Chapter 266 The Hope of Athas Legion Expansion
"What an incredible creation."
Stormy seas.
After adjusting its direction, the huge Hall of Valor smoothly shuttled over the clouds.
In a huge square above it, the monitor lizard and Adam were sitting opposite each other. Both of them shrunk their bodies to within normal limits.
Although the square is built above the Hall of Valor.
But under the care of the internal circulation device, the scenery is quite good, with rockery gardens and flowing water in the garden.
Not far away.
A fist-sized mechanical bird was tilting its head cutely, looking at the two monsters who were talking to each other at the stone table.
After deactivating the Gundam form, Adam's body shape and second psychic level did not change much. After all, as a mechanical creature, every time it grows, the changes are mainly reflected in spiritual energy rather than its own body.
Opposite it.
The giant lizard transformed into a half-dragon man more than three meters tall.
Its body is covered with black armor, and its chest has complex lines like spider webs that are emitting a dark red luster like magma.
The two sat together.
There were messy things on the table in front of me.
Near the giant lizard are food caught from the deep sea, while Adam's side contains various psychic potions.
The Storm Sea was once the center of the world.
Although they have been destroyed, a large number of mechanical originals and precious mineral materials are still preserved in those broken islands. Through the continuous collection of resources these days, the power module, communication module, defense module, etc. of the Hall of Valor have been restored to varying degrees.
In particular, the functions of modules such as deflection shields, hysteresis stance generators, and storm-class energy cannons have been restored.
This greatly improves the comprehensive combat capabilities of the Hall of Valor.
Although there is still a huge gap between the Apocalypse-class battleships in their heyday, and the think tank Anikoun is also very pessimistic about whether the Hall of Valor, which was severely damaged by the insect nest, can be restored to its original state with the current remaining technological conditions.
But overall.
The Hall of Valor now finally has some of the majesty of the peak of technology in the Golden Age.
besides.
During the time when Adam fell into a deep sleep.
Another huge gain that must be mentioned is that McNi and others discovered a large number of sleeping Atas warriors in an abandoned military base.
Over a long period of time, these Athas warriors were miraculously preserved.
Now.
The number of Athas warriors in the Hall of Valor finally exceeded three digits.
In the golden age, three-digit Attas monks were equivalent to a large company.
This is good news.
The other bad news is that it is very likely that there are only a few Attas monks left.
At its peak.
There are tens of thousands of Athasian monks in the world of Terraria.
At that time, even if they encountered the main fleet of the insect nest in space, they would dare to initiate a gang-hopping war.
Roaring and tearing the opponent into pieces.
To this day.
The glorious Attas monks have only the last rays of the setting sun left, and the number of less than a hundred people is all that is left now.
"It doesn't look like you're doing particularly well."
The half-human lizard leaned back on the chair. After hearing Adam's words, his vision suddenly broadened. The passage of time clearly appeared in front of him, causing the giant beast, which was less than one year old, to sigh.
"Well, you are right." Adam spread his hands, and a helpless smile appeared vividly on the mechanical face.
For him.
Adam didn't mind telling his brother the news.
After entering the third psychic level, past memories are restored more comprehensively. During the long conversation with Su Heng and the other brothers, Adam also decided to face up to his past failures.
Only by accepting the past can we better move into the future.
so.
When talking to the monitor lizard, Adam did not deliberately hide his past experiences and current difficulties.
If you really go by age, the monitor lizard is actually the smallest of all the templates.
It is even more disproportionate to Adam who is nearly 400 years old.
But the growth of wisdom is not absolutely positively correlated with time, especially for template creatures. While Adam raised the problem he encountered, he also hoped to help each other with other templates.
certainly…
Even if we can't help each other.
Being able to find a topic and break down the initial barriers is also quite effective.
"Brother Athas can only be transformed from psykers, right?" The giant lizard listened carefully.
After listening to Adam's description.
he asked.
"Yeah!" Adam nodded, but it added, "Some powerful awakened ones can also be transformed into Athas monks."
"However, all transformation rituals must be voluntary."
To strip the soul from flesh and blood.
This kind of pain is more severe than cramps and skin peeling. Without strong willpower, there is no way to survive until the end of the ceremony.
"Does it need to be in a state of complete victory?" The giant lizard seemed to have thought of something, and its golden pupils gradually lit up.
"As long as you have a breath."
Adam said decisively.
Being an Athasian monk is about the spirit and soul, and has little to do with flesh and blood.
"Then this matter will be easier to handle."
The giant lizard clapped its hands and made a crisp sound. The mechanical bird next to the stone table was frightened and immediately rolled its plump body and ran away.
"Oh, do you have any other ideas here?" Adam leaned forward slightly and said in surprise.
Expand the Athas Legion and restore the glory of the Golden Age.
These things.
Think Tank Enikoon chants a slogan next to it dozens of times every day. Adam felt that if he were still human, his ears would definitely have calluses.
Now, I suddenly heard hope from the monitor lizard.
How could he not be surprised.
"Haha..." The giant lizard reached out and touched its head, looking a little embarrassed.
Although it was the first time I met Adam.
But unexpected.
The two got along very well, and it didn't take long before they felt like they had met each other too late. And...that ritual that Adam just proposed.
"I just have a general idea here, and I'm not sure it will succeed."
The monitor lizard did not want his brother to be disappointed.
Get vaccinated in advance.
"It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter." Adam waved his hand and personally filled the giant lizard with a glass of fine wine from the golden age.
These fine wines are stored in an environment of more than 120 degrees below zero.
Densely compressed to prevent freezing.
Even if it is three hundred years later, after opening it again, the taste will still be the same, and it will even become more fragrant over time.
Not all Attas monks were ascetics.
Although he has put on a steel body, his senses of taste, smell, and touch are actually more stimulated by the precision sensors. Adam also heard from Anikoon that during a certain period of time, a plug-in module called "Righteous Whip" was circulated in the Athas Legion, and it was said to be infinitely wonderful.
"Good taste."
The monitor lizard poured the red wine with ice cubes into his mouth with a gulp, feeling the mellow and mellow aroma between his teeth and the coating on his tongue.
"It may not be easy to find people with psychic talents. However, in this era, there are many powerful extraordinary beings and even more powerful evolvers." The giant lizard said lightly.
"But strength alone does not make you a Brother Athas. What is more important is determination."
"Yes, they do not lack determination."
The monitor lizard paused and then added, "Determination can come from hatred, but it can also come from ambition, desire, and unwillingness."
"I see."
Adam was stunned for a moment, thought carefully before nodding seriously, "Thank you."
"No, it's me who should thank you."
The monitor lizard stood up.
The Hall of Valor has sailed out of the stormy sea, and the vast and calm ocean appears in front of it. Looking into the distance, under the golden sunshine, a huge ice sheet suddenly appeared in what should have been a tropical sea.
…
"Work harder, we must build defense facilities before the wormhole expands further."
Eilistraee stood on the ice.
The awakened ones who constantly command the sea tribe turn the surrounding sea into ice sheets and frozen soil.
After evolving to the third life level, they have the ability to have a large-scale impact on the surrounding environment. Evolvers at the level of Sea Emperor can turn the entire ocean into a glacier with a wave of their hands.
In the vast and boundless ocean.
There are only a few top evolvers of Sea Emperor's level.
But there are quite a lot of second-tier third life level evolvers.
At this moment, a large number of deep-sea behemoths gathered around the wormhole, and under their control, the cold air galloped around the dark wormhole in the depths of the ocean like white dragons.
Wherever he passed, the sea froze in patches. Huge glaciers emerged out of thin air in the deep sea.
The ice formed in the natural environment is not enough to resist the insect nest army.
Therefore, when the sea froze, the deep-sea tribes used ancient formation rituals to strengthen the ice walls. In addition, some special metals could also greatly increase the hardness of the ice sheets after being integrated into the glaciers.
Boom!
When most of the deep sea areas are frozen in accordance with predetermined requirements.
Amidst the weird-toned sacrificial voices of the Sea Tribe's priests, the huge white ice wall grew like bamboo shoots with violent friction sounds.
From a distance, what is said to be an ice wall is actually a ring-shaped iceberg.
The highest point of the iceberg is more than 1,500 meters, and the shortest point is more than 1,000 meters. Surrounding the entire wormhole, thousands of sea tribe priests cast spells together here, and the thin blue light shot straight into the sky and dyed the sky into a deep blue color.
Buzz!
The ice wall continues to rise.
The pirates and the slaves and attendants of the Golden King installed all the treasured cannons and crossbows in the slots left on the ice wall and fixed them.
Outside the ice sheet, there are hundreds of warships, large and small.
Ant-sized humans and slightly more conspicuous behemoths walked back and forth on the ice, carrying various supplies needed for the war.
In the initial plan made by the three parties of the Sea Tribe, the Golden King and the Giant Lizard.
After the ice wall is built.
They only need to block this entrance to prevent the sensory world from being polluted by the insect nest.
For now.
The entire plan is proceeding quite smoothly. At least the main body of the ice field defense line has been completed. Whether the follow-up plan can be implemented normally depends mainly on whether this massive defensive barrier can withstand the attack of the insect swarm.
"What an incredible building..." In an inconspicuous corner of the ice field.
Renguang and Rinzi led the monks and warriors of the Moon Kingdom to stay on the undulating glaciers, looking at the dark wormholes in the distance and the huge ice wall blocking the sky.
Rinzi sighed while holding the black armor plate in her hand.
The piece of metal given to her by the monitor lizard was made of unknown materials. It was heavy to hold, and it was still emitting heat continuously.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s my illusion.
After wearing it closely for a period of time, Rinzi felt that her physical fitness had become stronger.
"The power of the Sea Clan that has been passed down for thousands of years is awe-inspiring." Although Renguang inherited the memories of his previous life, he felt quite eye-opening at this moment.
He admired in a low voice, but there was also worry in his expression.
"Such a powerful deep-sea race and even the giant lizard who is friends with Lord Jamia take this matter very seriously. I can't imagine that when the power of the wormhole is completely released, the swarm of insects that will come out will be What a devastating disaster.”
He thought so in his mind.
However, after looking at the smile on Rinzi's face around him, he just shook his head and did not say these words.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Farther away, the Golden King jumped off the ship under the leadership of his guards.
Walking swaggering on the glacier, the eight guards were all dark-skinned and ugly-looking strong men, with strong vitality like wildfire.
Among these people.
The worst ones are those who have reached the realm of reality beyond the limits of the extraordinary.
The strongest among them have already reached the third life level and have certain attainments in it.
Cadilla, the big pirate with a hooked nose and pale skin, also appeared in the crowd, surrounded by a large group of pirates in strange clothes.
Even though they have suffered heavy losses one after another, the strength of the pirates cannot be underestimated. It is often heard that big pirates of the third life level are actively plundering in the central waters of the south.
However, when Cadilla looked towards the direction of the ice wall.
He sighed in confusion.
"In the beginning, we entered the deep sea for our dreams. Then we gathered to fight for the name of the emperor. Now, when we have lost our homes, wealth, dignity... and everything, what is the reason for fighting?"
Kadila seemed to be asking himself, and also seemed to be asking his companions around him, but no one could answer.
…
"Finally, it was completed without any danger."
Ice wall.
Eilistraee reached out and wiped a little ice water on her forehead. Even though she was in a glacier, she felt her body was incredibly hot.
As project manager for the Glacier Defense Initiative.
Whether during project construction or communicating with forces such as the Monitor Lizard, the Golden King, or even pirates, she is responsible for these miscellaneous things.
Of course, there is no need to describe the blessings and hardships involved.
Even Eilistraee, who is as powerful as the third life level limit, has become a little sluggish after working hard for more than half a month.
But when it's all done.
Look at the huge ice wall that shines in the sunlight and reflects the shiny luster in front of you.
A sweet smile appeared on Eilistraee's face, and a huge sense of satisfaction rose from the bottom of her heart: "The work is not over yet, the next step is the testing phase."
She took out a pen and paper and summarized and recorded what needed to be done next.
Click!
But at this moment, a subtle crisp sound reached his ears, and an obvious crack appeared on the ice wall.
Eilistraee's eyes suddenly became solemn. She looked toward the wormhole in the sea, only to find that the abyss was also staring at her.
A chilling sense of crisis instantly exploded in her consciousness.
