Him and their stars

The virtual ring looks like a huge light curtain that completely blocks the entire Sero Forest. Its scale is comparable to the largest urban energy shield. As far as people outside can see, they can only see an impenetrable halo completely surrounding this forest of light spears. As for everything happening inside. But they couldn't see clearly at all.

Not only the naked eye, but also the detection range of various instruments stopped in front of the light curtain, as if the entire forest had been artificially stripped out of this world.

From the perspective of mysticism, the virtual ring is the connection between the virtual world and the real world, resulting in a huge mysterious effect. All its components are energy from the virtual world. The existing scientific and technological detection instruments are based on the physical constants of the present world, so naturally they are helpless against the mysterious side's reaction.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see such mysterious power even on TV, let alone face it, break through it, or even destroy it.

From this perspective, the Marines who followed Yu Lian and Feifei directly into the virtual ring were indeed considered elite. At least they didn't faint on the spot and continued to move forward. Although their pace was a bit slow and even too heavy, they did not completely lose their rhythm.

Of course, after entering the virtual ring, the Marines held their weapons in front of them, ready to fire at any time. Every time they took a step forward, they had to pause, as if they had to look left and right to observe secretly for half a minute.

"Don't worry. This virtual ring is just a wall of separation from the virtual world. Whatever is inside is still the same." Yu Lian said to the soldiers.

Indeed, everyone originally thought that the inside of the virtual ring must be full of blood and evil winds, and a group of demons were dancing wildly, just like a horror blockbuster scene from hell descending on the world, but apart from the slightly lower visibility, it really didn't have much impact.

As for the equipment everyone brought, except for losing the ability to communicate with the outside world, everything was normal.

The Marines laughed along and said that the commander was right! But we should be cautious, and we even added a step-by-step, three-turn-back process.

They probably feel that the more normal the situation, the more abnormal it is. This is almost becoming a horror movie routine.

"I am a psychic." Yu Lian added: "No one here knows more about mysticism than me. My spiritual sense has been giving us early warnings."

"Thank you for your hard work." The Marines were very moved, but their marching speed still slowed down.

Feifei next to him seemed to be about to laugh out loud. Yu Lian simply calmed down his face and said directly in a commanding tone: "Speed ​​up the march! We must arrive at the predetermined location within an hour."

Yu Lian ignored the group of people and accelerated towards the destination. His attitude is very clear, if you don't follow, you will be left behind.

Yu Lian didn't even bother to kill two of them directly to scare the monkeys. It was as if this squad of heavily armed Marines were nothing more than a dispensable addition to him.

The Marines may have finally felt the humiliation and decided to be brave after realizing their shame, or maybe they were simply afraid of being left behind by their superiors, so they gritted their teeth and could only speed up and follow them.

The further they advanced, the deeper they went into the virtual ring and the Sero Forest, the morale of the marines slowly improved.

You know, Yu Lian has been using spiritual perception along the way, and can easily avoid all possible encounters in advance. If he really can't avoid it, he will take action in advance and kill the enemy in the way as covertly as possible.

During the hour-long march, several battles broke out, but each time there was no danger, and even the movement was not too big. At least it's not particularly intense in the weird environment of the Serlo Forest.

After killing two rock tigers, a group of twenty moa birds, and an activated man-eating tree, everyone passed through a valley, climbed over the mountains, and came to a hidden mountain stream.

Standing here, looking through the low bushes surrounding the mountains, you can already see the towers and towering observatories scattered in the mountains in the distance. That is the outer building of the ancient city of Thuluo.

This is the first time since the war began that the troops from the Suppression Headquarters have come so close to the ancient city of Thuro.

"You are actually so familiar with this place?" The Marine squad leader looked surprised. Looking at Yu Lian at this time, he seemed to have seen some kind of spectacle.

"I'm not familiar with it. But I am a psyker and can let the spirit of the universe guide me in the direction I want to go." Yu Lian's face was expressionless, looking unfathomable.

None of the Marines present had read much, so naturally they were all filled with admiration and admiration.

Feifei looked at Yu Lian with a half-smile. Of course, as a considerate and good girl, she would not throw cold water on him.

"It would be nice if you came earlier...bring more troops here, then you can launch a surprise attack on the enemy." The sergeant squad leader looked full of regret.

Yu Lian shook his head and said: "It's impossible for me to come in advance. Marching with a small force and a large force are completely different things, and the enemy's defenses are also different. You have all participated in several previous battles. Haven't you noticed that we sneaked in this time? , have the patrols of the rebels and cultists relaxed a lot?”

The Marines thought about it again and found that this was really the case.

"This means that the enemy has reached the most critical juncture in order to cause big trouble."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that there seemed to be no logic in what he said. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Lian had already walked behind a mountain wall, stretched out his hand and patted it gently, injecting spiritual energy into the cold stone slab.

"Kahu~~~" The sound of friction between rocks and machinery sounded on the mountain wall.

This sound is not the dull and time-worn roar when those ancient mechanisms that have been hidden for countless years are activated. It is not particularly loud, and the tone is fairly smooth, as if it has been regularly maintained and filled with high-quality lubricants. . It was completely covered up by Yu Lian's sound-blocking stance supported by spiritual energy.

A dark passage gradually appeared in the tightly knit mountain.

"Military secrets!" Yu Lian said to the Marines whose jaws were about to drop in shock.

Feifei was still smiling while stroking her hands, but she didn't hide her teasing when looking at Yu Lian.

The young rebel leader with a rising reputation, Kolmo was walking through the underground tunnel of the ancient city of Thuro, preparing to return to the altar site. He did go for a final defensive check before.

After leaving the underground altar, Colmo carefully inspected the defense area of ​​​​Sero Ancient City and rechecked all the defensive troops and garrison facilities.

He also told all soldiers to be vigilant, not only to guard against the Earth's army outside, but also to guard against allies in the city.

In addition, now that all patrol teams cannot leave the city, they should be added to the defense forces.

Compared with other rebel leaders who rely on inciting hatred, religious indoctrination, and violent intimidation to lead their troops, Kolmo's work is much more professional. This is actually his most important source of reputation, completely surpassing his own strength.

He is also not shy about sharing his expertise and advice with the rest of the rebel group. Therefore, in the Lumina Rebel community, they have always been known as "Colmo the righteous and eager for justice".

When Kolmo returned to the underground hall, many rebel leaders nodded silently or even greeted him. At first glance, it seemed as if they were welcoming a king.

In the underground hall with extremely low visibility, they did not see the gloomy look on Colmo's face and the fullness of his thoughts.

"External communications have been completely cut off. There is no way to connect to that adult...have they arrived yet?" He covered his chest and felt a rush that he had never experienced before, which made him so nervous that he could hardly breathe. I can't breathe anymore.

"Calm down! Colmo! Calm down! Today is the turning point in the fate of the people of Rumina!"

Yan Gong looked thoughtfully at Kolmo who had walked to the corner to hide himself again, and sighed heavily in his heart, with extremely complicated emotions.

The most powerful group among the Lumina rebels was originally Suna Dena's divine army. This was also the only one among the Lumina rebel group that owned a battleship - although it was only at the level of a pirate ship, it was indeed a battleship. At the same time, Sunadna was born (not sure whether it is true or not) into a famous family, and he is a psyker of the martial arts sect. He is quite popular among the Rumina people who advocate bravery.

Ever since, he has always regarded himself as the only leader of the Rumina rebels, and he has always been bossy to other leaders. He almost said to everyone, "When the people on Earth are driven away, I can become the king."

In the past ten years, Yan Gong has been living in the shadows. Although he is old, he considers himself to be an old man, and life like this is really torturous.

Fortunately, because the warships were too conspicuous, the divine army was blocked by the far-shore fleet in the Earl I Star Gap and was completely wiped out. Sunadna himself also died on the earth.

Iwagong originally thought that it would be his turn to make the decision for the Rumina rebels after Sunadna. Unexpectedly, another Kolmo came.

Unlike Denasuna, who had no brute force but was full of religious fanaticism, this young man was equally powerful, but thoughtful, quick-thinking, and magnanimous. He was also a new man who had received higher education in the empire. In just a few years, his status in the rebel army has skyrocketed, and he is about to be ranked ahead of him this time.

...It is really painful to be an old man with dreams! .

Yan Gong, who was still young but still ambitious, adjusted his breathing and returned his attention to the functioning magic circle. He admitted that he was indeed jealous of the young man. He also admitted that he still has no mature plan for how to deal with the relationship with this young man in the future.

But no matter what, this is the last thing that needs to be resolved.

All Souls Cult Master Flores Wanda seemed to have never seen the reactions of the people of Rumina. He was still stroking the mirror with one hand and paying full attention to the operation of the magic circle.

As a cult leader who pursues freedom, Leader Wanda actually feels aggrieved. Originally, my sect followed the upper-level route and already had considerable influence. If everything goes well, it might not be a bad idea to one day become the behind-the-scenes controller of a country as big as the Community.

When that time comes, my status in the organization will definitely be comparable to that of the Thirteen Faces.

Li Lingzhi has fainted! Why are you causing trouble on Earth for the sake of the large Plaka-shaped super large magic circle? Is it really just for the legacy of Earl Salvin? Is it really just to prove yourself in front of the organization’s bosses?

Is all of this more important than the foundation he has built over the past few decades?

Flores Wanda sighed silently. At this point, does he have any other choice?

Fortunately, at least for now, the magic circle is running very smoothly.

As long as it succeeds, as long as it can come, everything will be back on track. Leader Wanda thought.

At this time, a familiar step came to his side.

This is his most effective assistant, the young bishop Nauwen. He is the youngest member of the All Souls Church bishops, less than thirty years old this year, but he is the one with the highest academic qualifications, having a doctorate from the Alliance.

"Leader, from now on, all our communication equipment has failed."

Leader Wanda nodded noncommittally.

Naowen added: "In addition... because the magic circle is in operation, the animals in the forest are in a state of rage. Even the mounts of Lumina warriors cannot be controlled, and the patrols on the periphery have stopped. At this time , if the enemy sends troops to enter, we cannot give advance warning."

"Similarly, those violent beasts can also become our natural barrier, can't they?" Leader Wanda said.

Naowen nodded, but then shook his head. He then used subtle psychic operations to gather his voice and sent it directly to the leader's ears: "...I have prepared a shelter for you."

This was the most private form of conversation Bishop Nauwin could use. Techniques such as psychic chaining and chanting are too advanced for him to use. More importantly, doesn’t it seem too gay for two gentlemen to have a mutual understanding?

"Taking refuge? At this time? When victory is about to happen?" Leader Wanda seemed to have turned his attention away from the mirror in his hand and the magic circle opposite, and glanced at Naowen.

"After an auspicious time, it will return to this world. Everything here will be overturned. Just wait and see, my friend." The leader said.

Naowen advised again: "...However, we cannot completely expect that everything will go smoothly, let alone expect our people to do nothing, let alone our allies. Even, we cannot expect this magic circle, these The sacrificial weapon can really exert the effect described in the notes. Therefore, a retreat must be prepared."

The truth of what the young man said was a bit harsh, especially for Leader Wanda, who had lost the business he had been operating for twenty years and had no choice but to put himself here.

The leader looked at the unyielding assistant and said expressionlessly: "Are you already here and ready?"

"Yes, I have been preparing since we first arrived in the ancient city of Sero." Naowen said.

What a reliable person! The leader squeezed out the moved emotion in his eyes, and confirmed that the other party had seen his move, and then said: "...I will go there at the right time."

Naowen nodded, and seemed to have thought of something, and said: "In addition..."

"I understand." Leader Wanda interrupted the other party.

Wanda didn't say what he understood, but Naowen didn't ask any more questions. He just lowered his head and backed away slowly until he retracted into the shadow.

At this time, the light that enveloped the entire altar and formed the giant magic circle became brighter in an instant.

Behind the halo, a huge figure seemed to flash out, slowly emerging from the white light.
