Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 623 Great Migration

A few days later, Zambula Iron Falls Province.

This used to be one of the most prosperous mechanical cities in the southern part of the Marfa Empire, but because the connection place of the channel of the Celestial Plane is here, this big city also became the first city in the Alchemy Plane to fall.

The mechanical city once inhabited by millions of people is now dead silent.

There are traces left by the war everywhere in the city, collapsed high-rise buildings, crater-like explosion marks, and the wreckage burned by the fire.

All the symbols of machinery and alchemy in the city were destroyed, and the locomotives and mechanical equipment that used to be seen everywhere on the street were also turned into scrap iron, and even talking about it became a "taboo."

There is only one new building, and that is the white stone statue hundreds of meters high in the central square of the city.

It was early morning, and a long bell rang, and ragged people emerged from the ruins. They put down everything in their hands and prayed devoutly to the statue.

This is not a magician from the plane of the gods, but an aborigine from Zambra Iron Falls Province.

After the outbreak of war, not everyone can escape, and the elderly, weak, women and children with limited mobility will always be victims.

They were trapped in the city.

The magicians of the Celestial Plane spread the belief of Outer Gods to them and asked them to pray every day.

Only in this way can they survive.

If there is no external force to interfere, probably after many years, the aborigines here will completely seal the once glorious mechanical alchemy civilization in the depths of their memory, and thus become devout believers of the outer gods.

At this moment, on a hillside more than ten kilometers away from the city.

Two people are holding a monocular and looking at everything in the city.

It is in the mountains a few kilometers southwest of the Zambula Iron Waterfall, where there is a blue beam of light several kilometers in diameter projected from the sky on the ground. Like a huge pillar, supporting heaven and earth.

And in the telescope, you can see the layers of magic restrictions around the beam of light, as well as densely packed magic towers.

Seven-story, eight-story, nine-story, and even ten-story magic towers.

The number of layers of the magic tower means that the magic power it can carry fluctuates beyond the upper limit of the rules.

A ten-story magic tower is probably equivalent to a demigod-level magic wave.

Moreover, these magic towers are connected together, which obviously coincides with some kind of super magic circle.

The thickness of the magic power fluctuations on the magic circle that is visible to the naked eye gives people an indestructible sense of oppression.

Seeing this, Su Lun put down the telescope in his hand, and sighed slightly: "There is the 'Alphat Magic Tower Array' in the plane channel, which is said to be a super-order array with the power of gods. If you want to destroy it by force, you will almost Impossible."

"."

Mr. Jing on the side listened, and there was no surprise, he remained silent and did not speak.

Su Lun originally wanted to come over and see if he could find a chance.

But now that it is confirmed, there is no chance at all.

It is because he understands the magic system of the plane of gods that he knows that there is no chance at all.

This kind of magic tower integrated formation, even if there are a hundred more, I may not be able to break through it.

The scale has changed qualitatively, and these magic circles are also the foundation of the plane of the gods.

After pondering for a long time, neither of them spoke.

Looking at the suffering people in the city, a strange look flashed across Mr. Jing's eyes, and she said: "This may be the last time for the alchemy plane to be stable. In the future, when the channel of the plane is stabilized, the price of the strong coming will become smaller and smaller." .If the ninth order descends on a large scale, we will be under more and more pressure. And judging from the current situation, we may be able to withstand descending to the god rank in a year or two at most."

As she said that, she paused for a while, watching the distance gradually deepen, and said again: "We don't have much time left."

Ordinary people are still immersed in the joy of the victory in the past few days. But only those top-level powers of the alchemy plane know that the pressure relief is only temporary. The real crisis will inevitably come in the near future.

Su Lun nodded when he heard this.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes. If the problem of the plane channel cannot be completely sealed, the problem will always exist."

Mr. Jing frowned slightly, and said: "The structure of the plane channel is too complicated, and it is not comprehensible at the mortal level. Even in my father's realm, I could only repair some cracks back then. To completely solve it, it may take It won't be possible until we truly master the power of the gods."

Su Lun shrugged.

His current omniscient pupil of the second solution can understand a little bit, but there is nothing he can do.

These plane passages were established during the most glorious civilization period of alchemy civilization.

Those powerful alchemists back then had the power to suppress all planes, and the passage was convenient for them. But the current alchemy civilization has declined, and there is no god rank, so it is impossible to touch the realm of gods such as plane passages.

The channel key fell into the hands of Su Lun, but he couldn't unilaterally close this plane channel.

In that level of limited comprehension, Su Lun felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if the power in his hand was a thin thread, but he was asked to mend the rushing river.

The heart is more than enough, but the strength is far from enough.

Obviously, this problem can't be solved for the time being, and the two didn't bother with it much.

They didn't come here to solve the problem of plane passage.

It has another purpose.

Su Lun changed the subject and said directly: "Now it seems that it is not bad that the plane of the gods can descend to a ninth level in a month. There is not much threat to us in a short period of time. The information from the United Fleet has not been leaked yet. We There should be a few big waves."

He stripped the memories of the three Dharma saints before, and also knew a lot of inside stories about their arrival.

Now that I came here to look at the situation of the plane channel, I wanted to calculate the general situation in the future.

"Um."

When Mr. Jing heard this, his eyebrows relaxed slightly.

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "The top priority is to relocate as many people from Mafa as possible to Luying. Population is the cornerstone of civilization and the most important link of inheritance. Now is the last chance."

As the two talked, the person had disappeared.

After half a month.

Herbitzon, the largest city on the coastline in the northwest of Marfa, has the largest deep-water port in the north of Marfa.

Since the last time the United Fleet destroyed the coastal defense force that was finally established on the plane of the gods, the command of the sea has always been on the side of the United Empire.

The 10,000-man corporation once stationed by Herbitson had no supplies, and after holding on for a few months, it also withdrew.

The city in ruins is now one of the few rebel gathering places in Marfa.

Even after the Battle of Clemington half a month ago, these people who insisted on fighting far away in Marfa also received great news, that is, the empire had sent a fleet to pick them up.

This allows all the people on the front line to see the hope of survival.

In just half a month, tens of millions of people have poured into this port city from all directions.

Back then, the plane invasion was too sudden, and the Marfa Empire had a large population, so it was impossible to complete the transfer in a short period of time.

Most of the first migrants are mechanical engineers, necessary construction personnel, women and children.

A large number of troops and ordinary residents remained in Marfa. .

After breaking the city, they could only scatter and fight guerrillas in various mountainous areas.

Now that there is an opportunity, the United Empire immediately dispatched a large number of ships to pick them up.

Night fell.

The sky is full of stars, and the night is sultry.

In a camp ten miles outside Herbitsund, a bonfire was burning brightly.

A steam motorcycle came galloping from the suburbs.

Watching the motorcycle approaching, the sentinel on the high wall shouted from a long distance: "This is the outpost of Hebbit Songgang, friends in front, please show your identity."

Su Lun stopped the motorcycle, and Mr. Jing who was on the back seat also took off his helmet. The two casually unbuttoned a piece of clothing, and the dozens of pairs of cautious eyes on the wall immediately retracted.

Seeing this, the sentinel immediately said: "Okay, you can enter. Open the door!"

The gate of the camp opened slowly.

This is to prevent the enemy from sneaking in.

But in fact, magicians on the plane of gods are easy to identify. Magicians do not have mechanical modifications, nor do they have alchemy equipment, and their beliefs prevent them from even touching any alchemy products.

So from the first time the sentries saw Su Lun riding a motorcycle, they had already identified it.

What's more, without a legion of magicians, the threat is not great.

Su Lun and the two rode into the camp.

Stationed here is a rebel alliance called the "Iron Knights Alliance".

They set up camp here to provide defense for the civilians in Herbitson City.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing came here this time because they had received the definite news that the magicians from the plane of the gods would wait for the fleet to arrive tomorrow and surprise Herbitson.

The two parked the car and walked into the camp.

In the camp for half a month, rebels gathered from all directions, probably tens of thousands of people.

This is like a small war town, very lively.

There are regular soldiers, adventurers, and mechanical blasters. Pedestrians on the street are all armed with various types of mechanical weapons, and the models are also varied.

The most numerous shops in the camp are various mechanical modification shops and supply shops. All kinds of firearms and ammunition are randomly placed in front of the shops and piled up into mountains.

Then there are a few humble taverns open.

Even if the tavern is very simple, it is one of the few pastimes for the rebels, and it is full of people.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing walked all the way into the camp, and there was nowhere to go, so they found a tavern and ordered some beer.

In the current situation, beer is a hard currency, the price is very high, and drinking it is a luxury.

The two sat in the corner and had nothing to do, listening to people chatting excitedly.

As soon as Su Lun and Mr. Jing walked over, they were surprised to find that the most conspicuous place on the bar counter of the pub had posted the "Lingdon Daily" half a month ago.

Don't know where those guys got them from.

But the photos of Dawn members on the front page stand out.

People talked about dawn, as if they had found some kind of spiritual sustenance, and talked endlessly.

Not long after he sat down, he heard a bearded man with a loud voice drinking beer, excitedly talking about the latest news he just received: "Do you know that the fleet sent by the United Empire is said to be tomorrow?" It's almost here. I heard that thousands of boats are coming to take us to Luying!"

This said, the tavern seemed to explode, and everyone immediately became excited.

"Oh, it's finally here. I thought the empire had given up on us. Hahaha, I can finally see my little Jimmy again!"

"Hmph, who knows if it's true. It's been so long since I thought about picking up people, how many can I pick up at a time? Don't be like the first time, the rich and nobles ran away first, leaving us civilians to charge at the front Send to death."

"Everyone, don't blame the empire. If the royal family hadn't decisively ordered to blow up the major shipyards, the magicians in the plane of the gods would have already used our warships to invade the hinterland of Lu Ying. If that was the case, we would alchemy Civilization really doesn't even have a chance to turn around. You may not know that the situation in the occupied area is very bad now. Those guys on the plane of the gods destroyed all traces of the alchemy civilization, and forced the living to believe in those outer gods Hmph! The only thing we alchemists believe in is truth, and machinery is power, how could we believe in those hypocritical outer gods?"

"That's right. Even if there was a boat before, they didn't dare to pick us up. If we were snatched by the mages from the plane of the gods, our last bit of pure land for survival would be gone. Now that the empire has recovered, wouldn't this Come to pick us up?"

"But. Then why would the empire dare to pick us up now?"

"Hey, are you new to camp?"

"Well. Before, our "Red Jazz Knights" were dispersed by the magicians, and the few survivors were driven to the northern mountains. We also just came out of the mountains the day before yesterday."

"That's no wonder. Didn't you hear that 'Liming' just beheaded three ninth-level Dharma Saints?"

"Ninth-rank Dharma Saint? Did our people kill him?"

"Really? We also have top experts in the Alchemy Plane! It is said that they are hermits. The leader of the Dawn Organization, Mr. Jing, is said to be a direct blood relative of Sir Isaac a thousand years ago."

"real?"

"Isn't it? How about those masters of Liming who can kill ninth-level Dharma Saints like slaughtering dogs? Did you see the newspaper on the wall? That's Liming!"

"."

The more people talked, the more excited they became.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing in the corner had weird expressions on their faces.

Originally, there were some exaggerated descriptions in the newspapers for publicity.

Now that it's spread here, people in the Liming Group seem to have become god-like masters.

The two looked at each other, dumbfounded.

But the atmosphere is very enthusiastic, and people are blowing more and more vigorously.

Speaking of excitement, the bearded man who brought the news earlier greeted the entire tavern: "Cheers! Congratulations to the empire, and to the dawn!"

The tavern immediately responded excitedly: "Cheers!"

Su Lun was also affected by the atmosphere, raised his glass, and motioned to Mr. Jing opposite: "Sister, cheers?"

Mr. Jing was slightly taken aback, as if he was in some trouble. But after a moment, she smiled slightly: "Well, cheers."

As she spoke, she picked up the huge oak wine glass and drank the wine.

Su Lun finished drinking in one gulp, and turned around to see Mr. Jing drinking with his slender neck held high. A little bit of water overflowed from the corner of his mouth and slid down on his fair skin, which was crystal clear under the light of the fire.

Only then did Su Lun realize that this was the first time he saw his senior sister gulping down beer?

Elegant as ever.

After drinking for a while, the two pitched a tent in the camp to meditate and rest.

The night passed quickly.

the next day.

Early in the morning, the camp suddenly boiled.

"The ship is here! The empire's ship is here to pick us up!"

"Oh my god, there are at least a thousand boats coming, so dense that you can't see the end!"

"Hahaha that's the Thunder Tiger banner of Generalissimo Meredith, our Generalissimo is here!"

"Oh, this is the joint fleet that annihilated eight Ten Thousand Legislative Corps?"

"."

I don't know who yelled first, and all of a sudden, tens of thousands of people in the entire camp were awakened.

People climbed up the tower and looked at the sea to the west with binoculars.

Everyone was excited when they saw the densely packed ships on the horizon heading towards the port.

Not only the tens of thousands of people at the sentry post, but also the tens of millions of people in the city of Herbitsong not far away are all boiling up.

Those were super large cruise ships, warships, giant cargo ships, the combined fleet and the Eternal Night escort.

Su Lun and Mr. Jing were not surprised at all.

Because the ship's arrival date has been communicated with them.

Only when they were there, would the United Empire really dare to send so many ships to pick them up.

The two woke up from meditation and walked out of the tent.

They didn't look at the sea to the west, but to the east.

In the communicator, the intelligence organization of the imperial military has reported the enemy's latest movements.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows and said, "Those guys on the plane of the gods have also made a move."

Mr. Jing said: "In the second half of the month, there should be at most two ninth-level Dharma Saints descending, so it's not a big problem."

Su Lun smiled: "Tsk tsk, the 120,000-member corporation, this is almost all the combat power deployed by those guys from the plane of the gods in the northern part of Marfa. It will be settled now, and it will be stable for a long time ah."

Mr. Jing stared into the distance, his eyes blurred and far away, "Yes. This time, a large number of people should be able to be transported to Luying."
