Struggle in the Steam Age

"Damn it, how should I get out of here?" After seeing the mess in front of him, Lawrence showed a helpless look on his face.

Because of the war just now, the field hospital is now full of wounded. At least judging by the speed at which the vortex formed by the blood-colored cloud moved, it was definitely impossible for him to remove all the wounded before the opponent arrived.

Although the headquarters immediately ordered to remove all the people and abandon all the supplies as soon as possible, the number of wounded here is really too large, and there are some seriously wounded who are basically unable to move.

This retreat time was not enough for Lawrence. After all, the transportation of those seriously wounded requires certain professional skills, and even if all the medical personnel are mobilized, it is impossible to evacuate before the disaster strikes.

During this period of time, because of the approaching vortex, Nora has judged that what is hidden in the bloody vortex is not a clone of a god, but a divine disaster that condenses the power of a god.

Of course, this kind of name is for the power used by the gods of the hostile race. If it is for the gods of one's own race, then this kind of power is often called divine punishment.

Compared with the projected avatar, this kind of god who only sends out one blow is equivalent to turning all the power that can be invested into the main plane during this period into lethality. From a certain point of view, this kind of lethality is more powerful. But the accuracy is much worse.

Unlike the avatar, which can track and kill an active enemy, the divine disaster can only deliver a single blow to a fixed location. If the target is some very mobile existence, then it is not impossible to hit the air with one blow.

At the same time, compared with the avatar that needs to maintain precise control, the god can completely hide in a safe place to operate when this kind of divine disaster is released.

For Rose, who is likely to be beaten by the gods of civilized races, especially the elves, after this blow. Being able to escape a second earlier is a very worthwhile thing.

However, when facing a place like Pine Tree Valley, divine disaster is obviously a very suitable method. Because Pine Valley is a purely fixed target, and if all the power is projected here and the area is completely wiped out. Rose can naturally give everyone a warning through this tragic image.

After seeing the Transcendents on the side of the coalition forces repeatedly blocked them to no avail, Lawrence immediately went to the headquarters in Pine Valley to question the priests accompanying the army.

The result was that almost all the gods of the other wilderness races appeared around, while the gods of the civilized race fought fiercely with them in order to protect the coalition forces.

Although it is certain that the gods of the civilized race have the upper hand in the current battle situation. But the battle between the gods is not the kind that can be resolved with one or two moves.

So the final conclusion is that before Rose's disaster, everyone in Pine Valley can only rely on themselves.

"If it really doesn't work, then we can only give up some people." After getting the news, Lawrence returned to the field hospital through a low wall and said to Nora, and then turned to the little girl who bowed her head and said nothing. The puppet comforted me.

"I know this situation must be very difficult, but right now we can only save as many people as we can."

Both Lawrence and Nora knew that there was no way to open the astral plane at this time. Because once it is opened at this distance, it will definitely not be hidden from Rose.

And once this evil god discovers the existence of the astral plane, the most likely thing for the other party is to launch a massive attack to destroy a larger area while suffering some losses, in order to kill Lawrence and the others and snatch this plane from them. Astral plane, in this way, more people will die.

"No, that's not what I thought." The little doll looked up at Lawrence at this moment, and Lawrence saw a resolute expression on her face.

"I feel that the extraordinary power in my body has reached a critical point after going through so many things recently, so I want to try to block that lady's blow. If I succeed, my power will be There is a qualitative change."

"Will this be too dangerous?" Lawrence asked worriedly after hearing what the little puppet said. "After all, that lady is not a new god, but an extremely experienced middle god. Although the blow that he wishes to destroy Pine Valley should be just a casual blow to him, but—"

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub, and for me, if I can block the attack of the middle god at this time, it will be of great help to my path to transcendence." Nora spoke extremely fast. Said in a low voice. "Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for me to find an opportunity for a mid-god to understate the attack and defend."

"At least for me right now, a casual strike from the middle god is the upper limit I can deal with, and the effect is also the best. For the future, I am willing to gamble. Not to mention that doing so can save many innocent people."

The corners of Nora's mouth turned up slightly when she said this. "And I'm different from ordinary people. A part of my core soul is hidden in your soul, so even if I die by mistake this time, I can be resurrected."

"Of course, that kind of resurrection requires a lot of materials. And once resurrected, my extraordinary level will return to the level of the first glimpse of the extraordinary gate control.

But to me, it's all worth it. Because this kind of opportunity to cross the threshold of transcendence is so rare now, I can say that it is worth dying for. "

"If you can figure it out, then do it." Lawrence gently hugged the doll and said, kissing her forehead. "I'm going to try to evacuate everyone here and stay away from here, so that if something happens to you-well, it shouldn't be said at this time."

"Then I'll go." After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora began to adjust her body and get ready. And Lawrence himself directed the people under his command to select the wounded with a higher probability of survival from among the wounded as quickly as possible, and move them to the nearby airship.

After the airship finally took off in an emergency, Lawrence immediately took the personnel he brought with him, gave up all their weapons and equipment, and quickly retreated to the periphery of Pine Valley.

Fortunately, those wounded who were abandoned were basically in a coma. So when Lawrence and the others retreated, they didn't hear many voices from the wounded, which also made them feel better.

"It must be successful!" Lawrence, who left last, prayed silently after looking at Nora, who was quietly kneeling on the desk in his own office in the field hospital. then he

The curtain of the tent was lowered and the last one left the field hospital. Then he followed his team and ran towards the nearest hill.

"It's time to fight it out." After watching Lawrence and the staff leave through the gap in the tent door, Nora raised her head and glanced at the approaching bloody vortex and the distance here through the skylight, and then muttered. .

"It seems that there are still ten minutes of preparation time, which should be enough."

After making sure that no one was bothering her, Nora connected to her astral plane through a soul connection.

When her consciousness was just projected into that plane, the white jackal who had been in charge of the management of the temple affairs immediately discovered her and bowed with his hands crossed in front of his chest: "My lord—"

"Okay, Silverback, you don't have to make it so formal every time." A silver-green light like fireflies quickly formed the image of Nora on the altar of the temple. "I'm here this time because I want to find you something."

"Please order from my lord." After hearing what Nora said, the old jackal named Silverback lowered his head even lower. "We will give you our all."
