Sword of Daybreaker

Cecil led the rebellious fortress deep in the southern region.

The brilliance of the portable magic crystal lamp illuminates the faint and dark ruins. With the advancement of the light, the crisp sound of the boots as they step on the slate floor breaks the quiet silence of the corridor for thousands of years.

A soldier wearing light armor came out of the corner of the corridor. The armor of this soldier is not the same as the armor of most combat occupations of this era. It looks like a close-fitting soft leather armor. But in the chest, waist and abdomen and other key positions covered with strong steel plate, and on the back of the soldier, you can also see a small, seemingly small version of the combat bag "bag", the soldier's left hand wrist, you can also see It is a device that looks like a light military magic guide terminal.

This equipment is like a lightweight version of the current Cecil standard infantry suit.

Wearing a weird helmet on the soldier's head, the full-covering helmet is made of metal, not only wrapping the entire head, but even the eyes are covered, in the face that should have been left with the observation seam On the top, you can only see two dark red crystal lattices, just like some kind of goggles, or a viewfinder. At this moment, this "goggles" made of crystal is emitting a faint red magic light.

The magic spar light that illuminates the corridor is a highly versatile magic guide terminal that is sent from the front of the military magic guide terminal equipped with the left hand of the soldier. It can install a variety of expansion modules, with the rune research institute on the lower order. The simplification of the magic array continued to deepen. After the initial version of the thermal energy gun, the modules such as the force shield, the arcane missile, and the electric rifle were quickly developed, and the structure was simpler and more energy-consuming. A cheaper lighting device is of course the standard for the magical terminal. The magical crystal light, which is constant and bright, is not as easy to extinguish as a torch, and causes a fire, is a must-have feature for exploring in dark areas.

The soldier swept the front corridor in the light of his hand, then pressed it in the temple position of the helmet, and the red crystal "goggles" faded down and gradually became a transparent ordinary crystal, from his There was a low voice coming from the visor: "There is no abnormal magic reaction."

More [m.] footsteps came from behind, and more than a dozen soldiers of the same equipment came out. The light of the magic spar light made this corridor bright and white, and then a safari of Soldering In the middle of the soldiers, the high-ranking ranger looked at the soldiers' dresses and actions and nodded slightly: "Yes, keep this state and explore it cautiously. Dom, how do the goggles feel?"

"That...wonderful," Dom was the soldier who was in charge of the investigation. He shook his head and touched the wafer in front of his eyes with his hand. "The original mages watched the magic when it was this vision... ..."

Solderin looked at the soldier and said, "I didn't let you sigh this."

"Yes!" Dom hurriedly stood upright. "The vision is very clear. You can see the more obvious magic flow, but there are a lot of light spots jumping in and out of the field. It will be very uncomfortable after a long time... and this helmet is a bit stuffy."

"This is a test item. Everyone's helmet has different nuances. I will record these questions and go back and let the technicians modify them." Solderin nodded. "We will move on."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison, then reorganized the forward exploration queue and continued to walk carefully along the corridor.

Solderlin is still at the end of the team, jing glaring at the dark corners where the lights can't be illuminated.

With his strength as a high-ranking ranger, this position is enough to see the entire team even if an emergency occurs.

Looking at the front of these equipped with a variety of magical armed forces, from modeling to combat mode to action mode are completely different from any conventional arms of this era, "steel Rangers", high-level ranger heartfelt emotions.

The weapons and equipment of these soldiers are all newly designed, and before the actual dressing, these things have been tested and verified in the laboratory due to the existence of a master metal craftsman such as Nicholas Eggs. The sharp equipment from the production to the test is incredible, and some of the equipment of the steel rangers are actually the modification of the mature technology already in the territory, so these verification equipment will soon reach the soldiers.

According to Gao Wen, the industrial production on the territory cannot rely too much on the ability of Nicholas Eggs, but should realize the self-sustainability of the industrial chain and realize the “out of the plug-in” (although no one knows what the “plug-in” means), but Nicholas Eggs are still an indispensable boost when experimenting with some samples or configuring equipment for a special unit such as the Steel Ranger.

It is also because of the total efforts of Nicholas Eggs that Soderlin can see the steel-hulled cavalry of his own hands so armed (although several key equipments are still under development and there are no finished products at present), And see how incredible power these things are called "magic armies."

Now, he is thoroughly understanding why Gao Wen is obsessed with making a large number of cheap, cheap, and can be used by ordinary people. This road... can really be walked through.

In the midst of thinking, a soldier’s report was heard into the ear of Solderin: "Sir, there is an isolation gate in front, the scale is large, there is a magical reaction left, maybe...may be the i-class gate!"

Solderlin immediately raised his head and looked at the passage ahead.

At the end of the ancient, still sturdy ancient corridor, you can clearly see a black gate that is powerless and blocks the road ahead.

Solderin remembered the information he had mastered before the handover with Byron. In this ancient "hiccup fortress", there are various isolation corridors and isolation gates. These gates are divided into three according to their functions and sizes. Class, class iii gates are ordinary doors in various areas of the fortress, usually the entrances and exits of various rooms, most of which have lost power, but because of the weak strength, the structure is simple, can be cracked (or destroyed) by technology; the type ii gate is used Separation doors that separate the various areas of the fortress. These doors are larger and stronger, but the backup energy is still basically running. Most of them can be opened by the unlocking method provided by Carmel. The i-type gate is the largest and the main. The gate on the channel, this gate...

At present, only a few are found, located in the entrance hall of the relics, which are the entrances and exits of the rebellious fortress.

Solderin’s eyes were serious. He waved the soldiers to move closer to themselves, then walked in front of the front door and came to the front door.

After being close enough, he was more certain of the judgment made by the soldier.

The door is large and is located at the end of a large corridor suspected of being the main passage. The old identity device can be seen next to the gate, and the entire door seems to have been cast from purple steel...

This is not a common door for separating areas, but a main isolation door.

Did they arrive at the end of the southern tip of the hiccup fortress?

So soon it’s over?

Soldering was a bit strange. He knew that the fortress was huge. There were hidden unknown areas in the dark corridor of the endless darkness, so he prepared for long-term action when he started exploring. But today is only the sixth day he entered the fortress. Four days before the limit of the week’s exploration time, he even arrived at the end of the southern part of the fortress.

"Keep jing or light, illuminate all dark places, singular numbered players, open the detection eyepieces, double numbered players, assisted observation."

Solderlin quickly issued a series of instructions, and the soldiers responded quickly. The corners of this wide corridor were brightly lit by the magical lights, and Soldering was bright. Alone in front of the heavy old purple steel door, looking up at the inscription on the door.

The ancient Gang dynasty text, Soldering is recognized, there is a line of logo on the gate:

"Front, Shadow Lab."

Opposite the gate is another experimental field?

Soldering looked at the purple steel gate in front of him with some surprises and curiousness, and then realized the unusualness of this so-called "shadow experimental field".

Separating the "shadow experimental field" from the main body of the hiccup fortress is an "i-class gate", an extremely sturdy, extremely magical-resistant door that can theoretically serve as the main portal of the fortress!

With seven hundred years of experience accumulated throughout the mainland, Soldlin immediately judged the door: although the scale is very similar to the entrance and exit of the fortress, this door is probably not a rebellious fortress. The southern boundary should be just a layer of extra-strengthened protective barrier. Opposite the door is another important area of ​​the rebellious fortress!

"Sir, do you want to try to open this door?" A soldier asked, the soldier's eyepiece flashed a dark red light. "There is still magic flow in the door, and the door is not broken."

Soldlin thought about it and shook his head decisively: "Leave the mark on the map, leave the magic net unit and lighting here, and then return. Wait until you are ready to come back."

"Yes!"

The soldier obeyed the order, and Solderin turned his head and finally looked at the purple steel door.

He actually wants to know more about the opposite of the door than the soldiers, but he has not forgotten that this is just a mission of exploration. He explores the relics with the training soldiers of the steel cavalry on the one hand to train the soldiers, on the other hand to test those The newly designed equipment, this is already quite a bold move, because even with the technical strength of Nicholas? Eggs, with the care of his high-ranking ranger, the soldiers using the test equipment are still taking a lot of risks, in the remains The situation of encountering danger and sudden equipment failure was considered by everyone from the beginning, so before the departure, Solderin received the order of Gao Wen to explore for a maximum of one week, and at most explored one area, not entering high risk. Zone, in case of fighting, priority retreat.

Now facing the "shadow experiment field" where the situation is unknown, he decided to temporarily retreat in accordance with Gao Wen's order. After returning, he will report the situation here and then prepare to come back again.

It didn't take long for the team to go here for a full six days, but that's because the road is still drawing maps, exploring the roads, setting up the guiding lights, and if you go back and forth at full speed, one day will be enough.

......

At the same time, in the study room of Cecil’s lord’s office, Gao Wen ended the review of the documents. He sat in his large seat and determined that there should be no one to disturb this time. In the mind, outline and monitor the satellite's communication channel.

The surveillance picture from the synchronous orbit slowly emerged and formed a stable picture in the high-conscious world of consciousness. In the overlooking view, he clearly saw the mountains and plains of the northern part of Loren.

He began to zoom in and constantly fine-tune the area of ​​the satellite view.

His vision swept through the southern part of Ansu, and then slowly moved toward the northeast, gradually crossing the collar of Ge Lan, crossing the east of Ansu...

The picture stopped moving and gradually zoomed in and zoomed in. On a small plain with a relatively flat terrain, he saw a slightly fuzzy fortress standing on a stone platform.

Fortress.

Gao Wen changed his position in a comfortable position and began to patiently adjust the surveillance satellite's picture that was slightly out of focus due to aging.
