The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing the middle-aged councilor's words, all the people in the round table hall looked at the white-clothed bishop sitting in the auditorium of the exclusive church in the middle.

The white-clothed bishop didn't talk nonsense, and took out a palm-sized metal box from his arms, and then took out a universal recorder with some damage on the surface, but the damage was decorated with precious metals.

Afterwards, the bishop in white respectfully picked up the universal recorder, placed it on the table of the Speaker of the National Assembly in the middle of the round table hall, and then made a very solemn prayer, reciting the prayer of the Lord of the Sky, and the members present Almost half of them are believers of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and they also prayed together when the bishop in white made the prayer gesture.

Just after a lengthy prayer was recited, light appeared on the damaged universal recorder, and these lights were projected into the air, forming some recorded images in the air of the round table hall.

I don't know if it's because of the photographer, or because the general-purpose recorder is damaged. The image looks a bit blurry, but it's still recognizable as a forest, and countless mutated monsters can be seen walking slowly in the forest. It looks like a group of mutated monsters that have already formed.

Although it is impossible to analyze how many mutated monsters there are, people like General Modsan who have been dealing with mutated monsters all year round can use experience to judge from the density, range and type of mutated monsters that this group of mutated monsters has at least There are more than 8,000 of them, and among them there should be several huge and extremely threatening mutant monsters of destruction level.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the number of mutated monsters exceeds 3,000, there will definitely be a destructive-level mutated monster bred in it. Ordinary city walls and conventional weapons cannot withstand the impact of this destructive-level mutated monster. Only special Weapons and superhumans can cause damage to this mutant monster, and most importantly, this mutant monster is no longer like those low-level mutant monsters that only instinctively kill. They seem to have some wisdom and know how to avoid dangerous attacks. Attack the weak point of the enemy.

Usually, the appearance of destructive mutant monsters often indicates that there will be a heavy casualty war, and there may even be a well-defended lower-level town destroyed by the attack of mutant monsters.

In the same way, if the number of mutated monsters reaches more than 6,000, and the number of destructive-level mutated monsters bred is no longer just one, then the risk factor of this mutated monster group will increase exponentially. Only big cities can resist such a group of mutated monsters, and small towns basically have no hope.

Even General Modsan, who has been on the front line all year round, has only seen a group of mutated monsters of this size in the image above the round table hall, and they were all seen in the area of ​​the mist disaster more than ten years ago. The year just ended, the era when mutated monsters proliferated crazily like weeds, and as time went by, the power that caused the creatures to mutate was also weakening, and such groups of more than 8,000 mutated monsters were rarely seen.

This is the voice of the middle-aged congressman sounded in the quiet round table hall, saying: "This is when the legion of the Dodd Group, the Kuishan Allied Forces, and the reinforcements we sent confronted each other in the capital of the Kuishan Allied Nations. A group of mutated monsters produced in the forest near the capital of the Allied Powers."

Hearing the words of the middle-aged congressman, General Modsan was not too surprised. In fact, before returning to the capital of the kingdom, he also discussed the farce war in the capital of the Kuishan Allies with his staff before returning to the capital of the kingdom. How to prevent the infiltration of the Dodd Group's spies and spies, and how to make yourself retreat when the allies rebelled, and also discussed a doubtful point, which is why there were no mutated monsters at that time.

There are a large number of scholars and experts who are engaged in the study of mutant monsters in the front-line legion dedicated to mutant monsters. Although they have not been able to find out the reason for the emergence of mutant monsters, they have already figured out some laws of the formation of mutant monster groups. According to their method analysis, it is basically possible to predict the location and time of the emergence of more than 90% of the mutated monster groups, so as to achieve early defense or early encirclement and suppression.

At the moment when the offensive and defensive battle of the capital of the Kuishan Allies appeared, the experts of the army had judged through their methods that there would definitely be a group of mutant monsters with a number of at least 5,000 near the capital. It was this prediction that made the leader at that time The general of the reserve support corps felt that he had a great chance of winning, and spent most of his time preparing fortifications against mutant monsters, and did not take precautions against other things at all.

In the end, the group of mutated monsters did not appear, and the defense of the capital of the Kuishan Allied Kingdom was easily breached due to the betrayal of the Kata tribe, and all the troops fell.

This matter naturally needs to be held accountable, and the group of experts who predicted the group of mutant monsters is also one of the objects of accountability, and they have repeatedly stated that based on their experience analysis, there is definitely a group of mutant monsters formed near the capital of the Kuishan Allies. As for why It didn't show up, and they didn't know what was going on.

Judging from the images above the round table hall, the experts who studied the mutated monsters did not appear. The group of mutated monsters really formed as they analyzed, and the scale was much larger than they predicted. If so A huge group of mutated monsters appeared outside the city walls of the capital of the Kuishan Allies, and the final battle situation will develop as they expected. The Dodd Group's army will be wiped out outside the city, and the army inside the city only needs to deal with it. The remaining group of mutated monsters will do.

"Why didn't these monsters show up?" General Modsan immediately asked one of the questions he asked the most these days.

"You'll find out if you keep reading." The middle-aged member replied.

After a moving image of a monster, the photographer of the image seemed to have discovered something, and shifted the shooting target to a hill, because the hill is made of schist, without any trees, only some weeds, bare, You can easily see the situation on the mountain.

At this moment, a man wearing an English-style short windbreaker was standing on the top of the hill. The image was a bit blurry, and the man's face could not be seen clearly. It could only be seen that his height was much taller than ordinary people.

The man stood on the top of the hill and looked at the group of mutant monsters moving slowly in the forest below, as if he was not afraid of the group of mutant monsters attacking him at all.

Then I saw the man suddenly raised his hand, and then a prismatic lightning like a spear appeared in his hand, a large amount of lightning shot out from the thunder gun and scattered around, forming a grid, enveloping the man in it.

The appearance of thunder and lightning also alarmed the group of mutant monsters below. At this time, the four destructive mutant monsters in the group of mutant monsters seemed to sense some danger, let out a roar, and rushed towards the people at the top of the hill in unison. past.

At the same time, the thunder gun formed in the man's hand also changed from silvery white at the beginning to golden, and then black again. This kind of black seems to have some unknown power, not only being able to dim the surrounding light All distorted and devoured, even those who saw these images would have the illusion that their souls were being pulled over.

When the thunder gun turned black, the man immediately threw the thunder gun towards the destructive mutant monster that was rushing to the front.

The hidden church recorder couldn't record the image projected by the thunder gun at all, because it was so fast that it was almost invisible. The only thing that could be seen was that the four destructive level mutant monsters instantly turned into ashes, and then Countless golden lightning bolts rushed out of their ashes, turning into countless chains of lightning and piercing through the group of mutated monsters behind. More than 8,000 mutated monsters were burnt into coke in these chains of lightning without any resistance. The forest where it was located was also instantly destroyed.

When the chain of lightning disappeared, the mutated monster group and the forest all disappeared, leaving only a thick layer of ash on the ground covered with unburned coke.

The image ended here, and the light projected in the air was retracted. The bishop in white put the universal recorder back into the box in silence. At this time, there was no sound in the round table hall. Others have watched this video for the second time, and some people even saw it for the third or fourth time, but the shock they felt was still not much different from the first time they watched it, a feeling that they were too small Thoughts form and grow in the mind.

After a long time, General Modsan suppressed the fear and shock in his heart, and then tried to keep his voice stable, and asked in a deep voice: "What is that?"

General Modsan actually wanted to ask who that person was, because he judged that the person should be an extraordinary person, and the lightning gun used by the other party should be some kind of extraordinary ability, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought In his memory, there has never been a transcendent who can possess such terrifying power. Obviously, what he did just now should not be something that humans can do, so he turned to ask what it was.

Although General Modsan tried his best to conceal his inner emotions, the congressmen who were working could still hear a tremor in his voice, a tremor caused by fear.

None of the people would laugh at him, because their current situation is not much better than that of General Modsang.

Facing General Modsan's question, the middle-aged councilor didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he was too immersed in the shock and didn't come back to his senses. On the contrary, it was the white-clad member of the Lord of the Sky Church who was an observer. The bishop replied, "His name is Leo Dodd, and he is the partner of Sylvia Belmont, the leader of the Dodd Group, and the father of Tolan Dodd, the president of the Dodd Group."

General Modsan quickly remembered the information about Leo Dodd. After the rise of the Dodd Group, the Kingdom of America had an intelligence collection department dedicated to the important figures of the Dodd Group. The source of the name of the German Group is naturally the focus of their attention, and the collected information is also very complete.

Not long ago, when Leo reappeared after disappearing for more than 20 years, General Modsan also participated in a related meeting to discuss what changes Leo's appearance would bring to the Dodd Group.

Although the participants all knew Leo's status as a wizard, they had already come into contact with a large number of extraordinary people and knew how powerful the extraordinary people were, so they didn't think that Leo's extraordinary power could improve the strength of the Dodd Group much. It was Leo's identity as another alchemist that became the focus of discussion among the participants. Everyone believed that Leo's appearance would help the Dodd Group to upgrade to one or more levels in terms of industry and pharmaceuticals.

However, now it seems that the original participants clearly seriously underestimated the effect of extraordinary power, which is simply subversive.

In this world now, as people come into more and more contact with supernatural beings and supernatural powers, the mysteries of supernatural beings have been lifted layer by layer. Most people, including many supernatural beings, believe that superhuman powers Some may be powerful, but they are not enough to change the situation in the world. In the past, those descriptions of miraculous power in legends are actually just exaggerated descriptions of the writers. In fact, those who were able to use extraordinary power in ancient times used extraordinary power They are not much better than the current people, and even those so-called evil gods are just some evil superhuman beings.

Although the whole world is still a world where mutated monsters are rampant, most people believe that with the continuous development of industrial technology, the power of those weapons will become more and more powerful, and eventually human beings will be able to regain the power from mutated creatures by virtue of industrial power. This world, and those who can wield extraordinary power, will also be subject to this industrial power.

This kind of industrial supremacy can be said to be the dominant ideology in the entire Velen world except the Ice and Snow Kingdom. More or less accepted this idea, and powerful military generals like General Modsan are even more staunch supporters of this idea.

However, the things that unfolded completely shattered this kind of thinking. They suddenly discovered that the powerful power that destroyed the world in the legends in the past actually existed. Under this power, let alone ordinary humans, even those Mutated monsters with great self-healing ability and various weird powers are also like ants.

General Modsan immediately thought of himself, of the two legions under him, an army of nearly 50,000 people, and thought of what it would be like if he faced Leo Dodd, and in his mind There was only one scene, which was the scene after everything was destroyed just now. He didn't think that more than 50,000 people would have any chance of surviving under such a terrifying force.

Thinking of this, General Modsan couldn't help swallowing dryly, and then asked in a low voice: "Is this still a human being?"

Although this question seems to be asking myself, it seems to be asking them in the ears of the people around me. No one can give the answer. In the end, the white-clothed bishop of the Lord of the Sky said: "No, he is already a demigod." gone."
