The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1901 Expeditionary Force in Action

In Leo's analysis, the second possible way to help him leave this world is Satoran's extraterrestrial object.

When Leo scanned the entire territory of Satoran, he indeed found a base built by hollowing out the mountain under the destroyed lighthouse at the top of Satoran City. In the base, there was a huge room containing a very Special interference power, this power is not powerful, but it has an extremely powerful interference effect on his mental network, causing his spiritual network to be unable to penetrate the house to scan the things inside, and at the same time, this interference power also has a negative effect on the laws of the world. Very strong interference, like an enhanced version of the Sanctuary of the Holy City of Salvation.

At that time, Leo didn't care, and thought it might be a pawn arranged by Sylvia before the disaster came to this world, but now it seems that this extraterrestrial object might be an accident of breaking into this world of disguise, and this accident also has its own meaning. It may contain clues and mysteries that can escape from this world, and the answer lies in its rejection and interference with the world's law of disguise.

From the information of Satoran, it is not difficult to see that the governments of various countries have already carried out research on this extraterrestrial object before the construction of Satoran. After the establishment of Satoran, the extraterrestrial object was transferred here, and a special The research base, and through previous research, it was found that this alien object has the ability to store data, so it is regarded as a guarantee for preserving the fire of civilization.

However, among all the materials recorded by Leo, there is no research data on this extraterrestrial object. It can be seen that the governments of various countries absolutely put this research in the top secret.

Although two feasible methods have been determined, Leo did not act immediately, but stayed where he was, because there is still a large amount of previously recorded data in the general recorder that has not been sorted out and absorbed into the brain database. Even though he knew that there was a problem with his thirst for knowledge, he still couldn't suppress this thirst, just like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder who needed to completely record all the recorded information into the brain database before he could do other things.

Although he can also do two things at the same time, sorting out the materials and exploring the research base at the same time, but this method of distraction may lead to imprecise exploration process, and finally draw incorrect conclusions, so he still chooses to first After the information is completely collected in the brain database, concentrate on exploring the underground base.

While Leo was collecting various data, the expeditionary force to recover Satoran had gathered at the other end of the vine canyon outside Satoran to discuss the next move.

"First send people to the opposite side to check the situation over there, and form a few more exploration teams to go to the bottom of the valley together to see the situation at the bottom of the valley, and by the way, check whether there are hidden dangers and whether it is suitable for the team to move forward." Mei Lin, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force After listening to the discussion opinions of all parties, Na gave her suggestion, saying: "As for the rest of the people, they all retreat to Musa City, 20 kilometers away, for repairs, and wait for the results here."

"Wait, Master Melina, why don't we repair it on the spot?" Someone questioned Melina's proposal, saying: "If there is any problem with the exploration team, we can support it."

"Back then, we were just as you thought, so we stationed near the abyss vines, but instead of providing any support, the expedition team was destroyed by the sudden pollution," Melina explained blankly. : "Although the mutated abyss vines here seem to have disappeared, I'm still not sure if there will be any accidents, so I have to prepare for the worst."

Hearing Melina's explanation, most of the high-level expeditionary forces in the tent nodded. Only a few people who didn't know about the expeditionary force back then still looked disapproving. These people were not taken seriously by Melina. , in Melina's heart, as long as they don't make trouble for her, there is no need to pay attention to them, but if they dare to make small moves in front of her, then no matter who is behind these senior generals, she will directly send them to the stake Pillars, let them become sacrifices to recover Satoran and retrieve the fire.

Although at this moment, Melina was acting very cautiously, but in fact, she already believed in her heart that the recovery plan had been successful, because the mutated abyss vines around Satoran had all disappeared when the First Legion served as the vanguard heard. , before there was only a circular Tianyuan Canyon left, she had already received all the news about Satoran from the holy city, because as early as when Leo left the holy city, the three female priests ordered to dispatch a precious The pre-disaster surveillance satellite monitored the movement of Satoran, and took some surveillance photos of the disappearance process when the mutated abyss vines disappeared.

It's a pity that these surveillance photos are too blurry to see exactly how the mutated abyss vines disappeared. We can only analyze from the figure of Leo who appeared on the surveillance photos afterwards that it is definitely related to the Savior.

Although it was already certain that the Savior had cleaned up all the vines of the abyss, Melina, who had experienced the failed expedition that year, still maintained a cautious attitude and made the most conservative but also the safest proposal.

After seeing that no one objected, everyone began to discuss how to form several teams for exploring the bottom of the canyon and checking the Satoran on the opposite side of the canyon. Just as the discussion began, Matilos, the commander of the First Army, stood up as a vanguard. , Volunteered and said: "Since our First Army is the Vanguard Army, the task of going to Satoran to investigate the situation is naturally given to our First Army to complete. I will personally form the most elite personnel and lead the team to the opposite Satoran investigates the situation."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although Matilos and his First Legion were already known for their bravery in the Redemption Army, they had experienced the most battles against heresy in the Redemption Army. It is indeed true that the First Legion formed a team to investigate Satoran. It couldn't be more suitable, but the problem is that Matilos has to lead the team himself, which is obviously a problem.

Even with the blessing of the Goddess of Victory, Matilos is very healthy and strong, but he is already in his seventies after all, and his overall physical fitness is completely incomparable with that of young fighters. It would be fine if he had a road to Satoran. But the problem is that now Satoran has been blocked by a bottomless Tianyuan Canyon separated by hundreds of meters. If you want to go to the past, you can only climb to the bottom of the canyon, then pass under the canyon, and then go through the cliff on the opposite side of the canyon. Just climb up.

Even a young and strong fighter would have difficulty passing through such extreme terrain safely, let alone an old man in his seventies? What's more, they still don't know whether the bottom of the canyon is safe or not. If Matilos and the others are attacked at the bottom of the canyon, no one will be able to save them. The morale of the entire expedition suffered a severe setback, which was not conducive to the implementation of subsequent expedition plans.

So after a moment of silence, everyone opposed Matilos' request to join the investigation team. Even if Matilos was extremely angry at his request being rejected and threatened everyone present without hesitation, no one changed his words.

Seeing such strong opposition from everyone, Matilos' momentum also weakened. Just when he felt that his wish to be the first to step into Satoran could not be realized, Melina, who was missing and did not speak, spoke in a low voice. Said: "I think it is very suitable for Master Matilos to lead the team. After all, he is one of the survivors back then. He is far more experienced than others in dealing with Satoran's unknown attitude. In addition, I I also believe that I will be more careful when I get to the other side, and I will not act recklessly."

With Melina's support, Matilos straightened his back again, while the other people in the tent glanced at each other and didn't say anything. Only a few people still said with a little doubt: "But Ma Lord Tylos' age and body..."

"Don't worry about this." Melina interrupted the other party's words, then rang the bell, let the attendant enter the tent, and then ordered to take a black box from her command tank. After the attendant left, it didn't take long He entered the tent with a black box that looked like a jewelry box.

Melina opened the box, took out a bracelet that looked like copper with complex patterns on the surface, handed it to Matilos, and said: "This is a bracelet made by the priestess of the Lantern Goddess, with the Lantern Goddess on it. Blessings, after wearing the bracelet, it will make your body have the vitality of youth, and it can speed up the self-healing speed after you are injured."

While speaking, Melina signaled Matilos to put on the bracelet.

After Matilos put it on, although he couldn't see any changes on the outside, he could clearly feel that his body became full of vitality. The old injuries and some injuries after getting old seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Normally, he can be sure that even if he does ten backflips and then lands in the splits in the air, he will have no problem.

Melina looked at Matilos with a look of surprise on his face, motioned for him to stretch out his arms, then pulled out the small dagger at his waist, and under the eyes of everyone, made a cut directly on Matilos' hand, and this Only a little blood came out of the opening, and it slowly healed in everyone's eyes. In less than four minutes, the wound disappeared completely. If it wasn't for the remaining blood near the wound, everyone might think that what they saw just now was just hallucinations.

The breathing in the tent stopped at this moment, but it recovered quickly, but the sound of breathing became a lot faster, which directly exposed everyone's emotions. Many people looked at Melina's black box, Because with a good eye, there seemed to be a few bracelets and other items in the sunspot.

Although in the past when the three priestesses and the priests performed various ceremonies, there were some divine visions, and those who received the blessings of the gods could also feel the changes in their bodies, but it is so intuitive to see the gods like now. It was the first time, and also the first time, they had seen this kind of item that could be called a divine weapon.

It's just that they don't know that this kind of artifact is actually just a semi-finished product made by the three priestesses in the process of learning to use their own power. When Leo was in the big library, he taught the three priestesses and Melina how to use the power in their bodies. Extraordinary strength.

Compared with the new power in Melina's body that originated from Sylvia, the lord of redemption, Leo is obviously more familiar with the so-called goddess power possessed by the three priestesses, so he is also teaching the three to use it. At the same time, they taught the three how to use their divine power to make strange objects.

During this process, even with Leo watching over them, most of the wonders made by the three ended in failure. Only a few times succeeded, but even if the production was successful, the effect was far better than Leo expected. The effect is much smaller.

However, Leo did not continue to assist the three of them in making strange objects, but let the three of them explore by themselves, because the basic method has been handed over to the three of them, and whether the three of them can make perfect strange objects depends on their own abilities Well, as for the semi-finished wonders made by the three of them, they were all taken by Melina.

These strange things may be some half-finished products in the eyes of Leo, but they are like artifacts on other ordinary people. Melina is also planning to use these strange things as rewards for the expeditionary army. As for taking them out now, it is only She just used Matilos as a bait. She believed that with Matilos as a bait to show the effectiveness of these strange things, other high-level expeditionary forces would spare no effort to show their abilities in front of her.

And now the performance of everyone in the tent also confirmed her speculation. They saw that Melina didn't take out any bracelets, but closed the box and let the attendant send it back to her special chariot. Feeling disappointed, several people couldn't help but want to ask Melina how to get that kind of bracelet, but before they could ask, Melina had already brought everyone's attention back to forming the canyon exploration team and Regarding the matter of Satoran's investigation team, he had no intention of answering the questions in everyone's mind.

After some discussions, in the end, the expeditionary force was responsible for the exploration of the bottom of the canyon by the Ninth and Eleventh Legion respectively forming seven hundred-man exploration troops. In addition to the latest protective clothing and weapons, their equipment will also arrange ascetic monks from the Order. , these ascetic monks may be far from being able to compare with these elite fighters in terms of combat, but they have extraordinary effects in resisting the puppet spores of the abyss vines and other mysterious forces.

As for the First Legion, a thousand-man brigade was formed, with equipment similar to that of the canyon bottom exploration force, except that Matilos was originally prepared to carry short-range small missiles developed by pre-disaster technology, because in this way he could use them when necessary. You can try to use this small missile to disintegrate Satoran's defense forces, so as to avoid being annihilated without resistance like last time.

But this decision was directly rejected by Melina. Melina knew very well that if he was allowed to carry short-range small missiles to Satoran, even if Satoran was recovered in the end, the spark of civilization stored in Satoran might be destroyed. It will no longer exist, so she would rather use the lives of the soldiers of the expeditionary army to fill this hole than directly launch a destructive attack on Satoran.
