Cataclysm King Chapter 357

Chapter 357 The War Sacrifice of the Silver Moon Sect

Ji Xun and Dong Qi were busy installing the instruments in the underground factory.

 On the other side, in the building of Dekai Machinery Company, the Luo family's dispute continued.

“Father, do you really believe those two guys of unknown origin?”

“They have a token given by the head of the family, so there is no need to doubt their identity.”

"But, even if they are members of the Song family, so what? With only two people coming, what can change the current situation? The moonshining gang has already sent people to rush us, let us go to the assembly point as soon as possible. Mother I used my connections to finally get a few tickets, but if I don't leave, I'll really have no chance.”

Rolton the Eight-Character Horseman is the head of the Luo family. He not only has to consider himself, but also the family and the mechanics.

 Listening to the anxious urging of his wife and children, his expression also showed some confusion.

Rolton can see the current situation of Tailong City clearly than most people.

"The garrison in the city is Marshal Lei Meng, who was once the 'Third Federal Mechanic'. There are also some people within the Lei family who are contacting our gang to smuggle out. If we catch a few of them, we will definitely be able to get some information for you. of"

 He has stood by his faith to the last moment and has a clear conscience.

 At least Rolton didn't see the possibility that these two people could change any situation of the Luo family.

He has actually asked through connections, and even Marshal Lei Meng, the commander-in-chief of the city, cannot guarantee that anyone can be sent away alive.

As she said this, she took her children and prepared to leave.

Some uncertainties in my heart become certain.

just in case

 In case anyone really makes it out alive.

Speaking of property, the lady with heavy makeup seemed to finally have a reason to leave: "Lao Luo, it's not that I can't trust your judgment, I can't trust the Song family. I won't die with those iron lumps and mechanics. You Since you insist on staying, I know I can't persuade you to take care of yourself.”

The lady didn't say anything, turned around and walked out the door.

 You can face life and death indifferently, but after all, you cannot see your children die like this.

Having received a summons from the Song family before, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

 The leader is none other than Kaibar, the commander of the seventh-level army.

 The Luo family can be considered to have a queen.

But what do they want to do when they go to the factory?

 What does it mean to gather all the mechanics together?

Rolton is very confused now.

 But family marriages are always about interests, and there is no deep feeling at all.

The boss of the moonshine gang with a venomous snake tattooed on his arm was telling the group of sergeants something while nodding and bowing.

Hearing this, the sergeants of this hundred-man squad all showed a sarcastic smile on their faces.

 As long as this person is here, it is impossible for anyone to escape.

Rolton sighed slightly and said in an extremely solemn tone: "Zheng'er, Luna, you have passed the adult ceremony and are at the age where you can make decisions for your own life. You can also see the current situation. If you really want To be honest, I also think that we have little chance of surviving this war. I can't dictate your fate and let you trust my judgment. But I still say that, as for you, I will stick to it until the end. , you can choose your own path.”

"Sir, a message has been sent over there. In another hour at most, a new batch of people will be sent over. This time they are all rich people in the city. They definitely have a lot of good things in their hands."

When Rolton said this, he seemed to have seen the fragmented future, and sighed: "I have divided the belongings at home and put them in the safe. You each have a share. No matter what you choose, I will not blame you. . If you can live, live well."

As he spoke, he looked at his children and his wife.

This was once a secret smuggling channel for the largest gang in Tyrone City, the "Moonlifting Gang", but now it has become a way for people to make money when smugglers leave the city.

Rolton looked at his wife and reminded her one last time: "I know your mother's family contacted the moonshining gang. But I want to remind you one last thing, be careful. Although I don't know what's going on over there, my intuition tells me For me, the road of smuggling is definitely not that easy. In the face of desperate situations, human nature is the most untrustworthy."

Although the younger daughter was reluctant to leave, she still followed her mother.

"Don't worry, I have asked the people caught here to report to the city that they escaped safely. And even if they are suspected, they have no choice. Those who are eligible to buy smuggling tickets now are all 'big fat' sheep'."

 But now the person arranging the response from Songjia has met.

 But when he turned to look at his anxious family, his eyes trembled.

 He knew that his wife had never liked him, and he also knew that she had several lovers.

 When the choice truly falls into their own hands, they don't know how to make a decision.

The young man in a suit watched his mother and sister leave, then glanced at his old father who stayed where he was. After all, he gritted his teeth and stayed where he was: "I'll accompany my father!"

If Ji Xun were here, he would definitely recognize this as the elite of the Tenth Legion of Iris.

Thinking that there may be some unexpected arrangements.

 They are just two young people, and the difference is a bit different from what was expected.

 At this moment, a group of people were guarding the exit.

 On the other side, in a valley outside Tyrone City.

 After all, he and his father's generation had personally experienced the turbulent tactics of the Song family's grandma.

 There is an outlet for an underground river here.

At this statement, the three people in the room immediately fell into silence, with struggling eyes flashing in their eyes.

 After all, I have such a pair of children that I can't let go of.

The purpose of war to a large extent is plunder.

 Whether it is in the Eastern Wasteland or the Southern Continent, resources are concentrated in the hands of the top elites.

What method of robbery can be done faster than waiting here and letting the powerful people with all their wealth throw themselves into the trap?

During the days of lockdown, they have already seen a lot of "big fish" here.

Ji Xun and Dong Qi spent several hours packing up all the mechanical equipment in the factory and stuffing it into the oil painting.

 When I came out, I went to Dekai Company again and found that the only ones left were the Luo family and his son.

 Not much to say.

  Only talked about some of his own arrangements.

Ji Xun actually guessed the situation of the Luo family before he came.

 If possible, he would like to take everyone out.

  After all, this is the industry left by Song Yu.

However, it is beyond our capabilities.

Ji Xun's plan is to use the catastrophic object [Monet's Sunrise] to send people out of the city.

 The biggest problem is that there is no restriction on how this relic can contain dead objects such as instruments.

Like a compressed file, it can be filled to the max.

 But to pretend to be a living person, you need to constantly inject magic power and maintain a complete space barrier so as not to exclude people.

 The more you install, the more energy you need to consume and the shorter the time it can last.

Ji Xun has tested and estimated before that his current ability can take away at most a few hundred people, and it won't last long.

  But this is the best result.

 That's why he didn't tell the Luo family about his plan before.

 Because we know that we cannot take everyone with us, and there will inevitably be conflicts.

And once the plan is announced in advance, the risk of leakage will be unpredictable.

 If we don't say it now, someone will choose to leave.

 Only those who truly choose to believe in the Song family will stay.

Ji Xun originally only planned to take away those who believed in him.

And he didn't feel that if he was with him, he would definitely be able to survive.

Tailong Mechanical City has been blocked by the army now. It is not difficult for Ji Xun and the others to enter the city, but it is basically impossible to get out.

The only chance is to wait until the war starts and take advantage of the chaos to get out.

 If a war breaks out, the people who lead the Luo family will tie everyone's lives to themselves.

 When he dies, everyone must die.

 There is no need to involve the cause and effect of people who do not trust you.

The main goal of coming to Tailong Machinery this time is the equipment and mechanics.

Now that things are done, Ji Xun and Dong Qi also look relaxed.

 The two of them were walking down the street wearing gas masks, chatting as they walked.

Dong Qi looked very excited after receiving a batch of state-of-the-art equipment.

 But after getting excited, she looked at the various residents on the street and suddenly asked: "Ji Xun, who do you think will win this war?"

"Hard to say."

Ji Xun saw more in his eyes.

He saw the panic in the city like a spreading plague, and also saw the severed ends of countless fate lines.

 After pondering for a moment, he said: "There is a high probability that both sides will lose."

Dong Qi: “Both sides will suffer?”

Ji Xun: "Yeah."

 The combat power of both sides has almost been made clear, and the combat power assembled on the southern continent has an overwhelming advantage. No matter how many times he deduced, Ji Xun never saw any possibility of Donghuang's victory.

However, the Oran Royal Court added a "variable" to Ji Xun's deduction.

 After returning from the Rune Highlands last time, Ji Xun gained a new understanding of the heritage of the Augustus family.

Although they are from a down-and-out royal family, they were inherited from the glorious Talen Empire three years ago.

 Just a little bit of information is not a mysterious trump card that ordinary people can touch.

 For example: Titan Armor.

If the new king of Oran didn't want the throne he had just secured to collapse, he would definitely not let this decisive battle, which would determine the course of the war for a long time to come, end miserably.

 So there must be some arrangements that outsiders don't know about.

However, based on the information Ji Xun currently knows, he can't think of any possibility of a comeback.

 It is just an intuition to come up with a “lose-lose” result.

 But it was this uncertainty that made Ji Xun full of interest in this battle.

Dong Qi frowned when he heard Ji Xun's analysis, "Yeah. It's really bad. I don't know what's going on with Aunt Qin."

Ji Xun doesn't know either.

 The two of them walked aimlessly on the street.

 Tailong City is an old city with a history of thousands of years.

 There are traces of ancient magic in the city, and the industrial style of steel and steam is also everywhere.

Dim yellow gas lamps illuminate the neighborhood, Gothic-style spire houses stand on the streets and alleys, and the steam pipes on the walls are as dense as ivy.

 Steam rail trains shuttled through the city, their wheels making a harsh hissing sound as they rubbed against the cold, hard metal rails.

The diffuse smoke is like the smoke of war, always hanging over the city, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling of being foggy and unable to see the future.

 In Ji Xun's eyes, the whole city was filled with a flood of negative emotions.

 But this is a good thing for him.

The clown mask can absorb these negative emotions and help him improve his understanding of various laws.

Although individual emotions are as subtle as dust.

 But when millions of people gathered together, it was like a sandstorm, overwhelming the sky.

 The closer we get to the edge of the decisive battle, the more intense this negative emotion becomes.

Ji Xun felt like he was in a very mysterious state at this moment.

  It's a bit like the temporary enlightenment blessing that was in the Shenxu treasury.

 He enjoyed the feeling of his thoughts being immersed in ice water, clear and efficient.

 Let him feel the existence of the laws of the universe more clearly than anywhere else.

If he could practice in this kind of environment, he felt that even the most difficult "laws of space" would be within reach.

Now it seems that the ability of the [Crown of Thorns], one of the four sacred instruments of royal power, to gather the laws of fear, seems to be something similar to a "promotion ritual".

 This allowed the new King Arthur to advance to the seventh level quickly.

 Other cities can surrender and become slaves, but it is absolutely impossible for people from the southern continent to leave Tailong City, the largest mechanical city in the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland.

The only good news is that now the people in the city know that they are going to massacre the city, and most of them have the consciousness to fight to the death.

 The city is now in a state of war preparation.

 Official recruiting posts can be seen everywhere on the streets.

 Residents, young and old, can sign up to participate in the war and receive their own combat equipment.

 Most of them are mechanical exoskeletons and guns.

Although the dragon-born card divisions in the southern continent have very strong individual combat capabilities, mechanical capabilities can minimize this gap.

 Bullets fired from a gun in the hands of a young child are no different from those fired from an adult's hand.

Originally, he was just wandering around, but while walking, Ji Xun suddenly stopped.

 Because he saw the "moon and cross star" military flag flapping in the wind at the largest intersection in the neighborhood.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun looked very familiar with this logo. Isn't this the logo of the Moon Cross Legion of the Talon Dynasty?

 Have seen it before.

It was in the prison of the upper state, and Arthur summoned the armors of the undead knights who had protected the Talon Dynasty.

This army is special.

 Because, it is not only the most powerful legion of the Talon Dynasty.

 They are still the direct troops of Queen Silver Moon.

 “Silver Moon Sect?”

 Seeing those military flags, Ji Xun suddenly discovered a bright spot in his mind.

The person who used the Silver Moon Secret Technique to attack me in Innocence City before was probably Princess Betty.

By coincidence, Ji Xun was one of the few people who knew that she had come into contact with the tomb of Queen Silver Moon three thousand years ago in the Mausoleum of Augustus.

Ji Xun himself has worked as an undercover agent in the Silver Moon Sect, so he is no stranger to those sect's methods.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind that made him take a breath of cold air: "No. Are the Silver Moon Sect planning to bring about the coming of the old gods again?"

In the Shenxu Treasure House, Jia Yu's killer move forced the Silver Moon Sect to create a "Silver Moon Sacred Tree".

Ji Xun also talked about this when he chatted with the mushroom head later, guessing that it should be some kind of coming ceremony of the old god.

 It was just frustrated at the time.

 All the previous preparations of the sect were in vain.

Ji Xun has read the "Silver Moon Secret Code" thoroughly and knows that the coming of the old gods requires enough "spiritual mediums" and carriers.

At first glance, Princess Betty may be the divine body chosen by Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasure".

 But advent requires a large number of mediums.

This thing is hard to find anywhere else.

 But right now, there are a lot of them.

 Humans, highly intelligent creatures, are one of the best sources of blood media.

If you want to raise blood media, is there any way that can be done faster than a super-large war?

Thoughts flashed frequently, Ji Xun thought along the train of thought, and thought to himself: "The people of the Hissing Silver Moon Sect are going to sacrifice people from this war to be blood matchmakers?"

 It's really possible!

 Coming to a conclusion, and then deducing it in reverse, he felt that he was probably very close to reality.

If it were just the plan of the Oran Royal Court, people in the Southern Continent might not be fooled.

 In other words, Princess Betty must have arranged some means in the Southern Continent Legion.

“Those people in the Oran Royal Court are really ready to cause trouble.”

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes seemed to have seen a big drama about to be staged.

 Few people now know that there is a problem with Princess Betty's identity, and this plan is extremely feasible.

 Moreover, even if Ji Xun guessed it, he could not stop it.

 The army of the Southern Continent has already gathered outside the city, and it is impossible to suspend the war just because of some rumors.

Ji Xun, one of the few insiders, could not stop it and had no reason to sabotage the plan.

 After all, comparing the two evils, the threat of the Silver Moon Sect is much lower than the invasion of the Southern Continent.

 “The old gods are coming?”

I don't know why, but thinking of this, Ji Xun felt an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

Since the arrival of the Moon God is something that cannot be changed, the thoughts in his mind will automatically extend in directions that are beneficial to him.

 The previous plan was that Ji Xun would find opportunities to send people and equipment out, and he might encounter some small-scale pursuits.

 With Qin Rushi and Dong Qi as two strong teammates, the three of them can definitely reap a lot of benefits.

 But now that I have guessed this, the plan is different.

Since the Oran royal family dares to do this, it seems that they have abandoned the millions of people in Tailong City.

 Accordingly, they must be sure that after the arrival of the Moon God, they can solve or at least severely damage the 400,000-strong army in the southern continent.

This outcome is probably something no one could have expected.

 The wheels of war are already turning, and no human force can stop them.

 Ke Jixun's career sequence is different from others.

 He can absorb divinity and blood media.

 Instinct told him that the arrival of the Moon God this time was a fatal crisis, or it might be a great opportunity for him.
