Cataclysm King - #357 - Chapter 357 Silver Moon Sect’s War Sacrifice

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 doubt about 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 bearded man, 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 sees the current situation of Tailong City clearly than most people.

He had actually asked through his connections, and even Marshal Lei Meng, the commander-in-chief of the city, could not guarantee that he could send anyone away alive.

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

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

Thinking there might be some unexpected arrangements.

But now the person who arranged the reception in Songjia has met.

Some of the uncertainties in my heart became certain.

It’s just two young people, and the difference is a bit bigger than expected.

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

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

What does it mean to gather all the mechanics?

Rolton is very confused now.

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

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

You can face life and death indifferently, but after all, you can’t see your children dying like this.

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.”

As soon as he said this, the three people in the room fell into silence, their eyes flashing with struggle.

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

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.

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

But family marriages are always about profit, and there is no deep relationship at all.

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

just in case

In case anyone actually makes it out alive.

The Luo family is considered to have a queen.

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. Take care of yourself.”

With that said, she took her children and prepared to leave.

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

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 to sneak across is definitely not that easy. In the face of desperate situations, human nature is the most untrustworthy.”

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

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

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

There is an outlet for an underground river here.

This was once a secret smuggling channel for the largest gang in Tyrone City, the Moonshinering Gang, but now it has become a way for stowaways to make money out of the city.

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

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

“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.”

“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 illegal immigration tickets now are all ‘big fat’ sheep’.”

“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”

“.”

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

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

The leader is none other than the seventh-level legion commander Kaibar.

With this person here, it is impossible for anyone to escape.

The purpose of war is largely to plunder.

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

What other way to rob could be faster than waiting here and letting the rich and powerful with all their wealth throw themselves into the trap?

During the days of lockdown, they have already caught a lot of “big fish” here.

It took Ji Xun and Dong Qi several hours to pack up all the machinery and equipment in the factory and stuff them 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.

I just talked about some of my arrangements.

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

If possible, he would like to take everyone out.

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

However, it’s too much.

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 are no restrictions on how this relic can contain dead objects such as equipment.

Like a compressed file, it can be filled up.

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.

It’s because we know that if we can’t take everyone with us, 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.

Now Tailong Machinery City has been blocked by the army. 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 really breaks out, leading 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 don’t 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 wore gas masks and walked down the street, 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 heads of countless fate lines.

After pondering for a moment, he said: “There is a high probability that both sides will suffer.”

Dong Qi: “Both sides will suffer?”

Ji Xun: “Yeah.”

The combat power of both sides is almost obvious, and the combat power assembled on the southern continent has an overwhelming advantage.

No matter how many times he deduced the situation, Ji Xun never saw any possibility of Donghuang’s side winning.

However, the Oran Royal Court added a “variable” to Ji Xun’s deduction.

After returning from the Rune Highlands last time, Ji Xun had a new understanding of the Augustus clan’s heritage.

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

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 that would determine the future of the war for a long time end in a disastrous defeat.

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

However, based on the information Ji Xun knew so far, he could not imagine any possibility of a comeback.

Coming to a “lose-lose” result is just intuition.

But it was this uncertainty that made Ji Xun very interested 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, as well as the industrial atmosphere of steel and steam.

Dim yellow gas lights 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.

The steam trains shuttled through the city, their wheels making a harsh hissing sound as they rubbed against the cold 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 to the edge of the decisive battle, the stronger this negative emotion becomes.

At this moment, Ji Xun felt like he was in a very mysterious state all the time.

It’s a bit like the temporary enlightenment blessing that was originally 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 understanding 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 weapons 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 quickly advance to the seventh level.

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 are willing to fight to the death.

The city is now in a state of war preparation.

Official recruiting posts can be seen all over the streets.

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

Most of them are mechanical exoskeletons and guns.

Although the Dragonborn Card Masters in the Southern Continent are very powerful individually, machines can minimize this gap.

Bullets fired from a gun in a child’s hand 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 at the largest intersection in the neighborhood, he saw the “Moon and Cross Star” military flag flapping in the wind.

“Huh?”

Ji Xun looked very familiar with this logo. Isn’t this the logo of the Tarun Dynasty’s Moon Cross Legion?

Saw it before.

It was in the Shangbang Prison, and Arthur summoned the armors of the undead knights who had protected the Taron Dynasty.

This legion 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 him in Innocence City was probably Princess Betty.

And coincidentally, 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 had worked as an undercover agent in the Silver Moon Sect, and he was no stranger to those sect’s methods.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind that made him take a breath of cold air: “No. The Silver Moon Sect is planning to do something about the coming of the old gods again, right?”

Previously at the Shenxu Treasure House, Jia Yu’s killer move forced the Silver Moon Sect to create a “Silver Moon Sacred Tree”.

Later, Ji Xun also talked about this when chatting with the mushroom head, 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.

Now it seems that Princess Betty may be the divine body chosen by Arachne, the “Lord of Dreams and Pleasure”.

But advent also requires a large number of mediums.

This thing is hard to find anywhere else.

But right now, there are plenty of them.

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

Is there any way to raise blood media 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!

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

If it were just the Oran Royal Court’s plan, 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 prepared to cause trouble.”

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

Now few people know that there is a problem with Princess Betty’s identity, so this plan is extremely feasible.

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

The southern continent’s army has already gathered outside the city, and it is impossible to suspend the war just because of some rumors.

And Ji Xun, one of the few insiders, could not stop it and had no reason to sabotage this 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 arrival of the old gods?”

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 was something that could not be changed, the thoughts in his mind automatically extended in directions that were 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 two strong teammates, Qin Rushi and Dong Qi, 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.

Correspondingly, they must be confident 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 ending is probably something no one could have expected.

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

But Ji Xun’s career sequence is different from others.

He can absorb divinity and blood media.

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