Chapter 168 Final Date (3.5k)

"The device has been assembled and is waiting to be connected to the Leyline Tower."

They lit the lighting on the ground, then placed the heavy neutralization core on the ground with the support of the structure and assembled it.

It doesn't matter where the Neutralization Core is, but the important thing is to connect the Leyline Tower to the Neutralization Core, and then use the Leyline Tower's control function to detonate everything nearby.

After entering the inner city, they quickly eliminated the remaining guards here. Most of them were civil servants. Although they also had swords and sabers, they were still slightly inferior in front of the giant structure... unable to stop them even half a step.

They took over the defense of the inner city, and their eyes fell on the various mechanical creations that began to come towards the inner city. Most of them were small mechanical creations, and the large creations were still lying down. In terms of condition, getting started is a compliment to their maintenance skills. I'm afraid it will take a while even to replace parts.

"We've been coming in with such fanfare for so long, are they finally ready to concentrate their forces against us?"

Wang Qing told them a cold joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"It seems they are not complete idiots."

They had a rare chance to breathe. Everyone checked and replaced their spare parts during this free time. The attack was by no means without cost. In ancient times, one person was required to lead three horses in alternating rotations to achieve a rapid march. Even the mechanized troops in the 21st century have an indicator of breakdown rate every time they go through a long march. This is limited by the damage caused by overheating between mechanical parts. Increased fatigue.

Non-combat losses are just that.

If you want to talk about a vehicle with low maintenance requirements, long range, and high mobility...then maybe only a pickup truck can meet the above requirements.

Fortunately, or the strengthening of the ground line was really terrifying, only four of the 500 units broke down during the 500-kilometer rapid march, and they arrived at the imperial city with an extremely astonishing number.

I also saw the towering central Leyline Tower. After thousands of years of expansion, it can truly be called a wonder. There are countless buildings around it that were later expanded and dotted around to protect it.

This is not only a general leyline tower that controls the state where the imperial city is located, but also the most important place of worship in this land. At the beginning of a thousand-year inheritance, there are many celebrations surrounding it every year.

Many of them came to Leyline Tower before because they were invited to participate in the national-level celebration. Momen, a sect that created unprecedented prosperity, is naturally indispensable in this celebration. At the celebration, visitors will also take out the mechanical beasts developed by each company and perform them in the martial arts arena for everyone.

Now they are here again, relying on this ancient tower to open the door to the new world for this land.

"There is a lockdown, not an ordinary lockdown."

Gui Yu stretched out her hand and pressed it in front of the tower. The flow of light surged, blocking her from gaining control. As the maker of the neutralization device, no one was as familiar with the neutralization device as she was with the ley line device.

She is the best choice.

"It may take a long time to analyze the structure. The best way is to catch the emperor himself. He must know."

The dozen mechanical magicians surrounding the Earth Vein Tower became excited.

They were going to blow up the earth of this world. Since they had committed a serious crime, it would be very interesting to arrest the emperor and bring him back. As for such things as awe... they had disappeared the moment they set out.

The so-called emperor is a self-proclaimed name, and the earth veins are the true creations of heaven and earth.

They are not even afraid of the real thing, so how can they worry about the fake thing.

The machine magicians and star pulse magicians heard the sound of the machine twisting behind them, shadows were cast, and then a bright yellow figure was placed on the ground.

"Are you talking about this person?"

Ji Lin coughed twice and controlled the machine beast to raise his hand and throw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe to the ground.

Investigating the emperor's residence is naturally what he needs to do. He has gained experience in this kind of trivial matter from countless novels and animations. The royal family always likes to keep this kind of thing to themselves.

Therefore, we must be the first to catch the emperor to avoid more trouble in the future.

There seems to be a very powerful swordsman guarding him beside him. He is so powerful that he can even cut the external structure of the machine beast that has been strengthened by the earth's veins. Then, the shock device deployed by the giant structure/machine beast interferes with the movement and slows down. He came down and was slapped to death.

Without an emperor, there would naturally be chaos in the various places where the kings were crowned.

War will use up energy faster.

Ji Lin covered his nose, and a trace of bright red blood flowed out, dripping on the panel where he was connected to the machine beast's nerves.

He had never thought about going back alive. His physical condition could last until the neutralization device was activated.

Gui Yu also said that he has a strong learning ability, but during this period, he only left himself six hours of rest time every day, so that he could barely control the giant structure to move. I hope that hard work can make up for his weakness.

"You are...rebelling! But you can't succeed. With these machines in your hands, there are millions of troops waiting for him. If you give up now, I will only kill the first culprit. Anyone who surrenders will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."

The emperor shook his head and looked at them with gritted teeth. Although he had fallen into the hands of the rebels, he still had to say something.

He was right. Even if the mortal army relied on flesh and blood, it could pile up enough structures to kill them, not to mention that various small mechanical structures could also assist in combat capabilities. When this meat-eating and blood-drinking monster mobilized its minions, all their resistance power seemed to be weakened, and there was a huge difference in the use of resources.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the huge device placed behind these dozen people, and remembered what his intelligence chief had told him about the possibility of neutralizing the device if the earth line disappeared. What he thought of at that time was another way to deal with political opponents. , a weapon to eradicate dissidents.

"You, you want to destroy the leylines of this capital! Do you know what crime you are committing!"

He stood up from the ground angrily. The first thing he thought of was that the capital city that obeyed his orders the most would lose its former glory, and its earth lines would be destroyed... What else could they do? Their power is based on the prosperity of the machine arts created by the earth's veins!

He could not imagine whether the governors and princes in various places would have different ideas.

He doesn't want to die yet, he wants to save his life and have the possibility of making a comeback after leaving the capital.

"You are trying to bring chaos to the world."

he accused.

However, when the mechanical magicians looked at the emperor's manic appearance, they all calmed down and stared at the aloof emperor. At this time, they only felt absurd.

This calmness made him feel even more panicked and anxious.

A crossbow bolt nailed to his side interrupted the emperor's open mouth, and he turned around with difficulty.

"Open the door."

Ji Lin jumped down from the structure, holding a light crossbow in his hand.

"I guarantee on my honor that you will walk out of here alive today."

He had other uses for keeping the emperor, so there was no need to kill him so early.

In the end, the emperor is more afraid of death than the capital. He is not the kind of emperor who is extremely tough-talking, but he saves a little effort... How can such an emperor appear in this kind of world?

Today's party has shown its loyalty.

Ji Lin will not let this group of mechanical magicians who have refined their embryos die here like this. Ji Lin is greedy. He will not only let these people come, but also let these people go.

Techniques can be learned, so can combat abilities, but will can only be forged with the molten fire of life and death.

The last task Ji Lin left for himself was to let them evacuate. Each of them was an extremely precious seed, a seed with thoughts and will.

After the neutralization device is installed, the resonance waves generated by the three leyline cores will infinitely expand and destroy the leyline's influence.

Everyone gathered in the ancient pagoda for a rare moment, looking at the high concentration of earth energy that could be observed with the naked eye at a very close distance, which was dark blue and mixed with starlight.

Ji Lin looked at them and smiled.

"What, aren't you going to say something?"

The attack outside had been briefly repelled, and they did not dare to act rashly... This was mainly the reason why Ji Lin tied up the emperor and hung it on the machine beast to show everyone. If they really attack, they are not afraid of the emperor's death. If the emperor dies, they will not be blamed. If the emperor does not die, then they will suffer.

This gave them some breathing space to communicate.

Wang Qing stood up and looked at the wooden button specially set aside in front of the Zhonghe Tower. He raised his voice and said loudly.

"The Mohist family's fifteen hundred years of inheritance are nothing compared to the common people in the world. From now on, just do your best."

Wang Qing put his hand on the button, and then ten palms and twenty palms overlapped until there were no more hands stacked on the button, and they put their hands on the shoulders of his colleagues.

They all focused on Ji Lin. Ji Lin smiled and put his hand on the top. Gui Yu put his hand on Ji Lin's shoulder because he was not tall enough to reach it.

Press the button.

At the same time, the veins hidden deep in the earth were churning and rolling, and the observer locked on the last possibility, magnified it, and erased all instability.

The observer erases all instability, completely limits the possibilities, and supports the decision-making of the executor.

Just to create a future with unlimited possibilities.

The ley lines need to accumulate energy, which will take a while.

Ji Lin threatened the emperor and the various high officials who were still in the inner city, and let Wang Qing leave on the condition that they concentrate all the troops on the west side.

"There is an old saying in my hometown, which is that it is easier to die first and harder to die later. I sacrificed my life so generously and became a martyr, but those of you who left me will still have to live a hard life. Okay, don't cry. I don't have long to live. "

Ji Lin smiled at them. They had never seen the gentleman who taught them smile so happily.

They were already determined to die, but now only ten people had died, which was already considered a very satisfying victory.

"Don't look at how easy this raid was. There will be hard times ahead. Remember what I said, work in groups of three and pull with high maneuverability... Remember, water can carry a boat or capsize it."

Ji Lin said nonchalantly, then turned to look at Gui Yu who was standing beside him. She seemed not to have changed much from when he saw her, but she seemed to have changed a lot.

"Gui Yu...Thank you for teaching me the art of mechanism...Aren't you leaving?"

She stared at Ji Lin calmly. This was the first time that the other party called her by her name.

What about you?

Ji Lin didn't say anything. He voluntarily stayed here to stop the aftermath.

"I won't leave."

Gui Yu shook his head and replied to Ji Lin. His gray hair swayed and he looked away slightly.

"The data generated by the large-scale destruction of the earth's veins will definitely allow us to break through our understanding of the earth's veins, and perhaps we can obtain the 'unified power' that you told me before. Only I can collect it here. I will use this The information is recorded and sent to those who come later.”

The best way to get it... is to put herself into the ley line, and she will definitely die.

This data was collected at the cost of one's life. No one knew how long it would take for the earth vein to re-form. This was precious data that could only be obtained once in tens of thousands of years. After all, no one would actively detonate the earth vein of a planet just to complete the experiment.

It was terrible to die.

She was not afraid if someone was with her.

She approached Ji Lin step by step. Everyone left. Now there were only two of them in this huge square.

Reach out and hug.

Ji Lin was at a loss and let her hold him until she lowered her head and turned around and ran back to the earth vein tower.

Ji Lin looked up. The horizon in the distance had scattered a little white light. The bright yellow disk could not be seen yet, but the night as thick as thick ink had faded. The faint starlight in the night sky seemed to be eclipsed under the sun.

The sky was about to dawn.

At the hour of Mao, a beam of light shot up into the sky. Everyone saw the long blue line connecting the sky and the earth, hitting the sky directly. The planetary pulsation broke out of the ground and returned new vitality to this land.

That, however, is another story.
