The Marfa royal family has no plans to make the news of the plane invasion public yet.
The people from the Marfa Intelligence Department received information about a battle on the outskirts of Capitron, and they also speculated that the mage group from the plane of gods was moving. They sent the elite to deal with it secretly, but unexpectedly they met Su Lun as soon as they arrived.
Dora looked at the hateful guy who was still feasting, the bright light in his eyes disappeared, he pursed his lips, turned around and said to the communicator: "Let's go, close the team."
With that said, she walked directly towards the machinery market.
For a moment, several passers-by pretenders who were still browsing the stalls also left together.
One of the handsome men who looked similar to Dora quickly followed him and asked a series of questions in confusion: "Dora, are we leaving now? Did you find any clues? The person who just talked to you
Who is that person?"
"It's basically clear. For the rest of the work, just leave a group of people to check out the scene."
Dora replied, then looked at the young man again and corrected: "Also, when performing official duties, please address me by my military rank. Do you understand, Your Majesty Major?"
"I understand, Your Excellency, Colonel!"
The handsome man also looked helpless.
But he seemed to have thought of something, frowned and thought again: "But why did I feel that the guy just now looked familiar? He seemed to be some big pirate? Oh, I didn't say that your friend was a pirate, it's just that
You didn’t know that after you were kidnapped by the Dawn Pirate Group before, I almost memorized the members of the Dawn Group on the wanted poster."
When he thought about it, most of the people who could talk happily with his sister were some kind of friends and acquaintances, so naturally they couldn't be some dirty pirates.
Unexpectedly, when Dora heard this, she responded with an idiotic expression: "Haha, if you can talk with a smile, you must be a friend?"
The handsome man was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the underlying meaning of his sister's words, "Ah, isn't it?"
Dora rolled her eyes and asked, "You just realized it, didn't you?"
She complained mercilessly: "Oh, you are so alert. I was kidnapped before. If I really expected my idiot brother to rescue me, I would have been kidnapped a long time ago."
"."
After being complained about a lot, the handsome man didn't feel embarrassed at all, but had already become accustomed to it.
But he thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly became serious, with a hint of offended anger, and he said: "That guy kidnapped Dora, and he dared to show up at Capitron? Humph, I'll give him some
lesson!"
Dora waved her hands, her tone was as love-struck as ever, and she said sideways, "Just you? Let's forget it. If that person really wants to take action, you can only add an extra ransom to the family. Without general-level combat power, there is no way
I hope I can catch him."
Handsome man: "So powerful?"
"."
Dora rolled her eyes and had no intention of explaining any more.
The group of people walked down the market and got on their respective motorcycles.
At this time, the adjutant brought over a box and said, "Sir, these are the rare metals and blueprints I just bought in the market."
"Um."
Dora took the box expressionlessly and got into the specially modified closed carriage.
When the surroundings were isolated, her previously relaxed expression suddenly faded, and her rationality became as cold as a machine.
Recalling the encounter with Su Lun just now, she thought of something: "That guy seemed to have discovered something."
As she said this, she seemed to be asking and answering herself: "Haha, he is a very interesting person."
At this time, Dora opened the box in her hand again and took out a piece of shiny metal. As if looking at a satisfying meal, she murmured: "Zabiel alloy? What a good thing. It looks like it belongs to the mountain dwarf tribe.
It flowed out over there."
While she was talking to herself, the piece of metal melted into molten metal in her hands, and then was absorbed bit by bit and disappeared.
The locomotive sped away.
Dora in the carriage didn't know what she was thinking of, and there was also a hint of confusion in her mechanically cold eyes.
The next day, the weather was fine.
Last night, Su Lun killed the two intruders from the god plane, and when he learned that the [Ouroboros Circle] was the totem of a mountain dwarf tribe, he planned to take a look for himself.
However, the terrain of the Warcraft Mountains is complex, and it is said that there are eighth- and ninth-level Warcraft hidden in the depths. The risk of spatial displacement is very high. And although there is a map, it is not accurate. The best option is to find someone who is familiar with the route in that direction.
The adventure group followed.
Before noon, Su Lun and No. 19 rode motorcycles and arrived at the adventurer camp, Wangjin Post, two hundred kilometers away from Kabitron.
But I didn't expect that when I came here, I found that the town was almost overcrowded.
Twenty or thirty large adventure groups are ready to go to the steam castle. Tens of thousands of adventurers are crowded in the town, and the crowd is buzzing. There are also a steady stream of adventurers coming from all directions.
People are wearing adventure equipment and carrying various field combat supplies on their mechanical exoskeletons. Firearms, ammunition and boxes of supplies are being continuously transported up to the mechanical castles of major adventure groups.
"Oh, Galen, don't be stupid, go to the mercenary union quickly, there is a large-scale land reclamation mission! Every day if you don't do anything, you will get three thousand crowns. If the battle is distributed according to the battle standard, the harvest distribution ratio is the same as what I have been doing in the past few years.
The highest employment mission I have ever seen. I estimate that after this trip, I will earn at least hundreds of thousands!"
"Where are you going to open up wasteland for such a high bounty?"
"Go to the Giant Mountain. It was organized by Vice President Boer of the Adventure Union. It is said that the financial backer is the big boss of a certain mining group. Anyway, as long as there is no shortage of money."
"Oh, I remember that the mountains seemed to be the territory of mountain dwarves? Those dwarfs don't like to deal with humans, and they are not very friendly."
"Whatever. This time, with Vice President Bol leading the charge, there will be at least dozens of large adventure groups participating. It's time for those treasures that the dwarves have hidden in the cave to come out and see the light of day."
"."
As Su Lun and No. 19 walked along, they frequently heard adventurers talking about the well-paying employment mission of the mercenary union.
Others didn't know why someone suddenly wanted to open up that mountainous area, but Su Lun knew very well that those guys from the Celestial Clan must be behind it.
Moreover, he also guessed why there was such a big commotion.
Judging from the military intelligence previously obtained from the Moses family, the fighting power of the mountain dwarves is not weak.
There are more than a dozen dwarf tribes active near the Titan Mountain, including an unknown number of mountain dwarves.
These dwarves are said to be the descendants of mythical dwarves. They have divine power and are good at forging various magic equipment. Their combat prowess cannot be underestimated.
The people currently in Capitron in the God Plane are only the seventh-level "Hundred-Man Group" in the intelligence.
They simply don't have the ability to eat that dwarf tribe by force.
But if they want to find the [Ouroboros Circle] as soon as possible, the best option is to spend some money to recruit adventurers to go to the mine.
Anyway, this alchemy plane is already their hunting ground in the eyes of those in the plane of gods. In the end, the money is in their own pockets, and it doesn't matter how high the hiring price is.
The Warcraft Mountains have always been the most important source of resources for Marfa. Large-scale land reclamation operations have occasionally occurred in the past, and adventurers have become accustomed to it.
This kind of wasteland opening event often attracts a large number of adventurers.
After all, almost every large-scale exploration will discover new mineral deposits or ancient ruins.
Although the risk is not small, if you can only come back alive, you will definitely earn a lot of money.
Su Lun and the others walked out of the Bounty Guild and received employment tasks.
No. 19 asked: "What are we going to do now?"
Su Lun: "Follow the original plan."
I wanted to choose an adventure group to go in that direction before, but now it’s better. Almost all adventure groups go to that dwarf tribe.
Moreover, during his perception, Su Lun also discovered that there were many people with abnormal soul fluctuations in the town.
Some magicians have been quietly hiding in the mobile mechanical castles of those large adventure groups.
Looking at one of the recruitment cards, Su Lun said: "Let's ask the 'Iron Shield Adventure Group'."
There are five magicians in the mechanical castle of this adventure group.
No. 19 nodded tacitly.
The two walked over.
Wangjin Post is a supply and first-line camp for adventurers. Some small adventure groups will temporarily form teams here. Large groups will also temporarily recruit some professional members needed according to the mission.
"What level of mechanical modification is it?"
"Level 3 light armor fighting type mechanical skeleton modification. There is also a level 3 gunsmith who works part-time as an intermediate doctor."
"Gunner? If you want to take care of your own ammunition, you can come with us. Otherwise, forget it."
"no problem."
"."
The third-level modification is approximately equal to the combat power of a third-level professional, which is the level of most civilian mechanical warriors.
No. 19’s prosthetic limbs are probably at the third level of modification, so it’s not too high-profile to apply for this.
Su Lun didn't want to expose his abilities in battle, so he signed up for a long-range gunsmith profession.
But gunsmiths are not popular in Marfa.
Because mechanical exoskeletons are more accurate and stable than the human body, almost everyone is a sharpshooter. As long as a slightly better auxiliary shooting device is modified, almost everyone can shoot ninety-nine points on a fixed target.
Moreover, the ammunition consumption cost of the gunnery profession is much higher than that of the fighting type mechanical warrior, which is not popular in an adventure group that is originally about making money.
Fortunately, Su Lun also mentioned a rare part-time doctor, so the Iron Shield Adventure Group recruited two people.
The Iron Shield Adventure Group is a veteran adventure group. The leader, Brooke Locke, is a veteran mechanical warrior who has been transformed to the sixth level. He has a total of three to four hundred people under his command, so he can be considered an experienced veteran adventure group.
Not long after, supplies and recruitment were completed, the mechanical castle's steam boiler was started, and black smoke "rumbling" came out of the tall chimney.
The team officially started.
After leaving Wangjin Post and heading east, you will find the hills and mountains of the Warcraft Mountains.
The mechanical castle moves a bit like a super-large armored RV. It is not very comfortable if it pursues heavy armor defense, and it feels very bumpy.
And as long as you observe, the rusty castle will always shake off some useful metal parts on the bumpy road. Fortunately, there are mechanics accompanying the team, although they will always shout irritably that some part is faulty.
, but it can always make this seemingly mechanical castle continue to drive.
The crawler mechanical castle can handle most road conditions and is not slow at all. The heavy artillery and armor in the castle are also the last bit of life protection for adventurers when they are in danger.
Su Lun didn't care where they were going, and stayed leisurely with No. 19 in the assigned soldier barracks. From his perception, there were five magicians in one room in the castle.
By keeping an eye on these people, you will always know the movements of the Celestial Clan.
Su Lun was not in a hurry to take action.
Because this place is still more than half a month away from the territory of the mountain dwarves, more suitable opportunities can always be found. And he always feels that the gods have other plans.
In this way, the mechanical castle moved forward in the mountains, bumping and bumping along the way.
Even an established adventure group like the Iron Shield Group is familiar with the forest, but they only know roughly one direction.
The climate in the Warcraft Mountains is diverse, and sometimes a dense jungle tens of meters high can grow in one night, with no way to go.
And as you go deeper, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, including rainforests, swamps, mountain streams, and quicksand.
On the third day when Mechanical Castle entered the Warcraft Mountains, its speed slowed down.
Everyone came down and started walking.
The mechanical exoskeleton allowed everyone to afford heavier equipment. Carrying the equipment on their backs, they walked all the way towards the depths of the Warcraft Mountains.
I didn't encounter any major problems along the way.
The most numerous monsters in the Warcraft Mountains are all kinds of Warcraft, but as long as you avoid some top predators, it's almost no big deal.
Many monsters would deliberately avoid a large group of several hundred people like them.
The most troublesome thing was encountering a group of Warcraft Wind Wolves at night. Two unlucky guys who went on a tryst in the forest were killed and more than a dozen people were injured. However, the mechanical warriors have a natural advantage against the Warcraft. The mechanical arms are not afraid of biting and damaging.
After that, it can be repaired and replaced to regain combat effectiveness.
In this way, after walking in the jungle for more than ten days, they gradually approached the territory of the mountain dwarves that adventurers seldom visited.
At the end of the field of vision, a sky-high mountain peak has appeared.
That mountain is like a giant sword stuck in the ground. This is the famous landmark of the Warcraft Mountains - Mount Titan.
Few adventurers know what is there, but Suellen knows from the information he received from the Moses family that the origin of [Activated Silver] is there.
Marfa's official prospectors once discovered that place, but they had a fierce conflict with the dwarves. Later, they also discovered that there was a very dangerous cursed space there, and finally gave up the invasion and mining.
According to the myths and legends passed down by the dwarves, two gods once fought here. One of them was killed on the spot. Under the mountain range is the corpse of the god, and the mountain peak is the sword.
Su Lun was skeptical about myths and legends. After all, the mountain peak was an active volcano.
However, it is reasonable to say that the formation of [Activated Silver] is the fossil of the god after his death.
If I really want to know what's going on over there, I have to get closer and take a look.
On the other hand, just when Su Lun and the others were approaching the "Giant Mountain".
The "Old Blacksmith Adventure Group" has arrived at the Eagle's Nest Stream, which is an inconspicuous coordinate on the map of the Warcraft Forest, but only their blacksmith group knows it.
Not too far away, there is the "Sandstone Tribe" of the mountain dwarves.
This is the territory of the dwarves, and human adventurers are no longer welcome to approach.
The group of blacksmiths placed the hundreds of wine barrels they brought on the rocky beach as they did in the past.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the mountain stream, and a group of dwarves riding antelope horses came galloping towards them.
The leader is a dwarf with a brown beard braided into braids. This is Gaoqiu Bamond, a dwarf from the Sandstone Tribe.
Seeing that the human being who came was not his old friend Yale Ferguson, he frowned and stopped a hundred meters away in alarm.
"Little Booker, it is for the sake of your father that I allow your adventure group to enter the territory of our tribe."
Bamond's brown eyes did not focus on his favorite wine, but looked at the group of people and said in Marfa Common: "You should know that the dwarves don't like to deal with strangers.
Besides, you also brought some outsiders that I feel very bad about."
The blond young man Booker said nonchalantly: "Chief Bamond, because my father is not feeling well, I am bringing you your favorite wine this time. This time the quantity is more than before, and there is also expensive golden rum.
Wine, that is the fine wine from the West Sea, I think you and your tribe will definitely like it."
He was still proudly introducing the goods he had brought, but he didn't notice that the faces of these dwarves had become serious.
The dwarves are not stupid, on the contrary, they can clearly feel the shrewdness hidden in human eyes.
This is an emotion they dislike very much.
It feels like you are dealing with greedy and cunning goblins.
There was a hint of displeasure in Bamond's eyes, and he said: "Little Booker, for the sake of my friendship with your father, I will accept this batch of goods and will also give you a batch of high-quality ore. But remember, next time
Just follow your past habits. Our dwarf tribe doesn’t like outsiders.”
Booker thought that his wine would be happily accepted by the alcoholic dwarves, but he did not expect that they actually refused.
Moreover, this time he came not to exchange for some ore, but for other purposes.
Looking at the alertness of the dwarves, he knew that this conversation might not go well.
Booker looked behind him.
At this moment, a person walked out of the blacksmith adventure group.
She lifted up her cloak, revealing the black and white nun's uniform underneath.
This is none other than Joanabel Martha, the "forbidden nun" of the Crusaders.
She looked at the dwarves in front of her, her eyes shining with a strange and mysterious luster, she showed a friendly and evil smile, and talked eloquently: "I have always heard that the dwarves are a simple and kind-hearted forging clan."
The sound echoes sweetly, as if it has a magical power, making the listener inexplicably fall into a state of relaxation and trust.
However, as soon as these words came out, the magic lines on the dwarf Bamond's helmet flashed, and he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly became furious: "Damn it! You despicable believers of alien gods are trying to pollute our faith!
"
Belief pollution is an offense to the gods they believe in, and it is also spiritual slavery.
Balmond didn't realize that these guys came with malicious intentions.
Dwarves are kind, but also very violent!
Hearing this loud shout, all the dwarves raised their weapons and began to charge.
"Invigorating metal helmet, no wonder it can resist [soul-spelling]."
Qiao Nabell was not surprised at all that her secret casting was seen through.
I didn't expect to learn about the treasure so easily, I just gave it a try.
Instead, looking at the furious dwarves, she murmured in her heart: "Half-dwarves who have lost their faith in gods still have divine protection? It seems that even if that thing is not here, there are other treasures."
Without killing these dwarves, the things hidden in the underground treasure house would not be so easy to obtain.
She looked at the dozens of dwarves charging towards them, raised her staff, and twenty or thirty black-robed magicians behind her chanted magic spells at the same time.
Suddenly, the huge mountain stream collapsed and the ground cracked.
PS. Sorry, I haven't sorted out my ideas yet, and I'm a little stuck. I took leave yesterday and will make up for it later.
