Chapter 1056 1054 Nefertari’s Moon Secret Cult has a great style of painting
Chapter 1056 There is something very wrong with the style of Nefertari’s Moon Secret Cult.
Calculating the time, there are still about thirty days before the Pharaoh's birthday banquet begins.
For such a large-scale diplomatic event, such a small amount of time to prepare is actually very urgent. Don't look at the big shopkeeper, Mr. Murphy, who is still leisurely writing various copywriting of the new plot, but Mi is really doing the work.
Li An was already extremely busy choosing birthday gifts for the Pharaoh and preparing for his trip.
After all, this is the first time that Transia has participated in diplomatic affairs of this size as a separate political entity after the end of the Ten Years' War, and it must be taken seriously!
Even Professor Malcolm was urgently recalled to Scarlet Castle. As a historian, his explanation of the various taboos and customs of the Songhai people can undoubtedly help the consul.
In addition to preparing gifts, this trip to the Origin also involves bringing back the little mummy Nefertari, who has been stranded in Transia for several months. However, the little mummy also has many things to prepare.
Especially regarding the undead situation in Xiko City, after confirming that she could not handle it alone, Nefertari had decided to recruit help from her "parental family", that is, the Church of the Dead Moon.
However, it is a very large organization that has existed for more than a thousand years. Just reporting and going through the procedures after returning will take a long time. Therefore, the Moon Secret Cult established locally by the little mummy has also been forced to be busy these days.
They have to assist Nefertari in collecting various samples and taking field images, and they also have to summarize the various causes, consequences and details of why Xiko City has become what it is now. So when Murphy came to this place of the undead under the bright sun,
When I arrived, I saw that all the undead in the city had been mobilized, as if they were conducting a "super cleaning".
The little mummy Nefertari sat on the head of her three-headed dog, waving a spiritual flag full of energy.
Wherever she pointed her hand, a large number of mindless undead were driven there and began to search and dig in the cleared ruins.
Farther away in the center of the city, the Corpse Witches and Hades Knights of the Moon Secret Cult each led their servants to collect psychic samples in different areas, and also classified and recorded the types of undead currently in the city.
It is really rare to see a group of dead guys working in the sun without touching the ground. At least Murphy has never seen the dead perform such a large-scale activity in such a "living" manner.
"Are you going to turn this city into ruins?"
Murphy flapped his wings and landed next to Nefertari under the cover of the shadow cloak. He joked:
"Why do I feel that your anxious state is like those bad students who don't do their homework well and wait until the teacher checks to catch them?"
"Shut up. If you have time to make fun of me, why don't you come and help me quickly?"
Nefertari put on a golden mask to cover her mummy face. She said with great regret and heartbreak:
"It's not because I've been spending my precious time helping you create damn dragoons!
As a result, I haven't even completed half of the "Investigation Report on the Undead in Xiko City". If I hand in such a report, I will have to be excommunicated by my mentor and go to the Abyss of Resentful Spirits to guard the gate for hundreds of years. The Moon of Death is above, and I have to be there.
At least sort out the information before departure, and then catch up on the manuscript on the way.
It is probably too late to check the text and standards. I hope the seniors of the Dead Moon Church will not get too hung up on grammatical issues.
ah?
Why are you still here watching?
Go and help!
The Dark Knight over there in the vault is still in a strange state of confusion. That guy doesn't listen to my orders and clings to the gold, unwilling to leave.
Hurry!
Mr. Murphy, use your invincible power to solve it!
Xiao Sharon previously begged me to transport the death gold from the city as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on local finances."
"Okay, okay, it's all our fault, okay."
Murphy pouted and said:
"But when I just returned to Scarlet Castle a few days ago, I heard some guards chatting and said that you spent the whole day wandering around in the market of Scarlet Castle. The merchants there all know you. Mrs. Shui's tailor shop
There are still several sets of clothes you ordered that I haven't picked up yet.
This doesn't look like he's usually busy with work.
Don't glare at me, I'm just telling the truth.
Speaking of which, are you sure that after you leave, the undead in this city will not suddenly go berserk?
As a swordsman who doesn't know much about spiritual energy, I can feel here that the death spiritual energy here is at least three times stronger than before. The lowest level skeleton soldiers here are well-raised and have begun to advance to the skeleton warrior level.
.”
"It's hard to say."
The little mummy suddenly became listless. She leaned on the spiritual flag and complained:
"Actually, the best plan is for me to stay here, and you guys hand over the report for me, and let the Death Moon Church send the Death Priest to help. But the Pharaoh's birthday banquet is a really important event for my clan, and I have to
Go back, otherwise you will be disrespecting the imperial tradition.
I'll leave my three-headed dog here.
Its patrolling in the city can at least ensure that the activities of the undead will not exceed the safety threshold. All members of my Moon Secret Cult have also been assigned responsibilities. As long as they are not lazy, the wards in the city can operate normally, and there are also Western
Count Comer and his wife are suppressing it, and there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
But for the sake of safety, I still recommend that you mobilize at least thirty dragoons to guard the periphery of the city, just like we arranged sun ships, Hades troops and quicksand guards around the Abyss of Wraiths.
In this way, even if the undead riot, the powerful combat power of the dragoons will be able to buy you time to deploy your troops and generals to prevent the undead tide from getting out of control.
Oh, and speaking of dragoons!
Come with me. There happens to be a group of dragoons that have just been completed and need to be handed over to the Transian military. I heard that you have recruited a group of powerful mechanics, so from now on, just leave this kind of work to them. My
Moon Esoteric is only responsible for providing wetware cores that have been assembled."
In the mummy's rambling description, she rode a three-headed dog and took Murphy to a completely razed residential area on the outskirts of Xiko City.
A huge temporary production workshop was built here out of steel, with the crafted Knights of the Underworld patrolling back and forth with their ghoul servants.
The first thing Murphy saw when he walked in was a row of dismantled walking machine parts. These damaged machines brought back from the battlefield on the Genoa Peninsula were stored in different areas according to their module functions.
Even the damaged outer armor was not wasted. A team of Hades Knights operated a steam furnace-powered cutting saw to dismantle the damaged steel.
There is a simple smelting workshop not far away. These steel materials that cannot be reused will be sent there to be melted and cast, and then reshaped into weapons and simple protective gear that can be used by the undead using various molds.
There is nothing wrong with the reuse of this kind of leftover materials. Considering that Transia is currently full of waste, all departments have a similar tradition of thrift. But what really surprised Murphy was that all the people working on this construction site were
Undead!
I don’t know how Nefertari operated, but she just let the supposedly brainless skeleton warriors swing the sledgehammer, while the ghouls carried pieces of steel on their backs to the forge, and were then commanded by the silent corpse witches.
The lowest level skeleton warriors control the molds, and next to them is a flat cart pulled by skeletons.
After a batch of weapons and protective equipment are forged, they will be put into the cart by the broad-shouldered knights of Hades. After loading, the skeleton horse will carry the things towards the military camp on the other side of the city.
The whole process went smoothly, and the undead fished without whispering, making this scene look quite absurd and "automatic for the undead."
Murphy retracted his gaze and looked forward. Deeper in the site, a large number of undead were crawling around on the iron shelves built around the dragoon structure, using manpower to put various components into the mechanical structure and fix them.
After it was completed, there was the sound of iron chains. The heavy outer armor hoisted by a pulley structure was lifted into the air under the pull of many Hades knights, and was covered in the mechanical structure under the command of a corpse witch waving a flag from above.
superior.
The last step is for the skeleton warrior holding a steam-powered impact drill to step forward and drive the fixing bolts into each riveting hole with stiff movements.
A dragoon was assembled in this way.
Of course, this thing will have to go through a series of tests to confirm that it is correct before it is sent to the military for orders.
In the warehouse next to the processing workshop, six Dragoons have been assembled and are waiting to be repainted.
"how did you do it?"
Murphy exclaimed:
"The thinking and consciousness of the undead are inherently weak. I have seen how other corpse witches manipulate low-level undead. They are absolutely incapable of such precise operation and command. However, in your hands, these undead have become the most qualified workers.
It can even be said to be one of the most efficient factories in Transia.
It’s hard to imagine, is this the power of the Dead Moon Church?”
"Hey, the Dead Moon Church doesn't use this backward production method."
The little mummy immediately became happy when she saw Murphy looking like he had never seen the world. She folded her arms and complained:
"Even though we are a faith organization, we do not resist the assistance from machinery. There are many machine workshops in the Holy City of the Dead Moon, which are specially used to provide armaments for the Hades Army, and occasionally we also accept some private orders.
We also have some automated machines that we have found from the Creator's legacy and can be used.
This is just a small fight at the moment, but what should I say?
The corpse witches of the Moon Secret Cult learned very quickly. I just taught them the method, and they trained such an undead production team for Xiko City in day after day training.
The undead are indeed not good at thinking and planning, but as long as they are continuously trained in a specific way, they will be very adaptable to this kind of assembly line operation. The dead provide survival supplies for the living, but our Church of the Dead Moon is the most important.
One of the teachings.
In my vision, the future city of Siko will become an industrial city in Transia!
The old Count Sicomaire is also very interested in this plan, and he fully cooperates with me to transform the city. Unfortunately, the old Count is not yet able to move freely.
As for these weapons"
The little mummy hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"I can't hide it from you. The fact is that the old count is preparing for war!
He has said more than once that the grievances between Xiko City and the Pioneer Legion need to be resolved by himself. He obviously does not intend to let the living bear the unfinished mission of the dead. Before completing this matter, he will not become a member of the Kings of Hades.
.
The selection of residents in the undead city has been completed. In addition to the resurrected Xiko Winged Cavalry, an elite undead army with an armor coverage rate of 100% is also taking shape. Its lowest members are all skeleton warriors.
A powerful undead.
This kind of quality can already be called a real Hades army.
I don’t know how you living people are going to deal with the border conflict with the Kingdom of Plantagenet, but the dead obviously have their own ideas, and you also know that the undead are generally very stubborn, so if you plan to prevent their revenge, it is likely to lead to
More serious consequences."
"Block? Why block?"
Murphy looked back at the little mummy and said:
"Hatred and grudges are real. When the first plague barrel was smashed into Xiko City, this matter was destined to be irreconcilable! As the lord of this land, my duty is to vent my anger on its behalf.
, rather than suppressing the inner desires and demands of my people.
Even without the participation of Xiko's Hades Army, living people will not forget the suffering in history.
The Plantagenets owe us a debt!
The longer the delay, the higher the interest rate. This is a very simple reason.
But I have a preset premise for the revenge of Xi Ke's undead, that is, they must not get out of control.
Once they transform from the underworld army into a natural disaster of the undead, once they degenerate from just revenge into ruthless massacre, then I must entrust the Holy Light Church to solve these problems."
"Hmm, this is what I must do when I return to the Holy City of the Dead Moon this time."
Nefertari picked up her Book of the Dead and said:
"The mentor must have a way to stabilize their minds and draw a bottom line for all their actions, just like the Songhai Empire restrained the kings of Hades. The dead have their own scope of activities and cannot interfere with the society of the living.
The cycle of life and death must be maintained in balance, otherwise real big problems will arise.
In addition, Lord Murphy, I will bring a Dragoon as a model when I go back this time. The Church of the Dead Moon has also tried to integrate the undead with machinery in the past, but unfortunately it failed in the end.
Although Dragoon is not a successful work, it has indeed completed the vision of the sages to a certain extent through the wetware core as a wonderful intermediary. I want to take it back and show it to my colleagues, maybe those theorists
Can we come up with some clever ideas to help you improve the dragoon combat system?"
"Okay, of course I welcome it."
Murphy waved his hand and said:
"Bringing just one back home is probably not enough for disassembly and analysis. I suggest you bring a few more, maybe five. This will give the Dead Moon Church more opportunities to practice and dismantle.
Of course, if you bring Wutai, you have to bring Wutai back. If you can help with the strengthening of the spirit body, I will be very happy.
Nefertari, you are truly a noble of our Transia. If possible, after the city of Xiko becomes the Holy Land of Death, can I invite you to come and sit here for a long time and preach the doctrine of the Moon of Death to my people?
"
"Ha! You just want to trick me into coming here to work for you long-term. You Murphy are so bad!"
The little mummy, whose mind was filled with water, saw through Murphy's cunning plan at a glance, but the flattery from the vampire governor was very useful to the little mummy.
She pretended to think for a while, then nodded and said:
"If the Moon Secret Cult can become a subordinate organization of the Death Moon Church, as the founder, I will naturally sit in the 'Longxing Land' of our sect, and this should be regarded as an internship before taking up the job.
In fact, if I had not chosen this place, I would have had to stay in some death pyramid in the Origin for hundreds of years before I could take over the mantle of mentor.
Compared to the solemn and deserted Pyramid of Death, I still think Xiko City and Transia are more interesting.
So, I agree!"
"Great!"
Murphy laughed and was about to award an "honorary Transian" badge to the capable little mummy on the spot, but right here, some noise came from nearby, causing Murphy to turn his head and look, and then he saw
A group of burly Wamu barbarians were walking out of a house with their own handouts.
This scene made the vampire lord raise his eyebrows, and he said to Nefertari:
"Are these the learners sent by the Wamu Temple?"
"Well, they named themselves 'Spirit Forgers'."
The little mummy explained:
"Their activities in Xiko City are absolutely secret. No one knows it except us. These are the berserker priests with the strongest learning ability in the Temple of Vamu. They come to learn how to integrate souls with steel.
This is used to create a violent 'immortal war spirit' for the berserk in the world.
The learning ability of these guys is actually very poor, and barbarians are not naturally suitable for such detailed creation.
but
Their fanatical beliefs make up for their lack of learning ability.
They regard it as an offering to the berserker. With their enthusiasm for learning, I estimate that the legend of ruthless war spirits will soon appear on the land of Ice Bay, but I really don’t know why Lord Vaam wants to
Do this"
"His Kingdom of God is gone, and it seems that Wam has no intention of rebuilding it."
Murphy explained:
"The Berserker needs a group of warriors who can face the evil spirits of the subspace. He wants to learn from Su and become a pack of wolves that wreak havoc on the subspace battlefield. That is the recruitment of the war of gods. Mortals cannot set foot on such a battlefield, but ruthless and indifferent war spirits
Can.
All I can say is that it is indeed Wam.
If He did not have a Kingdom of God from the beginning, then there would be no need to worry about the Kingdom of God being besieged or occupied. In this way, even if the Chaos forces want to use a family-changing tactic that transcends the times for three hundred years, it will be impossible to accurately find it.
Vaam's fatal flaw.
No, that's not right either.
I suspect that the berserker may be planning to shape Ice Bay into his divine kingdom, a divine kingdom on earth. As long as the material world does not fall, he will have a stable rear area. Alas, you sometimes have to admit that a fool will always have a plan.
