Chapter 1710 The battlefield between reality and reality
Almost at the same time as Vivian's words fell, a cool breeze suddenly blew through the pine forest and blew on everyone's face.
In the cool wind, everyone heard a faint cry of murder, along with some kind of heavy, dark, almost nauseating depression.
Several people in the car looked at each other, and then Hao Ren patted the car: "Go over and take a look at the situation."
The magic vehicle made a slight buzz, and the modified engine smoothly increased its output. The three vehicles sped on the wide forest road, and the cool wind never stopped in the process.
And the shouts of death coming from the wind are becoming more and more real.
This direction is exactly the same as the one guided by Leah's intuition - Hao Ren quite trusts Leah's intuition as a god, so he is now convinced that he is finally close to the "core" of the forest.
The car passed two forks and passed through a dense pine forest. Finally, the road in the forest reached the end. The three cars rushed out of the dense forest, and the environment in front of them suddenly became clearer.
There is actually an extremely vast open area hidden in the black pine forest, and in this open land, a doomsday battle is taking place.
The dense forest stopped abruptly here, and the large land ahead was like a forest country, with vast, flat land and continuous buildings. Hao Ren didn't know what this place looked like when it was intact. The only thing he could see now was
There was a raging war and corpses littered the fields.
Huge smoke pillars rose everywhere, and tall buildings in the distance collapsed in the smoke and fire. Soldiers wearing silver-white armor bravely resisted the invaders on this land. They held energy shields and
They use photon blades, or use long-range firearms and staffs to fight against enemies, and their enemies are the corrupt monsters they have seen in the forest before, as well as many other types of terrifying creatures.
The number of monsters was like a tide, and their individual qualities were no weaker than those of the silver-armored soldiers. Hao Ren saw that the soldiers wearing silver-white armor were retreating under the attack of the monsters. They formed groups of dozens of people and united.
Propping up a huge military formation shield, but even with the joint shield, they are still unable to sustain themselves among the monsters that have formed a black tide. Those shining shields are like fireflies submerged in mud, on the battlefield
One by one they went out.
In the center of the battlefield, there is a group of extremely tall buildings - it seems to be a city, and it is also a place that the soldiers are desperately defending.
A bright shield shines over the city, and there are countless luminous spiers standing in the city. Some of those spiers maintain the energy nodes of the city shield, while others point straight to the sky, with dazzling light beams constantly coming from their tips.
Shoot out and shoot into the vast sky.
This was the first scene everyone saw after rushing out of the dense forest.
"Alert... alert!!" A guard captain finally came to his senses. He suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted in an almost changed tone.
However, Charlemagne immediately stopped the impulsive soldiers: "Calm down!! These are all phantoms!"
His Royal Highness the Prince was also nervous, and there was even a slight cold sweat on his forehead, but he still realized the true nature of the scenes in front of him in time - because there was a group of silver-white explosion flames erupting about ten meters away from the motorcade, but
He didn't feel the slightest impact or heat.
After Charlemagne shouted to stop, the soldiers realized that the tragic battlefield in front of them was just part of the "illusion" of the black pine forest. They finally calmed down a little, but everyone still held a sharp knife in their hands and did not dare to relax at all.
After all, such a large-scale illusion is right in front of you. Even if they are all fake, there are often endless dangers in the illusion.
"The 'Phantom' this time is different from the ones I saw before," Hao Ren was also startled by the scene in front of him, but his calmness was stronger than everyone present. As he spoke, he smiled slightly.
He tilted his head and looked at Leah, "The scale is very large, and it seems to have lasted for a long time - it is still going on now."
"There is no smell..." Leah suddenly said something seemingly irrelevant, "No matter whether it is a shadow or a phantom, there is no smell."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to Vivian: "Wait a minute, Vivian, you said you smelled blood?!"
"That's right, and I can still feel it vaguely now," Vivian pointed to her nose, "My sense of smell is not as good as that of a big dog, but my perception of blood does not entirely rely on my nose. I'm sure I don't feel it.
wrong."
"There are not only phantoms here," Hao Ren made an instant judgment, "Everyone, please be more vigilant - Vivian, you are here to show the way."
Vivian nodded and raised her hand to point in the direction of the city in the distance: "The breath is coming from that building complex."
Everyone stepped into this "battlefield".
Walking through such a realistic illusion is definitely an unprecedented experience for Charlemagne and others. Countless monsters and strange soldiers are fighting right under their noses, bleeding, death, loud shouts of death, smoke and explosions.
They are all so real, except that there is no smell of gunpowder smoke, everything here is hard to believe is caused by hallucinations, but these are indeed hallucinations——
They walked through this tragic battlefield, as if they were in a deserted land, and all the images, whether they were monsters or soldiers, passed through them.
Hao Ren turned on the recording mode of the data terminal and opened his eyes wide, not letting go of every detail on this battlefield.
The army outside the city was on the verge of collapse. The silver-armored warriors were being slaughtered almost one side at this moment. The mutated monsters tore through the warriors' defense lines and flesh and blood, smashing and burning everything along the way. However, the fighting of those warriors
But their will was incredibly strong, and even though they were being unilaterally massacred, they showed no signs of retreating.
They are defending this city, truly defending it, as if after the city falls, the entire world will perish.
Apart from the army that was about to be completely wiped out outside the city, the only remaining combat power was the defensive forts on the outer wall of the magnificent city.
Hao Ren saw that the city had a ring of shining silver alloy walls, and countless artillery pieces with long rails were placed on the top and outer walls of the wall. Dazzling currents jumped between those rails, accompanied by continuous roars.
Projectiles and plasma balls accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound bombarded the monsters outside the city in waves. However, such fierce firepower could only slightly hinder the monsters' footsteps.
A whistling sound that was so sharp that it almost tore the eardrums pierced the air. The sound came from high altitude. Hao Ren looked up at the sky and saw a dark, spindle-shaped substance falling from high altitude. In the direction of its attack
, there seemed to be countless huge shadows hidden in the turbid sky.
The anti-aircraft firepower in the city is constantly strafing the sky. They may have blocked attacks from the sky for a long time, but now, the anti-aircraft firepower is finally stretched.
The spindle-shaped black substance hit the city shield hard and immediately exploded into large balls of mud. The mud flowed downwards along the city shield, and dazzling explosions erupted where they came into contact with the shield.
Electric light.
The shrill sound of air raid sirens echoed endlessly in the city.
Hao Ren tapped the shell of the data terminal and said only two words: "Analysis."
"It is a suspected orbital bombing. Judging from the silhouette of the attacker and the intensity of the impact, there is a high probability that it came from low-Earth orbit."
"Why don't the defenders have air power?"
"I'm afraid they have been wiped out - with the level of technology they have shown, it is impossible not to have an air force. The only possibility of not having an air force is that the entire army has been annihilated."
"Technical level?"
"At least at the planetary system level - considering that their shield technology is extremely advanced, the rating can be raised moderately."
Hao Ren nodded slightly and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he looked at Leah, who was looking around with wide eyes in the front of the carriage: "I'm afraid the Lahirien you saw more than nine thousand years ago did not have this level of strength.
technology."
"Of course not - and I have never seen this war. The Lahirien I saw was closed and peaceful. Although occasionally a lunatic would pop up who tried to destroy the world, but they usually couldn't even destroy a village.
In the end, he was pressed to death by the brave men who came out of the village - there has never been a battle on this scale before."
"What you can see is only a hundred years. This war obviously happened before that," Hao Ren looked at Leia, "and it went back more than a little bit. It probably spanned an era of civilization... There were people from the universe.
The attackers have skilled space combat weapons, which is not what a closed planet that is sealed in a sea of chaos in the dark realm and cannot even know what is outside the atmosphere can present."
The convoy arrived under the silver-white walls of the city.
No entrance or exit can be seen on the wall, just like a smooth curved mirror blocking everyone's eyes - considering the decisive battle outside, even if the city has gates, those gates are probably closed at this moment.
This battlefield is full of phantoms of the past, and the wall is no exception. The seemingly seamless high wall cannot theoretically stop outsiders, but before the convoy entered the city, Leah called Hao Ren.
"These are not all phantoms, there are entities mixed in here - if you are not careful, you will hit them."
After saying that, the little goddess looked at the city wall in front of her and sighed softly: "The past, let it go."
A large wall disappeared with the sigh of God.
Hao Ren saw a piece of collapsed and charred ruins. The huge metal and polymer debris could still be vaguely seen as being part of the city wall, but now they had fallen to the ground in pieces and were buried in the soil.
There are vines growing along these ruins that seem to have spread over many years, even epochs.
Hao Ren looked back at the battlefield. All the soldiers had been wiped out, and monsters were swarming towards the city wall. It was obvious that the soldiers who rushed out were simply seeking death. Those who organized this defense battle did not expect to be able to hold on.
Nothing, no thought of saving the soldiers, the army was completely wiped out outside the city, just to delay time.
Now, that battlefield is being gradually swallowed up by the black pine forest that has spread again. In the black pine forest, no remnants of the battlefield can be seen.
I'm afraid the entire black pine forest was built on a piece of ruins - Hao Ren couldn't help but think this.
However, there are some ruins of the city in front of us, just like those "roads in the forest" outside, leaving traces of materialization in this world where reality and reality are intertwined.
"Which part here is real and which part is false?" Lily finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there really any 'reality' in the black pine forest?"
Leah replied calmly: "It's just between fiction and reality."
