From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 212 Conjecture 10 years ago 【4K】

Peter led the team to flee in a hurry, even though there were no traces of those strange monsters behind them, they still didn't dare to stop.

About half an hour later, they successfully merged with the second team that came up along the mark. Seeing them in such a mess, the officer who temporarily commanded the second team asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Peter's face was extremely ugly. He turned his head and glanced behind him, and said in a depressed tone: "This place is a bit weird, let's retreat to the station and talk about it later."

The officer didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately told the team to turn around and evacuate. He didn't know what happened to Peter and the others on the way. For a moment, a kind of panic grew in their hearts.

They have all undergone special training, so they naturally know that monsters, especially huge monsters, are almost impossible to live in groups, even if they are of the same race.

The reason is very simple and practical. A monster consumes a huge amount of food every day, and the bigger the body, the more so it is impossible to maintain the survival of the group.

Even in the depths of the Warcraft Mountains where the biological density is high, this is almost impossible, let alone the periphery with extremely low biological density?
Generally speaking, most of the Warcraft that live in groups are small in size, such as the red-tailed monkeys encountered when developing the limestone veins, or the wildebeests captured by Ryan in the valley.

In addition to living in groups, there is only one possibility for so many large monsters to gather together, and that is the "monster tide" that has changed people's faces.

According to ancient books and the historical records of the former lords of Kanna, in the depths of the Warcraft Mountains, there are Warcraft kings who have reached the "legendary" level of the human world. They are terrifying existences comparable to giant dragons, and often dominate a large area. area.

In that area, all the monsters are its vassals, submitting to its might.

These beast kings will compete for territory, or covet the land outside the Warcraft Mountains, and at this time they will gather their Warcraft to attack.

This is the origin of the beast tide, and it is a very large scale beast tide!
Because only a large-scale beast tide would gather so many huge monsters.

They appeared on the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains. Naturally, this was not a battle for territory between beast kings, but an attack on human territory. This kind of thing has happened many times in history, and there is no room for these soldiers not to be afraid.

Facing the terrifying beast horde, none of them had the confidence to resist it!
With trepidation in their hearts, they returned to the station at the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible.

Since the training time was not over yet, the large troops naturally couldn't return hastily, but this matter could not be delayed, so Peter and several other witnessing soldiers were selected to go to Doman City to report the situation.

Ryan expressed great importance to this matter, and personally met them in the castle.

"Peter, I know you. You used to be the captain of the first battalion, and you made great achievements in the first battle of the orc invasion." Ryan said after motioning for several people to sit down.

Peter was a little excited. He didn't expect Ryan to remember his name. After all, he was the high-ranking Viscount.

After seeing several people sitting down, Ryan asked: "Tell me what happened in detail, don't let go of any details."

"Yes, my lord, we were carrying out that day..." Although Peter was nervous, he articulated clearly and organizedly, and quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

Even Ryan was a little surprised when he heard that they killed a fourth-level monster without using a crystal bomb. It was a monster stronger than a high-level knight, and they took it down with such a small casualty.

In the past, I would have never dared to think about it. A group of mortals beheading a fourth-level monster would not dare to write such a fairy tale, but now, with new equipment, they can do it without much pressure.

Thinking back to the time when he and Xiyue encountered that iron armored bear, it can be said that it took a lot of effort to kill it.

This made Ryan very relieved, it seems that his direction is not wrong.

In the process of recalling, Peter focused on explaining the weirdness of that area, as well as the suspicious "tiankeng".

I don't know why, when Peter mentioned the black land and gray fog, he somehow thought of the ruins of the research institute in the Warcraft Mountains. The holographic image left by the director once described a kind of fire that accompanied the arrival of "sky fire". the devil.

They invaded the human world with the help of gray mist, and after the gray mist eroded the land, it turned black.

"Is all this related?" Thinking of the devil who escaped from the laboratory mentioned by the director of the research institute, Ryan felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

Peter didn't know what kind of impact his words had on Ryan. He was now eloquently describing the strange appearance of those monsters, and emphasized the difference between the two waves before and after.

"They... don't match any of the monsters I know, it's like a hodgepodge of everything, very... disharmonious."

Peter held back for a long time, but in the end he could only express it with discord.

"A hodgepodge..." Ryan's brows were almost wrinkled. According to Peter's description, he really couldn't imagine what it was.

"By the way, my lord, I also grabbed some soil and plants. I think you may need them." Peter suddenly remembered that he had brought a bag of mud.

He quickly handed over the cloth bag he was carrying.

Ryan didn't expect the other party to have such a consciousness, so he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Opening the bag, a very peculiar smell spread out immediately. It was not the smell of soil. Ryan felt that he could not describe it in words, but felt that he hated this smell from the depths of his soul.

There is a dark green grass inside. It is reasonable to say that no matter in the world, whether it is vegetation, insects, fish, or birds and animals, there will be an "angry" in the body.

It can be said that as long as it is a living thing, it will have vitality, but ordinary people can't feel it, but this feeling is very obvious to a great knight like Ryan.

But this grass was different. Although it didn't show any signs of withering, Ryan didn't feel any vitality at all, as if it wasn't a grass, but a cold stone.

"Could it be that the vitality dissipated after picking? That's not right, the vitality of the vegetation shouldn't disappear so quickly." Ryan's doubts became more and more intense, which was not in line with common sense at all.

"Show it to others at that time." Ryan put away the cloth bag, looked at Peter with a serious expression, and said, "This matter is a lot suspicious. After you go back, train in a different direction. Don't get close for now. Take the rewards and supplies back with you."

This is the order to evict the guest, but Peter is a little hesitant to speak, and it can be seen that he is very entangled.

"Did you find anything else?" Looking at his constipated expression, Ryan asked with a smile.

Peter gritted his teeth: "My lord, I think this is a bit like the legendary beast tide. It is very close to the construction site of the new city. Did you prepare in advance?"

Ryan was noncommittal about his suggestion, nodded and said: "Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it."

After sending away a few people, Ryan took out a huge ball from the drawer, turned on the switch and said: "Alan, there may be an emergency in the Warcraft Mountains in the near future, so end the training immediately, the fourth and fifth Battalion garrison the new city, bring more heavy weapons, and always be on guard against the wind and grass in the direction of the Warcraft Mountains."

Although Ryan didn't think this was a harbinger of the beast tide, he had to be prepared. The lives of more than 2 construction workers on the construction site were not child's play.

It happened that the construction of the city wall of the new city was coming to an end, and the deployment of the two battalions was enough to build a solid defense.

Not long after, the ball in his hand flickered, and a steady voice came out of it: "I am Allen, and I will lead the troops out immediately."

Ryan told the ins and outs of the matter, told Allen to be vigilant, and then ended the conversation.

"The sound passing ball is really convenient, but I don't know when Liman and the others will be able to solve the technical problem, and then they will be able to solve the long-standing problem of long-distance communication."

After sighing, he took the bag and rushed to Liman's rune laboratory. The uneasiness in his heart told him that this matter was not simple, and he urgently needed to figure it out.

------

"It's a strange plant. I can't feel any breath of life, but it doesn't look like it's completely dead." Liman looked at the grass in front of him, just like Ryan.

"Susan, you read a lot of books about monsters. Is there a monster that matches what I just said?" Ryan automatically filtered out Liman's nonsense, and turned to his sister Susan.

Susan's small face was tense, and she shook her head decisively when she heard the words: "It is impossible for a monster to look like that. It is too unreasonable. Under normal circumstances, there will be no monster that looks like that."

Ryan frowned, and he knew in his heart that this was impossible. He asked Susan just to be sure. From this point of view, his previous guess may be established.

"You said, is it possible that these grotesque monsters were artificially created?" He put forward a bold hypothesis.

"It's not..." Liman was about to refute Ryan, but suddenly remembered a piece of information that he had ignored.

He immediately plunged into the data storage room to search, and soon found a large piece of animal skin paper. Liman laid it out on the table with a solemn expression and said:
"This is the information you brought back from the ruins. It records a very confidential research. Do you still remember the research institute that studied the escape of the last living specimen of the devil?"

"Of course I remember, are you saying that these things are related to demon seeds?"

"That's right." Liman nodded, then pointed to the animal skin paper and said, "It is recorded that the research institute was trying to transform the monsters and turn them into weapons of war for humans.

What they use is a technology called 'transplantation and reorganization', which is to combine some organs of monsters with monster seeds, and finally form one or more war weapons that can be mass-produced! "

"What a crazy plan..." Ryan was dumbfounded. Could this be a biochemical experiment from another world?

"It's really crazy, but according to the records, their experiment should have failed, and the technology disappeared with the fall of the laboratory. Then how did these monsters with completely matching characteristics appear?"

"Is it possible that there are still surviving personnel in the fallen research institute, who took away the relevant technology and hid in that 'tiankeng'?" Susan boldly guessed.

"If that's the case, then it's pretty good." Liman's face was terribly gloomy.

"Yeah, I'm afraid that those demons who destroy the world have mastered those technologies..." Ryan faintly said the worst consequence.

The former is still human after all, and more or less "related" with Ryan, but the devil is different, it is an existence that once destroyed the world!
Gray fog, lifeless plants, black land, strange monsters...

All these key words have directed the eyes of Ryan and others to the "devil" who does not know when the era came. This is really a terrible and terrifying guess.

"Did devils really come to this world and destroy the human world? But, why have I never seen any records about devils, even in the Dawn Empire period?"

Susan felt that they were a little alarmist. The history of this world is very long, and the earliest written records appeared to be close to 10 years ago.

This is a very scary time. You must know that even if you play around and play hooligans on Blue Star, the history of writing will not exceed 5000 years. 10 years is really terrifying.

But even so, there is no record of the devil at all, which makes Susan doubt whether it really exists.

Taking a step back, if the powerful era of the research institute was 10 years ago, but they were all destroyed, who defeated these demons and continued civilization?God?

There are too many doubts in it, which makes Susan, who has always been rigorous, somewhat unacceptable.

"Well, I've always been skeptical about this, but now that this kind of 'patchwork' monsters have just appeared, and all the information points to them, I have no choice but to regard them as imaginary enemies."

Ryan slapped his hands heavily on the table. Whether it was the devil or the konjac, this was not good news for Kana Ling, who was close at hand, and it was time to plan ahead.

"Master Liman, have you made any new achievements in weapons recently?" Ryan looked at Liman expectantly. The existing weapons really can't give Ryan confidence. He needs more and more powerful weapons.

Liman scratched his hair and said: "There is indeed a new achievement, but it is still a long way from success. If it can be completed, it will surpass all the current weapons in the territory."

Ryan's eyes suddenly burst into light. Liman never brags. He said that surpassing will definitely surpass. This made him a little excited, and he hurriedly asked.

"The inspiration for this weapon still comes from the cannon you mentioned before. It should be similar in principle to what you said. I named it [Magic Crystal Cannon]."
