Cataclysm King

Chapter 546 Titan Blueprint Leak
a few days later.

In an unnamed canyon north of Shadowfang Keep.

The battle a few days ago caused the Union Army's temporary command post to be moved here.

The camp was still heavily guarded as before.

Mechanical shields were cast into solid and towering walls, and various mechanical sentinels and black technologies were deployed around them to guard the safety of the camp at all times.

A large number of mechanical armors were piled up in the open space of the camp.

In order to guard against enemy pursuit, the Allied Forces Headquarters also mobilized a new mechanical squadron for support.

The combat capability of this temporary command post is now no worse than before.

The maintenance area was filled with various damaged mechas and parts. These were the batch of mechas that were damaged a few days ago.

The engineers are still busy with repairs.

The coating is engraved with runes, and the mechanical arm is operated to lift heavy parts and replace and install new weapons and equipment.
"Click" "Click".
"Puff." "Puff."
The sounds of steam and steel rubbing against each other merged into a heavy yet soothing melody in the camp.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to leave these days because he wanted to see if there would be any experts chasing after him from Duke Simon's side.

But probably because the Alliance killed the eighth-rank "Poison Scythe" Zolas in the previous battle, and almost wiped out several elite squads of large mercenary groups such as the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group, the other mercenaries no longer dared to underestimate these "Eastern Wilderness natives" and became cautious.

Even the Simon family has to weigh whether the cost of continuing the encirclement and suppression is worth it.

There are many places that can be developed in the Old Continent, and there are also many places with treasures. There is no need to continue fighting here.

Otherwise, if the family power is damaged too much, it will give other nobles in the southern continent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

I didn’t catch up with him in the past few days, and it’s even more impossible to catch up with him in the future.

At least for a long time to come, the Allied Forces will have a chance to rest and recuperate.

Ji Xun also had to leave. He had to go to the Eastern Wilderness and had a lot of things to do.

In the commander's tent of the camp, a vivid and beautiful scene was being played out at this moment.

The commander's uniform was hung aside, and his white shirt and other clothes were scattered around the bed.

The thin green military blanket could not conceal her boundless beauty at all, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent.

There was an alluring blush on Catalina's beautiful face, her big wavy golden hair was scattered on her back, and her proud figure was completely uncovered.

Occasionally, a big hand would climb up from the slender waist and gently hold and play with it.
Catalina just smiled and said nothing, her eyes were hazy.

Soon, the joy was fully realized.

The young lady from the Lionheart family lazily lay on Ji Xun's chest and closed her eyes for a nap.

After a pause, neither of them spoke, and there was an intimate and relaxing atmosphere in the tent.

Catalina didn't open her eyes either, and suddenly muttered lazily: "Ji Xun, I have to say, this succubus secret method is really powerful. I feel that my understanding of the law has improved a lot in the past few days, and my physical condition is better than before."

"hehe."

Ji Xun gently stroked the white jade lion in his arms and chuckled.

Of course he knew the usefulness of the succubus secret technique, whether it was for pleasure or spiritual practice, it had positive benefits.

Just because we were leaving, the joyful atmosphere became a little intense.

Katharina suddenly sat up, looked at Ji Xun, her beautiful eyes flickering, and asked ambiguously, "You really won't stay a few more days?"

Ji Xun said: "There are still many things to do in the Eastern Wasteland. I also want to see what is going on with the Silver Moon Sect and the Orlan Royal Court. You should also pay attention, the followers of the Silver Moon Sect should have infiltrated."

"Oh."

Of course Catalina knew that Ji Xun had something important to do, and her tone was not a sensible attempt to keep him, but rather a teasing one.

She didn't get back to the serious matters that had been discussed many times. Instead, she blinked and said with a sly smile, "Ah, but without me around, there won't be anyone to help you suppress the distortion, right?"

As she spoke, her naked body twisted, and the pink magic power unique to the succubus's secret magic lingered on her body, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the tent suddenly became stronger.

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He guessed what Katarina wanted to tease, so he didn't respond.

Her hands were just resting on that round hip line, and after hearing these words, she smiled and patted that plump and soft part.

There are slight waves.

Unconsciously, my interest was rekindled.

I have to say that this young lady from the Lionheart family is absolutely impeccable in both figure and temperament.

Not to mention that they are close friends, just as an object of pleasure, she can be called a stunner.

Of course, Catalina noticed the subtle response. Instead of feeling shy, she smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Ji Xun is in a very good mood today."

The two of them are already very familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding in terms of pleasure.

As she spoke, she moved her body, lifted up her scattered hair, and tied it up.
The ambiguity continued, but Katarina did not skip the previous topic. She continued, "Seriously, if I'm not by your side, who will help you suppress the distortion?"

As she spoke, she analyzed as if she was asking and answering herself: "I think. Although Her Majesty Chujiu should be willing to help you and is extremely beautiful, she is a little cold in nature. You won't force it, so it probably won't work. Priest Nan? Well. Miss Nan is really beautiful, has a good figure, and won't reject you, so you should be able to do it."

"."

Ji Xun listened and said in his heart, "As expected."

When he heard this, he knew that the other party was going to tease him.

However, he also felt something was strange when Catalina mentioned Chujiu and Nanjing.

Although we are all good friends and I don’t think there is anything wrong with it, I haven’t thought about it too much.

The friendship between three people is much more important than any happiness.

That’s why it feels weird to mention it.

Catalina looked at Ji Xun's expression, and the smile on her face was like a beautiful rose blooming on her cheeks. She teased, "Ah, is the relationship between you and Priest Nan not that good?"

Ji Xun: "."

"Hahaha"

Catalina chuckled, of course she understood the desire in his eyes that was not caused by beauty.

She didn't say much, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject: "Oh, that's right. If you go to the East Desert, you can also go find Qiqi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene of the three of them drinking in New World Science and Technology City last time seemed to echo back to the past.

As the thought came to her mind, the hot and spicy scene lingered in her mind, and even this young lady from the Lionheart family felt her cheeks slightly hot.

Ji Xun caught the subtle changes in her expression and shot back, “What did you think of?”

Katarina held her chest high and did not avoid the absurd but still freshly remembered days. She only murmured, "I thought about it. I haven't been to the East Desert for a long time. I don't know when we can get together again. We can make an appointment then."

"."

Ji Xun knew that she was half joking, but she really cared about him.

Seeing the blush on that pretty face, he also felt the same way and smiled ambiguously: "Okay."

Catalina didn't pretend not to understand, she gave him a provocative look and said, "Okay."

Looking at each other, they both knew what they wanted to say.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became lively again.

Happy time always passes quickly.

Soon, the excitement returned to calm.

A kind of greedy and precious leisure suddenly filled the tent.

The two of them stood there, with Catalina helping Ji Xun tidy up his clothes face to face.

Ji Xun wanted to do it himself, but Catalina motioned for her to do it.

She tucked her shirt into her trousers first, then buttoned it up one by one from bottom to top, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on the collar.
At this moment, the young lady of the Lionheart family did not look like the Allied commander-in-chief who had been in a high position for a long time and was intimidating without being angry. Instead, she looked more like a gentle wife, carefully packing her husband's clothes for going out.

Catalina herself was still naked, and in the dressing mirror beside her, she saw her snow-white and straight figure.

Ji Xun watched with a slight smile on his face.

Beautiful times deserve to be treated gently.

Both of them enjoyed this rare leisure time.

While sorting out her clothes, Catalina said, "I can't leave the camp now, so I won't see you off this time."

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded, of course he understood and didn't care at all.

He's not that pretentious.

Catalina is the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces. Her safety affects not only one person, nor just the Lionheart family, but the entire Allied Forces.

And there was no need to explain their relationship. Catalina sighed inexplicably: "Ah, we have to say goodbye again. I don't know when we will see each other again."

Ji Xun: "Yes."

Catalina patted her clothes, checked the last detail, and reminded her, "Be careful."

Ji Xun: "You too."

Both the Eastern Wasteland and the Old Continent are in chaos. This separation always gives people an inexplicable sadness of not being able to see the future.

But both of them had calm tones and expressions.

Parting is looking forward to the next meeting, as if there is a bit of fun in it.

"done."

At this time, Catalina had already helped Ji Xun tidy up his clothes.

She looked him up and down, raised her eyebrows, and seemed very satisfied with her masterpiece. She said to herself: "This is my first time helping someone sort out their clothes. Not bad."

This Lionheart girl had been helped to dress by countless servants since she was a child, and this was the first time she helped a man to organize his clothes.

Ji Xun looked at the pretty face in front of him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Catalina raised her snow-white neck, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she said, "You can come to me anytime."

Ji Xun smiled brightly: "Okay."

(PS. This is the picture that the author has found that seems to be more suitable for Katarina. If you think there is a better one, please share it.)
at the same time.

East Desert, the City of Innocence.

In the temporary warehouse of the Iris Third Legion.

The warehouse was filled with a strong smell of steel.

A group of people were talking around a huge statue that was completely covered with black cloth.

Judging from the shape of the black cloth, this is a heavy-duty mecha.

If Ji Xun were here, just by looking at the appearance, he would be able to guess that this is a "Titan Armor".

Several dragon officers in the warehouse looked at the armor and frowned.

"Commander, do we really want to keep this mechanical armor? But if the Church finds out, it might be against the law."

"Yes, Captain. This thing is of no use to us. If we keep it, it will only lead to gossip. It is better to melt it directly."

"It is said that this thing is the secret weapon of the Talen royal family three thousand years ago. Its combat power is comparable to that of the eighth level, and it can even withstand the ninth level smelting. It's a bit of a pity."

"."

The staff officers were extremely cautious about the item covered in black cloth.

After all, in the southern continent, all mechanical technologies are "heresy and taboo".

Before the war broke out, Pope Polarante personally issued a ban prohibiting all military forces and individuals from possessing mechanical items. Once seized, they must be melted and destroyed on the spot.

So this is where they are in trouble.

Previously, they raided a secret base of the natives of the Eastern Wilderness and seized a large number of mechanical devices, including this "Titan Armor" that was still on the production line.

Logically, this should be destroyed immediately.

But now, Marshal Andrei Drolsky ordered the armor to be shipped back and placed in the warehouse of their Third Regiment.

This is where the difficulty lies.

Several people were discussing.

The middle-aged man wearing the legion commander's armor suddenly spoke.

This person was none other than the commander of the Third Knights of the Iris Legion, the veteran eighth-rank warrior "Blood Hero" Sharp.

Listening to his subordinates arguing, he stopped talking about the armor and said in a deep and solemn voice, "I just got the information that five days ago, a group of East Wasteland natives in the Shadowfang Fortress of the Old Continent successfully killed the leader of the Dragon Wing Viper Mercenary Group, "Poison Scythe" Zolas, with their mechanical army. Do you still think that the machines of these East Wasteland natives are not threatening? It is said that they were only using the first-level mechanical armor at that time, not this Titan armor."

Everyone present was a professional soldier, and they had certainly heard of the masters of those large mercenary groups.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Everyone's expression was shocked and surprised.

If it were before, even if they knew that this was a weapon of great killing that was comparable to a forbidden item, they would have destroyed it on the spot without hesitation.

But now, it's different.

The top brass had some other ideas in mind.

If I can kill the eighth level, then that means I can kill them too.

One machine may not pose a threat, but what about ten or a hundred machines?
They do have the absolute advantage of high-level card masters now, but the machines give them a sense of uncertainty and fear.

The future of this war has developed in a direction that these Dragonborn Knights could not have predicted.

Sharp personally led the team to destroy that secret mechanical factory.

He had seen the kind of production lines that could mass-produce mechanical armor, so he understood the threat better than anyone else.

He only saw the word "terrible" when he saw the manufacturing model that reproduced infinitely like insects.

When they failed to curb the development of Donghuang technology in the first place, it had actually become a fatal threat.

As professional soldiers, they need to have some understanding of mechanical armor, rather than treating it as a complete taboo and knowing nothing about it.

So this time, those things stayed.

Legion Commander Sharp continued, "What the Marshal meant is that leaving these things behind as bait should attract some of the East Wasteland's royal court masters to come snatch them. Then perhaps we can find direct clues to the Oran Royal Court and change the current deadlock."

This statement is also a trick.

This is a good excuse to use as bait. If it really gets out, there will be something to explain.

The Holy See may not cause trouble.

Moreover, according to the information we have received so far, the situation in the southern continent is also very bad, and the Holy See may not be able to hold on any longer.

the other side.

The location where the Nuggets Pier used to be.

The Iris Legion has built a mighty city here, named "The City of a Hundred Battles" after the title of General Andre, the Marshal of the Iris Legion.

The city is now completely different from what it was at the beginning. There are not only troops and mercenaries, but also a large number of ordinary residents. It is extremely prosperous.

Now various nobles in the southern continent are busy opening up new land in the old continent. As a marshal, Andre certainly has some ideas of his own.

The Red Dragon Royal Family had indeed summoned them back to fight before, but he had delayed until now on the grounds that the Silver Moon Sect in the East Wasteland needed to be guarded.

Because he saw the dilemma of the current civil war in the southern continent. It was a dispute between two dragon gods. Even the three major royal families would probably not have a good ending in the future.

In front of the dragon clan, even the dragon descendants are inferior creatures. Andre is very clear about this.

If I really go back, there is no point except being cannon fodder.

So instead of thinking about going back, he took advantage of the refugee crisis caused by the war and moved a large number of legion families to the Old World.

He is already a border marquis who holds real power, and he seems to be planning to establish a country in the Old Continent.

At the same time, on a hillside about ten miles outside the city, two men in cloaks were waiting for someone.

It was none other than Chujiu and Nanjing.

Not long after they arrived, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Ji Xun looked at the two of them and nodded: "Sorry for the wait."

Chujiu didn't say anything, Nan Jing said, "We just arrived too."

Ji Xun didn't say anything and got straight to business: "News just came from the East Wilderness, saying that the Third Legion of the Iris Legion attacked a secret base of the Orlan Royal Court. A batch of mechanical equipment was seized. Among them, there seemed to be a batch of production materials related to the 'Titan Armor', and even some semi-finished mechas, which should have been transported to the Innocence City. But I think there is something wrong with this news. It is very likely that it was deliberately leaked as a 'bait' by the people of the Southern Continent."

"."

Hearing this, Chujiu and Nanjing also looked serious.

The most important reason why they did not choose to use the teleportation array of the Alliance Army Headquarters to go to the Eastern Wilderness was because of this information.

The drawings and production materials of the Titan Armor are currently top secret information exclusively owned by King Arthur of the Oran royal family.

This is also a very important part of future mechanical technology.

I never had the chance to get them before, and I didn’t even know where they were hidden, but now I have a great opportunity!

The Iris Legion left this bait to target the Oran Royal Court.

Chujiu also wanted to solve the problem of the Oran Royal Court when he went to the East Wilderness this time, so the three of them could go and take a look.
