Bulwark of Light

Chapter 597 Mission Objective: Alive
Xizhou, Bright City.

The brilliance of the sunset lingers and fills the temple. The majestic statue of the sun above the head stands on the top of the holy mountain. Under the statue, there is a holy judge who worships all day long. He is grateful for the light brought by this great god to Xizhou.

Not far from the temple is the side hall that enshrines the "Power of Blessing".

These side halls are full of taboo sealed items of Xizhou, blessing steles, and a wishing and praying pool has been built outside the halls to carry ordinary wishes.

Sincerity leads to spirit.

Lord God can listen to the voices of the people of Xizhou. As long as you come here and bring your wish, you may get the "God's favor".

In addition, the high priest in charge of prayer and preaching in the Legion of the Holy Inquisitor will bring tribute regularly to maintain the tranquility of cleaning the shrine.

The Divine Seat of Light, on the other hand, will descend from time to time, and in the shrine of the side hall, give advice to the holy inquisitors and ordinary believers.

In the shrine today.

The burning incense produced thick black smoke.

The priest who was praying at the side looked pale. He insisted on reciting the holy scriptures, but the thick smoke lingered in the hall, even covering the last ray of light at sunset... This is the land of sunset, the mountain of eternal day, With the protection of the power of the throne, no real darkness has been ushered in for hundreds of years.

But at the moment.

The hall was darker than ever before.

"Clap!"

In the blessing shrine, a tablet suddenly fell down!

"what!"

This sudden scene frightened the believers serving on the side to exclaim.

The priest's lips were dry, and his face was blank. Looking at the shrine that was no longer bright at the moment, he felt a great ominous feeling in his heart. tablet.

Then a shrill and terrified voice resounded through the hall.

"The soul of the Blessed Son is broken!"

……

……

Doru River disaster.

The sound of thunder resounded through the sky.

Lin Lin stood up. He began to put on the source armor and was ready to go. As a commander, his job task was to ensure the smooth operation, and the captains of all parties could form a match under the coordination of the spiritual network.

But now... the link of the spiritual network has been declared broken.

The main control boat has become an isolated island.

The commander also completely lost his due role.

A powerful hand rested on his shoulder.

"Forest."

Osmond asked in a deep voice, "Are you leaving the main control boat?"

"Your Excellency Osmond, forgive me for not being able to wait any longer."

Lin Lin's voice was very resolute: "During this period of time, there is no sign of repairing the rupture of the spiritual network... Obviously, the [Deep Sea] connection point we laid earlier has been destroyed. Just wait like this, we can still wait until What, the corpse of a comrade?"

Yes.

It's been a tough wait.

After Lu Zhe set off, no team sent back a message.

The twelve teams all disappeared at the end of the branch of the Doru River... and the Black Snow Mountain at the end of the disaster seemed to burst out with a violent concussion sound. The disconnected main control boat could not receive any messages, and A "commander" in this state is equivalent to a blind man.

Can't see, can't hear.

"On the battlefield, there will be a position for the general, and the position for the king... Exploring the Doru River is what the captain should do. As the commanders of the restart mission, what you and I have to do is to command the boat. You do Before making a decision, did you ever think that if you leave the main control boat, the communication is restored, the captain returns, and the commander is missing, then the operation will suffer a greater blow?"

Osmond looked straight into Lin Lin's eyes.

"..."

Lin Lin was speechless.

He gritted his teeth: "Your Excellency, can't you notice that something unexpected has happened in this disaster... Those captains are likely to be in danger."

The sound of thunder in the distant sky seemed to tear the sky apart.

Under such circumstances, being trapped in the main control boat is really a desperate thing.

"I've seen your file."

Osmond stared at the young man in front of him with his single eye, and said slowly: "During the stay at Gubao, I encountered storms of various sizes seven times, and other chaotic sources attacked nineteen times. Every time, you are the first The 'pioneers' who rushed up, even if they became the fortress masters, are still the same, I have carefully read the specific records in the file for every battle, and I can review the situation at that time at any time."

Lin Lin was silent.

Over the years...he has experienced so many battles that he can't remember clearly.

The eye of the legion, unexpectedly remembered in the heart.

"As the garrison of the fortress, there is nothing wrong with riding first. Because behind you is the homeland of all mankind. For people like us, being able to die on the huge wall is the best ending."

Osmond said: "But this is not a huge wall, and the 'enemy' we are facing is not a storm. This is not a problem that you can solve by putting on the source armor, rushing out of the main control boat, and fighting with a knife...you Do you not trust the captains chosen by Her Majesty the Empress? Or do you believe too much in your own abilities?"

These words left Lin Lin speechless.

He fell completely silent.

"Your Mightiness……"

After a long time, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, looking at a dark screen. The lights in the main control boat were warm, but after the deep sea link was disconnected, the dead warm light made people feel chilly...

Lin Lin's voice was a little hoarse, and said, "I...don't want to just stay here and do nothing."

"Oh, I almost forgot one thing."

Osmond's eyes became gentler, and he said slowly: "The only battle that you didn't fight in person was the 'Storm Counterattack' not long ago, right?"

The greatest catastrophe that has ever befell the Castle.

Lin Lin was infected with mental toxin and was unable to fight in person.

For a general who is used to reuniting on the front line, this is a great loss and an irreparable regret.

"Um……"

For Lin Lin, participating in this restart mission is more like a negotiation.

Most people here don't know his real identity.

After returning to Central City, Lin Lin had a brief conversation with his elder brother Zhuxue...Under the pressure of his family's will and the situation in Beizhou, he knew that there were some things that he could not choose.

He is likely to stay in Central City, announce his royal status, and then become an "important pawn" to stabilize the situation.

This means that he cannot garrison Gubao.

Once the identity of the royal family is announced, Lin Lin's life trajectory can be predicted. Next, he will go to the most excellent universities in Central Continent for further studies, marry with Guangming City, and then try his best to gain "general momentum" for the Lin family.

These are all very good.

But he just didn't like it.

So there is the conversation with my sister on the second floor of the castle.

He expressed his truest thoughts, but his sister sitting on the throne did not say a word, but just listened quietly.

Finally, he came here.

Lin Lin didn't pass the selection, so he directly joined this heavyweight special operation as a "commander". In fact, his mood was not relaxed, but rather complicated.

Because he didn't know the real intention of his sister's arrangement.

This might be his last fight.

This mission is very important to the fate of Beizhou. If he messes it up, he has no choice but to stand up and give up his life even if it is for the family.

But if the task goes well and he proves his "talent", maybe his sister will "lend the net".

"Do not worry."

Osmond's voice was still gentle, and he patted the young man on the shoulder: "The danger is hidden in the fog, and we still don't know who the enemy is. The only thing we can do now is to 'wait'."

In a chess game, if you want to win, the best way is not to move forward rashly.

Instead wait.

Grasp the intelligence, clear the fog, calm the layout, and finally... wait for the enemy to make mistakes!
Lin Lin also calmed down at this moment.

He breathed out a foul breath, and apologized: "I'm sorry... I was impulsive."

"young people."

Osmond smiled disapprovingly, leaned his back against the table, lit a cigar, and handed it to Lin Lin.

The two just looked at the fuzzy black snow mountain in the distance.

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, a crisp arc sound sounded, and at this moment, there seemed to be a short-term fluctuation in the spiritual network!

The two turned around abruptly.

A face is reflected on the main screen.

Osmond bit his cigar, took a big puff of smoke, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Fischer, what happened!"

However, the image that Fisher sent back at this moment was very blurry.

It seems to be a high mountain mausoleum, the top of the mountain is covered with mist, and the highest point is a high-hanging pitch-black [door], and countless sharp black shadows emerge from the [door].

next moment.

The image disappears.

This link has been completely removed.

The old and the young looked at each other, seeing the shock and astonishment in each other's eyes.

Although it's only one second...but the amount of information is huge enough.

The overwhelming "black shadows" are all extraordinary creatures!

"That came out of the [door], [Old World]...is there really something alive?"

Osmond's voice trembled a little.

There is confusion and worry, but more excitement.

He has been stationed in the fortress for decades, and has carried out countless missions out of the fortress. What he wants to verify most, besides the specific location of the oasis, is whether the [Old World] creatures exist!
……

……

On the top of the mountain, the black gate hangs high.

The seven transcendents of the deep scale team stood on the top of the mountain, silently looking at the overwhelming black shadows in front of them.

During this time, they were trapped by thick fog.

Walked around, but seemed to be still in place, and finally returned to the [door].

Then, they saw a "scene" that they had never imagined in this life——

When they found the bones, they had a certain degree of psychological precautions. Perhaps in the disaster area of ​​the Doru River, there were "supernatural beings" of unknown origin.

But they never thought about it.

These extraordinary creatures... There are so many of them.

Hundreds, thousands, and the number is still increasing... These black shadows, slender and slender, ignited fire-like vertical pupils in the black mist, and hit the sky like a strong and vigorous falcon, making a sharp howling sound .

Even more scalp-tingling.

from a distance.

"They" seem to have a human-like face!
Fisher looked at the "birdmen" Gao Tianshang was mediating with a blank expression.

He has tried many times to connect with the main control boat, trying to transmit the scene he saw back to the main boat, but because of the broken signal, he doesn't know if he has succeeded in so many attempts.

But luckily...

As the things behind the [door] continued to pour out, the thick fog seemed to dissipate a lot.

He could already see the approximate return direction.

"Deep scale team, prepare to return, return to the 'main boat'."

Fisher pulled out his long knife and said word by word: "Everyone remember, there is only one mission objective—"

"Alive."
