Creed of the heavens

"I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but first let me talk about that weapon of war you mentioned not long ago."

Lu Xiao's expression became serious: "What exactly did the Eclipse Sect dig up?"

There was a hint of fear in Olin's eyes. He took a deep breath to control his emotions before he said: "According to the information obtained by the Eclipse Cult, that huge machine is called the Messenger of Death, and it is a killing weapon made by the ancients."

Lu Xiao frowned slightly: "How do you know it's an ancient killing weapon?"

Olin shook his head: "I didn't know at first, but on the day the messenger of death was dug out, a mysterious person who claimed that the Eclipse Cult deviated from his original intention told me the news."

Lu Xiao asked thoughtfully: "The founder of the Eclipse Cult, is he a human being with a physical existence or... a machine?"

"It's human."

Olin said affirmatively: "At least I don't think his well-defined words can be spoken by a machine. Sirius must have met him."

'person? '

Lu Xiao frowned tightly. He originally thought that Hades, the distorted artificial intelligence, was manipulating behind the Eclipse Cult, but the situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Chapter 450 Mysterious Sage

Lu Xiao learned a lot of information about the Eclipse Cult from Ou Lin, including the exact time when the cult was established, as well as the identities of the leader and most of the top executives.

The leader of the Eclipse Cult is none other than Sirius, and all the senior members of the church are old-school nobles and priests who fled to Sunset Castle with Bahava and Sirius.

When the mad king Geelong was in power, the Kingdom of Calgar still maintained slavery, and spent a lot of manpower and resources to build a majestic arena in Sunset Fort.

The original intention of the arena was to please the nobles, and let the nobles get exciting pleasure through the cruel fight between humans and machines.

After Yavid came to power, slavery was abolished and the arena was closed, which offended many nobles.

These nobles followed Bahavar and Sirius all the way after they fled, and now they are entrenched in Sunset Fort, continuing to enjoy the fresh excitement brought to them by the arena.

"What kind of person can make that wild Sirius do what he says?"

Lu Xiao touched her chin in confusion: "Isn't it the shadow of the Calgar people's belief system?"

Olin nodded: "The shadow does exist. It is said that he is possessed by an ancient machine, and has been urging Shadow Calga to vigorously excavate ancient ruins and metal demons."

Ou Lin roughly understood Lu Xiao's doubts, and explained to him in detail: "You probably confused the identities of the two people behind the scenes."

"Shadow is the biggest backer and belief of the Eclipse Cult, and it is still active behind the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calgar."

"But there used to be an unknown mysterious person under the shadow. It was he who connected the shadow and Sirius and helped Sirius establish the Eclipse Cult that believed in the shadow."

"According to the eclipse believers, the sage drifted away after the establishment of the sect, and his whereabouts have never been found again."

After Ou Lin's explanation, Lu Xiao's thinking immediately straightened out.

The so-called Shadow Eight Achievements are Hades in disguise. There was a mysterious person who once connected Hades and Sirius and assisted them in founding the Eclipse Cult.

The purpose of the mysterious person is unknown, and he disappeared completely after the establishment of the Eclipse Cult.

Lu Xiao speculated that this person probably knew too much and was silenced by Hades.

A person who can be called a sage by Sirius is by no means an ordinary person. In the eyes of Hades, this kind of easy-to-use person is definitely not as easy to control as Sirius, who is a soldier.

After the official establishment of the Eclipse Sect, it became a matter of course to kill donkeys.

'But is the mysterious sage really dead?Or did he escape Hades' conspiracy and quietly hid in a certain place to secretly observe the changes in the situation? '

Let alone a peripheral member like Olin, even Sirius might not know the answer to this question.

"Next question."

Lu Xiao looked at Ou Lin and asked, "When will the Eclipse Cult and Shadow Calgar plan to attack Calgar?"

Olin thought for a while before making a guess: "It should not exceed three months at the latest. The Eclipse Cult has collected a large number of ancient war weapons. As long as the shadow hiding behind Sirius judges that the time is right, they can launch a large-scale attack at any time." attack."

"With all due respect, the elite soldiers of Meridian City and the artisans of O'theran provide powerful weapons."

"But wanting to defeat a large number of ancient weapons controlled by the Eclipse Cult...I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Calgar Kingdom undoubtedly has the upper hand in terms of total military strength and logistical supplies, but the war machines and corrupted mechanical beasts mastered by the Eclipse Cult are the trump card of Shadow Calgar.

Olin told all the information he knew without reservation, including the whole story of his first meeting with Aloy.

The meeting between Orin and Eloy was just a coincidence, but this coincidence triggered an inevitable follow-up development.

Hades, who was hiding behind the Eclipse Cult, recognized "Elizabeth Sobek" as the highest-level threat the moment she saw her, and ordered the Eclipse Cult to kill her at all costs.

With the help of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, Ailoy escaped smoothly.

Although Sirius wanted to continue chasing Aloy, but because of the fire in the rear due to the public opinion war, he couldn't take time off for the time being. Aloy took the opportunity to destroy one of the Eclipse Cult's bases with Sona.

Olin's value has come to an end here.

Under Lu Xiao's reminder, Yavid strengthened the security in the city in advance, but there will definitely be shadow Calgar spies who have already sneaked into the city.

Orin is a traitor to the Eclipse Cult. Once Sirius finds out that he has returned to Meridian City, he will definitely order the spies in the city to get rid of him and his family.

After telling Lu Xiao the information they knew, Ou Lin and his wife prepared to seek refuge in the remote countryside.

"In that case."

Lu Xiao gave the two of them a choice: "You might as well take shelter in my base and return to live in Meridian City after all the dust settles."

The location of Vault 53 is very hidden. As long as the crack at the entrance is blocked, it is almost impossible for the Eclipse Cult to discover this buried ruin.

In addition, Aletheia's subroutine is in charge of coordinating the base. Once the base is attacked, Lu Xiao will get the news as soon as possible, and can rush back to support at any time, just in time to destroy the Eclipse Sect.

Ou Lin discussed with his wife and decided to accept Lu Xiao's kindness.

After the Olin family prepared the necessary logistical materials for living underground, Lu Xiao activated the teleportation technique to send the three of them directly to shelter No. 53, and handed them over to Aletheia's subroutine to take care of them.

……

In the Chamber of Meridian City Royal Palace, Yavid frowned deeply after hearing the information that Lu Xiao relayed.

"A mechanical army? With the current strength of the Calgar Kingdom, it is really difficult to block the impact of a large number of machines."

The situation has developed to the point where it is no longer a question of whether Yavid wants to fight, but that he has to prepare for the battle in advance.

"Lu Xiao, I heard about Olin, do you have a way to quietly weaken the fighting power of Shadow Calgar and Eclipse Cult?"

Yavid looked at Lu Xiao expectantly: "Even if it's just a little bit, at least it can hit the fighting will of those traitors."

"Um……"
