In a canyon three thousand kilometers to the west, the Golden Axe was attacked by four to five alien races. In the canyon's special terrain, the Golden Axe couldn't use its superior number of soldiers to cover up the enemies with a sea of people. At this time, the foreign races' familiarity with the geography and character, which was even more tenacious than human soldier's, finally showed their strengths.
Under Tyre's command, the Golden Axe divided the legion troops into a number of teams. Every team took turns to attack. When the forward team's spirit gradually faded, they would order them to retreat and follow the following team. Using this method, in the not-so-spacious canyon space, the golden battle axe still charged forward tenaciously. However, the process wasn't as smooth as they thought. The alien that was killed, when the soldiers passed over its corpse, would suddenly jump in and deliver a fatal blow. It was only when the soldiers behind them made another stab or shot that they actually killed these tenacious lives.
Under these circumstances, the soldiers had to allocate more time and energy to kill every single alien they saw, while at the same time guarding against death. Although in the Golden Axe there are specialized personnel to dissect the discovered aliens, analyze their physiological structures and identify their weaknesses.
However, they were of different races. Even if they were alien races with very similar territories, the structure of their bodies was as different as heaven and earth. Therefore, it was very difficult to find common weaknesses among the different races. And humans, as a large race, had obvious weaknesses. Their hearts and heads were almost identical, fatal points. A high-level esper might be able to modify their internal organs, making it difficult to kill them. However, there was almost no way left for the head. Once beheaded, even a powerhouse of the tenth step or above would have a hard time surviving.
And even if they survived, they would have to pay a huge price.
However, the non-humankind was different. They could have multiple hearts in their bodies, or their hearts could be wrapped in horny objects, making it difficult for them to pierce through with swords and spears. Even if their heads were chopped off, some races would be able to extend their fangs at their severed heads and form limbs that could allow them to quickly crawl for short distances. Once these non-humankind beings had escaped, as long as they absorbed enough nutrients, they would be able to regenerate their own bodies.
In this situation, facing more and more unimaginable alien races deep in the west, the Gold Axe's advancement was clearly difficult to accomplish.
Just as expected, other than hearing that Valkyrie and her sister were injured, the most important reason why Tyre came back this time was because the Asgard was able to send more soldiers to guide them. What Tyre meant was that he hoped that the Hammer of Destruction that was being led by Thunder God Sol would come out. Furthermore, with Badr's Shield of Dawn accompanying him, that would be for the best. Shield of Dawn not only specialized in defense, but some of Su's light attribute techniques could also help a soldier recover from his or her injuries in a short period of time.
It could be said that with the Shield of Dawn, the casualties among the soldiers would be minimized.
Originally, he could understand Tyre's thoughts. With the Hammer of Destruction which was good at attacking and the Shield of Dawn which was famous for its defense and defense, the Gold Axe had acquired the sword which was responsible for destruction, as well as the shield which was used to protect the side. Under the joint efforts of the three great legions, the alien's line of defense would be broken through in a short period of time.
As the leader of the western troops, Tyre had such a thought, but he had his own concerns too.
First of all, if the Asgard's Five Legions left three, it would leave a gap in their strength. Although the Hall of Heroic Spirits and the Dark Council were in a truce, if they received the news, it would be hard to be sure that as their old rival, Dark Council's Speaker, Ogrellok, would not suddenly attack them.
In fact, if only Valkyrie's lance with the dark blade tip remained. The strength of the Asgard was not enough to defend against the all-out attack of the Dark Council. Regardless of whether it was the number of high-ranked capable soldiers or the average number of soldiers, there was a large distance between them and the Knight of Blood.
Secondly, the Asgard is a semi-democratic city. Although Ben was the one in charge of the city, he was not the one who had the final say in everything. He had been especially decisive when it came to dispatching the other two legions. Below me, there is also a House which is composed of the nobles, politicians, merchants, and other representatives from various areas of the city, other than the Hall of Sovereigns.
The House can participate in major city decision-making and decide whether to approve the proposal by means of a referendum. Although he had the final say, public opinion was one of the reasons he could not help but worry about Su. After all, these people were the backbone of the Asgard.
Therefore, he could not make any promises to Tyre immediately, and could only promise to move this proposal onto the House's agenda as soon as possible.
Without a doubt, the power system of the Asgard made Ben unable to act as arbitrarily as Ogrellok, as if he was being restricted everywhere. However, although the Yongye City looked like Ogrellok was the only big boss, it was because the entire city was enveloped by the wings of Ogrellok and the other Dark Council. Once the Dark Council was weakened, the Yongye City would immediately descend into chaos, fighting for power.
But the Asgard was different, they had already considered this problem. It is convenient to concentrate power on individuals, but the foundations of the city are not secure enough. Release part of the power to involve some important people in the construction of the city. In addition to increasing their sense of belonging to the city, they could also guarantee that if they were not there, the city could still continue to operate under the leadership of the House.
Even though this would also bring about an upheaval in the transfer of power, the upheaval was, after all, contained within a relatively small area and would not affect the survival of the city.
This was the biggest difference between Ben and Ogrellok. He was willing to place a shackle around himself, so that his desire would not be unrestrained.
He had called his secretary, Zhu Li, to explain to her that he would need to draft a plan on Tyre's proposal, and send it to the House based on the priority ranking list, requesting the House to discuss this resolution as soon as possible. After Julie left, Ben opened his own personal intelligence brain, and a transparent screen rose from the edge of his desk. After a brief start, a working window appeared on the screen.
On the lowest level of the window, there was a flashing icon of a file, and above the icon, in red numbers, was the number of files. The documents were selected, classified and forwarded to Ben by the secretary, Julie, and required his approval today. The scope of the matter was very wide, from the funding for biochemical research, the materials for the new type of chariot, or the requirements for the construction of the city, as well as some new systems that had been negotiated and approved by the House.
In fact, Ben's day's work was quite cumbersome, and he had to deal with a wide range of issues. Moreover, his decision was related to the development of the Asgard. Thus, Ben worked more everyday than any other person in the city.
While he was engrossed in the documents, the icons of a head on the light screen suddenly flickered. It was a request for a video link. Ben placed his finger on the camera icon and a square box popped up. In the square frame, was Badr's smiling face.
Ben smiled back, clicked on the icon, and pressed the light button.
A rectangular window appeared in the middle of the screen, and in the middle of the window was a link progress bar. The progress bar was completed quickly, and in a flash, Badr's handsome face appeared.
The God of Light, Badr, was always that gentle appearance. If it was the old era, then
Badr's personality was undoubtedly the best. This handsome man was so gentle in appearance and heart that he had a kind of tolerance for things. Barts was just and merciful, and was well-loved in the Asgard. Unfortunately, he was in a new era of turmoil, and gentleness and benevolence were sometimes indecisive surrogate words. And Tyre, who was a resolute and courageous person, was more suited to be an era's pioneer and creator.
But all of this didn't stop Ben from liking the child on the screen. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? My child. "
"My dear father, please forgive me for wasting your precious time." Inside the window, the handsome God of Light said politely, "I have almost dealt with the Cossacks. Angelguet has entered into deep sleep, and other than a small amount of living corpse activity, the other beasts have already headed towards the wilderness in the southwest. The tip of Loki's Dark Blade had already confirmed that these strange creatures would not linger around the Julian Mountains. I will try to calm the effects of the strange creatures' swarm as soon as possible. However, there is one more thing that I have to trouble you with, Father. "
"Is it about zeros?" Ben asked casually.
"Yes." Badr nodded: "Previously, when we helped the wind walker's team leave the military base, Zero needed treatment due to severe injuries. Thus, his equipment is temporarily in our custody. Other than the mission item, which was found in the zero portable apparatus, there was also a copy of the experimental diary. I also found a very special weapon. It was a handgun, but my tech engineers couldn't analyze its structure. During the two days of zero hospitalization, my people analyzed the weapon without destroying it with the aid of the instrument, and concluded that its driving system was completely unlike the technology we currently possess. The technology that this cannon represents is one to two levels higher than ours. Its materials, structure, energy circuits, core systems and the like all have research value … "
Speaking to here, Badr wanted to say something but hesitated. He could already guess what the boy was thinking. Simply put, the cannon is currently in Badr's hands, and he wanted to use it as a research tool. And, judging from earlier spending on goods by the Treasury, zero has been discharged. Then, Zero would naturally ask Badr for the equipment. If it was any other person, then with Badr's identity, he could easily refuse.
But because of the relationship between Ben and Zero, the God of Light had no choice but to ask Ben for his opinion.
"Return that child's equipment, and don't ask how he obtained that weapon." "Then, in the name of the headquarters, issue a task for the recycling of the weapons. If you need money, he will hand the cannon over to you."
Badr's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had only said a few words, but it allowed him to understand the difference between what he had to do and what he had to do. He immediately nodded in agreement and cancelled his video call. After the window closed, Badr's words made him think of zero. Originally, he could remember that when Zero returned from the military base, it was not only with a weapon that made Badr extremely excited, there was also a woman.
A woman with the ability of at least the eighth step!
Chapter 271 - Rebirth Plan (V)
When the holographic projection of the sunlight shone into the five square metres or so of this small bedroom, Eva's head stuck out from behind the grey and white bedsheet. She half-closed her eyes, yawned, and lifted the sheet. Inside the bed sheet, it was a naked body. The sunlight shone down onto Eva's wheat colored skin, and as Eva got up from her bed, the sunlight shined down gradually.
It glided over the towering peaks, stopping briefly on a pair of bright red peaks before it continued to descend. The sunlight passed through its flat stomach, and finally arrived at the mysterious triangle region. The black forest only let it stay there for a moment, before it followed its smooth and long legs and landed at Eva's toes, and lastly stopped at the crystal jade toes.
Eva stretched, exposing her incomparably beautiful figure to the air. There were still a few droplets of lazy water hanging at the corners of his slightly narrowed eyes. At this moment, a series of whistles came from outside the window. Eva looked over, to see a dozen or so men in worker attire whistling loudly towards her. Their undisguised perverted gazes made Eva feel that they were in a good mood.
She was not an exposed madman, but had merely stayed in the underground space for two years, facing living corpse everyday who did not understand how beautiful or ugly she was. Even if Eva took off his clothes and walked around the base, he would not be treated like this. The man outside whistled excitedly, making Eva, who was inside, happy. She pulled the sheet over her vital parts and blew a kiss to the men outside the window.
Immediately, the whistling outside stopped, followed by the excited shouting of the men. Eva left the bedroom with a smile on her face and walked to the hall. She could still hear the men's jeers from outside.
The hall wasn't very spacious, only around ten square meters. Compared to the medical center that Eva herself occupied underground, the area here was pitifully small. But Eva felt very good about herself. Whether it was the old radio on the table, the green daisies stuck in a bottle, the patched up sofa, or the oil painting by an unknown painter that was hanging on the wall, all these made Eva feel special.
That feeling was something that could only be described as a writer, so although the house was small, Eva liked it.
This was the house that Feng and the others rented, and Eva liked it immediately. After Feng left, Eva sold the Gemini to the Asgard's underground merchants. Regardless of whether it was actual use or research, the Gemini was extremely valuable. At the very least, for cities or organizations in the wilderness, to be able to obtain semi-finished chemical weapons like the Gemini was enough for them to leave a thick mark on the city's development history.
Because of this, Eva obtained a lot of data coins that could be used to travel to Asgard. However, the owner did not tell Eva that she, the black sheep, could only stay in Asgard for a week. According to the laws of the Asgard, when Eva was forced to leave the city, the house would belong to the owner.
Eva, who found out the truth afterwards, almost killed the house owner. This is a later story, for the time being.
Furthermore, when Eva came to the hall, she was in a good mood as she hummed to herself while beginning to fill the bathtub in her little bathroom with warm water. Although warm water was expensive, Eva didn't mind taking a hot bath everyday to enjoy life. She had already decided to stay by Zero's side and pay attention to her potential companion's growth. Therefore, Eva planned to find a job in the city.
With her talent, even if she didn't join the army, she would have more than enough money to become a biological or biochemical researcher. It was just that she, who was currently unaware of the Asgard system, did not understand that it was impossible for a hoodlum like her to find a job in a city, let alone a mid-ranked researcher.
When the bathtub was filled with warm water, Eva threw the bed sheets under the sofa in the hall. Just as she stepped into the bathroom, she heard a voice from outside: "Miss Eva, it's me, Zero. May I ask if you are in?"
Eva sighed exaggeratedly, she walked to the door and opened it for Zero in a few steps, then ran into the bathroom and said, "You can sit for a while, wait for me to finish my shower first."
As soon as he entered the door, he caught sight of Eva's beautiful back view. Be it her smooth and pink back or her perky bottom, both of them exuded an extremely alluring charm. Zero's temperature rose a little, but that was it. He walked over to the sofa and sat down. In his ears, he heard the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, as well as Eva's satisfied cry.
Zero was wearing an ordinary set of plain clothes, which were originally Feng's clothes. Feng's figure was similar to him, so wearing his clothes would suit him. Due to the fact that Zero had yet to officially report to Doomhammer's headquarters, he had yet to have his own uniform. He had already completed the discharge procedures last night, so he left the hospital early this morn
ing. He first went to the Asgard's Treasury to receive a loan for the approval. As he had listened to Ben's suggestions, he planned to take Victor and Lea's blood samples to the Asgard for his rebirth plan. Thus, the loan was converted into his own data currency for use in the Asgard.
Zero felt that he had a lot of things to do. First, he needed to report to the Legion headquarters, and second, he needed to find a suitable place to carry out his rebirth plan. Finally, he went to the Angry Reef City and took Victor over. But before these things, Zero wanted Eva's permission even more so, for her to stay in the Asgard as his slave. If Eva agreed, then he could complete the relevant procedures today.
After 9 minutes and 07 seconds, the sound of the door opening came out from the bathroom, followed by Eva who was wrapped in a towel walking out. She went straight to the refrigerator in the corner of the living room and took out a can of luncheon meat. Then she cut the lid with her fingers and popped a piece of it into her mouth with two fingertips. Of course, there were mutated cattle and sheep in the Asgard for food processing, but the finished products were very expensive and only available to the upper echelons.
No matter how rich Eva was, he wouldn't be able to buy such high-grade goods without his status and position. What she was eating was not cheap, it was three times the price of fresh bread. However, the meat inside was imitated using artificial fibers. It tasted no different from real meat pieces, but it tasted much worse. Because of the lack of animal muscle fiber, it did not have any elasticity and toughness when eaten, and was almost transformed when eaten.
But even so, not everyone could afford a can of lunch. But look at Eva's refrigerator, it was filled to the brim with at least one floor. It was one of the food that had been bought for the rest of the house, along with artificial milk, biscuits, and some chocolates. Although these things were not cheap, the price of the Gemini was even more expensive. As a result, Eva became the defeated dog queen, and the remaining money turned into food for her.
