Accompanied by the noises of complex drive shafts and mechanical joints moving rapidly through the deep and winding passages, a series of oil-burning vehicles loaded with supplies, connected end to end, completed 90-degree sharp turns without any hindrance and easily crossed the concave and uneven areas on the ground.
Because these so-called "cars" actually do not have even a single tire, they all rely on a mechanical arm support structure like a centipede to move.
The reason why it is designed like this is very simple.
Whether it is the ice layer on the surface or the complex tunnels in the underground world, neither of them can be passed normally by traditional wheeled vehicles.
The former can lead to severe skidding, while the latter can cause the vehicle to get stuck or overturn due to the complex terrain and very steep and narrow passages.
Only this kind of thin, long, and flexible means of transportation can move quickly and unimpeded.
In particular, the complex mechanical limbs can not only break the ice to prevent slipping, but also use the walls of the underground tunnel as support points to cross obstacles such as deep pits and underground rivers.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes and experienced it for several consecutive days, the members of the expedition would never have believed that a journey that would have taken them half a month or even a month could be completed in less than twenty hours.
You don't even have to worry about attacks from monsters, beasts, and looters in the darkness along the way.
Because if the opponent dares to get close, those extremely sharp mechanical limbs at the ends will pierce him to death without mercy, often cutting the whole person in half in one go.
"This is simply the easiest, most comfortable and safest surface expedition I have ever experienced in my life. With these means of transportation, we can even try to establish contact and trade with other settlements and cities around us."
The team leader gently stroked the fully automatic operating system and electronic screen in the cab, his eyes filled with deep shock that could not be described in words.
Because he doesn't even need to do anything now, just tell the machine which direction to go, and the rest can be completely left to the control system.
You have to know that since humans entered the underground world, basically everything including food, medicine, clothing, daily necessities, etc. has been in short supply. But if you want to find out the most lacking key thing, everyone will say four words without hesitation: "transportation."
Although at the beginning, residents of each city carried a large number of vehicles and excavators, fuel, batteries, and power generation equipment.
But as time goes by, the oil is quickly consumed in less than a few years, the power generation equipment and batteries are gradually scrapped, and ultimately they can only rely on cattle, horses and other livestock that have adapted to the dark environment.
This means that the connection between gathering places is strictly limited to the upper limit of the food supplies carried, which is just a few days.
Because people and livestock need food and water.
Most areas of the underground world are desolate and silent, and it is impossible to replenish these from the outside.
Therefore, a large city that masters some technology is often used as the center, radiating to villages and towns of all sizes in the surrounding areas.
The latter provides the former with food, meat and other agricultural products, while the former provides the latter with the tools necessary for production and necessities including salt.
This is why all cities will form expedition teams to go to the surface to plunder supplies.
Whether it is steel products or salt that is essential for human survival, as well as medicines that can cure diseases in prosperous times, they are all extremely rare and precious to the people living in the underground world.
Unless there happens to be an iron mine, salt mine or coal mine near the gathering place, the only way is to transport it bit by bit in this way similar to that of ants moving.
When they set out from Shisun City, the team relied on several mutated cows, but when they arrived at an area with temperatures close to below zero, they killed them and turned them into pieces of meat to carry with them as food.
"All of this is a gift from the great Dark Prince. We must always be in awe and grateful."
The older woman sitting in the passenger seat suddenly raised her head and interrupted the team leader's imagination of the future.
The latter's face changed instantly, and he immediately agreed with a smile: "That's right! We should all be grateful and remember our mission. We must spread God's faith and salvation to every corner of the underground world. Only in this way can we be worthy of his generosity and grace."
The woman glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Just remember this. If one day you abandon your faith or lose yourself in power and wealth and become lazy about preaching, I will chop off your head without waiting for the great Dark Prince to punish you personally."
Hearing the naked and undisguised threat, the team leader felt his scalp tingling.
He knew very well that the woman next to him was an absolute fanatic who had firmly believed in the existence of gods in the world before she met Graya.
Now that he had witnessed the power of the Dark Prince with his own eyes, he naturally gave his all without hesitation. Along the way, he was instilling doctrines to others, as if he was going to be the future leader of the church.
Especially those young people who are easily instigated began to unite around him to form a terrifying force.
Add to that the incredible divine arts and magic, and even the nobles of Shisun City would probably find it hard to resist if they acted deliberately or unintentionally.
Thinking of this, the team leader took a deep breath and cleared the little calculation in his mind, then asked seriously: "What do you think we should do after we return this time? You know, if we suddenly bring so many supplies and transportation back, those nobles will definitely get suspicious."
"Humph! So what? We are the apostles of the great Prince of Darkness. If they are sensible, they will immediately accept the gift and become believers. If they dare to resist, it would be disrespectful to God, and they will all be killed without a single one left alive."
As she said this, a creepy fierce light flashed in the woman's eyes, and it was obvious that she was not joking.
Because as she gained a deeper understanding of the Shadow Weave, she had gradually realized how great the power and potential she and others possessed were.
To put it bluntly, with the limited armed forces in the hands of the nobles of Shisun City, as long as the members of the expedition team gathered together and cast a round of spells, the enemy's morale would collapse in minutes and they would flee in all directions.
After all, the barren environment of the underground world cannot support too many non-working people like professional soldiers, and the treatment is not that good, just enough to get enough to eat. In addition, superstition is prevalent, and once they see supernatural magic and divine arts, they will definitely fall into fear.
"Damn it! Are you crazy? Many people will die. His Highness the Prince of Darkness requires us to spread our faith and inspire more believers to save mankind from destruction and despair."
The team leader was obviously frightened by the madness of the crazy woman in front of him.
As the oldest person in the entire expedition team, he was born in Shisun City and has deep feelings for this place. He also knows how fragile the ruling and economic structures of this city are.
Once order is lost and chaos breaks out, the already small population may be halved.
"Why, do you have any better idea?"
The woman stared at the other person's dim eyes with a smile.
"Anyway, leave it to me first. If I fail, it won't be too late for you to stir up a bloody storm."
After hesitating for a moment, the team leader couldn't help but take charge of the matter.
"Very good, then I will look forward to your performance. Don't forget that the great Dark Prince is watching our every move."
After saying that, the woman stopped paying attention to the other person and began to close her eyes and rest.
After traveling for about two or three hours, the long convoy finally arrived at a large open space. From afar, many star-like lights could be vaguely seen.
Those are lights powered by hydroelectric generators.
There is a thick reinforced concrete wall right in front of us, and not far away there is an underground river. The rushing water flows by, providing sufficient water for a large pasture covered with moss and fungi.
Herds of cattle and sheep are eating these foods leisurely.
The people in charge of taking care of the sensory livestock stood there, staring in amazement at these giant centipede-like vehicles, and they lost the ability to speak.
However, compared to his reaction, the soldiers standing on the wall raised their weapons nervously and shouted loudly: "Stop! This is Shisun City! Who are you?"
"Hey, guys! Don't you even recognize me?"
The team leader pushed open the car door and jumped out. He stood where the light could reach and waved his hand in a relaxed manner.
"Oh my God! Oris, where did you get these big guys? No! Calculating the time, you shouldn't be back for at least another month and a half. Also, why has your skin become so dark?"
The leading officer obviously recognized this man who was a household name in Shisun City, and immediately raised his arm to signal his men to put down their weapons.
After all, the expedition leader's social status is much higher than that of a "watchdog".
The entire city, from the nobles to the common people, must maintain the minimum respect for him.
Otherwise, once you get sick, you may not even be able to buy some life-saving medicine.
"Something unexpected happened, I'm not in a position to elaborate. Anyway, open the door and let us in. You know, we may have brought back thousands of tons of supplies this time, and it's not safe to leave them outside."
The leader, known as Oris, deliberately pretended to be proud.
"What? Thousands of tons! Did you make a fortune this time? According to the 15% profit the expedition team can get, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life."
The officer's eyes revealed unconcealable envy and jealousy.
"Hey, okay, stop talking nonsense and open the door and let us in. You know, the nobles in the parliament are still waiting for my good news."
After saying that, Oris threw the bottle of wine in his hand directly up from below.
The officer took it very skillfully, unscrewed the lid, tilted his head back and took a sip. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Great wine! Quick, open the city gate and let our heroes in. With these supplies, we will be able to live a lot more comfortably in the next few months."
Soon, accompanied by the creaking sound of the winch, the heavy door finally rose slowly.
Without saying a word, Oris returned to the oil truck and directed these large vehicles to pass quickly, and finally stopped at the square only a step away from the core area.
Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the residents in the city.
In just ten minutes or so, the square was filled with dense crowds of people.
Some skinny poor people and children stared at the goods secured with ropes and tarpaulins.
If there weren't some soldiers armed with weapons maintaining order here, they would definitely rush up and loot.
Because for a group of people who are hungry, quality, etiquette, shame, and dignity are all empty words. The only real thing is food that can fill their stomachs.
In fact, the reason they gathered here was to see if they could pick up some residue that fell on the ground when unloading the goods.
"Alas - these poor children are so pitiful. Let's take out some food and share it with them later."
Looking at those children who were so thin that they were almost skin and bones, Rebecca couldn't help but reveal a trace of pity in her eyes.
"Don't worry, the Supreme True God has come, and it won't be long before they are freed from their suffering with the grace of the Prince of Darkness." Another female member whispered comfortingly.
"Can I really ignore the cold and not have to eat if I gain the Shadow Physique?"
Rebecca looked up and down at her teammate's dark complexion and slightly weird pupils with a slightly curious look.
After all, except for her, everyone in the entire expedition team had devoted their faith and accepted the shadow physical transformation.
The female member smiled and explained, "Didn't you notice that when we were on the surface, we didn't wear those thick warm clothes? As for not having to eat, of course it's impossible, but the demand for food and water has indeed been reduced a lot.
Even if you don't eat or drink for a few days, you won't feel hungry or weak.
Because we can already draw energy from the Shadow Weave to survive.
That is why we firmly believe that the great Prince of Darkness will help all mankind escape from suffering and despair and enter a new era.”
"To escape from suffering and despair..."
Rebecca subconsciously glanced at the cathedral in the distance that was out of tune with the surrounding low houses, and her eyes revealed strong disgust and hatred.
Just as she wanted to continue asking about the feeling after gaining the Shadow Physique, a slightly fat old man in the distance squeezed through the crowd and came to the square with a dozen guards who were better equipped.
Upon seeing this, the team leader, Oris, immediately stepped forward, placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply: "Welcome, Honorable Speaker Bran."
"Are these the gains from your exploration?"
The old man called Speaker Bran's eyes lit up instantly, and he walked straight to a gasoline truck and motioned his followers to open it and take a look.
The latter hurriedly took out a dagger and cut the fixed rope, took down a heavy bag from above, then cut a small hole and grabbed a handful of white crystals from it.
The old man pinched a little and put it in his mouth. He immediately exclaimed with his eyes wide open: "It's sweet! It's candy! How could you get so much candy?"
You have to know that since entering the underground world, most people have completely bid farewell to sweetness.
Since sugarcane and beets cannot be grown here, and there are no flowers or honey, if you want to eat sweets, you can only rely on expeditions to search the surface world. Each time, you can only bring back about ten kilograms at most, which is an absolute top luxury.
Only the ruling class at the top of society has the opportunity to enjoy it, and even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it.
But now, there is a whole trailer filled with forty or fifty bags, and each bag weighs at least fifty kilograms.
In the next few minutes, Speaker Bran quickly inspected the other trailers behind the oil truck and found that they had almost everything from food to condiments, indispensable salt, and priceless power generation equipment.
There are even various types of medicines that are most in short supply in this city.
In particular, he himself urgently needs a specific medicine to treat heart disease.
"Incredible! This is incredible! Tell me what happened? Where did you find so many rare and precious materials? And what about these strange means of transportation?"
The old man swallowed a few pills as if possessed to stabilize his overwhelmed heart, and then he stuck his head into the cab, where he saw the high-tech electronic touch screens at a glance.
Unlike the lower classes of society that had long since lost their knowledge and historical heritage, he and his family were high-ranking bureaucrats of the Refugee Committee, and they had preserved many books and notes from those days, so they knew very well that even in the prosperous era, humans had not produced such things.
"Are you sure you want me to say this here?"
Team leader Oris asked back in a low voice pretending to be mysterious.
moment!
Speaker Bran turned around and glanced at the nobles who came with him. He seemed to understand something and immediately ordered, "Follow me! Not only you, but also the other members of the expedition team."
"As you wish..."
Oris agreed without hesitation.
While everyone else's attention was firmly drawn to the supplies being unloaded in the square, the expedition team, as the greatest contributor, quietly followed Speaker Bran into the inner city area where only nobles and their servants could approach.
After settling the others, the old man took the team leader to the study alone and personally poured him a glass of wine he found on the surface world: "Now you can tell me what exactly we encountered on this trip to the surface world. Especially the strange skin color of you and your team members."
"We actually encountered a god."
As soon as Oris opened his mouth, he threw out a trump card.
"god?"
Speaker Bran was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you referring to the god who brings the Last Judgment as described in the book of Revelation?"
Ollis quickly shook his head: "No, of course not.
The god we encounter calls himself the Prince of Darkness.
Not only did he reveal to us the truth about the destruction of this world, but he also gave us magical powers, as well as the supplies and means of transportation that he brought back.
The most important thing is that we all witnessed with our own eyes how he used his divine power to create a warm and comfortable area on the icy surface world.
Anyone who steps in will immediately feel as if they have entered some kind of incredible barrier.
There’s even plenty of greenery and colorful flowers.”
"What? Are you sure this isn't a joke, or did you accidentally take some hallucinogenic mushrooms or drugs?"
Speaker Bran frowned subconsciously, obviously not believing this.
"I assure you that this has nothing to do with hallucination. If you don't believe me, I can show you a little bit."
Dark red blood instantly flowed out, dripping onto the ground.
Just when the old man was puzzled by this act of self-mutilation, the team leader instantly used his priest level to release a most basic zero-ring divine spell [Heal Minor Injuries].
Even though this divine spell is quite insignificant in the continent of Faerun, even priest apprentices and other divine spellcasting professions can cast it easily. At best, it can only make high-level professionals feel a little uncomfortable.
But in fact, for ordinary people, this is enough to make them step half into the gate of hell.
Because converted into numerical values, [Cause Minor Injury] can cause a little negative energy damage, while ordinary civilians only have two to four points of health.
His vitality was reduced by half to a quarter in an instant. It would be strange if he didn't get a serious illness.
So as a living person, Speaker Bran immediately felt the cold energy surrounding the other party's fingertips and shivered involuntarily.
Before he could react to what was happening, the wound on the leader's hand, which had been bleeding profusely, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is?!!!!"
The old man's pupils suddenly dilated, and he hurriedly took out the medicine bottle and took a few more pills, covering his chest with his hands with a pale face.
“This is the gift from the great Prince of Darkness.
He has given us nearly eternal life, a body that is immune to illness and cold, and the magical powers you have just seen.
I know that you have been troubled by heart disease in recent years and almost died several times.
但现在,您只要献出信仰和精神世界拥抱这份恩赐,就能立刻恢复健康和活力。”
在说这番话的时候,奥利斯从口袋里掏出了一支散发着黑暗阴冷气息的药剂轻轻放在桌子上。
“恩赐……”
布兰议长只感觉全身上下突然变得燥热无比。
如果换成是在亲眼目睹刚才的神术之前,他才不会相信这些鬼话呢。
因为城内的那个宗教就是他的祖先联合城内其他贵族搞出来愚弄下层民众的统治工具,所以才会建在那些穷鬼们聚集的地方而不是内城区。
但此时此刻,老人的内心显然出现了动摇。
他很清楚自己的心脏问题绝不是靠药物就能解决的,按照那些古老书籍的记载需要通过手术更换一个全新健康的心脏。
尽管以他在石笋城中的权势与地位,新鲜的心脏要多少就能搞到多少,但现如今的医生已经没能力进行如此高难度且复杂的手术。
一方面是没有相应的医疗仪器,另外一方面是压根没有这方面的经验。
所以布兰议长只能靠这些药物强撑着续命。
一旦哪天没搞好突然心脏病,分分钟就有可能离开这个世界。
没有任何一个有权有势的人会想要死去,他自然也不例外。
看着摆放在桌子上的药剂,老人深吸了一口气抬起头郑重其事的质问:“这玩意真的能让我恢复健康并获得永恒的生命?”
奥利斯不加思索的点了下头:“是的。但前提是你必须要信仰伟大的黑暗王子,并让整个石笋城全体居民皈依他。”
“只要信仰?”老人再次确认道。
“嗯,只要信仰。因为财富、物资和权力对于真正的神来说没有任何意义。”
奥利斯直截了当给出了保证。
他明白对方在担心教会崛起之后会对现有的权力结构造成威胁和破坏,所以给其吃了一颗定心丸。
不过这也只是缓兵之计而已。
一旦整个城市的人全部转化成为幽影体质并信仰黑暗王子,那么贵族的权力必然会向教会转移。
因为贵族之所以能建立起稳固的通知,究其根源在于他们掌握着知识、技术、生产食物和工具的方法,离开他们平民根本不知道该如何维系城市转运。
如果发动暴乱推翻贵族的话,搞不好所有人都会饿死。
但获得幽影体质后,人们对于这些东西的依赖就会大幅度降低,而且虔诚的信徒还有可能会获得神赐予的力量。
这也就意味着原本依靠掌握生产资料建立起来的贵族统治体系,必然逐渐被信仰主导的神权所替代。
当然,这些话奥利斯才不会跟布兰议长说。
他还等着在教会体系下混一个好位置,甚至是成为一片地区至高无上的掌权者。
“好!从现在开始起,我就是伟大黑暗王子的信徒,愿意为他在这座城市建立起信仰。”
说罢,老人打开药剂瓶的封口仰起头喝了下去。
转瞬之间!
一股发自灵魂深处的冰冷席卷了全身。
他甚至能感觉到有某种无法用于眼形容的能量进入了自己的肉体乃至灵魂。
才短短几秒钟左右,原本苍白的皮肤就变得灰暗,同时眼睛也能在这种黑暗的环境下看得更远。
最重要的是当药剂开始产生作用后,布兰议长能够清晰的感受到自己那颗不堪重负的心脏不再难受,确切地说就连跳动都变得缓慢了许多,但不可思议的是原本苍老的身体却越变越年轻,甚至恢复到了四十岁左右的状态。
其实他之所以没有找人试药而是直接喝下去,就是为了证明自己的信仰足够虔诚。
看着对方身体上的变化,奥利斯意味深长的举起酒杯说道:“欢迎加入我们,亲爱的议长阁下。”
“哈哈哈哈!这种感觉真是棒极了!赞美伟大的黑暗王子,我和我的家族必将世代侍奉他。”
布兰议长感受着身体上的变化,还有镜子里那张恢复年轻的面孔,眼睛里闪烁着名为野心的光芒。
不老不死的幽影体质意味着什么? 意味着他可以成为这座城市永恒的统治者,甚至是把所有人组织起来发动一场统一地下世界的战争,最终加冕为所有人类的皇帝。
就这样,随着领队奥利斯成功把掌握石笋城最高权力的布兰议长拉下水,整个贵族阶层很快便一个接一个的喝下药剂成为半幽影生物。
紧跟着接受转化的是维持秩序和安全的士兵,最后才是位于底层的平民。
在此期间,城内的那座教堂和骗人的教会还试图反抗并煽动信徒发动暴乱,结果还没等组织起来就被铁血镇压,凡是参与者一个不落的全部杀光。
最终,石笋城在短短几天之内就彻底被染上了黑暗王子格雷亚的颜色。
不仅如此,他们还举行了盛大的宗教仪式和庆典,随后派出军队向周围的小型聚集地不断传教,把人口全部转化成半幽影生物。
随着越来越多半幽影生物诞生,这里终于形成了一个稳定的阴影魔网节点。
来自费伦的夜之女神莎尔则透过这个节点降下了一具十分微弱的化身。
看到石笋城周边地区那狂热的宗教热情,还有正在以此为基础不断向外扩张的黑暗力量,她立刻抿起嘴角用只有自己才能听见的声音赞叹道:“一个完全黑暗没有一丁点光亮的世界吗?这地方简直棒极了!亲爱的格雷亚,你果然灭有让我失望。”
“你喜欢这里吗?”
黑暗王子瞬间通过传送魔法出现在夜之女神的旁边。
“当然!我喜欢这里所带来的宁静。现在告诉我,你想要怎样的奖赏呢?”
说着,莎尔转过身伸出一只手轻轻抚摸着格雷亚的脸颊,两只黑色眼睛里透露出不加掩饰的宠溺。
“奖赏就算了,你以后尽量别再在跟我的父亲作对就好。因为你是不可能斗得过他的。”
黑暗王子注视着这位美丽的女神,不管是语气还是表情都十分复杂。
因为黑暗本质相互吸引的关系,他对莎尔与生俱来的亲近感甚至还要超过自己的母亲。
所以不希望对方与左思的关系闹得太僵,甚至是成为不死不休的敌人。
可夜之女神听到这句话立刻笑着回应道:“不试试怎么知道呢? 别担心,看在你的面子上,我以后不会再去触碰他的底线。
好了,这种时候别提那些扫兴的事情。
让我们一起来好好享受这难得的宁静吧。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,莎尔直接展开双臂把格雷亚抱在自己的怀里,并且从嘴里哼唱着古老失落的歌谣。
由于她的化身足有两米高,而黑暗王子格雷亚正常情况下的身高只有一米七左右,因此后者整张脸都埋进了胸口。
……
与此同时,远在穆塔哈尔浮空城中,来自各个时空、宇宙的新非瑞克西亚魔判官们汇聚一堂,甚至就连一直忙于研究的金吉塔厦也抽出时间出现在会议室内。
他们汇聚于此的目的很简单,那就是发动一场前所未有的宏大战役,彻底横扫艾泽拉斯星球所在的宇宙,将其变成一个稳定可靠的大后方。
刚刚从漫威宇宙返回的左思之所以敢下达这样的命令,一方面是他的实力已经得到了大幅度的提高,即便是与黑暗泰坦萨格拉斯硬碰硬也有足够的信心将其击败,另外一方面则是大杀器【同兆】这张卡牌冷却完成。
再加上艾泽拉斯星球所在的宇宙并不像费伦的施法环境会导致高科技造物失效,因此像太空舰队、旋风鱼雷等大杀器都可以拿出来用。
“伟大的新非瑞克西亚之父,我麾下的军团早已准备完毕,随时都可以向燃烧军团发起全面进攻。”
作为该宇宙新非瑞克西亚最高军事指挥官,同时也是黑色派系的魔判官——希欧蕊率先站出来表达了自己的决心和高昂战意。
要知道自从与燃烧军团签订了休战协议,只保留在艾泽拉斯星球海加尔山的战场之后,她就一直在暗中积蓄力量,不断从来自其他宇宙的烁油中汲取知识、技术和力量。
眼下不光在数量上可以碾压号称无穷无尽的燃烧军团恶魔,同样还在武器装备和技术方面超越了对方。
如果这样都打不赢,那她就没脸在站在这里,趁早找个没人的地方把自己肢解掉算了。
绿色魔判官弗霖凯也跟着表态道:“我的麾下的猛兽军团也集结完毕,随时听候您的调遣。请务必将我们放在最激烈、最残酷的战场上。唯有如此,我们才能获得进化。”
“我的烈焰军团也刚刚完成升级,无论多么坚固的防线和要塞都必将在我们的烈焰与炮火下灰飞烟灭。”
Two blinding rays of fire shot out from the eyes of the Red Devil Judge Wabasi.
Only the White Judge Ellenon said with her chin down like a lady, "I'm sorry, great father of New Phyrexia, my White Faction is at a critical moment in creating the Soul of All Machines, and I can't go out for you for the time being."
"It doesn't matter. We already have an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength. The only question is how to capture all the Titan Star Souls."
Zuo Si expressed his understanding very generously.
Because if he remembered correctly, even if the bodies of the Titans of Azeroth were destroyed, their souls were immortal and powerful.
"By the way, Flink stole the seeds of the World Tree from Kaldheim not long ago. I am trying to combine it with the Transdimensional Lighthouse to create a network that can be used for cross-dimensional teleportation. In this way, even without those perfected planeswalkers, we in New Phyrexia can use this network to teleport, and even let the oil flow through it."
The Blue Demon Judge Jinjitasha also hurriedly reported a good news.
"Oh? How long will it take?"
Zuo Si was obviously very interested in this.
Because New Phyrexia had originally used the seeds of the World Tree from the Kaldheim time and space to create the famous "Cave Tree", which could carry out large-scale troop transport without the help of the Planeswalker Spark, thus starting the crazy war of "unification of all worlds".
Now he already has a space-time beacon tower connecting the multiverse. If he adds the "Cave Tree", God knows what kind of wonderful combination will happen.
Jinji Tasha replied enthusiastically: "It will probably take a few months, and I will report to you personally when the time comes."
"That's right. If we complete this project, we won't have to go through so much trouble to mobilize troops in the future."
A smile of approval appeared on Zuo Si's face.
"Father, do you need me to transfer Zariel back from the bloody front line? Anyway, the fighting there is not very intense now, and there is also the first-level lord Bayer and those newly appointed great devil lords in charge." Succubus Queen Mecanthus asked.
"Um--
Not needed at this time.
I still have the Immortal Demon and the newly awakened Lord of the Abyss Argus in my hands, which should be enough to deal with these Titans.
As for other forces, if they dare to interfere at this time, the worst that can happen is that I will directly summon the Odrachi to raid their hometown.
Also, have Ob Nixilis prepared. I may have his Infernal Dragon Legion deployed as a mobile force at a critical moment."
Zuo Si made his choice after a little thought.
He has been constantly sharpening the powerful weapon, the Khorne Angel Zariel, on the bloody front lines, intending to forge it into an unparalleled sword to be used at the most critical moment.
It is obviously far from the time to activate it.
"Understood, I will prepare everything for you in the rear."
The succubus queen, Mecanthust, took the initiative to step forward and kissed the back of Zuo Si's hand affectionately, her eyes still full of admiration and attachment as they did back then.
Zuo Si gently stroked the other's cheek like he was stroking a pet, quickly glanced at the demon judge sitting in the conference room, pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "In the name of the father of New Phyrexia! I declare that the war against the Burning Legion officially begins from this moment! Everyone, let us crush those demons and their Titan masters and bring the entire universe under our control.
No matter who it is, we will trample them if they dare to block our progress."
"Under your leadership, the great New Phyrexia will be invincible!"
"Praise the Shuo Oil! It will bring ultimate order to the entire universe!"
"We will eventually realize the lofty ideal of unifying all worlds!"
…
With the almost fanatical cheers of the Demon Judges, the entire floating city became restless.
Even experts in various fields who were usually oblivious to what was happening outside and focused on their research stopped what they were doing and came out to see what was going on.
After all, this is the first time that such a large-scale war mobilization and deployment has taken place in the Mutahar floating city.
In particular, the gathering of a huge army of devils in the ninth layer of Baator Hell made all forces in the universe where the planet Toril was located become nervous.
After years of continuous development and crazy military expansion, as a devil prince who is second only to the emperor, Zuo Si's huge military force has made many hostile gods and demon lords feel uneasy, fearing that they will become the target of attack.
Especially those Devil Astartes who have only started to be mass-produced in recent years. Each of them possesses power that is not inferior to that of high-level devils, but can be mass-produced in a very cheap way.
Coupled with the special magic power mecha granted by the sparkling oil, once it joins the battle, it will definitely be an absolute nightmare for the enemy.
Right now, there are only twenty permanent teams of ten thousand men on the front line of the bloody battle, but they are able to easily suppress demons and yugoloths whose number is more than ten times their own. Their outstanding military exploits were even awarded the title of the Legion of Honor by Asmodeus himself.
