Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 1172: Giant Crocodile Group and Lonely Star

A convertible was speeding across the Martian landscape, leaving a ten-meter-long dust trail behind it.

Most of the roads on Mars are half-buried. It's not that the protectors can't build a road that can avoid sand and dust. The groundbreaking ceremony for the first fully enclosed road on Mars was 260 years ago. The dilapidated roads on Mars are not a technical problem, but purely caused by the human environment - there are quite a lot of knights here.

The second law of thermodynamics has always cursed this universe: destruction is always easier than construction. At the very beginning of Chivalry, the original cyber warrior guerrilla forces were very good at hindering the movement of large forces by destroying infrastructure such as roads.

For the patron, it was not difficult to build a road, but it would be too expensive to form a special army to patrol the road. The throne completely abolished the "public service" thing. Even if the road was built to facilitate the dispatch of troops, it could only be defined as the "private property of the lord" in this era.

The Earth can also rely on the planet-wide space-based weapons-satellite system (privately owned by King Agni) to suppress the knights, but Mars does not have this condition.

In order to travel comfortably on Mars, most engineering scientific research knights chose to improve the chassis, and the suspension system and shock absorption system were also upgraded generation after generation.

Although the gravity on Mars is very low, the atmosphere on Mars is even thinner and the oxygen content is low. The traditional heat engines that can be used on Earth are almost all inoperable on Mars. Rotorcraft also need a higher speed to obtain sufficient lift, and ground-effect vehicles need even faster speeds. For low-level scientific research riders who cannot afford private aircraft, this kind of vehicle, which is cheap, fast and has a certain degree of stability, is the first choice for traveling to Mars.

The Yinghuo Bird was driving the car. Xiangshan, who was probably the fifth martial god, was flipping through the book bound with a flexible screen in the passenger seat, while humming a few songs with an ancient agricultural flavor.

If the Mars bird hears something it has heard before, it will sing along loudly.

The scientific research knight Chio A. OE was sitting in the car, feeling a little uneasy.

Because the person facing him was the murderer who almost defeated all the combat power of the entire group, the former Soul-Calming King of the Six Dragons Sect.

The Soul-Suppressing Dharma King now exudes a dangerous aura from head to toe.

Chiao was originally Fuyuki Yongren's assistant. He witnessed the entire conversation between the God of War and the Soul-Calming Dharma King in the squire training ground. At that moment, he read the real rage from the Soul-Calming Dharma King's posture, and the desire for destruction that he didn't know where to vent. This guy is a time bomb.

But the God of War obviously didn't think so. In the subsequent combat meeting, he even generously invited the Soul-Suppressing Dharma King to come along.

He completely ignored the reality that the Soul-Suppressing Dharma King could explode at any time.

The combat meeting that Chi Ao remembers most was probably the last one before departure, when everyone analyzed the data sent by the Earth Knights, the data of the battle between the Speed ​​King and the Twelfth Martial God more than a month ago. That was the result of the intelligence summary of many surviving knights and the Protector server.

The God of War naturally called upon the Soul-Calming Dharma King.

In the restored holographic image, the Speed ​​King's more than ten waves of unparalleled attacks left Chi Ao speechless. All the people participating in the meeting had almost the same reaction. This was no longer just a warrior's admiration for a superb skill.

This is closer to the instinctive awe that prey has for predators.

In this atmosphere, the God of War asked the Soul-Calming Dharma King, "What do you think the outcome would be if it were me?"

"One strike will kill you." The Soul-Suppressing Dharma King didn't even think for a second, "It doesn't even need to be the first strike. You can't take any strike."

"That's right. In fact, Old Twelve almost died in the 'first strike'." Wu Shen nodded in agreement, and then sighed, "Falcon didn't believe that he could cripple Xiangshan with one strike, so when Old Twelve's co-pilot continued to fight, he immediately believed that the co-pilot was the real body - even everyone on the battlefield thought so."

The first attack of the evil star is actually an attack that is impossible to withstand no matter what, no matter whether it is a single warrior, a warship, or a fortress.

Logically speaking, this move should not be regarded as an "attack launched by a warrior", but should be regarded as a "warrior-guided kinetic weapon dropped by a sub-light-speed battleship."

The twelfth Martial God almost died, but almost everyone felt that it was impossible for a Martial God to be killed so easily.

Well, to be precise, it should be the "Twelfth Martial God" - at least Singhorst felt that it would be difficult for the Martial God in front of him to even take a single blow.

This is not to say that his technical level is really that bad, but his reaction.

"So what happened next? What else did you discover?"

"It's very strange, the reaction speed of the twelfth martial god is completely able to keep up..." The Soul-Calming Dharma King shook his head, "I really don't know where he got the transformation technology from..."

“Not a prediction?”

"The method of pre-reading has its limits, and within a certain range, the smaller the gap between the two sides, the more difficult it is to accurately predict. If you only rely on the pre-reading technique and your own reflexes can't keep up, it's impossible to respond correctly."

Singhorst zoomed in on the image. This was the result of multiple artificial eyes taking photos from different angles, and then synthesizing and repairing them using AI. After being slowed down a thousand times, the Speed ​​King was like a ball of blue flame. Due to insufficient information and the AI's low degree of freedom, it could only present this image.

It's like a mosaic, indescribable.

A ball of blue flame.

"This is what an average First Heaven warrior can feel. If you can't think fast enough, you can only see this much. Reading the techniques first is a joke."

The twelfth war god relies on the technique of pre-reading to predict the actions of the Speed ​​King by one thousandth to one hundredth of a second, so that he can use the secondary machine to defeat the Speed ​​King.

In terms of pure technique, the Twelfth Martial God is even better than the Speed ​​King.

This is also the reason why the Fifth Martial God cannot block even a single blow. The Fifth Martial God's pre-reading skills may be better than the Twelfth Martial God, but his reaction speed is far inferior to the old and mentally aged Soul-Calming Dharma King, and the gap with the Speed ​​King has reached the point of "causing a qualitative change".

"Then the next question." The God of War folded his hands and supported his chin, "Do you think it is possible for me to train to a similar level within a year?"

"Absolutely impossible." The Soul-Calming Master didn't even consider it. "According to your recovery speed, it will take you at least three years to reach your upper limit. Considering that there are some blockers in your brain that cannot be removed, it is unknown whether this 'upper limit' can be achieved. As for customized cell-level transformation surgery... Excuse me, the Knights of the Solitary Prison do not have the technology accumulation."

"how about you?"

"The position of Tuoba Xuanyuan 14..." Soul-Calming Dharma King thought for a moment, "I can't guarantee that I can do better, but maybe it won't be worse."

"It seems that you and I agree on this point. There is really no hope." Xiangshan's tone was full of regret. "Then the super prosthesis in the plan can only be designed based on the twelfth martial god as the imaginary object."

Build a prosthetic body for the 12th Martial God that can rival the Speed ​​King.

In the short term, the only top warrior who can be found who is said to have "touched the realm of gods and Buddhas" is the Twelfth Martial God.

Xiangshan (the original fifth martial god) cannot rely on himself. Except for the tenth martial god, most martial gods may not have such skills. The twelfth martial god has already proved his level.

Plus... they almost completely took over the artificial body of the Romance King Juan Repin.

Yes, almost intact. In the fierce battle, the magnetic chain weapon of the twelfth war god pressed through the outer armor and touched the spine, which then converted the electromagnetic pulse into infrasound waves, directly destroying brain cells.

"If we use this prosthesis as the main framework for transformation, there may be a glimmer of hope for collecting the resources of the entire Mars." Xiangshan said.

The Soul-Calming Dharma King asked back, "What if the twelfth Martial God is not cured? Didn't you say that he is in a coma now?"

"I believe he will make it in time. Besides, it doesn't matter if he is a little bit behind. There will always be masters in the world. But the current situation of the war on Jupiter can only be fought by a top warrior. The knights can't come up with any better means." Xiangshan said in a calm tone.

Mars, the headquarters of the Knights of Scientific Research and the location of the Holy Temples, is a place where countless unverified technologies are being gestated in laboratories.

It is difficult for a single scientific research knight group to assemble a heavenly prosthesis, but many scientific research knight groups have more advanced resources. Juan Leibin's prosthesis has solved the most difficult part of the framework, and the remaining modules can be replaced with more powerful parts from different scientific research knight groups.

Xiangshan's next plan is to connect with those with chivalrous tendencies within the Scientific Research Knights and to seize the resources that can be put together to build a cutting-edge prosthetic body.

This made it difficult for Knight Chiao to adapt for a while.

Originally, Fuyuki Yongren thought that after he released the God of War, he would be surrounded and suppressed, and would have to fight a tough battle. He had secretly gathered a number of knights near the city of Scone, together with the Knights' own entourage and armed forces, and was ready for a tough battle. Chiao was also ready to die in the war to defend the Knights.

However, just yesterday, the regiment commander and the God of War made a judgment - "This war cannot be fought in a short period of time."

When he started the rebellion, Fuyuki Nagahito still underestimated the impact of the collective failure of AI.

After being separated from AI, the Protector's flat and primitive management system was simply unable to mobilize its own power.

The AI ​​of Mars is now in an unstable state. The originally stable low-level AI will be deployed to squad-level units, and each individual will be guaranteed to have a terminal. These AIs will follow similar thinking paths under the same circumstances and make highly consistent judgments. Units above the battalion level are deployed with more active command AI for auxiliary management.

But now, every AI on the planet has been judged to be "untrustworthy."

This type of AI cannot be connected to the Internet.

However, there is no "clean" network on this planet now.

Command AI is the hardest hit by this inexplicable "electronic epidemic".

The Protector Army's reaction speed was far slower than expected. Due to the lack of efficient AI dispatch, the first assembled troops' actions conflicted with each other, causing constant friction.

This made the Lonely Prison Knights laugh and cry.

After the Solitary Prison Knights raised the banner of rebellion, another knight of the First Heaven who was originally on the sidelines also stepped into the Knights' headquarters under the guarantee of the Mars Bird and joined the uprising.

In the short term, there is no need to worry about combat effectiveness.

The newly joined First Heaven Knight planned to take the initiative to assassinate the mid-level officers in the Protector's army and completely paralyze the army's operations. Xiangshan spent three hours analyzing through satellite images which officers of the troops still looked capable after leaving the AI, and helped the Knight lock on the target.

After losing the command system that could efficiently mobilize the army's terminal forces, large-scale battle martial arts were basically useless. The First-level officers could only rely on their own martial arts to intercept and kill the First-level knights.

According to Fuyuki Nagahito's estimation, this place doesn't need a second first-tier warrior in the short term. It's a bit of a waste for Xiangshan to stay here.

Xiangshan thinks so too.

He was going to try his hand at playing the game of Mars.

The new mission of the Knight Chiao is to serve as the liaison between the God of War and the Lonely Prison Organization, and the Firefly is an important combat force.

As for the Soul-Calming Dharma King... the Soul-Calming Dharma King...

Some kind of special consultant, perhaps?

According to what the God of War said before, he had to follow the God of War to record important data. The God of War was also worried about leaving such an unstable master in the Lonely Prison Knights.

Such a somewhat strange team set out on the journey.

Compared to Chio's restlessness, Singhorst seemed much more relaxed, but still aggressive. He even patted the back of the Valkyrie's seat and complained about the lyrics: "Isn't it a little ridiculous to sing 'Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills' on a planet with only red dust?"

"You're going to attack even this? You're too aggressive, Singer." Xiangshan's tone sounded quite happy, "We are from the same era, right?"

"I have definitely never heard of the song you sang. I am at least thirty years behind Wu Zu Xiang Shan."

"Tsk, tsk, I thought it was the same in the old days." The Firefly said, "I just think there have been very few changes in the past thirty years."

"The disturbances caused by the Tenth and Eleventh Martial Gods were not large in scale. These thirty years have indeed been a period of relatively small changes in the martial arts world..." Singhorst muttered.

"The most important thing is that culture has been destroyed." Xiangshan shrugged. "If you are not sensitive to technological development, it is really difficult for individuals to experience the changes of the times... In fact, from my point of view, now is completely different from 130 years ago."

"Oh? Such a big change?" The Firebird was very curious.

"Your master never tells you about the past?" Xiang Shan was speechless. "Your master was born in that era..."

"Oh, you know it too. My master has always believed that you are not dead, because there is no record of your actual execution. He has been trying to find you, running around everywhere, and died early."

"Tsk..." Xiangshan sighed, "This kid..."

"Oh my, Master, you don't have to be too sad. Really, I can guarantee that Master has no regrets in his life. So what was the world like when my Master was young?"

"We'll talk about it later when we have a chance. The next stop is coming. Be alert to whether there are any defenses on the road..."

"It doesn't matter even if there is, right? The old man behind us is very strong, abnormally strong!" The Mars Bird laughed.

"I'm not your thug." The Soul-Calming Dharma King snorted, "I will never help you deal with the Six Dragons Sect."

Xiangshan turned a page of the book: "Don't worry, it's definitely not the Six Dragons Sect."

"It seems that you have no idea of ​​the scale of the Six Dragons Cult..."

"Even if half of the scientific knights have become members of the Six Dragons Cult, our target is probably not the scientific knights led by the Six Dragons Cult." Xiang Shan said, "I have a similar business philosophy to your leader, so I can guarantee it."

"Why are you so sure?"

"The reason is very simple. Our targets this time are mostly scientific research knights in the field of engineering. These are the scientific research knights directly under David, and they are also David's favorite direction. There will be no shortage of resources." Xiangshan said, "If they join the Six Dragons Sect, they will only lose existing resources. The predecessor of the Six Dragons Sect was the private redistribution of resources by scientific research knights. As the leader, I will convince every scientific research knight who believes in "ascension" to concentrate resources on fields related to "ascension". The main areas of control of the Six Dragons Sect are biology, the origin, evolution, transformation and cognition of life. This is also determined by your flag. Once you raise this flag, you can only make this choice."

"Even if the Knights in the engineering field join, they will only suffer losses in the redistribution. If it were me, I would give priority to non-related fields when developing my power. When grabbing resources, I would also look for those fields that are already stagnant and have no hope of breakthrough in the short term. The Knights in those fields would also be happy to cede resources to obtain the opportunity of 'joint construction projects'."

"But weapons and aerospace, tsk tsk, are David's favorite projects and the hottest research direction at the moment. If they join the Six Dragons Sect, they are simply giving up their own interests."

The Soul-Calming Dharma King said: "The Six Dragons Sect also has the concept of defense, and the pursuit of weapons also exists."

"You can directly obtain the research results of the Protector, right?" Xiang Shan said, "If too many resources are concentrated on 'protecting the religion', how convincing will 'ascension cause' be? At least these engineering knights will not gain much benefit from joining the Six Dragons, but the restrictions will be great."

Singhorst said nothing.

As they were talking, the four people's destination had already appeared on the horizon.

"The Giant Crocodile Paladin Order of Butler City - this order can get several kinds of special materials." Xiangshan was very happy.

"A knight order with the prefix 'holy'..." The Firefly hesitated, "We should contact the local knights first..."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Just go directly to the gate of the garrison." Xiangshan said in a relaxed tone.

"Hey, hey, hey, the Holy Knights, there are basically First Heaven Warriors among their followers, and there are probably more than one." The Firefly shouted exaggeratedly, "Master, we want the data, right? The other side just needs to shoot the server storing the data..."

"It doesn't matter. The data they want to destroy first must be the data that Jianghu people can't use. Jianghu people don't have the conditions to produce those cutting-edge materials." Xiangshan said, "As long as we catch those scientific research knights, we will definitely find a backup. Believe me, they will definitely not use their lives to protect the data - anyway, knights basically respect the right to authorship."

Chiao nodded, thinking that he finally had a chance to interrupt. The Soul-Calming Master spoke first, "You also claimed that you were the greatest scientific research knight in the past?"

"That's the truth, hahaha."

Xiangshan seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of "driving around with friends and chatting and bragging".

The cities on Mars are obviously different from those on Earth. You won't see slums like shacks on Mars. It's not that the masters on Mars are kinder, the real reason is actually more cruel - the standard people can't survive in the low temperature environment of Mars. If they don't have a house to live in, they will definitely die. This is a kind of violent elimination.

The farther away from the sun, the weaker the government's military power, but the stronger its control. When two square meters of solar panels cannot feed a person, ordinary people must rely on the lords to survive. And the lords keep the residents in captivity purely to meet the "genetic diversity" indicator.

A large number of containers stacked together make this city look like a steel ant nest. Red dust covered the edges and corners of the containers. There are many holes leading to the city's underground. The part of the city under the ground is only slightly smaller than the part above the ground. The messy containers formed a complex and three-dimensional maze.

However, guns and artillery were still able to force these residents to leave enough roads leading to the headquarters of the Scientific Research Knights.

The Mars Bird drifted beautifully and stopped at the gate of the Scientific Research Knights' residence.

This is an irregular tower, made up of different modules connected in series by numerous chains. As if to show off the strength of the material, the building is made up entirely of several independent blocks stacked together by chains.

The tone of the Firefly was full of hesitation: "Brother Chiao brought three followers to hang up the order? How can you sneak in like this?"

"Their group's entourage is on the lower floor." Xiangshan turned his head and said, "Comrade Yongren has a knight friend who has been here before and knows part of the structure here."

Singhorst hesitated. "You're looking at me? You're counting on me?"

"Don't you want to smash something to vent your anger? I think this target is quite suitable. He is a very ordinary first-level warrior. His biggest feature is that the outer armor mounted on his body is relatively good. It is very hard and has high defense. It should be a good sandbag for you."

Singhorst laughed angrily: "I told you, I don't participate in chivalrous activities."

"Yeah, I didn't ask you to join the battle as a knight!" Xiang Shan said matter-of-factly, "You just need to find a punching bag to vent your anger. If you don't go, Xiao D can do it with some effort."

Singhorst thought about it and actually jumped out of the car.

"Indeed, I'm not fighting as a knight..." He muttered, slowly walking towards the gate of the Scientific Knights.

Chi Ao shuddered. Just now, he almost thought that the Soul-Calming Dharma King was going to attack and hurt someone. The lack of direction in the opponent's micro-gestures, the pressure and violence, had begun to become active.

But the Firebird laughed heartlessly: "Bright and prosperous, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...how funny! This old thing."

Xiangshan responded with two laughs.

"So is it really okay for this old guy to just rush in?" The Firefly thought for a moment, "Is the information seriously insufficient?"

"The minimum goal is to get their material samples. If the goal is set low enough, there will definitely be unexpected surprises." Xiangshan said, "Think about it, if he had not chosen to pretend to be a scientific research knight when he infiltrated the Solitary Prison Knights, but had directly driven a rocket into the core from a hundred miles away, would we still be sitting here today?"

"Ah...this..."

"The ID 'Skun Swordmaster' has aroused the interest of the Six Dragons, and the background of large-scale AI mutation has forced them to be cautious." Xiangshan said, "Singhorst can kill the Knights with this level of prosthesis even if he has zero intelligence."

"Wow, what if the old thing flips over?"

Xiangshan was very surprised: "Hey, hey, hey, you want me, a disabled person, to play in the game where the Soul-Calming Dharma King is defeated?"

As he was speaking, he saw a series of explosions, and the gushing sparks formed a zigzag trajectory that reached the 30th floor.

At the escort training ground, the First Heaven warrior Zheli was shocked and angry, and asked: "Where on earth did this madman come from...First Heaven?"

He was originally using the visualization method to practice his swings in the air, practicing his moves against a virtual enemy. Suddenly, the alarm sounded. In less than five seconds, the wall behind him exploded.

In the smoke and dust, a warrior about three meters tall with slender upper limbs slowly approached.

While Zheli was using wireless signals to notify his subordinates to cooperate, he took a stance and said, "A knight from the First Heaven? You are so stupid. You dare to act wildly without even knowing where you are. If you know what's good for you, retreat quickly..."

"Let me ask you..." Singhorst asked, "Have you heard of the Soul-Calming Dharma King? What about the Left Envoy of the Sky Chariot?"

"What? Trying to make friends?" Zheli just found it ridiculous.

The Crocodile Knights are a knight order that focuses on research in the field of materials science, so the top brass will naturally not skimp on the prosthetics of their followers. The armor of the Crocodile Knights' armed followers is generally above average, and they use reactive armor more aggressively. In a narrow space, if three or five experts join forces to get close, even a first-level warrior will be in trouble.

"It's not true." Singhorst's tone was very ferocious, "Then I won't be polite."

【superior! 】

Zheli only had time to send out this command before his vision suddenly blurred.

Singhorst took a step over ten meters and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. The force and the center of gravity were misaligned, and Zheli fell backwards while spinning counterclockwise. His brain did not anticipate this, so it did not pre-process the visual signal, and for a moment he could not understand the rapidly changing scene in the camera.

The moment Zheli landed, he slapped the ground with one hand, flipped over and jumped into the air, with the electromagnet on his feet sucking the wall. He had already regained his vision as quickly as possible and faced the enemy head-on.

But while adjusting his posture, he saw a horrifying scene.

Two of his five subordinates had already fallen, and the deputy with the highest martial arts skills desperately hugged the enemy's lower torso and legs, blocking his ability to dodge. The remaining two people, one holding a white flame spear and stabbing forward, and the other rolled backwards and aimed at the same time.

At this moment, an explosion occurred on the enemy's back. This guy was also used to actively detonating reactive armor. This sudden force hit the side of the long spear move just when the force was not yet fully exerted. The shock wave twisted the highly elastic metal rod, but did not detonate the conical charge part.

Singhorst chopped the spear off the warrior's hand with a knife, and it spun like a flying knife and stabbed at the follower holding the spear.

This attenuated impact force cannot harm a warrior with full armor. However...

The tip of the White Flame Spear is a metal jet armor-piercing bullet, which does not rely on impact force. The impact force only needs to be enough to trigger the fuse.

At the moment when Singhorst actively detonated the reactive armor, his empty right hand turned into a hammer and fell down, hammering the neck of the man who was hugging him like a pile driver.

A micro armor-piercing bullet hidden in the elbow penetrated the weak spot, destroying the neck and the power unit in the torso.

"He is really rich. Even his followers who are not on the first level are so strong and of good quality." Singhorst kicked away the enemy who tried to restrict his steps and moved his calves to check himself.

He raised his head and looked at Zheli who was standing on the wall.

Zheli no longer hesitated and ran along the wall, trying to leave through the exit on the ceiling.

However, the order to open the exit fell on deaf ears for some reason, and the exit gate remained motionless.

The wall trembled slightly, and Singhorst walked towards Zheli step by step.

"This is really a bad habit. I'm not as bad as the God of War who likes to play with his enemies." Singhorst walked behind Zheli and grabbed his wrist, destroying his posture and throwing him to the ground. "But I'm in a really bad mood right now and I really need a way to vent - could this be one of the secrets of the God of War to maintain mental health?"

Zheli trembled slightly: "You...what are you talking about? This is an inexplicable battle, we..."

With a "boom", the oncoming missile interrupted his words.

............................................................

"What on earth is Zheli doing?" Jing Haihong, the deputy leader of the Giant Crocodile Knights, roared, "Why did a warrior from the first level suddenly come in? Did any knight make a request?"

"Isn't it normal that we are targeted by that bunch of poor knights?" said the deputy leader Gregory.

"But... no matter how you look at it, that guy seems to have a personal grudge?" Jing Haihong pondered for a moment. He always felt that the situation in the surveillance video where the mysterious enemy was beating the strongest armed escort in the entire regiment was a little weird.

After watching for a few more seconds, Jing Haihong saw the follower begging for mercy, and he felt he couldn't bear to watch anymore: "What a shame, we have invested so many resources in him... Ridiculous. I will talk to the warrior and see what he wants."

At this point, Jing Haihong and Gregory were not very scared. Although the invading enemy was obviously a strong man in the First Heaven, their group had more than one armed escort. The other escorts joined forces and could always hold out until the high-ranking officers of the First Heaven nearby arrived. Since the cutting-edge armor developed by the Giant Crocodile Paladin Order was very attractive to high-ranking military officers, there was no need to worry about those military officers slacking off.

In Jing Haihong's opinion, if they could delay for a few minutes by words, they would be actively expanding their strategic advantage.

Gregory waited for a few minutes, but the other party didn't speak, so he said, "Don't you know how to start? Can't communicate with low-level knights? What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"

He reached out to pat Jing Haihong, but Jing Haihong fell backwards.

The deputy captain, Kyokai's prosthetic body, has been locked.

Gregory was stunned for a few seconds, then screamed, "Internal techniques!"

At this time, King Zhenhun glanced at the camera.

Gregory fell to the ground.

............................................................

"Okay, let's go." Xiangshan closed the book. "It looks like there are no accidents. The warehouse was completely taken over. Three of the five databases are basically intact, and there must be cloud backups. One of the three deputy commanders who are still stationed was captured alive. The remaining two should be..."

There was a muffled sound in the sky, like thunder, probably an explosion in the sky. Looking up at the mountain, a few seconds later, fragments began to fall sparsely.

"Well... there should be another deputy leader waiting to be captured in the building. All in all, the mission was successfully completed. That's it. The spoils include two power reactors. Let's go find the local martial arts leader to digest this harvest. I remember that I was originally looking for him, right?"

The Firefly scratched his head: "I thought I had to find my uncle first before I could deal with this knight order... No need to wait for the old man?"

"Singhorst still needs to spend some time suppressing the remaining resistance. He also intends to complete the task assigned by the Six Dragons Cult Leader."

Yinghuo Bird was a little surprised: "Six Dragons Sect Leader?"

"After all, he is not an apostate, so the leader still has to do his job. Collect data from various knight orders, look for clues, and find out the truth about the AI ​​riots." Xiangshan said, "This is in our interests, so we really have to do it."

The Firefly snorted, "Old man, keep dragging your feet. Don't let the reinforcements surround you."

"Ha, forget it. Every army is facing this problem. The AI ​​is unreliable and cannot be commanded efficiently. At most, a First Heaven officer will come with an elite team to support us." Xiang Shan said, "But in a small-scale battle, Singhorst can hardly lose. That's it, let's go."

The three of them, led by the Mars Bird, temporarily abandoned the car and found a cave on the side of the road and walked down. Abandoned steel removed from some large machine was made into support for the cave, supporting this vast underground space. People who could not afford to live on the ground chose to expand underground.

It is said that every year there are residents buried alive in cave collapses. Due to the strong damage resistance of the standard people, "rescue" has even become a business similar to "mining". Some unscrupulous businessmen will choose to sell those individuals who were once marked as "dead" to the scientific research knights or the green forest.

The Mars Bird took the two of them down several floors and finally came to a large space that was eight meters wide and dozens of meters long.

Many people gathered here, each with a light strip wrapped around their hands. They stood here silently, building a local area network. In the center of the space was a huge luminous body made of stacked LED light strips. It was stacked from the ground to the ceiling, becoming the largest light source.

People kept throwing the light strips wrapped around their hands onto the pile of light strips.

Xiangshan was not connected to the local area network, so he didn't know if those people were communicating. He could probably tell that this was some kind of cultural activity. The old man couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that culture can still be born spontaneously... So what is this?"

"Memorial service."

"who?"

"Uncle Tuoba... the disciple of the Tenth Martial God, Tuoba Xuanyuan Fourteen. Master, you may not know him."

"That was the only time I saw the video footage of the combat meeting," Xiangshan said, "so now we know each other."

Such memorial services do not seem to be limited to this underground space.

Tuoba Xuanyuan 14's main activity area is the Jupiter Universe, but the exchanges between Jupiter and Mars are much closer. After the War God King was killed by the Ninth Martial God, the blockade of Mars was quite relaxed, and the exchanges between knights became more frequent.

Here, there are many knights who have received help from Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi directly or indirectly.

Of course, there are also many people who have never met this hero before but just respect him.

Dugu Beiluo Shimen, also known as "Dagon" in the martial arts world, is a knight who usually wears black paint.

After Xiang Shan scanned the information of this disciple, he was deeply moved: "So this is the setting... It wouldn't be strange if there were people named Murong Bisuwu, Yuwen Xinsuer, etc., right?"

Dugu Beiluo Shimen looked at Xiangshan in confusion.

She had only obtained the information from the Mars Bird last year, but Dugu Beiluo Shimen had doubts about the Gu Lao Knights, so she did not directly participate.

Perhaps he was not mentally prepared to meet another Martial God.

But the moment she saw Xiangshan, a wave of emotion pulled her over, and three overload alarms popped up on her prosthetic body.

She lowered her head and asked, "Master...Master?"

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "I don't know if it counts... Let's just say it counts. My personality and the Tenth Martial God's personality are highly consistent, and our memories may be interoperable..."

Dugu Beiluo Shimen whispered: "Second brother is also dead..."

"Is Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 the second oldest instead of the 14th? Ah, sorry, I shouldn't say that at this time..." Xiangshan shook his head, "I am just a person who can't control my mouth."

Although Xiangshan here did not know Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi, he knew that it was absolutely forbidden to make any inappropriate jokes to the relatives and friends of the victims.

"Really...exactly the same..." Master Dugu Beiluo's hand trembled.

——Alas, I hope that the Tenth Martial God will not only leave you with the impression of being a person who loves to tell such inappropriate jokes...

Xiangshan felt deeply frustrated.

Dugu Beiluo Shimen slowly squatted down and cried, "Master... my second brother just died! Master!"

She was giving vent to the emotions that had been suppressed for more than a decade.

After the Tenth Martial God's disciples dispersed and broke through, Tuoba Xuanyuan 14, who had the highest martial arts skills, took the most important backup and prepared to go to Mars, which had the best research environment, to continue the Tenth Martial God's unfinished plan. However, the one who finally arrived on Mars was Dugu Beiluo, who had dispersed halfway to block the pursuers.

Dugu Beiluo Shimen fought the enemy between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, lost power and drifted in deep space for nearly two years before being found by a familiar knight and taken to Mars. She searched for Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 on Mars for many years. She thought her second brother should have died, but she always had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she never thought of holding a memorial service.

More than a month ago, she finally got the long-awaited news from her fellow student.

Unfortunately, it was news of death.

It is indeed a bit difficult to adapt to returning to the hot city in the central part of the country from the northernmost and coldest place in the country. My throat has been feeling uncomfortable these days.
