Alien world

Chapter 1580 214. Subspace

The reconnaissance airship's first takeoff went smoothly. Annan watched it carrying the goblin steadily rise to a hundred meters. After stabilizing slightly, it continued to climb, gradually changing from a wooden barrel to the size of a seabird.

If you look carefully when the weather is clear, you can still see them, but if there are even a few clouds, you won't be able to spot these eyes floating above your head.

More importantly, it is very quiet, and almost no sound can be heard from more than ten meters above the ground. In addition, it is a fusion of airship and hot air balloon, mixed with magic technology. As long as it is painted with a light-colored paint, it is difficult to find it at any time of day or night.

It has disadvantages, for example, it is too fragile and may capsize if it encounters bad weather, and it is not very fast, but most of the time it can be avoided in time.

After confirming that there were no problems, Annan ordered the factory to immediately mass-produce reconnaissance aircraft, while keeping their purpose secret - only God knows how many spies there are in Liberty City.

Especially don't let Martin know.

If he knew, Aunt Susan would know. If Aunt Susan knew, everyone in Liberty City would know.

The airship factory currently produces three reconnaissance airships a day, which is not enough. Annan simply requisitioned existing airships, including the twenty or so that were previously delivered to the Church of Fortune.

Bishop Garcia was reluctant. In the turbulent years, there was a lack of faith. Relying on the airships, they finally gathered a lot of believers in several major cities: "Holy Son, the Airship Church spent money. Even if you are the Holy Son——"

"When the time comes, I will return the original amount to you, a bigger, shinier airship."

"The Church is willing to contribute to the affairs of the Son!"

Later that day, the people of Liberty City saw a strange sight: dozens of dragon-like airships took off into the air, and after a brief pause over Liberty City, they headed west and north.

Not many people know the principles of the airship. People who hold the simple idea that bigger is better and stronger is beautiful regard it as some kind of powerful weapon. They discuss whether Lord Annan is going to respond to the empire and take action against the rat people.

After that, every day, they could see an airship rising from the industrial zone from time to time, turning into the size of a seagull and disappearing into the northwest sky. No one knew where they went, and for a while people on the streets were talking about it, and some tabloids published sensational news: "The Champion Warlock's Secret Weapon Reveals Its Fangs."

A few days passed like this, and one morning, a large group of citizens suddenly gathered outside the city lord's mansion.

"what happened?"

Idilia was very concerned. She took a quick look and saw that the people downstairs were all simple citizens, and there were several carts loaded with money boxes behind them... Could it be that corruption had occurred?

We sent someone to inquire about it. After a while, the official came back with a smile and said, "They are residents near the industrial zone. Recently, there are rumors that airships are weapons against ratmen. Citizens feel that airships are getting smaller and smaller. They think that Liberty City is short of money, so they collected a large sum of money to donate to us."

Idilia laughed and went out personally to appease the residents and ask them to take the money back.

Behind the smile is a hint of bitterness.

The reconnaissance aircraft sent out had already drifted as far as the Violet Land thousands of miles away, and discovered an increasingly dense tide of rats swarming on the land like locusts, but no trace of the Black Watch Legion was found.

The longer time passes, the slimmer the hope.

The empire in the east could no longer remain calm. The three royal guard corps, the Royal School of Magic, and the expeditionary force were slaughtering the ratmen and the demon coalition like crazy. The horrible forbidden spells bombarded the rat tide day and night. The wailing of the earth was noticed even by the Dimon Kingdom thousands of miles away, and it was suspected that it was taking revenge on the ratmen.

"Haven't found it yet?" Annan would come and ask once a day.

Idilia shook her head: "No."

…This is a boundless piece of dark silk, with stardust of consciousness floating in absolute silence.

There is no up or down, no gravity, no wind, no temperature, no time. It is like the void, but different from the void... because there is light here.

The aurora was as soft as a ribbon, as thick as asphalt, and stretched across an unknown distance. There were colorful spots of light all around, some as bright as the sun, some as cold as the moon, but most of them were as twinkling as stars.

This is the subspace, where the consciousness of all intelligent creatures is projected.

The Warp is not a physically existing dimension and is worse than the Void... At least there are some Void life and evil gods in the Void, but the Warp is a place where consciousness is projected and no life exists.

The absence of life means there is no soil for life to survive.

The psyker's abilities also only damage the target by attacking the projection of the warp.

The Black Watch Corps appears here in its original form.

The result was that the soldiers were like coins thrown into the deep sea, tumbling slowly in absolute silence, accidentally touching the tentacles of light that swam around like jellyfish, with countless emotions running through their minds.

Centurion Tom suddenly screamed, raised his sword with his right arm uncontrollably and swung it at his comrade Kane: "You stole my merit!"

The pupils of the wizard Horreg reflected the light spots and split into compound eyes: "I was the one who put out the fire in the northern outpost a year ago!"

The elite soldiers who were determined enough to face the Demon Lord without fear were lost in the light spots.

They heard whispers among these spots of light, ribbons, and stars, and saw that just as Grand Master Albek was about to warn the soldiers, he heard his younger brother's plea from one of the aurora beams: "Brother, don't kill me..."

He suddenly froze there, as if he had lost all his strength. He stared blankly at the broken face with tears and snot streaming down his face, and moved back in fear.

"Do not……"

“Wake up…wake up!”

The sudden outburst of psychic energy seemed to create a ripple in the quiet subspace, awakening all the soldiers who were captured by emotions around them. They looked towards the source of the ripples, and saw Erin bleeding from all seven orifices because of releasing psychic energy beyond her ability.

With tears in his eyes, Albek remembered that Erlin seemed to have the talent of a psychic.

Recalling the moment when the transmission failed, the feeling of weightlessness as if the soul was pulled out of the body, coupled with the scenery of this space, Albek shouted: "This is the subspace, everyone, do not touch the light ball, save Erin!"

These auroras do not exist in reality, but are the condensation of emotions projected into the warp: regret is a dark purple flocculent cloud, jealousy is a fluorescent green spiral ribbon, and lust is a coral-colored nebula veil.

A soldier failed to react in time, his palm brushed past a blue aurora, and he was instantly pulled into his mother's dying bed.

The soldiers near Erin immediately "swam" towards her like dog paddling. A mage subconsciously tried to cast a spell, but was instantly backfired.

"Don't communicate with magic elements, you can only use the magic power of the magic vortex!" A great wizard cast a mental recovery, and the magic power was quickly annihilated in the subspace, but it still managed to stabilize Erin's situation.
