Cataclysm King

Chapter 571: Leader of the Revolutionary Army "Anti-Law" Long Yu

The "Devil's Gate" is a 300-meter-wide canyon in the Kiran Mountains east of Rigg City.

When viewed from a far enough distance, it looked like there was a crack in the middle of the two huge stone doors, which was a spectacular sight.

It's like a door to an unknown world.

If the army of the Royal Court of Oran wants to advance eastward, this is also the necessary throat.

Because this area is rich in green copper and the rocks are extremely hard, the Kiran Mountains are also a natural military defense line.

The alliance army led by the New World Science and Technology City spent several months building a steel military fortress in the canyon here.

At this moment, thousands of artillery positions were densely carved out on the rock walls.

They are like honeycomb eyes, covering the rocks on both sides of the canyon.

The characteristics of artillery in this world are "big and rough", without precise directionality, so the mechanics have maximized the caliber and volume of ammunition.

The extra-large caliber gun barrel can also make up the gap between ordinary ammunition and magic energy shells to the greatest extent possible.

This would save enough money in the area of ​​ammunition, which is the largest consumer in warfare.

There are many heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 600 mm.

Those monsters weighing thousands of tons would have a door placed at a certain distance.

It was like the bared fangs of a wild beast, adding a bit of hideousness to the entire mountain range.

On the rock wall, tower cranes are still busy lifting equipment, and various workers wearing mechanical exoskeletons are constantly reinforcing the fortifications.

They had to make this line of defense as strong as possible before the Oran royal court's army arrived.

In the command post in the belly of the mountain, a group of senior Allied Forces officials and military advisers gathered together.

They were holding a heated pre-war meeting.

Chujiu sat at the center of the round table, and next to her was the ninth-rank "Faded One" Griffith;
From the Alliance side, Catalina had not yet arrived. Instead, the second-in-command, Deputy Commander Rogers, had one hand replaced with a mechanical prosthesis.
On the New World side, Dong Qi is still at the front line, and the person attending the meeting is Douglas, the president of the Science and Technology City;
The revolutionary army's leader who attended the meeting was the mysterious leader, the "resistance to the law" Long Yu, who was rarely seen. He was a top-ranked figure who had been on the East Wilderness's wanted list for more than 30 years. He was a silent white-haired man, and his age was hard to tell. He looked like he was in his twenties or thirties, but the light in his eyes was unusually deep.

Ji Xun also sat at the round table, but he hardly spoke.

He is more like a mascot, a bridge for major forces to build trust and quickly run in.

There were maps hanging on the walls of the conference room, and a sand table near Rig City in the middle of the table.

The staff officers are compiling intelligence.

"According to the intelligence that just arrived, the vanguard of the Oran court has arrived at Rig City. The main force of King Arthur is only a day's journey away. They should be assembled in the next few days and will launch an attack."

"According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, the main forces assembled by the Orlan Royal Court include thirteen army groups, with a total of more than one million people. There are also logistics and slave armies, with a total of more than three million people. Our main forces are the Alliance Army and the New World Mechanical Army, and there are only a total of 100,000 people who can participate in the battle. If we really confront them head-on, we basically have no chance of winning. So we can only fight a positional war."

"Yes. The Kielan defense line already has a strong enough firepower configuration. Our artillery range is also generally better than that of the Oran royal family. The difference in numbers doesn't matter much in a fight. As long as we drag it out long enough and the Titan armor on the New World side goes offline, our chances of winning will get higher and higher."

"We are not afraid of a normal war. However, Arachne, the moon goddess of the Orlan court, and the two foreign gods are a big problem. What we have to worry about now is the bad weather, insect plagues and religious pollution."

"Yes. The logistics department is already focusing on defense at this point."

"Everyone, how is the decapitation plan going? As long as King Orlan is dead, the enemy army will collapse."

"It's very difficult. There is almost no progress. There are three Outer Gods in the Orlan Court, as well as the King's Four Knights, at least three Titan armors and the mechanical angel. None of the ninth-order people we sent have returned, and there is no news either."

"Normally, assassination is impossible. But King Arthur has been contaminated by the mark of Tyrant, and he might make some irrational decisions. We can make some arrangements in this regard, such as provoking him to act rashly."

"."

Ji Xun had been listening silently, and didn't say anything because he had already gone over the plan that everyone was discussing countless times in his mind.

As of now, the outcome of the battle between the two sides is indeed difficult to determine, as there are too many uncertain factors.

On the surface, the Oran Royal Court does have an absolute advantage.

But as discussed, that bloated and huge million-strong army also has many disadvantages, and the biggest uncertainty is the tyrant Arthur.

Now, every day, a large number of Oran’s former ministers come to the exiled Princess Chujiu for refuge, which shows the situation inside the Oran royal court.

Ji Xun seemed to see the "Mad King" Alduin, who was deserted by his friends and relatives at the end of Talen.

King Arthur is now the biggest uncertainty.

Neither side has the ability to behead the other, so they can only fight to see who can last the longest.

Although the coalition forces have fewer people, they require fewer logistical resources, have efficient dispatch, and can concentrate their superior forces to fight a sharp knife battle.

Furthermore, with the iron-clad Kiran Line of Defense, as long as there is sufficient ammunition, the longer the battle lasts, the more advantageous it will be.

But this is the norm.

There were too many "surprises" in Ji Xun's deduction.

The three outer gods are just one of them. There is also the Iris Corps that has withdrawn from the East Wasteland and is secretly spying on them. Even the Dragon God and the two outer gods from the South Continent may not really ignore this place.
These are all potential risks that can affect the outcome of the war.

Ji Xun didn't say anything.

Because there's no point in saying it.

If he doesn't say it, it's all inference. Even if he says it, he can't think of a solution, and neither can others.

The meeting continues.

Just as he was thinking, Ji Xun suddenly noticed a pair of eyes looking at him.

He looked over and saw it was the leader of the revolutionary army, the "anti-French" Long Yu.

They looked at each other and nodded.

Ji Xun felt as if his inner thoughts were seen through.

This is no illusion.

Ji Xun knew that this was the other party's ability - to see into human nature.

He was not only the leader of the revolutionary army, but also Qin Rushi's teacher.

Others knew very little about Long Yu. Even within the revolutionary army, except for a few cadres, no one knew enough about this mysterious leader.

But Ji Xun had seen this person in Qin Rushi's memory. Although the other party didn't know him, he was already very familiar with this person.

This is a being that is not only powerful in combat, but also extremely strong in heart.

In Qin Rushi's words, Long Yu's strength was very strong, even she had never seen him use his full strength.

The fact that he was able to remain unscathed despite decades of federal encirclement and suppression is a clear example.

Ascetic, saint, great soul, pure person, great revolutionary. All these labels can be attached to Long Yu.

Ji Xun had seen him in Qin Rushi’s memory, and he felt very much like Gong Wu. His rank was not high, but his realm was extremely high.

Moreover, this person's career sequence is very special, and his abilities are so strong that they are almost demonic.

His career sequence is [Diamond 9 - Human Desire].

The ability studied by this sequence is "human desire", and the sequence's exclusive magic is the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Pride, envy, wrath, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust are the seven deadly sins deep in the human soul.

It is said that if this secret method is practiced to the highest level, one can get rid of one's human weaknesses and reach the state of a saint.

This is a profession that requires insight into human nature and has powerful abilities.

However, the title of the godhead pointed to by Path 9 is [Destruction], which is even more interesting.

Ji Xun was looking at the "resistance to the law" Long Yu.

The other party was also sizing him up.

Ji Xun certainly noticed that, and that person seemed to be interested in him as well.

Soon, the meeting ended and everyone left one after another.

The "anti-law fighter" Long Yu had just arrived at the Jilan defense line today and had no time to say hello.

Ji Xun also met him for the first time in the conference room.

He just stood up and prepared to chat for a few words, but the white-haired Long Yu took the initiative to greet him, "Friend Ji Xun."

The word "little friend" is not an overstatement.

This guy has been on the wanted list for more than 30 years. It is said that he had white hair when he was on the list. I guess he must be quite old.

Ji Xun also said politely: "Senior Long."

It's not just because of age, but also because the other party is Qin Rushi's teacher, so using honorifics is also polite.

Long Yu, however, didn't care about the details of the address and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite."

He said, "I have heard the cadres talk about you before. When I saw you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

Ji Xun smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior."

He knew that the other party was not complimenting him out of courtesy, but that he really saw how special he was.

"It may be true for others, but it is not enough for you, my friend."

Long Yu smiled and shook his head. He said the purpose of his greeting and said, "I heard about the situation in the South Continent from the cadres who came back. Thank you for your help, otherwise we might have suffered a great loss and would not have been able to bring back those precious materials. It is also thanks to those materials that I was able to advance by chance."

"."

Ji Xun smiled and didn't want to take credit for it.

The other party is indeed right.

If the revolutionary army went to the southern continent without him, the gains would be much less.

But at the same time, without him, they probably wouldn't go to the Dead Zone. With Qin Ru in the team, there was no risk at all.

When people at this level say thank you, it means they really take it to heart.

Long Yu didn't waste any more time, and turned to look at Ji Xun. He didn't hide his privacy, but directly reminded him: "Your soul is in very dangerous condition. I heard before that you are deformed? If you can't find a better way, you can follow my career sequence. The magical secret method of "Seven Deadly Sins" can suppress human desires and can suppress mental deformation to the greatest extent possible."

No wonder the other party would remind you.

Ji Xun's current soul state has a 50-50 probability of being a distorted witch and a normal person.

To outsiders, this situation seems to be heading towards a point of no return.

But in fact, he deliberately maintained this delicate balance of the witch.

It looks dangerous, but it is not safe at all.

Ji Xun dared to do this only because of Nan Jing, the high priest who was proficient in various secret methods, who helped to suppress her. Otherwise, she would have become a witch long ago.

He also realized that the leader of the revolutionary army spoke because he wanted to remind him.

Facing the other party's kindness, before Ji Xun could respond,
Long Yu had already seen through his thoughts, and shook her head and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that my friend has already found a solution, and I was worrying too much."

Ji Xun didn't think the other party was being nosy. Instead, he thanked the kindness and said, "Thank you for your reminder, senior. My current condition is indeed very dangerous."

The two of them walked and talked.

He talked about his own situation and explained: "Although this kind of distortion is dangerous, it is also a kind of extraordinary balance. At present, it is a great help for me to comprehend some high-level laws." "Extraordinary balance?"

Long Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He had obviously heard of this before, but this was the first time he saw someone actually put it into practice in reality, and it had a complete and accurate pointing theory, so he was so shocked.

This is a secret of the divine level. If Ji Xun had not received guidance from Emperor Lanlingster, ordinary people would have no way to understand it.

In return for the favor, the other party was Qin Rushi's teacher, so Ji Xun did not hesitate to explain a little more: "Well. This is a divine theory. When I was in the extraordinary stage, I also discovered by chance that this kind of balance was helpful for cultivation."

Looking at the other person's frowning expression in deep thought, he knew that it was obvious that the other person understood something.

This made Ji Xun even more certain that Long Yu's realm was really high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary seventh-level card master to have such a deep feeling about this extraordinary balance of compatibility.

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of a cannon battery.

The fort is on a rock wall, several hundred meters high, with a very wide view.

Ji Xun talked about his current understanding and practical experience of "opposites".

He is now at level eight, which is already at the top of the pyramid among card masters; and his amount of knowledge is simply not comparable to that of an ordinary level eight card master.

This conversation contains a huge amount of knowledge and is extremely valuable!
The experience of "opposites" is a precious and extraordinary knowledge that cannot be obtained anywhere else.

Of course Long Yu knows this!

So he also cherishes this opportunity for dialogue.

He was not at all proud of his identity as Qin Rushi's teacher. Instead, he listened and thought with great humility.

After hearing the following, in order to better understand the profound mysteries of the laws, Long Yu actually had his demon shadow appear behind him.

It was a being with seven heads and seven bodies, sometimes connected as one, sometimes separated, a contradictory and tangled existence.

It is the demon god pointed to by [Square 9-Human Desire] - Dante, the lord of hell.

This was also the first time that Ji Xun saw this demon god. He felt as if he saw that the ugliness of human nature was completely seen through and had no secrets in front of this demon god.

Since the other party could understand, he said a little more.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed.

The two didn't stop until the radio announced that it was time for dinner.

Long Yu came out of the state of enlightenment of traveling in the ocean of knowledge, with a complicated expression.

It has been many years since he last experienced this feeling of sudden enlightenment and a flood of new thoughts.

Ji Xun's words opened a door to the highest realm for him, which allowed Long Yu to see a brand new world.

His realm was already extremely high, but there was not enough solid evidence to prove that the path he was taking was correct.

It's like a castle in the air without a blueprint.

And now, Ji Xun's words were like a blueprint, setting a path for him to reach the top in the future.

Without time to digest those insights, Long Yu looked at Ji Xun beside him and said sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, little friend."

Originally, he wanted to repay the other party for helping the revolutionary army in the southern continent by solving his distortion problem.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not help, but because of him, he encountered an unimaginable great opportunity!
As he spoke, he took out a booklet that seemed to have been prepared long ago, and said: "This is the magic secret method of the Seven Deadly Sins that I practice on this path. I heard that your soul was in a bad state, so I thought it might be helpful. Now it seems that your realm is far higher than I thought. I was worrying too much, hahaha."

As he said this, the revolutionary army leader laughed heartily at himself.

I originally wanted to repay the favors I owed to the cadres in the Southern Continent, but now I see that I owe them even more.

Ji Xun shook his head, "Senior, you are too polite."

Of course he saw the other party's good intentions.

Even if I don't say what I said before, the other party will still send out the secret method of "Seven Deadly Sins".

Although Ji Xun does not need to suppress distortion at the moment, this secret method is still very useful to him.

This is the most top-level secret method to restrain the soul. It can be used to restrain those independent personalities in the mind that sometimes cause trouble.

Ji Xun took over the secret method and said, "I'll go back and take a look. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you for advice another day."

"Well. Then I'll go upstairs first. Haha, the cadres must have been waiting for me to discuss the content of the meeting for a long time."

The self-deprecating look on Long Yu's face did not diminish, but he said nothing more.

He knew that the other party gave him enough face.

The extraordinary opposing contents just mentioned are enough for me to comprehend for a long time.

There will definitely be more doubts by then, and I may need to ask for advice.

As he turned and left, a relieved smile appeared on the face of the revolutionary army leader.

After leading the revolutionary army in struggle for decades, he seemed to see the dawn of hope for the first time.

Ji Xun also realized that it was time for dinner.

Inside the Kiran Line of Defense are numerous passages that are numbered.

Looking at the number "707" on the wall, the new world's mecha training and modification room is in the "710" area nearby.

Dong Qi should be there too.

After thinking about it, Ji Xun walked straight towards the training room.

Everyone in the new world knows Dong Qi, so now they all know Ji Xun.

As he walked along, people greeted him along the way.

Some bold girls even come to see what the handsome guy who is said to have conquered the "first female mechanical god of war" in their new world looks like.

Ji Xun walked to area 710, where there were several huge mechanical workshops where machines would modify and repair armor.

Even from a long distance away, you can smell the unique smell of steel and oil mixed with the mecha.

Before Ji Xun could ask, several young mechanics who met him at the door pointed out the direction: "Mr. Ji Xun, are you looking for the team leader? She is inside, in cabin number three."

"OK, thanks."

Ji Xun greeted them with a smile, and after watching the little girls who were laughing with their hands covering their mouths leave, he also walked in.

When they found cabin number three, Dong Qi was indeed inside.

The cabin is filled with various instruments, tools and mechanical accessories.

The tall Titan armor was in the center of the cabin.

A single-soldier magic laser cannon as thick as a person was suspended in the air by a robotic arm. Colorful tubes were connected to the control room of the mecha, and it seemed that they were testing the compatibility of the new weapons and the mecha.

In front of the mecha, a girl in an oil-stained mechanic's uniform was looking at the data in her hand intently.

It was Dong Qi.

When she heard the door open, she saw that it was Ji Xun who came. She quickly put down the instrument display screen in her hand, walked over excitedly, and hugged his neck: "Why are you here?"

Ji Xun smiled and said, "It's time for dinner. I happened to be nearby, so I came to see you."

Dong Qi had obviously forgotten the time. "Ah? It's already time for dinner?"

Ji Xun guessed that was the case, "How is the modification? If it can fit, let's eat first."

"Yeah. It'll take a while. I'll save the information and it will be fine."

Dong Qi tilted her head, her pretty face full of joy, "Then you wait for me?"

Her beloved machines and lover were both here, so she was naturally very happy.

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded, and looked at Dong Qi who turned around happily and went back to work, a faint smile appeared on his brows.

Miss Qiqi was busy, and Ji Xun was looking at the Titan armor that had been almost modified with interest.

Dong Qi has been busy with this work during this period.

The Titan design is indeed perfect, but because the armor is standard equipment and takes inclusiveness into consideration, it lacks uniqueness.

In order to fully match the operator's habits and combat style, some modifications are required.

Especially since this Titan armor was manufactured by the Oran Royal Court Workshop, the enemy knows all the data of this mecha.

This will be very disadvantageous in future battlefields.

Dong Qi needs to modify some new things that the enemy can't think of, and make this mecha more suitable for him.

Ji Xun looked at Dong Qi who was deeply focused in an instant, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Thinking back to the first time I saw it in the small bookstore outside the Hunter's Guild, it seemed like it was just yesterday. But now, it seems like it was actually several years ago.

Miss Qiqi, who was the gang leader at the time, showed him the way to buy the breathing method on the black market. Only then did Ji Xun get the introductory formula of "gluttony", which led to everything that happened later.

As he thought about it, Ji Xun had a strange feeling. It seemed as if any small encounter in fate was an indispensable part of the future.

It is like a "small stone" on the road of life, which may seem insignificant at the time. But when you really walk far enough and look back, you will realize that the small stone has affected the entire destiny line.

For a moment, the laws of the universe in Ji Xun's eyes seemed to flow clearly.

As if he had noticed the gaze behind him, Dong Qi turned around and a meaningful smile appeared at the corners of his smart eyes: "What are you thinking about?"

Ji Xun said: "I thought about it. Miss Qiqi is really beautiful."

Dong Qi was like a little girl being praised. She did not hide her joy at all and smiled: "Really? Haha, I think so too."

As she spoke, she came over and hugged Ji Xun affectionately: "Let's go, let's eat."

Ji Xun nodded.

However, just as the two were about to walk out of the cabin door, suddenly, the alarm in the defense line sounded loudly.

Hearing the shrill alarm, Ji Xun and Dong Qi frowned instantly.

Because they saw what happened from the display in the cabin.

Outside, above the Hell's Gate Canyon, a bright moon hung high in the sky at some point.

It was like the eye of a demon, watching all the movements of the entire defense line.

Ji Xun frowned, but then relaxed his brows and murmured, "The people from the Oran Royal Court have taken action."

Dong Qijing's eyes sparkled and she nodded, "Yes."

It was expected, but not surprising.

This bright moon is like the fuse that ignites the explosives.

The moment Mars lit up, it was decided that an inevitable battle had begun.
