[Thank you to Lyz2010, manianLB, I Hate That Woman, Blazing Sun Shattering Clouds, Corpse Wash, Yi Dongtian, Sam Cai (squeezed out four more, are there any more?) and other brothers for their monthly tickets. Today, I found out that this week's essence has been used up. The brothers who haven't added it will make up for it next week. This is the first time in two weeks that there isn't enough essence, haha.]
"Gene optimization fluid is?" Lucy interrupted the admiral.
Jertais looked at the empress and raised his thick eyebrows, "That's part of the Golden Tree Project. Its function is to improve our existing genes and prolong our aging. We don't need to cross the Level 30 barrier to have a long life." More importantly, it can increase our combat strength rapidly. This is the key to Anthony's persuasion that everyone use the optimization fluid. "Under the threat of the ice wind, we need more combat strength to protect Taryn and Aisha."
"In any case, Anthony succeeded and became the first trial taker. After injecting the optimization fluid, he did indeed become younger and returned to the most precious golden age of his life. At that time, people went crazy for it, but under my insistence, we still did not open the optimization fluid. We still need to observe for a period of time. Soon, a year passed. Anthony did not show any abnormalities, but his strength had grown a lot during this year. The observation period soon ended, and under pressure, I could only agree to provide the optimization fluid to the people. "
"But no one would have thought that not long after I made this decision, the nightmare would begin …"
After all the people of Taryn and Aisha were injected with the optimization fluid, Anthony underwent a mutation. His genes had undergone a serious mutation, and even the repair technology that the people of Adahua Planet had mastered at that time could not reverse Anthony's changes. He shed his long golden hair, and his formerly robust muscles quickly atrophied, turning from a strong man to a thin man. Not only that, Anthony's body began to deform, his facial features distorted, his hands and feet deformed. In the end, he couldn't stand his mutation and chose to escape from Taryn and Aisha.
"Only then did I know that the side effects of the optimization fluid had such a long incubation period. But it was too late. My people had already been injected with the optimization fluid, and in the near future, they would become like Anthony. I was the only one who didn't plan to use the optimization fluid and was lucky enough to escape. At this time, the people who had been injected with the optimization fluid fell into a low mood, and even began to show signs of suicide. In order to save the city, I decided to ask the expeditionary army for help. However, the Ice Wind Army was guarding outside the city. Every time our troops set off, they would be intercepted and killed by it. That cunning, cruel worm, it wants to exhaust us to death in this city! "
Gertais' expression was rather angry, and his voice became loud and clear. "That reptile thinks that we can only sit and wait for death, but it doesn't know that we still have a trump card in our hands. Those are War Puppets, Steel Edge Warriors who are not afraid of death! "
Lucy's eyes lit up. "Steel Edge Warrior?"
"Yes, when I left the expeditionary army, I took a group of Steel Edge Warriors with me for emergencies. But I don't want to use them until the last possible moment. The expeditionary army will use them to find Aisha in Taryn, but I can't care about that right now. " Jertais waved his hand and said, "We will reassemble this batch of steel soldiers and plan to give the Ice Wind a head-on blow. Unfortunately, the gods abandoned us in the end. Anthony's side effects lurked for a full year, but everyone's bodies began to mutate in less than three months. "
"When the last Steel Edge Warrior was assembled, I found that Aisha in Taryn had already become a kingdom of monsters. My former friends, lovers, and everyone I knew, they all turned into monsters like Anthony. What made me even more desperate was that they had lost their minds after the mutation. Only one thing didn't change. They still loved the Taryn gems so much … "
"They became them, and they became the lackeys of the Ice Wind Army, the guardians of the Taryn gems, hostile to all life that entered Aisha in Taryn. I had a hundred steel soldiers on hand, and with the strength of these steel soldiers, I could have left Aisha in Taryn. But I couldn't leave, and I didn't want to leave. I have the responsibility to record all of this and let the people from my homeland know the answer. "A faint sorrow surged between Jertais' brows." Friend from my homeland, I beg you. If those poor people have not yet found peace, please let them rest. In return, I can only give you the Steel Edge Warriors and a collection of equipment. This is my, Jertais' last and final wish … "
After saying this, the image of the admiral stopped. The light on the crystal platform changed, and then the throne next to it began to move. Due to the movement of the throne, the admiral's corpse on it also shook. A skull rolled down from it, but when it fell to the ground, it scattered into ashes. When the throne stopped moving, there was no longer the admiral's corpse on it, only a red robe and his ashes.
Seeing this scene, Allen and Lucy looked at each other and sighed. However, their gazes were quickly attracted by the deep passage that was revealed after the throne moved. There were lights that lit up the passage. Allen still walked in front, and Lucy picked up the crystal plate from the crystal platform. Now that it was certain that this crystal plate was the key to operating the entire hall, she naturally had to bring it with her. After everyone walked down the passage, they came to an empty underground hall.
The hall was made of thick stone, and thick stone pillars were divided into four rows to support the dome. When a circle of crystals buried in the dome of the hall lit up with a soft and bright light, tall figures suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes. When they first saw them, they were really shocked, but when they looked carefully, they found that these steel puppets were like decorations, not moving at all.
Jertais had hidden a hundred Steel Edge Warriors in this underground hall. These Steel Edge Warriors were inlaid with dark iron armor. The iron armor was decorated with ferocious beasts and was covered with straight armor spikes. From afar, they looked like iron hedgehogs. They were equipped with spears that weighed hundreds of kilograms, large swords that were covered with fierce serrations, or giant axes that were as big as tables. Although the weapons were different, they were all heavy weapons. One could imagine the scene of flesh and blood flying when these Steel Edge Warriors charged into the enemy's formation. Allen also found a weapon similar to a beam cannon on their backs. The barrel was located behind the left shoulder of each Steel Edge Warrior, and there was a channel between the barrel and the warrior. It seemed that this group of warriors was not just used to charge and break through the enemy lines.
The leader of the Steel Edge Warriors was the most eye-catching. Its armor was painted dark red, and there was a huge crystal embedded in its chest. The warrior leaned on a huge sword, and the T-shaped slit on its helmet was dark, as if it was sleeping. On the ring finger of the warrior's right hand, there was a golden ring with a rose pattern on it. Lucy handed the crystal plate to Allen, walked over, and took off the ring on the warrior's finger.
She put the ring on her finger, and the ring immediately tightened. Lucy suddenly felt a pain on her finger. It was a row of thin crystal thorns that was being retracted from the inside of the ring. The row of crystal thorns was stained with Lucy's blood. When the crystal thorns were stored in the ring, all the patterns on the surface of the ring lit up. The rose in the middle of the ring was only half closed, but when the ring lit up, the rose was in full bloom.
At the same time, the gap in the helmet of the leading warrior in dark red armor flashed twice, and then two orange-colored lights lit up. As if waking up from a deep sleep, the crystal on the warrior's chest lit up, and a few armor leaves extended out from the surroundings to cover the crystal. With a soft hum, all the patterns on the warrior's armor lit up with the crystal as the origin. It held a longsword in one hand and half-knelt down, the other hand covering its chest. A male voice sounded from under the helmet, "Gertais is at your disposal."
The few of them looked at each other.
Lucy shook the ring on her hand and said, "This is the tool to activate them. As for this big guy, he should be the leader of this group of warriors. Warrior leaders are special combat units. Apart from being more powerful, more importantly, they are the command nodes of the Steel Edge Warriors. However, Gertais actually named it after himself. It seems that the Admiral has always been brooding over his departure from the expeditionary army … "
As he spoke, the helmets of the other Steel Edge Warriors lit up. This group of Steel Edge Warriors, who had been silent for an unknown period of time, had finally awakened.
Apart from the hundred Steel Edge Warriors in the underground hall, there was also the so-called equipment that Gertais had mentioned. When the warrior leader, Gertais, opened the intact boxes in front of everyone and looked at the variety of equipment, Allen muttered, "This is probably the so-called nouveau riche, right?"
Lucy covered her mouth and chuckled. "Let's see what's suitable for everyone."
Gertais had left behind a lot of equipment, but these equipment should be his private collection. There were many types, but there were no duplicates, so it was basically impossible to use them to arm the army. However, there were more than enough experts in the armed team. Lucy chose a set of armor called "Reverse Scale" for Allen. This was a set of scale armor made of many scales that were as thin as paper and could be worn close to the body. Its powerful defensive power was as hard as the legendary scales of a dragon, just like its name said. Moreover, the reverse scale had a special ability. When the armor suffered major damage, it would automatically activate "Dragon Might". According to the instructions left on the armor by Gertais, this ability was similar to spiritual intimidation, and it could cause creatures within the range of Dragon Might to suffer a huge spiritual impact.
The impact from the will often ignored the opponent's Origin Energy level. Even a mentally tough person would make a mistake when suddenly suffering from the impact of Dragon Might. Without a doubt, this ability was extremely powerful whether it was used to counterattack or save one's life.
