That night, a piece of information was delivered to Allen. The information was sent by Maddie, saying that Lu Qi had asked her to pass on the information. Allen's spirits rose. He knew that it was information about the secret weapon that Bali had brought from Demonic Ring City.
After reading the information, Allen let out a heavy sigh, his expression extremely solemn.
Seeing this, Lola asked curiously, "What, is that weapon very powerful?"
"Yes, Morocco also said that the weapon is known to be able to kill anyone below the Sovereign Realm with a single strike. I thought it was an exaggeration, but if the information provided by Lu Qi is correct, then Morocco's words are not exaggerated at all. " Allen smiled bitterly and said, "You only need to think about how powerful it is to use the Heart of the Stars as its driving source."
Lola was surprised. Of course, she knew what the Heart of the Stars was. That was the core of the planet. At that time, Allen had used it to release a bit of Origin Energy, allowing her, Hubble, and the others to successfully advance. One could imagine that the so-called secret weapon required the Heart of the Stars as its driving source. It was not an exaggeration to describe how powerful it was. Lola suddenly thought of something and said, "When we first arrived in Agares, we obtained the Heart of the Stars from the Kidds. Then could this Heart of the Stars be … "
Allen continued for her, "That's right, that Heart of the Stars should have been prepared for this weapon."
"In that case, the Devil Shadow Kingdom shouldn't have a second Heart of the Stars. Then it shouldn't be a threat at all, right?"
"No, Lu Qi has already pointed out in the intelligence that the weapons engineers of the Devil Shadow Kingdom have modified it. They used another type of energy to replace the Heart of the Stars as the driving source of this weapon … "
"What? There's actually another energy that can replace the Heart of the Stars?"
"Yes." Allen said in a deep voice, "It's life!"
'"As long as enough lives are sacrificed, the Origin Energy released by the sacrifices can replace the Heart of the Stars. Moreover, the energy of life is even more powerful than the Star Core. Lu Qi said that if necessary, Bali would probably use the residents of Mokedan as sacrifices to charge the weapon. "
Lola couldn't help but cover her mouth and whisper, "This is too cruel!"
"This is the Barbarians. Besides, that person is Bali. It's not surprising that he has such a plan. I need to think of a way to deal with it. You should go and rest first. "
Lola nodded and left first. Allen was the only one left in the room, and his gaze returned to the information at hand. Lu Qi had written in the intelligence that this weapon was called "Endless Destruction" by the Specter Kingdom. When there was enough energy to drive it, it could shoot a kind of liquid substance. If this liquid substance were to enter one's body, then experts below the Supreme-Being level would be devoured by it, or even be annihilated without a trace.
At the beginning of the design, the ideal source of Endless Destruction was the Heart of the Stars. Especially the star core extracted from the young planet, it would make the Endless Annihilation even more powerful. That was why the Specter Kingdom had asked the Kidds to send such a Heart of the Stars. Unfortunately, Allen and the others had accidentally taken the Star Core. Right now, there was only a third of the energy left in the Heart of the Stars. It was currently being kept by Mitinus for use as a high-grade weapon or as a king.
After losing the Heart of the Stars, Spenak asked the weapons engineers of the Specter Kingdom to refine the Endless Destruction's driving source. After all, the Heart of the Stars wasn't something that could be found just by saying it was there. Moreover, if he randomly extracted the Star Core, it would attract the attention and interference of Adahua Planet, causing this weapon to be exposed in advance. After accepting the Demon King's orders, the engineers of the Specter Kingdom had indeed worked hard. They quickly found a new energy source that could replace the Heart of the Stars, and that was life energy.
Especially the life energy of the Barbarians, they were far stronger than any other race in the universe. Moreover, the violent nature of the Barbarians, using their life as a driving source, further increased the power of Endless Destruction. Lu Qi also found out that before the Endless Destruction arrived at Mokedan, many townspeople had suddenly disappeared along the way. She suspected that those missing townspeople had become sacrificial victims of the Endless Destruction's experiments.
In those few words, Allen smelled a strong smell of blood. This kind of thing was completely unimaginable on other planets. No race would casually sacrifice a large number of their compatriots for the sake of experimenting with a weapon like the Barbarians. This was also the terrifying thing about the Barbarians. Their reproduction rate was so fast that Spenak didn't care about the lives of his empire's people. To the Demon King, this sacrifice would only take ten years at most to make up for, and there would even be more people at that time.
After reading the information, Allen thought of another problem.
Without a doubt, Endless Destruction should be a major secret of the Specter Kingdom. Even if this weapon was in Mokedan right now, even if a merchant like Morocco had heard of it. However, the strength of an assassination guild was actually able to find out so much information. Allen suspected that there was another force behind Lu Qi. Otherwise, if a random guild could dig out the secrets of the Demonic Shadow Kingdom, then this empire would be too unbearable.
The next day, Allen appeared in the barracks outside Gale City. There was no passionate speech, no incitement, no mobilization. Allen just pointed north, "Open camp, go to war!"
On that day, the 30,000 Forgotten Realm troops followed Allen out of the camp to welcome the army coming from Mokedan. Allen planned to eat the enemy at the Hill of the God of Death, 30,000 against 30,000.
Between Mokedan and the Great Wasteland was a large desert called the Hill of the God of Death. Before Mokedan was only one of the three border towns, in the era when the Great Wasteland was still a wasteland, the Hill of the God of Death was definitely a place that made people's expressions change. There were traps everywhere in this desert, and the ubiquitous quicksand belt had devoured countless lives. Perhaps after digging up the sand, a large number of corpses could be seen beneath the desert. It was like a huge colorless graveyard. Living in that graveyard were alien insects that could move freely in the sand. The smallest alien insects were as thick as tree trunks, and the large alien insects were as thick as oil barrels. They were the living nightmares of travelers, the true masters of the Hill of the God of Death.
These alien insects, known as Death Worms, usually appeared in groups. The insects would build their nests in the Hill of the God of Death's desert. If one accidentally fell into the nest, it would be an irrecoverable end. Even a Dominator level expert would not be willing to provoke these insects easily. Many areas of the Hill of the God of Death's desert were quicksand areas. The sand often flowed, so the location of the insect nests often changed. Before the Great Wasteland and Mokedan became strong, travelers would always tremble with fear when they passed through the desert. But now, the chances of being attacked by Death Worms had dropped significantly. In order to facilitate travel, a large merchant spent money to capture Death Worms and study their physiological structure. In the end, he discovered the weakness of these worms. The Death Worms that had lived under the desert for many years were naturally afraid of a specific wave of sound. Based on this, the insect repellent device could emit special insect waves that only the Death Worms could hear to drive away possible swarms of insects.
However, this method might not necessarily work. Occasionally, the sound waves emitted by the insect repellent device would backfire and cause the swarm of insects to go berserk. But this was a small probability event, only happening two or three times in a decade. Therefore, the insect repellent device had always been a necessary device for land vehicles traveling between the two places.
Even the Shadow Army convoy heading to the Great Wasteland was no exception.
In front of the convoy, a row of troop transport vehicles were all equipped with vehicle repellent devices. The special sound waves emitted covered a large fan-shaped area in front of the convoy. On the evening of the same day the convoy entered the Hill of the God of Death, they passed by a giant insect nest. Under the driving of the sound waves from the convoy in front, thousands of insects were "overturning rivers and seas" in the desert. The scene was as spectacular as it could be. In particular, some of the thicker Death Worms would occasionally burrow out of the ground and burrow into the sand like dragons, causing dust to rise in all directions. Due to the insect slots, the convoy had to stop moving and wait for the insect repellent vehicle in front to drive away the swarm of insects for a certain distance before continuing.
The person in charge of commanding this army was an imperial general, Darcy. This general, who had been assigned to Mokedan by the empire three years ago, was ambitious and ranked first among the three generals of Mokedan. Compared to the other two generals, Darcy, who was much younger, knew very well that staying in Mokedan had no future. Therefore, from the day he was transferred to Mokedan, the general had been planning how to return to the eastern frontlines.
Only by being on the frontlines could one obtain military merits. Only by being on the frontlines could one continue to climb up. This was almost the consensus of the imperial generals.
However, here in Mokedan, not to mention military merits, there wasn't even a single war. For a full three years, Darcy didn't even have the chance to make a move, let alone make a name for himself. When Berserk Demon Bali arrived, he finally saw hope. Everyone knew how cruel Bali was, but at the same time, they also knew that working under this Grand Superintendent had the highest death rate and the fastest promotion. Thus, Bali had just arrived in Mokedan, and before he could even take over Grant's power, Darcy had already sworn an oath to Bali.
It was only natural for Bali to appoint him as the commander-in-chief for this expedition to the Great Wastelands.
Right now, there was only one thing Darcy wanted to do, suppress the Great Wastelands and break up the rumored army. This would be a great contribution, enough for him to return to the eastern frontlines. Darcy didn't even think of failure, even with a hundred thousand troops stationed in Gale City. However, he knew that even if the other party refused to disband the army and even counterattacked, the Great Wasteland would be mercilessly suppressed by Bali. Darcy believed that as long as the head of the common lord of the wasteland was still normal, he would have to obediently disband the army.
