How could the Iron Foundry Legion, one of the four great legions of the Astronomy Association, be absent from the War of the Worlds?
Especially those teams that had participated in the battle against the Decaying Dream, those carefully cultivated elites — after receiving so many resources and preferential treatment, how could they just stand by and watch when a disaster struck?
They were soldiers who had high hopes placed on them, tools that had been carefully created, heroes that had been selected and honed from ordinary people.
This was their mission.
From the moment they set foot on this path, there was only one result waiting for them — in the long and drawn-out wars, ambushes, assaults, and countless missions, they would gradually wither away until one day, they would be completely wiped out.
When Crystal Lattice 1-7 stood alone in front of him, Huai Shi should have understood.
He actually understood.
He just subconsciously avoided the answer.
Crystal Lattice 1-7 was silent and speechless. He just raised his right arm and showed Huai Shi his past achievements — everything that Crystal Lattice Team 1 had once created.
Seven dim stars, the special-class achievements obtained from seven missions that had protected an entire city and the lives of more than 100,000 people.
The gradually peeling paint on the badges seemed to have a piercing light, causing Huai Shi to look away.
He sighed silently.
Under the gloomy sky, a stinky wind blew from afar, mixed with the smell of blood and ashes.
Plumes of burning smoke rose from the ground even further away. Even though there was a break in the great battle, the scattered fights and battles still filled every corner.
And on the other side of the ground, in the domain that seemed to be shrouded in eternal darkness and dark clouds, there were still shocking lightning flashing, illuminating the outlines of volcanoes and flowing lava on the ground, as well as the outlines of strange settlements.
Darkness filled the air.
In silence, Huai Shi looked around at this devastated world, at this place where countless people were buried.
After a long time.
"The moldy smell is a bit strong," he whispered.
"No matter what, we should open the windows and let in some air, right?"
Crystal Lattice 1-7 and the soldiers were puzzled. They looked at each other, but they didn't know what he was talking about.
Then, they saw that the young man raised his hand again.
He looked at the hazy sky above his head.
In that instant, it was as if thick ink had dripped into the gloomy clouds, spreading out in an instant. Everywhere it passed, everything was dyed pitch-black, enveloping everything and spreading in all directions.
Amidst the bone-chilling darkness, a massive silhouette slowly emerged from the protection of countless raging thunderbolts.
The iron whale moved majestically between heaven and earth. Countless iron wings tore through the dark clouds and flew up in the storm, looking down at all the tiny creatures below.
When the vast sound of the organ burst forth, a long echo like the song of a whale filled the sky.
The enraged Heavenly Palace descended upon this place.
The Heavenly Gate opened.
Towards the domain of hell in the distance.
Then, an intense light burst forth.
The flames surged in the sky like a long river. They flew straight forward without any bend towards the end of the sky. Wherever they passed, all the haze was torn apart and evaporated.
Cut!
It was as if a nailed window in a dusty house had been opened in an instant.
A ray of light from the Realm of Discovery once again shone on this barren desert, illuminating the eyes of countless people.
Then, endless light and heat shone into the deepest part of the darkness.
Breaking through the obstruction of the storm and thunderclouds, the heavy harpoon wedged into the earth of hell. As it cracked, endless light spewed out, engulfing everything in the spreading storm.
A hemisphere that was so dazzling that it burned through the retina suddenly appeared between the volcanoes and the settlements, burning everything within its range.
Then, the swirling fire turned into a rainstorm, sprinkling in all directions, forming a 'sweet rain' from the sky.
Nourishing all things.
The thunderbolts were like giant pillars, descending from the heavens. They wandered and spread, turning into giant webs that enveloped the countless settlements. Everything that they touched was disintegrated into dust.
There were more frost blades that rose from the ground wherever they passed, piercing through a large group hidden in the sand and rocks, propping them up, helping them to better bathe in the light bestowed by the Realm of Discovery.
Until now, the whistling hurricane blew from afar, rolling up billowing sand and dust, blowing past everyone's faces.
Furious roars burst out from the Realm of Hell.
Countless ferocious auras soared into the sky, rising into the sky in this sudden provocation.
Even the 'earth' that was injured suddenly propped up its body amidst the loud noise.
Just as the lava flowing from the volcanoes and countless storms, the thing that was originally thought to be a mountain slowly adjusted its angle, propping up limbs from the soil.
The huge body carried fortresses on its back, and the armor made of black iron seemed to be operating a huge factory. Thick smoke rose from the chimney.
The red light of the furnace illuminated the dark clouds.
And the towers and steel turrets were like needles, covering the whole body.
The monster that was hundreds of kilometers long had awakened. Through the gaps in its shell, a pair of eyes that were as empty as a dead fish's stared at the source of the lightning.
Malice swept over like a tide.
It looked at Huai Shi.
And Huai Shi was also looking at it.
On the other side of the world, amidst the sirens, totems representing the American gods appeared on the defensive line formed by countless huge pyramids.
The miracles were ready to be engraved.
The short stare only lasted for a moment. The resentful aura locked onto Huai Shi's position. After completely recording his Origin Form fluctuations, the giant beast's eyes slowly closed.
The Realm of Hell returned to silence once again.
As for Huai Shi, she finally averted her gaze.
"It seems that the greetings are almost done."
He patted the dust on his windbreaker, waved his hand, and called down the Nautilus's gangway. Finally, he looked at the Crystal Unit beside him. "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
This time, without waiting for Crystal Unit 1-7 to speak, the engineering soldier who knew his boss's character directly grabbed Huai Shi's hand, nodded with tears in his eyes, and replied in a trembling voice,
"Yes!"
.
The rest of the journey back was full of peace, and there were no more unexpected waves.
After all, Huai Shi had just arrived at the Sonora Defense Line for less than five minutes, and he had already made such big news. Anyone who was not blind had basically seen it.
Even if they were blind, they could still feel the waves that shook the entire border.
Not to mention … this was an emergency situation where the command center had forcibly modified the Rainbow Bridge's delivery route and used this wave of Reality airdrops as an opportunity to send him directly there.
There was some movement, but it was really expected.
With the deterrence and support of the entire defense line, naturally, there would be no more problems.
A few minutes later, they had already landed on the tarmac behind the Great Pyramid.
Without waiting for the medical staff who had been waiting by the side to take away the Crystal Unit on the stretchers, a gray-haired old man rushed up, laughed loudly, and patted Huai Shi's shoulder vigorously without any reservations.
"You did well, Huai Shi, you did well!"
However, it seemed that he was too happy and accidentally used a little too much strength, slapping half of Huai Shi into the concrete.
Suddenly, the scene became a little awkward.
Huai Shi and the old man looked at each other.
After a long time, the old man coughed twice, reached out, and pulled Huai Shi out, and helped him pat the dust on his legs. "Oh, it's rare to be happy, so I got a little too excited."
"It's, it's okay —"
Huai Shi forced a smile, feeling that the shoulder blade that had just been squeezed seemed to be a little broken.
Fortunately, for Yun Zhongjun, this injury was not even comparable to a scratch, and it was healed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have been slapped into the ground by this old man.
He did not even need a burial mound.
It could only be said that the local gang was too enthusiastic.
He did not think that this old man was trying to intimidate him. After all, the other party was famous for being simple-minded and straightforward in the American genealogy. If he was not happy with him, he would have directly slapped him in the face.
The kind that would shatter his head and soul …
Now, in front of him was the leader of the Sixth Line of Defense in America, Sonora, and also a Tier 5 general who had been famous in the American genealogy for many years.
The contemporary Bear God — Richard Lawrence!
"I was so happy to know that you were coming. Come, come, let's go first. Have you eaten? Let's go and have a drink first … "
Lawrence waved his hand and walked in front, leading Huai Shi directly to the canteen.
His long hair that was combed to the back of his head was white, and his beard danced in the hot wind. His burly figure cast a huge shadow.
Following behind him, Huai Shi had a strange illusion that he was running after a mountain.
Richard seemed to be in a good mood.
He walked in front with his hands behind his back, his two hairy legs swinging in his flowery pants, and he was even humming a little tune.
To be honest, Huai Shi originally thought that the old man would hold him accountable. After all, if he had not handled the cannon shot well, the large group of people in the Infernal Realm might have started another tide of war in the restless restlessness. However, the old man did not seem to care at all. Instead, he held the menu and kept recommending the special agave in the local military restaurant.
It had to be said that the flavor was one thing, but the alcohol content … was really strong.
Drinking it was like chewing on a knife.
"Relax, Huai Shi, relax."
After finishing a steak, Richard wiped his mouth and waved enthusiastically. "Just treat it as your own home, your own home."
Huai Shi's face twitched. He turned around and looked at the countless uniformed soldiers running outside, and the bustling sports field. It was really hard to feel the warmth of home.
Moreover, he did not come here to go home!
"Anyway, don't think about that nonsense. There's no need to be nervous. Work is work. Izzy's friend is my friend. That old man has a high opinion of you. When it's time to use you, he will definitely not let you sit on the bench. "
The Bear God picked up his glass and drank it in one gulp. "As for the rest, I don't care."
"It's really reassuring to hear that."
Huai Shi sighed, picked up his glass, and took a sip of the Bear God's custom-made special agave. The taste was really a little too strong …
At the same time, he also felt a lot of wary gazes.
There were also people who did not hide their resistance.
After all, as an outsider, Huai Shi was really too conspicuous.
Even he himself felt that he was a little annoying.
