"Wow! You've really brought it back! "
When Catherine returned home, she no longer had the strict temperament of the ruler of Utopia. Perhaps it was because Saber's return had given her enough support, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Hooray!"
In the middle of a dense and large forest that had just been catalyzed by Groot on the grassland of Utopia City, Catherine and those chattering little girls were circling the panther god, Bastet, who couldn't stand it anymore. They even made a garland for this beautiful big cat and put it on its head, making the majestic panther god look like a circus beast.
However, Bastet clearly liked this new environment. Under the warm sunlight of Utopia, it only wanted to sleep comfortably and recuperate from its injuries. It decisively chose to ignore these noisy but powerful human girls who had a strong background.
On a tree branch not far away, Saber hugged Plum and sat there quietly, enjoying the quiet time together. Plum gently leaned on Saber's chest, her long black hair spread out, and her entire person exuded an unimaginable sense of peace. Only when the two of them were alone would this iceberg slowly melt.
Of course, with the current situation of Earth's civilization, even if it was warmth, it still had to be mixed with some national affairs.
"So, you're giving me full authority to negotiate on behalf of Utopia?"
Plum lazily did not want to raise her head. She said softly, "We do need the vibranium of that place, but actually, the shortage is not too big. The formula of adamantium has already been shared. Compared to Wakanda's unique vibranium, I feel that using this metal that we can make is more reassuring."
"It's not the same."
Saber bent down and kissed the cheek of his wife-to-be who had been with him for the longest time. He said gently, "Adamantium can only be used to make weapons. It can't be molded again after it's melted, so it's not suitable to make high-grade armor. Vibranium borrowed the mysterious technology of Wakanda and can even be used to weave clothes. It also has the ability to absorb energy and various types of attacks, so it's very suitable to be made into large-scale armor, such as the composite armor of starships."
"In short, this thing is very useful, and with the current Wakanda, as long as the method is suitable, we can actually get what we need at a very low price."
Plum frowned. She thought for a moment and changed her position. She leaned on Seiber's shoulder and asked, "What do you think?
"What about Wakanda's vibranium reserves?"
"A lot!"
Saber narrowed his eyes and looked at the edge of the forest in the distance. "The Wakandans have been mining for thousands of years, but they haven't been able to extract all of it. Even if we don't count the ones they have in storage, there's still a lot of vibranium left in the mines. I have a hunch that the thing that fell on Wakanda was not just a meteorite full of vibranium."
Saber heaved a sigh of relief.
"It should be a super-large mining ship from an alien civilization! Otherwise, there's no other way to explain the Wakandans' technology that's decades ahead of the rest of the world. They definitely didn't just get vibranium from the mysterious meteorite, but also more precious technology, so if it's possible … "
His fingers touched a soft spot, and he whispered in Plum's ear.
"You can think of a way to let them share their technology … Hmm, it's a little bigger …"
"Don't move!"
Plum looked back carefully. The girls were still playing with Panther God Bast and taking pictures as souvenirs, so no one was paying attention to them. She blushed and quickly changed the topic.
"You're going to Egypt?"
"Yes, we'll open a gap in Egypt!"
Saber narrowed his eyes. "We'll use the Heavenly Sword Bureau to attack from the east and push those forces back to Europe. Put pressure on them, and when they're connected, we'll finish them off in one fell swoop in Asgard!"
"But you're only one person … and you don't plan to use Utopia's army."
Plum was a little worried. Saber reached out and held her shoulders. He took a deep breath and said,
"Utopia's army has to defend South America, so they can't be mobilized easily. As for the battlefield in Egypt, don't worry …
"I'm an army alone!"
— — —
Egypt, the largest country in the Nile River Basin, was also one of the ancient countries of Earth's civilization. The most glorious civilization was born here, but that was the past.
The Mutated Humans once had a very magnificent past here, but unfortunately, it was completely destroyed in the battle to expel the Beehive. After the end of these two eras, a third civilization was born in this vast desert oasis, the human civilization.
It was also the most prosperous civilization that had spread to this day.
However, this land was one of the most painful and terrible places in the recent great changes. After the gods who ruled this place in ancient times returned, they brought their faith back to the kingdom of ancient Egypt. However, the problem was that in ancient Egypt's faith, the worship of death was a very obvious characteristic, so …
Under the pyramids that once served as a monument to civilization, the monarchs who once preached the divine right of kings returned from the dead with their loyal guards. When the dusty pyramids were opened, an army of the dead began to rampage across the land of Egypt.
The mummified pharaohs were furious that the eternal life they wanted had appeared in the form of a curse. They could no longer taste delicious food, drink good wine, or even taste sweet spring water. So in their hearts that had lost everything, only the most instinctive hatred, jealousy of the living, and the desire to rule and conquer were left in their hearts.
Ordinary people were slaughtered by the Pharaoh's Undead Army and turned into new corpses to serve their ancient kings. As for those who were still alive, they desperately escaped from this land of death.
High above, Ra, who was flying in the sky on the sun ship, saw the massacre, saw the blood and death, so he sent his faith in the most desperate doomsday. In just an instant, he received an unimaginable number of believers.
You see, the gods always played this game. Without the cruelty of hell, how could the greatness of heaven be shown? Without experiencing the cruel doomsday, the people would not lower their arrogant heads. Those believers did not know that the glory they were protected by and the disaster that brought death to them was actually the work of their great god …
Wait, maybe they knew, but … who would dare to publicize this terrible and blasphemous rumor?
One must know that the war of faith in Europe was a hundred times crueler than the resurrection of the pharaohs in Egypt!
The evil god! The evil god! The real evil god!
Now, the remaining flames of civilization in Egypt were gathered along the Nile River and were ruled by the priests of Ra in the ancient way. In fact, it was not difficult to realize that those so-called "most sincere" priests were actually just the former rulers in a new set of clothes. After tasting the taste of power, who would be willing to give it all up?
In the end, it was just faith. It could not be seen or touched, so how could it be more important than the enjoyment and status in the real world?
In the vast desert outside of the human settlement, the Pharaoh's army used their pyramids as their base and territory to wage war against each other. These sovereigns from different eras were unwilling to put down their arrogance and bow to their seniors or juniors. In short, this was a war of death, a war that would never end.
Of course, the huge undead army was also responsible for guarding the border. One must know that the gods were not always at peace with each other, especially when there was another aggressive and influential religion around them. No one would be completely at ease.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Behind the vast expanse of yellow sand, a figure holding a cane was moving forward quickly in the sandstorm. Judging from his footprints that were quickly covered by the quicksand, this crazy guy seemed to have already traversed half of the desert, and it seemed like he was planning to traverse the rest of the desert.
But soon, the sound of the skeleton chariots, the sound of the skeleton horses trampling on the sand, and the hoarse laughter and shouts of the death priests came from the wind. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have turned around and fled when they heard these horrifying sounds. In the land of Egypt, when such sounds were heard, it was equivalent to the God of Death knocking on the door. Very few people could escape from such a pursuit.
In the face of such a terrible situation, the man in the black hood stopped in his tracks. He reached out his hand to block the scorching sun and looked at the undead army that was rushing toward him.
At the forefront were dozens of skeletons that had no flesh on their bodies, only brown bones and some rotten armor. They rode on rotten warhorses, waving Egyptian-style curved machetes, swords, shields, and lances. Their skulls cracked as if they were still following their old habits of shouting before battle.
Unfortunately, his body had completely decayed, and he was no longer able to let out a loud battle cry.
Their speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the sand dune and rushed towards the traveler. Behind the skeleton cavalry, there were ten scattered war chariots. They were pulled by decaying war horses. On each war chariot sat several tall skeleton warriors. From their strong skeletons, it could be seen that these people were brave warriors when they were alive.
There were even some skeleton archers standing on chariots and shooting arrows. At the very back were some Anubit priests who were completely covered in black robes. The flesh beneath their robes had already festered, and the disgusting stench could be smelled from far away.
They used the white bone staffs in their hands to command the huge undead army. After seeing the traveler, they screamed in surprise as if they had found a suitable prey. After losing all the enjoyment of being mortals, they could only watch the damned living people spurting blood from their swords. The sense of impending death could comfort their twisted minds with a trace of evil.
Life and death. These were two existences. From the moment they appeared, they were absolute opposites. There was no possibility of reconciliation.
The moment the skeleton cavalrymen approached the weak traveler, the traveler raised his eyes under his hood, revealing his ghostly blue eyes that resembled the ring of ashes.
As far as the traveler's eyes could see, the skeleton warrior who charged the fastest began to burn. Its body maintained its charging posture, but in less than a second, it turned into ashes that scattered on the sand dune. Then, it was the second, and the third. The speed at which the flames were ignited was astonishing. The gaze of the traveler was like a scythe that silently buried the skeleton cavalrymen in this army.
"Retreat! Retreat! "
"The eyes of the Death God!"
"Run! That's the judgment of the Underworld! Death is furious! "
The experienced and knowledgeable Anubit priests did not dare to look at those eyes. They waved the bone staffs in their hands wildly. The remaining skeleton army began to run for their lives. They wanted to send this news back to the pyramids of the pharaohs. A monster that could snatch their "eternal life" from the hands of souls and existences had appeared in the desert at the border.
That might be … the Divine Punishment was coming!
The lone traveler did not chase after them. On the contrary, he stood where he was and looked at the fleeing undead with interest. In front of their escape path, darkness had occupied the desert under the sun. It spread like a living creature, like a shadow monster entrenched in the sand dunes. The moment the undead rushed up the sand dunes, they did not even have the chance to scream before they were swallowed by the disturbed shadow.
Thus, the desert that had been at daggers drawn just a moment ago returned to dead silence once again.
"You're really not picky with your food …"
Saber walked to Arvette, who was holding a battle spear, and said softly, "Are these undead also for your use? Is this darkness? Or undead? Or is it some kind of display of death? Or, have you discovered some power that I'm not too sure about? "
"They were the most valiant warriors when they were alive. Although they have lost their most basic consciousness over a long period of time, there is still a trace of eternal courage in their souls. These will be the best soul bodies of the Shadow Knights."
The Valkyrie, who was wrapped in dark armor, turned her head and looked at the faintly discernible pyramids in the desert. She said in a muffled voice.
"I'm starting to like this place …"
"Oh?"
Saber looked at his subordinate who was still hostile to him in surprise. He waved the staff in his hand.
"Very well, then we'll take this place and let you rule it … until the perfect world I imagined arrives …"
He coughed softly.
"Now, let's continue forward. I hope Tengu, Sim, and Drax have done what they should do …"
