When Gawain saw the video data transmitted by Iron Throne Zero, he could not help but gasp softly.
Those lunatics had actually created a fake 'Amoun the Giant Deer' …
The fake was obviously out of control. The cracked flesh and deformed body were proof of that. But other than that, whether it was the holy light around it or the antlers, they were no different from the real 'Amoun the Giant Deer'. This was no doubt an amazing creation. Even if they were enemies, even if they were on the wrong path, the biochemical technology in the hands of the All Things Will Die Society still amazed Gwen.
They had probably collected the genetic elements of the God of Nature in the human body and created this monster through some reverse engineering method. This level of technological power …
Can't they just use it for something?
Gwen could only sigh at this. But the higher-ups of the All Things Will Die Society had probably been wiped out when this terrifying man-made god went out of control. He had nowhere to vent his feelings and questions. The only thing he could do was to figure out a way to deal with this huge mess.
He looked at the magic net terminal in front of him. The holographic projection in the air was showing Maryland's bust. Behind this commander was the busy scene of the Iron Throne's tactical section command center. Several holographic projections flashed in the background, and many clerks were rushing through the carriages with documents in their hands. Clearly, the appearance of the "giant deer" had made everyone nervous.
"What's the situation now? This … this monster is still in the same place? "
"Yes." Perhaps due to the interference of the strong energy field that pervaded the entire Holy Spirit Plain, Maryland's voice was slightly distorted. "In the first contact, it showed a strong aggressiveness and destroyed two of our tanks, killing the soldiers on the tanks. But soon it stopped its activity and began to wander around the plain …" She said.
"I've already sent out several teams to monitor this monster from afar. So far, we can confirm one thing. When our soldiers get close to this monster, it will come alive and start attacking. But after a period of time or when it can't find its target, it will stop …."
"Its range of activity is gradually expanding. The monitoring team found that it is getting more and more restless.
"We suspect that it hasn't fully awakened yet. Perhaps it will need a few more days, or perhaps in one or two days, it will completely 'wake up' …"
Gwen listened carefully to Maryland's report, and on another holographic projection next to him, some video clips of the "Man-made God" were displayed.
The strange monster ran wildly on the plain, sweeping across the battlefield with some kind of plasma jet attack. The scorching heat swept out ravines on the ground. It let out a frenzied sound, and a chaotic noise that could not be described by human language filled the battlefield with its movements. A large number of Crystal Giants became crazier in this noise. It wandered on the ground, and wherever it went, birds, beasts, and even Crystal Giants fell down in droves. Countless flowers bloomed on the corpses, and innumerable vines bloomed on the corpses …
In some distant images, it was wandering around the plains in confusion. It seemed to have no purpose, but occasionally it would suddenly run wildly and attack all targets indiscriminately.
All these characteristics perfectly fit the criteria of "Frenzy".
This was the "Power of God" created by the Apocalypse.
According to Maryland's report, this monster was very powerful. It was almost completely unafraid of the shells of the main battle tanks. In theory, even fixed ground cannons and the most powerful laser beam would not be able to kill it. At the same time, it had terrifying offensive capabilities. The energy beams it summoned could easily cut through the body of a main battle tank and penetrate the shield created by the Steel Ambassador with one hit. It could also summon strange and difficult to defend against supernatural powers. Without the protection of a shield, all life forms would be turned into vines and blooming flowers when they approached it. This meant that as long as regular ground troops stood within a certain range of this monster, they would die in an organized fashion …
This was the most powerful enemy the Cecil Army had ever faced since its establishment.
However, Gwen judged that this giant deer was still an unsuccessful imitation. He even suspected that the Apocalypse cultists had only created a monster with some divine power.
This was because the body of this "giant deer" was not as indestructible as he had imagined. While the damage done by Warhammer-I's main cannon was minimal, it could still cause damage and hindrance. If it could cause damage with the current strength of mortals, it was enough to show that this giant deer on the Holy Spirit Plains was just a clumsy monster.
With the power of the entire southern border, with a considerable sacrifice, relying on a large amount of long-range firepower that exceeded its self-healing limit and a preset trap, it might still be possible to kill this "man-made god" alone. This was Gwen's estimation based on the information he had received.
But it was only an estimation because he did not intend to make such a huge sacrifice to deal with this "imitation". In the situation where the Empire was not yet stable, and with an empty interior and enemies everywhere, he had to preserve his strength. And this threat … he would leave it to the hungry deep-sea visitors.
It was time to put an end to this farce.
That monster should have just left its "hotbed" and was currently wandering on the plains in a half-awake state. It would soon be fully awake and start destroying according to its instincts. Before that, he had to prepare the trap.
…
Southern border, Cecil City, Whitewater River. A fast mechanical ship that was heading to the Firmrock Fortress was docked at the dock. Several magic cars with the emblem of swords and plows were parked by the wide road leading to the pier. The people who were about to board the ship were saying goodbye to their friends and family by the roadside. The siren Tyre was lazily lying on the edge of the pier, looking at the scene with some boredom.
The reason why it was "lying" and not "sitting" was because she was using a fishtail.
Human beings were really strange creatures. Or it could be said that all species with short lifespans and fragile lives looked strange in the eyes of the siren. These people valued a short separation so much that even if they were only separated by a few hundred kilometers and only separated for a short time, they would still say goodbye here for half a day. There were even some seemingly "ritualistic" things, such as exchanging tokens and blessings. These things seemed quite interesting at first, but after seeing too much of it, it became boring.
At least for Miss Tyre, who only wanted to be lazy, these things were far less comfortable than sunbathing and napping on the pier.
Tyr yawned and stretched his body from his head to the tip of his tail. Then, with a tug of his tail, he flipped over on the concrete floor of the pier and continued to nap under the sun.
However, a figure suddenly approached and blocked the warm and comfortable sunlight. It also woke up Tyre who was about to fall asleep.
The siren raised her head and looked at the figure approaching her. The figure was wearing a plain white dress, with long grayish-white hair tied behind her head. She was holding a wide-brimmed sunhat that had recently become popular in the Southern Region. There was an eye-catching scar on her cheek. It was a familiar person.
The head of the Rune Research Institute, Cecil's chief rune expert, Jenny? Miss Perot.
Tyre rubbed his eyes. "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your friends?"
"There's no need to say goodbye. I'll be back soon anyway," Jenny said with a gentle smile. "I'm just here to say hello …"
"I can't get used to your habit of honoring everyone." Tyre yawned. "What's there to say hello to me … I'm sunbathing."
"Thank you for being willing to let us study the mysterious runes on your body. According to the news from the frontline, those runes did work, and the lives of many soldiers were saved," Jenny said sincerely with her head down. "It's a shame that we can only use them roughly, and we still haven't cracked the secrets of those runes …"
"Then you'll have to crack them slowly, because even we don't know how those runes work." Tyre patted the ground with his tail. "Maybe one day, I'll take you to see the big squid and refer to the patterns on the surface of that thing, and you'll understand … Your way of thinking and perception is different from us sirens. Maybe you can see something that we can't see?"
Jenny immediately smiled. "I look forward to that day."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Tyr propped up his upper body and used his fishtail to support himself. He looked up at the mechanical ship not far away and said, "… It's going to that Saint Sunil City, right? Gwen is there? "
"… Yes." Jenny seemed to pause for a moment before saying, "They need a large number of people to restore order there. Also, the duke needs a group of scholars to organize the Royal Family's archives and the information in the Mage Association to prepare to receive the technological legacy of Ansu … I've been ordered to bring a team of rune specialists to help."
"I heard that you came from that city." Tyre looked curiously at this friend that he made during the technical exchange, the end of his tail tapping on the concrete floor. "Do you know anyone there?"
Someone …
Jenny was silent for a moment, then turned her head, looking at the sparkling White Water River under the breeze, looking at the mechanical ship that was retracting its magic wings, and looking in the direction of the Captical.
The chief runemaster smiled slightly and said, "I do know someone."
Then, she said goodbye to Tyre, turned around, and walked to the mechanical ship not far away.
Tyre blinked, as if she felt a subtle emotional fluctuation in this runemaster at that moment. However, she did not know much about humans, so she could not tell what this emotional fluctuation was. She could only shake her head, stretch, and prepare to turn over before the sun went down.
However, she was destined not to be able to sleep in today.
A series of hurried footsteps came from not far away, and it was obviously coming this way. Tyre looked up and saw a young lady in a black uniform running toward them.
It was the sheriff of the dock area, Joan. It was said that she had a younger brother who worked in a factory. Tyre often came to the river to get some sun, so he knew this sheriff.
"Miss Tyre!" The young sheriff quickly walked to the 'ship consultant' and bowed. "The government office sent a message, asking you to go there immediately for a meeting."
"Huh? Looking for me? "Tyre scratched his head." What's the matter? "
"I'm not very sure … but Madam Heti asked me to tell you something, saying that you will understand," the sheriff said with a serious face. "'The food is on the table, and it's time to eat.'"
"Eat? Do we still need to go to the government office for this … "Tyre did not react at first (after all, he had been under the sun for almost a day), but the next second, he jumped up." Eat? Okay, I understand. I'll go right away! "
Before he finished, this siren lady had already turned into a cloud of mist, and the next second, she switched to her sea snake form, which was convenient for movement, and quickly left.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed that a big worm could move so quickly …
…
Saint Sunil, inside the Silver Fortress, Gwen had already established a connection with the Southern Border.
"Our Elemental Jump Tower is ready. Now, we only need a guidance beacon," Siren Tyre said with a serious face on the holographic projection projected by the magic network terminal. "I need a relatively stable environment, preferably with a body of water like a river nearby. I will release a signal there to guide. Then, you have to think of a way to lure that 'deer' into the trap."
"… This is a very risky thing."
Gwen frowned, and his eyes slowly scanned the map hanging on the wall not far away.
The sirens could cross the Endless Sea using a method called "Elemental Leap", but this process was accompanied by a very obvious phenomenon of energy concentration. Even if the giant deer was not in its right mind, it would not foolishly wait for the process to complete. Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of the "hunt", the trap had to be prepared in another place in advance, and then used a certain method to lure the giant deer into the trap.
While thinking, Gwen gradually came up with a plan.
