Almost as Vivien's words fell, a cool breeze through the forest suddenly blew through the pine forest, blowing on everyone's face.In the cool wind, everyone heard a faint shout of killing, and some heavy, dark, almost disgusting depression came along with it.Several people in the car glanced at each other, and then Hao Ren patted the carriage: "Go over and see the situation." ”There was a slight hum of the magic car, and the modified engine smoothly increased its output, and the three cars sped off on the wide forest road, and the cool wind never stopped in the process, and the shouting from the wind became more and more real.This direction is exactly the same as the direction that Leah has guided with her instincts - Hao Ren trusts Leah's instincts as a god, so he is now convinced that he is finally close to the "core" of this forest.The car passed through two forks in the road, and then through a dense pine forest, and finally, the road in the forest reached the end, and the three cars rushed out of the dense forest, and the environment suddenly opened up.In the black pine forest, there is an extremely vast open area, and in this open land, an apocalyptic decisive battle is being staged.The dense forest came to an abrupt end, and the vast expanse of land in front of it resembled a forest, with vast, flat land and continuous buildings.Hao Ren didn't know what it looked like when it was intact, and all he could see now was the flames of war and corpses strewn all over the field.Huge pillars of smoke rose everywhere, towering buildings fell in the distance in smoke and fire, and warriors in silver-white armor fought their way to the invaders, armed with energy shields and photon blades, or armed with ranged guns and staffs, and their enemies were the same corrupted monsters they had seen in the woods before, as well as other terrifying creatures.The number of monsters is like a tide, and the individual quality is not weaker than that of the soldiers in silver armor.Hao Ren saw that those warriors in silver-white armor were retreating under the attack of monsters, and they were grouped in groups of dozens to support a large military formation shield, but even if it was a combined shield, they were still unable to sustain themselves in the monster group that had formed the Black Tide, and those shining shields were like fireflies drowning in mud, extinguishing one after another on the battlefield.In the middle of the battlefield was a particularly tall complex of buildings - what appeared to be a city, and where the warriors were desperately defending.Bright shields shone above the city, and the city was lined with countless glowing spires, some of which maintained the power nodes of the city shield, while others pointed straight up at the sky, and blinding pillars of light burst out from their tips and shot into the vast sky.After rushing out of the dense forest, this is the first scene that everyone sees."
Police......
Alert!!
”One of the captains of the guard finally came to his senses, and he brushed the floor and drew his sword from his waist, shouting in an almost transcurrent voice.However, Charlemagne immediately stopped the impulsive soldiers: "Calm down!!
These are phantoms!
”His Royal Highness was also nervous, and there was even a slight cold sweat on his forehead, but he still noticed the true face of these scenes in front of him in time - because a silver-white explosion exploded more than ten meters away from the convoy, but he did not feel the slightest shock or heat.Under Charlemagne's loud shouts, the soldiers realized that the tragic battlefield in front of them was only a part of the "illusion" of the black pine forest, and they finally calmed down a little, but everyone still held the sharp blade in their hands, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.After all, such large-scale illusions are just around the corner, and even if they are all fake, there are many times the illusions that contain endless dangers."
This 'phantom' is different from what I've seen before," Hao Ren was also taken aback by the sight in front of him, but his calmness was stronger than everyone else in the scene, he said as he tilted his head slightly to look at Leah, "It's very large, and it looks like it's been going on for quite a long time - it's still going on." ”"There is no smell......," Leah suddenly said something seemingly irrelevant, "whether it is the shadow of reality or the phantom, it is tasteless." ”Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned to Vivian: "Wait, Vivian, you said you smelled blood?!"
”"Yes, and I can feel it faintly now," Vivien pointed to her nose, "I don't have the same sense of smell as the big dogs, but I don't rely entirely on my nose for the perception of gore, and I'm sure I'm not wrong." ”"It's not just phantoms here," Hao Ren made a judgment in an instant, "Everyone be vigilant—Vivien, you show the way." ”Vivien nodded, and raised her hand in the direction of the city in the distance: "The breath is coming from that complex. ”Everyone stepped into this "battlefield".Walking through such a realistic illusion is definitely an unprecedented experience for Charlemagne and others, countless monsters and strange soldiers are fighting, bleeding, and dying right under their noses, shouting and killing loudly, the smoke and explosions are so real, except for the smell of gunsmoke, everything here is hard to believe is caused by hallucinations, but these are indeed illusions - they are walking through this tragic battlefield, as if they are in a no-man's land, all the images, whether they are monsters or soldiers, and they all wore with them.Hao Ren turned on the recording mode on the data terminal, and his eyes widened, not letting go of every detail on this battlefield.The army outside the city was on the verge of rout, and those silver-armored warriors were almost one-sided at the moment, and the mutant monsters tore at the warriors' defenses and flesh and blood, shattering and burning everything in their path, but the warriors' will to fight was unbelievably strong, even if they had fallen into the situation of being unilaterally slaughtered, they showed no signs of retreating.They're defending the city, literally, as if the whole world would perish when the city fell.Aside from the army outside the city, which was about to be wiped out, the only thing left was the defensive batteries on the outer wall of the magnificent city.Hao Ren saw that the city had a circle of silver glittering alloy walls, and on the top and outer walls of the walls were placed countless cannons with long guide rails, and the dazzling electric current jumped between those guide rails, accompanied by a continuous roar, and the projectiles and plasma balls that were accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound bombarded the monsters outside the city in waves, but such fierce fire could only slightly stop the monsters' footsteps.A shrill whistling sound that almost tore the eardrum pierced the air, the sound came from high in the sky, Hao Ren looked up at the sky, and saw a pitch-black, spindle-like mass falling from the sky, and in the direction it hit, there seemed to be countless huge shadows hidden in the turbid sky.The anti-aircraft fire in the city may have been holding off those attacks from the sky for a long time, but now the anti-aircraft fire is finally overstretched.The spindle-shaped black mass slammed into the City Shield, instantly exploding into a large cloud of mud that flowed down the City Shield, bursting with blinding lightning where it came into contact with the shield.The mournful sound of air raid sirens echoed through the city.Hao Ren tapped the shell of the data terminal and said only two words: "Analyze." ”"Suspected orbital bombardment, judging from the silhouette of the attacker and the intensity of the impact, the probability of coming from low-earth orbit is extremely high.""
Why don't the defenders have air power?""
I'm afraid it's been wiped out - with the level of technology they show, it is impossible to have no air force, and the only possibility that the air force has not appeared is that it has been completely wiped out.""
Skill level?""
At least at the planetary system level - given their unusually advanced shield technology, the rating can be moderately raised."
Hao Ren nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask questions, but looked at Leah, who was staring around with wide eyes at the front of the carriage: "I am afraid that Rahrion that you saw more than nine thousand years ago does not have this level of technology. ”"Of course not — and I've never seen this war.The Rahrion I have seen is closed and peaceful, and although there is an occasional neuratic who tries to destroy the world, they are usually crushed to death by the brave men who come out of the village before they can destroy even a village—a great war of this magnitude has never been seen before. ”"All you see is a hundred years, and this war obviously happened before that," Hao Ren looked at Leah, "and more than a little bit forward, I am afraid it has crossed the time of an era of civilization......
There are attackers from the universe, and there are skilled weapons in space combat, which cannot be presented by a closed planet that is locked in a chaotic sea in the dark realm, and does not even know what is outside the atmosphere. ”The convoy arrived under the city's silver-white walls.There were no entrances or exits in sight on the walls, like a smooth, curved mirror that would be closed at the moment, given the decisive battle outside, even if the city had gates.This battlefield is full of illusions of the past, and the walls are no exception, and the seemingly seamless walls are theoretically impossible to stop outsiders, but before the convoy enters the city, Leah stops Hao Ren."
It's not all phantoms, it's a mix of entities - if you're not careful, you'll crash."
After speaking, the little goddess looked at the city wall in front of her and sighed softly: "If you pass, let's pass." ”A large wall of walls vanished with the sigh of God.Hao Ren saw a crumbling blackened ruin, and the massive metal and polymer remains could vaguely be seen as part of the city walls, but now they had fallen to the ground in pieces, buried in the dirt.There are vines growing along these wreckage, which seem to have spread for many years, even many epochs.Hao Ren looked back at the battlefield, the soldiers had been wiped out, and the monsters were rushing in the direction of the city wall, it was obvious that the soldiers who rushed out were simply sent to death, and the people who organized this defense battle did not think about what they could hold, nor did they think about saving the soldiers, and the army that was completely wiped out outside the city was just to delay time.Now, that battlefield is gradually being swallowed up by the black pine forest that has spread again, and in the black pine forest, there is no trace of the battlefield in sight.I'm afraid the entire black pine forest was built on a wreckage of ruins—Hao Ren couldn't help but think.However, there are some ruins and ruins of the city in front of you, just like those "forest roads" outside, leaving traces of materialization in this world where reality and truth are intertwined."
Which part of this is true and which part is false?"
Lily finally couldn't help but ask, "In the black pine forest......
Is there really anything 'real'?
”Leah replied indifferently: "It's just between fiction and reality." ”
