Chapter 205 Holy Terra Expedition!
A shrill alarm woke Litch up.

He stood up almost instantly, holding the "Decapitation" half-hand sword beside the bed in his right hand. This was a standard weapon forged by dwarf craftsmen, a hybrid sword that could be used as a one-handed sword or a two-handed sword. It was engraved with the rune of "Purgatory Fire", which could inflict fire damage at the moment of activation. Of course, Litch's ideal was to one day be able to hold the "Plasma Sword" of the Star Wars. Although he didn't know how the weapon worked, Litch had seen Owl use it to decapitate a powerful legendary evil creature, and the dark blue flame was so eye-catching.

Litch put on the Purgatory Roar III equipment, strength wristbands, physique amulet, agility gloves, etc. It took him less than five seconds to put on a series of equipment.

"Emergency gathering!"

The dull roar of the instructor was heard outside the camp gate. He was a bearded dwarf, and it was said that he was also a famous adventurer in the Abyss City. He was converted by the mechanical priest of the Holy Terra Church near a brothel called the House of Nightmare, and since then he became a member of the Martyrs Corps and an instructor of their Astra Militarum, mainly teaching mid- and high-level combat expertise to the warriors.

The instructor is a dwarf heavy-armored defender with nearly legendary strength. Litch has seen him withstand the heavy blows of the giant monster head-on, and he seemed to be as motionless as a mountain.

As he walked out the door, Litch saw a shadow flash by.

"Dark walker." Li Qi's pupils shrank slightly.

Most of the dark walkers belonging to the special department are extraordinary people from the wanderer path and the assassin path, and there are also some outliers from the devil path. Living next door to them is a devil named Brand, who used to be a noble servant in the remote area of ​​Dagon. This guy is ambitious and has been promoted very quickly. It is said that he has seen that gentleman, and it was the gentleman who personally presided over the ceremony to promote the devil. No one has seen Brand's true form. It is rumored that he is a form similar to the "bone demon". He usually looks like a young, handsome and slightly gloomy man.

"Level 1 combat readiness status?" Litch's expression suddenly became serious.

The Mechanical Heart demiplane had never entered a first-level combat readiness state. Even during the battle against the old swamp lord, Mondor, it had only entered a second-level combat readiness state, with a portion of the battle group being transferred to the edge of the battlefield.

"Captain!" A burly man led the team to assemble.

Private Ryan.

These were the new recruits he had personally promoted and trained. Talented ones were selected from the indigenous people of the Dagon region for advancement. There were only one hundred people in each session. The losers were eliminated and joined the garrison, while those who completed the trial joined the Astra Militarum. They were basically professionals at the extraordinary level of 6-12. The best among them would be assigned to numerous battle groups, and if they had a devout faith, they might even be able to join the cult of Holy Terra.

Ryan wants to join the Farstriders, a group that is mainly responsible for exploring unknown areas and developing the dark areas around the weird country.

Normally, after the Farstriders have explored the situation, the Pioneers will go in to clear out the mutated creatures.

If there are powerful evil creatures lurking nearby, they will seek help from the Martyrs. In certain circumstances, they will also send some high-level transcendents with near-legendary strength to take action.

"The Farstriders, Pioneers, Martyrs and other warbands have all assembled!"

Lich saw Xiao, who was wearing full body magic-powered armor. He was a veteran warrior in the Abyss City. He was a ruthless man before joining the Mechanical Heart. He once traveled alone through the ancient battlefield of the Dark Age.

Behind the owl is another burly man who rarely appears because his facial features resemble those of an orc.

——Champion Gladiator-Andre.

One of the champion gladiators of Abyss City, he belongs to an unknown sect of the Church of Holy Terra, a sect that outsiders have no way of knowing about, but whose strength is not weaker than that of the Martyrs.

Because of the power gift of orc blood, the weapons and armor equipped by Andre are heavier. It is said that the war hammer in his hand, which does not look very big, weighs more than three tons. It uses a material called "annihilation matter" and has anti-gravity runes engraved on the surface. When it is swung, it is controlled by the runes and can easily break through the heavy city walls like a battering ram.

He was equipped with the Beast II magical power armor, which had a small elemental furnace built in. This type of power armor was very rugged, with spikes on the shoulder armor and arm guards that could penetrate the armored skin of evil creatures upon impact. The armor used a large amount of adamantium exoskeleton, which was extremely heavy while providing indestructible protection.

Without the anti-gravity runes, this type of armor would weigh nearly fifteen tons, and almost no one would be able to wear it.

The number of people equipped with legendary armor in the entire Mechanical Heart demiplane is less than a handful, but now almost all of them have been assembled. Litch even saw a mobile force with unique equipment. Most of them were wearing light armor and exuding faint psychic fluctuations. Their strength was not as good as others, but their equipment was more luxurious.

——The Beheader Sharp Knife Squad.

These people are psychic warriors who were promoted after the sixth stage. There are less than thirty of them in total. They are all geniuses selected from tens of millions of people in the Dagon region. Some of them have also undergone transformation surgery by Monster Doctor, and the resources they usually receive are far more than others.

They possess unparalleled mobility on the battlefield, and some members can open the "anywhere door" to travel across the battlefield.

Litch also saw some other unfamiliar troops. Some of them were obviously extraordinary people who were promoted after the twelfth period. It seemed that they were not promoted through conventional channels because some of them could transfer their injuries to unimportant parts of their bodies.

"It should be the damage transfer ability of Flesh Touch."

The Hunter Regiment that Litch belongs to once hunted down the Flesh Touch. Just last month, they were on a mission to clear out a nest of Flesh Deformations. Many extraordinary relics were sent to the academy, probably to be used to promote this group of people.

These people's physical fitness is not as good as that of warriors. They are mainly equipped with light armor and their fighting style is similar to that of wandering swordsmen and trickster assassins, but ordinary injuries will not kill them at all.

As long as they complete the promotion, they can transfer fatal damage at least twice a day, and in the later stages they can even transfer their own injuries to the enemy.

The nearby Astra Militarum troops have almost assembled.

But the rumbling footsteps did not stop, because the extremely heavy door of the Golem Factory opened.

The Golem Factory is also a very conspicuous landmark in the entire Mechanical Heart demiplane, but in most cases it is completely closed. You can only see people sending large amounts of materials in every day, and you have never seen the Golem Army actually appear in the outside world.

During the past six months or so, countless resources have been sent to the mining area, but the golem factory is a place where people can only go in but not out, and almost no one has ever entered except the invisible servants.

One after another, steel golems about four meters tall appeared in formation.

Li Qi couldn't see the end at a glance. When they were in the academy, there was a difficult trial called "Triathlon". The last trial was that the entire five-man team had to hold out for ten minutes under the attack of the iron golem.

As long as you pass the triathlon trial, you can be directly assigned to other regiments.

He was so close to success!

If these iron lumps were not so immune to damage, Litch's leaping slash would definitely have been able to chop off their heads. He used leaping slashes to chop off the heads of flesh and blood deformities more than once in the subsequent mopping-up missions. Those big guys were similar to deformed giants, standing nearly five meters tall. Litch's decapitation strike could chop off their heads, but it couldn't cut off the damn iron golem.

The standard strength assessment of this damn thing is challenge level 13-15, but the students' devil instructor actually let a group of people with an average extraordinary level of 5 to deal with it.

Although the instructor claimed at the time that it was a defective product from the Golem factory and was slow in movement, no one would believe what the drunkard said.

Leach's eyes searched the crowd.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure. There was no trace of a woman's figure in her appearance. The armor of the Mechanical Heart was unisex and required a chest binder to wear. But he knew that the other person was the woman he had a crush on.

Letitia.

The third-term graduate used to be in the logistics department, and joined the hunting group through his own efforts.

She is a native of the Ring City.

Married.

Have a child.

Her husband died in the dark ritual around the city. Many people in the regiment secretly liked this woman, but everyone was very restrained because Letitia still firmly believed that her husband was not dead.

This alone makes many people fall in love with her because she is different from other women.

Laetitia was a professional level 8-9 warrior, which was not particularly outstanding among the first few batches of promoted extraordinary people, and she was not a genius with combat instincts. Because of the resources allocated to the students who were promoted early, many of them had reached extraordinary level 10 or above, and some geniuses were even promoted to high levels. The most famous ones were once veterans of the real country. They were promoted to level 5 directly after digesting the extraordinary relics, and were proficient in all military weapons, and had awakened combat expertise and combat instincts.

Compared with these people, they have more than ten years less training time. Li Qi is considered to have been promoted relatively quickly. After all, he has killed a lot of monsters and has a brilliant record. Now he is a level 11 warrior and will have the opportunity to join the core regiment in the future.

All the combat forces, whether Litch knew about it or not, have been assembled.

However, when Li Qi saw some tall figures in black robes in front of the opened teleportation array, his pupils couldn't help but shrink and his figure couldn't help but tremble.

——The Cursed Legion.

One of the most mysterious and powerful chapters in the entire Mechanical Heart demiplane, it possesses combat power comparable to that of the Martyrs, and never reveals its true identity to the outside world. It always wears a black robe, and under the robe is a unique faceless mask.

They are a group of dead people, or strictly speaking, they are a group of people who have come back to life.

That's why Leach knew this.

It was because when he was performing a mission in the Boneyard Wasteland, the entire team was in a desperate situation. There was actually a hidden evil lord there. Fortunately, their psychic communicator was connected to the tower in the end, and then they waited for the rescue team from the Mechanical Heart.

There were three people in total, who directly killed hundreds of evil creatures' followers and cut the evil lord who looked like an insect aggregate into pieces.

One of them didn't speak, but Litch knew who he was.

In the battle to strangle the Pillar of Flesh and Blood, Litch's team suffered heavy casualties. Captain Hall fought desperately to replace an evil creature, but was eventually killed in the Great Rift Valley.

The captain's body was finally taken away. There have always been rumors of the resurrection of the dead in the Mechanical Heart. A friend of Leach was directly promoted to a priest of Terra because he discovered a person who had resurrected from the dead.

But these resurrected cursed legions are different, they all carry some kind of curse!

The dead are resurrected.

Li Qi knew very little about this. Perhaps those on the Path of Death knew more, but everyone was kept secret about it. Even in normal times, the Cursed Legion could not be seen. They were taciturn and had almost no communication with the outside world except when they were on a mission.

Not everyone can be resurrected from the dead.

Not everyone can pass the test of death. The living dead of the Cursed Legion are not the same as the resurrection in everyone's understanding. Strictly speaking, they are neither living nor dead.

Before the laws of the world were corrected, their existence was more like a group of cursed spirits.

Or, you can use a special way of describing it.

They are a group of cursed heroic spirits who have been twisted by the power of the resurrection of the dead. If it were a normal world, they should be heroic souls who died in battle, but now they are cursed spirits.

Litch's combat team crossed the teleportation circle.

He looked up and saw a blue planet, which made his heart beat fast, because he knew that it was Holy Terra!
It was the first time for him to stand in outer space and face the planet he lived on.

He saw a devastated and broken land.

"We will redeem Holy Terra one day!..." The Mechanical Priest's whisper sounded, and he was praying.

This is the lunar outpost.

A translucent energy field protected this place. Once they left here, they would lose the air they needed to survive. Before the warriors were promoted to Legendary, it was difficult for them to leave the planet where they lived. Only after reaching Legendary could their life forms adapt to a more severe living environment.

Leach saw a lich.

They are not people from the Path of Death, but the legendary Messengers of Scourge. They occasionally cooperate with the actions of the Mechanical Heart. These people are very powerful, and many of them are legendary.

Not far away, there was a group of people wearing special clothes, led by a beautiful woman with a graceful, plump and charming figure.

These people are different from the residents of the Mechanical Heart. They belong to other departments and mainly operate in the real country. Their dress also looks out of place. Some look like grooms, some like noble ladies, some like down-and-out poets who wander around and deceive noble ladies, and some always have a funny and weird smile on their faces.

Their paths to advancement are varied, and there are many extraordinary people from the monster path.

hum.

The ground trembled slightly.

Under Litch's astonished gaze, a bearded old man in a gray robe planted two strange seeds on the surface of the moon. Soon they began to take root, sprout and grow vigorously. In just ten minutes, they grew to a height of more than ten meters. The branches of the two big trees were entangled with each other, and the slightly curved trunks were connected with vines to form a hidden arch.

The glimmer of a teleportation spell emerged.

A petite figure walked out of the portal. She looked at the others curiously and came behind the druid elder.

The little girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and gave people the impression of a wild cat.

But Litch's warrior instinct told him that the opponent was very dangerous and brutal!
One figure after another emerged.

In the opened forest portal, in addition to the extraordinary people on the natural path, he even saw some Night Watchmen, Death Patrolmen, and the aces of the Dorne region, all high-level extraordinary people.

"Captain!" The little girl before cheered happily.

Litch tilted his head slightly and saw an extremely handsome young man. His thin face looked like a statue from ancient Greece, with a slender and upright figure. His expression was meticulous and serious. He was holding an inappropriate black umbrella in his hand and a pocket watch with a non-moving pointer in his right palm.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is a death pilgrim from the Barbarian Path. He looks like a giant with bandages on his knees.

“This is my first time on the moon!”

"really."

"The headquarters should train a few more legendary spellcasters." The burly man yelled and tore off the bandage on his knee, which still had old scars on it. His body was covered with scars, densely packed.

On the side of the portal, the druid elder who maintained the gate in the forest suddenly looked up and said in a serious tone: "The people from Zhendan have arrived!"

hum.

In an instant, countless people's attention was attracted by the void in the distance. They saw the broken space gate, and warships with exquisitely carved dragon heads crossed the space and entered the outer space. Above the deck of the warship, an elder wizard dressed in a yin-yang fish robe was watching them and nodded slightly to the druid elder in the distance.

Dozens of dragon-headed warships broke through the void and descended. In the center of the entire fleet was a suspended exquisite tower with a foundation like a floating island underneath, and thirty-six different white marble towers floating around it.

On every suspended town tower, one can see countless carvings, which seem to be inscriptions of some unknown hieroglyphics.

——Quail head.

At the gate in the forest, a great druid whispered:

"The Aurora people have spent a lot of money this time!..."

As the only alien civilization with a complete heritage in the weird country, Zhendan, which comes from the wild sky, has a close relationship with the legendary Earth and Sky. Their wonders such as Baiyujing, Hanging City, and Golden Guards were only activated in the Dark Age, and the wizards who are good at the five elements magic rarely show up in front of outsiders.

The people of the Natural Path didn't know how Xiao En convinced them. You have to know that the survivors of Zhendan were notoriously eccentric and stubborn. They were always very mysterious and rarely communicated with the outside world.

It's like a signal.

The faint light of transmission nodes appeared in the void. As others were amazed, one after another star warships broke through the transmission gate and descended into outer space. However, most of the people standing on them were not human. The troops of the seven witch king cities also arrived. On the leading living starship was a female warlock with a beautiful and somewhat enchanting appearance. Her magic power was so great that it distorted the surrounding space. She was wearing a robe that looked like the setting sun bathed in blood. She stared into the distance with deep eyes and whispered, "I never thought that our starport would be restarted one day."

This strange sorcerer makes people feel a little uneasy.

Her existence seemed to be draining the life force from the surroundings, causing ripples to appear in the void like the surface of a lake.

"The setting sun of catastrophe."

The great druid elder pulled the surprised little girl behind him and warned, "Daisy, stay away from them."

The legacy of these primordial sorcerers once drained the vitality of a world.

The establishment of the seven Witch King cities also had a lot to do with them. At the same time, the land of the weird kingdom was devastated, and these people also had to bear certain responsibilities.

This fleet seemed a bit strange, because there were even spaceships that were obviously converted from alien warships, and there was also a statue of the Balrog carved incongruously on the bow. What's worse, one of the interstellar battleships looked like a weird spider, which was obviously not a humanoid interstellar spaceship.

"No extradimensional sphere was seen."

On the deck of the Purgatory City forces, a Purgatory Bloodline transcendent whispered, "The people from the Tower of Knowledge are not here."

A certain Purgatory Banshee said calmly, "They didn't come."

"But the descendants of the Northland Witch have arrived."

Witches are a unique promotion system. Different from mages, their spellcasting abilities are closer to those of warlocks. They are very easy to identify, and they are all women.

Of course, you can get promoted after sex change.

In the void.

A three-headed, three-bodied female figure gradually emerged. Her vast pool of mana activated the majestic portal in the outpost. In the shining light, countless people saw an extremely strange planet. Countless tree roots were entwined around the twelve floating satellites, and in the center was the legendary "Garden Planet".

This is the first time in nearly a thousand years that Holy Terra has stepped onto an interstellar battlefield.
