Chapter 830
830 The terrifying Miranda
When the smoke dispersed, the dust settled.
Through the holographic screen in the command cabin of the temporary dock, the situation of the ground teleportation group was captured.
the group of teleportation gates had been reduced to ruins, and not a single one was intact.
“Beautiful!”
Kagall and the other commanders clenched their fists and cheered.
Without the teleportation gate, the problem they were most worried about was solved.
The alien army on the ground had lost their support, and Link’s martyr-class drone could avoid the electromagnetic pulse circle. Attacking the enemies on the ground was as easy as taking something from his pocket.
The surprise attack was successful, and the alien army of womil was really on the edge.
The enemies who had gathered in the teleportation circle began to scatter to avoid too many losses in the following bombing.
Link wasn’t complacent just because he had succeeded in one attack.
He had only known about the ‘loophole’ in the Vomir electromagnetic pulse circle in advance, and this was what the other players had analyzed in his previous life. He had only learned from them.
“Helen, continue to organize the bombing with the reinforcement teams as the main force and the rest of the assault aircraft as support. I only have one goal, and that is to find all the electromagnetic pulse circles in womall.”
They had to investigate all the electromagnetic pulse points in womil before they could engage in a close combat battle.
on the other hand, the first-rank people were all laughing. cagle laughed and said, ” with this martyr-class unmanned assault aircraft, we don’t even need to fight on land. We can wipe out the entire vermeil with Air Forces.
the other army commanders laughed in unison, agreeing with what kagor said.
Eating hotpot and singing in a temporary dock, annihilating all the alien planets, how beautiful!
Link raised his head and stared at the speaker, Kagel, and recognized him.
“You were the one who directed the ship to enter the atmosphere of womil, right?”
Link’s question immediately made Kagel wither. His expression, which had just regained its vigor, withered like a frosted eggplant.
“Did you become a regimental commander because of your experience? is your brain a diode? The reason why the alien planet had the teleportation group on the surface was because it was safe. Now that we’ve discovered them, they only need to rebuild the teleportation group underground.”
also, the martyr-class drone can’t dive too low. If it’s too low, the electromagnetic pulse echo time will be too short, and it’s impossible to Dodge. We can only attack the key buildings and facilities on the surface.”
“Kagel, let me give you a piece of advice. There are no shortcuts in war.”
After being criticized in front of so many people, Kagel’s face turned red, but he could not say anything to refute.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She didn’t even dare to look link in the eye.
He only felt like a clown now, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
The others ‘expressions were not too good either, but they also reacted.
that’s right, what’s the use of air attacks? as long as the alien army hid underground, they wouldn’t be troubled by the bombing.
There was enough food and water underground. On the other hand, if they were to launch a large-scale attack, the rations on the warships could only last for half a year to a year.
When the logistics were cut off, wouldn’t they have to retreat in defeat?
Therefore, a landing battle was inevitable.
Looking at it this way, what Kagel said just now was really childish.
moreover, link’s criticism was reasonable.
It was true that kagall had nepotism behind him when he became the captain of the first Corps. he was once the subordinate of the wise one, thuss, who later became the spiritual leader of the first order. thus, cagle naturally took over the first army and the most powerful warship of the first order, the intrepid.
If link had been making things up, Cagle might not have been convinced. However, everything he said was the truth. This time, he felt as if he had been grabbed by the neck.
Link looked around the command room and only saw the commanders. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “Why, joisse didn’t come?”
” he did, ” ning chengqi said. ” but he doesn’t participate in the meeting, so he’s been in the temporary laboratory. ”
it will take some time for the drone formation to destroy key buildings on the ground and explore the electromagnetic pulse array. I’ll have to trouble old ning to invite Alchemist Bai over. I have a young man here who has been cursed by Safron and need him to examine him.”
A few minutes later.
In the temporary laboratory.
joisse looked at miranda, his rotten bark-like skin filled with surprise. his voice trembled as he stopped the girl. ” such a small body, yet it has to withstand this amount of energy. what kind of enmity does saffron have with this girl? why would he curse a child like this? ”
joyce was so angry that his hands were trembling. how could such a vicious curse be used on a child?
Miranda was a little scared. She turned around and looked at link with pleading eyes, as if she was asking for help.
It was only when link gave Miranda a reassuring look that her anxiety eased a little.
Mr. Joyce, may I ask what kind of curse is placed on Miranda? is there any way to lift the curse? ” Link asked urgently.
“I can only sense that this is an extremely intense shadow energy. I’ve never seen it before, so I can’t tell,” grace said.
Joisse was dressed in white casual clothes. The sleeves and collar of his clothes were embroidered with blue cloud patterns, making him look clean and Holy.
“the energy in this child’s body is the shadow soul-fire. It’s an extremely vicious dual elemental energy of shadow and fire, extremely rare in the universe.”
” the shadow soul fire’s characteristic is that it will automatically absorb the world’s energy. no matter what kind of elemental energy it is, it will be absorbed and transformed into the dark shadow soul fire’s energy.
” as a result, once this energy is injected into his body, the energy in his body will enter a trend of rapid growth. ”
when the energy exceeds the body’s capacity, it will be released. The destructive power is at least at the calamity grade.
Calamity grade Kasaya
The people present were stunned.
Among the universe’s universal power grades, Grade B was the cream of the crop, while Grade A was the Overlord of a region, with enough power to deter a galaxy cluster.
There was another criterion for Grade A, which was to be able to cause mass destruction to a planet. Hence, Grade A was also known as calamity grade.
The power of Miranda’s energy was comparable to that of a calamity grade, which was beyond the expectations of everyone in the first-rank.
Many of them were horrified. Link was crazy to bring a time bomb with him.
what they were worried about now was that once miranda lost control of the energy in her body, not only would the mechanical fortress be completely destroyed, but the 1000-year foundation of the first order would also be destroyed.
But now that link was the leader, they couldn’t vote to remove him from power like they did to ning Chengqi.
To summarize it in six simple words-
She felt wronged, but she couldn’t say it.
Link did not like the first-rank people from the start. Now that he had the power, he would ignore everyone else except ning chengqiu.
It’s none of my business if they’re unhappy. Anyway, I’m happy.
then, do you have a way to remove The Shadow Soul Fire energy in Miranda’s body? ”
Joisse was hesitating. His alchemy skills were on par with Saffron’s. Although he knew about this vicious element, if he wanted to break Saffron’s curse, he still had to start with the alchemy curse itself.
“I know the steps and formula of safurong’s curse, and I need some clues to reverse the curse. But I don’t have anything on hand now, so I don’t know where to start.”
I have Saffron’s alchemy notes here, as well as the simple Alchemy table he left behind. Master, you can take a look and see if you can find any clues.
Grace quickly passed the alchemy notes to joisse and then returned to bring over a Simple Alchemy table.
After joisse checked them one by one, his serious expression still remained.
Finally, he sighed and shook his head helplessly. ” i’m sorry, but there’s no clue about this vicious alchemy curse in this information. sorry, i can’t help you. ”
Grace’s heart was about to break. She thought that Miranda’s problem would be easily solved after meeting the White Alchemist joisse.
He didn’t expect it to still not work.
However, Link’s sharp senses noticed a change in the situation. He asked, are you sure that as long as you have a clue about this alchemy curse, you will be able to decipher the curse formula and solve the problem? ”
Joisse stared at link. It was a question, but he could hear the certainty in it. He seemed confident in getting the clue to the alchemy curse.
yes, as long as I can find clues related to this alchemy curse, I’m confident that I can reverse-prove the formula and find a way to break it. “In addition, as an Alchemist on par with saffron, I can guarantee that this vicious alchemy curse must have been carefully calculated before it was cast. It can’t be a sudden inspiration, there must be a manuscript and deduction!”
alright, then please stay in the temporary dock for a while, Mr. Joisse. I’ll definitely find some clues!
Joisse nodded and emphasized,”but you have to hurry.” i can see that you’ve put in a lot of effort to control the growth of energy. However, judging from the current growth rate of your energy, you won’t be able to suppress it in a month. with me here, i can suppress it for another month. so, two months is the final deadline!”
link did some calculations. two months was tight, but it should be enough.
The reason link was so confident was because he had a mission to complete.
The main quest [ the direction of the van TI system ] second round [ attack vermeil ], one of the rewards was Saffron’s complete alchemy notes.
since it was marked as complete, there must be information related to the curse.
Therefore, this key mission would end up in the same way as the main quest.
joyce patted miranda’s little head and even helped her tidy up her braids. ” “Little friend, don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”
The well-behaved and adorable Miranda had only been in contact with the first-order for less than an hour, but she had already gained the favor and concern of some people.
miranda nodded and turned to comfort joyce. ” “Old grandpa, you don’t have to work too hard. Life and death are predestined. If there’s really no other way, I’ll calmly face my death and not cause any trouble for any of you. I don’t want you to get sick from overwork because of me. ”
Miranda’s childish words made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.
Several commanders felt as if something had struck their hearts. Heartache, regret, unwillingness, helplessness, and all sorts of other emotions were intertwined. In the end, their tear glands reacted, and tears welled up in their eyes.
This little girl was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache!
“Hahaha! My bones are hard, with your words, I can guarantee that you’ll be safe and sound!” joisse patted his shoulder and promised.
joisse then turned to link and grace and said, ” miranda will stay with me for the next few days. i’ll teach her some breathing techniques. if there’s a problem, she can check it immediately. ”
Naturally, link agreed. Joisse could see Grace’s intense motherly love for Miranda with a single glance, so he needed her consent.
although grace was extremely unwilling in her heart, when the words reached the tip of her tongue, they turned into consent.
Nothing was more important than Miranda’s health.
Just from the layout of the laboratory and the various drafts and scrolls, grace could tell that this white Alchemist joisse was definitely not weaker than saffron.
of course, if you’re free, you can come and visit every day.
children will naturally be nervous when they first come to an unfamiliar environment. You can calm her down by coming here every day.
in addition, I see that you are also studying alchemy, which is more inclined to Dark Alchemy. I can give you some guidance.
Joyce also had a love for talent.
Alchemy was a special subject that combined mysticism, chemistry, biology, and curses. It was a niche subject.
Now that he could see that Grace’s alchemy talent and ability weren’t weak, he had the intention to train her.
Josse looked up at link and asked curiously, ” Mr. Lin, would you mind telling me about Miranda’s story? I’d like to know why saffron would attack a child like her.
Joisse decided to start from the source of the matter, hoping to get some clues.
this curse was extremely powerful and vicious. he had fought with saffron for hundreds of years, so he knew a thing or two about it even if he did not know everything.
Although saffron was vicious and was not afraid of using Dark Alchemy to achieve his goal, there was no need to cast such a demonic spell on a little girl.
Firstly, it was not necessary, and secondly, it was not worth it.
The Shadow Soul Fire was an extremely rare resource. It could absorb the surrounding energy and turn it into a shadow, which was almost comparable to a perpetual motion machine.
As long as he used it properly, he would be able to obtain an endless stream of power.
It was not normal for such a material to be used on a little girl!
link thought for a moment and said slowly, ” “it’s my fault. the wasteland resisted the invasion of the alien planet. As saffron was a projection, he was unable to use large amounts of energy. “Thus, when they were defeated, they captured Miranda and her brother Sean and modified them. Before they left, they took Sean with them, but left Miranda behind, saying that it was a gift for the wasteland.”
after my research, I found that the energy in Miranda’s body was growing day by day. When it reached a critical point, it would be released. That’s why I kept her by my side, hoping to find a solution.
Link then began to narrate Miranda and Sean’s story in detail.
The story that made the entire wasteland shed tears and touched everyone with the glory of humanity.
