Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 1107
[1107. Memory under time and space]
Moss, moss was everywhere, these rare little things spread and glowed in the maze, and the three of them walked deeper underground from here.
No one could have guessed that the cloister was originally part of the magnificent royal palace of the Quentin people. The walls are covered with exquisite reliefs depicting a magnificent scale of life. Includes palaces, temples, houses, stables, arched gates, columns, works of art, towers, defensive walls, terraces, gardens.
Inside the cloister is a complex passageway with ancient stone steps. The lowest level of the stone steps is the road leading to the entrance of the tower base.
Cold air blew from different directions. The three of them went down and seemed to come to a wide and dark intersection.
The faint green light flickered and flickered. Standing here, Zhuge Yun noticed the intersection of different time and space, and could even imagine how many people had passed by here at that time.
Feeling the fluctuation of life, the light on the moss becomes more dazzling, as if an invisible hand is playing with them.
Zhuge Yun paid attention to the movement of energy and inspected the surrounding buildings. He suddenly said to Quintasha, “Are you familiar with this place?”
“I… haven’t been here for a long time. I only vaguely remember the direction. Why are you so Ask?”
Quintasha was stunned for a moment before answering.
“I’m just curious. Besides that, I also want to know what will be the outcome of the next Northern Expedition? And why do the believers here only follow you?”
“This question… are you just curious?”
“Yes.”
Quintasha looked at Zhuge Yun’s calm eyes and felt a chill slowly creeping into her heart. Where did this look seem familiar?
“The Northern Expedition is not what everyone imagined…”
On the way, Quintasha once again recounted the long-lasting past events.
The Quentin Empire had indeed spent a lot of money on this troop dispatch. It took a whole year just to assemble the armies of the giants from all walks of life and train them.
The day of departure has come.
Thousands of war horses neighed, flags fluttered, armor shone, and the cold light on the weapons made the earth shine instantly.
The thirteen ancient city gates of Xanadu were opened at the same time. The roads were paved with flowers and filled with cobblestones as thick as a thumb. Tens of thousands of security teams were deployed along the way to maintain order. Among the marching team were temple priests, mysterious masked psychics riding elephants, soul forgers with ligers on their hips, and countless nobles and generals.
Military equipment, materials and various supplies were collected from the empire’s jurisdiction as much as possible. The long queue of troops took a whole day to pass through the widest streets in the empire. And this is only the vanguard, the main force has not entered the city.
This scene, this scene, is truly unprecedented and spectacular in the empire.
In addition to dumbfounding the people along the street, it also gave them a deeper understanding of the wealth of the empire and the grandeur of the royal family.
In addition, many families supporting the imperial royal family also brought the most powerful “human and god” troops. These people have powerful abilities. When fighting against enemies, they can fight one against a hundred. They are so powerful that no one can stop them. The reason is that they have developed spiritual power that is more powerful than ordinary people.
There is also an even more special troop. They wear scarlet armor and carry short knives and swords, as if they have just drunk the blood of their enemies.
The leading priests wore complicated and gorgeous robes inlaid with gold patterns. They chanted monotonous and sonorous prayers and slowly passed through the palace tent of the imperial royal family with neat steps. In the middle of the team was a huge wooden magic circle carried by thirty-two people. In the center of the magic circle sat a tall young man with black hair wrapped around his forehead and nearly three meters tall – Quintasha.
The spectacular expedition ceremony was noisy, flashy and extremely extravagant, but the vanity of those in power was greatly satisfied, but this could not conceal their ignorance and the many difficulties they were about to face.
If you want to go to the Northern Continent, you must first solve the transportation problem.
The solution is to rebuild the passage connecting the two continents of Mu and the North. This time-consuming and labor-intensive project is not only related to the army’s strategic supplies, but also related to the lifeline of the army’s advance and retreat. Needless to say, how important it is.
The huge rift valley on the ground extends for tens of thousands of kilometers, passing through the frozen soil plateau, and going deep into the tall snowy mountains and savannah deserts in the north. It is like a natural chasm and insurmountable.
However, since ancient times, there have been rope bridges built by ancestors at several extremely narrow places on the fissure. It is unknown when these rope bridges were built, showing the great wisdom of the builders.
The rope bridge may have only ropes connected to wooden boards at first, but over the countless years in the future, it was continuously reinforced and renovated by nearby border people, and the ropes were replaced with iron ropes. There were more and more iron ropes, and the scale of the bridge became larger and larger. , almost becoming the only available channel connecting the two continents.
The Kunting Empire has always had heavy military personnel at various bridges and arteries. It built border passes very early and organized garrison troops to reclaim the mountainous areas. Many nearby border residents and adventurers covet the various unique products of the Northern Continent: such as precious metals and minerals, so they often travel between the two places due to the temptation of profit.
However, these people did not dare to go too far into the northern border, up to a hundred kilometers away. After finding what they wanted, they did not dare to stay, and they immediately withdrew within a few days.
However, it is not that bold dreamers have tried to settle down and build houses in the northern land. However, some people soon discovered that the northern land was too terrifying. It could take a few months or a few weeks, and the houses they had just built would be destroyed by unknown aliens who suddenly arrived. Not only that, some people went Never came back.
Those who escaped described that these aliens were ferocious in appearance, cruel and bloody, and could eat human flesh. The scene was unbearable to watch, and the cruel methods were unheard of.
After that, countless horrific legends began to spread, which gave the Dark Continent its name, and no one dared to go there to find a permanent residence.
Of course, those in power in the empire have heard of these rumors, but they think they are all nonsense: those alien races are barbaric and uncivilized. Although they are bloodthirsty and cruel, they will only attack unarmed good people. Moreover, they are more like a piece of loose sand and will soon be completely wiped out by the army. Destroyed.
Stimulated by all kinds of greed, frenzied desire to conquer, and more importantly, the soul crystal resource, the Quentin Empire would never give up this piece of fat, so it could only continue to move forward.
Because the army was too large, they first thought of introducing seawater to fill the natural chasm and use warships to cross the northern border. So a ditch was dug from the far end near the sea, but after several attempts, the crack in the earth seemed like an endless abyss. The seawater disappeared instantly and could not be filled at all, leaving only a series of spectacular waterfalls.
In the end, out of helplessness, they had to choose the slowest and most unreliable method: strengthening the bridge cables and building more and larger bridges so that the army could pass smoothly.
According to the original plan of the rulers of the empire, the most important purpose of this northern expedition was to obtain soul crystals and conquer the so-called alien races.
However, the latter is just a rhetoric aimed at the general public. It doesn’t matter if it exists or not. The rulers don’t care too much.
