The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World - Chapter 658

c658 Only one out of ten survives

Old England, Holy City.

Time passed quickly, and the long night soon left. When the morning light rose from the eastern sky, it announced a new day.

“The rescue airship has set off and will arrive at the battlefield where the monsters were fought yesterday before noon. Maybe there are still people alive, but don’t hold too much hope. In the vast snowfield, the cold air in the dark will kill the soldiers, and once the airship falls, it has no ability to glide. Under the huge impact, the probability of the soldiers surviving is very low.”

In the office of the head of the Knights Templar, Morin was reporting to Peggy.

Sitting at his desk, Peggy said solemnly, “Even if one person is still alive, it is meaningful to send a rescue airship.”

Speaking of this, Peggy took a deep breath and said, “Have the war losses been counted?”

Nodding, Peggy said, “Only one in ten of the fleet survived. Only 148 ships and 1,319 airships were able to escape back. The number of casualties among soldiers was about 130,000, including thousands of gray monks, hundreds of white monks, four knight commanders, and four holy cloth archbishops.”

The reason why airships and spaceships can fly into the sky is entirely due to the power of holy light, and the monks are the energy source of the spaceships.

Gray monks can make an airship fly, while white monks can make a large spaceship fly. Due to the strength of their abilities, they are divided into four levels: gray, white, red, and holy.

Gray monks are the lowest level of clergy, followed by white monks, and above them are red monks, and above them are holy monks.

Bishops are also divided into three levels: white cardinals, red cardinals, holy cardinals, and holy cardinals.

Although the holy cardinals are strong, the battlefield is in the sky. As long as the spaceship falls, the holy cardinals will die with the falling spaceship no matter how strong they are.

Hearing this, the expression on Peggy’s face was very ugly.

Clergymen are difficult to train. No matter how many ordinary soldiers die, they are just a number in Peggy’s eyes and can be recovered quickly, but the loss of thousands of gray monks and hundreds of white monks will take decades to recover.

In this battle alone, the power of the Holy City can be said to be only one tenth of it, and it has lost the ability to fight external wars.

With a sigh in his heart, Peggy said helplessly: “In this battle alone, nine out of ten of the power of the Holy City will be buried in the mouths of strange beasts. Perhaps, as the archbishop said, this is God’s will, and God’s will cannot be violated.”

With a cold snort, Morin said in a deep voice: “We are protected by the Holy Light. What is God’s will? Time does not wait for us. We are just unlucky.”

Raising his hand and waving, Peggy said: “Go, take a good rest these days, and wait for the spacecraft that explores the south to come back, and then formulate a revival plan. By then, we will be busy again.”

“Yes!”

After answering, Morin turned around and strode away.

Standing up, Peggy came to the window and looked at the dim city view outside.

There were airships coming in and out, and the holy shield in the sky of the Holy City had been lowered to facilitate the airships to enter and exit.

As the leader of the Knights Templar, he must think more than others, and he must think about where the future of the Holy City lies.

The appearance of Black Flag City is somewhat inexplicable. One thing is beyond doubt, Black Flag City is full of hostility towards the Holy City, otherwise it would not invade the Holy City in a big way as soon as it discovered the existence of the Holy City.

What is the purpose of Black Flag City?

Is it just to occupy this city?

Peggy thought of what Archbishop Leo had said to him.

Archbishop Leo said that Black Flag City came for Stonehenge, and Stonehenge is an altar.

In human history, Stonehenge is just a mysterious thing. Black Flag City cannot know that Stonehenge is an altar, an altar that can establish a connection with the Holy Light.

However, if Black Flag City does not know the function of Stonehenge, why does Black Flag City want to find Stonehenge?

There is only one possibility, that is, Black Flag City knows that Stonehenge is an altar that can establish a connection with the Holy Light, so it will launch a large-scale attack.

Thinking of this, Peggy frowned slightly.

If this is true, then the current situation of the Holy City is not good. The fleet of Black Flag City may appear at any time. Although it is protected by the Holy Shield, the nuclear power plant fortress and relay station fortress outside are not protected by the Holy Shield.

Once Black Flag City sets its sights on the nuclear power plant and destroys the nuclear power plant on the west coast, the Holy City will fall into chaos…

Original Continent, Xiping Lake Basin, Black Flag City.

Time passed quickly, day after day passed, and tomorrow after tomorrow, it seemed endless.

For some reason, the people of Black Flag City suddenly found that the strange beasts they used to fear seemed to have disappeared, and almost no news about strange beasts had been heard in the past two years.

Even without the huge wall at the entrance of the valley, Black Flag City is safe.

“Is there any news over there?”

In the practice room on the twelfth floor of the Governor’s Mansion, Li Meng stood in front of the drawing board, holding a palette in one hand and a brush in the other, painting one stroke at a time.

Today’s model is Wei Qiuying, who is wearing a black short dress that covers her hips. She sits elegantly on the sofa, smiling and staring at Li Meng from time to time.

Next to Li Meng is the intelligent brain suspended in the air.

“The spaceship arrived in Africa five days ago, first circled Madagascar Island several times, and then headed south along the east coast of Africa. They were too careless and landed on the east coast of the Mozambique Channel. Because they went too deep inland, they were attacked by strange beasts at night, and the people on the ship did not see the sun the next day.”

Hearing this, Li Meng shook his head and said, “It seems that they really know nothing about the outside world. The more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is. The joy in their hearts makes them relax their vigilance.”

The African continent and the Dark Continent, which are not covered by the polar temperature layer, have a very beautiful natural environment. The plants seem to have undergone some mutations and grow abnormally tall.

Whether it is grasslands, plateaus, mountains, deserts, or plains, they are all covered by wildly growing vegetation and have become a paradise for individual beasts.

It can be said that the African continent and the Dark Continent have become the ecosystem of beasts.

And this ecosystem is extremely dangerous to humans. Although the upper limit of individual beasts is not as high as that of tribes, their individual strength is stronger. The weak ones may not be as strong as the native animals on Earth, but the strong ones also have disadvantages. There are stronger leader-level beasts. These two places are regarded as forbidden areas by new humans, and there is a reason.

The intelligent computer continued: “Just yesterday at 8 o’clock in the morning European time, five large spaceships set sail from that city and headed straight south. It is expected to arrive at the African continent north of the equator around 2 o’clock this afternoon.”

Five large spaceships?
