Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 74 Fomalhaut Clan

Ji Xinghuo got off the train, walked out of the train station, and saw a prosperous big city.

 “Yanhuang City!”

Chi Zhonglin next to him looked around and sighed: "I haven't been here for a long time. When I first arrived in the Star Boundary, I was always in Yanhuang City, and then I went to Olympia. If the Star Gate wasn't in Olympia, I would still prefer it here. , and have a greater sense of belonging.”

Ji Xinghuo nodded. As long as the Star Gate is still there, Olympia's advantage can never be replaced.

Yanhuang City is located more than 400 kilometers east of Olympia.

This is the key city of the Asia-Pacific Community in the star realm, second only to Olympia.

 “Let’s go out of the city.”

Ren Mian took the team on the bus.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the urban area outside the window. The buildings in Yanhuang City had an obvious oriental style, with white walls and black tiles, and deep courtyards, as if he had traveled to an ancient city thousands of years ago.

Yanhuang City has a population of more than five million. It is the third largest city in the Star Boundary after Olympia and New Philadelphia, and the second largest city in area. The city wall is also very high. You can see a tall city wall spanning a few kilometers away. in front.

 The bus stopped at the foot of the city and a group of four people got off.

 “East City Gate.”

Ji Xinghuo looked at the big characters on the city gate, stepped out from here, and entered the territory of the Fomalhaut clan not far ahead.

This time I went out hunting, and my target was not an ordinary monster, but the Fomalhaut clan.

 The biggest enemy of mankind on earth!

Ji Xinghuo was startled last night when Ren Mian revealed the hunting plan, and Chi Zhonglin and Jiangnan Caiyi also had solemn expressions on their faces.

 The deep hatred for the Fomalhaut tribe is a common sentiment among all people on earth.

Not long after the Star Gate opened in 2033, the Fomalhaut tribe invaded the Earth, causing the deaths of two billion people in the first year alone. The subsequent decades of resistance wars left indelible psychological trauma to all mankind. . To this day, when people look back on that period of history, they still feel a sting.

 In the Milky Way, Earth is 25 light-years away from Fomalhaut.

In the star realm, the distance between the two star gates is only 548 kilometers, which is almost face to face!

There are eight star gates in the Thousand Peaks Abyss Forest ruled by King Tianyu. The distance between other star gates is at least three to four thousand kilometers. Only the distance between Earth and Fomalhaut is the closest.

 This is a huge misfortune for the planet.

 Because the star gate of Fomalhaut opened more than a thousand years earlier than the earth, the Fomalhaut clan entered the star realm earlier and came into contact with supernatural powers, so they were able to bring huge catastrophes to the earth.

  In 2051, under the forced mediation of Tianyu Royal Court, the two parties signed a peace agreement.

The agreement stipulates that humans on Earth and the Fomalhaut tribe are bounded by the midpoint of the star gates on both sides and shall not invade each other.

The center point of the Star Gate is in the southeast of Olympia, a distance of 274 kilometers. The two races use this as the boundary to build a military defense line of more than 2,000 kilometers long.

  It is both a line of defense and a front line.

This long military defense line is jointly guarded by all countries on the earth, but the main contributions are made by the Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation. The southern end of the defense line is New Philadelphia, which belongs to the American League, and the eastern end is the Yanhuang City of the Asia-Pacific Community, one to the east and one to the south, as well as tens of thousands of fortresses, fortresses, and fortifications along the line to protect Olympia in the rear.

“Xiaochi, go and rent four mounts.” Ren Mian said to Chi Zhonglin. There was a horse shop not far from the city gate.

Ji Xinghuo laughed secretly in his heart.

Soon, Chi Zhonglin returned with four wildebeests.

 The four of them mounted their horses and rode out of the city.

Coming out of the east city gate, Ji Xinghuo saw the vast mountains and forests.

 Hunting groups walked along the road for a while, then dispersed into it and disappeared, like water merging into the ocean.

“Let’s walk along the avenue until we reach the front line.” Ren Mian pointed to the east.

The four of them held the horse's belly and let the wildebeest run quickly. There were flat roads along the way, and there was no danger. In less than an hour, they arrived at a huge military fortress called "Dongji Pass".

 Dongji Pass was built in an extremely steep valley to guard the main road.

 Small-scale teams can cross the mountains and bypass Dongji Pass, but for large-scale marches to Yanhuang City, this fortress must be attacked.

Entering Dongji Pass, the atmosphere here is extremely heavy and everyone has serious expressions.

 When Chi Zhonglin went to the horse shop to return his mount, Ji Xinghuo observed the surroundings.

Rows of steam ballistae are installed on the thick and high fortress wall, and there are many sentry towers. The Asia-Pacific Community's Astra Militarum is everywhere. Inside the East Pole Pass is a large military camp with more than 30,000 troops. The magnetic field induction Two legendary strangers were also discovered!

 Hunting teams entering and leaving Dongji Pass all came and went in a hurry and did not stay long.

"let's go."

Ren Mian led his teammates out of the fortress, looked at the boundless forest in front of him, and said solemnly: "A few kilometers further, we will enter the territory of the Fomalhaut clan. Don't relax, there may be danger at any time. .”

“Our destination is far away from Dongji Pass, estimated to be four thousand kilometers.”

“We must be on guard at all times along the way and try to avoid enemies.” She paused here. “If there is an opportunity to take action, we should not miss it.”

 “Understood.” All three of them nodded.

The Earth and Fomalhaut have signed a peace agreement for more than 170 years, but the agreement is not very binding. The two sides have constant friction, and large-scale conflicts break out two or three times almost every year. On average, every thirty years, there will be An interstellar war breaks out.

 On the border, hunting teams from both sides penetrated, infiltrated, and assassinated each other, resulting in constant deaths. There is a road outside Dongji Pass that extends into the forest.

If you walk more than ten kilometers along this road, you will see a military fortress of the Fomalhaut clan, facing the Dongji Pass in the distance.

Ji Xinghuo and the others did not take this road. After Ren Mian identified the direction, he went slightly north and shuttled through the forest.

The forest in Qianfengyuan Forest is extremely lush, and the big trees form a shade that blocks out the sky and the sun. It is divided into multiple levels from top to bottom. The lower you go, the less light you get. The plants at the bottom are sparse, and as far as you can see , there are huge tree trunks in every direction, it is deep and complicated, and it is easy to get lost.

Ji Xinghuo raised his spirits and the magnetic field induction spread out.

The magnetic field within a range of 800 meters is mapped in his mind. He skillfully screens various types of magnetic fields, just like using different filters to form different induction images.

Chi Zhonglin walked in the front, he and Ren Mian were in the middle, and Jiangnan Caiyi trailed a little behind, keeping alert.

 Ren Mian paid close attention to Ji Xinghuo almost all the time.

Ji Xinghuo is the "eyes" of the team, and she is the "brain". The two must transmit information regularly and direct the team's next move.

After walking for more than half an hour, Ji Xinghuo made a gesture and stopped.

"what's the situation?"

 Ren Mian immediately opened the thinking link.

Ji Xinghuo pointed to the left: "There is a group of shadow wolves over there, eight in total. Do you want to take action?"

"No." Ren Mian said without hesitation, "Every battle that happens here is very dangerous and may attract enemies. Avoid the wolves."

"good."

 The team took a detour to put some distance between themselves and the wolves.

Ji Xinghuo secretly thought it was a pity.

 Ren Mian didn’t know that his magnetic field sensing distance was 800 meters. He always thought it was only more than 300 meters. The detection range of the two differed by about six times.

 He is confident that he will always be on guard against the enemy, and he will soon be able to hunt down the wolves and harvest the spiritual energy.

 In the next few hours, Ji Xinghuo discovered monsters two or three times, but except for the monster that entered within a distance of 300 meters, he did not say anything about the rest.

 There has been no battle along the way.

Ji Xinghuo was a little relaxed when he suddenly felt something in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

To the right, a very hidden outpost was discovered through magnetic field induction. It was built on a tree more than 20 meters above the ground. It was hidden among the lush branches and leaves and blended into the shade of the tree. If you only use your eyes to see it, it is difficult to see it. Discover.

Ji Xinghuo did not make any announcement in advance, but continued to observe.

 There are "people" in the outpost!

He sensed five biomagnetic fields. One was human-shaped, similar to the size of humans on Earth, with an extra tail. The other three were also human-shaped, but smaller, only a little over one meter tall. They were compact and flexible. The last magnetic field was the most peculiar.

If Ji Xinghuo wasn't very experienced in identifying biomagnetic fields, he would probably have ignored it.

The scope of this biomagnetic field is very large, almost integrated with the outpost on the tree. The shape is scattered, like hundreds of branches tangled into a large group, with a core inside, which seems to be its brain.

 “Fomalhaut!”

Ji Xinghuo recognized it instantly.

Fomalhaut is a collective name. They are not like the only humans on earth, but have four different races.

Their parent star is the Jupiter-like planet "Fomalhaut b", named "Dagon", which revolves around the star "Fomalhaut". This planet, which is three times more massive than Jupiter, has 200 Multiple moons, four races were born on three of them.

 The best environment is the "Jasper Forest", which is only half the diameter of the earth, has a thick atmosphere, and more than 40% of the area is water and ocean.

The ecosystem of the Jasper Forest is very developed, giving birth to two races: the "Dagon people" and the "vine spirits".

The other "grey ring" star is ruled by the small insect-like "Golaukak". The gray ring star with lower gravity allows them to have wing membranes, which can fly short distances and are very flexible.

 The one farthest from the home star and with the harshest environment is the "Night Star", which gave birth to the hard-skinned, cold-blooded race "Skin Lizards".

 Before the Star Gate opened, the four races fought against each other for tens of thousands of years.

But after the Star Gate opened, the Dagon people gradually gained the upper hand with their better talents and defeated the Vine Elves who had been fighting against them for dozens of centuries. They finally unified the three satellites and unified the four races into what they are today. Fomalhaut clan.

The Dagon people suddenly became the ruling class of the Fomalhaut tribe, followed by the Vine Elves, while Golukak and the Skink were the ruled and at the bottom.

That creature with a very strange magnetic field shape is the vine spirit.

They are a half-animal, half-plant race. They are hermaphrodites, self-reproductive, have no fixed appearance, and are born with the ability to control plants. Therefore, almost all of them are plant witches.

 The three short humanoid figures are Golukak.

This insect race is good at flying and has very keen hearing. A few are proficient in illusion abilities, so they are responsible for reconnaissance and assassination in the Fomalhaut clan.

That human-shaped magnetic field is the Dagonite, the commander of this outpost.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t find out about the Skink people.

He continued walking forward in silence. When he was only more than 300 meters away from the outpost, he suddenly stopped and made a silent gesture, pointing to the hidden outpost in the tree.

 “Fomalhaut!”
