The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The airship didn't stay above the battlefield, but flew directly over the battlefield, towards the outer coast of Pender Harbor.

Seeing that the airship passed through the line of defense, the revolutionary army in charge of the fortifications of Pendor Harbor immediately turned pale with fright. They thought it was an airship from the Royal Army, and its purpose was to bomb Pendor Harbor, just like the French Empire bombed the city of Miria same tactics.

So, they immediately dispatched a cavalry team to rush back from the mountain path towards Pandle Harbor. Before the airship arrived at Pandle Harbor, they had to notify the reserve army of the port to start defense and dodge, so as to avoid the sudden attack earlier and cause army losses. serious.

It's just that they didn't know that the airship had no intention of approaching the urban area of ​​Pender Harbor at all. The airship flew past the defense line and entered a relatively desolate hill in the rear, then quickly landed from a high altitude.

After a certain height from the ground, the rope ladder was lowered, and Leo, who had been prepared, climbed down the rope ladder, and then the airship took the rope ladder away, climbed back to the sky, and flew north. The whole process was very fast, only a few minutes before and after. , because of its remoteness, it has not been discovered.

Leo had already confirmed the location of Pandle Harbor on the airship, and immediately moved towards Pandle Harbor after landing, but he didn't take the main road, and was always shuttling through the sparsely populated mountains and forests.

Because the Revolutionary Army set up inspection checkpoints and secret posts on the main road in order to prevent the spies and spies of the Kingdom Army. Although it is not difficult for Leo to pass these checkpoints and secret posts with his ability, he is not going to do that.

According to his speculation, there must be some measures specifically aimed at supernatural beings in these checkpoints and secret posts, and without knowing what measures are there, even he is in danger of being exposed.

Although it is through the mountains, the road is not completely free of obstacles. In fact, in order to prevent people from walking through the mountains, the revolutionary army has set up a lot of traps in the mountains, and it is easy to recruit mountain hunters as patrol soldiers to patrol the mountains. .

In just ten minutes, Leo had already arrived at three patrol teams in the forest, and in one of the patrol teams, he also found two mutated family members, and they were two god-inspired family members.

Families can be divided in many ways, some are based on different gods, some are divided according to the bloodline of the family, and some are divided according to the degree of variation, and the divinely inspired family is also one of the division methods.

As the name implies, the Divine Enlightenment Families means that the Familiars have been enlightened by the gods, that is to say, the gods at the source of the bloodline of the Familiars are still alive, and can also reveal miracles and divine powers, so this method of dividing the Families is also called the dead and alive gods by some blasphemers.

Although the family members with divine enlightenment sound like they have found a backer for themselves, the speed of blood mutation on their body will be much faster than that of ordinary family members without gods, but this is not a good thing. Then they got in touch with the gods at the source of their blood, and they would often hear some incomprehensible whispers of the gods.

Those whispers of the gods have extremely powerful mysterious power. Ordinary people will go crazy when they hear it, and the family members of the gods will not feel better when they hear it. Every time they hear the whispers of the gods, it is a test of their willpower. If they pass it smoothly, their willpower will be able to increase rapidly, and with each test, it will be strengthened to the point where they finally ignore the whispers of the gods, but as long as they fail to resist once, then their ending will be the same as that of ordinary people Crazy, or even worse, the power of their blood will eat them back and turn them into monsters that lose their humanity.

The two families of the patrol team should have just activated their bloodline power, and the mutated parts on their bodies are not large and not very conspicuous. If Leo hadn't discovered that there were very weak energy fluctuations on these two people, maybe he would have put them together. People become ordinary people.

However, the current situation of these two people does not seem to be good. Although the blood of the family members inspired by them has not mutated too much, they still hear the whispers of the gods, and the whispers wear down their will a little bit.

It's just that none of them, including themselves, nor their colleagues in the patrol team knew their actual situation, and they all just thought they were sick. In Leo's view, the willpower of these two people should be difficult to sustain until the next day. The days when the activation of the blood vessels is enhanced, and an accident may even happen in these two days.

In fact, Leo's judgment was a bit wrong, because not long after he passed by the patrol team, the willpower of the two god-inspired family members was completely lost in the whispers of the gods, and their body The power of his bloodline also completely lost control, and the two turned into two crazy monsters one after another, launching fatal attacks on the surrounding companions.

These patrol members are just local hunters and farmers temporarily recruited by the revolutionary army. Wherever they have seen this kind of monster, they are all so frightened that they all died before they could make any moves in the face of the attacks of the two out-of-control family members. In the hands of two family members.

Leo also noticed when the two family members lost control, but because he was too far away, he couldn't stop it, and even if he could stop it, he didn't intend to stop it, because he was mutated from the two family members. Judging from the circumstances, these two family members are probably man-made family members, not real god family members.

Before a real family member of the gods becomes a family member, he will receive rigorous training from the church where he is, and the church will not allow him to become a family member until he can withstand the various side effects of becoming a family member. For, the purpose is to create warriors that can be controlled by them, so these family members must be accompanied by believers of evil gods waiting to reap the fruits.

Leo, who already had a large amount of information, was able to analyze from the mutated forms of these two family members who the evil god who caused their mutation was, Jurosatom, the mother of Montenegro.

Montenegro is a huge mountain in the folklore of the Kingdom of Maris. It is said that this mountain is taller and bigger than any mountain in the world. Its top is connected to the sky. There is a shrine where the god of Montenegro lives in.

Later, I just don’t know why the God of Montenegro angered the hill king and was killed by the hill king, while Montenegro fell apart, and the fragments of Montenegro were scattered in the Maris Kingdom, which was still a plain at that time, forming the current Across Kingdom. Nineteen mountains in the interior.

According to legend, the Mother of Montenegro is the mother of the God of Montenegro, an extremely mysterious existence. After the death of Montenegro, he took revenge on the hill king and was wounded by the hill king. After that, he hid himself and established an underground church to fight against the hill king. And because of the reason of the king of the hill, the Orthodox Church classified Urosatom, the mother of Montenegro, among the evil gods.

It's like the body of every god's family has a unique characteristic after mutation. For example, the family of the Lord of the Sky will grow some feathers, the family of the Sea God will have more tentacles, and the skin of the family of the King of the Hill will change. Incomparably rough and hard and so on.

And the family of Urosatome, the mother of Montenegro, also has this unique characteristic, that is, their family members will have a pair of goat horns, the higher the mutation level of the family members, the bigger the goat horns, and according to the family members The power of the horn changes.

For example, the horns of goats with pure body mutation will be as straight as two long swords, and the horns of goats with body and spirit mutations will be slightly complete, and according to different abilities, different symbols will appear on the horns, and that pure spirit The mutated horns of the family members will coil up, and the divine inscriptions of Urosatom will appear on the horns. To some extent, the pair of horns has become a special device like a god.

Right now, the bodies of these two out-of-control family members have swelled several times, and their faces have been completely distorted and deformed. It is impossible to describe their appearance in words, and the pair of goat horns like sharp swords on their heads are extremely eye-catching.

Leo can see that although these two families have mutated out of control, their body mutations are complete, very similar to the fighters of the mother of Montenegro, Jurosatom, in the data. Obviously, their out-of-control mutations should be caused by Manipulative, the people behind the scenes just wanted to mutate them into this.

And now for those behind the scenes, it should be time to reap the fruits.

Leo, who was rushing to leave, also stayed behind with great interest, hiding in the dense forest, quietly waiting for the follow-up development of the matter.

Things really happened as he expected, when the two out-of-control family members were using their companions who had just been killed as food, several middle-aged men dressed as revolutionary army officers approached quickly, and they walked While listening, shaking several strangely shaped bells.

After hearing the sound of the bell, the two out-of-control family members fell silent instantly, as if they had turned into puppets, their bodies shaking slightly with the frequency of the bell.

Soon those people came in front of the two out-of-control family members. One of them took out two iron ring-like things, put them on the necks of the out-of-control family members, and then chanted some scriptures to the iron rings. text or something.

Immediately, a faint yellow light shone on the iron ring, and the monster-like figures of the two out-of-control family members gradually faded away, and the two out-of-control family members turned into human appearances again, but even though their bodies shrunk, they looked It is still very tall, but at least it is within the range accepted by ordinary people.

Although the two out-of-control family members returned to human form, their spirits and souls that had been torn apart by the whispers of the gods obviously could not be restored, and what controls them now is the iron ring around their necks.

After the three cultists harvested the fruits they made, they didn't care about the dead bodies on the ground. There are ferocious beasts in the forest to help them destroy these corpses, and the missing of this patrol team can be used by the secret troops of the Royal Army. .

Afterwards, these cultists, who were officers of the Revolutionary Army, led the two out-of-control family members under their control and left the forest. They didn't know that in the dense forest not far from them, a pair of eyes looked at their What you do, what you do.

Leo didn't come forward to stop them, he watched them leave quietly, and turned around to continue on his way.

Leo was not surprised that there were followers of the Mother of Montenegro within the Revolutionary Army, because the King of the Hill is the state religion of the Kingdom of Maris. As a staunch opponent of the King of the Hill, the followers of the Mother of Montenegro would naturally join the revolution secretly. Army, the only question is whether the leaders of the Revolutionary Army know that the cultists of the Mother of Montenegro are in their army.

Although there is no evidence, Leo feels that the leader of the Revolutionary Army should know this, and may even contact the Church of the Mother of Montenegro, asking them to send people to join the Revolutionary Army. As for the reason, I am afraid that it is also to resist the superhumans of the Kingdom Army.

The world is becoming different. Leo felt it when he was in the Kingdom of England. The most direct feeling is that all kinds of extraordinary people have begun to increase, and the number of things in the special bureau has also increased. Since the Kingdom of England is like this, the Kingdom of Maris on another continent is certainly no exception, so the Kingdom of Maris must also have an organization similar to the Special Bureau, with a large number of extraordinary people.

When the strength and combat power of the two sides are similar, the combat power at the top becomes the key to the outcome of the war. If the opponent's extraordinary person sneaks into the local barracks and kills the opponent's commander before the war begins, then the future The tide of battle is likely to turn.

Naturally, it is impossible for the revolutionary army from the bottom to have so many extraordinary people working, so the only way for them to fight against the extraordinary people of the Kingdom Army is to turn to some forces that cannot be put on the table.

"Witch Squad?" Leo suddenly thought of the Witch Squad who was holding a party here, and he couldn't help but wonder if they would also intervene in the civil war in the Kingdom of Marris.

Although they encountered several patrol teams on the road afterwards, they did not encounter any unusual incidents, and soon Leo came to the outskirts of Pender Harbor.

Pender Harbor is not a big port in the Kingdom of Maris, and the construction of the port city is not like other big port cities with a variety of tall buildings. Most of the buildings here are low brick houses, the tallest The buildings are the chimneys of the smelters outside the city.

Although, not long ago, the fleet of the Kingdom of Maris attacked Pender Harbor, but their fleet did not seem to have any powerful heavy weapons, so the damage to the city was not that great. There were only a few warehouses and wooden docks near the docks. , destroyed, as for the buildings in the urban area, there was no damage.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the port city does not seem to be particularly tense. It is completely different from the tense war atmosphere outside. People in Maris Port still work and live as usual, and have not been affected by the war at all. The only thing that can see the shadow of the war is There are many more guard posts in the urban area, and a pass issued by the Revolutionary Army is required to enter and exit different blocks.

In addition, the barracks built outside the city are also very eye-catching, but the atmosphere inside the barracks seems to be very tense now. A large number of troops rushed out of the barracks, and a propaganda vehicle drove into the city, as if to promote some evacuation method. Things like this made the originally peaceful neighborhood atmosphere become extremely tense.
