Chapter 352 The Expeditionary Road: The White-haired Lone Army(2/3)
Vito let out a long sigh. After smiling at Adams, he looked at the main road ahead. It was a long, straight and wide road. At the end of the street was the huge landing deck of the Emperor Fantasy.
.
The magnificent landing gate bridge has been lowered. Its wide and long bridge deck hangs on the ground, and behind it is the entire tall ship body like a wall of the world. Its towering body is decorated with platinum.
With bright golden statues and patterns, the huge reliefs and gold-trimmed armor, it looks like a temple on a secluded planet.
A long door bridge connects the main door of the ship, and on both sides of it, on both sides of the door frame and the bridge, stand two tall angel statues. The two closed-wing angels wearing hoods and pointing to the holy sword are like
Two golden giant divine soldiers guarded both sides of the magnificent gate.
The sun shines on their beautiful faces and the golden armors they wear, and the dazzling light shines on them. They guard the magnificent ship that fell to the earth. For decades, they have been loyal guards.
With.
And just like them, under the battleship, on both sides of the road in front of the landing gate, there are many buildings, and there are many people walking between those wooden or iron buildings. These people from the Great Expedition
Veterans live here and have guarded the battleships behind them for decades.
Vito took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly and walked onto the street. Peter and his party behind him also followed. Lilith naturally walked beside Vito and walked in the front with him.
At the end of the procession, Magnus looked at Arthur as he passed by the fields.
The latter also looked at him, looking at the red Cyclops. The tall Magnus stared at Arthur, and his eyes saw the book in his hand. The brown-red book had a sign on the cover.
Written on it is the title of the book, a book that is absolutely banned in the current empire, "On Gods".
Magnus raised his head slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Arthur and nodded to him. After Arthur nodded politely in response, Magnus walked forward and followed Vito into the main trunk.
The direction of the road.
Vito walked into the intersection at the edge of the town. After passing through the vast fields on both sides and the artificially dug irrigation canals flowing in them, Vito walked into the outermost corner of the town. He raised his head and looked at the entrance of the town.
The first building that came into view was a small house made of steel, with a large number of cables and hoses hanging on the outside.
Those densely packed ropes extend from high places, hanging on the walls and extending support poles. Surrounding the building are several electrical towers standing in the open space, with several layers of Teslas on their tops.
The electric circle is connected to countless criss-crossing energy pipelines on the ground.
Vito stood on the street on one side of the building and looked at the densely packed building exterior that looked like a spider web. Peter walked up beside him with a gun on his back. He stood next to Vito and looked at the complex building with him.
building exterior walls.
"What are you talking about, the limited edition with iron wire holes?" Vito asked with a wry smile, while Peter beside him shrugged. He grabbed the hand on the gun belt and adjusted the blaster on his shoulder.
"No, it's an energy relay station. We collect the energy output from the reactor on the Emperor's Dream here, transform it here, and then transport it to various parts of the settlement."
"Relay station? Is the one on the ship unusable? You still have to build a hand-made one like this here. It looks like something from the green leather waggggggge. It won't explode, right?" Vito smiled bitterly and looked at the thing in front of him with his hands on his hips.
At the relay station, patches of lightning flashed on the orange Tesla coils, looking as if they were about to explode at any moment.
"The energy control system on the ship cannot be used. After we started the reactor manually, we found that the energy without automatic adjustment by the system was too large. If used directly, it would explode into a nuclear bomb. So we built this relay station here on the ground to regulate and divert the surging energy.
energy."
Peter said, Vito glanced down at Peter, and then he raised his head and looked at the Emperor Dream in the distance. It was lying in the mountains like a dragon in Eastern mythology, and its existence itself was like this world.
generally.
Vito looked up at the heights of the misty battleship. He looked at the energy tubes hanging from the heights and was silent for a moment. "Is there any trouble on the ship? That's why you are trapped here."
"Yes, Marshal." Peter replied softly, while Vito smiled slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the complex group of electrical towers ahead, "It doesn't matter, I will solve the problem and take you away."
Peter looked at Vito, as if he had heard those words before and would have thought the speaker was a drunk idiot who went to the bar. But when Vito said these words, Peter did not have the slightest doubt. He believed Vito
, believe him without reservation and conditions.
Peter nodded. With his gun on his back, he and Vito looked towards the direction of the electric tower. Between the densely packed electric towers like magnetic storm weapons, streaks of lightning rose into the sky. To be honest, it was a miracle that the power station here did not explode.
, since such a copycat relay station has been used for decades and is still functioning well, Vito can't help but start to think about whether humans also have wagggggggge energy or something.
"Although it looks dangerous, it has indeed been functioning normally for decades, thanks to its builder and commander." "Moral."
Vito said the name that Peter had not yet spoken, and he smiled. At the control station under the densely packed cables at the relay station, there were two Mechanicus priests standing in front of the terminal screen at the end of the spider-like pipe. They were both wearing
The red robe's mechanical arm stretched out from under the red robe and methodically operated the instrument in front of it.
When Vito looked, one of the priests also noticed Vito. He raised the upper half of his face that had not been transformed into a machine, and his iron-gray eyes stared at Vito in shock.
There is a trace of human surprise in the absolutely rational and even cold calculation program.
"Scott-2, you interrupted the operation, why?" The technical priest, who was still burying his head and operating the terminal in front of him, asked. Scott-2 beside him looked surprised and asked.
He spoke in a quiet, odd tone.
"If the Ohm Messiah protects me and my sensory system and memory matching system do not malfunction, I believe there is an 80% chance that it is Marshal Vito Constantine himself."
"100%" Vito smiled and leaned forward. He stood behind Technical Priest Moral, who was burying his head. The latter stood up and turned around, with half of his face still mechanically modified, the left side of his face.
It's still made of flesh and blood, and the right side of his face is still completely transformed into a machine.
Moral looked up at Vito behind him. His mechanical eyes clicked and locked on Vito in front of him. Then he lowered his head and looked at Peter who was following from behind Vito. "Colonel Peter, please help verify my identity."
Calculation results, is the person in front of me Marshal Vito Constantine himself?"
"Yes, Moral, you don't need to calculate to speculate, the marshal is standing in front of you, alive." Peter laughed jokingly, and Vito beside him also smiled and crossed his arms, "Yes, I still
You are so handsome, right? And you are exactly the same as I remember."
"The human body modification part taught by our Machinery can withstand the damage of time, and my appearance can be consistent with your memory data recognition."
"Yes, I can see that."
Vito smiled and looked at Moral in front of him. His appearance had not changed at all. It seemed that the passage of fifty or more years had not had any impact on his mechanical body, his face, voice and habits.
Everything is still exactly the same as in my memory.
Vito took a deep breath, then slowly took it out and looked at the priest in front of him with great joy, "I'm glad to see you again, Moral, bless you, Om Messiah."
"Ohm Messiah also bless you, Marshal. However, my system calculation results show that there is only a 30% chance that we can meet again, so my conclusion is that we will not be able to meet each other in this life."
"Wow, it's good to be wrong once in a while, isn't it?" Vito smiled and held Moral's shoulders. The latter's semi-mechanical face looked up at Vito's face. He was silent for a moment, and his eyes on the mechanical side followed.
It flickered for a moment, but soon the only human part of Moral's mouth revealed a smile.
"I think so, Marshal, Om Messiah bless you."
Vito looked at Moral's smile, and he smiled happily and patted his shoulder gently with his iron fist, "I'm really glad to see you again, my friend."
Vito said and turned around and walked towards the inner side of the town. Peter stood behind Vito with a gun on his back and looked at the marshal's back with a smile. He then turned to look at Moral, "Tell everyone that the marshal is back."
"Understood." Moral nodded and said. After watching Peter follow Vito and leave, he lowered his head slightly. A string of data flashed across his mechanical eyeballs quickly. A string of data that he thought he would never see.
Unused code data.
"The Supreme Marshal has returned to his legion." This sentence quickly spread through the entire Mechanicus network through the torrent of information. In the blink of an eye, the entire settlement knew the news.
Vito walked onto the main road. Everyone under the eaves on both sides of him and walking on the street immediately noticed Vito. All the veterans saw Vito coming. They were stunned for a while at first.
, they looked at the golden armor, as if falling into some kind of nihilistic dream, and when they saw Vito's face, almost out of instinct, everyone stood at attention and saluted him.
"Marshal." In front of Vito, a hunter carrying a sniper rifle on his back and carrying a unique local small game in his other hand raised his arm and saluted Vito without hesitation. He took a few steps back and gave way.
Go aside.
"Soles." Vito smiled and saluted him, and then looked at the veterans standing up from their chairs under the eaves. They were all wearing navy blue uniforms. The three of them immediately jumped up from their chairs and immediately
Stand at attention and salute Vito.
"Mervin, Laval and Stolu, it's a pleasure to see you, really." "We are too, Marshal, it's a pleasure to see you again."
After Vito turned to salute the three of them, he continued to walk along the road in front of him. He did not need to lower his arms at all. All the expedition veterans around him were standing on both sides of the road. They were either alone or in groups of three.
Five groups lined up on both sides, everyone raised their arms and stared intently at the approaching Vito.
Vito came to a bar. Outside the two-story building with corrugated wood, a piece of iron was used to carve the shape of a wine glass. Vito stopped and looked at the several energy hoses plugged into the outer wall with a joking face.
There are also many buildings with cables tied together climbing out of the roof.
The double doors of the bar were immediately pushed open, and the veterans who heard the commotion and shouting rushed out of the bar. They all held guns, as if they thought they were being attacked, but when they saw standing on the street outside the door,
When Vito looked at him with a smile on his face, everyone lowered their guns in stunned silence.
"Marshal? I'm not drunk, am I?" the veteran who took the lead and rushed out with an energy pistol in his hand and a mustache said in surprise. His accent was weird and high-pitched, which sounded funny and fun.
Vito watched with a smile as he looked up at the bar behind him and saw the wall of drinks in various glasses. "I don't think you have it, Ezio, it seems like you have mastered your moonshine skills."
, it can finally be carried forward openly and openly.”
Vito spoke in that unique ancient Terran Latin accent, and Ezio understood immediately. He was not drunk. He still hadn't heard this familiar accent in many years, and in this galaxy, there was only one
A person can speak with this accent.
"Mamma Mia! The Emperor!" Ezio said, immediately putting the pistol in his holster, and then slapped down the hand of a young man holding the gun next to him, and he waved himself
He gestured and shouted to the veterans and young people around him.
"Put down your guns! It's the marshal!" Ezio said, immediately kicking his legs and standing at attention under the eaves of the bar to salute and look at Vito. All the soldiers around him, big and small, stood at attention and saluted at the same time.
"Lieutenant Ezio Florence reports to you, Marshal." "Hello, Ezio, it seems that the moonshine water you were chased by the law enforcement team and ran all over the ship is now legal, and you can hang it out openly.
"
Vito said, pointing to the wine shelf behind Ezio, who laughed, and the mustache on his mouth twitched, "Yes, I spent a lot of time convincing the law enforcement officer Oleg
