Chapter 571 Holy Lord
Chapter 571 Holy Lord
Facing the proactive show of goodwill from Dragon General Lelia, Lu Yun nodded slightly and glanced away into the distance.
On the ground, a team of mecha soldiers were driving a transport truck quickly.
"That is……"
Ophelia glanced at it in surprise.
The person tied up in the back of the car was none other than the Dragon Feast Priest of the Secret Order, Ada Lomi, who had escaped earlier.
She was thinking of mobilizing people to find the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party would be discovered first.
At this moment, Aidalomi was in a far more miserable state than when he was escaping.
He was hanging on with only one breath left.
A soldier was giving her an injection to maintain her vital signs.
"Sir."
The convoy stopped.
A lieutenant got out of the car, looked at the three mechas in the sky with awe, and reported loudly, "We found her seriously injured on the edge of the battlefield. We thought she might be of use to you, sir, so we brought her here."
Aidalomi remained fused with the Bone-Eroding Dragon, lying on the carriage, weakly looking at the three mechas present.
"Well done, she's really been of great use to us."
Ophelia nodded approvingly, landed in front of Aidalomi, and asked, "Tell me, why are you hiding here? What is your purpose?"
"Pooh."
Aidalomi spat and said with all his strength, "My loyalty to the Order is unquestionable!"
"Give up, I won't reveal a single word."
"But he's from the Federation Adeptus Mechanicus, not your Adeptus Confraternus. Are you sure you want to experience Imperial interrogation techniques for this dead man?"
"That wouldn't be a pleasant experience."
Lelia spoke lightly from the side.
"To torture a dying man, are all the empire's executioners such hypocritical ones?"
"As long as you have breath left, the Empire has ten thousand ways to restore you to health so that you can face torture with full spirits."
Lelia's words also revealed another meaning: if you don't say it, you will be forced to die.
Adalomi understood and his expression turned horrified.
After hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke: "I was only sent here to be his guide because I know the empire better."
"He hid here to absorb the energy of the Zerg. He wanted to use the Zerg's life energy to break the limitations of life. Before coming here, he had already absorbed the power of three Zergs. This is the last one."
"But since he lost, it means that the last step must have been interrupted by you."
Aidalomi glanced at the leader's body with a look of either mockery or disgust.
"Using the life energy of the Zerg to break the life limit, where did he get this method?" Lelia asked in surprise.
"I don't know. He just vowed that if he succeeded, his mecha would be able to break through to a whole new level."
Aidalomi also had only a vague understanding of this.
Lu Yun said: "What he wants to absorb is not the Zerg's life energy, but the void energy within the Zerg's body."
Several people looked at him.
"This is a secret technique of the ancestral temple."
Lu Yun didn't explain too much.
Because this involves the principles of practice in the Holy Temple, it is too complicated and troublesome to explain.
Ophelia and Lelia nodded in understanding and did not ask any further questions.
"Then what should we do with this guy now?" Ophelia looked at Aidalomi and asked.
Lelia looked at Lu Yun.
"The cooperation between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Secret Order shouldn't be limited to this extent. Otherwise, they wouldn't send a Dragon Priest to lead the way. She must have more important information. Find a way to pry it out."
Lu Yun's words were almost a death sentence for Aidalomi.
Idalomi's already pale face was distorted and twitching with fear.
"If you want to suffer less, just tell the truth. If your information is valuable, the Empire may show you mercy." Lelia said lightly, controlling the "Prison" to fly up and grab Aidalomi.
Then, she looked at Lu Yun and nodded: "The capital still needs someone to take charge, so I will go back first."
After saying this, she soared into the sky with the struggling Aidalomi.
Only two mechas, Jiyang Tianshen and Haotian, were left on the field.
Be quiet for a moment.
Ophelia spoke softly:
"I haven't had time to ask why you suddenly appeared here."
Lu Yun smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he reminded, "Let's leave here first. If we stay any longer, we'll probably be surrounded by the people."
Several nearby streets in the city below were already congested.
If we stay any longer, I'm afraid everyone in the city will gather here.
In the cab, Ophelia subconsciously hooked the hair hanging in front of her eyes and tucked it behind her ear.
Then he realized that there was a mecha blocking his view and Lu Yun couldn't see it.
Taking a deep breath, she nodded calmly, "That makes sense."
"The transport ship is parked right up there, let's go."
……
Some secret place.
In the valley shrouded in thick fog, rhythmic, low breathing sounds echoed in the valley like thunder.
On the bluestone path outside the valley, a woman in shaman costume slowly came to the entrance of the valley and stopped.
"Holy Lord."
The woman prostrated herself respectfully on the ground and said, "The leader of the Mechanicus has failed, and Idalomi has been captured by the Empire."
"I'm afraid she can't withstand the Empire's mental interrogation. Does she need to be relocated?"
Thick fog rolled in the valley and the panting stopped.
Immediately afterwards, two dim yellow eyes opened in the valley and slowly rose up, and an extremely huge outline was vaguely revealed in the white mist.
“Failure is inevitable.”
As if someone had just woken up, a drowsy voice came from the valley.
"What valuable things can a bunch of annoying bugs provide?"
"But the 'Original Energy' he brought is a good thing. How much is left?"
The woman in shaman attire replied respectfully, "There are three pieces left, all guarded by members of the church. After the news of their leader's death reached them, the priest seemed to want to take the items and leave."
"Gluck cluck~"
As if something funny was heard, a burst of clear laughter came from the valley.
"Do they think I'm a youth hostel where I can come and go as I please?"
"Now that the leader is dead, it's a waste of food to keep these useless people. Let's seize the 'Original Energy' and throw those people from the church to feed the young dragons."
The shaman woman smiled and said, "They have all undergone a complete transformation of their bodies. They are all made of metal. I'm afraid the young dragon can't chew it."
"Then grind it up."
The sound in the valley turned lazy, and the eyes that had been raised fell down again and closed.
"Come back to me after you obtain the 'Original Energy Essence'. It's time for my secret order to open a new chapter."
The shaman woman straightened up in surprise and asked excitedly, "Holy Lord, you, you have reached that level?"
"I guess so. What that old fellow did is of some value to us. It's a waste to use a cosmic wonder like 'Original Energy Matter' on a bug."
"Okay, don't disturb my sleep, go get busy."
"Yes."
The woman in shaman costume bowed again, then stood up and walked away backwards.
