Chapter 950 - 565: Divine [Emperor], the Effect of Steel Bones Breakthrough_2
Chen Feng nodded lightly, finally deciding to continue with his original plan.
No matter why the [Emperor] intended to show goodwill towards him, he still needed to gather resources as quickly as possible.
Immediately, during a simple final conversation.
He formally established a cooperative relationship with the fortress, agreeing to temporarily stay here to help defend [Fortress No.7].
Once the discussion ended, the alloy gate commanding the fortress opened once again.
Chen Feng stepped out of the fortress without being hindered, and there was even someone specially assigned to lead him, arranging accommodation.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed, gradually fading away.
When the alloy gate closed again, all the senior leaders repeatedly looked at Xu Lishan, inquiring about their individual doubts and curiosity.
....
"Master?"
"Was the one just now Divine?"
On the way out, Pandor followed behind Chen Feng, curiously asked.
The High Wall Alliance had birthed Martial Arts and Transcendents, even commanding these Angel Level experts to battle the Black Tide.
Because of this, he naturally sensed how majestic and transcendental the [Emperor]’s presence was.
"Hmm."
Chen Feng nodded, affirming the other’s guess.
As he stepped forward, a person named Noel, an Imperial Rear Admiral, led the way, along with a team of Transformed People escorting him.
Turning his head to look around, they were currently on a platform of the fortress’s high wall.
One side was adjacent to the battlefield, the gray-black wall had many fixed giant cannons, occasionally flickering with sizzling arcs, ready to shoot energy beams at any moment.
The other side was the city protected by the fortress.
Perhaps because it was close to the battlefield, the architectural style leaned towards war and military.
Either metal fortress-like or gray-black sentry-like, the flat and wide hardened roads seemed like straight lines, separating the clusters of buildings into one square area after another.
"This is the southernmost part of our Empire, known as Nanyan City."
"Because it’s near the fortress, with perennial warfare, most people here are either soldier families or reserve members of the military."
Named Noel, the Imperial Rear Admiral was a middle-aged man in his forties, perhaps realizing Chen Feng’s gaze, he smoothly started to introduce the fortress city, sparing the way from strangeness and silence.
Nodding gently, Chen Feng, amid his words, looked towards the interior of the city.
The steel-like block buildings appeared somewhat solemn, the passing figures on the street were few, only Imperial soldiers were patrolling warily.
Most families and residents were anxiously hiding indoors, clearly shocked by the previous war.
"There, is that the [Imperial Heart]?"
Chen Feng suddenly asked, looking towards a critical area close to the fortress.
There were several teams of Transformed People patrolling vigilantly, sealing off the block.
A wreckage of a fallen warship from Taiduo Country smashed more than a dozen steel buildings, even now there were sparks burning.
And near the wreckage, a blue light shield over a kilometer long could be seen solidly blooming.
Within it, the transmission device had collapsed and broken down, leaving only chunks of metal blocks more than a few meters scattered and shattered, chaotically scattered.
The surrounding ground was charred black, full of explosion marks, a massive hundred-meter deep pit like a blood hole in the city, deeply etched on the ground.
"This.... Alas, indeed."
Not denying, Noel paused in his steps, sighing aloud.
His eyes fluctuated, a spark of indignation flashed as he explained the sudden raid launched by Taiduo Country’s warship.
[High-dimensional Transmission] was forcibly interrupted, the Imperial Warriors standing guard nearby were all swallowed by the explosion.
Looking over now, an Imperial team wearing protective suits entered inside, clearing out many soldier corpses from the charred ruins and explosion pits.
White cloths wrapped them, with floating devices descending, participating in the transport.
The scars left by war were thus embedded in the fortress city; Chen Feng roughly understood where the conflict between these two civilized nations stemmed from.
A thought flashed by, he smoothly glanced at the high sky.
The azure sky seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he still noticed the fortress light shield extending layer by layer, reaching out all the way to the sky.
"This is the [Iron Curtain]."
"Our former creation, capable of isolating spatial fluctuations, blocking sudden transmission invasion, originally researched to resist the sudden arrival of the Black Tide."
Star Spirit voiced out once more in his mind, seemingly somewhat nostalgic.
These crystallizations of civilization inherited from Ancient Tado, technological creations, were so familiar, always easy to remind her of the past, raising a kind of complex feeling of the ups and downs of affairs.
"However... it seems Taiduo Country found some flaw."
"Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to cross the [Iron Curtain]’s blockade and successfully launch a surprise attack."
Suppressing complicated emotions, Star Spirit shook her head, somewhat sighing, the later civilization also had its strengths.
Hearing these words, Chen Feng withdrew his gaze, finally being led to the fortress’s rear-city area, a gray-black elliptical house shaped like a fortress.
"This area is the logistics district of the fortress."
"Due to concerns about Taiduo Country’s cyber invasion, electronic products are scarce here, so please understand."
"If you need anything, feel free to instruct them, or contact me and General Xu."
Leading the team, Noel pointed at a team of Transformed People behind him, indicating they would stay as guards, standing at the door.
Without revealing their intention, Chen Feng knew that the fortress’s upper echelon still had some vigilance, intending to shadow him and avoid accidents.
"Alright."
Saying no more, Chen Feng then took Pandor and entered the room.
The sturdy door closed slowly, isolating the sights inside and outside.
The room’s decor was quite simple, gray cement walls and steel-crafted flooring.
The entire house had only one floor, two rooms opposite each other, with a spacious living room in the middle.
Sofa and television were all complete, along with several metal tables and chairs, but overall looked somewhat old.
"Just stay nearby, don’t cause trouble."
Casually instructing Pandor, Chen Feng walked into a bedroom.
The metallic hard bed had a layer of bedding on it, he expanded his perception, confirming there were no monitoring devices.
"It seems they are still sensible."
Star Spirit likewise performed an electromagnetic scan, double-checked, and said with a smile.
Although the fortress’s upper echelon had some vigilance, they still maintained the final principle and respect.
"Speaking of which, it’s not possible for Ancient Empire and Taiduo Country to simply inherit our transmission technology."
"I need to look into it again, see if the [Golden Sun] might be in this world."
Immediately, during a brief communication.
She quickly vanished and dispersed, preparing for this matter.
The room then became somewhat quiet; Chen Feng stood by the window, taking one last look at the outside.
On the broad gray streets, Imperial Warriors were still patrolling.
And at the same time.
The panel appeared, he finally had time to review his previous gains.
[Steel Bone LV7→LV8!]
[Steel Bone LV8: 11/100]
[Heart of Glory upgrade successful!]
[....]
Chains of information surfaced one after another, all from the previous fortress battle.
Domain-level Mecha and those destroyed High Sky Battleships provided him with a considerable amount of metal nutrients.
Including Seric’s Infinite-level Mecha, as he broke the light shield barrier, successfully plundered a fragment of Super Metal Essence.
"Infinite-level Mecha is indeed unlike any other, its sturdiness is not inferior to my current physique."
"Moreover, Steel Bone unexpectedly couldn’t completely destroy it."
Thoughts flashed, Chen Feng recalled the situation at that time.
Originally, it could have been a punch that blasted the Mecha; however, in the end, it encountered some special energy blockade, dissipating much of the impact.
"Perhaps that was the [Infinite Core] mentioned by Star Spirit."
Vaguely having some guesses, Chen Feng began to sense the transformation of Steel Bone upgrade.
Hardness soared, already completely beyond the realm of Rainbow Iron.
With full activation, it could extend a thousand meters, transforming into a golden sword with a speed surpassing sound explosions.
Or control it distractedly, forming an endless barrage of sky-filling arrows, bursting with piercing combo attacks as he pleased.
If used for defense, narrowing its range, compressing the bones.
It could also become more dense, a stronger defensive humanoid armor.
Meanwhile
"Not just that."
Attentively experiencing, Chen Feng discovered a crucial point.
The physique amplification of Steel Bone, permanent enhancement effect.
It seemed to have enhanced by another section?
