Chapter 375 Alien Battlefield (4) Priest

Chapter 375 Alien Battlefield (4) Priest

It is a few kilometers away from Yixiantian Canyon.

Several carriages pulled by four creatures of a completely different species from horses were gradually approaching the location of the Yixiantian Canyon. The carriages had no drivers. These creatures that replaced the horses seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Their steps were precise and their speed was even. Under the influence of these factors, the carriages were running very smoothly, just like a programmed machine.

In the middle of the convoy, there is a carriage that looks exactly like the local creations, but its interior is completely Earth-style. Not only that, there is a very conspicuous logo on the ceiling of the carriage. This logo looks very familiar, but also very strange. It looks like a combination of parts of several different emblems, reconstructed.

All the carriages and passengers in the convoy had nothing to do with the original inhabitants of this planet. Although they were riding in relatively backward vehicles, their weapons and equipment were all modern equipment, from power armor to various particle weapons, advanced unmanned attack systems, and other high-tech gadgets. No matter where they came from, they were definitely not the original residents of this planet.

"How long until we arrive?"

"At our current speed of movement, it will probably take about an hour."

"Did the surrounding scout teams make any special discoveries?"

"Yes, there are a lot of signs of destruction in the woods on the west side. From the residual energy reaction and the survey of the scene by the scout team, it seems that a fierce battle broke out there. According to the on-site data sent back by the scout team, it seems that several air units were chasing something. From the footprints found at the scene and the traces left on some plants that were not completely destroyed, it seems that there were two people."

There were five people sitting in the middle carriage. The two who were talking were the commander of the armed forces of the entire convoy and his adjutant. The remaining three people were two of the commander's confidants who were in charge of the escort work.

And the last outsider.

"Father, what do you think?"

"Opinion? I don't have any opinion. I'm just a chaplain accompanying the team, responsible for your medical care. I can only be considered half combat power. I will follow your orders in all my actions."

"That's fine. But even so, when it's time to fight, don't be soft-hearted."

"Sorry, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. It's okay."

The adjutant seemed to have received some news. He used his authority to stop the convoy, and then glanced at the outsider called the priest.

"Understood. I'll go down and get some fresh air."

The priest consciously opened the door and left the car. After getting off, he politely closed the door. He walked to a stone on the side of the road and sat down, then really began to sightsee the surrounding scenery. Although it was late at night, this planet had not yet been baptized by industrialization, so the sky was very clear and there was no pollution, so you could see the stars in the sky. Some of the glowing alien plants around swayed gently with the breeze. If you shield the existence of the convoy, this is indeed a very good place for camping.

"Father."

"What is it, Commander?"

The door was opened from the inside, and the commander got out of the carriage and came to the priest.

"The last carriage in the convoy is now yours. Return to the base camp immediately. Then teleport away with the wounded and return to the base."

"But I was assigned to be in charge of your medical care..."

"I have already passed the message to the headquarters. I hope you will leave immediately. Of course, this is not directed at you. This is..."

"I understand. It's a secret, so I won't say any more. Which carriage is mine? Is it the last one in our team or the last one in the team behind us?"

"It's all right. You are very sensible, Father. Perhaps I can make an exception and let you wander around the safe area for a while. I understand that you seem to like painting more."

"Thank you very much, I will leave now."

"Thank you for your understanding. After the operation is over, I will submit your work evaluation to the court. As long as you maintain your current attitude, I believe that this evaluation will help you make further progress."

"Thank you very much."

"Father."

"commander."

The commander nodded slightly, and the priest also returned the greeting appropriately, then walked directly to the end of the convoy. After a brief negotiation with the people in the last carriage, the armed forces on the original carriage changed to another carriage, and the priest boarded the original carriage alone. He was also very considerate and drove this carriage to the side of the road to avoid blocking the normal driving of the other convoy behind.

In the commander's carriage.

"Is he in the car?"

"Yes, and he took the initiative to pull the carriage to the side of the road, without blocking the convoy behind."

"You are very sensible. Good. Let's go. We can't delay too long."

The convoy soon started moving again, heading steadily towards the direction of the Yixiantian Canyon, and the priest stayed in the carriage until the convoy passed by, and then stayed there until the second convoy arrived. He talked with the person in charge of the second convoy and waited until the second convoy left before returning to the road. He returned slowly along the original route.

"Ouch~~"

Not long after they had gone, an animal cry suddenly sounded outside the stable carriage, which sounded like a predator. However, the priest not only did not speed up the carriage, but slowed down and even opened the door. Not long after, a shadow jumped onto the carriage and closed the door. After the shadow entered the carriage, the priest immediately changed the route, drove the carriage off the road, and accelerated in another direction. That location was neither their base camp nor the Yixiantian Canyon, but the direction of the aboriginal city where Han Zu had helped repair the city wall.

"How's it going?"

"The target the Sentinels are chasing is indeed carrying the contractor's equipment. They have now fled into the Yixiantian Canyon. According to intelligence, the Sentinels in the canyon are currently fighting the target. Based on the analysis of the battle situation on the scene, the Sentinels should not be able to annihilate the target. Moreover, without the spatial advantage, the Sentinels are likely to be destroyed by the target."

"How is the intelligence gathering in the city going? Did the target pursue the natives after helping them resolve the battle?"

"No, he stayed to help the natives repair the city wall."

"Repairing the city... Oh, so that's how it is. He must have used the contractor's equipment to understand the operating mechanism of the planet-wiping equipment left by the contractor on the satellite. Then he deduced that the hostile forces might also have similar equipment. Smart guy."

"What's the news about the original creators of the Sentinels?"

"We can't find it. We don't have any clues, and there was a problem with the cracking of their planet-wiping device. We can't crack the underlying protocol. But we did crack the protocol for shutting down the device. I suggest that we cut the device into modular pieces, and then use our technology and the contractor's technology that we cracked to restore the missing parts. Although this will reduce the power of the device by 30%, it can ensure the stable operation of the device."

"I am increasingly interested in the identities of these guys. I originally thought that the contractors were the most powerful race we have ever seen, but I didn't expect their opponents to be even more mysterious than them."

"You are right. With our technology, the only things we can completely decipher and use successfully are these Sentinels."

"Don't worry. The last thing we lack is time. Let's proceed with the cracking process first. If there is really no progress, we can do modular cutting according to your method."

"Yes. What is the target that the sentinels are tracking?"

"Continue with the original plan. The contractor must want to use them to regain control of that place. Anyone who can catch the contractor's eye must not be a simple character. Annihilating them is still the first choice. Of course, if those sentinels can't complete the work, we will collect as much information as possible about the target. We always have a chance. Don't worry too much about the gains and losses of one time, remember?"

"clear."

"Go ahead and fake my death. I prefer the idea that the base camp was raided and most of the people were killed."

The shadow nodded, opened the door, quickly left the carriage, and disappeared into the night.

After a while, around early morning time.

The city gate had just been opened, and the priest drove the carriage smoothly to the entrance of the gate and was inspected by the soldiers.

"Ah! Father, what goods have you brought us this time?"

"I will definitely not let you down, Leier. I brought some recipes with me. You know, I just heard that you encountered a battle. At this time, you need some delicious food to calm your mood and comfort the wounded."

"Thank you for your kindness, Father, but we can't waste too much food now, after all..."

"Don't worry, my people brought a lot of food, but their carriages are slow because they are full of food. It may take two days for them to arrive."

"Really?! Thank you so much! I will report to the city lord immediately!"

"No need, Leier. I was just about to go look for him. He asked me to find some herbs before, and I just happened to have some."

The priest seemed to be very popular in this city, and had a good relationship with the natives. He was even proficient in their language. He used it very fluently. The guards at the city gate originally just wanted to check the carriage for show, but it was only at the strong request of the man called the priest that they conducted a detailed search of the carriage. But even so, he quickly entered the city.

"It's the priest! The man in the carriage is him!"

"I saw it too!"

"Father!"

Many people in the city seemed to know this priest and liked him very much. Even though it was early morning, most of the people working outside were soldiers and some ordinary residents who helped them repair the city walls and transport supplies, but they still surrounded the priest's carriage and greeted him enthusiastically. As time went by, more and more people surrounded the carriage, making it difficult for the carriage to move. The priest had no choice but to leave the carriage, responding to the crowd's call while persuading everyone not to block the road and hinder the soldiers' work. Even in the team surrounding him, there were quite a few soldiers.

"Friends! Friends! Stop gathering on the road! This will delay the soldiers' patrols and work. I still have things to discuss with the city lord, but I promise you, I will help you when I get out! Marcus! Move the wounded who are difficult to treat to the trade hall first! I will help treat them when I come back!"

"it is good!"

After a long time, the crowd was reluctant to disperse. A team of elite guards passed through the streets and the crowd and came to the priest.

"gentlemen?"

"Ah, sorry, Stephanie, I'll go meet the mayor right now."

"It's alright, Mr. Priest. But let's not go to the City Lord's Mansion. Let's go to the barracks first. The City Lord has been there since the battle ended yesterday and the ceremony was held."

"Did something go wrong with the ceremony? Or did something go wrong in the barracks? Was he seriously injured? Take me to the barracks!"

"Don't get excited, Mr. Priest. There is no problem. It's just that the city lord found a... I don't know what to say. You should go and take a look yourself. This is also what the city lord asked."

"go!"

It seems that the priest is not only deeply loved here, but also seems to have a high status. Almost everyone treats him with great respect.

Moreover, he was very familiar with the facilities in various locations in the city. He could even find a secret place like the barracks without the help of guards. However, one thing was very strange. No one knew the name of the priest. In addition, there was no religion in this world, so they did not know that the priest was an identity. Everyone thought that the priest was the name of this person. And he did not expose this at all.

The priest followed the guards and hurried to the barracks. Entering a secret room deep in the barracks, he saw the city lord standing in front of an object emitting strange light, thinking. After the two met, they first talked about the previous battle, and then after talking about other things, they began to talk about this unique object.

"Father, you are here. This thing inexplicably appeared after the last battle. I feel that it contains huge energy, but I don't know its purpose."

"Let me take a look..."

Walking to the table where the object was, the priest saw a broken piece of metal. Through his own means, the priest was able to know that this piece of debris was a piece of unmanned exploration aircraft, but its source was very suspicious, because it did not belong to the contractor, nor to the mysterious race, nor to the armed forces in the two convoys just now. It was certainly not his own force. There were originally three forces, or even four forces including the mysterious race, and other forces appeared. This news was not optimistic.

“How did this thing appear?”

"During yesterday's battle, when the male giant was using the light from his eyes to destroy the enemy, he swept a certain position in the sky. At that time, some bright light burst out, but the battlefield was in chaos and no one paid attention. When we were cleaning up the battlefield, we found this thing. It was very strong and we couldn't destroy it."

"Did the giant shoot this thing down on purpose?"

"Shoot it down? This thing can fly? Have you seen this thing? That's not the case. The giant's attack just happened to hit this location. It didn't lock onto the location before attacking."

"I've seen something similar, but I'm not sure if this is what I think it is. Are there any other parts left?"

"I'm not sure, but when we were cleaning up the battlefield, we did find a lot of things that had never appeared before. These things are still there, in the storage room of the barracks."

"I want to see it."

"No problem, I'll have someone move all those things over right away."

Just as the city lord ordered people to move the things, the two took this opportunity to talk to each other. The city lord was very curious about these things that suddenly appeared. Similarly, the priest also had a bad feeling about this matter. So after a short chat, the priest began to ask if anyone had witnessed the situation before these things were shot down. According to the city lord's recollection, it seemed that several wizards had said that they had seen some flying things in the sky at that time. So at the request of the priest, the city lord immediately ordered to call them in to ask about the specific situation.

"Something happened, Lord City Lord! Mr. Priest!"

"What's wrong? Don't panic, speak slowly."

"Those mages you asked me to find are all dead!"

"Dead? How did he die?"

"The situation is still unclear. I just had people cordon off the scene, but judging from my observation, someone shot him in the head from a distance."

"Lord City Lord, I think we should go to the scene and take a look. Maybe I can help."

"Okay, let's go to the scene!"
