The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Ask more about the holy tower." Leo felt that this so-called holy tower might be the origin beacon that Mimidor said, so he told Sylvia to try to get it from the envoy of the tribe in the central region. More related information.

After hearing this, Sylvia followed Leo's request and began to ask the tribal envoy in the central area in front of him about the holy tower and the god-man.

It's a pity that this tribe in the central region doesn't know much about the holy tower, he doesn't even know the situation of the three major city-states very well. He only saw it in a distant place when he participated in a certain celebration. Flying Valkyrie.

According to the other party's description, the three major city-states are surrounded by high walls and completely isolated from the city-state tribes in the central area. The gates of the city-states are only opened during celebrations, so people outside basically cannot know what is happening inside the three major city-states. Even if they were sent to the three major city-states to do groceries during the celebration, some relevant memories must be erased when they leave to avoid leaking the real situation of the three major city-states.

Almost like the isolation between the three major city-states and the tribes of the central city-state, the isolation between the holy tower located in the center of the cracked plain and the three major city-states is also very strict. The situation of the tower, not to mention the people of the city-state tribes in the central zone.

Leo was quite disappointed that he didn't get the news he wanted the most, but he wasn't disappointed too much. After all, he already knew the situation of the city-state tribes in the central region, and knew that there was nothing that could pose a threat there, so the timing When the time is right, he can set off for a walk without too many worries.

However, the godman and Valkyrie of the holy tower are a bit mysterious, so he decided to let the tribal army secretly controlled by Sylvia lead the battle, and at the same time help Sylvia improve the power of the original god hunter.

Since coming to this world of Vanaheim, Sylvia has been actively exploring and improving her god-hunting power, but it has always been half the effort with little effect.

But this situation changed after she passively became the chief of the Thresh Tribe. She found that her strength during this period of time was much faster than in the past, and as she began to participate in the Crack Plain Tribe. After a war game, the power of the god hunter in her body has been continuously enhanced, and at the same time, it has continuously produced various practical and powerful abilities. For example, now she can easily and perfectly control a person from the spiritual level , is a kind of new ability.

Moreover, Sylvia also clearly felt that with the outbreak of tribal wars, the power of the god hunters has also increased significantly. It is no exaggeration to say that in just a few days, they have already increased several times. At different levels, her understanding of this power is getting deeper and deeper.

It's just that the more power of the god hunter she can master, the more she feels that the power of the god hunter she can use now is not the essence of this power, it should be just the shell of this power, and the core source of power has not yet been revealed. revealed.

And she is almost sure that this power may be related to the war, because her mastery and improvement of the power of the god hunter will continue to change with the progress of the tribal war. When the war broke out at the beginning, the speed of improvement was the fastest, almost every day. There is a big step improvement, but when Taruru's overall strength has the absolute upper hand, the power increase speed will drop precipitously, and when the tribal envoys in the central area secretly contact other peripheral plain tribes participating in tribal wars, let them When the coalition against Taruru was formed, the gap in strength between the two sides began to decrease, and the speed at which her strength improved accelerated again.

Sylvia also told Leo about this situation, and Leo's analysis is that the speed of the god hunter's power increase may not only be related to the war, but more likely to be related to the chaos caused by the war, because only when Evenly matched, continuous fighting, and turbulent situations, the speed of the god hunter's strength improvement is the fastest.

Sylvia also agreed with Leo's analysis, and she had to change her original plan for this. Originally, she was going to let Taluru win the tribal war quickly, and then use the status of the victor of the tribal war, Enter the tribe in the central region with a reasonable and legal identity, and then further explore the situation there.

But now, she has changed her mind. After Taruru wins the final victory of the tribal war, she plans to stand directly from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and use various means to control all the tribes in the outer plains who participated in the tribal war and those who did not participate in the tribal war, and integrate the outer plains. All the tribes formed a country, and then directly attacked the city-state tribes in the central region in the name of the country, allowing the war to spread to the entire cracked plain.

In the following period of time, the development of the tribal war in the cracked plain was developing according to Sylvia and Leo's expectations. The strength of the Taluru tribe, which possessed legendary fighters, had an absolute advantage among the tribes on the outskirts of the plain. The frontal battlefield can be said to be The momentum is so overwhelming that almost no tribe can contend with it head-on.

On the other side, although the tribal coalition forces are superior in number, their internal management and governance are very chaotic. The various differences and hostility that were forcibly suppressed by the tribal envoys in the central area before have now erupted again due to the disappearance of the envoys. Especially after losing several battles in a row and losing tens of thousands of people, all the negative emotions burst out, blaming each other, conflicting and attacking, and there is no need for Taruru's army to attack. disbanded due to infighting.

Anyone with a little IQ knows that the final winner of this tribal war must be Taruru. Everyone is shocked by the huge disparity in the outcome of this tribal war and the short time they have experienced, but they are also curious about the central area. How would the tribe feel about this.

However, the reaction of the tribes in the central region has not yet appeared, but another incident has caused this tribal war to completely fall out of control.

According to the rules of every tribal war in the past, as long as one of the chiefs or priests of the surrendered tribes is alive, the tribes can regain their freedom by paying ransom, return to their own residences, and continue the tribe. Life.

However, this time, Taruru did not follow the rules at all. All the tribes that surrendered were scattered by him, and they were assigned to other peripheral tribes that did not participate in the tribal war. These tribes that surrendered were completely swallowed up. The tribes in the outermost plains of the spectators have unified into a complete tribe at this moment, not only the tribal totems and flags have been replaced with a unified one, even the costumes are also unified.

At this time, careful people also found that including Taruru, among the tribes in the outer plains who participated in the tribal war, many tribes all changed into uniform flags and costumes. It is developing with the trend of unifying a large tribe.

Such an obvious big move naturally attracted the attention of the city-state tribes in the central region. They were also completely confused by this situation and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

For such a long time in the past, tribal wars were launched and ended according to the established rules, and there was never a mistake, and naturally there was no way to deal with the mistake.

Someone proposed to form an army immediately and go to the outer plains to prevent the tribes in the outer plains from unifying, but this proposal was rejected immediately, because if they did so, it would undoubtedly be regarded as breaking the rules of tribal warfare, and the consequence of breaking the rules would be that they would be killed by the Holy Tower. Punishment, and there is only one punishment method for the Holy Tower, which is to destroy the tribes that break the rules.

Some people also said that the current situation in the outer plains is also breaking the rules, and they can directly ask the Holy Tower to punish the tribes in the outer plains, but this proposal is also considered impossible, because when they sorted out the rules of the tribal war, they found that the outer plains The unification of the tribes into one tribe in the war did not break the rules of war, so the Holy Tower would not take any punitive actions at all.

There are also people who proposed to summon legendary fighters immediately to form a special assassination team to assassinate those tribal chiefs who unified the banner. This proposal was equally divided between those who agreed and those who opposed it, because they had already sent a group of more than a dozen legendary fighters before. There was an envoy group specially designed to target Taruru, but it turned out that this envoy group only formed an alliance with some peripheral tribes, and then disappeared without any news. The same as if the crack was swallowed, it is possible to continue to send an assassination team now, just like the previous messenger team.

At this time, a tribe connected with the outer plain tribe mentioned a detail, that is, there are a surprising number of legendary warriors in Taruru's tribe.

Although that tribe only provided such news, this news aroused suspicion among the city-state tribes in the central region. As we all know, only the city-state tribes in the central region can send a large number of legendary fighters. Although the tribes in the outer plains also have legendary fighters , but the number must be scarce, and now there are a large number of legendary warriors under Taruru's command, so it seems to them that there must be city-state tribes in the central region secretly supporting Taruru, which means that there are traitors among them.

All of a sudden, the unification of the tribes of the outer plains was now a secondary matter, and the identification of traitors among the tribes of the city-states in the central zone gradually became the core of the discussion.

Due to various reasons, the abnormal unification of the peripheral tribes has not been discussed among the central city-state tribes, but there is one point of consensus among those who participated in the discussion, that is, the tribes in the outer plains may have become The future troubles, once unified into a tribe, will inevitably march to the central region, and a war will inevitably break out in the future.

Although these city-state tribes in the central region didn't think they would lose the war, they were unwilling to spend too much resources on the war, so they decided to use another method to weaken the strength of the outer plain tribes.

This method is very simple, that is, let go of the recruitment and invitation of the outer plain tribes, and guide all the outer plain tribes that have not yet been conquered and unified to the central belt, so that the strength of the outer plain tribes will no longer increase. .

At the same time, they can also reorganize these recruited outlying plain tribes into an army, and serve as cannon fodder for their official coalition forces when they go to war in the future.

It has to be said that this approach of the city-state tribes in the central zone is very effective. Not only the peripheral plain tribes that have not been conquered have begun to move to the central zone, but even some tribes that have been conquered have become ready to move. After all, in these In the daily propaganda of the tribe, the life of the tribe in the central zone can only be described as perfect, with endless food, no need to worry about danger, no labor, etc.

The behavior of the city-state tribes in the central area to deliberately block the outer plain tribes had to be said to have achieved good results beyond their expectations. After a large number of outer plain tribes moved to the central area, it not only restricted the population increase of the outer plain tribes that were being unified, A large blank buffer zone was formed in the outer plain and the central area.

The land of the Crack Plain is full of various cracks, large and small, so the terrain here is very complicated. There are a lot of dead ends, labyrinth traps, and even some poisonous gas swamps and monster habitats in those bottomless cracks. Wait, except for the public areas that have been explored by countless people and some large cracks where the terrain is relatively easy to walk, the topography and landforms of other places are only known to the tribes living nearby.

In the past, because a large number of tribes were either conquered or voluntarily surrendered, the topography and geomorphology data of the areas where these tribes were located were also gathered together, so that this area was controlled by the peripheral plain tribes who were unifying, but now a large number of peripheral plains The tribes abandoned their settlements and moved directly to the central region, which made the area where these tribal settlements are located a blank space, and it took a lot of time to re-explore before they could master this area, even if they marched to the central region later, It is also necessary to master the actual conditions of these areas in order to be able to walk safely.

In this way, when the last tribe in the outer plain left the station and entered the central area, the tribal war ended early, and all the tribes in the outer plain were unified under one banner, and the pace of expansion of this unified tribe was also due to the unfamiliar terrain. Because of this, I had to stop. A huge blank buffer zone was erected between the central zone and the outer plain. Before the topography of this buffer zone was figured out, the great war would probably not start yet, and the cracked plain was also trapped. There was an eerie calm.

However, the calm state of the cracked plain was soon broken, because a behemoth came to the edge of the cracked plain. The arrival of this behemoth not only attracted the attention of the tribes in the outer plains, but even the city-state tribes in the central area immediately dispatched Without manpower, even the three major city-states are sending people to the plains at this moment.
