Chapter 712
712 Abaddon’s discovery
Within the mechanical fortress.
Abaddon looked out of the porthole at the boundless universe, and suddenly felt like he was locked in an iron cage.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, but Abaddon felt like he was being watched.
If he hadn’t abandoned the imprint core, he would have been able to sense the surrounding aura more clearly. However, his strength was only at the level of a terrifying tactician now, so he couldn’t sense the aura at all. The feeling of being monitored was only a guess in his heart.
but abaddon was extremely certain!
He knew that his sudden change of side had caused the anger of many people in the mechanical fortress. Perhaps even link didn’t fully trust him. He wanted to get more inside information about the alien planet from him.
Abaddon had already given link the core of the imprint, so it was not of much use to link in terms of power. The only thing he had was some insider information about the higher-ups of the alien planet, which was what link urgently needed. As long as he didn’t reveal everything he knew, he would still be of use.
As for the mechanical fortress, there were many people hiding in the dark who harbored enmity and malice towards him. As long as he was still of value, their actions would not be too blatant.
Although their impact on Abaddon could be minimized, these eyes hidden in the dark would hinder Abaddon’s ability to obtain information from the mechanical fortress and the wasteland Expeditionary Force.
now, I have to find a way to infiltrate the mechanical fortress, or break through the surface with a small point. I’ll first get a ‘good friend’ and then gradually expand my social circle. Otherwise, with the current hostile situation, we’ll be watched wherever we go, and it’ll be difficult to move!”
Abaddon thought of a strategy. What he needed to do now was to get in touch with the people on the mechanical fortress and judge who was the one who could be easily conquered.
Abaddon took a deep breath and left the corridor porthole, then walked all the way to the rest area.
The rest area was the place where the wasteland Expeditionary Force was the most complicated. Not only were there a large number of forces, but there were also some Inhumans. It could be said that this was the most chaotic place in the mechanical fortress.
As for why Abaddon knew all this after staying in his room for a few days, it was all thanks to the promotional film on the TV in his room. The television in the room had a promotional video that introduced the layout of the mechanical fortress to the various races and creatures that had just entered the mechanical fortress.
The lower levels were mostly office and industrial production areas.
The upper level was the core area of the mechanical fortress, with a control room and a series of important places. Only a few people with authority could enter. Abaddon didn’t even think about it. It was too difficult to get into the core of the mechanical fortress.
the middle level was the rest area, and it was the most important activity area in the entire mechanical fortress.
As the pressurized door opened, Abaddon stepped into the resting area and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
The wizard Tower that was suspended in the air before him occupied almost all of Abaddon’s eyes.
The arcane Eye at the top of the wizard Tower exuded a strong magical aura, and the magical waves in the air set off visible ripples. The whole scene was shocking and beautiful.
back in pandora, abdon had felt a powerful energy fluctuation when he was leaving. he had also vaguely seen the wizard tower, but that had only been a glimpse. Today was the first time he had seen the full picture, and he was extremely shocked.
Abaddon had conquered dozens of civilizations for the alien planet, many of which were magic civilizations. However, things like Wizard Towers had always only existed in legends and ancient books. They had never really existed.
Just by standing at the side, Abaddon could feel the intense pressure coming from the wizard Tower, which was far from what a fake floating-Space City like Pandora could compare to.
If Pandora had such a strategic weapon back then, the alien army and their two war messengers might have been wiped out by the mage Tower before link and the wasteland Expeditionary arrived.
Just as Abaddon was in a daze, the arcane Eye on the wizard Tower suddenly moved, and its target was him. As the intense arcane energy gathered, yabaddon suddenly felt that he was pressed down by a strong force. Under the pressure of the terrifying power, his knees slowly bent, and his shoulders seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds.
Abaddon understood that he had been locked on by the arcane Eye.
“Abaddon, did you ever think that this day would come when you boarded the mechanical fortress?” he asked. A voice pierced through Abaddon’s mental defense and appeared in his mind. It was simple and crude.
At the same time, the light of the arcane Eye in front of Abaddon became even brighter, and in this dazzling light, a clear silhouette appeared in front of him, looking down from above.
Although he couldn’t see the face clearly, Abaddon could tell from the voice that the ‘mysterious’ person in front of him was the Dean of Pandora’s Sky City Magic Academy, Gamesh.
Although the pressure given by the arcane Eye was very strong, Abaddon still endured it.
his bones creaked, and his legs trembled from the immense pressure. blood even seeped out from the corners of his mouth and eyes. But even so, Abaddon only bent his knees slightly, and his back was straight.
The macaw hiding in the dark saw this scene and almost blurted out,”i can’t learn to bend my back, hehe”
Fortunately, silver hand was quick to catch old Jin’s mouth, otherwise, both of them would have been exposed.
f * ck, do you want to die? if you had been discovered by Abaddon when you sang just now, all our efforts would have been in vain! Silver hand scolded in a low voice.
The macaw quickly nodded to show that it had made a mistake. It pulled off silver hand’s mechanical arm and explained in a low voice, ” “When I saw that scene just now, the inspiration in my mind erupted like a volcano, and I couldn’t stop it. It was indeed my mistake this time. Sigh, inspiration comes and can’t be stopped. It seems that being too talented is also a sin!”
Silver hand clenched his fist and glanced at the cocky macaw from the corner of his eye.
Damn it, it actually got it!
Just as the macaw and the Silver Hand were having a ” small show “, the situation on the front side suddenly took a turn.
The data consciousness stream Troy appeared and condensed into a data true body, which appeared between Abaddon and Gamesh.
Gamesh, the head of state has something to tell you, and also to all of you here. troy swept his gaze across the crowd from the magic academy, who were all furious, as well as the people from the surrounding forces who had run out to watch the show.
“Abaddon has surrendered and is willing to put righteousness before family. He is now a member of the wasteland Expeditionary Army. The wasteland Expeditionary Force was not allowed to have internal strife, and they would not attack their own people. Treat this as a warning, and if there’s a repeat of this, you’ll be severely punished!”
After Troy finished speaking, he turned into countless streams of data and disappeared.
Although he had already left, his powerful words still echoed in the rest area and people’s hearts.
After all, the wasteland Expeditionary Force was formed to eradicate the alien planet. Now that the head of state had actually given such a strict order for an outsider, everyone suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
“There’s no more fun to watch, let’s go, let’s go ~”
“alas, when the enemy who made a mistake surrenders, he can be a good man after putting down the butcher’s knife. On the other hand, we from the wasteland have become the lower class.”
“be careful with your words. if the head of state hears of this, you’ll probably be dead.”
with a sigh, many of the wasteland expeditionary forces returned to their own territories.
Gamesh, who had just been so majestic and judging the evil from above, suddenly bent over as if he had aged ten years.
alright, I’ll follow the head of state’s orders. Gamesh stared at Abaddon fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow him alive. However, after staring at it for a while, he suddenly felt discouraged and turned to leave. The wizard Tower’s Arcane Eye also returned to its normal state, just as magnificent and Holy as Abaddon had been when he had entered.
There had been quite a number of onlookers just now, but they had all disappeared in a short while.
The Large resting area exuded a rare desolate atmosphere.
Abaddon had suffered serious injuries. His lungs had cracked under high pressure, and the wounds on his body were like dry cracked land. His skin was open, and his flesh was torn. Purple blood was flowing out, and half of him was covered in blood.
but even so, the corners of abaddon’s mouth rose, and he grinned silently. he looked crazy and strange, and it was creepy.
Abaddon finally understood. With Link’s words, he had an additional death-exemption card.
she didn’t know what link was really thinking, but it was obvious that link wanted to buy his bones with a thousand gold. by giving this order to protect his safety, he also left a bottom line for the wasteland expeditionary force. as long as the enemy surrendered and did a good job, they could let bygones be bygones. Once this bottom line was broken, no enemy would choose to surrender in the future. It would be a blow to Link’s personal prestige and the scale of the Expeditionary Army.
But now that link had saved Abaddon, the original Expeditionary Force from the wasteland had started to complain. This was a good opportunity for Abaddon. With complaints, there would be negative energy. This negative energy would continue to grow and accumulate. Once it accumulated to an unbearable level, it would explode.
To Abaddon, these were all seeds, gunpowder, and an opportunity for the wasteland Expeditionary Force to split up.
At this moment, Abaddon had already thought of a way to deal with the wasteland Expeditionary Force.
Since the alien planet’s frontal forces were difficult to match, unless Lord Abu Dhabi or Lord yegash personally came, the other troops would only be courting death. The best way to deal with the wasteland was to attack from the inside.
Abaddon didn’t continue to stay in the rest area. Instead, he turned around and returned to his room.
With what had happened today, it was impossible for anyone to talk to him, and it was not suitable for him to do so. Otherwise, his purpose would be too obvious. What he had to do now was to recuperate in his room and wait for his complaints to ferment. Then, the next time he walked out of the room, he would stir up a storm again and let these complaints accumulate in people’s hearts, causing them to be depressed and dissatisfied.
“link, oh link, your thinking is grand and long-term, but you’ve neglected the most basic human heart. The human heart is the most unpredictable and fickle thing in the world. You will pay the price for ignoring it!”
The smile on Abaddon’s face became even more sinister. Even the war messengers couldn’t do anything about it. The alien planet had paid a great price to destroy the wasteland and link, but they still couldn’t do anything. It was very likely that he would be the one to destroy them this time. At that time, he would surpass the other war emissaries and be received by their leader, Thanos. He would be rewarded and promoted to a higher-up. Everything would be within his reach.
While Abaddon was hiding in his room and secretly cheering for his scheme, the macaw and silver hand were also covering their mouths and laughing wildly. Their big hands couldn’t even hide their laughter, and it almost reached their ears.
“The second step of the plan was a success. Link also told us to be careful of this Abaddon. It seems like he’s just so-so now that he can’t even understand such a simple trick. He’s probably hiding in his room and having fun, thinking that he’s found the password to his wealth.” the macaw placed its hands on its hips and its face was filled with disdain.
An enemy of this level would still be helping others count their money even after being sold.
the macaw now felt that link wasn’t all-powerful, there were times when he was wrong.
for the next two days, abaddon hid in his room and did not come out. Just as he had expected, the discussion about this matter gradually died down. the people were still doing what they were doing as usual, and it seemed like they had not caused any impact.
But only he knew that this incident was like a thorn, deeply stabbing into the hearts of every witness. It might not be obvious during normal times, but when the same thing happened again, when a new thorn was stabbed, the previous pain would be awakened.
Two days later, before Abaddon could get ready to go out again, someone came to him.
“How’s life in the mechanical fortress?”
Abaddon was shocked when he saw link.
he didn’t expect link to visit him personally at a time like this.
It wasn’t that Abaddon didn’t think link would ask him about the alien planet. He just didn’t expect link to come so quickly and so suddenly.
“What’s wrong? aren’t you going to invite me in?” Link laughed as he asked.
Abaddon quickly came back to his senses and invited link into the house.”I’m sorry, head of state. I didn’t expect you to arrive so suddenly. Please forgive me for not welcoming you.” Abaddon appeared to be in fear and trepidation. He was restless after welcoming link into his room.
I should be the one saying sorry. Since I’ve accepted your allegiance, I didn’t inform the rest in the rest area in advance, causing such a vicious incident to happen two days ago. As a leader, I’m very ashamed!
please don’t say that, my Lord. I know my nature on the battlefield, and I’ve caused so much damage with Gamesh and Pandora. Ten thousand deaths won’t be enough to calm my anger. It’s just that I understand that the head of state must have had a use for keeping my body. No one wanted something like this to happen, and I understand that it’s difficult for the head of state to be stuck in the middle. In the future, I’ll choose to go out when there are fewer people, or I won’t go out at all, so as not to cause more trouble for the head of state.”
Link’s face was tense. He slammed the table and said seriously,”What are you saying! Since you’ve already forsaken the dark for the light, and even commanded the troops to counterattack the alien planet on the battlefield, at that moment, you’ve already severed your ties with your past self. Right now, the only person in front of me was addon, a member of the Expeditionary Force, and not a foreign war envoy. In the future, you can release it whenever you want. No one will harm you in the slightest!”
Link’s voice was firm and powerful.
