Chapter 684: Hype Up the Tao Sect (Large Chapter)_3
In the Transmission Square, the black-clothed Patrol Team that maintained order had grown from just a few individuals to now hundreds of people.
At that moment,
the halo of the transmission array in the southwest direction brightened, and in the blink of an eye, a few figures appeared.
The nearby patrols were about to step forward to maintain order and provide explanations when they suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure and abruptly halted their steps.
Wang Hu,
who had been shuttling through the transmission array dozens of times, bringing tens of thousands of members of the Human Race, had become somewhat famous among the Patrol Team.
Why had he only brought a few people this time?
...
On the platform,
Wang Hu said to the middle-aged man in silver armor standing beside him with a commanding presence, "General Roddy, this is Tao City. The first time I came here, all before me was a wilderness. I didn't expect that in just over twenty days, it has become such a beautiful city... Oh right, we should step off the platform, otherwise we'll interfere with the next group's transmission."
Instinctively, Roddy took a step down from the platform, still in a daze.
He was a high-ranking member of the Human Race in the Cliff Heart Empire and even commanded a division of the Human Race Army, a division that was not well-favored by the Empire, however.
When Wang Hu first found him, he was skeptical and guarded.
The division under his command was the core force of the Human Race in the Cliff Heart Empire.
In the midst of war, the empire's upper echelons intended to use his division as cannon fodder in an exchange with the Kingdom Alliance Army. If the Human Race had not been operating in the Cliff Heart Empire for many years, building relationships with certain high-ranking officials, they would have been sent to the most dangerous front lines long ago.
Wang Hu's words had offered them a secure way out.
But Roddy feared it was a trap. If they were branded as 'deserters', they would have no power to resist and would be disposed of like cannon fodder.
Roddy couldn't take that gamble. After long deliberation, he decided to bring a few trusted subordinates and quietly check it out for himself.
In his mind,
as long as the transmission array truly existed, and as long as there was a Human Race city on the other side of the array with none of the usual exploitations, he could migrate most of the people in the Human Race Province.
After emerging from his daze, Roddy saw the prosperous city before him, saw that most of the inhabitants were of the Human Race, and his fluctuating emotions had already settled down significantly.
Only astonishment remained.
As a Unity Realm powerhouse, Roddy had visited the Imperial Capital of the Cliff Heart Empire and had also used the Empire's transmission array.
When using the Empire's array, one felt a distinct sense of weightlessness and spatial disorientation.
For those below the Stepping Void Realm, dizziness and vomiting were common occurrences, and ordinary people couldn't even endure the chaotic spatial pressures during the transmission process.
These things, Wang Hu did not know about.
But Roddy was acutely aware of them. He clearly saw that not far away, on a transmission array platform, hundreds of ordinary people appeared unharmed, without even the slightest signs of disorientation or discomfort.
Opening and closing one's eyes, they had crossed billions of miles of mountains and rivers. If Roddy hadn't experienced it himself... he would not have believed it.
And thus, the awe in Roddy's heart far exceeded Wang Hu's.
"General Luo, over there is the registration area. There used to be a Labor Hall, but now it's been moved to the outskirts of the Central District... Oh, you mean that? That is the most common Floating Car, only meant for urban use. It's economic feature is its affordability..."
While Wang Hu spoke, the smile on his face could hardly be concealed as he pulled a silver Floating Car from his Space Ring. From a distance, the streamlined vehicle resembled a silver bullet head, "This Floating Chariot III model I bought a couple of days ago can fly faster than the Stepping Void Realm. As one of the first hundred buyers, I was also given a fifty-cubic Space Ring..."
Wang Hu unabashedly boasted.
General Roddy and his subordinates stood there, dumbstruck.
What are you saying? A vehicle that could outrun the Stepping Void Realm? Have we cultivated in vain all these years?
And even if it exists, why could you, a mere Awakened, afford it?
A Stepping Void master under Roddy's command wanted to challenge the claim, but his words choked in his throat and retreated.
Along the way,
there was no shortage of things they wanted to question.
The transmission points that spread across the continent;
Defense Towers that needed no operation and could kill a Mutant Beast in a matter of minutes;
Exorbitant transmission fees waived at will;
Now that they thought about it, wasn't it just a 'mere' car that could escape the hands of the Stepping Void Realm? Wasn't it just a bit more advanced?
After many experiences, they had come to understand one thing: as long as it was the work of the Tao Sect, no matter how exaggerated, they believed it!
Once back, encountering other members of the Army, I'll blow up praising the Tao Sect!
