Chapter 16: The Sandworm and the Dove of Peace

Three watched the enemy closely. The self-proclaimed ultra-pacifist ideology descended on the Yukawa Lizardman soldiers, and TA looked calm, his body slightly forward, and he faced the three with the white fire that raged through his flesh.

With a wave of his hand, a torrent of mud and sand poured out from the ground, dust obscured the view, and high-speed rocks shot at the thought like cannonballs!

"Why did you do it?"

The thought tide didn't move, and the stones that came at him were sidelined by an invisible force. This is the pacifism-exclusive mod "Neutral in Time", which has the effect of targeting the user's attacks, most of which will not hit, just like the torrent of steel on the battlefields of Europe has never entered a neutral country.

However, the thought is well aware that such a mod does not make itself completely immune to attack -

The dust was blown away by the strong air current, and the thought was keenly aware that the three blows were imminent. However, instead of dodging, he raised his right fist and slammed it to the side!

"Boom!"

A dark red sledgehammer slammed into the thought trend at an extremely high speed! There was a burst of light on the thought tide's body, and the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back. However, TA's fist also bypassed the sledgehammer...... There was still a little distance to hit Sanji's arm.

The three light clusters wrinkled their heads, and he could feel most of the force of the blow being canceled out...... At the same time, a stream of heat came from the arm!

The biggest difference between the defensive module - "Geographical Defense Line" and mods such as Shield is that virtual defense modules such as shields can only cope with the attacks of modules, while "Geographical Defense Lines" can adaptively choose virtual defense modules or physical defense strikes according to the enemy's attack type.

And that warm current is a powerful module of pacifism: "harmony and persuasion".

How to keep the peace?

It is a time of day to be in an era of peace, or if the era does not consider it beneficial to attack this place;

It is advantageous to build a solid defensive line and occupy steep terrain;

And if the enemy is unwilling to fight, or if we are willing to fight for our country and bravely resist the enemy, thus shaking the enemy's will to fight, and pressing the ambition of aggression to the negotiating table into a contract - this is the people.

Then you can also guess the effect of "people and persuasion" -

"It's ...... Disgusted?"

Sanqi felt that the current of thought did not give him pain. A stream of heat flows through the body, as if good memories are being evoked. The sweet spring water may flow into the heart, some wounds are healed, and an indescribable tranquility wells up in the heart—making people want to put down their knives and guns and hug their loved ones.

He put down the sledgehammer and looked up at the thought stream, the man smiled and nodded, did he really hurt people all the time? No.

So why keep fighting?

"—I'm guessing you're not influenced by TA. ”

Shao Nian's voice came from inside the headphones.

"Of course. ”

The sledgehammer melted into the earth in thousands of scales, and the heads of the three shiny glowed dangerously red, and the dark red scarves fluttered in the wind, and the source of the wind—

"If it's a person, there's a high probability that you'll be hit. ”

It's three that break through the sound barrier - punch!

And yet—

"Tsk. ”

The thought reacted quickly, holding his arms in front of him as he was about to raise his hands, and at the same time lifting his feet off the ground and retreating with strength.

"You warmongers!" exclaimed the thought in anger, "even if we are so sincere, you must pretend to accept kindness, but attack us while people are not paying attention!"

The three twisted their heads, and the dangerous red light became more and more dazzling, and the entire venue was filled with an uneasy light.

"While people aren't paying attention?" "You are not a 'human' and your purpose is to hurt 'people', of course I will cleanse you of this 'monster'." ”

"It's not helpful to say more. ”

The pacifist trend of thought rose into the air.

"Well, then, there is only one way to deal with the aggressor. ”

"Crush them!"

Behind the Thought, a pair of wide dove feathers of peace suddenly unfolded, and then the Thought Tide opened its arms, and cyan light shot towards the Thought Trend from all over the city!

A mod common to all schools of thought - Shenhai Lonely Boat. Literally, in the sea of many people's spirits, people who believe in this trend of thought hold up a flat boat together.

The effect is also obvious - the resource power of the ideology is constantly climbing!

"It's a little weaker than expected. The lizardman's face twisted slightly, "It's all to blame for the shameless people who are picking quarrels and stirring up trouble in the city." ”

Yukawa's spies have been destroying people's belief in peace in the city (releasing strange beasts to shake people's hearts), and Geralt has also arranged a lot of movements to lure snakes out of the hole, which has reduced the mod resources obtained by pacifist ideology a lot.

And Sanqi was not ready to let him continue to sigh. He threw an arc out of his right arm, and a stream of sand shot into the sky and rushed straight into the thought! With a flap of his wings, the thought tide dodged the sand flow, and the three took advantage of the gap in the thought tide to dodge and rushed into the sand flow, and burst into the sky with the power of the dust jet!

"Ziziz!" The skeleton's head was almost pitch-black scarlet as it burst out of the sand!

"Hmph. The thought raises his hand and sends out a blast as he retreats, but the three of them don't move—the scale armor covering his body neutralizes the enemy's mods! Seeing this, the thought immediately used the "Armory" module to remove the stored shield, and then ......

"Ding! click!" The shield was directly shattered, but it seemed to be broken to dissolve the force, and the thought itself was not damaged, and it retreated with strength. Three blows followed by a downward fall -

"Drink!" Seeing this, the thought tide immediately flapped its wings and dived, and at the same time, TA took out a long sword from the armory and aimed it at the three straight sprints!

Suddenly, the scarlet on the three heads seemed to stabilize a little. Seeing this, the thought tide immediately canceled the generation of the right wing, and suddenly the body rotated to the right several times, and the body no longer rushed to the three, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the black shadow attacked from the other side, and the huge tower dragon broke through the ground, and pounced on the sky above the three after smashing the ruins and broken walls, if it wasn't dodging in time, this collision might not even be able to stop the shield!

"Da ......" thought tide landed and took a few steps back to stabilize his body, while Sanqi also twisted his body in the air, and his legs bent and landed smoothly.

On one side is the "extreme pacifist ideology" that exudes serene brilliance, and on the other side is the scarlet light ball skeleton with its back against a terrifying giant beast, which looks like a duel between the decent and the villain.

"This guy is extremely resistant to mods......" Thought frowned secretly, "and he ...... Doesn't seem to be using mods per se?"

The tower dragon should be his mod, right?But why didn't you feel the fluctuations in the mod from this skeleton? This question cannot be answered, but there is another conclusion, which can be dealt with.

"Patriotic mobilization. ”

The body of the ideological trend flashed with the brilliance of various colors, some emanating from the chest, and some from the glimmer of the eyes: "guerrilla strategy", "strong wall and clear wilderness", "local intelligence", "common hatred of the enemy...... Various historical and current defense strategies have been turned into modules for its use, providing this trend with improvements in movement speed, resource recovery speed, attack resistance, danger perception, and so on. It should be noted that for its own enhancement module, it only recognizes the body, not the consciousness, which means that if your consciousness is transferred to another body, the enhancement will not be inherited.

To get back to the point, the strengthening of the thought towards itself was almost completed in a moment, and just as the three rushed like trains, the thought suddenly raised its head, and the whole person disappeared, leaving only the white flame to tell that TA had been here.

"Guerrilla Strategy" mod's effect: If understood well enough, it will hide its form.

However, a voice came from the headphones of Sanqi: "Right rear!"

Then he turned his head sharply and swung his sledgehammer, pacifist thought drew his sword to block, and then he lowered his body and rushed from below, but he ignored the three times, and let go of the sledgehammer with both hands to elbow the enemy's back!

"Bang!" the sword slashed through the bones, leaving a scar, and the elbow slammed into the thought to knock him out. As soon as he stepped on his feet, the figure of the thought dissipated and flashed not far away, and his face was a little bad.

“...... It's just as militaristic. It took a long time for TA to spit out a sentence, "Can you go head-to-head with the trend of thought...... What kind of monster are you?"

Sanjo shrugged, "I think I'm supposed to be a 'human'." You're monsters, and I don't feel even the slightest warmth. ”

"Not bad. The flame on the body of the ideology burned more and more violently, "We give all the good things to what we believe in, and strive for it to be recognized by more people." But what about you? What's the use of talking about the distinction between 'humans' and 'monsters'?"

Sanqi picked up the broad-edged sword handed over by Ta Zilong, "Where is the duty." ”

Then the two sides rushed to each other again, three wide open and close, not caring about being hit, and the ideology was skillful, often using unloading techniques to defend counterattacks. The swords of the two sides are staggered, and the sound of metal striking is incessant, and from time to time a wave of impact is released for position adjustment.

In the end, the three rushed forward and slashed hard, and the thought tide raised his knife to deflect it to the side, but the bruised tendons on his arms told us that it was not easy. TA stabbed three with another knife, and the blade cut through the white bones, stirring up a cloud of bone chips. Three leg lifts and knee collisions, three ideological kicks, and the two sides finally separated after more than ten rounds of the battle.

"Go!" the three turned their heads, and Ta Zilong rushed towards the thought stream in response. A quagmire suddenly formed under the thought tide, but although the tower dragon's movements were slightly sluggish, the thought tide still needed to dodge. They tumbled out of the sandworm's range and kicked the floor into the air and retreated to the rear.

At this moment-

A slight explosion sounded from afar, and when the thought tide heard the sound, it immediately launched a "geographical defense line" in the direction of the sound, and a barrier formed by olive branches sprouted from the palm of the hand, enveloping most of the body!

However, the opponent's attack went straight through the barrier and shot the lizardman into the flesh! The bronze warhead was engraved with a cross, and the moment it entered its body, it burst open, slicing through the flesh and various organs.

"It's not a mod strike?" Instead of using a recovery mod, the ideology stared at the direction in which the bullet was fired, "Two kilometers away, yes, such a small attack mod is almost impossible to ......"

TA's movements became much slower. A loud bang suddenly sounded not far away, and the thought trend turned around, only to see three times smashing the floor, and the whole white bone was also shot at the thought trend like a bullet.

"So much information...... Steady wins, no losses. ”

Just as the hammerhead was about to shatter the thought trend, the flames on TA's body finally completely enveloped TA. The sledgehammer whizzed, but the blow only stirred up a floating white fire.

Almost all those who come will be ablaze, because no one can think of a single thought, like a thought. A fanatical believer is still on fire, let alone a lizardman soldier.

Walking on the ruins, Sanqi said with a headset: "The purpose of the enemy is to collect our intelligence. Is it really good for you to do this?"

"Look at your coral-like bones to see why I'm firing. Shao Nian was lying far away, covered with a tip of invisible fabric. The vast majority of this stealth device is based on science and technology, and some difficult details are smoothed out by mods, so it is difficult to detect both visually and modally. It's no wonder that the ideology didn't find it, but if it was the ontology, maybe it would.

"How did you get that mod resistance, and is it useful for me to give you a healing bullet?" asked Shao Nian.

"It gives. Sanqi touched the Tazilong, and the sandworm immediately became smaller and lay on Sanqi's head, "We can't cancel the resistance, and the treatment probably won't work." My injuries healed on their own. ”

"Sanqi is really a good person with peace of mind!" Shao Nian sighed sincerely, "May I ask where I can find some more skeletons like you?"

“...... It's nice to praise people. Sanqi scratched his head, "What's next?"

Shao Nian took a sniper scope and looked around, "These guys don't leave anything good for us to reverse engineer...... You wait for me to come and take a look around......"

Suddenly, the sun rose.

Shao Nian looked up at the sky, only to see a dazzling white light hanging in the sky, all the stars in the sky disappeared, and even the sound of roosters crowing came from the chicken coop in the distance.

However, as a porcelain sword man, he knew exactly what it was.

"Sanqi, let's go back quickly!" Shao Nian quickly got up and rushed in the direction of the Porcelain Sword Merchant Pavilion, "Okay, I know it's a bit shameful to involve you, but this wave is really going to trouble you!"

"What is it? Thoughts?" Hearing this, the three raised their heads, and the sandworm immediately jumped to the ground and burrowed into the ground, and then the giant sandworm broke through the ground, and the three were thrown into the sky by it and went straight to the merchant house.

"Damn, that's a lot more troublesome than the Institution Trend. Shao Nian gritted his teeth, "Those guys...... It's not like a human being than an ideology!"

At the same time, the brightness of the white light reached its peak! The bright light stung Shao Nian's eyes, and his field of vision was white...... I can't see anything clearly!

However, the three cases do not appear to be affected. He shouted into the microphone, "Are you okay!"

"Damn...... It's this trick again!" Shao Nian forcibly endured the stinging pain from the naked eye and replaced it with another mechanical eye, which made him feel better, "It's a plank, this trick is just as good as a robot! I hope the people in the merchant hall ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a rocket was launched from a distance, knocking down the light source that covered the sky. After an explosion, the dazzling glare faded away.

Chengxun put down the bazooka, turned around and said to the heavily armed Karakum: "Turn up the sound insulation effect in the basement to the maximum." Don't make a noise until Her Royal Highness sleeps. ”

He turned his head to look out the window, and saw sandbags piled up in the courtyard, machine gun towers poking out of the wall and pointing out, and behind him were other Karakuri who had removed their arms and replaced them with a handle of the gun attachment in the gun box. Since the gun in the hand can be snatched away or shot down, it is necessary to connect it with the hand - the classic porcelain sword thinking.

Of course, there are also brothers who directly change their right hand to a 25mm caliber cannon. Then there was an ammo box behind all the tricks, and at the same time, Cheng Xun picked up a book and said to everyone in turn:

"Revenge of the Deep. ”

"The shallows return the favor. ”

"The sea, the sea, you are all water. ”

The muzzles of all of them rippled like the sea. Since too many guns will heat up and damage the barrel, and the water cooling system is too bulky, it is good to just put water-related mods on the gun holster - the classic porcelain sword thinking.

In addition, the people standing in the courtyard were nailed with several layers of steel plates, and the special lines on them were resistance runes against various modules, and with a wave of his hand, the Karakuri took their places, and then this guy pushed out a field cannon from under his desk. He stared at the golden light in the distance.

"Well, glowing fireflies. ”

Then he slammed the fuse, and the cannonball whistled out, shooting at the porcelain sword's nemesis—

Cult of the Sun.
