Section 21 Devouring 3
Lu Wu squatted down and carefully observed the corpse, which looked like it had been dead for several days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The others didn't do much with the corpses, but Aki did a little slicing. But everyone knew that it wasn't worth much - the corpses of Kecha Goat's soldiers weren't worth much, and one of the videos Lu Wu had seen before was killed. It is estimated that the corpse must have been brought back as trophies. And even if the body is important, it has been dead for a not too short time, and its scientific value has been greatly reduced.
What is worth it is the living captives. The Warlocks of the Radiant Moon knew that Caychagoat was fighting the Stygian faction, and they were now eager to learn more. What does Kecha Goyat want, what kind of abilities does he (or they?) have, and what level of technology does he have? But none of this has been answered. Kecha Goat had been their enemy before, and because of the rapid change of roles, they had gone from being minions of the Stygian Moon to enemies of the Stygian Moon in an instant, so that the Radiant Moon Warlocks were unable to decide what to do with these uninvited guests from the Outlands.
After such a long ride, everyone is already a little tired. So use it as a break. They were all on the side of the car, sitting or standing. And Lu Wu could have plenty of time to observe this corpse.
As seen in the footage, the soldiers of Kecha Goyat look like locusts walking upright on two legs. The exterior of its body, not soft skin (like humans) and no hair, is a carapace-like thing. There was only a small gap between the clumps of armor, but it was enough to allow it to move freely and perform all sorts of difficult movements. Outside the shell, he wears metal armor. But these armors are very thin, and one can only say the extent of iron sheets, and at a glance you can see that the defense is very limited.
On Earth, after entering the age of firearms, human beings quickly eliminated armor. Because in front of the musket, the armor simply could not protect against bullets, and could only bring unnecessary burdens to the owner. Lu Wu couldn't see any value in this armor. He also remembered the video vividly - after the orange color that enveloped his body had subsided, the soldiers of Kecha Goyat were easily beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets. When its body was hit by a bullet -- it was about the same as a human. One or two bullets are enough to cause significant damage, even fatal.
"@#¥%," In the headphones, the master burst out with a foul language. "What a terrible guy! Wearing anti-magic armor!"
"Anti-magic armor?" Lu Wuyi was shocked. "This armor...... Can you nullify the magic?"
"It has a strong resistance to magic. The master said. "Actually, it's better to say that it can resist magic than that it can interfere with magic...... It shouldn't have reached the point of ineffectiveness. But if a warlock wants to deal with this creature, the difficulty will have to increase exponentially. ”
Lu Wu tried to disassemble the piece of iron from the corpse, and then found that it was an easy thing to do. These armors are not one, and they disintegrate when pulled hard. He quickly removed the largest piece.
The box in the distance glanced at Lu Wu curiously, but did not say anything about what he had done. The corpse's value was so lackluster that few could afford it - it was everyone's unanimous judgment. Lu Wu removed the armor, maybe out of curiosity, or did he want to take a souvenir?
"Partner, look at its body and weapons. ”
Lu Wu had long noticed that the soldiers of Kecha Goyat were very strong—their waists, chests, and abdomen were almost equal. And its body tissue is obviously different from humans, very heavy - without the magic ring, Lu Wu even has a hard time lifting one of its legs. If this thing were alive, it would have weighed at least 200 kilograms. And its speed is so agile, which is enough to show that its power far exceeds the range of humans.
As for its weapon, it is the same as what Lu Wu had seen before, it is a scythe-shaped weapon, used in close combat, indestructible, and even the exoskeleton armor can be cut in two. It is estimated that even if you encounter a tank, you can easily dismantle the tank into a ball of scrap metal. But the corpse beside Lu Wu, the scythe was already full of cracks - only then could it be noticed that it was not metal, but more similar to bone. It's unclear what texture it is, but it's clear that the scythe has no value after it is damaged. Even Lu Wu can use a hammer to knock off a piece from it along the crack.
And its hands. Its hands are very thick and strong, and they have five fingers like a human. But there are more knuckles than humans. At least in the senses, this hand should be more flexible and powerful.
"@#¥*\&," When Lu Wu carefully observed the scythe and the hand holding the sickle, the master once again burst into a foul mouth.
"What is this?" Lu Wu asked.
"Something terrible," the master said. "High frequency cutting knife. ”
This word sounds very lofty, and it seems very familiar, but Lu Wuyi couldn't remember it for a while.
"Partner, there's this kind of technology on Earth...... It's just not so exaggerated and mature. The master seemed to sigh. "To put it simply, the surface of any object is uneven, constantly vibrating all the time, the frequency of vibration in the thicker place will be slower, and the frequency will be faster in the thinner place, so the vibration will be put on the material, the vibration amplitude of the uneven place will be very subtle, the vibration frequency of the high frequency is very high, and these small uneven vibrations can be quickly accumulated to achieve fatigue, once any material is tired, that is, it is vulnerable to aging. Therefore, although the hardness of this knife itself is not a magic blade, it is easy to cut any solid, even if the humans on the earth can make the hardest material, graphene. ”
"So, if you can get an intact scythe from them......"
"I guess it's useless," the master said. "These things are obviously specialized equipment, and they have to be used by these soldiers. He said with a grunt. "It's dangerous, it's dangerous...... These guys are nothing more than a fighting machine built to kill. ”
Lu Wu completely agrees with this. The exoskeleton armor is powerful enough, isn't it? One exoskeleton armor, without weapons, is no problem against one hundred and eighty infantrymen. But in that video, the creature slashed five or six exoskeleton armors in one go before it was killed, and this was still the record of breaking into the enemy line alone, facing the superior enemy. If the numbers are equal or the difference in numbers is not so large, what will be the result?
And that orange-yellow glow...... It should be an energy shield, right? A shield that can be carried by a single soldier? Is this high-tech? Or is it magic? Lu Wu really couldn't figure it out for a while.
"By the way, master, how did it die?" Lu Wu asked. The Kechagoat soldier had no visible external injuries on his body, but his eyes (which, as mentioned earlier, had a pair of giant locust eyes) ooze a blood-like bodily fluid. In addition, there are many cracks on the carapace. It feels like you've been killed by a massive force, such as a blunt object strike or a fall from a height. But for some reason, his companion didn't seem to talk about it at all. It was as if this soldier of Kecha Goyat died so normally that there was nothing to discuss.
"How else can you die?" replied the master.
"Magic, what do you mean......" Lu Wu looked up and quickly found footprints. To say that the soldiers of Kecha Goyat are indeed very heavy, so even when it is not raining and the ground is relatively dry, they will leave a clear footprint.
The messy footprints around clearly show that this Kecha Goyat soldier was not alone when he died, but at least had a few companions. It was supposed to be a patrol of three or five soldiers. And then they met a warlock here?
And then...... The warlock attacked, killing an enemy, but then ......
Although Lu Wu didn't know what was going on, he could sense that the warlock's situation might not be good.
A few minutes later, the group set off again. Lu Wu clearly saw that there was an extra ring on Bai Ash's hand - a new model of magic ring that he had seen in Colonel Doyle's hand and that he had worn for a short time. And Lu Wu was very sure that before, Bai Ash had nothing on his hands.
"How far is it?" asked the box abruptly after getting into the car.
"It's going to be five or six days or longer," Aki replied after a moment's hesitation. "This area...... Kecha Goyat was heavily guarded, and there were hardly any baskets to be found. ”
There is an indisputable flavor to what she said, which makes people understand that this is not her subjective judgment, but an objective fact. It seems that the warlocks of Huiyue have tried it more than once, otherwise, Ah Qi would not have come up with such a close and distant combat strategy.
"The soldiers of Kecha Goyat are very capable of fighting and never act alone. "It was white ash that spoke. "From the experience of a series of previous failures, they have unknown internal contacts and move quickly. If a quick victory is not possible, then it will only take a short time for their reinforcements to arrive from all directions. Therefore, there is basically no possibility of winning in the squad-to-squad combat method, and it is difficult to even escape. That is, it is very difficult to defeat, let alone capture, its squads unless a sizable army is dispatched. But they also have a strong reconnaissance ability, and the size of the unit is a little larger, and it is easy to detect. ”
"Then, wouldn't it be more appropriate for the higher-ups to send a powerful warlock squad?" Lu Wu suddenly felt that things were a little strange. Why would Ah Qi be in charge of such a thing? Although there were two warlocks in their team, Lu Wu already knew that these two warlocks were hired. In other words, Aqi is the person in charge.
"Hehe," Ash replied with a smile. "How can this trivial matter bother the top brass? This is the task of the garrisons everywhere. But unless you fail to complete the task for a long time and suffer heavy losses, it is all handled by yourself below. ”
"So...... Are there heavy losses now?" Lu Wu asked. Because Bai Ash mentioned "a series of failures" just now.
"Huh, haha......" Ash laughed a few times, but turned his head back and stopped discussing the topic.
In three days' time, they would arrive at a Kéchagoyat army assembly point, or barracks, which, according to some limited information, was the core of the entire sphere of influence, the border patrol team, that is, all the patrols from the east to the west, and the bits and pieces of patrols should have come out there.
"That's right," Lu Wu chatted with Xiaoxiao again in boredom. "What do you want to do when you get the exoskeleton armor? Do you join that club? You said that if you don't have enough strength, you can easily be used as cannon fodder. ”
Although Lu Wu didn't know how much strength Xiaoxiao still had, he didn't think it was strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ventured here. At the very least, I'll send a subordinate or something.
"No," smiled mysteriously. "But I have a better way. ”
"What's the way?" Lu Wu asked, but Xiaoxiao refused to answer, and directly changed the topic. "Honestly, do you ever feel that the bald head seems to be absent-minded?"
"What?"
"White Ash really seems to be just for this task, but bald...... Why do I think he has other plans?"
