"Because this time you saved me. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" replied the colonel. "I don't want to deny that. If you hadn't brought someone here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now. ”

"Haha...... Unfortunately, this is not the case. Red-clothed replied calmly. "Lucky Colonel, I know more than you do. So I might as well tell you one thing, you don't have to worry about me. The world has changed. The time for equilibrium has come, but the Warlocks will not quit. ”

"What did you say?"

"Something, it's changed forever. Redcoat replied. "Your higher-ups already know, sure, maybe they're still blocking the news, but ...... I'm pretty sure the Warlocks won't be able to retreat to the second line. ”

"I don't understand. The Colonel groaned. "What force can change this?"

"Greed in human nature, and the quest for power. Redcoat said.

"I don't understand ......"

"Many years ago, the Warlocks of the Moon Camp discovered a special intelligent life in the Aetheric Sea. Hongyi thought for a moment. "It was a very fortuitous encounter...... In fact, if it weren't for the intelligent beings who took the initiative to greet each other, even the warlocks would have missed each other as inconspicuous floating objects. It turned out that the particular being was a 'spiritual being', that is, it was truly conceptually not physical, but existed in the form of a spiritual body, just as a sorcerer could incarnate himself. However, the Warlocks use magic to forcibly pull their consciousness out of their bodies, and he naturally does so. Of course, he cannot exist out of thin air, but must be attached to an object, as long as it is solid. ”

"It's nothing that there are so many worlds so big. I've seen more ridiculous and incredible records. ”

"Yes, there is nothing surprising about this in itself, it is nothing more than an accidental discovery in the sea of ether. The Warlocks brought the intelligent creature who called itself the Plane Traveler back to Vago and did a lot of experiments...... It turned out to be meaningless in the end. The creature's way of existence is too strange to be justified or used effectively with the current state of technology. So the matter seems to have ended there, and it is no longer mentioned. From start to finish, the Warlocks found a rare creature, and nothing else was found. Warlocks think they are the ones who take the initiative, they are the researchers, and the creature is the object of study. Their research on that particular creature had yielded nothing, but they had nothing to lose except for wasting some time. Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as it seems, and it turned out that although the Warlocks didn't know anything about that creature, that particular creature didn't ...... The study of this world, however, has made great progress. ”

"What do you mean......"

"He gave the warlocks a spell. ”

"That creature has magical powers, too?"

"No, he doesn't have magical powers, but the warlocks, out of curiosity or something, have provided him with some magic for him to study. And this creature has developed a result. That's ......," Redcoat said. "A powerful ability called 'Devour'. ”

"Devouring?"

"If a warlock can kill another warlock, he can use this ability to take a portion of the deceased's power as the deceased's life gradually dissipates and the source of magic collapses. ”

"What...... So, mortals too?" this time, even the Colonel's ice-cold face couldn't help but be moved. He knew exactly what that meant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has shaken the foundation of the entire world.

"Not for mortals at the moment, but it's hard to say what the future holds......" Redcloth replied. "At least as long as I'm gone, only warlocks can use this power. And the worst thing is that any warlock can use this power. Even low-level warlocks are the same. ”

"This must be extremely secret, why are you telling me this?"

"Because this secret can't be hidden. Redcoat said. "And I'm sure it's no secret anymore. In short, the old pattern is about to be broken, and everything we are familiar with will change. The war will be more intense and more brutal. It's nothing to me, though, it's just that more warlocks will die...... Of course, no matter how many warlocks die, it won't affect a lower-level soldier like me. ”

"But, as far as I know, the great layout of the warlocks' retreat from the first line has unfolded," the Colonel muttered. "It's almost impossible to change. ”

"Maybe. Redcoat said. "But you must understand that after this big change, it is impossible for the Warlocks to take a back seat as they did in the past. In other words, a mortal like me will not be decisive in the next battle, even if it has any impact. ”

The Colonel looked at the other man, although his eyes were still cold, but if a third party who knew him well was present, he would surely recognize that his attitude had loosened.

"Is there anything else you can tell me?"

"Good news and bad news. Which one to listen to first?" replied Red. "Forget it, don't play this kind of game anymore. The creature we are facing now is called the 'Crusty Monster', which is not actually from another world, but the product of previous human experiments...... No, it can't be said to be a finished product, but a waste of failed experiments. That is, all the battles now, for that side, are just the extent of waste utilization. ”

"How is that possible?" the Colonel's eyes suddenly became like a sharp sword, piercing straight at the other party.

"That's what happened," the red coat didn't care. "The real experiments are far from on the ground now, and when they do...... No one knows what will happen. The good news is ...... I'm afraid that the warlocks of the Stygian camp have also lost control of the situation. The real results of the experiments are not necessarily your enemies. ”

"Thank you for the information. The colonel stared at the other and suddenly asked. "Why?"

"The humblest warlock is better than the wisest mortal. Redcoat replied. "You've probably heard the saying. It was never written in a book or on a stone tablet, and I thought, perhaps, I could be the only exception. ”

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

"I'm going to survive, just like that, and I'm going to be a soldier for the rest of my life. Maybe one day, the corpse will be buried in a small battle that can't even be recorded. Redcoat replied. "Of course, for the time being, I just want to do something useful to help these refugees. I must say that they may be the last remnants of the old age of humanity in this world. Only a remote area like the Banshee's Gate can accommodate this kind of tribe that has long been in the history books. ”

"They saved you?"

"They saved a lot of people. Without them," Redcoat said. "Half of the people here won't survive. Although the Crusty Monster is a waste product of failed experiments, it is still very threatening to ordinary people. ”

"That's just what you think now, and people's minds always change. ”

"Maybe, at least that's what I'm thinking about it now. There's no room for me anywhere...... Ha, if I have the chance, I'm really willing to go to some other world and never come back. Unfortunately, I'm not a warlock and don't have this opportunity. Redcoat said.

This seemed to be their last topic, followed by a long silence.

"I'll forget you. The colonel said suddenly.

"I can't ask for it. Redcoat replied, and then he just hugged his pet and turned away. His departing figure pulled out two long shadows in the light of the double moon.

"If I'm not mistaken, your unit will stay behind to hold off the pursuers. You can't help those refugees!" In the rear, the colonel's voice sounded.

"That's right, so I asked someone else to help. "A man who may have limited abilities, but who can make people believe that he will do the best he can." ”

……

"One, two, three...... With a trumpet, the three of them worked together to move the heavy machine that had fallen to the ground back to the car. To say that it is also luck, in this rollover accident, the car was not damaged. In fact, there were almost no losses, except for an unpowered, improvised knock-off car that lacked a corner.

But even so, the impact of the accident is not so simple. Because the whole team has come to a standstill. It wasn't until everything was done and the car was back on the road that the whole stagnant procession began to flow again.

Lu Wu wiped the sweat from his head, and then walked up to a small mound on the side. This is where the queue is interrupted, and the cars are concentrated here. The refugees had very few powered vehicles, so they built a lot of unpowered vehicles and pulled them by those that did, which were similar to trains, and transported a lot of equipment at once. Of course, moving forward with this approach will inevitably lead to a series of car accidents.

Lu Wu originally thought that it should be very simple for such a team to pass through this plain. After all, this is not a hilly and dangerous place, but a flat river. The so-called "escort work" is actually just walking slowly with the team. It shouldn't be difficult.

Although Hongyi entrusted this responsibility to Lu Wu, the master assured that the trip would be safe. Those pesky crusty monsters will never attack them.

Although the master's prediction is still correct so far, Lu Wu's Lu Wu's judgment is completely wrong. In fact, the journey was not an easy one.

Not to mention anything else, a brigade that was originally planned to cover the retreat of tens of thousands of people now has dozens of people left.

This is not because of the losses in battle, but because from the first days of the retreat there was a large number of deserters.

This is actually very understandable, they did not voluntarily sign up to join the army, but were forcibly recruited in the way of "pulling strong ding". To say that this brigade can adhere to discipline and carry out its tasks honestly and conscientiously without supervision is really a hell of a sight.

First a small group of soldiers secretly fled, then the junior officers followed and began to run, and in fact, the theoretical supreme commander, that is, the captain of the group, took the lead on the fourth day. So the army, which was completely unsupervised, quickly staged a victorious escape, a complete collapse.

The reason why these people ran away is also very simple, because the line is too slow.

Although the route they chose was plain, the speed of the team was actually ridiculously slow. Without enough off-road vehicles, it is completely conceivable that such a team carrying so many bottles and cans, men, women and children will be slow. It's not that people don't want to speed things up. But there are too many people, and among so many people, there will always be scattered problems. The elderly are left behind, the children are lost, the people are sick, the vehicles are damaged and need to be repaired, there are traffic accidents while moving forward, and so on, and so on, there are countless troubles that slow down the speed of the team every day.
