Grumas and a few of his cronies gathered here at the mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The air was dull and terrible, and even a fool could tell that Grumas was in a bad mood right now. As mentioned earlier, this is not because of the losses of the army, but because Grumas has always regarded himself very highly. This time, he judged fifteen many times and failed repeatedly. So at the moment, there is really no way for others to say, all you can do is be silent.

They don't worry about their own safety. For among other things, the mansion was surrounded by Grumas's own guards. Previously, Grumas did not command from the side of the mansion, but chose another location in the city close to the battlefield. At least partly because his men were working hard to fortify the building.

That's right, try to reinforce.

When Lu Wu came to visit, or rather, when the banquet was held, at least everything seemed normal here. But in fact, it has long been renovated in the name of the place. It must be said that Grumas's plan was not improvised, but was prepared from the beginning. The entire building, in all respects, has been reinforced to the standard of resisting a siege by an army.

When Lu Wu came as a guest, he didn't have a chance to see this side. Of course, even if he is an observant, it is difficult to see - just like the bunkers on Earth, if you remove the firing holes they use to house machine guns, then it is difficult to see what they are really used for, and you may even think that it is strange to dig a basement of this size.

The fortress was one step away from being completed—and the final one was done in the first half of the night. That's why Grumas chose to retreat rather than leave. Now, more than five hundred electromagnetic turrets, which have been prepared for a long time, have turned this place into a full-fledged hedgehog.

It is not impossible to attack such a bunker, and it takes a lot of effort to say anything. In fact, according to a universal rule of warfare that exists everywhere, when the attacker has absolute superiority in strength and firepower, and has plenty of time to organize the attack, the defender will eventually fail. The so-called "there is no soldier who must be saved outside, and a city that must be defended inside" is this truth.

But Grumas needed only half a night...... Uh, now let's say, half a night.

The surveillance is still a faithful worker, transmitting the battle situation of the entire city to the terminal through various images. If there is any consolation now, it is that Lu Wu obviously did not take Grummas's reinforcements into account. It can be seen from the picture that the 5th Army Force is slowly closing together -- sweeping away the remaining enemies from all directions, all the way, and closing in on this side.

Very cautious and correct, but it was this move that would make him waste his precious time.

……

"I'm sorry, sir. "Such a voice sounded in the exoskeleton armor. "I hope it didn't bother you, though. ”

The middle-aged warlock was stunned for a moment. It's like walking down the street and suddenly a dog walks by with a big, vicious-looking dog. As long as the dog does not make any aggressive moves, but just trots past it, then the human will maintain the inertia of the previous action and it will take half a day to come back to his senses.

It's just that everything happens too quickly, too suddenly, and without threat, but people can't react normally. He froze there for a few seconds before subconsciously replying. "Nope. ”

The exoskeleton didn't look good, and the outermost armor may have worn or mutilated somewhere (which is common) and had been patched with a thin soft metal shell. Truth be told, while this may have covered up the mutilation of the armor, it made it uglier than aesthetically pleasing. Because it's obviously not machining, it's handmade, and the craftsman's craft is really not very good. Such a simple job, but it seems to be full of potholes, and there are residual gaps everywhere. That soft metal casing didn't even do a good job of leveling. In a word, it's ugly, and it's so ugly that it's almost indescribable - although it looks like it's functioning intact, if you don't know the details, you'll think it's probably coming out of the garbage recycling bin.

But ugly, he still recognized this exoskeleton armor as the latest model - although the warlocks don't usually use this kind of weaponry, but they still have the ability to say this - from this alone, it is clear that this is not Grummas's men. Grumas's men's equipment was a mess, but it didn't include this one. Not to mention that this person still climbed the wall to get to this highest position. The Warlock knew very well that Grumas's men could not do such a thing.

He looked to the sides, but still couldn't figure out what was going on - if there was a steady stream of new exoskeleton armor climbing up on both sides, he could still think that Lu Wu had launched a surprise attack, but there was really nothing.

There was only one of them - and it seemed to be quite polite in conversation.

The Assassin sent by Lu Wu would be understandable if he were a lone Assassin - in the midst of this confusion, the Assassin piloted such a tattered (in this sense, this tattered appearance was a camouflage), and it was easy to blend in with Grumas's defeated army. Then, after sneaking in, he naturally chose an inconspicuous path to infiltrate the fortress of Grumas, so he met him by accident.

But to sneak up on this highest platform? This assassin is a little too stupid, does he think that there will be no guards here? It doesn't feel like it.

"That...... You're Lu Wu's subordinate, aren't you?, you're coming to Grummas?" the middle-aged warlock asked. As he spoke, he had slowly come back to his senses. For ordinary people, an exoskeleton armor is a terrifying existence, but for him, this thing is no different from a child's toy. Almost all Warlocks, as long as they are not taken by surprise, will not have a problem dealing with a mere exoskeleton armor. Then again, if this equipment could pose a serious threat to warlocks in the true sense of the word, I am afraid it would not have developed to this extent.

"No, Your Excellency, I'm here for you. If I'm not mistaken, your name should be Denzel, the Warlock of Grummas?"

"Sorry, you may be mistaken," he said repeating his name, but he was bored. "But it doesn't matter what you call me. "Because you're going to die.

"Then I will call you Your Excellency. Exoskeleton Armor said. "My name is Han, and as you can guess, it's not my real name, but as you said, it's a no-brainer, at least for now. You're right, I'm now a subordinate of the Commander of the 5th Army Corps, but I'm not from Gashe, I'm a captain in the local legion. ”

"That...... What are you looking for me?" the middle-aged warlock asked. He did this out of curiosity, but also because the battle hadn't really broken out yet, and he had some free time to pass at this point. Other than that, he didn't think such an exoskeleton could do anything.

"Aside from being the captain of the local army," Han continued. "I'm also a veteran member of the Dark Alliance Brotherhood. You should know about this organization, right?"

"I've heard of it," this self-introduction did not so much satisfy the middle-aged warlock's curiosity as it increased his curiosity. "Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance...... A group of anti-warlocks. "But warlocks have always been dismissive of these boring ants, and only the most boring of them will try to deal with these groups of fools who are doomed to have no chance of success. To be honest, it's a waste of time to be idle.

“…… I am also one of the very few survivors of the Lecklermer Rebellion. Han continued. "You may not have heard of it, but this is the largest operation we've had in decades. ”

The middle-aged warlock had to admit that he had no idea that there was such a thing.

"Heh, I'll admit it's not a big deal for the Huiyue faction. We gathered the best forces we could and managed to capture a foundry. But unfortunately, the warlocks' counterinsurgency force arrived immediately, and it was not a large army. They say there are hundreds, but I think dozens are barely enough. Although he couldn't see the other party's expression through the helmet of the exoskeleton, the self-deprecation in the cold words was too obvious. "Our final battle was to kill one Warlock and wound five or six Warlocks. But on our side, very few people escaped alive. ”

"That's a good record. The middle-aged warlock said sincerely. "By the standards of a rabble. ”

Even if it's not a rabble, the record won't be much better. But there was a warlock killed in such a battle?ah, probably by accident. After all, warlocks are also human beings, and it is not outrageous for one to accidentally kill himself. Not to mention that there is such an uncontrollable factor as "stray bullets" in battle, it is not uncommon to fall to death on a flat road.

"Hah, you value it, but in retrospect, I really just participated in that operation for some empty slogans. Han continued. "I didn't even know the cause and effect, but I just participated in it. When I fled to the Banshee's Gate, I was excited and scared. But looking back today, I found that there was no anger at all about this matter. Because in any case, this is a battlefield battle, and both sides are fighting with all their might. I can't resent my opponent for the heavy casualties of my comrades. Because even if I were in the other person's shoes, I would have done the same thing. In fact, after that, I retained my identity as a Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance, not so much because I still held on to my ideals, but because it would bring convenience to me, and many of the Brotherhoods in the Clan would take care of me. This may also be why I, an outsider of unknown origin, was able to become a small captain in the local army of the Banshee Gate. ”

"Uh, that, why are you telling me this?" the middle-aged warlock was even more confused. What are you talking about all this old stuff? Maybe he's stalling for time, but now there's no need to stall. If nothing else, at least the fighting has not broken out yet. Of course, if the battle has already broken out, then he will not have time to chat, and he will probably kill the one in front of him directly.

"Today," Han suddenly changed the subject. "We caught a few wild beasts from the wild and wanted to sacrifice them to the gods. To be honest, it took a lot of effort. He said calmly. But our gods do not accept such twisted creatures as sacrifices, so in order to keep the ritual going, we have to choose living sacrifices. ”
