Chapter 036: The Base Inhabited by the Great Snake

"Big ...... Is this really okay, my lord?"

Fili, who changed into a bandit costume and infiltrated the viper camp, asked the dragon envoy beside her tremblingly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wen Dao, who was questioned, was also wearing the clothes that he had pulled out of the bandit before, and the terminal bracelet and beam gun were carefully stored. Perhaps thanks to the previous training and grinding of the rich workplace, Wen Dao's attitude seems to be far more relaxed than that of female knights.

"Don't worry, they've all entered the camp, and even if there is a problem, they can only move forward. ”

Speaking in a calm tone that was difficult to reassure, Wen Dao raised his leg and stepped past a drunk bandit who had fallen to the ground, and looked around.

Judging from the previous reconnaissance, it seems that the Viper bandits have not used this imperial base very well, and most of the men and horses are stationed in the school field in front of the fortress. The school yard is divided into two floors according to the mountain, the upper school Yang is parked with more than a dozen armed warships, and the lower school yard is the chaotic camp of the bandits.

The Viper bandits were originally a rabble lacking military literacy, and the fact that they were in a secret base made them relax their vigilance to the greatest extent, and Wen Dao and Fili changed into bandit costumes and walked all the way from the door, not even encountering half of the cross-examination sentry post. The bandits either get drunk, or gather around the campfire to eat seafood, or play with their strange tricks. In the space filled with chaos and turbidity, Wen Dao whispered to Fili.

"I bet these guys never thought they'd be kicked in the door one day, were they?"

"Big, adult......" The innocent Fili seemed to be very unaccustomed to men's close whispering, and instantly blushed to the root of her ears, but this time she finally didn't throw Wen Dao out again. "What are we going to do now?"

"That's a good question. Wen Dao's gaze moved to the steps ahead. "In order to ensure General Matyuya's operation, we are going to 'freeze' those ships. ”

"Frozen, frozen, what to do?"

"Well, you'll find out later. ”

Wen Dao sold off a little and led the female knight towards the steps. At the corner of the stairs, there were several bandits with swords in hand, and from the point of view, it was impossible to get around. A sharp cold light flashed in Fili's eyes, and she reached out to touch the silver spear behind her back, but she was held down by Wen Dao.

"Wait, don't rush. ”

Even if Fili's strength can suppress those bandits, starting a war in the enemy camp is definitely the best of the best strategies. Fumidao stopped the Pegasus Knight in a deep voice, and drew her gaze to the top of the stairs.

"Look over there, they seem to be fiddling with something. ”

Sitting at the top of the stairs, a bandit who looked like a small boss was fiddling with a card-shaped information terminal with his head down. The terminal looks like the creation of cheap technology, and at the fiddling of the little boss, it quickly projects holograms of a team of hot girls scratching their heads on stage. Accompanied by rhythmic music, the bloody dance of the girls immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding bandits.

"Boss, are you done? Oh oh! This is the girl of the Empire!"

"Look at the long legs, look at the waist pole...... Wow Ka Ka Ka !

"If you can hey these girls all night, Lao Tzu will be satisfied with death in this life!"

The bandits came to the projector with Brother Pig's face one after another, and they were all long.

“…… A group of shameless stinky men. ”

Pegasus Knight's face tensed and spat out words of disdain, and one of the stinky men in his companion could only smile wordlessly. In any case, thanks to these bandits who had temporarily degenerated into lower body animals, Wendao and Fili were able to carefully bypass the side and come to the upper school floor without alarming anyone.

There are more than a dozen armed warships moored in Xiaoyangli, in addition to the Empire-made Boar-class landing craft, there are also a few empty motorcycles that have been painted with bells and whistles, which seem to be used to buy small props from the bandits.

It was now approaching dusk, and most of the bandits had gathered in the camp below to have fun, and there was no other figure in the mooring. The rays of the setting sun hit the landing craft and cast a crisscrossing of light and shadow on the school grounds. Leaving aside the scum of the bandits, these war machines built with the hammer of the empire and condensed with blood and fire do exude a terrifying coercion.

In the wordless silence, Wen Dao heard the low sigh of the female knight beside him.

(What a waste...... )

Wen Dao also shook his head in his heart, but at the same time, doubts also welled up.

The Boar-class landing craft are armed vehicles that can only be used in the atmosphere, and are not capable of interstellar navigation. In other words, these landing craft must have been transported to Golumbel by other means. When it comes to "other means", Wen Tao immediately thinks of the transport ship anchored on the lake of Leubek City.

When intercepted by Ryuji, only a third of the cargo hold on the transport ship was loaded with cargo, and most of the rest was empty. It is reasonable to speculate that the transport ship was supposed to carry the landing craft to secretly land in the Grumbel, and after the landing craft was assigned to the Viper bandits, the empty transport ship was loaded with the captured Grumbel Treasure and sold back to the interstellar black market.

With the unique ecosystem of Gorumbell, it is not surprising that exotic animals can sell on the black market at a price comparable to that of gold, so it is not surprising that poachers will take the plunge. However, what made Wen Dao wonder was that for those interstellar hunters, there were ways to hunt rare beasts, why did they have to choose to hire local thugs, or even airlift imperial arms and other painstaking forms? Even if it was to hide people's eyes, it seemed too deliberate, as if they were trying to hide it from someone.

At first, Wen Dao thought it was just a simple interstellar poaching incident, but the history engraved in the Hall of Forgetfulness drew the smoke of the empire and the dragons, and now it seems that there is more fog behind this poaching incident. The only person who can answer the question is probably the "colonel" who doesn't know where he is at the base.

This battle must end with the capture of the colonel. Wen Tao confirms this.

But before that, Wen Dao has to find a way to deal with the armed warships that may cause trouble in front of him.

Wen Dao's gaze looked to the left and right, and finally landed on a warship with fierce horns painted on the wall, and made a "go see" gesture to Fili. The scout knight who received the order exhaled in a concentrated manner, then lowered his body and approached the warship in a silent manner.

Wen Dao watched as Fili put her ear to the armor plate and listened, then nodded back at him after a moment.

"Very well, let's get started. ”

Turning on the controllable force field, Wen Dao snapped his fingers, and a cube composed of light filaments immediately appeared in the air.

Under the stunned gaze of the Pegasus Knight, Fumi-Tao moved his hands and pulled the cube into a long chopstick-like shape.

Keeping his index and middle fingers together, Wen Dao aimed at the battleship's engine as he controlled the gap between the matrix through the engine blades, carefully advancing it to the shaft of the engine's core. Carefully feeling the subtle resistance coming from his fingertips, Wen Dao's eyes flashed with a sharp black light, and then he suddenly pulled his hands apart.

At the same time, there was a metal-twisting click inside the engine, accompanied by a slight cracking sound.

"It's done. ”

The elongated matrix used brute force to destroy the highly sophisticated core mechanism of the battleship's engine, but there was no problem with it from the outside. Wen Tao confirmed that his control over the force field had increased again, and he quickly retracted the force field and made a successful gesture to Fili.

"Is this all there is to it?"

"Of course, if you can't pass the security check, you can't start it, and those guys don't have the ability to make emergency repairs. ”

Wen Dao said confidently.

This tactic of disabling the landing craft by destroying the engine to block security and disable the landing craft is actually the experience taught by a certain battle post in the base camp, the difference is only that the opponent uses a miniature explosive bomb, while Wen Tao uses a force field matrix. Thanks to the enthusiastic professors of the mercenary predecessors, Wen Tao knows even more about the characteristics of the wild boar class than its designers.

Each Boar-class landing ship has one drive engine on the left and one on its right, and destroying only one of them can disable it. After successfully suppressing the battlefield, at least half of the ships can be repaired with a simple build-up - a tactic known as "minimally invasive surgery" that would have required at least one latent squad to complete. However, with the Viper Bandits, who are not even a ragtag army, as their opponents, Wen Dao and Fili can barely cope with the cooperation.

"If it goes well, you can grab at least half of the landing craft?"

Wen Dao's eyes lit up as he looked at the tarmac, a raid band of landing craft and marine knights had taken shape in his mind. However, just as Wen Dao was about to continue harvesting the spoils, a fierce chill suddenly hit his back.

(What? This feels...... )

Like a frog being targeted by a snake, Wen Dao's movements instantly stiffened.

The gaze that came from nowhere, cold and pure, seemed to be the crystallization of highly condensed malice. An indescribable chill seeped from his back to his throat, and in an instant, countless goosebumps exploded on Wen Dao's body, but when he looked back, that sight suddenly disappeared.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Wen Dao, who was sweating profusely, Fei Li next to her cast a surprised gaze.

“…… Don't you feel anything?"

Judging from Fili's confused expression, it seemed that he was the only one who felt the chill in his gaze. Wen Dao looked down at the five fingers that were still trembling, and it was really hard to tell himself that it was a nervous false alarm. There's something unimaginable hidden in this base, and it's hardly a good sign for this raid.

For the cautious Wendao, he really didn't like the uncertainties in the plan, but before he could hesitate to inform the female general to cancel the battle, a loud bang had already opened in the Viper camp.

"General, here they go!"

"So fast!?"

Wen Tao looked at the school field below in surprise, only to see the land knights led by Alek, rushing out of the forest with swords and shields in their hands, shouting and launching an attack on the viper camp! Like a big snake that was stepped on its tail, the originally silent camp boiled in an instant!

"Too fast, at least give me five more minutes......"

Looking at the bandits who had picked up their weapons at the steps, a cold sweat broke out on Wen Dao's forehead.
