CHAPTER XXV
Where is the most convenient place for a vampire to hunt?
The answer, of course, is the battlefield. www.biquge.info At least, that's what the vampire who had just gone to deliver information to Hitler as an envoy to the underworld thought so. There is no order on the battlefield, death is commonplace, and it should be the most suitable place for a creature like a vampire that needs human blood to feed itself. So now, having completed the task given to him by the underworld, the female vampire - here for a moment, just call her "Jane" according to the American wanted notice - has made her non-stop to Jerusalem, the land of right and wrong.
Of course, vampires are supposed to be able to keep blood slaves in captivity, but Jane doesn't like the traditional method of passing on a life span longer than hers. She likes to hunt and eat humans, especially the mental pleasure that she can have when hunting, and blood is a trivial thing to her in comparison. She's not keen on making the same kind of thing, either—for her, a first embrace might be like a first kiss, and she has to find a slave that suits her well enough to give it away. What's more, to ask her to turn those scared cowards who were hunted down and killed into their own kind? Forget it, the only fate for the prey is death.
The time of vampires is over, long since they had to reveal their existence and use fear to prevent humanity from approaching and encroaching on their sphere of influence. Jane can still remember the time when the vampire family was even able to go head-to-head with the human royal family, but now......
It's pointless to reminisce about the past and watch predators kill each other and then hunt for it. Touching her lips, Jane turned around and greeted the person who had already found out, "Hey, Your Highness the Paladin, I'm sure you're not here to hunt me this time, are you?" ”
"Please don't call me that title again, Miss Vampire. Oh, it's supposed to be Miss Jane at this time, right? Closing the book in his hand, Alston pressed his hat, "It was not my intention to encircle the Scarlett family. It's a real pleasure to meet here. Did you come to Jerusalem this time to forage for food, as before? ”
"Please call this hunting, Mr. Ylan. Don't call such a noble act so vulgar. Her face changed slightly, and Jane licked her fangs, "Or, would you be interested in playing with me?" ”
"No, I don't want to cause a dispute. And if you cause a dispute, it won't do you any good. Smiling and shaking his head, Auston put the book in the handbag he had been carrying, "I'm here on a different mission, and I'm only here to talk because you seem to want to talk to me." By the way, if I'm interested, I also have a friend who participated in the campaign as a peripheral soldier in the siege of the Scarlett family. Aren't you going to see him? ”
"Well, it's true that there are fewer and fewer people living from that time to now. If there is, you should check it out. Touching his chin, he thought to himself, "Wait until I'm tired of staying in Jerusalem." Looks like this is going to be a good appetite for me. ”
"Then I still hope that you can do it as soon as possible, that old friend of mine doesn't have much left to live."
"You can't just think of a way? It's such a waste to die with such a toy that you can talk about and reminisce about the past. Glancing disapprovingly at Auston, Jane shook her head, "How's his pedigree?" If I qualify, I might consider giving him my first hug. Well, it's time for me to give out my first hug......"
"It's better for you to investigate this kind of thing yourself. By the way, let me ask a little impolitely," Turning suddenly, Auston pointed in one direction with the staff of civilization in his hand, "The two over there should be your enemies, right?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet pierced the air and shot at Jane's head. Thankfully, thanks to Auston's increased vigilance, the vampire barely dodged the attack. Seeing that the ranged attack didn't work, the enemy over there immediately rushed up and struck Jane's bottom plate with a lower kick. As soon as his body was retracted, he rolled and distanced himself from the other party, and the latter's face became even more ugly: "Damn American ghost, I knew that I would have killed you in Texas five years ago." ”
"This sentence should be my line." Knowing that he couldn't be careless in dealing with this vampire, he quickly discussed tactics with his comrades in his mind, and the American special agent shook his arms vigorously, making it change into the form of his most customary knife, "Not being able to kill you in Texas is my and Sophia's biggest regret." Have you thought about how you will die, vampire? ”
"I was killed? You're a fool who is nothing and looks as weird as a pirate? No more kidding. With a sneer, Jane reached out and tapped her neck slightly, "Ackerman Adams, I know your oil won't taste too good, but I'd love to tear your tattered body apart right now." ”
"It's up to you to do it."
Slowly lowering the chassis, Ackerman replied.

"What's going on again, my dear friend?" Gently slicing the steak on the plate with a knife, Christian looked tentatively at Dr. Allen, who was sighing across the table, "It seems that every time you and I meet, you always have a sad face. Are you using me as your personal psychiatrist? ”
"It's not my fault, dear Christian. You have to know how much pressure I have to endure in my role. Taking a sip of the red wine on the table, Alan was still wearing a white coat. His face was slightly reddened, and he looked a little drunk, "The Führer trusts me, so I have to worry about whether I have lived up to that trust. The people of Yuedu are always watching the interests of the empire, and I must protect all this......"
In my opinion, it is better to have a Guardian like you. With a sneer in his heart, Christian quietly ate a piece of steak: "So, what happened again?" I believe that it should be a pleasure to carry out the work of daily duties for one's beloved empire. What is it that bothers you so much? ”
"I don't know if I should say it, friend." With a visibly distressed look, Alan scratched his hair, "I should keep the Empire's secrets. But it's such a headache, maybe I need someone to help me. My assistants are all rice buckets, and they don't ...... at all I had no idea how stressed I was......"
"Relax, Alan. If even you fall ill, many of the affairs of the empire will stop. ”
"Stop? Not really, we're pretty much done......" muttered something that made Christian shudder, and Alan picked up the bottle again and filled his goblet with wine, "and the Führer asked for it early, as far as possible. Something is wrong, Christian...... Something really happened......"
"Big deal? What is it that makes our beloved Führer so eager to carry forward his plans? As soon as these words came out, Christian regretted it a little. He understands that although Alan has a very low emotional intelligence and is now in a drunken state, such an urgent question will still cause alarm. So, in order to make up for his small mistake, he added another sentence later, "Of course, if there are any secret matters involved, don't tell me." I'm not joining the Empire right now......"
"Don't say that, my dear friend! You just have to do it just to be able to work for the Empire without being suspicious! Suddenly putting his arm around Christian's shoulders, Alan shook his head vigorously, "Your merits and contributions are obvious to all!" Hmm, but this thing...... Maybe it doesn't matter, right? After all, I don't know where that thing is......"
"What? You're already a little drunk, Alan. Slowly pushing the other party away, Christian once again expressed his refusal, "And I also mentioned that I don't have access to the secrets you have access to......"
"Huh!? Of course not! You're so much more qualified than that damn guy at Evan! A name appeared on his lips that Christian had never heard before, and Allen's words began to grow a little swearing, "That old bastard with no hair on his head...... Only know that the precious funds of the empire are wasted! What is the use of his research? Nothing works! Everything in the empire is now provided and supported by our biogroup...... What's the use of a time machine put in that kind of person! ”
"Time machine!?" Almost exclaiming, Christian held up Alan, who looked like he was about to fall, "That's ...... Literally a time machine? ”
"Well, at least Yuedu's attitude should be like this. Only five people, including me, knew about it...... And the exact location is only known to Evan and the Führer......" the tongue has begun to grow, and Allen's voice trembles, "To make matters worse, there is reliable information that the time machine has been used...... It's been used! In other words, someone has traveled back from the future! And he knows everything the empire has in store for the future! We now have to find him like a needle in a haystack...... Haha, how could you find it......"
"Has anyone crossed over and back?" Shocked again, Christian slowly put Alan on the chair, "For the Empire, this is indeed a terrible situation...... So who is that person? ”
"No, I don't know...... Hahaha, the stinky woman who came here still thinks that she can deceive the Führer and be able to be unaware...... Hahaha, how could it be! As soon as she arrives in Jerusalem, we will know! Don't forget, Arabs...... Arabs ......"
"Hmm, that means ......" Looking at Alan who was slowly falling asleep in his chair due to drunkenness, Christian stood up and looked out the window with a refined gaze, "Is the time traveler in Jerusalem...... We have to act as soon as possible. ”
――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line―――――――――――――――――――
“Hi,friend,I-save-you-again。 (Hey, friend, I saved you again.) )”
Scrapped up from the ground, the first thing Aidonnai did was to check if there was anything wrong with the rifle in his hand. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the thing he was living on here, he glanced at the eastern face who was smiling and outstretching his hand next to him, shook his head with a smile, and then slapped it in the same face: "Yes, my-friend." You-save-my-life-again。 (Yes, my friend.) You saved my life again. )”
Edonnay's new friend on the battlefield was odd—even if he could call him "friend" now, that wouldn't change the fact that he was weird. The sniper, who came from nowhere and was wearing a camouflage uniform he had never seen before, now seemed to be able to use only one arm. He first appeared in this position yesterday morning, when he proved his friendliness by firing the heavy machine guns of the Arabs opposite him with a single shot. He knows a little English, but as the word suggests, it's just a little bit, and even the most basic conversations might be fine, but if you go any deeper, you can't do it at all. Just now, the Arabs had carried out a surprise shelling, and if it hadn't been for the eccentric sniper who pushed Aydonnai into Bamburgh, the latter would have been crushed. And yesterday afternoon, a venom monitor lizard had already pushed Edonnai down, and the same strange friend saved his life with a bayonet in time to save the life of the monster transformed from the Komodo dragon. Therefore, Ai Donai believes that at least for a short time, he can still trust him.
He called himself Ge. Edonnay suspected that he was a mercenary who had become separated from his comrades. In addition, the latter didn't know anything about the other party: it wasn't that Ge didn't want to explain it, which could be seen from his expression. After all, there are many things that can't be explained by gestures alone.
After this round of attack, the losses on the defensive line were very large, even the squad leader of Ai Donnai was killed, and it was expected that the follow-up troops would fill the void in this defensive line again in ten minutes. The Israelis had already resisted a fierce attack from the opposite side for a day and a half, and Aydonai believed that at this momentum, they would be able to hold out for many more days and a half until the war was won.
Pulling out the kettle and taking two sips of water, Aidonnai saw his new friend in a daze, leaning on the cool-looking sniper rifle. patted the other party on the shoulder and handed over the compressed biscuit in his hand, but he received the other party's shaking head in reply. Feeling that this atmosphere was slightly awkward, Ai Donai scratched his head, and suddenly a sentence came out of nowhere: "Will-you-betray-us?" (Will you betray us?) )”
It may be a bit inappropriate to ask such a question at this time, but Ai Donai feels that this kind of thing is better to be clarified as soon as possible, and he also feels that the friend opposite is not like someone who will deliberately avoid this question. Obviously understanding what he meant, Ge lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If-I-must-betray-you, I-will-tell-you-before-that." I-promise。 (If I had to betray you, I would let you know before then.) I promise. )”
“A-HA,you-promise。 I-know。 (Aha, you promise, I see.) He threw a punch into the shoulder, and Adonnai smiled.
Then, there was a roar from outside that almost tore everyone's eardrums. His smile froze.
“What!?” The first time he realized what the body of that thing was, Ai Donnai's face immediately turned iron-blue. Grab his rifle and run out of Bamburgh, and he was greeted with a tragic picture: his comrades who had survived the bombardment and the Arab assault were fighting with a behemoth. The four-meter-tall creature with wings resembling a dragon completely obscured the sun, and it had a poor soldier in its mouth, and with a force on its upper and lower jaws, the corpse of the dead soldier fell in two and fell into the trench.
Gripped by the horror of the scene, when Adonnay came back to his senses, the rancid creature was only a meter away from him. He felt like he couldn't lift a gun at all, because the oppressive feeling of this huge monster was so strong that the only thing he could do was squeeze a few words out of his throat: "We...... We-need-support……”
"Boss, take a look at its head!"
The sudden roar from behind him cleared Aidonnai's mind a lot, even though he couldn't understand what the other party was shouting. Realizing that danger was imminent, he immediately wanted to fall down, but he heard a beautiful voice that was almost an illusion, and the monster disappeared with this little-sounding coquettish:
"Divine Skill [Heavenly Overlord Wind Divine Feet]!"
After several suddennesses in a row, Ai Donnai's consciousness really couldn't keep up with the change. He looked a little stunned at Ge, who spread out his sniper rifle on the ruins of Bamburgh and shot at the monster codenamed "Cold-Blooded God of War" on the other side with only his right arm, and the black-haired girl with a big bow and attacked in front of the monster. When he finally began to pick up his guns to help, the maiden's companions appeared—their presence contrasted with their enemies, making it seem not like a battlefield at all, but a scene from some fairy tale told to children.
“Are-they-angles? (Are they angels?) As he pulled the trigger for the first shot, Edonnay heard a stupid question come out of his mouth. What he didn't expect was that this stupid question was answered: "Of-course-not." They-are…… (Of course not.) Who are they...... )”
The one who answered was Ge. There was hesitation in his voice, but it quickly faded away: "...... my-friends。 The-ones-whom-I-can-give-my-six-to。 (My friend.) You can entrust the friend of the back. )”
