Chapter 54: Response
Alan regained his normal state, unloaded the armed bone spurs from his tail, and sprinted quickly like an arrow off the string, at this time he remembered the teleportation scroll that Xia Zuo used as a common consumable. xS520.
Rounding the battlefield where several scavenging sharks were wandering, the surrounding dark sea did not affect Allen's direction. By the time he approached the trench, it was almost an hour later, and he hoped that there would be enough time.
The cold light was hazy embedded in the bottom of the sea, and the trenches looked no different from usual...... Well, today is the first night in the Miller trenches, and it just looks normal anyway.
Alan ran to the scout's debriefing, and to his surprise, there were two mermaids, one taking a nap, and the other was standing guard very responsibly, and it seemed that the trenches were still not relaxed even when they were celebrating.
"It was reported that the enemy forces were found to be in abnormal movements, and thousands of people were assembled under the island where the enemy troops were originally stationed." Alan pulled out his detective evidence.
The little brother standing guard really looked stern, "I will notify you immediately, please keep an eye on the movement." With that, he swam away, looking very anxious indeed.
Alan flicked his tail, not quite understanding the final order, did he want to continue to go to the battlefield to reconnoitre? However, because the original mission was just an ordinary patrol, Eren did not have the equipment of the Scout, especially the special contact stone. And...... Looking at the other mermaid who was still sleeping, was she drunk? Alan shrugged the tip of his nose, not smelling the leaves.
It's a little weird...... Alan looked around, quietly, if he encountered an enemy attack, he should have reacted by now.
Regardless of whether the rules allowed it or not, Alan immediately swam in, and the mermaid who seemed to be asleep was not sleeping at all...... He was no longer breathing.
There's something wrong with that swimming merfolk.
Try to recall the knowledge that was forced into your brain not long ago, Alarm Crystal! Where, where, Alan went around the entire outpost, found nothing, and finally stopped in front of the mermaid who had died quietly, Alan whispered sorry, and then moved him away, and sure enough, the alarm crystal was found behind the mermaid.
*! The crystal was destroyed by an external force and shattered!
What to do? Alan walked around the room with a blank face, and decided to wake up the others!
Eren rushed out at once, but crashed into a soft body.
"S-Alan?" Vincent rubbed his stomach with a dishful face, "The task is complete, what's the urgency?" ”
"No, it's a big problem......" Alan looked at Vincent anxiously, and then told him all about his findings and the outpost's anomaly.
Vincent's expression slowly changed from leisurely at the beginning to solemnity, "I'll go find the spare crystal, and you immediately go to the largest black building underneath, where the major general is, and resist directly when you encounter suspicious obstacles on the way." ”
After calmly commanding, Vincent patted Allen on the shoulder, "Can you do it?" ”
"Mission, Captain!" Alan gave a decent military salute, and the panic in his eyes disappeared long before he knew it.
A blue hair ornament was thrown over, and Alan hurriedly caught it, looking at Vincent suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
“…… A dedicated liaison stone for the Scout. Vincent looked at Alan expressionlessly, and found that the black fish had been tied to his hair carelessly, and the captain's eyes flashed, "Stay safe." ”
Alan nodded, and immediately swam to the place Vincent had said, where meetings or banquets were often held, and where the major general rested. The victory of a counteroffensive has made everyone relax a lot, but it is more likely that it was all a ploy of the subman.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I went to the front, Allen swam faster, no matter what aspect he was in, Miller's trench could not be lost.
Alan also met a lot of other companions along the way, and it seemed that there was no difference between normal and usual, but the overly normal atmosphere was contrary to the harmony, no matter what, there must be no accident in the Miller trenches.
At the door, Alan was stopped. "Fresh faces?" The merfolk raised their halberds on guard.
"There's an urgent report." Alan took out the proof, and the guard mermaid wanted to say something more, but suddenly fainted on the ground, a small cluster of bubbles generated by rapid movement burst in the back of the mermaid's neck, and the bubbles burst, Alan helped the stunned mermaid and put the person in a safe and hidden place next to him. There was no longer time to explain the procedure, not to mention the fact that there was a high probability that an unknown number of suspicious persons were mixed in the trenches.
As soon as Alan swam out of the room, Morris woke up, followed by some hurried knocks on the door, Morris rubbed his forehead and opened the bone door, "What's the matter?" Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, Morris's tone was quite normal.
However, before Allen could speak, the enemy attack warning signal sounded, Morris's pupils shrank, and his whole body momentum instantly increased, obviously he also thought of the crisis he was about to face, "Follow me and explain to me clearly on the way." "He wasn't going to take this little guy who suddenly appeared here as a coincidence.
Sure enough, after listening to Allen's methodical description, Morris stared at Allen for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder meaningfully and said, "Good job." ”
Alan didn't feel anything, but he found that it seemed that the merfolk in the army liked to pat other people's shoulders?
"Follow me and watch well." Morris dropped this sentence and walked head-on to a few captains who had not yet figured it out, and then the thick tail suddenly flung towards a red-haired mermaid, and the sharp bone spurs stabbed mercilessly into the mermaid's soft abdomen, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and several people present were stunned by a somewhat familiar scene in front of them, you must know that this is the usual move of the mermaid when facing the enemy, and countless enemy soldiers on the battlefield are pierced and torn apart by bone spurs every day, but this extremely domineering weapon has never been pointed at its companions.
The medical captain, who had a good relationship with the red-haired mermaid, opened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Morris with a painful expression.
"Take a good look, this guy still doesn't know you." With a wave of one hand, Morris surrounded the dead red-haired mermaid with an ice-blue light mask, and countless translucent small bugs visible to the naked eye gnawed at the light mask, and more and more small bugs burrowed out of the red-haired merman's body.
"Tsk." Morris increased his magic output in disgust to prevent the bugs from breaking through the light mask, he pursed his lips, and the violent magic fluctuations flashed away, and then a large piece of ice crystal half floated in the air, and Morris fanned up with his tail without hesitation, and the ice crystal shattered into small pieces and floated to the surface of the sea.
"Now, we have an unknown number of such creatures within us, this is not our companion, it is a monster that has been charged by the enemy, and the subman does not know where to transfer the troops, and is gathering on the battlefield."
"Immediately, put away your unnecessary worries, pour out your anger and murderous anger on the battlefield, and the captains will obey the order!"
"Leave two groups of medical defense, and the rest will be covered by the strong royal to follow the infantry in the White Beach formation, and the whole team will attack the rear of the formation, ready to stand by at any time. The illusion control is restored to a first-level state, and the alienation is on standby in the trenches. The reconnaissance team reports the battle situation at any time according to the dot matrix branch...... Stay safe. ”
"Now, now, carry out the deployment!"
"Yes, Major General!" All the merfolk no longer have the energy to remember the life that has just passed, and there is a greater enemy in front of them that threatens their lives.
There are no ordinary people in the army that have experienced the baptism of war, and when the news has not completely spread, there have been several abnormal mermaids who have been accused, and they have long been accustomed to all kinds of emergencies, even if they are still sleeping soundly one second, and the next second the war begins, and the mermaid warriors are all perfectly armed from the inside to the outside.
In these years-long wars fought on the bottom of the sea, wars that have never been known, the strength and tenacity shown by the merfolk broke the world's cognition, because they are mermaids in Brussels, and they have assembled almost all the armies of mutant merfolk, and there is no possibility that they cannot win in the sea!
As a newcomer who had never cooperated with other teams, the Scout's dot matrix arrangement did not have Allen's place at the beginning, and Vincent, who came over later, swallowed what he wanted to say after seeing the unconcealable light in Allen's eyes, "Check the movement on the sea with all your might, and know that Subman was originally a terrestrial creature." ”
But in fact, after being stabbed to the bottom of the ship by the mermaid a few times, Subman gave up on breaking through the line from the sea. And with the current technology in Mann, no, even in the entire Pigg Continent, a navigator that can defend against the attack of mutant merfolk has not yet been born. Of course, Allen, who had just arrived here, didn't know any of these things. After he carefully memorized Vincent's instructions, he reinstalled the bone spur in his tail, received the Scout's standard equipment, and swam to his assigned post.
Seeing that the figure of Alan above his head was getting smaller and smaller, the worry in Vincent's red eyes was slightly reduced, but it was more of a contradiction sinking in the depths.
The place that was about to become the battlefield was a large seabed covered with black reefs, and the white beach where Morris had put the private on standby was a flat area covered with snow-white sand in front of Miller's trench, and it was the only white in the entire submarine plain. Now that the white had been stained with blood, Subman's army was fighting sooner than they had imagined, and the battle had begun before the formation had been arranged.
At the same time, Allen, who had already swam to the surface of the sea, had already connected with the mermaid team stationed on the sea, and took a deep look at the bottom of the sea, Allen seemed to be able to see the battlefield below through the hundreds of meters of water, and finally he suppressed the inexplicable love in his eyes, and joined the mermaid who came to meet him with loyalty to the commander's order.
There are not many mermaid squads stationed on the sea, only a few hundred people, and they usually operate on the sea, using ships as the base of the team. After climbing on the boat, Alan realized that he was about to face the battlefield, no, no, no, please don't use the sacred word battlefield, Alan looked at the garrisons around the boat to admire the moon and eat barbecue expressionlessly, and the sudden change of painting style made him stunned for a moment, hey, there is a war below, is it really good to drink and have fun on the sea?
It's been a long time since I've been drinking, so please leave me a drink.
But as the protagonist, there is always an anomaly that hits one in 10,000, eh? How is this teaser-like thing a little familiar.
