————————————————

The terrain to the east of Crossbell is relatively flat, with only a few low hills, and the southeast side has not been fully developed, and an ancient forest has been preserved.

It took Mussel's team nearly two hours to finally reach an area southeast of Crossbell.

The monsters here became more and more violent and vicious, but as soon as they appeared, they were killed by the concentrated fire of Mussel's men. Therefore, this "berserk and vicious" is only said in terms of appearance and desire to attack.

This forest is uninhabited, after all, Crossbell is a small autonomous prefecture that has just been autonomous for less than 70 years, and even though the economy has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, urban construction cannot be completed overnight, especially the development of new urban areas or villages. Therefore, it is rare that there is no tragic murder here, and it still maintains the basic appearance of a dense ancient forest.

"Oh? It's almost there. ”

Just when both Lloyd and Estelle were a little puzzled as to why they were here, Mussel finally spoke in that mysterious tone.

"It's something you can't see in the ordinary world—it's a stunning sight! Since you didn't take my Mira just now, then let me show my real skills, and take it as a reward. Anyway, you don't think of me as an imaginary enemy in your minds. ”

Mussel said indifferently, and at the same time, the metal armor of his left hand clicked and loosened, and three short sticks fell out of the armor that had tightly wrapped his arm, and Mussel borrowed it with his left hand and joined them together, which was his usual weapon: the guiding spear.

Ahaha, what to say? This serious personality reminds me of that guy. Lloyd thought to himself. He also often takes "kindness will be rewarded" as a program of action. But the imaginary enemy ...... I really haven't thought about it, I don't know if you have thought about it?

Estelle didn't think about it that much, the nameless fires that he had just mocked him for believing in the devil vanished after seeing the strange weapon, Estelle asked curiously, and Mussel did not shy away from explaining it to her.

"Report, preparations have been completed, please instruct."

While the three of them were chatting hotly, a combatant of the Karuman Consortium ran over from the forest, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, and saluted Mussel straight.

"No need to salute! I'll go over it. ”

Mussel nodded a little displeased, and the soldier who received the answer hurried back to his post. Mussel said to the two, "Let's get started, anyway, let's go first." There will really be a demon in the future, but I am not more alarmed. Hurricanes are much scarier than demons. ”

As he spoke, he licked his upper lip, and his face gradually showed an irrepressible look of excitement, and his cheeks became slightly red. It seems that no matter how lively he usually is, Mussel Gerald is a bloody warrior in his bones. If it weren't for the kind of person who saw fighting as the meaning of life, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with Karumen Haas.

Like Arras's side, it was as if someone had drawn a magic circle in the dense forest, and there was a sense of discord that was out of step with the overall atmosphere. If someone were to observe it from above, I would probably be able to see it at a glance. As for why it still exists to this day, first of all, it is because Crossbell does not have an air force, and the empire and the republic are only lined up at their respective borders, and no one wants to settle down first. The guide airship used for transportation and carrying passengers has to be too high, flying high means a wide field of vision, and at the same time, it also means that the clarity is lower.

In addition, this is an inaccessible and undeveloped area, and no one has discovered this discordant magic array.

There was a guide bomb in the center of the magic circle. The human-sized Guided Bomb is the same as Arras's side, limiting the range of the explosion to the bottom, and is mainly used to destroy the magic circle. This kind of ancient thing, Mussel is not good at as Arras.

Explode.

The firelight swept the earth all over the sky.

The fighters of the surrounding Karumen consortium opened fire mercilessly.

The sound of a bullet sinking into nothing.

And in the smoke, sure enough, there was a demonic silhouette.

Seeing that the demon had no tendency to move, Mussel sighed and raised his hand to order the combatants to stop attacking.

In the smoke screen, the image of the demon gradually became clear, it was something similar to an egg, seeing that the bullet was no longer coming, the egg showed subtle traces, it turned out to be a pair of huge wing skeletons, and the wings were received behind the back, and everyone saw its face clearly.

The lower body is somewhat like a lion, but the tail is like a leopard, in short, it is the body of a big cat carnivore, and the position that should be the head is indeed the trunk of a human being. Red-skinned, with four arms on the back, one pair crossed on the chest, which seems to be for decoration, and the other pair holds a spear and a sword, looking at the luster, all bone products.

His head resembles that of an ancient knight wearing a helmet, but if you look closely, you can see that the baffles on his head are all bones growing from his head!

However, this demon is not very large, about the same as a normal human on a horse.

Lloyd was sure in just one look that this thing must be a demon. How could there be such a strange species in the world, and it is too strange to say that it is a new breed of Warcraft. And most importantly...... The disgusting strange feeling that was wrapped around his body, Lloyd subconsciously held the double spinning stick to his chest, ready to guard against his attacks.

Estelle clenched the stick in her hand as well. Neither she nor Lloyd accepted the weapons of the Karuman Consortium. Because of the position of the Guerrilla Association, they decided to make as few trouble as possible for the Association. As for Randy, the Karumon consortium wasn't prepared to take care of it. Just looking at the results, everyone is still happy.

Strangely, this demon didn't come up and attack indiscriminately, like the demon on Arras's side. It didn't even have killing intent, just quietly observing its surroundings, and suddenly it noticed Mussel, and then it stood up on its four beast legs, and the human torso bowed slightly to him, and then, put on a fighting stance, looking like it was preparing for a one-on-one duel.

Mussel raised an eyebrow and his mouth gurgling, looking like he still liked the demon. It seems that this demon has quite a lot of intelligence, and looking at his posture of holding a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, he is afraid that he is still a strong enemy, how can this not make him excited?

"He still looks stylish! Hey, don't make a move. ”

Mussel licked his lips, the spear in his left hand, and the blue-blue energy ejected out like the blade of an entity's spear. The demon nodded to him, and the muscles of the beast's legs tensed, followed by a dash, the bone spear in his hand caught under his ribs, charging like an ancient knight.

Mussel didn't back down, he was short, Lloyd thought he was a person who focused on agility, or was a speed type like Yu Tatsumi, but he didn't expect him to dodge or dodge, and the guiding spear in his hand went towards his bone spear, and it was a hard hit.

With a smug smile on his face, Mussel took a deep breath and changed the power of the guiding spear. I saw that the short blade that was originally like a dagger suddenly became sharp and long, like an awl, and struck at the demon's bone spear.

Mussel's guiding spear was a hind hand, aimed at the side of the bone spear, and the guiding spear was extremely sharp, only to hear a soft sound of snort, and actually cut off the bone spear. Confrontation is what Mussel likes, but he is not stupid enough to fight with others, he is not the brute of Arras, if he really fights for strength, he is afraid that he will be swept away by this demon all of a sudden.

The demon also didn't expect that the bone spear he was proud of would be cut off so easily. This bone spear was a part of his body, and the blood vessels in the broken mouth rushed out of blood. It didn't care, and continued to sprint. Based on his weight and speed, even if he didn't have a bone spear, he could crush Mussel into a pulp.

"Astelle!" Lloyd also discovered this, and he didn't care about his identity or status, whether he should meddle or not, and it was not his style to see death or not save him. Estelle also noticed this and nodded, the two were just about to act, but they didn't expect Mussel to stop the two of them.

"What a good old man, it's all said it's no problem!"

Mussel's voice didn't have the slightest sense of imminent urgency, and he saw him return the spear to its original shape.

"I didn't want to use it."

The demon's body had rushed in front of Mussel.

"But ah, thank you for caring about me!!"

Mussel's voice suddenly became serious, and his left leg kicked the ground hard and the whole person jumped backwards, while his left arm pushed the guiding spear forward, aiming for ...... Ground?

Yes, the target is the ground. I saw that with Mussel's backward jump, the blade of the guiding spear actually turned into two pieces, one red and one blue.

"Close your eyes!"

That's the last thing Lloyd and Estelle heard.

Subconsciously, they followed orders. Of course, it was more of a worry about seeing the miserable sight of the little man's lively man splattered on the spot.

Then, there was a blazing stream of heat on his face, his skin was scratched in many places, and his ears could not hear any sound, which should have caused his ears to be temporarily deaf due to some loud sound.

That's how Lloyd felt.

Exactly, what happened?

Even with his eyes closed, Lloyd could feel the dazzling white light that his eyelids couldn't stop. If you hadn't closed your eyes, I'm afraid you would have been blinded by this white light, right?

And, is Estelle okay? No, no, calm down Lloyd Bannings, she's a skilled guerrilla, and if I'm fine, she'll be fine.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and Lloyd subconsciously opened his eyes, it was Mussel. Looking at him, there is no appearance of the end of the war. The red suit on his body was almost burned black, his face seemed to be coated with a layer of gray charcoal, the armor on his left hand was almost completely shattered, and the guide spear was even more miserable, and only the front force generation device was left......

"What about demons? Was it killed? ”

With Lloyd's words, Mussel quickly pointed to his ear and waved his hand, indicating that he could not hear him at all. It seems that the loud noise just now also caused his ears to temporarily lose function.

Lloyd hurriedly confirmed the surroundings, where there was still the shadow of the demon. No, now instead of shocking this ...... It should be shocking to the situation on the battlefield.

It was a hemispherical pit, as if some behemoth had dug a piece of the ground away. The diameter of the pit is not large, but the depth is visually as deep as 40 sub-distances, and the incision is flat. As for the demons, they are long gone.

Could this be...... The power of that stab on the ground just now?!

What kind of power is this!

Lloyd wanted to grab Mussel by the collar and tell him to give it all up, but now his ears still couldn't hear it. The combatants of the Karumen Consortium also rounded around and lined up again behind Muselle.

I don't know how long it took. Lloyd's ears finally recovered.

"What's that blow......"

"Oh, it's not convenient for me to tell you the specific principle, in short, that's my killer weapon, and it's also the strongest function of the Guiding Spear."

Mussel casually answered Lloyd's question as he hung a spare heavy machine gun to his chest. After all, the Guiding Spear is a prototype of the Karuman Foundation, and so far it has only been in the hands of Mussel. Now that the weapon was damaged, he had to use a heavy machine gun to get together first.

However, he was originally a soldier, and this kind of firearm was more intimate to him than the guide spear.

"What the hell is that power trying to be used for!" Lloyd's face was very ugly. He knew about the bad behavior of the Karuman Consortium, which is why he was more worried about "what would happen to the Guiding Spear if it attacked Crossbell".

"Oh, that's what you can say. It was for the Legion, which was originally intended to be able to annihilate the enemy's armored legion with a single blow. After all, the war has begun to obsolete these old weapons, if not to reinvent them. ”

Mussel checked the feel of the heavy machine gun in his arms, tested a shuttle of bullets, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned back to look at Lloyd.

"Officer Lloyd, one yard to one yard, I accept your help, that's why I will reveal my own hole cards to you so early. If you don't want to be attacked, don't provoke us. Our attitude is absolutely neutral, as long as you don't come to trouble, we won't take the initiative to trouble you. ”

Mussel said very seriously, if a person of his character says something seriously, then his persuasiveness will be increased several times.

"What I can reveal to you a little is that the attack just now is called the 'Collapse Guiding Force Jump' phenomenon, and you have a little girl there who understands guiding power. Tell her, and you'll understand. We're not up to Cross Bell to deal with. Mussel continued to speak solemnly, and he glanced at Estelle thoughtfully, as if trying to persuade her to come, but then gave up.

"In short, our Warcraft Sweep will continue. We'll clean up the battlefield here, too. Officer Lloyd and Miss Estelle, it looks like you're not in the mood to go on with us. ”

"Lloyd......"

Estelle looked at this young man who was a little distracted worriedly, and she couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart.

The power of the blow just now was clearly beyond her expectations. In her heart, the strongest person is probably her father, Cassius Bright, who is known as the master of the Juggernaut. And Muselle's blow, in terms of attack power, is obviously more destructive than Cassius's all-out mystery.

What a crazy weapon that those war maniacs invented!

————————————

Estelle and Lloyd left.

Lloyd, in particular, was eager to fly back to Crossbell with his wings and give Theo or Hexu a detailed description of the damned spear's performance, and let them explain it to him. Then inform the section chief that the top management must be aware of the horror of the Karuman consortium as soon as possible.

With such a powerful weapon, it is impossible to be without drawbacks.

With that said, Mussel's left arm seems to have been hidden in the armor. It should be to prevent this trick from hurting yourself in turn, right? No, it's not the time for me to mess around. Let's go back and talk to everyone.

————————————————

On the other side, Mussel felt the qi of the two people getting farther and farther apart, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he pressed his left hand hard. The combatant who had been waiting for a long time immediately handed over the healing spray, and Mussel didn't care about any manners, and directly ripped off the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the bloodied left hand inside, and the skin was almost all purple and black.

"It's really power and safety can't be both, it's better to adjust the guiding spear when you go back."

Mussel smiled wryly.

"Besides, I have to complain to the boss, if I hadn't run faster, maybe I would have confessed here...... What the hell, you've got to ask me to find a reason to show off this new feature......"

Mussel thought dissatisfiedly. Although he is cheerful and defenseless, he is a battle-hardened warrior, and those who can survive the battlefield will unconsciously leave a hole card for themselves. As for why Musel chose to reveal the strongest hole card of the guiding spear, it was also because of the explanation of the Karumen consortium.

Just now it was just to deter Lloyd, the guiding spear has not yet been developed, and the function just now is only a new function in the experiment, and even Mussel himself did not know that it would be so powerful...... Therefore, Mussel himself is also embarrassed. If he knew that the description of "powerful and terrible" was like this, he would definitely put on heavy armor and try it again......

And, thinking about the guiding spear with only a small core left, Mussel silently wept - how much money does this have to be deducted to make up for it, can it be regarded as work damage, this is the task given to me by the boss......

But now is not the time to think about that. Mussel selectively diverted his attention and shouted to his subordinates: "Hurry up and form a team, the first goal has been achieved, and the Warcraft Cleanup activity continues." ”
