Chapter 19 Post-War Reporting
Distance, ten steps.
The living corpse gave up its suppression of the crowd, and the erupting flames spun sharply clockwise, surging towards Asker.
Asker turned to the right and continued to approach at a high speed while running clockwise around the living corpses.
At this rate, his longsword would be able to pierce the body of a living corpse before the flames could burn into him.
Distance, five steps.
The living corpse stopped the flame jetting, and suddenly swelled up its body, and an invisible gravitational ripple vibrated out.
Gravity. Concussion.
Asker came to a sharp halt in the charge, his sword slamming into the ground.
The gravitational waves, which change abruptly, radiate in all directions, centered on the living corpse.
Asker grabbed the sword, and his entire body was pulled sideways by the altered gravitational pull.
In the next second, a thunderous gunshot rang out.
The elephant hunting bullet struck the living corpse in the chest, completely bursting his upper body.
The spirit head of the living corpse, glaring at Aske viciously.
With his strong spirituality and combat experience, he didn't even see clearly what the other party fired.
So much so that he did not avoid this attack at all.
The corpse fell from mid-air to the ground, no longer moving.
Damaged into such a corpse, unable to even move his arms, there is no chance of winning at all.
Therefore, the demigods behind the scenes immediately abandoned it without hesitation.
The scorching heat died down, and Sheila continued to blow the wind.
The others also maintained a vigilant fighting posture.
Because no one can be sure that this living corpse that fell to the ground will jump up again in the next second and kill everyone who is unprepared.
Only Asker, who forcefully pulled out his sword from the ground and walked over to the living corpse to look at it for a while.
Then he turned and walked off into the distance.
Only then did everyone believe that Alexander's body was completely dead, and the manipulators behind the scenes had left, so they hurriedly rushed forward to surround the body.
Colby took out the Night's Watch Spike and pierced the corpse's limbs, which restrained the undead power in its body and prevented it from flowing.
There was still one more to be nailed into the forehead, but the corpse had no head.
Phoebus, on the other hand, used the intact arm to burn a spell engraved with the secret text of rest on the skin surface of the corpse.
Make sure the body is sealed completely.
The spell is engraved and solved.
The Night's Watch Knights suddenly felt extremely tired.
It's the feeling of powerlessness as if you've done countless things, and when you think about it, you find that you haven't done anything.
The mercenaries of the Blue Sword were overjoyed to see Asker return with the awakened Peggy.
Peggy was still a little confused, as if she hadn't woken up, and she was able to stand firm thanks to Asker's support.
Nora hurriedly went up to check her body, and finally came to the conclusion that she was very healthy.
Of course, more detailed information will have to wait until you leave here.
After all, this place is not suitable for long.
——————
"Well, 60 bullets in total." Nora took the small cloth bag and said, "I'll pick them all up for you!" ”
The underworld is a special dimensional map, and whether it is light visibility, psychic ability, or radio signals, it will be strongly suppressed.
If the transcendent has a transcendent object that can affect the underworld, he or she can distort the underworld space to some extent, thus distorting the sense of direction of those who are trapped in it.
For example, if you feel like you're walking in a straight line, you're actually diagonally to the left. Or maybe you feel like you're spinning in circles, you're actually spiraling, and so on.
Of course, for professional players, how to deal with various maps is the least basic common sense.
The solution Asker has chosen here is very simple: the bullet throwing method.
After separating from the large group, every step you take, you drop a bullet to the ground.
If the follow-up team wants to find him, they just need to follow the bullets on the ground, and they don't need any sense of direction at all.
Putting the bullets back away, Asker saw Nora pull out a small cloth bag and grab a handful of things out of it.
"What is this?" He asked curiously.
"Seeds." Nora said, "It's all seeds of low-level transcendent plants, bought from the Night's Watch, and they're cheap. I'm going to plant it on Hearthfire Island and build a big flower garden near the manor. ”
"In another ten years at most, they will be able to bloom very beautiful flowers~"
"Why don't you buy some fast-growing flowers, like Alpine roses and Christmas galans?" "Ten years is too long." ”
"It's okay, I can afford to wait." Nora hummed a minor tune and walked away, as if the mood was happy.
On the plane of reality.
The group that left the canopy of the dead and returned to their tent was warmly welcomed by the remaining Knights of the Night's Watch, though only for a few minutes.
After all, the Knights of the Night's Watch were not in the habit of holding celebratory feasts.
Soon, the night watchmen began to do their own business again: the knights buried the dead, the priests counted the damage, and the higher-ups began to write materials for reporting to headquarters.
"Lord Bryce, this ......" At the Night's Watch headquarters in Florence, the commander-in-chief's secretary smiled bitterly when he received the initial report from the Eastern Legion.
"You're saying that there are undead demigods who tried to resurrect Alexander the Great, who have taken control of his corpse and have been defeated by you."
"Yes." Commander Bryce said.
"And your Eastern Legion's casualty rate at this time is less than 10%?"
"Yes."
"The body of Alexander the Great has been brought back by your seal."
"Yes."
"If I report like this, I will definitely be scolded by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" The secretary to the commander-in-chief sighed and said, "Also, please be cautious about this matter. ”
"The other party 'handed over' Alexander's body to you so easily, there should be an ulterior conspiracy in it, maybe that corpse has been manipulated."
"I understand. I will explain that the final battle to capture the corpse is not easy. Bryce paused, realizing that this statement was completely inconsistent with "his own casualty rate was less than 10%", and quickly added:
"In fact, if it weren't for the foreign aid of a mercenary group, our casualty rate would have been more than half, and we might not have been able to recapture Alexander's body."
At this point, it was as if there was an overwhelming stream of fire and flames in front of his eyes, as well as the smell of melted earth and charcoal.
"Mercenary group?" The secretary asked in a confirmed manner.
"Yes, its name is the Azure Sword." Bryce said.
Haven't heard of it...... The secretary typed the words "blue sword" on the computer, and was about to search on the Internet, when he suddenly asked:
"This mercenary group, shouldn't all the combat power be concentrated on a few people?"
"Yes." Bryce said, "Mainly thanks to the regimental commander, His Excellency Asker." ”
Sure enough, the secretary thought to himself.
This must be a famous swordsmanship master, for some special purpose (such as cultivation or entertainment), incognito joined this little-known small mercenary group, only to help the Eastern Legion in this mutation.
The name Asker must also be a pseudonym, and it has no meaning to report it......
"Lord Bryce, can you please introduce this Asker to me?" The secretary asked.
"Yes, you can." Bryce knew that the secretary was a real well-connected man with extensive contacts at the top of the country, so he was happy to be in the middle of the game for him and Asker.
"The people are in our camp, and I'll ask Phoebus to bring them."
More than ten minutes later.
"What? People are gone?! ”
"Yes." Phoebus, too, was sweating profusely, "According to the guards guarding the door, they packed up and left half an hour ago. Because no orders were received from above, the guards did not stop them. ”
Bryce:..................
I haven't really given a similar order, but you're a little sensitive! The biggest hero in this undead mutation incident is also a foreigner, so he must stay and take care of it first, how can he let people go so easily?
However, he noticed that Phoebus's left hand was in a plaster cast and splint, but the words of reprimand were not spoken, and finally turned into a long sigh of melancholy.
