Verse 558: North (Raid)
There is little doubt about Marin's return with a large cat β in the north, the snow leopard is the most elegant animal companion for many extraordinary professionals.
If you want to bring a bear, it's fine, but it's not as handsome as it is.
As for why this thing ended up in Europe, Marin got the answer from Jason - when technology improved, many endangered animals began to be cloned and released into the wild, and some snow leopards were released into northern Europe and the Alps, and these modified lives survived in the time after the Great Apocalypse.
"I've heard about Lady Spotted, she's back to nature, and you named her Spotted, are you remembering that brave lady?"
Faced with Lulu's question, Marin nodded as a matter of course, this is a female leopard, when Marin saw it, he seemed to have succumbed to fate, but when Marin untied it for it, it did not run away, but plucked up its courage and followed Marin to find food while biting its tail.
It's just because Marin told it with psionic energy that if you follow humans, you will have food.
Like the Spotted Lady Marlin once raised, it did its best to survive, and eventually, Spotted Lady left Marlin, and it grew up in the wild after all, and this little guy was different, and Marlin felt that it would be a pleasure to raise him.
"It's up to you to take care of it." Marin felt that he was too busy, of course it was impossible to raise this little thing, but Lulu had time, and she didn't have to go to the front line, this little guy could effectively relieve her boring time.
After all, this is not Copenhagen...... No, Marin almost forgot, a few days ago Marin had a very fierce group, and now in Copenhagen, not to mention the young people who go out in the middle of the night to masturbate, even the ladies don't dare to have a tea party now, and the gentlemen even have to sneak in to play cards.
The bars and salons in Copenhagen are in the brink of extinction, and the Marlin-style horror has forced all young people to clamp their tails and be people, and Lulu is the hardest hit area, and the most parade of her peers who have been playing with her in recent days is to read Marin's writings.
God is pitiful, Marin asks himself, when was the last update?
Then Marin found that he couldn't give any answer at all - forget it, this kind of thing that is destined to not find an answer, let's forget about it, I think the editor-in-chief of the publishing house and that cute little assistant will not jump their faces at this time when the war is at its worst.
Anyway, if you really want to jump your face, let them dance, there is no draft in your hand, so kill it if you want to.
In line with the idea of organically combining dead pigs, not being afraid, boiling water and scalding, when Marin was trying to find a way to be lazy, Xiao Meng came over, this girl should have just finished the battle mage combat readiness duty, and found the snow leopard in Lulu's arms, and immediately turned into a shovel officer, and played with Lulu with a small spot.
This little cub also has an extremely strong desire to survive, and all kinds of pretending to be stupid and cute, which is naturally well received.
Now that Lulu has a companion, Marin takes a look at her pocket watch and goes to patrol the front line after saying goodbye.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Speaking of patrolling, Marin's plan was to walk down the trenches and then go to the mage's duty room to see the new duty officer.
Therefore, as soon as he went out, Marin whistled, and the dwarven attendant waiting outside the door immediately appeared in front of Marin, and this guy saluted Marin: "Your Excellency, where are we going." β
"Go to the front-line trenches and take the guys." After Marin finished speaking, he picked up his semi-automatic rifle from the gun rack on the side.
The dwarf picked up his semi-automatic rifle.
The two of them grabbed a helmet and buckled it to their heads.
According to the patrol plan, Marin also took two flare guns, one for him and one for the dwarf.
The dwarf walked in front, this bearded man had just groomed his beard in the last few days, and it should have been the hair care product that Marlin had made with Kloss before - just like Marlin had thought before, the dwarves loved their beards far more than their hair, and the hair care products they paid for were used to take care of their beards in the end, and I heard that the effect was good, Kloss has now teamed up with Revo to sell the human hair care product 'wavy hair' to the dwarves and changed the name to 'Redbeard', which is very popular on the dwarves' side.
"Your Excellency, the weather has been good lately, it is one of the few consecutive sunny days in the north, and the bathroom area has recently been able to open all day, thanks to your help."
"It's nothing, I also think everyone needs to take a good rest."
The bathroom area is said to be open 24 hours, but the water is actually recirculated, Marlin uses the fine roots of the World Tree as a filter, the sewage is very thoroughly purified, coupled with the melting snow water and the fixed heating system, the soldiers have a very good bathing experience, many soldiers from rural areas have not even experienced the winter bathing with hot water pipes.
Moving down the trench, Marin took out his cigarette case and threw one to the dwarf, who turned to catch the cigarette, took out the flint lighter that the dwarf must bring, and lit it.
Marin bit the cigarette in his mouth and took out his lighter as he quietly glanced at the traffic trench.
There were some dotted red dots on the excavated and frozen dirt, and Marlin gently wiped them with psionic energy, but it didn't erase their presence, Marlin glanced at the ground in front of him again, and jumped over the dwarf to see that the ground in front of him was a little frozen and muddy, and the dwarf trampled them to pieces as he walked.
Marlin pricked up his ears, unable to hear any other footsteps.
"Adamantite, wait a minute, I'll ask you a question." Marin put away the lighter and put the cigarette on his ear as he motioned for the dwarf to stop walking.
The dwarf stopped, he turned his head to look at Marin's side against the wall of the trench on the right, although he didn't understand a little, he still leaned to the other side: "Your Excellency, what's the problem?" β
"According to the schedule, the last patrol team that walked here is the other team, when will it come here."
"Seven minutes ago, Conn Stark's Thirteenth Patrol ......" At this point, the dwarf quickly glanced down at the hard dirt road under his feet, and his face changed when he looked up again.
"They're slackers, we'll have to educate them when we get back." Marlin smiled as he opened the safety of the semi-automatic weapon in his hand, and Beep slipped out of the bag around his waist and pulled the flare gun out of Marin's waist.
The dwarf unhooked the safety of the semi-automatic musket and unsheathed the dagger sheath on his chest.
Marin took a deep breath, and in the next second, ripples from psionic energy stretched out from Marin's feet, and the waves they formed jumped through the trenches, outlining one invisible solid after another into tangible shapes.
The dwarves started shooting first, and the silver bullets were very effective against these things, but the bullets were clearly not as numerous as they were, and after Marlin's psionic powers outlined their shapes, the monsters finally removed their invisibility abilities - it couldn't have been a spell, or Marlin would have been able to observe them with the naked eye.
It was a number of crawling Chaos Demons on all fours, and Marlin couldn't tell them or what they were called, but the monsters' huge mouths and swollen bellies told Marin where the patrols had gone.
Beep screamed and shot the flares into the air, and his anger made Marlin somewhat understand where the guys came from - it was supposed to be Slaanesh's dog.
It's really interesting, first Nurgle, and now there is the legion of Slaanesh, and the four evil gods want to take turns to play?
"Your Excellency! I'll break it off! Adamantite shouted as he moved forward, he ran out of rifle bullets and did not reload, but drew his short sword and shotgun from his waist to buy Marlin time to retreat.
"No, you don't." Marin stretched out his hand and shook it, and the spiritual energy that was still stained with the demons squeezed them into a blur of flesh and blood in an instant.
The whole line began to be lively, and Beep opened the chamber of the flare gun, and he pulled a white-shelled flare from his pouch and slipped it in, and shot it into the sky.
This meant that there were stealth units, so the artillerymen in the rear gave a round of answers after fifteen seconds - a dozen shells with glitter dust streaked through the sky, the scattered dust began to work, and the shells with more dust exploded in front of the defensive line.
Marin handed over his semi-automatic rifle to Lorraine to operate, and Marin, who had replaced his pistol, cast a spell with his left hand, and the fluctuations of psionic energy swept through the entire defense line around it, and all active targets were marked.
"It's a stealthman...... A monster from another world, a lackey of Chaos. The dwarf had already examined a corpse at this time: "They have appeared in the previous records of the tide of death, they can swallow halflings whole, or bite humans to death and eat them, how did you find out, Your Excellency?" β
"There was no sign of people walking on the surface, there was blood on the walls, and I could smell them." Marin said as he raised his left hand, and the demons who had surged from the communication trench in front of him were suddenly squeezed into the middle trench and swallowed up, and the flesh and blood of these monsters on the opposite ground were completely crushed as if they had been thrown into a millstone.
"Let's go up to the ground." Marin said as he turned around, and the walls of the trench began to turn into stairs, Marin walked up the steps to the surface, and the dwarf glanced at the closed trench, and finally ran with Marin to the surface.
"Your Excellency!" A battle mage on duty in the sky descended: "There are sneakers everywhere, what should we do." β
"Drop your Molotov cocktails at coordinates 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 that you have marked earlier, and tell Suder on Heights 9 to be careful that they climb up the cliff."
"I'll go and inform them, Your Excellency."
"Adamantite, you go to the command post, let her and Miss Meng from southern Thailand take the guards to the rear hospital to take care of the wounded, and let the communication team go and tell the frost giants to move in the direction of the hospital." Scheduling the order, Marin put the cigarette from his ear in his mouth. It's easy
In the glitter-dust-contaminated area ahead, stalkers are emerging, and sometimes larger Chaos creatures can be observed.
"Jason, establish communication with the artillery position behind me."
"As you wish, Your Excellency." Jason's small machine crawled out of Marlin's collar, and as liquid metal, it split into two offspring, one of which flew backwards.
Behind Marin, a passage is being built, and Eleven and Seventeen walk out of the passage wearing enhanced powered exoskeletons, holding eight-barreled rotating heat-dissipating heavy cannons in both hands, which are the most suitable equipment for Eleven and Seventeen at the undersea base.
"Is this a strange stranger, Your Excellency?" Eleven asked.
"Yes, also our targets, eleven, seventeen, crossfire preparation." Marlin said as he took the cigarette he had smoked from his mouth and threw it into the open subspace hole.
In the next second, the hole opened, and a ghoul poked out.
I see, Your Excellency, my side is also under attack from these guys, and they are filling my entire detection range, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come.
"It's okay, keep your line, Ayers."
After Marin finished speaking, he heard the news from Jason's side that the communication with the artillery position had completed the communication connection and was waiting for the coordinates.
"With the exception of High Ground 9, artillery fire is going to cover all the coordinates of the first line of defense." Seeing that these demons completely covered the first line of defense, Marin could only give this order - there must be no living people on the first line of defense, and these chaos demons would devour all the soldiers on the first line of defense alive.
After speaking, Marin looked at the No. 9 high ground, where you can still see the figure of the human soldiers, the back attack of the chaos has little effect, after all, Marin has put several machine gun groups and light mortar teams there, as well as two dwarf artificial soldier companies, these dwarf artificial soldiers are equipped with heavy shotguns and flamethrowers filled with holy oil, and the fire dragon that shoots down from the high ground ignites the entire team of Chaos demons from time to time.
The first round of artillery bombardment arrived, and the Chaos Demon's attack was paused, but soon, more Chaos appeared within the visual range of psionic detection.
Eleven and Seventeen were firing incessantly, the bullet casings under their feet had been piled up into a hill, and the bullet boxes on their backs had been alerted to the artificial empty compartment.
The battle mages on duty in the air dropped incendiary bombs, but soon, those walls of fire were broken, these chaos demons have a high resistance to ordinary flames, Marin even saw a battle mage because he flew too low and was dragged to the ground by the jumping demon, but the battle mage finally chose to ignite his soul, and after falling to the surface with an unyielding will, a huge arcane explosion ignited the area directly.
"I should ask about the Adamantite, what are the numbers of these guys in general." Marin muttered as he rolled up his sleeves as he took out his dagger and cut a wound in his arm.
Inadequate.
The second wound was opened.
Still not enough.
Marin cut the third wound.
The massive loss of blood made Marlin's face pale, but again, an excess of the elements was gathering.
Eventually, the elements gathered in front of Marin into a tiny spark.
The battlemages had retreated to either side, the Chaos getting closer and closer to the second line of defense, but the soldiers who rushed up did not retreat, some of them jumped out of the trenches, others crouched or stood on the sides and fired at Chaos.
Marin marked the coordinates of his attack.
Mars began to lift off.
Almost all people with the magic skills have noticed this Mars.
The same can be said of Chaos, where a long number of demons in their ranks leapt directly over the line and swoop directly at Marin, who was channeling the spell.
Marin watched as the spark flew into the sky.
As the Chaos drew closer and closer to Marlin, a group of soldiers rushed towards Link, a young man with a wounded hand holding a revolver, and his guards standing firmly in front of him.
These young beings were brought to death with their innate loyalty and sense of purpose, and their shots brought down several Chaos, but more and more long-legged Chaos leaped straight out of the void from the guidance of their companions.
"Get on the bayonet!" Svensson's brother shouted, and he was the first to drop the empty revolver, then pulled the sword out of its sheath.
Then he saw Marlin come up.
"Your Excellency!" He stood in front of Marin, but was pushed away by Marin.
Raising his bleeding left hand, Marin pushed his palm.
The long wall of psionic energy began to move forward, and the chaos was struck by the invisible psionic wall, and the sky lit up as they were smashed to pieces.
In the next second, a thin white line fell from the sky.
Then, a pillar of light fell with the white line, and the spiritual energy fell like a tide, completely igniting the chaos on the entire battlefield, and the chaos that had rushed to the second line of defense finally fell into the trench in a burning state, and they completely lost the threat and could not even harm the humans around them, so they could only be burned into ashes in the burning.
The twigs of the World Tree had covered the wound on Marlin's wrist by this time, and their owner took a deep breath before sitting on the ground.
"Your Excellency, this is all your strength?" Watching the chaos of the entire battlefield ignite, Link asked.
"Anonymous is here to help." Marlin told the truth - he directly exploded the seed to ignite the entire psionic pool, and was going to pull a scrapped satellite down with Jason's help.
But before the satellite could be guided, the Anonymous Divine Light was channeled down, and because of this, Marin, who didn't need to be guided anymore, had the opportunity to shoot those Chaos Demons who wanted to pop his face into meatloaf.
And with the fall of the Divine Light, this raiding Chaos Legion was completely destroyed, Marin estimated that there would probably be something in the rear, but considering the balance of power, these Slaanese demons were only afraid that they would choose to retreat - it would only be humiliating to fight again, you must know that the Divine Light has come down, these Chaos and Anonymous have been fighting for so many years, and it should be what it should be, so Marin finally failed to wait for Chaos's follow-up attack.
Asking the Svensson kid to count the casualties, Marlin took out a bottle of potion and poured it into his stomach, and the excessive blood loss finally eased, and then the emptiness of the psionic pool made Marlin feel unusually hungry.
Fortunately, there was jerky in the bag, and Marlin stuffed several pieces of jerky in one go, and finally felt better.
"Your Excellency, what were you calling just now?" The Lord of the Quentin Tower walked over at this time, and he looked at Marin with a look of horror - compared to the Winter Wolf Knight, who was not very knowledgeable, Quentin, as a mage, understood Marin's guidance.
"A large military satellite before the Great Destruction Age has been scrapped, and I am going to pull it up and smash it on the ground, and the shock wave and damage caused by the impact will completely wipe out this batch of chaos." Marin finished his thoughts, and then introduced Anonymous's help.
The Lord of the Quentin Tower finally wiped his forehead, thanked the Lord of Justice, and then sat down in front of Marin with a butt: "Your Excellency, have you calculated how many mistakes you will be injured by doing this? β
"I've calculated that there will probably be at least 2,000 casualties on the second line of defense, and this is if the guidance is smooth, if there is a delay of about thirty seconds, there will be no casualties." With tens of thousands of Chaos Demons, Marin didn't have time to calculate the harmless coordinates, and Jason had done his bestβthis was the feasible solution he had told Marin.
ββ¦β¦ Basically, there will be delays, right. The Quentin Tower Lord asked, looking at Marin.
Marin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, there will be a delay. β
Marin then lay down on the snow, the dizziness caused by the blood loss making it difficult for Marlin to sit up.
"How much time do you think it's going to be short?" There was a hint of exclamation in the voice of the Quentin Tower Lord.
Marin thought for a moment: "Forty-seven seconds, when I have to move the landing point twenty meters north, so that the edge of the shock wave can kill this position." β
Then Marin added: "I don't have a choice. β
