Chapter 71 Mission Begins
Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, operated the tablet in his hand and uploaded the prepared picture to the holographic projector in the conference room.
The next moment, a holographic projection screen appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the picture inside was a tall man.
The man has gray hair, two large cross-shaped scars on his face, and bronzed skin. Dressed very strangely, wearing a bandeau dress on the upper body and a pair of white trousers on the lower body, with a skirt-like outer piece on the outside. All eyes were on him, holding a gray-black cube in his hand.
"Emperor's Tool: Dimensional Phalanx (Shangri-La) - Spatial Movement System Emperor's Tool, which can instantly move the target to a predetermined marker's location, but it needs to consume a huge amount of energy and cannot be continuously activated. The mystery of this imperial tool is to send people to another dimension that will never return, and the current owner is the son of Minister Ernest and Sheila. β
"Emperor: Dimensional Phalanx, this guy's method of use is simply a waste." Chris Cage, head of logistics, said. He had noticed this imperial tool early in the beginning, and this imperial tool was simply an artifact. Its teleportation ability can make the pioneer troops of the Eastern Xia Empire move up several notches.
It is even possible to develop a multi-purpose cannon similar to a coastal cannon and leave a mark on these cannons. At that time, the Eastern Xia Empire will no longer be affected by the terrain and information, and as long as it needs fire support, it will immediately summon the giant cannon camp to come over. Instantly give the enemy a taste of what it means to cover with firepower and wash the ground with missiles.
Although the intelligence says that each teleportation will cost a huge amount of energy, the Eastern Xia Empire can gather all the magicians to pick out the suitable ones and then use them in turn.
The head of logistics, Chris Cage, is not interested in teleportation, but in its xenospace technology! It's a waste to use this ability to banish enemies, and this technology should be used to transport supplies!
As soon as the picture turned, the holographic projection became a picture in another dimension.
"Just in intelligence 20, 17 minutes 45 seconds to 47 seconds, these two seconds. We saw an upside-down castle. The castle and the surrounding starry sky are clearly out of place, as if they were shoehorned into. β
"To be precise, the surrounding starry sky and planets are obviously just a background, and only this castle has a three-dimensional effect. I suspect that the original emperor of this empire stored the method of making imperial tools here. The above is all my speculation alone, and there is no actual evidence. β
"That's it for my report."
After Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, sat down, the other people in charge stared at the picture on the holographic projection and nodded in agreement.
Although this is only his personal speculation and there is no evidence, there is clearly something wrong with the castle. And even if there is no such castle, the Eastern Xia Empire is bound to obtain this space imperial tool. This kind of spatial storage technology is really too tempting for the Eastern Xia Empire.
After 15 minutes, all the responsible persons have expressed their opinions or proposals. Most of these proposals are for the competition of various imperial tools or the search for intelligence. After all, this is just an assassination operation, and there are not too many other factors to consider, just beware of those strong people in the intelligence.
Xia Xuan turned his head to look at Zhao Dezhu, who had always been in charge of the arsenal, and asked, "How many prototypes of the magic energy mecha have been made?" β
Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, stood up again and said, "Report to Your Majesty, after the production of all the magicians in the empire day and night, excluding the first machine, there are already 10 units, and now they have been transferred to the Military Department." β
"General Li Anguo, how do you plan to distribute these ten mechas?" Xia Xuandao.
"Your Majesty, after discussion, the Military Department has decided to assign all ten mecha to the squad responsible for assassination, mainly to intercept high-level powerhouses." The head of the military, Li Anguo, got up and replied.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan, the person in charge of biology research in another world, also stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, regarding this mission, I recommend two people to you, to be precise, a demon and a shadow demon. β
"Who?" Xia Xuan was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that the empire had a demon species joining, even if it had just joined recently, the report would be sent to his desk.
"Griffin, a high-ranking demon captured in the Battle of Arakawa Castle, and Carter, the shadow demon captured in the underground ruins of Water City." Zhang Zhiyuan, the head of biological research in another world, smiled more and more, this was something they had trained with great difficulty.
Research Department, Otherworldly Creatures Detention Area.
A corridor made entirely of alloy, flanked by circular alloy gates 3 meters high and 3 wide, very similar in shape to the gates of a bank vault.
This is where monsters with a body size of no more than four meters are imprisoned, but in fact, they are all high-level monsters such as demons, shadow demons, slimes, and lichs. Most of the high-ranking monsters are not too big, and the weaker monsters only need to be locked in special glass, and they don't need to be given a separate luxury suite.
At this moment, five pioneers in exoskeleton armor approached the end of the passage and stopped in front of a gate with the name 001.
The next moment, the metal door slowly opened, and the pioneers walked in with guns in hand.
The scene inside the room was similar to that of a normal prison cell, with a toilet, a mirror, and a bed. The only difference is the surrounding walls, all made of alloy.
In the room, an extremely handsome man slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the pioneer who walked in, and said, "Is it finally here?" β
The leading pioneer took out a blank piece of paper and pen and handed it to the high-ranking demon Griffin, and said, "After signing this agreement, you are a member of the supernumerary army of the Eastern Xia Empire. β
The high-ranking demon Griffin took the Entente and the pen, looked at the content written in the lingua franca inside, and sneered: "Heh, as long as you get enough merits, you can regain your freedom, and you can also become a citizen of the Eastern Xia Empire?" β
"You humans are so weird, I'm all captives now. Give me all these rules and regulations, give me a little hope, and make me work harder for you? β
The high-ranking demon Griffin said this, but he was relieved to see the things on this piece of paper in his heart. Although the treaty given by the Eastern Xia Empire was not guaranteed, at least they did not see themselves as test subjects anymore.
γGriffinγ
After the high-ranking demon Griffin signed his name, he returned the Entente and the pen to the Trailblazers.
After confirming that it was correct, the pioneer said, "Private Griffin, now you are a soldier of the outer formation of the Eastern Xia Empire. Come with us, and we'll take you to get your uniform, ID card, and number. β
With that, the five pioneers turned and walked out of the room, followed by the high-ranking demon Griffin.
The moment he walked out the door, Griffin breathed a sigh of relief, both physically and mentally, and a feeling called freedom rose inside him.
At this time, the third room to their right also walked out of a group of pioneers. They were followed by a man who was also dressed in light blue and had grayish skin all over his body.
The eyes of the two met at once, and both sides spoke at the same time.
"Shadow Fiend?"
"Demons?"
As for letting these two high-level monsters out, the research department is not worried that they will cause trouble or escape. Because the night they were first caught, several miniature bombs had been planted in the bodies of the two of them. As long as they dare to mess around, the miniature bombs inside the two of them will tear their bodies apart.
Half an hour later, both Griffin and Carter were dressed in camouflage uniforms. The two of them looked at the same clothes on their bodies as the soldiers who came and went around them, and their hearts that had been hanging finally let go.
They never wanted to go back to that white room again, and every time they remembered that room, their bodies trembled unconsciously.
At this time, a pioneer stepped forward and said, "Private Griffin, Private Carter, there has just been an order from the Military Department to have your mission. β
Griffin and Carter glanced at each other, straightened their backs, and gave a military salute they had just learned.
"Yes!"
From the moment the agreement was signed, the two knew that they would be sent on extremely dangerous missions that would cost them their lives.
But whether it was the once proud Shadow Demon or the high-ranking demon Griffin who believed that it was better to die than to live, they all agreed without hesitation.
The two people who came out of the Otherworld's Biology Research Department were more afraid of returning to that room than they were of death.
Half an hour later, Xia Xuan looked at the assassination troops assembled in front of him, a total of 102 people.
50 intelligence officers in coarse linen medieval clothing, 50 pioneers in full-body exoskeleton armor, and finally two supernumerary members.
Carter's equipment was very simple, a piece of black trait armor and two long knives engraved with wind magic patterns. The reason why he didn't equip him with firearms was mainly because of the shadow demon's shadow, and the armor and long knife on the shadow man's body were already his limits. Rather than equipping him with all sorts of heavy firepower, it would be better for Carter to retain the ability of shadowing and become an assassin.
Griffin was wearing a suit of armor very similar to that of the Lizardman Grimm, and he had two modified [Hummingbird Micro Guided Missile Launchers] hanging from his shoulders; Behind his waist are two [Dragon-16 high-explosive bazookas]; In his hand, he holds a newly developed [Thermobaric Grenade Launcher], which can fire miniature thermobaric bombs.
Because he is a demon, not only can he fly, but he also has a lot of strength. So the arsenal specially prepared a super firepower package for him.
I should have known that these guys weren't going to assassinate in the first place.
"You should already know the content and information of the mission, now the mission begins." Xia Xuandao.
As soon as the words fell, a black spatial portal appeared next to Xia Xuan.
Everyone gave a military salute and said in unison: "Yes!" β
Then begin to enter the portal in an orderly manner.
The Eastern Xia Empire's 'assassination' troops entered the world of Scarlet Pupils.
At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky, and the scorching sun bakes the magnificent capital.
Five carriages came from the end of the avenue and stopped at the eight-meter-high city gate, and the soldier in charge of the inspection stepped forward and said, "What's in it?" β
Without waiting for the driver to answer, a middle-aged man dressed gorgeously dressed as a wealthy businessman walked down and said with a smile: "This captain, it contains the things that the noble lord wants, so..."
As he spoke, the rich merchant took out a gold coin, handed it to the soldier, and said, "Be careful, you should invite your brothers to drink." β
The captain of the soldier took the gold coin without any hesitation, and then put it in his mouth and bit it lightly to confirm that it was true, and said, "Let it go!" β
After not being stopped, the five carriages moved slowly again, passing through the inspection and entering the imperial capital.
"Captain, this doesn't seem to be in order." A soldier next to him asked.
Looking at the back of the carriage leaving, the captain smiled: "What's wrong, isn't it normal to collect some tolls?" β
"And it's something that those nobles want, and if I stop it, you won't be able to see me the next day."
"Boy, today I will tell you the rules of the imperial capital." I'm in a good mood today, and the captain plans to mention this new recruit.
"In this imperial capital, the nobles are talking about the rules."
After the 50 intelligence officers of the Eastern Xia Empire successfully entered the imperial capital, they dispersed and searched for information.
Now the information obtained by the Eastern Xia Empire from the system only has the target's appearance, name, and his status or position, and there is no specific location of the target.
Five hours later, the sun was ready to set, and the outline of the moon was already visible in the blue sky.
The scattered intelligence agents regrouped and began to report on the information they had gathered today. After gathering the information, everyone found that this character was simpler than they had imagined.
Most of the mission targets are famous nobles and high-ranking officials, and even ordinary people in the imperial capital have heard of them. As a result, under the financial offensive of the intelligence officers, it was quickly investigated that the three mission targets lived or frequented the places.
At night, the sun sets completely, and darkness covers the land. But in this imperial capital, many places are still brightly lit.
The technology tree in the world of Slashing Crimson Pupils is very chaotic, and it is clear that electricity has been developed. But this electricity did not promote the progress of society, but was used for lighting.
In the underground sewers of the imperial capital, the originally dark sewers were illuminated by the strong light of searchlights. More than a dozen intelligence officers neatly placed the prepared locator teleportation scrolls on the ground, and then all of them were torn apart.
Whew..
Every time the intelligence man tears a positioning teleportation scroll, the original position of the scroll will be a pioneer wearing a full-body exoskeleton armor.
A few moments later, 50 Pioneers and two supernumerary members entered the Imperial Capital through locator teleportation magic.
"Start transmitting intelligence." An intelligence officer holds a tablet in his hand and transmits the intelligence gathered today into the Pioneers' tactical helmets. "The information has been transmitted."
001, who was wearing a magic mech, nodded, turned to the other pioneers wearing exoskeleton armor and said, "Now start reading the information. β
With the exception of two supernumerary personnel, the other pioneers began to check the intelligence through tactical helmets.
Two minutes later, 001 spoke again: "Arya's family will be executed by the fifth squad, the president of the Lonte Chamber of Commerce will be executed by the fourth squad, and the rest of the people will follow me to hunt down the beheader who executed the execution, Zanke, and capture the emperor: Five-Sighted Universal (Observer)." β
The pioneers gave a military salute in a neat manner, and did not shout out for the sake of preventing others from discovering it.
