Chapter 196: Winter Solstice

Three days later, a team appeared in the Borong Mountains. This place is adjacent to the wind-eroded wasteland, and the ridge is undulating like a dragon, and the weather is severe. To the southeast of the Biron Mountains, there is a natural gorge. After passing through the canyon, you will be able to reach Niru, another base of the Federation.

Recently, the material team that traveled between the two bases of Blood Eagle and Niru discovered that there were traces of sword demons in the Bolong Mountains. The Niru base, which is closest to the Boron Mountains, has sent a search party to investigate and discovered a small Majin tribe in the mountains. The tribe occupies one of the mountain's bellwits and banishes the burrowing worms through multiple entrances and exits.

The Niru base had planned to sweep it up, but Berry, who learned of this, took over the task and handed it over to Alan for combat testing of the Raging Rifle. The team traveling through the mountains at this moment is naturally the border army participating in the test. The team was commanded by Lieutenant Pete, with the participation of Allen and Kirges. The former, as the serial designer of the Raging Fire rifle, had to record the details of the actual battle. The latter is to sweep the formation for the already side, so as not to have any unexpected situations.

According to the information from the Niru base, the team arrived near the Sword Demon Tribe in the afternoon. Peter, Allen, and Kirges were lying on a piece of limestone. Looking down, a winding mountain trail leads to an entrance to a mountainside. At the entrance, the stones are stacked high, and two tribal flags are fixed, painted with scythes and skulls. There are sword demons and horned wolves wandering among the mountains near the entrance, and they are supposed to be sentinels.

This tribe lives in the belly of the mountain, which is also a tradition of sword demons. It's like the abyss of the furnace where the Sword Demon King is located, in fact, it is the belly of a volcano. It leads directly to the volcanic lava pool, which is hot all year round, and the earth fire rises endlessly. The Sword Demon used it as an energy source and fortification for the Crucible Abyss, making the Fort Abyss a model for the mountainside fortress.

Of course, at the moment, this small tribe cannot be compared to the Abyss of the Crucible in terms of size and combat power. What's more, they should have migrated over for a short time, and naturally there would be no decent fortifications. The three of them turned around again, determined the location of the other two entrances and exits, and then retreated to the standby point where the team was.

Under Peter's arrangement, the team of three will attack at the same time from three entrances and exits, making sure that the sword demon has nowhere to escape. The battle began at sunset, and the three teams of the Bianjung Army launched an attack on the Sword Demon Tribe with roaring rifles. The Raging Fire Rifle really did not meet expectations, even the firepower of the regular mode was twice as large as that of the ordinary rifle, and the strong firepower coupled with the completely lethal fighting style of the Bianrong Army. Fighting together, the Sword Demon Tribe was in the shape of a one-sided inverted shì.

Allen and Ke Ges watched the battle from behind, and saw that in the face of the counterattack of the sword demon, the Bian Rong army did not fight according to the conventional tactics of first avoiding and then attacking, but directly met the enemy's counterattack firepower, and exchanged injuries for lives.

From their battles, Alan somewhat understood the psychology of these people. Perhaps there is nothing in their lives that cannot be lost, including their own lives.

Under the attack of this group of madmen, the sword demon retreated one after another. The rough gunfire of the Raging Rifles reverberated through the mountainside, and Alan and Corges then entered the mountainside. The hinterland allowed the burrower to dig out several passages, which flickered with fire and echoed with gunfire. The border army took advantage of the firepower of the raging rifle, smashed the Yellow Dragon, and stormed into the depths of the mountain.

A place resembling a sacrificial ground was dug deep in the belly of the mountain, which also served as the chief's residence. When Allen and the others entered, there were few dead sword demons left, and the remaining dozen or so berserk wolf knights were trying to attack the firepower of the border army. Under Peter's order, the two squads switched the Flame Rifle to the Demon Martial Mode, and under the bombardment of a round of fiery missiles, more than a dozen wolf knights could not even reach the corners of their clothes, and they were blown into charcoal.

The last remaining chieftain let out an angry roar, and the source power soared, but he also had level 18 strength. However, when he rushed forward brandishing a battle axe, Peter waved his hand and ordered the warriors to gather fire and attack. More than fifty Furious Rifles pointed their guns at the chieftain, and a barrage of fiery bullets fired, and a dense explosion erupted in the belly of the mountain.

The firebomb constantly explodes in a limited area, and the energy impact generated is enough to form a storm of incredible destructive power. When the explosion stopped, the belly of the mountain was filled with gray smoke. The chieftain had already been blown up and deformed, and his death was terrible.

Looking at the charcoal-like corpse, Kejies whistled and said, "This is amazing, with this power, the Awakened will have to turn around and run when they see it." ”

Alan nodded, shook his head again, and said: "It's not so simple when you really meet the awakened, if it's you, you won't stand like a log and let others bomb you." However, if it can play a shocking role, the Raging Fire Rifle has the value of production. ”

"Maybe you can also develop other weapons, such as the Source Force/Thunder and the like, but one-time consumables are too expensive to use in sequences." Kirgeth shook his head.

"I'll talk about that later." Alan shrugged his shoulders, there are many weapons that can be developed. However, in the next step, he wants to try to develop magic armor to increase the soldier's defense or mobility, which is also to improve the soldier's combat effectiveness from another level.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield, but the specifications of the Sword Demon Tribe are too small, and there are basically no loot. Except for the source jade separated from the chief's body, there was nothing of other value. Alan picked up two iron swords used by the Sword Demon Knight, their craftsmanship is very rough, but they are full of alien style, and they are good to use as decorations.

"Sure enough, the Blade Demons are all poor ghosts."

Peter dropped a rucksack on the floor and sat down to drink. He picked up something from it and threw it to Allen, saying, "This is a memento for you." ”

Alan took it, and on the palm of his hand were the bones of some kind of beast. A strange symbol was carved on it with a sharp object, which seemed to be some kind of hieroglyphic type, and it looked like an abstract painting of a sword. The symbols are painted on the notches with blood or some kind of red paint, contrasting with the white bones of Sen Ran. Peter said: "This is the beheading order, and it seems that this humble little tribe has also received it." ”

"What else did you find?" Alan crouched down and opened his rucksack, which contained some strange ornaments, and even a blackened finger bone, and I don't know what it was.

Among them, there is also a broken stone fragment. The stone tablets are engraved with patterns, and it is a knife demon, and the carver uses sharp lines to show the picture of the sword demon being broken out of the body by something. Next to the sword demon, there is also a knife-like pattern. It didn't seem surprising, but when Eren tried to put it back, he froze.

Peter wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, by the way, give me this thing too." Alan shook the stone tablet and said.

"If you like it, take it, well, it's a good decoration."

Peter didn't know that Alan wasn't using it as an ornament at all. It's because on the pattern of the knife, there is a pattern of a demon statue on the hilt. The knife and the pattern of the demon were very simple and clumsy, except for the delicate lines of this demon pattern, and most importantly, it was very similar to the gem on the demon worship.

Back at base the next day, Alan locked himself in the workshop and let Adam keep the portal for him and not let anyone bother him. He took out the Knife Demon Stone Fragment and the Demon Praise, scanned the demon statues of the two with an instrument, and compared the images with his brain. The final conclusion was that the similarity between the two was as high as 92%. Aside from the lack of clarity due to some damage to the Blade Stone, it is almost identical to the gemstone statue on the Demon Praise.

Alan looked at the dagger in his hand in a daze, and the source weapon seemed more and more mysterious. Unexpectedly, in the Sword Demon Tribe, you will find relevant records about it, could it be that the demon praises it from the Underworld Star? If so, how did his father get it? Or did Archimedes once come to the Underworld Star and get this source device, then take it to Earth and give it to his mother?

"You mean, a device that can understand the language of the sword demon?" Kirgeth looked at Alan strangely, "You need this?" ”

It's the second day back at the base, and after discovering that there seems to be some kind of connection between Demon Praise and the Sword Demon Demon Yesterday, Eren feels that in order to solve this mystery, he probably has to start with the Sword Demon. Since this is the case, it is natural to understand the language of the sword demon first, so he asked Kejies about it.

Hearing Corges ask this, Alan couldn't tell the truth, so he could only make an excuse: "It's just a personal interest." ”

"Your interests are quite broad." Ke Ges thought for a moment and said, "There should be a language machine in the warehouse, and that's a nano device. The guò injection enters the body and eventually reaches the cerebral cortex and attaches to it. It allows you to listen and speak a variety of known alien languages, and was originally developed for colonization development, and has since been used in many areas of the Battlefield of Mayhem in terms of intelligence gathering. If you need it, go to the warehouse and pick it up. ”

"Thank you, Major."

Alan Shun received the language machine in the military warehouse, and after pressing it into his body with a syringe, he did not feel any discomfort. It's a pity that the sword demon captives in the base have already been taken to other places, and Alan can't try whether the machine will work, so he can only try again when he has the opportunity in the future.

A week later, the Bianjung army received a new dispatch letter, and they left the Blood Eagle base. Alan sent them to the bottom of the hill and watched as the transport truck drove toward the horizon of the wasteland. Half a month later, new news came from the front. The pre-war mobilization for the spread of death has been completed, and the march is made in batches to the center of the burning earth. At the same time, the migration tide of the Sword Demon tribe began to appear, and in late July, more and more traces of the Sword Demon appeared in the rear of the war zone.

Even rear bases such as Blood Eagle and Niru have repeatedly combined forces to sweep the Sword Demon Tribe that crossed the border. Allen's Flame Rifle began to make its mark on the battlefield, and after several successive small-scale positional battles, the Blood Eagle Base began to build a small arsenal to produce the Flame Rifle on an assembly line to meet the needs of the Blood Eagle and the other two surrounding bases.

In the days when the war between humans and sword demons was becoming more and more intense, Eren ushered in his first winter on the underworld star.

said that the outbreak of the big seal is yes, it is today. How many more? How many more? R1058
