Chapter 1774: Revisiting the Snake's Nest
In the darkness, a human-like face emerged. Ruijin roared, and raised the cannon to fire, but that face quickly changed to Kira's. She screamed, "Captain, save me!" ”
"Kira!" Ruijin shouted, holding out his hand to her. Something seemed to be dragging her in the darkness, and she screamed, her face quickly drowned in the darkness. A moment later, a lizardman's head suddenly sprang out of it.
Ruijin yelled and sat up from the bed. He was covered in sweat, and the bed was wet with sweat.
It's been a few days since he came back, but he's had nightmares every night these days. Those terrible creatures, and the regret of not being able to save his companions, were tormenting him all the time. Ruijin felt that he had to make an appointment with a psychiatrist, and if he continued like this, he would not be able to perform even his normal tasks.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, he saw a man standing in the room, looking at a photo he had placed on the cupboard. The photo was a photo of his team, but now, there was one person missing from it permanently.
Ruijin said in a deep voice: "Who are you! ”
The man turned around, and it was a very young man. He has unusually striking silver hair and two red eyes. From his eyes, it was as if he could see a world of flames and lava.
Ruijin's heart jumped, remembering who he was.
"Your Highness Allen, why are you here?" Ruijin was surprised, and he had enough reason to be surprised. After he returned, he had already heard that His Royal Highness had visited the Bloodgate Fortress, but such a big man was too far away from him, and with the death of his team member Kira, Ruijin really couldn't be interested. He never imagined that one day he would be so close to that big man.
"Captain Ruijin." Alan nodded and said solemnly, "I'm sorry that one of your team members died in the line of duty. I'm still going to meet you, though, because I need you and your teammates to take me to that place. ”
"You're going to the snake's den?" Ruijin asked, the snake nest was the code name he gave to the valley, and now this code name is officially used.
"Yes, I want to go there. If necessary, I'll sweep that area so they don't threaten our zone of control. Alan nodded.
Ruijin's pupils gradually lit up: "This is great, if you are willing to make a move, those damn things will have to pay!" I'm ready to go. ”
"Tomorrow, then, you can be more prepared."
Alan left Ruijin's dormitory, and outside, a speeding car was waiting for him. He got into the car and returned to the fortress building. After Rusena got information about the lizard and other creatures, Alan decided to see it for himself. Judging from the information they fed back, the lizards, snake people, and lizardmen are like a systematic army.
Importantly, they are similar to the armies of the treasury. In addition to Shanna's army of Blade Runners, the army of Black Gates like Alice is an army of Zerg, made up of different similar bugs, and Queen Garter is the largest bug.
In addition, Russon mentioned that the lizard appeared suddenly three months ago, after converting the different time gaps between the planets. The time of the lizard's appearance seems to be the moment when he receives the first twilight will in the heavenly star.
Taylor had mentioned it when he fused with him, when he received the first Will of Twilight. Other twilight wills located throughout the universe will begin to awaken because of their resonance.
If this is the case, does it mean that there is also a twilight will awakened behind these lizards, so that the armies of these treasure troves are also active?
As for the specific situation, Alan had to go to the snake den to confirm it in person. Anyway, the specific coordinates haven't been analyzed by Adahuaxing's side yet, and Alan plans to take a trip.
After Allen left, Ruijin changed into a combat uniform and went straight to the training ground. As he expected, his players were on the training ground. Like Ruijin, they can't let go of the loss of Kira, and can only use training to vent their grief and anger.
Arriving at the room, Ruijin clapped his hands to attract their attention, and then gestured for everyone to gather. The team members walked over, and Ruijin said loudly: "A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Tracking expert Debang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's hear the bad news first." ”
"The bad news is that we have to go to the snake's den again tomorrow." Ruijin said solemnly.
When everyone heard this, their faces turned bad. The sharpshooter hesitated: "Although it is unlikely that we will refuse this order, can we ask General Russen to change the team, we are not in a good state now." ”
"It's unlikely." The other team member shook his head, and then said fiercely, "Forget it, just take revenge for Kira." Big deal, we're dying in that place too, and there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
"Chief, what's the good news?" Another female team member asked.
"The good news is that a big guy will go with us." Ruijin deliberately sold a pass.
The sharpshooter obviously didn't believe it: "Big man, big man will accompany us in danger?" They shouldn't be sitting in an air-conditioned office, just a little bit of brains with their hands, right? ”
"Head, who is that big guy?" Debang asked.
"It's His Highness." Ruijin finally couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, it's His Highness." ”
Although no name was mentioned, judging from Ruijin's demeanor and the so-called "His Highness" mentioned, the team members vaguely guessed who he was talking about, but the answer made them unbelievable.
"Head, are you talking about His Highness Allen?"
"Is it really him?"
"Great, if it's that Highness, we can avenge Kira!"
They shouted excitedly, so loudly that they attracted the eyes of the other soldiers in the field. Ruijin gestured for them to stop, and then said loudly, "Leave tomorrow, now you have a day to prepare." Everybody get moving, we need to apply for a report, bring enough ammunition and equipment. Hurry up, let's go our separate ways, be prepared, and go to the snake's nest tomorrow to kill him! ”
"Yes!" The team stood upright, everyone stood up and shouted, and then dispersed.
Ruijin clenched his fists, glanced in the direction of the snake's nest, and said, "Wait for us, Kira." We'll be taking revenge on you soon!
”
The next day, on the fortress airfield, Alan saw a team of high spirits. All the team members, including Ruijin, wore combat uniforms and equipped with different protective armor. Ruijin was wearing black metal armor, and with the machine cannon behind his back, he looked like a humanoid fortress. As for the others, the four officers who excelled in melee combat used heavy metal armor with a relatively large coverage, and carried weapons such as magical swords. The others, the Sharpshooter, the Tracker, and the only woman on the team, use lightweight, thin armor for ease of movement. On top of that, they brought several field backpacks with them, which were stuffed with supplies.
When he saw Allen, Ruijin stood up straight, kicked his left leg close to his right foot, and then separated his feet, and shouted behind his back: "Black rattlesnake squad, wait for His Highness to dispatch!" ”
"Waiting for His Highness!"
All the team members shouted in unison.
Alan nodded.
The team members were all looking at him, and today Alan was wearing a black robe with blood-red ornamentation on it. The robe has a stand-up collar and is decorated with gold epaulettes on both shoulders, which is typical of the nobility of the Shadow Kingdom. He didn't have any protective armor, and for Allen, armor had lost its meaning.
Behind him are Lucy, White, and the Imperial General Smiller. In order to facilitate her actions today, Lucy specially asked Lu Sen for a set of death spread combat clothes. The battle uniform with a dark background is worn on Lucy's body, and soft armor is added to the important parts, making her look like a female general in the legion.
Shiro wears loose, easy-to-move clothes, and no armor is visible on his body. Even the off-the-shoulder dress exposed both of his arms to the air, and his outfit was arguably defenseless at all.
In contrast to him, General Smiller wears an extremely heavy armor, which is typical of the Shadow Nation warriors. Smiler had an equally heavy cone, a serrated greatsword on his back, and two long knives pinned to his waist, so to speak, armed to the teeth.
"Let's go." Alan gestured and walked towards a battleship in front of him.
This amphibious Tiger Shark warship, with the functions of flying and diving, is just right for their operation this time. So Russon turned it over, and Allen and his party stepped onto the battleship, followed by Ruijin's Sidewinder team. A total of twelve people sat together in the spacious cabin of the Tiger Shark battleship, which did not look cramped except for the fact that Smiller's outfit obviously took up a lot of space.
The battleship took off and left the Bloodgate Fortress. Flying along the path provided by Ruijin, it took them three days to reach the tropical jungle-like area. Now there are battleships on their way, and after half an hour, a large dense forest can be seen under the battleship.
The dense forest is so wide that even if you look at it from high altitudes, you can barely see the edges. I saw a row of cloud-covered mountains in the distance blocking the dense forest, and behind that row of peaks was the location of the snake's nest. Thick clouds swirled above the mountain peaks, and lightning flashed from time to time, which was completely different from what Ruijin had seen in the valley.
It was an extremely thick storm cloud, and the fortress had been deserted since Ruijin returned. The aircraft conducted reconnaissance, but lost contact with each other after entering the storm cloud. So to enter the snake's den, the only way to enter is to take the path that Ruijin has walked.
Soon, the battleship lowered its altitude, and the wind blew the leaves low. With the help of the brain, the pilot lowered the battleship to the surface of a lake. Then the water mode was activated, the wings of the battleship were retracted, and the hull of the ship was lowered to the surface of the lake, and the outer layer of the ship was closed. When the baffle was raised, the battleship began to sink into the lake, and finally two pillars of light lit up at the end of the ship, and the amphibious warship sailed towards the bottom of the lake.
