Chapter 21 Sharp Edge
It wasn't until Li's figure disappeared that Rigoray turned back from the window and looked instead at the large battle map hanging from the wall. On the map, the area near the original Great Lakes is marked with several small scorpions, representing the vanguard of the Calamity Scorpion operating in this area. Rigore had fought more than once with the Calamity Scorpions under Su's leadership, so he naturally knew their strength and style. Since the vanguard of the Scorpion of Calamity is here, does it mean that the Dark Dragoon has lost the war? Knowing the power of the Dark Dragoon, it was hard for him to believe such an inference, but after all, the Calamity Scorpion had crossed thousands of miles and passed through the territory of several large and small forces, and appeared in the Western Regions of the Great Lake. Why is that?
However, at this time, Rigore could no longer think deeply and carefully, and his chest was always blocked with something, which made it very difficult to breathe.
He stared at the few tiny scorpions on the map, judging which of Leigh's troops might raid. He knows Leigh's character very well, and he is also an outstanding military commander, so it is difficult to make mistakes in judgment.
Li Gaolei suddenly strode to the wooden cabinet in the corner, and opened the cabinet door vigorously, and it was full of all kinds of firearms neatly stacked! He singled out two Magnum four-shot revolvers, fitted them with an aiming system, and put them in his waist, and loaded two more cartridges. Originally, I picked up a dragon spear-type assault rifle, but after thinking about it, I put it back.
Rigore stared at the battle map again, silently chose the target, and said to Quinn: "I have to go around the city, and the one here will be handed over to you." ”
"I knew you'd pick those two guns!" As he spoke, Quinn got up from the couch, walked over to Rigore, took out a small box of bullets from the pocket of his coat and underwear, and put it in Rigore's hand: "Take it!" I made my own bullets, but there were not many of them, so I kept them for life-saving purposes. ”
Rigore checked the box and knew that there were four bullets inside. The bullets made by Quinn must have been strengthened in their shaping ability, but it is not known how powerful they are. It can be seen that Quinn had anticipated what would happen today when he made the long knife for Leigh, and had prepared in advance. After experiencing the crisis of genetic disintegration, Quinn's ability to fight in middle age has degraded to the second order, and only shaping is not affected. However, his most valuable thing is his wealth of experience and life wisdom.
Rigore didn't say anything, just put the bullet away carefully, gave Quinn a strong hug, and walked out.
Quinn sighed, his voice filled with the middle-aged man's cangsang. He could see that the chances of Rigore's departure and coming back alive were not much better than Li's.
Su left suddenly, and the lives of their group changed dramatically. Although Su left a letter before leaving, making it clear that Rigore and Lilai would manage the vast area of the western region of the Great Lake, it is undeniable that the abilities of the three people did not form an overwhelming advantage, and it was quite difficult to rule over millions of people and more than 10,000 warriors. Quinn has the prestige, wisdom, and experience to manage the team, but if Rigore and Lido are gone, then his weakness of not being strong in combat will become very fatal. The leader of any organization must either have extraordinary strength himself, or he must have powerful cronies around him, all of which are indispensable. This is also the reason why Su handed over the Western Regions of the Great Lakes to Rei and Rigore, who were more combat-ready, rather than Quinn, who was more suitable for managing the territory.
Sue was a wonderful man, he looked very beautiful and clean, a little out of place in the environment of this era, and a little weak and unassertive. But in the end, everyone around him will listen to him, and Su will decide the next stage of the plan for everyone around him, and will naturally lead them forward. Sue was a natural leader, and perhaps he didn't realize it himself. In the past few years, he has been more like a big boy with an excessive sense of responsibility, working hard to make everyone around him live a better life, or simply to be able to live. And Su's luck has always been good, and his strength is growing steadily, enough to meet the requirements of a leader.
After returning from the western part of the mountain range, Su not only brought back a Sylvanas whose origin was a mystery, but also seemed to have become a different person in terms of personality. The sun disappeared from him, more gloomy and heavy depression. And Su exudes a faint coercion all the time, making the people around him subconsciously afraid and afraid to approach. This kind of coercion, Quinn has only felt in the general of the Dark Dragoon. He knew that this was a natural deterrent for those with Saint-level abilities against those with low-level abilities.
Although Su has changed a lot, one thing has not changed, that is, he is still trying his best to take care of everyone around him, even when he leaves suddenly, he has also thought of a way out for the three of them. Naturally, Quinn, who has an experienced life, will not fail to see this.
It's just that the human heart is the most complicated thing, and it is not just controlled by one or two good wishes, such as the changes in front of him, which are definitely not within Su's expectations.
"Boss, I'm afraid I didn't expect this to happen when you left, right?" Quinn thought with a wry smile and shook his head.
He was actually powerless to Lihe and Rigore's insistence, and even if he wanted to stop it, he was powerless. This is the characteristic of this era, and at the most critical time, only strength can determine a qiē.
Quinn went to the unclosed weapons cabinet, looked at it, selected a handleless dagger and a high-powered pistol from it, carried it with him, and closed the door carefully. After doing this qiē, Quinn naturally added a wisp of murderous aura to his body.
Leigh is gone, Rigore is gone, and they will probably never come back. The entire Western Regions of the Great Lakes were placed on Quinn alone. He decided that if anyone wanted to challenge his authority, he wouldn't mind having their head smashed or had their head smashed by a single shot.
A few days later, on the border of the uninhabited area of the western region of the Great Lakes, several battles broke out one after another.
A light eight-wheeled armored off-road vehicle rushed wildly, and the four wheels on one side crushed the corpses of two soldiers, and the entire hull of the vehicle tilted and flew out! But in the air, its eight wheels suddenly elongated under the control of the hydraulic mechanism, like the long feet of a spider, and after landing on the ground, the body of the car was topped a few times, and then it regained its balance. At the rear of the roof is a one-and-a-half-meter-long metal pillar, on which a remote-controlled twin-mounted rapid-fire machine gun is erected, firing 14 standard anti-aircraft machine gun rounds newly developed by the Calamity Scorpion, and the fire is extremely ferocious. This machine gun can shoot through the armor of lightly armored targets at a range of 400 meters, and combined with its superior speed and all-terrain ability, it is completely the king of the battlefield except for the main battle vehicle.
But the man sitting in the off-road vehicle arms control room was not easy at all. His hood was in a holographic helmet, but sweat was running down his cheeks like a tide. His hands frantically pulled the lever and kept shouting, "I'll shoot you!" Shoot you! …… , run away again! ”
The twin rapid-fire machine guns spat out long chains of fire and whipped the ground in front of them. In the flying dust, there was a slender figure doing all kinds of dodging maneuvers quickly, and finally dodged the rapid-fire machine gun fire with a continuous roll, rushed into the dead end of the shooting, and staggered with the off-road vehicle.
At the moment when people and vehicles met, the young girl suddenly bounced up from the ground, and a shock suddenly lit up between her hands! The lightning slashed diagonally across the off-road vehicle and reconverged into a staggering two-meter-long knife.
The shooter who was operating the remote-controlled machine gun suddenly went black in front of his eyes, and the holographic screen went completely dark. As soon as he took off his helmet, he saw the empty wilderness! This is a closed weapon control cockpit, how can you see the wilderness?!
Only then did he realize that the off-road vehicle had been split into two at some point, and the first half was still rushing forward, getting farther and farther away from him. On the weapon pedals of the first half of the body, two broken legs can also be seen. The two legs looked very familiar, and the shooter suddenly realized that it was his legs!
He lowered his head, looked at his legs that were almost completely gone, and finally screamed uncontrollably!
After slashing the off-road vehicle with a knife, the girl did not stop at all, but crossed the off-road vehicle and rushed towards the dozen blue scorpion infantry behind the car. The warriors of these Calamity Scorpions were clearly well-trained, and all of them possessed at least Rank 2 abilities, and a third of them had a Rank 3 level, completely reaching the level of ordinary Dragoon Riders. Although they were surprised by the terrifying lethality of the girl's long knife, they formed a crossfire network in an instant. Instead of dodging, the girl jumped up, her body pressed against the long knife, and she protected her head with the alloy armor on her arms, and forced her way through the net of fire like a cannonball!
More than ten blood flowers bloomed on her body, and then brilliant sword light began to bloom on the battlefield.
Leigh fell to the ground, her beautiful face half-buried in the dust that still smelled of gunpowder, and the blood and dust on her short maroon hair turned into mud, sticking her hair into pieces. Leigh's eyes widened, her pupils no longer focused, but her right hand still clutched the long knife tightly.
But on Rei's face, there was a distinct smile, a weird and crazy smile.
The smile became more and more obvious, and her pupils became more angry, and she grasped the hand of the long knife and moved it, approaching her body with difficulty and slowly. As if it had exhausted the strength of her life, Licai propped up her upper body, and the blood was pouring from the tips of her hair, neckline, and sleeves, and dripping onto the charred earth. She slowly moved her right leg, supported her body with her knee, and finally stood up after several twists and turns.
Her trembling hand pulled out a finger-sized first-aid injection from her waist and stabbed it hard into the side of her neck, and half a minute later, an unnatural blush swept across her face. Some of the energetic Rei coughed violently, blood foaming from her mouth and even her nose. Her battle suit was soaked in blood, and the light alloy armor she wore on important parts was full of cracks, and there were several pierced holes on it, and blood was also gushing out. The blood on Rei's body is not all that belongs to the enemy, and many of it belongs to her.
Rei moved slightly, then swung her long knife. This swing of the knife was slow and weak, but it made her feel very satisfied: "Damn, it seems that she can't die again this time!" ”
She suddenly burst out laughing maniacally, but two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably.
Rei dragged her body slowly through the corpse-strewn battlefield towards the Iron Gate. The radiant clouds suddenly cracked a crack, revealing half of the setting sun, and the blood-like sunlight dyed every Qiē in Li's eyes a thick layer of red.
Rei involuntarily narrowed her eyes, and suddenly a faintly tall figure appeared in her sight, outlined by a rich dark red.
"It seems ......familiar," thought Leigh, her thoughts slow and her vision blurred at times clear and blurry due to blood loss. The glare of the sun interfered with her observations.
The figure drew closer, and Leigh could tell that he was holding a large pistol in each of his lowered hands. But instead of feeling hostility, she felt a sense of warmth. In the extreme cold, this warmth seems so precious.
The two men slowly approached, and Rei finally recognized that it was Rigore. He was wearing an open shirt, and his bare chest was also covered with large patches of blood, and two bullet holes with purple and black blood stains could be seen. It seems that Rigolei's situation is only slightly better than Leigh's.
Leigh stood staggering, threatening to fall at any moment, she looked at Rigolei and asked intermittently, "Is that you?" Why are you here? ”
Rigolei's voice was still as loud as ever: "I just killed a detachment of scorpions, and then I'll come over to see how things are going on on your side." As he spoke, two lines of blood erupted from the bullet hole in his chest, but Leigh couldn't see this clearly.
Li snorted: "You have seen it, the old lady is out of the horse, and there will be a living mouth under her subordinates?" Cut off the, get a cigarette! ”
Li Gaolei looked embarrassed, and touched his body for a long time, but he didn't even find a cigarette butt. He fought a bloody battle, and he didn't even know where to throw the medical kit on his body, and he still cared about protecting the cigarettes on his body?
But Liz didn't need a cigarette at the moment, she shook it, and suddenly fell headlong. But instead of falling to the ground, she collapsed into the crook of a pair of strong arms. The swelling muscles, the burning touch, and even the pungent smell of gunsmoke and blood mixed together all gave people a strong sense of security at this moment.
Rei's whole body went limp, but she didn't faint. She felt Rigore turn, carry her on his back, and carry her towards the Iron Gate. His steps weren't fast, but they were steady and steadfast, and through his clothes and armor, Leigh could feel the powerful pulse of his heart in his chest.
Li suddenly felt very relieved and safe, and her body, which had been tense, finally relaxed and lay down on the man's back.
It is more than a hundred kilometers away from the Iron Gate, and according to Rigolei's injury, it is difficult for him to walk back, not to mention carrying a person? But his footsteps and his momentum make people have to believe that he will definitely be able to walk back to the gate of steel.
The radiant clouds closed again, and the wilderness grew dark.
On the empty wilderness, the two figures moved slowly, looking lonely, but not lonely.
"Leigh."
"Huh?"
"What's next for you?"
"Recuperate, kill scorpions."
"I mean, after that? As it stands, sooner or later, the two of us will be able to kill all these scorpions. ”
Leigh was silent for a moment before she said, "I'm going to wait for him to come back, and then ...... Have another child. ”
Rigolei grinned wide, smiled silently, and said, "Good idea. ”
From beginning to end, Li's hand never let go of the long knife, and the long blade dragged on the ground, plowing a straight thin mark. Having traveled so far and killed so many people, the blade was as sharp as ever.
