Chapter 1: Heroes of Battle

"Dangchang!" As soon as Qin Lun opened his eyes and raised his hand, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing on his body.

"Shackles?" He looked at the handcuffs on his wrists and frowned slightly.

Qin Lun looked up, his eyes flashed with a slight green fluorescence, the night vision ability of the moon night elf was enough to turn night into day.

It was a dark and filthy cell, the bluestone bricks on the floor were cold and damp, the cold air penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the blackened walls emitted an indescribable stench. There was a single bed by the wall, the iron foot was covered with dark red rust, and the thin quilt on the bed showed black cotton wool stuck together in tatters. There is a dung pit in the corner of the wall, and the black and yellow dirt on the side makes people nauseous.

"I hate this place!" Qin Lun made no secret of his irritability, his previous life as a prisoner made him have an extraordinary aversion to all arrangements that restricted his freedom.

Standing up and taking two steps, Qin Lun stumbled. Looking down, he saw that he still had a thick shackle attached to his ankle, and the chain was fastened to the wall, only enough for him to move around half of the cell.

A strange feeling arose in Qin Lun's heart, his eyes that flashed with green fluorescence slowly reddened, and a low roar like a trapped beast came from his throat. Just as he was about to explode, a circle of ripples rippled on the pitch-black wall opposite, and a picture like a black film film appeared.

This black-and-white silent film is about a war. Wearing steel helmets, they lined up in a neat queue to inspect the phalanx of troops in the square; towed howitzers with towering barrels like forests; A huge battleship that cleaves the wind and waves in the ocean......

a swarm of fighter jets whistling through the sky like dark clouds; bombers that drop bombs on the city below like old hens laying eggs; Tanks rumbling across trenches; The plain battlefield full of rotting corpses and war-torn battlefields......

Until Qin Lun saw the thin but impassioned mustache on the podium in the movie; the elderly gentleman in a wheelchair; the fat man in the tweed coat; The politician who wore a wide-brimmed military hat and always carried a large pipe......

Only then did he come back to his senses, and he bowed his head in surprise and whispered: "The Second World War in the old century of the earth? ”

Some of the images in the film are different from what he reads about history, but it's clear that it's about the Second World War. The movie played quickly, reaching the end in just ten minutes, and then rows of prompts appeared that only the apostles could understand.

World Scene: A parallel world to Earth

Time: January 25, 1945, 11 a.m

Location: Munich, Germany, Gendarmerie Prison

Main Quest: Hercules

Difficulty: Sergeant Major ~ Quasi-Colonel rank

Quest Tips: This quest is a team quest, the Apostle will be assisted by the plot characters, the specific content is unknown, the quest reward will be distributed according to the Apostle's contribution value in the quest when returning. The main quest has several hidden branches, and completing any of them is considered to have achieved the mission objective.

Warning: The difficulty of the main story hidden branches varies from Sergeant Major to Quasi-Colonel, and with the assistance of the plot characters, the difficulty of the mission can be considered a downward level. The scope of application of the sergeant major rank is the first grade of apostle, and the scope of application of the associate colonel rank is the second grade of senior apostle or the third grade of junior apostle. Please be cautious when taking on tasks. Any hidden branch that does not complete the main quest will deduct 55 Soul points from the Apostle.

"Another human-dominated mission world!"

Qin Lun's attention was not focused on the prompt information of the death list, but instead muttered to himself. This world is already the third time and space world he has entered, all three worlds are dominated by humans, and they are all involved with the earth to a certain extent, and it seems to be a different time and space based on the history or mythology of the earth.

The apostles themselves are only soul bodies, and the outward law body is capable of transforming into any form. In a sense, they can become any living being, capable of entering any non-human-dominated plane of space-time. For example: the world of the mechanical family, the world of silicon, the starry sky of the universe......

"Is it because I am originally a human being that I am confined to a mission world with humans as the main body by the Shattered Starry Sky? Or is it because my strength and apostle level are not enough to access other high-tech and high-magic worlds? ”

Qin Lun's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought, forgetting the dirty and sloppy black prison environment around him for a while.

"Boom!" Just as Qin Lun was thinking, the sound of unlocking came from the door of the cell.

"Wash him up and take him to the interrogation room!" A few words of German, with a strong Munich accent, came from the door.

Several tall German soldiers poured into the cell, untied Qin Lun's shackles, unceremoniously crossed his arms, and carried him out of the door. Suddenly, from the dark cell to the bright corridor, Qin Lun couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the green light in his eyes quietly disappeared.

The German soldiers carried him to a shower room, and when they untied the handcuffs and asked Qin Lun to wash his body, he realized that the dirty and tattered prison uniform on his body was actually a gray German military uniform.

Is the deceased also a German soldier? Qin Lun stood naked with his head tilted under the head of the lotus shower, hot water sliding down his cheeks and broad chest, brushing away the dirt all over his body.

Qin Lun immersed his consciousness into the remnants of this body......

Gerhard Heinrich: Twenty-eight years old, born in Obenkozen, Hanover, to a country farmer. He joined the army in 1936 and received short-term officer training at the Munich Military Academy during the war, and is now a member of the German Mountain Chasseur Corps, where he is a second lieutenant platoon commander in the Alpst Brigade of the 1st Division.

Gerthard was a German, calm and stoic, skilled in marksmanship, and outstanding in military skills. The reason for this imprisonment was that he was involved in a soldier's fight in a tavern, and the details of the incident are unclear, probably because Gerthard drank a lot of alcohol at the time, and his memory was lost after his death.

However, the cause of Gerthard's death is clear, the able-bodied German officer committed suicide. His parents, wife, and children seem to have died in Allied bombing, and the German second lieutenant, who had received the bad news, got drunk in the tavern, and then it was time for the fight.

After being imprisoned, Gerthard felt that he had lost his military honor and purpose of life, and he chose to commit suicide in despair. It's just that the suicide method chosen by Gerthard did not appear in his memory, as if he wanted to die and died silently.

Qin Lun finished washing his body, turned off the faucet, and looked at the wet face in the washing mirror. The German man in the mirror has a high nose, thin cheeks, and lips pursed like knives. In the deep-set eye sockets, the pair of light gray eyes as sharp as a owl are impressive.

This is a stereotyped, tough, cruel and indifferent man! The corners of Qin Lun's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange arc, he likes to play such a role.

"Second Lieutenant, this is your uniform!" When Qin Lun came out of the shower room with a towel, a German gendarme handed over a brand-new military uniform, "Please dress up immediately, the lieutenant colonel is waiting for you!" ”

Dressed in military uniform, the German gendarmes led him through several aisles and into a closed interrogation room. Qin Lun noticed that the walkway here was completely windowless, and the air circulation basically relied on exhaust fans, guessing that this place should be underground or in the belly of the mountain.

The interrogation room was empty, except for a rudimentary desk, a few meters in front of which a wooden bench stood behind a German school officer.

The officer was a burly officer, more than six feet four inches, or more than one meter nine in height. He had a huge scar on the left side of his face from his chin to his sideburns, and he was staring at Qin Lun who walked into the room.

Qin Lun's pupils shrank, the Gerthard he possessed was a pure German soldier who cared almost nothing except war and weapons, but he had the officer's name in his mind.

Otto Skolzny!

Skolzny's head was shrouded in numerous dazzling halos: the German combat hero, the commander of the special forces of Oningburg, the miracle rescuer of Mussolini......

He was responsible for stopping the Hungarian dictator Horthy's Iron Fist operation to turn his back on the Axis powers, and sent commandos to infiltrate the rear of the Allied forces in disguise to wreak havoc, which had a great impact, and was once called "the most dangerous man in Europe" by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Qin Lun took two steps forward, straightened his waist and raised his chest as Gerhard remembered, and looked at Skolzny with an indifferent expression.

"Second Lieutenant Gerhard Heinrich, who was awarded the Iron Cross of the 1st Class for his bravery in battle!" Skorzny gestured to the wooden stool, turned back to his desk, picked up Gerthard's papers, and examined them.

"Do you remember how you ended up in prison?" Skorzny's sharp eyes stared at Qin Lun.

"I don't remember!" Qin Lun replied expressionlessly.

"You provoked a fierce fight in a tavern full of officers, and of the more than twenty people you wounded, seven were seriously wounded, five of whom have died, including two Wehrmacht lieutenants and an SS major!" The corners of Skorzny's mouth twitched slightly as he read Gerthard's information.

According to the gendarmerie officer who recorded this information, they sent two squads of armed gendarmes to suppress Gerthhard, but they were all routed by the second lieutenant of the mountain division wearing edelweiss, and finally he himself fell to the ground drunk, and they tied him to the gendarmerie headquarters.

When Gerthard woke up, he seemed to realize that he might not be able to escape military justice, and felt that he had lost his honor as a soldier. At the same time, his relatives have all passed away, and he can no longer have a love, so he chooses to commit suicide in a prison cell.

The association in his mind flashed away, and Qin Lun still pursed his lips tightly, not defending himself.

"Ensign Heinrich, you were once a German battle hero! I can understand your pain, but I don't appreciate your choice! Skorzny tapped his fingers on the table, stood up and pressed the table, leaning over to look at Qin Lun, "Let's be more direct, I have a mission that requires a strange man with particularly strong combat power to complete." Do you want to wear a crime and make meritorious service? Still rotten in a cell! ”

"Does Germany still need me as a sinner?" When he spoke again, Qin Lun found that his voice was extremely hoarse.
