One of the legionnaires asked curiously, "Unbelievable, why do they believe in something that does not exist zài?" ”

"They were deceived."

Based on the memories of the rebel soldiers, as well as what he saw with his own eyes, Su Hao came to the following conclusion: "This is the real reason why we came here to destroy these things." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

……

From start to finish, the entire battle lasted more than three hours. The development of events was far less drastic than Lieutenant General Karakov had anticipated. The resistance inside the fortress was not fierce, and the number of dark creatures and rebels left behind was small. When the first qiē was over, the fortified fortress was reduced to a ruin in the smoke of gunpowder, and many sections of the walls were blown open, exposing the interior of the fortress to the dazzling sunlight, and the cold mountain wind "whirring" through, bringing in large flakes of snow and broken ice. The blood clotted and the corpse turned into ice.

Not a single legionnaire was killed, and not a single rebel and dark creature survived.

Wehrmacht collected corpses from all over the fortress, and legionnaires used chainsaw swords to split dead dark creatures and collect hedrons.

After praying for a dead Wehrmacht soldier, the chaplain Tolugar stood up from the corpse and walked to Su Hao's side. Turning to look at him, Su Hao asked, "How many rebels are there?" ”

"They're still counting corpses."

Tolugar turned his gaze to the Wehrmacht soldiers who were busy in the distance and replied: "As of now, three hundred and seven have been found. ”

During the attack, a total of more than twenty water pool shrines were discovered, and Su Hao ordered them all to be destroyed and burned with a flame gun.

It was a terrible feeling, especially when he thought of the rebel soldier's request for prayer before he died, Su Hao felt an indescribable gloom in his heart.

He took off his power gloves, pulled a cigarette out of his backpack, and gave one to Tolugal. This is a special offering of the main army, which has a refreshing effect, is not addictive, and can be obtained from logistics officers in different tastes and types according to the different needs of each person.

As he smoked a cigarette, Torugal sighed, "They are protecting the last habitat of their faith." ”

Su Hao's voice was very dull: "Even if it's it!" ”

Tolugar, keenly sensing his displeasure, asked, "Why, you don't like these heretical cults, do you?" ”

"I don't like to see people die senselessly."

Su Hao let out a large puff of smoke, which was mixed with anger that only he himself understood: "I hate that someone is like this, sacrificing their lives for a false belief. I don't feel comfortable looking at what they're worshipping. What kind of future can those dirty objects bring to them? We are human, Tolugar, human! I don't know why there are always people who keep creating lies, creating fanaticism, and creating so-called ghosts and gods that don't exist at all. This kind of mental anesthesia is really scary, many people are confused, and many people can't tell the difference between reality and illusion. They don't know anything, but they are pushed into battle by this fabricated lie. Those who were killed, do they really understand what faith is? They were just a bunch of corpses driven away, husks lost in the darkness. They have nothing, they get nothing! ”

"Yes, only His Majesty the Emperor can lead us out of that terrible madness."

Torugal patted Su Hao's shoulder in a friendly way: "So, in the face of these, you should be as optimistic as possible." We've killed a lot of them, but don't think too much about it. At the very least, we have ruined a stronghold of darkness and brought the truth to our lost compatriots. For those who are alive, this is the best help. ”

Su Hao took a hard puff of cigarette and nodded: "I feel sorry for them, they must be very afraid." ”

Tolugar asked, "Because of us?" ”

"Of course it's because of us, but that's not what I meant. They are terrified of the truth we bring. We will tell them that there is nothing in the universe that is higher than light, force, and human will. It is not surprising that they are so insistent on believing in their gods and souls. We have revoked their last of their ignorant churches, and until we arrived, they had lived in peace with a sense of security, believing that the Holy Spirit in whom they believed was watching over them, that there was another world and another life after death. They believe that they can transcend the physical body and achieve immortality. ”

This is not Su Hao's complete personal understanding, it is mixed with the memories of many rebel soldiers. From Redstone City to Konoha Town, Su Hao has come into contact with too many dark creatures and seen too much of the death they bring. Su Hao couldn't imagine that humans actually lived in the same fortress as dark creatures. Although it is not known why the rebel legion appeared? But Su Hao felt that this kind of thing was a mistake at all from the source.

Torugal has been observing the changes in Su Hao's feelings.

He saw Su Hao fighting bravely, and he saw Su Hao's anger in the face of evil heresy. There is no way to hide these things, and it is difficult for a person's heart to hide it with superficial muscle activity anyway. The bishop-teacher is right: to really know this person, you have to have real contact with him.

At least for now, Su Hao is a very good commander.

"Those rebels, they are now in a real soul cleansing."

Tolugar said with some mockery, "It's a lesson." In the long run, though, it's good for themselves. ”

Su Hao spat out a little cigarette residue from his mouth and said sullenly: "I think I'm just putting myself too much in their position." Their lives have become comfortable in their own myths, and we have taken that comfort away from us. What we show them is a difficult and unforgiving reality, life is short, and there is no such thing as fate and destiny. ”

"Speaking of which," said Torugal, "you should report to Army Group Headquarters that we have completed our mission." General Karakov can report our battle to the top. He has been asking the Holy See to have more clergy here. Now it seems that the general was right. ”

"I care more about the merits of the soldiers. It's important that they're no longer recruits from now on. ”

Just as Tolugar was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly stopped by Su Hao: "That strange sound, have you heard it during the battle?" ”

Torugal paused, thought for a moment, and replied, "After we crossed the stone bridge, it never appeared again. ”

Su Hao nodded: "I'm like this too." It's like a madman giving a boring speech. I just find it strange that the attacking forces didn't find any communications or broadcasting equipment here. How did that voice get into our communication channel? ”

Torugal shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows? There are always things in this world that can't be explained by common sense. I'm just a pastor, not a jack of all trades. ”

Suddenly, Su Hao's communicator rang. He clicked on the video switch on the side of his arm, and a legionnaire immediately appeared on the communication computer.

It was Coxon, a non-commissioned officer belonging to the 118th Combat Squad under Su Hao. He was over thirty years old, his helmet was open, his hair was unkempt, and he was still wearing a set of fiery red power armor, which looked unusually strong and sturdy.

"Sir?" His question was thick nasal.

Su Hao turned on the voice amplifier: "Coxon, if there is something, let's talk about it!" ”

Coxon's face was a little pale, he was not usually like this, and his sentences were stuttering incoherently: "Sir, I, I ......"

"What? What happened to you? ”

Su Hao frowned slightly, and his tone was aggravated: "What's wrong with you?" Repeat, Coxon? ”

"I'm sorry, sir, I think you'd better come and see this for yourself."

Coxen kept licking his lips, feeling strange and incomprehensible, with a very strong panic, even a hint of palpable panic: "I, I mean, I'm afraid I can't explain it to you." Here, there really are ghosts here! There are ghosts! ”

Torugal was also attracted by this obviously unreasonable words, and leaned over to Su Hao's side, staring intently at the panicked Coxen on the miniature screen.

Su Hao had a not-so-good feeling: "Sue me, where are you now?" ”

"Sir, you can find this place by following my location signal. Me, I found something. ”

Coxon on the screen panicked: "I found it, yes, I found it, it's here." It is telling me what death and the end really mean. ”

Su Hao subconsciously reached out and pulled out the arrow gun that was diagonally inserted in the side leg, and asked repeatedly: "Coxon, what did you find?" ”

"I, I...... I found it, the ghost, the ghost, it, it's here! ”

Communication was abruptly halted.

Torrugar's eyes were full of doubts, and he subconsciously asked, "What did Coxen find?" I remember him as a non-commissioned officer with a calm personality, and I have never seen him panic like he is now. ”

Su Hao thought about it for a while, and his frowning brows never relaxed. He switched the communication channel, connected to the pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan, and handed over the tail sweeping work to him to manage, and then transferred several other legionnaires to connect with the priest Torugal who was standing beside him, and walked into the depths of the fortress together.

Coxon's positioning signal is displayed on the screen all the time. Soon, Su Hao and the others had already come to the huge stone well located at the bottom of the fortress, equivalent to the core of the entire mountain range. They passed through a rotten steel gate embedded in the rock, and not far from the space opposite the gate was a large, vertical crack in the interior of the rock, which stretched diagonally downward, and in the abyss, there was only darkness. An old stone arch bridge is connected to the other side of the crestic, and the rock wall of the stone well is covered with flowing water.

The wind blows in through invisible crevices and passages, whirring.

Coxon stood alone on the edge of the cliff. When Su Hao and Torugal brought people here, Coxen stood there stunned like an unconscious sculpture, his face was pale, his eyes were black, and the surface of his power armor was covered with blood and flesh. His lips were bruised, and his face looked like a stiff corpse. If it weren't for the fact that the chest under the armor was still slightly undulating, it would be no different from a zombie.

At this distance, Coxen could clearly see Su Hao and the others who were walking from the opposite direction. Since he didn't say anything. I don't know why, Su Hao's previous bad feeling is getting worse and worse. He secretly tightened his grip on the gun, and at this moment, the voice of the priest Torugal suddenly came from the helmet headset.

This is a private, confidential channel between squad commanders and cannot be heard by others.

"I don't think there's something quite right."

Tolugar's tone was a little hurried: "Sir, where are the others?" I remember that Coxon was not alone in the search mission. He had four members of the team, but I couldn't find any sign of them on the positioning system, and there was no signal. ”

Su Hao's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice: "This is exactly what I want to know." ”

As early as when Coxon had just sent the news before, Su Hao had already noticed this.

The DS A66 space field is a full-fledged occupied space. General Krakow has already established a well-established two-tier network supervision mechanism here. Through the various launch towers set up inside the war zone, it is easy to find the location of every soldier in the area. The Yamaguchi Fortress happened to be located in the signal shroud area of the F18 position, and it was precisely because of this that Su Hao was able to know the coordinates of each legion soldier in the previous battle and give them different orders.

He remembered very well that when the battle was over, when he ordered to clean up the battlefield and search the mountain pass fortress, Coxen and his four members had a clear signal on the positioning system.

Now, out of Coxon, who was standing on the cliff opposite, there was no signal to find anyone else.

What's going on?

What is there in this strange fortress?

Thinking of this, Su Hao shouted at the opposite side: "Coxon! ”

Coxon lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. Although his expression was very frightened, Su Hao still keenly caught a trace of imperceptible coldness from it.

"Sir, I've been looking forward to your coming."

He repeatedly, "I found something wonderful, very interesting. ”

Tolugar asked, "What did you find?" ”

Coxen raised his right hand and pointed in the direction behind the crowd: "Did you see that?" See those words? ”

Su Hao turned around and looked towards the place Coxon was pointing. There are no words, only some snow melted water, flowing down the limestone pillars, forming a small pool in the hollow of the ground.

"There's nothing there, there's no writing as you say."

"Right there," Coxen's voice suddenly became louder, as if to scream, "right there, you should keep your eyes open and take a good look!" ”

Su Hao didn't turn around, he still walked briskly towards Coxen's location, and his mouth kept responding: "I can only see who, it's just running water." ”

The other fighters also quickened their pace.

"That's right! It's water, and they're in the water, and they're written in the flowing water. ”

Coxen burst out laughing without warning, and exclaimed in a shrill voice, "They're moving, flashing, do you see?" The water took the shape of the word, and then flowed away, but the new word reappeared. I promise, they're right there, you should take a good look and keep your eyes open and take a closer look! ”

The worry in Su Hao's heart became heavier and heavier, he didn't respond, and quickly ran to the bottom of the cliff with the team, which was already very close to Coxen.

"Sir, look at those words, can't you hear the water talking?"

"Pastor Torugal, the water dripping from above is so beautiful, it's talking."

"Talk?"

Torugal's thoughts at the moment were similar to Su Hao's, and they both thought that Coxon's thinking was obviously wrong. As he picked up his speed, he asked, pretending to be surprised, "What is it talking about?" My ears can't hear clearly, so it's better for you to tell me. ”

"I need to get out of here, it's full of dead people. I need help, and I hate the people who made this place like this. What did you do? You are bringing about your own destruction. What you do today will be the most cruel and painful revenge in the future. I curse you, I hate you. The world will eventually become nothingness, and everything will return to the original point. What you are proud of is nothing more than a pile of rancid garbage. You think that you have created the greatest being, but you don't think that it is just a devil dressed in a gorgeous garment. I will be waiting for you here, watching you all turn into nothingness. ”

Coxon repeated what Su Hao had heard in the F18 position before. Turning around, he looked at Su Hao and the others who had already run up the cliff and came to him, and there were words in his mouth: "I am who I am, I see the future that none of you can see through." There is no light there, and every qiē is returned to darkness. Here, I'm your only ......"

Before Coxen could finish speaking, Su Hao had already ordered the other legion soldiers who were following him: "Catch him!" ”

There were a total of five fighters, and this was all the people that Su Hao was able to call on and follow in a hurry. The legionnaires nodded, slung their shotguns to their shoulder armor, and strode over, surrounding Coxen from different directions, trapping him firmly in the middle.

Even without Su Hao's order, everyone could see that Coxen was not normal. But no matter what, he is his comrade-in-arms after all. People don't think Coxon is an enemy, he should just be haunted by this terrible place to the point of having some kind of delirious hallucination. This kind of thing happens a lot in battle, and the pharmacist can handle it well. All you need to do is bring Coxon back to the surface and inject a sedative, and the frenzied mixed mind will soon calm down. Kesen repeated what Su Hao had heard before on the F18 position. Turning around, he looked at Su Hao and the others who had already run up the cliff and came to him, and there were words in his mouth: "I am who I am, I see the future that none of you can see through." There is no light there, and every qiē is returned to darkness. Here, I'm your only ......"
