"I'm sorry, you didn't exist long before you let you die. Bill lowered his hand and looked into the clone's eyes.

"The duke said, Chaowen said, Xi can die. I've come to this world once, and I've learned so much, and I'm very satisfied. ”

The clone's tone was neither agitated nor flat, as if it were recounting an ordinary event.

"Or ...... I'm so sorry. Bill sighed.

"No, at least the Duke gave me a chance, you see. Bill's clone lifted his hand, and there was something on it that resembled the Taiyin Immortal Ring.

"There's a lot of magic in it, and the Duke allows me to fight back, and if I can kill all the Assassins, then I can survive. ”

Bill Xin said that it was just a possibility, and that the Duke had always been cautious about clones, and after activation, their life was limited to five years, and they did not have any fertility.

Even if you win, so what?

Moreover, this body, the level has reached the ordinary level of forty, for a clone, it is at the cost of consuming vitality, and it may not even have half a year's lifespan now.

"And thank you for giving me life. The clone stepped forward and gave Bill a mage's salute.

Bill returned the favor and said, "Do you have any wishes?"

The clone pointed to the badge on his chest and said, "I know, what this thing is for." If I die, and there really is a soul that is absorbed into the badge, I hope that this soul will not become a source or something, and I want to live again, even if it is not the current me. ”

Bill nodded: "Don't worry, if you die, I will personally check this badge." If there is a soul, I will ask the Dean for help. ”

"Thanks, I know, he'll help. The clone's face was flushed with blood, and it was no longer so pale. His expression was filled with joy, and there was a faint look of yearning in his eyes.

"Then I'll go, and the body will be directly transported back to Sun City for disposal. ”

"I can't send you. The clone made a joke.

Bill saluted again, then put on his hood, turned and walked out of the room. After he covered his face, the whole person seemed to disappear, and the guards outside did not notice his departure.

The clone walked out of the chamber, turned and closed the door, then sat down behind the table, breathing deeply.

He remembered what the Duke had said to him after he had been made: "You are special, but you are not so special, because if you make enough of them, you will inevitably appear." So, you have to show that you are really different, such as knowing how to sacrifice. ”

At that time, I asked, "Aren't clones supposed to die generously?"

The Duke said: "No, only when you understand the preciousness of life will sacrifice become great, and your existence will make me feel worthy." A person who does not cherish life dies and is not worthy of regret. ”

Later, he was groomed to become a true magician and learned a lot of things that clones couldn't.

It seems that life is really beginning to be nostalgic, but the genes in his body are destined to not live long.

As an experimental subject, after having a mind of his own, it seems that he should betray?

No, it can't be called betrayal, it's called the fight for freedom.

The duke has said that the most precious thing for a person is freedom, but he has never had it.

On the desk, there is also a stack of military intelligence reports, copies of which have been approved, and here are the originals. He picked it up and looked at it for a while, thinking that he could handle it, but I don't know how Bill gave his instructions?

The Duke is an interesting man, and he has told himself several stories about the Creator being betrayed by the life he created.

The duke said that it was not a big deal, but most of the time, this betrayal, was just a tragedy.

Because of the arbitrariness of the creator, the created becomes worthless.

It's not the betrayer's fault, even if they never got it right. And the Creator is always right.

This hellish logical ring, even if he becomes a legendary mage, can't understand it. Is this the limitation of clones, or is it true that they don't have a soul?

Like the advanced constructs, they are able to think, judge, execute commands, and even learn and improve.

Why, not yet a human being?

The clone put down the file and spread out its palm, revealing a feather on it. It's the Floating Feather, and the only magic he can unleash without going through the net.

The duke said that it was because he longed for the sky and longed for freedom.

And the wish is refracted into reality, only to turn into a feather.

The black curtain descended from the sky, the blue moon could no longer be seen, and the pitch-black color spread out from the City Lord's Mansion and spread towards the entire Dongri City.

The clone looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, the darkness gradually approached, and the sound and color slowly disappeared.

"Soldiers, there is trouble in the city, prepare for Operation Four. The clone's voice was low, coming out the door.

The soldiers outside walked in and asked, "My lord, do you want to gather the mage group?"

"No, let them do the work, you just need to transfer a squadron of robots. ”

"Yes, sir. "The pro-soldiers retreated, and the entire team was put together temporarily, and most of the main forces of the dukedom went to the other world, and now there are very few who can be mobilized, and they are basically in Rhode Island. This was originally the elite of a battalion, but now it has been transferred out of Dongri Castle.

In the entire East Day Castle, there are no real veterans.

Rhode Island's definition of a veteran is a rookie who has actually been on the battlefield, not trained in a fantasy world. There is always a sense of unreality in the training in the phantom array, because there are very few real dead people.

After 10,000 trainings, not a single person will have an accident, and the mortality rate is about 1 in 100,000.

The condition of the dead is an accident, not a problem with the phantom array itself. There will always be people who will ignore the statute and die themselves, and the Duke says that this is human nature.

The dukedom has such a strict system, and it can't stop the people who are dying.

Humans love to die, clones want to live, alas......

The camp in Dongri Castle quickly became active, and one order after another was issued, and a large number of soldiers walked out of the barracks, ready to set off, not knowing what kind of madness Lord Bill had, and wanted to go out of the city to meet the enemy. You must know that a battalion of troops was transferred to Dongyin Mountain before, and now another battalion is mobilized to go out of the city for field battles.

The castle was empty, and if the enemy divided his forces, it would be difficult to defend against Tori Castle.

Everyone is worried because the army left behind in the city can't lead the full number of robot warriors like the battalion that went out of the city to fight.

Although there were more than 8,000 people left, the combat effectiveness was not as good as the battalion that went out of the city to fight in the field.

Bill didn't know why, and the clone didn't know either, this matter was actually commanded by Xia He remotely.

The sound of artillery gradually stopped, but the army of the Merriphon family had already suffered heavy losses, and the army was still gone, and the chariots, artillery, and airships that accompanied the army were almost lost.

But now that it's getting dark, the airship will land on the ground, if not shot down.

The army rested in place, abandoned its heavy weapons, regrouped, and accelerated its advance with 3,000 forwards in front, taking advantage of the cessation of artillery fire in the city, and approached Dongri Castle in one go.

Master frowned, he didn't expect the enemy to have so many cannons, and it wasn't magic cannons.

This kind of technological weapon, if there are enough magicians, can intercept it, but it will also wear away a lot of magicians' magic power, and if the number of cannons is enough, it may even cause the mage's magic power to dry up.

Therefore, when the sound of artillery stopped, he immediately organized 3,000 men to speed up the march and take the enemy by surprise.

But how did he know that the people in the city were simply fighting themselves, and quickly organized a battalion of troops to kill them from the main gate.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery rang out again in the city, and huge flares burned in the air, illuminating almost the land within a radius of ten miles. Three thousand forwards, the first time they crashed into the front of the Duke's army.

A standard infantry brigade, plus a tank brigade.

The 3,000 men of the Merriffin family are not cavalry, but standard heavy infantry. Normal heavy infantry has to put on armor when they arrive at the battlefield, but the military evolution of the main world is extremely fast, and after Xia He launched the Trojan Horse, because of the low price, everyone even bought and built, and the nobles who had a little money have now popularized the Trojan Horse.

Looking at the price, there is no difference between a Trojan horse and a war horse, but the most expensive thing about a war horse is breeding, tuning, training, etc., and the food is more expensive than that of ordinary soldiers.

After the Trojan horse was bought, the smallest furnace was used, the raw coal was consumed, and the parts were replaced.

In addition to not being able to charge, all kinds of cost performance have crushed the old-fashioned war horse. Now the cavalry of many nobles is pure giant wolf cavalry, and they no longer want to raise war horses.

Some have even built their own Trojans that can be used to charge, and even the giant wolves have been eliminated.

Three thousand strikers, all dressed in heavy armor, did not panic at all after being bombarded twice by the chariot.

"Dismount and assault!" an officer shouted loudly, and the voice spread through the magical equipment, covering the entire battlefield.

Because it was not a dense formation, the two waves of attacks only showed that they had lost less than a hundred people, and the heavy infantry in front got off the wooden horse and immediately pressed forward.

The battalion generals who went out of the city to meet the battle also sighed when they saw this scene, the Merifin family still has some elite soldiers.

In such an encounter, when attacked by a chariot, there is no confusion at all, and a counterattack can be organized immediately.

"The two wings of the chariot are separated, waiting for my order to attack. The battalion general judged the distance, and there were still more than 2,000 meters left on both sides, and it was impossible for the other party to rush to the front immediately after getting off the trojan. Although only three brigades came up on his side, and the rest of the men and horses were behind, there were two hundred heavy cavalry to arrive at the battlefield first, and the final word could be made.

"First Brigade, prepare to attack!"

The voice of the battalion commander reached the ears of the junior officers below through the magic array in the helmet. The team also slowed down and dismounted the Trojan Horse, and a magic net mage retreated the Trojan Horse to the back, and a standard brigade of infantry set up in front of the enemy.
