Chapter 761: The grudge deepens
While Kane despises the Ten Witches' one-handed death, he is naturally associated with the strange kidnapping case carried out by the Atonements.
It's not that there is any interaction between the two organizations, but the projects they carry out are also big actions that violate the ban.
Generally speaking, even a powerful transcendent force would not easily engage in such a thing, after all, even if the danger of the operation itself is not considered, the impact must be considered.
It's like blatantly buying materials to make a bomb, and the neighbors are not dead, and people will be worried, and they will even poke at the institutions that have the ability to manage them, or organize a boycott.
So, even if you pass the test safely, how long will it take to eliminate the impact so that your neighbors will no longer stare at you with vigilant eyes and treat you differently?
And one of the biggest problems here is that you can't move to another place, and you have to deal with these neighbors every day.
Therefore, whether it is an individual or an organization, most of the things to do are to be considered clearly.
To quote the saying that has been used by people, without more than 300% profit, who will play so badly?
Well, let's just say that the profits are really amazing, and these extraordinary organizations with a background have pinched one or two similar projects through their own channels, prepared in an orderly manner, and finally accumulated to the point where they can be used, so they started.
The timing seems to be good, the attention of the Amagi-level transcendents is basically attracted by Sino Island, and the series of losses and nightmares have made them anxious, which is indeed convenient for them to take advantage of loopholes.
Kane, who is suspicious by nature, always feels that the truth is more complicated, the atonement faction is dead, and the transcendent forces such as the benevolence faction are also showing some anger, and now the Ten Witches will engage in this kind of death project. Behind all this, there seems to be some kind of spur force that makes these people work hard.
Is it because of the rapid rise of human civilization, the overall strength has been strengthened from the domestic pig in the eyes of mythical creatures to the level of mammoth pigs, breaking the original balance, and beginning to be targeted by various mythical creatures.
When Kane was on Sinoe Island, he felt the racial strength of mythical creatures by wrestling with deep divers and other evil creatures, and then reasoned about the reason why human civilization can develop and grow in the cracks of such mythical creatures.
To have such a line of thinking actually has a lot to do with the fact that Kane's deity, Zhao Wenrui, comes from the flower grower of the origin world. After all, the rise of the flower grower is to make a fortune by pretending to be a pig, from the nine years of the 20th century to a few years of the 21st century, 20 years to endure the pain of being stabbed, complete the corner overtaking, and achieve an economy that has attracted the attention of the world.
As a witness, Zhao Wenrui was naturally impressed. Although Kane Money, as a secondary incarnation, does not have specific information about it, this pattern exists in memory as a category of experience.
Therefore, when he found that the mythical creatures of the Deep Diver and the like, whether in number, strength, or even activity, exceeded his estimate by a lot, but human civilization has not been greatly affected and has grown all the way to its current scale. Inevitably, analogy and speculation followed.
Pigs can no longer be dressed, the mythical races have changed from the original pig house to strengthen the pig house and pig taming, and the future trend is to intensify the tearing between humans and mythical creatures.
Such a tear would obviously violate the vested interests of the transcendent forces, who are the ones who enjoy the greatest fruits of human civilization. Then, through some extreme means, it is reasonable to obtain a powerful force that is impossible to obtain in a short period of time under ordinary circumstances, so that the influence can be expanded and the pig house can be defended by retreat.
With this speculation, Kane naturally will not easily explore deep into the force field area.
Although he broke the good deeds of the Ten Witch Society, and destroyed many of their soldiers, no matter how you look at it, the two sides have a deep grudge, but this is still not enough to justify him in the minefield.
He didn't know the mechanism of space-time replacement, if it was controlled by the Ten Witches, seeing that the situation was not good, he would replace and restore him with one hand, and leave him on the throne planet of some of the old rulers, then his adventure would probably come to an end.
What's more, he had already provoked the Tyndallus Hounds, and daring to set foot in the area under the jurisdiction of this super space-time spell was tantamount to taking the initiative to send it to the mouths of the hounds, and he didn't feel ready to fight with the hounds on a daily basis now.
Cairn sent two mechanical leopards and had them carry cameras and camcorders to approach the city to shoot. He himself called Oliver again to inform him of the latest discovery.
He believes that there are still people who care about this wave of operations of the Ten Witches, such as Texas, Colorado, and Arizona, all of which are adjacent to New Mexico, and it is unlikely that the Ten Witches will make trouble, or at least exert pressure.
And an organization like the Ten Witch Society, which acts treacherously and fiercely and has a poor reputation, has most offended many people, and those who have old grudges with it should not mind taking the opportunity to come out and step on a few feet.
The worst thing is that Blood Voodoo and the Ten Witches will be mortal enemies, and if the news is stabbed to them, most of them will also take the opportunity to attack. Of course, Blood Voodoo should also know that others want to use them to fight to the death with the Ten Witches, but even if they know, they can't refuse, if they want to see that the Ten Witches will be unlucky, and then they are willing to give some support, it would be better.
All in all, Kane believed that with Goliath's means and abilities, he could operate this wave of information well.
Kane confronts Oliver over the phone, and Oliver understands Kane's intentions. Oliver didn't do a big deal, but said that he would pass the information upwards, and he would give feedback on what the decisions would be made from above.
That's enough. Kane didn't believe Goliath could hold his breath and not take advantage of the message.
Ended this call, the mechanical leopard also returned, a total of three, lost one, there is a magic trap in that town, with the ability of the mechanical leopard is naturally impossible to resolve once it is hit, then the self-destruction procedure will be activated.
When Kane learned of this, he became more and more reluctant to take risks.
The reason is very simple, what kind of town will arrange all kinds of magic traps inside? This is not a burglar-proof underground palace and ancient tomb, this is a place of life, is it too comfortable and pleasant to make a bunch of traps?
The malice is too obvious, and only those who are too greedy, or lucky, are biased towards Hushanxing.
"Wrap up the team and go to Hopetown. ”
Since there is no intention of deep involvement, then withdraw immediately, Kane does not have any nostalgia, and retreats directly.
A little over an hour later, the convoy arrived in the town of Hope.
It's just past midnight, and Hopetown, though a guarded town, doesn't have much of a decent nightlife, except for motels, gas stations, and a bar that serves some quick food.
Kane's convoy didn't really have a demand for supplies.
The Fire Eaters feed on transcendent energy, and the elementalization of the body is their goal. At present, a certain amount of ordinary nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins) are also needed, but ordinary eating methods have been abandoned, and they are processed into paste through blenders, juicers, etc., and then swallowed, so that efficient digestion can keep up with consumption.
As for Kane himself, there is everything in the RV, and there is no need to run this kind of backcountry to try the food.
But there are other needs, so that's another story.
With a command, the team moved in full force, assigning men from all directions to set up temporary positions and surround the town.
Kane, on the other hand, took his guards and reserves and went straight into the town, and the aerial sensing prism vehicle always kept a relative distance, making him a large probe specifically for transcendent beings.
Before Kane could reach the middle street, the town's sheriff was pulled out of the bed by Coffey.
Kane is now a member of the NSA, and he can do things aggressively, but it is better to go through the procedure.
In fact, the Federation, like the United States of origin, is full of localism, and the poorer it is, the more it hates outsiders to interfere in the local judiciary, and no matter what your origins are, you are not welcome. An important reason is that the local judiciary operates on the taxpayers' money of the year, and if they don't eat you or drink you, they don't want to be disciplined. The concept of federation is not just talk.
But a special department like MF is still relatively open. Unconsciously, ordinary people are reluctant to get involved in otherworldly events, wishing that there would be an officially appointed exorcist or something to solve this kind of problem. Especially in the context of the relative superstition of human beings all over the world.
Kane didn't find it strange that the human technology in this world is so advanced, and it is still superstitious, after all, it is also a world where true gods, extraordinary creatures, and extraordinary phenomena exist.
According to Oliver, there are more than 1,800 organizations in the world that have been designated as cults, and this is not counting the fact that the Ten Witches are too powerful and have become a powerful force that is half black and white.
Kane, based on his own observations, also felt that the situation was similar. If nothing else, what happened to him in Paradise City, where Lana studied, was enough to show how prevalent all kinds of transcendent organizations and evil god worship groups were. And behind this, there is naturally superstition, there is not enough faith foundation, no one cares, how can it be lively?
In addition, Kane also learned from Jamie early on that the more remote the land, the more likely it is to give birth to evil god worship. That is, the dark culture and bloody customs of the group that is officially described as primitive and ignorant, full of lynching, and voluntarily deviating from the mainstream of civilization, and not necessarily believing in an old evil god.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the avenue, there is no such anomaly in Hope Town, and Kane asked the local sheriff to be nothing more than a witness, to put it bluntly, with the official banner, to arrest the extraordinary people here.
In Kane's mind, the transcendent people who are now hiding in this town. Most of them are members of the Ten Witches Society, and they are specifically responsible for confusing ordinary people on and off the road and making them take a detour.
The project started by the Ten Witches Society this time is obviously more time-consuming, so correspondingly, it is impossible for ordinary people to detour through the confusion control arrangement once and for all, and it has to be maintained regularly, which is why there are members of the Ten Witches Society in the town.
The capture process went smoothly, mainly because Kane's team tactical style is strange, which is significantly different from the mainstream tactical use of the transcendents of this era.
The transcendents of this era also recognized the power and value of the thermal weapons used by mortals, and made certain attempts.
For example, the MF department under NAS, as well as some other military and paramilitary agencies, and even local departments, such as the Light City Special Affairs Bureau under which Nia belongs, can be regarded as pilots. How to organically integrate supernatural power and mundane power and complement each other has always been a hot topic.
However, the theory extends to the concrete operation, and for one reason or another, it becomes stumbling. Far from it, taking the two rescue operations on Sinoe Island, it is obvious that the cooperation is superficial, and there is no in-depth integration, and even each other has become a constraint rather than a complement.
From the perspective of mortal combat power, ordinary special operations officers and soldiers believe that having a supernatural person can shield them from the interference of transcendent means such as confusion and illusion. Once this kind of spell is put aside, and the combat bombardment of the plastic energy system is entered, the mortal guns are still quite powerful. As a result, their wishes were frustrated.
From the perspective of extraordinary combat power, we always subconsciously count ordinary special operations officers and soldiers as part of their combat strength, and when it comes to it, we have a few hundred people this time, even if it is a few hundred pigs, we have to kill them for a while......
But in fact, it really began to tear up, and the transcendents found that mortals were really not powerful, let alone alone, and it was good to be able not to be burdensome.
That is to say, both of them are counting on each other, and neither can be counted on the result, and this is the pot of insufficient integration from technology to operational ideas.
Kane's team doesn't have such problems, and the routines in his hands are all in shape.
Even the most ordinary temporary puppets have corresponding technical support. For example, let them obey their words, not be afraid of death, and be very affected by confusion control, so as to ensure execution, as well as the effective output of combat power.
And the current fire eater is a technological weapon that uses transcendents to control the magic change, and according to the characteristics of the weapon, it uses mortal tactics to make the weapon play as long as possible.
It's more human.
The reconnaissance was the first to be in place, and the enemy attacked first, and it was a long-range strike, which did not give the target a chance to shoot at all. And the fighting spells commonly used by transcendents are 300 meters away, generally within 100 meters, or even tens of meters.
One eliminates the other's strengths, and naturally it is pressed and beaten, and it basically collapses after a round.
Kane glanced at the five blood-snorting transcendents like a piglet, and pointed to one, "Heal him." ”
The remaining 4 were sentenced to death, and the next moment they became spontaneously combusting burning people.
This kind of burning alive can stimulate soul power and get more essence.
Kane's operation of not interrogating or torture, and directly burning to ashes left a deep impression on the sheriff of Hopetown. As for the finishing clean-up afterwards, the abnormal cooperation.
Kane really had no intention of torturing him for information.
Like this kind of first-line horseboy, if the question is deep, he doesn't know, and if the question is shallow, there is no value in asking at all. To put it mildly, Kane probably knows better than all of them about the technical system and specific operation of the Ten Witches. Mainly because he has enough experience, as soon as he listens to it, he has a spectrum in his heart, what black voodoo is, and what kind of height he can reach according to the past of the transcendent people in this world, he can guess these things, and he can always guess correctly.
For example, if necessary, he can stimulate the Nightmare Seed again, play the Nightmare output, and change the exotic towns in that force field from hard difficulty to hell difficulty, he believes that this operation is enough to pit the Ten Witches.
Regardless of factors such as whether he can afford it, Kane still has a lot of treatment at hand. For example, an alchemy potion can cause cells to multiply wildly, but this ultra-rapid healing can bring unimaginable pain, which is more terrible than the execution of slashing, and few people can bear it.
So, the black man who was designated by Kane as a 'meat machine' went crazy.
It just so happens that the collapsed soul is more suitable for making a meat machine, especially the old branch, Maniac + Cthulhu, which is a good match.
Nia has also seen Kane's indifferent side of human life, and to be honest, she regrets developing a super-friendship relationship with Kane. She can see that this person is not so much good to the people around him, but too possessive, and instinctively uses some means to avoid resistance and alienation from the people around him.
The most important thing is that this person is lawless and strong, thoughtful, decisive, not greedy, and has almost no shortcomings that can be targeted.
Being grasped by such a person and wanting to escape is basically a luxury. But this cold style of acting is really stressful.
Kane didn't pay attention to Nia's little emotions, and after he completed a wave of shaping operations on the meat machine, he left the rest of the business to Coffey, then rested, and quickly fell asleep.
Kofi prepared a force field training cabin built with magic equipment for the meat machine, and asked people to check the vehicle, replenish the fuel, and let the maintenance team process a batch of ammunition to make up for the consumption, arrange a vigilance system, check the condition of the personnel, and then rest. I slept 3 hours later than Kane.
The night after that day was not peaceful, and the people of the Ten Witches made two waves in the early hours of the morning.
Perhaps it was because the previous losses were too heavy, and then Kane's sudden retreat left them puzzled and wanted more information. And so there was the first wave.
It's a pity that positional warfare has always been Kane's forte, and the people of the Ten Witches Guild triggered the perimeter guard, and then suffered a heavy blow.
This time, someone finally escaped with their lives, but they also left behind a dozen corpses.
They finally figured out that the opponent's main combat method this time was to use weapons on the technology side to deal extraordinary damage, and the detection and long-range strike capabilities were very strong.
The second wave was launched around 5 o'clock, about the time of Kane's side, which had been tossed for most of the night, and this time point was in a state of sleepiness.
Of course, this idea is obviously wishful thinking, and while the Fireeaters still have many of the characteristics of humans, they are more suited to look at them with the eyes of machines.
There is no such concept as laxity or laziness in machines, and of course no one goes crazy or explodes. As long as they are on the job, they will follow the instructions almost rigidly, which especially reassures Kane, even if they are broken through and attacked, they are crushed by strength, and they cannot be blamed for not doing their duty.
The second wave of strikes from the Ten Witches came from two directions at the same time, the sky was Wuzhi, and the ground was armored vehicles equipped with 35mm machine guns.
Some transcendents used spells to erase the roar of the engine and the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground. It's a bit of a way to return to the other.
It's a pity that this is useless, Kane's relevant technical system has been tempered thousands of times, and there can be no major loopholes, and it cannot prevent the conventional attack of ordinary thermal weapons.
It can be said that so far, only the small-yield tactical nuclear bombs launched by fighters can cause greater damage to Kane's team.
Anti-materiel weapons and grenades specifically used against vehicle vehicles to teach the intruder how to behave.
The Ten Witches Society also came this time with a death squad, and they fired a few rockets and a few shuttle machine gun shells in the face of heavy casualties.
The most heroic chariot commander was sad and desperate before he died, because he saw the two Fire Eaters emerge from the only destroyed SUV, and the explosion and flames clearly did not cause any serious damage to them, at most the armor needed to be repaired and the clothes needed to be replaced.
This battle is considered to reveal the abilities of the Fire Eaters, from the perspective of the transcendentals, they may not be very powerful, their transcendent attack means are single, and they are easy to target.
But in terms of defense, it is really sharp, which is why the scientific and technological side attack means are chosen, and the various series of thermal weapons can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the lack of means. It is only necessary to use alchemy to carry out a certain degree of magic modification of weapons and ammunition, which is very suitable for the situation that there is no production system of its own, but there is a certain hard demand for combat effectiveness.
The disadvantage is that Kane is tied to complicated trivial matters, has a suspicion of a daddy, and at a glance, he can't get out of this model of supporting a large family by one person in a short period of time.
The second wave of attacks by the Ten Witches occurred around 6 o'clock, and the sound of machine guns and explosions woke up the people of Hope, and the sheriff, who had not been able to sleep well all night, had to bite the bullet to inquire about the situation. He had to give the townspeople an explanation, which was the most basic.
No sooner had the sheriff been sent away, and the FBI's 'red scarves' arrived.
The division of functions in this kingdom is similar to that of the United States of America in the origin world, the CIA is mainly external, and the representative figures are referred to as agents, who can listen to assassinations and even pocket wars.
The FBI is internal, focusing on the detection of major criminal cases. The FBI of the United States of America in the origin world is vaguely on par with Interpol, and there are branches or offices in other countries, but the FBI in this world is not so broad, because there are transcendents above the official, and their respective territories have long been divided, and crossing the border is a very sensitive issue, even if it is mortal combat power.
The NSA is an intelligence-gathering unit with investigative powers, but generally does not have the power to take direct actions such as arrests.
However, the survey itself is a very vague concept. The NSA can't afford to be beaten or ignored if the target of the investigation is too dangerous, if there is a conflict, or if it is about to cause great harm, right?
This is especially true of the MF (Occult Section), which does not have the power to take action, and simply engages in intelligence gathering, either unable to carry out its work, or will die if it is in danger.
A few years later, the NSA also had considerable combat capabilities.
If there is any difference with the FBI, the weapons and equipment owned by the department are relatively inferior, and it should be counted as one.
The FBI has close ties with various weapons research institutes and the like, and to a certain extent, it has a bit of a S.H.I.E.L.D. meaning, and it can always be equipped with some experimental-level goodies.
The advantage of the NSA is that it is subordinate to the Ministry of Defense and is relatively close to the military. It's just that there are very few situations where the military needs to work together, so it is not as practical as the FBI's cooperation model.
The red scarf, the mysterious department of the FBI, is always presented as a cool image of wearing an expensive polymer modular armor and holding a high-powered modified gun or experimental weapon.
One of the most impressive is the red scarf, which is said to be a fusion of technology and transcendence, which can provide an afterimage effect, and is a small magic item that can be used well.
In Kane's eyes, the Red Scarf is a bunch of proud soldiers. There is nothing wrong with this, generally speaking, the troops that can fight, from individuals to groups, are full of arrogance.
However, this can only be fought in the mortal realm, at most, relying on the strength of the team to deal with some salted fish-level transcendent events.
And his iron-blooded swarm aims to play a certain role in the Divine War, which has been reflected in the Crazy Divine War caused by the investigation of the Clan Extermination in 1853 when he was in the Dark HP World.
The two are not on the same level, Kane did not have the intention of comparison, nor did he feel offended by the arrogance of the red scarf, he asked the other party's intention, and he cooperated to give up the right to deal with the incident, saying that he would make a detour to the destination after dawn.
The captain of the Red Scarf, Edgar Snow, was a bit of a stretch, saying that it would be better for Kane and his party to leave New Mexico and do something else and wait until the incident was over to come back to do something other so as not to complicate the situation.
Kane pondered for a moment, smiled and said hello, and then ordered Coffey to shrink his guard and prepare to leave.
Waiting for Kane to leave, the vice-captain of the red scarf couldn't help but open his mouth: "This is the only transcendent person who has retreated from Sino Island? ”
Edgar touched the deliberately bearded goatee on his chin and commented, "The annihilation of thousands of Deep Diver servants may have water, but it should be true that they are extremely survivable. ”
The vice-captain said sarcastically: "I can see it, it's very slippery." ”
"It's not that simple, look at the battlefield over there, several Wuzhi, more than a dozen armored vehicles, all destroyed, but the convoy only lost one SUV, and there were no major casualties, a beautiful defensive counterattack. It is rumored that this person has a very different but very clever technical system, and I didn't believe it before, but now I think it's mostly true. ”
"Then why don't you pull him in? ”
Edgar pursed his lips and smiled: "You know that the Ten Witches will be difficult to deal with, but you don't know how to deal with it." I know their style. Dealing with the Ten Witch Society is like fighting with a jackal, and it is most taboo to show your back to the other party, especially if you have offended the Ten Witch Society before, as long as you dare to show your intention to retreat, the Ten Witch Society will inevitably launch the most ferocious offensive. ”
The vice captain's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I understand, let them attract the hatred of the Ten Witch Society, and we will take the opportunity to exert our strength." ”
"Well, you also know the combat power structure of the Ten Witch Society, the Great Witch is the core, and the others are miscellaneous fish, as long as more than two Great Witches are transferred and Duriac City fights, we have a better chance of winning. ”......./11_11766/
