"I'm sorry I didn't notice...... There will still be a sniper's phantom manifestation behind us, and then sneak up on you... This situation is also too dangerous."

Tress wasn't stupid after all, he quickly figured out what was going on with the screams and crisp collisions before, and even apologized to Ian repeatedly, "This is because my team didn't protect it well, didn't confirm the surrounding situation, and didn't rescue in time!"

"Don't worry too much."

Ian was in a good mood at this time, and the growth of the frost butterflies made him feel that the gloomy woods and fields of the Avak region were much more pleasing to the eye.

In the final analysis, Tress's mistakes will be made by anyone, and the opponent's tactics are indeed very unprepared, so there is no need to dwell on this" This has to be written into the report One by one, some phantoms are quite intelligent, and will use sneak attack tactics, as well as sniper phantoms, which should be regarded as a credit. "Indeed."

Tress sighed, this time it was considered a superiority, only looking at the knights who had attacked the viscount head-on, but did not protect the key people.

If it weren't for the protection of the elves, Ian would have died this time. He doesn't make excuses for himself, Ian doesn't blame him, he can't forgive himself.

After sending this information to the Knights' camp using the vehicle's communicator, the convoy temporarily stopped in place to repair and inspect the armament.

Ian's potent potion was verified by Tress and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, but Ian himself did not have time to listen to the voices of the secret praise, but instead began to study the sniper phantom captured by Miss Birch.

Although the silver chip Ian analyzed all kinds of information as soon as he came into contact with this virtual projection, he still had to install it.

The sniper phantom that appeared at the back of the convoy and manifested out of thin air was also a phantom with wisdom like Viscount Avak and the members of the Knights.

He had always wanted to kill himself, but Birch was too knowledgeable about psionic powers, and Miss Fairy deftly restrained a self-destructing structure in the phantom's body, then imprisoned him in a psionic barrier and sent into the carriage to be scanned by the instruments.

And, of course, silver chip scanning.

It turns out that this is indeed a fairly mature projection technology.

It is likely that Grand Duke Thorin used the knowledge in the Abyss Sacrifice to immerse some of his subordinates in the Void, and then used the power of the Void as a medium to project in the Avak Territory, which had gradually begun to unfold the Silent Abyss, and turned into an unbeatable phantom army.

This kind of technology can be regarded as a method of warfare with considerable potential for today's empire, or rather, for today's Terra, as long as the "Abyss of Silence" can be carried out, which can overlap the realm of the void with reality, then the side presided over by the ritual will have an army and armed force that cannot be killed or destroyed.

At most, after the projection is killed and destroyed, the original owner may need some potions and rest to recover, but it is better than actually dying.

Even if the phantom body can't exert its full strength, after all, ants bite dead elephants, who wants to risk their lives to fight with a group of phantoms who are not distressed when they die?" This technique is even more difficult and obscure than the rituals recorded in the Abyss Sacrifice text..."

Mo Feng's expression became serious at this moment, this wind fairy didn't even know where to take out a pair of glasses, made a very serious gesture to observe the spiritual structure in the sniper's phantom body, and finally came to the conclusion that "the psionic skills on the side of Grand Duke Thorin can even be compared to goblins in some aspects."

"In particular, the technology of the Phantom Army in this area is similar to the Ideal Township Ritual in the heyday of our goblins - at that time, we goblins can project the Ideal Township located in the virtual realm into the major goblin townships in reality, superimposing a layer of all-round phase shield, and the goblins in the Ideal Township will not die...... But it is only limited to the ideal township. ”

"But the Phantom Army has broken through this, if it weren't for the Silence Abyss Ritual that would destabilize a part of the Void Realm, this would simply be an undefeated army!" [It seems that Grand Duke Thorin has really gained a lot from the psionic information left by his grandfather] And the bird of light also appeared in front of Ian at this moment, and Mikael's voice was thoughtful: [The army of immortal phantoms, I didn't expect it to be achieved in this way, it's a pity...... If my grandfather hadn't died, if my uncle hadn't done that stupid thing...... Our Sethal Empire may have a key that can break the balance.]

Alas, each of the legacies of the year is a masterpiece of a lot of wisdom and imagination, but why should grandfather be in such a hurry...]

Mikael's voice and even her image seemed to be heard and seen only by Ian, but Ian did not echo a few words. Instead, he frowned. "That's not right."

At this moment, Ian slowly raised his head and looked around at everyone present, "If all this is the plan of Grand Duke Thorin, then why are there so many out-of-control beasts and phantoms?"

"This sniper can manifest behind us with his own will, the spiritual structure in his body is very complete, and there is a special manifestation array, so that he can walk freely in the virtual realm, choose the time of self-manifestation———— he is not very harmful, but if it is a second-level level, it will burn and explode the wind giant" "Then we will probably be blown up half to death with two armored transport vehicles." ”

Ian was sure, "Even if this is Grand Duke Thorin's technique, this time he must have had an accident, and the most important test subjects in the entire laboratory have all escaped out of control, and even his own subordinates have been forced to get involved."

has become the main body of the phantom army, and has lost the assistance brought by the improvement of technology. ”

"It's just that such a group of people led by Viscount Avak have their own wisdom, so they can still fight with their own will and hinder our progress." "The labs in the Avak region are absolutely out of control." In this way, Ian is very confident: "The only problem is that there is still how much power can stop us in the runaway laboratory" Although he is very confident, only some of these speculations are true speculations, and the rest are said by Ian according to the identification results of the silver chip. [Runaway Phantom (Illusion Projection, Sniper)] [Incompetent, Phase, Innate Intelligent Creatures, Major Intelligent Creatures in the Star Field, Psionic Transformation]

[The product of a non-accidental out-of-control experiment, a human being is forcibly endowed with a soul, and then transformed into a virtual projection, which is an opportunity to transcend the mundane, and it is also a fall that goes straight into the abyss] [Body Material...... Sublimation Change ...... Phase Transformation Sublimation] [Strength Level Normal]

[Contains essentia 91.2055 benchmark spiritual unit]

This identification result is very delicate, even Ian can't say it all, just picks a few guesses that sound quite understandable. As for non-accidental runaway experiments......

"Did the inner ghost do it, deliberately creating an out-of-control experiment...... Moreover, forcibly giving human souls can still do such a thing, but it definitely has extremely high negative effects. Ian lowered his eyes, he already had a guess in his mind. But on the surface, he still waits for the opinions of others. "Indeed."

Birch nodded, and what Ian said was exactly what she thought: "I also think that this phantom soldier still has a lot of technical problems to solve, for example, only the existence of a soul can be a phantom, and even if most people become phantoms, they will not have self-awareness, but become mindless souls who act according to instinct. ”

Mo Feng agreed, "According to the previous information, the Phantoms in the Avak region will attack all targets indiscriminately, which is exactly an example of this - and this time, most of the members of the Knights do not have any obvious intelligence, although they are still agile, but they are definitely not formed. ”

[This time, there was a sudden change in the Avak region, and it was indeed not the Grand Duke of Thorin who took the initiative to expose it, but because of an accident]

Even the second prince agreed with Ian's judgment: [If it is caused by the loss of control within the laboratory, then everything

Makes sense...... I see, I said why are all parties preventing me from going, I'm afraid that the group of old guys would rather take Archduke Thorin with his grandfather's inheritance than let me collect another piece of the puzzle] [A group of weak old things, I don't want to think about the reason why the current empire can stand on the continent of Terra is because of whose legacy] - it seems that I can't participate in the internal struggle of the imperial capital.

Ian thought so, no wonder Mikael couldn't reveal his identity, it turned out that there were people in the imperial capital who were unwilling to let the second prince collect all the Inaga inheritance.

- Inaga II is right, but we don't need a second Inaga. This is probably the thinking of the vast majority of the nobles of the imperial capital.

The boy was noncommittal, he just coughed, and then said, "What's our next mission?" The elves didn't reply, because they knew who Ian was asking.

Continuing deeper, we went to the Azure City, one of the three major cities in the Avak region, which is right next to the central hilly area and has become a dead land] Mikael gave instructions: [However, there is information that there are living people and not phantom local sublimators appearing there]

[Find them, they are the key to entering the core area]

Now that the boss has given orders, Ian and Tress don't need to think, they just need to execute. Leaving behind ammunition shells and battle marks, the squad continued to advance deeper into the Avak region. If you look down from above, you can vaguely see that the entire Avak region is filled with artillery fire and the light of battle, and the low roar is incessant, resounding everywhere.

Not only the Empire, but also many teams of mysterious origins are heading towards the center of this place. And their target, naturally, is also the laboratory of Grand Duke Thorin.

The night is still long.

It's just been opened.
