After being released from its cage, the night heron ran as fast as it could.

All the members of the elite unit of the Barossa Group also cooperated with this "secret" escape operation, and it was not until nearly a quarter of an hour after the three of them left Antigan that they discovered what was happening in the square and sent their pursuers with great efficiency.

Even with the help of the "transport team", it took the three of them a whole night when they arrived at the "pit".

The huge body of the "transport team" carved a bloody path for them on the battlefield, and also allowed Lu Xiang and Song Lan to observe the purgatory-like scene of the towns along the way at close range.

Unknown flesh and blood have devoured houses, a large number of mutants have taken over the city, and those who "survived" the disaster have become distorted forms that are difficult to describe in words.

Mutants have lost their minds completely, and will attack any living creatures they come across.

Under the shroud of blood, the two of them finally arrived at the realm of this Eclipse Sect under the leadership of the Night Heron, and looked at the hole in front of them that was completely covered in wriggling flesh, and the two couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

No sane person would want to put himself in such a place.

But upon arriving at the Mine, Nightheron tells them an important piece of news - she can sense that the Archbishop is somewhere in the Mine at the moment.

On the other side, the Barossa Group airship, located over the Third Neutral Country, was also closely following the movements of the trio.

Intelligence agents observed several giant insect mutants resembling large war machines, powerful enough to easily smash walls, and ordinary mutants were only crushed in front of them.

But just when they thought that the swarm had finally shown their cards for the upcoming decisive battle, the picture at the "Mine" surprised everyone.

The giant weapons of war of the biters have been repatriated.

They burrowed into the dirt and quickly disappeared into the battlefield without a trace, and there no swarm units appeared around them that were suitable for fighting in small environments.

Just like before, they took the form of a two-person operation again.

"So far, the situation is developing in the direction we expected."

The commander of the Third Legion reported the information that the Gray Knight Legion had found from the front line, and to be more precise, Lu Xiang and Song Lan's actions went smoothly beyond their imagination.

They had been hesitant to use the firepower of the swarm to support them in the event of an attack on the swarm, but from what they had observed, it seemed that they did not need reinforcements at all.

And when they came back to their senses, they realized what was really strange about the whole incident.

Even the two most experienced Legion Commanders were selected among them, and they did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to escape from the "pit".

"It's the right tactic."

A mechanically synthesized male voice came from under the metallic black exoskeleton armor of the First Legion, and he faced the holographic map of the Strategic Command Center and said, "The swarm is also a creation derived from the Devourer, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be affected by that consciousness in the battle situation, and this is true for you and me, as well as the entire Legion. ”

The previous night's fighting had served as a warning to them.

For those with weak willpower, the influence of an unidentified consciousness will cause them to instantly become irrational mutants.

"There are genes in our bodies...... You've done enough, so let me end this war. ”

"But ......"

"The Barossa Group must not be wiped out."

The commander of the First Legion stopped everyone who wanted to raise objections with his eyes, and just now, he suddenly understood a reason.

If even he loses in the next war, it means that with their current strength is not enough to compete with the "gods", no matter how many troops they dispatch, they will only increase the number of dead in battle.

As much as they wanted to end the war in this Sacrifice of the End, as the commander of the Legion, he had to think further, and that included the possibility of defeat, because their enemies this time were not the Devourers scattered all over the world who had not yet fully evolved, but the source of everything, the terrible being who was regarded as the omniscient and all-powerful "Father God" in the teachings of the Eclipse Cult.

"At that point, you will need to reassemble the forces of the First Legion and, if necessary, enlist all potential allies, even the coalition government."

Until then, they had been on the lookout for each other.

Because with their or any neutral nation's knowledge of the coalition government, once they have mastered the genetic modification technology, they will immediately apply it to the military, and no one will be able to prevent them from becoming the masters of this world.

But compared to the demise of the entire human race, they can only hand over this "key" to the hands of the coalition government.

………………………………

On the other side, after walking with Lu Xiang and Song Lan for so long, Yelu finally asked a sharp question, "Why do you always fight alone?" ”

By the time she asked the question, the three of them had already entered the "pit", where they were standing on a high platform, looking down at what looked like a terribly dangerous mutant construct below.

A pool of blood that glows like magma illuminates the scene below.

This scene brought many horrified memories to the minds of the night herons, who had been here before, and had seen the purgatory-like scene beneath the "pit" with their own eyes.

They dare only stay in the upper area, spending their days and nights in fear and insecurity.

But even so, the monsters below were still unwilling to let them go, and the night heron vaguely remembered that several of her friends were dragged down by the mutated constructs that emerged from the "pit", and finally drowned in the pool of blood below.

In order to survive, they have to learn to fight the monsters beneath the "mines".

The familiar scene awakened a fear that lurked deep within the Nightheron, and even when she clearly sensed that the archbishop was below, she was reluctant to leap into the twisted mutated constructs.

After some observation, she finally made a strange discovery.

Lu Xiang is the leader of the swarm.

The Archbishop has mentioned that the "Father" had foretold them of the threat of the Swarm, saying that they were a very good race that won by numbers.

However, except for transportation, Lu Xiang did not send any troops to participate in this war.

"Because, this is the strategy adopted by the swarm."

Facing the night heron's question, Lu Xiang coughed lightly and said, "As for what strategy...... Song Lan, you can explain to her the specific content of the strategy. ”
