Chapter 26: The Road to Salvation
The abandoned world, the forgotten world, but still difficult to stop the person who yearns for the light of hope, even if there are still difficulties and thorns ahead, he can still walk out of a road of redemption.
Now Nuo is walking on such a road.
The place where they could finally escape was an abandoned port on Prison Island, which was the only port between the Papal States and Prison Island before it was used to hold prisoners and people of status many years ago, but because Prison Island was of little value to the Papal States at that time, the port was opened just in case, and maybe the Island will be developed in the future, so the port was not very large, and it is very old for many years now.
However, old is old, and the port was originally built on Hell Island to transport necessities such as people and supplies, but it has been strengthened and repaired as a result, and it is still in use today.
Of course, it is useless to have a port alone, and it just so happened that the Holy See had recently passed a resolution to rebuild this old port, so the oil tanker had already sailed to prepare for construction, and the load of the oil tanker was fully enough to support the weight of a mobile armor, as long as they could get there early and force the people on board to send them away, they could escape from this evil prison island.
This matter is not so difficult, as long as there is no obstacle on the road, after all, Nuo's current state is very uncomfortable, he has no means to replenish his liquid gold reserves, not to mention, after being pumped blood again and again and converted into fuel, Nuo obviously feels that his mental state is constantly expanding, shrinking, expanding, shrinking, just like blowing a balloon and filling it with air, but opening a small hole, so that the balloon leaks at the same time, and it is drumming and shrinking, Nou can clearly judge that he has no extra combat ability now, and he has to protect the now sleepy and powerless Ti to leave safely.
The route of the abandoned port Nuo knew, as early as a long time ago, when Ty began to collect information, he gave Nuo the origin, route, and function of the abandoned port, and very wisely predicted that this would be the key to their final escape, and also marked the key marks on the small note given to Nuo, and Nuo of course wrote it down word for word, and now the brief road map in his memory gradually rolls through his mind.
However, the good times were short-lived, and just as Noh reached the fork, a small detachment of armored samurai appeared.
There are four routes at this fork, two of which lead to the old and new ports, and the armoured knight barracks stationed by the Papal States are also located next to the new port, which is convenient for missions to go on duty and respond to various emergencies.
This team of armored warriors is obviously because the hundreds of armored warriors in front of them have not returned for a long time, and they can't help it in the military camp, so the scout group sent to listen to the information, more than a dozen people in the team, all with short swords on their backs, are agile, and they can grasp both intelligence and running away, and they can also sneak attack with one hand on their backs from time to time, which can be called the armored warriors with the strongest sense of existence.
Nou was forced to stop, his sharp eyes piercing at them, and he also took the opportunity to regain his strength.
Several leaders looked at each other a few times, and a person stood up: "Stop!" Who are you, and why do you wear the second-generation armor of the Spiritual Place? Are the 'fitters' of the spiritual place so arrogant now? To dare to manipulate armor in areas other than the Lodge without the approval of the Papal States is not what our treaty of cooperation says! Or what are the intentions of your spirits? If so......"
The man stood up and took over the righteousness, crackling and talking to Nuo, not giving Nuo room to speak.
Of course, there is nothing to say about No, although the people who are regarded by these armored warriors as subordinate to the spirit place will have some trouble for the spirit place, it is undoubtedly a benefit to No, so that it can also reduce the risk.
However, it is impossible to fool the past with this, these unqualified soldiers do not know the deal between the Papal States and the Spiritual Institute, and the high-ranking personnel must know that they can figure it out with a casual guess.
But this is not without bad things, with the atmosphere of competing for power and profit between the top leaders and many parties, if their departure and identity misunderstanding can make a certain party obtain greater benefits, silver can also be said to be gold, and their identity may really be buried for a while, for more time to rest, if this escape operation is really successful, it will definitely be indispensable for a long time to repair.
Let the armored warrior who stood up keep talking, Nou didn't want to speak, but threw the object he had been carrying in his right hand.
The thing was wrapped in several circles of worn-out white cloth, round to the touch, but there was a place where a flatter piece was protruded.
The white cloth was wrapped in several layers, but through the faint light, you could still see a faint bright red through the white cloth.
Nono smashed straight at the armored warrior, the man's head armor was smashed with a "bang", and the thing wrapped like a ball hit the metal and rebounded backwards, rolling to the ground, but the man stood on a small dirt slope, the edge was blocked by several layers of dirt, the ball rolled to the edge and rolled back, rolling in front of the man's feet, the rag that had been wrapped in several layers fell two layers in the process of rolling, and the bright red became more and more obvious.
The leading armored warrior was lightly smashed by No, hitting him in the head, and he wanted to be angry, but when he saw the thing rolling in front of him, he glanced at Noku hatefully, and with a curious look on his face, he picked up the half-round ball on the ground that did not look like a round ball.
Several armored warriors standing in the rear were also infected by this curiosity, and rushed forward, several heads sticking out from behind.
The leading armored warrior looked at the ball that felt constantly dyed red, but his heart suddenly felt a bad premonition.
He shuddered and shuffled the rag away from the orb, and just as he had just gotten around the two layers, the blood-red color inside suddenly spread out and stained his mech.
The man shook with fright, and the ball in his hand was shaken off to the ground, and the last layer of red cloth untied itself in the air where it fell, revealing swarthy hair.
That's a head!!
The leader and the armored warriors who came forward to see the excitement instantly knew in their hearts what this thing was, they had all been through a hundred battles, and they saw dozens of heads that had been cut off, if not hundreds.
His head fell to the dirt and rolled over, revealing his face in front of the armor warriors.
It was a tanned man, with a wrinkled forehead, eyes almost bulging out of his sockets, his mouth wide open, two rows of dark yellow teeth clenched together like enemies, almost biting each other, the muscles of his face were unscientifically displaced, showing a strange and hideous face, and people could see the deep fear he expressed.
Except for No, who stood there with a calm expression, everyone was frightened by this face, especially the armored samurai standing at the front, who were even frightened to take a few steps back when their eyes met the officer's abrupt eyes.
However, the psychological quality of the armored samurai was still very strong, and it didn't take long for him to recover.
The man in the lead said without confidence: "Who are you?" Did you kill our chief?! ”
Nuo didn't answer him directly to this question, and his head, which was originally looking straight ahead, turned his head and glanced at him: "Do you still want to obstruct me?" ”
The leading armored warriors retreated, looking around at each other, unable to say a word, the fear had already shocked their hearts, and they were not able to intercept the suitor of the second-generation armor in their eyes, even if they all guessed that this "suitor" may have wasted a lot of effort to kill their officer, but in the face of the threat to their lives, no one dared to bet with their lives.
Nou was already a little impatient, he had to speed up, it was almost the eve of the rising sun, and if he wanted to see the dawn sun, he had to get on the boat and leave here immediately.
No, no longer playing boring games with these cowering armored warriors, he took another step, the heavy steps of the mobile armor struck the hearts of the armored warriors who were watching, but they just didn't dare to move, for fear that the behemoth in front of them would crush them in anger and anger.
It wasn't until No's figure was submerged in the darkness that they could move their muscles and bones.
"What should we do, are we going back to report?"
One asked in a suppressed voice.
"Of course, such a big matter must be reported back to the captain, and the Pope's Hall may be turned upside down this time."
The other replied, his voice also in his throat.
"That's not what we're supposed to discuss, let's bring back the chief's head first, you ...... Who's going to take it? ”
The man in the lead leaned over and asked.
All eyes were on him.
The man looked embarrassed, but still helpless, and slowly picked up the rags scattered on the ground, carefully wrapped the officer's head again, and then left.
And No, who was moving forward first, had already seen the cargo ship still spewing steam.
That's what he and Ti have been expecting for more than a decade, to get out of anyone's control and be a bird that soars freely and spreads its wings with impunity.
Now, it's about to happen!
