Tick, tick –

The sound of water droplets falling and splashing was so crisp that it echoed in the bomb shelters underground.

Lucitt lowered his head and followed the broken procession, feeling a trace of doubt and confusion in his heart.

"How did we get here?"

Obviously, two hours ago, they were armed to the teeth, and walked out of the school gate with the magic guide book and forbidden calligraphy, and they swept away the elite soldiers in high spirits.

However, after just ten minutes, they fled.

Like the waves of the sea, they are endless, they flow continuously, they fall from the sky, they crawl out of the crevices, from the pipes and from the ground, and they are everywhere on the earth, cruising in the lakes and ditches.

They're all over the place.

The first to fall were the Tanas students - although the pickets stressed several times that they would ensure the safety of all, the safest core area would never be the turn of the Tanas students in the station.

Since most of the Tanas students are studying in the Department of Applied Magic, when there is a shortage of manpower, they are recruited to fill the gaps in battle, and then the colonization soldiers come in like a tidal wave to tear apart the students who help with the loading.

Literally shredded.

In front of all of them, flesh and fat were squeezed out at a visible rate, intestines shattered, hearts and lungs dug out, and the tentacles of the colonized soldiers pierced into their nostrils and penetrated deep into their brains to read memories and information.

They fled with frustration, unleashing all sorts of magic bombardments to clear the field, their confident firepower ready to shatter at the touch of a fragile cardboard in front of a steady stream of monsters.

Confident, calm, overwhelmed, embarrassed, exhausted, defeated.

Until now, they have moved into underground air defense facilities and fled like lost dogs.

Lusit looked at the team.

Before departure, they had a mighty 54 people.

Now, including the pickets, there are only 7 people left.

The picket senior, who had previously had a good relationship with Hobbs, had his head cut off by the colonizers, and Lucit didn't even know his name.

The only remaining ones include the three pickets: captain Modot, adjutant Syrya, and second-year Delta student Kut.

He and Hobbes followed, along with two eminent alien lords: Solis James II of the ancestral court, and Maria Xuanyin, daughter of the President of the Republic of Ville.

These two men were of a very noble position, both heirs to the lord of a country, and in order to save them, the pickets paid for the lives of seven people, in exchange for them unscathed and still maintaining their demeanor.

Why, is this so?

Lucitt recalls the battle along the way, carefully avoiding the various routes, but for some reason, the colonized soldiers would just show up just right, appear when they were resting, and stop them not long after they were out of the raid.

Attack in waves, causing their mana to be quickly drained and the magic scroll to be squandered quickly.

"Old Road ......"

Hobbes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the ring on his finger seemed to fade again, he raised his hand on Lucit's shoulder, pretended to have broken his foot, and in fact whispered in his ear:

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"Yes, there are some ......"

Lucit's jaw.

"Those colonized soldiers appeared by such a coincidence that it was as if they had completely understood our path of progress."

Hobbes closed one eye, and he spoke in a small voice, but he was still heard by the people next to him.

"You really think so!"

Jaime II, the prince of the ancestral court, suddenly said in a loud voice:

"There are attacks everywhere along the way, so obvious offensive intentions are clearly leaking our intelligence!"

'Tsk! This guy is brainless! ’

Hobbes cursed.

Wouldn't it be nice to know this kind of thing? Why do you have to say it?

Smack.

The marching procession came to a sudden halt.

It is clear that James II's Don Surprise immediately attracted attention.

"What do you mean, James?" Silya frowned: "There are so many soldiers in the colony that there are like a tide, and the ghost knows how many troops the waning moon has deployed, and it has become like this, and it is not something we can control." ”

"Really? How do I think this line was wrong from the start? ”

James II sneered:

"Fifty kilometers away, if you go all the way on the subway, you will only face the front and rear of the enemy, but you have to go on the ground, isn't this deliberately exposing your whereabouts?"

"What are you talking about?"

Another picketer, Coote, was not angry:

"If you don't go to the ground, can you gnaw on the railroad and drink engine oil to satisfy your hunger? We started with fifty or sixty people, and you really think that little bit of food was enough for so many of us to hold on? You also have to face the attrition of the battle, if there are wounded people who need medicine, how do you look at the right choice to walk on the ground, right? ”

"People won't die if they starve for two days, and if you go underground early, you won't have such a serious loss."

"Speaking lightly, do you know how much it takes to fight? You, the second ancestor of the hereditary bureaucrat, five things that don't touch the spring water, and you can't be sent to fight, you can naturally be forced to talk in the back! ”

"Stop arguing!" Silya only felt a headache: "We have all reached this point, and we still have to fight among ourselves?" ”

Coote felt very aggrieved, and immediately pointed to James II and said:

"It is this second generation of officials who has to provoke disputes and question our plans with one-sided words."

"Oh, first of all, your plan is not foolproof, and it is because of your plan that we have suffered heavy losses in personnel. In particular, effective combat effectiveness was lost. ”

As soon as these words came out, Coote immediately couldn't hold back his emotions, he stepped forward and picked up his iron fist to smash the other party:

"Fuck you, do you know how many people have died for you?"

"Coot!" Sir Ya hurriedly stopped the person: "He's a foreigner, you can't do this!" ”

"I agree with His Highness James II." Maria, who was watching from the side, hesitated for a moment and chose to side with James II.

"Oh, the ancestral gods are above, I didn't ask them, this is your responsibility as the host."

James II calmly sarcastically said:

"Secondly, it's not my family."

As he spoke, his gaze naturally fell on Lusit and Hobbes.

“…… You two. Syla narrowed her eyes.

They can't do anything about foreign VIPs, but a pariah of the armored race, and a Tanas student with no background dare to say this, it is a bit embarrassing.

Silja glanced at the silent Captain Modot.

It seems that the captain is not happy, too, he is overcoming obstacles along the way, and he is the first to step forward when he encounters the enemy, and he has paid so many costs, but he has been questioned instead.

It's hard for anyone.

These white-eyed wolves......

Sylya's gaze suddenly sharpened as she looked at the two of them.

"I didn't say anything." Hobbes surrendered immediately.

However, Syla had no intention of letting him go. She stepped forward and looked at Hobbes:

"Hey, your name is Hobbs, aren't you?"

Hobbes grinned:

"Haha, I don't know who Hobbes is—"

Bang!

Syla grabbed him by the collar and grabbed him up.

"Hobbes! Hey, what are you doing-"

"Shut up!" Syla didn't even look at Lucit, her eyes biting Hobbes like a poisonous snake: "You seem to have an opinion on Captain Modotte's resolution?" ”

"Ahem-I, I didn't say that......"

Hobbes's face turned purple, and the other party shocked him with magic power, causing his muscles to spasm instantly, his teeth chattered, and he said indistinctly.

"The team's instructions are all given by Captain Modote, if you question the team, you are questioning Senior Modote, if you can't get along with Modot, you are looking for trouble with me Sylva! Do you understand?! ”

"I ...... I made it very clear that it was the suspected leakage of intelligence that led to such a coincidental attack......"

"Really?" Silya said coldly, "You mean, one of us has betrayed the information? ”

"This is it—" Hobbes could finish his words, and a shadow instantly fell on his face.

Bang!

In an instant, Hobbes's figure slammed against the wall, his face bursting with a burning and stinging pain, and snot, tears, and blood flowed profusely.

"Hobbs!"

Lusit was furious, and he immediately glared at Syr:

"Hey, what are you doing like that? A member of the dignified picket team hit the student? ”

"This is not a picket." Silya said indifferently: "It was fought in the name of my Silya, no matter who it is, you can't slander the reputation of Senior Modote." ”

"Y-how can you be so unreasonable?"

"Hey, the one on the ground!" Silya completely ignored Lucit: "Get up, either apologize to Senior Modote, or I will call you to apologize." ”

"Don't you think it's too much?"

Lucitt said in a deep voice:

"Did the weapons and equipment given to you by the school, as well as your law enforcement powers, allow you to bully the students?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt-action magic rifle stopped in his chest.

"Have you forgotten, school, you can't control us now."

Silya glanced at Lucit, and put her finger lightly on the trigger:

"Time has changed, whoever has the big fist is justified. How? Are you not convinced? ”

Lusit's body stiffened, and suddenly, he noticed that Hobbes was lip-syncing to him:

'Lucy Ty, Forbidden Book ......'

Lucitt bowed his head, took two steps back, and away from Syrya, he quietly retreated into the shadows, reached into his backpack with his backhand, and after a little fumbling, found the forbidden book.

Notes on the Curse of Sureda

The books of the magical civilization are not only information carriers, but also weapons and equipment, and mages who are proficient in spells can completely draw the power of words, arrange and combine them, and cast magic. The power depends entirely on the quality of the spell book, as well as the grade of the spell recorded.

Although the requirements are high, it is difficult for Lucit, who is a top student.

Hobbes curled up, groaning in pain, and Syla slowly walked up to him, lifted his kick, and kicked him over.

Bang!

"Get up and get down on your knees for Senior Modot." Syla said, raising the muzzle of her gun, "Otherwise—"

When the long is the long.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, shaking off the dust, and the walls faintly cracked and began to seep water.

Peng Pa!

The pipes cracked, gushing water, and in a moment, in all directions

"What's going on? Earthquake! ”

"Let's go! This place is going to collapse! ”

The sudden shock instantly attracted everyone's attention, and there was no time to teach Hobbes any more lessons, so Syla and the others hurriedly ran quickly along the corridor of the bomb shelter.

"Lao Huo! Walk! Lucit grabbed his brother and threw him behind his back, striding forward frantically.

Boom Boom Boom......

The earth shook violently, even the air-raid shelter was extremely fragile in the face of this natural power, the fortifications quickly disintegrated and collapsed, and the groundwater poured in, waist-deep in a short time, and they had to carefully avoid opening the dimensional barriers, not daring to go too fast, running back and forth left and right along the way, and from time to time they would be blocked by the collapsed ruins of the wall.

After escaping for more than ten minutes, Syla kicked open the hydraulic gate, and a group of mermaids rushed out, the moonlight sprinkled on their wet bodies, and they finally rushed out of the ground, not buried alive inside.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Silja knelt on one knee and scolded and removed the heavy armor soaked in water, revealing beautiful curves, but it was a pity that the person who had just escaped was not in the mood to appreciate it.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, more than a dozen tons of heavy concrete had just collapsed, thanks to the armor to protect most of the damage, she didn't have an accident, but there were some contusions and bruises in her lungs.

"Damn it...... How so? ”

The earthquake came right now, and it was very intense, at least 8.7 magnitude.

She glanced left and right—Coote was gone.

What a coincidence.

It's as if the earthquake came to rescue Hobbes's kid.

She turned, steadied, and walked to Hobbes, who was struggling on the ground like a dead dog.

"What? What are you going to do!? ”

Lucitt stepped forward, stopped in front of her, and said unceremoniously.

Silya pushed him and said coldly:

"This earthquake is too coincidental, it was all done to save him, I suspect that you have hidden the forbidden magic book, let me check it."

Lucit was dumbfounded:

"That's a! You said yes, why don't you say that the Night Butterfly is actually the same ancestor as the Tanas? ”

"Shut up! Get out of the way! ”

"Don't touch my brother."

"you!"

Silya instantly picked up the butt of her gun and smashed it Lucit.

Clang!

Lucitt stood still, catching it with his chest. Instead, it was Sylya, whose hard armor shook her mouth and made her palms numb.

"You—" Silya looked up angrily, only to see Lucit standing still in place, his face gloomy.

"I said it."

Lusit's body gradually bulged, the spines on his back quickly and exaggeratedly lengthened, becoming extremely sharp, his height rapidly increased, the armor on his exterior became heavier and thicker, and a layer of bone plates grew from the sides of his cheeks, completely covering his face, like a skeletal mask, eerie.

Syrya, who had taken off her magic power armor and was holding a rifle, was exactly like a stunted toddler in front of Lucit, holding a toothpick and trying to challenge a wall.

"Don't touch my brother."

Lucit's low roar implied infrasound, and the powerful energy caused the heart to resonate, making people feel uncomfortable.

Syla narrowed her eyes, and the rapid growth and tearing of her flesh was picked up by the wind and slapped on her face, she raised her hand, gently brushed away the filth, and said in disgust:

"You disgusting scavenger......"

Katsa.

She lowered the muzzle of her gun, pulled the bolt by gravity, and then turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at Lusit:

"I almost forgot, you guy also questioned Modott with him, and in that case, I'll have to teach you two a lesson-"

Her face was hideously twisted, and she pulled the trigger immediately.

Bang!

Silya's skull lit up with defensive runes, and then was instantly hit by a blood compression projectile, and her body was flipped to the ground by the heavy kinetic energy, and she fell headlong in front of Lucit's toes.

"Uh...... Uh-a-ah......"

Sylya's body twitched and spasmed, and she turned her head in disbelief and looked at the person who fired the shot:

"Why...... This can't—"

Goo-goo-goo!

The flesh squirmed rapidly, and a large amount of blood rain sprayed down, sweeping Syla into a sieve on the spot, and her corpse stopped trembling, and gradually degraded and dissolved under the erosion of the blood, leaving only a pathetic skeleton.

Submit............

The cold wind swept across the ground, pushing the skull at Jaime II's feet. His throat swelled, and the panic in his eyes flashed, and then he smiled awkwardly, and looked calmly ahead:

"Ahaha, haha...... I knew that you guys had been hiding it all along. ”

"First of all, I stayed in the school all the time, collecting magic books everywhere, in fact, to fill my own pocket."

"Then deliberately walked the ground, using the colonization armor to consume most of the manpower, plus you have been revealing information, guiding the colonization to attack at a critical moment, just the right blow to our living force, let us consume the magic scroll."

"Then he connived at Syla and Kut to quarrel with us, but unfortunately the earthquake just now ruined your plans, otherwise, we would have died directly underground."

"Now, Sylya, armed with heavy weapons, has also been killed by you, and Coote has died underground. You can do whatever it takes to us. ”

】

"Am I right?"

He pretended to be calm and looked at the man whose arm had turned into a firearm:

"Captain Modot."

"I heard that three years ago, Wanyue invaded the White Candle Interstellar University with the help of Nei Ying, and coincidentally, so many people were killed at that time, and all the pickets were dead - only you were safe and sound."

"You're the waning moon, aren't you?"

"Isn't it true that you're doing it to simply eliminate eyewitnesses—Maria and I have a more important use for you?"

Modot Husserl looked up at him with interest, as if expecting him to continue.

Lucitt took a few steps back, shielding Hobbes's figure and indifferently glancing at Modot in front of him. His afterglow swept around him, and he noticed that the woman, Maria Xuanyin, had an unusually calm face, as if she had expected something.

"Maria and I are among the most prestigious foreign students at this school. Even the waning moon does not dare to offend the national strength behind us. ”

James II smiled and said:

"It's just that we didn't expect that even you were a top soldier...... But this is also normal, the [Dominator] arcane is always good at lurking around others. Let me guess - your purpose is to take me and Maria hostage, to demand ransom, or to achieve political goals, right? ”

He glanced meaningfully at Lusit and Hobbes:

"In that case, it's time for you to do something to these two assers."

"I know your thoughts very well, no problem, I absolutely cooperate, I have discussed with Maria, no matter what you and your master want, we are willing to cooperate with you to meet your requirements, as long as you treat us kindly, the country behind us will definitely not treat you badly."

"Am I right? Captain Modote? Or, the elite men of the waning moon? ”

Bang bang bang.

Modot clapped his palms, as if in agreement.

"Looks like I'm right."

"Not exactly, Your Highness."

Modot smiled and said:

"Actually, you're only a little wrong."

James II was puzzled, but seeing that the other party did not deny his analysis, he relaxed slightly:

"Dare to ask Mr. Modot, what do you think my analysis is wrong?"

"Just one thing, guess why Sylla is so obsessed with me?"

Modot smiled:

"I'm not a subordinate of Wanyue."

His figure quickly collapsed and surged, his skin became dark, and his facial features, which could only be regarded as atmospheric, suddenly became extremely delicate and handsome, and Modote's body became like a marble sculpture, and every inch of his body achieved a golden ratio, and his whole body was filled with a supreme charm that made people crazy and obsessive.

The short pale hair fluttered in the wind, Modotte's black-red eyes narrowed slightly, the magic armor on his body fell off in an instant, and only a pair of trousers were left on his body, he folded his arms with both hands, revealing beautiful muscles, and behind his back, a pale blue tattoo quickly flowed.

His aura instantly rose to the Zeta level, and the energy in his body was as hot and dazzling as the sun, like a god on the ground, which made people dare not look directly, and only wanted to bow his head and kneel, prostrate and pray for mercy.

"As a courtesy, introduce myself: My name is Modot Kotel Husserl."

"The name in my hometown, means 'psychiatrist,' oh alas. I don't really like to study. ”

"You can call me the waning moon."
