Chapter 636: Tears crossed the corners of his eyes
339 held his breath and remained motionless on the leafy branches.
He looked through the leaves and into the air.
A giant dragon-headed butterfly made of white bones glided low in the sky, and the air currents it brought up rustled through the trees.
Not long after, another bone wyvern flew through the clouds like an arrow from a string, faster than a phalaenosaurus, condescendingly patrolling the world.
When this round of aerial flying beasts completely disappeared, 339's taut body relaxed a little.
It was good that the routine patrol in the evening was avoided.
Another day.
It was the fifth day that he had been trapped in enemy-occupied territory.
……
As a junior soldier, 339's mission is to reconnoiter the enemy's current situation and provide timely feedback to the rear troops.
339 remembers very well that when he first saw those bone dragons with red eyes, the fear and trembling of the hairs stood upside down, and the fighting spirit and high fighting spirit inspired by the powerful enemy, two strong feelings hit his body, making him more excited than he had ever been.
No one knows where the bone dragon came from.
They crawled out of a cave one after another, their cold and cruel claws returning to the land, their unbridled and ferocious red eyes searching for their prey, as if the seal had been lifted by an evil beast that had been dormant for many years.
These monsters are rapidly expanding their territory, flying into the sky, crossing mountains, stepping into rivers, and these terrifying monsters can be seen everywhere.
Before 339 could evacuate, it fell behind enemy lines.
He had seen the wyvern fly out of the ground into the air—two of them he had seen before, a butterfly dragon belonging to the air patrol, and a swift wyvern with eyes that emitted a red light that pierced through flesh.
And behind them, there was the King of the Wyverns.
339 Look into the distance.
He peered through the canopy of trees and could see the behemoth hanging in the sky.
In the thick clouds, only a small part of the complex bones and strange bulging outer bones were exposed. Only when the clouds flutter can you see the fierce and arrogant dragon head of the giant, and its astonishing outline like an island.
All Wyverns will return and converge towards the Dragon King, and then replace the next batch and continue to radiate in all directions, firmly controlling the sky.
And on the ground, the nimble bone dragons continue to expand their territory.
Leading the bone dragon was the Heavy Megalosaurus, which was three times the size of a normal bone dragon, with a thicker shell and a slower movement. It has a large hammer-like outer bone that rises high above its shoulder blades, and many strange flowers grow on its dorsal spine.
The first battle between the Zerg warriors and the Bone Dragon, 339 was a bystander.
At that time, he was also lying on this tree as he is now, observing the offensive and dispatch of the enemy army.
But everything was too fast.
The attacks of the Wyvern and the Bone Dragon were like fire, like claws in the air and fangs on the ground, easily tearing apart the insect-clad warriors at the forefront. In a head-on collision with the bone dragon, the armor of the warriors was constantly shattered and pierced.
After the heavy armored dragon entered, the flowers on its back erupted with a loud noise, and the buds hit the warriors like boulders, and among the falling black and purple petals, the corpses of the warriors were all over the field and stumps. The outer bones of the giant hammer shoot out cross-red light on the ground, killing the warriors who are too late to dodge at medium and close ranges one by one.
339 looked cold.
Can't fight.
This group of monsters from the underground...... More ferocious than the gods.
The Zerg are proud of the phalanx charge, the sky and the ground are coordinated, the superb and powerful hand-to-hand combat ability, and the characteristics of spell damage reduction...... In the face of these bone dragon legions that seem to have come back from the dead, none of them are superior.
The bone dragon is more neat and powerful than the insect warrior formation, there are combat units with a clear division of labor in the sky and on the earth, and the strength of the bone dragon's body is far beyond that of the servant zerg, which can not only fight hand-to-hand but also cast spells. Even if they are damaged and mutilated, there are skeleton soldiers who can repair them, not at all like the Zerg warriors who die one less than one.
339 watched too clearly, so his heart was extremely heavy.
The Bone Dragons are like a faster, more powerful, and stronger Zerg, they are equally fearless of death, they are everywhere in the heavens and on the ground, they are the same in battle and conquer, and they have the same terrifying madness of power......
There is absolutely no room to fight back.
What 339 can do now is to gather as much information as he can on the enemy, and then go back and tell Elder Sword.
But he couldn't find any chance to escape.
There are enemies in the sky and on the ground, and the bone dragon attaches great importance to the control of the territory. In addition, there are mixed combat teams of Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Soldiers on the ground, who take on more of the day-to-day patrol and defense work.
339 knew that with each passing day, his chances of survival were a little smaller.
He hides in a leafy tree, a blind spot that will sooner or later be discovered.
It is necessary to get out as soon as possible!
After nightfall, 339 finally found his chance.
Not far away there was a lamp, a special device of the enemy, which hovers in the air and glows at night.
But today, for some reason, the flying lantern suddenly became very dim, and 339 guessed that it was broken or that something had happened.
The lantern landed on the ground, repaired by a scout in bronze armor and a crystal helmet. There was still a fire in the man's crystal helmet, which seemed to be a technique to hide the light in the helmet.
The other party opened a box and was tinkering with something.
339 landed silently, lurking, approaching behind the scout, and pounced. He locked the opponent's helmet with one hand, and stabbed the opponent's throat with the other's wrist blade with the other, swiping it hard!
The Scout's head gurgled and rolled to the ground.
The assassination is complete!
339 Retract the knife and return it to the sheath.
Next, as long as you snatch this flying lantern, you will have a chance to fly out of this forest in the dark.
339 leaned over to the flying lantern, and fell silent.
It was all metal wires, strange leather, metal shells, ropes, and bottles and cans of liquid.
339 froze for a moment.
How do you fly?
Just as he was about to do something casually, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Don't mess with my kit."
339's wristblade slammed into the body of the man behind him, and the other party turned out to be the headless scout. The other party's neck was on fire, and the copper armor on his chest was also pierced by himself, but the armor was empty.
He has no body? Or is that black bone his form?
However, in the next second, a deafening pop sounded in 339's ears. He felt that his chest was continuously slammed by the giant hammer, and his body was suddenly knocked to the ground, becoming soft and collapsed.
In his blurred vision, he saw the headless scout holding a strange wooden stick in his hand, hollow and black in it, still emitting light smoke.
The other party said: "It's finally broken, [Black Magic] is still easy to spray at close range...... Not dead, right? It's good that you're not dead. ”
The Headless Soldier then proceeded to disassemble and pull 339's armor.
339 was cold, desperately trying to break free and protect his armor and dignity, but his whole body was completely powerless, and the connection with the armor seemed to be severed.
His consciousness became blurred, and tears rolled through the corners of his eyes.
……
When he woke up again, 339 felt extremely tired, and his body became heavy and numb.
He is no longer riddled with armor, and has changed from a glorious soldier to another civilian who is powerless.
The strong warrior's will and unyielding desire to fight also disappeared with the departure of the armor.
339 was distraught.
What do they do if they catch me? Are you going to torture me? Will you put me to death in public? Or are you going to eat me?
The door was pushed open, and a strange-looking man flew in.
It had a pit-like body, a two-pronged mustache, and round eyes staring at 339. Behind it, stood two skeletal soldiers with thick wooden sticks on their backs.
"What's your name?"
"I'm 339."
"In other words, you are a subordinate warrior, the number 339 of a junior warrior?"
"Yes......"
339 was a little surprised, the other party seemed to have a clear understanding of the Zerg. And there is no problem with communicating with the other party at all, obviously the other party's pronunciation and speech are completely different from their own, but both parties can understand each other.
"My name is Wadiyeh and I'm a military advisor."
The other party looked at him: "Look at me, serve 339, lose that layer of armor, don't you even have the courage to look at each other?" ”
339's gaze was still involuntarily dodging, he felt very cold, hungry and uncomfortable.
"How many of you are there?"
"90,000 soldiers, 10,000 here."
Telling the secret so easily surprised 339 himself.
Oh, how weak! What a waste of me!
Now he is no longer a warrior, just a weak and pitiful civilian.
"Oh? Do such a few people dare to attack the world? ”
"All I know is that 10,000 people landed and about 30,000 died. However, since then, our warriors have increased through the construction of camps, the domestication and breeding of xenomorphs, and the continued deployment of the Legion Headquarters. ”
339 said with some self-defeat, "Now I don't know how many there are, Elder Sword will know." ”
"Your legion leader here, the elder, is in this world?"
"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to confront the gods here. It took a lot of time and money to exterminate them, and we finally gave these local lives a chance to be free again, so that they no longer had to be enslaved by the gods. ”
There was a hint of strangeness in Vadiye's eyes: "How do you know that they are enslaved by the gods, and not willingly follow the gods?" ”
"Isn't that a matter of course?"
339 blurted out: "People are always afraid of God, and fear can only turn into worship, otherwise it is impossible to live." Therefore, only by freeing these people who have been enslaved and controlled by God can they be freed from ignorance and self-deception and restored to freedom. ”
"Is this your opinion?"
"No, it's Her Majesty's will and wisdom."
"That's your supreme leader, right? So how did you get rid of these people? Is it salvation to take them as slaves, kill those who disobey them, and then destroy the idols and the source of the gods' will in this way? ”
Vadiye's questioning made 339 scratch his head: "Because after believing in the gods, many people are very stubborn, and we must use special methods to make them wake up and turn them into our warriors, which is the best." These are necessary to awaken them from their madness and not to follow the gods in ignorance. ”
"So they don't hesitate to die here?"
“……”
Vadiye said coldly: "Do you know why you have become weak and cowardly because you have lost your armor? Because you are what you are, it is the aliens that have transformed you, and with them you have become crazy warmongers, and they have changed your tendencies and perceptions, and they have filled you with the desire to fight and hunt. ”
"That's not right." 339 argued: "It is we who domesticate the aliens, we use their powers, they are our comrades and partners. ”
"Is that so? Then I ask you, what are you stone baboons who don't have a symbiosis of alien insects, those so-called civilians, doing? ”
"They're living."
The other party laughed: "Is the so-called life like a tool, constantly being forcibly asked to mate, giving birth to offspring, and then being thrown away to feed the bugs after losing the value of fertility?" ”
"This is the life of civilians, civilians will always die." 339 said casually.
This is a very normal division of labor for the Zerg.
Fighters died on the battlefield, civilians died in the rear.
"I see."
"Well, if there is such a god who controls everyone's mind, so that people are completely unaware that they are under his control," Vadiye said. It is believed that it is normal to die for Him, to fight for Him, to persecute and kill weak people of His kind. So such a god, are you going to defeat him and save this group of people? ”
"Of course, if I were a warrior...... When you say gods, do you mean alien insects? ”
339 reacted.
"We are here to save those who have been enslaved by God, unlike your barbaric acts of war."
Vadiye grinned: "Really? So let's see, what slavery is, what is what you call salvation. It only takes a short time and everything will fall into place. ”
"Let's see if you domesticated the bugs, or if the bugs tamed you."
