Chapter 213: The Wolf Smoke of the Counterattack
In the ruins that were originally blocked by darkness, at some point, they have been illuminated by a few strong lights, and even every drop of rain falling in the sky can be seen clearly.
The glare came from the tops of several broken wooden staffs, tools that had been held as weapons in the hands of the men in black not long ago, and now became scrap that could not be reused. Probably because the structure of the internal Rubik's Cube was damaged, the originally dim light suddenly became extremely dazzling.
The weapons in their hands have turned into waste, and it is imagined that their owners will not be able to escape, and on the edge of the rubble pile not far from these light sources, several men in black are wriggling like bugs. Their hands and feet were connected, and their robes were tied with strong ropes that looked like a few black sausages.
These were the few men in black closest to the inside of the encirclement, and when Curt's raid gave the besieged guards a chance, they were unsurprisingly the top priority.
It was the guy who stood at the front of the bravado, and when he was thrown to the ground by the man who rushed out of the rubble, a storm of fists awaited him. Receiving this unexpected attack, he was beaten and bruised and swollen before he could react.
Seeing that he was knocked down without fighting back, the shaking quickly spread to all sides, but it wasn't until he watched several of his companions being knocked down that the rest of the black-clothed people noticed that their situation was not good. Just when they turned around and wanted to flee, they found that they didn't even have a chance to escape.
The guards, who had been at a disadvantage for a moment due to the vibration caused by the rock colossus, had already surrounded them, and their weapons were already aimed at their vital points. It may look a little similar now. But the besieged and besieged groups have fallen one by one.
A few men in black who were on guard at the edge of the encirclement saw their companions in an unfavorable situation, and they turned around and ran away rather "smartly". Except for the illuminated defensive fronts, the ruins were still surrounded by night-covered forests. As long as they manage to escape into the darkness, they will be able to escape capture.
Curt could only say that they were so naïve, did they think that the solution they could get would not have been imagined by these battle-hardened guards?
On the edge of the light, the two guards worked together to hunt down the men in black who took advantage of the chaos to escape. After a young guard struck the panicked men in black with his baton, his comrades would take advantage of the moments of dizziness to restrain the enemy with shackles.
The few soldiers sent by the garrison to assist in the defense were more skilful than the garrison officers. Although the whole body has already been wet by the pouring rain. They are still able to move swiftly across potholed ground and take down enemies who try to flee with the speed of cheetahs.
It's like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the people in black who looked like villains before were wiped out by those guards in the blink of an eye.
This is different from Curt's tactic of using spells to rob him of his physical mobility. Their methods are simple and brutal, and their effects are obvious, which may be quite appropriate for who they are. Curt dared to assert that even if he and Lizzie had not intervened in this lever, they would probably have been able to get out of the predicament quickly.
And for Curt, the "friendly citizen" who helped them fight back, their attitude was very unkind. After a few brief explanations, he was asked to take notes.
"I'm Beate, a fourth-class patrol member of the garrison. Thank you, citizen, for your help to us. Just as Curt was throwing the man in black paralyzed by his spell to the concentration point on the edge of the ruins, a young man's voice suddenly reached his ears through the rain curtain, "Please come here to make a record, we have some questions to ask...... Wait, Mr. Leonster, why are you?"
But fortunately, the person in charge of making the record is a familiar person, and sometimes Curt really thinks. It can be convenient to make a few friends when necessary. For example, now, when the muddy Beate appears in front of him with a wet notebook. Curt immediately gave a friendly smile.
"Well, Byatt, it's been a long time since Grostide said you've been entrusted with an 'important mission,' referring to coming here to help defend it. ”
When he moved in the other day and planned to have a drink with the two of them, by the way, he found out that this was the main purpose, but Grostide refused. He regretfully told Sù Curt that he was inadequate, and Beate was assigned to a rather important task and had no free time.
"Alas...... Don't be sarcastic, Mr. Leinster. ”
Beate exhaled heavily, and glanced at the men in black with a frown: "To tell you the truth, this so-called 'confidential mission' is about to give me a headache to death." You don't know how many monsters we've fought off in the past few days, and I don't know where to provoke them!"
These monsters were manipulated by the Eyes of Sight, and the Abbey of Wigginas contained the Eyes of Sight, but the fact that they had been attacked in the past few days was something that Curt had not heard of. So he nodded silently, and motioned for Beate to put in a little more relevant news.
According to Byatt's information, the area around Cartrice is not as calm as it seems. After that widespread attack, the True Eye moved its targets to the garrisons and garrisons that were fortified everywhere, and the harassment never stopped.
"The first few days were just harassing Cheng Dù's contact, these monsters and people in black always took advantage of the cover of the rainstorm to appear around, causing some chaos and disappearing immediately. ”
As he spoke, Beate glanced indignantly at the black-clothed men who were tied up with flowers: "Then tonight, the attack suddenly became intense. In the evening, the first wave of monsters suddenly appeared, and then the men in black carrying strange spell casting tools. It was enough of a headache to deal with those monsters, but I don't know where someone shot explosives at the bunker. ”
True. If you just have to deal with either the monster or the man in black alone, these guards with cover will not be at a disadvantage. But when the two are multiplied, the trouble will definitely not be the result of a simple mathematical operation such as "one plus one equals two".
If only the monsters that were menacing not so long ago could help the Men in Black group. Perhaps the guards' counterattack will cost a few people wounded. Only now, without exception, they are all slumped on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
This was the effect of the turbulence from before, and the source was the ancient text that Lizzie had set up nearby, but she didn't expect her spell to have such an effective result. If Beate wants to be thankful, it can only be thanks to Lizzie's unintentional actions.
Originally, she only planned to use the magic turbulence for a short time to interfere with the monsters' action judgment, but the moment those magic turbulence hit the monsters, she clearly felt that something in these magic objects reacted, and it was a familiar feeling that the magic power had been defeated.
"Ahh That's exactly ......."
Standing in the dark, Lizzie grabbed a monster with the appearance of a bat and observed it intently. Its reptilian head had only red eyes, and its mouth full of tiny dagger teeth was stained with the flesh of an unknown creature.
It's just a ubiquitous wing-handed monster called a lizard. Saying that they are monsters is not much different from ordinary beasts. The question is...... This common little monster should not have a pintip-sized lapis lazuli shard embedded in its head.
This timid and fragile monster can be said to be basically not aggressive. Even if their habitat is invaded by foreign enemies, these monsters will prefer to flee rather than attack. Nowadays they are so aggressive. Presumably also affected by the spells that manipulated them. The source of these spells. It was almost certainly the lapis lazuli fragment embedded in their heads.
Somewhat similar to those chimeras, these monsters, whether in the form of bats or wolves, are supposed to be raised by members of the True Eye. The shards of lapis lazuli have become one with their flesh, so they will act at the mercy of spells.
The magical turbulence created by Lizzie easily destroyed the spell attached to the lapis lazuli shard, and its effect was ...... It's probably the equivalent of forcibly ripping off part of the brains from the heads of these monsters. In the blink of an eye, they lost the most basic part of their bodies to support them, and the monsters immediately lost their mobility.
"Although it is a one-time consumable, this crude process is really incomprehensible. I have the impression that the Ultramarines are some of the research maniacs who have to be perfect in everything. Even if it's just a small minion that is used to cause trouble for the enemy, it will be allocated equipment with the necessary strength or more. ”
Listening to the new revelation conveyed by Liqi, Curt subconsciously glanced at the men in black, even if they were restrained by shackles. They're still struggling with dishonesty. Even if they are like "abandoned children", the will to fight in their hearts is indeed admirable.
"Hey Beyat Patrol. Are you done over there?"
A security officer greeted Beate, and at the same time put the huge suitcase seized from the man in black into the suitcase and said: "This should be the last missing piece of spare parts, this group of cursed terrorists, I must make them look good when they get to the bureau!"
The security officer also seemed to know Curt, so he didn't react when he saw Beate chatting with him with a relaxed face, and even nodded politely to Curt.
"Ah, be careful, you have to be careful with that box in your hand. Beate spoke, fiddling with the pen in his hand, "Because it's inside." ”
"Blow up ......?"
The security officer, who heard Beate's reminder, couldn't help but stare at the suitcase in front of him in amazement.
"Well, even though the letter tube hasn't been plugged in yet, it shouldn't just explode casually. Beate said disapprehantly, "But you know, it's better to be careful with this kind of thing." ”
As an outsider, Curt listened to what the two were saying, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he felt as if he had appeared something interesting. (To be continued......)
