61. The hero returns

In front of the tent where the fallen soldiers were laid.

Li Nuo lifted the curtain of the door, twisted his chin and looked down in thought.

The fallen Imperial soldiers were actually protected by the corpse...

No.

It would be inaccurate to say that.

The correct way to say this should be:

Fallen Imperial soldiers will be sucked from their corpses by the corpse at the moment of their death.

In the past half hour, Li Nuo has carried three "living" corpses and repeatedly confirmed this.

Further, all living who die within the range of the corpse, regardless of whether they died at the hands of the undead, will have their soul crumbs removed from the corpse by the corpse.

If Li Nuo wanted to increase his soul strength, he had to avoid the Corpse's sphere of influence.

Looking at the front line in full swing, a trace of strangeness appeared in Li Nuo's heart.

How did he feel that the Necronomicon Sect was making a sure deal?

Use the immortal essence in the corpse as bait, supplemented by the threat of land fall, and force the Imperial army to come to the tomb to clean up the filth.

In the process, the Imperial army invested a lot of supplies and spent a lot of troops.

What did the Imperial army get?

Immortal essences that replenish life, and tombs that could be overrun by the undead again at any time.

The Necronomicon Sect paid the essence of eternal life to create the magic materials for the corpses and the spellcasting materials for summoning the army of the undead.

Other than that, there shouldn't be any additional costs.

Are these overheads too big for the Necronomicon?

Li Nuo is not an insider of the Necronomicon Sect, and he doesn't know much about the situation.

But he felt that if the cost of war was a huge burden for the Necromantic Sect, then the group of dead would choose to sleep underground and accumulate strength.

Instead of stirring up trouble in the tombs from time to time, as is the case now, forcing the Imperial army to clean up.

In any case, the Necromantic Sect has given material things and harvested souls.

This is definitely a sure profit for the undead who live on their souls.

"Sir, I've moved the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the tent."

Li Nuo wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, came to the bottom of the high platform, and looked up at the guards above.

The guard lowered his head, just about to say something, but inadvertently swept the stairwell with his afterglow, and his face suddenly welled up with joy:

"Oh my God! Look, everyone! Ensign Gretel is back! Ensign Gretel is back! ”

His screams are less noticeable in the roar of the guns, but the name "Gretel" is too noticeable.

Several soldiers poked their heads out of the ramparts, looked in the direction the guards were pointing, and then turned and shouted at their comrades.

"It's really Second Lieutenant Gretel! Look, guys! Ensign Glitter did not die!! ”

"Let me see! … Hiss! Unbelievable, he escaped from the Crypt Spider! ”

"Who is the person next to Ensign Gretel? Is it Pym? … Huh? No, no, it's not Pym, it's Sergeant Mars! Could it be Sergeant Mars and Sergeant Pym who rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel together? And what about Sergeant Pym? ”

"Leave that MI2 guy alone, I feel disgusted when I think of his face, a big man, who either combs his hair or gets his manicure all day long, it's really disgusting."

The gunfire at the front line briefly subsided, and the soldiers poked their heads out of the ramparts and looked in the direction of the Gretels as they talked.

If it weren't for the guards on the high platform, shouting and maintaining order in battle, the front line would probably have fallen into a state of "dumb fire".

It's no wonder that the soldiers are not disciplined, it is the scene of Second Lieutenant Gretel's return to the camp that is too shocking.

The suspense of a mortal man appearing alive is enough to make everyone curious.

Li Nuo faced in the direction of the two Gretels and opened his mouth slightly, letting a look of surprise be written on his face.

He knew that Ensign Gretel was not dead.

He also guessed that Sergeant Mars would return with Second Lieutenant Gretel.

However, a traverser who has mastered the death spell is a good Sin Soldier No. 888.

With just the right amount of surprise, Leno ran towards Sergeant Mars, exactly like a member of the squad who had seen the Commander survive.

"Sir Mars, you're so good that you rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel." Li Nuo ran up to Mars with a little admiration and said.

Mars was now holding Gretel's right arm on top of him and helping him towards the camp.

Look at Second Lieutenant Gretel, this burly man, with his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, his face bruised and bruised, and there was no good place on his body, and he looked completely in pain.

But actually... Li Nuo knew very well in his heart that Ensign Gretel's condition was very good.

When he first met Ensign Gretel, Leno needed 1000 energy points to fully deconstruct him.

Now, that number has doubled to 2,000 points.

This shows that Ensign Glitter has been promoted from the first-order "Imperial Fist" to the second-order.

The pained look on his face and the injuries on his body were deliberately disguised.

Li Nuo shook his head secretly, and said in his heart What kind of army did he enter, how come everyone is an actor...

Sergeant Mars's acting skills are not bad either.

He deliberately tightened the lines on his face, and said in a solemn tone:

"Jarvis, now is not a good time to chat. Go and get the medic to come and help. In order to fight the Crypt Spider, Second Lieutenant Glitter has severely overdrawn his body and has suffered severe injuries that require immediate medical treatment. ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go."

Leno glanced down the stairwell behind the two, pretending to look for Pym's traces.

His face showed just the right amount of embarrassment and grievance, and finally turned away with a long sigh:

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you, Sergeant Pym... Eh, forget it, let's talk about it later, I'll go and call the medic first. ”

As soon as Li Nuo left, the onlookers surrounded the two Gretels.

They hugged the two heroes and walked towards the medical tent.

Some soldiers were more anxious and upright, and they couldn't bear the evil breath in their chests, so they sprayed directly.

"Sir Gretel, Sergeant Pym is so hateful!"

"That's right! We wanted to save you, but he wouldn't let us go! ”

He suspected that Sinner 888 was a spy of the Death Society, so he didn't even ask Sergeant Alvin, so he arrested Sinner 888 and interrogated him! Isn't that too much? Isn't that a slap in the face for our sergeants? Sinner 888 is the one who saved our sergeants! ”

"What?! Was Jarvis interrogated by Pym? When did this happen? Sergeant Mars was dumbfounded.

Although Ensign Gretel's eyes were closed, he also shook his body, obviously concerned about this issue.

Sergeant Hans had worked with Leno before, and he had a high opinion of him.

He took over and said:

"It happened right after we retreated from the third basement floor. No sooner had we returned to camp than Pym had no choice but to arrest Sinner 888. As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with Sin 888! Pym didn't even interrogate a fart! I can only release Sin Soldier 888... By the way, Mars, what about the Pyms? Didn't he, along with his four guards, go to the rescue of Ensign Gretel? ”

yes, what about Pym?

Everyone looked at the dark stairwell, looked at each other, and had to turn their eyes to Mars.

Sergeant Mars took a deep breath, a hint of sorrow flashed across his face, and his voice became hoarse:

"Sergeant Pym, he... He died, as did four of his guards. After escaping to the second basement level with Second Lieutenant Gretel, I was surrounded by the Stone Mound Bound Spirits. If it hadn't been for Pym and his guards, who had fought with their lives to get us out, the two of us would have died on the second basement floor. ”

"Dead... Pym turned out to be dead.."

"He has it today! … Ah, I'm sorry, I mean, Pym is heroic..."

"I didn't expect it.. Pym will also sacrifice himself... I thought he was a complete jerk.."

Sergeant Mars looked at the soldiers in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

He and Ensign Gretel knew that Pym was a spy for the Death Society.

But this information cannot be made public at this time.

At least not yet.

Because, between the spies of the Death Society, there are two ways of communication and single-line communication at the same time.

Single-line contact means that the upline knows the identity of the downline, but the downline does not know the identity of the upline.

Two-line contact means that both the upper and lower lines know each other's identities.

Pym's true identity must have been known to another part of the Death Society spies.

When the news of his identity was revealed, it quickly alerted the other Death Society spies, which in turn affected Captain Murphy's plans for the future.

In order to take care of the overall situation, he can only endure it at this time, and when the task here is completed, he will reveal Pim's true identity.

Just when the soldiers were feeling emotional, Li Nuo came back with the medical soldiers.

He had just heard the news of Pym's death, and his expression became very complicated.

After being oppressed, I finally let out a bad breath.

There is also the joy of the disgusted person after the violent death.

There was also a slight consternation, as if he didn't expect Pym to sacrifice himself for others.

This series of micro-expressions was something he had been brewing for a long time to show.

His purpose is clear.

That is to make himself an ordinary criminal who has no idea of Pym's true identity.

"The sacrifice of Sergeant Pym is truly regrettable. I thought he was a troublemaker, but I didn't expect him to have a fearless side. ”

With a light sigh and emotion, Li Nuo dispersed the complicated expression on his face, and turned sideways to make way for him:

"Sir, the Medic is here."

Second Lieutenant Gretel was gently placed on a stretcher.

The medic lifted the heavy stretcher, waved his hand to disperse the crowd, and ran towards the medical tent.

After Ensign Gretel left, the atmosphere on the scene was no longer so intense.

The soldiers walked towards their own barriers.

Sergeant Mars grabbed Leno and walked towards his team's tent.

"Jarvis, tell me what happened. How did Pym interrogate you? What did he ask you, and how did you answer? ”

After entering the tent, Sergeant Mars lowered his voice and said in an unusually solemn tone:

"You didn't reveal our plans, did you?"

"Nope. Sir. In the name of MI2 investigators, he forced me to confess to the person who taught me necromantic runes, and he beckoned me with an electric shock collar. I didn't say anything. ”

Li Nuo spoke with a frank face.

He was determined to get himself out of this trouble, and that nothing would go wrong.

But Sergeant Mars glanced up and down at Li Nuo, obviously a little unconvinced.

He knew too well the methods of MI2.

If Pym really wants to be ruthless, how many people can withstand it?

But looking at Li Nuo's appearance, it seems that he has indeed not been interrogated, and there are no injuries on his body...

No, no, did Pym use a truth spitter?

Sergeant Mars's eyes were slightly condensed, staring at Li Nuo's face, fanning his nose slightly, and taking a few breaths.

The taste of the truth vomit is more pungent.

When anyone drinks it, it leaves a distinct odor in the mouth.

In addition, people who drink the elixir will have sequelae such as pupil flutter and mental trance. Only people with excellent physical fitness can be immune to sequelae, such as the "Fist of Empire".

Li Nuo does not have these phenomena, and he is not the "Fist of the Empire".

Then there is only one answer.

Leno was not injected with the elixir, and Pym did interrogate him with an electric shock collar. Li Nuo really didn't shake Captain Murphy out.

Sergeant Mars suddenly slapped his head and whispered to himself:

"Eh, I almost didn't make a detour... If Pym had known that there was Captain Murphy hiding in the army, he would have left the tomb as soon as possible, instead of going to the third basement to die. So you certainly didn't confess the existence of Captain Murfia. ”

"What? Sir? What are you talking about? Li Nuo looked confused on the surface, but sighed secretly in his heart - Sir Mars, you have finally reacted.

"No, no, no, nothing. You're good, Jarvis. I believe in you. You certainly didn't leak your plans. ”

Sergeant Mars reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

He was about to say a few words of relief when a whistle came from outside the tent.
