Lieutenant Slack transforms into a roar.

He is a second-order "Fist of the Empire" and has mastered a more powerful controllable mutation ability.

His body swelled dramatically, rising several meters in place.

Under the skin above and below the body, countless tempered bones grow.

These iron-gray bones are harder than normal steel, and are all secreted by the biochemical glands in Slack's body.

In just 10 seconds, Slack, who was still a human captain, turned into an iron giant wrapped in a tempered exoskeleton!

Bright crimson fire, scattered from the swirling furnace in his abdomen.

The air around him rose a few minutes.

The hot air spread outward, and Li Nuo only felt a burst of heat on his face, as if there was a steel furnace standing in front of him.

"Lieutenant Slack is the 'Iron Forge Giant'! No wonder the captain of the elite squad is him. The Steel Forge Giant's steel hull is perfect for escorting personnel, and the lava torrent inside him is extremely lethal. ”

Sergeant Mars's eyes trembled, full of longing.

He grabbed Leno and ran towards Lieutenant Slack.

Lieutenant Slack bent down and stretched out his broad steel palms for the two to stand.

The steel exoskeleton on his chest opened in half, revealing a mezzanine space just big enough for two people.

After placing Leno and Mars in the mezzanine, a dull thud of heat rushing through Lieutenant Slack's body was like the roar of a powerful internal combustion engine.

"Woo~"

Lieutenant Slack's back erupted two streams of white steam, and his body sped up.

Li Nuo hid in the sandwich of the steel exoskeleton and firmly held the steel skeleton in his hand, so that he could stand firm in a strong sense of pushing back.

Looking through the cracks in the steel exoskeleton, Li Nuo saw the necromantic outpost that was rapidly growing larger.

The distance between Lieutenant Slack and the Necro Outpost was rapidly decreasing, and the unrivaled high-pressure steam propelled the Steel Forge Giant on its way.

The war spirit standing on the roof of the watchtower became clear in Li Nuo's eyes.

It was a skeletal undead in black armor and cloak, and the surface of the skeleton was densely covered with mysterious necromantic runes.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and a thick body, and the armor on his body was delicate and ancient.

The center of his eyebrows was inlaid with a diamond-shaped black gem, and the white bone sword in his hand was surrounded by green light, full of evil intent.

The Bone Sword wasn't supposed to be a melee weapon.

It is most likely a spellcasting medium similar to the "Bone Wand", which is a sword-shaped wand.

Li Nuo frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

He actually mastered several undead summoning circles now.

This is a harmless deconstruction he took from the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline".

But with no ritual materials, no venue, and no chance to be alone, he has never been able to summon his undead subordinates.

If he could summon the undead at will like the war spirit, he would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble, and he would not have to worry about secretly arranging the summoning circle.

He now has some stamina in his hands and is eager to get spells that temporarily summon undead creatures.

Is it the war spirit itself that has the ability to summon the undead on the spot, or is it the white bone sword in his hand that gives him this ability?

If you go down the stud and can't get the spell to summon the undead creatures temporarily, it won't be a big loss...

Without waiting for Li Nuo to come to a conclusion, there was a new change in the outpost.

The war spirit at the top of the watchtower held the bone sword with both hands, smashed it hard, and inserted the sword into the watchtower at his feet.

Bright green rays erupted from the bone sword like flowing water, and soon drenched the tower from top to bottom.

For a moment, the watchtower seemed to come to life.

Its surface cracked through several openings, and between one and the other, it sucked the green rays into its mouth.

Several thick, bony barrels protruding from the cracks. The nozzle overflowed with a miserable green glow, quickly accumulating the energy needed to fire the cannonballs.

Lieutenant Slack noticed the anomaly on the guard tower for the first time, and hurriedly shouted:

"Team 1, intercept the Necro Battery! Cover me! ”

The Shield Giant propped his hand on the top of the wall, turned over and stood on the wall, holding his shield aloft in front of the Necrogenic Battery.

A screeching noise like a baby's cry rang out, green light glittered from the watchtower, and the necromantic turret shot dark green beams of energy to bombard the bone shield in the hands of the shield giant.

The green energy beam collided with the shield surface, bursting out a large green "splash".

Everything that was contaminated by these green "splashes" quickly dissolved in the black smoke with a strong smell of decay.

The shield giant roared in pain, his body swayed, his feet on the wall, barely keeping his center of gravity on the outpost wall.

The bone shield in their hands was forcibly cut in half by the green energy beam, and it was almost pierced by the green energy beam!

"Mars, Jarvis, hold on! I'm going over the wall! Move fast! The power of the Necrogenic Turret is not intimidating! Even I can only withstand five volleys! ”

Lieutenant Slack flew forward, leaping over the fence and landing firmly on the street inside the outpost.

At this time, the bone colossus has been dragged out of the city by the ranger giants. The two sides fought together, and there was no time to care about the second lieutenant Slack in the city.

The necromantic turret is blocked by the shield giant. The war spirit standing at the top of the watchtower was also suppressed by the cannon of the heavy artillery giant.

Unable to summon a new Bone Colossus and Necromantic Turret, the War Spirit could only desperately mobilize the power of the magic shield to resist the Empire's artillery bombardment.

Now is the best time to modify the Necromantic Rune, and the window that the elite squad has created with all their might is fleeting!

Lenovo was well aware of all this.

He stared at the scene outside the armor, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the magic shield.

Mars nervously held up the teachings and translations of the Necronomicon Sect and placed them in front of Li Nuo for the other party's reference.

These translations were also translated by Captain Murphy, corresponding to the texts of other factions of the Necromancy.

Li Nuo had already collected all the manuscripts in Mars's hand, and at this time he just pretended to glance at them a few times.

He raised his arm and pointed to a corner on the protective cover:

"There, sir, you're at three o'clock, about four meters above the ground. I've seen the necromantic runes in that area, I've seen them in the translation that Sergeant Mars carried! ”

Lieutenant Slack dodged the beam of energy fired from the Necro Turret, and moved in the direction that Leno was pointing.

Lieutenant Slack arrives at the target location and opens the tempered exoskeleton on his chest.

Li Nuo emerged from the mezzanine and stood on the platform built by the exoskeleton, stretching out his right hand holding the rune stick.

Sergeant Mars acted as a stand on the side, holding the manuscript to Lenovo's side.

Li Nuo symbolically glanced at the translation a few times, and then began to revise the necromantic rune.

The contacts of the rune rod swam rapidly in the magic shield, and Li Nuo erupted with the fastest modification speed ever.

This operation was interrupted from time to time by the energy beams from the necromantic battery, and Li Nuo was not in a hurry or impatient, and always revised the necromantic rune with a 100% success rate.

About two minutes later.

A large cloud of black mist erupted from the magic shield.

The speed of energy flow in the protective cover is significantly reduced, and the black surface flashes a few times, conveying a signal that the energy delivery is unstable.

Obviously, the magic shield of this watchtower is not as advanced as the protective shield of the corpse.

A slight modification of the Necromantic Rune is enough to cause it to become energetically disturbed.

The war spirit standing at the top of the tower immediately sensed the abnormality of the protective shield and cast his gaze at the iron giant below.

Two shells exploded in front of it, but the spirit of war ignored it, allowing the fragments and flames from the shells to fall on him.

It roared, raised its bone sword, and danced a sword flower, stabbing diagonally downward, aiming its sharp tip at the iron giant below.

A miserable green pillar of light shot out from the bone sword and slammed into Captain Slack's face.

Captain Slack raised his arms and activated the tempered exoskeleton on his arms to construct an oval tempered bone shield.

Green light splashed, bone shields melted, and rancid breath raged.

Lieutenant Slack barely managed to hold off the onslaught of decay and decay.

Seeing that his attacks had little effect, the War Spirit flew into a rage, and let out another high-pitched roar, swinging the Bone Sword downward, bound to drive the thorny Steel Forgester Giant away from the watchtower.

But!

Late!

Li Nuo took advantage of the kung fu of the two to destroy more than a dozen necromantic runes in one breath in the explosion and trembling!

On the magic protective cover, there was another big rift spewing black mist!

It's bigger than the previous rift! And it hasn't closed for a long time!

"Haha! Jarvis, well done! ”

Lieutenant Slack laughed and stepped forward, pressing the fiery red furnace in his abdomen against the rift.

"Buzz Buzz..."

A series of electrophoresis-like vibrations emanated from his body, and the temperature of the air suddenly rose, almost boiling.

Lino's feet shook incessantly, as if a flame-ridden beast was about to emerge from Slack's belly.

"Die! Filthy War Spirit! Destroy! Watchtower of sin! ”

Lieutenant Slack roared:

"Melt! Steel! Shoot! Line! Launch!! ”

A red, searing beam of light shot out of Slack's abdomen, piercing into the crack in the magic shield.

After a third of a second of entangled in the shield, the scorching beam forcibly pierced through the shield and stabbed into the wall at the base of the watchtower.

Lieutenant Slack leaned back, facing upwards.

The blazing beam moved with his angle, sweeping from the base of the tower to the rooftop, splitting the tower in two!

Walls cracked, boulders tumbled, the sky trembled, and smoke billowed.

Ensign Slack closes the tempered exoskeleton on his chest and withdraws from the outpost with Leno and Mars before the tower collapses.

The necromantic turret was muted, and the thick bone barrel shattered into pieces, and as the watchtower collapsed, it was reduced to nothing.

The body of the skeletal colossus swelled and exploded like a balloon, spilling rancid water and wreckage into the audience.

The magic shield flickered a few times, but it couldn't withstand the impact of the destruction of the watchtower, and it shattered into light like broken glass with a click, dissipating into the air.

Elite squad-transformed Imperial Giants gather outside the outpost to witness the tower's rise from existence to none.

By the time the smoke had sunk and the line of sight had become clear, the outpost had been reduced to rubble.

Only a skeleton in armor and cloak, with a bone sword in his hand, stood alone in the dust.

This is a battle that is not suspenseful.

On the Imperial side, one second-order Extraordinary, three first-order Extraordinary, and nine elite combatants comparable to the First-Order Extraordinary were dispatched.

On the side of the Necronomicon Sect, only the War Spirit is stronger than the first-order "Imperial Fist" and slightly weaker than the second-order Extraordinary One.

If it weren't for the intractable magic shield and necromantic turret, the War Spirit wouldn't have the strength to fight at all.

Now, the magic shield has been broken by Li Nuo, and the imperial side is not crushing the enemy like a withering and decaying one.

Looking at the lingering war spirit, a heavy artillery giant was prostrate on the ground, and there was a sound of reloading from his body.

He was about to get to know the war spirit in front of him, but was stopped by Lieutenant Slack.

"Don't worry about that crumb. The Necronomicon Sect stipulates that the war spirits guarding the outpost must use the watchtower as a "life box" and fight to the death. When we destroy the magic shield and watchtower, we destroy its lifeguard. This debris will die in no time, and it is not worth our ammunition. ”

"Click-click-click..."

As soon as Lieutenant Slack's words fell, a series of crisp sounds sounded from the battle spirit standing on the white bone sword.

His bones were cracking, and there were many more cracks in the bone sword.

The crunch grew denser, like the sound of a firecracker.

Countless bone fragments and dust were sprinkled on the Warrior Spirit's body, and finally collapsed with a bang when the sound of bone cracking stopped, turning into bone fragments.

The black gem set in his forehead also shattered into powder in an instant, and sank into the ruins.

The same is true for the bone sword in the hand of the war spirit.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the gray smoke in the ruins, and the battle soul flew away, killing him on the spot.

What did Lieutenant Slack just say?

That watchtower is the life guard of the War Spirit!

Li Nuo's pupils vibrated, and a hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

He tried to suppress the joy in his heart, controlling the changes in his face and the rate of his breathing, and showing complete composure, but his mind was already flooding with thoughts.

What is a Life Guard?

Hey.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Nuo couldn't stop laughing secretly.

The Life Crate is a death magic item that is used to protect one's soul by undead creatures with a mind.

Undead creatures do not die completely as long as their souls are immortal.

The soul is the root of the undead creatures.

In order to prevent their souls from being destroyed by the enemy, powerful undead will create a life guard to properly place their souls.

To put it more gamally, lifeguards are the respawn points of undead creatures.

No matter where the undead creature dies, it can be resurrected with the help of the souls in the life guard.

Destroying the life guard is equivalent to destroying the soul of the undead, that is, completely killing the dead soul.

Li Nuo also didn't expect that the Necromantic Sect would ask the War Spirit to use the watchtower as a life guard.

What a surprise it was!

[System News: You and the elite team of the Tatis Empire have teamed up to destroy the "Necromantic Outpost Commander's Life Guard". 】

[Ling's combat contribution is: Destroy the integrity of the magic shield.] 】

[As assessed by the system, you have inflicted Containment Operation-level weakness damage on the "Life Guard.] 】

[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】

[Your completion of the deconstruction of "War Spirit" has increased from 0% to 24%. 】

[Your completion of deconstruction of the "Life Guard" has increased from 0% to 12%. 】

[Your completion of the deconstruction of the "Magic Shield" has increased from 11.8% to 21.8%]

[You have obtained the following deconstruction results...]

Without waiting for Li Nuo to carefully check the system message, Lieutenant Slack's voice came from outside the mezzanine:

"Jarvis, Mars, come out, don't go far, stay around here. Others act according to the established plan. Detachment 1 was responsible for reconnoitering the southern rivers, and Squad 2 was responsible for reconnoitering the northern rivers. Detachment 3 cleared the ruins of the outpost, leveled the ground, and opened up space for the necromantic cargo ships to be intercepted. ”

Lieutenant Slack arranged for two people to go to the ground to report the news, informing the army to come quickly.

Leno stepped on Slack's palm, stepped out of the exoskeleton interlayer, and fell to the ground.

He and Mars stepped aside and watched the cyborg giants clean up the battlefield.

There is no one more suitable for this kind of heavy physical work than the cyborg giants.

For a while, Li Nuo and Mars became the most idle people on the scene.

Li Nuo only then had time to check his gains.

[System News: Your completion of the deconstruction of "War Spirit" has increased from 0% to 24%. 】

[You get the following deconstruction result:]

[1. You have mastered more necromantic runes.] Necromancy increased from level 1 to level 2. 】

[2 Due to the increase in Necromantic Rune skills, the difficulty of harmlessly deconstructing the Ten Commandments of Martyrdom has been reduced, and the energy consumption has been reduced from 9800 to 9700 points.] 】

[3. You have obtained a small portion of the panel information of the "War Spirit". The key content is: "War Spirit" is a first-order extraordinary person of the Necronomicon Sect and the Mad Faction. 】

[4. You have obtained the complete "Spell Blueprint: Death Technique". The spell panel is as follows:]

Name: Death Technique

Type: Death magic

【Level】Level 1

【Effect】

The spell of forcibly enslaving the dead, the spell of the dead in bondage.

Consumes 1 Energy and 0.1 Soul Power to forcibly enslave 1 dead to fight for you.

This spell lasts for 1 energy every 10 minutes.

【Description】

1. The level of this skill is level 1, and you can only forcibly enslave 1 deceased.

2. The higher the life level of the deceased, the greater the probability of failure of this skill. As it stands, you can achieve a 100% success rate when forcibly enslaving the dead at the normal life level.

3. When enslaving the target dies, the soul power you invested will not be returned.

…

Li Nuo sat in the corner of the wall to rest, his mind swept over the system message, and clenched his fists excitedly.

"Death Technique"!

The spell to summon undead creatures on the spot is finally here!

Li Nuo tried to calm down, compared the "Death Technique" and the Undead Summoning Circle, and soon discovered the difference between the two spells.

"Death" is more suitable for skirmishes. It consumes a lot of energy and soul strength, but it can be used locally, and there is no need to prepare dominoes, bones, bone meal, and other spell casting materials.

Because of the local materials, the summoner cannot decide the strength of the deceased, and can only use what remains to use, and cannot use good bones, bone meal and dominoes to customize their own summons.

In comparison, the Undead Summoning Circle is "cumbersome".

To summon the undead with a summoning circle, three conditions need to be met:

1. Ritual materials.

Summoning necromantic constructs requires dominoes, bones, and bone meal. Summon stitched undead require rotten flesh and tainted blood.

2. Circle Energy.

The circle requires a constant input of energy from the caster, and can also be channeled by placing magic ores.

3. Pattern of the magic circle.

The logic of the circle and the route of the energy are all included in the pattern of the circle.

Only when the above three conditions are met can the summoning circle take effect.

From this point of view, the summoning circle is more like a magical facility.

It only costs a sum of energy when the circle is activated, with no additional energy overhead, making it ideal for summoning the undead in large quantities.

Since the summoning circle cannot be easily moved, the undead it summons are more suitable for stationing in a fixed location rather than following its master around.

If the "Death Spell" is a battle spell, then the Undead Summoning Circle is a spell that exists specifically for siege and defense.

Anyway, Li Nuo finally got his hands on both undead summoning spells!

Continue to the next system message.

[Your completion of deconstruction of the "Life Guard" has increased from 0% to 12%. 】

[The result of the deconstruction is as follows:]

[1. Necromantic Rune Literature Skill Experience Increase, from Level 2 to Level 3.] 】

[2. The energy consumption of harmless deconstruction of the Ten Commandments of Martyrdom has decreased from 9700 to 9600.] 】

[3. You have obtained the mutilated Magic Item Blueprint: Necromantic Outpost Commander's Life Guard.] 】

Li Nuo clicked on the blueprint of the magic props that had just arrived, and quickly glanced at it, feeling deeply satisfied.

Although this drawing is mutilated and incomplete, its value cannot be overlooked.

All because the name of the drawing has a prefix:

The "Necro Outpost Commander's" life guard.

The key lies in the words "Necromantic Outpost Commander".

The blueprint not only shows how to make a normal life guard, but also records how to build the outpost's watchtower and necromantic battery.

According to the contents of the drawings, Li Nuo can not only build an ordinary life guard like Shi Weng, but also have a guard tower that can shoot out death energy beams.

The gold content of this drawing is absolutely leveraged and worthy of praise.

Li Nuo put it aside for the time being, and will study it in depth when he has the opportunity later.

This is followed by the third deconstruction result.

[Your completion of the deconstruction of the "Magic Shield" has increased from 11.8% to 21.8%]

[You get the following deconstruction result:]

[1. The energy consumption of harmless deconstruction of "The Ten Commandments of Martyrdom" has been reduced from 9600 to 8600 points. 】

[2. Your progress in deconstructing the "Magic Shield" has broken through the integer barrier of 20%!] 】

[You have obtained a complete Spell Blueprint: Magic Shield!] 】

Magic Shield! I've deconstructed the magic shield! … Li Nuo's heart trembled, and joy burst out in his eyes.

As a veteran gamer, he knows exactly what this skill means.

What is it that is giving the Imperial army a headache?

Magic shield.

What can block physical attacks in the form of energy, not afraid of fire, not afraid of flooding, not afraid of electric shock?

Magic Shield!

What is the standard configuration of the Wizard, the nemesis of the Physics Combatant, which can make the Wizard resist the enemy's burst output without dying?

Or a magic shield!

Magic shields are used to protect buildings.

The "Magic Shield" is a minimalist version of the Magic Shield, designed to protect the caster itself.

The "Magic Shield" is a subordinate spell to the Magic Shield, but it is definitely enough for an individual.

Li Nuo took a deep breath, forcibly calmed down, and clicked to view the spell panel.

…

Name: Magic Shield

Type: General magic

The specific type of spell depends on what kind of energy you use to cast the shield

【Level】Level 1

【Effect】

Consumes any kind of magic energy to condense a magic shield that blocks damage.

There is only one type of energy that you currently have in your hands – soul energy.

Therefore, you can only summon the "Body Shield".

The "Body Protector" has excellent adaptability and can withstand all types of damage, but the consumption of soul strength is very high.

Consumes 0.1 Soul Power and 1 Stamina to summon a shield with 10 Strength, negating any type of damage.

【Description】

1 shield strength, which can resist 1 damage up to 2000 joules. There is no limit to the type of damage, including kinetic energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic energy, explosion, disintegration, cracking, penetration, etc.

…

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief as he faced the detailed spell panel.

From now on, he won't have to be particularly afraid of bullets.

The system doesn't lie.

The data presented on the spell panel is absolutely authentic and reliable.

The "Magic Shield" is bound to block bullets and "death pulses".

This undoubtedly greatly guaranteed his personal life, and also added a solid insurance policy to his plan to escape from suffering.

This wave of passive deconstruction, blood earns!

If you think about it carefully, it seems that playing a group or a tail knife is the correct posture of passive deconstruction. Li Nuo's eyes flickered in thought, as if he had discovered a new continent.
