More than half an hour has passed since the elite team breached the watchtower.

Upstream of the underground river, thousands of meters away from the Imperial Army.

The Necromantic Cargo Ship sailed from the hinterland of the Necronomicon Sect with an aura of dead silence and decay.

Carrying heavy loads, they passed over the river like iron ploughshares, sweeping the foul water to both banks.

Wherever the cargo ship passed, the river rose significantly, and the cargo on board was extremely heavy.

Composed of rotting wood and rusty iron nails, covered in dark green moss and slippery sludge, these cargo ships are as dilapidated as shipwrecks that have been sleeping at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years.

But it is such a kind of ship that seems to fall apart at any time, and it has been sailing steadily for a long time under the sound of squeaking wood deformation, and has never encountered any accidents such as water leakage, tilting, or anchoring.

There is no doubt that it is the death runes that protect them.

On the deck and cabin of the cargo ship, there are a large number of inky black sigils, which are the necromantic runes written by the Necromantic Clergy.

The undead always like to use this blasphemous power to protect their magical devices and vital facilities.

They're definitely going to be planted today.

This is because these cargo ships cannot activate the magic shield when they are sailing, otherwise the navigation of the ship will be disturbed due to the magic reaction between the river water and the protective shield.

Another reason why this fleet must be planted today is that they are completely unaware of the crisis on the shore and in the river.

The ruins of the watchtower were pushed into the underground river by the Imperial army and piled up on the riverbed, forming a barrier that jutted out of the water.

And on the shore where the poisonous fog drifts, a full 10 full squadrons lurk here.

They built a makeshift barrier with gray worm obstacles, built a fierce interception front, and supplemented them with camouflage paint to hide their tracks.

Within this front that merges with the river bank, hundreds of large-caliber gun barrels are pointed at the surface of the floating wreckage.

Li Nuo personally participated in the interception mission, and was also equipped with a light machine gun that used a biological warhead.

He didn't have that treatment.

But once he realized that the real use of deconstruction was the way to fight and grab the tail, he cheekily approached Lieutenant Slack and bluntly offered to control the light machine gun.

That's pretty much what he said to Lieutenant Slack:

Sir. I don't know when I'm going to die in the storm of death. As an imperial man, I dreamed of feeling the thrill of holding a light machine gun and firing at the roar of gunfire. Can you assign me a light machine gun and give me three privates to help me change the chain and tank.

Lieutenant Slack thought for a moment, then readily agreed.

This may have been a compromise made by Lieutenant Slack after he realized the value of Lenovo.

Li Nuo didn't think about it so much, he only thought about how to grab the tail knife in his heart.

"Everyone went into silence... Our enemies are coming. ”

Lieutenant Slack gave the order with a gesture.

The Imperial army was silent.

All the military ramparts disguised as rocks were silent.

The armies unanimously greeted the long-awaited fleet of necromancers with silence and gaze.

There was only one fatal flaw in the entire interdiction:

That's the watchtower that disappeared from the shore.

The necromantic fleet must have the route map of the underground canal on their hands.

If they found that the place where there should have been a watchtower had become an open field, they would have sounded the alarm immediately.

Don't worry about that, though.

In order to stop this necromantic fleet that would riot in the catacombs wherever it went, the Vidas army invested a large number of men, ammunition and explosives at any cost.

The moment the necromantic fleet found that the watchtower had disappeared, an overwhelming barrage of bullets and bombs had already rained on them.

"Wow~Wow~"

The river is surging, the river is rising, and the river is lapping against the bank.

Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the approaching necromantic cargo ship.

He threw out a barrage of deconstruction, sweeping all the cargo ships in his field of vision.

This fleet consisted of six ships.

The first and last ship was a battleship armed with a little magic stone with it.

The four ships sandwiched in the middle are pure cargo ships, with only ordinary undead crews and cargo on them, and no decent defensive forces.

The Tomb Corpse Soldiers are the coolies on the ship.

The Ghost Crew is the helmsman and sailor who controls the oars and masts.

The skulls hanging from the ship's side and lookout are from the hapless skeleton soldiers who act as lookouts for the ship.

Whether it is a combat ship, or a cargo ship, they have two sources of power.

One is river water.

In the windless underground space, the Necro Ship can only go down the river.

Another source of power is the huge leg bones sticking out from the bottom of the boat.

These leg bones are about 20 meters long and have 4 per cargo ship.

The leg bones stepped on the riverbed and "carried" the cargo ship, which not only speeded up the ship's sailing, but also shared the weight of the cargo, so that the cargo ship would not be crushed by mountains of dead rough stones.

What caught Li Nuo's attention the most were the necromantic clerics and necromancers standing on the battle ships.

These guys all have a strength comparable to the first-order "Imperial Fist", and they can definitely make a lot of noise when they launch a ruthless attack.

But again, there's no need to worry about their existence.

Because the Vidas army has placed a full 30 elite combatants, 6 ensigns and 1 lieutenant in the interception front.

It was an unequal battle, the Empire's side was extremely strong, and it was always in a state of concealment, not alarming the undead.

"Attention, Jarvis, the target ship we're keeping an eye on is here."

Sergeant Mars carried a chain of bullets in his hand, ready to reload Lenovo.

He pointed to the penultimate ship in the fleet.

The Imperial army will split the six ships into three.

Their first killer weapon was a mine buried under the surface of the river.

"Woo~" The leading battle ship noticed the disappearing watchtower, and a loud horn sounded on the ship.

At the same time, Lieutenant Slack raised his arm and gave the order:

"Detonate!"

The sergeants received the order from their commander and did not hesitate to press the detonator in front of them.

In an instant, more than a dozen columns of water rose from the long river that reached the ceiling.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of explosions resounded through the underground space, sending huge waves on the surface of the river.

When a mine detonates, the impact of the explosion stirs up the river, tearing the banks and pouring them onto the shore.

The speed of the river became erratic, and the riverbed was blown out of deep and shallow pits.

The huge leg bones at the bottom of the necromantic ship were not spared in the explosion.

They were pulled by the rushing river, and suddenly their legs and feet were unstable, and one accidentally stepped into the pit created by the mine, and lost its center of gravity.

These huge leg bones are connected to the cabin and move the whole body, and when the ship is pulled by the leg bones, the hull of the ship is crooked and tilted.

"Boom . . . Boom"

Several more explosions came from the underground river, but instead of the Imperial troops detonating the mines again, it was the ship that lost control and crashed into the shore.

The hull of the ship crushed the fragile river bank and fell to the ground entirely.

The clatter of hard objects tumbling in the cargo hold rang out as a large number of death stones slammed against the walls.

There were a few places where the walls were particularly fragile, and they were overwhelmed by the impact of tons of Death Rough Stone, and the vault cracked with a clatter.

Death Rough rolled out of the breaches in the walls, dumped on the riverbank, or fell into the foul water.

Such a series of earth-shattering changes all occurred in just 20 seconds.

By the time the undead creatures on the ship screamed and launched a counterattack, all six undead ships had run aground on the shore.

"Fire! Fire! Annihilate these filthy miscellaneous! ”

Lieutenant Slack screamed and took the lead in pulling the trigger of the light machine gun.

For a time, there were 270 more tongues of fire on the underground riverbank!

Every tongue of fire that spews out a torrent of bullets corresponds to a light machine gun!

Only 1 second has passed, and dense bullet holes have appeared on the hulls of all necromantic ships!

The necromantic fleet simply didn't have time to activate the magic shield!

The appearance of dense bullet holes undoubtedly destroyed the necromantic runes on the ship's cabin.

The decaying and decaying hulls of ships that should have been dismantled by the great forces of nature a long time ago have finally reached their end.

As the runes were destroyed, the rotting wood on the hull quickly withered, turning into black mud and falling into the river.

The rusty nails fell from the iron filings and sank into the bottom of the river as black gravel.

Whether it is the Death Stone, the terrifying Tomb Corpse Soldier and the Ghost Crew, all of them were pierced by the flood of bullets when the ship withered, and instantly lost their "life" and sank with the rotting hull.

Only necromantic clerics and necromantic priests with extraordinary powers can survive the catastrophe of the sinking of the ship.

However, they are all dead ends.

The Crypt Spider, a mid-level undead class that once scurried Li Nuo's head-hugging rat, only lasted three seconds from the Battery Giant's artillery before being blasted into slag by artillery fire and sinking to the bottom.

The Frost Skull Mage drew water from the river, and the filthy wall of ice around him didn't last more than two seconds.

Within 0.1 seconds of the bullet cutting through the ice wall, its skeletal body, its skull, everything about it was wiped out in the howling wind of bullets - except for the magical heart.

Astral undead creatures are immune to physical attacks, is this perk useful in this fight?

Useless!

All spirit class undead have received special "preferential treatment" from the Empire.

Dragon's Breath Bullets filled with liquid explosives, lightning bullets that erupt into lightning bolts after collision, and bee jelly bullets filled with biochemical bee jelly.

These special bullets, which are far more expensive than ordinary bullets, regardless of whether they are useful or not, are all greeted by the spirit class of the undead.

The ghost crew held out for half a second.

The ghost first mate and the captain held out for two seconds.

The wailing banshee of the cloak lasted for three seconds.

The Death Skull Mage, who wielded a scythe and wore a cloak, and was able to protect his body with a "magic shield", only lasted five seconds.

A few undead extraordinary people were lucky enough to escape the barrage, and they could not escape the hunt of the elite squad.

Lieutenant Slack's transformation into a molten steel giant exploded the heads of several mid-level undead creatures with lava rays from the furnace in his abdomen.

The artillery of the heavy artillery giant is even more invincible.

Turning this kind of high-powered cannonball, which is specially used to hit the magic shield, and using it to fight the undead extraordinary, is simply a one-shot shot.

When the last undead creature at the scene fell, the entire underground river was filled with gunsmoke and dust, and countless guns echoed in the underground space, which could not be stopped for a long time.

It's a battle of guns and guns over the dead.

On the side of the Reich, more than two hundred light machine guns, millions of rounds of conventional ammunition, hundreds of thousands of rounds of special-made ammunition, and at least 300 bee pulp bombs were invested.

The participants included 10 squadrons of the Vidas army, about 3,000 ordinary soldiers, and at least 40 extraordinary soldiers.

Is it worth it to invest so much just to intercept a fleet of necromancy?

The answer is obvious.

Well worth it!

The rough stones of death that rolled down the river bank and sank to the bottom of the river were the most direct results of the battle.

These Death Gems alone are enough to cover the cost of the battle.

Not to mention the advantage that stopping a fleet full of ore can give the legions fighting in the Blade Mountains.

No matter what the Necronomicon wanted to do in the Blade Mountains, or why the Necronomicon Sect was in such a hurry to transport a large number of Death Primordial Stones to the Blade Mountains.

Anyway, this batch of death stones, the Korabo Legion is decided!

"Everyone is acting according to the plan!"

Lieutenant Slack held a megaphone aloft and said loudly amid the excited shouts of the soldiers on the scene:

"Our battle is not over! These ores must be delivered to the Legion Fortress as soon as possible! Everybody's on orders! Clear the battlefield now! ”

Lieutenant Slack shouted several times, and finally managed to control the restless soldiers.

It's not that the soldiers were carried away by the victory and lost their discipline.

It's that the previous battle was too intense.

More than 200 light machine guns and the noise of more than 2,000 rifles did not stun the soldiers.

Anyway, Li Nuo plucked out his ears several times, and only then did he hear Lieutenant Slack's shout in the tinnitus of jingling bells.

Seriously, this battle was definitely the most enjoyable battle Li Nuo had ever experienced since he crossed over.

On top of that, attacking undead creatures with a light machine gun will also trigger passive deconstruction!

At that moment just now, Li Nuo received a piece of system message.

He plucked his ears and went to pick up the Death Rough Stone as he flipped through the system messages in his mind.

Looking carefully at the text content, Li Nuo felt a little embarrassed.

Due to the poor accuracy of the light machine gun, and the fact that Li Nuo was also operating this thing for the first time, he was so busy before, and it looked very lively and emotional, but in fact, he only grabbed two kills.

Still, that's enough!

[You used your light machine gun to inflict fatal damage on the "Crypt Spider"!] 】

[You have successfully killed a "Crypt Spider"!] 】

[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】

[Unlocked the universal panel for "Crypt Spiders.] 】

[You have recovered 1400 energy!] 】

1,400 energy!

Li Nuo has been used to poverty since he crossed over to this place of suffering, how could he have seen so much energy!

And that's just one of the takeaways.

[You have successfully killed a "Frost Skull Mage"!] 】

[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】

[You have obtained the "Frost Skeleton Mage" panel information.] 】

[You have recovered 1800 energy!] 】

The energy value inventory suddenly rose to 3213 points!

It's like a dream!

Li Nuo couldn't wait to pinch himself on the thigh a few times to see if he was sleepwalking.

This feeling of getting rich overnight is too illusory and ethereal.

Li Nuo took the opportunity of bending down to pick up the death stone, and took a few breaths, only then did he completely calm down and accept the fact that he had transformed into a "rich man".

He pulled up the panels of the Crypt Spider and the Death Skull Mage, and flipped them over briefly, a glint of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.

"It turns out that the extraordinary system of the Necronomicon Sect is like this..."

Li Nuo muttered to himself.

To put it simply, the extraordinary abilities of mid-level undead creatures come from precious magical materials.

In the body of the Crypt Spider, there is a magic material called "Split Heart of the Crypt Spider Mother".

The Mother Crypt is the head of the Necronomicon and the Hate Faction, and is the Sect's Bishop.

The Mother Crypt Spider will periodically take out the split heart she has conceived and give it to her clerics.

Ordinary undead creatures who receive this magical material will transform into extraordinary, wielding some of the extraordinary abilities of the mother spider from the crypt.

Similarly, the Frost Skull Mage's extraordinary abilities come from the head of a necromantic faction.

This faction is called the "Foolish Faction".

Its head is the "Frost Bone".

The Frost Bone transforms the organs of undead creatures into magical organs with a "source of frost energy".

The Frost Skull Mage's spell-casting ability comes from this magical organ.

The magic material in the eyes of the Necronomicon Sect is the mutant material in the eyes of MI3 of the Tatis Empire.

The Imperial Lieutenants who have mastered all kinds of extraordinary abilities can only use these mutant materials as medicine to gain extraordinary abilities in controllable mutations.

In the Imperial Army, this information should only be available to people of the rank of lieutenant.

Li Nuo turned off the system interface and carefully looked at the scene.

Unsurprisingly, Lieutenant Slack and his ensigns had no interest in the Death Stone.

Their attention was all on the magical materials that the necromantic crew had exploded.

The smile on the corner of their mouths, no matter how they concealed it, was still keenly noticed by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced around, his gaze locked on a cold, wanton magical heart.

He threw out the deconstruction, read the feedback for a moment, and shook his head regretfully.

This magical heart does bring the extraordinary abilities of the Frost type.

It sounds beautiful, but it's dangerous.

Similar to the situation of deconstructing the Ten Commandments of Martyrdom, the system provides two deconstruction methods: conventional deconstruction and harmless deconstruction.

Conventional deconstruction of the magical heart will be contaminated with the spiritual pollution of the Necronomicon Sect, distorting one's heart and mind.

Harmless deconstruction can avoid this negative effect, but it requires more than 30,000 energy points...

Li Nuo looked at the captains on the scene again, his eyes narrowed slightly.

There is no corruption and depravity in these lieutenants.

It seems that MI3 has not eaten for nothing all these years and has found a way to solve the negative effects of mutant materials.

Among them, huge human, financial, and material resources must be invested, and it is not impossible that some people will die because of this.

If MI3 and the Imperial Emperor were to know that it would only cost 30,000 energy to deconstruct the core system, they would be able to access their decades of research...

Then they must be crazy about deconstructing the core system.

On the one hand, it is a long period of painstaking research, and on the other hand, it is simply a matter of energy investment, and in comparison with the two points, the awesomeness of deconstructing the core system is undoubtedly prominent.

Li Nuo is now completely aware of how great the power of deconstructing the core system is in research.

It is comparable to the existence of a researcher in a country.

…

"How should I spend the more than 3,200 energy in my hands?"

Li Nuo picked up the death stone with his head bored, and silently calculated how to consume his energy value.

Theoretically, he has two good ways to expend his energy.

The first way to spend money is to upgrade your existing skills.

"Death", "Magic Shield", "Dread".

One attack, one defense, one control.

These three skills are directly related to personal combat power, and the priority of upgrading is high. Put your energy into these three skills, and you will definitely not lose.

The second way to consume is to harmlessly deconstruct the Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline, and gain more extraordinary knowledge and spells of death.

3000 energy points are smashed, and there must be a dizzying amount of things that can be deconstructed.

But the exact benefits are hard to predict.

There may be a situation of "more than you can chew":

Deconstruct a lot of things that are temporarily useless, such as "The Art of Death".

It may also be a situation of "more skills but not pressure":

At once, he provided Li Nuo with a lot of death-type spells, and stuffed his list of spells to the brim.

In either case, it is a bit too focused on long-term interests and ignores the short-term improvement of combat power.

Li Nuo thought about it and came to a conclusion.

First, upgrade all the skills that need to be upgraded.

When the cost performance of upgrading skills is reduced, go to harmlessly deconstruct the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline".

Li Nuo brought up his personal panel and focused on the spell entry.

He was just about to upgrade his skills when a sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Li Nuo temporarily suppressed the upgrade operation in his mind and turned to look over.

But I saw Sergeant Mars running over with a little anxiety, holding a brass whistle in his hand.

"Jarvis, follow me." Sergeant Mars's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice:

"Captain Murphy needs your help, it's urgent."

"Alright, lead the way, sir."

The two trotted all the way forward.

The guards under Lieutenant Slack, who got the news in advance, did not stop them from leaving.

Far from the shore, near the underpass, Mars stopped and saluted into the darkness.

A slender figure emerges from the shadows.

It was Captain Murphy, who was holding the metal box in her hand where the "Bone Wand" was kept.

"Mars, you go back first and continue to follow Lieutenant Slack on his mission. Jarvis, you stay. ”

"Yes, sir." Mars turned and ran away.

Only Li Nuo and Murphy were left at the scene.

"Report to you, sir, what do you need me to do?" Li Nuo raised his hand in salute.

Murphy beckoned to him, motioning for him to follow.

The two walked some distance away from the army, and finally stopped in the darkness where no one noticed.

Captain Murphy wore a hood on his head, covering his face with a mask and hanging hair, and he still looked cold.

But there was some unexpected anxiety in her words:

"Jarvis, help me remove the magic shield that protects my wand. MI2 men have been tracking the breath of the magic shield. I've got to get this out of the way as soon as possible, or they'll catch up sooner or later!" ”

Call.. Well, you're coming to me for help again..

Li Nuo froze and nodded.

"Okay, sir, I'll give it my all."
