95. Wait for Sha
"Kaisha, hear me clearly."
Captain Kawa ignored the other party's fragmented thoughts, and said in a muffled voice:
"You still have many opportunities for promotion in the future, don't let recklessness and impatience ruin your future. As long as Murfia is studying necromantic runes, you can always get her hands on it. That sinner soldier No. 888, if he dies, he dies. There will also be Sin Soldier No. 666, Sin Soldier No. 777 popping up. Do you understand? β
"Yes, sir." Kai'Sa nodded.
Captain Kawa turned his head to look at the menacing metal skeleton, grabbed his large-caliber revolver, and fired a bee's jelly bullet at the metal skeleton.
The bullet slammed into the metal skeleton's skull, exploding a jet-black biochemical bee jelly, interrupting the metal skeleton's "Death Pulse" spell casting, but did not deal any substantial damage.
Whether it is a high-speed whirling warhead or a biochemical bee jelly, it is blocked by the metal plating on the surface of the metal skull, which at most makes the skull of the big skull tilt backwards.
The skeleton soldiers and skeleton dogs, which were covered in metal coating, also showed amazing defensive power.
Imperial soldiers must shoot the same skeleton continuously with a light machine gun for nearly three seconds before they can deliver a bullet filled with biochemical bee jelly into the opponent's body, which can cause effective damage.
"What a troublesome opponent. I didn't expect it to be the iron lumps of the brutal faction to stop us from carrying ancient relics. β
Captain Kawa complained impatiently.
He used his revolver to stop the metal skeleton from casting a spell, and said to Sergeant Kai'Sa beside him:
"The Kolabo Legion is about to fall. We need to move faster, and we must not let the ancient artifacts that carry the real history fall into the hands of the undead. If the Cult of Necronomicon had these artifacts, they would have more memories and they would be more powerful... Kaisha, how many things are left in the antiquities vault that haven't been removed? β
Li Nuo frowned slightly.
The Necronomicon cultivates "spirit" by deriving detachment from memory.
The more memories you have, the more "spirit" you can improve.
So for the monks and monks of the Necronomicon, memory is equal to "spirit".
Cavado said that the artifacts should not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Necromantic Sect, as it would cause them to "recall" more memories and thus increase their strength.
Li Nuo could basically understand the meaning of this sentence, but there were two things that struck him strangely.
First:
What do you mean by ancient artifacts that carry real history?
Is all the knowledge of ancient history taught in City College fake?
Second:
Why do ancient artifacts help the undead recall more memories?
Ancient artifacts are associated with the ancient Tatis dynasty.
Theoretically, they could only be used to awaken the memories of the people of the ancient Tatis dynasty, right?
According to Cavado, there should be quite a few members of the Necronomicon Sect, who were originally humans from the ancient dynastic period.
That's interesting.
The war between the Necronomicon Sect and the Tatis Empire actually involved the grievances and hatred of the change of the old and new dynasties.
Li Nuo thought to himself, carefully pondering Cavado's words while continuing to listen to the conversation between the two of them.
"Sir, there is still a third of the ancient artifacts that have not been loaded into the car. The main ones are life-size terracotta figurines that are not easy to remove, fragile and heavy stones, and antique bookcases containing ancient books. Kai'Sa said.
After a moment's thought, Captain Kava ordered:
"Kaisha, I order you to burn ancient books and antique bookcases on the spot, smash terracotta figurines and stones, and blow up the antiquities vault with explosives. We can't afford to delay here, but we can't leave anything for the undead. Do you understand? Just go. β
"Yes, sir." Kai'Sa raised her hand in salute.
She ordered a few of her men and told them to go to the car to get fuel and bombs.
The undead behind the command of the metal skeleton seem to have heard the conversation between the two, and may have judged something from the way the humans behaved.
Anyway, after Kai'Sa enters the hole leading to the underground vault with the bomb and fuel canister, the metal skeleton's attack becomes fierce.
Captain Kava had to transform into the "Fist of the Empire" in a roar.
A tempered exoskeleton appeared on his body, and his defense was greatly increased, which was similar to that of Lieutenant Slack's "Molten Steel Giant".
A twin light machine gun protruded from his abdomen, and his left and right hands each turned into a light machine gun with a muzzle spitting flames.
He activated his arms in his abdomen and hands during the roar, raining bee jelly bullets at his enemies.
"Duplex" is to assemble two guns into one piece for use, multiplying the rate of fire and firepower.
At the end of the day, four light machine guns capable of piercing steel plates appeared at the scene, and all of the bullets fired were beeselly bullets specifically aimed at necromantic structures.
The firepower intensity of MI2 is instantly increased by several orders of magnitude.
The metal skeleton became as fragile as paper, falling in pieces under the devastating onslaught of four machine guns.
The metal skeleton became the first target of Cavado's attack. A dense barrage of bullets landed on the big skeleton's chest, piercing it entirety in less than half a second.
The big skeleton had to use the metal skeleton next to him as an aggregate supply, grabbing the other party and stuffing it into his chest.
The metal-coated bones melt like blocks of wax, filling the gaps in the metal skeleton's chest and quickly repairing the injuries.
But that didn't help.
Captain Kava poured out his firepower as if he had an endless stockpile of ammunition. And the barrels of those machine guns, as if they do not heat up, are always in a state of high-speed fire.
The rain of bullets continued until Kai'Sa returned from underground.
Kai'Sa shouted against the sound of a light machine gun:
"Sir! All the ancient relics that I didn't have time to move away have been destroyed by me! The passage to the artifact vault has also been blown up by us! Let's get out of here! β
"Good! β¦ Everyone obeys the order and leaves the underground river! I'm here to cover your evacuation! Hurry up, hurry up! Don't grind! β
Captain Kava yelled and ordered.
As he grew larger, his voice became louder.
The soldiers present heard the voice of the commander and hurriedly raised their light machine guns and bomb launchers and evacuated towards the hole in the underground passage.
Captain Kava pressed at the back of the line, slowing the enemy's pursuit with light machine guns.
When the soldiers around him withdrew into the underground passage, he lifted his transformation and turned into human form, running into the narrow hole with his back in disarray.
Cavado was followed by a long line of metal skeletons, at least three hundred, and a large number of swift skeleton dogs.
The large metal skeletons are too large to fit into human-only holes.
But the big metal skeleton in front of you is different.
It even asked its men to take their bones apart and let them chase after Carvado with their leg bones, ribs, spine and skull...
After such a large group of undead with metal coating were gone, there was no one else or undead on the scene except for Li Nuo.
Li Nuo walked lightly and walked out from behind the boulder where he was hiding.
He listened carefully to the sounds, and there was no movement except the sound of gurgling water.
Li Nuo moved slowly, leaning towards the hole in the artifact vault.
He used deconstruction to open the way, and after making sure it was safe, he followed the rotating downward passage to the door of the vault, which had been destroyed by the bomb.
It's a pile of ruins.
The messy stones filled the entire tunnel, sealing off the way, leaving no gaps for Li Nuo.
Li Nuo tried to move some rocks, but caused a series of stones to slip, and he had to abandon his plan to dig the tunnel manually.
"It seems that I have no way of knowing what the so-called real history is... It's a pity. β
Li Nuo shook his head slightly, and was about to turn to leave, but he felt a strange noise under his feet.
"Click..."
It was as if a piece of stone had been crushed by him.
Li Nuo crouched down and picked up the torn stone chips.
Touching the outwardly raised patterns on the stone chips, Li Nuo cast a deconstruction technique.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct "a fragment of an ancient artifact.] γ
[Based on your knowledge and skills, the amount of energy required to deconstruct this item has been reduced to 1.] γ
[Do you confirm deconstruction?] γ
"A fragment of an ancient artifact..."
Li Nuo muttered, crouched down again, and groped the ground nearby.
It may be that the soldiers accidentally smashed an ancient artifact when they were carrying an ancient artifact.
Li Nuo searched and found more than a dozen stone chips with different appearances.
Put them together, and you can barely make out the shape of a big-bellied stone.
Li Nuo returned to the underground river, opened his backpack, took out the coal lamp, went to the back of the boulder where he was hiding, lit the lamp, and carefully looked at the ancient stone in his hand.
Judging from his knowledge of ancient history, this finely carved ancient artifact is good, and it should be a product of the end of the ancient dynasty of Tatis.
Li Nuo knew that time was of the essence, and he had no time to work on archaeology, so he directly aimed at the stone chips that were put together and threw out the deconstruction.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct a "broken ancient stone."] γ
[Based on your knowledge and skills, the amount of energy required to deconstruct this object has been reduced to 5.] γ
[Do you confirm deconstruction?] γ
Li Nuo saw that the energy consumption was not large, so he immediately silently recited "Confirm Deconstruction".
[Your completion of deconstruction of "Broken Ancient Stone" has increased from 0% to 100.] γ
[You get the following deconstruction result:]
[1. Archaeology level +1, increased to level 9.] γ
[2. You have obtained the basic information of this artifact:]
[The history of this ancient artifact dates back 120 years. Corresponds to the end of the ancient Tatis dynasty, the reign of Zulsa III. Zursa III was the last king of the ancient Tatis dynasty. γ
[The carvings on the surface of the ancient stone Weng show that:]
[Zulsa III's Imperial Knight DΓΌrr, in the Spring Plains, known as the "Land of Plenty", found a large amount of mysterious blood. According to Doerr, this blood accumulates on the low-lying plains, forming a lake. The surface of the lake is golden like ears of wheat, and the water is as sweet as fruit wine, and it has a delicate taste like a girl's skin. γ
[According to Dur's observations, this mysterious and noble blood comes from a huge figure hanging over the Spring Plains. Every three to five days, fresh blood slides from the figure's body and plunges into the lake directly below. γ
[Just as Dur was reporting this to Zulsa III, new news came from the Spring Plains. Some say figures in the sky fell into the lake of blood below, flooding vast swaths of farmland and displacing many farmers who depend on farming for their livelihoods.
[Zursa III orders Durr to confirm this news.] A month later, Durr sent an urgent letter confirming the truth and asking Zulsa III to mobilize forces to suppress the rebels who were revolting near the Blood Lake. γ
[In order to record this important event, Zursa III ordered the production of a batch of stone Weng that is not easy to be eroded by time, and presented the general course of the incident on the stone Weng in the form of carvings. γ
Li Nuo exhaled slowly, his heart fluctuating.
If the carved content on this antique stone is true, then his previous guess is likely to be correct.
The Dusk Giant is not an illusion, it did appear in history, and it took place at the end of the ancient Titis dynasty.
It can even be said that it was its fall from the sky that led to the fall of the ancient dynasty and the emergence of a new empire.
Li Nuo turned off the coal lamp and recalled historical knowledge in the dark, eager to find more clues.
First of all, in the history of the ancient Tatis dynasty, which is taught by the City Academy, there is indeed a place called the "Spring Plains".
Judging from the geographical map of the empire today, the so-called "Spring Plains" is the junction of suffering where Li Nuo is currently located.
It was the most prosperous and wealthy place in the ancient dynasties, with many fertile fields, fertile land and dense population.
Not only the living love it, but the dead too.
The tombs of the nobles and royal families of the ancient dynasties were also chosen in this prosperous and beautiful place.
Now that you think about it, a lot of things come together.
The enmity between the emperor himself and the Necronomisis has existed since ancient times.
It is a chain of hatred that spans hundreds of years, including the tragic deaths of relatives and friends and the tragic suffering of countless civilians.
Li Nuo is so firm because of the word "rebel" mentioned on the stone carving.
During the reign of Zursa III, at the end of the ancient dynasty, there were only the armies of the modern emperor Tatis I who could be called "rebels".
It is estimated that the modern emperor began to lead his troops to surround the blood lake and occupy the body of the Dusk Giant.
The modern imperial army at that time was not strong, and it was quickly driven away by the army assembled by Zursa III. He could only take the most important things from the Twilight Giant, leaving the giant's body to Zulsa III.
This explains why the Emperor holds the "Twilight Dream" and the Necronomicon has a large amount of "Vitality Surge". The "dream" is obviously much easier to carry than the body of a giant.
As for the humans of the ancient dynasty, why did they become undead and build a necromantic sect.
Li Nuo also had the answer in his heart.
Don't forget, the Dusk Giant is suspended in the air by black tentacles.
The humans of the ancient dynasty were probably polluted by the black tentacles, which degenerated into the undead and went to the opposite side of the camp of the living.
"There's enough time to delay, I need to move quickly."
Li Nuo skimmed off his distracting thoughts, picked up the broken stone in front of him, walked into the hole, and put it back into the tunnel of the cultural relics storage in a scattered manner.
Moving back to the vicinity of the underground river, Leno thought for a moment and decided to leave through the underground passage dug by MI2.
The reason is simple.
MI2 men apparently drove a steam locomotive underground.
If they want to drive away from the sea of undead, they must find a completely safe road in advance, otherwise the car will be destroyed and people will die.
This road may lead to MI2 strongholds, and will allow Li Nuo to step into MI2 territory.
But it doesn't matter, after leaving the sea of undead on the ground, Li Nuo has a way to sneak away from MI2.
Li Nuo checked the things he was carrying, and after making sure that he had left no clues to reveal himself, he turned on the "Track the Living" and stepped into the dimly lit underground passage.
On the black, white and gray picture in front of me, there are two very clear rut marks, which are left by the wheels of the steam locomotive.
On both sides of these two tire prints, there are also bullets from silenced rifles and many bone fragments.
It seems that even if the MI2 personnel got into the car, they still couldn't escape the attack of the metal skeleton.
The further you go, the more skeletons there are in the tunnels, most of which are left behind by the meltdown of bee syrup bombs.
A large metal skull was stuck in the crack in the wall, the skull was dull, there was no dark green soul light, and in the center of the brow was a spider's web-like crack.
It was the skull of a large metal skeleton, which had been killed by MI2 men, and the rest of its body was scattered throughout the passage.
At this point, all the necromantic structures pursuing MI2 have died under the gunfire.
It seems that as long as they are willing to put in ammunition, these skeletons covered in metal coating will still be wiped out like paper paste.
Along the way, Li Nuo didn't encounter a single "living" skeleton, and he also fished out a sum of soul crumbs for nothing.
White prostitution makes people happy, but Li Nuo can't laugh at this time.
As soon as the skeleton died, only the members of MI2 were waiting for him.
Li Nuo was full of vigilance and tried to slow down his steps.
He walked silently as he threw out the deconstruction, using the feedback from the system to find his way to avoid MI2 laying a disgusting trap.
This state of groping in the darkness lasted for about 20 minutes, and after a faint light appeared at the end of the tunnel.
Listen carefully.
The noisy voices of people and the engines of steam locomotives burrowed into the tunnels with the night wind.
The lights at the end of the tunnel flickered and flickered, and people kept passing by the coal lamps.
Li Nuo slowly approached the ground and stopped only 20 meters from the entrance of the cave.
At this distance, he was able to see through to the ground with "Tracking the Living".
β1οΌ2οΌ3οΌ4β¦ There are at least 20 MI2 members in front of me. It was as if they were moving supplies from the building onto a steam locomotive. Is this preparing to slip away? β
Li Nuo did not dare to act rashly.
He hid himself in the shadows to avoid being illuminated by the flickering light.
After waiting quietly for a while, there was a whistle outside.
The soldiers from the two places who were carrying the supplies put down their belongings in unison and ran towards the source of the whistle.
In order to hear the sound clearly, Li Nuo walked forward for a distance, and then stopped again and continued to observe the scene on the ground in a perspective way.
Captain Kava is shouting orders:
"Everyone, listen. I just received news that the garrison of the Kolabo Legion fortress is organizing a breakout. We need to send a combat team back to the fort through a secret passage to provide the army there with the route map drawn by MI2 for the breakout. Now, listen to me. Command of the scene was temporarily transferred to Sergeant Kaisha. She will lead you to a safe outpost. I'll personally bring the road map to the fort garrison..."
Before Lieutenant Kava could finish speaking, Sergeant Kai'Sa shouted in a sharp voice:
"Report, sir! Let me go. I've spent the longest time in the Korabo Legion fortress, and I'm very familiar with the terrain and layout. I promise to put the road map in its entirety in the hands of the Legion Garrison Commander! β
"Kaishaβ" Captain Kava changed his tone sullenly, as if disgusted by the other party's transgression.
But to Li Nuo's surprise, Captain Kava did not reprimand Kaisha, nor did he refuse the other party's proposal.
"Alright, Kaisha, I accept your offer. You can pass on the road map in my place. But you remember that you must complete the task I gave you before you can go to the confinement cell, do you understand? β
"Yes, sir!" Kai'Sa replied loudly.
Captain Kava called a few men, and then said:
"The people I just ordered, you stayed behind to assist Sergeant Kai'Sa in his operations. All the rest, follow me to the car, get out of here, and head to the security outpost. β
"Yes, sir." The soldiers replied in unison.
Sergeant Kai'Sa couldn't wait to say to the members of the makeshift team:
"Hurry up, change into weapons and equipment, bring mutation potions and combat potions, and fill the steam locomotive with coal and water. We must return to the Legion fortress as soon as possible. β
There was a commotion on the ground.
In the underground passage, Li Nuo's figure has long disappeared.
Hey.
Kaisha, you were protected by more than 30 soldiers, and you were accompanied by a second lieutenant, I can't do anything to you.
But now, you're only left with two elite combatants.
No one will wait for you all the time, Kaisha, except for the sixth.
Li Nuo ran as fast as he could, straight into the deepest part of the underground passage.
