Chapter 14: Total Destruction
Chapter 14: Total Destruction
"Please seniors don't break the sentence again, if you continue like this, you will have a heart attack by the two of you!"
"Hug ...... I'm sorry, but I think of some unbearable images, and my head is a little stagnant...... Where did you just go? β
"Mental pollutants - what the hell is this?"
"Oh, oh, oh, the so-called mental pollutants are ......"
Trying to suppress the mustard and bad memories in his heart, the middle-aged magic guide soldier seemed to struggle to squeeze out a few words.
"A well-preserved new living body."
The concise and neat answer is full of shocking aura.
In an instant, the three fledgling young men experienced the real dark side of the government.
However, just a few words frightened the three of them, not to mention the two middle-aged demon guides who had already been implanted in their hearts by nightmares.
It is impossible to imagine how such a cruel and inhumane thing was learned.
One thing that is certain - judging from the frightened faces of the two, it is definitely not a rumor.
There was a dead silence between the five of them, a completely speechless silence.
Finally, a young wizard remembered and echoed the question of the middle-aged wizard before-
"Senior...... Did you just mean by 'dying at the hands of the battalion commander'......"
"Well, that's what you think of. After all, the government has no right to arbitrarily kidnap innocent people as a commodity to trade, and as a 'sacrifice' to satisfy the government's ambitions, it is naturally us outcasts who die. β
"No...... No way...... The battalion commander doesn't look like that kind of brutal commander, does he? β
"Don't let that put you in a state of collapse, because there's an even more terrible inside story. I have already told you that you can not believe me, but you will never spread this matter to the people. In fact, most of the people in the barracks know that we are helpless and have only a silent choice. β
"How could it be ......?"
"Finally, I'll ask you three boys - I don't care if you believe what I say, I just want to ask you if you know the truth, will you still be loyal to the government?"
"This ......"
Three pairs of immature eyes looked at each other in disbelief.
This story-like twist and turn is a real fact that is happening around us, and it is even going on now.
The three of them casually turned their blank gaze to the warehouse next to them.
Could it be that such a cruel deal is going on on right next door?
At the same time, one of the young men continued to ask, puzzled:
"But how did the seniors know about this? Looking at the expressions of the two of them, it seems that they have seen it with their own eyes, but this kind of obviously illegal transaction must be impossible for a small soldier like us to know, right? β
"I was also younger, and of course I was a rookie. At that time, I was sent to this special arms deal about ten times. But according to my observations, every six times is the most important big deal. β
"Every six times...... Is that a major transaction per year? β
"But senior, how did you know that the arms deal that day was a major annual deal?"
"It is not difficult to perceive that it has always been the government's habit to send recruits who have served for no more than two years before to be on duty. However, there will always be a few times when you need to be helped by nearly 100 veterans, which means that the transaction is very important. β
"Wait! The two seniors are very veteran veterans, and today's manpower is denser than ever......"
"That's right, today happens to be the government's annual big deal."
The three of them widened their eyes, and they couldn't believe that today was such an "important" day.
The recruits' reactions were entirely expected by the veterans.
"That's why the government only puts recruits on duty to guard the arms deal, and seeing that you don't seem to be interested in the content of the government's deal, there will naturally be no problem with information disclosure."
"But this increase in the number of guards is also because of the 'white-faced demon' in the town that caused chaos a while ago, right?"
"That's right. In other words, the C-level instructor who teaches at the St. Goethe's Magic Academy is also very tricky. Recently, the academy and the government have not agreed on their ideas, and there will definitely be a lot of conflict between the two forces, so I don't know when they will fight that C-level mentor......"
"C-level tutor...... Is the senior referring to the weird man named 'Fortes'? β
With a vague memory, the recruit dismissively pieced together the name of Fortes.
It can be seen from the frivolous tone of the trio that they are very unafraid of the threat of Fortes.
Even treat him as a joke.
However, the two middle-aged demon dao soldiers did not have the frivolity of the three at all.
Instead, he looked even more frightened than when he mentioned the white-faced demon.
"You'd better not treat that C-class mentor as an ordinary person, not only did he personally knock out Lord Dearcott, but it was even rumored a while ago that he had completely annihilated the third detachment by himself, and only Captain Moriela survived."
"But Captain Mauriella should have been removed from his position as well, right? No matter how strong the other party is, the absurd fact of losing to a C-level mentor will become a laughing stock among the people, but it will make the barracks lose face. β
"I advise you not to underestimate Moriella - only veterans like us know how powerful he is, he used to be an excellent student of the Magic Wizard Academy, and he is also a master of annihilating large-scale mid-level monsters with his own hands."
"Senior, don't speak for Mauriella, now he's a joke in the barracks, and no one will believe you to make such exaggerated boasts! Hahahaha-"
The three lads laughed disapprovingly, really not taking Mauriella in the slightest.
In fact, it is not only these three people, any new rookie soldiers are amused by the former captain.
In the face of Tong Yan's ridicule, the two were really helpless.
Even if you scold the two of them now, it won't help-
The fact of defeat is still standing still, but Moriella's reputation is shaky, and the young rookies will never understand that the captain who lost to the C-class mentor was once a legend who almost defeated General Dearcott in a heads-up match.
As the two who have also fought against Deercott, how big will the difference in strength be?
It is useless to say more.
The two shook their heads helplessly and set off to patrol the blind spot of the Chaos Sphere.
Suddenly, one of the middle-aged magic guides seemed to have noticed an anomaly-
"Hey, hey, hey...... Look at this. β
With a panicked expression, he pulled another veteran and pointed to the crystal ball of the Chaos Sphere.
The scene in front of them really made the two of them stunned.
The huge crystal sphere that was responsible for absorbing and containing the elements was now only scattered all over the ground and leaking elements, and the large lumps of elements were as thick as slimes, evaporating in pieces and disappearing into the air.
The sophisticated eyes of the two showed bad looks-
- An intruder took advantage of the five people chatting and destroyed the Chaos Sphere!
But there was no sound of destruction, how did it happen?
The two puzzled expressions were clearly illuminated by the whiter moonlight, and it was not only the pouring elemental pools that sprinkled the entire land, but also the sixth shadow that was quietly leaving.
"Is it five minutes?"
Nervous and anxious, Mitt unconsciously asked Tlal beside him nearly a hundred times.
Although by the end of the series of questions, it became Mitter's restless self-talk.
Tlal was unusually calm.
He knew that nothing would happen to Eve.
The two of them still relied on the "hidden wind" and "smell elimination" to cover their whereabouts, and continued to huddle in the cracks of the clogged containers, waiting for Eve, who went to destroy the elemental chaos meter.
It shouldn't have been more than the five minutes Eve had set, but Mitte felt like five years had passed.
Itchy.
"Huh! Didn't the clothes say to destroy the Elemental Chaos Meter? It stands to reason that the Chaos Sphere is such a big platform, if it is destroyed, there should be a lot of commotion, right? But it was still so quiet that the guards continued to wander around as if they were unconscious. β
"I think Eve must have used some kind of trick to quietly destroy the Elemental Chaos Sphere."
"But you can't use magic to destroy, if you use magic props, there will be the problem of elemental absorption, so it seems that only physical destruction is left - but how can this kind of thing be done......?"
"Both! I am back. β
A sudden greeting suddenly came from behind the two of them.
The two looked behind them in surprise - it was Eve, who was unharmed and didn't sweat a drop.
"Eve!? Have you destroyed all the Chaos Spheres? β
"yes, all ten Chaos Instruments have been destroyed."
"You...... How did you do that? β
Mitt asked in surprise.
"It's very simple - the Chaos Sphere works by absorbing all the elements around it by 'magnetic elements', but magnetic elements can't touch air, so they need a crystal sphere to keep them in the air. In other words, if you can destroy the crystal ball that protects the magnetic elements, you can naturally evaporate the magnetic elements into the air. β
"Of course I do! The point is how do you destroy the crystal ball that protects the magnetic elements? β
"I make little use of the principle of the magnetic element - this particular supermaterial element is defective, it is only responsible for absorbing the elements, but not erasing them. To this end, I did the opposite, deliberately casting trace amounts of 'acids' to absorb them into the crystal sphere. Since the crystal ball is made of glass, the most feared thing is that the strong acid melts, so if the 'acid element' is sucked into the crystal ball, guess what will happen-"
"Since the magnetic element only 'absorbs' the acid element and does not 'erase' the acid element, the crystal sphere made of the glass for this purpose will be dissolved by the absorbed acid element!?"
Eve smiled "you got it right".
"That's it."
And this time it was Tlal who asked.
"But how did you sneak into the interference area of the Chaos Sphere without being detected? The 'Hidden Wind' and 'Β¬ Odor Elimination' attached to you should both be absorbed by the Chaos Meter, right? β
"Did you know that the absorption effect of the Chaos Meter is not instantaneous? It takes time for the so-called magic to disappear completely. The reason why I made a five-minute plan of action was actually calculated in advance, if a chaos meter were to absorb all the elements inside and outside the human body, it would take about twenty seconds. So tenβ"
"I see...... In this way, if you disarm ten chaos meters, it will only take about three minutes in total...... It's not a problem to solve it all in five minutes. β
"But although the absorption effect of the Chaos Meter is not instantaneous, the magic effect applied to you should gradually decrease, right? While the effect is weakened, aren't you afraid of the Iron Guard's discovery? β
"This is easy to do, because the port is surrounded by piles of containers, and my petite size is naturally able to hide my whereabouts with a lot of cover. Although the magic effects of invisibility diminish, it only needs to be enough for me to get close to the Chaos Sphere to destroy. β
"That's amazing...... I didn't expect you to come up with such a detailed countermeasure for this project. β
"Although I am very unhappy that you deceived Portlands, I have to say that you are indeed very powerful."
The two of them cast adoring eyes at Eve.
However, Eve modestly brushed aside the two compliments.
"Actually, I didn't plan all this carefully."
"You didn't plan it...... Could it be the Dean? β
"It's a pity that it's not the dean, I can only say that you would never think of this person."
"Wait...... I remember if Eve wasn't the controller of the water elemental? When do you with special 'acids'? β
"Yes, Mitt makes a good point."
"Actually......"
Eve slowly pulled out a miniature crystal ball resembling a chaos sphere from the pocket of her jacket.
The crystal ball was filled with a thick dark brown liquid, and the whole crystal ball seemed to be emitting white smoke that was not hot at all.
This thick, dark brown liquid is Eve's "acid" that destroys the Chaos Meter.
Mitt recognized the origin of the crystal ball on the spot.
The face was distorted with surprise.
"This is...... Preserve the elemental 'Elemental Orb'!? I remember that this is a small one that is worth a lot, where did you get it, Eve? β
"Well...... About the origin of this ball is a secret. β
"However, the function of my Elemental Orb should only be to save the element, and the commercially available Elemental Orb will not have additional elements, so the purchased Elemental Orb should be an empty ball. Where does Eve's acid come from? β
"Didn't I say that all the sources of this ball are secret! Mitter, you're really a stinky straight man, you don't care about the girl's mood of wanting to keep it a secret, and you deserve to have no girlfriend! β
Eve had a grumpy face, and at the same time carefully took the elemental orb back into her pocket.
ββ¦β¦ What does this matter about me being single? β
Mitt muttered innocently.
Tlal was overjoyed to see it.
He seemed to be waiting for Eve with a blank face, and he said that he believed Eve, but he was actually very nervous.
Seeing the two bickering energetically, it seems that Mitt has forgotten the unhappiness of being angry with Potters for the time being.
But then again, where the hell did Potters go......
Time is running out for the trio.
Choose to trust Potters and complete the current priority - digging into the government's deals.
Mitt and Tlal re-apply the new "Hidden Winds" and "Odor Elimination" to each other.
After confirming that the additional status was perfected, the three of them also quickly ran to the closed warehouse.
At the same time, news of the destruction of the Elemental Chaos Sphere spread through the army like a storm.
Now, all that was left of the ten Elemental Chaos Instruments outside the warehouse was shards of glass all over the floor, and a pool of magnetic elements that was rapidly evaporating - the herald rushed into the warehouse anxiously to report to the battalion commander.
By this time, Mauriela had lost consciousness, bound by thick hemp ropes, and placed in the back seat of the Black Snake's carriage. It is as if the condemned prisoner who is about to be beheaded has no dignity.
The hemp rope that binds Morirella is not an ordinary rope, but a special multi-layered sealing magic device.
In order to prevent the curse that Fortis had placed on Mauriella from suddenly erupting, precautions were taken against him.
The battalion commander was still talking secretly with the three people representing the Black Snake Branch, when the herald's anxious shouting interrupted the conversation between the four of them.
"Report to the battalion commander! It is suspected that an enemy has broken in and destroyed all the elemental chaos instruments in the outside world! β
"All destroyed!?"
The battalion commander looked incredulous.
This news undoubtedly alarmed the three people representing the Black Snake Branch.
The three turned their gaze to all the men around them, signaling that they should do something.
Following the instructions of the three of them, nearly a hundred Black Snake subordinates quickly left the warehouse, and searched for suspicious figures around the port in large numbers.
Because nearly a hundred black snake subordinates in charge of the light source left, the interior of the warehouse was instantly covered by darkness.
At this moment, a tiny flame burst out of the darkness - the battalion commander took out the matchbox again and lit the matchstick.
"What's going on?"
The battalion commander questioned the herald with some anger.
This is also the first time that the battalion commander has shown an angry face to the outside world, which is different from the usual image of a kind old man, and now he is even more shocking than a ghost.
The wrinkled dry face was made even deeper by the shadow of the firelight.
Describe this ghostly anger more vividly.
The herald was really frightened by Yan Chang's expression, and his legs instantly became weak and he couldn't stand up straight.
"Real...... Really...... Embrace...... I'm sorry! Ignorance...... Who is it...... Through the dead end of the container, all the ...... Some of the elemental chaos meters ...... Destruction. β
"What kind of methods did the other party use to sabotage it?"
"Yes...... Junior...... Brothers...... In the residual ...... ...... Detection of ...... on glass shards Small...... Trace amounts of acids. β
"Acid ......? Is the other party a magister who has a strong acid control? β
"I guess so...... Target. Please forgive your subordinates! The subordinates are only responsible for the herald! β
"Indeed...... You really shouldn't be angry with the heralds. β
The battalion commander suppressed the anger on his face a little, and turned to a somewhat calm review.
The herald felt an unprecedented escape from death, and immediately let down his guard.
"Thank you, Camp Commander, for your forgiveness."
"Well, if there is no other news, you can leave first."
"Yes."
The herald hurriedly kowtowed to the battalion commander, quickly stood up and turned around and walked to the door-
"Touching ββββββ!"
The sound of loud gunfire echoed through the airtight warehouse.
The herald didn't get out of the warehouse, his limp body lying on his back one step before he could walk out of the doorway.
He died tragically under the musket in the hands of the battalion commander behind him.
Pretending to be calm, he withdrew the musket in his hand to the crotch of his pants, and the battalion commander stood thoughtfully in place.
