Chapter 182: The Fall of the Archie Family [4K]

Hans looked at the note in his hand, only feeling that his IQ had been insulted, and he said a little speechlessly: "It's just nonsense, not to mention that the war on the front line is not over yet, and it is against the laws of the kingdom for Blaise to return privately."

Even if he did escape, why would he do such a dehumanizing thing? Isn't he afraid that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke will sanction him?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, this kind of plan must be very secretive, how did this guy named the Rat Caller know? I think someone is doing something. ”

I have to say that Hans's words are quite pertinent, after all, this matter does sound like a joke.

Delai knocked on the table, pulled out another piece of paper pressed under the water glass, and said: "Just today at noon, the spies we planted in the Barony of Brace sent back accurate information, Brace did return to the territory, it is not a secret, many people have seen it with their own eyes." ”

Before Ryan set out on the expedition, he realized the importance of the intelligence network, so he set out to build a simple intelligence network, which Delai is currently responsible for.

Although it is still very weak and cannot detect any important information, it can be used as a humanoid camera, and it can be known in advance if there is any trouble.

Hans looked at the information sent back by the spies, and still felt a little ridiculous.

"Besides, I also have an impression of this rat caller, do you still have an impression of the thief who stole the castle before? At that time, we turned the territory upside down, and we didn't find any trace of him.

But it was from the rat caller that the Baron was able to catch the thief. It is unknown who he is and what he is doing so, but with his strange intelligence system, the information should be more than sixty percent credible. ”

Delai said with his hands on his chest and a frown.

"And what does the Legion Elder mean?"

As soon as Hans heard Delay say this, he knew that the other party must have already had an idea in his heart, so he planned to listen to the other party's plan first, after all, Delay was the supreme military commander designated by Lane.

"I think it's better to believe what you have than what you don't have. Protecting the property of the realm and the safety of the people is the highest mission given to us by the lord. Delai's face showed a rare seriousness.

"I see what you mean, give the order." Hans stood up and said in a serious tone.

"Good. I order, from now on, to send all the men we can muster to keep a close watch on the Bress Collar and report any disturbances immediately.

All the soldiers and officers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions immediately canceled their leave and entered a state of combat readiness. He also ordered Knight Colon to lead the second battalion of soldiers to move to the near border area to garrison, and in case of crossing the border, they could attack on their own.

Inform the Archon of Hevian that each town strictly manages the entry and exit of the people, and Dorman City also needs to be put on alert, and the external voice is unified for combat readiness exercises.

And inform Mr. Canon to coordinate and manage the logistics and material mobilization ......"

One order after another was issued in an orderly manner, and Delai used his authority to the extreme, but fortunately, he also knew that there were uncertainties in this matter, so he found an excuse for "combat readiness exercises", and did not make big moves such as relocating the people.

After all, this is beyond his purview, if his judgment is correct, forget it, in case it is a false alarm, wouldn't it be a big oolong?

Hans put DeLay's order in writing for easy issuance and review by Lane at a later date, and suddenly he stopped the quill in his hand and said to Delai, "Do you want to inform Lady Kellenmann about this?" ”

Delai was about to nod, and then said: "Later, I will personally explain to Madame and visit Mr. Stirling by the way, the lord and Miss Xiyue are not here, and we are not enough in the high-end combat power level after all." ”

"And Master Liman?" Hans added.

He can be regarded as a person who woke up from his dream with a word, and when he reached their level, he naturally knew about Liman's existence, although he didn't know what the other party was specifically studying, but he knew that the crystal bomb and the thousand machine crossbow were all from Liman's hand.

In the current situation, they really need to be at peace with their bodies and minds.

"I'll go to visit Madame first, and then I'll see Master Liman...... Well, I hope to see him. ”

With that, the two went their separate ways, with Delai coordinating the parties and Hans carrying out the plan according to his orders.

Mrs. Kellenman is usually the master of the door, and it is only difficult to get out of the way when she attends some noble ladies' gatherings.

After hearing Delai's speculation and analysis, she simply invited Sterling to ask for his opinion.

Sterling appreciates Delai's cautiousness, and it is better to maintain this mentality than to be arrogant, and with his understanding of Ryan, the other party will definitely make the same choice as Delai when faced with this situation.

Therefore, Sterling has given maximum support to Delai, promising to be stationed at Dorman City personally.

Delai was naturally overjoyed, and at the same time felt extremely happy, to be honest, he is now a bit of a prelude, if he is replaced by another master, he is likely to get not support but suspicion now.

He is glad that he chose Ryan and chose the Black family, because the other party gave him the stage to display his talents.

This goal was achieved, and he went to the laboratory to visit Liman non-stop, he was also lucky, Liman has not had more important research recently, otherwise it would be common to not see people for ten days and a half months.

"Mr. Legion Commander, if there is anything, hurry up, I will have an experiment later." Liman looked at the sky with a frown, his tone a little impatient.

To be honest, if it weren't for Delai's identity there, coupled with Ryan's entrustment when he left, he would not have been able to see Delai at all, and it was already very face-saving to be able to listen to him here.

Delai probably also understood in his heart that he didn't dare to delay Liman's time at the moment, so he recounted the incident at a very fast speed and expressed his intention.

"It's worth coming to me for such a trivial matter?" Liman's face was a little unhappy after hearing this, in his opinion, no matter what kind of conspiracy he had, just do TM and be done.

He glanced at Delai and said impatiently: "Okay, since His Excellency the Legion Commander has been found, I just have something here that you can use, wait." ”

After saying that, he went into the laboratory, and after a while, he dragged a large wooden box out, and Liman said to himself: "There are three handles of the Thousand Machine Crossbow here, and two handles of the improved version of the Thousand Machine Crossbow."

You must know how to use the Thousand Machine Crossbow, so I won't talk about it. This Thousand Machine Repeater is my latest research result, and the method of use is similar to that of the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

However, it should be noted that the Thousand Machine Crossbow uses heavy crossbow arrows, and the repeating crossbow uses light crossbow arrows. According to my observations, most of the time the power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow is excessive, which will cause great waste.

Repeaters were created to solve this problem, and the energy they use for each activation is a standard-sized energy crystal.

The Thousand Machine Crossbow fires one heavy crossbow arrow at a time, and the repeater can fire ten light crossbow arrows at a time, although the lethality and range are greatly reduced, but the energy waste is reduced, and it is more suitable for legion combat.

Don't underestimate this light crossbow arrow, its effective range can still be maintained at 300 meters, the lethality is more than that of a bed crossbow, and the penetration is stronger, and the number of short-term firing has reached five. ”

Listening to Liman's description, Delai's eyes became brighter and brighter, the Thousand Machine Crossbow was of course a good thing, and it could threaten mid-level and high-level transcendents by surprise.

But there are also many disadvantages, such as the cost of crossbow arrows, which can only be fired three times in a row, otherwise they will be scrapped.

It is very useful in small-scale engagements and decapitations, but its role is greatly weakened in legion combat, although it is much more powerful than trebuchets, but it is not as effective as the same number of trebuchets.

But now the improved repeater has solved this problem, a two-bed crossbow with a top handle, and it is not at all a level in terms of operation and portability.

Bed crossbows often need to be operated by multiple people at the same time, and as a heavy defense facility on the city wall, it is not convenient to move, and the thousand-machine repeater crossbow does not have these shortcomings.

The only advantage of the bed crossbow over it may be the cost, although the cost of the bed crossbow is not low, compared to the crossbow is a small thing, but these are worth it in Delai's opinion.

"Thank you so much, Master Liman, I will definitely make good use of them." Delai said solemnly.

"Alright, let's get my things and hurry up." Liman waved his hand like a fly, ignored Delai, and closed the door to the laboratory.

If anyone sees this scene, their jaws will definitely drop, who is Delai? The supreme military commander of the Kanna Territory, who would dare to do this to him in the entire territory except Ryan?

Delai didn't have any dissatisfaction, Mei Zizi took the box and left, well, it's quite heavy......

Time passed, and it was finally time for Quinn's plan to kick in.

In fact, his plan is very simple, almost every county in Grimm Province has puppets that they control with "nightmares", he only needs to select a few exposed to do things.

"Nightmares" have a wide range of parasitic abilities, this ability is somewhat similar to the evil artifact [Nightmare Bell], mature "Nightmares" can differentiate into spores-like things, and the spores will become a walking corpse-like existence after the spores are lodged in the creature's mind, and will be controlled by the mother.

Although these parasitic creatures can still act according to orders, they are actually completely dead, and there is no such thing as being killed.

To kill them, either cut off or smash his head, because the head is a place for spores.

Or cut them into several large pieces and make them completely incapacitated.

Either wait for them to die out naturally, because they are already dead, so the body will gradually decay, and when they decay to a certain point, they will not be threatening, but that process will take months.

The main body of this plan is to control as many civilians as possible with spores, and then use them to do things, it is certainly impossible to expect them to do anything big, but it is no problem to cause a riot to attract the attention of the Grand Duke.

"The feast has begun, let's enjoy it." Quinn let out a wicked laugh and said to Brace, who was standing quietly behind him.

Brace seemed to be activated by his words, and his originally godless eyes instantly turned scarlet.

Black dots the size of sesame seeds "crawled" out of his ears, nostrils, and mouth, and then spread with the wind, and he was now at the highest point in the city.

So these spores spread very smoothly throughout the city, the number of spores is not large, but it is enough to parasitize thousands of people.

At this time, most people were still asleep, and the spores entered their minds from the seven orifices, turning them into puppets without a word.

In just one night, the city of nearly 10,000 people changed the sky, and nearly half of the people became "living dead".

"Let's start here." Brace said mechanically, and his scarlet eyes looked unusually weird.

"Goo......

There was a strange sound in his throat, like a drop of cold water in a pan of oil, and the whole city boiled.

The legions of the living dead began to indiscriminately attack the living around them, even their closest and most familiar people were not spared, and for a time the city was full of wails and killings.

The army, which was supposed to stop all this, did not move, because the barracks were the hardest hit area for the spore to stay, and almost all the soldiers were boarded and became the main force of the massacre.

No one knows what happened, and the relatives who were normal the day before turned into unkillable monsters overnight.

The city soon fell, and in the bloody slaughter, only a handful of people escaped with their lives to spread the horrific news.

Among them was one of Kanna's spies, who risked his life to relay the news back, giving Delay valuable time to react.

Delai immediately pushed the 2nd Battalion's garrison twenty miles to the border to intercept the legions of the living dead. The 3rd Battalion is on standby as a mobile unit, ready for this kind of war!

But what Delai didn't expect was that the legion of the living dead led by Blaise did not attack the Kana Territory at the first time, but went to the Chelt Territory of the Archie family.

This is actually very easy to explain, although the "Nightmare" occupies Blaise's body, it is an individual with a certain independent mind, and does not inherit Blaise's hatred.

It is able to choose the most suitable offensive target, and the Archie family, which is currently at the bottom of the ranks, is the most suitable breakthrough point.

As a result, thousands of legions of the living dead who were not afraid of death brazenly invaded the Chert Territory, and the Archie family, which had suffered huge losses before, had no ability to resist at all, and was defeated under the attack of the legion of the living dead, losing a large part of the territory.

Baron Archie's letters for help rained down, but it was too late, and before the letters reached the nobles of Lintonshire, the legions of the living dead invaded the city of Chelt.

After a day and a night of desperate struggle, the Celt Territory was declared to have fallen, and the surviving Lords fled in all directions.

And the Archie family, which had dominated this land for nearly two hundred years, was also destroyed in this war, and the family bloodline was cut off......
