Chapter 354: Running in the Sunset
Major General Ulysses is the most traditional soldier and the one who best fits the meaning of the word "soldier".
In the Imperial recruitment brochure, there is a slogan such as 'Dedicate your life to the battlefield', of course, this slogan only symbolizes the spirit of the Imperial soldiers who are not afraid of death.
But there has never been a person who, like Major General Ulysses, has truly done ——— dedication.
When he was healthy, he was on the front line in every battle, wearing heavy war armor, and fighting the most brutal close-quarters in the most brutal areas, because that was his favorite way of fighting, and he was also the most ferocious person in the entire blood war group, until a broken bone was inserted into his lung lobe, so that he could no longer run for a long time.
It stands to reason that this kind of soldier who cannot fight for a long time and with high intensity can apply for early discharge, but he did not do so, but began to drive heavy armored rush vehicles, as well as mobile batteries, to suppress fire in the war zone.
A few years later, during a major battle, he broke a leg and could no longer control a chariot.
In fact, at this time, he had already achieved fame, his record was enough to be spurred by the commanders of the war zone to spur recruits into the army, and he also had enough glory to leave this cruel front line, but he refused again, after that, he forced himself to start learning battle situation analysis at the age of nearly 40, as well as the control of long-range artillery, and soon, he became the most prestigious gunner and a front-line commander in the entire front.
After many years, when his vision was blocked due to light spot lesions, and he could only focus on a small area at the front of his pupil, he was not capable of large-scale fire bombardment, so he resolutely stepped back from the gunner's position and began to train his long-range sniping ability, using only that narrow field of vision to snipe demons.
Before he knew it, he had trained himself to become an ace in the sniper team, and at that time, he was 51 years old.
From a brave soldier with no ambition to a lame man who could only carry a spear and listen to the scout's report on the battlefield to direct the battle, Ulysses's whole life was sprinkled in this ice and snow.
But he still didn't have any intention of leaving the battlefield, because he was still useful, at least his eyes could still see the target, and in the eyepiece of the sniper rifle, he only needed to see the target, which was good.
The bullet has been pushed into the chamber of the gun, this is a special bullet, because in the bullet, it is not only gunpowder that is wrapped, but also a concentrated demon sedative provided by the Life Science Institute, as long as the dose is very small, after entering the demon's body, it can exert a very strong effect, even if it is a third-order great demon, it will obediently sleep in the past within ten seconds, but the concentration process is not mature, so the cost is expensive, on the front line, maybe only this veteran will use this bullet, and the annual ammunition cooperates, It can also be regarded as the military's respect for this legendary veteran.
in a word
At this moment, the reef high in the snowfield moved, and the muzzle of his gun deflected rapidly, and the sweeping figure that even the scout could barely capture with a wide-angle sight scope was reflected in the narrow eyepiece in an instant, and the next second, the bullet was directly discharged.
There is no long-term aiming in the whole process, and there is no calculation of speed, distance, environmental occlusion, etc., it is as fast as an extremely sloppy blind shot, but the bullet has crossed the cold wind in the mountains for hundreds of meters in a very strange way, and the streamlined design allows it to rotate continuously in the process of speeding, without driving a little wind pressure, and without making any sound, like a ghost, accurately shooting into the crimson shoulder.
A gun full of frost and snow, but it was developed 8 years ago, the Imperial Machinery Institute spent a huge amount of financial resources and technology, and was originally intended to be put into the battlefield as an iterative weapon, its power and utility are extremely terrifying, otherwise it is impossible to make a bullet full of liquid show such a terrible speed, but it will not disintegrate in mid-air, but its cost is also equally terrifying, from the perspective of resource cost performance, this thing is simply impossible to put into production. So over the years, only this one has been produced.
Then this situation is extremely subtle.
Combined with a firearm produced by the most powerful manufacturing industry in the entire empire, a bullet obtained by condensing the most advanced bioengineering concepts of the entire empire, faced with the bombing and encirclement of the most ferocious firepower of the entire frontline, and faced with the sudden cold arrow of the most persistent and powerful soldier on the battlefield.
Although no one would really deliberately let this happen, at this moment, Sherlock really withstood the powerful blow that the entire empire showed in various fields.
Then this blow will inevitably have its desired effect.
In an instant, the concentrated demonic tranquilizer spread directly in the body of this third-order great demon, and the blood flowing at high speed irrigated the whole body in a few seconds, and at this point, Sherlock had just completed an incredible horizontal movement, and suddenly felt that an incomparably terrifying vertigo erupted from the depths of his consciousness, making his body stagger.
[Crimson] is different from those small demons that are casually occupied by tentacles in hell, in order to control this big guy, Sherlock has been sleepless for dozens of days and nights, using soul visual devices to repeatedly match it, and using his own tentacles to replace the nerves of his whole body, it can be said that the current [Crimson] is dozens of times more closely connected with Sherlock than his other control demons.
So this feeling was extremely familiar to him, and every time Crimson crawled out of the demonic tranquilizer, he would be a little dizzy, a little sleepy, and his reaction speed would drop for a few minutes; Hearing, perception, sight, and other senses can be blurred.
However, after getting rid of the demonic sedative, this feeling will quickly dissipate.
But this time it was a little different, because this drowsy feedback seemed to come directly from inside Crimson's body, from its blood.
At this thought, Sherlock almost instantly thought of something, and he looked sideways at the veteran on the plateau in the distance amid the hail of bullets, and his strong body also provided him with a vision far beyond ordinary people, and he also happened to see Major General Ulysses put down the strangely shaped spear in his hand. For a moment, he not only felt a little like laughing:
"Heh, you really look up to me."
In fact, this is no longer a matter of looking down on it, because in the past few minutes just now, he has really shocked too many people, and caused absolute anger in the hearts of too many people, so he is really not wronged when he is shot by this shot.
With the spread of the demonic sedative, Sherlock found that his vision began to become more and more blurry due to feedback, and those lights and shadows rippled in front of him like paint thrown into water, turning into a dazzling but chaotic spot of light, and his hearing gradually dissipated, and the smell of gunpowder around him soon became unsmellable.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised, what kind of potion was this, so powerful?
On the snowy plateau, Major General Ulysses slowly raised the big gun, and there was no need to observe the reaction of the demon below, because he knew that he must have been shot, so at this moment, this battle with some small waves has ended, and it is estimated that in more than ten seconds, the demon will completely faint, and even with it, its contractor will also be counterattacked.
But at this moment.
"Captain."
The scout on the side suddenly had some doubts, because he saw an extremely strange picture and didn't know whether to report it or not.
"What's wrong?" Major General Julius asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that the guy below seems to have lit a cigarette. ”
“??”
Sherlock lit a cigarette.
Surrounded by a dense stream of bullets, terrible artillery fire, a steel chariot that was approaching in the distance and was about to surround him, he lit a cigarette at this time, naturally not to pretend to be cool.
It's that he needs to be sober.
The blues are the most refreshing.
When the fatal pungency entered the lobes of his lungs, Sherlock only felt that his chest cavity was like countless hot knives cutting through the airway, this kind of ordinary people could not resist at all, and the cruel touch that was enough to cause tracheal spasm made him find a trace of clarity in the chaos, and the familiar scorching heat rushed straight to his brain, and there was a moment of fierce collision with the dizziness in his consciousness.
Sherlock's eyes bloomed with a glimmer of hard-won brilliance.
Although it is still a little difficult to hear, some to see, and a little unable to keep up with the movements, it is enough for the time being.
So at this moment, the veterans who were waiting for the end of the battle in the distance suddenly fell into a collective silence, looking at the demon below that should have fallen to the ground, they were all shocked and speechless, just like the captain who followed him, and turned into a reef in the waves in an instant.
They saw that the mobile heavy artillery below had entered the range of fire, and those huge clusters of light that were straight and steaming flaming frantically blasted towards the third-order great demon, and the explosion sound still shook people's ear drums from such a distance, and those bright red and bloody deflagration bombs were like small mushrooms rising in the snow, and then exploded into crazy and wanton storm clouds in mid-air.
And in the midst of these clouds, the demon that was supposed to fall jumped up. did not advance but retreated, but faced the artillery fire, roared through the dust and bullet rain, and took the initiative to smash towards the encirclement!
In the sky, a magnificent arc of red and white was drawn, like a meteor steaming with mist, smashing into the dozen or so huge war chariots on the side of the encirclement.
According to the momentum of the encirclement, this should be a dead end, a wall, under the terrifying baptism of artillery fire, it is too late to dodge, how dare you take the initiative to rush in?
However, from the theory of 'between two points, the shortest line segment', if you smash this wall through, you will be followed by a vast sunset and a vast expanse.
But more than a dozen war vehicles, but the other party is just a demon, no artillery fire, no weapons, only flesh and fists, and also needs to protect the demon tranquilizer container that has no defense, so how dare that guy rush over?
With a loud bang, the huge but slender body fell heavily to the ground, splashing ice and shells crackling and scattering.
This sudden, almost suicidal counteroffensive surprised the veterans of the Undead Corps, but at this moment, they also showed incredibly strong military qualities, and the operation in their hands did not slow down at all, and immediately turned the direction of fire, wanting to fire directly at the demons in the crowd.
Of course, the war rush on the front line is not the kind of armored vehicle that can drive on the road in the Imperial City, but has a more terrifying defense, and can be used as the vanguard to rush into the first line of fire defense of the demon tide, and they clearly know how much bombardment each other can withstand, so no one has the slightest hesitation.
But even so, it still takes time for the huge barrel to turn, and the great demon that has fallen from the sky is incredibly fast, directly turning into an afterimage, flashing a cannonball that is just out of the chamber sideways, and crashing into a war rush car in front of it, the exoskeleton and the thick steel protective layer make a dull roar, and then grab the connection between the muzzle base and the top of the rushing car.
Due to the need to turn the muzzle, it is impossible to design a sealed protection in this kind of place, but it is not important, because on the battlefield, there is no demon who will attack in such a place, and most demons do not have that kind of intelligence.
But the demon they are facing now is controlled by a person, and he is still a person with a decent IQ.
So I only heard the roar of Gaba's metal transformation, and a huge fist had smashed firmly on the rotating bearing of the muzzle, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The rapid bombardment, which was so dense that it was almost a syllable, directly smashed it and dried it up, so that those complicated gears could no longer turn according to the instructions, and could only shake their heads in place like little babies who had not fully developed.
And just when everyone was attracted by this huge figure, a smaller figure also evaded the capture of sight, quietly but extremely quickly climbed on top of another rushing car, and then lifted the baffle of the steam filling valve, and the arm that was extremely slender compared to the demon was directly inserted into the hot turbine pipe, click, click, and all the kinetic energy transmission wires were broken into pieces.
In a few seconds, the two vans were scrapped, and in the next second, the muzzle of the third van was deflected by a huge force, and the tiny figure climbed onto the next vehicle.
Sherlock had a cigarette in his mouth, feeling the strange sensation of deadly burning heat and cold sleepiness clashing wildly in his mind, and his eyes were full of new excitement,
The rotation of the machine gun is much faster than the muzzle, during this time, the machine gun muzzle of the remaining several combat vehicles has been reversed, and for a while the bullet rain spews, and at such a close distance, there is no possibility of dodging, but even so, the huge body still firmly protects the container of the demon tranquilizer in its arms, using the exoskeleton on the back to resist the rain of bullets, countless magnificent lines of fire ruthlessly leave cracks on the exoskeleton, and in the place where there is no protection, drill into the muscles, and bring out blood.
At this moment, those veterans seemed to have forgotten that what they were attacking was a demon controlled by humans, and what great pain such an attack would cause to the other party!
Under the feedback, Sherlock's body was repeatedly pierced by countless sharp blades, but the pain also made him more and more clear, after killing the two war rush cars in Crimson in seconds, Sherlock relied on his small body, directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters from the roof of a car, and smashed it on another car, and at the same time, he pulled open the round door at the top and jumped in.
Immediately after that, the car's machine gun stopped firing.
Taking advantage of this gap, Crimson also suddenly burst out, and the seemingly slender arm suddenly reached out, grabbed the muzzle of a rushing car in front of him, and then lifted it, picked it up in half a circle, and smashed it to the rear!
The height of these war chariots is four or five meters, the length is almost eight or nine meters, and they are boxy, like a huge iron stone, and under the blessing of the thick layers of defense plates, each one has a terrifying weight.
What kind of strength can pick up such a war machine?
In short, this scene is extremely weird, but it really happened, and it smashed firmly on the mobile heavy cannon not far away, knocking it to the ground!
At the same time, it also created some space for himself, so Crimson's slender body finally began a thrilling evasive action the moment before the muzzle of the cannon turned to him, a very large horizontal movement, and then grabbed the demonic tranquilizer container in the air and twisted his body without any force, and dodged a few cannonballs in extreme danger.
At this moment on the straight road, suddenly, the veterans in the chariot saw a beam of light
A beam of golden light shining from the edge of the sky, this sunset should have been blocked by countless weapons of war, but at this moment, it suddenly shone in, reflected behind the demon in front of him, and in the golden light that had not fallen for several months, the bloody, miserable body in front of him was actually bathed in a certain solemn beauty.
This is certainly not the time to enjoy a beautiful sunset.
These veterans are buzzing in their brains!
Because this light means that a gap has been opened!
The cold wind was unsheltered, and the snowy field under the brilliant sunset suddenly appeared in front of me
Next second!
Rumble! With a bang, a pillar of snow rushed straight into the sky, and the demon that was still in sight just now instantly showed a speed twice as fast as in all the previous times, and in the exploding ground snow, it brought out a moment of sound waves, roaring, whistling, and rushing into the vast expanse of snow, leaving only those flying snow under the light, turning into golden particles dancing wildly, as long as they looked at it for a moment, the eyes of these veterans were painful, and their hearts were beating!
At this point, the world is so big that no one can stop him anymore.
