Late at night, in Dongcheng District, gunshots and explosions rang out continuously. A group of guards and engineering mages who were sneakily planting magic seals were attacked by fire from an unknown direction.

In recent days, the news of successive attacks on the engineering team has already spread, and looking at the torches lit everywhere, these people have no will to fight. The soldiers were so disorganized that they did not dare to leave the back of their shields, and after the engineering mage had cast a few spells indiscriminately, they abandoned the construction equipment and retreated in a hurry.

What they didn't know was that there were only two rebel soldiers attacking. There are only a dozen or so people left, and in the face of hundreds of magic seal nodes, they can only divide their troops as much as possible and attack at the same time.

The two fighters relied on the tactics of attacking from the east to the west, so that the enemy could not understand the direction and number of people attacking, and they were frightened. After successfully repelling the construction team, the fighters jumped out of cover and came to the construction site, ready to dismantle the half-buried magic seal.

Usually, the safest way to dismantle it is to blow it up along with the anchor base to prevent the nun's men from returning to repair it. However, when they set up the detonation rune, they soon discovered that the place where the magic seal was buried was too close to the nearby houses. In the exchange of fire, some children were awakened by the sound of gunshots and explosions, and disappeared after a few moments, apparently covering their mouths by adults;

Not to mention that the explosion itself may affect the residents who are hiding, and the shattered magic mark fragments and powder will also be integrated into the air and water sources, causing heavy pollution in a short period of time. They must be warned to stay away from here as much as possible and not to drink water from nearby wells for a day or two.

After consulting with each other, the two fighters prepared to evacuate the nearby residents before carrying out the demolition mission. Although Pullman had told everyone not to linger too long somewhere after the exchange of fire was exposed, after all, they were isolated behind enemy lines surrounded by thousands of White Legions;

However, it is impossible for these simple and kind peasant soldiers to remain indifferent when they do something that is about to hurt the people. Just as two warriors knocked on the door from house to house to warn the residents to leave, a flash of blade light, blood splattered, and the head of one warrior flew high.

A slender figure dressed in a nun's black robe appeared behind them at some point, the ends of slender fingers that were by no means made of flesh and blood, connected to the slender blades stained with blood.

The other soldier was stunned for a moment, then yelled and shot at the attacker. But the bullets clanged all over the nun's body, and they all bounced off. Under the torn burqa, a shiny, incomparably hard alloy was revealed;

The soldier kept running out of bullets, and was caught in the throat by the nun who came up to him, and picked it up with one hand. Moments later, the nun broke his neck.

Serena let go of her hand, and the body fell heavily to the ground. Her head twisted back at an impossible angle, and the crystal's pupils swirled and clicked, and her eyes locked on the communication crystal ball that the warrior carried;

Equipped with state-of-the-art combat weapons, she quickly locked on to the location of another group of warriors by relying on precision magic tools with detection magic attached.

The team was searching for a lost comrade, and shortly after attempting to call the missing team through a communication channel, it was suddenly attacked by a woman who was extremely agile and not afraid of bullets and magic.

Caught off guard and crushed by combat power, the team was quickly killed and wounded. After the two fighters were killed, the last of the seriously wounded fighters realized that the dangerous cyborg was tracking them with a communication orb; With the last of his strength, he crawled over, lifted the crystal ball, and smashed it to the ground.

Serena strode over, turned over the dying warrior with her metal feet, and said with a blank face, "Say, where is the brown-haired young man and the little girl with two braids?" ”

The badly wounded warrior sneered and said, "You'll never know. As he spoke, he resolutely raised his gun and prepared to commit suicide.

However, Serena had already slashed his wrist with a sword, and the broken wrist and pistol flew high, and the warrior snorted, almost fainting from the pain. Serena stepped forward, leaned down, grabbed the warrior's head, and popped out her finger knife, stabbing the long blade straight into his brow;

In the midst of the deafening screams of the warriors, she was unmoved, and her expression did not change even a bit, as if she were performing an anatomy on a mouse or a frog. The tip of the knife continued forward, piercing the skull and inserting it into the brain, before it was jerked out, and the lifeless body fell to the ground.

Serena stretched out her bifurcated bionic tongue and licked the blood and brain tissue on the blade, and the pocket circle on the tongue began to work, and soon captured a portion of the warrior's memories. This vicious magic is one of the technologies that should have been permanently sealed in the cursed code.

In the fragmented memories of her victims, Serena finds information about the Guard's hideout and other squads. However, the ensuing tracking did not go well, the shattering of the crystal ball and the successive loss of contact between the two teams sent a warning message, and the remaining guards immediately turned off the communication signal, and dispersed, and the inn stronghold was abandoned and blown up.

The remnants of the fighters knew that some of their comrades would never return again; But at the same time, they understand that their sacrifices must not be in vain. At present, the most important task is not to have a head-on conflict with the nuns, and to step up and continue to destroy the magic seal of the project.

After locating and defeating another team, Serena was unable to find any more Rebel agents. However, the energy of the circle showed that the node continued to weaken and disconnect, and soon, it was below the minimum activation threshold.

Serena was a little annoyed, even though she was superior in battle, she couldn't appear in all places at the same time, searching every corner of the town, and protecting all the forbidden nodes. That's why she needs her subordinates, and they've all been killed by her own hands.

However, there is one last way left. After killing most of the fighters she encountered, she left behind a captive who was mortally wounded. After torture by all means, this strong warrior never spoke.

Serena originally wanted to use the forbidden technique of obtaining memories again, but after thinking about it, the other party had abandoned the stronghold and fought separately, and each agent did not necessarily have the exact information of all her comrades in her head;

So she dragged the captive all the way to the gallows in the center of the city, tied his hands and feet, and put a noose around his neck.

Serena first used the puppet nerve thread to manipulate the warrior's arm and send a unique assembly signal to the sky, but after a while, there was no response, and the other party would not be easily fooled. She then built a mechanical timekeeping device consisting of a crowbar, a rotating shaft, a rope and an alarm clock. When the countdown is over, the device automatically cuts the string that binds the joystick, triggering the gallows stepping table to open, and the captive is instantly killed.

While doing all this, Serena was unhurried, because she knew that there must be the other party's eyeliner in the vicinity that was closely watching. All this will be seen by them. This is the only effective way to deal with those bandits who are not afraid of their own death.

When the device is activated, the clock ticks, and the sharp blade gets closer and closer to the string. As the minutes ticked by, there was silence all around.

Serena waited patiently, knowing that the other party would come. Because these people never know what to pay for. After Van Cleef's death, Defiya, who still had half of the country, could not escape such a conspiracy, and he couldn't be clearer of being booby-trapped by the officials and soldiers little by little.

Serena sat in the corner of the table, her cheeks propped up, her feet shaking. She imagined over and over again in her mind the appearance of the brown-haired young man, like a young girl waiting to date her lover;

"I'm so nervous, how will I tell him later."

With a "jingle bell" alarm sound, time ran out. Serena closed her eyes, the trap triggered, and the sharp blade popped out. Just before the string was about to be cut, a bullet flew in and shattered the timer.

Serena opened her eyes, and a young figure appeared on the edge of the execution ground.

"Enough, I'm coming. You've already lost, Serena Hokia. ”
