"So we've got work to do again? It's great, it's been so boring to fight with Su lately, and my bones are getting rusty. ”

In a tavern in Asgard, the Zero Three are the only ones. Hearing that Zero had taken over Douglas's job, Kaede was not only not objecting, but also excited. Su Bai glanced at him and said, "I regret that I didn't take it seriously when I trained, otherwise I would have broken your bones, and I wouldn't have to look at you looking happy here." Head, you see if he's getting carried away. ”

"Where did I get carried away. Feng emphasized: "Every man has a heart to fight, hear clearly, it's fighting, not training." Oh, of course, you won't understand, because you're a woman. ”

Su sneered: "Why don't you fight with a woman like me outside the city?"

"Alright, alright. Zero lost and said, "I thought that the two of you would train together, and the relationship would be enhanced." ”

Su blushed and said, "Who would have a relationship with this kind of person." My man, you have to be better than me!"

Kaede snorted and said, "Then you can only find a male tyrannosaurus." ”

"That's better than a soft egg. ”

Kaede said angrily: "Who is the soft egg!"

"Shut up!" Zero said angrily, "If you have the strength to quarrel, let's keep it for the Dark Council." I'm sure you'll have to get your muscles moving this time. ”

He pulled out a tablet brain from behind his back, put it on the table, and opened a topographic map. It was a map of the Council and Valhalla war zones, and there were several colors on the map. Yellow represents the wilderness, gray represents the buffer zone, red is the frontline theater, and green is the last place to be affected by the war. It can be clearly seen on the map that there are many red areas, and they are quite dense, which indicates that at least seven or eight main battlefields on both sides are fighting at the same time, and it is obvious that the war has reached a white-hot stage.

Judging from the red area, the war has been raging for thousands of miles, basically isolating the east and west sides of the continent.

Zero's hand swiped across the screen as he said, "The town of Sellers is on the northeast side of the main war zone of both sides, and in order to create conditions for us, Thor will intensify the strategic attack in that direction in order to attract the attention of the council." From here, we will have to go around the main war zones 1 to 3, and we will have to go around in a big circle, but it is better than going directly through the war zones of both sides. ”

When the screen moves to the northeast side, Zero stops. He pulls two fingers in opposite directions, and the map expands, revealing a small town. With the click of an icon on the side, the town immediately changed from a floor plan to a three-dimensional shape. The model of the town slowly rotated on the screen, and Zero said, "The town of Sellers is backed by a section of mountain, and there are town walls and fire points on the other three sides. But that's not the point, the important thing is that we don't know where Valkyrie is imprisoned. Also, what kind of arrangement Hart made. Ben's own guess was that Oglok might be stationed with the Abyss' men. ”

"Abyss?" Kaede had already put away the hippie smile just now, and asked seriously, "What is that?"

"According to Valhalla's intelligence, the abyss only started a few years ago. It seems that the high-level Blood Riders were concocted based on the genes of some kind of creature, and these warriors were named Abyss Knights, and they were several levels higher than the Blood Knights. The whole plan is called "Abyss", and if the report is true, then the Abyss Knight is the worst, and there will be a ninth, or even tenth-order level. Zero Zhengse said: "So we can't take it lightly, even if the high-level concoction is far less experienced than ours, but after all, the power is there." ”

"In other words, could we run into a high-ranking knight, or even Ogllock?" Su frowned, "In that case, it's simply an impossible task. ”

"Nothing is absolute. Zero smiled and said, "Knowing that it is an iron plate, of course we can't kick it like this." In fact, in addition to Saul stepping up his actions, Douglas will also take matters into his own hands. However, instead of going to Cyrus, he bypassed the main battle zone and feinted to attack Phoenix. Phoenix is now the Parliament's stronghold, and if attacked, it would be very detrimental to the Council's frontline theater. Douglas wanted to lure Oglok away and create opportunities for us. ”

"And what if Oglock isn't fooled?"

"That feint would turn into a real attack, and Douglas wasn't entirely sure. He was betting, betting, between Phoenix and Valkyrie, which was more important to Oglok. ”

Zero put away the tablet brain: "The basic situation is like this, rest early, and we will set off tomorrow morning." ”

The nights were long and short.

For those who are full of thoughts, every minute is as long as a year. And for those who only care about the present, it is a day with their eyes closed. No matter how long or short, the night will pass, and the day will come.

As the morning light dawned in the wilderness outside of Asgard, an off-road vehicle swayed out of a tunnel in the Julian Mountains. Zero drove the car, and the wind lifted his head to pieces. In the back sat Su and Kaede, who did not bring the soldiers with him this time. Take those soldiers with you, and undoubtedly let them go to their deaths.

When Zero appeared in the wilderness, in the corner of a certain hill, two figures rose into the sky, hovering high in the air like falcons, and followed behind the off-road vehicle with radiation clouds. It was Mobile Lake, and when they were flying at high altitude, they were just two black dots from the ground, and it was hard to find that they were actually tenth-order xenomorph elites.

The buggy went all the way east.

This is the road to the coastline, and this road is all too familiar to Zero.

From being rescued by Valkyrie to the fall of Remut, Zero has been running back and forth on this route several times. The scenery of the wilderness remains the same, only the people have changed.

This time he took over the job of saving Valkyrie from Douglas, and Zero was not all for the overall situation, and there was also a little selfishness in it. He wanted to return Valkyrie's favor, if she hadn't rushed to the City of Shadows to save him from Rhine's sword, he wouldn't be where he is today. Although Valkyrie only came that day because of Ben's order, a favor is a favor, and now, Zero finally has a chance to pay it back.

The journey in the wilderness is lonely, so lonely that even Kaede has lost interest in quarreling with Su. A few days before the start, the two of them were able to have a burst of verbal swords. But the more they went, the two of them gradually became silent, which was affected by the smell of loneliness in the wilderness.

On the eighth day of leaving Asgard, driving through the wilderness, the sound of cannons could already be heard from far away. The voices reminded the people in the car that they were approaching the frontline theater. At noon, Zero parked behind a rocky block and took shelter from the scorching sun in the shadow of the stones. They ate something in the car, and Zero was comparing the map with a tablet brain while eating.

"We have to walk. Zero said: "Two hundred kilometers further from here, you will receive the edge of the No. 3 main battle zone." We'll have to take a detour from here, but it's not a road that a vehicle can walk. ”

"I can't ask for it, I've been in the car all these days, and I'm almost suffocating. Kaede stretched.

"Then let's do it. ”

Zero put away his brain and jumped out of the car. In the back of the car, the trio took out several half-length cloaks, three or four old-fashioned gunpowder rifles or revolvers, as well as short knives and daggers. After attaching these items to his body, he smeared his hands and face with nearby rock ash. From their appearance, the three of them look like hunters common in the wilderness. But compared to Zero, it is obvious that Kaede and Su are more eye-catching, and that is because their respective weapons are more conspicuous.

Both of their previous weapons had been damaged during the war in the Western Continent, and upon returning to Dawning City, Dr. Kod redesigned and crafted new weapons for them.

Kaede got two knives, one long and one short, one wide and one narrow. The two knives are pitch black throughout, and the blades are dull and dull, but the blades are indestructible. The long one is called "Chopping Lan", and the short one is called "Broken Waves". With these two knives, Kaede's attacks become even more unpredictable. As for the Su weapon, it is still a heavy sword. The sword was as tall as Suqi, and the blade was dark red, with some twisted lines on it. They channel energy so that the greatsword can withstand more power.

Su's heavy sword, named "Titan".

When the sexy Su holds the Titan heavy sword, there is always a feeling of beauty and beast mixed up.

Compared to them, Zero has no sense of existence with his bare hands. Even Zero's fists are actually more powerful than their weapons. But most people only focus on the outside, and few pay attention to the inside.

After the three of them carried out the necessary camouflage of the car, they followed the route of Zhi Brain. To bypass the three main theaters of operations, it is necessary to pass through a complex mountainous area. There are no roads in the mountains, so there is no way to drive there with a swagger. Fortunately, the speed of the three of them was not slow, and at the end of the day, they had already run most of the distance. In another day, you'll be able to leave the mountains and cut into an old-fashioned deserted road that will take two days to the back of the small town of Cyrus.

Of course, there will be no peace in the mountains, in addition to the mutant beasts, there are also some displaced people who have taken refuge in the mountains because of the war. A few people killed several mutant beasts, including two corpse wolves. They simply took the wolf skin down with their knives and carried it on their bodies more like hunters. And seeing their bloodstained wolf skins, not many outcasts were willing to provoke them, even if they looked like they had food on them.

At night, the three of them found a sheltered cave to light a fire and rest. Kaede hunted and killed a few rampaging gophers wandering in the nearby mountains, and although these things were a little ugly, they were fat and meaty, and when they were cooked, they made a delicious meal. It's just that if you know it, you know, the rampaging gopher is not something that ordinary people can hunt. These meter-long giant rats can bite off the heel of an adult man's leg with their front teeth, not to mention that they are always in groups of three or five, and it is not easy to hunt.

Soon, the gopher is cut into pieces with a short knife and roasted on a stone heated by fire. It didn't take long for the smell of meat to overflow, and when the first piece of rat meat was cooked, Zero saw two thin figures in the distance walking towards their cave.

That's two kids.
