10 minutes later, the entrance to stairwell No. 16.
Dozens of Imperial soldiers fled from the stairwell in disgrace.
They are the reconnaissance team and combat team under Sergeant Alvin.
What was chasing them at the back of the team was not the Frost Skeleton Mage, but the Tomb Walkers covered in carrion and the Skeleton Soldiers with hollow eyes.
An endless army of undead poured out from the stairwell, stepped on the heels of the imperial soldiers, and entered the tomb hall on the ground floor.
What happened at the entrance to Stairwell No. 16 is not an isolated case.
Except for the No. 1 and No. 2 stairwells that were blocked by the river, a large number of undead armies appeared in all the other stairwells.
"Da da da da..."
The sound of gunfire sounded like tearing paper.
The water-cooled light machine gun that had been waiting at the entrance of the stairwell spit out tongues of fire and fired a torrent of bullets at the undead at the entrance of the stairwell.
The flesh of the zombies in the tomb was torn to pieces by the sharp barrage.
Blood splattered everywhere, carrion flew everywhere, and the tomb hall on the ground floor suddenly stank.
The undead army marched forward one after another, stepping on the corpses of the zombies in the tomb.
At this moment, the undead creatures fully demonstrated the advantage of "constant morale".
No matter how the machine guns roar, the undead army will never stop.
At the moment when the living and the dead come into contact, the battle on the scene skips the step of testing each other and directly enters the most intense and intense stage.
The commanders of each team barked orders.
"Shoot! Shoot! Change the barrel quickly! Load the ammunition chain!"
"The bomb launcher attacks the skeleton archers first. These stupid arrows are poisoned!"
"Pyrotroopers move forward! Alternate flame sprays! Prevent the flamethrower from overheating!"
The fire-breathing soldiers wearing heat-insulating suits have a bloated appearance and slow movements. They are always bearing the huge recoil of the flamethrower.
While maintaining the flame spray, they were pushed forward by their companions behind them.
The long dragon of flames reaches the stairs, burning all the undead in its path.
The unique liquid flame is extremely viscous. As long as it is touched by this flame, no low-level undead soldiers can escape its erosion.
It can be said that as long as the undead army can be suppressed in the stairwell, the ferocious flames will purify everything.
It can cause effective damage to undead structures and suture monsters at the same time, and is far more efficient than machine gun bullets and honey jelly bombs loaded with biochemical honey jelly.
With the flames pressing down on the formation, the situation on the scene was instantly controlled by the imperial army.
Mars' reconnaissance team had just escaped from the stairwell and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Nuo opened his breathing mask and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He still felt frightened when he recalled the scene in the stairwell.
The Frost Skeleton Mage retreated when the giant sarcophagus appeared. It seemed that he only came to prevent the investigation team from entering the underground level.
As soon as the Frost Skeleton Mage left, a large group of skeleton dogs entered the stairwell, followed by densely packed zombies and skeleton soldiers.
The ability of the giant sarcophagus to explode troops is really not limited.
The stairwell was instantly crowded with undead, but there were still undead that continued to squeeze into the corridor through the metal gate.
Fortunately, the combat team that went to respond brought biochemical military dogs, which delayed the pace of the skeleton dogs in time.
Otherwise, the fighting team will definitely fall into the dangerous situation of failing to save people and being attacked by the undead.
"Mars, Jarvis!"
Sergeant Alvin's guards ran over and conveyed the commander's instructions:
"You two come with me, someone wants to see you."
Sergeant Mars was slightly startled, "Someone wants to see us? Oh, I understand. Micah, you come to command the team. Jarvis and I go to see the commander first."
"Okay, Captain." Corporal Micah nodded.
Mars waved to Li Nuo, and the two of them followed the guards and ran away.
They pushed through crowds, dodged carts transporting ammunition, and trudged through the crowded camps.
"Boom!"
The sudden explosion resounded throughout the entire venue, causing scalp numbness and eardrum swelling and pain.
Li Nuo turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a shocking scene.
In the stairwells blocked by flamethrowers, many metal skeletons suddenly appeared walking together.
Metal skeletons use their metal-covered bodies to withstand flame jets and are more resistant to burning than other undead units.
Although he only held on for a few seconds, he successfully escorted the self-destructing skeleton soldiers to the ground!
The moment the self-destructing skeleton soldiers appeared, the empire had no time to turn off the flamethrower!
"Boom! Boom!"
Fires flashed continuously, smoke filled the sky, and explosions continued.
Li Nuo could feel the strong wind passing by him while standing in the camp.
Not to mention the flamethrowers closest to the stairs, they were all lifted into the air by the fierce blast of air.
The fire offensive was interrupted, and the entrance to the stairwell was filled with fireworks. The undead army ignored the remaining flames and rushed out of the stairwell.
Li Nuo looked at all this with a solemn expression.
The Necromancer Sect is really insidious.
They sneakily mixed in the self-destructing skeleton soldiers in the team, and suddenly broke through the empire's defense line. .
It has to be said that low-level undead units such as self-destructing skeleton soldiers are indeed miraculous in breaking through fire blockades.
After all, the range of the flamethrower is too short.
If the range was long enough, it would be impossible for the self-destructing skeleton soldiers to explode in front of the fire-breathing soldiers, let alone destroy the imperial army's defense line.
But it's too late to say this now.
The nine giant sarcophagi on the underground floor were blasting at full speed, as if they were trying to push down the imperial army.
There was a complete riot in Tomb No. 717.
"Don't be stunned, Mars, Jarvis, come with me!" the guard leading the way shouted amidst the gunfire.
Li Nuo came to his senses and followed the other party through the noisy camp.
The three of them passed through the gate of the mausoleum and boarded a waiting steam locomotive. Ten minutes later, they entered the camp of another army hidden among the ruins.
At this time, Li Nuo and Mars knew that not only Lieutenant Serre's army existed in Tomb No. 717, but also Vidas' army was hiding nearby.
However, the Vidas army is not here to support Lieutenant Serre, they have another purpose here.
"The person who wants to see you is the lieutenant of Vidas's army. Mars, you go in first. Jarvis, you wait until Mars comes out before going in."
The guard led the two people to the door, said a few words, then turned and left.
Sergeant Mars took a few breaths, adjusted his military uniform, nodded to Li Nuo, and walked into the conference tent in front of him first.
Li Nuo waited at the door for about 5 minutes before seeing Sergeant Mars walking out with a distressed look on his face.
"Jarvis, go in." Sergeant Mars stood aside with a sullen expression, not mentioning anything more about the meeting. It was obvious that someone had given him a silence order.
Li Nuo took a deep breath, calmed down, opened the curtain, stepped into the tent, and walked around the screen.
A conference table appeared in front of me.
At the conference table, he saw Captain Murphyya sitting at the head of the table. Several ensigns and lieutenants who had never met were lined up on both sides of the conference table.
As soon as Li Nuo entered the tent, he was stared at by several sharp eyes.
The lieutenants, who were strangers to each other, stared at Li Nuo, looking up and down, as if they were examining him.
Their faces are expressionless, their lines are tight, their sideburns are as sharp as razors, their expressions are old-fashioned and serious, and their bodies are tall and burly, like a giant bear sitting on a chair with its head crossed.
Facing these imposing military extraordinary men, Li Nuo remained calm and composed, with his back straight.
No matter how many people on the other side glanced at him, he didn't frown.
"Private Li Nuo, come and report!"
Captain Murphy's sat at the end of the conference table, where the host of the venue sat.
She held a thin cigarette between her fingertips and lit the cigarette butt in the crystal ashtray.
The venue spent 10 seconds in silence and depression.
After Captain Murphy's smoked all the cigarette in her hand and put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, she broke the silence:
"This is the Lenore Jarvis I mentioned to you. On the third underground floor of Tomb No. 1079, he successfully modified the undead runes on the magic protective cover. I was not the only one present at the time. Major Bartlett's men Lieutenant Sere is also present. Both I and Lieutenant Sere can prove Lenno Jarvis’ ability.”
Li Nuo met the gaze of the extraordinary man in the army, nodded slightly, accepted Captain Murphy's admiration, and casually gave a standardized answer:
"It is an honor given to me by the empire to go through fire and water for the empire."
Captain Murphya looked at the lieutenant at the conference table:
"So, Lieutenant Slack, what do you think of my proposal? Let Lenno Jarvis follow your elite team and let him destroy the magic barrier of the Necromancer Tower. This is faster than using your flamethrower. It is also more concealable. With his joining, your success rate in raiding the Necromancer Tower is almost 100%, and the possibility of alerting the Necromancer Cult is almost reduced to zero."
Necron Watchtower? Where is the Necromancer Tower?
Li Nuo muttered in his heart.
He remained calm, his expression unchanged, and he locked his thoughts firmly in his heart without showing them.
The lieutenant, who was called Slack, had a long hair, a big beard, and shaggy hair, like a lion.
He stared at the handsome and young Li Nuo and asked Captain Murphy Ya:
"Sir, are you sure that the stubborn Lieutenant Sere also recognizes this private's ability? I'm not questioning you. It's just that Major Bartlett and his lieutenants are very stubborn and rigid. I It’s hard to imagine that those people who only use flamethrowers to deal with magic protective shields would accept the fact that modifying the undead runes can also destroy the protective shield.”
Although the other lieutenants did not say anything clearly, they looked at Li Nuo with doubts in their eyes.
Obviously, the lieutenants were skeptical that ordinary people could modify the undead runes without making mistakes.
Even with Captain Murphy's guarantor and Lieutenant Sere's testimony, many lieutenants still could not fully believe in Li Nuo's abilities.
"I know what's preventing us from reaching agreement. You have to see it to believe it to convince you."
Captain Murphy's lowered his right arm, lifted a black metal box from his feet, placed it on the conference table and opened it.
"Jarvis, remove the magic protective shield in the box and prove your ability."
Li Nuo took the rune stick from the guard, walked to the conference table and looked inside the box.
There was no emotion in his eyes, but his heart trembled.
The thing in this box is an evil wand called the Elder Wand.
Perhaps due to an operating error or some other reason, this wand activated its self-protection function.
It wraps itself in a small magical protective shield to prevent outsiders from touching it.
Seeing the bone-setting wand again, Li Nuo couldn't help but feel emotional.
So far, the Bone Wand should be the most powerful magic prop he has ever seen.
Don't forget, the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom", which Li Nuo dubbed the "Up Pool of Death Spells", was deconstructed from the bone-setting wand.
Logically speaking, the imperial army would take the bone-setting wand and destroy it.
Li Nuo didn't expect that he would see this wand again.
He would definitely be lying if he said he wasn't attracted by it, but with the military boss looking around, there was no way he could take it for himself.
It greatly simplifies the plot flow, skipping the side content of cleaning up the 717 tomb, and directly enters the main plot of the male protagonist leaving the borderland of suffering.
