After a lot of work, the broken down locomotive was successfully connected to the car at the second location.
Li Nuo officially set foot on the road to the pass.
He put down the handbrake, shifted into neutral, and let the motorcycle under him be dragged forward by the motorcycle from the second station, while he squinted his eyes and looked at the approaching Imperial Pass.
It was a military fortress built on the mountain.
The altitude of the military fortress is approximately 300 meters.
Its main structure is inside the mountain, mainly tunnels and bunkers that cannot see sunlight all day long.
Another part of the fortress protrudes from the mountain, hanging on the smooth cliff like a relief.
To enter the fort from the ground, you need to take an elevator.
With someone from MI2 acting as a guarantee, the pass guards barely checked Li Nuo before letting the entire convoy pass.
Li Nuo and the steam locomotive beneath him rose steadily following the elevator platform.
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
The elevator platform rises to the top and stops on the ground on the first floor of the military fortress.
Li Nuo's steam locomotive was dragged down the elevator platform by the two departments and parked in a parking shed on the roadside.
"Thank you again, sir."
Li Nuo raised his hand in salute and watched the enthusiastic MI2 investigators leave.
He lifted Kerr up from the passenger seat, hung him on his shoulders, and dragged him towards the convoy escorting the criminals.
The guards of the convoy are cooperating with the soldiers at the pass to count the criminals in the convoy.
When the captain of the motorcade saw Li Nuo, he waved and shouted:
"Issa! Kerr! You are here."
"Captain, are you too embarrassed? You actually left me and Kerr on the road. If we hadn't met a kind-hearted MI2 investigator, we might still be eating ashes on the road."
Li Nuo imitated Isa's tone and muttered.
As he spoke, he carefully observed the captain in front of him.
Seeing that the other party didn't realize that he was a fake at all, the tension in Li Nuo's heart weakened a lot.
"Isn't it because I'm rushing to complete the transportation mission, Issa. Well, stop complaining. Is Kerr awake? Not yet? Well, we can only send him to the medical department."
The captain said a few words to the pass soldiers in front of him.
The other party called two team members and asked them to carry the unconscious Ker into the medical department.
Li Nuo felt much relieved without the burden of Kerr.
"Issa, don't be idle anymore. Help the pass soldiers send the criminals to the cells."
The captain thrust a remote control into Li Nuo's hand and urged:
"Move quickly and don't make mistakes. These criminal soldiers are what the garrison at the pass is eager to get. Don't let them slip away halfway."
Li Nuo looked at the remote control in his hand and blinked...
It's really time that comes and goes.
One day I actually used a remote control to control a shock collar.
Li Nuo recalled Issa's habit of escorting criminals, took out the metal rod from his waist, banged it on the iron cage, and shouted at the same time:
"You bastards, listen up. Your grave has arrived. Now, I'm going to send you to the shithole. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll electrocute you until you spit out your bitterness."
Several criminal soldiers glared at him fiercely.
Li Nuo didn't waste any time and directly pointed at them and pressed the remote control.
Sizzle.
Electricity surges.
The criminals fell to the ground twitching and begging loudly for mercy.
The other criminal soldiers also became much more honest.
Li Nuo opened the iron cage, dragged the criminals who were handcuffed and shackled out of the car, and escorted them to their cells together with the soldiers at the pass.
Halfway through, a messenger soldier hurried over and said to the soldiers in the team:
"Guys, following the latest instructions from above, we must cooperate with MI2 to implement the work of arresting the spies who reported death to the society."
Li Nuo's heart moved slightly and he listened attentively.
Could it be that the MI2 convoy that he encountered just now was here to arrest the spies from the Death Society?
The messenger continued:
"There is an order from above. Bunkers No. 1 to 15 are on wartime alert. Non-bunker guards are not allowed to enter. Bunker 16 is accessible as usual. If you want to transport criminal soldiers to the front line, go to bunker No. 16. Other bunkers None of them can pass.”
"Okay, we get it, thanks man."
The messenger rushed away, ran towards the convoy escorting the criminal soldiers, and brought the news to the pass soldiers guarding the criminal soldiers.
From the instructions from his superiors, Li Nuo smelled the smell of a trap.
The extremely extravagant princes and nobles of the ancient Tatis Dynasty built many well-defended mausoleums in the Blade Mountains, hoping to sleep here forever without being disturbed by the outside world.
The Blade's Edge Mountains are shrouded in strong winds all day long, making it impossible for the undead of the Necronomicon and the imperial army to fight on the surface.
Both sides unanimously placed the battle location among the huge mausoleums inside the mountain.
In order to defend the position and occupy the mausoleum, the Necronomicon Cult invested in the spiritual hub, while the Empire built a bunker in the mausoleum.
Li Nuo’s original plan was:
The combat team that sneaked into the bunker waited for an opportunity to leave the battlefield, reach the ground through the tunnel of the underground mausoleum, and then brave the strong wind from the ground to the north side of the mountain.
If there hadn't been the instruction just now, he would have chosen bunkers No. 1 to No. 16.
Now, only Bunker 16 is his option.
Isn't this "a must-have for the enemy"?
Maybe, a trap has been set up in Bunker 16, and the spies who are just waiting to report their death will jump into it.
"It was really unlucky that I happened to encounter a spy arrested by MI2, which blocked my way out."
Li Nuo maintained calm on the surface, but thoughts were surging in his heart:
"Could it be that my whereabouts were exposed? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
While thinking about the possibility of exposing his whereabouts, Li Nuo followed the team into the tunnel leading to the cell.
The coal lamp hanging on the wall casts dim firelight, illuminating the wall made of square stone bricks. The tunnel floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were obvious bullet scratches on the wall.
It seems that there has been a battle in this imperial pass.
The soldiers escorting him started talking.
"We have to cooperate with the people from the Second Division to catch spies again. Hey, we'll come every two days."
"I'm a bit confused. Why did the higher-ups seal up the bunker? When they used to catch spies, didn't they just roll the names and check their identities?"
"I estimate that the entire border defense line in the east is under martial law. If the spies from the Death Society want to leave the border area, they can only cross the Blade's Edge Mountains and take a boat back to the Empire from the illegal ferry crossing of the Golden Federation. This kind of thing has never happened. Master. Haven’t all the famous and senior members of the Death Council done this before?”
"The people who sued for death are so quick to capsize such a high mountain range at the drop of a hat."
"Hey, don't let the people from the Second Division hear what you say, or you will suffer. But don't think too much about the people who sue the death group. The price for them to force themselves over the mountain will be high. I heard that they had to use magic to turn themselves into skeleton soldiers before jumping off the cliff. When they got to the ground, they found their heads, arms and legs and put them together. If there were a few pieces missing Bones, they will suffer when they turn back into human beings, they will hurt so much that they may even die."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you said people who sue the death association, why do they bother so much?"
"What else could you want? Of course, you brought back important magic items. I heard that the thing that caused the collapse of the Colabo Legion's fortress was a wand. A real wand. Didn't you want to bring it with you when you told the Death Council? Go back?"
One soldier praised:
"Wow, man, I didn't realize how much you know."
Li Nuo also felt that the talkative soldier knew a lot, so he subconsciously looked over and was immediately stunned.
Just because the soldier was looking at him with deep eyes and a vague smile on his lips:
"Haha, of course I know more, far more than all of you. You say so, Private, I-Sa."
Li Nuo's heart trembled suddenly.
He was just about to cause chaos and escape from the scene, but was suddenly hit by a transparent lightning bolt.
Invisible heavy pressure came from all directions, holding him firmly in place.
【warn! 】
[You are affected by the "unknown magic effect" and enter a state where you cannot move! 】
[System reminder:]
["Magic Shield" can effectively prevent this magic effect from taking effect! 】
Li Nuo sketched out the blueprint for "Magic Shield" in his mind.
"Kakakaka."
Three crisp sounds came from him.
"Magic Shield" blocks magical effects that make people unable to move.
The heavy pressure on him weakened a lot.
Li Nuo twisted his body hard, broke free from the shackles of pressure, turned around and ran towards the tunnel from where he came.
The soldier who cast the spell looked surprised:
"Huh? It's interesting. You can actually release the "magic shield" and break away from my "immobilization technique". You are indeed not Isa! Who are you? "
The soldiers and criminals nearby were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, and had no idea what just happened.
Several soldiers were about to talk to the soldier who cast the spell, but saw the other person raise his hand towards them and others, and with a few clicks on his fingertips, he released a series of transparent lightning.
The soldiers and criminals were struck between the eyebrows by transparent lightning, their eyes suddenly lost sight, their expressions were dull, and they stood stiffly in place.
The soldier who cast the spell flicked his wrist, swung his fingertips forward, pointed directly at Li Nuo's back, and said one word calmly:
"Certainly."
Far greater pressure than before fell on Li Nuo.
He cast several "Magic Shields" in succession, but failed to offset the pressure on his body, and was forced to stay in place.
The soldier who cast the spell slowly walked past the dazed soldiers and criminal soldiers, and came to stand in front of Li Nuo.
"Your disguise is very good, strange wizard. But I know your team better. I know the habits and details of each of you, and the 'Isa' you disguised is no exception. You may also I didn’t realize that from the moment you appeared in front of me, I discovered many loopholes in you.”
He raised his right hand and pinched Li Nuo's face a few times:
"Oh~ you didn't use makeup to change your appearance. I felt very slight energy fluctuations on your skin. Your ability to control the camouflage spell is very good. You can actually compress the energy fluctuations on the surface of the skin without letting it Escape. No wonder I didn't notice the energy fluctuations in you until now... Let me remove your disguise."
The man's fingertips rubbed Li Nuo's forehead a few times, spraying a hazy mist.
A cold feeling appeared on Li Nuo's skin.
He frowned and couldn't move his body, but he still noticed changes in his body.
He knew that he had changed from Isa's appearance and that his body shape was forced back to normal.
The system sends a warning message at the same time.
【Notice! 】
[Affected by the "magic effect of an unknown name", "Disguise Living Corpse" was forced to terminate. 】
[System reminder:]
[After upgrading "Disguise Living Corpse", it is possible to offset this magical effect. 】
"A handsome face, a young Imperial man, ice-blue eyes... Let me think about it, are you the unlucky Lino Jarvis?"
The soldier who cast the spell stood in front of Li Nuo, staring at his face carefully with deep interest in his eyes:
"It seems that the bad luck we inflicted on you has brought you a lot of extraordinary gains. Not only did you not die in the fortress of the Colabo Legion, you also mastered the power of magic and became a wild wizard. You just used You have the "Magic Shield" spell, right? Do you know any other magic? "
The soldier smiled and snapped his fingers:
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, you can't speak now."
The pressure near his mouth was relieved, and Li Nuo's lips could close freely, but he chose to remain silent and only looked at the other person with indifferent eyes.
"Your calmness makes me sick, Jarvis." The soldier raised his hand and pinched Li Nuo's chin, clasping the opponent's bones hard, trying to see the pain on Li Nuo's face.
But unfortunately, Li Nuo was not as timid and cowardly as he thought. He remained calm and composed, and even dared to make provocations.
"Are you a stinky maggot who is suing for death? No wonder your mouth smells sour of shit."
"You are looking for death!"
The soldier glared, suddenly increased the strength in his hands, clamped Li Nuo's chin hard, and squeezed his bones so hard that they cracked.
"I'm telling you, Leno Jarvis, you may have some talent on the path of wizarding, and our Death Club needs people like you. But unfortunately, I didn't bring you back to the Death Club on my trip. Something. So just help me attract the attention of MI2."
The soldier let go of his right hand, snorted coldly, and threw out a few handfuls of transparent lightning.
The person hit by the transparent lightning moved mechanically and followed the soldiers into the depths of the tunnel.
Li Nuo's mouth was sealed again by invisible pressure, and he joined the queue walking like zombies.
"Hey, people from the Death Council are really easy to anger. Pig, Pim, and this guy in front of me, I can make them angry just by testing them a little. It seems that my ability to talk is still good. Not bad.”
Although Li Nuo's body was controlled, he was not panicked at all, and was still secretly happy in his heart.
When the other party pinched his chin just now, it caused some substantial damage to his body.
It was this bit of damage that triggered passive deconstruction.
【system information:】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[Your level of deconstruction completion of "Grinsaul, a member of the Death Society" has increased from 0% to 0.02%. 】
[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]
[1. The other party’s name is Greensau, he is 48 years old, male, 1.90 meters tall, weighs 55 kilograms, and does not have eight-pack abs. 】
[2. Greensau comes from the Death Society and is a death wizard with second-level strength. 】
[3. Completely deconstructing Greensaul requires about 20,000 energy points. 】
Li Nuo read through the deconstruction results and nodded secretly.
They are both second-level extraordinary beings, but the difficulty of deconstructing the "Imperial Fist" and the second-level wizard is different.
This should not be caused by the strength gap between the two sides, but probably by the huge difference in the amount of knowledge and skills they possess.
After all, as an "Imperial Fist", as long as you can fight, you don't need to learn a lot of theoretical knowledge and memorize various spell blueprints like a wizard.
But then again.
Why do the wizards from the Death Society appear here?
Li Nuo recalled what Greensau had said before and made some assumptions.
Could it be that the bone-setting wand is in the pass?
There is indeed a group of spies from the Death Society who want to transport it out from the Blade's Edge Mountains?
If this is the case, then Greensau, who possesses the strength of a second-level wizard, is most likely the leader of this group of spies.
