Seeing Ernest turn into a real puppet under the influence of the curse potion, Serena's bright red lips showed a charming smile. In this way, all the things my father told me will be completed.
As the troops from the Stallman State capital entered the Montenegrin border, Lord Vishak, who had been stationary in the north for a long time, made a decision to withdraw all the Knights to his territory, making a gesture of not being in conflict with the civilian army. Montenegro County has drawn a clear line. After all, so far, no one can deny that the previous troop dispatches were a counterattack against the civilian army's infringement of its territory, expulsion of local churches and abduction of serfs. There is no evidence that the Knights were directly involved in the rebellion planned by the county government and the regiment.
Of course, my father did not expect this strategy to be able to fool Stallman for long, but it was not yet time to finally break up with Sentinel Ridge. The whereabouts of the third cursed code fragment are still unknown. Even if there are still some uncontrollable factors, the cautious sub-lord will not take it lightly.
While withdrawing his troops, he also secretly transferred the mage hunter unit, the renegade former Defias engineers, back to the war-torn Black Mountain Town to assist Serena. At the same time, he brought a large number of valuable forbidden magic sigils and spellcasting materials, and ordered his daughter to perform one last task here before leaving;
That is to destroy everything, including evidence. As the entire town sinks into the ground in the twisted space rift, all the people who know the secrets behind the Black Mountain City Hall and the traces left behind will also disappear. By then, even if Stallman and the Commissioner of Stormwind come to search, no one can find the truth from the abyss.
When Serena received the order to destroy an entire town and kill tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers, she was stunned for a moment. After a while, she only had admiration for her father's courage and meticulousness; For a big event, just tens of thousands of chess pieces, what can't be sacrificed?
Since the fire that destroyed everything in the past when she was young, Serena has had two fathers, three uncles, and countless brothers who have taken refuge with her, but she has never seen anyone like Marquis Vishak. A presence that made her admire and shudder. Such an extremely powerful, wise, and cruel person, coupled with the ultimate insight and patience; he will neither tolerate any changes nor underestimate any opponent. Who else can defeat him?
My father had even considered every detail and asked the mayor Ernest to carry and activate the activation device of the Hell Demon Abyss. In this way, it can not only ensure that the center of the collapse is at the city hall, and the remaining county officials and the high-ranking bandits who came to surrender can be wiped out, but also the crime of destroying the town can be passed on to the desperate and frantic mayor. Anyway, Ernest was fond of magic powder and often drank it until he became delirious, which was well known in the Western Frontier.
Serena just thought that it would be best to attract the red-haired villain when the time comes. Even if he had a way to escape on his own, it would be impossible to save so many subordinates and civilians at the same time.
What a refreshing picture it would be for him to watch many of his accomplices screaming and falling into the abyss, helpless. Aren’t you going to save everyone? Aren’t you going to never let others die because of you? What a disgusting joke! The more Serena thought about it, the more pleased she became, and she laughed out loud.
At this time, a subordinate wearing a metal mask came forward and whispered something in her ear. After listening, the smile on Serena's face disappeared.
According to the report, in the past two days, the Hell Demon Abyss Sigil project, which was about to be completed, was blocked by some attackers wearing red masks, and the progress was greatly slowed down. Several teams constructing the Demonic Abyss were attacked, and many of the demonic seals that had been laid were also destroyed. These spies went out at night, using advanced law-breaking rifles and rune bombs, with clear goals and professional techniques. It seemed that they had accurately determined the types and details of the forbidden techniques.
Serena knew who did it as soon as she heard it. After telling her men to leave, she took out a small piece of red cloth from her pocket. It was a fragment cut off from the red mask worn by Pullman when she fought with him that night.
She picked up the red cloth and looked at it carefully, then put it under her nose and took a deep breath. The advanced magic tool sensor immediately analyzed the composition, structure and origin of the cloth, as well as the estimated height, weight and age of the owner contaminated with bodily fluids;
All information is extremely accurate and fast, but the most basic flavor is missing. Serena sat blankly for a while, then lowered her head, her magic crystal eyeballs passing through the metal parts all over her body.
Except for her hands, feet and face, the bionic skin on most parts of her body has not been repaired and is still exposed metal parts. Because Serena, who has a deep mysophobia, only allowed skins made of children's delicate skin to be installed on her body, and they were all let go by Marisa.
"Two little cuties, it's really not easy. Until now, I still don't know your names."
After that night's battle, with the assistance of her father, orders, and former colleagues, her broken wrist and damaged parts throughout her body were quickly repaired, and the remaining flesh and blood organs were replaced and strengthened. Now she is a powerful killing machine, even when faced with a regular army company with heavy firepower. Ordinary ammunition and magic cannot hurt her at all.
However, as the last biological parts were replaced by magic tool parts, Serena could no longer feel any pain or consciousness other than combat.
She sighed. Now, is she a human being or a machine?
…
At night, on a certain street in Heishan Town, the guards lurking in the dark followed a whistle and opened fire violently at the guard team who was constructing a magic seal.
The soldiers' armor, swords and shields, and the engineering mage's hastily crafted spells, were vulnerable to the rune gunners equipped with spell-breaking ammunition. After leaving several bodies behind, the remaining people fled in panic.
The escorts jumped out of their hiding places, rushed to the construction site, and carefully removed the magic seal from its underground base. He also followed the procedures to destroy the magic circle facilities and destroy the surrounding magic network anchor points.
Just when the team members relaxed their vigilance, with the muffled sound of the wind element being fired, a magic bullet flew quickly; caught off guard, one team member was hit directly in the head and died on the spot. Others scrambled for cover and fought back in the direction of the attackers.
The group of people who suddenly attacked the escort were all wearing enchanted bulletproof cloaks and metal masks with only their eyes exposed. The rune guns they hold are more sophisticated than those held by the rebel soldiers, and the ammunition and magic scrolls are also more advanced and expensive.
However, the guards had all undergone arduous training and had superb shooting skills. After a fierce battle, each other suffered casualties. As the enemy was in darkness and we were clear, the escort chose to retreat.
After receiving the report, Pullman understood that the mage hunters belonging to Serena had already been dispatched. With the increase in the number of attack points, they would have to clash with each other sooner or later. However, this also verified his previous judgment: our side was operating behind enemy lines, but the Mechanical Sister's men also did not dare to make a big show of it;
Because their actions were even more ulterior, they could not mobilize the county guards to round up our personnel. Even to a certain extent, the guards were rescuing the county soldiers who were kept in the dark. Once the truth about the Hell Demon Abyss is revealed, and when many fighting soldiers and officials staying in the city hall learn that the entire town will be destroyed by Vishak using large-scale forbidden magic, and that they are all abandoned cannon fodder, It's a genius if you don't rebel.
Therefore, the destruction of the rebel agents could only be dealt with by the nuns' men themselves, and they did not have many of them. Although we only have a dozen warriors in the city in total, the opponent's number is also sparse, so it can be said that they are evenly matched. Without annihilating them, the town cannot be safe.
Pullman immediately formulated a counter-ambush plan. In view of the fact that the enemy could only concentrate and operate stealthily, he planned to gather all the soldiers together. First use a small number of people to attack a construction site, pretend to be surrounded by the enemy, and take advantage of the enemy's hunting to expose the position. Concentrate firepower to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and kill the enemy's effective forces.
Because the biggest problem at present is that it is behind enemy lines and supplies are cut off. It is necessary to interfere and delay the construction progress as much as possible before the ammunition and runes are exhausted. As long as the main force of the rebel army breaks through the city defenses and the magic is still blocked, they will win.
