"Hurry up!"
Amiya's anxious urging came from the communication channel, followed by a deafening explosion. The clatter of chaotic footsteps echoed in the narrow corridors, interspersed with a few roars and wails from time to time.
A stream of red light hit the wall next to Valentine and opened a big hole. The flying rubble hit the Rhode Island operators like bullets in the narrow corridor, but they didn't even feel pain. Not feeling anything, they still sprinted forward crazily, leaving the Kasaz mercenaries with only severe pain and the lightning that shone like the sun before darkness fell.
Before entering the command tower, Valentin thought that the battle inside the tower would be simpler than the stronghold outside the tower. After all, it was a narrow space, and some AOE attacks would not be effective at all, otherwise he would send the enemy with him. Enter the underworld.
Isn't it true that someone would play with explosives during CQB? No way, right?
As a result, these desperate Sakaz mercenaries used the spells in their hands to severely hit the little dragon man in the face.
During the first explosion, Valentine froze on the spot and patted his head, thinking that he was dreaming, and quickly followed the team; the second explosion almost overturned the heavy-armed operator at the front of the team, and Valentine hurried He ran to the front of the team and stood behind the heavy armor; the rubble thrown by the third explosion hit him directly in the head, and the severe pain pierced into the depths of his brain like a needle. He didn't knock out his soul, but this The fire in the medical operator's heart was forced out, and he was so angry that he rushed to the front of the team to fight side by side with the enemy while holding up his dushuang, leaving only the thin backs of the operators behind him flashing with electric sparks.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then the enemy standing in front of the Rhode Island operator lost his breath. Along with the blood spurting out was a roar, like thunder across the night sky.
Spell explosions, arrows, machetes... none of them can stop the footsteps of this thunder and lightning, but the blade in his hand can easily cut through any thick protection, dragging the lives of the Sakaz mercenaries towards Charge forward.
The guards are heavy-armed, but the medical operators are full of morale!
Amiya's words "quick, quick, quick" were not meant for Valentin, who ran at the end of the team at the beginning, but to tell the operators of the beheading team to follow the crazy medical operator in front to avoid being killed. He was far away and missed the best time to confront Tallulah.
Who knows if this guy will ignore Officer Chen and rush to the top of the control tower to fight Tallulah on top of Chernobog...
But judging from the current situation, Valentin will not die when he fights Tallulah, but those who follow him will be in misery, and will most likely be burned to ashes by the aftermath of the flame dragon.
"Is this a beheading operation?"
Looking at the arrows and spells shot towards him, Valentine showed no fear in his eyes, and the electric light on his body shone brighter. His eyes were wide open, and the originally light red eyes were now covered with bloodshot eyes. In the eyes of others, it was as if they had been splashed with blood, which was as shocking as the roar in his mouth at this moment.
"This is called a fucking beach landing!"
Deshuang slashed from top to bottom, and hit the Sakaz Warlock's neck with the fire in Valentine's heart, passing the crazy power and anger in his hands into the body of the unlucky Warlock, and then a Divide into two.
The blade blessed by the Eternal One is the sharpest existence in the world. Although it can't cut off time and love, it can kill any unreasonable guy unreasonably. If destiny also flows with life, then it will be cut into two pieces under this sharp blade, just like this warlock, staring with unwilling eyes and splattering vital blood.
The blood shed by Sakaz was not worthy of sympathy, at least not at this moment. Valentine even wanted to step on the corpse of this enemy and yell a few more words.
Who the hell would use explosives indoors?
Can't you just paddle hard and show some symbolic resistance to get out of the way?
Is that bastard worth your efforts?
Aren’t mercenaries all paid to work and run away? ?
Our goal is Tallulah, isn't it necessary for you to make such a deadly move that your teammates don't care about? ? ?
Labor and management are about to be beaten into thunder! !
The battle with the Patriots not only allowed Valentine to develop the conditioned reflex of activating the Originium Skills to fight when encountering a huge momentum, but also tempered his body and Originium Skills' ability to withstand pressure, and his spells when facing saturation strikes. reaction speed and body's recovery ability.
Now, when he encounters a fierce battle, he basically does not need his brain to issue the command "I want to use the Origin Stone Skill" to release spells. The power deep in his heart will emerge on its own and wrap around Valentine's body for repair. Very worry-free.
There is just one drawback, just like this...
Countless blue thunders wrapped around Valentine's body, constantly emitting dazzling light. Especially at the moment, the corridor they were in was a dark environment specially created by the Sakaz mercenaries. The whole person seemed to be standing tall. The sun in the void illuminated the surrounding environment several meters away, allowing those still in the darkness to see clearly the blood around him.
Rhode Island has always believed in the operational creed of "try to avoid fighting" and "try not to kill the enemy", but in this battle they faced the Sakaz mercenaries, a group of lunatics who cannot use common sense to speculate. This creed also It became a joke, starting from the very beginning of the stronghold raid.
Everyone was splattered with blood, even Amiya and Rosemary, who were in the middle of the team and were protected by layers of protection. These two little girls have the highest combat power in the Rhode Island team. They must save their energy to deal with Tallulah and cannot waste their energy on a group of cannon fodder. Naturally, the task of opening the way is left to the only remaining heavy equipment. and two guards carried it on their shoulders.
As a result, the reddest person on his body at this time was the medical operator. He stood among the corpses and slowly hung down. His figure was splashed with a thick and dazzling bright color. The red on the anti-stab suit was thick and wild, like a calligraphy master. The work is covered by crackling thunder, with a stench washed by blood, like the last person left on the battlefield.
"These guys wouldn't have died."
Valentine's figure was not upright, but stooped. The aura of just raising his sword to kill disappeared without a trace in this quiet moment. He saw the clotted blood on his body that could be peeled off in pieces, saw the unlucky guy on the floor who had just been cut in two by him, and thought of the dozens of soldiers behind him whose lives had been taken away by Germany's double-edged swords.
Why are these people fighting so hard?
What is there in Tallulah that would make them paranoid enough to give up their lives?
You are aware of the chaos in Sakaz, but you, as Sakaz people, died under the sword of the Vaifan because of the tyranny of a Drak, your that, that...
Valentin frowned and searched for plot information about Arknights soon. Shadows spread from beneath him to cover the area, enveloping everything but him. A voice appeared in Valentin's ear and said a name.
"Theresia."
Oh yes, Theresa, the king of Kazdaele.
Such a good leader, a king who does everything personally and is at one with the people. If you Sakaz people don't follow her and help her win the Sakaz Civil War, forget it. Now you are still coming out after the Sakaz Civil War. Other countries?
How can you face your King Theresia after you go down? If Theresia saw you, I would roll up my sleeves and beat you up first, you are a bunch of guys with weird minds...
The scolding was very unpleasant, and Valentin also felt sorry for it. The anger in his heart had disappeared along with the enemy's life, and all that was left at this moment was confusion and sighs.
"I found that this thing of yours is really useful. You can always come out and smash Varudo when I am thinking about life, so as not to be pushed forward by reality before I can understand a word."
Valentin lifted the double circle and circled it twice, shaking off the blood on it and then standing in front of him.
"The Master said: When I was fifteen, I learned how to learn; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I understood the destiny of heaven; when I was sixty, my ears were attuned; when I was seventy, I followed my heart's desires without exceeding the rules."
The sound of melodious reading came from Valentin's ears. He turned his head to follow the sound and saw Jiao Zhengyu in his field of vision. He was dressed in white robes, with silver hair and a jade face. He had an extraordinary demeanor like an immortal, which was similar to his own, a warrior who had been splashed with blood. A sharp contrast.
"The normal development of human beings is almost like this, but the environment will always affect them. For people who have been in war for a long time, they may be dead before they reach their forties, but if they have a little luck, they will always be alive. I also met a noble person, maybe they can turn thirty without confusion."
?
Valentin knew what Confucius said, but when Jiao Zhengyu said it, he didn't understand what this artificial intelligence was pretending to do.
"I'm trying to help you clear up your confusion."
…
Valentin leaned against Deshuang and said nothing, spreading his hands to show that he was listening.
"You are really complicated, and your brain circuit is different from ordinary people. After cutting down all the enemies, most people will immediately move to cut down the enemies in one place. After all, there are still many obstacles that need to be removed before their ultimate goal."
"But you are actually thinking about why the enemy wants to stand in front of you even if he dies?"
Jiao Zhengyu raised his hand, and a paper fan appeared in his hand, and then hit Valentine on the head.
"Ouch."
The force transmitted by the paper fan was not great, but it almost knocked Valentine, who was leaning against De Shuang, askew. Just when he wanted to fight back, he looked up and found that the cat was already standing ten meters away.
"This is war, brother, war." Jiao Zhengyu was beating a paper fan in the distance, but his voice was close at hand: "As long as the enemy doesn't use his peculiar brain circuits to plot against you, he will be considered a war on the battlefield. Anyone slapped to death by you is not worth thinking about."
"Maybe you think these guys have hidden secrets behind them, or they just like to fight and want to die, but it's none of your business," Valentin received another blow from the paper fan on his head, even though the culprit was still standing ten meters away. With.
"does it matter?"
A slight pain came from the top of his head. Valentin scratched his hair, trying to refute Jiao Zhengyu's words, but couldn't find a word to say.
"It's a good thing to think about why your enemies stand against you. This means that you are beginning to explore your own way of governing the people, even if you are just taking the first step."
"A few days ago at the ruins of Qicheng outside Longmen, I told you why the integrated soldiers turned into such vicious and vicious people. It was because of this. They were originally screws in the state machine, but now they have become your enemies. For It’s important to be specific so you don’t make this mistake in the future.”
"But these Sarkarz."
The light gray shadow disappeared, and the world in front of Valentine returned to its original state, except that everyone and everything were frozen in place, still wearing the shackles of Jiao Zhengyu.
"They belong to Kazdale and are not in the same camp as you. Why do you worry so much?"
"Yes, I am from Rhode Island." Looking at the river of blood gathering on the ground, Valentine murmured in a low voice.
"No, you are from the Vaifan Alliance."
Jiao Zhengyu's words made Valentine's body tremble. He raised his head and looked at the costume film that suddenly appeared in front of him again.
"If in the future you are supported by a group of people and compete with other sons of destiny for the top spot in power, then the most orthodox and appropriate force standing behind you is the Waifan Alliance."
"At that time, you may be a king, or you may be a prime minister, and you control millions of people in several mobile city-states in a country. It's okay for you to think about this."
"After all, the Sakaz people may be your enemies. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy can lead to a hundred battles. Everyone in China understands this. I think you will take the initiative without my reminding you."
"But for now."
Jiao Zhengyu turned around and raised his hand.
"You are just a soldier on the battlefield, and the only relationship between the enemy and you is life or death."
"Either he lives or he dies, it's that simple."
"There is no need to think about this kind of problem that you can't touch at all now. Even if your understanding is extremely high, what will happen if you understand the reason why the Sarkaz mercenaries refuse to retreat? They are the blood shed by Kazdaele, that chaotic one The city-state is thousands of miles away from you, and you have never seen it and only know its name, what can you do?"
"This question makes sense when you're high enough, but right now it serves no purpose other than as a distraction on the battlefield."
He faced Valentin and looked directly into those ignorant eyes.
"Texas once taught you a lesson, the slightest distraction on the battlefield can lead to death."
"Because of my existence, you can think at any time without worrying about your life safety. Not only the advantages of Origin Stone skills, but also the spiritual space."
"But in the future..."
Jiao Zhengyu clenched the paper fan in his hand.
"I will gradually reduce the frequency with which I actively seek you out, so that you can correct this bad habit. Maybe at some point in the future, I won't show up at all except when you need to use the Origin Stone to buy things from me."
"Oh no?"
This surprised Valentine a little. Once Jiao Zhengyu appears in the real world, he will come to the spiritual space together. At that time, except for him, the whole world will be almost static. If you master it well, this is a skill that is even more buggy than immortality. As a result, the artificial intelligence suddenly developed. There is an announcement saying that it will be greatly reduced...
How uncomfortable this is.
Just when Valentine wanted to say something more, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and at the same time, the noise in his ears that was isolated by the spiritual space appeared again. Valentin turned around and saw Xing Yihuang's face. The girl nodded to him and quickly caught up with the heavy operator, leaving him alone standing there in a daze.
"Operator Valentine?"
Amiya noticed this little dragon who was just super brave and now sluggish, and shouted something in the communication channel. Jiao Zhengyu stood next to Valentin and glanced at him jokingly, then dissipated like smoke and disappeared.
"Ah...here he comes!"
When he came to his senses, Amiya was the only one waiting at the end of the corridor. Valentin kicked the tip of De Shuang's sword with his right foot and put it on his shoulder, quickly catching up with the team.
"Officer Chen should be on the upper floor. There are not many enemies around. Maybe she has eliminated some of them."
"understood."
The journey forward went smoothly, and the number of mercenaries was much smaller than at the beginning, probably because of Chen's visit. Along the way, the Rhode Island operators saw many corpses, and they were all killed with one blow, but they could also tell that Officer Chen was not in good condition. You must know that those guys who were knocked down by Chen just fainted when they first entered the city, and now she has killed them, which can only prove one thing.
Now Officer Chen can no longer accurately control the knife in her hand, and her physical condition may be more dangerous than Amiya expected. Valentin briefly glanced at the corpse on the ground and continued to charge upward without stopping. The Rhode Island operator followed him, running in the empty and quiet corridor. The sound of footsteps became more obvious and more suppressed.
There is a big stone weighing on everyone's hearts, getting heavier and heavier.
————————I really have you, Yingjiao————————
Leonid felt that from the moment he met Valentine, Lady Luck no longer paid attention to him.
He lost his position as the boss, and the gang reform plan exhausted him to death. Half of his face was destroyed in the Battle of Qicheng. He lurked for a long time and found that the Ursus officials were also on the opposite side of him. Finally, he became confused and started to resist Tallulah. Come on, your unit has been penetrated again.
Really penetrated, no exaggeration.
A few dozen minutes ago, under the leadership of the shield guards, Onid's team fought all the way from their stronghold to the outside of the core tower. Ordinary Integration Movement soldiers and a small group of Sakaz mercenaries were no match at all, compared with other Heta towers. The resistance forces that Lula's supporters fought fiercely were completely different, and it could be said that it was smooth sailing.
But just when they turned around to help others, a strange team appeared on the road, blocking their way.
That should be a team of Sakaz mercenaries, about twenty people. It's just that unlike the Sarkaz mercenaries they had killed, these people all had stone-like protrusions on their bodies, which looked like large chunks of Originium crystals, very much like those controlled by Mephistopheles. herd.
At first Leonid thought these people were herds, and he cursed secretly in his mind. Mephistopheles is a lunatic. Although he can defeat him, it is very difficult. Anfiya just wanted to move the team, but those "herds" rushed over, and they were among the crowd in the blink of an eye. , they were forced to start fighting with these people.
However, Leonid did not participate in the battle with the "herd". Instead, he found an opportunity to grease his feet and sneak into a building by the roadside. He is not afraid of these guys, but wants to find Mephistopheles who is commanding behind the scenes and kill him once and for all.
But who knows, Mephistopheles was not found and the team was almost gone.
"Old guy! There's something wrong with these people! They're not a herd!!"
Anfiya's voice reached Leonid's ears from the crowd, causing him to turn around and focus on the Sakaz mercenaries.
He only looked at it for two seconds before jumping down from the second floor, using his Origin Stone skills to open a path and run to Anfiya's side, dragging her back with Yefim who was beaten to pieces, and at the same time Shouting loudly for everyone to retreat.
"These people are not herds, they are Sakaz mercenaries! They can't be killed at all now, retreat! retreat!"
Damn, will the herd stand up to someone else's attack? ! Will the herds cooperate with each other? ! Would the herd fight so calmly and kill everyone who stood in its way? ! !
The herd will…
Bang!
A huge noise exploded among the crowd, followed by air waves carrying dust. Leonid pushed down Anfiya and Yefim, and used the Origin Stone technique to form a layer of ice behind the three of them, blocking the flying gravel.
But others are not so lucky. At the beginning, these guys were still full of confidence in the battle. After all, they had the shield guards and the series of victories just now to support their hearts. But when they saw the powerful power of the "herd" and the retreat of the shield guards, the confidence that supported these resisters still shattered into pieces and turned into the fear of death.
After all, humans are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Seeing the fact that it is impossible to win, they choose to escape and throw away their armor. But those Sakaz mercenaries did not want to let these people go. Although the shield guards held back their progress, they came up with more radical methods.
A guy who looked very strong picked up a broken beam from a ruin on the street and threw it out, successfully hitting the middle of the fleeing team. Anfya and Yefim were protected by Leonid, but those people could only rely on their own bodies to withstand the debris exploded by the beam.
For a time, dozens of people were lying on the ground, twisting their bodies and moaning softly.
Will the herd engage in this type of attack? ! When they throw stones, don't they pull out the Originium crystals from their bodies and throw them at the enemy? !
And, and…
What is the blood-red color surrounding these mercenaries? The power of the Patriot Altar? But the patriot is dead!
Or was that Mephisto's power? How could he keep his herd sane?
Leonid had already seen the power of this group of mercenaries in the one-sided massacre just now. Although they have the characteristics of a herd, and they will recover like a herd when injured, their wounds heal very quickly, almost as if they were back to their original state in a flash of red light, which reminded him of those who once shined in the gang war. Valentine.
There is still wisdom when the body mutates like this. The only people in this core city who can suppress them are the Rhode Island team.
damn it! Are all the shots in this world fucking top doctors?
"Wait, Shield...!"
Anfiya, who was dragged into the building, thought of something, but before she could finish her words, she was covered by Leonid beside her.
"Are you trying to kill us?!"
The old guy came close to Anfiya's face and whispered through gritted teeth. She felt that the scar on her teacher's face had never been so ugly at this time.
"But, but the shield guard..."
Soon, Leonid let go of his hand, and Anfiya was able to speak. She lowered her voice and tried to stand up to see what was going on outside, but was grabbed by the shoulders and unable to move.
"No need to look anymore."
His voice suddenly returned to its original state, no longer suppressed. Anfiya tilted her head, not understanding what Leonid was talking about.
"Shield guard... Shield guard..."
The streets were extremely quiet at this time, with only the sound of the wind blowing. The moans that fell to the ground were carried by the wind into the distance, and Anfiya couldn't hear them. Yefim knelt on the ground with his head exposed and looked at the street scene outside, as if he was stuttering. The last few words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out.
Anfiya glared at him, stood up and turned around.
In her field of vision, the shield guard was sitting on the ground, his dark red cloak swaying slightly in the wind, and the thick shield fell at his feet.
Blood flowed from the broken neck, flowing slowly along the armor like a stream into the blood lake on the ground. At the edge of this shallow red lake, a round thing stood there, with highlights flashing on its helmet.
Plop.
Anfiya sat on the ground, her eyes dull.
