Alien paradise

Fog area, southwest of Gray Hill Mine, inside the abandoned mine tunnel.

The two most elite groups of the City Guards are encircling a newly discovered anti-thief camp. This is the fourth camp they have discovered. Judging from its location at the bottom of the mine tunnel, this should also be the last one.

The bombardment of bullets vibrated back and forth in the long and narrow passage, which was a huge test for everyone's ears. The counterattack of the rebels was also particularly tenacious. The city guards organized several assaults but were beaten back by the opponent.

——Yes, the enemy is also equipped with muskets.

God knows where they got these weapons.

"Look out, thunder!" someone shouted.

What followed was an earth-shaking roar! The bright fireball almost turned the mine tunnel into daylight, but just a second later, the flames were replaced by black smoke, and the scorching blast wind made countless gravel crackle.

"Ahem...ahem..." Adjutant Woody leaned behind the bunker, choking on the thick smoke with tears and snot flowing out of his nose. Fortunately, the exhaust shafts in these abandoned passages can still be used, otherwise no one would be able to survive another few explosions. Go down.

This is the fourth day of cleaning.

They searched from hills to depressions like a sieve, and then switched from ground combat to underground combat. Woody thought this was an easy military training operation, but he did not expect that the resisters' fighting determination was far stronger than he expected. What made him even more uneasy was that before Sandra announced the start of the attack, no one expected that there would be such a group of underground forces not far from Glory Castle! The other party is mainly composed of Triton miners. They use the abandoned mine tunnels as their hiding place and secretly accumulate strength. If it weren't for this clean-up operation, God knows what shocking things this group of people would have done!

"Damn, they still have explosives!"

"Nonsense, how can they live without this thing about digging mountains and blasting mines?"

The soldiers complained to each other and started clearing the passage again - every time the enemy used mines, they could temporarily block the attack of the city guards. This made it difficult for the latter to break through the opponent's defense line even though they had more powerful firepower.

Even Woody had to admit that fighting in a dark mine was much more troublesome than fighting pirates.

"Report, Wright's reconnaissance team discovered a passage into the enemy camp from the side." At this time, a subordinate reported.

Upon hearing this news, Woody perked up, "Where are the three groups? Let them follow Wright and try to distract the enemy's attention -"

"That's not necessary." Suddenly a familiar voice interrupted his order, "Your reinforcements have arrived."

Woody turned around and found that the person who came was none other than Gawei, the priest of the Divine Machine Cult.

She was seen holding an oil lamp alone, without any followers around her. Under the flickering flames, the black iron nails on her lips and ears seemed to glow faintly.

If anyone else had come alone and claimed to be reinforcements, they would have been scolded by Woody. However, when the priestess said this, no one at the scene dared to deny it.

Because they have all seen the power of this priest.

"Excuse me...where is Lady Sandra?" Woody asked in a low voice.

"She is presiding over the trial meeting of cultists and will not be able to care about you for a while. Although we all know that those things have nothing to do with cultists, the people are like this - it is better to get a false answer than no answer at all. "Ge Wei shrugged, "So...I'm here again."

"Master Priest, please be careful what you say! You cannot say this..."

"Are you loyal to the Commander?" She raised her lips.

"Of course!" Woody replied immediately. Not only him, but other city guard soldiers who participated in the attack also nodded.

"So as long as you don't spread it around, what's the difference between what I said here and what I didn't say?" Gewei chuckled. She seemed to like seeing everyone's dilemma. "That's enough nonsense. The enemy is here. where?"

"At the end of this passage, the camp is a mining rest area. The number of enemies is about -" Before Woody could finish, he saw that the priest had taken off the silver cross from his back and strode toward the bottom of the cave.

There were rubbles everywhere under her feet, and the walls had been blown into many places, but she was not affected at all. She could even jump on the angular stones; the weapon she was carrying was weighed by Woody before. , the weight is almost the same as that of an adult male, but it feels like there is no weight on her!

"Follow quickly and cover the priest!"

Woody immediately picked up his gun and followed him.

The moment Gewei appeared at the entrance of the cave, the enemy's firearms roared!

The priestess held the cross upright in front of her, blocking most of the bullets that were fired. Then the cross began to emit a strange silver light, as if there was an outline around the body.

coming soon! Woody couldn't help but hold his breath——

Gewei lifted the cross and pointed the longer end forward.

Then the silver light was like an extremely fast crescent ripple, sweeping across the enemy camp with lightning speed! It seems to be ejected from the cross, and it also seems to be the result of the sharp enlargement of the silver outline. And this ripple is like a solid solid wall, shattering all obstructions in its path!

This is the power of arcane artifacts!

No matter how many times he saw it, Woody would always feel envious.

Even if it is only a third-class strange structure, it will greatly improve the holder's ability. If the cross fell into the hands of an ordinary person who could activate the arcane artifact, this blow alone would be enough to shatter him to pieces.

After clearing the obstacles, Gewei threw down the oil lamp and began to fight head-on with the surviving enemies - and Woody couldn't praise this part, because the cross now became the most unpretentious blunt weapon in the hands of the priest. She was seen dragging her seemingly thin body, rushing left and right in the ruins swept by the silver light. Even if the person hit by the cross did not die on the spot, he would be at least partially disabled.

Woody didn't understand why she wanted to fight the enemy in close combat when she could have stood there and ended the battle cleanly. In the end, she was covered in blood and might even be injured.

But the opponent is a master-level priest after all, and his combat ideas are not something he can comment on. The only thing he can do at this time is to share the firepower for Gawei and clear the battlefield. He rushed out of the cave, raised his arms and shouted, "We are coming too, be careful of the cold shots on both sides! If the situation permits, remember to leave one alive!"

Facing the fierce attack by the priests and city guards of Shenji Cult, this group of Triton miners were quickly defeated. Screams kept coming and going, and the resistance became weaker and weaker.

When Woody found Gewei again, he found that she was covered in blood, and the cross was even more bloody. God knows how many people's skulls she had smashed with this thing.

Opposite her sat a man from the Triton Tribe. This man had lost all his legs. It was not known whether he was crushed by Gawei or cut off by the silver light. His eyes were fixed on the priest, and the hatred in his eyes was almost visible to the naked eye.

"We have already lost, there is no need to hold on. Tell me, where are the Hidden Mist Cultists hiding? How many are there?" Gewei half-crouched in front of the opponent and asked calmly, her expression and tone were the same as those of her bright red skirt. The display looked out of place.

"……Pooh!"

It took a lot of effort for the man to spit out a mouthful of blood foam from his mouth.

Gewei refused to dodge and allowed the blood foam to fall on her face.

"Actually, I have no opinion on your resistance. It doesn't matter if you want to gang up to survive or fight against Gaotian Mining Company, but cultists are different - they are enemies of all living things, and allowing cultists to do evil will lead to the complete destruction of the world. "She continued, "Of course... it may be a little inappropriate to say destruction, because the world itself still exists, but we are no longer us. Therefore, in order to avoid this fate, all creatures who collude with cultists must be severely punished. , whether you are an ordinary person or a Triton."
