The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"I don't know, if it was the boss, he would have died on the spot."

"...That's true."

Oregana raised her right hand and wiped off the snowflakes on her face:

"The snow covered the top with a thin layer, and the corpse was not frozen with the ice below." She knocked on the floor, "It probably happened this week."

"There are a lot of transforming demons in the abandoned city of the Yajin people, and then someone hunted and killed the demons here." The voice of the captain of the guard, Monica Meredith, was full of interest, "And, in the ceremony We found three pastors at the scene, we killed one and captured one, and there is still no witness report on the other one. He is not in Neklavo, and there is a high possibility that he fled to this place. That is to say, the pastor and the hunter The demons are all around here now...the relationship between them should be bad, right?"

There are so many strange things, Oregana doesn't even know what expression she should use to face these things.

The priest who was forced to flee in a hurry, the city abandoned by the Yajin people, the unidentified demon hunter... Looking at this city under the snow-capped mountains, she realized that this matter might be more complicated than she thought before. higher.It doesn't seem that the Yajin people invaded the human world together with the Mek tribe. The Yajin people themselves seem to have had a big problem before.

As a result, neither the probe nor the two Statius-class cruisers that had just been put into orbit were able to scan the planet for many life signals similar to those of the previous priest.Most of the cities are empty, and only the signals of demons can be scanned inside, and these signals are all inert, and there is no sense of activity on the earth at all, as if the body has been hollowed out.

The life signals scanned exist in a few cities, and the number that can be determined so far is even less than [-]. Most of them are very similar to the reaction when Brisado Baishang appeared before—— Includes psionic waveforms.

Are the Yajins also on the verge of extinction?What the hell is going on in this world?

During the investigation, Oregana felt that it was like peeling an onion, peeling off layer by layer, and she didn't know how many layers there were. Every time a layer was peeled off, people would be shocked.

"The biological sensor on the orbit has started to work, but the interference is quite large. The subspace response is very strong, and there may be a permanent subspace crack nearby." After talking with the cruiser's driver, she said, "That priest It may be in this city, but we think it is more likely that it ran away after being teleported here."

Everyone's eyes drifted to this large-scale city, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

How to find such a big city?Finding two specific people in an abandoned city when the life sensing system is not effective is no less difficult than the Germans finding Soviet snipers hiding in street fighting.Moreover, they didn't just snipe to run away, with such a large area and such complicated terrain, they really didn't know where to run from - there must be more than one portal in this city.

A guard soldier murmured in a low voice:

"It would be nice to have a guide..."

But where is the guide?The only person who can be called a source of information is the priest.Oregana sighed, and connected to Dark Rock:

"How is Diar Lanark's mental state now?"

The sound on the dark rock was very noisy, because he was in the soul refining factory at the moment, and all kinds of noises emerged one after another.Even if you don't open your mouth to communicate with the communication network, the sound that echoes in the subspace will still penetrate.When Dark Rock realized this, he increased the output intensity and volume. To Oregana, he was yelling in his ears at the volume that greeted people on the other side of the football field, which made people's ears numb :

[The spirit has already begun to break, continue to push? 】

"Well, don't worry about it." Oregana frowned. She didn't care about the life and death of the priest. "Go on, we need to know the information about this city, and if possible, we can also bring out the map."

On the opposite side, the dark rock said noncommittally:

[It's a bit difficult, he's in a bad state right now... Anyway, I'll do my best. ] As he spoke, he gave instructions to the fire demon next to him.The fire demon raised the watermelon ice and slowly stabbed it into the pastor's stomach, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

Diar Lanark twitched all over, and said vaguely:

[This city is called the Goddess of Joy, a city connected to hell.Once, King Novik ordered the Night Guards and Doom Slayers to set off from here and go to hell...]

Oops... Opening the mouth is a ton of information.

"Huh? Wait?" Oregana had to interrupt him, and asked, "Who is the Novik king? The boss of the Yajin people? What is the night guard? Destroyer...not referring to the earth Go to those elite guards?"

【Judging from these materials, the Doom Slayer seems to be referring to a special individual, not to the more than 3000 psionic soldiers...】 Dark Rock smacked his lips vigorously after speaking halfway 【Tsk...】

"what happened?"

[The pressure was so severe that his spirit was down.I'm trying to get him back as soon as possible, but I can't guarantee how long it will take. 】Dark Rock shared the visual information with Oregana—on the restraint, the priest's eyes were severely congested and turned red, and his teeth were clenched tightly, as if to crush the molars【 His spirit has already been severely eroded, and he has been hammered and hammered by us. It is already very good to be able to survive until now. 】

"Relying on his intelligence to take Nekravo and reach the Ring of Nur is indeed good enough. Anyway, you should do your best. We are going to search here, and we may find potential allies."

【The witcher with the hammer? 】Dark Rock warned 【Be careful, if he really hates demons, he must have drawn a knife to chop you the moment he saw you. 】

"We'll keep an eye out."

In the following period of time, Oregana and her guards have been trudging through the ruins - not to say that this abandoned city is covered with mud and difficult to walk, and it is even very clean here.The hell plants and acid pools that are common on the earth are not here, and the activity of the demons is also very low. They basically just stand there blankly. Occasionally, a single young demon emerges from strange places. It can be solved.

However, there is still a headache here.

The reason lies in the complex terrain here.The buildings built on the mountain are layered on top of each other, and the houses may be separated by an ultra-deep canyon, and the overpass on the canyon has been broken... The overpass broken in the deep canyon completely covers the door openings and entrances and exits The heavy snow made the search more difficult. Even though the cruiser provided support for scanning the map, the progress has been slow.Everyone spent a lot of time and energy, just like Mario, jumping back and forth from rail to rail, building to building, mountain to mountain with the help of propulsion packs and hook locks.I jumped into the window in mid-air, and then found that the bottom was basically collapsed. At the very moment, I grabbed the decorative pillar and flipped onto the platform next to it, and then watched the person who didn't catch it fall for tens of meters, and even one of them didn't pay attention from the other side. The window knocked out and fell off the cliff, so he could only fix himself on the cliff and try his best to jump back.

It was not until the support of the flying motorcycle was called from the rear that it was slightly better-jumping more than ten meters from the building, jumping out the window to grab the flying motorcycle and then go to the next point. It is actually not that difficult if you are proficient.

I don't know how this city was built in the first place... The people who built this city are probably players of "Super Mario Maker".

An hour and a half after entering the city, the investigative team arrived at a fourth building that looked like a temple.There is a corridor running through this building. On both sides of the corridor are tall statues of warriors with barrel helmets. They stand on both sides of the corridor with swords, which reminds Oregana of the Ole she made on the Tiamat. Janna Corridor.

I really miss it...

After the new Titan is built, I will do it again. (nod)

The temple looks like it has been cleaned recently and looks clean.There was an empty throne at the end of the hallway, and even though it had been swept clean, it was still full of the marks of time.A book in a thick cover, smeared with dried blood, looked particularly noticeable on the armrest.

"what is this?"

"Book?"

Oregana opened the cover, and the handwritten text inside came into view. Rather than saying it was a 'book', it should be something like a diary written by someone.According to the translation function provided by the implant, she translated the text of the Yajin people into a common language and read it——

【Betrayed from the darkest depths of my self, I was deceived by Diaxiu Society because of greedy dreams and desires. 】

[The priests from the north have allied with me to join the cause of resisting Queen Mek and preventing her from doing what she wants.They are eloquent, made plans for us, and planted the seeds of eagerness for quick success.They claim to have known that Meck's source of power lies within the Demon's Realm; a vast soul factory where innocents are thrown into fire to extract their essence. 】

【Destroy it, victory will belong to us, they said. 】

【We were so stupid, I was so stupid, to believe their lies. 】

[According to what they said, we sent the Doom Slayer and the Night Guard to destroy the factory, and the priest opened the way for them. 】

[When the last guard veteran entered the territory of the Demon Empire, which was our last hope to regain our rule, the Diaxiu Society closed the passage and trapped all the guards.They fell into a trap, and the actions of the traitor left them lost in eternal nothingness. 】

[Why can't I see their attempt?Is it the loss of Taras Nabad, the loss of my people, too much grief to blind my eyes? We fled again, with only a handful of Nightguard left to protect us.The priests of Di'ar departed and returned to their mistress. 】

[I hope the ghosts can forgive my failure. 】

The author was probably very annoyed when he wrote these words. It can be seen from the handwriting that his hands are shaking, and many places are stained with brown stains, giving people a rather bad feeling.Just by looking at those words, one can feel the confusion and pain in the writer's heart at that time.

"Who wrote this?" Liu Lizi asked curiously, "Is it from the Yajin people?"

"Maybe it's the Novik king." Oregana murmured, remembering the last piece of information squeezed out by Priest Di'a before his mental breakdown, "Send Doom Warriors and Night Guards to destroy the factory...the factory should point Nekravo was the one who did it. We'll do it for him. But Doom... Doom Slayer, isn't that John Grimm?"

John Grimm’s experience is the Doom Slayer that he knows, from the battle on Mars to the following [Why is the bunny so cute and kill the bunny (raise the shotgun)] can be right.But that Doom Slayer is [-]% a human from Earth, and has nothing to do with any cosmic beings, future human beings, superhumans from another world—except that he is really good at fighting.

And it was the first time Oregana heard the name Doom Slayer.In the past, everyone called Doom Soldier DOOM GUY. When mentioning Slayer Oregana, the first thing that comes to mind is a guy who takes killing goblins as his top priority in life.Speaking of which, that guy wears a helmet and never sees his face...

If John Grimm isn't Doom Slayer, who is Doom Slayer?

Seeing Oregana lost in thought, Nyarlathotep said:

"I think there must be some connection between the two, but that's not the point right now. We need to find the demon hunter... not your orbital bombing experts out there."

Is Doom Slayer the witcher you're looking for right now?Oregana herself is not sure:

"We think he might be watching us in the dark, we have to be careful." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Nyarlathotep's dull hair straighten suddenly, and then pointed to A hallway in the back "...huh?"

Seeing the reaction of the evil god's radar, everyone raised their guns and decisively formed a circle with their muzzles out.

"The distance is very close." Nyarlathotep pulled out the chain saw and rang it. "The spatial fluctuation is very strong, and I can't locate it accurately."

"Probably teleported in again." Oregana pulled out the battle ax from the weapon hanger on the back waist. "The demon who will be thrown in directly through space teleportation is not a powerful character. We can just grab a tongue. Maybe Or something like Bressado."

The example of Bresado Baishang proved that the opponent will capture the psyker and convert it into a demon with powerful combat power for use, but if the time is not long, some special means can be used to turn it back into a human.Therefore, when encountering this type of demon, it is best to capture it alive. Both 76 and Dark Rock believe that Bressado remembers what happened in hell before, and the value of this information can be said to be unparalleled, but now Bressado has not recovered to the point where she can be questioned, and her consciousness is still intermittent. From time to time, Naz is taking care of her with the nurse.Perhaps in the next few days, she will recover well.

So, when the demon emerged from the red light, Oregana raised her left hand to signal the others not to shoot.The demon's equipment was exactly the same as Bressado's at that time, with the armor covering the chest, exposing the abdomen and half of the shoulders, holding a red tomahawk in his hand, and a shield generator on the left forearm.But unlike Bressado, his degree of erosion is already quite high - this demon's skin is pale, with two curved horns on the top of his head, and on his skull-like face, two bright red eyes exude danger. of light.

Holding his tomahawk, he walked in front of everyone indifferently, ignoring more than twenty guns.This obviously shows his confidence in his own strength, and he does have the capital for such confidence.Oregana remembers very clearly that the light shield that Bressado deployed before has extremely high strength, and Naz's attack is completely ineffective against it, and she can directly contact and compete with her own repulsive field, if it is an ordinary soldier I'm afraid it will be difficult to penetrate that shield with a shooting weapon.Coupled with its own reaction speed, strength, and psionic power, this demon transformed from an elite psionic soldier can indeed face more than 20 marines calmly.

But... Obviously he doesn't know what the crouching Chaos is, nor does he know what Khorne is, and he doesn't know what the cat's claw badge on the left shoulder of these marines and the eight-pointed star on the right shoulder mean.If he knew what it meant, he probably wouldn't appear in front of everyone with this boss-like attitude. (far eye)

He looked at Oregana and said in a hoarse voice:

"Are you the intruder? I thought it was the traitor."

"An elite guard again?"

Oregana held the battle ax in both hands, and put on a stance—the battle with Bressado gave her a little idea of ​​what equipment this kind of demon has, what its effects are, what it can do, and what it can do less than.Then it might not be difficult to capture him alive.

"..."

The moment the opponent saw Oregana's posture, he immediately raised his double-barreled shotgun, aimed at Oregana and shot the hook, and at the same time deployed the light shield and charged forward at an astonishing speed.

Oregana was already prepared for this, she raised her left wrist slightly, a series of dazzling high-energy particle beams shot towards the demon's feet, the impact and fragments from the explosion hit his ankle and calf, forcing him to let go. Go slow.In the next instant, Oregana's chopping ax had slammed into the light shield:

"Be honest! Don't be like that rabid fox! Liu Lizi! Get ready to catch summons!"

"learn!"

The powerful force forced the demon to retreat, and the effect of Khorne's slashing ax on psionic energy made the light shield start to shake not long after it lasted.A surprised expression appeared on the demon's sunken and shriveled face. He let go of the shotgun, swung the light shield sideways, and swung away Oregana's chopping axe. Split vertically.

But Oregana's reaction was faster than his. She took a step forward and raised her hand to grab the handle of the tomahawk, and then slammed into the demon's arms, and the sound of ribs breaking suddenly sounded.The strong impact and pain forced him to let go of his weapon and fall backward, and the battle ax that could eject the light blade had already reached Oregana's hands.

She is now like a barbarian warrior, holding two-handed weapons, and crossing the two battle axes above her head. The red light of similar color is more dazzling when it approaches - it feels like the next attack will not be able to bounce the knife :

"Surrender? If you don't surrender, we'll hack you to death with a ghost-man flurry! I'll give you three seconds to decide!"

It sounds like an old hunter...even with a hunting cat.

However, the demon didn't know Monster Hunter, and he didn't intend to surrender. He propped up his light shield and held the shotgun in one hand, as if he planned to fight again.Oregana could feel an extremely strong desire to fight from him, and he considered Oregana's persuasion and being knocked to the ground and having his weapon taken away as an extreme insult.

A single-minded guy... After becoming a demon, not only did he lose the ability to distinguish the strength of his opponent, but he didn't even know how to judge the situation?

Oregana took a step forward, intending to chop off his limbs next - no matter how manic the guy was, this would calm him down.Kira Yamato of another world line highly respects this approach, regardless of whether it will conflict with his "don't kill" concept in terms of results (for example, if you become a super assist king or something, just find a way to follow Kira Yamato If Yamato is not discovered and does not show hostility, then it is not a dream to become a double, triple or even four trump card after a battle), but at least the effect at that time will be very good.

However, before she could make a move, she sensed an extremely secret killing intent.The next moment, the approach siren sounded suddenly——

A figure sprang out from another corridor, his position was right behind the demon, and the demon's attention was all on Khorne, who was wielding a battle-axe, and he didn't know what was going on behind him.Oregana watched as he raised his familiar double-barreled shotgun like lightning, and fired his claws at the demon.

"Um?!"

The claw hit the demon's back impartially, and purple and orange flames immediately covered the demon's whole body, and the severe pain made him roar loudly:

"Hmm! Hmm-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!!"

The figure operated the winch, pulling the hooked demon toward him like a fisherman, pulling the trigger when it was close enough to fire.With a loud bang, the back of the demon was ripped apart, and even the spine was shattered, and the demon fell face down on the ground.Only then did Oregana see clearly that the figure was an old man with white hair.He was blind on one side, and wore armor very similar to the elite guards, with small launchers on his shoulders, but no helmet.Instead, he wears a fur, which may keep him warm in the cold.

He strode towards the demon still struggling on the ground, and pulled out a two-handed hammer from behind. The red flash on the translucent hammer head was no different from the battle ax used by the demon.He raised his two-handed hammer high, aimed at the back of the devil's head and smashed it hard, blood spattered all over the place in an instant.

Oregana immediately understood—this is the witcher, the one who smashed a large number of demons with a hammer.

"who are you?"

"I am... a sinner who will never be forgiven, you can call me Valen." He did not put down the hammer, but waved nervously at Oregana and the others, "Stranger, come with me, This is not a place to stay for a long time. Queen Meck may have noticed this place!"
