Longmen Memoirs

Crow put down the map, picked up the telescope, and looked through the car window.

Reflections light up from time to time on the weathered rocks.

The six people on the opposite side were wrapped in a sand-colored cloak. Under the cloak were tactical vests and sand military boots. They wore sand-proof glasses around their necks. They held crossbows and scimitars at their waists. The car was parked opposite.

The leader is a Vaifan, who has a rough appearance and a conspicuous scar on the left side of his face. His dress is not much different from the others, except that there is a scimitar inlaid with rubies in the scabbard at his waist. .

"You are from Black Steel, Gamal Dubler. You can call me Gamal."

He held out his tactically gloved palm.

"I am the team leader, Snake, and this is my deputy, Crow."

Chen Mo held it and separated his hands.

"We have already understood the specific situation, Mr. Gamer." Chen Mo said: "But there are still a few questions I hope you can answer. The task I received is to assist you in your investigation and, if possible, recapture your lost materials. .”

Gamal nodded.

"Yes, it is indeed our commission."

Chen Mo's eyes stayed on the weapons in the hands of several people brought by the other party.

"Now it seems that you don't need our assistance very much. You have already done the investigation, right?"

"Yes, but I heard that Black Steel International is the top security company in the industry." Gamer waved, and someone pulled out a folded map from his tactical belt and handed it to him: "So let's cut the story short and talk. Be practical, Captain Snake."

He unfolded the map on the hood, with several red dots marked on it.

"This is our current location, seven kilometers away from the mission base we investigated. Your mission is to sneak in, find this thing, and then find a way to destroy it."

He took out some photos and placed them on the map.

"Mobile steam armor, an old product from Victoria. I heard that this thing has been discontinued. I didn't expect to see it here again. Can it be moved? It will be very troublesome to maintain."

Crow's slightly surprised words made Samael turn his attention to her.

"There is no need to maintain it, as long as it can move." Samael's face was solemn: "The other party did not know where they got three of these things from. If they are allowed to transport them, they will definitely cause us a lot of casualties, so we must Settle it here.”

He looked at Chen Mo.

"Our people are not good at stealth operations. Once discovered, it is likely to arouse the other party's vigilance and make them take action in advance. If they organize a manned raid, they will have to pay a huge price even if they succeed. Actions make a difference.”

Chen Mo took over.

"So you entrusted Black Steel with the reason that the supplies were robbed. Have you never thought about what will happen if we fail?"

"Black Steel is one of Sargon's most elite mercenary organizations. If even you fail, then I think we will have to give up the mine." Samael sighed: "If Lord Abed If you agree."

Chen Mo did not answer. He picked up the picture on the hood. The huge steam armor in the picture looked like a ferocious monster. This was one of the representative products of the early origin stone industry in this land.

After a few seconds, he put the picture down.

"What's your plan?" Chen Mo asked, "I mean, after we successfully destroy these things in the photo, how are we going to evacuate."

"I will act with you and serve as your guide." Samael held the handle of the knife at his waist: "The warriors from the territory will gather in the nearby mountains. Once you succeed, our people will attack this stronghold after sending a signal. .”

"When are you going to do it?"

"If you agree, my men will go back to gather their forces and we will be ready before sunrise tomorrow morning."

"In other words, the fastest we can take action is tonight." Chen Mo said.

"We don't have much time. They may notice our actions at any time. In order to keep it secret, I came here with a few people to meet you. Once the warriors in the territory take action, they will receive the news."

"In that case, you send your people back to inform them that we will take action tonight." Chen Mo said, "But the time has to be decided by me, and you have to be with us, okay?"

"of course."

Samael turned around and walked towards his team. There was chatter in Sargon's language. After a while, an off-road motorcycle in the team drove away with the wind and sand.

Crow walked to Chen Mo.

"How sure are you?" she asked.

"If it were the previous team, it would be about [-]%..." Chen Mo looked at the crow, then looked at the one-eyed wolf behind him who was holding his huge folding crossbow and adjusting it, and at the magician who was leaning on the car and looking at the setting sun above the windy sandstone.

"Now...[-]%, if you're lucky."

The crow scoffed.

Chen Mo seemed to remember something again, leaning against the engine of the vehicle and asked: "What is that steam you just mentioned? Tell me about it..."

"Steam armor?"

"Yes, steam armor, what do you mean?"

This was the first time for Chen Mo to see this kind of Originium industrial product used in war, and it was an old-fashioned model. In his past battles, he had very little experience in this area.

"As for the explanation, I haven't really seen it, but I heard that it is difficult to deal with. You can imagine it as a big heavy-armed operator. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen it." Crow breathed a sigh of relief: "This kind of old-fashioned I don’t know where they got the goods from, I can get some pieces as souvenirs when the time comes.”

"Is it expensive?" Chen Mo asked again.

Crow seemed to understand Chen Mo's thoughts instantly.

"It's quite expensive to treat it as an antique when it comes to hobbies. If it were shipped here, even an old model with serious wear and tear would cost at least a million." She said, waving her hand: "Do you want to get one? ?Forget it, I know you want money, but I advise you not to even think about it. It is impossible for us to keep a intact armor while infiltrating."

"If, I mean if, I turn it on, can you see if there is any trouble?" Chen Mo asked unwillingly.

"Can you drive?" Crow glanced at Chen Mo.

"...I can learn."

Crow clapped his hands.

"That's alright. I suggest you think carefully about how to increase your [-]% certainty to [-]%, captain."

Chapter 45 Infiltrating

Darkness is generally one of the most utilized forms of natural cover.

The darkness severely hinders people's vision. What can be seen at night is very limited, but this does not include people who try to take advantage of this layer of cover.

The stronghold is located in a low-lying valley. From the top of the cliff, you can see the lighted stronghold below. The height of the cliff is very high, about 70 meters by visual inspection. It is a weathered rock without any shelter and cannot be climbed with strength.

An observation post is set up in front of the stronghold. The entrance is narrow and the searchlight light is enough to detect them before they sneak past. It is also too time-consuming and risky.

A group of five people, plus Samael as a guide, and the five men he brought with him to take down an outpost with hundreds of people estimated to be there is nothing short of a dream. But fortunately, their goal is not to take down the stronghold, but to destroy it. If you drop the three armors inside, the feasibility will be much higher.

Chen Mo finally understood why Samael believed that organizing manpower to attack the stronghold would not be worth the gain. Just the narrow entrance and the three armors made it very difficult to break in.

"Do you know where those things are stored?"

Chen Mo put down his telescope and asked Samael who was lying aside.

"It should be in the warehouse in the center. My people told me that they saw a maintenance engineer coming out of it." Samael replied in a low voice.

"What's going on inside?"

"I don't know. Their defenses are very tight. Our people can't get past them and we can't know what it's like inside."

"You'll know if you go and see." The crow's voice suddenly sounded on the left side, and she touched it: "Isn't that why we came here?"

"Grizzly bears, are they ready?"

Crow gave a thumbs up.

"Everything is ready."

Chen Mo and Samael crawled backwards slowly.

Rock climbing pitons are nailed into the ground and circled around the thick rock several times, and long ropes hang down from the rock wall.

"Your people stay here and are responsible for assisting my magician and grizzly bear." Chen Mo tied the lock on his waist, picked up the prepared potent Originium bomb and said to Samael.

Samael nodded.

"No problem, you make arrangements."

He looked at the magician and the grizzly bear again.

"After we create chaos, you create explosions for the observers in front of the stronghold to attract their attention. Plant the bombs in advance. Salmai's people will assist you. If the situation goes wrong, retreat immediately. They won't be able to pursue them very far."

"clear."

"The one-eyed wolf stays here, we need your vision to observe the situation at all times." Chen Mo handed the radio to Samael, who put it on.

"Are you sure you want to join us?"

"You can rest assured that I won't be with you?" Samael asked, "Don't worry, I am the captain of the Lord's Guard and I won't hold you back."

"When will your men arrive?"

"They have already arrived. They are three kilometers away. If we send a signal here, they will be here in five minutes."

"That's good." Chen Mo nodded. He grabbed the rope, took one last look at the people in front of him, and gave a thumbs up: "The operation has begun, keep communicating."

The three of them descended along the rope. Under the cover of the night, it was difficult to see three tiny figures descending on the cliff.

Samael showed extremely skillful skills and attracted the attention of Crow Crow and Chen Mo. At least for now, it seems that the captain of the local lord's bodyguard is quite capable.

They crawled on the ground and spent more than ten minutes carefully approaching the stone wall of the stronghold. The wall was five meters high, and they could even faintly hear voices and noises coming from inside.

Lean against the wall.

The sound of a grizzly bear arriving at the designated location came through the headset.

Chen Mo pressed the radio: "One-eyed wolf reports the situation."

"Your position is safe."

Probably due to the special location of the dive, the other party did not guess that anyone would come down from the top of the cliff, or they guessed it, but thought that only a few people would not be able to overcome any storm.

In short, the arrangement of the commander of the stronghold gave Heigang's team an opportunity. They probably did not expect that the opponent's target was the three steam armors in their stronghold.

Inside the stronghold is a temporary camp, and its original appearance can still be seen. According to Samael, there was originally a group of sand bandits here. Maybe the body hanging in the center now was the original bandits. The leader.

The lights of the power generation equipment are not bright, and the area that can be illuminated is limited. However, the soldiers patrolling the rooftops at night proved that it is not that easy to get through, especially the closer to the factory, the denser the patrol density becomes.

They were leaning against the wall of the building, and the voices of people chatting in the room came from the Sargon language. Chen Mo pointed upward, and the crow carefully leaned over, peered through the window, and then retracted its head after a few seconds.

"Two, one is near the door, and the other is sitting at the table. The one in front of the table is not a big problem, but the one at the door is more troublesome."

"Are you going to take action?" Salmai asked in a low voice.

"Do you understand what they say?" Chen Mo asked Salmai.

"They said the food tonight was really bad, and...one of them's wife gave birth to a daughter." Salmai didn't say any more. He felt that these conversations were meaningless.

The soldiers of most local lords were mostly adult men selected from the territory, and there were few professional soldiers who had received formal military education.

Chen Mo pulled out the dagger from his waist.

"I'll go around to the door and leave the inside to you. Wait for my signal. Is there any problem?"

Crow nodded and also drew out the dagger.

"Don't kill yourself." Chen Mo reminded, and Crow waved his hand to urge.

Samael wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, there's still a long way to go." Chen Mo said, gradually walking along the wall to the door, with Samael following behind him.

Crow stood up slightly, clenched the dagger in his hand, and adjusted his breathing.

Chen Mo's voice rang from the radio. He rushed in from the door. With his back to the soldier beside the door, he was smiling and saying something. The dagger was in his mouth. Chen Mo covered his mouth and pushed him in, twisting his head with both hands. , the soldier's body softened, and Samael, who was following behind, closed the door.

The moment the soldier standing by the table saw Chen Mo's actions, he suddenly picked up the weapon on the table and stood up. Just as he was about to scream, a black-gloved hand covered his mouth from behind, and the scream Stopped abruptly.

Then there was a cold touch on his neck.

The task of formulating the idioms was given to Samael. He was the only one who could understand the local language. Even the Sargon language had its own slang terms depending on the region. For uneducated foreigners like Crow Crow and Chen Mo, People, they have no idea what the other person is saying.

The body was dragged behind the door.

After a while, Samael came over again.

"He said that the adults had something in the building in the middle. They were not allowed to get close. Only a few people could pass by. He often saw some outsiders dressed differently from them coming out of it."

"Outsider?"
