Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

Awakened by Weinert's roar and mon3tr's roar, the silent military camp suddenly became restless. Hamilton drew out his saber and took the lead to block Wayne's camp. Soon, the garrison also gathered around the camp, fully armed. on alert.Kelsey and Teresia ran forward panting, looked Wei En up and down, and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I was just shocked."

Wayne pursed his lips, his face was still a little pale. This was the first time he was assassinated since time travel.Still on the land of Victoria, in a barracks of Victorian soldiers, he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"Where's the guy who called me just now?"

"Here, Your Highness." Hamilton wiped the cold sweat off his brow, walked into the tent, turned sideways to let Wayne see him, pointed to the body lying on the ground outside the tent, and said, "It's dead, it seems It was silenced."

Lying on the ground was a nondescript Filin man, wearing a Victorian military uniform, holding only a standard saber in his hand.

Wayne frowned and shook his head: "It's not him."

The person who shot and attacked him just now was not this Feilin.He doesn't even have a crossbow bolt in his hand, and...

Wayne looked at mon3tr at the side, this origin stone behemoth was surrounded by guarded soldiers, its overly huge body and hideous appearance were too frightening, coupled with the constant voice coming from its mouth The displeased growl, if Kelsey hadn't been controlling it, Wayne had no doubt that it would kill the soldiers who drew their weapons against it.And the root of its irritability lies in the "crossbow arrow" on its head.

It is not so much a crossbow bolt embedded in mon3tr's head as it is a wide-bladed sword. The thick black iron material and the simple and unpretentious sword body pattern make it difficult to see that this is actually true from the blade alone. It is a crossbow bolt used for shooting, but it will remind you of the great swordsman troops in Sarkaz or the weapons of the centurion.If it weren't for the shocking sound that Wayne clearly heard, no one would attribute the assassination to a sniper attack, but would think that the film in front of him was holding a big sword and trying to cut Wayne in two from behind.

"To be able to use this kind of dark iron epee as a crossbow arrow, the size of the "bow" used must be extraordinary." Kelsey analyzed, "There is no suitable crime tool around this film, mon3tr and I can also confirm It is impossible for him to transfer weapons in such a short period of time. It is true that he is not the perpetrator himself, and the real assassin has not yet emerged."

"However... this assassination method..." Kelsey pondered.Teresia immediately asked:

"Do you have any clues?"

Kelsey looked at Theresia, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, and said, "I can't be sure yet. If it's really the group of people I think, the second assassination may happen at any time. And a comparison It’s impossible to guard against once.”

She looked at Wayne, and seriously suggested: "Your Highness, can you put aside the matter of looking for His Highness Wei Cao for now, we need to give priority to ensuring your safety."

Wayne opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally nodded helplessly, acquiescing to the judgment.

Reed grass will not be in danger for the time being. Judging from Weinert's words, reed grass's current status in the deep pool is not low.As long as he conquers the deep pool by himself, sooner or later he will be able to see the reed grass again.However, the shadow brought about by this assassination was the sword of Damocles hanging over Wayne's head. Wayne must first catch the murderer and ensure his own safety.

He is now the real backbone of Victoria, and he needs to shoulder this responsibility and be responsible for his own safety.

........

Victoria, the outer suburbs of Hill County.

The aged Kuranta was dressed in a thick old leather jacket, wore a certain cowboy wide-brimmed hat on his head, held an old pipe in his mouth, and had calluses on his hands holding the bowstring. He looked like an ordinary The old Orion.If only his longbow wasn't so "unique".

The fully mechanized bow body is about as wide as a human's forearm, and every decimeter will bury a magic conduction device made of the pure origin stone as the core. The source stone can relay the device to ensure that the transmitted spell will not lose its power due to energy dissipation on the way. The conduits of the three relay devices are gathered at the rifling of the arrow and the bow. The great wizards will call it incredible when they see it.

And on the wide rifling line, the crossbow bolts carried are exactly the same style as the unpretentious black iron epee that Wayne saw!

"call--"

Taking a long breath, the aged Kuranta narrowed his eyes, and looked towards the tent that was almost four or five moving blocks away. His pupils, which were already a little cloudy due to old age, exuded a bright light, and he caught the crowd from the crowd at a glance. The blond boy among them.After staying on Wayne for a short moment, he turned his head again and looked at the huge origin stone beast beside Wayne.

"The speed is faster than my arrows, and the defense power directly took over my sniper attack, and the durability seems to be alive and kicking. What the hell is that?"

The old Kuranta sighed from the bottom of his heart, but he knew very well in his heart that the assassination mission this time would most likely not be completed.He looked skyward, put his hand to his mouth, and whistled like a real old hunter.After being called, the feathered beast hovering in the sky slowly descended, and finally landed on his shoulder.

"Go and tell the Grand Duke that the mission failed. There are unmentioned guards around Wayne, let him figure it out, and contact the operator."

"Warn him by the way, I will accept what you promised me."

"People in front, come down for me!"

Suddenly, a loud yell sounded from the foot of the mountain. The old Kuranta narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the garrison camp again to confirm that there was no change in Wayne. Then he was relieved and changed his expression, like It was an ordinary old hunter who turned his head and said with a smile:

"My lord, what do you need to ask me..."

His voice stopped abruptly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his smile froze on his face.

At the foot of the mountain, stretching for several miles, the fully armed Victorian army, who could not see the edge at a glance, was watching him uniformly.

And at the forefront of the army, not far behind the soldier in charge of shouting, a Sarkaz with short pink hair and a stern face was silently looking at himself.

The old Kuranta swallowed, trying to explain something.The next second, I saw Tracy's mouth slightly hooked, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Kuranta, with a bow, dressed as an Orion, and the League of No Helms?"

"Let me guess, what rank are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Sin Pardoner!"

Tracy yelled abruptly.The old Kuranta's face changed, and he stepped back and jumped off the other side of the cliff.At the same time, the absolution master who followed Teresis drew out the long sword at his waist, dividing morning and evening, and cutting off day and night. It was not a single cut that focused on reality, but a silent cut that directly hit the soul and split the empire of consciousness. out.

Chapter 27 Tracy: It can all be blown up!

"Cough cough... hiss—"

Xuan Tie covered his chest, coughed a few times in a low voice, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and poured it into his mouth, wiped the yellow liquid medicine remaining at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice :

"Knowing that the Forgiveness Master is difficult to deal with, I have learned a lot today. I don't have any injuries on my body, but the more I beat him, the more I feel weaker."

He covered his heart, feeling his slow heartbeat, and waves of exhaustion hit his brain. For a master assassin who made his fortune as an assassin and walked on the sword, this was not a good sign.

As he said, the female absolutionist next to Tracy never actually hit him with a single sword. Every time she swung her sword, Xuan Tie could dodge it in the shortest time and pull her back again. Keep your distance and launch a counterattack.But for some reason, even so, Xuan Tie still felt that his physical strength was constantly passing away.

The female absolver code-named Shining, her speed of drawing her sword is not fast, it is nothing compared to the speed of black iron dodging, but she does not seem to have the extravagant desire to cut every sword. In fact, the power of the soul escaping from the scabbard shows the extraordinaryness of the branch-shaped long sword. Even if it misses the enemy, it can reduce the enemy's physical strength invisibly.

Or to be more mysterious, the target of the long sword that absorbs all the surrounding light and swung it as if it is dawn and dusk is actually the soul?

"I can't spend any more time with her."

Xuan Tie gritted his teeth, holding on to his increasingly weak, empty body as if it had been drained dry, and stood up with the help of the tree trunk.Perhaps the potion he drank had some effect, and his face regained a bit of blood, and his spirit gradually recovered.

Now this area is far away from Xiaoqiu County, and infinitely close to the wilderness area. It is impossible for the pink-haired Sarkaz man to lead an army into this barren mountain without supplies. The series of temptations, the sinner named Shining, is not very good at tracking.As long as he hid in it and lurked for two or three days, Tracys had no choice but to retreat after searching for nothing.

As for how to spend these two or three days.Xuan Tie had planned for a long time.Do you really think his Orion outfit is for nothing?

Although the dignified founder of the Wuzhen League, one of the three black iron dignitaries, was chased by people on the Victorian border and had to enter the wasteland to survive in the wilderness, it is a bit embarrassing to say it, but in order to survive, social Compared with death and physical death, Xuan Tie must still choose the former.

Besides, if someone refuses to accept it, you can also go up there yourself and meet the [-] Victorian army, and you are guaranteed to have your good juice.

Having made up his mind, Xuan Tie dug a hole on the spot, buried his heavy crossbow in it, and covered up the traces of the cave with the surrounding soil to ensure that no one could see the abnormality here.Finally, he took out his knife, climbed up the tree, and carved a mark of the Wuxu League in the middle of the trunk. After checking his arrangement with satisfaction, he ran into the woods without looking back.

After about ten minutes, Shining followed the traces left along the way and tracked here.Surrounded by a dense jungle, layers of bushes blocked the view, and towering trees also blocked the sunlight, causing the light in the forest to always flicker. The high-end killer secretly shot cold shots.

After tracing this point and the traces ended, Shining reluctantly let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, and switched to the communicator that Tracy had obtained from the Victoria Quartermaster.

"Chairman, lost track."

Tracy's voice came from the communicator very quickly, and she wasn't too surprised. She just corrected her and said, "We are at war now, so call me a general. It's the same as calling me the principal in the academy."

"Understood, Chairman." Shining replied, "Chairman, request for the next step?"

"I told you to call the general... Forget it." Tracy was used to having so many thorns under his command.Sarkaz's personalities are probably very unique. Muyan is a jerk, Sylter is an aunt, the devil is a cat slave, and even the heir of the Banshee Lord is said to be a neutral man who likes to wear high heels and black silk. .One more makes no difference.As long as she doesn't cause trouble for herself, she can be obedient...

It's better than being disobedient and causing trouble and having a personality.There is no harm without comparison, and Tracy is still brooding about being put together by Mudstone and Stelter in the college office.

"Retreat."

Tracy ordered briefly, and hung up the communication before Shining answered.

Of course he knows the plan of the leader of the Wuxuan League Xuantie. In the past, facing this kind of tactics of hiding in the mountains and blindly fleeing to avoid the battle, he really didn't have much to do. After all, searching the mountains takes time and manpower , even if it can be caught, it may delay Wayne's itinerary, which will affect the overall situation.But now...

Run, run, run? (x)

Cannon cannon! (√)

He turned around, looked at the Victoria soldiers who started to move under command, and urged:

"Go faster."

Soon, the installation of each door was completed, and the 120mm-caliber Victorian mortar "Lion Roar" was neatly placed in front of the dense forest mountains. After receiving the "retreat complete" signal from the Shining, special Resis took a deep breath, couldn't hide his excitement and raised his hands to cover his ears.

"Fire! Blow me down this mountain!"

"boom--!"

The Royal Army deserves to be a truly elite force in Victoria. As a fully mechanized force that truly realizes modern warfare, their army discipline is far from comparable to that of the general garrison in Hill County. Tracys ordered that all gunners, reload Hands, calibrated hands almost every second, completed a series of complex tactical actions in a uniform manner, accompanied by a blast that resounded through the sky, the heavy originium mortar "Lion's Roar" showed that its cannon was as good as its name of terrifying power.Visible to the naked eye, rounds of shells have been baptized from bottom to top in front of the mountain. After special processing, the real high-energy stone shells that are far more powerful than dirty bombs are activated during collisions, leaving a hole on the mountain with one shot. The huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters, whether it is trees, earth and rocks, or fine steel, black iron, was all blasted into the sky with the sound of the cannon.

And this is just the first round of shelling!

Tracy was panting heavily, he felt so high right now!Cannonballs, flames of war, blasting into the sky, physically erasing any obstacles in front of him, this feeling is what he wants most, and it belongs to the true romance of Sarkaz.

It's a pity that once the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold is given. Sarkaz doesn't have that much money, nor does he have that many cannons.Recalling the war in which he had to fight on the battlefield with swords, bows and crossbows, Teresis suddenly felt disgusted. Only the turret is the romance of a man, and this kind of roar is the most beautiful music. , in the whole world, probably only Victoria can play this war symphony so unrestrainedly!

It's a pity, it's a pity, Wayne doesn't seem to have any plans to sweep the court.But this is not important, although it is just an experience card, Tracy also wants to enjoy the rich battle that may only happen once in this life!

"The second round of shelling, get ready! Bomb, everything can be blown up!"

He said loudly, and let go of his hands covering his ears. Even if the roar of the cannon might shatter his eardrums, he still wanted to listen to the thunderous sound in his ears.

The second round of shelling seemed to shrink the entire mountain an inch.There is not even a single bit of flat ground to be seen on the mountain.The direction of the shelling was all the remains of loess and tree roots that were buried deep in the ground, but were lifted up by the shelling at this moment.However, it wasn't over yet, and the third round of shelling followed after a short one-minute cooldown.

"boom!--"

With the last roar, the artillery unit got up in one order, began to cool down the muzzle, and dismantled the fort.Looking at the mountain in the distance as if it had been chewed by a god, it changed from the shape of "mountain" to the shape of "stop", and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"Close the team, continue to Xiaoqiu County, and meet with my brother-in-law today."

Chapter 28 Dark Iron 3-1

"Woo-ah-"

Xuan Tie tremblingly dug up the soil buried on his body, and climbed out of the gun pit with difficulty.He didn't have a single piece of good flesh all over his body, and he looked like a ferocious blood man. His life was flowing with the blood gushing from the wound, and the feeling that his strong body was gradually becoming weak made him feel sincere. Panic and trembling.A scream came out from the burned throat that had swallowed an unknown amount of shell dust and mud. However, no one would respond to his screams in front of the mountains that had long been empty.

Xuan Tie probably couldn't figure it out in his entire life, why would someone be extravagant enough to use mortars directly to lower the altitude of the entire mountain just to catch one person?And after blowing up the whole mountain, he didn't even have the interest to go up the mountain to search for him, so he walked away, as if Tracy's act of blowing up the mountain was just a firepower test on the spur of the moment, just happened to be destroyed along the way. Own.

It is already an earth-shattering miracle that Xuan Tie can survive the carpet bombing of intensive artillery fire, but the miracle will obviously not help him all the time. If no one notices him, there will be countless serious injuries all over his body, and his soul will also suffer. He was severely wounded by the Absolutionist, unable to move on his own, and sooner or later he would die in this nameless wilderness on the border of Victoria because of his injuries.

Thinking of his own fate, Xuan Tie couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face.One of the dignified black iron dignitaries of the Casimir Unarmored League, one of the few strong men in Terra, and an existence comparable to Pegasus with the silver spear, now he wants to die alone in a foreign country, not with his lifelong enemy knight The nobles died together, not because they were defeated head-on in the face of an invincible enemy, but because they were bombarded by dozens of mortars from hundreds of meters away.

This is not a way of death that fits the status of "Master Assassin".

Or is the era of assassins and knights really over?

Xuan Tie looked up at the low-level source stone cloud formed by the ashes left after the source stone bomb exploded in the sky. Those source stone clouds were not dense enough to form a second natural disaster, and they would dissipate in a short time, but they disappeared from time to time. The yellow lightning that appeared and the escaping source stone surged, and it was enough to make any sensible messenger of natural disasters tremble with fear.

Xuan Tie thought to himself that the era of strong personal bravery deciding the outcome of the battlefield has truly passed.When he turned around from the cliff and looked back at Tracys and the well-equipped Royal Victorian Army behind him, with road ships, heavy originium cannons, siege cannons and even war fortresses, he had already understood This is because at that time, he never had the slightest idea of ​​"fighting them", but subconsciously chose "run away" immediately.

The sense of oppression that cannot be fought against at all is really frightening.

How much he wished that he had never taken up this task, never accepted the reward from the Grand Duke Joint Council, and never left the border of Casimir.But by now, it's too late.

"If I still have hope to go back, I also want to... must form a group. Earn money, build countless road warships, countless origin stone cannons... this is the real future battlefield."

He looked at the cloud of origin stone dust that gradually faded with the wind, and murmured:

"As for the name, let's call it [Origin Stone Cloud]."

"Leader, there are people here."

A strange voice came from not far away, but Xuan Tie was unable to turn his head away, and kept asking for help. In his half-opened eyes, the spirit in his pupils had disappeared along with the origin stone cloud.

Not far away, among the evacuating Shenchi team, Celtic also heard the report of the Shenchi soldiers. She turned her head, looked at the hillside that had been bombarded by artillery fire, raised her hand, and burned her life as firewood. The phosphorous fire ignited at the fingertips, and then quietly extinguished within a few seconds.Celtic watched everything silently, until the last flame burned out, she put down her hand and said:

"We don't have to go, people are dead."

She patted Weicao on the shoulder, signaling her not to stop for this trivial matter, there are more important goals waiting for them to complete,

"Let the two Shenchi soldiers pass by, and bury that man on the spot. It's decent enough to die under the bombardment of the Victoria Formation Army Group."

"As for us, Lavshine, we can't stay here for too long, we have to go to Londinium—to participate in the so-called [ceremony] held by your brother. To take revenge on those conspirators."

.........

Xiaoqiu County, in the evening.

With the help of the garrison, the recovery of the core area of ​​Xiaoqiu County has been basically completed, and there has been no decent resistance along the way. Except for a small number of fanatical Tara separatist thugs, the troops performing the cleanup mission are deep None of Chi's soldiers saw a single one.The ghost troop seemed to be just like their names, they would only appear at night, and disappear quietly in the daytime.

And after the large army led by Tracys officially arrived in the outskirts of Xiaoqiu County, the process of recovery work was greatly accelerated.To deal with those separatist thugs who still refused to surrender and stubbornly resisted in the early recovery work presided over by Wayne, Tracy's methods were not as gentle as Wayne and Teresia's.

Call surrender three times, either lay down your weapons and walk out of the position, or get out of the position with your head on the ground. Tracy will not have any mercy for the traitors. Severe suppression is considered light. If it wasn't for Wayne's insistence on both soft and hard, he could do it Throwing the thugs all over a statue in the city center, an eye for an eye move.

Wayne acquiesced in the rare act.

He is not the Holy Mother. What kind of atrocities Xiaoqiu County suffered during the occupation can be seen from the photos recorded by Kelsey when she led the first garrison into the center of Xiaoqiu County and her description in a few words.The group of Tara thugs who thought they had won the "victory" also adopted the most severe measures when facing even unarmed civilians. atrocities of torture and massacres.

Even if he knew that the hatred was built up in such repeated counter-offensives, Wayne really couldn't swallow this breath.For those Tara people who surrendered after the garrison entered the city, Wayne chose to arrest them and hand them over to the court for trial. For those culprits who were still draining the last madness and inciting the people, Wayne chose to hand over Tracys.

In this regard, Mr. Chairman has done a good job.

At night, Tracys returned to the garrison camp, and the recovery work went smoothly, which gave Tracys more confidence to speak.

"I told you, Wayne, that excessive kindness can't bring you anything. You see, when you led the garrison to recover, you lost a dozen excellent soldiers because of the counterattack of those scum, But leave it to me, after cutting down a few disobedient Liwei, the loss dropped to zero in an instant. Traitors can’t understand the language, and the only one who can communicate with them is this.”

He patted the scabbard on his waist.The sword was left outside.Wen En, who had just been assassinated, is now at an unprecedented level of security. Unicorn has suspended the work of Londinium, and arranged for 12 people to guard the vicinity of Wen En for two hours each.
