I changed the world

The trebuchet, a powerful weapon, obviously made the surrounding defenders extremely frightened. At this moment, Sean had also recalled some other memories buried deep in his memory.

He remembered that he had watched a documentary about the Battle of Marmara Fort. In his memory, it was the first time the Seljuans used a counterweight trebuchet, and the solid Marmara Fort fell as a result.

However, the counterweighted trebuchet, which was considered an innovative weapon at the time, in the eyes of later generations, was actually just the addition of a simple lever counterweight mechanism. It was not difficult to copy. Even if the principle was broken, it would be ordinary. Craftsmen can also quickly complete the transformation of old trebuchets.

What if Fort Marmara also received a counterweighted trebuchet?So, will history change?

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but breathe quickly.

In the name of obtaining key enemy military intelligence, he could legitimately withdraw from this place of death.

Chapter 664: The changed famous painting

At the same time, if he can help the Marquis of Guerniolo win the defensive battle of Fort Marmara, then he will have a further foundation in this world, right? ! !

Then...as long as we can defend this wave of attacks tonight, no matter what, we must defend this wave!Then he can legitimately retreat!

"Soldiers! Listen to me!!!"

Sean stood up and shouted loudly:

“In the name of the Father and the Son, I, Viscount Dragaces Honoré from Novadin, declare with my faith and my honor that 30 Talebs will be given to those who died in this battle. Rewards! Disabled people can get 20! In addition, you can get 5 Taleb rewards for every Seljuk you kill! Anyone who kills ten Seljuks will be canonized as a knight!"

After roaring loudly twice, he pulled over three soldiers and asked them to repeat it again, and then went to all directions of the fort to inform the soldiers of the information.

At this time, there were nearly 1000 soldiers in the fortress. He believed that as long as his morale could be boosted, he could still hold on for at least today.

As for how to boost morale, he is not one of those great commanders with strong personal charisma in history. He has not even understood many of the situations around him.Therefore, he can only use the simplest and most direct method, which is: add money!

Sure enough, after the words fell, the surrounding soldiers let out a burst of uncontrollable cheers. As the message was conveyed from other locations, the cheers began to spread to the entire fortress...

......................................................

"boom!!!"

With debris flying and smoke filling the air, the wall seemed not to be completely damaged. The team members stepped forward and pushed a few times with their exoskeletons, and the wall collapsed.

A "torch" was thrown out, and the team members filed through the breach.

The Francois Palace at that time was extremely strong. When it was first built, it was built with the defensive function in mind and was built according to the structure of a military fortress.But for modern explosives, it is still penetrable. However, in order to reduce the damage as much as possible, a very small charge is used. It does not directly collapse the wall, but destroys its structure and makes it loose. , to reduce losses as much as possible.

The dust gradually subsided. With the light of the torch and the bright flashlights in the hands of the team members, they could see that this place was still on the first floor. It was now in an exhibition hall. Judging from the oil paintings hanging around, it was still in the painting gallery. area.

They blew a big hole in the wall on one side of the exhibition hall, and two paintings were affected. Captain Clement lowered his head to check the two paintings, both of which were oil paintings.One of them was relatively damaged, probably on the opposite side of the blast point, and the entire canvas was damaged. Fortunately, it looked like it could still be repaired.

The frame of another painting was broken in many places, and the canvas also seemed to be damaged in several places. It seemed that it could continue to be exhibited after simple repairs.

Withdrawing his attention, Clementine began to look around again.

Comparing the directions and exhibits on the electronic map, Clément observed the paintings on the surrounding walls, and soon he made a preliminary judgment. This time, they were not guided to any random location, and actually appeared in the The location marked on the electronic map.

In other words, the plan of "blowing up the wall" may really be able to find the right way out!

At this moment, a team member's call came from the communication channel.

"Captain, come and look at this!!!" A team member on the right waved to him while pointing the other hand to a large painting in front of him.

This huge oil painting is obviously the core of the entire exhibition hall. Looking at the text introduction on the side, it describes "The Fall of Marmara Fort". This is an extremely famous oil painting. It can even be said that many team members present have the impression. , because this painting once appeared in their middle school textbooks. When teaching world history, when describing the fall of Marmara Fort, this painting was used as the accompanying picture.

However, the painting at this time was hugely different from the one they had in mind!

The painting in their mind was of a huge city with collapsed walls, and a large number of Seljuks were swarming in.

What we see in front of us is that behind the Seljuk army formation outside the city, a large number of trebuchets are being destroyed. In the sky, a large number of stone bullets are being thrown out like meteors. Some soldiers and civilians in charge of the trebuchets are Acting panicked, some even began to try to escape, while above the city, some soldiers were cheering.

Could it be another painting?

No, the text introduction clearly states that this is the masterpiece of the famous Renaissance painter Owen, "The Fall of Marmara". It even clearly states in the text that the artist depicts the historical Marmara. The scene when the fort was breached, the broken city walls, and the Seljuk troops swarming into the city, this seemed to freeze that famous moment in history...

Could it be that someone swapped the original painting?

However, if it is a package swap, then why put a different painting in the same place?Even people who don't know much about painting can see that even if the painting is not what they remember, the level is still very high.

However, they were not here to study paintings after all. After finding no other abnormalities, the team prepared to leave.However, at this moment, something shocking happened. Under the eyes of many team members, they saw that the picture of the oil painting suddenly changed!

But I saw on the screen that the Seljuk army formation outside the city was retreating. In the sky, countless meteor-like stone bullets were thrown into the Seljuk army formation. Some of the stone bullets even exploded in the army formation, destroying the soldiers. Some of the surrounding soldiers and horses were overturned.

The gate of the city has been opened, and a large number of soldiers are lined up in an array to chase the enemy. On the top of the city, a nobleman in armor is pointing at the enemy formation with a long sword. For the entire painting, this nobleman is obviously extremely powerful. What's important is that not only the light and shadow effects bring it out, but the depiction is also extremely detailed. When people see the painting, they subconsciously focus on him.

"This... this is..." Clément, who was shining a flashlight on the oil painting, subconsciously took two steps back when he saw this, with a look of horror on his face.

Not only him, but also the surrounding team members quickly raised their weapons and pointed them at the oil painting, obviously fearing that some monster would appear in it.

Chapter 665: The target person in the painting

This is not the first time that the members of these action teams have performed similar supernatural tasks, and they have also received special training. They all know clearly that when facing such incidents, they must temporarily put aside all common sense. Because in this type of incident, anything that goes against common sense may happen!

However, after being alert for a while, nothing happened. Apart from the change in the painting, no other events occurred.It was as if that painting was originally like this, and the changes just now were just everyone's illusion.

But everyone in the team knew that the change was by no means an illusion!

"Look! That person, do you think that person... does he look like the target person Rousseff Sean?" Suddenly, Charles, who was in charge of electronic communications and investigation, pointed at the unusually conspicuous figure standing on the top of the city in the painting. noble.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Some looked carefully in the direction of Ciel's finger, while others lowered their heads to bring up their personal computers.

One of the tasks of these action team members entering the museum was to search for the museum guards who had lost contact before. Among them were the two guards who lost contact first, and one of them was "Rosseff Sean".The information of these missing persons was entered into the portable tactical computers of the operation team members.

If there is a protagonist in this oil painting, it is the nobleman standing at the top of the city. His facial features are extremely distinct. In comparison, the other people in the painting appear to be somewhat blurry, giving people a strange impression. A supporting role to complement the protagonist.

"Char is right, they are so similar. Look, the moles on the side of the face are clearly visible!"

"The hair color is also the same, both are brown, and the eye color is also brown."

"The beard has a similar shape and seems to be slightly thicker in the painting."

Captain Clement moved closer and took several photos using the high-definition camera mode on his helmet. The action team members all had cameras on their helmets, and everything they saw would be captured at the same time.However, the resolution of this kind of shooting is limited, and you need to adjust to a special shooting mode to shoot in high definition.

"Char, did you notice anything unusual just now?" Clement asked while continuing to look at the oil painting in front of him.

"Captain, I have been observing the background radiation just now, and the values ​​are all normal." Charles was wearing experimental equipment for checking background radiation, which is said to be extremely sensitive.

"Pay attention to continue monitoring..." Clément sighed.At present, the understanding of supernatural phenomena in various countries is extremely shallow, but the need to respond to various emergencies is real. Therefore, various experimental equipment have been developed and distributed to front-line operators to test which The research and development direction will have some effect.

"Let's dismantle this painting." Clément hesitated and ordered: "Let the robot dog carry it away."

Although this painting looked extremely weird, and he didn't know if there would be any hidden dangers if he brought it with him, Clément decided to take it with him. If such a thing could be taken out, it would be a big achievement.

This is directly related to the bonuses of everyone in the team.

The other team members naturally understood this, so no one objected to the captain's decision.They carefully dismantled the wooden frame of the oil painting, took out the canvas inside, rolled it up, put it into a special shielding bag, and finally tied it to the robot dog that was accompanying the team to carry the load.

"Everyone, please check your equipment and we'll leave here immediately." Clement didn't want his team to stay here any longer. When everything was completed, he urged the team members to leave.

Because it was just confirmed that the plan of blowing up the wall was an implementable plan, Clément decided to choose a nearby point to continue blasting. If everything goes well, they only need three more rounds of blasting, and they can successfully escape from this damn maze. museum!

After walking about 30 meters forward, they chose an exhibition hall, took down the paintings in the exhibition hall and put them aside. According to the electronic map, behind the south wall of this exhibition hall should be the south hall of the museum.

They chose a blasting point and blasted from here. Theoretically, the location behind it should be a green plant without any exhibits, so as to cause as little damage to the exhibits as possible.

After a quick arrangement, there was another dull explosion. The team members who retreated to the side immediately stepped forward and pushed the loose wall that had been bombed. Then a hole was revealed in the wall, which was large enough for one person to enter and exit. .

A "torch" was quickly thrown over.

In the dust that has not yet settled, several flashlight lights have been fired in all directions around. After checking the surrounding layout, the team members excitedly confirmed that this is indeed the south hall of the museum.

This once again proves the correctness of the plan to blow up the wall.

"Boys, move quickly." Clement waved his hand vigorously and urged his team members.

It must be done quickly, because so far, they still haven't figured out why this museum became the "maze" it is today.If there is some kind of intelligence behind it, for example, the "devil" in myths and legends, then no one will know. When the other party realizes that the action team members have adopted a "rule-breaking" plan such as "blow up the wall" After that, will there be targeted arrangements...

Human technology is too passive when facing these unknown and strange existences... Clément sighed secretly in his heart. After all, they still have too little experience with these supernatural existences.Rather than being unable to see the enemy, he would rather face those terrifying monsters.

Demoman Jack Anderson quickly confirmed with Charles the suitable location for installing explosives on the electronic map. Just when Anderson was about to go install the explosives, a warning mark suddenly flashed on the electronic map carried by Charles, and then, Then Charles stepped forward and pulled Anderson back. At the same time, in the communication channel, he issued a hurried warning: "Everyone stay away from the south wall! Radiation! Pay attention, the radiation there is increasing!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw that on the south wall of the south hall, the wallpaper began to change color on a large scale, and then curled up, as if it was being burned by invisible flames. Then, he saw a wall farther away from the wall. The leaves of the nearby tall potted plants began to turn gray and black, as if the water had been evaporated in a short period of time, and they fell one after another. Within a few breaths, the leaves of the potted plant had fallen off.

On the ground, starting from the bottom of the wall, the carpet began to burn and turn black, and some invisible force field began to spread in all directions like wildfire spreading on the grassland!

Chapter 666: Have you forgotten the ancestors who were wailing on the stake?

A sofa for tourists to rest not far away became dry, cracked, and burned in just a few breaths, and finally only a blackened iron frame remained.

"The radiation level is rising rapidly, we need to exit this hall!" Charles anxiously urged his teammates, and in this case, the others quickly retreated to the corridor at the entrance of the hall without him having to say anything.

At this time, above the ground, the invisible force field was still expanding further and spread to most of the hall. Burning flames rose from the ground, and some paintings along the way also became burned and blackened. , curled up...

At the same time, the team members also discovered that the flames on the ground were actually made up of ring-shaped structures, during which the flames faintly formed strange and complicated patterns.

Immediately afterwards, a vicious and shrill howl sounded like a strong wind blowing through wheat waves, sweeping across the entire hall. Glassware, doors and windows from far to near were cracked and then exploded under the violent sound waves.

Even though the action team members all wore wrapped helmets, and the helmets had good protection measures to prevent attacks from infrasonic weapons and other weapons, the cry still made people feel strong discomfort.This kind of sound is so evil, if you have to describe it, it is like the evil ghost under the eighteenth level of hell in the legend trying to escape and come to the world. Just hearing it makes people subconsciously have a creepy feeling. .

Accompanied by this strong howling sound, the wall on the south side of the hall where radiation first appeared finally disintegrated. Broken stones and sand flew around, and there was a tall figure faintly visible in the dusty sky. Kneeling down, the light and shadow were just too murky to see clearly.

At this time, the howling gradually subsided. Clément, who was hiding at the entrance of the porch and observing, was eagerly staring at the state of the wall collapse while looking back from time to time to observe that two people in the team had just vomited because they were too unwell. round of players.

It has to be said that vomit accumulating in the helmet is a very bad experience, especially when they are afraid to take off the helmet...

"Captain, do you want to fire?"

"Be prepared, don't move without my order, Anderson, Jon, get to that position and prepare our 'big baby'." Clement ordered, although he was not ready to fire immediately, but the firepower The layout is meticulous.

Demoman Anderson and his partner Jon had already deployed a bracket on the side, and the "big baby" in Clément's words was installed on the bracket. BM-R1 shaped energy ammunition, which can cause huge damage in a small area, is also the most powerful weapon carried by the team.

As the dust gradually subsided, everyone could gradually see clearly. Behind the collapsed wall there should be a wide corridor, and on the other side of the corridor was another side hall.

At this time, the walls on both sides of the corridor had completely collapsed. Except for some remaining columns that remained somewhat intact, the halls on both sides and the corridor in the middle were opened up to form a very large hall.

To a certain extent, the action team's previous goal of "blowing the wall" has been achieved ahead of schedule.

In the center of the "hall", where the corridor was originally, a tall figure wearing a black monk's robe was kneeling on one knee.He placed a long sword on the ground, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and bowed his head in prayer.

At the same time, a certain powerful force field spread out from around him. Although it was impossible to accurately measure what this force was, just by observing with the naked eye, one could see fluctuations and distortions in the air around him. It's like the heat wave seen above a steaming pot.

In addition, everyone could also see that just a few meters in front of him, a huge monster was wrapped in turbid smoke. This monster was strong and tall, wearing a strange-style bicorn hat and strange clothing. The face was hidden behind the smoke and could not be seen clearly. At this time, it showed the appearance of a monster for a while, and then turned into a pure cloud of turbid smoke. It seemed to be bound there by some kind of force, rushing left and right, unable to break free.

Everyone could even see the angry look on its face.

Because it was originally a palace, the floor heights of the Balladur National Museum are generally higher, and the floor height of the south hall here is nearly ten meters high. This seems to be between the two forms of giants and smoke. The size of the monster that switches back and forth can almost reach the ceiling of the dome. It looks like the gods and demons in myths and legends. It is constantly struggling, trying to break out of the shackles of the invisible power.

At the same time, the tall figure in monk's robe was kneeling on the ground, muttering words, and under his feet, huge concentric rings were rotating. The invisible force that restrained the monster in front of him was obviously It comes from this magic circle!

There is no doubt that the intense radiation also comes from that huge magic circle!

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"Valentin, would you rather pay such a price for those worthless people? Is it worth it?"

Suddenly, a gloomy and slippery voice sounded throughout the hall. This voice subconsciously reminded people of a sharp blade dripping with venom and the whisper of the devil in religious legends.

At the same time, the huge monster's head quickly rotated, and the angry expression disappeared, replaced by another face, which was a face that looked cunning:

"In order to pursue hypocritical justice, you gave up true hatred. Have you forgotten those wailing ancestors on the stake?"

...........................

………………

"Jiejiejiejie...Humans are such a race that is easily forgotten!"

In the eyes of those team members, the figure in monk's robe never replied.

Probably because maintaining the operation of this powerful magic circle left him unable to answer, or maybe because he didn't bother to argue with the monster in front of him. In short, he remained silent.

The monster turned into a huge cloud of smoke again, struggling left and right, and the power that bound him was still increasing. The powerful power even made it wail in pain, and the sound became more and more unscrupulous...

"The shady hound!"

"You protected them, and how did they repay you? Betrayal! Only betrayal!"

"Think about it, you should point your sword at those real enemies..."

........................

The monster's gloomy words were provocative and bewitching.At the same time, black flames began to gather around it, and the two force fields collided and rubbed, making a harsh sound.However, from beginning to end, he still couldn't break free from that powerful restraint.

Chapter 667: Church, royal family, conspiracy, betrayal...

At this time, some kind of white light began to penetrate the dome above the head, and at the same time, faint singing began to fall from the sky:
