"We still have time," Sean smiled on his face, turned his head to look at Nelson, and said, "Cousin Nelson, do you want to listen?"
Nielsen didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
"There is nothing to tell about the adventure of the white rose. The last stop of his journey was in Lanxi. When he was invited to watch a slave fight, he felt that he had found a goal in life." Sean looked quite He disdained and said, "He tried his best to help the slaves, teach them all kinds of knowledge, and provide them with all kinds of resources. In the end, he was sacrificed as a sacrifice by the guy who called him the great rescuer. It was ridiculous. To the extreme!"
Catherine heard these words in the cave on the mountain wall not far away, and her face couldn't help but reveal her indignation, apparently thinking that Sean was talking nonsense.
Nielsen also did not believe Sean's words, and his face was full of doubt.
Sean also knew that his words were not enough to convince Nelson, so he asked a series of questions, saying: "Do you know how the slaves defeated the elite army of the French Empire? You also know why those slaves are special Have the royal family of the French Empire been annihilated, but have you let go of some slave owners who really directly oppressed them? Then do you know why the French royal family spared no effort to wipe out all the materials of the slave uprising?"
"It's hatred." Nielsen also retorted: "Isn't the hatred of almost genocide enough for the French royal family to make such a move?"
"Hate? Do you think hatred is enough?" Sean showed an incredible expression, as if Nelson said something amazing, and then with a clear contempt, said: "Nelson, you are really Naive, even if you are from a royal branch, you don’t know that in the eyes of the upper class, the so-called hatred is the least valuable thing. For the benefit of them, they can even form relatives and friends with the enemy."
Having finished speaking, Sean seemed to lose interest in talking with Nelson again, put the notes in his hand back into his pocket, reached out and patted Nelson on the shoulder, then stood up and walked off the bridge to check the progress of the bridge cable.
Nielsen still didn't believe Sean's words, but Catherine's face showed a thoughtful look. Apparently, she was a descendant of slaves and was touched by Sean's words.
As for Leo on the side, although he didn't care much about the old things hundreds of years ago, he also let the side brain system collect the content of the two people's conversation and analyze it, and the result was at least percent of what Sean said. More than eighty is true.
In addition, the vice brain system also pointed out two points, that is, if the slave soldiers used to defeat the French Empire army really exist, then according to the method described in the diary mentioned by Catherine, there must be a The blood is sacrificed, who is it?
The second, the extinct massacre of the royal family of France caused the hostility of the countries of the Velen world, so that the subsequent war of the royal family against the slave kingdom won the support of various countries. Judging from the ability and wisdom of the Yasin king who led the slave uprising to maintain the stability of the political situation for more than ten years after the establishment of the kingdom, the Yasin king was not like the kind of person who controlled emotion and reason. Known secrets.
If you connect this matter with the creation of the Divine Warrior, it is not difficult to find the answer. After all, the royal family of Flange is also one of the recognized royal families of blood.
At this time, Leo discovered through a spiritual network that a team of about 30 people, heavily armed priests had entered the passageway two hundred meters away.
Although they went the wrong way and entered a dead passage, they soon noticed and turned back to the right passage, and within five minutes at most, the two teams would encounter in this square.
"The doctor's position is a bit bad. If the two gangs are at war, he will definitely be affected." Leo noticed that Nielsen's current position was exactly aligned with the exit of the tunnel, and it was exactly in the center of the square, and the cornerstone was not as high as the knee. There are no other coverings around. Once the battle appears, Nielsen is definitely the most suitable target.
It's just that Leo can't remind at all now. Judging from the surrounding open environment, the sound is a little louder, it will generate a lot of echoes, let alone Nelson, I am afraid that everyone in the square will hear it.
After a little consideration, Leo decided to try an advanced method of using the spiritual network, called spiritual projection, and this method has long been eliminated in the psionicists of the Earth Federation, but it is appropriate to use it here.
The spiritual skills of this spiritual network do not need more advanced spiritual links, but only need to project the image to the target in a way similar to brain waves, so that the desired image appears in his brain, which is a unilateral transmission type spirit. Can skill.
The reason why this technique will be eliminated is mainly because the transmitted spiritual projection is easily intercepted by others, and not everyone likes to passively accept some inexplicable spiritual projection, so most psionicists are mastering the spiritual network skills After that, a spiritual barrier will be built to isolate all unnecessary spiritual fluctuations from the outside world.
After making a decision, Leo began to build some images in his mind, such as the image of the battle in the square, the location of Nelson's avoidance and the location of the cave where they are now. After constructing the image, he passed the mental brain wave mixed with these images to Nielsen in the same way as the spirit net's application skills, like an antenna that emits radio waves.
Soon Nielsen accepted it, but he was stunned. At first he didn't know what was going on, but suddenly some fragments of images flashed in his mind, making him a little unclear what was going on.
When he looked at the hole where Leo and the others were in the video, he saw the vines hanging there unnaturally shaken a few times, then he understood the meaning of the image, and also came to Leo and others in his heart. The act of saving him was extremely touching.
Although Nelson didn't understand how Leo did this illusion image in his brain, he knew that time was tight and he couldn't allow him to think more.
So I saw Nelson stood up very naturally, took two steps in the square, and then seemed to be attracted by something. When he came to the illusion, Leo sat down for his choice of avoidance position, pretending to be interested. Studying the pattern with totem art on the pillar beside him.
And this pillar is just below the cave where Leo and others are staying, and it is also blocked between Nelson's shelter and the entrance of the tunnel, and can be used as a bunker to avoid attacks if necessary.
Although Nielsen was always stared at by others, what he did now did not reveal any abnormalities, so the monitors ignored it.
At the same time, the priests of the Aknaya Church on the other side have entered the correct channel, and the voice from the channel confirms that this is where they are tracking. However, their speed has slowed down, and their pace has changed. Be lighter and make your approach silent.
When these priests came to the last turn of the passage, they could already see the square, and because the position of the people on Sean’s ambush was not on the front of the passage, Nelson, who was on the front, moved again, so the priest in the passage We can't see anyone on the square, we can only hear the faint voice from the broken bridge.
The priests didn't rush out of the passage, but backed away very carefully, and then gathered together to discuss the countermeasures of attack.
The consultation time was very short, and the result was less than a minute. I saw that five of the priests came out, followed by removing all the masks and clothing, and stood in front of the crowd.
At this time, Leo's face on the side of the network monitored by Spirit Net showed a surprised expression, because he saw that the several undressed priests had very obvious genetic alienation.
I saw that all the hair on the five priests had fallen off, the skin of the body became very thin and transparent, and even the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen, which was completely inhuman.
What’s even more surprising is that these priests took the blade-like weapons and hid them in their hands, and then their bodies were attached to the stone walls of the passage. It didn’t take long to see their body skin begin to change color and texture, becoming It is exactly like the surrounding rocks, like a chameleon. If you look at it with the naked eye, it may be difficult to distinguish these people.
Spiritual Network detected this scene, Leo couldn't help but think of the monster he solved a while ago. Although the two methods of stealth are different, it is undeniable that the effects displayed by the two are very similar, which also makes Leo once again doubted that the Aknaya church may have mastered the relatively mature heterogeneous gene fusion technology.
The priests who disguised themselves as rock walls began leaning against the wall, moving along the passage to the square, and soon they came to the exit, and saw several tall and strong men carrying a mechanical crossbow, Aimed at the exit of the tunnel.
At this moment, the five priests who were pioneers in pathfinding were very glad that they and others had not ventured into the square just now. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Among these five, one returned to the passage, and it seemed to inform the colleagues in the back of the square, and the other four were carefully moved to the ambushing neighbours, not far away, and prepared. Once you do it, immediately solve the enemy in front of you.
In the passage, the other priests also took off their clothes, and the skin on their bodies was the same as the previous five priests. However, among these priests, there are several people who do not need to lean on the rock wall, just standing in the same place, the skin on their bodies will also appear like a transparent illusion of light and shadow.
"Is it really a mature technology?" Seeing so many mutants with genetic modification at the same time, Leo is already sure that the Aknaya church should have extracted this transparent ability from those monsters and successfully used it To others.
This also made Leo feel incredible, because the Earth Federation has spent countless resources and used heterogeneous genetic technology that has not had a successful case for hundreds of years, but in such a backward steam world, it was completed by a church with no technological ability. This is simply the biggest mockery of Earth's mainstream science and technology.
At this moment, from the situation perspective, one side is a prepared person who can be pseudo-invisible, and the other side is standing by, but he can't see the guardian who is around by the enemy. It makes people feel that the situation presents an advantage.
However, Leo still found a clue. When Sean was talking about how to build the bridge, his glasses would inadvertently look at the position of those invisible priests. There are also ten Inge people who also wear glasses, and these Inge people quietly put down their work, picked up their weapons, and seemed to stand casually in a few bunkers. s position.
"The glasses have a problem." Leo smiled heartily, and soon realized that Sean was also a prepared person, and he also looked forward to the next battle.
Just as the priests entered the square one after another, and reached their respective attack positions, the priests who were able to hide in full body also directly passed through the square and walked to Sean, ready to attack.
However, just as the priest side was about to launch an attack, Sean suddenly shouted "hands-on", and then saw Sean took out a very expensive special-made continuous gun from his clothes~www.mtlnovel. com~ A few shots at the priests around me who didn't yet understand what was going on shot a magazine containing at least thirty special bullets at once.
Others wearing glasses and knowing the location of the invisible priest also started to shoot their deadly arrows with their mechanical crossbows at their targets.
The ambush who acted as decoys quickly rolled around on the ground at the same time as they heard the call, and they were trained to escape from the attacked situation.
And after stabilizing their bodies, they also fired arrows with their crossbows at random against the surrounding walls. Even if they couldn’t see the enemy, it didn’t matter. In terms of the density of the priests, there were always a few arrows Blood stained.
Catherine in the cave saw the scene of Sean’s attack. She didn’t understand what was happening for a while. Until a dead priest fell to the ground and her invisible effect disappeared, she learned the situation and revealed it. With a horrified look, he covered his mouth and kept himself silent.
"Professional soldier." Jason was also shocked to see this scene and whispered.
Regarding Jason’s judgment, Leo also nodded in agreement, cooperated so seamlessly, and started fiercely and fatally, completely by a team of field-proven soldiers, and it also made him surprised by the analysis of the auxiliary brain system. The origin of the soldier.
Although the mechanical crossbows in the hands of these professional soldiers are the same ones produced by the same manufacturer as the military standard crossbows in the hands of Nelson, the materials and design of the workmanship are far more than the military crossbows. They should be customized for people. Special weapons, and the ability to customize this military equipment and make large-scale formations in a formation of thirty or forty people, would like to come to Shawn and the identity of the supporters behind these soldiers.
