Nielsen didn't know how long he had slept, perhaps because of the previous nervousness. After he fell asleep, the whole person slept deeply, and he woke up until someone pushed his shoulder hard.
had just woke up and was a little confused. He wanted to blame him and push him to disturb the rest of him, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw the situation around him and realized that he was still on the battlefield.
Nielsen looked at the dark sky around him, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and found that it was already four o'clock in the morning the next day. According to the time, it was estimated that it would be almost dawn in about two hours.
At this time, he saw that Jason had been awake before, and was ready to go, but Leo had disappeared from the figure, which made him inexplicably panicked.
"Where is Leo?" Nelson couldn't care about picking up his suitcase and hurriedly asked Jason in a small voice. He was worried that Leo would throw him down and escape.
Jason didn't answer Nielsen directly, but pointed to the stepped box next to him to signal him to stand up, and then pointed to the fire set by the soldiers of the French Empire.
In the direction of Jason’s finger, Nelson didn’t see anything, and was about to ask, but suddenly something seemed to move in the direction he was looking, but when he looked carefully, he couldn’t see it. Any exception.
With doubts in his heart, Nielsen adjusted the glasses on the mask to make the distant scene clearer.
At this moment, he finally saw some anomalies, only to see the edge of the light from a fire, a shadow that almost merged with the darkness around him, like a gecko moving fast against the ground, and passing a fire When piled up, something was thrown into the fire.
However, in the face of such a large living person moving quickly under the eyelids, the sword armor soldiers patrolling on the other side of the fire were blind as if they were blind, leaving Leo to do it in front of them Hands and feet.
"How did he do it?" Seeing such an astonishing scene, Nielsen couldn't help but wonder.
Aside Jason seemed to be able to hear Nielsen’s voice, and said in a very slight voice: "I also want to know how this kid did it?"
Compared to Nielsen and Jason standing in the trenches, they can easily express emotions. Leo obviously does not have any energy to take care of other enemies at this moment. He uses most of his ability to calculate the deepest shadow of the fire and the location of the fire. Patrol the blind spots of sword armour.
Since yesterday night, he has been waiting for the moment when the wind direction changes, and it was not until the early hours that the surrounding wind direction began to change, blowing towards the soldiers of the French Empire.
Seeing the opportunity came, he immediately awakened Jason, and then took out the bandage that had been prepared and filled with poison, cut it into small pieces equivalent to the number of fires, and then the whole person was stuck to the ground and drilled into In the shadow blind area of the fire, one fire and one fire put the poison cloth strips.
This is Leo’s only chance to make a breakout, because he found that with the emergence of dew in the morning, the smoke above the battlefield has completely settled. Once the sky is bright, the army of the French Empire will enter the battlefield to complete the final cleanup. At that time, he may still have the opportunity to break through with his personal abilities, but Nelson and Jason may not be guaranteed.
If it was a biological weapon before, Leo may not feel any guilt and uneasiness because he did not save Nelson and Jason, but he is now, he is integrated into the present body, and even merges with the soul of former Leo, After gaining the memory of the other party, he was inevitably affected by some emotions, giving him more emotion than he had in the past.
Although these emotions may become a burden for Leo, he is not disgusted, but rather willing to accept this extra ordinary emotions.
Because he discovered that when he had more of these emotions, the world in his eyes seemed to become colorful from a single gray, which is also a dream that he had never dreamed of as a half-human and half-machine.
With this complex emotion, Leo quickly put all the poison cloths into the fire, and instead of hiding in the trenches, he lay quietly on the ground waiting for the poison to take effect.
Maybe it’s because the big picture is fixed, or maybe it’s because the hours in the early morning are the time when people are least alert. In short, the patrol sword armour and the annihilators behind the temporary bunkers have not found Leo’s action, which is about to happen. Things are unaware.
About five minutes passed, the sword armoured soldiers patrolling near the fire where the poison was first thrown seemed to feel uncomfortable, staggered to a few steps, sat on the ground, and then the annihilators in the nearby bunkers also fell down. There was no sound, and then a row of dozens of sword armoured soldiers and annihilators near the fire fell one after another.
At this time, Leo immediately stood up from the ground, the cat leaned on the waist, waved his hand at the trench where Jason was, and then quickly rushed across the fire, quickly ran to the bunker where the annihilator was, poisoned a The steam catapult launcher on the fallen annihilator was taken down and held in his hand.
"Target projection, target lock!"
Leo, who issued the order to the vice brain system, opened the steam engine valve on the ground to the highest state according to the steam crossbow operation method he had observed before, lifted the launcher, and the launch port was aimed at the other non-toxic gas locked by the brain. Affect the position of the annihilator and sword armor, pull the trigger.
Only a whisper of subtle sound was heard from the launch port, and accompanied by a burst of slight vibrations to Leo’s hand, dozens of arrows were fired like this, followed by a tragic sound in the distance Cries.
Leo didn't stop to check the results, or he was confident that he didn't need to check the results, so he turned the launch port and aimed at the other side. Before anyone on the other side noticed something was wrong, he also swept the steam crossbow in his hand.
The recoil of the steam crossbow is much lighter than Leo expected, and the accuracy is naturally improved accordingly. With the help of the auxiliary brain, all the target positions are projected onto the eyeballs by phantom positioning. The speed of the target will not exceed the estimated speed, and none of these targets can escape his sniper attack.
In fact, it is indeed the case, and regardless of the poisoned sword armour and annihilator, just two rounds of shooting, as many as fifty or so people died of arrows, all of which were targeted by Leo’s sight. The big movement naturally also disturbed the army farther away, and even caused a commotion because of the large-scale death of people in a short period of time.
A command came from a distance. Although Leo did not understand the French, he could see from the movement of the French army in the distance that they did not venture close to this side as they expected. Choose a steady and steady approach, advance slowly, and send someone to bypass the other side to expand the surrounding area.
Under the cover of Leo's sniper sweep, Jason and Nelson escaped from the trench to another bunker without any risk.
Seeing this, Leo immediately put down the steam crossbow in his hand and ran towards where the two were. When he ran there, it happened that Jason and Nelson seemed to want to remove the steam crossbow from the two looters to deal with those French troops as he did before.
"You two fools, don't put things down, hurry up!" Leo saw this and immediately whispered to the two of them, then turned a corner and ran away from the battlefield quickly.
Seeing Leo like this, the simple-minded Jason immediately responded, following Leo’s instructions, putting down the steam crossbow that had just been raised, and chasing towards Leo, Nielsen was a little slower, followed by .
It was not long before the three people ran out. The steam crossbow that Leo used before opened the gas valve to the maximum, and did not continue to use the crossbow, resulting in a large amount of steam generated quickly accumulating in a small space, causing an explosion, instant A lot of mist was formed.
At the same time, this intense explosion also caused damage to other similar steam devices in the surroundings. The steam in the machine spewed out from the hole and quickly gathered in the air, forming a thick mist.
"Damn! If you knew this thing exploded so easily, you should open all the valves to the maximum." Looking back and seeing the movements behind him, Leo was annoyed by the mistake he immediately made without understanding the situation.
But fortunately, this wave of explosion did not have any impact on their escape. Instead, the huge movement caused them to attract the attention of the French army and wasted the best time to hunt down the three of them.
By the cover of darkness, the three quickly ran into the forest near the battlefield.
Although after entering the forest, it was relatively safe, but Leo did not stop, but took Nelson and Jason to continue to move away from the battlefield. Because Leo will pick some relatively easy roads, the three of them are still moving fast, and over one hour they turned over a mountain and came to the small river on the other side of the mountain.
"Can... Can you, rest... Take a break, I, I can't hold it anymore?" Nelson, who had taken off his mask and unbuttoned clothes, sat on the rock by the river and gasped. , Sweaty said.
After all, Nielsen is only a temporarily recruited military doctor, not a real soldier. He has not received regular march training and can walk a mountain for more than an hour.
In fact, Nelson had already wanted to rest when he was on the other side of the mountain, but when he thought that there might be chasing soldiers in the back, if he stayed for a while, it would be more dangerous and he could only gritt his teeth and hold it down.
But now, he is very sure that he has reached the limit. When he was about to reach the river just now, he even needed Leo and Jason to sandwich between them in order to make a move. ,
"Resting in place for five minutes." Leo also knew that Nelson was really unable to move, so he nodded and agreed to Nelson's request, and then he commanded again: "Take the doctor's isolation suit and military uniform all related to the Kingdom of England. Take off all clothing."
After finishing speaking, Leo quickly unbuttoned his isolation suit, took off the mask, and then took off the big red English military uniform that was striking to his body, as well as the military pants and military boots with octopus marks. .
Although the two of Jason didn’t quite understand why Leo did this, they already regarded Leo as the leader, and they naturally obeyed Leo’s example to take off all the items with the imprint of the Inge Kingdom.
Leo checked these items again, and found nothing worth keeping, and then wrapped them with some stones in turn, and threw them into the small river in front of them, and soon sank into the turbid river water, impossible in a short time Float up again.
In the slightly puzzled eyes of the two, Leo explained briefly, saying: "The French Empire will definitely issue a reward in the surrounding towns to catch any soldiers of the Inge Kingdom. If we wear this kind of clothing, we will only get angry. ."
Then, Leo took out the map and compass found from the officer yesterday and spread them out on the ground. He asked Nelson: "Doctor, do you know we are probably there now?"
"Our battlefield is in the Breteil area, according to the direction of our escape~EbookFREE.me~ We should be in the Breemar Forest now," Nielsen appeared on the map in his approximate location with his hand on the map. He pointed to the small river in front of him and said, "This small river should be a tributary of the Pombo River. If you go down this small river, you should reach the Pombo River. If the Kingdom of England is not completely defeated, the Pompo River will be near the estuary. The port of Vinaya should still be in our hands, we can go there."
Leo did not immediately make a statement about Nielsen’s proposal. He carefully looked at the map. After a while, he turned to Jason and asked,
Jason, what is your opinion?
"Me?" Jason was a little surprised Leo would ask his opinion, and scratched his head blankly, said: "I and Leo you go, wherever you go, I will go, but I don't want to be a soldier again, because If we continue to be soldiers, we will still be thrown on the battlefield and wait for death. Next time, we may not have escaped so lucky this time."
Although Jason's words were straightforward, it was not unreasonable, so Leo nodded slightly to agree with this statement.
Leo asked again to Nelson: "If we go to the port of Vinaya, the war is not over, will we be added to other troops and sent to the battlefield?"
Nielsen opened his mouth and did not know how to answer for a while. Based on his knowledge of the noble officers of the Inge Kingdom, their attitude towards civilian soldiers was that they would always be thrown on the battlefield as long as they did not die.
He may be able to avoid entering the battlefield again with his own doctor status, but Leo and Jason may have a hard time escaping their fate.
Thinking of this, he closed his open mouth again and asked Shen Sheng, "What are you going to do?"
"We don't go to the port of Vinaya." Leo stretched out to a city on the map and said, "We're going here."
