Chapter 699 Call
There was a depressing roar in the camp tent of the commander of the 2nd Army, which was accompanied by mixed emotions such as anger, pain and helplessness. Like a wounded beast, struggling and screaming in the shadows.
Leo held his head, and he curled up on the ground. Next to the regimental commander is a charred ground, and the ground has crystallized, which is the result of a high-temperature combustion just now. Leo gasped. I don't know when his originally gray hair began to dye a layer of delicate red at the root of his hair.
This layer of red seems to want to continue to run up, and the rolling red streamer can be faintly seen from each hair. It was just that something suppressed them and didn't let them dye Leo's white hair bright red.
Leo roared and punched the ground. Suddenly, dark fire lines overflowed on his fist, and the leader's eyes showed a painful expression, and from time to time there was a black thread passing by. If you look carefully, you will find a figure faintly in the depths of the pupil.
If you put this faint figure under the microscope, you will find that it is Gaia!
There is another man standing next to Leo.
The man is middle-aged, but he is very strong. The bald head has a short beard, and the muscles on his body are twisted together like a wire. There is a machete dotted with countless gems hanging around his waist, and the pattern of the cloak shows the identity of the 9th regiment commander.
Frank, the head of the 9th Regiment of the Holy Seal Knights, put his arms around his chest and looked like it didn't matter. He said to Leo, who was suffering on the ground, "Give up, why can't you get along with your master's strength?" Let it, feel it, embrace it, then you are like me now, and you will only feel that every cell is cheering. How could there ever be any pain?
"Shut up! Frank, you are just a coward who gives in to power!" Leo raised his head, and his whole face had been twisted.
A cold light flashed in Frank's eyes: "Are you noble? But on the front line of life and death, you didn't choose to give in. What right do you have to say me!"
"Anyway, I'm different from you!" Leo shouted again, and the black line in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the streamer between his hair no longer surged. He knew that he had suppressed the call of that power to him again, thus maintaining himself.
But he doesn't know how long he can hold on, pressing down the call of strength every time. The next time it appears, it will become more irresistible. And the result of choosing to surrender is to become Frank's current situation and become a slave to power.
No, to be precise, he became a slave to the man named Gaia.
In the dark palace, the man with long silver hair changed them. The man promoted him and Frank to the ninth level, but this power was full of darkness and violence. Leo is an iron-blooded soldier with a lot of lives. But this is completely different from the nature of that power, which is a completely dark force.
Death and destruction are the messages it constantly emphasizes. And the source of this information, in the process of fighting against the summoning of power, Leo came into contact with another will.
It is an unimaginable will, which is far above Gaia. It wants Leo to give in, but Leo keeps refusing. That will is cold and magnificent. Leo can't imagine that once he admits it, will he still be Leo?
No, he will become the puppet of that will. That will observe the world through his body, just like Frank.
The Frank that Leo knew has disappeared, and now Frank is just a moving body. And the soul in that body is no longer his colleague, but something else.
At this time, the voice of the guard sounded outside the camp tent: "Report, Chief Yafidi asks for a meeting."
Liao stood up, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, threw himself into the chair and said, "Let him in."
The tent was opened, and the handsome Yafidi came in. He glanced at the scorched ground next to Leo intentionally or unintentionally, nodded to Frank, and then said to Leo, "Teacher, how are you?"
Like Lambonis, Leo is also known as a teacher by young legion commanders in the Holy Seal Knights. Leo knew that his situation could never be hidden from Yafidi, but he could not reveal anything to Yafidi. Once Yafidi knows that there is a demon hidden in Sauron's palace, he won't have to wait for the sea god group to attack the city of Rome, and the Pope's Hall will have to collapse first.
The Pontifical Council can acquiesce to Sauron's rebellion, which now seems to be in the interests of many people. But the most important thing is that Sauron is also from the Order after all.
Gaia is different. That fascinated man is definitely not from Rome, not even from the Western Continent. It is not the pleasure of some bigwigs to let such people come to power.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Li Ao waved his hand, sat up straight and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Yes, teacher." Yafidi nodded and said, "After careful deliberation, I thought of several countermeasures for this suppression of the chaotic party in the Cannon fortress. I want to hear the opinions of the teacher and the head of Frank.
Leo said, Frank smiled and said, "What on earth are you thinking, Chief Yafidi? Do you mean that under the situation of our army of 25,000 troops and a large number of chariots and armor, what strategy do we still need to carefully play with the enemy?
Yafidi blushed and showed anger in his eyes, but he still said plainly, "What does Chief Frank mean?"
Frank waved his hand and said, "With the absolute advantage of our army, it's okay to push!"
"But as far as we know, there is a high-level group of capable people in the enemy."
"But we have someone!" Frank said proudly, "High-level people are also people, and people will be tired. I don't believe that they can hold out under the fatigue bombing of our army!"
Yafidi's face changed slightly and said, "What does Chief Frank mean is that we use the lives of ordinary soldiers to kill each other's high level?"
"Why not?"
"As a commander, doesn't Commander Frank feel that it is a commander's sorrow to win a war with human life?"
Frank sneered and said, "Mr. Yafidi, you also know that this is a war. There will be sacrifices in war. I don't think it's inappropriate to take human lives to kill each other's high level. You must understand that an ordinary soldier is available as long as it is recruited. Capable people, especially those at the senior level, are not so easy to appear. If a thousand soldiers can kill a senior, I think it's completely workable.
"Even if their role is only to consume high-level energy, the value of these soldiers is the most intuitive manifestation!"
Yafidi opened his lips gently and finally swallowed the word "madman" back into his stomach.
Lio waved his hand and said, "Enough, don't fight anymore. I have my own business about the suppression.
"Report!" The voice of the guards outside the camp sounded again: "The 4th patrol came to report that they found the enemy's eyes and ears outside the camp, and the patrol team has gone to hunt them down now."
"I know." Leo said casually.
"It seems that some bugs have come to us. Just to relieve my boredom." Frank went down with a ferocious smile.
What else did Yafidi want to say? Leo shook his head and said, "I'm very tired. You go down first."
Since he said so, Yafidi couldn't say anything, so he had to turn around and leave with a low sigh.
In a jungle not far from the order camp, a figure quickly shuttled through the woods. His trajectory is very changeable, and his speed is fast and slow, which is unpredictable. When night fell, he hid behind a big tree. The man stretched out his hand and pulled it on the trunk, and a large piece of bark was taken down, which was hollow inside. He immediately flashed in and carefully put the previous bark in its original position.
In the dark tree hole, only the long breathing of a man sounded. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by the sound of people.
"Why is it missing?"
"Did you run away?"
"It shouldn't have been far yet. Chase it!"
After staying like this for ten minutes, he made sure that there was no one outside before the man came out of the tree hole. He breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "Do you want to catch Uncle Hannock? You are still young."
Hanok, a member of Trident, a sixth-order capable person.
After entering Mesa City, some trident members were arranged to disperse near the blood-stained road as a secret whistle to monitor the situation of the blood-stained road. The area under Hanoke's responsibility happened to be nearby. After discovering that the Knights' army was haunted on the highway, Hanoke secretly observed the Knights' camp. From the size of the barracks, the number of military tents roughly calculates the number of soldiers.
In addition, he also recorded information such as chariots, mecha. However, when he left, he was still found by the patrol of the Knights. However, Hanok himself is a capable person, and it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to catch him. And during the buzzing in this area, Hanoke carefully transformed several hiding points, such as the tree hole where he is now hiding.
The arrival of night provides the best cover for Hannock. He sneaked into the depths of the woods and finally came to a cave. The cave was piled with rocks and branches to hide, and Hanoke opened them and got into the cave. After a while, he came out again, and there was an additional instrument in his hand.
This is a summoner, which can quickly transmit information back to the Cannon fortress by using the transit nodes distributed near the blood-stained road. After transmitting the information, Hanok was relieved. After all this, he felt hungry. Thinking that there were still several delicious cans of cooked meat hidden in the cave, Hanock felt even more hungry.
He walked to the cave. Before he could get in, he heard someone whisper in the back: "Now that you have sent all the information back, you can rest assured to die!"
