Three days later, a team appeared in the Bailong Mountain Range. This place was adjacent to the wind-eroded wasteland, and the ridge undulated like a dragon, causing the atmosphere to be strict. On the southeast side of the Bailong Mountain Range, there was a natural canyon. After passing through the canyon, one would be able to reach Neru, another base of the Federation.
Recently, the supply team between the Blood Eagle and Neru bases had discovered traces of Saber Demons in the Bailong Mountain Range. The nearest Neru base to the Bailong Mountain Range had already sent out a search team to investigate and discovered a small demon tribe in the mountains. The tribe occupied a mountainside in the mountain range and expelled the Earth Drilling Insects to open up multiple entrances and exits.
Originally, Neru Base had planned to sweep through it, but Berry, who had received the news, took over the mission and handed it over to Allen for the actual combat test of the Flame Fighting Rifle. At this moment, the team that was traversing through the mountains was naturally the Border Rong Army that was participating in the test. The team was commanded by Lieutenant Peter, with Allen and Coggess participating. The former, as the sequence designer of the Flame Fighting Rifle, had to record the detailed data of the actual combat. The latter, on the other hand, was to protect their own side from any unexpected situations.
According to the intelligence of Neru Base, the team arrived near the Blade Demon Tribe in the afternoon. Peter, Allen, and Coggess lay on a piece of limestone. Looking down, there was a winding mountain path that led straight to the entrance of a mountain belly. The stones at the entrance were stacked high and fixed with two tribal flags painted with sickles and skulls. There were Saber Demons and Horned Wolves wandering around the mountains near the entrance. They should be sentinels.
This tribe lived in the belly of the mountain, which could be considered a tradition of the Saber Demon. Just like the Abyss of the Furnace where the Saber Demon King resided, it was actually the belly of a volcano. It led directly to the volcanic lava pool, which was hot all year round, and the earth fire rose endlessly. The Saber Demon used it as an energy source and fortification for the Abyss of the Furnace, making the Abyss of the Furnace a model for the strongholds in the belly of the mountain.
Of course, this small tribe could not compare to the Abyss of the Furnace in terms of size or combat strength. Moreover, they should have migrated here not long ago, so they naturally wouldn't have any decent fortifications. Allen and the others circled around and confirmed the location of the other two entrances and exits before retreating to the standby point.
Under Peter's arrangements, the three teams attacked at the same time from three entrances and exits, making sure that the Saber Demon had nowhere to escape. The battle unfolded at sunset. The three teams of the Border Rong Army roared and attacked the Blade Demon Tribe with their Flame Fighting Rifles. As expected, there was no hope for the Flame Fighting Rifle. Even the firepower of the conventional mode was twice as large as that of an ordinary rifle. The powerful firepower coupled with the Bian Rong army's completely suicidal fighting style. As the battle began, the Blade Demon Tribe was in a one-sided situation.
Allen and Kejess watched the battle from behind. Seeing that facing the Saber Demon's counterattack, the Bian Rong Army did not follow the conventional tactic of evading before attacking. Instead, they directly stuck close to the enemy's counterattack firepower and exchanged injuries for lives. Kejess shook his head repeatedly and called out "madman".
From their battle, Allen somewhat understood the mentality of these people. Perhaps there was nothing in their lives that they could not afford to lose, including their own lives.
Under the attacks of this group of madmen, the Saber Demon retreated step by step. The rough gunshots of the Flame Fighting Rifles surged in the belly of the mountain, and Allen and Coggess then entered the belly of the mountain. This hinterland allowed the Earth Drilling Bug to dig out a few tunnels. Flames flickered in the tunnels, and the sound of gunfire echoed endlessly. The Border Rong Army took advantage of the firepower of the Flame Fighting Rifle and attacked the Yellow Dragon, forcefully entering the depths of the mountain.
Deep in the mountain, a place similar to a sacrificial ground was dug out. This place was also the chief's residence. When Allen and the others entered, there were only a few Saber Demons left. The remaining dozen or so Berserk Wolf Knight were trying to break through the firepower net of the Border Rong Army. Under Peter's orders, the two squads switched their Flame Fighting Rifles to Magic Martial Mode. Under the bombardment of a round of Raging Fire Missiles, more than a dozen Berserk Wolf Knight could not even touch the corner of their clothes before they were blasted into charcoal.
In the end, the remaining chief let out an angry roar. His Origin Energy soared, but he also had the strength of Level 18. However, when he brandished a battle axe and charged over, Peter waved his hand and ordered the warriors to concentrate their fire. More than fifty Flame Fighting Rifles aimed their muzzles at the chief, and then the Raging Fire Missiles fired in succession. Immediately, a dense explosion occurred in the belly of the mountain.
The fireballs continued to explode within a limited range, and the energy impact was enough to form a destructive storm. When the explosion stopped, the belly of the mountain was filled with gray smoke. The chief, on the other hand, had been chopped down by an axe, and his limbs had already been deformed by the explosion. His death was extremely miserable.
Looking at the charcoal-like corpse, Coggess whistled, "This is too shocking. With this power, the Awakened ones have to turn around and run when they see it."
Allen nodded and shook his head before saying, "It's not that simple when you really meet an Awakened one. If it were you, you wouldn't stand there like a piece of wood and be bombarded. However, if it can play a shocking role, the Flame Fighting Rifle will be worth producing. "
"Perhaps you can open other weapons, such as Origin Energy Hand/Thunder, but it's too expensive to use a one-time consumable." Coggess shook his head.
"Let's talk about this in the future." Allen shrugged. There were many weapons he could open. However, the next step was to try to open magic energy armor to increase the soldiers' defense or mobility. It was also to increase the soldiers' combat strength on another level.
The next step was to clean up the battlefield. However, the specifications of the Blade Demon Tribe were too small, so there were basically no spoils of war. Apart from the Origin Jade separated from the chief's body, there was nothing else of value. Allen picked up two iron swords used by the Saber Demon Knight. Their craftsmanship was very rough, but it was full of outsider style. It was not bad to use them as decorations.
"Sure enough, Blade Demons are poor ghosts."
Peter threw a backpack to the ground and sat down to drink. He picked up something from inside and threw it to Allen. "This is for you as a souvenir," he said.
Allen took it. It was the bone of some kind of wild beast in his palm. There was a strange symbol carved on it with a sharp weapon. It seemed to be some kind of hieroglyph, and it looked like an abstract painting of a sword. The symbol was painted with blood or some kind of red paint on the carvings, forming a sharp contrast with the dense white bones. Peter said, "This is the beheading order. Looks like this inconspicuous tribe has also received it."
"What else did you find?" Allen squatted down and opened his backpack. There were some strange ornaments inside. There was even a black finger bone. He didn't know what it was.
Among them, there was also a broken piece of stone. There was a pattern engraved on the stone. It was a Saber Demon. The engraver used sharp lines to show the scene of the Saber Demon being broken out of its body by something. Beside the Saber Demon, there was a small knife-like pattern. It looked ordinary, but when Allen was about to put it back, his entire body froze.
Peter asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. By the way, give this to me as well." Allen said as he shook the stone.
"If you like it, just take it. Well, it's not bad to use it as an ornament."
Peter didn't know that Allen wasn't using it as an ornament at all. It was because on the pattern of the knife, there was a pattern of a devil statue at the hilt of the knife. The saber and the pattern of the Saber Demon were very simple and crude. Only the lines of the demon pattern were exquisite. Most importantly, it was very similar to the gem on the Devil's Praise.
The next day, when he returned to the base, Allen locked himself in the workshop and asked Adam to guard the door for him so that no one would disturb him. He took out the Saber Demon Stone Tablet and the Devil's Praise, scanned the Devil Statues of the two with an instrument, and compared the images with his brain. The final conclusion was that the similarity between the two was as high as 92%. Apart from the lack of clarity of the image due to some damage to the Saber Demon Stone Tablet, it was almost identical to the gemstone statue on the Devil's Praise.
Allen stared blankly at the dagger in his hand. This Origin Tool became more and more mysterious. There were actually records of it in the Blade Demon Tribe. Could it be that the Devil's Praise came from Nether Domain Star? If that was the case, then how did his father obtain it? Or could it be that Archimedes had come to Nether Domain Star and obtained this Origin Tool, then rolled it to Earth and gave it to his mother?
"You mean, a device that can understand the language of the Saber Demon?" Coggess looked strangely at Allen, "Do you need this?"
It was already the second day after returning to the base. Yesterday, after discovering that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the Devil's Praise and the Saber Demon Man, Allen felt that to solve this mystery, he would probably have to start from the Saber Demon. Since that was the case, he naturally needed to understand the language of the Saber Demon first, so he asked Coggess.
Hearing Coggess's question, Allen was unable to tell the truth, so he could only find an excuse and say, "It's just a personal interest."
"You have quite a wide range of interests." Coggess thought for a moment and said, "There should be a language robot in the warehouse. It's a nano-device. Injected into the body, it will eventually reach the cerebral cortex and attach to it. It can allow you to understand and speak a variety of known alien languages. It was first developed for the colonial planet, and later applied to various fields such as intelligence gathering on the chaotic battlefield. If you need it, go to the warehouse and get it. "
"Thank you, Major."
Allen successfully received the language robot from the military warehouse and pressed it into his body with a syringe, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Unfortunately, the Saber Demon captives in the base had already been escorted elsewhere. Allen was unable to test if the robot worked, so he could only wait for a chance to try again in the future.
A week later, the Bian Rong Army received a new assignment letter and left Blood Hawk Base. Allen sent them to the foot of the mountain and watched the transport truck drive towards the horizon of the wasteland. Half a month later, new news came from the frontlines. The spread of death had completed its pre-war mobilization and was marching towards the center of the blazing earth in batches. At the same time, the migration tide of the Saber Demon Tribe began to appear. In late July, more and more traces of Saber Demons appeared behind the war zone.
Even rear bases like Blood Eagle and Neru had repeatedly joined forces to sweep through the Saber Demon Tribe that had crossed the border. Allen's Fire Fighting Rifle began to emerge on the battlefield. After several consecutive small-scale positional battles, Blood Hawk Base began to build a small arsenal to produce Fire Fighting Rifles in assembly lines to meet the needs of Blood Hawk and the other two bases around it.
In the increasingly intense days of the war between humans and Saber Demons, Allen ushered in his first winter on Nether Domain Star.
Today was the day that they had agreed to unleash a huge storm. How many more are there? How many more?
