With Raymond's bombardment, this sudden war finally came to an end.
Even so, Huai Shi's forces were still unable to stop the colonel and his men from retreating.
If possible, Huai Shi really wanted to kill them all and leave them here forever.
However, from the beginning of the war until now, he had felt a faint sense of impending death from the colonel's body. To be safe, he did not use the Fly King, who had been eager to fight, but it was hard to know what else the other party had.
Therefore, although it was a pity, he could only let them go.
Huai Shi looked at the colonel's neck that disappeared into the darkness and could not help but sigh regretfully.
They won, but he felt that something was missing.
Soon, he began to have a headache.
The price of fighting too hard was that he had to endure the painful results when counting the losses.
The Gargoyle had slightly injured three people and severely injured one, but the wound in the chest was nothing to the Gargoyle. After removing the curse on the bullet, it ate a lot of metal and rested for about a week.
The Undead Army had slightly injured eleven people, severely injured six, and lost three people.
It was still within the acceptable range.
This group of Nagas became the Undead Army because of their strong vitality. As long as they still had a breath left, they could undergo a ritual to shed their skin and get out of danger. Moreover, with the medical staff of the Ivory Tower here, there were basically no major problems.
In the Nagas' mind, there was no such thing as death.
They had special glands in their bodies that could store memories. As long as the body was recovered, the glands would be immediately preserved. After bringing it back to the tribe, through the hands of the Great Shaman, the precious experience and memories could be recovered from the body of another member.
They were not sad or afraid of death. Instead, they were filled with the literal cruelty and indifference of cold-blooded animals. As long as the sacrifice was worthwhile, they would not care.
But the Ratmen were miserable.
Although they had strong vitality, they did not have the incredible talent of shedding skin and regenerating like the Nagas. It was already extremely lucky that nearly three hundred of the eight hundred Ratmen had died.
Most of them did not even have bones left.
As for the severely injured ones, who knew how many of them were saved by the members of the legal department with the first-aid equipment given by the Iron Crystal Base.
These were all precious cannon fodder. If he brought them back and modified them, they could still be used again.
In any case, these ratmen's lives were ridiculously tough, and they did not have any rejection reactions. Everyone could put together the pieces through crowdfunding and continue to be alive and kicking after the surgery.
In fact, the most famous Death Squad among the rat-men was made up of veterans who had undergone several suturing operations.
As for their next transformation, Huai Shi already had some ideas and ideas. He could go back and talk to the alchemists.
Huai Shi's own flock of crows had nothing much to say. As long as the Cage of Dreams still existed, losing members was not a problem at all. Moreover, they did not suffer any losses.
After this battle, they seemed to have matured a little.
At least, that was what the Young Arbiter Ming's Divine Mark felt.
There were still some gaps before it could truly become a large group, but these could all be carefully studied tomorrow.
Now, the problem that made Huai Shi the most unhappy was in front of him.
"Hmm?"
Raymond was eating the instant noodles that had just been cooked in hot water in the truck. He looked at him blankly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something unnecessary? "
"Why didn't you use the cannon earlier?" Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
"You didn't give the order. I thought you had other plans … In the end, you really didn't know."
Raymond shrugged shamelessly. After seeing the unhappy look in Huai Shi's eyes, he could only put down the instant noodles and sigh. "It was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Don't be angry.
To be honest, when I first installed this thing, I didn't think it would be useful. It was just an emergency … "
As he spoke, he opened the door behind him and showed Huai Shi the fuel meter of the truck.
"Do you see it? I sped all the way here and only burned less than one percent of the fuel. The cannon just now even burned out the alchemy fuel in my two auxiliary fuel tanks.
This truck's current model only allows me to carry goods. If I really rely on it to fire a cannon, what's the use of one shot? And it takes five minutes to warm up. I can't ask you to find a way to attract the firepower and create an opportunity for me, right? "
As the door opened, the smell of burnt dashboard rushed into Huai Shi's nostrils.
It was so hot in the driver's seat that one could steam a steamed bun.
Raymond's noodles were cooked on the steering wheel.
Huai Shi suspected that the cannon didn't even have a cooling system installed.
"Do you see?"
Raymond sighed. "The mission given to me by the principal is to be able to take you away at a critical moment. What happened just now was already my own decision. Don't talk nonsense. I still have more than 20 loans to pay for my truck. If my salary is cut, I'll be screwed. Come, eat noodles. "
As he spoke, he very skillfully served a bowl of noodles to Huai Shi. He even added an egg on top and asked him to pretend that nothing had happened.
This overwhelming feeling of being a social animal actually made Huai Shi feel a little nostalgic.
He wondered how the good brother in the gray suit was doing now.
He hadn't seen him since they parted on the Stellaris.
If he had known, he would have left his contact information.
And by the time Huai Shi realized that he had been fooled, he had already finished the bowl of noodles.
Raymond came over with the soup pot with an enthusiastic look on his face, as if he was ready to make more if he didn't have enough. Huai Shi really wasn't in the mood to pursue the matter of this son of a bitch slacking off.
Besides, this guy had already confessed his identity. Huai Shi had to give Russell face no matter what.
In order to repay his teacher's love and care, he could only return the favor by swiping his credit card a few more times.
He put down the bowl and walked into the crack under the refinery.
After ten minutes or so, they finally verified the sequence codes with the members of the exploration team in the underground fortification and confirmed each other's identities.
When Huai Shi went down, she was almost mistaken for an enemy and shot to death.
It wasn't until now that the ragged iron door at the end of the corridor that was covered in traces of fire and explosions finally opened slowly.
Ogyust, half of his face burnt black, was standing behind the door.
When he saw that it was Huai Shi who walked in, he breathed a sigh of relief and put down his gun.
He slumped in the corner, unable to get up.
There were a total of sixteen people in the two exploration teams defending here, and they actually resisted the Ivy League's fierce attack.
The power of a few border relics naturally played a role, but basically everyone here was injured. The most seriously injured Ogyust even made people wonder how he still had the strength to stand up.
"Don't move first."
Huai Shi bent down and checked the wounds on his body. First, he used the Silver Blood Potion to seal the most tragic external injuries and treated them urgently. Finally, he transferred the power of the Mountain Ghost to restore him and upgrade him.
After returning to the Iron Crystal Seat, the minute lignification of the internal organs could be dealt with with other alchemy potions. Let's keep him alive first.
After dealing with it, he turned around and noticed that there was a corpse behind the door.
It was still wearing the uniform of the exploration team.
But the fatal wound was at the back of the head. It was a gunshot wound.
"What's going on?" Huai Shi frowned.
"Just a spy. Don't worry about it." Ogyust sneered and pressed the wound on his chest that almost tore his heart apart. He propped himself up. "How's the Iron Crystal Seat? Didn't you receive our warning not to support? "
"Don't worry, the Iron Crystal Seat is safe. Only Raymond and I came here. When I just came in, I heard in the communication that the two sides have already started negotiating."
Huai Shi propped him up from the ground and put him on a stretcher. "Sleep well. When you wake up, you'll be back in the ward of the Iron Crystal Seat. Everyone has worked hard."
"It's our duty."
Ogyust still wanted to say something, but the tranquilizer took effect. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Huai Shi pushed open the final door and walked towards the fuse of this war, as well as the greatest prize of war.
— — The sub-control center of the Twilight Village.
.
.
At the same time, on the scorched earth full of ruins.
On the devastated battlefield, the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides had come to an end.
The huge airship in the sky had already lowered its altitude and confronted the Iron Crystal Seat from a distance. On the ship's hull, the Eye of Nightmare symbol from the Cemetery of the Returnless shone with a cold red light.
This famous or notorious mercenary group had been hired by the Ivy League and was the main force of this attack.
The Iron Crystal Seat was not damaged at all.
Under the grand master's secret instrument, no matter how terrifying the firepower was, it was difficult to invade the range of the alchemy array that he had personally created.
Both sides could not do anything to each other.
On the airship's bridge, Michelle coldly answered the communication.
"This is Michelle from the Ivy League."
He asked, "Who's talking on the other side? Let Mikhail talk to me. "
"Is this Michelle?"
A tired and dispirited voice came from the communicator, causing him to frown unhappily.
"I knew it. Only you would do such a troublesome thing at this time."
The grand master sighed and whispered like a whisper, "Forget it. What's the point of doing this? War is the most meaningless thing to do.
No matter what you get, it's all for nothing. When you close your eyes and die, everything you get will return to nothingness.
What do you want me to say to you? “
"…" Michelle's expression twitched.
"When we are buried in the soil, our souls will fall to hell. In the end, what remains is just a gravestone. When that time comes, what's the point of victory and defeat? Nothing … "
In the silence, the numb voice was still sighing, "When a life is destined to die, all values will eventually return to nothingness. Now, the short struggle at death's door is already too long, let alone the eternal time after death. Michelle, you can understand me if you think about it a little, right? Among all of us, you were once the closest to becoming a grand master. You can definitely understand my thoughts — "
"Enough!"
Michelle was furious and roared into the communication device, "Can't you let him out after he takes the medicine? Mikhail, how much do you want to humiliate me? You're a grand master after all. Don't make such a fool of yourself! "
He could vaguely hear the chaos on the other end.
"Humiliate? I'm just sincerely discussing with you. "
The grand master sighed dejectedly, "Why don't you understand? Humiliation, praise, these are all just superficial. Can you know what other people are thinking in their hearts? Sometimes, we don't even know what we're thinking. There are even people who walk around in front of me every day as if they want to seize power … It's too tiring, Michelle. Just breathing is already … Wuwuwuwu … "
He seemed to have been covered by someone.
Then, there was the sound of water being poured and the communication was suddenly cut off.
But not long after, there was the sound of steel rubbing against each other in the midst of the static and electric current.
"Long time no see, Michelle."
There was a low and cold voice, full of disdain and contempt.
"Are you here to wag your tail and beg for mercy?"
