thump.
A fortress soldier fell to the ground. Because of his rapid breathing, a white mist appeared on the mask of his full-face helmet.
But even though his vision was no longer clear, it was difficult for him to ignore the monster in front of him.
This black man has a humanoid upper body structure, with obvious muscle texture and light blue energy lines on the surface of his skin.
The head is like a lizard and a poisonous snake, with huge eyes and a row of crystalline spines extending backwards in the middle.
On his left arm hung a horn shield, the edge of which was very sharp and stained with blood.
The corners of the shield are round and blunt, and there are many deep and shallow scratches on the shield surface.
The shield seemed to be grown together with its arm and was part of its body structure.
The creature held a pistol in its right hand. The barrel of the pistol was short, but the tip of the pistol was long and sharp. There was a human head on the tip of the pistol, and the tip of the pistol was sticking out of the mouth of the human head, with blood dripping down.
The soldier's teeth were chattering, and the lower half of the creature's body was reflected on his helmet visor.
The lower half of this creature is a worm-like body with a huge mouth open.
The mouthparts were covered with ring-shaped sharp teeth, and at this moment, it was devouring a headless human corpse. Those ring-shaped sharp teeth acted like a meat grinder, quickly decomposing the corpse and swallowing it into the mouth.
in addition.
There are several human arms growing on both sides of the insect's body, with their palms pressing on the ground to keep the monster balanced.
"do not come... "
"do not come!"
The soldier finally couldn't bear the mental pressure anymore, raised his Xingsu rifle and pulled the trigger.
But no beam of light was emitted from the rifle and the magazine was empty, but the soldier was so focused on the monster that he didn't notice it at all.
So his fingers kept moving.
The half-snake man who seemed to be riding a worm swung his pistol, shook off the human head on the tip of the spear, slowly raised it, and stabbed it down fiercely.
On the soldier's helmet visor, the tip of the gun continued to expand.
Sudden.
There was a figure on the mask.
There was one more person in front of the soldier.
The man's long black robe was lifted up by the airflow, and the high collar was shaking constantly.
His silvery-white hair emitted bits of starlight, and his right hand was raised horizontally, holding a dark red long sword that seemed to be covered with rust.
A rusty red blade light crossed the tip of the monster's gun.
From the pistol to the arm, it suddenly split into two.
And in the next second.
Explosion and crushing!
Snap, clack.
Fragments of the gun body and arm continued to splash onto the ground.
Both the soldiers and the monster were temporarily unresponsive to the sudden change.
In the soldier's helmet visor, all he could see was the silver-haired man who suddenly appeared.
Without saying a word.
He put away his knife and crouched down.
Suddenly, a knife pointed forward.
The figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already on the ground a hundred meters behind the monster.
A rusty red blade light crossed the monster, appearing intermittently in the air.
Suddenly.
The monster's entire body trembled violently, and it was unable to bounce into the air on its own, suddenly breaking into thousands of pieces.
It drips onto the ground, covering the entire earth.
An eyeball rolled to the soldier's feet, with a look of disbelief in it.
As if he couldn't believe that he was killed instantly by a single knife!
But at this moment, two screams were heard on the battlefield.
Two more Dark Temple Knights attacked from both sides.
They first threw pistols at the silver-haired man, but before the pistols could hit him, the opponent dodged them.
So they launched a charge, trying to kill it at close range.
The silver-haired man didn't move.
Even, the long sword is sheathed!
So frivolous!
Even though they couldn't speak the same language and even though they no longer worked for the Dark Empire.
But in the hearts of these two Dark Temple Knights, there is still the glory and pride they once had.
How can one endure such contempt!
They roared and increased their speed by another three points, like two chariots rolling from left to right.
It seemed that the man was about to be crushed to death.
Suddenly, the soldier saw from his helmet that the man had disappeared.
The two Dark Temple Knights missed their target, and their short spears hit each other's horn shield, causing chaos in their formation!
at the same time.
The figure of the silver-haired man was outlined in mid-air.
The long sword was unsheathed again.
The moment the sword is unsheathed, the sky is filled with sword lights!
The flash of sword light like a meteor enveloped the two Dark Temple Knights below.
After the knife light disappeared, the silver-haired man fell to the ground.
Without even looking at them, he put away his knife and returned to the camp.
After taking a few steps, the Dark Temple Knights behind him exploded at the same time, breaking into pieces of flesh on the ground.
In the expeditionary force's command hall, waves of inhalation sounds were heard one after another.
"Two slashes! Just two slashes, and they killed three Dark Temple Knights? Although the Heavenly Rank has an absolute advantage over them, this is too easy, isn't it?" A Heavenly Rank warrior exclaimed.
"No, the key is not the number of slashes, but its lethality!"
"Even if it's a Heavenly Rank, with one strike of the sword, a high-level Black People can be smashed to pieces. Even an 8th-level War God using 'Boiling Fighting Spirit' may not be able to achieve this kind of killing power!" Another short and strong Heavenly Rank warrior said in a deep voice.
Tu Ge, who had always been silent and rarely expressed his opinions, said at this time: "If he gets within a hundred meters of me, I'm afraid I can only choose to temporarily avoid the edge."
Swish, swish, swish!
All eyes fell on the man with the "strongest shield" in the Golden Court, and the strong men in the command hall could hardly believe their ears.
It would be fine if these words came from other "fortresses".
But when it came out of Tu Ge's mouth, the weight was very different.
A Heaven Rank expert murmured, "Given time, this will surely be another 'Lin Jianping', right?"
No one answered.
But many people nodded slightly.
The decisive battle in the valley continues.
As the battle progressed to the later stages, some more black civilians joined the battlefield, but it was still difficult to reverse the disadvantage.
With the defeat of the black people, Lin Jianping commanded the army to surround and reap the harvest.
In the end, only less than three thousand black people escaped from the canyon.
The rest of us all participated in this battle.
The battle is over.
The expeditionary force cleaned up the battlefield, recovered a large amount of materials, and registered them into a warehouse according to different categories.
Some of the materials dropped by high-level black folks, such as the Dark Knights, were delivered to the scholars in the Wilderness of Wisdom.
Without Tianyang's ability to directly read the black civilian materials, the expeditionary force can only rely on the scholars of the "Wisdom Wilderness" to identify these materials.
Determine their value and purpose, then save them and distribute them after the expedition is over.
When cleaning up the battlefield, in addition to recycling materials, the bodies of the dead are also recycled.
Some of the dead did not even leave behind their bodies, so we can only look for nameplates.
even so.
There are still a large number of dead who did not even leave behind nameplates. For these dead, the expeditionary force could only build cenotaphs and erect anonymous monuments for them to comfort their souls.
Tianyang attended the funeral.
Looking at the cenotaphs and nameless tombstones, he remained silent.
Exploring the opposite world is never safe, nor is it a vacation or a pleasure.
It is a journey of blood and fire.
But humans have never stopped exploring, and that is why the world behind the door can be discovered.
Thriving.
"Next, we will rest here for three days. After three days, we will set off again."
After returning to the base vehicle, Lin Jianping said this to each fortress lord.
"We need to adjust, and the soldiers also need to rest. Even if we reach the imperial capital with our exhausted bodies, we won't be able to do anything."
Of course no one would object to Lin Jianping's decision.
So the matter was settled.
The people dispersed.
When adding his own residence, Tianyang's heart moved, and then he heard Guan Feng's voice ringing in his ears.
"Good news, brother Tianyang."
Tianyang turned his head and looked at the black-robed archbishop with a questioning look.
Guan Feng looked around and focused on Su Yun's three Sun Saints, then smiled at Tian Yang and said, "Brother Tian Yang, how about I have a word with you?"
"good."
Tianyang wanted to see what Guan Feng was up to, so he followed Guan Feng and headed towards the area of the War Church.
Su Yun and several Sun Saints looked at each other with stern expressions, but did not express anything. They lowered their heads and walked away quickly.
After a moment.
Tianyang returned to his residence.
The good news for Guan Feng is that the War Church Headquarters has decided to give Tian Yang the position of Chief Judge of Ashes after the expedition is over.
The Chief Judge of Ashes is the supervisor and leader of the Ash Tribunal.
By then, Tianyang will have "fireless men" at his disposal.
Most importantly, the Ash Inquisition is not governed by a bishop or a 'dogma of war', but only by the Pope.
If other departments need to borrow the "Fireless", they can only discuss with them instead of giving orders directly.
This is real power!
Real power!
Of course, Tianyang knew that everything had a price.
I think Guan Feng must have known that the Glorious Church had contact with him some time ago.
He was afraid that he would be poached by the Glorious Church, so he informed the headquarters and spent a lot of money to win him over.
Tianyang did not refuse such a good offer, but he did not agree immediately either.
He plans to take another look.
Let’s see what price the Glorious Church will offer next.
They want 'dusk information', so whoever offers the highest price gets it.
After returning to his residence, Tianyang asked Chiying to watch over him while he began to cultivate the heart of a strong man.
According to the method provided by Lin Jianping, the first step in cultivating the heart of a strong person is to recall the most difficult time in one's life.
Let those unbearable memories reappear.
You have to tear open the scars in your heart yourself and strengthen your soul by facing these traumas.
But in this process, it is important to note that the purpose of facing pain is not to make the heart numb.
It’s about enduring these traumas and pains, and finally overcoming them!
If you just let your mind become numb, you are not a strong person at all, but a weak person who escapes.
For Tianyang, he knew very well which experience was the most painful.
It is also because of this that, although he has completed the 'permanent residence of the alien body' for a long time, he has still not yet started to practice the 'heart of the strong'.
today.
He tried again.
Sitting on the bed, Tianyang closed his eyes and let his mind calm down.
Then, he opened the memories that were buried deep in his heart and personally tore open the wounds that had healed long ago but had not disappeared.
then.
In front of Tianyang's eyes, the scene went from blurry to clear. He saw a corridor full of sewage, and a disgusting smell came into his nose.
Here, domestic garbage and food leftovers are thrown randomly in the corners, and large groups of green-headed flies are hovering nearby.
This is the workers' dormitory area of the Skyfort Black Mine!
