When everything was over, the second team was long overdue.
Roland smeared mud on his face, tore a few holes in his clothes, and pretended to be lying on the ground as weak as the others, waiting for the rescue of the Martial Daoist Association.
Although her strong curiosity caused Ling to make a big mistake, unfortunately, she only imitated the step of "keying to speak", and did not change the channel to the team communication mode. Therefore, Fei Yuhan was the only one who heard the knockout announcement at that time. Not to mention that she is still in a coma, even if she wakes up, Roland can firmly deny it, and attribute these ridiculous sounds to the hallucinations caused by serious injuries.
As for why the monster disappeared without a trace, it was naturally an unanswerable question for him who "passed out a long time ago". Although doing so was equivalent to giving up all the credit for driving the enemy back to the talented girl, in Roland's eyes, it was something he could not ask for.
What happened after that was as he expected, without witnessing the battle, his vague description did not attract the attention of the liaison officer, and the focus of the association was entirely on the new erosion even twelve. Human's main battle team only survived six people, including the sacrifice of two star martial artists, which is nothing in the face of the amazing news of "man-made erosion".
The only thing that surprised Roland was that after the second team arrived at the scene, Garcia was the first to jump into the pit and saw the other side rummaging at the bottom of the pit while anxiously shouting his name. The concealed joy made him feel a warmth involuntarily. Of course, this kind of emotion didn't last long, and Garcia quickly changed his indifferent face, muttered "What, you're not dead yet", and dragged him into the ambulance recklessly.
At this point, the joint extermination mission has finally come to an end.
After returning to the bungalow, Phyllis and the others expressed concern about the warning from the magical creatures. After all, the enemy's last words were really shocking, and it didn't seem like they could discover Roland's anomaly in the first place. is a proof.
If it was a year ago, Roland would have considered the admonition of the other party to "don't enter here again". For a period of time, he was full of vigilance and resistance to this dream world that was gradually becoming more complicated and unfamiliar. The things that were born of his will are just a little bit out of his control.
But now, he has made a decision.
The dream world is not just a tool for him to make up for his lack of knowledge. For the witch of God's Punishment, this is a truly complete shelter. He may not be able to keep this world alive forever, but until that day comes, he hopes to make more pleasant memories for those Taquila survivors who have lost most of their senses.
Another reason is that he trusts his own feelings.
Looking back now, the initial slight changes in the dream world may have started with the release of the first core cyclone.
Although Roland has not yet solved the relationship between the two, when he defeated the magical creature and took away its astrolabe, the feeling of relief that suddenly appeared in his body was real.
He had a hunch in his heart that as long as he continued like this, he would find the answer one day.
In addition, the end of the mission does not mean the end of the event. It is conceivable that the news of using the infection core to create erosion will cause a stir in the association. After the other Martial Daoists wake up, the association will inevitably restore the whole process of the conspiracy from multiple angles, and the corresponding investigation will continue for a long time. He will also be influenced to a certain extent, and even the new faction has always been suspicious and even hostile.
But anyway, that's for the future.
…
Three days later, the team of detectives finally returned to Neverwinter.
A-Xia not only completely traced back the whole process of Taquila's decisive battle, but also recorded several important fragments with the Time Sigil. Roland, who got the news, immediately summoned the high-level officials involved in the battle to the third frontier city hall, and watched the whole battle through personal experience.
When it was played until Ashes used himself as a sword, triggering divine will to perish with Ersk, Roland felt a trembling hand grabbing him beside him. He opened his palms and gently held the other person back until the shadow ended. After his vision returned to normal, he noticed that Tilly's eye sockets were slightly red, but even so, she didn't show the slightest escapism, but stood in place and watched the entire retrospective without moving a single step.
All the missing pieces of the puzzle have been filled in at this moment.
"It's the first time I've seen the fusion of vigilant beholders and ordinary demons." After a moment of silence, Pasha sighed, "It's just this kind of thing, how on earth do they do it?"
One of the big doubts about the ambush operation is why the devil can rush to the sniper location immediately after discovering the special action team. Although Andrea had raised the possibility of the Thousand Eyes afterwards, it was always inconsistent with the latter's huge and clumsy image. . Now that the evidence is finally conclusive. A week before the decisive battle, Ersruk slit open the cheek of one of the madman's guards, and shoved a frozen eyeball into its wound. The eyes that sensed the blood seemed to wake up, and the roots under him plunged into the body of the mad demon, causing the latter to make an indescribable scream. And this process lasted for nearly a week, until the madman's head was completely occupied by the eyeballs.
And what this mad demon is inlaid is not a throwing magic stone, but a very rare flying magic stone. In theory, this kind of magic stone is impossible to provide to lower-level devils.
This also meant that Ersk had already started preparing the conditions and manpower needed for the trap at least half a year ago.
The moment the transformed madman flew out of Taquila, Sylvie's position was revealed. In order to buy time for the Guards to encircle, it deliberately flew to the first army position first, and then turned back, disguised as "abandoned and defeated". Considering that this time difference can be controlled at will, no matter where the special operations team is, they will be attacked by a large group of devils after shooting. Unless they give up this opportunity, stop monitoring the "reformed madman" halfway, and quickly withdraw to the west, they will be able to get rid of the enemy's encirclement.
"It's not so much a fusion, I think it's more like a control, like... a carrier." Agatha pondered, "It's not the original madman who acts as Ersk's stand-in, but the top of its head. The miniature beholder on top."
"Why do you say that?" Roland asked.
"If the enemy has this ability from the beginning, it is impossible not to use it in the second battle of divine will. After all, as long as a few are placed in the army, all harassment and investigation can be prevented, and the freed terror beasts can be invested in In terms of offense, the Federation may not be able to last for five years." Agatha said slowly, "I think this is probably not an ability, but a technology just like those new spider demons." .
