Chapter 795 The speed of life and death (1, please vote)
After hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield, Lorraine led a group of human elites and set off on the road again.
Although the scene was cleaned up in a hurry, they didn't have much time to dig holes and bury all the bodies. They just threw them deep in the woods, covered them with thick branches, and then swept away the blood stains on both sides of the road.
But Lorraine was not worried at all. After all, in this fight, the only thing that matters is who is faster.
You only have one chance, and all you have to fight for is this day.
By the time the local people discovered the corpses, reacted, and tracked them down, they had already run away.
And based on his understanding of Lei Shan's grassroots local officials, those bastards will never seriously investigate the case. Maybe they can learn from the advanced management experience of the foot basin police, and conclusively convict those guys of suicide, and then end the marriage.
case.
Because the incidence rate of cases is also an important factor in the evaluation of local grassroots officials. It is like the ancient propaganda that a certain official was very good. Once he took office, all the thieves and robbers ran away, and everyone slept at night without closing the door.
Something like that.
Officials like Lei Shan are also pursuing the same effect. If no case occurs, they will naturally appear to be more capable. Not to mention such a major and vicious case in which dozens of people died. If someone is exposed, the position of the local magistrate will be unstable.
Big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things, and the best thing is to have peace and peace in the world.
Since I robbed the fat man's carriage, I had enough luxury carriages to disguise myself this time, but not enough coachmen, so I had to force a few people to disguise themselves as coachmen or followers.
Immediately, the entire convoy, led by Deipole, sped along the avenue.
She had already stepped on the road once before, and was quite familiar with the situation here.
After the motorcade moved forward for a while, it then turned onto an unnoticed side road.
The fork in the road is not wide, but it is extremely smooth. At first glance, it looks like a compacted road.
And this road leads straight into the mountains and forests at a glance, and there are no pedestrians. It is just that there are deep ruts left on the road. It is obvious at a glance that these are heavy-duty carriages that have been rolling over them for many years.
Pressed out.
Obviously, this road was specially built to transport supplies to the war fortress.
After getting on this road, everyone was immediately shocked.
They knew that if they ran all the way to the end, they would reach their destination, and they would not get lost again. They immediately lost speed and headed towards the construction site of the war fortress hidden deep in the wilderness.
At the same time, the members of the human special forces on the carriage began to sort out their weapons and equipment, and checked each other's equipment to ensure that there would be no problems during the operation.
At this point, the benefits of this luxurious carriage come to light.
Due to the limitations of iron smelting technology and manufacturing technology, the axles of ordinary carriages have been rubbing at high speeds at such high speeds, and they have already collapsed.
However, these finely crafted carriages still have no problems at all. The thick axles and brackets made of metal ensure the driving safety of the vehicles.
Traveling quickly, when the sky was getting slightly dark, they arrived in front of a deep valley.
The carriage turned up the hillside, and as soon as it turned the corner, it saw a tall and thin figure not far ahead.
He was wearing a set of gray coarse cloth clothes with patches piled on top of each other. There was a thick rope wrapped around his waist, and he carried a rusty spear on his shoulder. A pheasant hung under the head of the spear.
Walking on the roadside in a blink of an eye.
Looking at his attire, he looks like a hunter wandering the mountains.
The man saw the speeding convoy, looked at it with his hands, then smiled, and immediately threw the spear on his shoulder across the road, blocking the way of the carriage.
The driver in front of him whistled to signal those behind him to be alert, and then the convoy slowed down and slowly approached the hunters on the roadside.
I saw the old hunter's dry face and full beard. If it weren't for the flash of light in his eyes, it would be almost impossible to recognize him. This is the world-famous Forbidden Magician among the human race.
scholar.
He carefully looked at the people on the carriage up and down, and then said slowly: "I said, why did you guys come here? I have been waiting for you all day. If you don't show up, I will do it alone.
"
The coachman pointed at the hat on his head and said with a smile: "You old guy, Lester, your back hurts when you stand and talk. We drove all the way here and your tongue was so tired that it stuck out. How dare you talk to us?"
This old hunter was none other than Lester, who had conducted the early investigation. His disguise was quite good, and with his attire, he could definitely get away with it even if someone was interrogating him.
The man sighed and said: "But having said that, our life is not good. We did not give birth to that beautiful daughter, and no daughter gave birth to a more beautiful granddaughter. Otherwise, we can just sit and drink tea and be shy.
With a straight face, I added that war fortress to my own name. No need to work so hard, you will be as tired as a dog."
Lester listened to his sarcasm, but instead of getting angry, he looked proud and said, "That's because your family doesn't have that pole on its grave."
After Lester finished speaking, he took off the pheasant from the spear, threw it into the forest, and said: "I said it was roasted for food. I'll spare your life and run away. I've been hanging you all day."
.”
The pheasant escaped death and immediately cackled a few times, then flapped its wings and flew into the dense forest next to it.
Lester threw the spear far away into the grass on the roadside and jumped on the carriage.
Before he could sit firmly, Obachm was already impatient. He didn't chat with Lester, and immediately grabbed him by the collar and asked urgently: "How is the situation inside?"
Lester sighed, then shook his head and said: "It's hard to handle~! The war fortress inside is almost completed, but the three inner and outer floors are full of guards, and they are heavily guarded.
This is secondary. There are several dark mages stationed on the war fortress. They are very vigilant and usually do not leave the fortress at all. It is a bit tricky to deal with them. What are your plans?"
Obachm couldn't help but hesitate. Then he turned his head and looked at Lorraine questioningly.
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "What else can I do? Cheat. It's best if you can cheat. If you can't cheat, grab it. There are so many of us. Healers, Paladins, DPS, archers, everything we need.
It's also a strong team.
Although if you want to kill the Undead High Priest, it is impossible to explode his equipment. But it is probably not a big deal to clear such a dungeon."
Everyone who listened to his words was confused and a little confused, but they could understand the meaning of his words.
Obachm scratched the remaining white hair on his head and said with a worried look on his face: "If we forcefully grab it, subsequent actions will be difficult. The enemies will swarm outside, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape."
Lester disagreed and said: "What are you afraid of? Just fight if you have to. It may not be possible to kill that old bone ***, but he wants to stop us, which is unlikely~!"
Lorraine frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and sighed, saying: "Let's play it by ear. Time is in a hurry and we don't allow us to plan carefully. Besides, no matter how detailed the plan is, it can't keep up with changes.
. If it really doesn’t work, there are so many of us, and I don’t believe it, so why don’t we support them?”
Everyone looked at each other and immediately showed a hint of a sinister smile.
The reason why these great men have achieved their current status is because they are all bold and reckless. Moreover, all of them are rich in experience and extremely confident.
At this time, Lester took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it in front of Lorraine and the others, and said: "This is the layout inside..."
Then he gave instructions and explanations to everyone in the carriage one by one.
Everyone got together and carefully checked the action plan again. What to do if something happens, where to deploy, what formation to form, etc...
At this time, the team bypassed the hill, and a tall wooden checkpoint appeared in front of them.
Seeing the sudden convoy coming from the opposite side, the soldiers at the pass quickly became alert, crouched behind the long horse-rejecting stakes, and aimed their spears and bows at Lorraine's carriage.
Do they know that there is no village in the front, no store in the back, and it is a bit far away from the city. Generally, no one will come here out of boredom.
A thunderbolt officer stood in front of the obstacle, waved his hand grandly, and shouted to Lorraine and the others: "Stop, stop for me, and let me shoot if you go forward~!"
The people in front stopped the carriage and stopped not far from the checkpoint.
Lorraine took a look and found that although they said they were serious, the soldiers were obviously just showing off.
After all, this is a secret military base, and nothing happens all year round. They never thought that someone would be bold enough to want to rob the war fortress that was heavily guarded there.
Lorraine stood up and adjusted the uniform of the Guards slightly.
Obachm also pulled up the hood of his robe, then nodded to Lorraine, and the two jumped out of the car and walked towards the Thunderbolt soldiers at the checkpoint.
The soldiers at the pass relaxed their vigilance when they saw an officer and a dark mage coming over.
Lorraine walked straight up to them, showed the style of the royal guards looking down on the local troops, and said with a straight face: "Who is the leader here, come and see me."
Listening to his confident tone, a young officer came out of the checkpoint, looked at Lorraine and Obachm warily, and then said, "Who are you?"
Lorraine frowned, with a look of displeasure on her face, and said, "Why, you're blind, don't you recognize the clothes I'm wearing?"
The young officer looked at Lorraine's military uniform and saw that the military rank on it was bright and dazzling, but he really didn't recognize the uniform of the Guards.
Although Lorraine's tone was unkind, the officer became more cautious.
He asked carefully: "This sir? Who are you?"
Lorraine glared at him angrily and scolded: "You're blind."
Then he took out a document from his pocket, threw it in the officer's face, and said, "See for yourself! A bumpkin is a bumpkin."
The young officer's face turned red with anger at Lorraine's humiliating actions, but in the end, he forced himself to endure it, then quickly picked up the file Lorraine threw over and opened it.
Lorraine held her head high and said arrogantly and coldly: "My special investigation team is here to inspect the progress of Project No. 1 under the order of the high priest."
The young officer's hands shook and he almost fell to the ground with his legs weak. He stared at Lorraine with wide eyes and stammered: "Big... big... high priest~!"
Lorraine snorted and said, "Do you recognize the seal above?"
Obachm paused the staff in his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Why tell him so much? Let your supervisor come to see me."
The young officer raised the document and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was a small seal stamped on it, which was the symbol of the Demon Temple. Only the high priest could use this symbol among the Semites.
Just like the only people who can carry the national emblem as a military rank on their shoulders are marshal or generalissimo. This is what some countries do.
This is a symbol of identity. A national symbol that everyone can see every day. How many people can use it to show their identity?
Although the people here are guarding the mountains and are not allowed to come and go freely, they are aware of earth-shattering news such as the arrival of the high priest in person at Lei Shan. He also knows that the high priest has arrested and spanked the six members of the royal family of Lei Shan.
The document in his hand also clearly stated that the high priest sent guards officers and dark mages to check the construction progress of war fortresses in various places.
Lei Shan's officers did not doubt that he was there, and immediately stood at attention and saluted respectfully, saying loudly: "See you, sir."
The soldiers behind were also very eye-catching, and they stood up and saluted Lorraine and the others.
Lorraine waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm in a hurry, take me to see your commander."
The officer held the document with both hands, handed it back to Lorraine, and said: "Reporting to your lord, it is our duty. We cannot leave the pass for any reason. Please forgive me. Your Excellency, go straight along the road. There will be someone at the pass below to receive you."
Lorraine curled her lips and muttered: "The airs are really big~!"
Obachm waved his hand and said: "What's the point of arguing with him? It's better to finish the work quickly."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
Lorraine and Obachm returned to the carriage, and the soldiers at the pass moved away the horses blocking the door. At the same time, on the watchtower next to them, a soldier lit a rocket burning with green phosphorus and shot an arrow into the sky.
Lorraine raised his head and glanced, knowing that this was a notification about the next level. However, Lorraine and the others didn't know the meaning of this rocket, so they could only be on guard secretly.
After passing the checkpoint, continue walking along the road. After a while, you will see a checkpoint across the mainland. This checkpoint is several times larger than the previous one. It is built entirely of stone and is tall and solid.
Like before, Lorraine took out the forged document and threw it viciously in the checkpoint officer's face, showing the arrogance of someone from the capital.
This is what the local officials are doing, and if you treat them kindly, they feel it is abnormal. Only those who behave evilly like Lorraine feel normal, and this is how someone from the capital should behave.
This group of people included guards officers and dark mages. The officers guarding the pass had no doubts and quickly let them go. They also sent someone to act as a guide for Lorraine and take them to the supervisor of the construction site.
The construction site is already a lot empty. The war fortress is nearing completion and is currently undergoing internal installation and debugging.
Most of the workers in the factory have evacuated from the factory, leaving large areas of deserted work sheds. A large number of Thunder and Flash officers are still stationed here. According to Lester's statistics, there are almost 10,000 people.
Lorraine and the others rushed all the way and soon saw the war fortress in the middle of the construction site.
It looks much more powerful and ferocious than the unfinished one.
The shape of the war fortress is pyramid-shaped, with the four corners carved with grinning heads of terrifying monsters. The four gray-black walls are painted with dark red patterns, which are almost invisible under this kind of sky.
There is a three-pronged metal pole stuck on the ground. The tallest one in the middle hangs the flag of the Demon Temple. On both sides are the skull and skull flag of the necromancer and the Semitic lightning flag.
On the stone walls on all sides, you can see the large and small openings from top to bottom, where are the places where weapons are installed.
It is now parked quietly on the ground.
Lester and Obachm stared blankly at the tall war fortress. They could hardly pull their eyes out. Especially Lester, who was drooling. They grabbed Lorraine and said excitedly: "Complete body, really
is the complete body."
Obham also nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, and said viciously: "No matter what, I must get it today."
The image of the war fortress has appeared countless times in the records of mages and priests, and people always describe it with worry or fear.
But now, the exact same thing appeared in front of the human masters. He looked sideways and tried his best to calm down his excitement.
The convoy drove directly into the center of the garrison camp. A large wooden house in the center was the residence of the commander who managed the factory.
The commander had already received the news sent by his subordinates, and was standing at the door with his officials, large and small, preparing to receive the inspectors sent by the high priest.
Lorraine and the others got off the carriage, and the commander came over first. As they walked, he said: "Your Excellencies suddenly arrived. I didn't have time to prepare. I was negligent. Please forgive me."
Lorraine saw that the commander was about forty years old. He had the trademark rough face of the Thunderbolt people. He was not tall, but had a big belly and was a very heavy fat man.
Lorraine smiled at him, gave each other a military salute, and said: "No wonder, no wonder, Commander Leanders, we came suddenly."
Lester's preliminary investigation was good, and he had already identified all the officials of the project, and his names and people could match each other.
Lorraine said, handing the forged document with the seal of the high priest to the commander.
Commander Leanders took the document and complimented with a smile: "Your Majesty is so vigorous and resolute in his work, so serious and dedicated. I really admire you very much."
Lorraine pointed to the sky and said: "How dare we not take the tasks assigned by him seriously with all our strength."
Leanders knew that the high priest Lorraine was talking about, nodded as if he felt the same, and said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
As he spoke, he glanced at the document in his hand, and then returned it to Lorraine with a smile. Commander Leanders was not a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. The warrant for the construction of a war fortress ordered by the High Priest of the Undead was in his hand.
However, this document was forged by Deipole. She was very familiar with the warrants of the High Priest of the Undead, and there were no flaws in the document.
When Lorraine saw this, he immediately sneered, suddenly his face turned serious, and he said something, which immediately scared the shit out of the officials.
