Among the four young people, when encountering an incident like the dark attack on the city, Neo has the most experience and the right to speak. After all, crisis and battle have always been a part of this young werewolf's life. Compared with the three reckless and weak strength
A young student, he does know how to better protect himself
Of course, Winnie and the others also have their own advantages. For example, Neo is far less familiar with Sols City than the three of them. So after Neo analyzed and speculated on the current situation, the three young people talked about adding pictures.
, and described the layout of Sowers City in detail. Neo's mind has been surprisingly good since he was a child. He asked again about some places that he couldn't remember, and then he memorized the huge layout of Sowers City.
The three young men were amazed that there was no shortage of werewolves in Sowers City or the entire Furry Free Alliance, but they had never seen one as smart as Neo.
At the end of the discussion, the supper had been eaten, the fire was extinguished, and the four of them returned to the cellar of the Preece family, ready to tidy up and say goodbye. Winnie and the other two would sneak to the East End and target the aristocratic mansions that were unkind to the rich.
, to obtain a fortune and concentrate on practicing combat skills, it is necessary to quit work, and weapons and armor are expensive. It is really a bit foolish to let three civilians save this money through normal channels, and they can only use the current situation.
Opportunity to fish in troubled waters
Neo also considered that the dark forces or those 'carnival' cultists might also take advantage of this opportunity to plunder. The three of Winnie and the others were likely to encounter the dark cultists, so they took their own smocks, along with those of Mercer and Thor, to collect three
Set up the equipment of the dark cultists, and told the three people the identification password among the dark cultists in case of emergency.
The place Neo chose to go was the Glorious Church in the North District. He already knew that the church had been polluted and desecrated. According to common sense, it had lost its significance to the dark forces, and there were no treasures there worth repeatedly looting. Although the City Hall, the Mining and Iron Union,
Important functional departments and stores such as the Magic Shop (official) and the bank are also in the North District, but Neo thought he might as well give it another try, hoping that he could use it to survive the night.
Neo is basically armed now. He has helmet, arm armor, greaves, and the sharp sword obtained from the Dark Cultist was given to Winnie so that she can pretend to be the Dark Cultist. Now the only weapon left is the one that was originally obtained from the Evil Soul Servant.
In addition to the sword, he also carried a small package on his body. The iron box was lined with wooden strips and contained the energy core and thinking crystal of the evil fire puppet. In addition, there was some food. In addition, Neo also collected some small odds and ends, medical kits,
Fire sickle and flint...
The wind has stopped and the snow is heavy. This kind of weather is a bit bad for Neo. The cold is also second. The sound of walking is very noticeable, but the footprints on the snow are easy to follow, especially at this time, it is really quiet outside.
It's okay, and there are few people wandering around
The falling snow made Neo's vision a little blurry. There seemed to be always darkness with snow falling in front of him. The occasional howl of a dog sounded particularly sad. The desolation seemed as if the entire city had died and turned into a tomb.
Traveling through alleys, although it took a little longer, the advantage was that it was hidden. Neo heard footsteps three times along the way, but he avoided them all.
Regardless of whether he is a dark cultist or not, he is not prepared to join in any more fun. At the end of the day, although he has eaten twice and rested for more than 8 hours in total, his physical condition is not good, both mentally and physically.
It's just less than 60% of the peak level. In addition to the unhealed leg injury, there is also the 'Evil Soul Curse' that will strike again at some point. His muscles are also too tired. Considering his status as a death row prisoner, Neo feels that he
There is enough reason to recharge your batteries instead of fighting with the dark cultists.
Not long after Neo entered the North District, he saw three blazing white lights lighting up in the southern night sky one after another. They were all like comets. There was a big ball of light in the front, and a tail of light behind it, rising to its highest point.
It stayed on for a full minute and then turned off
"I'm afraid these are the tracer bullets used by the army." Neo curled his lips, "The veteran soldiers of the Alliance have finally arrived. Is it the West Wind Fury Group, the Black Iron Crusaders, or the Erdrit Firearms Battalion?"
Tracer bullets are mainly used to display ballistics and correct shooting deviations, but the military sometimes also uses them as attack signals or illumination bombs.
Following the firing of tracer bullets, the roaring sound of artillery fire soon came, accompanied by a blue light curtain flashing from time to time in the southern night sky. That was the energy light curtain used for defense.
Neo heard the sound of artillery shelling that was intensive and fierce, and guessed that the army might be trying to withstand the upper limit of saturation blows beyond the energy light curtain point, and blasted a gap in the city wall.
It can be deduced from this that the attackers do not carry many weapons and ammunition this time. Otherwise, they should conduct a full-scale bombardment to completely exhaust the defensive energy, and then they can freely choose the assault point. This way, they will die more than the elite devils who follow them at one point.
Much better value
No matter how expensive weapons and ammunition are, they are always less than human life. What's more, the Black Iron Country is considered a big fat piece of meat by many people. In fact, it is almost the same. In short, even if the cost of military operations is calculated afterwards, Soles is definitely not that big.
This kind of poor owner needs to pay for his pants, but it is a shop in the city. If the facilities are ruined by the dark forces for a moment, the loss will be enough to cover the total cost of hundreds of cannons being fired continuously until they are scrapped. This is true.
Neo also guessed that if he attacked from the south of the city at will, he was afraid that the attackers had already tried to attack from the sewers before, but they didn't get much advantage. Only then did he realize that swords and guns were tough, otherwise they should choose the east or west of the city, where is the main road.
, all the manor farmland is to the south, the Annull Mountains are to the south, and the Sole Mountains are to the north.
A branch of the Raza Mountains, the Black Iron Mountains, produces fine wine in the south and iron in the north. Both the south and the north are the money jars of the Erdrit region, but there is no risk of safety because they are surrounded by mountains. The army only needs
Guard the main roads on the east and west sides. Naturally, if the army comes, it will attack in a straight line from east to west, and a detour will be needed from the south.
Just as Neo was further speculating on the impact of the army's siege on the city built by his lurking, the Dark Blood Woman had already arrived in the cellar of Sipres' house. It is not easy to track down a person with only a few clues, but
That is already a thing of the past, and the Dark Blood Girl now has more clues.
After checking the cellar, the dark-blooded woman who came to the surface muttered words. At the same time, her right hand, which was surrounded by smoke-like black light, gently twisted her fingers in the void, and colorful magic flowed out from between her fingers.
Dust of light, this dust spreads and forms in the air like strands of yarn, penetrating through the falling snow, one bunch points to the Mercer house, and the other points to the North District far away
After a short period of thinking, the dark-blooded woman ran towards Mercer's house first. She was able to discern some contents from the shape and brightness of the light beam. For example, Mercer's house was not that far away from here...
North District, 2:40 am
Compared with the blazing South District, this place is a different kind of bustle. Nearly a thousand men in their prime are driven by slaves to do heavy work such as transportation.
The bank vault in Sowers City, the warehouse of the Mining Union...these places where high-value materials are stored have all been forcibly destroyed, and the doorways are wide open. Some simply have new doors opened on the walls, and they still open from time to time.
Gray, and some look in danger, but at this moment, no one cares about these
Along the way, in the courtyards and in the rooms, corpses of guards and guard puppets as well as traces of blood, swords and magic show the process of resistance and failure. Likewise, they are also a group that is not taken seriously. Even the people carrying supplies are in no mood.
Taking one more look at the coagulated blood and the tragic state of the dead, they are now more worried about their own fate.
The dark cultists, who were obviously better equipped, temporarily acted as overseers. The whips in their hands were indeed frightening, but what the driven people really feared were the black butchers who patrolled back and forth and witnessed the evil blood sacrifices. These devils have already been among the people.
Successfully imprinted the imprint of fear on their hearts
Neo just checked the situation from a distance, let alone getting close, even his emotions were restrained to a relatively calm level. Level 5 existences could already feel the hostile eyes. Neo didn't know those 'heartless' people.
Does the Black Butcher have this kind of telepathy? But now is obviously not a good time to find out.
Neo has arrived at the Church of Glory. He is in a corner tower of the church. With the help of dark vision and the piles of firelights at the destination, he can see the situation clearly.
This place is not worth lingering on. Neo walked down the narrow and steep spiral stone steps from the turret, and walked along the second-floor corridor to the back courtyard. Neo felt that the bell tower, temple, and chapel were still a bit sensitive, so it was best to
Don't get involved
Entering the back courtyard, Neo went straight to the utility store, and felt as if he had returned to his own home. Pooh and the other three were all Shining believers, and had been baptized here. They usually came to do volunteer work, so they were very interested in the church.
The terrain is quite familiar. Neo has learned about it in detail before.
Ichiban, as a warrior with excellent qualities and a smart wolf who has chosen the knight course by himself, can master the characteristics, structure, entrances and exits of a certain building through information... These are just the foundations of the foundations. Of course, Neo's yardstick for measurement
It was adjusted by himself, not official
The hand wearing exquisite armor held the door and pushed it, and the door bolt came out of the wooden frame with a painful groan. Neo went inside to find and make some wood products slag, and then made it into smoke.
That is to say, using smoke to remove the smell of the body is a very old method in the state where the woodpile seems to be unburned. The key points are firstly to smoke evenly, and secondly to master the scale. If it is too much, it will become smoked chicken, which will be self-defeating.
After completing the preparation work before hiding, Neo simply tidied up the utility room, went out and simply restored the wooden bolt, so that it would not be seen to be loose under a simple gaze.
The effect of the smoke was limited, so Neo quickened his pace, took one breath and ran towards the depths of the backyard, dragging a small broom behind him.
'Drag step', learned from home, can make the footprints when walking in the snow as shallow as possible through fast movement and the use of some skills. It is said that it can be extremely traceless, but Neo is still far from it, so he brought a small
Sweep the broom gently and in vain. The snow is now heavy. It won't take long for the snow to completely cover up the inconspicuous traces.
In the deepest part of the back courtyard of the church, there is a small cemetery, where servants of the Lord are buried, as well as believers in Erdrit who have made great contributions to the world and the church but do not have a decent burial place. The more famous one is Erdrit.
The founder of the Drit Territory, Mars Erdrit, and the first builder of the Glorious Church of Soles City, Brother Calomper
Neo did not choose the mausoleum of these two eye-catching figures, but chose a relatively small mausoleum next to the Calombo mausoleum. The people who can be accommodated in the mausoleum are not simple people, but this one did not have a signature, but only had a sentence
Epitaph - He hopes to be forgotten by the world, but this is not easy to do, even long after he leaves this world
"Hello, ancestors, I am staying in your house for a while today. I am sorry to disturb you..." Neo prayed a few words in a low voice before stepping forward and pushing open the sarcophagus. There was nothing inside like Neo imagined.
There was a mummy, and there was only a mottled copper pot-shaped urn. Obviously, this person most likely died without a complete body, otherwise he would not have been treated like this.
Neo didn't mind squeezing into the sarcophagus with the mummies, but it was better not to have nature. "Thanks!" He moved the urn toward the top, and then lay down with his clothes on.
Although the sarcophagus is cold, Neo has food in his belly and clothes on his body, so he doesn't think anything of it. However, the length of the sarcophagus is limited. An urn, plus Neo's height of 182, makes it difficult to stretch his legs and feet. The result is very casual.
With a pedaling movement, the sarcophagus under his feet sank slightly backwards, and then there was a soft sound of 'click!', as if some kind of mechanism had been activated.
Immediately afterwards, the bottom of the entire sarcophagus shook slightly, and then began to fall flatly and slowly. Neo, who sat up, could already see that just to his left, a dark passage leading to the unknown gradually revealed its complete appearance...
