Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 270: [Nergal’s Death Flag]

Su Lun and Yuta rescued the injured Gray Wolf tribe members, and also learned some of the movements of the Lu Ying Holy Judgment Legion from their mouths.

The situation is worse than expected.

The Luying Legion has been here for a month or two, and the development of the ruins is progressing very quickly.

Moreover, they seem to have some special information about the ruins, and can always use targeted methods to break through many difficult cursed spaces. To this end, they also hired a large number of slave hunting groups, and almost wiped out all the Daru tribes in the north of the Silent Forest, capturing tens of thousands of people. The purpose is to sacrifice an evil alchemy object to break the largest cursed space.

When Su Lun heard those words, he immediately felt something was not good.

If you are really prepared, you may be able to destroy the tree world seal.

He also guessed that the things that were sacrificed and refined might be the [forbidden object] that the murderous soul searcher knew about just now

Su Lun and the others didn’t waste much time. They said goodbye to several Gray Wolf clan members and quickly bypassed the giant tree and came to the north...

It was evening and the sky was getting dark.

After about a few kilometers, they found a high place to observe the brightly lit war camp in the distance.

The sergeants of the Luying Royal Holy Judgment Corps have built a temporary war fortress at the foot of the giant tree. There are high walls and heavy mechanical artillery, and there are three steam mechanical airships floating in the sky above the camp. Lights shone everywhere, and elite guards wearing armor were patrolling the perimeter of the camp.

With the bright posts, hidden sentries, and griffons flying in the sky, the military camp is very tightly defended and will not give any outsiders a chance to get close.

Su Lun looked at the intensive activities of the sergeants in the military camp, his eyes slightly solemn.

Just by looking at the military rank, you can tell that there are many masters.

Not to mention he is a level 3 professional, but even if he is a level 7 or 8 professional, he may not necessarily be able to take advantage by attacking with force.

The reconnaissance team he killed before had a minimum of second-level professionals, and their colonial equipment and employment materials all started at a very low price. He is also proficient in military joint attack formations, and his legion's combat effectiveness is very high. This is not comparable to any enemy encountered before.

However, what attracted Su Lun and Yuta's attention more was a huge blood pool in the military camp.

Beside the blood pool stood a flag with a gryphon pattern fluttering in the wind.

Su Lun's left eye flashed and he identified the flag's information. It was the forbidden object.

[Nergal’s Death Flag]

Quality: Legend

Description: Blood sacrifice flag, invincible

Curse characteristics: By sacrificing the blood and soul of living beings, the flag-contracted sergeant will gain an increase in the group halo; the morale of the group will be boosted, and the corresponding negative states such as fear, shock, wailing, plague, chaos, curse, and whispers will be exempted or reduced; the effect will be affected by the sacrifice. There is a limit on the number of souls, the current number of souls to be sacrificed is 23354;

Detailed explanation: A military flag refined by an ancient civilization for war. After blood sacrifice, the military flag will gain a small permanent increase and a large temporary gain.

Su Lun looked at the battle flag and frowned.

This

No wonder the "slaves" who were alive but not seen were all killed to sacrifice the flag.

Next to the blood pool, there are several eight-sided corpse towers with exhausted heads. The blood-stained human heads were piled up more than ten meters high, surrounded by obelisks engraved with alchemy formations. Blood energy was continuously gathering on the battle flag through the formations.

Originally, the Daru tribe had only a small number of people. It was estimated that there were only a few hundred thousand in the entire Silent Forest, but tens of thousands were killed here

Su Lun looked at the cold light flashing in his eyes.

On the side, Yuta looked even more ugly, his face full of resentment and murderous intent. Yin Ya's biting lips were almost bleeding.

Su Lun also somewhat understands why she must follow her to adventure in the ruins. If the inheritance continues to be cut off, the Daru tribe will really be exterminated.

Su Lun carefully observed the layout of the military camp and found no opportunities.

These Luying royal elites have enough war experience and are not comparable to those ragtag pirates.

He felt that only by waiting for Mr. Jing to come could he possibly stop those guys.

At this time, Yuta sniffed and frowned: "We seem to have been discovered. There is a smell of blood and we are approaching!"

Now they know that every Lu Ying sergeant here will be wrapped in a blood-stained cloth belt. The smell of blood can be smelled by Yuta, a member of the Snow Wolf clan, from a long distance away.

When Su Lun heard this, he immediately guessed that he must have been discovered by the secret whistle, and said without hesitation: "Let's go!"

The two of them retreated without any hesitation and disappeared into the dense vines.

Not long after, several detective professionals dressed as assassins appeared in front of Su Lun and the other two.

The hound they led sniffed the spot and barked a few times in one direction.

The few people seemed to understand the meaning of the hound, and muttered: "Hey, was it discovered in advance? It seems that the means of spying on people are not weak."

They did not chase deeper, but reported the situation to the camp

At the same time, the commander of the military camp was in the tent.

The leader of the Holy Judgment Legion, "Beast" Alec Barrett, is sitting on the main seat. I don’t know what news I heard, but this middle-aged officer who was not angry or proud had a cold expression on his face.

Beside him were two lieutenants wearing golden gryphon armor, their faces equally ugly.

Across from the three of them, a middle-aged man wearing a khaki windbreaker, whose attire did not look like a military man, was saying something.

The atmosphere of the negotiation was not very good. The two sides started arguing without saying a few words.

When Army Commander Barrett heard the order, he interrupted angrily: "Damn it! Yeager, do you know what you are talking about? People in your military intelligence department don't consider the actual situation when you bring orders. Huh? Judging from the current situation, this super large ancient ruins may involve something very dangerous. I even suspect that breaking open the ruins rashly may cause disaster. The more this is the case, shouldn't we be more cautious in handling it? You actually informed us Break that cursed space within three days?"

The man in the trench coat shrugged and said in a helpless tone: "Sorry, Captain Barrett, I know this task is not easy. But you know, I am also following orders."

Barrett sneered: "Did your military intelligence think tank grow up eating shit? Do you know how stupid this order is?!"

"No"

The man in the trench coat shook his head, sighed slightly, and corrected: "This is not an order from our Military Intelligence Headquarters. This is a secret order from the Queen."

"But"

Hearing that it was the Queen's order, Barrett's eyes flashed with complexity, and he swallowed the words on his lips.

After pondering for a long time, he just said the difficulty: "The legion flag has not been refined to the expected level. If you want to have a certain guarantee in that cursed space, you need at least 20,000 more slaves! In order to Damn the progress you requested, our Judgment Corps has already lost a deputy commander and 300 elites!"

After a pause, he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Not even three days, let alone three months, the exploration may not be completed! This silent forest is so remote, why is it necessary to excavate the ruins in such a hurry?"

The man in the windbreaker said expressionlessly: "I don't know the specific situation. But this is top-secret information coming from the Imperial Capital Intelligence Office. As for why it lasted three days, maybe it was divination, or maybe it was for other reasons. It’s not something that I, a small member of the Spades Team, can do.”

As he spoke, the man in the trench coat suddenly became very cold: "The order from above is: No matter what the cost, the seal in this ruin must be broken within three days."

""

Barrett's eyes narrowed.

Not long after, the man in windbreaker left the tent.

The two lieutenants of the Judgment Legion looked at the gloomy face of their legion commander and knew that the order was very difficult.

The atmosphere is very dull and you can hear a needle drop. Valley

Finally, a deputy general asked: "Captain, what should we do?"

The gloom in Barrett's eyes persisted, but his tone was decisive, "Execute the order! Early tomorrow morning, the entire army will attack."

Hearing this, the deputy general looked embarrassed: "But the situation in the cursed space is unknown, so I'm afraid it will happen if we go in hastily. Captain, how about I take someone to go in first and take a look?"

Barrett shook his head: "No, it's meaningless. If you want to find out within three days, you have to take risks."

After finishing speaking, he murmured to himself in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "Why is the Queen so eager for this ruins?"

Su Lun and Yuta avoided the patrolling sergeant.

The two of them did not dare to head up the tree trunk rashly. The higher you go, the stronger the aura of death becomes. There are countless terrifying monsters hidden in the dense canopy.

Fortunately, the monsters near these branches seemed to have been almost eliminated by the people of the Judgment Legion, and they did not encounter any danger.

The sky had completely darkened, so Su Lun and the two found a tree hole to rest.

I checked the situation at the Luying Royal Legion camp before and found that all the captured Daru people were killed, and there was nothing left to save. The military camp was heavily guarded and there was no chance of sneaking in.

He originally planned to rest, recharge his batteries, and wait until the next day to see what was going on in that "cursed space." Then, Mr. Mirror arrived three days later and there was room for action.

Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, as the early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, they heard the sound of large troops marching.

The sound of gunfire and fighting continued toward the top of the trunk of the giant tree, and it was very intense.

Su Lun and Yuta did not dare to delay, and immediately left the tree hole to check the situation.

Then from a long distance, I found the Judgment Legion, which was marching towards the top of the tree trunk

In a dense bush, Suellen and Juta were hiding there, using telescopes to observe the legion several kilometers away.

The sergeants wearing armor, carrying heavy mechanical equipment, and riding griffins swept all the way up.

This movement naturally attracted the deformed monster hidden in the canopy of the giant tree.

A zombie orangutan with blue fire all over its body, a deformed snake with three heads, a centipede with eyes on its back, and a ghostly weathered banshee

There are endless levels of third-, fourth-, and even fifth-level weird monsters.

These monsters that have grown in a high-concentration environment of undead air for a long time are very manic. The human breath is like cold water dripping into boiling oil, and it explodes in an instant.

Su Lun and Su Lun's scalps were numb.

I am also glad that they did not rush to the canopy again last night.

On the other hand, they also saw how powerful this Luying Royal Legion was!

No matter what the monster is, no matter how many there are, under the charge of this elite army, there is almost no enemy.

The legion consists of ten people in a team and a hundred people in a group. The monster groups below the fourth level are like sharp knives touching the soft mud, and they are smashed to pieces in an instant.

It is even difficult for those monsters to break through their armor.

Even if there are troublesome high-level weirdos, there are high-level professionals in the legion selling Chinese Hansa.

Su Lun even saw a strange fifth-level silver beast, which was killed with one punch by the legion commander who took off his colonial clothes and turned into a giant.

The other party is so powerful that Su Lun and the two naturally do not dare to take the lead.

But they were also puzzled, what were these people doing?

Su Lun and the two followed the legion all the way up, like climbing a mountain, and arrived at the waist of the giant tree.

The branches and leaves here are so lush that little light can come through, making it as dark as a cave.

Looking at the route of this group of people, Su Lun naturally guessed that they might be heading for the largest cursed space.

But he was also very worried.

Obviously among the soul fragments harvested, the Judgment Legion was not sure that it could break through the space now. How could the entire army suddenly attack?

Then, Su Lun also saw the cursed space.

It was a huge swirling black hole like a bird's nest.

[Druid’s God Burial Gate]

Detailed explanation: A super large complex cursed space. The war five hundred years ago caused the seal of the collapsed plane where the corpses of super-order creatures were buried to be torn apart. The breath of high-level necromancer leaked, and the space was filled with chaotic timelines, collapsed space cracks, violent laws, powerful necromantic creatures and aberrations; this was a cursed space without a main consciousness and relying on various chaotic energies. ; Only undead creatures can travel freely, and living people will lose themselves forever; if you are willing to eat that kind of carrion, the monsters will most likely not notice you; the ghosts of the ancestors of the Daru tribe will protect the blood of the Daru tribe, Or humans who follow the oath, but there are more powerful evil existences in the space; break the cursed space and you will see the true body of the seal;

Su Lun's expression became serious as he saw the identified information.

Normally speaking, there will be another "main consciousness" in the cursed space.

Just like the [Central Prison] in Dawn City before, he met his teacher Seria.

After the death of a top professional, a powerful consciousness remains, and certain memories from his lifetime become the "plot" of the cursed space.

They will not be monsters, but have their own consciousness and reason, and can communicate, so there is a lot of room for manipulation.

He originally thought that a large number of ancestors of the Daru tribe had been killed here, and even if there was a cursed space, it was most likely formed after the death of the predecessors of the Daru tribe.

Su Lun had previously thought that if he was lucky enough to meet a certain archdruid, he would ask about mental aberrations.

Maybe you can also ask how to solve the current predicament of the Daru people.

I didn’t expect that I didn’t have a conscious mind.

Furthermore, looking at the description, the danger in space will be very great

Su Lun looked even weirder when he saw the soldiers walking in with the [Death Flag of Nergal].

"Both the army commander and the government army commander have gone in? Is it possible that they have mastered the method of breaking through this cursed space?"

He realized that the problem was somewhat troublesome.

Although Su Lun thought that the "extremely dangerous" words identified should not be easy to decipher, seeing the group of people rushing in without hesitation, his thoughts immediately started to change.

When Mr. Jing saw the real thing before, he only guessed that it was the "Place of God Burial." Now that he has identified "collapsed plane fragments that buried the corpses of super-order creatures", Su Lun is sure that this is the case.

Therefore, those Lu Ying troops cannot be allowed to break through.

"It's strange that a sixth-level royal regiment commander can put himself in danger. Could it be that the guys from the Luying royal family know about the ruins?"

Thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind.

But after knowing this, they still dare to touch me?

While Su Lun was still speculating on some cause and effect, those people had already walked in.

At this time, Juta beside him also asked: "Mr. Sullen, what should we do now?"

Hearing this, Su Lun pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "I want to follow up and have a look."
