The stranger felt dizzy and lay on the ground with his eyes wide open like a corpse.
The night sky was red with flames, and gargoyles made shrill sounds and flew past like swarms of bats.
It wasn’t that he wanted to pretend to be dead to escape the attack, but because his limbs felt cold and numb, and he couldn’t use his strength.
Besides, there is no point in pretending to be dead when it comes to his beloved creation.
The shell of the gargoyle is the product of amber craftsmen. Its essence is the same as that of a hellhound, with the soul of the familiar inside. It's just that the magic-resistant stone statue made by amber craftsmen is stronger and more reliable than the rusty scrap iron.
Whether it is based on the Dusk Path or the Transcendent Path, he is particularly good at operating the soul. The gargoyle's enemy-seeking mode from the very beginning points to the soul, so no matter whether it is stealth, disguise or suspended animation, it is useless.
Now that Stranger is lying here, he feels a bit like giving up on himself.
His brain is in chaos now, and if he is directly shot to death by the gargoyle, it may not be a bad thing.
But strangely, those gargoyles did not attack him.
They just hovered above them, constantly making sharp monkey-like screams; alchemical bombs were thrown down, making continuous explosions.
In one explosion, the soil that was blown up so close to him flew up and fell on him. Perhaps because of the explosion, or perhaps because of other reasons, Stranger felt tinnitus in his ears and an increasingly strong sense of dizziness in his head.
In a daze, he seemed to have passed out, but also seemed to be still conscious. It seemed like a long time passed, until the blood on his body cooled down and became as tight as mud against his skin, and he finally heard other sounds.
That was a group of soldiers wearing black military uniforms.
The leader is a captain. He looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with firm eyes and a beard. The officer's uniform he wore looked looser than the others, and there was a silver star-shaped metal badge on the chest, as well as white gloves specially designed for alchemists.
That represents his identity as an alchemist.
"Long time no see, teacher."
The captain lowered his head and stood respectfully at attention, looking at Master Nobel lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice.
The stranger had a straight face and didn’t respond at all. It's like he didn't hear anything.
"The association specifically mentioned to us that we must ensure safety if we see you."
It seems that Master Nobel will not say anything at this moment, so the captain He said to himself, "We will escort you back to China next."
"Welcome back to Star Antimony, teacher." ”
“Let me ask you. ”
Although he knew that he shouldn’t be like this, the stranger couldn’t help but feel the surge and sorrow in his heart. He stared at the man who was nominally responsible.The officer, who was his student but whose name he didn't know at all, asked in a low voice, "Why are you attacking civilians?" The queen is dead, the princess is on the run, and Avalon's army cannot stop him. We have already won. Now let the gargoyles bomb villages and kill civilians. What’s the point?"
He subconsciously thought of himself as a Star Antimony.
Fortunately Nobel did have Star Antimony blood, and because of this, the captain laughed instead, "You really still think you are a Star Antimony person."
"Answer my question, Captain, this is an order from your superior. ?"
"Yes, this is the order I received. "
Captain Xing Antimony said calmly, "Because we want to rest here and replenish energy. ”
Hearing this, the stranger was stunned for a moment.
His brain was dizzy and he suddenly realized something.
These self-disciplined and overwhelming people Gargoyles are naturally not vegetarians, and if they want to use mana to support them, it will require a large number of spellcasters to be close to the front line. But in Star Antimony, both alchemists and demonologists have a high status, so it is impossible. Taking out so many spellcasters to participate in the war
After all, the essence of this war is that these spellcasters asked for higher treatment to no avail. Therefore, Valentine VII tried to divert domestic conflicts and open up a new country. New market. If this war itself requires the high-intensity participation of these gentlemen, then sacrifice the good to win the last.
Since the essence of gargoyles is familiars, they can eat human beings just like other demons. Soul and flesh and blood are used to restore mana.
The familiar itself does not require much mana, so it does not even require the soul of an extraordinary person.
Just killing a civilian can supply it. At least six gargoyles fought continuously for more than 20 hours.
But
"I remember that there should be magic rejuvenation for gargoyles in the army. "Devices used"
The stranger subconsciously said "It shouldn't be necessary"
Before the order was given, these gargoyles were genuine "stone statues". They stopped on those devices. As long as it doesn't start, it can stay there forever.
Hearing this, Captain Xing Antimony just smiled indifferently, "That's the traditional gargoyle you're talking about, teacher. That kind of gargoyle has no use at all. It can only be used to harass soldiers or throw explosives. And once you enter the priest's sanctuary, you will immediately lose your ability to move.
“This new type of gargoyle is immune to the dispersal of priests, which makes up for its biggest shortcoming. Those bishops who tried to stop us were all torn apart by machine guns. However, because this kind of gargoyle needs to bear the burden of weapons and The weight of the metal armor will also consume much more energy. If you use a stake to drive it back and forth, it will take five or six hours to charge and drive for less than half an hour.
"The gryphon has to go back. The legion is fully organized. We may have a head-on conflict with the Griffin Legion later on, you can’t do it without replenishing your mana in advance. And the corpses we used can also be used to provide materials for the subsequent ritualist team. You can achieve the best possible results while killing as few kills as possible.
"Of course, in order to escort you, our team will not go to the front line to participate in the battle. Let's go directly to the port."
Is it because of me
p>Did they attack civilians because the gargoyle I invented consumes too much energy, so they had to attack civilians
Such a thought came to Stranger's mind, and his scalp felt numb. .
Gargoyles in a laboratory environment will naturally not lack energy. He didn't consider the usage environment at all.
Hearing this, Stranger felt the dizziness getting stronger and stronger.
"Who invented this special gargoyle?"
He reluctantly propped himself up and sat up, maintaining his last bit of rationality and luck, and tentatively asked. .
"Actually speaking, this is considered a military secret. But after today it will be the declassification period, and I can't hide it anyway, so it's okay to tell you."
The captain was exposed. A rather friendly smile. "After all, the association specifically said that we must respect you enough and try our best to meet any needs you have. Star Antimony needs your brains and skills.
"To develop this armed gargoyle, , is the well-known genius Albert Lorre. It's the young master of the Luo Lei family who left early, so you may not know it. He is only in his early twenties now, but he is already a calamity splicer, and even the path of balance has reached the third level. He is now a famous star in Star Antimony and a leader of the younger generation.
"I heard that he has been nominated to join the Wangli Alchemy Association, and he should be able to get the Star Antimony Medal after the war. It is said that he has a chance to contact the fifth level before he is thirty years old."
The more Stranger listened, the more dizzy his brain felt.
Never before had he felt so disgusted with his hobby of developing necromancy technology.
He only feels that this is an art and a technology.
A technology that transforms the transient into eternal art and brings the dead back to life.
But now, he finally realized that this was a sin.
When he conducted research and development for efficiency and put it into mass production, even though he had never killed a person with his own hands, his hands were already stained with blood.
Fortunately, all this is false.
In his world line, armed gargoyles have not yet been put into production.
He is still under development and changing versions
He thought to himself and others.
But soon, he realized another problem.
Even if he stopped developing these armed gargoyles driven by killing civilians, wouldn't anyone take over and continue to develop them?
He has opened the magic box.
But it cannot be closed again.
"The teacher should also be able toJoin us together and develop stronger gargoyles with that genius."
At this moment, it seemed as if he was going to laugh at him.
The right words sounded in the stranger's ears.
The sharp laughter was almost hysterical, and the laughter was so breathless. It was obvious that a competitor had left the stage, but the stranger could not arouse any interest. He only felt that the laughter was. Laughing at himself.
He suddenly heard the sound of biting and chewing.
Looking back subconsciously, the stranger saw the scene of the gargoyles gathering together.
p>
Of course he has seen gargoyles eating corpses. Pure stone has no digestive system, but demons can eat people.
He even feeds used corpses to gargoyles. , to destroy the experimental supplies. And the gargoyle is very good, and he keeps a gargoyle in his own laboratory. He even built a red jade body for the gargoyle to make it look like a gargoyle. More beautiful.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt nauseated.
He saw the gargoyle and turned around. p>Looking at the blood-red mouth, Stranger finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out completely.
There was only one vague thought left in his mind
I don't want to think about it anymore. This kind of "weapon" was invented only for more efficient killing.
