Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 192 Secret Agent
The wind was howling and the flames were surging.

As the scarlet agile dragon joined the battle, the Lionheart Knight's solid iron defense line was immediately torn into countless gaps.

Heavy sword, lance, broadsword, hand halberd.
Countless thousands of forged soldiers were whistled at by the stern-looking Shenwu Tianqi, and were chopped heavily on the alloy armor of varying thicknesses, smashing out countless sparks and fragments.

Although the Lionheart Knights had several times more people than the Divine Martial Heavenly Cavalry, and their armor was superior to the Flying Cavalry Guard's [Mad Lion II] in all aspects, these advantages were wiped out in an instant in front of Qin Huai, who had mastered special outputs.

The dazzling dragon thunder bombarded the knight in alloy armor, and the air was filled with tingling arcs of electricity and the stench of burnt flesh and blood.

Qin Huai himself has 50% military expertise as a foundation, and he has been fighting in Jiaozhi with Bai Xiaowei for quite some time. He may not be confident in commanding tens of thousands of people in group combat, but if he only leads dozens of people for special operations, there will be no problem.

In just over half an hour, most of the Lionheart Knights were killed or wounded, and they fled in disarray, while the Divine Knights only had a dozen seriously injured soldiers, so it can be said that they won a great victory.

Seeing the golden knight jump onto the roof and disappear in the blink of an eye, Qin Huai wanted to kill him, but because the mobility of the [Flying Cavalry Guard] was far inferior to that of the [Mad Lion Type II], he had to give up for the time being.

"Mao Jie, Xiao Gui, Xue Wen, each of you lead a team of brothers to chase them! Without Tianrui to replenish their armor, the Western Barbarians will definitely not be able to run far. Let's occupy their warehouse first!"

"Here!"

The Shenwu Tianqi immediately separated half of the remaining combat power of the [Flying Cavalry Guards] and went to pursue according to Qin Huai's orders.

Turning around to look at his brothers who were injured to varying degrees, Qin Huai took out a [Shangqing Sanmao Taiyi Resurrection Talisman]. After a few breaths, a fine rain condensed from the clear and fine nectar began to drip onto a dozen seriously injured soldiers, emitting a soft white light.

The rest of the Shenwu Tianqi who stayed behind followed suit, tearing open the medicine talismans that had been distributed earlier and letting the bright white light cover the wounds.

Seeing that the most seriously injured cavalry guards and Kuilong horse were out of danger, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief and urged his horse to come to the side of the dark gold armor, with thoughts surging in his mind.

This time, they rushed into Talas in one go and dispersed the Lionheart Knights. Although they could not do without the help of the Qingwei Talisman, Qin Huai was very satisfied with the performance of the Shenwu Tianqi. Overall, the Shenwu Tianqi was indeed a rare and powerful army, but it was a pity that the number of people was too small and the tasks they could do were really limited.

There is no problem with decapitation raids and intelligence gathering, but asking them to attack or defend a city and engage in a head-on confrontation is not so feasible.

In the battle to defend the city, we still have to rely on the Shenwu Army carrying a large amount of baggage.

Qin Huai thought secretly as he pulled off the visor of Lionheart, revealing the knight's distorted face.

"Come, let me see what makes you special."

In the tent of the Turkic leader, Qin Huai, holding the "Lion Heart", just stepped into the lobby and saw the heavy machine that was two people tall.

[Hercules' Stand]

Category: Mechanical Creation
Quality: Rare

The Avalon Heritage discovered by the Messiah Church, the masterpiece of the Minerva Agency, can complete the arming and repair of most mobile armors including the Seraph. (Except the Flying Cavalry)
Only with the help of the Hercules Frame's high-precision robotic arm can humans wear mobile armor that uses neural connection technology.

characteristic:
[Programming]: Press the button and the Hercules Frame will automatically wear and inspect the mobile armor according to the records of the built-in differential engine.

Note: Fool-proof operation, good news for fools.

The black ripples dissipated, and Qin Huai didn't think much about it. He immediately placed Ash's body on the iron chair as instructed and pushed the brass button.

Crackling~
Accompanied by a burst of sparks and arcs, the three-power core [Lion's Heart] was methodically disassembled into dozens of components by the robotic arm. Not long after, all that was left on the iron chair was a stiff, cold, naked corpse.

The spine covered with golden needle electrodes was pulled out from the tightly fitted back, bringing out a little black blood.

"This is."

[Alchemical Technology: Neural Current Circuit]

Quality: Legend!
Condition: damaged
Origin: Minerva Agency
It improves the resonance and coupling between the wearer and the mobile armor, and can only be installed on the mobile armor spine with a special structure.

Current neural current circuit connection multiples: 2-32 (adjustable)

The higher the number of neural current circuit connections, the greater the wearer's neural load, but the corresponding neural reaction speed and degree of freedom are also higher.

Transformation requirements: Alchemy mastery 60%
Note: The Avalon Legacy, which is listed as an S-level core technology by the Minerva Agency, is the supreme hegemony of steam-powered weapons.

No wonder the Lion's Heart is not as bulky as other mobile armors, but can perform as many difficult moves as humans. It turns out it's because of this!
Qin Huai suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately took out this unique dark gold spine from the robotic arm, turning it over and over to examine it carefully.

"General, there are not many Turks and Hu people left alive in the city."

Fu Mengmaojie stood at the door holding a metal knight without a steam backpack, looking very solemn.

"Massacre the city?"

"Well, these Western barbarians are really no good."

Fu Mengmaojie threw the metal knight with broken limbs to the ground and took out a blood-stained list of supplies from his armor pocket.

"Have you caught all the mice that got away?"

Qin Huai glanced at the unremarkable list of spoils, but he was more concerned about the remnants of the Lionheart who were scattered in the houses in the city.

"Xiao Gui has already taken control of the military station warehouse where the Western Yi people temporarily stored Tianrui. Xue Wen is leading his brothers to check every household. I believe that they will be able to catch those beasts before dawn."

Qin Huai nodded, squatted down and patted the half-dead metal knight.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but he's a good fighter. It took Lao Cheng and I a lot of effort to capture him alive."

Fu Mengmaojie shrugged, and no emotion could be heard in his words.

"Let the brothers repair the city gate. I want to interrogate him."

"Here!"

Looking at Fu Mengmaojie who was bowing but not moving, Qin Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anything else?"

"General, my brothers asked me to ask you if you have any white talismans left. We would like to ask you for a few more with the spoils of war."

Fu Mengmaojie did not hesitate and spoke frankly with the enthusiasm of his brothers.

The Shenwu Tianqi are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They have used countless medicines for wounds and naturally understand that life-saving things like the Qingwei Medicine Talisman with immediate effects are hard to come by.

Qin Huai smiled silently, and a thick stack of medicine talismans appeared in his hand.

As the military commander of the Shenwu Tianqi, he certainly understood that the battlefield was dangerous and that more talismans meant more lives. So when he saw his subordinates begging, he was happy to show mercy and win their hearts.

"Tell the brothers to give each of them three. I won't ask for more afterwards, so just pick three at random from their spoils."

"Thank you for your consideration, General!"

Using three pieces of property to exchange for three lives is simply giving it away for free. Husband Meng Maojie is also a smart man. He knows that this is Qin Huai's special care, so he didn't say anything more and turned around to do his work.

Looking at the prisoners breathing evenly, Qin Huai twisted his neck, and the power of Canglan emerged, condensing into a slightly white transparent water ball in the palm of his hand.

A basin-sized amount of ice water was poured onto the Metal Knight's face, chilling him from the top of his head to the base of his tail.

The knight suddenly woke up, and his pale pupils met Qin Huai's calm brown eyes.

"woke up?"

The Metal Knight said nothing, but twisted his lumbar spine, trying to sit up from the ground.

The ferocious iron finger inserted into the gap at the back of the neck. Qin Huai swung it hard, and the metal knight weighing hundreds of kilograms crashed into the corner of the wall and sat side by side with Ash's body.

Name: Enzo Pater

Position: Adjutant of the Lionheart Knights, Captain of the Seventh Section of the Fifth Division of the Inquisition
Status: Tianrui mixed blood
Expertise: Armor and swordsmanship 80%, ???
Threat Level: Deep Red
Note: On the surface, he is an adjutant of the Lionheart Knights, but in reality he is a spy planted by the Papal States.

"Enzo Pater? Captain of the Inquisition?"

Hearing Qin Huai reveal his deepest secret, Enzo was shocked and said, "How did you know?!"

It’s okay, I can understand it.

Qin Huai pointed at the dead body of Yaxiu lying beside him and said, "It was your immediate superior, Lieutenant Colonel Yaxiu of the Judgment Bureau, who told me."

"Impossible! The Inquisition is in charge of individual lines. Even he can't know my identity! You are deceiving me!"

Enzo calmed down and quickly looked at the Tangren who was asking the question and the surrounding environment, wanting to see if he could fight for a chance of survival with his experience and wisdom.

Qin Huai's appearance at this time was not very good. Whether it was the bumpy chest armor and arm armor, or the red and black battle-damaged paint, they were much worse than the dark gold shining [Lion's Heart] next to it.

But Enzo still had the illusion that he would never be able to escape once he was targeted.

"Tell me, where is the Holy Crusade?"

A clear green lightning snake suddenly appeared on Qin Huai's index finger, and the electric light condensed into a tip spit towards Enzo, making a slight hissing sound.

"I don't know, just kill me."

Enzo thought about his sister at home and the death pension, then he closed his eyes and decided to die calmly.

"Okay, it's a man, let it play with you for a while."

Qin Huai was too lazy to ask any more questions. Razer jumped lightly onto Enzo's shoulder, got into his neck, and moved along his spinal nerves.

After glancing at the model of armor on Enzo, Qin Huai ignored him and put all the components of [Hercules's Frame] and [Lion's Heart] into his personal space.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, only some gear parts and spare components were left in the huge tent.
-
On top of the high city wall, the Shenwu Tianqi wearing the [Flying Cavalry Guard] picked out the still usable Dragon Roar heavy artillery and explosive bombs, moved them to the gaps between the battlements, and barely built a temporary fire line.

In the Knights' barracks, several veterans who were proficient in the repair of rune armor picked out spare supplies from their backpacks and replaced and repaired several badly damaged [Flying Guards] without saying a word.

The remaining Shenwu Tianqi were also not idle. Some of them were sorting the supplies looted by the Western barbarians and stacking them in boxes for easy use; the other part was stripping off all the mobile armor of the dead knights to check whether any survivors were missed.

"General, this stone door is made of special materials and is difficult to repair. With our current means, we can only pour molten iron on it to barely block the gap."

The fair-skinned Tianqi craftsman pointed at the ugly giant door and asked Qin Huai if he had any other ideas.

"That's it, it's not much different."

Qin Huai, who was rummaging through the captured supplies, looked up, nodded without comment, and called Fu Mengmaojie, who was preparing to deploy defenses, over.

"Tell the brothers to hide when guarding the city tonight. If you see any Western barbarians trying to escape, don't rush to catch them. Let them run."

"General, do you want to follow the clues to find out who is behind this? Should we leave a horse for them?"

Fu Mengmaojie nodded to indicate that he understood.

"No need, just leave those two-wheelers alone."

Qin Huai waved his hand, put the selected cinnabar animal skin on the tray, and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"I have marked the Xiyi you just sent. As long as he escapes successfully, we have a good chance of finding his hiding place."

Just as the two were studying how to grasp the movements of the Western Barbarians, Xue Wen led a delicate little girl to the city gate.

"General, we found a witch."

"Oh? Miko?"

A familiar noun floated into his ears. Qin Huai turned around and looked at the girl who was only eight or nine years old. He took a quick glance but did not react at all.

Sometimes, no reaction is also a reaction.

This girl is not simple.

"Take good care of her and bring her back to Chang'an after the war."

Qin Huai didn't have any good ideas, so he left some instructions and found a quiet room to start drawing talismans.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the fruit natives during today's raid, Qin Huai used restrained means to deal with the enemy, and the meteorological power in his body was not consumed much, so it was just right to use it to produce talismans.

The afterglow covered the sky again, and as the setting sun slowly fell below the horizon, the sparse shouts and explosions in the city gradually disappeared, and Talas became a dead city again.

In the tent of the Turkic leader.

As night fell, Enzo, who had been tortured to death by the Green Thunder Snake not long ago, suddenly opened his eyes and, while no one was watching, he endured the pain of broken limbs and hooked his little finger to take off the armor on his hands.

After struggling to climb to the original location of the [Hercules's Frame] and looking at the replaced components of the [Lion's Heart], Enzo picked up a can of red mercury that was still half full, slapped open the special inner pocket on the side of the armor, revealing a rather small retaining spring interface.

The copper pipes were connected, steam gushed out, and the mobile armor regained its vitality, forcing the wounded Enzo to stand up.

As the injection built into the armor was slowly pushed in, Enzo's face, which had been trembling and pale due to severe pain, gradually regained its color. He picked up a few tools that could barely be used, estimated the reserves of red mercury, and broke open the door to escape.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As a spy of the Inquisition, Enzo naturally has his own way of escaping.

In the southwest corner of Talas, Enzo hid in the safe house prepared earlier. After taking off his armor and hastily treating his injuries, he put on his armor again and got on the Stein motorcycle that had been hidden all along, carrying several steam backpacks.

Looking at the west gate that was blocked by thick huge trees, Enzo's eyes were full of madness.

If you can't escape, you will die!
