Chapter 86 85. Energy explodes again

More than half an hour has passed since the elite team breached the guard tower.

Upstream of the underground river, thousands of meters away from the imperial army.

The Necronomicon cargo ship, carrying an aura of death and decay, sailed from the hinterland of the Necronomicon sect.

Carrying heavy loads, they passed over the river like iron plows, sweeping the foul-smelling river water to both banks.

Wherever the cargo ship passed, the river water rose significantly, and the cargo on the ship was extremely heavy.

These cargo ships were composed of rotten wood and rusty iron nails, covered with dark green moss and greasy sludge, and were as dilapidated as sunken ships that had been sleeping on the seabed for hundreds of years.

But this kind of ship, which seemed to be about to fall apart at any time, sailed steadily for a long time amidst the sound of creaking wood deformation, and never encountered any accidents such as water leakage, tilting, or anchoring.

There is no doubt that the rune of death is protecting them.

There are a large number of dark marks on the deck and cabin of the cargo ship, which are the undead runes written by the undead priests.

The undead always like to use this blasphemous power to protect their own magic devices and important facilities.

They are definitely going to die today.

Because these cargo ships cannot activate the magic protective shield when they are sailing, otherwise the navigation of the ship will be interfered with due to the magical reaction between the river water and the protective shield.

Another reason why this fleet must fail today is that they are completely unaware of the crisis on the shore and in the river.

The ruins of the watchtower were pushed into the underground river by the imperial army and piled on the river bed, forming an obstacle sticking out of the water.

And on the shore where the poisonous mist drifts, a full 10 squadrons are lurking here.

They used Gray Worm obstacles to build temporary barriers and constructed a fierce interception front, supplemented by camouflage paint to hide their whereabouts.

In this front line integrated with the river bank, hundreds of large-caliber gun barrels were pointed at the floating wreckage of the river.

Li Nuo personally participated in this interception mission, and was also equipped with a light machine gun using biological and chemical warheads.

He didn't get this treatment originally.

But since he realized that group fighting and tail grabbing were the real uses of deconstruction, he shamelessly approached Lieutenant Slack and bluntly stated that he wanted to control a light machine gun.

This is pretty much what he told Lieutenant Slack:

Sir, I don’t know when I will die in the death storm. As an imperial man, I have always dreamed of feeling the thrill of holding a light machine gun and shooting at the enemy amidst the roar of gunfire. Can you allocate me a light machine gun?

Machine gun, arrange three more privates for me to help me replace the ammunition chain and water tank.

After Lieutenant Slack thought for a moment, he readily agreed.

This may be the compromise made by Lieutenant Slack after realizing the value of Li Nuo.

Li Nuo didn't think about it so much. He only thought about how to grab the tail knife.

"Everyone goes silent... Our enemy is coming."

Lieutenant Slack gave the order with a hand signal.

The Imperial Army was silent.

All the military fortresses disguised as rocks are silent.

All armies greeted the undead fleet that they had been waiting for for a long time with silence and gaze.

The entire interdiction operation had only one fatal flaw:

That's the sentry tower that disappeared from the shore.

The undead fleet must have a map of the underground canal route.

If they find that the place where the sentry tower should have been turned into an open space, they will definitely sound the alarm immediately.

However, don't worry about this.

In order to stop this undead fleet that would cause tomb riots wherever it went, the Vidas army invested a large amount of personnel, ammunition and explosives regardless of the cost.

The moment the Necromancer fleet discovered that the watchtower had disappeared, an overwhelming barrage of bullets and bombs had already fallen on them.

"Wow~Wow~"

The river surges, the river level rises, and the water laps against the shore.

Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the approaching undead cargo ship.

He threw out a series of deconstruction techniques, scanning all the cargo ships within his field of vision.

There are six ships in this fleet.

The first ship and the last ship are well-armed battle ships, transporting some magic stones along the way.

The four ships sandwiched in the middle are pure cargo ships, with only ordinary undead crew and cargo on board, and no decent defense force.

Tomb Troopers are the coolies on the ship.

The ghost crew is the helmsman and sailor who controls the oars and mast.

The skulls hanging on the sides of the ship and on the observation decks are from the unlucky skeleton soldiers who served as the ship's lookouts.

Whether it is a combat ship or a cargo ship, they have two sources of power.

One is river water.

In the underground space where there is no wind, the undead ships can only travel along the current.

Another source of power are the massive leg bones that protrude from the bottom of the ship.

These leg bones are about 20 meters long, and each cargo ship has 4 of them.

The leg bones stepped on the river bed and "carried" the cargo ship along, which not only speeded up the ship's sailing speed, but also shared the weight of the cargo, so that the cargo ship would not be crushed by the mountains of dead rocks.

What concerned Li Nuo the most were the undead monks and undead priests standing on the battleship.

These guys all have strength comparable to the first-order "Imperial Fist". If they attack fiercely, they will definitely cause quite a stir.

But again, there is no need to worry about their existence.

Because the Vidas army deployed a full 30 elite combatants, 6 second lieutenants and 1 lieutenant in the blocking front.

This was an unequal battle. The empire was extremely powerful and was always hidden, never disturbing the undead.

"Attention, Jarvis, the target ship we want to keep an eye on is here."

Sergeant Mars held the ammunition chain in his hand, ready to reload Li Nuo's ammunition.

He pointed to the fifth to last ship in the fleet.

The Imperial Army will split the six ships into three.

Their first trump card is the mine buried under the river surface.

"Beep~" The leading battleship noticed the disappearing sentry tower, and a loud horn sounded on the ship.

At the same time, Lieutenant Slack raised his arm and gave the order:

"Detonate!"

The sergeants received the command from their superiors and pressed the detonators in front of them without hesitation.

In an instant, more than a dozen water columns rose from the long river and reached the ceiling.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of explosions resounded through the underground space and set off huge waves on the river.

When a mine detonates, the impact of the explosion stirs the river water, tears the river bank, and the river water pours onto the bank.

The flow rate of the river water became unstable, and the river bed was also blasted into deep and shallow pits.

The huge leg bones at the bottom of the Necron ship did not survive the explosion.

Their joints were pulled by the rushing river water, and their legs and feet were suddenly unstable. They accidentally stepped into the pit caused by the mine and lost their center of gravity.

These huge leg bones are connected to the cabin of the ship, and they move the whole body. When the ship is affected by the leg bones, the hull of the ship tilts and tilts.

"Boom..Boom"

Several more explosions came from the underground river, but it was not the imperial army detonating the mines again, but the ship losing control and hitting the shore.

The hull of the ship crushed the fragile river bank and fell to the ground.

The sound of hard objects rolling was heard in the cargo hold, and a large number of death stones hit the wall.

There are several walls that are particularly fragile. They were overwhelmed by the impact of tons of dead rocks, and the openings opened with a loud crack.

The dead stones rolled out from the cracks in the wall, dumped on the river bank, or fell into the stinking river water.

Such a series of earth-shaking changes all happened in just 20 seconds.

By the time the undead creatures on the ship howled and launched a counterattack, all six undead ships had already stranded on the shore.

"Fire! Fire! Annihilate these filthy bastards!"

Lieutenant Slack roared and took the lead in pulling the trigger of the light machine gun.

Suddenly, there were 270 more tongues of fire on the underground river bank!

Each tongue of fire spitting out a torrent of bullets corresponds to a light machine gun!

In just one second, dense bullet holes appeared on the hulls of all the Necromancer ships!

The undead fleet had no time to activate the magic protective shield!

The appearance of dense bullet holes undoubtedly destroyed the undead runes on the cabin.

Those rotten, decaying ship hulls that should have been completely decomposed by the force of nature have finally reached their end.

As the runes were destroyed, the rotten wood on the hull quickly withered and turned into black mud and fell into the river.

The rusty iron nails shed iron filings, turning into black gravel and sinking to the bottom of the river.

Whether it was the Death Stone, the terrifying Tomb Corpse Soldiers or the ghost crew, they were all penetrated by the ocean-like torrent of bullets as the ship withered, instantly losing their "life" and sinking with the rotting hull.

Only the undead monks and undead priests who possess extraordinary powers can survive the disaster of the ship sinking.

However, they all lead to a dead end.

The Crypt Spider, the mid-level undead unit that once chased Li Nuo away, only lasted for three seconds when hit by the concentrated artillery fire of the fort giant, and was then blasted into rubble by the artillery fire and sank to the bottom of the water.

The Frost Skeleton Mage drew water from the river, and could only hold on for two seconds against the filthy wall of ice around him.

Within 0.1 seconds after the bullet penetrated the ice wall, its skeletal body, its skull, and everything about it were reduced to nothing in the roaring wind of bullets—except for the magic heart.

Spiritual undead creatures are immune to physical attacks. Is this feature useful in this battle?

Useless!

All spirit undead units receive special "preferential treatment" from the empire.

Dragon breath bullets filled with liquid explosives, lightning bullets that explode with lightning upon collision, and honey jelly bullets filled with biochemical honey jelly.

These special bullets, which are far more expensive than ordinary bullets, regardless of whether they are useful or not, are all destined for the spirit-like undead troops.

The Ghost Crew held on for half a second.

The ghost mate and the captain held on for two seconds.

The disheveled wailing banshee lasted three seconds.

The Death Skeleton Mage, who was holding a scythe and wearing a cloak, and could protect himself with a "magic shield", only lasted five seconds.

The few undead Beyonders were lucky enough to escape the barrage, but they could not escape the hunting of the elite team.

The molten steel giant transformed by Lieutenant Slack used the lava rays shot from the furnace in its belly to explode the heads of several mid-level undead creatures.

The heavy artillery giant's artillery is even more invincible.

If you transfer this kind of powerful artillery shell, which is specially used to hit the magic protective shield, and use it to hit the undead extraordinary, it will be a perfect shot.

When the last undead creature fell down on the scene, the entire underground river was filled with smoke and dust, and the echoes of countless guns and guns echoed in the underground space without stopping for a long time.

This is a battle where guns defeat the undead.

The empire invested more than 200 light machine guns, millions of conventional bullets, hundreds of thousands of special bullets, and at least 300 honey bombs.

The participants include 10 squadrons of the Vidas army, about 3,000 ordinary soldiers, and at least 40 extraordinary soldiers.

Is it worth investing such a huge investment just to stop a fleet of undead ships?

The answer is obvious.

worth!

Those rough death stones that rolled down the river bank and sank to the bottom of the river were the most direct results of this battle.

These death stones alone are enough to cover the combat expenses.

Not to mention what an advantage blocking a fleet full of ore would create for the legions fighting in the Blade's Edge Mountains.

No matter what the Necromancer Sect wants to do in the Blade's Edge Mountains, or why the Necromancer Sect is so anxious to transport a large number of raw death stones to the Blade's Edge Mountains.

Anyway, the Corabo Legion will definitely eat this batch of death stones!

"Everyone follows the plan!"

Lieutenant Slack held up his loudspeaker and said loudly amidst the excited shouts of the soldiers on the scene:

"Our battle is not over yet! These ores must be sent to the legion's fortress as soon as possible! Everyone obeys the order! Clean the battlefield immediately!"

Lieutenant Slack shouted several times and finally managed to control the restless soldiers.

This is not because the soldiers were dazzled by victory and lost their discipline.

But the previous battle was too fierce.

The noise of more than 200 light machine guns and more than 2,000 rifles did not stun the soldiers, which is already very good.

Anyway, Li Nuo picked out his ears several times, and then he heard Lieutenant Slack's call amidst the ringing in his ears.

To be honest, this battle is definitely the most enjoyable battle that Li Nuo has experienced since time travel.

Most importantly, attacking undead creatures with a light machine gun can also trigger passive deconstruction!

At that moment, Li Nuo received a system message about the film.

He picked out his ears and went to pick up the Death Stone while flipping through the system messages in his mind.

Looking at the text content carefully, Li Nuo felt a little embarrassed.

Due to the poor accuracy of the light machine gun, and the fact that it was Li Nuo's first time operating this thing, the previous busy work looked very lively and exciting, but in fact he only managed to get two kills.

However, this is enough!

[You used your light machine gun to cause fatal damage to the "Crypt Spider"!]

[You successfully killed a "Crypt Evil Spider"! ]

[Passive deconstruction activates!]

【伱Unlocked the general panel of "Crypt Spider". 】

[You have restored 1400 energy points! 】

One thousand four hundred energy points!

Li Nuo has been used to poverty since he traveled to this borderland of misery. He has never seen so much energy!

This is just one of the gains.

[You successfully killed a "Frost Skeleton Mage"! 】

[Passive deconstruction activates!]

[You have obtained the panel information of "Frost Skeleton Mage".]

[You have restored 1800 energy points! 】

The energy value inventory suddenly rose to 3213 points!

Just like a dream!

Li Nuo wished he could pinch himself on the thigh several times to see if he was sleepwalking.

This feeling of getting rich overnight is too illusory and ethereal.

Li Nuo took the opportunity to bend down and pick up the Death Stone and took a few deep breaths before he completely calmed down and accepted the fact that he had transformed into a "rich man".

He brought up the panels for the Crypt Spider and the Death Skeleton Mage and flipped through them briefly, a light of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.

"It turns out that the extraordinary system of the Necronomicon Sect is like this..."

Li Nuo murmured to himself.

To put it simply, the extraordinary abilities of mid-level undead creatures come from precious magic materials.

Inside the body of the Crypt Evil Spider, there is a magic material called "The Split Heart of the Crypt Spider Mother".

The Crypt Spider Mother is the leader of the Necromantic Cult and the Grudge Faction, and holds the position of faction bishop.

The Crypt Spider Mother will regularly take out the split heart she gave birth to and give it to her priests for use.

After receiving this magical material, ordinary undead creatures will transform into extraordinary beings and master some of the extraordinary abilities derived from the Crypt Spider Mother.

Similarly, the extraordinary abilities of the Frost Skeleton Mage also come from the leader of a certain undead faction.

This faction is called the "Foolish Faction".

Its leader is "Frost Demon Bone".

Frost Demon Bones will transform the organs of undead creatures into magical organs with "frost energy source".

The spellcasting ability of the Frost Skeleton Mage comes from this magical organ.

The magical material in the eyes of the Necromantic Cult is exactly the mutation material in the eyes of the Tatis Empire's MI3.

Imperial lieutenants who master various extraordinary abilities use these mutant materials as medicine to gain extraordinary abilities through controllable mutations.

This information should only be available to those at the rank of lieutenant in the imperial army.

Li Nuo closed the system interface and looked at the scene carefully.

As expected, Lieutenant Slack and his lieutenants had no interest in the Death Stone.

Their attention was entirely on the magic materials exploded by the Necromancer crew.

The smiles on their lips, no matter how much they concealed them, were still keenly noticed by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced around, his eyes locked on a piece of cold magical heart.

He threw out the Deconstruction Technique, read the feedback from the Deconstruction Technique, and then shook his head regretfully.

This magical heart will indeed bring extraordinary abilities of the frost system.

It sounds beautiful, but it's actually very dangerous.

Similar to the situation of deconstructing the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline", the system provides two deconstruction methods: conventional deconstruction and harmless deconstruction.

Routine deconstruction of the magical heart will be contaminated by the spiritual pollution of the Necronomicon sect and distort one's own heart and thinking.

Harmless deconstruction can avoid this negative effect, but it requires an investment of more than 30,000 energy points...

Li Nuo looked at the lieutenants at the scene again, his eyes slightly narrowed.

There is no sign of corruption among these lieutenants.

It seems that MI3 has not had nothing to do over the years and has found a way to solve the negative effects of mutant materials.

This will definitely require a huge investment of manpower, financial and material resources, and it is not impossible that someone will even lose their life.

If MI3 and the Emperor knew that deconstructing the core system would only cost 30,000 energy points, they would be able to obtain the results of their decades of research...

Then they must be crazy about deconstructing the core system.

On the one hand, it is years of hard research, on the other hand, it is pure energy investment. Comparing the two, the awesomeness of deconstructing the core system is undoubtedly highlighted.

Li Nuo now fully realized how powerful deconstructing the core system was in terms of research.

It is simply comparable to the existence of researchers in a country.

"How should I spend the more than 3,200 points of energy on my hands?"

Li Nuo picked up the Death Stone and silently figured out how to use up his energy.

Theoretically, he has two good ways to consume energy.

The first way to consume it is to upgrade your existing skills.

"Death Spell", "Magic Shield", "Fear Spell".

One attack, one defense, one control.

These three skills are directly related to personal combat power, and their upgrade priority is very high. It will definitely not be a loss if you invest your energy in these three skills.

The second consumption method is to harmlessly deconstruct the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline" to gain more extraordinary knowledge and spells about death.

If you spend 3,000 energy points, the number of things that can be deconstructed will be dazzling.

But specific returns are difficult to predict.

There may be situations where you “bite off more than you can chew”:

Deconstructing a lot of things that are temporarily useless, such as "The Art of Death".

It may also be a situation where "there are too many skills but not enough body":

Li Nuo was provided with many death spells at once, filling his spell list to the brim.

No matter what the situation is, it is a bit too focused on long-term interests and ignores the improvement of combat power in the short term.

Li Nuo thought about it and came to a conclusion.

First upgrade all the skills that need to be upgraded.

Wait until the cost-effectiveness of upgrading skills is reduced, then harmlessly deconstruct the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline".

Li Nuo brought up his personal panel and focused on the spell entries.

Just as he was about to upgrade his skills, a sound of footsteps came from behind.

Li Nuo temporarily suppressed the upgrade operation in his mind and turned around to look over.

But he saw Sergeant Mars running over anxiously, holding a copper whistle in his hand.

"Jarvis, follow me." Sergeant Mars looked solemn and said in a low voice:

"Captain Murphya needs your help. The matter is urgent."

"Okay, lead the way, sir."

The two of them trotted forward.

Lieutenant Slack's guards received the news in advance and did not prevent them from leaving.

Far away from the shore and close to the underground passage, Mars stopped and raised his hand in salute toward the darkness.

A slim figure stepped out of the shadows.

It was Captain Murphya, holding the metal box containing the "Bone Wand" in her hand.

"Mars, you go back first and continue to perform the mission with Lieutenant Slack. Jarvis, you stay."

"Yes, sir." Mars turned and ran away.

Only Li Nuo and Murphy Ya were left at the scene.

"Reporting to you, sir, what do you need me to do?" Li Nuo raised his hand and saluted.

Murphya waved to him, gesturing for him to follow her.

The two of them walked some distance away from the army, and finally stopped in a dark place where no one noticed.

Captain Murphy's wore a hood and covered his face with a mask and hanging hair, still looking as cool as ever.

But there was something unexpectedly anxious in her words:

"Jarvis, help me remove the magic protective shield that protects the wand. People from MI2 have been tracking the breath of the magic protective shield. I have to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise they will catch up sooner or later!"

Huh..Okay, you came to me for help again..

Li Nuo calmed down and nodded.

"Okay, sir, I'll do my best."
