Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Chapter 15 Secret Mission, Armor-Piercing Falcon

The night after Luo Kunlun returned.

The night was cool and still, and the sounds of snoring filled the barracks, with only the occasional rustling of armor from the patrolling soldiers breaking the silence.

Inside the barracks, Luo Kunlun was secretly using nanomachines to operate at a special frequency.

Just then, a slight touching sound came from outside the room. Upon seeing this, Luo Kunlun immediately stopped and pretended to be asleep.

The man who arrived was Gray. This key member of the military camp no longer had his usual smile on his face. After waking up Luo Kunlun and the other person he shared a room with, he gave them a serious look, signaling them to come with him.

I got up, put on my coat, and followed Gray through the shadows of the barracks to the old tree in the corner of the training ground.

At this time, nineteen people had gathered there.

Layton stood at the front, the knight's sword at his waist gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Including Lo Kunlun, the twenty men were all elites of the hundred-man squad, top-notch veterans. In addition, there were Layton's confidants, who communicated with each other only through eye contact.

"Captain, where are we going?" The young soldier named Tom couldn't help but ask in a low voice, his tone tinged with nervousness.

Layton's gaze swept over the crowd, his voice low and deep, "There's a big prey to hunt."

Without further explanation, he simply took out several folded parchments from his pocket and distributed them.

"Here's a map. Ten people per team, set off tonight, and gather at the outskirts of the Ado Forest."

"Ado Forest?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The Ado Forest seems to be a vast forest existing within the Kingdom of Bauhinia.

But it's quite far from Ashenvale, and it's near the territory of some great noble.

It is hundreds of kilometers away from Gray Rock Town.

The fact that they had to travel such a long distance and set off at night clearly indicated that this was not an ordinary bandit suppression or territorial conflict.

"Don't ask too many questions, just follow orders." Layton's tone was unquestionable. "Assemble outside the east gate in half an hour. Don't bring any extra luggage, just weapons, armor, and dry rations. Anyone who leaks information will be dealt with according to military law."

After speaking, the group fell silent and began to move about, gathering their weapons, armor, and rations before leaving under the cover of night.

Layton led one team, and Gray led another.

Lo Kunlun was in Layton's group.

No one had any objections to this unusual and unknown mission, because it was a notification.

From then on, the team marched almost non-stop, covering at least thirty kilometers each day.

During the day, they would hide in the mountains to rest, avoiding passersby and villages, unless it was time to replenish supplies.

At night, they traveled by moonlight. Luo Kunlun was physically strong, and even after days of high-intensity marching, his breathing remained steady. He could even help his teammates check their weapons and treat the blisters on their feet during rest periods.

The scenery along the way gradually changed from groves and farmland to dense woodland.

The air grew increasingly humid, and the pungent smell of decaying leaves replaced the aroma of cooking fires in the village.

After ten days, the team finally arrived at the forest. Before it got dark, they ventured into the Ado Forest and headed to their agreed destination.

Along the way, they encountered groups coming from other directions more than once.

There were archers in light armor, mercenaries carrying greatswords, and squires riding warhorses.

"What exactly is the prey?" Luo Kunlun often pondered this question on the way.

These teams from different factions are clearly all aiming for the same goal.

The fact that he could mobilize so many people and keep the secret from all sides suggests that the value of this "prey" far exceeded his expectations.

After walking for nearly another day, and passing through a dense thicket of bushes, the path suddenly opened up ahead.

A secluded valley appeared before us, and a campsite was located within it.

As Luo Kunlun entered the camp, his pupils contracted slightly, and the nanomachines immediately began scanning.

Inside the valley camp, soldiers came and went, their numbers definitely exceeding a thousand.

Several enormous catapults were being erected by engineers; the wooden frames were so thick that it would take two strong men to encircle them, and the stone baskets at the top were piled high with boulders.

At this moment, several carriages had just entered the camp. The drivers lifted the covers, revealing rows of ballistae on board.

The ballista was pitch black, and the heavy bolts gleamed with a chilling light.

In addition, there were three specially made heavy vehicles with wheels wrapped in thick leather to reduce noise, and the bottom of the carriages was padded with hay to reduce shock, as if the carriages contained a priceless treasure.

Indeed, this is true, as evidenced by the fact that the driver was a knight with a physical fitness level of 5.

The crossbow consists of three sets of bow limbs, the main body of the crossbow, the axle, and the crossbow bolts.

The crossbow was wrapped in a thick wooden coffin, and the outer layer was covered with asphalt and animal hide, making it look like a nobleman's coffin.

The bow limbs were placed in a wooden box lined with wool and bound with iron hoops, while the crossbow bolts were placed separately in a hardwood tube sealed with iron at both ends.

Big, very big.

This is also a ballista, but it weighs at least five tons when assembled!

In addition, the materials seem to be different as well.

Just like that 2-meter-long armor-piercing arrow, the material strength is close to that of tungsten steel. When it is launched, the initial velocity can reach subsonic speed, the effective range is about 600 meters, and the kinetic energy at 100 meters is on par with the penetration power of a large-caliber sniper bullet.

"I never expected to actually see the legendary armored falcon!"

The sound of hooves could be heard not far away, and a warhorse entered the camp amidst the dust.

Following them was a squad of about seventy half-armored soldiers and a chariot drawn by four warhorses.

A young man with flaxen hair was carried on a warhorse; he was clearly an extraordinary nobleman.

The chariot carried a heavily armored warrior, and it was he who had just spoken.

As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes were drawn to the heavily armored knight, including Luo Kunlun's.

No other reason than that heavy armor and greatsword were just too damn cool!

Therefore, the figure was like a moving black iron mountain, with a smooth, cold, matte finish on its full set of heavy armor, and a streamlined breastplate that reflected a ghostly light in the dim light.

The double-layered eagle-wing shoulder armor, like a raptor poised to pounce, rises and falls slightly with each breath. The fully enclosed helmet only reveals the eyes and narrow breathing slits. The visor emits a deep metallic hum when it opens and closes, while the inner shock-absorbing cotton transforms the heaviness of the heavy armor into stable protection.

The hinge joints of the arm guards and leg guards have a hidden mechanism: animal sinew ropes pull the armor plates open and close, which not only does not hinder the wrist rotation when swinging the sword, but also protects vital organs when charging.

The combat boots could shatter rocks, each step sending dust flying; the raised protective gear at the knees served both defensive and impact-resistant purposes...

According to nanomachine scanning, the entire suit of armor weighs 120 jin (approximately 60 kg).

With the Knight's physical fitness score of 6.7, moving around in these clothes is not difficult.

That heavy sword was also a weapon of mass destruction; at 1.8 meters long, it was taller than an average person, and the handle was 0.5 meters long and wrapped in oil-soaked leather.

Weighing as much as 45 kilograms, it can be wielded for a long time by a strong person.

The 1.3-meter-long broad blade gleamed with a dark gold luster. The single-sided main blade was so sharp that it could reflect a person's image, while the back blade resembled the sharp teeth of a beast. The material of the triangular armor-piercing sword tip seemed to originate from the same source as the arrowheads of ballistae.

Besides that, most importantly, this outfit is really cool!

In terms of appearance, he looks like the greatsword knight in the CG promotional video that I happened to see when I was the first Lokunlun.

Luo Kunlun couldn't resist rushing up and knocking the man down, then taking off the armor and putting it on himself!
