Blue Sword

Sarmatia, top floor.

The top floor does not have various narrow corridors, vertical and horizontal pipes, and constantly buzzing production lines. Instead, it consists of clear tile floors and wide and bright rooms.

Obviously, if the lower floors are for synthetic humans, then the top floor is for real humans to live and work. Humans’ unique aesthetics and pursuit of the living environment can be seen everywhere.

Everyone walked in the elegantly decorated corridor. Eleanor used the fog of will to carefully explore the surroundings, but did not find any enemies.

Arriving at the end of the corridor, Mason opened the door and went in.

The door is open, there is no trap.

The room inside seemed to be a conference room, which was still empty at this time. In fact, when everyone fought from the outside to the bottom and then to the top, all they encountered were synthetic humans, and they never encountered any humans from the Holy See.

A stack of information was placed on the table in the center of the conference room, with nothing else around it, as if it was placed here specifically for everyone to see.

Leopold, the God of War, stepped forward, picked up the document, flipped it over, and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, we were right to come up here. This information is very valuable."

"Your Excellency, can you tell me what the information is?" Ask asked casually.

"It's not something that needs to be concealed." Leopold said seriously, "The Holy See has 32 mobile drone hives like Sarmatia."

"Six of them have arrived in Italy and are about to go north to launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Emperor's coalition forces. The other 13 are coming from near the Mediterranean Sea."

"We must pass this information to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible to prevent him from making rash strategic decisions without knowing it."

"Of course." Mason added, "After destroying the Sarmatia."

"That's it." Ask understood immediately.

In other words, as long as this information is brought back to the emperor's coalition camp, it will immediately improve the Dukes' estimate of the strength of the Holy See, and there will be arguments to force the emperor to make concessions and withdraw his troops back home.

Seeing that the two demigods came to the conclusion so "naturally", it is obvious that they have a potential tacit understanding and consensus with the Holy See... In other words, at least the lords of the Principality of Thuringia and the Principality of Carinthia no longer want to accompany him. The emperor fights this war.

Everyone went downstairs along the original route, but this time they did not encounter any more enemies. To be honest, it is a very bizarre thing that there are so few defensive forces inside a drone hive, but everyone pretends not to realize this.

Arriving at the door of the energy room, Mason pressed his hand on the door when his expression suddenly changed.

"Radiation?" Leopold asked immediately upon seeing this.

"Pretty strong radiation." Mason replied, "Perhaps when this place was originally designed, it was specially designed for only synths to enter and exit."

Radiation will penetrate the cell tissue of living things, but it doesn't matter to synthetics as long as the surface is spray-painted with isolation. Therefore, the nuclear fusion reactor in the energy room is designed to be maintained by synthetics, eliminating the need for many radiation protection devices.

"That's up to you, let's go first." Leopold said this, turned to the side, and split the wall with a sword.

"Okay." Mason said.

Leopold led everyone through the gap in the wall and came to the outside of Sarmatia.

It was quiet outside at this time. Whether it was the synthesizers stationed in the park or the drones hovering in the sky in groups, they had disappeared without a trace.

Everyone once again passed through the force field wall and left the range of the anti-magic magnetic field. They suddenly felt that their spirituality was lightened and they felt relaxed.

After walking a few kilometers and returning to the Po River, there was suddenly an almost deafening dull sound from behind. Everyone turned around and saw a small mushroom cloud rising from the distance.

"Your Excellency the Bear of the Wasteland..." Eleanor said hesitantly.

"He's fine." Leopold said lightly.

As if to confirm his words. Just a few minutes later, Mason, the bear of the wasteland, "flashed" in front of everyone.

The body arrived first, and then came the rolling sonic boom.

"Done." The demigod was completely unscathed and in a happy mood. He waved his hand and said, "Go back to the city!"

At the same time, the city of Solomon in the south and the Lateran Palace also received news of the destruction of Sarmatia.

"Have all the imaging materials been collected?"

"Um."

"Raphael has compiled and archived all the relevant information about the Blue Sword people. However... the physical fitness of the demigods is really exaggerated. I really want to study it."

"I've researched it many times, but to no avail. Have you forgotten?"

"Observation is collapse."

——————————————

Emperor's Allied Forces, camp.

When everyone returned to the camp, they saw that the entire camp was in chaos, with burning black smoke and large blood stains everywhere.

It is said that while everyone was on their way to perform their mission, the Imperial camp was infiltrated and raided by synthetic assassins.

Of course, infiltration and raids are commonplace in imperial camps, but this time they encountered something different.

The synthetic assassin who came to destroy was covered with a highly simulated silicone human skin.

"The results are out." In the tent where the emperor and the dukes gathered, the body of Knight Gobelo was carried in by the Blade Knights. "This body was found under the bed of Sir Gobelo's tent. Death. The time was midnight yesterday, and the cause of death was throat slitting. The movements were very standard. It can be seen that he had no time to resist in his sleep and was killed in an instant."

The Blade's scribe reported to the Emperor, then pointed to another corpse nearby.

This is the remains of a synthetic human. A large hole has been blown out of the chest, and the remaining electric sparks are beating. What is frightening is that the surface of the wreckage is covered with a layer of silicone, and its appearance is exactly the same as normal human skin, both visually and to touch.

"We examined the cut on the forearm of the synthetic man, and the shape was consistent with the wound on the neck of Knight Goberlo."

"In other words, this synthetic assassin disguised as Gobero Knight first sneaked into the camp wearing human skin, and then entered Gobero Knight's camp at night and killed him."

"Then, under this identity, it went around the camp to conduct reconnaissance, sabotage armaments, and assassinate important targets until it was witnessed and exposed."

"What if this time..." the emperor's beard trembled angrily, "instead of destroying everywhere, it chooses to go straight to my camp and assassinate me! What will happen?"

No one answered.

"How many more such synthetic assassins are there in the camp?" The emperor suppressed his rage and asked again.

"Your Majesty, from the day before yesterday to today, a total of 612 soldiers and knights have left the camp and returned to the camp..." the Blade Warrior secretary reported quickly.

"Check! Check them all for me!" The emperor waved his hand angrily, "Isolate these suspects until the investigation is clear!"

"Your Majesty," the Duke of Bavaria said, "most of the knights and soldiers in the camp are currently unaware of the existence of this synthetic assassin. If these people are rashly isolated, I am afraid it will accelerate the spread and spread of rumors."

"Once the rumor spreads, it will inevitably seriously damage the morale and order of the army. After all, we have not yet seen through this disguise."

The Dukes all agreed. For soldiers and knights, if they knew that their companions fighting side by side might be disguised as synthetic assassins, big trouble would definitely follow.

"Then what do you think we should do?" The emperor suppressed his anger again.

"It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside." said the Duke of Bavaria. "Downplay the impact of this attack to the outside world and prohibit relevant personnel from leaking information. At the same time, we tighten the control of order in the camp and set up sword warriors at traffic arteries to interrogate suspicious persons."

"Just do as you say!" the emperor said impatiently.
