The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Climb down!" Sensing the danger again, Leo immediately gave a warning, and according to the difference in danger perception, he leaned his body against the earthen wall on one side of the trench.

Jason was a man of action, and when he heard the warning, he instinctively followed Leo's actions and leaned against the nearest dirt wall.

Because of the previous precedent, Nelson also did not dare to neglect this warning, stopped what he was doing, and hid.

The moment the three of them hid, thousands of arrows flew through the air and landed on some places inside and outside the battlefield as well as in the trenches.

The moment the arrow hit the ground, flames emerged from the body of the arrow and splashed around, quickly creating a sea of ​​flames around it, and as the flames burned violently, a pungent smell also spread in the air.

"Damn it! They actually used imine gas, he wants to kill everyone!" Seeing the green smoke coming out of the flames, Nelson immediately yelled in shock.

"Change the doctor's clothes." Although the situation was very urgent, Leo's mind was very calm, and he quickly gave a clear instruction. The doctor's body, covered in wood and earth, was exhumed.

Jason and Nelson also hurried over to help, and soon dug up the two bodies.

Leo and Jason took off the sealing suit from the corpse and put it on. Although the clothes were a bit small, they could barely fit their bodies inside, and they wrapped up the leaking places with other clothes, and then all three of them put on bird beak masks to barely cover the poisonous gas outside.

"Leave immediately, don't pack your things anymore." Leo quickly instructed the two to pick up necessities such as weapons, medicines, food, etc., while he found a set of maps, compass, etc. from the corpse where Liannu was found. Positioning means.

After sorting out the shape a bit, Leo found a rope, tied a loop on the three of them, connected them to each other, and then led the way, plunged into the greenish-yellow poisonous gas smoke , clinging to the trench, moving towards the edge of the battlefield.

Although the smoke is so thick that you can hardly see your fingers, but the three of them are connected by a rope, so there is no danger of getting separated. The only question is whether Leo, the leader, can find the right way to leave in such a thick poisonous gas smoke, and It is also necessary before the protective clothing and masks on the body are corroded by the poisonous gas.

Jason himself had a simple mind, he just felt that it was enough to follow Leo, and he didn't need to think about anything else.

But Nelson thought more. While he was glad that he chose to escape with Leo, he was also worried about whether Leo would be able to take them away alive. However, he has no way out now. Obviously, the French Empire is not prepared to abide by the terms of the Continental Convention on the use of poisonous gas, and is ready to kill all the enemies on the battlefield. I can only pray that Leo can lead him out of this dead situation.

As the guide, Leo is in such a harsh environment. Although it is not very easy, he is not too nervous, because every step he takes is accurately fed back to the sub-brain system, and the outline is deduced in it. Create a three-dimensional walking route map, and then project it back into the retina of his eye, forming a three-dimensional illusion.

With this three-dimensional road map as a guide, he can easily find the correct way to leave. He doesn't have to worry about getting lost in the thick fog of poisonous gas. The only thing he needs to solve is those so-called colleagues who block their way.

Before the Kingdom of France launched the poison gas attack, many soldiers of the Kingdom of England were already hiding in the trenches.

Although these soldiers did not immediately die under the flames formed by the poisonous gas arrows like those who had not had time to hide in the trenches, their situation was equally bad. The poisonous gas that spread rapidly and covered the entire battlefield left them nowhere to go escape.

In a short period of time, these poisonous gases have caused irreparable damage to their optic nerves, olfactory nerves and other nervous organs, which made these soldiers fall into despair, and any creature caught in despair tends to become more Scary and crazy.

When Leo led Jason and Nelson around a poisonous gas flame and entered a corner without flames, he encountered such a group of desperate warriors, who frantically attacked everything around them with sabers, blocking Live the way forward.

Faced with this situation, Leo did not stop, but made a gesture to signal Nelson and Jason behind him to stop, then he extended the rope around his waist to a sufficient distance, and then pulled out a rope from his waist. The dagger moved silently like a civet towards the nearest berserk warrior.

I saw that he easily avoided the warrior's wildly waving sword, and the dagger in his hand randomly slashed in the air, taking away a smear of blood, leaving only the corpse of the warrior whose neck was cut in half.

Every time he jumps and moves, every time the blade flashes, a mad soldier will fall to the ground. In less than four minutes, nearly sixty mad soldiers in the entire trench all fell to the ground. Blood spattered out, staining the soil on the ground red.

If these fighters can still stay awake and cooperate with each other, Leo may have to pay some price if he wants to kill them, but now Leo's difficulty in solving them is no different from solving a group of chickens waiting to be slaughtered.

After checking that there was nothing missing, Leo pulled the rope on his body a few times to inform Nelson and Jason at the other end of the trench that they could come.

Sensing the rhythmic pull on the rope, Nelson hesitated for a moment, but Jason stepped forward boldly, but he had already drawn out the sword in his hand, so he was careful to guard the front.

When Leo killed the first mad warrior, they could barely see some general situation through the poisonous gas smoke.

Although Leo killed so easily, neither of them simply thought that these crazy fighters were really easy to kill. With one exception, the necks were cut open and they were killed with a single knife. This made both of them doubt what they had just thought, and they couldn't help but feel that these fighters rarely kill.

Afterwards, the three of them went through five similar trenches. They all dealt with these soldiers who had been completely insane from the poison gas in the same way. After that, they never encountered similar situations again, not to say that they were not poisoned. fighters, but the poisonous gas has killed all those fighters.

Although Leo has been battle-tested in the Earth Federation, most of the time he fights in small teams, beheading and breaking through. He has never experienced similar large-scale battles, and he has never seen such a scene where poisonous gas kills enemies on a large scale. .

This near-hell scene also made him feel a little worried, and he quickened his pace.

After walking in the trench for about half an hour, the poisonous gas and smoke in front suddenly became much thinner. In the trench, you can see various supplies left by many soldiers when they fled. The corpses of soldiers who died of poisoning are very rare. All of them were seriously injured and unable to move.

Obviously, judging from this scene, when the French Empire launched a poison gas attack, the people stationed here chose to retreat in time, and left behind all burdens, including people.

"These damned guys! May God punish these sinners and let them suffer forever in the fire of hell until the day the world ends." Nelson, who hadn't spoken a word since just now, suddenly let out a malicious curse.

From his words, it is not difficult to hear that he is not only cursing the extermination attack of the Faran Empire, but also cursing those who have the ability to flee with their comrades in arms, but choose to abandon them.

"Aren't we the same?" The simple Jason could hear the meaning of Nelson's words, and murmured disapprovingly, and then suddenly saw a beautiful pocket watch hanging in the arms of a dead body next to him, and hurriedly knelt down and put it on Pick it up and subject it to the pocket.

"No, we're not!" Although Jason's murmur wasn't loud, the surrounding environment was so quiet that Nelson could hear it clearly. He turned around and defended himself, refuted Jason's statement, and just happened to see Jason taking the property of the dead again, so he said in a slightly contemptuous tone: "At least I am not."

Although Jason is a bit stupid and has a straight personality, he has been in the army all year round and has been with the army, and he is not weak at all in bickering. I saw him deliberately shaking the rope connecting each other so as not to get lost, and said with a smile: "We are one."

"Wait a minute, I hope you don't make any noise when you encounter anything." Just when Nelson was about to refute, Leo interrupted the two, and seemed to be dissatisfied with their bickering, warning They said a word, then led the two of them, and walked quickly to a place where the poisonous gas smoke was so thin that an object more than ten meters away could be seen, and then stopped.

Leo seemed to sense something, stood there for a while, then signaled the two to hide behind a bunker, then untied the rope on his body, and also took off the Locke III repeater and handed it to the one who had no self-protection power. Nelson told the two of them: "You two stay here now. If you encounter an enemy approaching, dodge as much as possible. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't attack and expose your whereabouts. I will go outside to check the situation. "

The two nodded to show they understood.

After Leo left, Jason, the idiot, looked around restlessly, then moved a few corpses, and covered himself with them to pretend to be dead.

Nelson on the side rolled his eyes, not to mention why this dead body, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, was covered on the body of a big man who was probably over two meters tall. Some people became suspicious, and there was no camouflage effect at all.

Nelson just wanted to taunt the other party a few words, but thinking of Leo's warning just now, he still endured it.

However, he didn't just sit here and do nothing, but took out four bottles of medicine from the suitcase with various medicines on his waist, and put some of the powder in an iron box , followed by carefully mixing them together, and then took out the arrows in the repeater clip in the hand, let the arrows dip a little of this mixed powder, and reloaded.

Nelson is not good at fighting. Even if he has a sharp weapon in his hand, he can't guarantee that he can accurately shoot the opponent's vital parts after encountering an incident. If he fails to shoot at the vital parts, the opponent will have a chance to issue a warning sound to alert others. So he used a secret poison recipe he had mastered to concoct a highly poisonous drug. Even if the arrow did not hit the target's vitals, these drugs could still take effect in a very short time and kill the target.

Meanwhile, Leo had moved to the edge of the trench.

At this moment, he climbed out of the trench, quickly rolled to the back of a dilapidated bunker nearby, and then slowly stuck his head out to look around.

Although, when he vaguely heard some French words coming from a distance just now, he felt that the situation might not be good, but after seeing the actual situation, he realized that the situation was much worse than he expected.

Right now, at the edge of the battlefield within Leo's line of sight, there are at least seven French Empire troops guarding the trenches behind simple defensive bunkers. These teams are all composed of two types of soldiers, one is the sword armor commando with a sword and armor, and the other is the annihilator who carries a small steam device and holds a steam crossbow.

The Sword Armored Soldiers of the Faran Empire are the most famous arms in the Velen Continent. It can be said that the Faran Empire can occupy half of the Villen Continent, most of which are due to these sword armor soldiers.

Two-handed wide swords, large shields, heavy armor and other equipment have armed the armored soldiers into heavy fortresses. On the battlefield of cold weapons, almost no army can withstand the impact of the armored soldiers. The corpses of the enemy have already established their reputation.

However, with the emergence of steam machinery, especially the steam crossbow, which solved the problem of miniaturization of steam engines, when large-scale equipment began, swords and armor soldiers with insufficient mobility and insufficient combat power began to gradually withdraw from the stage.

Most of the swords and armor soldiers of the French Empire now appear as auxiliary arms in various Annihilator units, defending the Annihilator against close enemies. They don't need to roam too much to defend against the enemy, and their battlefield endurance has also increased in disguise.

Although Leo has never seen such a cold weapon as a sword armor soldier, it is not uncommon for similar troops to have appeared in the old earth era of the Earth Federation.

Leo's eyes stayed on the armored swordsman, and he wanted to find out the loopholes in the armored swordsmen's defense so that they could be killed in a short time when they encountered them in the future.

Compared with the sword armor soldiers, Leo paid more attention to the annihilators who operated the steam crossbow. Although in the past memory, the Annihilator, which is often used by various countries, has long been known, but this is the first time to actually see a real person.
