Chapter 44 Hunter? Prey?

"We still have time," Sean showed a smile on his face, turned to look at Nelson, and said: "Cousin Nelson, do you still want to listen?"
Nelson did not answer, but nodded slightly.
"The adventure story of White Rose is nothing special. The last stop of his journey was in Lanxi. He was invited to watch a slave fight, and he felt that he had found his goal in life." Sean had a look on his face.
Showing disdain, he said: "He tried his best to help those slaves, taught them all kinds of knowledge, and provided them with all kinds of resources. In the end, he was sacrificed as a sacrifice by those who called him the great liberator. It is really ridiculous.
To the extreme!”
In the cave on the mountain wall not far away, Catherine heard these words, and her face couldn't help showing a look of indignation, obviously thinking that Sean was talking nonsense.
Nelson also didn't believe what Sean said, and his face was full of doubts.
Sean also knew that his words were not enough to convince Nelson, so he asked a series of questions, saying: "Do you know how those slaves defeated the heavily armed elite army of the French Empire? And do you know why those slaves had to specialize
Did the royal family of the French Empire be exterminated, but some slave owners who actually directly oppressed them were spared? Then do you know why the French royal family spared no effort to erase all the information about the slave uprising? "
"It's hatred." Nelson also retorted: "Isn't the hatred of almost annihilation not enough to make the French royal family do such a thing?"
"Hate? Do you think hatred is enough?" Sean showed an incredulous expression, as if Nelson had said something shocking, and then said with obvious contempt: "Nelson, you are really
Innocent, even if you are from a branch of the royal family, you don't know that in the eyes of those in the upper class, so-called hatred is the most worthless thing, and they can even become friends with their enemies for the sake of profit."
After saying that, Sean seemed to lose interest in talking to Nelson again. He put the notes in his hand back into his pocket, reached out and patted Nelson on the shoulder, then stood up and walked to the edge of the broken bridge to check the progress of the bridge cable.
Nelson still didn't believe Sean's words, but Catherine's face showed a thoughtful look. Obviously, as a descendant of slaves, she was touched by Sean's words.
As for Leo on the side, although he didn't care much about the past hundreds of years ago, he also asked the assistant brain system to collect the content of the conversation between the two and analyze it, and the result obtained was that what Sean said was at least 100% accurate.
More than eighty is true.
Moreover, the deputy brain system also pointed out two important points, that is, if the divine warriors used by slaves to defeat the French Empire army really exist, then according to the method recorded in the diary mentioned by Catherine, there must be a divine warrior.
The blood of people was sacrificed, which person was who?
Second, the extermination of the French royal family aroused the hostility of all countries in the world of Velen, so that the war between the French royal family and the slave kingdom later received support from all countries. After the kingdom was established with King Yasin who led the slave uprising at that time,
Judging from the ability and wisdom to maintain political stability for more than ten years, King Yasin does not seem to be the kind of person whose emotions control his reason. There must be some unknown secrets in him.
If you connect this matter with the creation of divine warriors, it is not difficult to find the answer. After all, the French royal family is also one of the recognized divine blood royal families.
At this time, Leo detected through the spiritual network that a group of about thirty people, heavily armed priests, had entered the passage two hundred meters away.
Although they took the wrong path and entered a dead passage, they would soon notice it and turn back to the correct passage. Within five minutes at most, the two groups would encounter each other in this square.
"The doctor's position is not good. If the two gangs start a war, he will definitely be affected." Leo noticed that Nelson's current position was exactly at the exit of the passage, and it happened to be in the center of the square. The height of the cornerstone was no higher than his knees.
If there were no other cover around, Nelson would definitely be the most suitable target in the event of a fight.
However, it is impossible for Leo to make a warning now. Judging from the open environment around him, if the sound is slightly louder, it will produce a lot of echoes. Not to mention Nelson, everyone in the square will probably hear it.
After thinking about it for a while, Leo decided to try an advanced method of using the mental network called mental projection. This method has long been eliminated by psykers in the Earth Federation, but it is suitable for use here now.
The psychic technique of this kind of mental network does not require a more advanced mental link. It only needs to project the image to the target in a way similar to brain waves, so that the required image appears in his mind. It is a one-sided transmission type.
Can skill.
The reason why this technique will be eliminated is mainly because the transmitted mental projections are easily intercepted by others, and not everyone likes to passively accept some inexplicable mental projections, so the vast majority of psykers are mastering the mental network skills.
After that, a mental barrier will be built to isolate all unnecessary mental fluctuations from the outside world.
After making the decision, Leo began to construct some images in his mind, such as the image of the battle in the square, the location of Nelson's hiding place, the location of the cave where they are now, etc. After constructing the image, he followed the use of the mental network
Technique, like an antenna that transmits radio waves, transmits the mental brain waves mixed with these images to Nelson.
Nelson soon accepted it, and he was stunned. He didn't know what was going on at first, but suddenly some fragmented images flashed in his mind, making him confused as to what was going on.
When he looked towards the cave where Leo and the others were in the image, he saw the vines hanging there shaking unnaturally. Only then did he understand the meaning of the image, and he also felt sorry for Leo and the others in his heart.
The action of people coming to save him was extremely touching.
Although Nelson didn't understand how Leo managed to have such hallucinatory images appear in his mind, he knew that time was tight and he couldn't allow him to think too much.
So I saw Nielsen standing up very naturally, walking two steps in the square, and then, as if he was attracted by something, he walked to the hiding place Leo chose for him in the illusion and sat down, pretending to be interested.
He studied the totem art patterns on the pillars beside him.
And this pillar is right under the cave where Leo and others are staying, and it is also blocked between Nelson's hiding place and the entrance of the passage. If necessary, it can be used as a bunker to avoid attacks.
Although Nelson was always being watched, what he was doing did not reveal anything unusual, so the monitors ignored him.
At the same time, the priests of the Akhnaya Church on the other side had entered the correct passage, and through the sounds coming from the passage, they confirmed that this was the target they were tracking. However, their speed slowed down and their steps changed.
Be lighter and make your approach soundless.
When these priests came to the last turn of the passage, they could already see the square, and because the ambush position of Sean's people was not in the front of the passage, Nelson, who was previously in the front, moved his position, so the priests in the passage
We couldn't see anyone in the square, and could only hear the faint voices coming from the broken bridge.
The priests did not rush out of the passage rashly, but retreated very cautiously for a certain distance, and then gathered together to discuss the attack strategy.
The discussion lasted only a short time, and the results were reached in less than a minute. Five of the priests came out, took off their masks and all their clothes, and stood in front of everyone.
At this time, Leo, who was monitoring the situation here with a mental network, showed a surprised expression on his face, because he saw that the priests who had stripped naked had very obvious genetic abnormalities.
I saw that all the hair on the bodies of these five priests had fallen off, and the skin on their bodies had become very thin and transparent. You could even clearly see the blood vessels under the skin, and they looked completely inhuman.
What's even more surprising is that these priests picked up the blade-shaped weapon warehouse and hid it in their hands, and then pressed their bodies against the stone wall of the passage. It didn't take long to see that their body skin began to change color and texture, becoming
They are exactly the same as the surrounding rocks, just like chameleons. If you just look at them with the naked eye, it would be difficult to distinguish these people.
Leo, who had detected this scene through the spiritual network, couldn't help but think of the monster he had solved not long ago. Although the two methods of invisibility were different, it was undeniable that the effects displayed by the two were very similar, which also made
Leo once again suspected that the Aknaya Church might actually have mastered relatively mature heterogeneous gene fusion technology.
These priests who had disguised themselves as rock walls began to move against the wall, along the passage, and into the square. Soon they came to the exit, and saw several tall and strong men holding a mechanical repeating crossbow.
Aimed at the passage exit.
At this moment, the five priests who acted as pioneers were very glad that they and others did not rush into the square just now, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Among the five people, one returned to the passage, apparently to inform his colleagues behind him of the situation in the square, while the other four carefully moved not far from the ambush Yingge people and made preparations.
Once you take action, immediately deal with the enemies in front of you.
In the passage, the other priests also took off their clothes, and their skins were the same as those of the five priests before. However, some of these priests did not need to lean against the rock wall, just like that
Standing in place, the skin on the body will also appear like a transparent light and shadow illusion.
"Is it really a mature technology?" Seeing so many genetically modified mutants appearing at the same time, Leo was already certain that the Aknaya Church should have extracted this transparent ability from those monsters and successfully used it
to other people.
This also made Leo feel incredible, because the Earth Federation spent countless resources and used alien genetic technology with no successful cases for hundreds of years, but in such a backward steam world, it was completed by a church with no scientific and technological capabilities.
This is simply the biggest mockery of the mainstream technological evolution of the Earth Federation.
At this moment, from the perspective of the situation, on one side are prepared people who can pretend to be invisible, and on the other side are the guards who are standing ready but cannot see the enemy around them. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that the situation presents a one-sided advantage.
However, Leo still found some clues. When Sean, who was discussing how to build a bridge, was talking, his glasses would inadvertently look at the positions of the invisible priests. There were ten other people wearing the same glasses who did the same thing as him.
The British men with glasses, and these British men quietly put down their work, picked up their weapons, and stood seemingly casually in several positions that could be used as bunkers.
"There's something wrong with the glasses." Leo smiled knowingly, and soon realized that Sean was also prepared, and he was looking forward to the next battle even more.
Just as the priests entered the square one after another and reached the attack positions they had agreed upon, the priests who could become invisible also walked directly across the square and walked to Sean, ready to attack.
However, just when the priests were about to launch an attack, Sean suddenly shouted "do it", and then he saw Sean take out an expensive special repeating gun from his clothes and shoot it at the person next to him.
Several priests who still didn't understand what was going on fired a round, destroying a magazine containing at least thirty rounds of special bullets at once.
Others wearing glasses and knowing the location of the invisible priest also took action at the same time, aiming their mechanical repeating crossbows at their respective targets and shooting deadly arrows.
When the ambushers who served as bait heard the cry, they quickly rolled around on the ground and escaped from the situation of being attacked in a well-trained manner.
And after stabilizing their bodies, they also fired arrows at the surrounding walls with their repeating crossbows. Even if they couldn't see the enemy, it didn't matter. Judging from the dense arrangement of the priests, there were always a few arrows.
Got blood on it.
Catherine on the cave saw the scene of Sean's people launching an attack. She didn't understand what happened for a while. It wasn't until the dead priest fell to the ground and the invisibility effect on his body disappeared that she learned about the situation and exposed himself.
With a look of horror, he covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
"Professional soldier." Jason was also shocked when he saw this scene and whispered.
Regarding Jason's judgment, Leo nodded in agreement. The coordination was so seamless and the attacks were cruel and deadly. It was completely like a team of battle-hardened soldiers. What's more, he was even more surprised by the analysis of the deputy brain system.
The origin of soldiers.
Although the mechanical repeating crossbows in the hands of these professional soldiers are produced by the same manufacturer as the military repeating crossbows currently in Nelson's hands, the workmanship and design are far superior to those of military repeating crossbows. They should be specially customized for people.
