Nelson didn't know how long he slept. Perhaps it was because he was too nervous before. After he relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't until someone pushed his shoulder hard that he woke up.
He had just woken up and was still a little confused. He wanted to blame the person who pushed him hard and disturbed his rest, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he saw the situation around him clearly and realized that he was still on the battlefield.
Nelson looked at the dark sky around him, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He found that it was already four o'clock in the morning the next day. According to the time, it would be almost dawn in about two hours.
At this time, he saw that Jason, who had been sleeping before, had woken up and was getting ready to go, but Leo was nowhere to be seen, which made him feel inexplicably panicked.
"Where's Leo?" Nelson didn't bother to pick up his luggage and hurriedly asked Jason in a low voice. He was worried that Leo would leave him behind and run away.
Jason did not answer Nelson directly, but pointed to the box on the side to indicate for him to stand on it, and then pointed to the fire set up by the soldiers of the French Empire.
Following the direction of Jason's finger, Nelson didn't see anything. He was about to ask, but suddenly something seemed to be moving in the direction of his sight. However, when he looked carefully, he couldn't see anything.
Any exception occurs.
With doubts in his heart, Nelson adjusted the glasses on his mask to make the distant scene clearer.
At this moment, he finally saw something abnormal. At the edge of the light emitted by a fire, a shadow that almost blended into the surrounding darkness moved quickly against the ground like a gecko, and passed by a fire.
While making the pile, I threw some things into the fire.
However, facing such a big living person moving quickly in front of their eyes, the swordsmen and armor soldiers patrolling back and forth on the other side of the fire turned a blind eye to him as if they were blind, allowing Leo to do what he did in front of them.
hands and feet.
"How did he do it?" Seeing such an astonishing scene, Nelson couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
Jason on the side seemed to be able to hear Nelson's heart, and said in a very soft voice: "I also want to know how this kid did it?"
Compared to Nelson and Jason standing in the trenches, who could easily sigh, Leo obviously didn't have the slightest energy to take care of other enemies at the moment. He used most of his deputy brain's ability to calculate the position of the deepest shadow of the fire and the location of the fire.
The sight blind spots of the patrolling swordsmen.
Since last night, he had been waiting for the moment the wind direction changed. It was not until the early morning that the surrounding wind direction began to change and blew towards the soldiers of the French Empire.
Seeing the opportunity, he immediately woke up Jason, then took out the bandages soaked in poison that he had prepared long ago, cut them into small pieces equal to the number of fires, and then pressed his whole body against the ground and got in
When we arrived at the blind spot of the fire, we threw the poison cloth strips into one fire after another.
This was Leo's only chance to create a breakthrough, because he found that with the appearance of dew in the early morning, the smoke over the battlefield had completely settled. Once it gets light, the French Empire's army will enter the battlefield to complete the final elimination of people.
, he may still have a chance to break out based on his personal ability, but Nelson and Jason may not be able to guarantee it.
If he was still a biological weapon in the past, Leo might not feel any guilt or uneasiness for not saving Nelson and Jason, but now, he has integrated into his current body, and even merged with the soul of the former Leo.
After obtaining the other person's memory, his state of mind was inevitably affected, giving him more emotions that he didn't have in the past.
Although these emotions may become a burden to Leo, he is not disgusted with them. On the contrary, he is happy to accept these extra human emotions.
Because he found that when he had these emotions, the world in his eyes seemed to change from a single gray color to a rich and colorful one. As a half-man, half-machine, he had never experienced this feeling but had always dreamed of it.
With such complicated emotions, Leo quickly threw all the poison cloth strips into the fire, and instead of hiding in the trench, he lay quietly on the ground and waited for the poison to take effect.
Maybe they think the overall situation is settled, or maybe it's because those hours in the early morning are when people's alertness is lowest. In short, the patrolling swordsmen and the annihilators behind the temporary bunkers did not notice Leo's movements, so they were worried about what was about to happen.
Nothing happened.
About five minutes passed. The swordsman patrolling near the fire where the poison was first poured seemed to feel uncomfortable. He staggered a few steps and sat on the ground. Immediately afterwards, the Annihilators in the nearby bunker also fell down.
, without making any sound, and then a row of more than a dozen sword-armored soldiers and Annihilators near the fire fell one after another.
At this time, Leo immediately stood up from the ground, crouched down, waved his hand towards the trench where Jason and the others were, then quickly ran through the fire, ran to the bunker where the Annihilator was, and poisoned one of them.
He took off the steam repeater launcher from the fallen Annihilator and held it in his hand.
"Target projection, target lock!"
Leo, who gave the order to the deputy brain system, followed the steam repeating crossbow operation method he had observed before, opened the steam engine valve on the ground, adjusted it to the highest state, lifted the launcher, and aimed the launch port at the other objects locked by the deputy brain that were not exposed to the poisonous gas.
Affected the position of Annihilator and Sword Armor, pull the trigger.
Only a slight whooshing sound was heard coming from the launch port, and accompanied by waves of slight vibrations, it was transmitted to Leo's hand. Dozens of arrows were launched like this, and then a tragic sound was heard in the distance.
cry.
Leo didn't stop to check the results, or he was confident that he didn't need to check the results, so he turned the launch port and aimed it at the other side. Before the people on the other side noticed something was wrong, he fired with the steam crossbow in his hand.
The recoil of the steam repeater was much lighter than Leo expected, and the accuracy was naturally improved accordingly. With the help of his assistant brain, the positions of all targets were projected onto his eyeballs in the form of phantom positioning. As long as
The target will not move faster than expected, and none of these targets can escape his sniper attack.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Regardless of the poisoned swordsmen and annihilators, as many as fifty people died from the arrows in the two rounds of strafing just now. They were all targeted by Leo's sight. And in this way
The big movement naturally alarmed the troops further away, and even caused a commotion because of the large-scale death of people in a short period of time.
Orders came from a distance. Although Leo didn't understand French, he could tell from the movements of the French army in the distance that they did not approach here rashly as he expected, but instead
Choose a steady and steady approach, advance slowly, and send people to detour to the other side to expand the encirclement.
Under the cover of Leo's sniper fire, Jason and Nelson escaped from the trench to another bunker without any danger.
Seeing this, Leo immediately put down the steam repeater in his hand and ran towards where the two of them were. When he ran there, he happened to see Jason and Nelson seeming to want to take some weapons from the two Destroyers.
He fired his steam repeating crossbow and dealt with the French troops as he did before.
"You two idiots, if you haven't put your things down yet, run away!" Seeing this, Leo immediately cursed at the two of them, then turned a corner and ran away from the battlefield quickly.
Seeing Leo like this, the simple-minded Jason reacted immediately, obeyed Leo's instructions, put down the steam repeater he had just picked up, and chased Leo. Nelson was a little slower and followed closely.
.
Not long after the three of them ran out, the steam repeating crossbow that Leo used previously opened the gas valve to the maximum and did not continue to use the repeating crossbow. As a result, a large amount of steam generated quickly accumulated in a small space, causing an explosion.
A lot of fog formed.
At the same time, this strong explosion also caused damage to other similar steam devices around it. The steam in the machine spurted out from the breach and quickly gathered in the air, forming a thick mist.
"Damn it! If I had known that this thing would explode so easily, I should have opened all the air valves to the maximum." Looking back and seeing the movement behind him, Leo immediately felt regretful that he had made a mistake because he did not understand the situation.
But fortunately, this wave of explosions did not have any impact on their escape. Instead, the huge noise caused attracted the attention of the French army, wasting the best opportunity to pursue the three of them.
Under the cover of darkness, the three of them quickly ran into the forest close to the battlefield.
Although it was relatively safe after entering the forest, Leo did not stop, but continued to move away from the battlefield with Nelson and Jason. Because Leo would choose some relatively easy roads,
Therefore, the three of them traveled quite quickly. They climbed over a mountain in more than an hour and arrived at the river on the other side of the mountain.
"Can...can you, rest...take a rest, I, I, can't hold on anymore?" Nelson, who had long taken off his mask and unbuttoned his clothes, sat down on a stone by the river, panting.
, said sweating profusely.
After all, Nelson was just a temporarily transferred military doctor, not a real soldier. He had not received formal marching training. It was already very good to be able to walk on a mountainous road for more than an hour continuously.
In fact, Nelson already wanted to rest when he was on the other side of the mountain, but when he thought that there might be pursuers behind him, and if he stayed for a while longer, it would be more dangerous, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
But now, he is very sure that he has reached his limit. When he was approaching the river just now, he even needed Leo and Jason to squeeze him on his left and right before he could take a step forward.
"Rest in place for five minutes." Leo also knew that Nelson really couldn't walk, so he nodded and agreed to Nelson's request, and then ordered: "Take away the doctor's isolation suit, military uniform, and everything related to the Kingdom of England."
Take off all your clothes."
After saying that, Leo quickly unbuttoned his isolation suit, took off his mask, and then took off his eye-catching bright red Army uniform of the Kingdom of England, along with his military trousers and military boots with the octopus mark.
.
Although Jason and Jason didn't quite understand why Leo did this, they already regarded Leo as their leader, so they naturally followed Leo's instructions and took off all the items with the mark of the Kingdom of England on them.
Leo checked these items again and found nothing worth keeping. Then he wrapped them in some stones one by one and threw them into the river in front of him. They quickly sank into the turbid river water. It was impossible to do so in a short time.
Come up again.
In the slightly puzzled eyes of the two people, Leo gave a simple explanation and said: "The French Empire will definitely issue a reward in the surrounding towns to capture any soldiers from the Kingdom of England. If we continue to wear such clothes, we will only get burned.
.”
Then, Leo took out the map and compass he found from the officer yesterday, spread them out on the ground, and asked Nelson: "Doctor, do you know where we are probably now?"
"Our battlefield is in the Bulletyi area. According to the direction of our escape, we should be in the Bullemale Forest now," Nelson drew the approximate location on the map with his hand, and pointed at the place in front of him.
Small river, said: "This small river should be a tributary of the Pangbo River. Going downstream along this small river, you should be able to reach the Pangbo River. If the Kingdom of England had not completely retreated, the Vinaya Port near the outlet of the Pangbo River should still be there.
It's in our hands and we can go there."
Regarding Nelson's proposal, Leo did not immediately make a statement. He looked at the map carefully. After a while, he turned to Jason and asked: "Jason, what's your opinion?"
"Me?" Jason was a little surprised that Leo would ask his opinion. He scratched his head in confusion and said, "Leo and I, you go, I will go wherever you go, but I don't want to be a soldier anymore, because
If we become soldiers again, we will be left to die on the battlefield, and we may not be as lucky as we were to escape next time."
Although Jason's words were straightforward, they still made sense. Leo had no choice but to slightly nod his head in agreement with this statement.
Leo asked Nelson again: "If we go to Vinaya Port and the war is not over, will we be incorporated into other armies and sent to the battlefield?"
Nelson opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while. Based on his understanding of the noble officers of the Kingdom of England, their attitude towards civilian soldiers was that as long as they were alive, they would always be thrown into the battlefield.
He may be able to avoid entering the battlefield again by virtue of his status as a doctor, but it may be difficult for Leo and Jason to escape the fate of entering the battlefield again.
Thinking of this, he closed his open mouth again and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"
