When Duke Ma Wen walked off the maglev, he was shocked by the terrible scene he saw in front of him.

The entire city has turned into ruins and is burning everywhere. Many places that were supposed to be houses are now only a huge shallow pit. There are still flames burning everywhere, and all kinds of debris and debris are sprinkled everywhere. How many? The bottom of the warning tower was hit or caused by an explosion, and the entire tower body has been crooked and even completely collapsed. Under countless gravel steel bars, broken human limbs and dark creatures that were crushed to death are occasionally protruded from time to time.

The city wall on the west side was exploded from the middle. Yes, it was indeed the effect of a violent explosion. The fracture was more than ten meters long. From the ground, the fracture of the city wall was covered with thick corpses of dark creatures, including a spider demon whose entire head was blown to pieces. Duke Ma Wen had a clear understanding of the weapon, and he saw that it was the damage caused by the 105mm direct aiming cannon. The shell hit the spider demon directly, but it failed to change the fate of the fall of the entire city of Oviado.

Since there are shells, there should be artillery.

In this order of thinking, Duke Marvin began to walk towards the inside of the city along the imaginary trajectory of the shells.

At the intersection of the street leading to the city wall, the duke saw a straight-sighting cannon that had been rolled over from the fortification of the Sand Fortification to the outside. Its gun barrel was torn apart by a dark creature of great power. There were more than a dozen dead bodies of dark warriors lying around. The sand bar was covered with blood, flesh and limbs everywhere. At a later point, there was a particularly obvious explosion mark with a wide range. It should be the place where the shells were piled up. At the critical moment, a brave guard detonated all the shells and killed all the dark creatures surrounding them.

He showed great courage. To such a person, a medal of courage should be awarded.

The further he walked, the more shocking scenes the Duke saw.

A man was firmly nailed to the door by a long sword. The man held the head of a dark warrior in his arms, holding a dagger in his right hand, passing through the dark warrior's side neck, closely connecting with his body. This way of death of death made everyone who saw it feel sighed. If it weren't for the most desperate moment, no one would have done so.

A dark knight bit an arm that was unaware of being pulled from a human, but was shot through his chest by a large gun shot from behind. The body lay across the street, and its internal organs flowed all over the ground. Although it was winter, many small insects still crawled out of their nests and climbed back and forth on the already cold and hard surface of flesh and blood. There are not many opportunities to eat fresh flesh and blood, so they must not be spared.

The Duke has always been with two graceful young women. They are both wearing tight black leather jumpsuits, high chests and round buttocks, giving every male viewer plenty of room for imagination. They are Duke Marvin's personal bodyguards, with beautiful faces as cold as ice, and the large-caliber pistols slanted on the back of the waist also show that they must pay an extremely heavy price to get close to them.

It has been four days since the dark creatures captured the city.

When he heard the news of Oviado's destruction, Ma Wen could feel that this was a rumor created by the enemy, and then he regained his rationality and forced himself to face reality.

He didn't understand why Oviado was attacked by the Dark World? There were no special properties there, and his defense was very strong (the Duke believed that). Moreover, the gray zone was a strategic buffer zone between the human empire and the dark world. In this place, there had been a long time since large-scale armed conflicts broke out.

There is no outbreak, which does not mean that such a thing is absolutely impossible. But, why is Oviado? Why is this city I built?

The smell of blood enveloped the whole city. Duke Ma Wen's face turned pale. He felt very uncomfortable when he walked into the city. It was not until he walked into this place and saw so many dead bodies that the duke suddenly realized that this feeling came from his feet, because the ground was always wet and the soles of his shoes were stained with too much mud. This was not the mud caused by rain, but the large amount of blood penetrated the soil, making everything under his feet soft. Every time he landed and lifted, he would leave clear shoe prints and a little dark red liquid oozed out.

The 441st Division of the National Defense Forces Infantry Division has taken over Oviado's overall defense work. Brigadier General Badam did not delay. As soon as he received the distress signal, two light infantry battalions rushed towards Oviado. The reinforcements encountered the blocking force arranged by Earl Watson on the road. It was a large group of corpses with a population of up to 30,000. They were controlled by the unique hierarchical forces of the dark world and gathered on the road to Oviado. These corpses themselves have no combat power, and well-trained corpses can (easy to kill them all. However, obstructing action is not just as simple as killing the other side. The corpses launched an attack without fear of death. Their numbers are so large and so dense that they are covered with a thick layer on the road, completely cutting off traffic.

Brigadier General Badam had no choice but to do anything about this. There was only this only way from the 441st Division to Oviado. Both sides were either mountains or gullies that could not be passed through. Of course, there was no problem with infantry moving forward with light clothes, but under the premise of unknown conditions, Brigadier General Badam did not dare to divide his troops easily.

Who can guarantee that there will be no second ambush before?

Who can guarantee that Dark Creatures will not set traps against reinforcements?

This may not be targeted at Oviado from the beginning, but wanted to lure the 441 division out of the fortress and annihilate it in the wild. Tactical skills are not the patent of human beings, and dark creatures are also familiar with this.

Relying on the help of heavy construction machinery, Brigadier General Badam spent a whole time and finally cleared a passage from the countless corpses. The reinforcements had just walked less than fifty kilometers and were attacked by the second corpse man of the same size.

The purpose of dark creatures is obvious. They are to use this low-level and mean approach to slow down the speed of reinforcements, thereby gaining enough time for themselves.

The corpse man blocked the road for the third time. This has almost consumed all the corpse man operating in the neighboring areas around. Even with the powerful reproductive power of the dark world, it is still a big number.

It was already the afternoon of the fourth day when Brigadier General Badam arrived in Oviado.

The wrath of the Dark Earl Watson was fully released during this period.

With less than three thousand mercenaries, it is impossible to block as many as tens of thousands of dark creatures. Although Watson is just an earl, in the words of the dark nobles, a guy like Watson who has no background or family is a natural beast and belongs to the "wild nobles". But no one can deny the powerful combat power of Watson's troops. Once the city wall defense is broken, Oviado will no longer have any force to block them.

Watson was always worried about Konoha Town in the south and sent troops with sufficient weight to pay attention to that direction at any time. Once any movement is discovered, the dark creatures besieging Oviado will immediately stop the operation and then all the members will return to the dark world.

The threat from the elite army is far greater than that of the Imperial National Defense Forces. Even if this is the difference between a combat team and a fully equipped infantry division. What's more, the number of personnel in Su Hao's troops is only about 200, and it is impossible to fully complete the work.

There has been no troops sent to Konoha Town. In Watson's opinion, this is definitely a huge surprise.

The Count of Darkness believed that this was the effect of the previous dark sacrificial ritual. The Dark God, who did not know which space exist, was obviously favoring him. Watson performed the tricks he had used in the Lartason settlement in Oviado again. Now, what appeared in front of Duke Marvin was the bloody scene that Su Hao had seen before.

It was an open space that should have been used as a reserve building. Now there are dense wooden poles erected. They are covered with heads cut from living people and the remains of corpses cut into pieces. These terrifying wooden poles are staggered, like a large area of ​​bloody grape fields. In winter, four days are not enough to cause the corpses to rot, but these wrecks have already emitted a stinky smell, which is disgusting.

Two young girls with supermodel figures and appearance followed closely behind the Duke. They wore sunglasses, their cold expressions and swaying steps together formed a strange charm. To some extent, this could barely dilute the strong psychological impact of large-scale corpses on the viewer. However, this relief method had no effect on Duke Marvin. The two female bodyguards were his subordinates, and he never expected that Oviado would suffer such a terrible fate.

"You, you have to be responsible for this! Take full responsibility!"

Brigadier General Badam has always accompanied the Duke. As a few heavyweights qualified to accompany him, Duke Marvin vented almost all his anger on him.

"It was your poor reinforcement that led to Oviado being destroyed by dark creatures."

"It was you and your men who were afraid of death that led to the slaughter of Oviado's people."

"It is your stupidity and selfishness that led to Oviado becoming what he is now. You, all of you, must pay the heaviest price for this!"

Duke Marvin did not yell, and doing so was not in line with his noble status as a duke. At any time, the nobles must maintain a calm and calm temperament and demeanor. Marvin has always done a good job in this regard. Although his facial skin looked red due to rage, he still maintained a slow French speed. Even when threatening and reprimanding, his attitude and voice were calm.

Brigadier Badam seemed cold and calm to these rebukes, as if he had heard nothing.

Those who can become generals should encounter more things in all aspects than those of nobles who enjoy a peaceful life in the empire. Badam's life experience is somewhat similar to that of Watson, the Count of Darkness, and is also an ordinary person with no family background. From soldiers to generals, Badam has encountered countless crises and opportunities. He has long known how to choose and how to fight for himself from seemingly dangerous situations.

Duke Marvin's anger was as expected by Brigadier General Badam. Although there has not been any trace of Oviado's city lord Earl Thomas, it is obvious that Oviado and the Duke Marvin who suddenly appeared must have a close relationship. This feeling made Brigadier Badam very surprised. He didn't know that such a big man would come to Oviado and could not even make any preparations for greeting. How to say it? Just like one day when you were walking on the street, a child suddenly ran over, hugged your thighs and called you "dad", and then a woman came over to grab your arm and called you "husband". A lot of people quickly gathered around you, pointing at you, and the woman cried and said that you had never given a child support since the baby was born, and now you have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to comfort the fragile hearts of their mother and son... What kind of reaction would you make at that time?

Yes, shocked, this is the first feeling of Brigadier General Badam when he saw Duke Marvin's luxury car.

Just being surprised is far from enough. This old nobleman who had no idea of ​​that corner was threatening me, saying that I was responsible for what hell happened?

You damn it, did you take the wrong medicine?

"Do you think you're not wrong?"

Duke Marvin obviously saw through Brigadier General Badam's thoughts. He narrowed his eyes, and his cold and hatred eyes came from the middle of the two thin slits, like an extremely sharp steel cone. But you can never notice the real content represented by this terrible gaze, and you will only feel that the old man's expression is serious and has an inviolable special temperament.

"Oviado is an experimental project approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Empire. The borders of the Empire have always been sparsely populated. Due to geographical and climate factors, the number of immigrants in the north has never been less than in the south. Oviado is a pilot project. As a military security official in this area, you must have heard of all kinds of rumors about Oviado. The welfare of residents here is completely based on the standards of the empire's domestic domain. They enjoy medical and educational convenience, and the tax reduction is much better than that of other immigrant cities. The building structure here is special, with heating pipes and air purifiers. Of course, all of these are normal for outsiders, especially residents of the empire's domestic domain. General, you have been stationed here for not short. In 17 years, or at least five years, have you seen any immigrant city like Oviado who is willing to put out a lot of money to invest in these most basic livelihood projects?"

Duke Marvin looked kind, but in fact he had no respect for Brigadier General Badam. Especially when he said the number "Seventeen Years", Badam felt that his heart suddenly tightened for no reason.

Seventeen and five are two seemingly irrelevant numbers. However, they have special meanings when it comes to Badam.

Five years refers to the normal promotion period for a national defense officer. From warrant officer to lieutenant, then from lieutenant to lieutenant, and so on, the colonel class is the limit of normal promotion. If you want to become a general in the previous step, you either have enough military achievements or have connections that ordinary people cannot imagine. Of course, there is a third method, which is to cruelly take out a lot of money and run back and forth between the big figures who are enough to control your future destiny, begging them to give you a chance to take a high position. This is actually very risky, which is equivalent to a disguised gambling. If you cannot see through people's hearts, you will naturally not know whether the bettor is the person who can decide your own destiny. Some people lose everything for this, and some people send their wives to someone else's bed for this. As for how much they can get in the end, it is not enough to be known to outsiders.

Both numbers are Badam's secrets. The reason why he was able to become a brigade general from the colonel was entirely because at that time, Badam gave his boss 20,000 imperial gold coins. That was his entire property at that time. Badam had always believed that he could not bear to leave his children and could not trap the wolf. He also reserved a hand for this and secretly recorded the entire process of giving money, preparing to take it out as a shield to reduce his guilt when something went wrong.

Few people are as scheming as Badam. He is lucky, the video was not discovered, and he has been a division commander for seventeen years in the position of Brigadier General. Everyone wants to make progress, and Badam is no exception. He once fantasized about becoming a deputy commander, a commander, and the badges on his shoulders also increased and became major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals... Unfortunately, the people above seemed to have completely forgotten him. No matter how they communicated, they never changed the promotion and promotion they responded to.

Badam is not the kind of person who can be scared by just a few words. Although both numbers are secrets buried in his heart for a long time, they can be found through many aspects, such as the resume of a military man. Of course, the superficial data will never show the real content behind it.

This must be a coincidence! It must be!

Although I always felt very uncomfortable, Brigadier General Badam did not show it on the surface. As time goes by, his handle has been cleaned up very clean. The guy who sent money to take care of his promotion was already dead a few years ago. The so-called death without evidence is almost like this. Apart from the thing he recorded, no one knows the secret.

"Your teacher's position is not right or wrong."

Duke Marvin looked at Badamum lightly: "I am not interested in exploring your past, but I am not an Alzheimer's patient who can fool you. In this world, there is never any real secret. As long as it happens, it means there is a chance for others to know. Haha! We are not fools, so you must not regard others as fools. Otherwise, in the end, you will find that you are the real fools."
