401: Changes in the military camp

Chapter 400: Changes in the Military Camp

At the same time, in the Central Region of the Demon Spirit Continent, on the border of the Suweier Empire, a fierce battlefield.

Ryan, clad in heavy armor, wielding a thousand-pound greatsword, and riding the latest model of the magic tactical tank, led thousands of Superville soldiers in a charge.

Swish swish swish—

Streaks of cold light flashed. Standing at the front of the vehicle, Ryan swung his greatsword, and large amounts of deep purple magic sword energy surged like a mountain flood and sea tide, easily destroying the enemy's defense line.

"Heavy Magic Cannons, third volley!"

Following Ryan's angry roar, continuous cannon fire suddenly erupted. Countless fireballs descended from the sky in perfect parabolas.

Each magic cannonball was worth a fortune, and only the financially strong Suweier Empire could afford to bombard the ground with such firepower.

"The enemy's front line has already collapsed. Soldiers of the Second Legion, follow me to break through the ranks and kill the enemy!"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, deafening war cries followed, and thousands of well-equipped Superville soldiers charged forward bravely and fearlessly.

An hour later, the battle ended. The Second Legion led by Ryan had already occupied this position.

As Isurna's oldest younger brother, Ryan received much attention. In recent years, he had also repeatedly achieved military merits, becoming the youngest Commander in Superville's history.

It was just that Isurna's radiance was too dazzling, and Ryan's most famous title was always 'Isurna's younger brother'.

Inside the military tent, Ryan stood with his hands behind his back, carefully examining the holographic terrain map in front of him.

"Commander, the rebel leader has been captured in the bunker..."

Listening to the report from his subordinate soldier, Ryan nodded lightly and said casually, "Bring him over."

Soon, a burly man with a face full of stubble was brought forward. His hands and feet were bound by chains, the magic from his heart's origin had been crippled, and he had been beaten half to death.

"You are the rebel leader, General Maike Ase?"

"Hehe, that would be me," General Maike Ase said obsequiously, his face full of flattery, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency is handsome and extraordinary, you must be Superville's most dazzling new star, Commander Ruien!"

"Hmph, there's no need for flattery. I just want to know where the remaining rebels are hiding. As long as you honestly confess, you can obtain political asylum."

Deeply influenced by Isurna's education, Ryan had always been a pragmatic person. He didn't like speaking in officialese, wouldn't play along with appearances, and acted straightforwardly.

In a sense, Ryan was a born soldier. Compared to the political maneuvering of civil officials, facing swords and blades on the battlefield was clearly more suitable for him.

Hearing this, the expression of the man named General Maike Ase froze. A look of struggle appeared on his weathered face.

No matter where, betrayal was a definite crime, hated by people of all classes.

Ryan didn't rush him, nor did he resort to torture, forced confessions, or threats and inducements. Anyway, he planned to conduct a carpet search later and would find the remaining rebels sooner or later.

But after less than a minute, General Maike Ase finished struggling. He simply hung his head and resignedly said, "I'll confess everything. As long as I can get political asylum, I can even tell you about the latest R18..."

Before General Maike Ase could finish speaking, Ryan cast a spell, sealing his mouth. He then looked around and said in a deep voice, "Get out. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in!"

Several months ago, a Superville scholar, in order to resist Luca III's invasion, used forbidden techniques, overexerted his mental power, and developed a super weapon – the R18 Magic Mech!

This was an absolute secret, known only to a few high-ranking Superville officials, and it was also Ryan's true mission objective.

After only the two of them remained in the room, Ryan activated several soundproof barriers. Only then did he slowly say, "I remember you are just a newly promoted general, you shouldn't have access to such secrets..."

"Commander Ruien, you can't say that," General Maike Ase quickly said, "You've only been in the army for a few years, and haven't you also become a Commander?"

"Hmph, how can a coward like you be compared to me!"

Ryan glared at General Maike Ase, very unhappy with his statement. He had been promoted step by step based on military achievements, completely different from those who used connections to get ahead.

"You, you are right, I had a problem with my brain and said the wrong thing," General Maike Ase said with a face full of panic, his body trembling, "You are Superville's future God of War, a role model for all soldiers, you are..."

"Enough!" Ryan was too lazy to listen to the boring flattery anymore. He directly waved his hand and interrupted, "Immediately tell me everything you know about the R18 Magic Mech!"

General Maike Ase nodded heavily, then nervously looked around and whispered, "Then please come closer, be careful of eavesdroppers!"

"Eavesdroppers, my foot. This place is airtight, and several military barriers have been set up. Not even a hint of sound would get out, even if an explosion occurred..."

Although he said that, Ryan still subconsciously squatted down and leaned his ear closer.

Searching for information about the R18 Magic Mech was the first S-rank mission he received, and it was personally issued by Luca III, which was of great significance to Ryan.

This was originally a long-term mission that required some luck, but he never expected to find it in the very first battle. It was simply a Heavenly Blessing!

Whoosh—

A gust of cold wind blew past. Ryan frowned; the military tent was tightly sealed, how could there be wind?

But before Ryan could get up to check the situation, his head rolled to the ground. A large amount of blood gushed from his neck, splashing onto a silver-haired girl.

"Hahaha, is this Superville's most dazzling star of tomorrow? Nothing more than this, nothing more than this!"

The girl's face was filled with madness. Bathed in thick blood, she danced gracefully. The short dagger in her hand gleamed with a cold light, spinning freely.

At the girl's feet, there was a flattened mass of human skin. From its twisted appearance, one could barely tell that this was General Maike Ase's skin.

Although she had killed someone, and in a heavily guarded military camp at that, the girl was not in a hurry to escape. Instead, she squatted down and wrote characters crookedly on the ground using Ryan's blood.

"Done by the Divine Machine Witch, Xing Lili Anzier!"

Looking at the characters on the ground that looked like earthworms crawling around, Apricot Lilli tilted her head and frowned, muttering, "emmm... I feel like something is still missing... Oh, right, provocative words!"

Soon, Apricot Lilli squatted down again, dipped her finger in blood, and wrote several sentences.

"The prodigies on the neighboring Atlanta Continent have already been slaughtered by me. Next, it's the Demon Spirit Continent's turn!"

"Ryan Fury is just the beginning. Next, this Witch will kill even more!"

"So-called prodigies, so-called great destiny holders, they are all stepping stones for me to reach the peak!"

"Hahaha!! (Hands on hips, laughing uncontrollably)"

After writing these four sentences, Apricot Lilli took out a document from the inner pocket of her robe and casually threw it onto Ryan's headless corpse.

"Here, this is the R18 Magic Mech blueprint you were thinking about. I really don't know how such a low-end item could be called top-tier technology..."

Saying that, the space around Apricot Lilli began to distort. After a few seconds, her figure disappeared on the spot, along with pheromones such as temperature, scent, and magic traces.

It was as if, from the very beginning, only Ryan had been inside the military tent.

Half a day later, a thick layer of black clouds gathered above the military camp. Thunder rumbled continuously, and soon a heavy downpour began.

As soon as Isurna got out of the vehicle, she rushed frantically towards the depths of the military camp.

At the few checkpoints she passed along the way, not a single soldier stopped her, because they had received orders to let her pass early on.

Soon, in a temporarily constructed morgue, Isurna saw the cold corpse of her younger brother.

Although Ryan's head had been reattached by the medical examiner, a shocking bloodstain remained on his neck.

This was a very clean and neat decapitation strike.

Looking at Ryan's corpse, Isurna didn't break down and cry, nor did she roar in madness. Instead, she said coldly and expressionlessly, "Who was it?"

Hearing this, a soldier nearby quickly handed over a photo. On it were several lines of deep red blood characters, which were exactly what Apricot Lilli had written next to Ryan's corpse earlier.

"Divine Machine Witch..."

Isurna clenched the photo tightly. Although her voice was calm, it contained infinite killing intent, and the lightning element magic power within her surged.

In the blink of an eye, Isurna's figure disappeared. The next second, she appeared high above the military camp, drew her sword, and unleashed a strike.

Bright purple lightning flashed. The thick black clouds were actually split in two. If Dick were here, he would definitely cry out in surprise.

Because this was the Purple Lightning One Sword, an ultimate technique that Isurna had comprehended only after her 'blackening'!
