Chapter 68 Red Knight Side Quest

Inside the private bunker.

Two hours later, Jiang He completed the production of 40 vitality potions. The bullets and potions on hand were for his own use. In addition, he had more than 160 black gems and 12 yellow paper talismans exchanged from Cangshan Fuxue, including two tower talismans, two thunder talismans, two soul talismans, and six water talismans.

The alchemical work is completed.

Jiang He activated Garuda Mode Three: Comprehensive Strengthening, generating a set of green and red armor on his body surface, and then extended his blood wings to wrap around his body, posing as a fully armed posture.

A black gem was placed on the table. Jiang He carefully picked up the Changhen Spear, ready to crush it bit by bit.

Wuhe quacked in fear, flapped his wings and flew to the wooden beam, saying in surprise: "I don't recommend doing such dangerous things in a closed environment. This thing won't explode, will it?"

Jiang He was not sure either. "I can't say for sure. The chaos bomb is under my control, but it is a bomb after all."

When Wuhe saw that he had put on two layers of defense, he immediately moved further away. If one only looked at the power and range, the Chaos Bomb was not actually outstanding, but the additional damage to flesh and spirit directly raised it to the position of powerful gunpowder, especially when used in multiples, the 10 points of true damage caused by each one, it did not seem like a rare consumable at all.

The Changhen Spear rolled over the black gemstone, causing it to shatter. This happened several times, grinding it into a layer of powder.

Jiang He took out another twenty and continued grinding them, making a whole cup of gemstone powder.

He took out a blood-stained double-headed eagle flag from the big package. It was the secret treasure of military merit that he exchanged in the morning. There was a powerful spiritual being living in it. According to the curse of the item, the other party would invade the holder's dream at night.

The corpse flag was spread on the table, and Jiang He sprinkled black gemstone powder evenly on it. When the two sides came into contact, faint wailing echoed in the private bunker, like crying and complaining.

[Hint: You are being attacked by the Lost Nation's Dream Song]
[Hint: Mental resistance successfully resisted, mental immunity passed]
[Tip: The Song of the Lost Nation is ineffective against you]
As if realizing that resistance was of little use, the corpse flag fluttered violently.

Jiang He quickly let go and retreated to the door of the bunker. The Changhen Spear was separated from its user and immediately showed its terrifying weight. The three thousand jin gun body fell down and broke the table in an instant, pressing the corpse flag to the ground and even making a conspicuous groove.

The black gemstone powder began to explode with a crackling sound, like the thousands of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. After being crushed, its power was not as strong as before, but it also effectively prevented the corpse flag from being destroyed by the explosion.

The targeted damage to the spiritual body gradually took effect. A human-shaped black smoke rose from the surface of the corpse flag, with a hideous face. From the appearance, it was a woman who was struggling frantically at the moment, desperately waving her long black and sharp nails at someone, and a shrill scream rolled in.

Wuhe asked curiously, "What did she say?"

Jiang He shook his head. "The hint says 'Dream Song of the Lost Nation'. It might be a song."

After realizing that the dead soul could not leave the flag, the man and the bird waited patiently.

The ghost struggled for five minutes, and Jiang He ground five more black gems and scattered the powder far away. Immediately, the sizzling sound of fire burning grease could be heard in the bunker. Boom!
The black smoke became thinner and thinner, until at one point it exploded with a loud bang, and the air wave swept through the bunker, but failed to cause any substantial damage.

Jiang He carefully sprinkled another portion of powder, and this time all the noises disappeared. He stepped forward to retrieve the Long Sorrow Spear and the Corpse Shroud Flag. There was no curse or warning on the latter's item introduction. The ancient Byzantine Empire's double-headed eagle could give the royal purple-robed nobles a second set of knight abilities.

"So many chaos bombs, the price is really high." Wuhe was a little shocked by the investment. According to the information he had gathered, there were only a handful of knight families who were able to pay for 27 rare-grade consumables at one time. Such rare good things were thrown away by the executive officers like roadside stones without any hesitation.

"Of course it's worth it."

Jiang He stretched out his hand and grasped the corpse shroud. In just a blink of an eye, the thing began to burn violently. The flowing flames extended along his arm, leaving an eagle head pattern on each shoulder. The pattern on the back only had simple lines and was slightly empty.

"The only thing left is to accommodate the beast soul."

Jiang He felt that the corpse shroud flag was very similar to the totem technology that contained the black tiger soul in the previous derivative mission. As for the target, he already had a plan. In the real world, he tamed a bright red spider on the border, which had the ability to be highly toxic and strengthened by drinking blood. If it was converted into a second set of soul armor and matched with the blood bat armor, then it would have considerable growth potential, and the toxicity could further enhance the energy characteristic of corrosion.

The military merits gained through killing have now all been transformed into strength and foundation.

Jiang He picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading it.

With war as the backdrop, various things are happening outside the stage of Leden City and in other parts of the world.

A Prussian second lieutenant, operating a Maxim heavy machine gun, shot and killed more than two thousand enemy soldiers in the Battle of Verdun. In the end, the French army sent three knights, who suffered one death and two injuries, before they killed the second lieutenant.

The war correspondent stated that the lieutenant was not a knight, but he had the ability of Hawkeye and deserved the attention of all parties.

In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was a man who frequently gave passionate speeches and often went to beer halls and cafes. After each speech, he would make a signature gesture of reaching his hand to the side. Due to the vague identity information, the man was arrested and executed, but until his death, hundreds of drinkers who were infected by his speeches pleaded for him.

Over the Western Front, Prussia's best pilot, Manfred, known as the ace of aces, finally met an equal opponent after shooting down dozens of enemy fighter planes. A middle-aged farmer from a rural village in France became famous. At a cocktail party, he claimed to have 30 years of flying experience.

Jiang He's eyes kept moving. The front pages of almost all newspapers these days were all about the Battle of the Somme, with the street fighting on the battlefield of Leden occupying half of the space. Although their side had spared no effort in promoting the water tank plan, it still could not cover up the heavy losses of three infantry divisions, and more than a hundred "soldiers" with the glory of knights had died in the battle.

In the evening, the second lieutenant of the Lemon family delivered a brand new newspaper. The front page was printed with the eye-catching content "The Sniper Hero of Leden City - The Red Knight".

[Hint: You get the title Red Knight]
[Hint: The title of Red Knight increases targeted damage to flesh and blood by 20 points]
[Tip: You have triggered the side quest]
[Mission Name: Return to Silence]
[Mission content: Eliminate Emperor Otto (0/1)]
[Task Reward: 2 Skill Points]
[Tip: Each time you travel around the world, only one branch line is allowed to be opened, and no mission evaluation bonus will be given. Please choose carefully after triggering it.]
The second lieutenant of the Lemon family said respectfully: "Sir, the colonel said that you should meet the other teammates in the operation."
