Chapter 70 Legion's Evidence
Chapter 70 Legion's Evidence
At night, dark clouds blocked the moonlight.
There was war raging near the Leden Library.
Both the enemy and our side continued to send reinforcements, turning the battlefield into a meat grinder. The library has become the center of the vortex, determining the strategic affiliation of the entire East District of Leden.
In the abandoned factory next to the alley, the action team slowly moved deeper along the wall.
Without any need for communication, the four of them knew that as a building with a high altitude view, there must be people inside this factory, and they were most likely in the same camp as the troops that passed by before.
The trumpet crow landed on someone's shoulder. Because of the quiet environment around him, Wuhe used the exclusive chat channel for executives and intelligence officers to report the news.
[The factory has three floors. The stairs on the first and second floors are booby-trapped. There are seven people on the third floor: a sniper, two people with submachine guns, a flamethrower, and three riflemen.]
Jiang He relayed the information, and since all the team members were knights, no one asked about the source of the information.
Grey Knight Rayman said, "I can paralyze all seven of them, but I need to be in the right position and have some time to prepare. The paralysis will last for seven seconds. The three of you should try not to use guns to kill them. Leave the removal of the booby traps to Porcupine, he's a top student."
Jiang He took out his bayonet and carved a floor plan on the wall bit by bit according to Wuhe's description. In order to save work, the enemy soldiers were all in the image of matchstick men.
Grey Knight Rayman touched the marks and said, "Okay, let's leave it to Porcupine next."
The four continued forward and reached a staircase. Porcupine groped around at an incredibly slow speed. His usual irritable state disappeared, replaced by a professional calmness.
Everyone present remained patient. The porcupine paused for a moment, and then became noticeably faster.
"One is a movable booby trap, and the other is a reverse booby trap. The former is hidden under the stone slab and will explode if you step on it. The latter can be left alone. If you insist on removing it, wait until I'm far away."
No one answered. Porcupine began his engineering work. The safety of the booby trap under the stone slab had been pulled. Any touch might affect the firing pin and cause an explosion. He pulled out a dozen thorns from his body to support the stone slab, then used a bayonet to thin one thorn, and carefully, by feeling his way, inserted the thin thorn into the safety hole of the booby trap.
"boom!"
The porcupine suddenly stood up, baring its teeth and claws.
The scene fell into a long silence.
Grey Knight Rayman clenched his fists and took a deep breath. One booby trap would not kill him, but this action was undoubtedly out of line.
"Childish." Jiang He commented.
"I didn't feel any danger," Tommy said.
Porcupine snorted, "Then let's just say you two are deserters with some courage."
"Porcupine!" Grey Knight Rayman lowered his voice and said angrily, "Don't joke around during the mission. If you delay my progress, don't blame me for turning against you."
The porcupine shrank his head, "Got it."
The four continued to go up to the second floor, where Porcupine was still responsible for removing the booby traps. Standing at the stairs, they could already hear the enemy's whispered conversation coming from above.
With an extremely slight clicking sound, the porcupine stood up. Seeing this, Grey Knight Rayman touched the wall with his hand, and a white light suddenly appeared.
After a few breaths, screams were heard from the rooftop, but they disappeared in an instant.
He said aloud: "You take action."
Upon receiving the signal, the three members of the team immediately rushed to the third floor at full speed. The seven Prussian soldiers, except for the charge officer lying on the steel on the left side of the staircase, gathered around the nearly extinguished charcoal fire.
At this moment, all the soldiers looked stiff and rigid.
Jiang He was as fast as a phantom. His agility of 12 points allowed him to cross the distance in front of him in an instant. He suddenly stabbed the bayonet in his hand into the eye socket of a Prussian infantryman, turned around and took the enemy's life. He then raised his leg and kicked with all his strength, directly smashing the head of another Prussian infantryman.
The porcupine roared angrily and moved faster, but the opponent showed no intention of giving up his life. The bayonet pulled out from the soldier's eye socket cut the sniper's throat, and then stabbed into the assaulter's head. Then he swung it, and with the huge force, the bayonet penetrated the eye socket of the third infantryman and came out from the back of his head, killing all five people.
Jiang He broke the neck of the last soldier. This guy was responsible for carrying the flamethrower and had a strong physique. When he touched the other person's skin, a strong electric shock emerged. These Prussian soldiers on the third floor were all stiffened by the electric shock rising from the ground.

On the other side, Tommy also dealt with the attacker near the stairs.
The porcupine was slightly dissatisfied, "You two are really good at snatching."
Jiang He let go of the soldier's body and said, "You are too slow. Who will wait for you on the battlefield?"
The battle was over and Grey Knight Rayman went up to the third floor.
Tommy pulled out a pistol on him.
"Sir, I remember that one of the three leaders of the Prussian Sword of the Tree Reverse was codenamed Thunder Sword. Do you have anything to explain?"
Grey Knight Rayman's expression remained unchanged. "What's there to explain? The fact that I can inherit the title of Grey Knight means that there is no problem with the review. Do you think you are stricter than the King's Shield?"
"Who are you pointing the gun at?"
The porcupine turned around and suddenly became angry, shouting: "Mr. Grey Knight is from an ancient noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The first generation of Thunder Swords last century and the current second generation of Thunder Swords were just ordinary villagers at the beginning. Don't compare them!"
Tommy looked hesitant.
Seeing this, the porcupine was about to charge forward, but the Grey Knight Rayman waved his hand to stop him. He turned around and said, "Although your suspicion is unpleasant, for the sake of the team and the mission, I can explain a little. Not everyone who uses lightning power must be a Thunder Sword. In the past hundred years, four types of Thunder Knights have appeared in the world. The sources of power come from electric eels, electric rays, electric catfish, and starfish. Behind me is a family that has passed down the power of electric eels for four hundred years. As for Prussia's two generations of Thunder Swords, they are all users of the power of electric rays, and they only stepped onto the extraordinary stage in the Victorian era."
After a while, Tommy put away the pistol.
"I'm sorry, sir, I got too excited."
"It won't happen again." Grey Knight Lehman replied solemnly.
Jiang He, who was watching almost the entire process, seemed to be thinking about something, and at this moment, Wuhe passed the message through the communication channels.
[On the Prussian side, four people from the standard team have approached your factory. They are not knights from this world. My intelligence officer’s map marks them as players. Two are LV9 and two are LV8. They should be a group of players who entered this world together using the Legion Certificate.]
Jiang He's heart sank, and he relayed, "Enemy attack, four knights, have not yet entered the factory."
"It looks like this is a trap set up specifically for luring people." Grey Knight Lehman said, "Get rid of them. Rhine Sniper, Porcupine and Tommy will guard the stairs. I'll go out and test their quality."
Suddenly, Tommy's face changed drastically, "Hide!"
A few seconds later, a Prussian M16 210mm howitzer hit the wall of the third floor of the factory. In an instant, it was like a thunderclap from the sky. A loud bang swept around, and the ground began to shake noticeably. The second and third floors of the factory collapsed instantly, and smoke and dust rolled up.
