Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 68: War Breaks Out Again

A group of people surrounded the Tyrant who wasn't exploding his soul, meticulously hacking him into pieces. The squad leader, in particular, wielding a two-handed greatsword, would slash and swing his sword, sending bits of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The technicians operating the Tyrant remotely were completely dumbfounded. Do these guys have a necrophiliac fetish?

Why keep hacking at a lifeless corpse? Can't you at least give it a chance to mutate?

He pounded on the keyboard, yelling at his supervisor.

"They're unlocking the Tyrant's mutation limiter, but with them constantly cutting him down, I don't think the Tyrant has a chance to rise again."

The technician was right; after the tyrant began to mutate, these killers became even more excited to hack and slash.

The killers slashed at the tyrant for half an hour. With each strike, flesh and blood would regenerate, and a tug-of-war would ensue with the continuously mutating corpse. Five people stood beside the tyrant's limbs and chopped away whatever grew out.

Then, to the technician's bewildered gaze, they cheered.

He plucked something from the completely silent corpse of the tyrant and presented it to Li Wei with both hands as if offering a treasure.

Li Wei looked at the huge mass of souls in front of him, wondering how many people had been fed to him by the creation of this thing.

"I'm going back now. I'll squeeze it and see how it goes. We'll split it equally later."

Then Li Wei took out the white wax stone and his notebook, and continued to draw runes on the ground to summon people.

This scene was clearly seen by the technicians controlling the monitors.

The supervisor immediately shouted.

"Zoom in on the video, I want to see what's written in the notebook."

Comparing the knight summoned by the runes drawn by Li Wei, the steward panted heavily and almost roared.

"Memorize these runes immediately and have someone draw them on the ground to test them!"

If they could summon one or two researchers, that would be much more satisfying than resorting to brute force like this. They would be very envious of the physical abilities of these knights, who could use a shield to block the force of a tyrant's punch that could smash through a wall.

What he didn't know was that it was a pity. If he could just draw whatever he wanted, Li Wei could just take the carved seal and brush it on. Why bother with the tedious handwriting?

Li Wei isn't stupid. If there's a way, why wouldn't he want to be lazy? It only works if the drawing is done with the magical item, the white wax stone, and it has to be drawn by Li Wei himself, the smuggler.

In order to specifically deal with the wall-climbing Lickers, Livi recruited more than a dozen Nordic strongmen who were armed with large bows and could fire javelins with the force of heavy artillery by adding arrows to their butts.

If a flesh-and-blood creature is hit by an arrow, the impact alone can dismember it.

With so many wounded, the priest had to conserve his magic for saving lives, so forget about using the lightning spear or anything like that.

Li Wei realized that he was severely lacking in mages, so he decided to go back to the capital and find a way to break down the doors of the Grand Archives.

Light firearms also have limitations; they are merely over-equipped. At least once the tower shield man opens his shield wall, modern rifles can't handle the massive steel shields that are measured in centimeters.

In the future, when you go to the high-tech world, you can get some heavy armor for your people, or even power armor. Rifles will be useless against them, but mages can grow in a straight line. Later on, mages have a wide variety of abilities.

Most importantly, these guys are also research and development experts. Copying the sorceress's spells might be a bit troublesome, but if they could get the simplified magic signs of the Witcher, that would be wonderful. The knight, who is already tough enough, would be even tougher with an eggshell on top of him.

"Ken! Are you still alive? If you are, find everyone and gather them down to the open area outside."

"Okay, boss, but checking each room one by one is too slow."

"So, where's Anri?"

"They died. They covered the retreat of those people and were overwhelmed by those monsters."

"Oh, I'll pull her over right away and have her help you."

When the dead reappear before people, besides being startled, they are filled with greed, the extreme greed.

People in that world are all the same; the pursuit of immortality has been ongoing since ancient times.

While biochemical research is nominally for evolution and to develop biological weapons, it ultimately aims to achieve immortality through cell regeneration.

When Anri appeared wearing that armor that was torn to shreds by claws, the supervisor monitoring the area immediately suffered a brain injury.

His eyes were red, and he immediately gave the order.

"Send out a special task force and capture one or two of them at any cost!"

Notify the Simmons family, the Benevito family, Blue Umbrella, Triple Company, Wilfama, and Shenya Pharmaceuticals that we are united.

Their secrets must be uncovered.

So a day later, while Li Wei was unloading cargo from the transport plane to load the survivors, he received the news.

"Boss, armed troops have come and are demanding that we lay down our weapons and surrender. They say they are some kind of American unit and are taking over this place."

Li Wei stuffed a small box of ammunition into his storage space, picked up the walkie-talkie clipped to his chest, and shouted.

"Forget about those guys, ignore them, and kill them if they dare to lay a hand on us."

The other side immediately responded excitedly.

"No problem, boss."

Hearing this tone, Li Wei immediately offered a reminder.

"We're not allowed to cause trouble first."

A disappointed voice came from behind.

"Okay, boss."

Li Wei shook his head and continued to pick up the ammunition box, but before he could load it for long, the city was filled with gunfire and a series of explosions.

It's clear that the two sides have started fighting.

"What happened?"

"They attacked first! They wanted to arrest us, and we were just forced to retaliate."

"I'll send someone with the equipment and wipe them all out!"

Li Wei sighed. Why does it always have to escalate like this? Can't I just trade quietly this once?

The knights were at a disadvantage in street battles, but once they charged into the enemy lines, it was a massacre.

But if it gets dragged into urban warfare, these soldiers will be at a huge disadvantage; their physical attributes are what they are.

His superhuman physical abilities allowed him to jump from the second or third floor, surprising the soldiers without even bouncing off the ground.

If the wall isn't thick enough, these killers can easily break through it.

Moreover, assassins have excellent senses and are first-rate at ambushes and assassinations. After all, bows and arrows have their advantages, namely, they are very stealthy.

The steel jungle is still a jungle.

As for spies who can use stealth footwork and invisibility magic, they are so deadly that you won't even know how you died. Apart from the barbarians like the Norse hunks, various knightly orders have shoved quite a few of these things into Li Wei's ranks.

After fighting for several hours, and with the zombies holding them back, the soldiers were unable to expand into the city. After Li Wei had his men take the guns and grenade launchers over, they were pushed back even further.

If it weren't for the abundance of armed helicopters, the presence of armored vehicles as firing points on the ground, and the formidable weapon of tanks, they would have already been defeated.

The armed helicopters dared not fly into the city either. The Nordic warriors' arrows and thunder guns were not to be trifled with. They would hide by that window and fire a shot at the precise location of the propeller, or have the thunder gun explode and cause a short circuit and fire in that area.

Black Hawk Down would then immediately take place.

"Sir, this must be a misunderstanding. Could you please have your men cease fire?"

"Are you kidding me?"
