Shadow of the Beautiful World

Text 15. Bloody Sacrifice

In fact, from the moment Merlin knew that the Ten Rings were ready for war, he knew that the Ten Rings hidden in the shadows would not stop pursuing the war.

Its coming is unstoppable.

The followers of the Mandarin, and the Death Dog operation in Afghanistan, are only accelerating the arrival of this war.

The conspirator hiding in Eurasia is using his own hands to lure unprepared Americans into the vortex of this war. He has been weaving this web of war for far too long.

What Mandarin needs is for that country to be caught in the chaos of Afghanistan. What he needs is a stab in the artery of that country so that it will slowly bleed without dying.

After all, no one wants to seek group rule over a decaying kingdom.

Merlin could almost guess that in the future, when this war exhausted both sides, Mandarin, who had been secretly accumulating strength, would end the dispute in his own way as a dazzling savior.

His followers said that the North American continent would become the new Church of the Mandarin. The man, the hidden conspirator, was indeed spreading a dangerous belief.

Standing in the military camp in this remote valley, Merlin raised his head and looked at the night sky above him. The stars in the darkness were so dim.

Against the backdrop of the starlight, Merlin seemed to be able to see a huge black figure laughing slyly, using his own hands to cast an ominous black cloth over the land.

He wants to block all the light under this starry sky.

Merlin had also encountered a strong man like Ronan the Kerry who had the ability to destroy the world before, but in that battle, Carol, who was equally powerful, was helping him to withstand all the crises.

And this time, he was alone.

I called everyone who could still move.

The fully armed Billy Russo ran behind Merlin, and he said to Merlin:

In addition to the wounded, we have about 80 people, four helicopters, and some trucks

That place is about 200 kilometers from here.

Merlin shook his head:

When your car arrives, you can only collect the corpses of your generals and companions. How does the Ministry of Defense respond to this matter?

They they let us hold on.

Russo said sadly:

We are very passive, Merlin, this is not our firepower projection area. We also don't have fleet support, the situation is very bad, but no matter what, we can't just watch.

Just stop the truck.

Merlin interrupted Billy Russo. He turned around and said to the second lieutenant behind him:

Let your planes carry your most capable fighters to the battlefield as quickly as possible, while the others stay in the camp. Don't expect to save everyone, it's impossible, save as many as you can.

We need support. The opponent has at least 500 people, and they still have a terrain advantage.

Billy frowned, while Merlin shrugged, reached out and pulled out his blue-gray cane, and swung it in the air:

You have support, and I am your support. I will rush to the battlefield first, and I will try my best to stabilize the situation, but you have to do it yourself to save people.

Merlin says:

I leave the commanding matter to you, and I'll go first.

etc!

A shout came from behind. Frank on crutches was wearing a military uniform, carrying a gun and carrying an ammunition bag on his back. His face was painted with combat oil paint, and he shouted to Merlin and Billy:

I am coming too!

Come on, Frank, this is not a joke!

Billy said to his brother:

Go back and lie down, you can only be considered half a person now, taking you can only become our burden.

I still have a debt to settle with those lunatics!

Frank growled like a beast:

You don't want to leave me, I can fight! I can't run, I can at least stay in the helicopter and shoot at the ground! This is not your war, Billy, don't be so selfish.

swish

At this critical moment, Merlin no longer needed to hide. He pulled out the wand at his waist and threw a light green healing spell on Frank. The light had not dissipated yet, and a new healing spell was added.

A few minutes later, as the seventh healing technique dissipated, Frank threw away his crutches. He took a few steps tentatively. Although he was still a little staggering, he was already able to move by himself.

Very well, we have another 'Avenger'.

Merlin smiled at Billy and Frank, put away his wand, and said softly:

Don't keep me waiting too long, warriors.

After speaking, Merlin's body quickly twisted under the gaze of the two, and then disappeared out of thin air before their eyes.

Shet! Is he a magician?

Billy Russo couldn't help but rubbed his eyes. This scene was really too magical for ordinary people.

And Frank beside him was rubbing his slightly painful waist and abdomen while looking at the empty ground in front of him. The soldier moved his fingers and lifted the firearm in his hand. A grim expression appeared on his oil-painted face. He said:

No matter what he is, he is on our side.

Billy, let the helicopter take off, bring enough ammunition, and let's kill those bastards!

We, go save our brother!

The cold night is not quiet, especially in this desolate desert.

The roar of bullets, the crackling of shells, the groans of the dying, the sound of the dead falling, the sticky blood flowing on the sand, and the lives that are constantly disappearing on the noisy and chaotic battlefield.

All of this broke all the tranquility in this dark night, and then outlined a tragedy in the world.

Hoo, hoo.

Major General Schonover was panting. He hid at the side of his military vehicle. While throwing the empty magazine on the ground, he took out a new magazine and inserted it into the rifle whose barrel was already hot.

Scattered bullets were constantly flying above his head, those deadly little things collided with the steel of the military vehicle, and the sparks and sharp friction sound were as unpleasant as the screams of evil spirits.

Beside the general, there were a few soldiers using military vehicles as cover, firing bullets continuously towards the night in front of them.

At this moment, no one cares whether they can hit the enemy. At this moment, what the soldier has to do is to shoot all the bullets in the rifle.

At least it can block the approach of the enemy.

Hold on! Hold on!

The major general encouraged the soldiers around him with a hoarse voice, but the despair in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

They were already outnumbered, and they were raided by the group of well-equipped militants. In the first wave of chaotic attacks, the four helicopters accompanying the team were completely scrapped. Their ranks were truncated in half.

Especially after those guys fired emp shells, all the comms were destroyed.

This army armed with high technology was wiped out of most of its equipment advantages in an instant. The militants of the Ten Commandments Gang forced these fighters to fight them in the most brutal way.

And this desert is the territory of the Ten Rings Gang. In this unfamiliar terrain, General Schonover's soldiers have no chance of winning.

They are stuck.

They don't know how many people are still alive, they don't know how many enemies are out there, they don't even know if they will survive the next second.

boom

In the chaotic environment, the sound of bullets hitting the skull is so terrifying.

Beside the major general, a soldier's head exploded, and the blood and white liquid splashed out on the ground behind him, under the light of the moon, it looked so horrifying.

His feet were still moving, it was a twitch of nerves.

Mazefak!

The major general gritted his teeth and cursed. He stretched out his hand, tore off the soldier's bloody dog ​​tag, and put it in his pocket.

He felt the bullets shooting more and more intensively, and he knew that those militants were attacking them again. They want to kill everyone, that's their purpose.

Are you afraid?

The general held his gun and looked at the soldiers on the left and right.

No one answered him.

But the gleam in those soldiers' eyes couldn't be fooled by Major General Schonover, who enlisted at the age of 20, just in time for the last stretch of the Vietnam War.

He was probably the only one of these soldiers who actually fought.

He knew what was the only thing they could do in this situation.

Don't be afraid.

The general took a deep breath and said to the others:

Just follow me, God is watching us, you all know that He favors the brave

After finishing speaking, the major general suddenly stood up from behind the bunker. He raised his gun and aimed at a shouting guy. At this moment, under the effect of adrenaline, the major general felt that the time in his eyes slowed down. .

boom

The yelling guy's head was flipped off the next moment, followed by the followers around him.

After the major general fired more than a dozen bullets, the soldiers around him also started to fight back. Taking advantage of the weakening of the opponent's firepower, these soldiers launched a wave of counterattacks with perfect coordination, forcing the militants back.

But there are too few of them.

A few minutes later, the soldiers around the major general fell down one by one.

His own left hand was also broken by flying bullets. He lost his weapon and fell to the ground in the blood all over the ground.

He saw those bastards with their faces covered, walking towards him with their weapons raised. It was the last courage of a veteran that made him crazily pull out a fighting knife from his boots, like a dying beast, and use it With the last strength, he roared and rushed towards the guy closest to him.

puff

The sharp knife entered the body, but this should have been a fatal blow, but it stabbed the arm of the militant. Under severe pain, the masked guy kicked the major general in the chest, kicking him to the ground.

The masked gangster drew his pistol, his gray eyes throbbing with brutal murderous intent as the other militants watched.

The general knew that he was going to die.

He was a little regretful that before he died, he couldn't pull one more enemy to die together.

He was also a little ashamed, his negligence sent the soldiers under his command to hell.

He is not a qualified commander.

However, at the moment Major General Skunov closed his eyes, a sudden arc of light appeared beside him, and in Major General's reopened eyes, a figure in a gray suit appeared beside him.

That guy was holding a strange cane in his hand. The moment he appeared, the heavy cane swung forward, like a war hammer lifted from the bottom to the top, and the masked gangster with the pistol in his hand was thrown into the air. They all flew out.

Warm blood splashed on the general's face, and he looked at the guy in front of him who appeared in a strange way.

The masked militant closest to Merlin immediately raised his gun, but before he could pull the trigger, the black combat knife in Merlin's other hand pierced his eye, and the bloody blade came out from the back of his head. It penetrated, and was pulled back the next moment, and stabbed into another guy's chest, then was pulled out again, and was stabbed into the third guy's temple.

The knife was left there, quietly as if it had found its own home.

The next moment, Merlin swung the heavy cane with both hands and danced in a circle around him, just like playing golf. With the sound of bones breaking, he knocked the remaining guys to the ground.

The bullets shot from all around pierced his body, but failed to hurt him at all.

On the contrary, those flying bullets posed a deadly threat to the militants who were firing quickly on both sides.

Under Major General Skunov's gaze, the cane covered in flesh and blood quickly deformed, and a large-caliber, sci-fi hand cannon appeared in Merlin's hand. During the short energy storage, a dazzling ray shot from the The muzzle flew out, melting a group of people gathered tens of meters away in the scorching energy.

It's not over yet!

Merlin inserted the fighting knife back into his waist, and a blue electric arc erupted from the wrist of his left hand. As the fingers turned outward, the heavy military vehicle that the major general had used as a cover seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, suspended nearly 1 meter in the air , and was thrown to the militants who kept firing on the other side.

Amidst the short and chaotic screams, the major general lying on the ground seemed to hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and bones breaking.

boom

After the third shot from the energy cannon, Merlin stopped attacking.

In the perception of darkness, within tens of meters around, there is only one weak life that is still panting.

Glancing back at the Major General lying on the ground, he drew his wand and cast a Levitation Charm on the Major General, sending him into the shadow of a rock. He didn't chat with the survivor, he was busy, and he had to deal with the chaos elsewhere on the battlefield.

Watching Merlin bend down and pull out his fighting knife from the corpse, and then disappear into smoke, Major General Schonover, who was seriously injured, let out a deep and slightly crazy laugh.

He didn't care what Merlin was.

Whether it was a devil or a wizard, he saw Merlin send those damned masked bastards to hell with his own eyes, and that was enough.

He is on their side.

This is enough

God, are you seeing everything with your own eyes? Is he your messenger?

Thank you merciful Lord.
