Through the counterattack of cannon fodder

On the border of the Sith Empire, outside the city of Billon.

The breeze passed through the forest, and it did not have the natural and fresh smell of the past, but brought a strong smell of blood.

The cries of the soldiers and the hiss of the wild beasts were intertwined. Almost every orc was blinded. The sharp weapons were raised, and then fell heavily. The warm blood stained the skin on the face, but they didn't care about it at all. on these.

And the beast with a hole in its body roared angrily to the sky, ignoring the bleeding wound, swooped down and rushed into the battle again.

The beasts in front kept falling down, countless corpses were piled up layer by layer, and bright red blood flowed out from their bodies, staining the ground under their feet red, as if it also reflected the boundless sky red...

And at this time, a black figure appeared in the forest not far away...

"Sir, it's that person..." A voice sounded.

The moment the voice fell, an order was spoken: "Rosa, César and all the captains stay. Reed, immediately lead the others back to the city."

"Yes!"

"Green, what are you still doing there!"

"Sorry, I'll be right back!"

The soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles quickly returned to the city under Reed's leadership. They were not in the mood to celebrate the meager victory just now, because outside the city, the battle was still going on.

Inside the city of Billon.

"Green, what were you thinking just now?" Mander asked.

The expression on Green's face was stunned, and then he shook his head: "Nothing." Then he frowned and looked at the city gate, and whispered: "That person is very strong..."

"Well, but the Major General and they will be back."

The soldiers waited from the high sun until the sky was full of clouds, and only a few figures appeared outside the city.

There were large patches of blood on their bodies, and two of them were even unconscious. For a while, almost no one dared to step forward to ask questions.

"Reed——" the person headed by him had a stern face, his gray eyes seemed to be filled with ice and snow that would not melt for a thousand years, and he was the deputy commander of this battle, Olivia.

"Yes!" Reed stepped forward and stood in front of the man.

Olivia turned her head slightly, gestured behind her, and ordered: "Arrange someone to send the two captains back."

Reed immediately responded, "Yes!"

He was about to step forward, but a burly man in the group said, "I'll send Kony back, but please remember to send someone to send more healing potions, otherwise I don't think Kony might be able to see it." Tomorrow's sun!"

After hearing this, Reed turned his head to look at Olivia, only to see Olivia nodded, "I will send someone to send it."

After arranging the rest of the people, Olivia said to the person behind her, "Cesar, come with me."

After entering the door of the command room, César grabbed Olivia's arm, "Brother, how are you doing?"

Olivia frowned, coughed twice, and there was a faint blood stain on the corner of his lips, but he shook his head and said, "It's okay." Then, he walked to the cabinet and took out a bottle of medicine from it.

César looked at the bottle of potion, turned his wrist and took out a bottle of coagulation potion and handed it over, "Use this!"

Olivia glanced at it casually, reached out to take it, and then poured it down.

A total of eight people participated in the previous battle, but among the eight people, only Olivia and Coney were level [-] hunters, so the main attack was completed by these two, and Olivia even had to attack in the middle. Help others block an attack.

At this time, Olivia threw away the used potion bottle with her backhand, and looked up at César: "That man, what do you think?"

Ross naturally passed the news from Xerath to Olivia as soon as possible. They naturally knew that not only Xerath's army but also a tenth-level hunter were their opponents this time. .

Level ten hunters are naturally strong, but that's not what Olivia asked.

"It's stronger than last time, but at the end of the battle, the energy in his body fluctuated greatly." César said, he paused, and made a guess: "There seems to be something wrong with the energy in his body?"

Olivia's expression didn't change at all, and she continued, "It's not that there's a problem, it's just that I can't control it." He raised his eyes and looked out the window, his cold voice poured out from those thin lips, but he inadvertently said A secret shrouded in dust: "That person probably couldn't control the energy in his body."

-

Sith Empire, military conference room.

Regarding the production of the tenth-level potion, Tran held a three-hour meeting with everyone, including the specific matters about the advancement of Xenya Lachesis that were recorded at the beginning, as well as the tenth-level potion made by Durga and the others. The research on the potion was analyzed step by step, and the general direction was finally discussed. The rest depends on whether the research can really produce results.

After the meeting, everyone went back one after another, but there was one person who was always sitting where he was, showing no intention of getting up.

"Li An, aren't you going back?" Tran asked.

He has known Li An for a long time, not to mention his status as the president of the Pharmacist Guild, Tran himself is also an eighth-level pharmacist, so he and Li An can naturally be friends of the same generation.

Li An kept looking down at the stack of documents in front of him, when Tran thought he would not speak, Li An suddenly said, "Whose idea is this?"

Tran frowned slightly, puzzled and said, "Why do you ask that suddenly?"

Li An raised his head and looked at Tran with a sharp look in his eyes: "You know that there will be problems in advancing by that method."

"How do you—" Tran subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, "How do you know?" But halfway through, he suddenly remembered the identity of the person in front of him.

Li An is not only a ninth-level pharmacist, but also a contractor of the current head of the Lachesis family.

And Senya Lachesis is from that family.

Thinking of this, Tran sighed heavily.

"Is that really the case?" Li An looked at Tran's expression and whispered to himself.

After hearing this, Tran suddenly raised his head to look at Li An, and subconsciously raised his voice: "I rely on you to cheat me!"

At this time, Li An didn't care about his behavior just now. Instead, he sat up straight, looked straight at Tran and said, "Now, aren't you willing to tell the truth?"

Tran rarely avoided Li An's gaze and looked away, and said, "Why don't you ask the Marshal yourself?"

"I thought you knew the reason, Tran..." Li An still looked at him with a very calm tone, but after listening carefully, he could find a force that could not be ignored in that very light tone.

If Lachlan could know the result, would he stay here?

Tran was speechless, he really wanted to throw the information in front of Li An's face, and then say "I know your sister"!

But seeing Li An's appearance today that he was bound to pursue it to the end, Tran finally resigned to his fate and sat opposite Li An, and asked, "How do you know that there is something wrong with that advanced method?"

"Guess." Li An replied.

Tran: "..."

Fortunately, Li An knew how to measure, so he finally answered Tran's question seriously after that sentence: "I don't need to say how important it is to be able to break through the physical limit and reach the tenth level. Anyone can understand it, but I have never Isn't it suspicious that I haven't seen any prescriptions for advanced tenth levels anywhere?"

Tran argued: "This matter is also related to the issue of the inheritance stone, and it is normal that this prescription is not announced to the public, right?"

Li An nodded, and took advantage of the situation and said: "It's normal not to announce it to the public, but I haven't seen the slightest trace of this in the Pharmacist Guild for so many years. This is no longer an issue of announcement? As long as there is a little bit of making a tenth-level potion Maybe, we should try our best to study, this is the normal way of coping, isn't it?"

Tran hesitated to speak, but Li An didn't wait for him this time, but went on to say: "Besides, the records about Xenia Lachesis have always been very general. Everyone knows that he is reaching the tenth level. Afterwards, the hunter practiced everywhere, but I didn’t see any records about this experience in the clan records, do you think this is normal?”

Tran didn't want to talk at all.

"Next, he founded the Senya Academy on the condition of announcing the 'reasons for the breakthrough in physique and the dual cultivation of martial arts', but the answer he gave was a mutation in mental power. Regarding this point, I don't think anyone has more right to speak than me... ..." Li An looked up at Tran, and said slowly: "If the mutation of mental power can lead to a breakthrough in physique, why doesn't César show any sign of it at all?"

"The last point is that after he founded Xenya Academy, Xenia Lachesis disappeared, and the records in the clan's records about it were also erased. If it wasn't for something that couldn't be made public, why bother Such a waste of time?"

After finishing speaking, Li An threw the information in front of Tran and asked, "So now, don't you want to say it? Tran—"

After Li An's voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the conference room. Tran looked at the stack of materials that Li An threw over, and shook his head gently: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't say it."

Li An frowned, and at this time Tran continued: "You guessed it right, there are indeed problems with the method of advancing through inheritance stones."

Li An did not speak, quietly waiting for Tran to speak.

"When Senya discovered the inheritance stone, he wanted to use the energy in it to help him break through to level ten. At that time, the Pharmacist Guild also participated in this matter. In the end, they also developed a potion that could help absorb the energy in the inheritance stone. , and Xenya also broke through the tenth level under the expectation of everyone."

"This is indeed something worthy of being recorded in the history books, but it didn't take long for Xenia to find that the energy in his body was not under control." Tran looked at Li An, "He claimed that during the two years of experience around, In fact, he didn’t go anywhere, but stayed in the pharmacist’s guild, relying on the energy-soothing potions made by himself and other pharmacists to help control the energy riots in the body. But this can only play a role in mitigating, but it can’t really Help Senya to control the energy in his body."

"You are afraid that someone with a heart will focus on this, and simply put the matter on the bright side, founded the Xenya Academy, and then changed the post, and attributed everything to Xenia Lachesis's mental power mutation, yes right?" Leon asked.

Tran didn't nod or shake his head, "The establishment of Senya Academy is indeed what Senya has always wanted to do. When the two things collide, it can only be said to be a coincidence."

"What happened later?" Li An didn't delve into this, but continued to ask.

Tran sighed, "You guessed it too! If an orc can't control the energy in his body, what will happen to him?"

At the beginning of the creation of the Saiyan Continent, countless orcs died due to the energy riots in their bodies, and the profession of pharmacist was born because of this.

Tran said again: "And Xenya had already lost control of himself at the end. You know how much impact such a tenth-level hunter has had, so he chose to end himself before he completely lost control. life. For the empire, this is not something worth promoting, if not for this war, this secret will be buried forever."

Li An lowered his eyes, and after a while, he asked again: "If this is the case, why continue this kind of tragedy? And according to what you said, Xenia Lachesis was able to persist because of the potions that soothe energy. Go on, if you don't care about it, that person from Xerath will kill himself soon, right?"

"Because... I can't wait..." Tran slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the arc was a little sad, "It is true that he will kill himself, but before he dies, he will definitely bring great harm to the empire." It will have an indelible impact. That is thousands of people, we cannot afford to lose..."

If a tenth-level hunter is created, only one person will be sacrificed, but if this is not done, thousands of soldiers and people may die.

Such a choice leaves no room for thought.

Li An closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then opened them again.

He took a deep breath, and finally asked the last question, but there was an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "Then, please tell me—"

"The candidate for this tenth-level advanced... who is it?"
