Chapter 617: Deep in the nest

Chapter 580

If you want to describe the enemy’s nest, the first thing Xia Fan thinks of is

the mouse nest.

No one knows how long Dr. Du Lin has been operating here. The caves in the

rock wall were opened one by one, forming a complicated underground network.

In the face of the church's sudden raid, the enemies hiding inside immediately

resisted desperately, and had no intention of disarming and surrendering.

It’s just that in the face of the absolute overwhelming power, their

counterattacks appear to be quite limited-not to mention swords, bows, and

crossbows. The opponent's most threatening is undoubtedly the guns and

artillery, especially the short-barreled guns in the middle of the aisle, with

shotguns. Basically, the entire offensive line can be blocked. If it is used

to deal with ordinary people, it is indeed invulnerable, but it is a pity that

their opponent is the trial team this time.

The church seems to have long been prepared to deal with this kind of

firearms. The two dragon descendants directly raised heavy iron shields to

block the front of the aisle, and a companion released barrier spells in the

rear. The double insurance made the small caliber firearms seem weak and

unable to fire in turns. Prevent the advancement of the trial team.

Taxisi assumed the responsibility of the main attack.

She is good at shaping energy, and it is the most violent fire spell.

It is probably that the dragon's heart spell is related to the flames, even

the ordinary fireball technique, in her hands it has become a powerful killer.

Often the enemy is still looking for cover to stop her. She has turned the

sulphur in her hand into a ball of liquid beads the size of a fingernail and

threw it towards the opponent's location. After that, the violently expanding

flame mixed with hot air waves swallowed everything around, if it spread to

the powder box, it would cause a more violent explosion. In a closed cave,

such a blow is absolutely fatal. If it weren't for the strong body given by

the possessor, even the Dragonborn would not be able to gain a foothold in the

aisle that was repeatedly swept by the shock wave.

"These guys... are not gang members of Azure Fort." Des Moines leaned over and

checked the scorched corpse above the ground. "They are a bit like pirates who

once entangled in the tranquil sea."

"Are you sure?" Taxis raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, look at the skull ring and blood flag tattoo they wear... These are all

symbols of classical sea pirates."

"What do you mean?" Xia Fan asked Olena in a low voice, "Is this pirate

divided into classical and modern?"

"Uh..." The latter is also a little confused, "I only heard that there have

been no pirates in Tranquility Sea for a long time. As for how to classify it,

I don't quite understand..."

"If you have any questions, just ask me directly." Taksis turned her head and

said to Xia Fan, "The so-called classical pirates are the people who first

appeared on the ocean. Most of them are lawless elements and desperate people.

Attacking ships to grab money. Tranquility Sea is also a major trade channel

for countries, so pirates were particularly rampant for a period of time.

However, as countries have increased their crackdowns, the pirates of all

parties have suffered heavy losses, and the Tranquility Sea area is now

basically extinct. NS."

"What is the non-classical pirate?"

"Of course it is the armies of various countries." Taksis smiled.

"My lord." Des Moines coughed twice, reminding his boss to pay attention to

his words.

“There’s nothing to say about this. Whether it’s the Holy Wing Islands,

Ranjis, or Natalie, everyone knows it well.” The girl didn’t care. “Compared

to the classical pirates, these new pirates Well-equipped, with the most

advanced battleships and firearms, and the ships are often equipped with

several spellcasters. They can be killed without leaving a living, which is

much more difficult to deal with than the previous gang."

"Master Yong Wing!" The Guardian Knight interrupted again.

"It turns out that's the case." Xia Fan patted Des Moines on the shoulder,

"Don't be too nervous. I have seen such pirates with my own eyes. It's really

not a secret."

"What do you mean?" He frowned.

"Nattating's fleet has just made an appearance in the east. On weekdays, it is

the governor of the navy, and it becomes a pirate when it attacks the city."

"Have you ever had a conflict with the navy of Natatium?" Taxis asked

unexpectedly, "What happened in the end?"

"The governor died in battle, the ship was confided, and thousands of

prisoners were arrested." Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed.

The girl was stunned, and then laughed, "There is such a thing? Why didn't you

say it earlier! With this deed alone, you will be welcomed by the Hera Church.

Although there is no way to commend it publicly, there are various benefits.

It is absolutely indispensable!"

"Even if victory has nothing to do with the Holy Wing Islands?"

"How could it be irrelevant. Every weakening of the Kingdom of Natatium is to

relieve the pressure of the countries." Taxis looked at Xia Fan's eyes more

eagerly. "The church has been recruiting for Nata The warrior who caused

trouble in the court, when this matter is over, follow us to the royal

capital."

"My lord, it might be true or not. Let's catch the real culprit who attacked

the convoy first, and then talk about other things." Des Moines reminded,

"They are coming around again."

The battle in the cave lasted for about an hour, and the enemy’s resistance

gradually weakened.

Taxisi and his group also made their way into the deepest part of the lair.

Obviously there are pores connected to the outside world, not only does not

feel depressed, but also occasionally feels a cool breeze.

The trial team raised the torch and walked into the cave, which quickly

illuminated this small space.

"How did you... find this place?"

A middle-aged man sits leaning against a stone wall, with doubts and regrets

in his tone, but he has no fear.

"He is Du Lin!" Li pointed out on the spot.

"Yes, I am Doctor Du Lin." Du Lin's complexion was a little pale, he was

holding his waist, and wisps of blood were leaking between his fingers.

"Unexpectedly, the Church of Hera would notice a small person like me. I am

really honored...cough cough..."

He was injured, Xia Fan realized.

This person was not hiding here from the beginning. He might also want to

resist the attack of the church with other murderers, but was injured by the

stray bullets that exploded and had to withdraw from the battle.

Could someone like this be the mastermind of the entire attack? Perhaps Du Lin

is extremely proficient in medication and torturing patients, but his own

strength is too weak, not like a strong man who can make the team suddenly

disappear.

But who is it if it’s not him? The enemies in the cave have lost their ability

to resist the church due to their deaths and injuries. There are also one or

two demon owners, but compared with a group of elite dragon descendants, the

difference in strength is like a sky deep, and it can't cause enough trouble

for the trial group. After cleaning all the way, the resistance of the lair

was far lower than he expected.

Taxis took a step forward and lifted the opponent from the

ground~www.mtlnovel.com~ Where is the Son of the Holy Spirit? "

"Ah... just behind this wall..." Du Lin said difficultly.

"How to open the wall?"

"You need to turn the handle...it's ten steps to the left."

His cooperative attitude made Xia Fan a little more vigilant.

"Be careful, in the underground laboratory, we have encountered a mechanism

spraying dead fog."

"I know. But the dragonborn is not so afraid of the dead fog," Taxis nodded.

"The hot flames are enough to make the dead fog retreat."

She quickly found a handle and followed Yan.

Driven by the screw device, the stone wall slowly slid open to one side,

exposing the hidden inner chamber.

When it was fully opened, Xia Fan's heart suddenly sank.

This inner room is only two feet long and wide, plus candles are lit, so

people outside can easily see the internal situation.

The first thing Xia Fan saw were two corpses nailed to the wall with iron

bonds.
