Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 108 Otto Claire

Su Qing looked at the ancient longsword and took it from the old general's hand.

Although Su Qing's profession did not allow him to equip longswords, he still accepted the longsword.

This is the old general's recognition of him.

[Special Equipment: Otto Claire]

【Effect:???】

Su Qing didn't dwell on the unknown consequences, because he had more important things to do right now.

The city gates opened, and Su Qing stood before everyone.

He drew the longsword named Otto Claire, raising the blade high, its cold light reflecting off the orange glow.

Just like the old general before him.

"Everyone, maintain yesterday's formation. Archers, fire freely!"

The strange beasts surged in like a tide, but with the veterans' skillful coordination and the combined attacks of Su Qing and others, they crumbled.

"this one?"

Wang Yao killed a strange beast with a single blow of his shield, his face showing disdain.

Su Qing ignored Wang Yao's boasting.

Today, the morale of the entire army is high, and the attack of the alien beasts has been quickly resolved.

The time for reckoning has come.

"All troops, attack!"

"Target: The Rift's lair!"

With Su Qing's command, everyone moved forward with steady steps toward the root of everything.

The team continued forward until they finally arrived at the edge of the canyon.

The group stopped.

Su Qing stood at the edge of the canyon, with a dark mass of strange beasts beneath her feet.

I didn't have a concrete idea of ​​what Brother Niu was talking about before.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, even Su Qing felt his scalp tingle.

Through the binoculars, he saw the deepest part of the canyon, where the enormous mother creature lay on the ground, her swollen belly rising and falling.

Each rise and fall represents the birth of a new larva of a strange beast.

The larvae grow rapidly into adult individuals shortly after birth.

Wang Yao swallowed.

"Su-zai, this quantity..."

'

In response to Wang Yao, Su Qing gave the order to charge.

"Rush!"

"They have no intelligence; they only attack on instinct."

"Our goal is not to annihilate them all at once, but to destroy the mother organism."

At Su Qing's command, the charge began.

Wang Yao always took the lead, and as a tank, he was always at the forefront of every battle.

Behind him was Li Daniu waving his staff, and Selena sitting on a flying carpet.

The veterans and Agu, among others, followed closely behind under the old general's leadership.

The progress was unexpectedly smooth.

The strange beasts along the way were easily killed by this high-spirited team, paving a path to the mother.

Su Qing was not happy about this; instead, she frowned.

This is too easy. This is a hellish difficulty dungeon. How could it be so simple?

He turned to look at the old general.

"Something's not right."

The old general, who had spent his life in the military, had a relaxed expression on his face.

He placed his rough, large hand on Su Qing's shoulder and grinned.

"Don't worry, we'll win."

Seeing the old general's relaxed smile, Su Qing nodded, suppressed her unease, and continued forward.

The distance to the mother body was less than 500 meters.

It looks like this battle will be won soon.

So, unsurprisingly, something unexpected was about to happen.

The mother seemed to sense the threat, suddenly tilted her head back, and let out a piercing scream.

Immediately afterwards, the mother's swollen abdomen began to writhe wildly.

This time, instead of spitting out larvae one by one, they spit out dozens at a time.

"withstand!"

Wang Yao roared and launched a provocation, temporarily relieving the sudden pressure.

But as the saying goes, "one effort is enough, but the second will be weaker, and the third will be exhausted," the momentum of the charge was firmly suppressed, and it could not be revived.

"No, there are too many!"

Li Daniu wielded his staff with such speed and precision that any opening he made was quickly patched up by the newly born beast.

Su Qing now understands where the difficulty lies in making this decision.

Although at first glance these strange beasts seem to be of average strength and unable to cause any casualties to their side.

But if this production rate continues, everyone will be worked to death.

Moreover, the formation has already shown signs of loosening.

Su Qing knew that he now only had two paths before him.

They could either abandon their defensive stance, sacrifice lives, and forcibly tear open a bloody path to complete the decapitation plan.

Alternatively, while everyone still has energy, we can retreat immediately and abandon any potential hidden rewards.

Su Qing did not hesitate and chose to retreat.

Just as he was about to give the order to retreat.

The old general placed his hand on his shoulder.

Su Qing turned around and saw an unprecedented sense of relief on the old general's face.

"Old general, let's give up. Retreat is the only option."

The old general shook his head, and his next sentence shocked Su Qing.

"Young Su, actually... you're not from this world, are you?"

His statement was not a question, but an affirmative one.

Su Qing was stunned. Did the old general know that this was a dungeon world?

Before Su Qing could answer, the old general continued speaking to himself.

"Our kingdom has actually perished long ago."

97

"What?!"

This statement completely shocked Su Qing.

The old general looked up at the gray sky.

"I knew all along that the kingdom had already fallen."

"We old folks have no home for a long time."

"Then why..."

"I lied to them."

The old general looked at the veterans fighting fiercely before him.

"I just... wanted to give these old guys a reason to live."

Su Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder the old general agreed so readily yesterday; no wonder he always felt that the old general was hiding something from him.

What has sustained these forty or so veterans until now is a complete lie.

The old general patted Su Qing heavily on the shoulder. "Thank you, young Su."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for bringing food, for bringing hope, and for giving us old folks our final glory."

The old general glanced down at the Otto Clair belt around Su Qing's waist.

"Don't lose that sword."

"That's the last proof that we old folks have lived in this world."

"9

Su Qing gripped the sword hilt tightly and remained silent.

He knew what the old general was going to do, but he did not stop him.

This is the moment that belongs to these veterans, their final resting place.

The old general turned around, drew his spare longsword from his waist, and pointed it at the sky.

"Third Cavalry Regiment, heed my command!"

A roar drowned out the sounds of fighting on the battlefield.

The veterans, who were fighting hard, turned their heads in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"exist!"

The old general chuckled, just like yesterday.

"I'm sorry, old friends, I lied to you. The kingdom is long gone."

"Now, as commander, I will issue the final orders."

"We'll clear the way for these lads!"

The veterans were stunned for a moment, then they all laughed, laughing freely and heartily.

"Old Commander, we actually knew all along."

"Yeah, old commander, you're really bad at lying."

The old general smiled, but his smile was tinged with tears.

The one-eyed veteran kicked a strange beast away and turned to look at Su Qing.

"Hey Su, watch closely!"

"Today I'll show you what real cavalry is all about!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the veterans simultaneously threw away their shields, abandoning their defense.

Since that's no longer necessary, there's only one thing to do next.

open circuit!

A dazzling light burst forth from the veterans.

Su Qing subconsciously squinted her eyes.

In the light, the veterans' hunched bodies straightened, and their gray hair turned black again.

Beneath their feet, warhorses formed from condensed light appeared out of thin air.

The warhorses neighed, their voices shaking the heavens!

The old general mounted his horse, a magnificent warhorse.

He turned back for one last look at Su Qing.

"charge!"

Forty veterans and forty warhorses transformed into an unstoppable golden torrent, crashing fiercely into the horde of strange beasts.

Then, the only sound in the air was the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh.

Wherever the golden torrent passed, all the strange beasts were annihilated.

With their bodies and souls, they carved out a blood-red road in this canyon of despair, leading to the root of all tragedy.

The light grew dimmer, and the figures of the veterans faded into the distance.

The golden road was completely paved until the last veteran turned into a speck of light and disappeared into the air.

Su Qing stood there, her eyes red-rimmed.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to let the tears fall.

He suddenly drew his Otto Clair from his waist.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shone from the originally dull blade!

The system notifications were flashing frantically, but Su Qing had no interest in paying attention.

He raised his longsword high, its blade pointing directly at the mother body that was still frantically producing soldiers.

Su Qing stared intently ahead.

"The Third Cavalry Regiment..."

","charge!!!"
