I, Viego, conquer Terra!

Chapter 19 Enemy Attack!!

The next morning, Hedley, W, and Inès' teams set out on their journeys.

Viego is still in Ines' team, just behind Ines.

——This makes him seem like Inès’s “adjutant”.

There was a rumbling sound of machinery in the distance, and at the end of the wilderness horizon there were several small black dots moving around - that was Hedley's team.

The mercenary group's formation was dispersed, several kilometers apart, forming a very narrow inverted triangle on the map. Inès and W were the two closely spaced corners on the top, Hedley was the farthest center corner on the bottom, and the employer was surrounded in the middle of the three teams.

Of course, there would be other teams guarding the employer, but Hedley's mercenary group was the outermost team and also the first team to come into contact with the enemy.

"Be alert, Viego." A cold female voice came from the front. "Don't look around. An attack could happen at any time."

"I'm just a little confused." Viego recalled the mercenary team that set out on the march in silence, and whispered, "Are all the mercenaries here like this?"

Hedley had been emphasizing the danger of this operation, and even estimated that the casualties of the mercenary group would reach more than 60% after the operation was completed - he had informed everyone in the mercenary group of these before the operation started.

But no mercenary chose to withdraw. The Sarkaz simply gathered their troops in silence and set off on the journey according to the planned formation.

Not even a word of objection.

It was difficult for Viego to understand this...highly unified spiritual temperament.

"If you don't fight, you'll die, and it'll be even more embarrassing." Ines said calmly, glancing at Viego: "Kazdel - no, this land has always been like this. After this is over, maybe you'll understand."

If, you can still survive.

The next moment, Ines suddenly raised her head, with a faint light flickering in her golden eyes.

"There is a large enemy team approaching from the west. Magicians, line up and prepare to defend against the enemy magician team's attack. Spread the formation, and the messenger will notify W's team to get ready."

There was a response from the team behind him, and the mercenaries behind him quickly dispersed.

Inès glanced at Viego beside her. "I hope you can survive, Viego... although it would be better if you died."

"You are such a contradictory person." Viego laughed. "Then I wish you can survive, Captain Ines."

"Humph..."

Inès snorted in an ambiguous tone and looked towards the west.

There is a dense jungle over there.

Inès could already see shadowy figures moving out from among them and heading towards their team.

The two sides were only a few hundred meters apart.

A whistling sound was heard, and a huge fireball appeared in the sky and smashed towards the team, and then was resolved by the team's own magician using Originium skills.

Explosives like artillery shells were thrown from the woods, creating explosions and smoke around the team, and loud rumbling sounds were heard incessantly.

The team had dispersed and each team was fighting on their own. Judging from the orders Ines had given earlier, she had done this on purpose.

——In order to prevent the enemy’s explosives and high-powered spells from causing too much damage?

The fireball turned into sparks and fell down, and the enemy's vanguard had already arrived.

Viego took a deep breath and drew out the long sword behind him.

"Follow me closely." Ines glanced at him. "You are a newcomer, so you don't have to cooperate with the team's actions. Pay attention to my position and follow me closely, but don't get too close to me."

"Okay." Viego nodded, feeling the Curse of Ruin in his body gradually becoming active.

It was like a heart beating faster, or like adrenaline rushing through my body due to the war scene before my eyes.

It seemed to be excited about the upcoming killing and growth.

The memories from the Ruined King flooded into Viego's mind, so that he was not at all panicked even though he was on such a large-scale battlefield for the first time.

Viego laughed: "Am I considered bait?"

Inès was satisfied with Viego's performance; it seemed that he at least did not exaggerate his combat experience.

A thin layer of shadow gradually enveloped her body, making her inconspicuous in the dim sky, and her figure disappeared on the battlefield.

A cold voice sounded in his ears: "If you are willing to describe your existence in such an unpleasant way - then, yes."

"Don't worry, I don't mind." The induction of the fragments in Ines' body by the Curse of Ruin allowed Viego to detect Ines' existence. He looked at the three-person team rushing towards him and went up to them with a knife in hand.

There were three Sarkaz dressed as mercenaries, with a crossbowman at the end and two knife-wielding warriors in the front.

Viego caught the crossbowman's hand-raising action in advance and reacted in advance.

The crossbow arrow flew through the air, landed beside him, and penetrated deeply into the ground.

Viego faced the two warriors, the long sword in his hand covered with a thin black mist that was invisible to the naked eye.

He leaned sideways to avoid the sword slashing from the warrior on his left, and the long sword of the warrior on his right slashed at his waist and abdomen.

Viego didn't care at all, he raised his knife and chopped, trading injury for injury!

The enemy's long knife slashed across his waist, but no blood flew out.

Viego's long sword pierced his neck, and bright red blood spurted out.

The two warriors widened their eyes. The one on the right had already fallen down. The one on the left reacted quickly and raised his knife, wanting to chop off Viego's head while he was about to draw his knife!

"Haha!" Viego grinned and directly released the long knife that was stuck in the enemy's neck. The black mist in his hand condensed and turned into a sharp long needle, which pierced into the enemy's body on the left before the long knife fell on his neck.

Sarkaz's face turned pale in the blink of an eye, and he fell on his back without a sound.

The long knife that fell from his hand was caught by Viego, and the hideous knife wound on his waist had disappeared without a trace.

As long as the Curse of Ruin remains, Viego will never die.

The white-haired man raised his head and looked at Ines who had already dealt with the crossbowman behind him.

Inès glanced at him and disappeared into the shadows.

She became more and more wary of Viego. She had seen how Viego fought with the two mercenaries just now.

Viego was injured, but he didn't show any sign of pain. The knife had already cut through his body, so it couldn't be just a shallow wound, but not even a single bleed came out.

This man...is hiding a big secret.

With her preconceived notions, Inès became more and more certain that Viego was involved in the crazy experiments of those Leitanian magicians.

She had also heard that there were many crazy and paranoid Leitanian magicians who would directly use their own bodies for experiments.

Viego...maybe one of them.

boom--! !

The explosion occurs in the enemy's ranks.

Viego looked up to the east - that was the direction where W's team was.

"W support is coming."

"Hmm." Inès' voice sounded in his ears.

"Go back and find her. It's time to assemble the team and launch a counterattack."

Chapter 20: Sarkaz are never afraid of death

Viego and Ines walked towards the east where the sound of explosions continued, and annihilated several scattered enemy teams along the way.

It was Viego who faced the knife-wielding warrior head-on again, while Ines hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill the shooter behind him.

The curse of destruction in Viego's body also grew stronger in the process.

Although his desperate berserker style of fighting by exchanging injuries for injuries will cause Curse of Ruin to consume power to repair its body, the life essence gained from killing enemies can feed back to Curse of Ruin more, making the income greater than the expenditure.

——Part of the reason is that the enemies basically all hold long swords and cannot cause large-area wounds on Viego's body, which does not consume too much energy to repair.

Heavy cold weapons such as sledgehammers seem to be rarely seen on the battlefield of the Sarkaz mercenaries.

This world is really weird. High-powered weapons like grenades have been mentioned, but in such a large battlefield, there isn't even a single gunpowder weapon to be seen.

If Viego had not seen W's grenade launcher, he might really doubt that there was no such thing as guns in this world.

I always feel that the technology tree in the other world is a bit twisted...

Viego stepped on the body of the Sarkaz mercenary and struggled to pull the long knife out of his neck.

The Curse of Ruin in his body became more and more agitated, and even the memories of the King of Ruin became active in his mind.

Viego actually missed the Ruined King's Sword in his memory that would not be stuck by human bones.

I don't know if there will still be percentage damage if the Ruined King is put into the real world... or does the so-called percentage damage refer to the erosion of the black fog?

Viego lowered his head and glanced at the inverted triangle hole on his chest through his clothes.

There was always a sense that something was building up there, like that feeling you get when you’re about to peak at O—Viego was referring to the feeling you get when you shake a soda bottle and twist the cap off it.

If I kill a few more people, won’t something strange come out of my body?

While thinking, Viego also saw W, who was holding a grenade "gun"... a howitzer? He was laughing wildly and bombarding wildly.

"I'll go gather the team first. Don't die, Viego. You're still useful to the team." Ines's cold voice sounded, and Viego watched the imperceptible shadow go to W's side.

"...Is this woman really a tsundere?" Viego turned around and chopped down the enemy mercenary who attacked his waist from behind: "Don't hit people in the face, don't stab them in the kidneys, don't you know how to be polite?"

Ines was very fast. Without having to slow down to take care of Viego, she reached a few hundred meters away in just a few seconds and appeared next to W.

"Assemble the team, the enemy has been fully exposed, you can try to counterattack."

"Okay... Captain Inès has the final say." W temporarily stopped his aggressive behavior and gestured to the bugler and messenger behind him.

"Woo--" A deep and powerful trumpet sound resounded throughout the battlefield the next second.

Viego pulled the knife out of the enemy's body, feeling the essence of life brought back into his body by the black mist, his face filled with relief.

Lasting soldiers is a boring process, but if you are playing as a dog head, every time you last a soldier, you will feel a little more joy of harvest.

This is what Viego is like at this moment.

He could clearly sense the growth of the Curse of Ruin. The curse stirring in his body made him a little excited, and he was no longer so resistant to the memories of the King of Ruin in his mind.

The tyranny that came from the tyrant, the Ruined King, who slaughtered countless lives without any wavering, also flooded into Viego's heart along with the Ruined King's memories.

The memories from the Ruined King will allow him to make better use of the Curse of Ruin and the Black Mist, so he can kill more enemies, gain stronger power, and save Yi...!

wrong!

Viego covered his forehead with his hands with a snap, and his handsome face looked a little hideous and distorted.

Isolde, you are my savior, get out of here with your stubbornness!

I haven't been a bootlicker for many years, don't even think about pulling me back into the bootlicker group!!

The next moment, a loud explosion in front interrupted Viego's thoughts.

boom--! ! !

The ground was shaking violently. Viego raised his head and looked at the place where the huge cloud of dust was rising.

It turned out that there was a team of powerful enemy magicians hiding and had not taken any action.

Their target was the commander of the mercenary team.

That is...

W and, Inès.

The powerful Originium technique covered their location, burying the messenger and the trumpeter in the dust.

The dispersed queue command, which was originally used to delay the enemy's battle results and wait for teammates' support, has now become the most deadly death warrant.

When the smoke cleared, W and Inès were nowhere to be seen.

The commander has lost contact, and the teams are leaderless. The hidden magician team is bombarding and killing all the mercenary teams that come into view!

The team was completely disbanded.

More enemies appeared, enemy reinforcements that were completely hidden from Inès's perception.

This time, the enemy has complete intelligence on several high-ranking members of the mercenary group.

Viego stared at the smoke and his thoughts froze for a moment.

The next second, his eyes were covered by a huge flame.

boom--! !
