[Tactical communication activated. But why does this place look like a prisoner transfer area? Could this large area be a prison?] M4 established an internal team voice chat.
"Then you underestimate this world's fear of the undead. Okay, go ahead, load all the armor-piercing bullets, and...AK15, don't you want to challenge a strong enemy? It's your turn!" Sun Yang opened the base window and just saw the figure of AK15.
She was eating two grilled fish.
37 Strider Boss Dog Me
"Ready to act!" AK15 threw the half-eaten grilled fish back onto the plate as if she had done something wrong. However, she always had a bunch of equipment hanging on her body.
"It's okay. Eat first. Call your teammates over in ten minutes. We're going to be dealing with a lot of Curse-Binders this time, and I intend to take them down as completely as possible. AI, do you have any quick-drying foam or glue bullets in the base?"
If possible, Sun Yang still hoped to preserve the overall structure of these powerful puppets as much as possible. The metal on them was actually reinforced with wedge-shaped stone powder. Even for the sake of the powder, he had to avoid the bombardment of the humanoids.
Soon, the AI reported on this type of restrictive glue grenade. It's basically a grenade that explodes after being fired, covering the surrounding area with a strong glue, preventing movement and making it extremely dangerous for humans to use.
There's also something called Riot Foam, which is designed to catch Sangvishes. It comes in a hand-thrown canister version that explodes and sprays a cloud of sticky foam that can stop even human-sized units in their tracks.
Basically, this thing can only be used to catch enemies that are not too big or too fast. Currently, Griffin has never encountered such enemies, so it has been collecting dust in the warehouse. Now, it has come in handy.
"Do you want to capture that kind of enemy alive?" AK15 said after finishing the grilled fish and wiping his mouth clean.
She had seen the video footage of humanoids confronting the Cursed Binders head-on; their defense, capable of withstanding rocket launchers and heavy machine gun armor-piercing rounds, was truly astonishing. To defeat them, she would need to prepare the necessary firepower.
The glue grenades are good, but they require the person to be completely immersed in the gel from head to toe. And the foam, I don't think it's very effective.
As soon as Sun Yang heard that the riot bubble was meant to catch Iron Blood, he knew it. Isn't that what the front-row characters spray in Iron Blood's capture animation? No wonder there's only a 25% chance of catching the boss; now it fits the premise.
"Sorry, I'm not capturing him alive. You should know that the Cursebinder is soul-driven. Just break the soul-driven rune on his back. I want the material from this big piece of iron. Can you do it?"
That is to restrict the enemy's movement, go around and penetrate the armor, which is easier to do. AK15 does not mind methods that can easily defeat the enemy. As long as the enemy can be defeated, any method will do.
"Got it. I'll get ready quickly." AK15 said and hung up the communication. AK15 in the window base hurried.
Sun Yang let the AI and the humanoids in the base handle their own affairs, and at the same time informed the humanoids to prepare for battle. He led the group of people around him down the dock and into the cave.
This cave itself served the purpose of transporting prisoners. Deeper into the cave, one could see a dozen or so zombie pirates sleeping nearby. These pirates were likely the few who remained here and became undead. In the center of the cave stood a massive elevator, shaped like a large, square cage.
There was nothing more to say. The humanoids immediately shot and killed the men. Sun Yang and the humanoids immediately stood on the elevator. The elevator climbed smoothly upwards.
The elevator reached the top and arrived at a passage-like area, with various cells on both sides. Some of them were broken, while some were intact, with completely immobile undead and skeletons inside.
Relying on his memory, Sun Yang found a campfire in a prison. He hurried over and sat down. The power of the fire immediately filled his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Although the Forgotten Cage is not a small place, Sun Yang has already listed a few points that need attention based on his memory.
As for enemies, they are mainly sorcerers and kingdom swordsmen. They are not to be feared and can be killed directly.
There's also a creature covered in chains, which Sun Yang calls "Pupu Brother." It can inexplicably send shockwaves at close range that can injure people. If you encounter one, deal with it first.
The main trouble is the Curse Binder that you never know when it will appear. If you encounter one, just use gel grenades to trap it, and then find an opportunity to destroy the enchanted pattern on its back.
There are three powerful enemies: the Dazed Guard, the Gargoyle Cluster, and the Forgotten Sinner. There is also a Strider and a Blacksmith named Madoff. Be careful not to kill them.
The regions are divided into three places: the Forgotten Cage, the Moon Clock Tower, and the Sinner's Tower. You can conquer them in order.
Actual results may vary, so proceed with caution.
"Commander, where did you get this information?" M4 couldn't help but ask. They hadn't even done any reconnaissance yet.
"I can ask. And my head is filled with a lot of strange knowledge." Sun Yang nodded his head.
"Ha, what on earth did my original body do to my commander?" M4 hugged the commander to his chest. Warm and soft suffocation filled Sun Yang's head.
"Ahem, ahem, M4, be serious." AR15 coughed twice. Only then did M4 let go of Sun Yang.
"That's it anyway. We won't split up this time. I'll summon more people and we'll keep our distance from each other. Don't use the puppets, there's a lot of close combat here, and too many puppets will affect each other."
After Sun Yang finished explaining the precautions, he opened the base window. The armed humanoids were ready, each armed with a considerable number of gel grenades and riot foam.
"Okay, I hope this place can bring me some different feelings." Sun Yang said, shaking his holy bell to summon the humanoids.
The Forgotten Cage, once a place where countless undead were imprisoned. A considerable number of persecuted sorcerers were also transported here, and even today, some still active sorcerers operate around.
This place was usually quiet, with the Kingdom's soldiers and others simply standing still or wandering around. But now, a distant rumbling sound was gradually approaching.
"Yeah! Kill, kill, kill!" Sun Yang, holding a machine gun, rushed across the broken bridge with the humanoids. The tall and complex structure of the building, the sound of gunfire and shouting attracted the surrounding enemies to run towards this side. But no matter what enemy was in front of them, they would be overwhelmed by the storm of bullets.
If you encounter a difficult place to cross, you can simply use building materials to build a simple bridge. The only thing that stands in your way is the Curse Bound that floats out from the ground.
But the humanoids in front fired a barrage of glue grenades, and the humanoids behind threw an overdose of riot foam, completely stopping the Curse-Binder in his tracks in seconds. The sprayed gel completely immobilized the ferocious iron golem.
At the back, five figures wearing industrial exoskeletons and carrying cutting tools went around behind the Cursed One, holding powerful drills and drilling a hole in the back.
At first, the Cursed One tried to struggle desperately, but the industrial exoskeletons operated by the other humanoids were no pushovers. These powerful exoskeletons were specially designed to carry extremely heavy cargo, and their output far exceeded that of ordinary humanoids.
The hydraulic clamps on the exoskeleton immediately grabbed the Curse Binder's wrists, and two humanoids on each side firmly suppressed the Curse Binder's movements. The gel beneath them quickly solidified as time passed.
Sun Yang first took his troops to deal with other places. Every time he encountered a Curse Binder, Sun Yang sent out an engineering team behind him to directly cut off the Curse Binder's energy source.
Surprisingly, after the paralyzed Cursebinder was transported to the Oasis Base, they unexpectedly found a Radiant Wedgestone. This was a very special material stone, presumably used to provide additional effects to the Cursebinder. Sun Yang accepted all of it without hesitation.
This operation was carried out at a breakneck speed. Even for a place known as the Prisoner Country, its size and size wouldn't be exaggerated. The complex roads were not difficult to navigate with the drone's reconnaissance.
There wasn't much to say about Madoff's workshop; it was just a distraught old blacksmith selling a bunch of random stuff. But for some reason, he had a large stock of wedgestones. Sun Yang made a note of this and would buy some from the blacksmith later when he had more souls.
Running between the cold buildings and stone walls, Sun Yang and the figures scurried through the interior of the building. Along the way, they encountered an area guarded by confused guards. However, after being hit by a combination of gel grenades and riot foam, this target was quickly reduced to the stored wedge stone powder.
While searching for things around, there were good things like element fragments, as well as other supplies and so on.
After fighting all the way, Sun Yang found the Moon Bell Tower, which was in a very hidden location.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a short-armed, short-limbed dwarf soldier sitting there, talking nonsense. This soldier was made using puppet technology, and was made in the same technical base as the turtle soldiers. This kind of soldier was called a bell guard.
Sun Yang was initially interested and wanted to discuss it. But it was too noisy. As soon as he entered, he heard "The undead are coming! The undead are coming!" "You are not allowed to enter the Yaken Bell!" "You disobedient fellow! My companions and I will punish you severely!"
Memories of the past immediately flooded into his mind. The sarcastic tone, the noisy movement, and the extremely direct ridicule directly ignited Sun Yang's anger.
This thing in the game kept barking, and afterward, it even asked if it could sign a pact. Sun Yang would only sign it once it was done, but he would always kill it when they met.
So he simply grabbed the puppet's feet, lifted it up and smashed it to the ground. At first, the puppet would scream miserably a few times, but after Sun Yang hit it many times, all it could do was groan in pain.
Damn it, I've been fed up with you for a long time. So noisy! So much nonsense! And you even want to sign a fucking oath? Sign your head! You princesses and princes can only build a hammer, a war machine, a starfish, and a little puppet, yet you're talking so much nonsense.
If the princess were still alive, Sun Yang would have gone to find her and slapped her twice. There was no reason, he just felt bad.
After venting his anger, Sun Yang decided to throw the puppet back into the base to see what he could research. Such a small thing would definitely cause damage, so he decided to dismantle its arms and legs first.
The humanoids around didn't seem to have any objections. They had beaten up all sorts of things, killed both the pretty and the ugly, so they wouldn't have any opinions about a meaningless little puppet.
Amid the puppet's screams, Sun Yang ripped off the arms and legs of Zhong Wei, leaving only the torso and head, and sent them into the base. However, they were unable to get in.
"Well, it can't be thrown into the base. It really has something to do with the soul." When Sun Yang wanted to throw it into the base, he felt a sense of obstruction. This feeling was the same as when he tried to pull the humanoid out.
So Sun Yang pulled out his dagger and stabbed the puppet in the back, completely halting its movements. A few souls drifted into Sun Yang's body, and the puppet and its remains were successfully thrown into the recycling yard.
"It seems that RO is right. This country only makes war machines, and the quality of the talking puppets it produces is too poor." M4 said as he looked at the wreckage of Zhong Wei recovered by Sun Yang.
"It may have fallen into disrepair. Okay, let's finish exploring this bell tower." Sun Yang led everyone to start searching.
The bell tower wasn't very large; in fact, it might have been built next to a church. Sun Yang knew a little about the relationship between the princess and the prince; it was a secret love affair, far apart but missing each other deeply.
This secret man and woman would ring the bell whenever they thought of each other. There was a church around them, so no one would bother them. They just rang the bell.
Sun Yang, who had no intention of investigating local history, killed all the bell guards along the way and handed them over to the Oasis Research Department for research. After all, the more material, the better. Many of the researchers at the Oasis were almost bored out of their minds, so Sun Yang just threw a bunch of strange and bizarre things over to the research dolls to tinker with.
However, Sun Yang did not climb to the roof. He first asked the humanoids to remove the iron fence blocking the way on the second floor and walked to the roof of the cathedral. There were many gargoyles on both sides of the roof. This kind of war weapon was much more beautiful than Zhong Wei.
Sun Yang tried to move the puppets, but he too felt blocked. The gargoyles held souls sealed within, awaiting the command to activate. Sun Yang had no choice but to have the engineering team carefully drill holes in various locations, destroying the internal structure, and then hand them over to Sun Yang for transport back to base.
After all the gargoyles were moved away, Sun Yang left one behind, aimed the scanner at it, and asked the humanoid upstairs to pull the switch.
The gargoyle immediately sprang to life. Meanwhile, the research team on the other side of the scanner immediately identified the circuit switch. The principle was simple. Sun Yang blasted the gargoyle to pieces with a single shot of his Sunlight Gun, cleaned up the remains, and departed.
Afterwards, Sun Yang led his humanoids to sweep the area for two days, basically covering the entire area except for the distant Sinner Tower. However, Sun Yang did not head towards the Sinner Tower, but instead used his drone to carefully inspect all areas.
Finally, Sun Yang discovered a humanoid stone statue in a building next to the bridge connecting to the Tower of Sinners. Near the statue were several other Poop-Pop-Brothers and a campfire. Sun Yang hurried over and immediately recognized the statue from its appearance: it was the boss he had been searching for, Strider.
There is nothing much to say. After Sun Yang killed the surrounding Pupu brothers, he immediately used the Nostalgic Incense Wood he had accumulated to release Strade from petrification.
A layer of dust drifted over the stone statue, and only then did Sun Yang get a clear look at the mage's attire. He wore a simple yet exquisitely crafted black robe, and a metal mask hidden under his cloak, covering the upper half of his face. The overall look gave off an odd aura.
After regaining consciousness, the mage saw Sun Yang and several humanoid figures following behind him. He didn't show much surprise, but just hummed a laugh, walked out of the cage, and gently moved his body.
"Hehe... your body seems a little stiff. Hahahahaha... at least let me say thank you, young puppeteer." Strade moved his body, and he took out a uniquely shaped staff from behind him like a magic trick.
There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version
"Calm down." Sun Yang made a prediction and told the humanoids not to raise their weapons in advance.
"It's been a long time since I saw such a polite person. My name is Strade, just think of me as a wandering magician. However, I have been here for a long time, maybe it's time to change my name, hehe..." Strade touched his chin and looked Sun Yang up and down.
"You can just call me Sun Yang. I think..." Sun Yang was interrupted by Strade just as he was considering his words.
"Well, very good, very good, you have talent. Weak undead, I, Strider, will teach you magic, if you are willing to learn. In addition, I sense abundant soul power in you. If you still have some powerful soul, I can also refine it into special weapons and spells for you. Just consider it my intention to repay the favor of saving my life."
Strider's voice sounded somewhat condescending.
However, Sun Yang didn't react at all. Strade was a man who really taught him everything. He was also very capable. He was many times better than those who would not give him anything if he didn't sign an oath.
"Of course, I have to learn that. Besides magic, there are other things I want Qing to teach me." Sun Yang was very happy.
"But before we start studying, you have to tell me what happened in this place. Oh, I've been trapped in the stone statue for too long. Looking at the surroundings, that country should no longer exist. It seems I overslept." Strade leaned against the iron railing with his arms folded.
"Well, this place used to be called Dolan Gureg. Now, Dolan Gureg can no longer be maintained and is deserted everywhere. Only a few undead come here to find their own answers." Sun Yang told this to the old wizard in front of him.
"Dolan Gureg? I've never heard of that name. This place is called this now. Ha, that's not bad. This place was once where the cursed were sealed, like you. Well, let me, an old man, tell you the story of the past."
"Hmm... In the old days, people feared curses like the plague and were wary of the cursed. In order to turn a blind eye, out of sight, out of mind, they imprisoned them here. Isn't that the thinking of the weak?"
"Before, the people of this country knew their own weakness. That's why they sent many people here and locked them up, some cursed, some not. They wanted to destroy anything that threatened them... otherwise, they couldn't sleep. And for daring to say that, I, Strider, was turned into stone and sent here. Hehehehahaha."
"In the era before Dolan Gureg, there seemed to be many more nations. Nations rose one after another, but all declined. Just like a fire that ignites and then dies out, the cycle repeats itself. However, the extinguished fire would soon be rekindled, and the nation would prosper again, but with a different appearance."
"All of this is a curse. It's the legacy passed down by cursed people like you, hahahaha..."
Did this guy even understand the fire transmission system so clearly? I was shocked. I could only say that he was indeed an old wizard who had existed for a very long time. Many ancient things were just things that happened in the past to him.
"If you're talking about passing on the fire, I probably know a little bit about it. Anyway, I'm not going to do it," Sun Yang shrugged. "Whoever wants to pass it on can do it. Anyway, I won't pass it on. It won't be over if I'm missing."
"It doesn't matter. There will always be someone to continue this world. Okay, Sun Yang, the old man has finished his chatter, tell me what you want." After talking a lot, Strade finally finished talking.
"Sorry, I will come back to learn your magic later. Now there is something very important." Sun Yang opened the window and saw Pascal doing the final finishing work.
"Haha! Is my magic too heavy for you?" Strade laughed.
"No, no, no, Pascal, are you ready?" Sun Yang said to Pascal in the base.
"Hey, what are you talking to yourself about? Ah, communicating with the puppets? That's what happens when you're alone for too long. And right, how could such a detailed puppet be made without a lot of effort?" Strider wasn't surprised at all. He completely ignored the group of puppets standing behind Sun Yang. After all, puppets ultimately obey their masters.
For example, if someone bought five or six stuffed animals and carried them around, and someone saw them talking to them, at most they would think they had a mental problem. But if a passerby went and talked to the stuffed animals, that would seem strange and hard not to be considered a psychopath.
[I'm ready, Professor!] Pascal saluted Sun Yang.
So Sun Yang shook the bell on the spot, and Pascal appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"Oh? The technology to summon puppets? Incredible, this era has also made unique progress. It's really impressive, young puppeteer." Strade acted as if the young man was demonstrating in front of him. This was normal. He had seen many wizards who wanted to show off.
There was no need to be stingy with praise at a time like this; a job well done was a job well done, and a new thing was a new thing. So, Stride applauded Sun Yang to express his congratulations.
Sun Yang looked at Strade in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this old wizard. However, from his experience, this wizard was not the type to beat people to death at will.
"This is my chief scientist, Pascal, and this is Strider, an ancient wise man and a powerful wizard. I don't understand what you're talking about, you can talk to him. I'll leave a small team behind to protect you, and the rest of you can continue with me."
Sun Yang picked up his weapon, ready to complete the exploration of the Forgotten Prison while Pascal and Strade were working on the cross-time and space project.
As Strade watched Sun Yang's actions, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It seems that he is a puppeteer with a mental problem. His personality is split into several parts, each responsible for a different task. And this puppeteer has somehow disassembled his different personalities and transferred them to several of the puppets, leaving only his original personality.
What a reckless puppeteer! Whatever, he was just imparting knowledge, so it didn't matter to anyone. Strade was open-minded; as long as it involved research and exchange, he was open to anything.
"Hello, Mr. Strade. I have some questions about crossing the world barrier." Pascal said straight to the point.
This was the first question he asked. Strider almost couldn't hold back his inscrutable, slightly crazed old man persona. But only a question like this could trouble this eccentric puppeteer, whose brain had split into several separate personalities.
"Very good, very good. Then let's get started. We need..." Strider and Pascal sat on the ground and began to talk about something that no one could understand. The humanoids who were left behind soon showed expressions of wisdom.
Sun Yang had already gone down the stairs. He wanted to clear the Tower of Sinners and defeat the giant inside.
