MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 363 Rebels
Chapter 363 Rebel Army
Luke knew very well that killing the ice cave agent who investigated him would not free him from suspicion. It's just that Enoch is a big trouble, that guy's nose is as sensitive as a dog, and the facts have proved the rightness to get rid of him.
Now, because of the death of a team of Ice Cave agents, the monitoring agents had to evacuate. Luke needs to use this window to make some arrangements.
"I don't know when the follow-up monitoring will be arranged... It's a pity that the preparation of the secret technique has just been completed halfway. Only by retaining a legal identity can we ensure the rapid completion of the ceremony."
Luke rode a summoned stone wolf forward along the dark tunnel, and there was a guide light floating less than ten meters in front of him, illuminating his way forward.
The underground world has been developed by Dongdu for more than a hundred years, and the tunnels in use and abandoned have turned it into a complex underground labyrinth. There are all kinds of traps and dangerous underground creatures here, and even people in the underground steam city dare not explore deeply.
Mina's father took the rebels and hid in the tunnel maze, only to escape the pursuit of the company's security team and ice cave agents.
Now Luke needs to find them.
The spiritual ball transferred from the clear sky revolves around Luke. It was given an execution order to automatically use mental attacks, so in this secluded and dark tunnel, there would be the screams of some kind of animal being attacked from time to time.
Luke, riding a stone wolf, holds a compass made of green light in his hand.
This is the tracking secret technique that Luke quietly released on Mina, thinking that he could find her quickly just in case, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.
Luke opened the winter dungeon maze map drawn by the player in the mobile phone in his consciousness. Through multi-point positioning, he has roughly determined the location of Mina.
There is an underground pool there, which is a rare supply and resting place.
After confirming that Mina was not moving, Luke put away the compass and drove the guide lights to speed up. The stone wolf who was sitting down also started to run.
…
Underground pool camp.
Several simple tents were built around a bonfire, and a group of people in miners' costumes sat beside the bonfire. They were eating freshly baked food, drinking underground water, and discussing something in a low voice.
Mina changed the medicines for the injured. She was wearing new clothes that had just been bought not too long ago, and the immature face was covered with gray stains, which made her look a lot more mature.
Soon the medicine and gauze in her hands ran out.
Mina came to her father: "Father, the wound medicine we brought out is exhausted."
Lazild said to Mina with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, your Uncle Farlian is looking for medicine and food, and he will be back soon."
"Okay father, I'll take care of the children who came with me."
"Mina..."
"What's the matter? Father."
Lazild said apologetically, "I'm sorry for involving you. Don't worry, we will find a way to send you children away from Winter Capital to a safe place."
"Aren't you going with us?"
Lazird looked at the miners who followed him against the company, and said to Mina: "No, we want to take back what belongs to us, and we want to create a homeland that belongs to you.
We need to fight for you and your children. "
"But...you will die!" Mina couldn't help crying.
Lazild touched his legs, which were a pair of mechanical prosthetic limbs.
"If only relying on that meager salary, I will always lie in bed, so that you have to go out to earn money to support your family, what is the difference between that and death?
do you know?
It is difficult for underground miners to live to the age of forty, and there are always various accidents that take our lives. Every time you enter the mine, it's a gamble, why don't we gamble our lives for ourselves!
Look at them, are they afraid to die? "
Mina looked at the miners who came out with her father. Although they were embarrassed, they were much more energetic than when they were working in the mining area, as if they had found the meaning of their existence.
"Let me stay here too. I am grown up and can do many things... I am not afraid of death."
"If you stay, my battle will be meaningless. And we have to keep moving in the tunnel maze, you will drag us down."
Mina was silent, her heart was very hesitant, and she couldn't help but think of Luke.
"I, I didn't even say goodbye to Mr. Luke..."
"Mr. Luke is a respectable person. Saying goodbye to him will hurt him. Have you ever told others that he is Mr. Bai Ye..."
Mina immediately replied: "No, Father!"
"Very good! Go and rest, we will leave here in an hour."
Just as Mina stood up to go to rest, there was a commotion outside the camp.
Lazild immediately grabbed the mining pick at hand, protected Mina behind her, and then asked loudly to the guards outside: "What happened?"
No response!
Could it be that the company's security team and people from the ice cave found this place?
A sense of crisis enveloped the entire camp.
The miners picked up the weapons at hand, and some people rushed to the mining machinery, skillfully launching the steam machinery that was even bigger than the war machinery.
A bright light illuminated the small camp, and a figure slowly walked towards the camp in the middle of the light. He was wearing a crisp trench coat and a hood, and the bright light came from a ball of light hanging above his head.
A mage.
The miners became more nervous, looking at Lazild one by one, waiting for him to issue an attack order.
At this time, the light of the photosphere is rapidly weakened.
The person approached and said: "Sorry, my magic ball automatically attacked your sentry post. Fortunately, it was just a mental attack. The poor guy will wake up after a while..."
Before the visitor finished speaking, Mina poked her head out from behind her father.
She had already recognized Luke's voice, but when she was about to call out, Luke made a silent gesture.
Mina immediately stopped calling out her name. She tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered, "It's Mr. Luke."
Mr. Luke!
Lazild looked at the visitor suspiciously, thinking: How did he find this place?
It is inappropriate to reveal Mr. Luke's identity now, after all, many people have seen him in the B36 mining area.
"Everyone, don't panic, this is Mr. Bai Ye."
Hearing that the person who came was Mr. Bai Ye, everyone immediately put down their guard and showed reverence.
They were all awakened by what Mr. Bai Ye said, and in order not to live and die in ignorance, they embarked on the road of confrontation with the ruling layer of Dongdu.
Lazild sent more people to set up a farther sentry post, and then welcomed Luke into a tent.
Sit down on the rock, Mina brought Luke a glass of water, and couldn't help but choked up again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luke, I can no longer fulfill the employment agreement."
Seeing that there were only Mina and his daughter in the tent, Luke lifted his hood and said to Mina, "The employment agreement is a small matter. I am relieved to see that you are safe."
Lazield saluted and apologized to Luke: "I sincerely apologize to you, Mr. Luke, I have embezzled your name for selfish purposes."
Luke looked at Lazild and saw Mina's smile disappear: "The agents of the Ice Cave found me last night, and you did bring me great danger.
Mr. Bai Ye...
You really know how to name. "
Mina whispered in shame: "Yes, I named it. My father said that you can't tell your real name to the outside world..."
"This is why we still meet."
"I'm sorry..." Lazild said: "We didn't expect to get things to such an extent. Some people went too far and killed both the supervisor and the supervisor."
Luke said: "Yeah, none of us thought...some of my casual words could cause such a big incident."
"The wisdom you reveal unintentionally is the truth that illuminates the fog in our hearts."
Luke said helplessly: "Well, since the matter has already happened, there is no point in pursuing it.
This is your rebel army? "
When Luke walked into the camp, he roughly understood the configuration of the rebel army. The weapons are basically tools for mining, with three steam-powered mining machines.
And there are family members who escaped with them in the camp, including women and children.
Fearful of being underestimated, Lazield said: "We have fewer people, but we have brought out some money and gold.
I plan to send non-combatants out of Winter Capital through underground channels, and then use the money in my hand to transform the remaining fighters.
Throughout the underground mine, there are many people who support us. With their internal support, we can raid weakly defended places through potholes and mazes, and rob them of weapons and money.
Then expand the staff step by step. "
Support war with war.
The intricate labyrinth network of the underground mining area is indeed a good place for guerrilla warfare. Lazild has a clear mind, understands his own weaknesses and strengths, and can pull out such a team in adversity. He is really an excellent leader who was almost buried by mining.
Luke took out a tube of reagents: "It's the first time we meet, I'll give you this as a gift."
Lazild took the reagent with both hands, and there was a mysterious purple halo in Lan Yingying's reagent.
"what is this?"
"This is a second-generation mysterious substance mixture unique to the lower city of Saint Lun City, which can allow ordinary people to obtain extraordinary power."
Hearing that this is a potion that can give people extraordinary power, Lazild couldn't help shaking his hands with excitement.
These bottom-level miners have no chance of contacting extraordinary power at all. All they can rely on is the brute force and a small amount of steam machinery acquired through long-term mining. Therefore, facing the company's security team and ice cave agents, they could only run away.
Now in the hands of a potion that can allow ordinary people to obtain extraordinary power, it means that the survivability of the rebel army will be greatly improved.
"This, this must be very valuable!"
"Of course it is very expensive. The value of this tube of reagents is no less than 400 gold coupons."
Hearing that the price of this tube of reagents is equivalent to more than two million Att coins, Lazierd gripped even tighter with both hands, for fear of accidentally falling to the ground and breaking it.
"This is money that I will never earn in my life, and it is not a small amount for you. Mr. Luke, it is too expensive, and I cannot accept it."
Lazield returns the reagents.
Luke did not answer: "I like Mina very much, she is a kind and smart child, I don't want her to lose her father prematurely.
Take it, you need it more than I do. "
Lazird looked at Mina and took the reagent back: "It is Mina's luck to meet you."
Mina knew what this tube of reagent meant to her father, she saluted Luke: "Thank you, Mr. Luke. I don't know how to repay you..."
"Our meeting may be arranged by the gods. If you need to repay, I think the gods will continue to arrange it." Luke said to Razield again: "I believe you have already doubted my true identity if I can send this potion." .”
Lazild asked: "Are you... a secret agent of the Golden Shield Empire?"
Luke said: "I am a secret agent of the Golden Shield Empire, mainly serving Rage City. Although what you did was unexpected and even disrupted the mission I was performing, it may not be a good thing for the Empire.
Need our help? "
Lazield was silent, and the reagent in his hand became extremely heavy.
If you accept the help of the secret agents of the Golden Shield Empire, you will be a traitor to the Art County United; if you don’t accept... this tube of reagents is the first funding and the last.
"Mr. Luke, I am very surprised by your identity; your question is difficult for me to answer."
Luke said with a smile: "identity makes it difficult for you to make a choice, I can understand. But you must realize that this war was completely started by the Art County United. From ancient times to the present, the Golden Shield Empire has fought against the North Neither has territorial claims.
The war not only hurt the Golden Shield Empire, but also deeply hurt the people of Art County United. You lost your legs because the increase in production tasks caused the pressure in the steam pipe to exceed the dangerous value.
In the security team that protected me yesterday, three people were conscripted or will be conscripted to join the war. They are all the pillars of the family, but they have to use their lives to satisfy the greed of the rulers and oligarchs of the Utah County Union.
This is not a just war. It has been bleeding dirty from the beginning, and it is the selfish desire of very few people. Ending it can't just be on the Empire that was invaded, it needs you who are also wounded by the war. "
Lazild looked at his legs, feeling cold and unconscious.
In the final analysis, this rebellion is that the war has allowed the company to squeeze people to the limit. Mr. Luke’s words are life-saving straws for those who are struggling to survive.
Even if I know what the ending is waiting for me, I can't help but hurry up.
Now all my fantasies about the future are fantasies, but with the funding of the Golden Shield Empire, it is possible to realize it.
"This is indeed an unjust war." Lazild replied, also convincing himself: "The rulers and oligarchs of the Yate County United are our enemy and your enemy."
"Yes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Playing the banner of anti-war will not only allow you to get the support of the underground mining area, but also the support of all the lower-level people of Winter Capital.
If you want to realize your ideals, you can't just put your goals in the ground, you have to go from the ground to the surface, and let the truth you believe in be tested by the sun.
Only the living victors are qualified to define: who...betrayed this country! "
