The scarred City Wall...
Poor common people...
There are also white skeletons randomly discarded on the roadside...
After arriving at the port city, Teresa finally realized the horrific impact and destruction caused by this war between two major powers competing for land hegemony.
More than a hundred years of non-stop fighting have not only caused the population to plummet and a large amount of farmland to be abandoned, but the precarious life has also made ordinary people's nerves extremely sensitive, and they will immediately react extremely violently at the slightest disturbance.
Because those who react slowly are usually dead.
Only those who react quickly enough and can smell danger in advance are qualified to survive in such troubled times.
But when she thought about the organization that this country had personally created and carried out cruel experiments in her hometown, her newly emerged compassion would disappear in an instant, and was replaced by a burning rage in her heart.
From the degree of damage to City Wall, Teresa can clearly see the powerful combat power of the creature called "Dragon's Descendants".
Similarly, she also understood why this country took huge risks and went to the island where her hometown was to conduct research and experiments, hoping to create war weapons that could rival or even surpass "Dragon's Descendants".
But understanding is understanding. As a person with a clear distinction between love and hate, she will never forgive the actions of the country's top leaders, and she has decided long ago to completely kill those rulers and make them pay the price for the decision she made in the first place, with blood.
After a brief inspection of the surroundings, Teresa quickly found a place with not many patrolling soldiers and jumped in.
As for why they didn't go through the city gate, it was of course because they didn't have identification documents from this country.
If you go through the city gate, you will 100% be questioned by the gatekeeper officials and eventually exposed.
And as the country behind the organization, it has already begun mass production of Warrior similar to Claymore. With her iconic long golden hair and silver eyes, those familiar with the matter can identify her identity at a glance.
So in order not to cause trouble, he always wrapped his head and face with a white turban along the way.
"Phew - we finally came in safely."
Standing in the deserted alley, Teresa breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at this border city that looked a bit bleak with interest.
Yes!
The contact point given by Lulu is at the forefront of the war between the two countries.
Only such a place is chaotic enough and suitable for spies to play their role.
Since this is a defensive fortress used to resist enemy attacks, it is not very large overall, with the barracks accounting for nearly one-third of the area.
The remaining two-thirds are where soldiers' families and ordinary residents live.
As for the market where goods and goods are traded, there is only one street on the west side near the port.
After all, since the Guardianss began to cut off the connection between the island and the mainland, all ships with ocean-going capabilities have been mercilessly destroyed, and even the shipyards have been demolished.
At present, most of the ports are small fishing boats that can only accommodate a few people, fishing along the offshore area.
If you are unlucky, once you encounter Galleon, the sail of Western Lands coming to scout the route, it will be sunk in minutes and turn into broken wooden boards floating on the sea.
no way!
In order to ensure that the intention of the cross-sea expedition was not noticed by the two countries on the mainland, Allen gave death orders to the captains of those warships, and no fishing boat was allowed to return alive when it saw the sail Galleon.
In addition, these captains and sailors who already know the truth are also full of hostility towards the country behind this organization on the mainland.
And hatred needs a channel to vent.
As a result, the fishermen along the coast became the most unlucky people.
Sometimes, some warships that go out to sea to perform missions or training will even deliberately approach the coast to find small boats floating on the sea, and then use the giant ship Cannon to sink them, watching helplessly as the people on them sink to the bottom of the sea and drown alive, or be torn into pieces by ferocious predatory fish.
Teresa went to the mainland this time on one of the sailing warships. He knew very well how much the sailors on the ship hated this country.
If the two sides went to war one day, they would definitely not mind bombing all the villages and towns along the coast into ruins.
As a slightly sinister, but still kind-hearted person, Teresa doesn't feel at all that it would be beneficial to both parties to continue to deepen this hatred.
But unfortunately, she is not the lord of Western Lands, so she cannot give orders to the captain on the battleship, and she does not know how to resolve this terrible hatred.
Finally, after wandering around the city for several times, the No.1, the strongest organization in history, finally found the only gate painted red in the city.
No hesitation!
Teresa stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
After about a minute or two, a low and hoarse voice came from inside. "Who are you looking for?"
"Someone asked me to deliver something." As he said that, Teresa stuffed the sealed cylinder in his hand through the crack of the door.
The next second...
The people inside seemed to have been stimulated by something, and screamed, "Hiss - how is this possible! Who are you?"
As he spoke, the originally closed door was finally opened.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties stood at the door, his face full of shock and disbelief.
There is no way not to be shocked!
You must know that the spy Lulu has been out of contact for more than ten years!
During this period, no useful information was successfully sent back.
If the enemy country had not also lost contact with the island, they would even think that Lulu had rebelled.
"I don't know anything, I'm just here to help bring a piece of news. If you want to know what happened, you might as well take a look at the contents." Teresa gently lifted the turban, revealing his iconic eyes and hair.
moment!
The pupils of the man standing at the door suddenly dilated, and he clearly realized something. He immediately lowered the trembling tone in his voice and asked, "You... are you Warrior who has undergone organizational transformation on the island?"
Teresa nodded slightly. "That's right! You have three days to send this information out, and I will come back after three days to get a reply."
"Damn it! Three days is too short! And how did you successfully cross the sea?" The middle-aged man obviously wanted to get more useful information, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
But unfortunately, Teresa didn't communicate too much with the other party. He just left a meaningful smile and then turned around and disappeared at the end of the complicated alley.
As soon as she left, a dark figure came out of the house and asked in an uncertain tone, "Do you need me to follow her?"
The middle-aged man immediately shook his head. "No! No need! She is the modified Warrior. Once she is in a hurry and suddenly awakens, it will be very troublesome. We cannot take any risks before contacting Lulu again. Go and send this information as quickly as possible. I will get a reply in three days."
"Understood!"
The black shadow said nothing, took the sealed cylinder, immediately turned over and mounted a horse, and galloped in the direction of the city gate.
It didn't take long before he successfully bribed an officer, slipped out of the city through an inconspicuous door, and headed towards the border of another country.
At the same time, Teresa, who had submitted the information, disguised himself as an ordinary person and wandered near the military camp.
Through careful observation and strong Yoki perception, she easily discovered some modified Warrior similar to Claymore.
However, unlike the organization that only accepts women on the island, many of these Warrior are actually men, and their eyes do not look even the slightest bit alive, as if they are walking zombies obeying the orders issued by their superiors.
You don't need to ask to know that these people are disposable cannon fodder used by this country to fight against Dragon's Descendants production.
They didn't even receive much decent training. Their only function was to rush up and awaken directly, and then some enemies and friends attacked all living creatures around them until they killed all the opponents or themselves were killed.
"What a purgatory-like situation! Allen is right, the so-called war turns people into beasts." Teresa murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
In contrast, those women Claymore who have undergone transformation are obviously treated much better. Even cannon fodder can be recycled and reused.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, the equipment they wear and the Claymore they hold in their hands are no different from those provided by the organization.
While Teresa was waiting patiently on the other side of the sea, Clare finally met No. 4 Ophelia who had the same mental problem as "Two-dimensional".
"Why, haven't the others arrived yet?" Clare glanced at the surrounding ruins and took the initiative to say hello.
"Huh? Everyone is here! There are only two of you and me on this hunting mission."
Ophelia, who had a braided head, turned around and showed a smile that looked very "nuclear and kind".
"Two people hunting Awakened Beings?" Clare's eyes widened in disbelief.
No doubt about it!
Whether it was the first Awakened Beings that he met in Holy City, or the second Awakened Beings that he hunted with Milia and three other people before, they all showed extremely powerful strength.
Especially the second one, if Laki hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, all four of them would have had to answer.
In Clare's view, the organization ordered two people to hunt Awakened Beings, which was no different from murder.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. In fact, I am enough alone. As for you... you are just an accessory."
While saying these words, Ophelia stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his whole body releasing a dangerous aura around him.
As a person who is very sensitive to breath, Clare immediately noticed something was wrong, and subconsciously tried to distinguish the sword mark on the opponent Claymore to determine his identity.
But before she could see clearly, she suddenly discovered that her "teammate" who was sitting directly in front of her just now had disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of strong arms hugged Clare tightly from behind.
I saw Ophelia coming behind me at some point. While caressing Clare's body wrapped in tights unscrupulously, he sniffed his neck and said in a creepy voice, "Strange! Are you really our companion? Why is the aura of demon power so weak?"
"Asshole! Let go of Clare!"
Laki, who was NTRed in person, immediately became furious, pulled out the black Sword of Desire and rushed forward.
You must know that since he absorbed the power of female Awakened Being last time, he is no longer the helpless young man. Not only does he swing his sword cleanly, but his speed is also staggeringly fast.
Unfortunately, this time he met Ophelia, who had rich combat experience and almost never underestimated his opponent.
As a result, this sword was easily dodged as expected.
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ophelia's arm was cut open by Laki, and scarlet blood slowly flowed out from the wound.
If you switch to the normal Claymore and find yourself injured, you will definitely activate Yoki to speed up the healing of the wound.
But Ophelia was just the opposite. Not only did he not release his demon power, he stretched out his fingers and gently wiped a handful of blood on the wound. He raised his chin slightly and said with a look of enjoyment, "You know? When the body was split open, the blood flowed out from the wound, as if it was painted with a bright red like a rose. Now, I will let this little devil bloom beautifully!"
As the last word blurted out, No. 4, who had mental problems, put his bloody finger into his mouth and sucked it.
Poor Laki obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately raised his sword and wanted to take the initiative to attack.
Just tenths of a second later, he discovered that the enemy nearby had disappeared at some point.
When they reacted, the swords of Clare and Ophelia had collided together, and golden Hanabi burst out.
clang!
Among them, the sword belonging to Ophelia is less than a few millimeters away from Laki's shoulder.
If Clare's reaction had been just a little slower, Laki's entire body would have been split in half diagonally.
shock!
fear!
The boy who originally thought he had become stronger now finally realized how far he was from Claymore, who was truly ranked high.
Finally, his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.
"Oh my! You are really surprisingly fast."
Ophelia had a harmless smile on his face, but his eyes became extremely excited and crazy.
"Killing humans is against organizational regulations!" Clare warned with a serious expression.
"Tch! As long as no one knows about this kind of thing, it will be fine. Kill all the insiders, and then pretend to be nonchalant."
Ophelia's crazy side was completely aroused, and he had no intention of taking the organization's regulations into consideration at all.
For her whose mind has been distorted, only constant violence can make her feel the meaning of life.
Whenever he sees the dazzling blood and the severed limbs and arms, Ophelia will feel a pleasure that cannot be described in words.
