Chapter 649: The Grim Reaper Returns
At this moment, there were more than a dozen snake scales and twenty valuable crystal thorns in Allen's backpack. The left side of the rucksack bulged outward, and judging from its almost oval outline, it was definitely not snake scales and crystal spines. That's another thing that Eren harvested from the python, the heart core. The heart nucleus is another heart of the python, but this heart is completely crystalline. It is like the power furnace of a starship, and the heart core is the essence of the source power of the giant python's whole body.
The heart core itself is not uncommon, but those beasts that can use the source power, as the source power they grasp grows stronger, will gradually form a crystal similar to an organ in their bodies. They are used to store and drive the source force, which is the heart core. It's just that there is a difference in the size of the heart core, and in general, the larger the volume of the heart core, the more source power it stores, and the more pure the mass is.
Human beings, and even most intelligent beings in the universe, the way they drive the source force comes more from the engraving and the source force circuit. This is where intelligent life differs from beasts, which cannot form imprints, but only rely on the heart core. And this also determines that the abilities of intelligent life are diverse, while the abilities of beasts are relatively simple, but relatively pure.
The heart core of the crystal spiny python is the size of a rugby ball, which is relatively rare. When the heart core was taken out of the python's body, it was crystal clear all over, and it was filled with a lilac light, like a piece of fine purple marble. There are also natural dark purple lines in the core of the heart, and the thickest of these crystals is even the thickness of Allen's little finger. These crystals are distributed with gold sand the size of a grain of sand, and a surging source power can be extracted from each gold sand.
Snake scales, crystal spines, heart cores. These three items are worth at least 30 million federal coins, according to Catherine's estimate. Its central core accounts for almost two-thirds of its value, and if these few things are processed and sold, the price is even higher.
When Alan heard this number, he was suspicious, knowing that he had been operating on the Heavenly Star for so long, and the Thames Silver he brought back only sold for about 20 million. Now there are 30 million to kill a crystal python, and there are at least three more crystal pythons like this, that is, nearly 100 million wealth! If even the Crystal Thorn Python was so valuable, Alan couldn't imagine the value of Mother Earth.
After knowing the value of the crystal python, even Alan was a little moved by the hunt for Mother Earth.
It's a moving mountain of gold!
Now these things in the backpack can't be directly exchanged for military merit, but Alan is not worried about making a move. He plans to keep the snake scales for himself, and as for the crystal thorn core, he will sell it as long as someone buys him. Something like that, especially the heart core, and even the federal government would be willing to fund the acquisition. Now Alan just wants to get back to the Kaiyan base as soon as possible, in addition to shooting these things, it is also good to meet other people.
Thinking that he was the leader of the hunting group, but he had been separated from the team for so many days, Alan was quite ashamed. But he didn't know that the Kaiyan base had now spent six full days in the flames of war.
Everywhere there was the roar of high-energy beams breaking through the air, and the loud sound of explosions. All you can smell is choking blood and the pervasive smell of burning. Reina has smelled enough of this smell. And at this moment, the strong smell of blood came from the nose, it was from a corpse that had just lay down at his feet, the corpse of the Red Spear Stark. The death of this enemy commander meant the end of the war.
Reyna looked back and realized that the battle had lasted so long, and they had been able to hold out for so long.
Everything was like a miracle.
After Rhys returned to the base with the enemy's intelligence, at dusk the next day, when the Holly Forest was dyed golden by the sunset, the coalition of Cato warriors and the Gree giants appeared in front of the base at Kaiyan. It was a bloody evening, and the enemy troops who had just arrived at the base did not even recuperate, and the Red Spear Stark directly launched the order to attack.
The Gray Giants act as strikers, and without a doubt, they are the most feared strikers. When the first Glay giant crashed across a section of the guard wall on the east side of the base, the base army that usually only fought the natives of the planet reacted. Lieutenant Colonel Ned opened the war with a quick and somewhat hesitant voice to give the order to counterattack.
A few days later, Reyna still clearly remembers that when all the battery arrays in the base fired wildly, more than half of the giants rushed directly to the artillery fire. Their bodies exploded into waves of blood under heavy artillery fire, and the blood spilled from the giants melted the snow into a meandering river of blood that flowed across the battlefield. The raging warriors of the Cato trampled on the blood of the giants and their corpses, and pounced forward one after another from the rear.
It was an extremely hard battle, and the beams and flames near the base never stopped during the all-night battle. The light of the fire that appeared from the direction of the base could illuminate almost half of the holly forest. When the battle continued from evening to daylight the next day, Stark temporarily withdrew his troops. By this time, hundreds of corpses had been left on the periphery of the base.
Ten of the Gree giants alone were killed in this first battle, and only three were wounded and returned to the makeshift camp.
As for the Kaiyan base, except for the Federation soldiers who died in battle, all other hunting groups were damaged. Cage's team was the most serious, when a Glay giant directly attacked the defense area they were stationing, causing all of Cage's team members to die, which was a huge blow to Cage, and at the same time planted a deep hatred in his heart.
As time progressed, the battle became tighter and tighter. And when the death toll on both sides began to rise, hatred took root. Both sides gritted their teeth and tried to eat each other, but for either side, the enemy's bone was hard enough to swallow.
On the third day of the battle, Reiner quietly walked around the rear of the enemy army with his men and horses, and relied on the accurate information provided by Rhys to knock out the enemy's material storage points in one fell swoop, thus tilting the balance of war. Cato warriors or Glai giants, they have a wide diet and can even eat beasts raw. However, there must also be beasts to satisfy their hunger, and after the war began, almost all the beasts in the Holly Forest subconsciously avoided this battlefield. After the supplies were destroyed, the alien coalition army wanted to replenish food, so they had to go to the forest four or five hundred kilometers away to hunt.
Obviously, this is very unrealistic.
As a result, the coalition forces could only fight hungry, and there is no doubt that the Cato warriors were very brave on the battlefield. But they eat as much as they are, and even more so the Giant Grey. With food shortages, the coalition offensive is starting to look weak, which is undoubtedly great news for the human side of the Kaiyan base.
With the cooperation of the army and the hunting group, the human camp began to fight back, actively organizing offensives, constantly weakening the strength of the enemy army. Finally, today, covered by the base army, a group of strong men led by Reina cut through the enemy's defense, penetrated deep into the middle army, and killed the Red Spear Stark in one fell swoop. When Stark's chest-crumbling corpse from the stinging hammer was held high, the Cato warriors were the enemy.
Without Stark to take command, Cato's warriors, no matter how brave they were, were nothing more than scattered sand. Coupled with the discouragement of the army and the depressed morale, the federal army took the opportunity to sweep and defeat them one after another. However, the two remaining Gray Giants were quite violent, frantically intercepting the Union army, and finally died at the hands of Regers and Belmode.
When the remnants of the enemy retreated into the forest, the war that lasted for several days finally came to an end. By this time, even Reina was physically and mentally exhausted. After returning to base, he washed himself and fell asleep, sleeping until the next morning, when he woke up.
Pulling back the curtains and looking out at the potholed battlefield outside the base, where the Union soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, Reina still felt like he was in a dream. He squeezed his thigh hard, only to be sure that it was not a dream, that the battle was over.
Today's restaurant is extremely deserted, especially in the dining area where the strong people from various families are entertained, and there are only a few people in Liao Liao. Among them, Regis himself occupied a table, and was sweeping the food on the table. Reyna joined the mopping force, and Regers only glanced up at him before continuing to eat in silence. At the height of the war, they didn't even have time to eat, they just squeezed a nutrient into their mouths and then rushed to the front.
Now that there's plenty of time, no one wants to continue eating nutrients. It wasn't until he had eaten everything on the table that Regers patted his stomach and exhaled contentedly. Only then did Reina ask, "What about the other two?" ”
"Belmode and Rhys went out to scout early in the morning, and they wanted to know where the remnants of the enemy army had finally retreated, and perhaps found out where the enemy's base camp was. As for Lucy, you know, Your Highness doesn't have much appetite lately. Regis sat up straight and frowned, "Eren hasn't heard from him yet, it's really worrying." ”
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the restaurant. Reina looked at the crowd outside the door, as if he was watching something. Suddenly, Ned's voice rang out: "Get out of the way, the general is here, what kind of system is this." ”
The lieutenant colonel cut through the crowd and split the onlookers into two sides. Ned was followed by several other people, and when the lieutenant colonel turned sideways, two black and white ponytails crashed into the eyes of the two Rainers.
Catherine!
Regis rubbed his eyes, and it was indeed Catherine of Death walking behind Reina. She was dressed in a crisp general's uniform, and the silver Federation General Star on her shoulders glittered in the lights of the dining room. Behind Catherine was her lieutenant and several guards, who looked at the restaurant with indifferent expressions.
Reina suddenly stood up, stood in front of Catherine and said in a deep voice: "General Catherine, why are you here?" ”
Catherine raised her eyebrows: "Is there something wrong?" I'm passing by the Kaiyan base to make the necessary supplies, could it be that these are to be reported to Beth Kod? ”
Ned looked puzzled, he had no idea what the smell of gunpowder was in the two men's mouths.
