Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 202 Try
Talas, the marching camp.

The stove was burning fiercely. Guo Ziyun, who was sitting behind the desk, was holding a few official reports and whispering something with several military officers of the Shenwu Shogunate.

"The Tuqishi took the Yibohai route from the north through Yancheng to Sogdia, while the Youwei Guards led the way with baggage and have already arrived at Suiye. The two towns of Longyou and Hexi are urgently recruiting soldiers. The Zhechongfu will provide ten elite soldiers for every hundred households. If there is a shortage, the Zuo Jinwu will make up for it. It will take time and money to make several tributes and send them to various places. I hope the general will give us some advice."

"Okay, these have been checked by Zuo Jinwu, so there is no need to report them again."

Guo Ziyun opened his mouth, looked at the battle damage list in his hand, and suddenly asked, "How is Tianrui Division?"

"Yingjilang has returned to the capital with many seized weapons a few days ago. I believe that Tianruisi will take action soon. In addition, Zuo Jinwu has asked Master Bukong Sanzang to go on this expedition."

"This is rare good news."

Guo Ziyun twirled his beard and said, "It's just that the Tabai scouts sent back a message saying that the people in Chachishi City have been deserted. Tell me, how come the Western Barbarians, after being defeated on the front line, don't even want the hub city in the rear?"

General Sima remained silent. It was obvious that Guo Ziyun was not asking them.

"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. When things are extremely evil, there must be fraud. The Western Barbarians retreated so decisively, they must have other plans."

On the other side of the marching camp, Qin Huai, wearing a scarlet robe embroidered with red and gold tiger patterns, was sitting on an animal skin carpet. He stroked the hexagonal iron coffin that Xue Wen brought back while responding to Guo Ziyun's questions.

Guo Ziyun nodded and glanced at the iron coffin: "The coffins of the Western barbarians are unlucky, so it's better for my dear nephew not to touch them."

Qin Huai grinned, with black ripples flashing in his eyes.

[Alchemy Technology: Seraph's Coffin]

Quality: Rare

Condition: intact
Origin: Minerva Agency
With a built-in life support system, the person in the coffin can enter a [hibernation] state with extremely low vital signs and energy consumption.

Starting requirements: Sufficient liquid nitrogen or dry ice, Seraph current power supply

[Hibernation]: Creatures that enter this state will have a chance to linger, and most injuries will not worsen.

Note: The transport equipment used by Messiah to drop Seraph can be used as a medical life support chamber when necessary.

"Uncle, you don't know, this coffin has some secrets, there might be a living person lying inside!"

Looking at the six-winged owl emblem etched on the side of the iron coffin, Qin Huai picked out a suitable screwdriver from the spoils of the Shenwu Tianqi, and in a few seconds he removed the steel plate engraved with the emblem.

Bang!
The steel plate hit the thick animal hide, making a dull sound.

Guo Ziyun was stunned for a moment. If Qin Huai had not dismantled it himself, he would never have thought that the coffin had such a design.

Behind the guard plate are densely packed circuits and sophisticated lock core transmission devices. Qin Huai briefly analyzed the circuits, then looked at the gears and spring machines, and came up with an idea in his mind.

Pick out two wire ends from the circuit, peel off the rubber with a knife, and connect them together.

crackle~
Along with the splashing of electric sparks, there were several explosions inside the iron coffin. The keyhole on the side began to rotate slowly, and the faint sound of mechanical operation could be heard from inside. The iron cover separated to the left and right along the zigzag lines, and cold blue air gushed out.

"I changed the circuit structure of this coffin and used the sudden surge in current to burn out the condensation system. In order to protect the person in the coffin, this coffin was reset and unlocked in an emergency."

Guo Ziyun didn't understand what Qin Huai was saying, but he knew that Qin Huai was the master craftsman of talisman armor of Tianrui Division, so he didn't ask any more questions. He immediately stood up and walked to the coffin and looked inside.

The dark mirror-like armor lay quietly in the thin ice, releasing an indescribable charm.

"Isn't this the Western Barbarian knight who fought with you a few days ago?"

"Yeah, that's right. I didn't expect that he could survive after I shot him in the chest."

Qin Huai exhaled lightly, and his fist, which was flowing with golden and red light, shattered the ice with just one blow and lifted up the dark Seraph.

Name: Rundstedt
Condition: Severely injured (internal organs are damaged, nervous system and white matter of the brain are damaged)

"Uncle Guo, this thief is very powerful. He probably holds a high position in the Western Yi army. I'm going to take him down for interrogation. Please stay."

"I think he is weak and I am afraid he will not live long. It is up to you to decide whether to torture him or not."

"Uncle, rest assured. I know my limits."

Guo Ziyun patted Qin Huai's waist and abdomen, then returned to his seat to discuss the war with the shogunate.

Qin Huai threw the [Seraphim Black Dragon] back into the coffin, then walked out the door, with two [Flying Cavalry Guards] behind him carrying the [Seraphim Coffin] and following closely.

Fujiajian, workshop.

Wu Shu wiped the sweat off his face with a wet towel while the brass mechanical arm on his body was methodically dismantling a [Type III Blazing Iron Cavalry].

"The power balance of this armor is really good. It is much easier than ours."

The bearded man held two thin pliers and disassembled the delicate power circuit with the help of a glass eyepiece. He held up a purple-gold mechanical part and said excitedly, "Such minute processing precision can only be achieved by Luo Fu in the entire Tianrui Division. It would be great if we could research the relevant technology."

"It's a pity that we didn't catch any mechanics with goods this time. Those ordinary maintenance soldiers are really not worth much."

Wu Shu kicked the [Bronze Shepherd] with broken armor beside his feet, his tone somewhat sad.

The bearded man pointed his finger and said, "It took five Shenwu Tianqi, plus Xue Xianfeng, a full quarter of an hour to take him down. We should be content to be able to snatch a few maintenance soldiers from this monster."

"This kind of armor of the Western Barbarians is very similar to talisman armor, and is not as rigid as those iron golems, so it does take some effort to put away." Xue Wen was repairing the [Flying Cavalry Guard] in the workshop. When he heard the craftsmen discussing it, he casually took over the conversation.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Wu Shu's eyes lit up, and he sat next to Xue Wen with the [Bronze Shepherd] in his hand, looking very energetic.

"Xue Xianfeng, can you tell me in detail?"

Xue Wen nodded slightly and was about to speak when the door of the workshop was suddenly pushed open. A cold wind blew in, causing the orange-red fire to sway.

"Come and help."

Qin Huai's voice rang out in the workshop, attracting everyone forward.

After pressing the Rundstedt onto the [Hercules Rack] and locking it tightly, Qin Huai clapped his hands and watched Wu Shu remove the Tianrui Can of [Seraphim Black Dragon]. After confirming that there was no problem, the bearded man connected the cable and turned the brass button on the giant steel chair.

Crackling~
With a vibration and flashes of electric sparks, the various parts of the [Seraphim Black Dragon] were dismantled and removed one by one and hung on the armor suspension next to it.

Qin Huai looked at the thin young man with black blood flowing from his chest and back, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said nothing.

So thin? How could this physique withstand the nerve load several times that of [Black Dragon]?

Before Qin Huai could think about it, Rundstedt suddenly looked painful, and foul-smelling black blood flowed out of his seven orifices. "Trouble!"

The fire flickered, the embers dissipated, and the bluish-white nectar penetrated the pervasive steam and dripped onto the pale young man's body, half of it seeping into his brain and spine, and the other half dispersing into his internal organs.

The bruises under the boy's translucent skin disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his broken organs began to grow slowly.

Although the craftsmen around had heard of Qin Huai's talisman methods to some extent, this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. Seeing the immediate effect of the nectar talisman, even though they were well-informed and had received systematic training, they could not help but lose their composure.

"This"

"I have been practicing this method since I was a child, and I suddenly realized it one day. If you want to learn it, I can publish a book for you to try after I return to the court."

Although Qin Huai's method was indeed bizarre, decades ago, Luo Fu Zhenren, who also came from the Fulu Sect, had even more bizarre skills. Therefore, the craftsmen did not feel anything wrong, but kept Qin Huai's promise firmly in their hearts.

Seeing Rundstedt's condition gradually improving but still unconscious, Qin Huai tilted his head, and everyone immediately pulled the boy out of the iron chair and tied him up in another place.

Qin Huai walked around the [Seraphim Black Dragon] on the suspension, taking in every detail. The thick shield-shaped shoulder armor, double-layered arm armor, fish-scale belly armor and helmet with cross-shaped perspective holes made it look even more powerful than the [Flying Cavalry Guards].

"It's a good armor, but it's a little small."

Perhaps because the wearer was a skinny teenager, the [Seraph Black Dragon] was only about two and a half meters tall. Even if the armor was stretched out, it was only slightly taller than Qin Huai's sturdy body, so it was impossible for him to wear it.

Qin Huai smacked his lips, patted the armor that was as dark as night, and looked up at the [Flying Cavalry Guards] who were accompanying him.

"Xiao Gui, you come and try."

"Here!"

Xiao Gui pulled open his visor, without any hesitation, walked to the armor rack and began to take off his armor.

"General, I want to try it later."

Looking at Xue Wen who volunteered and Fu Mengmaojie who was eager to try, Qin Huai nodded: "Okay, but it's very dangerous. If the situation is not right, I will interrupt your attempt at any time."

Qin Huai took a quick look and found that although the Shenwu Tianqi and Seraphim were both so-called Tianrui hybrids, he had only seen four with the suffix "Qualified", including Xiao Gui.

So to be on the safe side, Qin Huai decided to let Xiao Gui, who had seen a lot of storms and had a firm mind, try wearing Longdstedt's [Seraph Black Dragon].

"Bring me my Suanni armor."

Qin Huai suddenly remembered something, walked to the special half-moon suspension, and asked Wu Shu to put the [Suanni Special] on him.

Accompanied by a series of steam explosions, [Suan Ni Special Type] and Xiao Gui arrived next to [Hercules's Frame] together.

"Stop immediately if you can't hold on any longer. Don't try to be brave."

Glancing at the somewhat crude monitoring equipment and protective measures, Qin Huai was very serious and attentive.

"Don't worry, General. I know what I'm doing."

Xiao Gui, with his upper body naked, smiled cheerfully, with golden light flashing in his eyes.

"Then let's get started, Wu loses!"

Seeing Xiao Gui holding on to the handrail, his whole body was sunk into the cold and hard [Hercules Frame].

The bearded man suddenly turned on the power switch, and Wu Shu also pushed the brass button at the same time.

The dark long strip covered with golden needles was aimed at Xiao Gui's neck by the robotic arm and inserted into his spine one by one from top to bottom, entering through the small foramen between the vertebrae and penetrating into the most important nerve tissue in the human body, the gray matter of the spinal cord.

A severe pain came from behind, and even though Xiao Gui was a rare killer, his face was distorted and his brows were furrowed.

When the last needle pierced into Xiao Gui's spine, the dark long strip fit perfectly with the flesh and blood spine, making it difficult to distinguish between the two.

Eight spider-shaped mechanical arms on the back of the disc immediately descended and assembled the armor components on Xiao Gui's body one by one. Screws were spinning, welding sparks were falling like rain, and the strong and muscular body of Tianrui hybrid was gradually covered by the heavy and ferocious machinery.

Qin Huai looked at the dashboard, which showed that all the data had increased but remained normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with the double insurance of a glimpse and the Qingwei Talisman, Qin Huai did not dare to guarantee that Xiao Gui would be able to safely wear the [Seraph]. Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Qin Huai knew that his guess was probably right.

This [Qualified Person] definitely has a secret!

The indicator light on the [Hercules Rack] gradually changed from red to green. Even though it flashed repeatedly occasionally, it was generally smooth. This showed that Xiao Gui's nerve centers were opening up to the Seraph Armor one by one.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Gui had rich experience in controlling talisman armor, coupled with his physical and mental abilities that were far superior to those of ordinary people, that everything went more smoothly than expected.

On the surface, the nerve backlash that Qin Huai was worried about did not cause any harm to Xiao Gui.

In fact, if Xiao Gui hadn't used the same method to control the Seraphim as he did to control the armor, and hadn't controlled the armor as a part of his body, it would have been a lucky coincidence. Even if he was a one-in-a-million [qualified person], it would have been impossible for him to wear the Seraphim so smoothly for the first time.

No one knew what Xiao Gui had gone through. All the lights on the [Hercules Rack] turned green, and the ferocious mask engraved with dragon patterns fell off. After being fully armed, Xiao Gui began to grab the mechanical handrails and try to stand up.

After a while of groping, the [Seraphim Black Dragon] stood steadily in front of the [Suanni Special Type], and its parts opened and closed automatically, spewing out hot white steam.

A terrifying aura emanated from the Black Dragon, causing everyone in the workshop to shiver.

"how do you feel?"

"It's lighter than Fu Jia, but also much more tiring than Fu Jia."

At first glance, the words that sounded contradictory came out from under the mask. Qin Huai thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant.

"Your body is light but your mind is heavy, but can you still hold on?"

"I don't know. I have to try it first."

[Black Dragon] grabbed the arm armor of [Suan Ni Special Type] and walked out. At first he walked unsteadily, but after a few steps he walked much more smoothly. In the end he no longer needed support to step out of the door.

Two steel giants walked onto the training ground one after the other, slowly distanced themselves from each other.

"I see you're having trouble walking, can you really hold on?"

"General, you will know if you try it."

In the metal demon's dark eye sockets, blazing golden pupils suddenly lit up, and milky white steam flowed on the muddy ground of the training ground like a waterfall.

"Okay, let's try it."
