Origin Paradise!

"We've finally arrived," the porcupine exclaimed. Fortunately, the battle at the library was intense; otherwise, getting to the train station would have been much more difficult.

Jiang He frowned slightly. "It's a bit too quiet."

Wuhe replied through a dedicated channel, "Since the operation began last night until our arrival, I have sent 42 birds to monitor this place. There have been no obvious abnormalities, but it is indeed too quiet."

Grey Knight Rayman led the way into the control room, which was in complete disarray. Before the Battle of the Somme officially began, this was a vital center for military supplies. Now, all that remained were the corpses of the communications officers and scattered documents.

"Tommy, it's time for you to use your abilities. If you can find clues, our mission will be able to move forward."

"clear."

Tommy nodded, closed his eyes, and activated his knight energy.

A dozen seconds later, he arrived next to a corpse and pulled a bloodstained document from the person's shirt pocket.

Grey Knight Rayman took the document; it contained the train number. "Continue," he said, "the intelligence personnel last traveled on T3210."

Jiang He and the porcupine kept watch on the perimeter. Tommy took a deep breath and activated his Flash of Inspiration once more.

A moment later, he found the passenger list for T3210 in a stack of documents next to the desktop telegraph machine.

Grey Knight Rayman glanced out the window at the several overturned trains on the tracks and asked, "The intelligence officer's name is James. Which carriage do you think he was in at the time?"

"Let me try."

Tommy held his breath and focused intently. With two clues as a foundation, the difficulty of locking onto the target was greatly reduced.

Jiang He took the train schedule and the list of personnel, which mostly included family members of soldiers who had come from all over Prussia to visit the front lines.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered. Ksenia's name appeared on the passenger list, right next to the location of intelligence agent James.

Wuhe sent a message through the channel: "It's the female crocodile rider you killed when you were collecting military merits for your promotion ceremony. She often appears near the ruins of Lyden Bank looking for things."

Jiang He replied, "What does Lyden Bank have?"

"The underground storage room contained nearly three thousand numbered safes, all belongings deposited by citizens of Lyden. However, with the outbreak of war, almost all of them were cashed out. British intelligence personnel probably used themselves as bait to send important items back through another route. Given this situation, he must have left a message before he died. Crocodile Knight deciphered part of it and tracked down Lyden Bank, but some of the key information can only be understood by friendly forces. It may involve the most important safe numbers."

Following the clues, Wuhe deduced that the Lyden Bank had been bombed, and the safes in the underground storage room were scattered in the ruins, making the search very difficult. However, with the numbers, the search area could be significantly reduced by referring to the architectural drawings or the experience of the bank staff. After all, nearly three thousand safes would occupy a considerable amount of space.

Meanwhile, Tommy had already pinpointed the carriage where the intelligence personnel were riding, thanks to a sudden flash of inspiration.

"Armored train, fourth section from the front to the back."

Grey Knight Rayman waved, "Let's go."

The porcupine followed the gray knight away from the dispatch station.

Jiang He said to Tommy, "The train number, list, names, and seats we just mentioned are all shared clues, from 1 to 3000. Please choose a number that inspires you."

Tommy answered quickly this time, "692."

Wuhe nodded and said, "I know the address of the famous designer at the Leden Bank. He lives in Berlin. I can open the safe with a chaos bomb. Leave this to me."

"Reliable." Jiang He couldn't help but praise. With a dedicated intelligence agent, the executive officer's operations were much more convenient. The agent not only provided a large supply of intelligence but also took on some of the functions of an assistant.

The two left the control panel and followed the Grey Knight and the Porcupine toward the armored train.

As the action team entered the carriage, a strong stench of decay and blood assaulted their senses. The blood on the ground had already dried. During the armored train's overturning, a large number of passengers had tragically died. Some had their heads stuck under the seats, their bodies limp like noodles, while others lay twisted and crooked in the aisle, like a long, writhing snake.

In the fourth carriage, the four men located the intelligence officer, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. A bullet wound through his jaw had taken his life, and it was highly likely that the intelligence officer had committed suicide by shooting himself.

Jiang He said, "Don't you think it's a bit strange that his body was left here? If we're going to search for intelligence, we should at least consider the possibility that it's hidden inside his body. An autopsy is the most basic procedure, and further skin tests would require a professional facility."

Tommy's forehead was beaded with cold sweat: "My premonition is getting stronger and stronger."

Wuhe relayed: "No one is approaching."

"Aren't you two being too sensitive?" the porcupine complained.

"We'll retreat immediately after we've finished the search."

Grey Knight Rayman examined the marks on the deceased's body, and just as his fingers touched the clothes, a very faint but extremely jarring cracking sound rang out.

The porcupine was a professional and very familiar with booby traps. Faced with an irreversible situation, he swore menacingly.

The next instant, shockwaves and flames erupted beneath the intelligence officer's seat.

Boom!

Because of his prior suspicions, Jiang He successfully activated Garuda Mode: Full Enhancement. A blue-red armor appeared on his body, completely covering his entire body. In the brief reaction time, he grabbed Tommy by the collar and threw it out the car window.

At the same time, the explosion served as a signal; inside the train station, a section of the ground suddenly collapsed, and more than a dozen elite knights filed out from within.

The lead anemone knight said, "Mole, the surface is no longer your concern. Stay underground; your abilities are not suited for combat."

"clear."

The mole rider shrank back.

"Everyone, immediately set up the encirclement, take your positions and support the Wolf Shadow Knights. The target this time is two British Monochrome Knights. Be prepared to sacrifice yourselves."

A dozen or so knights dispersed.

The first dolphin rider to take position sang a dolphin song, and the sound waves swept forward, instantly locking onto the enemy's location.

Behind him, the Fly Knight activated the Seahorse Treasure Ring on his finger, and swarms of flies flew out from it. He intended to use this dense attack to dismantle the Gray Knight's lightning sensing zone.

Chapter 77 Knights' Siege

Train station, armored train.

The shockwave from the overlapping explosions of multiple booby traps shoved Jiang He sideways, smashing through the wooden doors separating them, and into the third carriage.

At this moment, the armor constructed by Garuda Mode - Fully Enhanced is mostly dim, but it has not yet broken. When the energy value was only 300 at the beginning, this mode could only be maintained for three minutes at a time. However, with the energy value now reaching the upper limit of 1,100 points, the endurance has been significantly improved, and even the quality has been slightly enhanced.

Before the force of the explosion had dissipated, a cold blade of light attacked from the side. The blade was thick and the edge was sharp, like the fangs of a wolf. The person who drew the blade could not be seen in the corner of the eye; only the cold edge exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

Iron light appeared in Jiang He's hand, and a long spear seemed to fall from nothingness. He grasped it precisely, and the force flowed through his hands, feet, elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips in sequence. The three external forces were integrated into one. Although his body was in motion, he still exerted the immense force of Ming Jin.

To be precise, Ming Jin is a technique that integrates the power of the whole body. It can gather the three values ​​of strength, body and agility to the greatest extent. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. And the agility of up to 12 points made the sweeping blow vibrate with a howling wind.

The blades clashed.

The crisp sound of the blade shattering echoed.

The silver spear, carrying a fierce momentum, struck the enemy's chest. Its immense weight surged forth like a torrent, smashing flesh and destroying bones, cleaving him in two at the waist with unparalleled force.

The attacker died, revealing his body on the spot, and the strange wolf-headed, human-bodied appearance quickly faded away.

The rabble, who had been secretly watching, immediately sent a message.

The attackers were the imperial guards of the Prussian Emperor in the Berlin Palace, a total of forty-six men, all of whom were wolf subspecies knights, officially known as Wolf Shadow Knights. Every ten years or so, the Berlin Palace would conduct a series of selections to recruit physically strong soldiers to replenish the number of knights lost. The soldiers would gain abilities such as strength, wolf fangs, and a keen sense of smell through promotion ceremonies, and would be equipped with standard equipment such as color-changing suits and tough swords.

The color-changing suit comes from the skin of the Chameleon Knight. The family that inherited the knight's abilities once rebelled and was imprisoned by the Prussian royal family for hundreds of years. The royal family's choice to deal with each Chameleon Knight was to imprison them, skin them, feed them restorative alchemical potions, and then repeat the process every year. Alchemists would process the items to produce a small number of finished products with a limited lifespan. Since it is not a secret treasure, this strange item circumvents the principle of the knight's uniqueness.

As for the tough blade, it came from the teeth of a dead wolf knight.

The Wolf Shadow Knight's life was fleeting.

The person's sideways movement also stopped, the train floor suddenly shattered, and eight huge octopus tentacles rolled upwards wildly, each with numerous venomous stingers on its suckers, sparking densely packed sparks as they rubbed against the floor.

Jiang He quickly stepped back a few paces, and with a loud bang, the train ceiling was smashed open by the tentacles.

The Drum Shrimp Knight grabbed his tentacles and entered the carriage from the pit. His right arm was exceptionally thick, with a magnificent claw. A stream of water shot forward from it at an unimaginable speed, and the sound of a cannonball exploding echoed in the carriage.

At the end of the water flow, low-pressure bubbles explode, releasing a burst of powerful shock and intense heat.

Jiang He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding truck. He used his close-range spear, Overlord Lifting the Cauldron, to block half of the force in front of him, but the remaining impact still broke the bones in his arms. The spear pierced his chest, and he could hear the crisp sound of his sternum cracking. His dull blue-red armor completely collapsed.

"Give him another hit!" the Octopus Knight shouted.

“Then I’ll die first, in one minute,” the Drum Shrimp Knight replied, enduring the excruciating pain in his arm.

Jiang He crashed through the train's armor. While still in mid-air, he stopped the advanced self-healing from restoring his chest, focused on healing his arms, and gripped the Crimson Baptism sniper rifle that appeared from his inventory with his left hand. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

A crimson light pierced through the carriage, chilling the two knights to the bone. The octopus tentacles suddenly parted, revealing a short, old man inside, carrying a snail shell on his back, who decisively stood in front of the two men.

clang!

The resounding clang of the hammer striking the bell echoed loudly.

The scaly-footed snail, the animal with the hardest shell, has formed a unique alloy film through long-term mineral deposition in the hydrothermal vents of the seabed. This film can withstand bullet attacks and is one of the sources of inspiration for bulletproof vests. After entering the realm of the extraordinary, its defensive capabilities are further enhanced.

"The Light Knight did not die unjustly."

The snail knight looked at its hard shell, which was covered with cracks and signs of corrosion. The power of the shot was more than enough to kill the knight's flesh and blood.

Outside the carriage, Jiang He caught a glimpse of the splashing fire liquid coming from the side. The fire ant riders were unleashing their full power in a targeted hunt, one step after another.

Jiang He spread his wings, took off, and flipped in mid-air. A burst of fireballs shot past him. At the same time, 3,600 iron-like feathers flew out, but instead of hitting the fire-breathing ant knight, they landed on the armored metal with a crackling sound. When Crimson Baptism fired, he heard the other party's disordered breathing.

Just as the enemy was about to land, the Dead Leaf Knight, who was about to deliver the fatal blow, was riddled with bullets. His disguise, which resembled metal, was exposed. His hand slipped, and he fell from the edge of the train's outer wall, lying dead on the ground.

Jiang He was suspended in mid-air when he suddenly turned his head. An alchemical bullet whizzed past his ear, followed by a dense barrage of poison needles. The Gray Eagle Knight and the Sea Anemone Knight stood on the iron shed of the station. He dodged back and forth, firing his gun repeatedly, before finally managing to land steadily.

The moment it landed, octopus tentacles swept over, spraying fire to seal its flanks. Suddenly, a large crater appeared in front of it, and the mole rider's figure flashed by. A four-meter-tall black gorilla rider crawled out, his muscles bulging like small mountains. He held a heavy hammer taller than a man and charged with unstoppable momentum. Meanwhile, the black scorpion rider on his back took the opportunity to shoot out a poisonous tail that was several meters long.

Behind them, a wolf-like knight lying on the railway tracks drew his sword, the tip pointing directly at the target's back.

At the same time, a second alchemical bullet was fired.

In the critical moment, Jiang He remained calm. He thrust forward a shot, the Dragon Claw, which stopped the Black Star Knight's heavy hammer. He dodged the alchemical bullets, and with his left hand, he fired a crimson stream of light from his sniper rifle, hitting the poison tail. Blood wings covered his side, blocking all the sprayed fire and liquid. As he turned to the side, a black gem flew out from between his fingers. The violent explosion tore apart all the octopus tentacles. He pulled the spear back from the front, circled around the neck, and stabbed the Wolf Shadow Knight behind him to death.

In a short moment, he made six choices. Compared to charging into the Qingbing Army formation, the slightly unfamiliar team attack in front of him was not worth getting flustered about. The only drawback was that the Wolf Shadow Knight was fearless and risked his own head to shatter, still managing to send the tough blade into the enemy's back.

Jiang He flapped its wings and moved backward, escaping the center of the battle. The black gorilla rider, after recovering, smashed into a very obvious crater.

Octopus, shrimp, snail, gray eagle, sea anemone, black scorpion, chimpanzee, fire ant, dead leaf insect, two wolf shadows, and eleven elite knights joined forces to kill one person, but three of them have already died in battle.

Chapter 78 The Death of the Knight

The train station roof.

The Anemone Knight issued the tactical order, and the Gray Eagle Knight raised his head and let out a long and winding eagle cry.

Upon receiving the order, the chimpanzee rider pressed forward relentlessly. His strength surpassed that of the brown bear, and he also possessed a degree of agility. His imposing four-meter-tall body was quite intimidating, and the heavy hammer felt as light as a feather in his hands as he charged forward and smashed it down.

Jiang He returned the shot with equal force, this time with all his might. A burst of blue and red light erupted, and a combination of 42% additional corrosion damage and 23% additional spear technique damage was delivered with the power of Ming Jin and the Dragon Claw Style, making it exceptionally powerful.

A beam of intense light, concentrated at a single point, spanned several meters. The spearhead and the heavy hammer clashed violently, and in an instant, a deafening roar erupted. After the first shot, the heavy hammer shattered, and a dazzling array of sparks exploded, with white shockwaves symbolizing pure destruction surging and scattering in all directions.

Despite the long knife still lodged in her chest and her left wing charred black by the sprayed liquid fire, her advanced self-healing made the horrific injury no longer fatal.

Jiang He retracted his blood wings and stepped forward, thrusting his spear straight forward like a battering ram, shattering the Black Gorilla Knight's head.

The black scorpion's venomous tail shot in from the side, its terrifying poison displaying a dazzling array of colors. The octopus severed from the chaotic bomb had previously lurked here, and the Drum Shrimp Knight, whose face was destroyed by the intense heat, launched a second water bubble attack.

A booming sound, no less than the explosion of a 210mm artillery shell, rang out.

Jiang He was blasted away, and the blue and red armor he reconstructed shattered, but the damage was much less than the first time. He fired another shot, hitting the poison tail. The Black Scorpion Knight's attack might contain lethal poison, but it was too slow.

In mid-air, an alchemical bullet struck, its timing and angle perfect. The sniper's skill was extraordinary to lock onto such a high-speed "flying" target.

Jiang He focused his gaze. Before his shattered energy armor could cover his entire body, two yellow paper pagoda talismans suddenly appeared between his fingers. The talismans turned to ashes in an instant, and two layers of pagoda shadows enveloped his body. These were consumables he had traded with Cangshan Fuxue.

The bullet shattered the defenses, reducing the kinetic energy by more than half. After blasting a fist-sized hole in the abdomen, it was instantly healed by the advanced self-healing system.

Suddenly, the cry of an eagle echoed throughout the entire train station.

The Anemone Knight looked anxious, and the Black Scorpion Knight, who was the first to react, immediately shouted.

"Horn, run!"

Just as the Fire Ant Knight spat out a jet of fire at the enemy, Jiang He, taking advantage of the Drum Shrimp Knight's attack, swiftly arrived at the platform opposite the armored train. The instant he touched the platform wall, he kicked off with both legs and flapped his wings with all his might. The Blood Wings' ability to reduce wind resistance by 20% was activated, and his figure flashed away, leaving behind only the fire that missed its mark, creating large scorching dents.

Jiang He's figure seemed to transform into a streak of light, changing into a V-shape, and the distance between him and the fire-breathing ant rider was within reach.

The prey began to flee, but without any mobility aids, the target was quickly caught by the hunter.

Like a rain of poisonous anemone needles, Jiang He flapped her wings towards the sky, and her restored iron-bladed feathers shot wildly through the air, creating layers of clanging sounds mixed with constantly splashing sparks that filled the high sky.

Jiang He thrust out his spear, the tip piercing the chest of the fire ant knight, and then with a powerful swing, blocked another alchemical bullet.

The bullet ignited the flammable liquid in the Fire Ant Knight's glands, turning it into a human-shaped torch from which agonizing screams emanated. This guy was still a ways from death.

The attack shifted from passive defense to active offense, and after several rounds, two elite knights were killed in action.

The code page is still automatically recording: D-level battle merits +50

In the distance, the Drum Shrimp Knight turned to look at the Anemone Knight, who was in command. He suspected that there was a problem with the tactical arrangement. The target was obviously the most outstanding Blood Bat Knight in history. A knight of equal caliber was needed to deliver the fatal blow. His attack was not up to standard. The opponent not only had outstanding defense, but also an astonishing recovery speed.

Inside the carriage, Octopus Knight and Snail Knight chose to jump out of the window and escape from the other side. Regardless of the outcome of the other group led by Dolphin Knight, at least the hunt for Red Knight had failed, and there was no need to stay any longer.

Black Scorpion dragged the corpse of the Black Gorilla Knight and turned to leave the battlefield, his eyes filled with disgust for the Anemone Knight. His old friend was nothing like what the other had said, capable of withstanding the Red Knight's attack. Their combat intelligence came entirely from the church ambush battle, which was just the commander's word.
