Alien Knights

Looking at Boyle's spirit body, Todd turned his face to Rachel who had just entered the soul space, and asked, "What do you think?"

The latter thought for a while and gave the former an answer: "If it is in the real world, the soul summoned by the psychic medium will get rid of the control of the alien and return to the original place after the power is terminated. But in the soul world, the spirit body cannot break through the barrier here, and can only wander in this space."

Todd looked at the light blue ghost flying around his head, and said with a numb scalp, "Does this state mean that there is a dead person's soul living in my body? And I haven't been able to drive it out yet?"

After thinking about it, Rachel said helplessly: "There is a way that should work, let Deirdre use the psychic ability again and send him out."

After hearing this, Todd rejected the proposal without even thinking about it: "What happened last time almost killed the three of us. If Deirdre sees Boyle again and the ability goes out of control again, what should we do at that time?"

Rachel nodded, and later gave another suggestion: "It really doesn't work, there is a last resort."

"any solution?"

"Remember the soul battle between you and Clarence? Boyle's spirit body is also consciousness in essence. If you attack him in the soul space, you can completely injure him and make him disappear completely."

Todd was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ghost wandering around in the air, his eyes filled with hesitation and unbearable: "Forget it... let's do this for now."

"you sure?"

"At least from the current point of view, he can't cause any harm, and I'm also quite interested in the matter of human souls...so let him stay here for a while."

Todd took Rachel out of the soul space and returned to the small building of the Froststone Tribe.

After visiting Deirdre, who was unconscious on the second floor, Todd returned to the tribal longhouse and began to deal with the tribal government affairs for a new day.

As soon as he walked in the gate, Todd saw the bastard Ackerman, and smiled at him with a face full of YD: "Boss, you are really energetic and talented!"

"ah?"

"One-to-two, all night, you can hear women crying early in the morning."

"roll!"

Kicking at Ackerman, Todd cursed secretly in his heart: You are so energetic, I almost fell into the coffin last night!

Sitting in his seat, Todd looked at the people in the hall, and first asked Alfonso, "Where is the enemy now?"

"They camped ten kilometers north of the tribe."

"How many troops are there?"

"The regular army has more than 300 people, and the servant army is about 800 people."

Ackerman whistled: "These troops are almost the entire reserve force of the Kingdom of Ulster."

Casper frowned and suggested: "Can the civilians be organized to retreat to the south? This way our main force will not have any worries when they start fighting."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Alfonso explained: "There is an enemy cavalry unit patrolling the forest in the south. If we want to organize the civilians to retreat, we will definitely be attacked by this group of cavalry."

Todd said: "Then we are facing a difficult problem now. This war needs to divide the troops, one is responsible for attacking the enemy army, and the other is responsible for defending the camp."

Alfonso said with a bit of a headache: "The key lies in the distribution of troops."

Speaking of this, Todd suddenly asked Ackerman: "Is there no news about the weapons and armor from the south?"

The latter shook his head.

"Right now, the enemy's cavalry has blocked the access to the south. This batch of equipment cannot be counted on in this war." Todd rubbed his chin with his hands, feeling a little helpless.

Alfonso reminded Todd: "Now we only have 28 guard knights, 200 gladiators, and 100 barbarian fighters. We barely have an army of 400 people."

Todd repeatedly assessed the strength of the enemy and us, and finally decided: "Alfonso, you lead the Knights of the Guards; Caspar, you bring two hundred gladiators. Alfonso is the army commander, and Caspar is the adjutant. The two of you are responsible for attacking the enemy camp."

Alfonso hesitated a bit: "Your Majesty... Chief, in this way, there will only be a hundred barbarian warriors left in the camp, and the defensive facilities such as walls and arrow towers have not yet been built, and the rear army is too weak. Or should I leave a team of knights to assist in the defense?"

"If we want to win this war, the key lies in one word - fast." Todd said seriously: "Our biggest disadvantage lies in supplies. The enemy has seen that our camp is not stable, and their strategy is obviously 'surround and not attack'. As long as they block the southern passages and coastal shoals, they can completely block our sources of food and supplies. Therefore, a quick battle is our only way out."

Seeing that Alfonso was still waiting to persuade, Todd continued: "A team of knights cannot have a decisive impact on the entire battle situation. Instead of balancing the combat power, it is better to use good steel on the blade and defeat the enemy's main force in one fell swoop. Besides, it is not easy for a group of wandering cavalry to occupy this camp."

Seeing that Todd had made up his mind, Alfonso stopped persuading him.

Todd led the people in the room to discuss the next tactical arrangements and logistical support, and finally announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Before leaving, he said to Alfonso: "After lunch today, bring all your guard knights to me. Remember, bring your keels!"

Back in the small building, Todd saw that Rachel was busy tidying up the lobby on the first floor.

Tables, chairs and decorations were put into other rooms one after another, various experimental equipment were placed on large wooden tables, and a variety of samples of abilities were placed on wooden shelves.

The originally spacious and bright living space suddenly seemed overcrowded.

Seeing Todd come back, Rachel wiped the sweat from her brow and complained, "It used to feel like home, but now it's your laboratory again."

While checking the integrity of the experimental equipment, Todd replied with a smile: "When this battle is over, I will organize people to build a larger small building in the camp, dedicated to heterogeneous experiments."

Todd took out a small lead box from the wooden box, and said to Rachel, "Do you still remember what happened in the Kingdom of Shadows? This box contains the poison from that time."

Rachel glanced at the amber stone in the box and took a step back.

"Usually as long as the box is closed and placed in a low temperature place, there will be no problems." Todd closed the box.

The two arranged the laboratory on the first floor, and after a simple lunch, Alfonso and his men rushed to the door of the small building.

Todd stored the keel parasites from the guard knights into wooden barrels filled with culture fluid, and asked Rachel to use "mind force" to put these barrels one by one.

Then, Todd prepared all the experimental equipment and began to upgrade all the keel parasites with Tyrant.

"In a cold place like the northern border, the keel that likes to be warm will have low activity." Todd said, while injecting the tyrant virus and freezing bacteria into the keel: "And this black substance can assemble the cold-resistant genes of the frozen bacteria into the keel. Not only that, but it can also make the keel absorb the cold air from the outside and spray it out through the secretory glands, freezing the enemy."

Rachel watched the black liquid in the needle gradually enter the parasite's body, and asked curiously: "You said that these substances are poisons, wouldn't this kill the worms?"

"What's interesting is that these black liquids are poison for intelligent creatures, but for parasites, they are the key to evolution." Todd picked up another bottle of culture solution, pointed to the substance inside and said, "These are 'regeneration' bacteria, and they are injected into the keel together with the black substance. It can increase the growth and change speed of the keel without reducing the hardness of the parasite, making the keel biological armor change into various forms."

After implanting the supernatural genes of "Enhanced Freezing" and "Enhanced Regeneration" into the keel, Todd pointed to a protrusion on the parasite and said: "This parasite is called a "hive". It can send out signals by shaking the vocal sac to communicate with the same kind around it."

Rachel nodded: "I've heard a little about the 'Shouwang Town Massacre', but when I first learned that they can be used as a communication tool, I was still taken aback."

"Although this kind of parasite can keep the successors in touch with each other, it has two biggest drawbacks. First, the signal sent out is transmitted by sound waves, which is easy to be heard by the enemy, which is not conducive to concealment; second, the signal sent decreases with the increase of distance. Generally, about 50 meters is the limit of signal transmission."

Todd took out another bottle of culture fluid and said excitedly: "However, thanks to the discovery of the tyrant virus, I found a solution to the problem. This bottle of culture fluid is filled with bacteria with the ability of "sonic vibration". This ability can reduce the frequency of sound, making the sound as a weapon."

Rachel asked suspiciously: "I also know this ability. It can make the enemy faint and even shatter human organs. However, how does it match with hive parasites?"

"The enhanced and upgraded "sonic shock" ability gene, after being assembled on the "hive parasite", can reduce the vibration frequency of the parasite's vocal sac to about 17 Hz, forming infrasonic waves."

"Infrasound?" Rachel's face was clouded.

"Infrasound is also a kind of sound wave, but its vibration frequency is less than 20 times per second, which is lower than the frequency that human ears can receive sound waves (human ears accept sound waves at a frequency of 20-20,000 Hz, and frequencies above 20,000 Hz are called ultrasonic waves). Similar to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and thunderstorms, infrasound waves are produced. Although humans cannot hear them, they can cause harm to human bodies."

Rachel was a little strange: "Since it is sound, how can it cause harm to the body?"

"The frequency of infrasound waves is very close to the natural frequencies of human organs (the natural frequencies of human organs are 3-17 Hz, such as the natural frequency of the head is 8-12 Hz, and the natural frequency of abdominal internal organs is 4-6 Hz). When infrasound waves act on the human body, human organs are prone to resonance. If the power is large enough, it will cause dysfunction or even damage to human organs."

"oh……"

The expression on Rachel's face can only be described by the word "dazed".

"It has extremely strong penetrating power, extremely long transmission distance, and very little energy attenuation. Therefore, it can be used as a tool for long-distance transmission of signals. However, the sound wave power of the honeycomb must be controlled within a certain range, otherwise it will form an infrasonic shock and cause damage to the successor's body..."

Hearing this, Rachel had no idea what Todd was talking about, but this did not prevent her from looking at the person concerned with adoring and fiery eyes.

After a whole day of debugging and maintenance, twenty-eight pairs of "keel parasites" have been upgraded.

The gene of the freezing ability makes the keel resistant to cold and can release cold air; the gene of the regeneration ability allows the keel to quickly repair and change shape.

As for the ability gene of "sonic shock", it completely evolved the sound waves emitted by the hive parasites into infrasound waves, which not only greatly enhanced the communication distance, but also effectively avoided obstacles.
