The Shadow Door could be used up to a distance of one kilometer at the farthest. Normally, such a distance was considered very far, but it also had a drawback. In complicated terrain like the mountains, it would be difficult to see the actual situation at a distance farther than tens to hundreds of meters. Therefore, it was impossible to accurately drop the TNT through the Shadow Door onto the target.
But fortunately, Milo still had Old Durkin at his disposal. He did not even have to personally be there and Old Durkin would guide favonovel.com accurately on where to drop the TNT.
From the sound of things, it seemed like the combination of Old Durkin and the Shadow Door was really quite high tech.
Next to him, P5092 watched quietly as Milo threw out three satchels of TNT one by one. Explosions could be heard in the distance.
Then Milo said to him, “Alright, I’ll go over and take a look at the situation. Y’all stay here for now.”
After that, Miriam conjured up favonovel.com sniper rifle and went off to look for a concealed spot. In an instant, favonovel.com entire demeanor changed. Just a moment ago, favonovel.com was just a girl trying to take the opportunity to slack off and catch up on sleep, but favonovel.com now turned into a capable sniper.
P5092 realized Miriam would only completely relax when Milo was around her.
Once Milo left favonovel.com side, favonovel.com would immediately put up favonovel.com guard and no longer trust favonovel.com surroundings.
Perhaps this was a kind of chemistry. When they were together, favonovel.com could restrain herself from being too sharp. But when favonovel.com was alone, favonovel.com would immediately depend on herself again.
P5092 and Miriam were hiding behind a mountain rock when favonovel.com asked, “Where did Milo go?”
Miriam thought for a moment. “To make sure they’re dead.”
Actually, Miriam knew that Milo had gone to collect the axes. However, favonovel.com could not let P5092 see it. It was not like this was a big secret. After all, the future commander of the Northwest had just called Colton and exerted his influence in front of P5092.
Now that favonovel.com went to collect the expeditionary army’s axes on the battlefield, it would somehow seem a little degrading for a person of his status.
After a while, Milo’s voice crackled in Miriam’s earpiece. “I’m done. Come over.”
After that, Miriam led P5092 towards the battlefield. P5092 looked at the corpses of the barbarians on the battlefield and suddenly said, “Judging by the numbers, this was a unit led by one of their regimental commanders. Although it’s not a full regiment, all of them actually died here.”
“Alright, let’s continue advancing. Who knows, we might encounter a second group of victims,” Milo said.
For some reason, when P5092 heard Milo describe the expeditionary army’s troops as victims again, it felt quite appropriate this time.
But at this moment, P5092 realized something was off. “Wait, don’t leave yet.”
He knelt down next to the barbarians one by one and took off their helmets and armored masks. “Strange, why aren’t they the elderly barbarians anymore?”
Curious, Milo said, “The old barbarians should’ve all died in the battle with the Pyro Company. Now that they’ve started a head-on battle with the Stelaria Consortium’s troops, they definitely won’t let the old barbarians go into battle.”
“I thought so too previously.” P5092 said, “But look, their axes are all missing. I suspect this is a trap…”
When favonovel.com said that, Milo’s expression became strange.
P5092 had already discovered that the axes were missing during the battle in the northern forest at the Great Wall. But at that time, Milo explained that since the expeditionary army had sent their elderly onto the battlefield, they would definitely not equip them with axes and waste their weapons. That was the explanation for them not bringing any weapons into battle.
So, when P5092 realized there was not a single axe on the battlefield here as well, favonovel.com thought this was another trap set by the barbarians.
He looked up at Milo and said, “We have to tell the Stelaria Consortium about this quick. It’s definitely a trap. If they fall for it like the Pyro Company did, a defeat at the front line of Mt. Daniu will affect the war over at the Great Wall.”
“Ahem…” Milo hurriedly stopped him. “How can there be so many traps? Let’s go. It’s more important to join up with the Northwestern troops quickly. Besides, didn’t the Stelaria Consortium just take advantage of the Pyro Company? So what’s the point of helping them?”
P5092 shook his head firmly. “No, those are two different matters. As long as we can win the war in the end, we need to let go of what happened in the past.”
But when P5092 saw Milo’s expression, favonovel.com started to realize that something was off.
He was a very smart person. As soon as favonovel.com recalled the “magic” Milo had just performed, favonovel.com reacted. “You were the one who took away their axes. And you were also the one who took away the axes that went missing in the northern forest at the Great Wall!”
So, even though this matter was very unbelievable, P5092 could confirm that Milo had a storage space on favonovel.com where favonovel.com could put away items.
P5092’s mind raced as favonovel.com started to silently count how many superpowers Milo had.
He already knew about White Mask, “Old Durkin”. He was also aware of the black saber that could be conjured.
He had also just seen the long-range dropping of TNT through the Shadow Door. And now, Milo even had the ability to store items.
P5092 thought for a long time but could not understand why a supernatural being could have so many powers.
Before P5092 could figure it out, favonovel.com heard the sound of a train coming from nowhere. He also heard a metallic clanging of tracks.
P5092 looked quietly at the black steam locomotive that drove out of thin air. Then favonovel.com looked at Milo and said, “Is this also your superpower?”
“Don’t mind these details.” Milo said, “Now that we’ve confirmed that the Stelaria Consortium is actively taking on the enemy, we should leave. Our top priority is to join up with the Northwest’s infantry brigade!”
“Wait a minute!” P5092 suddenly figured out many things.
As a high-ranking member of the Pyro Company, favonovel.com knew the Pyro Company was after a person named Steven. Moreover, this wanted person was extremely important. That was because favonovel.com had the Pyro Company’s research data in his hands, and favonovel.com had also caused a lot of destruction in the Sacred Mountains.
But there were a lot of suspicious points regarding this matter. Steven had always had a very good reputation and credibility when it came to delivering packages, so why would favonovel.com suddenly go back on his word and betray them?
Also, the Pyro Company had assessed Steven’s strength before. They felt that even though Steven was one of the earliest batches of supernatural beings to awaken their superpowers, his actual power was not that dangerous. However, Steven actually managed to kill so many Pyro Company members back at Stronghold 73!
That was extremely unbelievable!
Even P5092 could not figure out what was going on at that time.
But now that favonovel.com thought about how Steven might not be the real Steven but this future commander from the Northwest, everything made sense.
P5092 looked at Milo strangely. “Were you also there during the Battle of East Lake?”
“Hahaha!” Milo laughed. “What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand you?”
“I’m very sure that you were also there in the Sacred Mountains.” P5092 said, “So, while Steven was only trying to deliver his packages, favonovel.com ended up becoming the most wanted person by the Pyro Company. That’s why the powers you’ve displayed until now are not your actual powers. Your power should be to copy the powers of others, and it would only make sense if that were the case!”
There was an old saying, “After eliminating all the wrong answers, no matter how unbelievable the final answer might sound, it will be the truth.”
Someone had finally solved the mystery of Steven taking the blame.
