Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 616 Nothing is more precious than a soldier's life

As Jude Mai herself said, she is indeed not good at group battles.

Even if Finkel alone was able to hold off the main force of the Deadpools, it was still difficult for Jiude Mai and Chen Runxi to deal with those scums who sneaked over.

As the rifle made a crisp sound when the trigger was pulled, the only calmness on Chen Runxi's face disappeared.

"No more bullets." He said helplessly.

Jiude Mai stepped back until she was back to back with him, and asked with a swear word: "How dare you take the Dragon Bone Cross without bringing anything with you?"

"I didn't expect that someone would be watching here." said Chen Runxi.

"No more cold weapons?"

"No." Chen Runxi knocked a Deadpool away with the butt of his gun. "It can only be said that I was careless."

"Careless? You weren't alert at all!" Jiude Mai swung continuously, and the streaks on the dagger kept forcing Deadpool back.

Black blood splattered everywhere. The two men retreated and fought, and were about to reach the door of the ice house.

The roar of a helicopter could be heard in the sky, coming closer and closer.

Schneider's voice rang out on the phone: "Fingal, I'm about to arrive!"

"Professor Schneider." Chen Runxi reported the current situation: "Fingal went to deal with those deadpools."

After a brief silence, Schneider ordered, "I will lower the rope ladder, and Jude Aki and Ye Sheng will help you deal with the trouble. Remember, the goal is to retreat safely, not to annihilate these things. The weapons I carry are limited, and the support from the academy is still on the way. The follow-up issues will be handed over to the people in the execution department."

"Professor, has your position been reinstated?" Chen Runxi asked.

"I am here as a commissioner this time," Schneider said.

The phone’s battery was completely exhausted, and the dark screen meant that Chen Runxi and Jiude Mai could only hold on until the helicopter arrived overhead.

It's a good thing for Chen Runxi, but for Jiude Mai... it's time to retreat.

"I shouldn't have helped." Jiude Mai took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I've already helped, so I won't say that anymore."

"Um... beauty, I don't know how to address you yet." Chen Runxi looked at Finkel among the group of Deadpools.

Relying on the bronze throne, Finkel rushed through the group of Deadpools, and with his violent blood flow, his physical strength was raised to a level higher than that of these ghosts.

Keren couldn't maintain his extreme state forever. His hair was stained with blood and became sticky, and his breathing became heavier.

"Jiude Mai." Jiude Mai suddenly stopped her attack, and the two short swords in her hands underwent some unknown changes. "I have to retreat first. I don't want to have anything to do with the academy, not to mention that Aki is here."

"You know Sister Aki?" Chen Runxi understood at once, "Jiu De... who are you?"

"Sisters." Jiude Mai's momentum suddenly increased.

It attracted the attention of the Deadpools and also made Finkel turn his gaze over.

The two short swords with the flash of blades turned into ancient swords of astonishing length, Tianyuyuzhan and Butsu Yuhun.

"Whether you live or die depends on your luck. Of course, I am still looking forward to KFC." Jiude Mai shouted to Finkel, "Stand back and help you delay for a while. Your support is coming."

Finger rushed out of the group of deadpools, and the black flame on the Han sword in his hand had long been extinguished. His steps were a little unstable, and his left knee was seriously injured because of maintaining the bronze throne for a long time.

"It seems like I should take more calcium supplements." He forced a smile and stared at the two knives in Jiude Mai's hands. "Auntie, you don't use your ultimate move. Do you really want me to die?"

"I can't use it every time." Jiude Mai put on the diving device on her head again, ready to escape at any time, "These guys were sent to steal the Dragon Cross."

"Do you know who sent it?" asked Finkel.

"Go investigate it yourself." Jiude Mai stopped talking nonsense and rushed in one direction.

Deadpool attracted a large number of people, and wherever the sword flashed, black blood splashed out to create a picture.

Such behavior did help Finkel and Chen Runxi delay for a while, but not for long.

When the helicopter arrived above the igloo, Jiude Mai followed Finkel's method, cut out a deep abyss of ice with one knife, and then jumped into the sea.

This departure also attracted a group of Deadpools.

It's just a batch, and compared to the total number of Deadpools, it's nothing more than a negligible amount.

These things were not completely unintelligent. They quickly changed direction and their target was clearly the location of the igloo.

The rope ladder of the helicopter was lowered, and Jude Aki and Ye Sheng slid down from it while continuously firing to restrict the siege of the Deadpools.

"God's soldiers descend from the sky, God's soldiers descend from the sky!" Finkel shouted, "Just the two of you?"

"At the moment, we can't let Professor Schneider come down. His body is not able to participate in the battle." Ye Sheng pulled out the pistol from his waist and threw it to Finkel and Chen Runxi.

"You should know what the situation is now, right?" Finkel asked Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki.

"I know." Aki Shutoku said, "The plan formulated by Professor Schneider is to prioritize the transfer of the bodies in the Greenland Sea."

"These guys are here for the Dragon Bone Cross." Finkel glanced at the ice house: "The academy actually chose not to prioritize the transfer of the Dragon Bone Cross."

"You guessed it right." Ye Sheng kept firing, "The academy does want to prioritize the transfer of the Dragon Bone Cross, but Professor Schneider disagrees with this approach."

"Well, they violated orders again. No wonder Professor Schneider was dismissed from his position." Finkel smiled and said, "Then we will delay it and leave the transfer to them."

"Sure." Ye Sheng replied.

There is a tacit understanding among men that women and children go first.

"Principal Beowulf, I don't think a dragon bone cross is more important than my students." Professor Schneider stood at the edge of the cabin, overlooking this race against time.

The number of deadpools is still increasing. These dragon-blood slaves emerged from the sea in all directions from an unknown source.

"Schneider, if you do this, you will most likely lose your tenured professorship." Beowulf was talking about the stakes of this matter on the other end of the phone. "If the dragon bone cross is not lost, everything is fine. If it is lost, the responsibility will be borne by you."

"I can take care of it." Schneider said calmly, "Principal Beowulf, I think you should understand how important those students who were rescued from the bottom of the sea are to me. However, I must remind you that if you don't have time to take the Dragon Cross away, you should reflect on yourself. The support from the academy is too slow."

Beowulf heard this and said with a hint of smile: "Schneider, Schneider, I have always heard that you are the iron fist of the executive department, and your hatred for dragons exceeds your care for students. It seems that these rumors are somewhat false. Since you are ready to take responsibility, I will not say more. If those politicians impeach you for this matter, I will do my best to help you."

Schneider didn't expect Beowulf to say that. After a brief silence, he said sincerely, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Compared to all this, I hope you can come back alive. The air support of the academy... was shot down by a fleet of unknown forces." Beowulf sighed, "Not only them, but also you are alive. The real war has begun. Nothing is more precious than the lives of the warriors, including a dragon bone cross."
