Chapter 1845 Borrowing a knife to kill
Hearing Cole's report, the faces of everyone at the scene couldn't help but change, and a look of worry flashed in everyone's eyes.
You can't help but worry, the treasure hidden by the Knights Templar in this hall is so amazing that once the news gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and it will be enough to make everyone crazy!
Different from everyone's reaction, Ye Tian laughed softly, looking very relaxed.
He glanced at the crowd at the scene, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Roger, Cole, those Turks finally can't help but make a move, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, I've been secretly guessing before that it's the Turks or the Russians who will be the first to strike!
It's better to be Turkish, for us, it's not a bad thing to fight the Turks, but it's a good thing, so that we have enough reason to stop the guys from outside from entering the castle.
The Turks came from Northern Cyprus, but here it was Southern Cyprus, the territory of the Greeks, and the hostile relations between the two peoples had lasted for centuries and could be called incompatible.
Since the severe ethnic bloodshed of 1974, Cyprus has been divided in two, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has been formed to the north, which has made all the Greeks on the island grit their teeth with hatred!
Wouldn't it be foolish if they didn't make good use of this life-and-death contradiction? Cole, you should immediately inform the Cypriot police and the UN peacekeepers of the movements of those Turks.
Next, let the Cypriot police and the UN peacekeeping force come forward to solve the problem for us, you just need to guard this ancient castle, and no one will be allowed to break into the ancient castle without my permission.
You can use the exchange of fire with the Turks as an excuse to deny entry to the castle by the mayor of Larnaca and the bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church, as well as the Martyrdom and the Portuguese Jesuits.
Also, let the three medium helicopters in Larnaca take off at once to support and meet us at this castle, our exploration here is nearing the end and it's time to prepare for evacuation!"
"Okay, Steven, don't worry, we'll guard this castle, don't even think a fly flying into it!"
Cole replied in a deep voice, his tone being categorical.
After the call with Cole ended, Ye Tian immediately said loudly to everyone at the scene:
"Guys, everyone speed up a little, the situation on the ground is getting more and more tense, and we don't have much time left to work slowly.
They are already fighting the Turks, and Russian gangsters, Larnaca police, Greeks, and others could join in at any time.
Before these scheming men break into the castle, we're going to get rid of everything the Knights Templar is hiding here and register it all.
You don't have to be too careful when cleaning up the leftovers, as long as they are not Christian relics, just clean up the dust and moss, and count the quantities, and the identification will be done later!
As for security, don't worry, Cole and Leonardo will stop those guys outside the castle, and no one will want to break into the castle, let alone break into this hall!"
"Understood, Steven"
Everyone at the scene responded in unison, and then continued to work, cleaning up the remaining things in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent, who was standing next to him, whispered:
"Steven, in ten minutes at most, a chartered flight from the Vatican will land at Larnaca International Airport, and then take a shuttle bus to the castle to support us.
We only need to hold out for another half hour, and fifty heavily armed Swiss Guards will arrive, and by that time, the ruined medieval castle will be impregnable.
In addition, His Holiness the Pope and the Vatican's diplomatic service have been active for a long time, contacting various forces and putting pressure on the Cypriot authorities and the United Nations to ensure our safety."
"It would be great if the Vatican support staff could arrive as soon as possible, but we can't completely count on them, so we still have to do some preparation to make sure nothing goes wrong.
You go ahead and clean up the rest of the hall, and I'll go up the corridor and restore all those traps, and set up some new traps, maybe they'll be useful later!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was still very relaxed, and he couldn't see a trace of nervousness.
Then, he turned and left the hall deep underground, and went to the corridor above to set a trap.
Bishop Kent and David continued to be busy, cleaning up the rest of the hall, everything going on in a tense and orderly manner.
At the same time, outside the castle is a different world.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The deafening sound of gunfire rang out incessantly, and it rained down like rain throughout the castle.
Behind the castle, several armed security guards were firing at the Turks hiding in a grove of trees outside the castle, leaning on the ruined walls of the medieval castle.
According to the principle of firefighting formulated by Ye Tian, several armed security personnel guarding this side, although they spotted the Turks who had sneaked up and tried to infiltrate the castle very early, they did not open fire immediately.
As with all previous fires, they first issued a loud warning, and immediately identified the Turks hiding in the woods, and pointed out where they were hiding.
Upon discovering that their deeds were revealed, the Turks immediately chose to open fire and try to break into the medieval castle, and a fierce gun battle ensued.
As soon as the fire began, the two Turks, who had already been secretly targeted by the snipers, were immediately bombarded in the head by a sniper rifle bullet and fell directly into hell.
The rest of the Turks were pressed back into the woods by a wave of crazy bullets in a blink of an eye, and they didn't even have a chance to rise, so they could only raise their assault rifles in their hands and blindly shoot at the castle!
In front of the castle, as soon as the gunshots rang out, Cole and Leonardo led a large number of armed security personnel to quickly retreat into the castle and blocked the gate of the castle with a fire truck.
The mayor of Larnaca and the Greek Orthodox Church, who were stopped outside the castle gates, fled to the place where the convoy was located in a hurry, protected by a large number of Cypriot police, to avoid possible flying bullets.
As for the guys who were stopped outside the first cordon, when they heard the rapid gunshots, they immediately scattered and fled, each looking for a place to hide, just in case!
Most of them are religious and outlaws who are very old and licking blood from the knife edge, and many of them are not young, so what other options do they have in the face of such a dangerous situation?
Even though they were devout believers and clergy, and even religious fanaticals, they wanted to find the Christian relics in the Knights Templar's treasures, but they were nothing compared to life!
After retreating safely to the castle, Leonardo immediately stepped forward and informed the Cypriot police and UN peacekeepers of the situation of the Turks.
Hearing that there were Turkish soldiers from Northern Cyprus here, the Cypriot police and the UN peacekeepers were taken aback and quickly took action to outflank the Turkish soldiers.
A few minutes later, the gunfire outside the castle suddenly became more intense.
But the two sides of this exchange of fire are no longer the security personnel and Turkish soldiers under Ye Tian, the Cypriot police and the United Nations peacekeeping force have replaced the security personnel under Ye Tian and directly confronted the Turks!
Just when these two groups of people were shooting frantically and fighting each other, in the city of Larnaca, not far from the castle, three medium-sized helicopters had already taken off and flew straight towards this medieval castle.
At Larnaca International Airport, a large charter plane from Rome, Italy, landed on the runway, taxied for some distance, and then landed firmly in the middle of the runway.
As soon as the large passenger plane came to a stop, the cabin door was opened from the inside before the ramp arrived, and it seemed a little impatient.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen high-ranking clergymen and diplomats from the Vatican, as well as fifty members of the Swiss Guard, who were armed with guns, led by two cardinals, rushed out of the cabin and stepped off the plane!
At this time, if someone comes close to observe, then they will definitely find that these guys from the Vatican are all very excited, and everyone has a feverish fire burning in their eyes!
As soon as these guys landed, more than two dozen military vehicles came in two columns and galloped from the entrance to the airport apron to meet these guys!
Without exception, all these military vehicles have the Union Jack on them, and there are several armored personnel carriers!
And at a British sovereign military base not far from Larnaca, several military medium helicopters also took off one after another, carrying a large number of loaded special operations elites, heading straight for Larnaca!
