Chapter 1944: Hell in the Dark

No suspense!

The masked bandit, who was hiding behind the flowerbed and cursing loudly, was shot directly in the head by two rifle bullets that passed through the flowerbed at high speed, even though he hid it well, but accidentally exposed his forehead.

However, this is more than enough.

In Ye Tian's eyes, the world outside that was shrouded in darkness was no different from the day, and nothing could block his vision.

The masked bandits who attacked the windows of the inner temple were instantly pressed down by Ye Tian and them, and several masked bandits were directly killed, and the other guys had to dodge immediately.

However, the situation on the side of the Middle Temple was very different.

Compared with the battle-hardened Ye Tian and Cole, although the Vatican Swiss Guard is famous and is an elite armed force with a glorious history, it does not have much actual combat experience.

It is even certain that none of them have been involved in real combat.

The members of the Swiss Guard, all from Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, are known for their loyalty, but they have no chance to fight on the battlefield.

And they stay in the Vatican all the year round, they are responsible for protecting the pope, and in such a religious shrine, they don't even have a chance to fight criminals.

The Vatican's almost rampant thieves and crooks are not needed by the Vatican police.

Their pitiful combat experience all came from various simulated combat training, and there was a huge gap between them and actual combat.

After a round of firefighting, even though they hid in the Middle Temple and suddenly flashed out of the window to attack, occupying a geographical advantage, they were still on par with the masked bandits outside.

Under their fierce attack, the masked bandits outside were indeed caught off guard, but the members of the Swiss Guards guarding the middle temple also suffered casualties.

"Ah——!h

Several screams of pain rang out one after another from the side of the Middle Temple.

At the same time, Vatican security personnel hiding in the streets around the temple church and having been ordered to rush to support were ambushed as soon as they started their vehicles and rushed out of their streets.

Unlike the situation on the side of the temple church, these Vatican security personnel sitting in the car were like lights in the dark, directly becoming active targets, and they were instantly stunned by the opponent and paid a lot of casualties.

"Boom ......"

Several violent explosions were heard outside the church, coming from several streets around the temple church, a little farther away.

It was the sound of a grenade exploding, and the target of the attack was the vehicle in which the Vatican security personnel were outside.

Before the explosion fell, there was a sudden rain of gunfire in the distance, vaguely mixed with a scream of extreme pain.

On the side of the temple church, the sound of gunfire and screams was incessant, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke and blood, which was extremely pungent.

Suddenly, several pillar-like objects with white smoke flew out of the darkness and flew straight towards the outer walls of the inner and middle shrines of the temple church.

"Smoke bombs, everyone pay attention, the other side is trying to launch an attack with the help of smoke cover"

Cole shouted loudly, and the voice resounded throughout the temple church.

Before his voice fell, Ye Tian had already shouted loudly:

"Guys, use stun bombs and grenades, don't give those guys a chance to impact, after the stun bombs and grenades explode, immediately cover all smoke areas"

As he spoke, he took out a stun bomb, quickly pulled out the safety latch, and threw it out of the window with a shake of his hand, flying straight to the darkness more than ten meters away behind the inner temple.

At this time, the smoke bombs thrown by the masked bandits had smashed on the outer walls of the temple and inner shrine in the temple church, and then rolled to the ground, releasing a large amount of smoke.

In an instant, the outside of the inner and middle temples was already filled with smoke, and coupled with the cover of night, it was undoubtedly a very good opportunity for an assault.

But it's a pity that Ye Tian reacted in a very timely manner, and the coping strategies were also very targeted, and they were ruthless and vicious.

As soon as the smoke rose, before the masked bandits could start their actions, a number of stun bombs and round anti-personnel grenades flew out from the windows of the inner and middle temples, flying straight into the area behind the smoke.

"Boom"

Other grenades and detonation bombs were still flying in the air, and the stun bomb thrown by Ye Tian had already exploded, the sound was deafening and extremely sharp, almost piercing a person's eardrum.

Immediately after, another scream of pain came from the darkness directly behind the inner temple, coming from the masked bandits who were hiding in the darkness.

Under the huge sonic boom attack of the stun bomb, the guys all had a headache, clutched their heads and screamed, and fell into a state of vertigo.

But that was just the beginning, as more stun bombs and grenades flew in from the air and landed beside them, rolling rapidly on the ground.

"Boom Boom"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, shaking the whole of London.

In an instant, the area outside the Inner and Middle Temples, which was shrouded in darkness, directly turned into hell.

The flames were constantly shining, countless grenade fragments were shooting at high speed in all directions, wantonly harvesting lives, and the deafening sound of a huge sonic boom was almost insane!

"Ah......h

Screams of great pain and dying cries for help continued to come from the darkness and reach the ears of everyone in the temple church.

At this time, Ye Tian, as well as many armed security personnel under him, as well as many members of the Swiss Guards guarding the Middle Temple, were all close to the wall, hiding tightly, listening to the crazy killing outside the church.

The sturdy exterior walls of the temple church blocked the deadly grenade shrapnel, and also greatly weakened the sonic boom shock wave formed by the successive explosions of the stun bombs, protecting everyone staying in the church.

After a few moments, the deafening explosions finally died down, but the screams of extreme pain and even death became more numerous and more poignant.

Within ten meters or so of the walls of the inner and middle shrines, there was still smoke, and there were no fingers visible, completely shrouded in darkness.

However, none of the masked bandits could rush into the smoke, and they didn't even have the ability to stand up, let alone rush into the windows of the Inner and Middle Temples.

Beyond this smoke, about a dozen meters away from the outer walls of the Inner and Middle Temples, there was already a hell on earth shrouded in darkness!

If it was an ordinary person who happened to see the situation here, then he would definitely be scared crazy on the spot.

The heavily armed and hooded bandits, whether lying on the ground or hiding behind covers, were now scarred, with missing arms and legs, and shrapnel from grenades embedded in their bodies and heads.

Many of them have died, and they are dying in a horrible state, some of their heads have been partially cut off by shrapnel from grenades, some of their heads have been pierced by shrapnel, some of their arteries have been cut by grenade fragments, and so on.

The guys who were lucky enough to escape the grenade attack were basically bleeding from their mouths and noses and their eyes were glazed.

The successive shocking bomb attacks had completely stunned them, and their heads were almost a mess, and they would not even think about coming to their senses for a while, let alone attacking again.

Some of them, even if they wake up, may not heal from the massive trauma to their brains, and may even become idiots.

The darkened area was filled with people wailing in pain and struggling, all of which were riddled with shards of grenades, blood and corpses on the ground.

The gunfire was still intense, but it was coming from several nearby streets.

Near the outer walls of the inner and middle shrines, no one fired any more, only screams one after another.

Not only the masked bandits who were struggling on the brink of death outside, but also Ye Tian and Cole in the inner temple, as well as many members of the Swiss Guards in the middle temple, also stopped shooting temporarily.

Especially the members of the Swiss Guard from the Vatican, each of them leaning against the wall, their faces full of horror, and some of them even shivering.

Obviously, this extremely crazy and fierce bloody battle has scared them and left them with a deep memory that they will never forget.

Compared with these Swiss Guard members, Ye Tian and Cole were not afraid of each other, but they were very excited, their eyes shining brightly, and they were extremely eye-catching in the dark.

Each of them has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has experienced a lot of bloody battles of all kinds, so naturally they will not be frightened by the scene in front of them.

A smoke bomb that had previously fallen into the inner temple was thrown out by Ye Tian and rolled out on the ground, continuing to release smoke.

Almost at the same time as this smoke grenade landed, the G36C short assault rifle in Ye Tian's hand had already fired again.

Where the fire shone brightly, three hot rifle bullets had spewed out at high speed from the muzzle, through the thick smoke, and lightning towards the dark world behind the inner temple.

In the next moment, in the historical building more than fifty meters away, a guy who had just flashed out of the window and was about to fire a grenade with an assault rifle flew straight backwards as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

And his hooded head was directly exploded by three rifle bullets flying at high speed, and a flower of death bloomed in the darkness.

At the same time, another scene is playing out in the Pope's residence.

"His Majesty the Pope, the London police and British soldiers guarding the perimeter of the Temple Church have been completely routed, and there have been huge casualties, Steven and Leonardo have engaged in the fire with the masked bandits!

As soon as the security personnel we arranged around the temple church started to operate, they were subjected to crazy sniping, and they were caught off guard, and those armed security personnel also suffered a lot of losses, with heavy casualties!"

A senior Vatican friar reported the latest development, his face extremely ugly.

Hearing the announcement, the Pope suddenly stood up from the sofa as if he had been electrocuted, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"The London police and British soldiers have been routed, and the armed security personnel in charge of supporting them have also been ambushed, will Steven and Leonardo be able to withstand the attack?

The same scene was played out at Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street.

After listening to the latest briefing, the British Prime Minister, who was originally standing, sat down directly on the sofa with weak legs, and said in despair:

"How is it possible that the police and the army in London have been routed, and there have been huge casualties? I can't have heard me wrong? This is London, not a damn Afghanistan!

Who are those masked bandits, who are they so tough, what are those idiots at Customs and Scotland Yard for? How could they allow a special forces unit to infiltrate England?"
