Chapter 155: Let's Make a Deal
"Hello viewers, it's ABC special news time, I'm over Manhattan right now, and I'm right down to Central Park, and I've just received word that a demon has been spotted here again, and we're going to broadcast it live for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Oh, look, it's 10 o'clock, there's a situation over there, quick, get over there."
The camera follows the host's command to a corner of the park, where the Delacourt Theatre is located, the open-air theater that hosts Shakespeare's plays every summer is now a carnival venue for the orcs of hell, where countless sheep-headed men chase innocent tourists, brutally chopping off their heads with long scythes and hanging them around their waists, while a giant minotaur wields a giant axe and cuts off a stone pillar next to the stage.
As the orcs of hell, their master, the Great Demon King Azazler, did not give them a clear goal, but only sent someone to tell them before setting off, go and vent to their heart's content, so the crazy killing appeared in the center of Manhattan.
"Oh my God, these poor people, with the exorcism in New York City during the previous period, although someone will come to rescue them in a while, the casualties will still not be a small number, let's all pray for them." The host was at a safe height, wiping tears that didn't exist at all.
The demons, who were venting their killing instincts, didn't notice that in the woods next to the theater, a group of black shadows were moving here at high speed.
Whoosh, a crossbow bolt plunged into a sheep's head, and a group of plainly dressed witchers swooped out of the woods, striking the demons head-on and causing them a little panic.
"Oh my God, look at what we're seeing, a new group of Guardians are holding back these demons, who are they, let's zoom in."
The sound coming from the TV attracted the attention of the old man sitting in front of the TV, who closed the book in his hand, put one hand on his cheek, and watched the TV with interest.
The orcs, tried and tested in hell, were not defeated by a surprise attack, and the remaining sheep-headed demons gathered together in the loud shouts of the three minotaurs, wielding wide weapons to block the crossbow arrows fired at vital points.
Seeing that the orcs were prepared, the witchers quickly dispersed to find concealment, and the perennial battle with the demons made them lose their reckless character and fight the orcs of hell in a wide environment? They want to live two more years.
However, contrary to their expectations, the orcs did not attack immediately, but instead demolished the surrounding buildings under the leadership of the leading minotaurs, and established a defensive line around the theater stage.
Hansel hid behind a tree and frowned at the orc opposite, "What's going on. ā
The other demon hunters shook their heads, they hadn't fought against organized demons in a long time, and they didn't know much about the habits of their enemies.
"Stupid, hurry up, they're expanding the hell passage!" Two papal knights rushed out from behind the witcher and took the lead in attacking the demon's defenses.
The demon hunters were shocked, and the Holy See knights, who were extremely powerful in their hearts, were so alarmed, then the enemy's follow-up must be extraordinary.
Seeing the demon hunters rushing out of cover and attacking the demons at any cost, the cameras in the sky were also aimed at them, "Look, what valiant warriors, they are using their fragile bodies to attack the demon's defenses, oh my God, that warrior has been slashed with a scythe, it's too dangerous, let's bless them in front of the TV." ā
Listening to the fake concern of the host on the TV, which was actually an act of pulling ratings for his own TV station, the old man sitting in front of the TV smiled slightly, he was more interested in the situation on the battlefield.
"It seems that this new group of people is a little out of tune with the Holy See, hehe, interesting, then I'll give you a little test."
As the words fell, the room was suddenly silent, except for the TV playing and a single couch across from it, on which was a book with "A History of the United States" written on the cover.
In a grove outside Washington sits a two-story villa, surrounded by a high wall, with a camera scanning vigilantly at intervals and sporadic men in black suits patrolling the yard.
A middle-aged man with silver hair was sitting in the living room of the villa watching TV, the news was playing on the TV, and Mr. President appeared in the frame, giving a speech to the camera with a serious expression: "... The whole of America is indeed under some threat now, but just like since the founding of the country, the British, the Germans, the Japanese, the Soviets, we have always faced various threats at different times, but we have never been afraid of threats, because each threat makes us stronger, and now we have very strong allies who are helping us to remove this threat, and I hope that everyone will face up to the difficulties in front of us like me, and work together to save it..."
Bang, the TV was suddenly turned off, and the silver-haired man threw the remote control on the ground fiercely, and cursed in his mouth: "This liar, thief, what qualifications do you have to lead the whole United States, look at the good things you have done, this demon is all caused by your cowardly policy, if we mobilized the army to use heavy weapons, this problem would have been solved long ago, and we still need to find people all over the world to help, so that the whole world can see our jokes." ā
A burst of applause rang out behind him, he stood up sharply and looked behind him, who, there were two heavily armed bodyguards outside the door, no one quietly crossed them behind him, but this impossible thing happened.
A kind old man stood there and put down his hands, and said to him with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I don't have any ill intentions, but I just saw a poor man and couldn't help but want to help him." ā
The silver-haired man quietly pressed a button on his cuff and asked, pretending to be confused, "Who are you, and who are the poor people?" ā
"Hehe, you don't need to call your subordinates, I just came in through the main entrance, and they all know it." The old man walked over to the couch beside the man, turned to him and said, "Don't mind if I sit down." After speaking, he sat down directly, and greeted the man like a master, "Come, sit." ā
The man swallowed and spat, according to the normal situation, the bodyguards outside should have swarmed in by now, but in fact, there was no movement outside the door at all, and he couldn't help but leave beads of sweat from his sideburns when he thought of the demons and humans with various skills shown on the TV.
He sat down stiffly and asked tremblingly, "What the hell do you want to tell me?" ā
"Oh, I just want to ask you, as a vice president who has served two consecutive terms, don't you want to go further? Especially if you are so bold and energetic, why can't you lead the United States to a tough counterattack so that all mankind can see the true strength of the world's number one power? ā
The man licked his lips, such superficial words should have made him scoff, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart persuading him, listen to what he said, since he can come to you unconsciously, maybe there is something more peculiar about it, anyway, you have already fallen into his hands, why not listen to it.
"Y-what the hell do you mean?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, I just want to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"I'll let you get into that seat, and all you have to do is help me find something, it's easy."
"You're specific."
"As you wish." ......
