The Garrison and the Search Section 1 jointly issued martial law and temporarily blocked the south gate of Crossbell.

Bright yellow barricades of warning barricades surged out in waves across the Ursla interway.

Black-uniformed guards set up heavy weapons between the waves of barricades.

No matter how many unsatisfactory things the old armored vehicles of the garrison are, the fact that the garrison will use this vehicle shows that it does have certain advantages and can be useful on some occasions.

Now, for example, its sturdy armor has become a huge headache for the garrison. In the face of that kind of armor, unless it is an armored weapon, there is too little room for other weapons to play.

Sonia pushed her glasses down, and her vision drifted in the direction of Santa Ulsla Medical University.

Of course, she could see nothing but the nervous backs of the soldiers of the garrison. Human eyesight is limited, and the armored convoy has not yet arrived, so naturally it is impossible to see.

The sightings were provided by the driver of the Steering Bus, who was blocked by a dense fleet of armoured vehicles on his way back from the Medical University of Santa Ursla. Originally, he thought it was some kind of drill of the garrison, but he couldn't see a single person in the thin white mist, and he immediately contacted the guerrilla association. Subsequently, the Guerrilla Association contacted Deputy Commander Sonya.

Next to Deputy Commander Sonia was a man with long dark blue hair, wearing a reddish-brown coat, a scar on his face, a sword with him, and a windy temperament.

Crossbell's Patron Saint, Sword of the Winds, Rank A Guerrilla, Arios Marklyin.

Sonia didn't feel that the Wind Sword Saint could stop the armored convoy on his own, but Sonia was confident that as long as he stood here, the citizens would not be worried.

It's an almost fanatical cult mentality. Convinced that the guerrillas could solve all incidents, as long as they were dispatched, there would be no problem.

The Wind Sword Saint's face was grim, his eyes were squinted, and he asked Sonia about some armored vehicle specifications from time to time, and Sonia also knew that now was not the time to keep it secret, not to mention that the new armored car would be used in the future, and it was not too much of a problem for the details of the old model to be revealed to the Wind Sword Saint.

"Huh? Is this a party? It's so good, I want it too! ”

In the midst of a scene that was so heavy that it was uncomfortable just to stand there, a discordant voice suddenly mixed in.

The bare-chested man walked from the square towards Sonia with a cheerful smile of indifference.

Seeing his face, the Sword of the Wind Saint Arios subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

Lanster.

One of the bodyguards of the Karuman consortium.

Among the three bodyguards of the Karumon Consortium, Arios is the only one who does not have an absolute chance of winning.

At this time, he reached out to put his arm around Sonya's shoulder, but Second Colonel Sonia frowned slightly, and made a wrong step without moving, avoiding it.

Ranster shrugged his shoulders casually, put his hands in binoculars, and looked south like the two of them.

"I said, what's up to the south?"

"There's your favorite thing."

The person who answered Lancet was neither Sonia nor Arios.

The bald man in a thick fur coat walked up to Lanster with a wicked smile, and when Lanster saw this, he stood up as if he were in the army, and said, "Boss." ”

The person who came was none other than the current head of the Karuman consortium, Karuman Haas. He was followed by the recently added bodyguard, Dio.

The Wind Sword Saint's brow furrowed even tighter.

The Karumen consortium is getting more and more incomprehensible to him.

In particular, Lancet and this newcomer are a little too mysterious.

Lancet has overwhelming strength, and even the Sword Saint of the Wind himself feels that if he really makes a move, he will lose more and win less. This newcomer can also see that his combat quality is not bad, his physical training is very high, and he has a lot of actual combat experience in terms of breathing and movement.

Why is such an outstanding talent unknown?

Neither Lancet, nor this newcomer, nor Arios knew him.

It's strange, as if a student of politics knows Prime Minister Osborne, even if he doesn't know him. With such a powerful warrior, there is no reason why the Sword Master of the Wind would not know.

(Note: Prime Minister Osborne, a reformist politician of the Erebonian Empire, nicknamed the Iron Prime Minister, was a hard-line politician.) ）

There is only one possibility, that is, they are "hidden by the snow" or "consciously hiding themselves".

Arios shook his head slightly, clearing the distractions out of his mind. Now is not the time to get your heart into this kind of thing. It is not clear whether the Karumen consortium came over this time as friend or foe.

Without waiting for Arios to ask, Dio had already taken the lead and explained: "Deputy Commander Sonia, Your Excellency the Sword of the Wind, is named Dio, and is now the bodyguard of the Karumon Consortium. When you meet for the first time, please advise. ”

This polite attitude made Sonia and Arios stunned, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Dior was so polite, but it made it difficult for the two of them.

"My employer, Mr. Karumen, has heard that an armored convoy has attacked Crossbell in the territory of the Autonomous Region, and in order not to affect business, I have come to assist you in preparing for this place."

Dio said, saluting Sonia unpretentiously, with standard movements and neatness, as if he had come from an army somewhere.

Sonia secretly praised the young man in her heart. This person made a very good impression on her. Like an ideal soldier, humble, confident, and powerful. I wonder when Noelle will grow to this level?

"Second Colonel Sonya, the armored convoy is still about 700 sub-miles away from here."

From the cordon of the garrison, Dudley Investigator approached with a serious face.

Sonia also took her eyes back from Dior, wondering what to do.

Even the wise Deputy Commander Sonia felt that this time was too tricky.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ranster jumped lightly, stood on the small crossbar of the barricade, and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he asked, "Dior, if it's an object the size of 20 miles, can you snipe it?" ”

"No problem. Within 1200 sub-distances, it will not miss. ”

The two of them talked to themselves, and as soon as Dio reached behind him, the members of the Karumen consortium, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately opened the carry-on box and took out a large black sniper rifle.

No, this is not a sniper rifle.

Second Colonel Sonia could tell its true identity at a glance.

Anti-materiel rifles.

Anti-materiel rifles and sniper rifles are similar, but serve completely different purposes. The main target of sniper rifles is people, while the main targets of anti-materiel rifles are all kinds of materials, as well as combat vehicles and armored vehicles.

Dio held the weapon, which was almost as large as himself, in his arms. There is no lying on the ground like a regular sniper to keep the muzzle stable. Instead, he squatted down slightly, as if he wanted to use his body as a pedestal.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

Dudley asked in displeasure. Like Noelle, he has no affection for these arms dealers who sell "war and death" in various countries.

"Of course, to be the savior!"

Lancet said in a tone that could not be questioned.

It sounded strange, but Ranster was serious.

"Dior, aim for the ten in the second row and blow up its core engine for me - of course, don't really blow it up."

Ranster crossed over to Carrumen Haas and ordered his companion directly. Karumon doesn't care, he's a businessman, and it's better to be less involved if he's not an expert in combat matters.

Dio answered, carefully adjusted the scope, and actually held the anti-materiel rifle and fired like that!

The smell of gunsmoke made Dudley cough out at once, and he was the closest to Dior, and the result was also the most suffered. The weapons of the Karuman Consortium are mainly gunpowder-type, and the more powerful the weapon, the heavier the smell of gunsmoke.

Without setting up the tripod, the recoil of the rifle made the not very strong man fly upside down, to be exact, after Dior fired, he reflexively jumped by recoil, and then pounced to the side, rolled on the spot, and adjusted his posture.

This is a reflex action characteristic of Dior. After shooting, if it is a master of the same level, it will be the first to find itself and launch a counterattack, so after shooting, you must immediately flee from your sniper point. No matter how confident Dior is in his sniping skills, he firmly believes that there are people outside the human world - such as Lancet, if the target of the sniper is him, I am afraid that he will catch the bullet in his hand when it is about to hit him. Moreover, even if it really hits, I'm afraid it won't be able to hurt Lancet.

The orange-red bullets swirled and tore apart the air, forcibly pulling them into a spiral of air, and the bullets seemed to penetrate the armored vehicle made of fog and disappear into the limit of human vision.

In the distance, the front of each armored car left a black hole in the bullet marks, and the faint white smoke drifted backwards with the wind, shattering on the glass.

After gliding forward with the potential energy for a while, the armored convoy came to a halt in unison.

"Now, the great hero Lancet saved the world! Bell Bell ~ Bell ~~~"

Lancet smiled childlike as he spoke something that no one understood.

Dio held the anti-materiel rifle in his arms and groped for it as if he had carefully confirmed, presumably discovering that the gun needed to be adjusted and improved.

Carrumen Haas was shocked to see that the armoured convoy had really been stopped. As a qualified businessman, Karumen immediately put away his surprise and said with a smile: "How, Deputy Commander Sonia." Now that the crisis is over, we will retire first. If it's just an armored vehicle, you can handle it yourself, right? ”

――――――――――――――――――――

"Oops, we actually stopped together. It's spectacular, isn't it? ”

A cunning voice reminiscent of a fox asked.

"How does Lao Tzu know...... You're an eyesore with four eyes......"

The lazy voice without enthusiasm said lightly, as if even the matter of "anger" had been given up because it was too troublesome.

"Well, don't say that. I admire Mr. Vincent. ”

“……”

Perhaps tired of answering, the man in the delicate red suit took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out of his pocket, and put it back in his pocket. There is no intention of giving a cigarette to the other side at all.

"Well, that, sir, smoking is not allowed in the mall......"

The clerk's weak voice sounded. only to get a cold snort from Vincent.

The clerk could only smile and pretend not to see it. Now Vincent, there was a clear look of displeasure on his face.

However, he did not pull out the lighter in the end.

"Mr. Vincent, was you going to help? If the Karuman consortium doesn't make a move. ”

Li Cao suddenly asked a key question.

"I'm not interested, I'm here to buy cigarettes - you can only buy two cigarettes per person...... It's stupid. ”

Vincent's figure blended into the store's deserted merchandise counter and disappeared around the corner of the cigarette counter.

"Lee, do you want to win over that person?"

"Wooing? You can't win over people who can only see hatred. ”

Li Cao said something that didn't know what he meant, and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"But can you make someone who hates the madness to this extent? Who is it? - Liu, let's investigate when we go back. ”

"Yes."

"Arnold, what do you two need?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, give me a cigarette that gentleman bought just now."
