Chapter 674: Personally Out of the Horse
With two of his most capable men and twenty high-level modulators, Lombard felt that it was enough to take out the stubborn natives.
Although there are only twenty-two people, which is less than the size of three patrols, it is definitely not the same thing.
Lombardo's men are more powerful and proactive, rather than waiting for the enemy to attack while on patrol, so it is enough to solve the problem.
Even if they can't kill all the indigenous people, they will at least be able to stop being harassed for some time to come.
The loss of a few modulators on a patrol can only be considered harassment at best.
It's just that the result of the sweep somewhat surprised Lombardo.
Using his psychic powers, the clearance force sent by Lombard quickly found the aboriginal settlements and locked up hundreds of aborigines. It's only a matter of hours for a modulator with powerful superpowers, and the battle will soon be over. The problem is that at the beginning of the battle, Lombador lost contact with the men who sent him out, and it was a spiritual connection.
Long Ba Duozhi said that those men were ambushed, maybe they were finished!
It is important to know that the two men who commanded this operation both possessed superpowers second only to the Patriarch, and they were both combat-type modulators. Even the other twenty people are extremely strong, and they have extremely strong combat power after transformation, which is not at all something that ordinary aborigines can deal with.
Twenty-two people actually severed their spiritual ties at the same time.
It's impossible!
Even if they were ambushed and there were many enemies, they could not be killed at the same time, at least not at the same time. The greater the number of attackers, the more troublesome the coordinated attack becomes, so there is always a sequence when it comes to attacking.
As long as he is attacked, Lombard can sense it.
The problem is that he didn't perceive the attack, but only suddenly broke off mental contact with his men.
Could it be that it was not the aborigines who attacked them, but the powerful being?
More than five years ago, Long Baduo had been to the temple, had seen Chu Tianjiang, and had some understanding of Chu Tianjiang's strength. In his knowledge and memory, Chu Tianjiang was the first person who could force Feister to exert all his strength without changing his body, and he was also the most powerful existence besides Feister.
If it were him, it wouldn't be strange to kill twenty-two concoctors.
Besides, he has strong enough mental power, and he also has an Iscar with veteran-level mental control by his side. In other words, when attacking, he can control the concoctors, or have Iskar cut off the concoctors' psychic connection with the senators.
Who else has such strength besides him?
Lombard was a little nervous and a little hesitant.
If it was Chu Tianjiang, then he had to report to Holmes immediately, so that Holmes knew that the concoction field was threatened, and more people must be sent.
Of course, it is better to have a stronger existence.
You must know that even if the other two elders are counted, they may not be able to defeat Chu Tianjiang. If Chu Tianjiang knew the secrets in the bay and attacked the concoction field, even if Long Baduo and the other three elders died here, they would not be able to make up for the losses caused.
The question is, what if the attacker is not Chu Tianjiang?
Obviously, it was no less forgivable mistake to let Holmes return to the modulation field and bring in more veterans just because of a single guess.
Perhaps, the attacker was not Chu Tianjiang at all.
The reason is very simple, if Chu Tianjiang returns to the old continent and comes to the concoction field, with his spiritual power, he can easily know what the Dao Church is doing here. Obviously, he had no reason to attack a patrol, let alone ambush the modulators of the church in the hiding places of the aborigines. With his strength, he would go straight to the concoction field, kill the three senators, and then do everything possible to disrupt the ongoing concoction, even destroying the fortress before Homs arrived, instead of warning the church with such a stupid move.
If it wasn't Chu Tianjiang, who would it be?
Lombardo had a bit of a headache and even a little resentment towards Holmes.
Apparently, the attackers had very powerful superpowers, maybe they were the modulators, maybe the monsters that Holmes had created on a whim.
As a veteran concocted by Holmes himself, Lombardo has never questioned what Holmes has done, but he does not say that he approves of what Holmes has done.
Over the past few hundred years, Holmes has almost monopolized power and used it to do many things that others would think were ridiculous. For example, when she concocted the girl named Iskar, she gained the superpowers of the patriarch. There are also superpowers given to Reka. As for some of the research done by Holmes, especially the research related to superpowers, it made Lombard feel that it was too much.
If that's an uncontrolled modulator......
Lombard didn't think much of it, he knew that he had to end all this as soon as possible and let order be restored, instead of continuing to waste time on such trivial matters.
Most importantly, the attacker was definitely not Chu Tianjiang.
As long as it's not him, that's easy to say.
Lombard had enough reason to believe that in this world, except for a few existences such as Feister, there was no one more powerful than him. Although there are other patriarchs, and each patriarch has different superpowers, but in general, the patriarch's superpowers are at the same level, especially the patriarch concocted by Holmes. Compared to other modulators, the Patriarch is an invincible existence, including the experiments made by Holmes.
It must be a failed experiment, a modulator who is not controlled by the power of the psychics.
At the beginning, Holmes also sent four such concoctors to Long Baduo's hands, so that Long Baduo could use them when he encountered Chu Tianjiang, so Long Baduo knew more about these experimental objects. In addition to not being controlled by mental power, as well as some superpowers that specifically target Chu Tianjiang, Holmes has a lot of problems with their modulation, and he can't even be sure if they have other superpowers.
It was not long before Holmes ordered the disposal of all the experiments.
Although it was a few months ago, Lombardo still remembers what happened vividly.
After being threatened, the four concoctors resisted, killing hundreds of church members who had gone against them in a fraction of the time. If it weren't for Lombardo arriving at the scene in time, taking control of the situation, and taking action in person, I'm afraid the situation would get out of control. The guys were all powerful, and two of them were forced by desperation to use superpowers that Holmes didn't give them. It's a pity that their superpowers are all aimed at Chu Tianjiang, not at the elders of the church, so the threat to Long Baduo is not very big. They are powerful relative to modulators other than the Patriarch, but they are definitely no match for the Patriarch.
With this in mind, Lombador left the camp, the settlement of the Naomoto aborigines.
A distance of a few hundred kilometers is nothing at all for Lombardo.
When he arrived, the frightened aborigines were fleeing in a hurry. It's just that Lombard didn't deal with the aborigines, because there was no need for this at all.
Like the patrols that had been attacked, the twenty-two modulators he had sent were all dead, completely dead.
At the scene, there were no obvious signs of fighting, not even blood and corpses. On earth, only the Church issued a uniform for concoctions, a kind of clothing similar to military uniforms. As if evaporated, the bodies of the twenty-two concoctors were gone, not a single hair remained.
Because they are advanced modulators, they are not equipped with weapons.
For modulators with powerful superpowers, weapons have no value, but are a burden. The Modulator is a weapon in its own right, and it is the most desirable weapon.
Although there are not many traces at the scene, it can be seen that there are many attackers.
Without enough numbers, it would be impossible to attack twenty-two modulators at the same time and kill them.
Lombard frowned and slowly descended from the air.
He had seen such a scene many times in the past few months. All indications are that the attacker was definitely not alone.
What kind of monster did Holmes create?
It is important to know that none of those experimental subjects have the ability to reproduce, and it is impossible to produce enough offspring through natural breeding in just a few Yue.
Obviously, it won't be those experiments.
If the test subjects had fled in large numbers, Lombard would have received the news long ago, and Holmes would have taken action long ago.
Could it be that there is a more powerful existence in this worldly realm, such as the Doomsday Empire on the United Continent?
Although he did not participate in the war against the Doomsday Empire, nor did he go to the United Continent, Ryoba Tachi Dao has a powerful presence on the United Continent that is comparable to the Church, and has maintained a relationship with the Church for more than four years. If it weren't for Uma's arrival, the relationship would have lasted forever. The problem is, the Empire of Doom is finished.
Could it be the remnants of the Doomsday Empire?
Long Baduo felt that it was also unlikely, because it was impossible for a few survivors to have such a strong fighting power.
Could it be that Chu Tianjiang's resistance to the development of the Northern Continent was strong?
As far as Long Baduo knew, before Holmes ordered a retreat from the Northern Continent, Chu Tianjiang organized the resisters on the Northern Continent, controlled the entire Northern Continent, and transformed and modulated these people, and then used them to occupy the New World.
The problem is that this resistance is still in the New World.
Besides, if Chu Tianjiang hadn't returned, the resistance would not have come to the Old Continent, and it would have been impossible for him to be stupid enough to directly challenge the church.
Lombard was so puzzled that he didn't notice the danger nearby.
Of course, he couldn't sense the imminent danger with his mental strength.
