Chapter 73: Terrorist Attack
Pusu, the city lord's mansion.
It is a magnificent building second only to the Temple of the Sun God.
It is also the highest power gathering place in the entire Prussia.
The lord of the city and many high-ranking officials of Pusu would work here every day.
It is said that he is the lord of the city, but in fact, with the rise of the industrial revolution, he has gradually lost the power of the past.
More akin to a public opinion decision-maker.
Responsible for the management of the Department of Public Security, the Taxation Bureau, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance and other departments.
These ministries formed a small parliament that ruled over all aspects of the Pursu.
Four soldiers stood up straight in front of the white stone gate, armed with well-armed rifles.
Passers-by looked at the City Lord's Mansion, especially the tall tower in the center.
At the top of the tower, there is a large silver clock, which is glittered by the sun.
Then, they saw a black car moving at high speed from a distance.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion, stop for me!"
One soldier shouted, and all four of them clenched their rifles, ready to go.
But the black car did not stop at all, but suddenly increased its speed again.
Bang bang!
Gunfire erupted, and the four soldiers did not hesitate to shoot.
The driver suddenly lifted his hood and face towel, revealing his black skin.
His hair was tied into small braids, and his bare skin was covered with striking tattoos.
With a hideous smile on his face, he got up from the car and roared:
"For the Horde! Die, white pig! ”
Bullets were fired into its body, but it did not have the slightest fear.
Just drove the car straight into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Rumble!
Flames rose, and the four soldiers, along with the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, were shattered.
The car was loaded with a large amount of explosives, which was clearly a premeditated terrorist attack!
The roar spread over a radius of several kilometers.
The gate of the magnificent city lord's mansion turned into ruins in an instant.
The sound of the explosion drowned out everything.
When the explosion subsided, the screams of countless people around rang out.
Thousands of passers-by fled like a flood.
No one knows if there will be a second terrorist attack.
Boom!
Boom!
……
On the central tower of the City Lord's Mansion, the bell had not been ringing for a long time.
Nine bells in a row representing enemy attacks resounded throughout the city of Phusu.
Above the City Lord's Mansion, a strong black crow was hovering silently at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters.
The crow's eyes were full of human light, and he actually spoke: "Revenge of the natives......
It may sound a little husky and weird, but it is an authentic lingua franca of the Empire.
This is none other than Zoro's pet, Senu.
He used his ability to share vision, and used the magic pet's vision to observe this terrorist attack.
Senu, the demon pet, has extremely perverted eyesight.
You can easily see the faces of people on the ground thousands of kilometers below.
Coupled with its own ability to move forward, it is the strongest scout.
The body is covered with a special energy shield, somewhat similar to the optical stealth effect.
Allows light to pass through the body's surface, causing invisibility.
This is a passive ability.
As long as you don't attack, you can go on forever.
It's like a stealth plane that can't be detected by radar!
Wow!
With a flapping of his wings, he began to search around the entire city of Psu.
Black skin, tattoos.
These two conspicuous features allow crows to search the sky freely.
It's like a reconnaissance satellite!
At the same time, all city gates were under martial law.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
In the palatial halls, an emergency council has been convened.
All department heads were present.
The head of the Security Department stood up first and said angrily: "This is provoking the Empire!" Why didn't we get news from the front. What the hell did those soldiers do to make these filthy natives invade the belly of the empire again and again? ”
"Hehe, the imperial frontier defense line is tens of thousands of miles long, just with those soldiers, those broken copper and iron, do you think you can prevent them all?" The other stood up and looked at him with disdain.
This is Isaac, the corps general stationed in Psu, who has always looked down on the other side.
Isaac slapped the table and said sharply, "In my opinion, it is necessary to put the Prussia under full military martial law and find out all potential enemies!" ”
"You know how much of a threat military martial law will bring, and it will definitely hit the Prussian economy hard!" The pot-bellied Minister of Finance is adamantly opposed.
The director of the Public Security Department also objected: "That is, once martial law is imposed, the entire Pusu will definitely fall into turmoil." ”
"If it weren't for the fact that the military has not had sufficient financial support, a large amount of military spending has been withheld and embezzled, and less than 8 percent of the financial expenditure has been invested in the military. Many soldiers can't upgrade their equipment, how can they let those natives invade the belly of the empire? Isaac couldn't help but growl.
"General Isaac, everything has to be about evidence, you are not responsible for talking like this, you will be sent to a military court!" The Minister of Finance responded lightly.
As the Minister of Finance of Pusu, the granary of the empire, he naturally does not need to be afraid of surpassing the other party in the status of the imperial officials.
Not to mention that he also represents the face of the entire Imperial Treasury.
Once the concession is made, the absolute official position is not guaranteed.
Boom!
"Proof, evidence that I went to Nima!"
Isaac slammed his fist on the table and turned to leave in a rage.
After he left, a group of people had another heated meeting.
But until the afternoon, no concrete response was discussed.
"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags who only know how to shirk responsibility!"
Isaac sighed heavily as he left the chamber.
Don't look at the current situation in the empire, in fact, it is already in crisis.
The top leaders embezzled each other, and many big nobles joined forces to vaguely control the power.
Not to mention that there are seven major churches, all of which are behemoths that can influence the course of the empire.
He just felt very tired, very tired.
Many soldiers on the front line are using old equipment to fight the natives in the wilderness rainforest.
There are still so many people behind who are dragging their feet and dare to embezzle and share the spoils of military spending.
As a general who holds military power, he has to see the faces of this group of civil servants to survive.
Any department minister dares to scare him.
I have to say it's a sarcasm.
As soon as he returned to the barracks, a soldier hurriedly stepped forward to report: "General, there is a demon hunter who wants to see you!" ”
"The Witcher...... Let him in. Isaac frowned.
As an imperial general, he naturally knew about the existence of this group of people.
Originally, he also admired guns and cannons, and did not think that anyone could fight against them.
But after witnessing the toughness of this group of people, I didn't dare to underestimate it anymore.
No way, when you see with your own eyes someone who can resist the shelling of guns and cannons, you will also doubt life!
The soldier led an ordinary-looking young man, dressed in black, wearing a small round hat, and his black eyes looked extremely deep.
If it weren't for the cross sword on his back, it would probably be regarded as an ordinary noble child.
The other party politely took off his hat and greeted him: "General Isaac, introduce yourself, my name is Sauron Baimon, and I am a witcher......
"Don't talk nonsense, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Isaac interrupted, staring sharply at the other.
Zoro smiled, and no longer greeted:
"I found a place where the natives are hiding!"
