Chapter 869: Join forces to resist
More than half a month has passed since the war broke out between the Red Blood Empire and the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, and the time is approaching the Double Holy Week in December.
Double Holy Week, the most special two weeks of the Honkai Era, because of the extremely cold climate, all fierce beasts will fall into hibernation, and for some unknown reasons, the cube will stop operating during these two weeks, will not issue tasks, will not bring Honkai, will not have any energy fluctuations, just like other beasts fall into "hibernation".
As a result of this phenomenon, the Red Blood Empire, the Federal Heavy Workers Legion, and the Crusader Church signed a treaty at the suggestion of the Inquisition: no matter how urgent the war is, no matter what the blood feud is, there must be an unconditional ceasefire within these two weeks, and it is not too late to fight after the Double Holy Week.
This treaty has been in force for 14 years, but it is foreseeable that it is about to expire now, 15 years after the collapse, if nothing else, because the Judgment Council is no longer a "notary" in this war, and the two major factions led by Kazunaraku support the Red Blood Empire and the other support the Federal Heavy Industry Legion, both sides are involved in this great power game, and the agreement of Double Holy Week has become a piece of waste paper like the "Imperial Federation Mutual Assistance Treaty".
Since two days ago, heavy rain began to fall in the area covering the front line, and the raging wind filled every corner of the air, mixed with fine torrential rain swept across the land, and the visibility was only seven or eight meters, and the entire front was trembling in such a violent storm.
Many soldiers had never seen such a storm before, and a large number of unknown objects were blown into the sky, swept into the dark clouds, as if swallowed by the open jaws of demons, which was chilling.
Such a storm greatly affected the war, the long-range strikes of the Federal Heavy Industries Corps lost their accuracy, the Valkyrie could not take off, the tanks were stuck in the swamp, and the Red Blood Empire was not comfortable, and ordinary soldiers could not stand on their feet in this kind of storm, and even the strength of the Evolver was greatly reduced.
In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Red Blood Empire and the Federal Heavy Industries Legion have invariably tightened their battle lines, and the frontal collision of armies continues, but it has decreased a lot, and the undercurrents that cannot be stopped by the torrential rain are still raging and surging.
Under the cover of the rain curtain, infiltrating and infiltrating became easier, and the five Inquisitors secretly sent by Naraku, the majority shareholder of the Judgment Council, to assist in the Federation's Circum-Naval Theater, the Apocalypse-level Inquisitor Chief Ophelia, the Second Seat Asakura, and the three Dusk-level Inquisitors chose to dispatch on this rainy night, and they easily tore through the Imperial Army's reconnaissance line and approached the location of the Eagle Banner Army's headquarters.
The clothes of the five were already soaked and clinging tightly to their bodies, but this did not affect their movements in the slightest, and the five of them turned into five high-speed black shadows to tear through the rain curtain and rush forward.
Suddenly, Ophelia, the leader, stopped, her eyes penetrated the dark night, and she thought about it for a while, this should be the edge of the Eagle Banner Army headquarters, according to the previous report of the federal reconnaissance force, there is a force stationed here, but at this time, let alone the defenders, even the factory is blinded by black lights, and the camp in the distance is also gathered like a ghost, which makes people suspicious.
"All military equipment was taken away." Suddenly, a Dusk-level Inquisitor spoke up, and Ophelia followed his gaze and swept around, realizing what was wrong.
On this kind of rainy day, in order to prevent equipment from entering the water and shells from firing, the army will inevitably sort out and pile up the munitions into the warehouse, but at this time, from the open warehouse door, it can be seen that the inside is empty, there is no military supply piled up, and there is no outside, and all the military equipment has already been transferred to other places, leaving only this empty field without anything.
No clutter, no obstacles, it's literally a venue made for duels.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the inquisitors clenched their weapons and looked vigilantly in the direction from which the sound came from as the sound of black and iron came from the rain curtain.
It stands to reason that in this pouring rain, many sounds will be buried, but for some reason, the footsteps in the distance, which are not loud, overwhelm the sound of rain and black iron, and come like a ghost, occupying everyone's minds.
Ophelia squinted at the comer, and when the other party finally came out of the rain curtain and revealed her true face, she couldn't help but be stunned, before that, Ophelia had imagined many possibilities, such as the cold kite knowing their arrival and personally meeting the enemy.
For example, in order to protect the command center, Leng Kite led his troops to retreat, and it was the white wolf or Li Xiansheng who came.
But Ophelia didn't expect that it would be this person.
A chill appeared in Ophelia's eyes, and she stepped forward with heavy steps, and said with a cold smile on her face: "Yo, it's really surprising, it seems that you haven't had enough fun in Sanjiangyuan, Grand Commander." ”
It was none other than the Great Commander of the Oathbreakers, Baitans, who was standing firmly in front of the Inquisitors, and the storm that was enough to blow people over did not seem to have any effect on him, and the armor structure of the blue fangs on the rain-soaked black dragon armor looked even more hideous in the rain.
The heavy rain intertwined into a fine curtain in the air, and Baitans stood in front of the Inquisitor and his group like a statue, his cold ghost eyes stared directly at Ophelia, the world's number one evolutionary, and suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face, and this smile did not mean friendliness, but more like a contempt: "I thought that Leng Kite was looking for me to deal with an army, why, just the five of you?" Is it enough for me to kill? ”
"Grand Commander, this time we are fighting side by side, please don't ignore my existence." Quietly, another person walked out of the darkness behind Baitans, a man in silver armor and holding a European knight's saber in his hand, and a golden cross brand burned in the center of his eyebrows, which was the "divine seal" only of the knights of the Crucifixion.
"Lancelot? Unexpectedly, the Knights of the Round Table also came. Ophelia looked at the visitor coldly and smiled: "I thought that this time the Cross Church would also be a turtle with a shrunken head, but I didn't expect to stand up." The Generalissimo of the empire made a good move a few years ago, the Eurasian corridor, using economy and trade to tie the interests of the three of you together. Am I now witnessing history, the Crucifixion, and the Oathbreakers? ”
Baitans's expression was obviously a little displeased, he snorted coldly, didn't even look at Lancelot next to him, and said coldly: "Say it first, I can handle this matter alone, your existence is superfluous." ”
Lancelot slowly pulled the saber out of its sheath, and the burning cross divine seal in the center of his eyebrows turned into a substantial golden flame, directly ignited the saber in his hand, and said firmly: "Respect the Pope's order, entrusted by the legion commander, without it." ”
"Hmph." Bytans let out a chilling smirk, his ghostly eyes moving slightly sideways, as if looking at the proud Seal of the Cross of Lancelot and all the Crucifixioners, and said faintly, "Another fool who can't see the real enemy, pathetic." ”
