A ghost, a silent ghost of a killer, hovers the City Lord's Mansion.

A week has passed since the carnage at the fusion nuclear power plant and the air circulation center, and although Gustav arrived in time to redeploy his garrison and prevent the two key points of control of the space city from falling into the hands of outsiders, the enemy has not yet been seen and has invaded the city lord's mansion.

In the past week, there have been more than 100 attacks and murders in the city lord's mansion, and their deaths are exactly the same as those of the people who were in the nuclear power plant before, with accurate headshots and fatal shots!

Almost every hour, people are killed, and they die in unknown terms.

Many times, it takes a long time for the bodies to be found, no one knows when they were killed, and the killer always disappears before they are found.

This terrible killer didn't know what means he used, he could easily bypass all the monitoring systems in the city lord's mansion, as well as the layers of defense measures, all the secret doors, checkpoints, and fire protection nets seemed to be decorations, similar to air, and did not play any role.

The lord of the city, Gustav, set up an elaborate ambush several times in an attempt to lure the other party into appearing, but he never succeeded, and the killer seems to have already seen the trap.

However, the killers did not stop killing, and dozens, if not hundreds, of people died every day.

Such a strange and terrifying situation made everyone in the City Lord's Mansion fearful, everyone was in danger, and no one knew if they would be the next to die.

The shadow of death shrouded in the sky over the City Lord's Mansion, and the hearts of the people were in a panic, some people quietly fled from the City Lord's Mansion without saying goodbye, and there were fewer and fewer people who could still see it every day, and in just one week, the City Lord's power had risen and fallen, and it was already crumbling.

Gao Sheng walked into the hall of the city lord and saw Gustav sitting alone on the top, looking at the air in front of him gloomily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since the accident of the housekeeper Faulkner, the city lord has not closed his eyes for a minute to rest, even if the city lord is a martial saint, he is also showing fatigue at this time, and it seems that he has aged a lot all of a sudden.

He has been by the city lord's side for nearly a hundred years, and he has seen all the winds and waves, but he has never seen such a powerless side of the city lord.

"City Lord." Gao Sheng stepped forward and shouted respectfully.

Gustav raised his eyelids and looked at it, but his body was motionless, and he just asked lightly, "How is the situation?" ”

"It's not good." Gao Sheng shook his head with a heavy heart, and replied with difficulty: "There are less than five hundred people left in the armored guards, and the other reserve personnel are even less, almost all of them have run out, less than three hundred." ”

After answering, Gao Sheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Gustav's face again.

The form is really bad to the point of being unspeakable, a week ago, the city lord's armored guard still had a full 1,200 people, and the reserve guard exceeded 3,000, adding up to more than 3,000 horses, and in the blink of an eye, they died and fled, and there were only seven or eight hundred people left, and it continued to decrease, and I don't know how many people will be left in a few days.

I'm afraid that this crisis will be difficult to overcome, and even if it passes, it will be difficult for the city lord to continue to control the space city.

To be honest, Gao Sheng also had the idea of slipping away, if it weren't for the city lord Gustav's kindness to him, he would have flashed a long time ago.

Moreover, he is currently the only person who knows that the city lord is behind the Luo Consortium. Relying on the big backer of the Luo Consortium, the city lord will always have a way back, and one day he will rise from the east, and there will be no mistake in following him.

Gustav's face was ugly like the bottom of a pot when he heard this, and his chest kept rising and falling.

"In addition......" Gao Sheng looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What are you talking about, it's all at this time, what are you doing all the time?" Gustav said with an impatient wave.

Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "I just found out that Kadim is gone. ”

Gustav had seven generals under his command, two of whom died in the explosion, two of whom were killed by the killers, and three remained, including Gao Sheng himself. Gao Sheng is a senior general, and the other two are junior generals, Kadim is one of them, Gustav sent him to garrison the nuclear power plant and entrusted him with a heavy task, but he did not expect him to defect at the most critical time!

"This coward!" Gustav finally couldn't suppress his anger and couldn't help but tap the armrest.

Rumble......

The cold broke out, and the entire chair under his seat was smashed into ice ballast, and he stood up and wanted to be angry, opening his mouth, but he couldn't scold a word.

He has scolded too much in the past few days, but to no avail, if he doesn't find out the killer who is hiding next to him and kill him, no matter how ugly the scolding is, it will be in vain.

Gustav paced back and forth in the hall, suppressing his emotions and asking, "Did you find any clues to the killer?" ”

Gao Sheng shook his head silently.

Gustav just asked casually, not expecting Gao Sheng to find anything. In the past few days, he racked his brains to find out the killer, but he was helpless, as if this killer was everywhere, always monitoring every move of the entire City Lord's Mansion, no matter which method he used to search or design traps, the killer could always avoid it one step in advance, not fooled at all, and did not leave a trace of clues.

"Is it really a ghost killer?"

Even as a martial saint, Gustav was unheard of of such a mysterious method, and he was suspicious of himself.

He originally thought that Zhuang Xiaolin was the killer, but now he can't be sure, and he suspects that Zhuang Xiaolin, who killed the butler Faulkner, is also a fake. As early as many years ago, he knew that Zhuang Xiaolin was a bloody handprint "butcher", and secretly did an investigation, this was not Zhuang Xiaolin's style of acting, and the "butcher" did not have such a great ability, otherwise he would have become the king of killers in the Federation long ago.

The one who can do all this must be a warlock, and a warlock above level six!

But there are only a few warlocks above level 6 in the entire Federation? You can count it on two hands.

Gustav counted the past one by one, silently checked the background of these high-level warlocks, and also contacted the Luo family, the consortium and the family have not made any big moves recently, or those old rivals, who have been safe and sound recently, and have not offended these powerful warlocks.

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand where he had offended the other party.

Gao Sheng on the side saw Gustav in deep thought, guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but say loudly: "City Lord, could it be that other forces in the city are playing ghosts, and they spent a lot of money to invite this killer?" ”

Gustav also thought about this possibility, but it was quickly dismissed.

He has ruled the space city for more than a hundred years, and he thinks that he is benevolent to the other forces in the city, and he has never left a line in his work, and has not killed them all, if they wanted to resist, they would have done it a long time ago, how could they endure it for so many years, and only now did they ask a high-level warlock to subvert their rule?

And which of the warlocks above level 6 is not of a noble status and a net worth of hundreds of millions? A few black market vendors in a mere place outside the law are not even qualified to see them, let alone ask them to help.

Gustav thought about it, they didn't dare to do it before, because they didn't see the opportunity, and now they can't tell......

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and it seemed to come from a long distance, and an armored guard rushed into the hall quickly, shouting in panic: "City Lord, the nuclear power plant has been attacked, and there are many enemies!" ”

Gustav and Gao Sheng's faces changed drastically, they rushed out like a storm, and looked up at the nuclear power plant, and saw that hundreds of enemies wearing various power armor had entered the nuclear power plant, and the more than 100 armored guards stationed inside had no resistance, surrendered one after another, and were captured in a blink of an eye.

Then, these armored warriors rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"They're from the Black Market Federation!"

Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "There are three major mercenary groups, they have reached an alliance, and they are all reversed!" ”

At the same time, the air circulation center on the other side was also surrounded and attacked by a large number of armored soldiers, and the city lord guards stationed inside also fled, and the junior generals guarding the town were killed by the head of a mercenary group before they even had time to explain the defects.

Suddenly, the entire space city shook the sky.

Gustav looked at all this coldly, and did not go to the rescue, he knew that the tide had turned.

"City Lord, what should we do?" Gao Sheng's face was anxious, the city lord was a martial saint, and it was more than enough to save his life, but he was only a high-level military general, and there were several powerhouses of the same level as himself in the space city, if he didn't do something, maybe today would be his death.

"You organize the people who are willing to follow us, take them to Pier 1 to board the Ice Mist, and prepare to leave."

Gustav's gaze swept over the few strong generals who took the lead in the rebellion, and said in a cold voice: "But before leaving, I want to teach them a hard lesson and let them know the fate of betraying me." ”

"Hmph, what a big breath!"

A loud voice spread throughout half of the space city, and everyone looked at it in shock, only to see a sturdy man rising from the top of a tall building not far away, flying at high speed, and flying over the city lord's mansion in a few breaths.

He looked at Gustav condescendingly and said lazily: "Gustav, do you think you can walk today?" ”

"Twin Spear Martial Saint!" There was a burst of exclamations from below.

This is a middle-aged man, I can't tell the specific age, but he is very handsome and handsome, with a cigar in his mouth, and a faint smile on his face, full of masculine charm. A layer of pale green force flowed around his body, shaped like a hurricane, allowing him to hang smoothly in the air, as if walking on the ground, which was the hallmark of a martial saint.

This martial saint was dressed a little strangely, carrying a silver metal spear behind him, and his hands were as thick as arms, the same height as his shoulders; There is also a strangely shaped high-tech firearm at his waist, with a thick and thick barrel, like a revolver magnified several times, and the power is unpredictable.

When Gustav saw this person, his pupils contracted sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Edmund, the king of two guns, you want to be my enemy?" ”

Gao Sheng next to him also recognized the identity of the person, and suddenly sighed in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good.

The double-speared Saint Edmund may not have much reputation among the citizens of the Federation, but in the land of foreign law, especially the mercenary industry, it is like thunder, and almost everyone knows it.

This Martial Saint was born as a mercenary, and he is the kind of lone wolf mercenary, he has never joined any forces or mercenary groups, and he has been a loner all his life, even after he became a Martial Saint, he still does so, he has refused the invitations of countless forces, and he has always been alone, and he is a veritable interstellar prodigal.

But this prodigal son has a powerful martial saint cultivation, and he is also a rare super master in the mercenary industry.

Because he is good at spear and pistol, so Aemond is known as the Twin Spear Martial Saint or the King of Two Guns, he acts both right and evil, has no fixed place, and has been mixed in various extralegal places of the Federation for a long time, but he did not expect to appear in the Juling Space City.

"Gustav, I'm okay with you."

Edmund clasped his hands to his chest, as if he were watching a lively outsider, spat out a puff of smoke rings in his mouth, and continued: "However, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. I've been short of money to spend lately, and I'm just in time for this good show, how can I miss it? ”

"How much they give you, I can give you double!" Gustav decided to swallow his breath and take a step back.

He wasn't afraid of Aemond, he was usually confident that he could defeat the other party, but the dark wound caused by the last explosion had not healed, and his strength was damaged, so he didn't want to fight for no reason, and in the end he was picked up by others. He hadn't forgotten that the terrible killer was still waiting for an opportunity, and that was the biggest threat.

Edmund glanced at it disdainfully, "I still have to be trustworthy in my mercenary business, and it's useless for you to give me ten times the price." ”

Gustav's heart sank, knowing that this battle was no longer inevitable.

He glanced at Gao Sheng beside him, and Gao Sheng immediately understood, turned around and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to gather people. Edmund let Gao Sheng go, he had only one goal, and that was Gustav, and the others were not in his area of responsibility.

Gustav stared at Edmund, slowly pulled out the simple long sword at his waist, his whole body shook, a cold aura emanated, the long sword quickly condensed into frost, and in an instant, it condensed into a crystal clear ice sword, and the cold light was shining.

Rumble!

He stomped his feet, his body soaring into the sky, and the ice sword in his hand struck Edmund in the air.

"Good time!" Edmund let out a loud scream, his face showing excitement, and the hurricane howled outside his body, rushing forward at high speed, and immediately mingled with Gustav.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Sheng had no time to pay attention to the Martial Saint Battle in the sky, he ran around, gathered the remaining armored guards, and retreated to the back of the City Lord's Mansion while resisting and destroying the invading enemy. There was a pier No. 1 dedicated to the city lord, which was well defended, and the city lord's ship, the Ice Mist, was moored.

Ten minutes later, Gao Sheng gathered less than a hundred armored guards, and with his familiarity with the terrain, he successfully retreated to the No. 1 pier.

There was a violent boom in the air, and Gustav's figure fell, staggering into the dock, with multiple injuries on his body, and a large hole between his chest and abdomen that penetrated into his back, and was restrained by the frozen force and lost blood, and the ice sword in his hand was only half cut off.

"City Lord!"

Gao Sheng exclaimed in shock, it was the first time he had seen the city lord so badly injured.

Gustav waved his hand to ignore the injuries on his body, waved his hand and ordered: "Get on the boat, set sail immediately." ”

The Ice Mist spaceship was already on standby, and everyone immediately retreated to board the ship, and the spaceship let countless energy bullets dump on the armor, quickly broke away from the port, and drove out of the space city at a frantic speed.

The size of this spaceship is not large, only more than a hundred meters long, but it is fast and small and flexible, and it quickly got rid of the pursuing ship behind it and continued to accelerate, preparing to reach sub-light conditions and enter warping sailing.
