Chapter 030: The Death Knell (I)

Hearing the name 'Deathstroke', Skye, Fizz and Simmons, who are usually used to making a fuss, are quite calm, but May and Ward, who are usually calm, subconsciously exclaimed.

"What, this guy is special? Or is this a terrible person? Looking at the two of them, Skye asked.

"Surely the one with 'death' in the name is not the kind and kind type." Before May and Ward could react, Fitz spoke first, "I seem to have heard of this name, but I can't remember it for a while. What about you, Simmons? ”

Simmons thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head: "I'm also a little impressed." But I can't remember. Probably we heard about it when we were in college? ”

"Oh, I'm not so forgetful. If I've ever heard of it at the academy, I'm sure I remember. ”

"I know what you mean, but just because we've heard it doesn't necessarily mean it happened in our science department, and the name Death Knell doesn't seem to have much to do with science. So, maybe it happened from time to time in our science department, but it came from other departments, and we just heard it by chance. ”

While Fitz and Simmons, the two best graduates of the Science Division, were a little self-conscious, Skye, who had dropped out of high school, heard something different.

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that there is very little contact between the several departments of your Hydra Academy?"

Seeing her ask this, Fitz and Simmons didn't react for a while. After all, everyone present, except for Coulson, who had not yet established the academy when he joined Hydra, everyone else had the status of graduates of the academy - including Malik, possessed by Rhaegar. For this, Fitz was stunned for a moment before answering.

"Not very little, but almost none."

Fitz's voice fell, and Simmons naturally picked up: "Not to mention between the divisions, even the internal divisions are not like ordinary schools outside. There were friends between the students, but very few, which is why I always say that I was lucky enough to meet Fitz. Because the others are more of a competitive relationship with the red fruit. Nowhere is this more evident than in the War Department. Speaking of which, Simmons froze for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel excited. I remembered that the death knell seemed to be a message coming from within the War Department, saying that there was a person in the War Department who won easily by one to twenty, yes, twenty. ”

Hearing Simmons say this, Fitz also remembered. The two of them looked at May, Ward, and Rhaegar at the same time, their faces full of curiosity.

The War Department is the school where May, Ward, and Malik graduated.

Rhaegar didn't have Malik's memory, so he naturally didn't know how Knell became a member of the Hydra Academy's operations department. In order not to show his stuff, he simply reached out to May and Ward and made a 'please' gesture, and asked them to answer the questions that Fitz, Simmons, and Skye all cared about.

Then May also took a step back, so only Ward came.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Ward glanced at Rhaegar and May and said depressedly, "Actually, I don't know what I know, it happened after I graduated." The number of one to twenty is debatable, but as far as I know, there were forty people who were against that man at that time. What I also know is that none of the people who were fighting with him at the time could see what he was doing. All they know is that the person has a special rhythm, and the movements are very crisp and direct, not dragging at all. He doesn't even make extra movements, and every time there is a sound, someone is hit, and someone is going to fall, like the bell ringing in a church dedicated to the dead. That's why he got the nickname 'Death Knell'. ”

Forty people won alone, which is a bit exaggerated.

"Of course it's an exaggeration, uh, I'm not saying that Ward you are particularly deceived or deceived by us...... I mean, it's normal. After all, all three of you graduated by then, right, what about Rhaegar? Okay, that's it. Simmons was still trying to explain this with logic, "At that time, you all graduated, and it was naturally not the first-hand news, and in the process of circulating this news from hand to hand, it was not surprising that the people in the middle were all kinds of worship or scaring others, all kinds of embellishments, all kinds of oil and vinegar, and finally it became a dozen and forty." Honestly, I already think it's incredible enough to do a dozen or twenty, and you've heard twice as much......"

For Simmons's serious analysis, his teammates all felt that it was not unreasonable—except for someone who knew the truth.

"No, not one to twenty, not one to forty or any other ratio you've heard of used by the academy's hierarchy to cover up the truth or be misrepresented by those students. The real number is 1 vs 73. Coulson said in a very flat tone, but what he said was not flat at all.

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"I'd never joke about it." Coulson shook his head and responded to Skye's words, then he looked at Rhaeggar, May, and Ward. "Death Knell has never been a cadet in the War Department. On the contrary, he was the target of the War Department at that time. ”

According to Coulson, it all started with a mission from the War Department at the time. At that time, the graduation examination of the graduates of the War Department was a real battle. Note that there is only the word 'actual combat', not a walkthrough. At that time, the team was led by several instructors, and counting the trainees, a total of seventy-three people needed to destroy the camp of an anti-Hydra warlord in the Middle East, and the number of kills and other on-the-spot performances would be recorded as the scores of the trainees, and finally judged. The teaching level of the Hydra Operations Department is really good, and it only took more than half a day for more than 60 students to complete a sneak attack, killing all 217 anti-Hydra militants in that camp, and also seizing a batch of Hydra equipment that may not be looked down upon but can be regarded as sophisticated equipment for other armies. That's a big win.

After the war, the cadets rested on the spot, and the worst performers were ordered by the instructors to take stock of the site. As a result, those students may not be as good as other students in terms of combat, but their IQ is still online. They found that one person in the camp of 218 people was still alive. It was the warlord himself.

But before they could report the situation, they were killed. The warlord had hired a helper, and that helper was the death knell.

It turns out that the warlord knew that he might be targeted, so he hired Death Knell to protect him secretly. When the Hydra Cadets attacked, the warlord asked Death Bell to strike, but Death Bell refused on the grounds that he was not hired, and instead forcibly took the Warlord out of the almost impenetrable encirclement net of the Hydra Operatives Cadets.

Apparently it didn't end there. Along the way to be forcibly taken away by Deathbell, the Hydra warlord already knew that his men had died tragically. So the warlord made a very irrational decision. He lets Deathstroke avenge him by killing the Hydra cadets who still occupy his camp. To do this, he was willing to give his last thing - a private sum that would allow him to reassemble a group of men to buy a new batch of arms.

The reason why he said it was irrational was because this kind of thing was not possible in an army under his command, and normal people would not think that Death Knell could achieve it alone. It is not surprising that the warlord at that time experienced such a setback in his life, and it is understandable that his brain was not very good. However, the death knell has the strength of one man against an army.

Thus, the nightmare of the fresh graduates of the War Department began. Well, this statement is not accurate, because none of the graduates of that class were spared under the hands of Death Knell, and naturally they could not have nightmares.

And the most unacceptable thing is that except for the first few crane tail trainees who found that the warlord was still alive, they were killed by a sneak attack, and the rest of them almost all died in the head-to-head fire. With two katanas, two miniature submachine guns, several magazines, and two grenades, Deathstroke taught the Hydra students the last lesson of their lives.

At the beginning, they lost contact with the scene, and the senior management of the academy thought that those students had been plotted by internal traitors, and the matter even went outside the academy, the headquarters of Hydra at that time, and even the director of the bureau. Finally, the scene was re-locked through satellites, and several special teams were sent over, and through the mouth of the only instructor who survived the serious injuries at the scene, combined with some images taken by satellites, the college and headquarters learned the truth. At that time, neither the headquarters nor the academy could tolerate the news that all the cadets of the War Department had been killed, so they falsified the facts, changed the background of the Knell mercenaries to one of the cadets, and changed 72 dead and 1 seriously injured to 'several people were knocked down'. In addition, the top management also allowed those rumors to become more and more strange, and even took the initiative to spread rumors. So, the matter was settled.
