Chapter 318: Fighting in the Nest?
As far as Mordo was concerned, he didn't think there would be any suspense in the battle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Think about it too. Although they were outnumbered, almost all of the best fighters in the Assassin League were on Thalia's side. Talia had already been trained when other children were just beginning to learn to walk, and she was deeply influenced by her father, the previous Lei Xiaogu; In addition, Bronze Tiger and Lady Siva, under the influence of Mordo's magic, are also completely on Talia's side, and because of the effect of magic, they abandon their humanity and become more lethal than before; And then there's Bruce Wayne, the candidate and the leader - at least nominally - who is a master of fighting in his own right, and whose combat prowess and fighting art are at their limits. In addition to them, there are some big and small bosses. And in addition to those big and small leaders, Talia and Bruce Wayne brought over from Nanda Paba were all their diehards, the descendants of the previous Lei Xiaogu. In other words, it was the elite of the League of Assassins. With the other side not overwhelmingly outnumbered, and given that the candidate on that side is dead, no one would think that Thalia's side would lose. It would have been a one-sided battle.
When Talia asked him to come and meet him, he was furious - he was contacting his few men to arrange resources for Strange. Later, he had the idea of making a knock on the Assassin League, so he patiently followed the herald to the mayor's office where he had met with Talia and Bruce Wayne before, and met them again. However, before he could make his request, he was startled by what another Assassin in the office said.
It was Talia who told the Assassin to inform Mordo, and half of Gotham had already been taken by their opponents.
"This kind of result, in such a short period of time." He asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ”
In Mordo's opinion, this could not have happened. The Assassin League split into two factions and competed for the position of Lei Xiaogu, and he didn't really care about the outcome of this matter. With his temporary joining, there should be only one result in this competition, that is, the Thalia side wins, after all, it is impossible for the other party to find someone stronger than him to sit in, whether it is for subjective or objective reasons - here "subjective" refers to the other party does not have this network to find the only ancient one he will scruple about, and "objective" is that the other party is limited by too short time to disclose the situation and ask for help from a suitable outsider. Combined with the above-mentioned difference in the level of the masters and the comparison of the combat power of the lower levels, he couldn't think of a reason for such a reversal.
Well, he doesn't know his enemies too well. And this comes at a price.
"We wanted to ask you why." Only in the middle of this room, Bruce Wayne stared at Carmodo, who had just come in through the door, and asked coldly.
Mordo was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Bruce Wayne with a cold look.
"I don't really like the direction of this topic. So, if I were you, I would be careful to pay attention to what I am going to say next and think twice. ”
"I don't like the direction of this topic either, but I think you need to explain it to us." It was not Bruce Wayne who was the first to respond to Mordo, but Thalia, who was watching from the sidelines, with a face that was no longer warm but frosty. "First the triangle island, where the Arkham asylum is located, then Robinson Park and Burley, then Chinatown and Hermon Island. None of these places were connected or on the edge of Gotham, but they fell, and their men did not alarm any of our guards on the perimeter, ignoring our impregnable defenses, at least as I used to think, and appeared directly in the heart of Gotham. Except for certain special means that transcend logic and common sense, I don't think they can do it to this extent. ”
Mordo glanced at Talia coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, what you said about 'special means beyond logic and common sense' should be referring to magic, or even to my magic in particular." ”
Instead of giving a "yes" or "no" to Mordo's cold words, Talia continued, "One more thing. In the grove outside the former Wayne Manor, we see Zorro's body in pieces and blood spilled after fighting more than a dozen of our elite assassins. ”
"I've heard that." Mordo remained unmoved.
"Then you should listen to this again: guess what, Zorro is still alive!"
Mordo withdrew his eyes from staring at Talia, still expressionless, uh, expression, and lowered his eyes and looked down at his feet.
"Finished? Those accusations. ”
Talia still looked at him: "That's all for now. You can begin to explain. ”
"So let me summarize. Do you suspect that I am already on the side of your enemies, that I have used magic to bring your enemies into Gotham to fight back against you, and that I have faked the death of your most fearful enemy before you take it lightly...... Hmm, that's all? Speaking of this, Mordo sneered, "So have you ever thought that if I really did that, and I was really already on the side of your enemies, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to open the portal and let your enemies go directly to your bedroom?!" ”
Hearing this, Talia and Bruce Wayne glanced at each other. They were about to speak, but were interrupted by Baron Mordo.
"Actually, there is a more convenient way - I will kill you directly, and if it is not enough, there is also that Bronze Tiger and that Lady Siwa, these two so-called martial arts masters. I could even banish you all to a few kilometres in the air with a single spell while you're all together, causing you to fall to the ground and fall apart, or simply be scared to death in mid-air - I can do that right now. Mordo said lightly, "But I didn't." ”
"And that's why you've been invited here by us, rather than being besieged by us outright." Although his face was not very good-looking, Bruce Wayne still showed the toughness he deserved. This is very rare, especially when the center of the aura is completely on Mordu's side.
Talia's performance wasn't much better. She didn't need to be tough, though. After Bruce Wayne sings blackface, it's time for her to be whiteface.
"We just expressed our doubts. As you have done before, we don't understand why we have suffered such a big reversal in such a short period of time. She tried to put on a sincere expression, "I've made people shrink their defenses, and now Gotham still has more than half of us in our hands." But that's not safe, especially given that they have some kind of means of hitting our hinterland. We need your input. ”
Since the other party gave the next step, Mo Du also softened his face: "What kind of opinion." ”
"We wonder if there's a magical force intervening in this fray." "I mean, another magical force. ”
Without much thought, Mordo gave the answer: "If you are sure that no one has the superpower of mass teleportation, then, yes, 100 percent." At this, he paused, and then his tone softened a little more. If you don't mind, I can go to the front line and take a look so I can make a more precise and detailed judgment. ”
"Great!" Talia shouted a little excitedly, "We're waiting for you to say that......"
However, she was interrupted again. Bruce Wayne said, "I think the Baron should be able to consolidate the defenses here," and the Assassin in charge of the summons walked in again.
The other team's team attacked again. This time, however, the opponent is no longer directly inside the occupation zone on the Talia side, but instead makes a regular charge to their defensive circle.
