Chapter 81: Under the Cover of Night VI
"Call for air support, call for air support, the enemy fire is too strong, we need support!"
On the street on the bank of the river, several Gakuen City special combat team members wore mechanical exoskeletons, held arc guns in both hands and lowered their heads, and anxiously shouted into the radio communication, "We will fire red flares, please bomb the place where the flares are"
Not far from them, the Tower Bridge in the dark night was full of lightning, the bridge that was originally passable under the Tower Bridge had been destroyed by the magicians in advance, and the temporary pontoon bridge erected by the school city had also become a pile of scrap metal, and a bunch of chariots and driving armor that had been able to enter the scrap recycling station were paralyzed on the side of the road, and from time to time there was an electric arc on it to indicate that this was the result of lightning magic
On Tower Bridge, which has been transformed into a magnetic storm coil, a group of men in black trench coats stand at their posts, a pale red glow looming in the palms of their hands
"Lord Duke, the enemy has retreated for the time being," a messenger stepped out of the staircase and reported to the tall man standing at the top of the tower watching the situation outside, "no other enemies were found around"
"Do the clansmen have any losses," the tall man said lightly, but his tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity
"Lord Hui, only a few of the clansmen were slightly injured" Fortunately, it was not bad news, and the few wrinkles on the tall man's cheeks like steel seemed to be soothed, and in the dark night the enemy had retreated into the shadows of the Guild Street Building, but who knew when they would attack again
"I see, you go down" The tall man waved his hand, and the messenger took two steps back. A few seconds later, a swarm of bats flew in from the night and landed beside the man known as the Duke, and gradually the bats converged to reveal the figure of a young woman
"Stuart," four words slowly burst out of the Duke's mouth, as if dissatisfied with the comer, "Aren't you injured, why are you staying here, or are you already healed?" โ
"Don't be so cold, my injury can't let me move freely, so it's just a doppelganger of mine, but it's really sad for me to come and inspect the fighting clansmen who are being turned away thousands of miles away by a cold face" said Lola also touched the corners of her eyes, and after staying with Qiuchen for a while and speaking fluent English for a long time, the strange set of ancient Japanese sentences of the Tuyu Sect can finally be changed a little
"And I ask you how the battle is going?"
It can't be changed
"We can block them once and twice, but we may not be able to hold on all the time" said the duke, clenching his hands, hundreds of years ago he could easily defeat an army with only his own strength, but now, ordinary people who have been trained can wear an exoskeleton and have the strength to be equal to him, let alone drive armor
However, if it weren't for the sharp decline in the number of clansmen over the past few hundred years, I am afraid that I would only have just been promoted to earl
Thinking of this, the Duke clenched his palm, which was still a little painful, and looked at Lola, "We don't need to waste the lives of our clansmen here for a group of humans, and we can't afford a war of attrition, not to mention that now that the whereabouts of the king of humans are unknown, what obligation do we have to fight here for a human whose life and death are unknown."
Lola didn't answer, instead looking up to the southwest, "Did the beasts escape?" โ
"According to the information I received, they should still be holding on to their stronghold, but some of their young werewolves have already retreated to Manteston, presumably preparing to retreat to Wales with all their strength, and when the significance of London as the capital of the whole country disappears, it is more advantageous to face the enemy in the base camp of their own race than in a human city."
"So your opinion?" Lola frowned, there were powerful figures of each race represented in London, both as their own representatives and as overseers of the Coalition, but this was the first time in nearly four hundred years that the British Empire had been brought to the capital
"We don't have time to wait and see, werewolves can quickly retreat to Wales, druids can retreat into the forests of Scotland, but we want to get back to the castle in Ireland"
"When we do that, we will be defeated by each other" Lola sighed and waved her hand to interrupt the duke's report, "I believe in Elisard, I have been working with her for decades, and although she is a human, she will not sit idly by while the enemy takes her city, at least...... Let's wait for her to show up and make a new decision."
โโฆโฆ What if she doesn't show up? โ
โโฆโฆ Then I'll need to think about it as a magic side, please make it through tonight, tonight is the most difficult night, but....we have to get through it" With that, the black mist rose from Lola's feet, slowly covering her whole body, and when the black mist dissipated, only a few bats flew into the night sky
For Lola, this level of war is nothing, but for her people, it will be even more difficult to survive if the last intact territory on the magical side is destroyed by scientific forces
It's just the first night.,The shock caused by the school city operation has people all over the world paying attention to this operation.,A city built for research purposes.,But powerful enough to have an army to wage war against a country.,Can it completely defeat the former world hegemon.,Or is it just a farce.
In the school house,Although the lights have been turned off,But for the electric shock princess Misaka Mikoto,It's not difficult to control the appropriate current to make a small radio machine work.,Not to mention when I just got my superpowers when I was a child.,It's not once or twice to hide under the covers to watch the electric light between your hands.
"Sister-sama, why haven't you rested yet~" A sweet-pitched but slightly tired voice sounded behind Mikoto Misaka, and when she turned around, she saw a tired Kuroko coming over, but what attracted Mikoto's attention even more was that there were many scratches and dust on Kuroko Tokiwadai's delicate school uniform, and Tokiwadai, which prides itself on being an aristocratic school, will not let students who claim to be dissatisfied with such a place
"Hey, sister, don't worry, it's just a group of gangsters who ran out in the middle of the night to steal the ATM machine, and the Discipline Commission member went to help Captain Huang Quanchuan arrest him" Kuroko stretched his waist and lay down on his bed, "Sister, are you still watching the news, wouldn't it be good to wait for tomorrow to read the announcement on the airship"
Mai Trin didn't respond, but fell into deep thought, this afternoon before school, the nasty blonde cow found her again, but this time she was different from usual, not to provoke, but to ......
"On the first night of the outbreak of the war, do you dare to see me outside, the super electromagnetic cannon ranked third in level5~"
โโฆโฆโ
How could you lose to that guy!!
(Suddenly I feel that two thousand chapters are a bit less _(:ะท"โ )_)
