Chapter 429: Bat Emperor
As countless bubbles, splashes, and a door panel blackened and deformed by the impact fell into the water, and the fierce currents of water frantically washed over the surface of the Winged Knight's armor, Roy felt an invisible force pull him underwater. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Quickly pulling out the respirator from his waist and putting it in his mouth, Roy briefly assessed his condition. The metal door panel withstood most of the blast's impact, the outward-facing side was charred black, and his armor also acted as a cushion, and some of the collateral impact from falling into the water was removed, so his own damage was not serious.
A hole opened at the bottom of each boot, and the blisters spat out backwards with the swirling airflow, pushing Roy's body away from the Black Gate.
Gotham Pier.
Some of the newly released SWAT officers sat on the ground, some rested on the containers on the dock, while Barbra and Kassandra stood by the water's edge without saying a word, waiting quietly.
"It's been almost an hour." Gordon walked over to the two of them and said.
"I know." Barbara said, pausing, "He'll come." ”
Gordon nodded, thoughtful.
"You trust him."
"Because he's proven so many times," Barbara smiled, "he can be trusted." ”
The crisp sound of footsteps on the hollow metal attracted everyone's attention, and the winged knight, covered in armor, stood on top of the red shipping container, panting softly.
Barbara breathed a sigh of relief: "If you see it, I'll tell you." ”
Roy jumped out of the container and asked, "All of them are out?" ”
"Everyone we can find." "I've said it in there, but I'd like to say it again...... I'm so glad to see you all at this damn time. ”
"So do we, Director Gordon." Roy Road.
"We have many more," Gordon said. A few policemen, as well as quite a few civilians, have been placed in shelters, just waiting for us to get the last SWAT officers back. ”
Barbara asked, "What are your plans?" ”
Gordon let out a long sigh: "I'm sorry, but my people ...... I'm afraid I can't help anymore. They have all lost their fighting spirit and have run out of ammunition and food. We've got a hundred wooden boats on the east coast of Gotham, and we'll get everyone in the vault to evacuate when we're ready. ”
After a pause, he said, "But I will stay, and I will fight with you until the end." ”
Roy shook his head, "No need, Director. You are the signpost and lighthouse for these people, and you need to show them the way. Take them to find their way to survival, Director, I'm here in Gotham. ”
"But ......"
"The duty of the police is to defend the law, chief." "But now," Roy said, "there is no legal protection left in this place." Now all that's left of Gotham is war, and that's not the responsibility of the police. ”
"But is that yours?" Gordon asked rhetorically.
Roy stared at him earnestly for a moment.
"I'm the guy Gotham needs me to be." He said lightly, "This is Batman's legacy." Now that he's gone, it's my responsibility. So yes, it's my duty. ”
Gordon sighed softly.
"Okay."
Black Mask sat in front of his office, looking down on the war-torn city.
"Although the Order controls the world, they don't seem to have much interest in Gotham. I don't know why, but they must have been more happy to see us fight. Black Mask said suddenly, "But I guess we're the wiser two." ”
He turned around and saw Bane appear at some point.
"Back on the battlefield, don't think I'm as stupid as your henchmen." Bane said coldly, "I want information." ”
"Of course." Black Mask pulled back his seat and sat down, saying, "My men report that the Scarecrow has escaped after the Battle of the Black Gate and is being treated in the sewers by our green-scaled friend. In a few hours, he should be sent back to his home in Wayne Mansion - that piece is now theirs. However, it is said that they are not afraid of you. ”
Bane's face wasn't very good-looking.
"Actually, I've met quite a few of Arkham's talents since we spoke yesterday, and they're surprisingly ......consistent," Black Mask said with a sneer, "Bane is no different from us, just a momentary success. Let me give you a simple fact, my cousin, no matter how many killers and brawny men you bring from Santa Priska Island, or some new secret weapon, these Arkham lunatics have been through a much worse situation. Believe it or not, compared to your invincible Titans, they are now more afraid of the Winged Knight alone. ”
Bane frowned.
On the same day, after returning to the Black Gate Prison, Bane completely ignored the many things in his team, including the excessive number of wounds, and plunged headlong into the workshop of Black Gate's underground supplies and practical supplies.
He took the initiative to pick up a hammer and hammer the red-hot steel, laser-weld a sturdy bracelet, and spent a lot of effort creating a metal helmet in the shape of a bat, stuffing the flaming eyepieces into his eyes.
Finally, with a blue alloy bat mark on his chest and a pitch-black cape, he stepped out of his workshop and stood in the midst of a thunderstorm and shouted, "Batman has been reborn!" ”
Gotham, East Coastline.
Hundreds of small wooden boats rowed together on the water towards the other side of the dark city, and more than 20 people remained on the shore, and the scene was quite spectacular.
"This is the last batch." Gordon stood on the shore, wiped his sweat, and lit a cigarette, "Those crazy people in the east are having a lively fight, and at worst, we might find out what we're doing in minutes." ”
Agatha carried a bandaged SWAT officer to the boat and said, "I did my best, Jim, my men have been tortured in that hellish prison for a long time, and they can't go fast." ”
"I know, but we can't do anything else." Gordon Road.
Roy jumped off a reef and asked, "How did you arrange that?" ”
"The land is about three miles away, and we can get to the shore if we go straight." "Take Waterfront Highway 88 and go two miles north of it and you should see the State Patrol Building," Gordon said. ”
Roy nodded, "Good." ”
Gordon sighed, "I said, or you can leave with us." You know how tough you're going to have to do next, right? ”
"I know." Roy nodded, "That's one of the reasons why I stayed. ”
"I knew it, just casually asking." Gordon smiled bitterly, then solemnly stretched out a hand, "Although it hasn't been a long time now, it's an endless honor to be able to work with you. ”
Roy smiled: "It's not like I'm going to die." ”
But he still shook Gordon's hand.
Jim Gordon was the last to get on board. After the last ship left the shore, all of them looked silently at the shadow on the shore with reverence.
Barbara stepped forward and asked, "What now?" ”
"Now, I need you to contact Nightwing and his men, and we may need more living forces in the future." "In the meantime, I'm going to go to the scarecrow's den to find out what's going on inside their alliance." (To be continued.) )
