Sixty-four, the soul of the broken blue bridge
When he first heard the distant sound of whistling through the air, Wang Qiu thought that someone was bombarding each other with homemade fertilizer-fueled crude rockets, or "flying water pipes...... It wasn't until the sharp sound of breaking the air was getting closer and closer, so that they could see the light of the fire in the night sky, that it dawned on them.
ββ¦β¦ Damn it! This is the enemy's target! Hurry up and hide! β
Such a short warning time was too late to retreat, just enough for them to lie on the ground, burying their heads in the grass and dirt.
The next moment, the shock wave of the explosion and the heat of the flames hit him head-on, causing Wang Qiu to feel a buzzing in his head for a while.
He coughed a few times, brushed away the blades of grass and floating dirt covering his face, and looked up with difficulty to find that a burning street had appeared in front of him. Of the two minibuses carrying the captured senior officials, the first one was hit directly by a rocket and jumped to the ground. And its burning wreckage slammed into the rear car, trapping at least dozens of people in a raging sea of fire with lightning speed.
ββ¦β¦ Oh-no! Damn it! Prime Minister Mason and the entire cabinet are on it! "Harry, former Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and now Interim Cabinet Secretary. Seeing this, Gordon groaned, and despite his dizziness and numbness, he stood up against the wall, and took out his wand to cast a spell to save people.
However, he was still a step too lateβbefore he could get into the right position, recite the awkward incantation, and cast a fire-extinguishing balloon magic, another huge explosion rang out, shaking the houses and street trees slightly. And the two unlucky minibuses have completely turned into two big fireballs. It also burned several survivors who had just struggled to climb out of the minibus into a burning man amid heart-rending screams.
-- The newly rescued Prime Minister Mason, members of the Labour Cabinet, and more than 30 abducted members of the House of Commons. All turned to ashes.
ββ¦β¦ No need to save it, Mr. Gordon, it's all over! Wang Qiu smiled bitterly and complained, and at the same time stood up, looked at the street lamps and streets that had been blown up all around, and then looked at the Westminster Parliament Building, which was still quiet not far away. I couldn't help but wonder a little, "...... It's strange that the enemy poured all the shells here. And there is no Capitol with a more obvious target and more troops? How the hell did they know we were here? Could it be that spies are in ambush near us, who are directing the rear artillery by radio? β
He looked up at the buildings around him, as if looking for an observation post for enemy artillery scouts. But as a matter of course, nothing was obtained.
ββ¦β¦ Probably not through the eyes of the soldier. Not to mention through the camera lens of the monitor - let's just say that, dozens of seconds before the explosion began, I suddenly felt a faint disturbance of magic power, you know, there is always some kind of special sense between wizards and wizards, through prophecy spells, you can always vaguely judge the general location of the other party...... And the characteristics of this magic seem familiar......"
Harry who had just tidied up his clothes. Gordon explained to Wang Qiu. While gesticulating a few strange gestures, he cast a prophecy spell. A faint silver light could be seen flowing through his fingertips, "...... The enemy's firing position seems to be quite far from here, and the weapon used just now should not be an RPG bazooka, but a real rocket launcher...... Oh, I feel it, it's Roderick, the old guy, at Waterloo Bridge! β
He shouted as if excited and a little murderous, then took out the walkie-talkie and began to contact the large troops in the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, "...... Pooh! Pooh! Can you hear me? The enemy who shelled here just now is at Waterloo Bridge! Not only did I detect heat and gunpowder gases, but I also felt a magical reaction! The traitors of the rebellion are there! Tell those vampires to fly over and keep an eye on them! Don't let people run! β
Then, Harry. Gordon took off the magic broom tied diagonally from his back, and tied the wand of the loot he had captured earlier to his arm, and then turned his head and said to Wang Qiu, "...... Although those vampires call themselves 'nobles of the night', they are nothing more than inexperienced rookie chicks in front of dueling masters like Roderick. So, I'm going to check them down first, and you're going to assemble those 'firefighting supplies' quickly......"
ββ¦β¦ You mean...... Those firefighting missiles? There are only a few left! What warhead to use? Wang Qiu scratched his hair and asked.
ββ¦β¦ Whatever, as long as your missile can destroy Waterloo Bridge accurately and not do random Brownian motion like Indian missiles! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the darkness of the night, the mighty waters of the River Thames flow quietly under Waterloo Bridge.
Waterloo Bridge was built in 1817 as a nine-hole stone bridge. When it was completed and opened to traffic, it was the second anniversary of the Duke of Wellington's victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, and the bridge was named Waterloo Bridge. Today, Waterloo Bridge has long been converted into a modern reinforced concrete bridge, which looks simple but elegant from afar, and is worthy of a famous street scene in the city of London. The five holes under the bridge are like five rainbows connected end to end, spanning the north and south sides of the Thames River.
Because it is located in the heart of downtown London, the River Thames happens to make a nearly 90-degree bend here. Therefore, if you enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Waterloo Bridge, it can almost be said that it is the best place with the best perspective and the most beautiful scenery.
In the famous American movie "Waterloo Bridge" (Chinese translation "Soul Broken Blue Bridge", direct translation is "Waterloo Bridge"), the tragic scene of the heroine who fell into fireworks committed suicide by throwing herself into the river on Waterloo Bridge makes Shijie audiences from all over the world sigh at its storyline, but also have further attention and understanding of Waterloo Bridge, and often list it as one of the classic attractions that must be visited when traveling to London.
However, today, this famous bridge, which was once full of tourists, and its two shores, is about to become a bloody and terrible battlefield.
Looking at the flames rising in the direction of Whitehall, the former executive director of the British Ministry of Magic. Sir Roderick, a veteran combat wizard, clenched his wand as he spotted a magical reaction as striking as a beacon in the night, moving quickly from the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, where it had changed hands, to Waterloo Bridge, where he was. Sir Roderick understood: the current wave of Jedi counterattacks from Zuihou will also end in failure!
- If only a small group of armed forces had occupied Westminster, they might still have some strength to fight, and if they were lucky, they might still have some chance of retaking Whitehall and the Houses of Parliament...... But judging from the current situation where the opponent's elite soldiers and strong generals are gathered, I am afraid that there is no hope anymore.
Therefore, he calmly sent Chief Macmillan away from Waterloo Bridge and took most of the armed men with him. Others are not willing to fight any longer. They all scattered and escaped. Only he and a few volunteers stayed behind to break the queen, silently waiting for the final judgment of fate.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the speed of the enemy attack in the Atlas - Chief Macmillan hadn't gone far yet. The battle was already underway on Waterloo Bridge: the vampires flapping their wings took the lead, skimming over the bridge at high speed with their speeds, while not forgetting to shoot the bridge with automatic rifles, sending stone chips flying on the spot. splashed with blood flowers; Then several grenades fell in the air. An explosion that was almost enough to burst the eardrum immediately sounded, and the entire bridge seemed to tremble with it, causing the dust and debris on the bridge to fall one after another.
But under Sir Roderick's command, the rebels on the bridge were not to be outdone, and immediately returned fire with all their might with miniature submachine guns, pistols, and wands, as well as the remaining rockets, not to hit any targets, but to interfere with the vampires' ground attacks.
Thereupon. Margaret, the vampire true ancestor with the highest rank but the weakest combat power, was accidentally bruised by a spell and bruised her wings. He immediately let out a frightened scream of pain, and then ignored the enemy in front of him, just folded his wings and landed on the embankment, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, covering the wounds on his wings and crying. And the remaining few vampires, who were also very rusty with combat skills, were also too frightened to approach, and just circled and wandered outside the range.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and then, Harry. Gordon, the most powerful wizard in Britain, also descended on a magic broomstick, suspended in mid-air at a distance of more than ten meters from the railing of the bridge. The armed men on the bridge immediately fired several boxes of bullets at him, but under the effect of the airtight high-level protection spell, he saw strings of sparks crumbling continuously, but not even Harry's hair was messed up.
Sir Roderick raised his hand to signal his men to stop firing, and then stood up with his wand in hand, confronting Harry across the bridge. And Harry. After gesticulating, Gordon also landed in a clearing on the bridge deck, threw the magic broom aside casually, and also drew the wand he had snatched from his waist, and his eyes burst out with a burning look, and he duel with Sir Roderick.
At this time, the bright moon finally broke through the obstruction of the cloudy sky, and sprinkled a faint silver glow on Waterloo Bridge and on the faces of the two men. The two powerful wizards who were second to none in the world just stood quietly looking at each other, neither side made any moves, but just being aroused by the vigorous battle intent between them, the agitation momentum like a substance, was already able to make ordinary people dare not approach at all.
Although the momentum of the two wizards is equal, it is obvious that one side is in high spirits, and the other side is quite haggard and depressed.
After a dull moment of confrontation, Sir Roderick finally couldn't help but speak first, "...... There you are? β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Roderick, I'm coming. Since you are bent on dying, how can I, as your boss, not come to give you a ride? β
Harry. Gordon said with a smirk, bowing slightly, performing a wizard's special etiquette, and his face showed a rather regretful look, "...... Hey, isn't this just layoffs and unemployment! Now that the domestic economy is in such difficulty, there is no way to streamline the government. And it's not that you haven't been assigned a new job -- you won't go to the Antarctic research station, but you will embark on this road of no return for treason? β
ββ¦β¦ Treason? I am here to save this country defiled by aliens and infidels! Sir Roderick snorted and protested.
ββ¦β¦ Say whatever you want! But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the rebellion and reckless actions of you 'patriots' that Britain has fallen into the miserable situation of being slaughtered by all countries...... Such a great achievement. Not even Napoleon and Hitler did it! β
Harry. Gordon shook his head in pain, "...... At this time, are you still unwilling to repent of your sins? β
ββ¦β¦ That's enough! Don't play with your tongue anymore. Harry! Sir Roderick said coldly, raising his wand as he raised his wand, a red light directed at Harry. Gordon shot straight at him, but was deflected off by the protective spell, not hurting a single hair.
However, with this as a signal for the start of war, a wizarding duel between the two officially broke out. The two sides flexibly changed positions. Dodge your opponent's attacks while swinging your wand and throwing a dazzling array of attack spells - red, green, blue, and golden beams of light crisscross the night sky, and fireballs, lightning, and acid fly in the moonlight...... In the midst of explosions, phantoms, and fires. Two top wizards are fighting each other. The burst of magic and the scorching torrent blended together to create a powerful aura that seemed to destroy everything!
In the heat of battle, the concrete bridge deck was suddenly turned up like a ploughed field of soft wheat, and then shattered inch by inch in fireballs and explosions. The street lamps on both sides were cut alive by the sharp blades condensed by magic. Shattered and smashed, shards of glass and metal flying in the air...... Ordinary people's naked eyes can no longer see their ultra-high-speed movements, and they can only vaguely feel the aftermath of the battle between the two.
The back and forth lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Suddenly, an off-course spell flew out of the arena and into the left chest of one of the rebels. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees. But Sir Roderick finally crushed Harry with a spell. Gordon's close defensive spell, then another magic blade knocked the wand in his hand away.
ββ¦β¦ Ahem, sure enough. It's not easy to use someone else's wand! It's a pity that my wand was stolen by a monkey in an Indian hotel......"
Harry who lost his weapon. Gordon, looking haggard, leaned his back against the bridge railing. He coughed and chattered.
Sir Roderick's reaction was simple, as he raised his wand and pointed it right at Harry's chest, "...... You've lost, Harry! β
However, Harry's face showed no frustration or panic, instead a strange smile.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, Roderick, you thought it was just a duel? But it's actually a war! β
The next moment, he turned over with great agility, jumped off the bridge with a magic broom, and then successfully changed his position before falling into the water, riding a broom sticky to the water, and flew hundreds of meters away in an instant.
At the same time, there was a screech in the night sky that is characteristic of missiles or rockets flying. Huge fireballs streaked across the night sky, dazzling like meteors.
Sir Roderick, who was not nimble-minded, finally changed his expression at this point. Driven by his will to survive, he was about to use the teleportation scroll to escape alone, but found that the bridge had been distracted by Harry's spell at some point, and he couldn't teleport at all!
ββ¦β¦ Boom~~~~~~ boom!! β
A dull popping sound came from Waterloo Bridge, the initial explosion was not too loud, but with the missile explosion point as the center, a white fog spread like a wave under the pressure of the center...... Then came the truly deadly second explosion:
ββ¦β¦ Rumble!!!! β
This is the voice of Sir Roderick, the first director of the executive department of the British Ministry of Magic, Zuihou, who heard Zuihou in the world......
At the launch site of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster in the southwest, Wang Qiu, as the initiator, proudly admired the bright mushroom clouds slowly rising over Waterloo Bridge through the telescope in his hand, and at the same time felt the heat wave coming like a sea of mountains.
-- This is the tremendous destructive power that has been exerted after replacing the "civilian firefighting missile" with a cloudburst warhead!
Different from the general high-explosive warhead, the cloudburst warhead is filled with a large amount of epoxyacetylene, when the warhead hits and ruptures, the epoxyacetylene will be evenly dispersed in the air, forming an endless white fog (suspended aerosol), and then ignited by the fuse of the secondary detonation, so that all the areas shrouded in white fog instantly exploded violently, making the wall of fire up to 2500 degrees Celsius violently swept the entire Waterloo bridge deck, destroying and instantly burning everything it could touch. Burn all living people within the killing radius into a humanoid coke. The air heated by this huge fireball slammed into the sky with charred ash and debris, forming a spectacular mushroom cloud......
Therefore, under the intensive bombardment of six cloudburst bombs, the renegade wizards and rebels on Waterloo Bridge should be absolutely dead. In Gordon's experience, the most protective spells are to be able to withstand machine gun bullets, and they are not strong enough to withstand cloudburst bullets.
However, just as the Waterloo Bridge was twisting, deforming, shattering and collapsing in the violent explosion, Wang Qiu suddenly heard a series of explosions in the far south, and vaguely saw several skyscrapers collapsing in the firelight...... With just a slight frown, he guessed the reason:
ββ¦β¦ Hey, French Foreign Legion...... Or maybe the EU intervention force has already entered the city! It's really fast! (To be continued......)
