Chapter 52: Hello, Goodbye
"Elder Zhao, give a brief introduction to the brothers in the Battle Hall. Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Salman instructed Elder Zhao, who was waiting on the side, to tell everyone the specific situation, not only Reinhardt's gang, but also most of the elders in the Council of Elders did not know what was going on.
"Commander Reinhardt, I'm Zhao Zhifeng, in charge of the intelligence work of the Council of Elders, although I also think that the Hartland people are a bunch of arrogant brutes, and it's not a day or two since I wanted to kill them, but we haven't done it, do you know why?" Elder Zhao, who looked like a shriveled old man, did not first introduce the situation according to Salman's instructions, but glared at Reinhardt and the others angrily.
"Because we can't afford the consequences of the failure of the operation, it is difficult for our strength to deal with two powerful countries at the same time, to be honest, if it weren't for the Hartland people holding back the main combat power of the Chuck Federation, we would have been finished a long time ago, otherwise you think that Ahed Β· Why didn't the Council of Elders overreact when that idiot changed to support you, but you went too far this time, and dared to attack the squid directly, he is a close confidant of the second prince of Hartland, I can guess your plan, but you failed, you completely screwed up. Haven't you thought about how much disaster this will bring to the organization?"
But he didn't wait for the blue-faced Reinhardt to reply, so he continued to talk to himself: "It's okay, the Supreme Bloodline still has the Council of Elders, and we gave you the ass." Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me take a look at how our Presbyterian Church is doing. β
He snapped his fingers, and a black-clad senior executive standing beside him walked to the edge of the hall and summoned his contract partner, a purple gold realm shadow beast, this realm shadow beast jumped to the ground, looked at the people around it, and then shot purple light from his eyes, and the purple light formed a plane in the middle of the hall, like a curtain. Gradually, images began to appear on the screen, and everyone was well-informed, and it soon became clear that it was taken from a bird's-eye view.
"This is our high-ranking executive, Black Butler. He and his twin brother Red Butler made a contract with the Purple Gold Realm Shadow Beast, which was also a twin brother, and it was amazing that these two Realm Shadow Beasts could transmit the images they saw to each other regardless of the distance of space, and project them, and now what everyone saw was the scene seen by the contract partner of Black Butler's brother Red Butler. Elder Zhao looked at Reinhardt and his group and introduced it proudly.
"In the early hours of this morning, one of the deepest secrets we buried in the Ministry of State Security sent a document, the content of the document is the battle that just happened in Wusong City, and it is because of this that we got this failed operation of the Battle Hall, I am really ashamed of you, Gandapo. Wei Guanghan is right, why haven't you wiped your neck yet?" he continued to mock.
Gandharva, who had recovered a little, was speechless by these words, and her trembling body silently told her current self-blame and guilt, and Jinnaro, who was still holding her chest, was even more angry, and wanted to stand up and say something, but was pressed to her seat by the boss of the Eight Tribes.
"Okay, Elder Zhao, we're not here to listen to your nonsense, anyway, we're already grasshoppers on a rope, you might as well say something useful, otherwise we'd better leave the federation as soon as possible, the province is an eyesore here." "Reinhardt is not angry at this time, things are already like this, if this cadre of the Presbyterian Church is still just talking here, I will take someone away, in fact, the people who have intersected with the Presbyterian Church, these outlaws who were originally speculators are not so concerned about the possible revenge of the Hartland people, and it is a big deal to leave, but it is a pity that the foundation laid down for so many years.
"Elder Zhao, get down to business. Salman also has some atmosphere, Reinhardt can die in the world, he is not willing to give up the inheritance passed down from his ancestors, and quickly stopped Elder Zhao from continuing to stimulate Reinhardt and these people.
"Yes, Grand Elder. "Elder Zhao's family has followed the Salman family for generations, and is Salman's most loyal supporter, naturally Salman is the leader, and the Salman family has not treated them badly, the intelligence agency of the supreme bloodline has been controlled by the Zhao family for decades, and the status in the supreme bloodline is second only to the soul manipulator Sterling.
"Information from our secret agents indicates that the Ministry of State Security has arranged for their latest airship to be airlifted to Mukden today. Elder Zhao continued.
"Today??air?" Yaksha, who was in charge of intelligence on the side of the battle hall, stood up suddenly, and brought the chairs under him with a hurried movement. "So you're going to intercept it?"
"Yes, the projection you see now is the image of the airspace where our people are, for this operation, we have dispatched a series of high-speed airships, three elders and thirteen high-ranking executives, among which the Red Butler will show us this great operation in the sky. Let's see how we wipe your." At this time, Elder Zhao has fallen into an extremely excited state, this time the entire interception operation is arranged by him, if it succeeds, it will be counted in one fell swoop, not only can continue Reinhardt's plan and solve the current dilemma that the Supreme Bloodline may be retaliated against by the Hartlants, but also slap Reinhardt fiercely, so that the Elder Council will have the upper hand in the next negotiations, not to mention that it can recover the decline brought to the Supreme Bloodline by the recent series of failures as much as possible.
Whether it was the people of the Presbyterian Council or the people of the Battle Hall, they all stared intently at the curtain that was seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters wide at this time, the picture on the curtain was very clear, and from the rolling clouds in the near distance, it could be judged that the operators of the Presbyterian Council were hiding in the clouds, and the altitude was extremely high, and they should have reached the maximum ceiling of the airship, and accurately grasped the movement trajectory of the federal airship. It can be said that everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the goal.
At this time, a black dot appeared in the extreme distance of the picture that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, but everyone present was a master with excellent eyesight and immediately captured this.
As the black dot approached, a rare cigar-shaped airboat gradually revealed its shape, as if it knew what everyone was thinking, and the picture on the curtain began to enlarge the ship, so that everyone present could see more details.
"Is this the Federation's latest secret weapon?" Yaksha muttered.
"Yes, this should be the Dusk, the battle where Zhuge Wen personally led the team to ambush Elder Willus was its first appearance. "The situation of the battle in Daintrian's Forest, the news that the upper echelons of the Supreme Bloodline have come back from the shadows, and they know a part, including the existence of the Dusk Yellow. But the shadows only know that there is such an experimental empty court, and other specific details are not accessible. This time, Zhuge Wenxian deliberately said that he would let the Dusk carry out the escort mission, which was also another bait, he knew that the people of the supreme bloodline would definitely be interested in this airship, so they would definitely not destroy the fake Dusk at a long distance, but would carry out boarding operations, which gave the explosion experts of the Ministry of State Security a lot of room to operate.
The people of the research institute are very meticulous in their work, even if it is just an empty shelf with a power system that is about to be scrapped, the appearance of the empty shelf is exactly the same as that of the real Dusk, except for the weapon systems, various detection systems and emergency escape systems that are arranged outside. Even so, several Supreme Bloodline personnel who had studied the airship a little were also excited. "Great Elder, you must get it, this is a treasure. An elder in charge of equipment development shouted feverishly.
"Rest assured, we have arranged for the capture of this Dusk. "Elder Zhao was extremely calm at this time, in his opinion, this Empty Court was already their supreme bloodline.
"It seems that the Federation is going to compensate Madame and break the army again this time, and Elder Zhao has made great contributions this time. An old woman who had just assumed the position of Elder of Internal Affairs squeezed her wrinkled face and complimented Elder Zhao, attracting more than a dozen people to echo her.
Yaksha was also engrossed in watching the impact picture, in fact, it was safest to sink this airship from a long distance, but it was not him who carried out the action, but a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart. "What's going on, there's something wrong. He muttered to himself, but looking at the surroundings including Reinhardt, and even the already dead Gandharva all looked excited, and he didn't dare to question it before he found the exact suspicion, so he had to continue to observe, trying to find out the reason for his shock.
"I'm about to get to the ambush circle. A high-ranking executive couldn't help but shout. At this time, the fake dusk was already two or three hundred meters away from the ambush point, and the voice of the on-site commander was heard in the video at this time.
"Three hundred. β
"Two hundred. β
"Ten seconds later, it was directly below. β
"Rope gun preparation, net gun preparation, impact run preparation, assault team preparation, sniper team preparation, all personnel are ready for impact. β
On the screen, the airship where the photographer is located begins to move slowly, constantly adjusting its direction to find the best angle for the rope gun to fire.
Behind each rope gun launcher, there is an automatic winch, and there are several net guns modified by the Flying Thunder Run, which are equipped with net pockets, and after they are played, there is a huge rope net, and several commandos equipped with rappelling equipment are also ready, these are the elders and senior executives who rushed to the "Dusk" in the first wave, and in the back, there are more than 20 action teams, as members of the second wave of attack teams, the sniper team originally equipped with the airship, took out the latest support guns of the Hartland Kingdom, ready to cover the shooting.
"Rope gun locking, net rope control, commando boarding, and sniper steam sweeping up the ordinary crew. Great Elder, this time we are going to be ashamed. Elder Zhao, who was getting more and more excited, showed off his plan.
Everyone in the hall became nervous at the sound of the video.
"Rope gun fire. β
A total of eight special throwing spears were shot at the "Dusk" directly below, and a long metal rope was tied to the tail of the flying spear, which was a rope gun equipped by armies of various countries before the invention of long-range weapons such as psionic cannons, most of which were used in naval battles, and are now also used by many small bandit groups on their armed airships.
The two airships of the Supreme Bloodline have played the role of thieves before, so the rope gun operators above are also veterans.
"One hits. β
"Number two hits. β
"Number four hits. β
"Number six hits. β
"Number Seven hits. β
"Number eight hits. β
Six of the eight rope guns on the two airships were hit, which was already quite good for this relatively old method of attack. At the same time, the winch attached to the rope also began to rotate rapidly, and the two armed airships quickly approached the "Dusk".
"The net cannon fires. β
Four net guns threw the giant net, enveloping the power plant and steering mechanism of the "Dusk", making it even more hopeless for the airship, which was already pulled by the rope to lose speed.
"Steady. An elder happily shouted out the hearts of all the people present.
"Commando, on. Another command was given, and fifteen figures were immediately seen, buckling their rappelling gear to the rope and crashing down the taut rope towards the airship below.
"No, that's not right. At this time, Yaksha stood up again, and he finally discovered the suspicion that had been bothering him, and that was the "Dusk" The deck was empty, although under normal circumstances, when the airship flew at this altitude, the passengers would stay in the pressurized cabin of the airship because of the thin air, but for such an important operation, the Ministry of State Security should at least arrange two three-person squads on the deck to be on guard, and according to the information he had collected in the past, the impact run counterattack time after receiving the attack of the airship unit of the federal army was about 20 seconds, as the latest airship under the control of the elite members of the Ministry of State Security, the reaction time would definitely be shorter than 20 seconds, but this was 18 seconds, and the Dusk still did not react at all, which must be wrongγ
He shouted with a hideous face, "Quick, let them retreat, this is a trap." At this time, there is no counterattack, and the people of the Ministry of State Security will not be so unvigilant. β
"Yaksha, pay attention to you..."Elder Zhao, who also had a trace of doubt in his heart, was shocked when he heard Yaksha's words, but how could he, who was at the peak of his life, admit his mistake at this moment, let alone allow others to accuse him.
He was about to reprimand Yaksha, when Zhuge Wenxian's voice suddenly came from the image.
It wasn't that Zhuge Wen was at the scene first, but a special photographic device was triggered by the commandos who rushed to the "Dusk". A huge image of Zhuge Wenxian appeared above the "Dusk".
In the video, Zhuge Wen sat on a large sofa first, with a set of exquisite tea sets on the table in front of him, he picked up a cup of tea, and faced the direction where the red deacon was, as if he saw everyone in the main hall, gently raised the teacup and gave a salute: "Hello all the supreme bloodline!"
"No!" Elder Zhao shouted hysterically. Seeing this, even a fool knows that this is a full set, the commandos who have landed on the "Dusk" are quickly climbing the rope, trying to return to the armed airship, and the armed airship is also urgently turning direction, the originally stable image also began to shake violently, it should be the photographer moving the position quickly, and the image also came with the command of the captain of the airship to ask the crew to cut the rope, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.
In the hall of the supreme bloodline, there was already a dead silence at this time, only Elder Zhao was still wailing unconsciously.
"Let them jump ship and use the speed of the airship to drop the cabin. Let's run a few times. The first to react was Yaksha, who screamed as he pressed the table in front of him, and this shout also woke up the panicked crowd.
Sterling hurriedly struck a requiem blow that controlled the strength of the requiem on Elder Zhao, bringing him back to his senses.
Breaking free from the hysteria, he quickly took out the intercom pinned to his waist and shouted: "Jump ship, jump ship." Use speed to drop positions. β
At this time, everyone knew that they were just doing their best to obey their fate.
Elder Zhao's order was too late at this time, Zhuge Wen in the image took a sip of tea elegantly, and then raised his glass again to greet "Everyone, goodbye!", after speaking, the originally calm eyes became solemn, and then the entire image dissipated in the air, and at the same time, "Dusk" The carefully set detonation device began its mission, detonating all the spiritual bombs buried inside the airship, and an earth-shattering explosion exploded at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, like a brilliant firework, and this firework is so terrible in the eyes of the people of the supreme bloodline, because it can kill.
The first to hit the action team was metal fragments, countless prefabricated fragments of special metal inside the bomb, mixed with the small wreckage of the "Dusk", under the impetus of the explosion, a dense metal storm was formed, rushing towards the face at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, and almost all objects in front of it, whether physical or mechanical, were penetrated and torn. Only the three Elders of the Transcendent Realm relied on their spiritual skills, equipment, and strong bodies to not die under this wave of attacks, and all the remaining personnel were torn apart by this storm.
The red deacon, who had already died, died on the spot without any suspense, and the image in the hall finally came: "Mom, I don't want to die." And then it stopped.
Then there was the shock wave generated by the explosion, the huge pressure and tens of thousands of degrees of heat of the carrier, once again swept the entire area, although the three elders were still resisting with difficulty, their internal organs were squeezed, deformed, cracked and even exploded under the power of the shock wave, so that they could no longer maintain the spiritual power that was running.
Finally, there was an endless flame, filled with tens of thousands of cubic meters in a radius, burning everything they touched into ashes, and the three of them didn't even snort, and they were burned up like everything around them.
An explosion of this magnitude is estimated to be resisted only by a strong person of the Supreme Realm, and there is no doubt that all the operatives present at that time have turned to ashes.
"Zhuge Wenxian!" Elder Zhao finally couldn't bear the pressure and shouted, then a mouthful of black blood spit out, and he fell down with his head up.
Whether he was really faint or pretended to faint in shame, no one cared. All the people were still immersed in the devastating scene at that time, and the Supreme Tribulation that Ye Wenqin attracted at the beginning was only a powerful coercion, but it made people like Zhuge Wenxian feel desperate, and this explosion caused indelible damage to the psychology of everyone present.
"Dead, just dead. The female elder who was still flattering Elder Zhao just now was like the Gandharva who had just been sent down by Mahuraga, and she collapsed on the ground in despair.
Counting this time, in just one month, the Council of Elders has lost five elders, dozens of high-level executives, a base that has been in operation for several years, and the loss of the lower-level armed forces is even more timeless. A DEBUFF CALLED Zhuge Wenxian's Fear has been layered in their hearts, almost reaching the effect of -50% of their combat power.
The first to come to his senses was Yaksha, "Inform you of that shadow." As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down decadently again, "It's over, that guy is finished, this is Zhuge Wenxian's serial plan, he will definitely be able to dig out the shadows." β
Salman sat there with his eyes closed, he was a little disheartened at this time, during the period after being beaten by Zhuge Wen a few decades ago, he was like this, living in fear and remorse every day, so for a long time later, the style of the Presbyterian Council became cringe, he didn't know the opinions of the people below him, but he was really woken up by Zhuge Wen first, only another kingdom can deal with one kingdom, and when he wanted to report the Thighs of the Hartland people again, the Hartland turned to support Reinhardt like a convulsive, which made him high-profile againγ
That is, after Kumar Nalaman came to power, he changed his policy, so that the Supreme Bloodline Elders' Church has regained a lot of strength in the past two years.
In fact, the several victories of the Ministry of State Security in the past month are all related to Ye Wenqin, if it weren't for this otherworldly soul that shouldn't exist, Salman might really be able to do something, but, who would have thought.
"That's fate. Salman was really discouraged at this time, watching the originally full team of elders become as talented as it is now, who could not be discouraged, even the always arrogant Hartling had no voice, and drank cup after cup of tea that had already been cold.
If you want to talk about the people present, who is the most uncomfortable, it is Salman, but in terms of who is happy, there is really one, that is Gandharva, compared to her mistakes, the Council of Elders is really playing away this time, at least she was facing a transcendent realm at the time, and she also killed many people in the Federation, she lowered her head, not wanting others to see his gloating eyes.
Reinhardt, who was sitting in front of Gandharva, was the most entangled one at this time, on the one hand, he hoped that Elder Zhao's operation would be successful, not to mention capturing the Dusk, at least he could completely kill the two squid, in this way, his backhands might play some more roles, at least the dead squid would not bring the truth back to Hartland. But seeing the failure of the operation, the strength of the Council of Elders was hit hard again, which made him a little excited, after all, he was here to fight for power, and a weak Council of Elders was more in his interests, and he had already begun to plan to the Celestials, Dragons, and Yaksha Chuanyin how to use this matter. As for the revenge on Hartland's side, let's talk about it when he takes control.
This is really a hundred people and a hundred phases, how can such a supreme bloodline not decline.
