Chapter 760: The Fall of Cthulhu
Not all requests for help will be answered, especially if the person being called upon is another group of enemies.
The departure of Femia and Scarlett means that the Cthulhu Organization is once again on its own, and the only way out is to fight for their lives.
In a berserk state, Morrigan stood at the front of the team, leading the cadres of Cthulhu all the way out, Rao is water system archmage did not dare to face the surprise attack of the high-level molten fire giants of the pure spirit, and could only continue to launch various spells on the side to consume, and the other three melee pure spirits were now in a very embarrassing situation, not that they had no spare strength, but they were unwilling to rush forward at such a time.
Everyone knows that trapped beasts are the most dangerous, and these half-giants in front of them can be said to do whatever it takes to escape, and at this time they go up to block the road, that is the way of life, and they must be desperate, but none of them have the confidence that they can be safe and sound under the full blow of Morrigan, just like the gunsmith killed by Scarlett before, these pure spirit powerhouses enjoy the most favorable treatment in Ottoman, and live happily, no one wants to die early in this kind of place.
No matter how horizontal it is, I'm afraid that this group of people will die!
Retreat and retreat, the defense line also retreated and retreated, the superintendent shouted and broke his throat, and several pure spirits just showed no signs of going up, and they all seemed to have made up their minds to wait for Morrigan to exhaust his strength and then catch them all.
"Jeff, take them away, I'll come to the back!"
During the evacuation, Morrigan yelled at Jeff beside her, she could feel the weakening of her strength, and the effects of the berserk were gradually dissipating...... She couldn't hold it anymore!
"Chief, you take people away, and after I come to cushion, I can still go berserk and be able to hold out for a while. β
"We can too!Chief, take the young lady away, we can stop them!"
Not only Jeff, but also the cadres of Cthulhu were unwilling to abandon their leader.
"Shut up for me, there are still four Pure Spirit Professionals on the other side, if you don't leave, we will all die here by then, I can feel a powerful aura approaching, it is the mortar of the Ottoman family...... Jeff, this is an order, I want you to make sure that Haria and everyone survive, you ...... Without the existence of the Cthulhu Organization, you are free half-giants, and Qingshu will accept you, just take revenge for me, and leave!"
Morrigan stopped everyone's words, it is true that Jeff and all the Cthulhu cadres were behind him, and they could indeed drag these people in front of them at the expense of their lives, but she was the only one left, and the molars of the Ottoman family could spare her?
"Chief...... Miss Haria, let's go. β
At this point, Jeff stopped saying anything stupid about dying together, and if they all died here, the government forces wanted to see the most, grabbed Harya's arm and ran out, trying to take her away from the battlefield.
"Mother!"
Looking at Morrigan who had stopped, Harya's shouts were heartbreaking.
"Harya, you have to live no matter what, you are the continuation of my life......"
Standing in the middle of the street, facing the four Pure Spirits in pursuit, a wall of fire several meters high rose behind them, burning a molten fissure in the street, completely cutting off the two sides, and looking back at the departing Cthulhu members for the last time, the sadness and pain in their eyes were hidden, and all that was left was determination and madness.
"Everyone be careful, what follows is the suicidal attack of the high-level elemental half-giant!"
The superintendent's hand holding the walkie-talkie was white, the crazy counterattack of the Pure Spirit high-level elemental half-giant, no one could cause much casualties, today's encirclement and suppression accidents are frequent, so far, in fact, it is already a failure, just to kill this Morrigan can have less losses.
On the other side of the wall of fire, leaning against Morrigan's wall of fire, Jeff and his party faced a small number of soldiers, and there were members of the Cthulhu organization not far away, and it didn't take much time to break through this layer of defense, and the two giants quickly converged.
In order not to reveal their whereabouts and cancel the giant form, the members of Cthulhu gasped for breath, counting the half-giants who came to support, the number of remaining members here was less than thirty, and the heavy casualties were not enough to describe the current miserable situation.
"Deputy Leader, what do we do next?"
Looking blankly at the corpses strewn across the streets and behind the distant walls of fire, the members suddenly realized that the title Cthulhu might disappear from Sambia after today.
"Follow the leader's instructions and go find Aoki. β
Jeff hugged Haria, who was knocked unconscious by him, and if he had stopped her, the girl might have rushed back to the wall of fire, and the retreat did not stop, and they had to get out of here quickly.
"We're going to join the green tree...... Surrender to them?"
The accompanying Cthulhu cadres asked a little depressed, they had been fighting with Qingshu for so long, but they didn't expect to be defeated by the government in the end, not to mention, but to surrender to Qingshu, it was really not an acceptable ending.
"You're right, but it's just my decision, the organization of Cthulhu has disappeared since the moment the leader decided, and you're all free now, it's up to you to decide whether to go or stay. β
Now there is nothing, the only remnants of the Cthulhu organization are vengeful souls, in order to be able to take revenge on the Ottoman family, Jeff will do whatever it takes, and after speaking, he doesn't care how the half-giants around him act, just go his own way.
"Let's go, where else can we go? What about joining the green tree, everyone is a half-giant, at least they can be called the same race. β
For the future, the remaining half-giants don't actually have much choice, as Fimia said before, when Cthulhu disappears, the Sambia region will be taken over by Qingshu, these half-giants want to live better, they can only join Qingshu, the leader is only a matter of time before he dies in battle, the deputy leader is ready to surrender to Qingshu, they still insist on that kind of heart, can they be eaten?
By this time the heavy rain had gradually stopped, and the sky was still overcast......
**
The rainy season has finally come to an end in the hopes of the refugees, followed by a bitter winter, and the catastrophic consequences of the floods have not been alleviated, but have become more difficult to deal with because of the sharp drop in temperatures.
Homeless refugees wander in the city and wilderness, before they may be able to hold on, but now because of the cold and desperate need shelter, the government under the instructions of the top to try to alleviate the current predicament, but hundreds of thousands of refugees can not be said to be resettled, just the daily consumption of food and other materials is a huge expense for major regions, not to mention that it is now a tense period, the imperial government also needs to put more energy into the mobilization of military materials, saving refugees is important, but if you can't even hold the territory, what else to use to protect the refugeesοΌ
And just when the government is in a dilemma, some forces in the Sambia region have already begun their own plans.
At the Selgang railway station, a large number of local officials are gathering in the hall, receiving the latest news that the mayors of the three cities of Oshelin, Minit, and Ladoa will come to visit Selangand together today, and it is not uncommon for the mayors of various cities in the Sambia region to visit each other, because many cities belong to different powers, and the terms of business dealings and other cooperation between them need to be discussed by the upper echelons before the decision can be made.
Although Sergant is a bustling port city, it is still a little worse than the core city of Sambia such as Oshelin and Minit, and this kind of three-to-one visit can be said to be unprecedented.
It is worth noting that Oshelin is the domain of the Ottoman family, Lorrell is the ruling family of Minit, and Prudence is the ruling family of Ladoia, which means that these three mayors represent not only their own city, but also the attitude of the forces behind them, which is what makes so many officials gather at the train station.
"You guys have come up with a plan! You are not deaf, you all know the rumors outside and the information from above, right? Ottoman, Lorel, and Prudence are determined to go with the Rimai Sect, what do they want to do when they come to visit at this time? We people gather here to greet them, if a picture is taken and sent to the superior, who will be able to get rid of that hat on their heads!"
It is very common etiquette for government officials to welcome mayors from other regions to visit, but now the situation is so sensitive, and the geographical location of Sergent is so special, their group of people are lined up here to welcome the three mayors, and they have to put on a happy appearance, and everyone has to think more!
"If there is a plan, will we still stand here, can't you see it, they are forcing us to make a statement, do you know how many news agency teams are outside? Let's shake hands here, and it will be rumored that a secret agreement has been reached outside, if we bow, tomorrow the headline of the newspaper will be that so-and-so government official shows loyalty to a certain nobleman!"
In the middle of waiting, the argument between the government officials was fierce, in the crowd, the bloated Minister of Transport of Sergant held a silk scarf and kept wiping his sweat, the temperature in early January was only in the single digits, but he just couldn't help sweating out, he couldn't stop it, while the people around him were discussing some specious things, he quietly went to the edge of the line and recruited his secretary.
"Is there any news from Mr. Atwood?"
If there is anyone present who is closest to Atwood, it is undoubtedly him, as the manager of the sea transportation of Sergant, his job is to ensure that the merchant ships can smoothly enter and exit the port and the goods before entering the port.
To take the simplest example, "black goods" have always been the most profitable, but this money must be collected very carefully, if you are caught, it is a report, you have to spend a lot of money to dredge, pull relationships, if you meet some greedy, you will be extorted a large sum.
More than 70 percent of the black merchants in the Sambia area are listed under the banner of Qingshu, and their entry and exit to the sea are all controlled by Qingshu, and this money is also paid uniformly, as long as he sits on the sofa at home, he will send you valuable things according to the law, and now he collects gold coins that are the lowest, and yesterday he only received an antique vase with a market price of tens of thousands of gold, and Xuancheng was bought from the market, and absolutely no one could check the way, because the stall owner set up a stall for a day, and only gave him one person!
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures on the stall, thinking that it might be his own in the future, he trembled with excitement, such a partner, he is willing to support until the end of the world!
Therefore, when he received the news that he was going to welcome the three mayors today, he immediately thought of what Atwood had said two days ago, and sent him a message without hesitation.
"Just now...... It's Mr. Atwood's number!"
The secretary was about to speak, when the communicator that he had been holding in his hand suddenly vibrated and it was Atwood calling.
"It's finally here, you're watching here, I'll go over there and pick it up. β
Holding the phone, he let out a long breath and trotted to the hidden place next to him.
This series of actions of the Minister of Transport is actually in the sight of some well-intentioned people.
"Hmph, this guy is really anxious, I saw him just now, the sweat on his face is like rain, I don't know and I think something happened at home. β
Sergant's second-in-command, the deputy mayor, looked at the sweaty Minister of Transport with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm afraid, if we are really taken over, a key department like port transportation, do you think he can save it......? Do you think Aoki will stop it? Mr. Atwood's side ......"
"Stop, stop what?"
The deputy mayor suddenly looked at the propaganda minister beside him with a strange expression.
"Isn't it obvious that the mayors of Oshelin, Minit, and Radoa want us to take a stand and join their coalition. β
Cautiously speaking his thoughts, he looked at the deputy mayor's expression from time to time.
"So, if you look at the people around you, don't you think there's something missing. β
"This ...... What about the mayor? The Admiral is not here, why are there so many people missing, and why is Mr. Fitt going out?"
The Minister of Propaganda looked left and right, and found that the officials present were not only those with low status, but also those with higher status in the government, including the Ministry of Transportation, the Propaganda Department, the Organization Department, the Personnel Bureau, and the Construction Bureau.
"Because there is still a place that needs to be greeted today, the top leaders of important departments have gone, and this is only the second place in the ranks, so they are all the second leaders of a department. β
"Then why are we a few ......"
What are the few of them?
"Do you really want to ask this question? To be honest, I have some difficulty answering you, there are some things, it is good to understand in your heart, how embarrassing it is to say it, do you say it? β
What does it mean that the top leaders of important departments have gone to another place to greet another group of people, and even the president of the women's association has gone to the other side, while he, the head of the propaganda department, has been left here, and he has not even received any notice? People don't want to see you!
"Here, here, here's the car!"
Not far away, the whistle of the train melee was heard, and the Minister of Propaganda raised his head, and somehow met the intriguing eyes of the Deputy Mayor.
