Chapter 230: Rage
"Master Ennusco!"
An officer walked up to the captain of the guard of Archduke Jon and smiled and handed over a piece of delicately packaged high-grade milk candy.
In this period, slightly more high-end cigarettes, alcohol, and sugar were already considered luxuries, and high-end milk candy like this without impurities was something that only absolute upper-class people could enjoy.
The man, an officer from the front line, went to the railway station as General Karl's attaché to participate in this parade: "This is a recent production from Hawar's side, and it tastes good and relieves stress. ”
"Where did it come from?" Ennusco had now relaxed as the security had been done to the extreme. He believed that no one would dare to plan anything in such a place, so he devoted himself to a welcoming ceremony to welcome the general.
After all, there are so few things to celebrate at this time, and everyone's tense nerves need to be relaxed and adjusted.
With at least a hundred Archduke Jon's personal guards on the platform, thousands of soldiers on the periphery, and more than 3,000 troops on the parade, this is arguably the safest place - the original plan was to have a guard of honor of 1,000 people, but in the end this plan was repeatedly revised, and the number of people on the parade was increased from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000.
In addition, there are five heavily armored vehicles, ten sturdy Earthwalkers, and a variety of armament units.
After all, Grand Duke Jon's character of great joy is buried deep in his bones, so in order to make up for the successive defeats on the frontal battlefield, he decided to organize this welcome ceremony into a small military parade. Carl was also a supporter of the plan, and he needed something to boost the morale of the soldiers on the front line, who were already depressed.
"The last time I counterattacked, my men picked up the body of a high-ranking officer in Falkenridge's army. The officer smiled, then pointed to his wounded arm and said to Ennusco: "A division has more than 1,000 people left in the end, and half of them were wounded when they withdrew......
Everyone knows the hardships of the front, but seeing it with your own eyes and hearing about it are two different things entirely. Ennusco had never been to the front line himself, but he admired the soldiers who had been on the front line and died for Stassie. So he laughed and split the milk candy in two and handed half to the officer.
"Thank you. ”
The officer gladly accepted the gift from the captain of the Archduke Jon's personal guard, who was usually unattainable, and then nodded his head of thanks while enjoying the mellow aroma of the milk.
"You're welcome. ”
Ennusco nodded in response, only to see two sneaky people in the corner from another angle, who did not cheer in the direction of Archduke Jon, but wiped the sweat from their heads while talking together.
Wrong!
In an instant, Ennusco sensed that the expressions and demeanors of these two people were not quite right. He had been with Archduke Jon for many years, and the nature of his work meant that he could easily discern what the other person's expression meant. Now the every move of these two people is simply a representative of the extreme danger in his eyes.
"Damn! there's something wrong with these two guys. ”
Ennusco frowned, muttered quietly as he bypassed the officer he was talking to, and then beckoned to the two men standing not far away, signaling them to be wary of the crowd in that direction. He pushed aside a young official who stood in his way and walked quickly towards the two suspicious men, who were getting closer and closer as time went on.
The steam locomotive had already made a pit stop, the orchestra was playing music, and some of the more impulsive Stacy nobles couldn't wait to get forward, hoping to be the first to witness this meeting between Stacy's supreme leader, Archduke Jon, and General McCarthy.
The sound of the long whistle made Ennusco subconsciously shrink his neck, and his strange movement also attracted the attention of the two suspicious people opposite.
"You two! Get your papers! I'm going to check them!"
Ennusco said righteously to the two of them, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal the other party to hand over his papers. Beside him, two soldiers of the guard regiment pressed the short swords at their waists, although they did not draw their weapons, but the meaning of vigilance was already very obvious.
"My lord, we are nothing...... It's not anything, suspicious, suspicious people!"
A man on the other side, who was still wiping his sweat, carefully tucked the white handkerchief in his hand back into his jacket pocket, and then groped into his inner pocket with a slow motion, as if he was about to pull out his papers.
Over there, the locomotive had slowly stopped on the platform, and everyone looked in the direction of the carriage, and no one noticed the briefcase at the foot that did not know who the owner was. There's a bomb stuffed into it, and there's an acid timer that doesn't rely on magic on it, and while it's really unstable, it's small and silent, so it's by far the best choice for a time bomb.
"Boom!"
The first bomb suddenly exploded in the crowd, and although Ennusco had already relied on superhuman instinct to put a defensive barrier through it as quickly as he could, he still underestimated the power of the bomb.
The defensive barrier was directly torn apart, and then the fragments of the leather bag were lifted into the air high on the platform, and the surrounding people were knocked down by the sudden explosion, and many more people were afraid to lower their bodies, hoping to avoid the catastrophe.
Because of its location, the bomb was very far away from Archduke Jon, and after being weakened by the defensive barrier at least once, it would not be able to hurt Archduke Jon at all.
On the other hand, the dense crowd further reduced the power of the bomb, but even then dozens of people were killed and hundreds were injured!
At the time of the explosion, the guards around Grand Duke Jon directly blocked the surroundings of Grand Duke Jon with their bodies, and they suppressed Grand Duke Jon's body, and then wrapped him in the very center of the human wall. The soldiers on the periphery drew their weapons and looked warily in any suspicious direction.
Startled by the force of the explosion, Ennusco looked back at where Grand Duke Jon was, and was slightly relieved to see that it had not been touched by the explosion. But before he could turn around and continue to interrogate suspicious people, he heard gunshots behind him.
The suspicious man pulled out not papers, but a magic gun, and he opened fire on Ennusco, only to be deflected off the muzzle of the gun as he was shot in the chest by a crossbow arrow from the guard on the other side. By accident, he hit another soldier and fell to his chest.
Another suspicious man saw that his companion had been killed, and quickly turned to flee, but the guards in the distance saw the battle taking place, and before Ennusco could shout the words "stay alive", the fleeing man was shot through the body by another crossbow arrow and fell into the distance.
Seeing the fleeing man fall in the distance, Ennusco immediately ran to the location of the Grand Duke Jon, and the surroundings were already in chaos, many people were crying and running around, and some people tried to get close to the position of the Grand Duke Jon, but were directly knocked down on the platform by the already overly nervous guards.
McCarthy's guards in the car didn't know what was going on, they were guarding the area with their weapons, and some of them were still fighting with Archduke Jon's guards in the confusion. There were casualties on both sides, and the scene became even more chaotic.
"Don't shoot! Stop shooting! Fool!"
While Ennusco gave the order not to fire to his own men, McCarthy's guards shouted in the direction of the locomotive: "Give me a ceasefire! This is a bomb attack! Don't mess up yourself!"
"Ennusco! Someone is going to kill me! Bastard! He almost succeeded! I'm going back to the Grand Duke's palace! Get ready!" Grand Duke Jon shouted in the crowd of guards to order Ennusco to prepare to leave, knowing that he was the strongest person present, naturally he was the first to notice the bomb, and then he was frightened by the power of the bomb.
He's the pinnacle of legends, yes, but this bomb is too powerful, isn't it? Obviously there is already a defensive barrier to block it, but it still causes such a huge amount of damage......
Then he seemed to remember something, and continued to shout, "Find me Carl! Let him meet me at the Grand Duke's palace with McCarthy!
Before Ennusco could answer his boss, another bomb exploded in the crowd, setting off a cloud of flesh. This time, there was no defensive barrier, and the result was that a small block was literally blown into ruins, hundreds of people died directly, and nearly a thousand people who did not reach the legendary level were almost all injured!
Archduke Jon, who had been frightened by the first explosion, although he had some preparations in his heart, and he was not harmed by the timely sacrifice of the shield, became even more hysterical, and the messy neighborhood made everyone present panic.
No one knows if there will be a third explosion, let alone where it will be. So some of them stormed the doorman in the hope of leaving the platform of the small station, but were pushed back by the Grand Duke Jon's guard guarding the exit. They don't have the right to let anyone out of here, because they can't be sure who is suspicious of the rest of the people.
In the midst of the confusion, Ennusco saw McCarthy, dressed in General Stasi's dress, jump out of the car and walk in the direction of Grand Duke Jon with a few guards, and some officers not far away were also helping to restore order, apparently General Karl should be in that direction.
