Chapter 13: Breaking Through the Siege
"You must have immediately recognized the significance of my question to you. Venisha said, "Just say the number of kilometers casually, and I'll let you go." ”
"And then?" said the advisor, "you're going to try to get there anyway, aren't you?, if the Warlocks stop the Separation Chamber, or Cāo controls it to return, you're going to force your way out with an emergency escape device, and then you're going to find a way to get close to the Ark." So that will only increase the danger that you will be killed halfway through. He paused: "But now, if I choose not to leave here, then there should be no change, and we will reach the portal safely together." And I'll see what you want to do. ”
Vanessa sneered, "Hmph...... I should really thank you for being so thoughtful. ”
"No, I've miscalculated, when you came to the bridge, I should have thought that you would kidnap me, obviously, Tianyi had thought in advance that you would escape, so I asked my sister to prevent this from happening. It's a pity he didn't think you were going to kidnap me, and I didn't have time to reason to that point in the few seconds I spoke after I saw my old lady. The advisor said: "When you successfully hijacked me, I knew that the only way to keep you on the submarine was to die, either you die or I die." He smiled: "In that case, I might as well follow your wishes and go with you." ”
When Vanessa heard this, she thought for a moment, "Isn't it obvious that you asked me what I was going to do? I'm going to go to the portal and help my father." ”
"Can a man who has abandoned you from birth also be called a father?" said the advisor.
"That's to protect me. Vanessa replied.
"It's been more than ten years," the advisor said. And to bring you back to the Resistance from your ordinary life, also for your safety?"
"Do you want me to remind you that my adoptive parents are afraid of me, and my childhood was ...... at all"
The advisor directly interrupted this time: "That's also caused by your biological father. Besides, will you be happy after the Iron Commandment?"
"Can you handle it?" Vanessa asked angrily.
"After you return to the organization, it will be difficult to meet your father, you and I both know in our hearts that it is for your safety to foster you in an ordinary person's family, and to bring you back to the organization is for fear that your identity will be found out by the imperial side. And he was taken hostage. The advisor spoke with a chilling conclusion.
"Being held hostage also shows that he cares about my daughter, and it doesn't matter if I live or die for him......" Vanessa added.
But the advisor interrupted her again: "Do you have to make it all clear? In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether you live or die, but the people around him will talk about it." How can a man who does not even care about the life of his own daughter entrust his subordinates to him?
His reaction after you were captured by me is a good illustration of my point, he simply didn't go all out to find you like a normal father. And completely immersed in the study of the Sky Codex, don't think I'm guessing, my intentions can prove my claims.
When the three parties traded after that, it had already been a month. In order to pretend that he still cares about his daughter's life and death, he pretended to be a gesture. He reached a request with me to send you back, but what he wanted more was to end the white lightning. and an opportunity to make a foray into Twin Eagles. If it weren't for the opportunity of that transaction, he wouldn't have bothered to take the initiative to come to you.
Also, do you know why I came up with a plan for a three-way deal? That wasn't my first plan, I was going to arrest your chief priest, remember? When I brought you back, I realized that in the eyes of Cesare Bamond, your daughter was far less valuable than his right-hand man, so I had to choose a three-way exchange of benefits instead of directly threatening to agree with your father. ”
"Have you said enough?" Venisha said coldly: "Now if your gang of friends want to kill all the people of Silver Shadow, and kill your sister, assuming that your sister and you have been strangers since childhood, can you save it?"
"My sister is not an old madman who has gone mad. The advisor said.
"Hmph...... Your words are already the answer, thank you. Vanessa said.
As they spoke, a wave of sand rolled in, pushing the separating pod violently.
"What's going on......" The advisor walked over to the driver's seat and quickly pressed a few keys to cut out the video signal.
Vanessa and he saw an astonishing sight at the same time, only to see a dense cloud of smoke rising from the desert in the distance, where something should have exploded on the ground, and the shock wave of this explosion actually set off sand waves all the way to this place.
"Could it be ......" Vanessa's face was full of worry, and she realized that the subject of this explosion was probably the Ark.
"Now is not the time to worry about others. The advisor said, simply sat up straight, and pulled out the keyboard next to the deputy: "We have entered the encirclement of the emperor." ”
On the radar of the separation cabin, countless glowing points were revealed in the area ahead, the emperor ** had been fully deployed, and the troops of Eagle County and Date Palm County had already met at this time, surrounding the area where the ark was located, and the separation cabin where the advisor and Venisha were located were rushing in from the outside of this encirclement.
The emperor's reaction was still very fast, and when this unknown object rushed into the enemy formation, the mobile xìng firepower and mecha that could attack it nearby directly locked onto the target and fired. Ahead, too, a small force was gathering and turning around, intent on stopping the detached pod.
"The energy is still enough, I want to increase the output of the thrusters, you hurry...... Uh-huh......" Before the advisor could finish speaking, Vanessa sat in the co-pilot seat by herself.
"Then you fasten your seatbelts. The advisor said.
But seeing that the black sè separating cabin suddenly accelerated, pulled up a little height, broke through the sound barrier, turned into a black shadow, and tore a gap in the enemy formation.
This move caught the Imperial forces by surprise, first of all, they could not use ground-to-air firepower, because the target was flying at an ultra-low altitude, and secondly, the ground-to-ground firepower was not easy to mess with, and the power was too great to be used, because it was too close to their own troops. In the end, he could only lock on to the shè with a high-density weapon of ground firepower, but the black sè cabin did not know what material it was, a small body of this size, unscathed in the rain of bullets, and it was rare that some small missiles and beam weapons successfully hit, but it was still an itch-like effect.
The encirclement was huge, and with some large mechs blocking the way, the advisor knew it would be bad if he hit something and stopped, causing him to be unable to pick up speed for a short time. He constantly compared the radar with the rapidly changing video signals and data in front of him, piloted the separation capsule to the left and right, and carried out a full ten minutes of high-intensity cāo work without mistakes, and finally came to the vicinity of the portal.
Vanessa finally realized at this moment that if she had let the advisor go and chose to act alone, she would probably not have been able to reach here even with the separation pod, although the advisor did not say it explicitly, but in fact another reason for him to stay was obviously to protect her from arriving safely.
"The ark was ruined. The advisor said, "We're going to drive this one straight into the portal." ”
Vanessa came to her senses at this point, and she saw the wreckage of the ark and the fire that had not yet been extinguished on the screen, while some Imperial soldiers were surrounding the portal, trying to establish a blockade.
"Now that the portal has been opened, it means that your father must have disembarked from the ship. The advisor said, "Look at this situation, all the people who remain here in the Iron Ring should have gone to see Marx, and if your father hadn't entered the door, he wouldn't have let this happen, so he has already gone in 100 percent."
Even in his absence, the Ark would not be easily destroyed, and the explosion just now was clearly not caused by a nuclear bomb...... Therefore, this must have been done by Tianyi or the high-ranking ability of the empire. Whoever did it had already entered the door, so now the soldiers outside were ordered to guard the portal. ”
The advisor said this quickly, in order to explain to Vanessa why she had rushed straight into the portal, since the ark had been destroyed and the person she was looking for was already in the door, so it didn't make sense for them to stay here.
The detachment pod rushed straight to the circular portal, and the soldiers at the gate had just begun to deploy, unprepared, unable to stop the detachment, in fact, even if they were ready, they would not be able to stop the advisers with only manpower and a few improvised batteries.
The moment the object in front of them changed, both the advisor and Vanessa felt a sense of detachment, and after entering the dimension, they could see the outline of a city in the distance. Looking at the footage from behind, you can still see the scene in the desert through the portal, but no pursuers have passed through the door. The door was getting farther and farther away from them.
"That's not right...... advisor looked at the meter in front of him, "I've reduced the power to normal, and the energy consumption is still extremely fast...... This place ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a hard object smashed on the back of his head, and before the advisor could immediately faint, his eyes widened, and he turned his head, and the last thing that was reflected in his eyes was Vanessa's face, and the walkie-talkie she was holding a passenger seat.
The "wait ......" consultant couldn't finish the sentence and passed out.
Venisha was afraid that she wouldn't stun him if she shot too lightly, but at this moment she was worried about whether she was shooting too hard, and looked at the walkie-talkie with blood on her hand, she really didn't expect that this thing that had nothing to do with weapons was actually made of special metal, which was easier to kill than an ashtray or something.
She hurriedly helped the consultant plug the wound and reached out to feel the pulse on the side of his neck, fortunately, the kid was still alive, and the bleeding quickly stopped, so it can be seen that the blow was not too serious.
She then moved the advisor out of the pod and placed it in a place where it was out of sight from a distance.
When she was about to leave, she turned her head and looked at him deeply, and for some reason, she sighed with some loss in her eyes, and then turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
