December 3, 568 of the Altino calendar, Shangri-La, the free city

Leaving smoothly from the enemy's captivity, Zhu Yan was overjoyed, but somewhat regretful, because he did not rely on strength to win, but relied on the powerful weapons of this air island to get out of trouble, purely as a martial artist, this is a pity, however, as far as a scholar of the Ancient Demon Dao is concerned, this is not a big deal.

The technological weapons of the primeval era can have such great power that even the top masters in the world today are restrained. Witnessing such a scene, Zhu Yan felt that his seclusion research for more than 100 years had all come at a price.

There is no time to waste here, Zhu Yan is very worried about the coach's situation. When he was held hostage by Gengoro before, he had vaguely felt fluctuations coming from inside the island, although it was blocked, but the fluctuations showed the fierceness of the battle, and it was obvious that the battle between the two had become white-hot, but the fluctuations suddenly disappeared.

The fierce battle would not end like this, although he couldn't feel any breath, but it must have been deliberately blocked by Lord Gongjin or Hai Jiaxuan, so that others would not sense the situation of the battle. However, not everything can be blocked, especially when Zhu Yan is about to move, but the entire Jinao Island shakes inexplicably...... Feeling the shaking under his feet, Zhu Yan knew what it meant.

Even if the orbital light cannon bombarded the ground before, Jinao Island was as stable as a rock, and nothing shook it, but the energy impact at this time actually shook the entire Jinao Island, and Zhu Yan was shocked, and he couldn't think of what kind of powerful martial arts it took to produce such an incredible power.

(Is it Lord Gongjin?or Haijiaxuan?)

Deep in the corridor, Zhu Yan couldn't see the scene outside, let alone find the answer to this question, the only thing he could do was to rush to the main gun control room immediately and learn everything from there. The road to the main gun control room is very long, and there are many mechanisms along the way, if there is no one to lead, it is not easy to find the control room, but Zhu Yan has already been familiar with the terrain of Jinao Island before, and along the way, he has repeatedly opened various secret doors, switched defense mechanisms, and rushed to the fastest speed.

The shaking of Jinao Island was not long, and when Zhu Yan was halfway through the road, the whole shaking had stopped. The battle was over, but who the winner would be was something that Zhu Yan didn't know, but the answer was revealed the moment he pushed open the door.

Among the researchers who came and went, Gong Jin's figure was especially obvious. Although the snow-white robe was stained with blood, his eyes were full of energy, and he couldn't see any fatigue after the bloody battle, and when he saw the number one subordinate coming in, he smiled at him very slowly.

"It's all hard work for you, and I wouldn't have been able to finish this showdown without you. ”

In a word, after talking about the results of the battle, Zhu Yan was naturally happy with such an ending, but before he could ask about the fate of the loser, he suddenly noticed that all the technicians were busy operating, and they didn't know what they were dealing with.

"Lord Gongjin, this is ......"

"As you can see, now that the complete energy device has been retrieved, they are now preparing to launch the Babel Cannon. ”

Now that the power plant has been retrieved, it seems to be a matter of course to launch the Tongtian Cannon, but where is the target of the launch? According to Zhu Yan's idea, the most effective way to do this is Reins, which is the headquarters of the enemy's forces in any case, but there are also many ordinary people there, and with the style of Lord Gongjin, he should not adopt this method, after all, he also gave up the great opportunity to directly attack the martial arts last time for the same reason.

For Lord Gong Jin's approach, Zhu Yan choked his heart, but on the other hand, he also felt that it was better, if Lord Gong Jin was the kind of person who abused the Ancient Demon Dao weapon, and bombarded indiscriminately and unscrupulously after he succeeded, then he would also feel uneasy when he assisted him in acting, no matter what, as a researcher of the Ancient Demon Dao, although he was not as high as the little junior sister, he still had some basic concepts and principles.

"Yes, then we are going to bombard Reins? With Kishita as the center, we should be able to try to narrow the range of the shelling as much as possible. ”

"There's no need to do that kind of trouble, and we're not going to attack Jixia. ”

"Huh, then is it the Cloud Dragon Pavilion of Martial Arts, or the Alcatraz Island overseas? Both of these places are important towns for enemy forces, but considering the ...... of ordinary civilians"

"It's not such a troublesome place, the target we are going to bombard is Shangri-La directly below, and the time is tonight...... Now. ”

Gong Jin's words surprised Zhu Yan, and for a moment he thought that he had heard it wrong, or it was just a rare joke by Lord Gong Jin, but when he came to his senses and confirmed it again, he got the same answer.

"You heard it right, we are preparing for the Shangri-La bombardment, in addition to adjusting the cannon, but also to carry out target guidance so that the crowd can concentrate. ”

Despite the smile on his face, Gong Jin was undoubtedly not joking, and because of the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the words that came out of his mouth sounded extremely cruel.

"But...... Tonight's Shangri-La, is holding a concert of Leng Mengxue, crowded, in addition to its own citizens, even people from more than a dozen nearby cities have come to participate, if the direct shelling of this place, then it will be ...... Will ......"

"I've thought about all of what you're talking about. Shangri-La has gathered the most enemies tonight, whether it is Shi Chong or Reins, a large number of enemies have gathered here, and there is no place with a more effective attack, as long as the first shot is successful, the enemies on both sides will be greatly damaged. ”

Gong Jin said: "As for the crowd that gathers, it is the best inducement, there are so many tens of millions of people gathered together, Reins and his party are pretentious, and they will never leave them, otherwise they will fly around one by one, and it will not be easy to catch them all." ”

"But in this way, Shangri-La will cause deaths and injuries, isn't it ......"

"Isn't that interesting? In this way, the agreement you made with your master when you left can be partially completed. ”

When he led the research team to leave the Demon Realm, Long Beethoven handed over the right to use the orbital light cannon, but he also made another request, ordering Zhu Yan to assist Gong Jin in the human realm during this trip, and the number of casualties caused by the series of wars caused by this trip should not be less than 100 million.

Zhu Yan did not object at the time, but thinking of Gong Jin's consistent style, he did not easily implicate the common people, even if he used orbital light cannons to fight, he would not hurt the innocent, and it was impossible to achieve this request of the teacher, so he just agreed only and did not contradict it, and after coming to the human world to meet Gong Jin, when it came to this matter, Gong Jin coldly did not say a word, and had already expressed his disgust at this order.

But what's going on now? Is this man who uses a smiling expression to take cruel orders as a joke really the Gongjin he knows?

"It wouldn't be good if the crowd was dispersed, so since the power plant returned, the technical team has continued to operate the induced radio waves, so that everyone in Shangri-La can concentrate in the concert venue, and the cannon can be used to maximize its lethality. ”

Zhu Yan couldn't describe the shock he received, as if everything was still in a dream, and he hadn't woken up from the dizziness that Genicoro had blasted into his brain. Originally, he thought that Lord Gongjin seemed to have changed a little after returning from the victory, but now this change is too big, what he just heard...... Should it be said to be cunning and despicable? But under that kind of flat tone, it only makes people feel cold-blooded and ruthless.

Looking around, all the technicians were busy with the work at hand, and they didn't have time to take a closer look before, but now it seems that some of them have unbearable and panic written on their faces. This technical team, which has followed him for more than a hundred years, is a racial alliance, composed of humans and demons, for the demons, it is not a big deal to shell Shangri-La, but from the perspective of human members, it must be uncomfortable to kill tens of millions of compatriots in one fell swoop and become accomplices.

"The adjustment of the inducing sound wave needs to be commanded, you return to the team as soon as possible!"

Gong Jin's voice sounded like it sounded far away, but before Zhu Yan could answer, the shouts of the technicians sounded first.

"Lord Gong Jin, Lord Zhu Yan, Shangri-La's situation is a little strange, and the enemy seems to be using some method to counter our induced radio waves. Our radio waves are losing their effect. ”

The scene on the ground below was visualized on the main screen through the camera equipment, and it was clearly visible that although a large number of lights and torches were still gathered in the concert venue, some people had begun to form a human dragon and retreat towards the outside of Shangri-La in an orderly manner.

The human dragon slowly extended outward along the main road in the city, and the speed was not fast, but it could be seen that there was a planned and orderly evacuation, and the induced radio waves emitted on Jinao Island slowly lost their effect.

"Weird, what's going on...... Yes, Shangri-La has been the base of the Chiba family since ancient times, and the current alliance of the Qinglou Alliance is united with the Reins party, maybe they are doing something to make our radio waves ineffective!"

Gong Jin, who didn't understand the Ancient Demon Dao technique, made a correct judgment. The technician then reported that the instrument showed a sound wave containing huge energy, which continued to interfere with the operation of the radio waves, and it was this sound wave that caused the guiding radio waves on Jinao Island to begin to fail.

"Sonic is no wonder there's a concert going on over there...... The problem is that the power plant is back, we should have the most abundant energy, so we can't clean them up, the technology of the Chiba family is really not to be underestimated, and it can be so effective to defeat the strong with the weak. ”

Gong Jin sighed like this, but this kind of technology is lacking in his own side, and if he wants to suppress the other party, he can only continue to overwhelm the opponent's technology with more energy. However, whether it is to increase the output power of the induced radio waves, or to accelerate the completion of the preparation for the launch of the Babel Cannon, it takes specialists, so Gong Jin's eyes looked at the subordinates in front of him, questioning how long he would have to think about it.

"Zhu Yan, do you have any doubts about what I'm going to do?"

“...... May I ask Lord Gongjin, these things ...... It's up to you to decide...... Is there something that has to be done?"

"There's no better opportunity than tonight, and I'm not going to let the time and place go forever, what do you have any doubts? or...... Do you want to defy my orders?"

has already said to this extent, Zhu Yan also has to be conscious, although he and Gong Jin are friends, but they are also a master-slave relationship, in the past hundred years, he has never doubted that there is anything wrong with the path he is going to take, and now of course there is no reason to resist him.

"I see, Gongjin-sama, then please leave the work of firing the Heavenly Cannon to me, I will not let you down. ”

Zhu Yan bowed and saluted, expressing his obedience to the will of the boss, for this action of his subordinates, Gong Jin's response was to stretch out his right hand and carry the power of the heavenly position, and in the light sound of the "wave", several sword qi that attacked the instruments in all directions were intercepted.

"There are enemies?"

Zhu Yan was taken aback, turned around and raised his head, and saw a slender and handsome figure standing there quietly at the entrance of the main control room, with his arms crossed, his eyes over his face, and the coach looked at him, it was Gengoro who had been hugged by the scarf and blew himself up and lost his trace.

(Didn't he blow himself up to the ground by the scarf wrestler?even if he didn't blow it up to the ground, but the location of the main control room was kept secret, how could he find it here?ah! He came in with me...... ）

Zhu Yan suddenly realized, understood that Gengoro was involved in the explosion, immediately escaped, and took advantage of his careless psychology that he thought he would not be able to act for a while, followed behind, easily opened the various mechanisms and secret passages that entered the main control room, just sneaked into an important position, and launched a surprise attack without saying a word.

"What a helpless scene! Obviously unconvinced, but because you can't resist the inappropriate order, you have to submit, should I say that you still have a trace of humanity, or should I say that you don't have the backbone to insist on as a scholar?"

Gengoro's shallow smile was tinged with a strong sense of irony, although his posture was quite relaxed, but his appearance looked something else, especially the bursts of green smoke rising from his body, and it seemed that his slightly burnt complexion had already explained the trauma he suffered from the confrontation with the scarf wrestler.

The power of the explosion was really not small, even if he used all his strength to protect his body, he still had severe pain in his body, his chest was surging with qi and blood, and he suffered internal injuries, but he had an idea when he exploded, and he didn't take time to heal his injuries, but instead sneaked back to Jinao Island at Jiuyao's extreme speed and instantaneously, as expected, he saw Zhu Yan, a dead man, rejoicing over there, and then followed him all the way to this main control room.

Seeing Zhou Gongjin here, he still looked full of energy, the result of this battle is not known, thinking of Hai Jiaxuan's fate, Gengoro's mood cooled down by half, but Zhou Gongjin actually had no injuries after the victory, which means that his strength is already difficult to estimate, and he must be cautious, first adjust his luck, calm the injury, and save the hasty shot and defeat faster.

Therefore, he watched the small conflict between Zhu Yan and Gong Jin, until his qi and blood calmed down, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he made a sneak attack, hoping to destroy the nearby machinery in one fell swoop, but Gong Jin was the first to detect it and eliminate the sword qi, making this attack futile.

"Sneak attacks don't seem to have much effect, untalented third-rate military division, do you think you can do something?"

"Even if it's a third-rate military division, it's better than a cold-blooded soldier with no humanity, since you're standing here, where is my white-haired friend?"

"Oh, is he?" Gong Jin looked at Gengoro and sneered, "I've already gone to heaven...... Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Ha, fighting against the two of us in a day, do you really think you are invincible in the world? If you have the ability to defeat him, you may not be able to defeat me, my Hoshino Tianhe Sword is not practiced in vain, and it is ......"

Gengoro spoke in his mouth, but he was thinking endlessly in his heart. He is not the kind of person who likes to be reckless and white, whether Gong Jin is invincible in the world or not, this is unknown, but he can defeat Hai Jiaxuan without injury, he is not interested in becoming the next on his victory list, and more importantly, the first thing in front of him is to stop the launch of the Tongtian cannon first, not to compare who has the best martial arts.

From the beginning of the failed sneak attack, Gengoro has tried continuously, hoping to do something, to affect the nearby machinery, or try to kill the surrounding technicians, but several attempts have failed, and Zhou Gongjin has eliminated his own attack with invisible power, although the two sides are verbally mocking, but secretly have exchanged hands several times in a row, and Gengoro has all fallen behind, so that even if there is really a battle here, Gengoro is also worried about whether he has the ability to affect the damage to this main control room.

If the power does not work, then you can only look for your own advantages in other aspects. As an indisputable losing streak, Gengoro really didn't have much confidence in his own wisdom, but this was the only opportunity he had at the moment, so he thought of a way to do it.

"And...... My Jiuyao is still running away very quickly. ”

It was indeed very fast, as soon as the words were finished, he immediately turned his head, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and fled in a blink of an eye.

"No, what a treacherous and cunning fellow. ”

Gong Jin frowned, seeing Gengoro's intentions, if he was allowed to flee around in Jinao Island and wreak havoc, the damage caused would indeed damage Jinao Island, especially if he destroyed any important machinery, it might cause Jinao Island to be paralyzed...... After all, if the instrument is too sophisticated, no one can guarantee what will go wrong.

"Take care of the main gun, I'll chase him. ”

Even if he has made a breakthrough in martial arts, Gong Jin still doesn't dare to boast that he can beat this guy who eats on his legs in terms of speed, Jiuyao's extreme speed does have its wonders, and it is not that the martial arts of Bailu Cave can be compared, that guy must be confident in this, so he chose the battlefield like this.

Gong Jin's figure disappeared in an instant, and the dominant power in the entire control room returned to Zhu Yan's hands, and bearing everyone's gaze, Zhu Yan sighed and began to carry out various operations.

※※※

The battle in the sky has come to an end, but the struggle of the people on the ground is still continuing. From the moment the power plant was sucked into the sky, the backstage of the concert venue was completely out of order, because the appearance of Jinao Island added variables to the plans of Quan Ying and others, no matter who it was, when they saw such a behemoth in the air, and it was obviously not their ally, they would flee as far as they wanted.

"Because there is danger, we have to evacuate the residents of Shangri-La, because tonight is a festival, half of the residents have drunk alcoholism, the other half have gone crazy, plus the concert, there is no evacuation at all, so we are going to use a technique with a success rate of less than 30%, and take everyone out of the city in an orderly manner after hypnosis......"

Describing the situation he has encountered so far, Youxue scratched his head and said as if he was very annoyed: "I am really grateful that you are willing to adopt my plan and even take out your own boobs as a bet, but...... Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Izumi Sakura is a very sensible woman, so she really can't say a "no". She knew very well how difficult it was to do what she had to do, and although the success was not as low as Youxue said, it was not high.

If in the end your efforts fail, everything will fall short, and you will waste precious time, then it is better to announce the danger to the citizens as soon as possible, although most people will delay the chance to escape because of unbelief and confusion, but at least some people will escape? If your actions fail, then you will have to bear this sin all the time if you do not make the right decision.

Huge pressure, Izumi Sakura didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, when many people from the Qinglou Alliance looked at her with Youxue, the difficult choice made her feel unprecedentedly hesitant, this is not a matter that simple reason or courage can bear.

However, remembering that Lancelot was faced with the same difficult choice in Japan, Izumi Sakura suddenly understood her husband's struggle at that time. What kind of strong will it takes to make a quick decision under heavy pressure? Izumi Sakura now feels the same way.

(Husband, please give me a little bit of your courage, so that I can have chivalrous and martial arts like you, and be able to support it...... ）

Without letting anyone see his hesitation, Izumi Sakura took on the decision-making role of giving orders as if nothing had happened. She knew very well that everyone was now acting so efficiently because they trusted their wisdom and composure, and if people could see the hesitation in her heart, then the balance that was barely maintained would collapse, and these Qinglou personnel would probably be the first to withdraw from the city.

However, the situation was more serious than she expected, when she and Youxue returned backstage and prepared to change their costumes and immediately take the stage, they found that the situation had changed.

Whether there is snow or Izumi Sakura, even Nier, who has a close relationship with the Qinglou Alliance, is not a person in the Qinglou Alliance, and has no power to give orders, although everyone reluctantly obeyed her command before, but as soon as Izumi Sakura and Youxue left, the people in the Qinglou immediately managed to get in touch with the demon house, ready to leave behind these three fools who wanted to save the lives of the whole city.

"I'm sorry, but I'll add that it's two fools, and I don't count. Youxue nodded frequently: "I'm like you, I want to slip away early, but I have to stay here because of the temptation and threat of violence from my chest, if you want to rebel against tyranny, I have no opinion." ”

Izumi Sakura was discouraged when she wasn't even on her side, but instead of showing this sense of depression on her face, she tried to explain her thoughts in a short period of time.

“...... So, don't you think it's ridiculous? This is Shangri-La, your hometown where you were born and raised, and these people in the city are all your fellow villagers, can you be indifferent to their lives or deaths? Is the Qinglou Alliance really such a cold-blooded organization? If you are unwilling to pay at such a critical time, showing that you are different from Shi Chong, how can you expect to regain Shangri-La in the future?"

Izumi Sakura tried her best to make her voice sound very smooth, but the meaning was quite heavy, and when many people bowed their heads and were ashamed, their minds also changed direction. Still, there are a lot of different voices.

Some people think that Quan Ying is not from Shangri-La and is not qualified to care about Shangri-La, strictly speaking, she is not even a person.

"Yes, but even I, a foreigner who didn't grow up in Shangri-La, want to do something, shouldn't you be more demanding?"

Some people think that as long as they do their best to inform them of the impending disaster and ask people to evacuate, anyway, these people flattered Shi Chong at the beginning, they did not belong to their own camp, and they deserved to die.

"Does this sentence mean that if you don't flatter the subjects of the Qinglou Alliance, you won't be qualified to live?"

Some people think......

But no matter what people say, Izumi always says a few words lightly, leaving the speaker speechless. However, although her tone was light, her heart was very anxious, and she knew very well that she was not doing a debate competition, and it was useless to refute her opponents, but she could not convince them and help her. You can't do anything by yourself......

And when someone questioned Izumi's approach, her worst fear happened, what if her plan failed, more people would die, and it would be a waste of time?

Izumi Sakura couldn't answer, and her silence caused the arrogance of the opposing voices to rise, and seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly a shout of anger resounded throughout the room.

"Guys who don't have a chance, shut up all of them!"

Slowly walking out of the crowd, holding a cane, staggering footsteps with blood-stained footprints, and her face was so pale and shaky that it was Ni'er who had not spoken. Due to the severity of her injuries, she focused on luck to heal her injuries and left everything to Izumi Sakura, but seeing that the situation was out of control, she interrupted the healing process and stood up.

Izumi Sakura is undoubtedly a woman with the talent of a military general, but Nier is a female general who has actually commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and at this point in the command, she knows how to show her majesty very well, just like at this moment, when her stern gaze swept around, every Qinglou personnel who met her eyes lowered their heads, feeling the absolute majesty that could not be resisted.

"It's true that we are not Shangri-La, and we don't even have anything to do with the Qinglou Alliance, but I remember that the Chiba family has always been a system of convincing people by force, do you need to kill a few people on the spot to make you convinced? Or I will give you a chance, I will only use one hand, you all go together, see if you can kill me while I am seriously injured, and then let the last person who is still alive give the order?"

Even though she was seriously injured, Nier's sense of oppression was still extremely strong, especially the series of achievements she had recently laid, it was hard not to think that before tonight, this girl who was so powerful in various battlefields could almost be said to be invincible, even if she was seriously injured, with only one hand, no madman here dared to challenge her fist.

Such a strong suppression, not only everyone in the audience frightened her, but even Izumi Sakura was shocked, because such a strong attitude is not Nier's usual style. When the turmoil on the spot subsided, Niel turned to Izumi Sakura with an extremely stern expression, especially the moment she raised her right hand, Izumi Sakura closed her eyes almost instinctively, thinking that she was going to receive another hot slap.

Thankfully, the slap didn't come down, just a slap on Izumi's shoulder. At the moment when she slapped her palm on her shoulder, Izumi Sakura was shocked to realize that Nier's strength was so weak, and her injuries were really serious!

"Shut up, don't look at me like that, you're going to be on stage soon, I don't want to hit you in the face, if you leave a mark, the makeup artist will definitely jump to your feet." ”

Niel said: "I don't know what you're hesitating about, but you are our head now, if you don't believe in what you do, teach us how to follow you?" ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to be had. It's a bit selfish to say this, but the family motto of my big brother monkey, instead of regretting it if you don't do it, it's better to regret it if you do it...... Didn't you always want to be his monkey wife?

Nier's palm on Izumi Sakura's shoulder, it seemed to be a thousand pounds in this short moment, but Izumi Sakura felt very moved, as if there was no moment when she was so relied on and trusted, just for this, she had to do things well and shoulder the responsibility she should carry.

And just as she was about to speak out and take back control of the situation, two unexpected news came.

"It's a strange situation, I don't know how to do it outside, a lot of people are rushing towards the concert hall together, and there is about to riot. ”

"If you haven't been on stage for so long, you haven't started, and there's nothing surprising about the riot!"

"No, it's not that kind of riot!"

Everyone looked out with doubts, and after a while, they realized what the Qinglou staff meant, and there were already quite a few people gathered in the concert venue, but most of the residents in Shangri-La City, who were originally drinking and indulging in various celebrations, suddenly gathered towards the concert venue, and even those who were already eighty percent drunk and unconscious were staggering towards this side, which was really a very strange thing.

No matter how you look at it, these people are in an irrational state, they can't make sense with their words, and they can't stop it, and they are scrambling to get closer to the concert venue. There were too many people, and they wanted to squeeze in all of a sudden, but there was a big riot outside the concert venue.

"Why, why is this happening?"

While the rest of the crowd was stunned, Izumi Sakura had already found a reason, looked up at Jinao Island in the sky, and understood that if there was anything strange, it must be the huge island in the air that was playing tricks, and if a hypnotic device similar to Reyns was used, it was not impossible to induce a large number of people to concentrate.

Senior Brother Gongjin gathered a large number of people, of course, it is unknown why the purpose is, but Izumi Sakura does not think that he will have any humanitarian purpose, if you think from a tactical point of view, to concentrate a large number of people, if it is not to be a hostage, it is to gather and annihilate, if this speculation is true, the retreat work is urgent.

And the signal from the Demon House also came, due to poor communication, the lady's decision was extremely short-lived, and for her subordinates who wanted everything to be handled by the Qinglou Alliance on their own, and refused the request of outsiders to intervene, the order she sent was:

"Everything is based on the orders of the two young ladies, they want you to die, no one can not die, and those who are not dead are responsible for the implementation of the Qinglou headquarters. ”

And just like that, everything was settled, and there were no other different voices......

。
