Chapter 18: First Encounter with the Leader

Looking at Zhang Huaisheng, who was taking out a sack from the cupboard, Killian was speechless.

Do smart people have quirks?

"Don't hide it, leave it to the next warriors. With the firepower of the British, when you come back, it's a question of whether this building can still exist. ”

"Yes..."

Zhang Huaisheng put down the sack in his hand and placed it in a conspicuous place.

Then, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, placing together the pen he usually used and the books he had borrowed from the library.

Wrap it in a coat.

Thinking that soon after, it is estimated that only the ruins will be left here, and Zhang Huaisheng's heart can't help but feel distressed.

Those furniture were purchased by the original owner out of his own pocket, although the furniture could not be sold at a high price, but it was still very distressing.

No, I can't think about it anymore!

Zhang Huaisheng tried to take his eyes off the sheets, desk, and wardrobe, which could not be taken away.

Killian rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly: "I used to remember that you were quite generous, why have you become so picky now?" ”

"It's not a slamming door, it's frugality, and thrift is a virtue."

Zhang Huaisheng hugged the clothes wrap and walked quickly to the door with Killian.

At that moment, he seemed to remember something, and his steps paused slightly, and then he turned back to the room.

"Wait a minute."

"What are you going to do?"

Killian gritted his teeth in anger.

Bang –

A cannonball exploded on Birmingham Boulevard, and the shock wave instantly shattered the glass of the room.

Zhang Huaisheng's heart pounded.

The broken glass left small blood marks on the side of his face, brow, neck, and neck.

Killian hurriedly rushed in to pull him, and said angrily: "You miser, you don't want to die if you want money, don't you?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng smiled and held up a photo.

On it, a young man and a woman were smiling brightly.

Killian was stunned, his originally angry eyes quickly softened - he hadn't seen Teresa's face under her hood in a long time.

Remembering the skinny touch of Teresa's shoulder the last time he touched it, he felt that he might never see Teresa's previous appearance.

Killian didn't curse anymore, but he lost the appetite to speak.

just whispered, "Let's go." ”

led Zhang Huaisheng all the way and left the apartment building.

Zhang Huaisheng suddenly said, "Thank you." ”

Killian didn't pause in his footsteps, and asked without looking back, "Thank you for what I did to get you out of here?" Aren't you extraordinary, you can't run on your own? ”

Zhang Huaisheng didn't speak, and the expression on his face was a little nervous.

Because it was not him who spoke just now, but the "original owner" personality, and that sentence was not said to Killian, but to himself.

But he did it on his own initiative to go back and get the photos... It's a little bit of a pity for the original owner.

But the deeper reason is that I still hope to have a good relationship with the melancholy poet "original owner", and don't make trouble for myself at a critical moment.

Along the way, the streets and alleys were full of front-line soldiers stained with the smell of gunpowder.

The stretcher team carried the seriously wounded, pushed the soldiers who stood in the way, and rushed forward shouting.

Killian also waved the nameplate in his hand and said loudly: "The leader wants to see this person, everyone immediately give way." ”

After leaving the residential area of Birmingham Avenue, there were significantly fewer soldiers on the road.

It's empty, unobstructed, and it's not the best place to fight in the streets.

From here, you can see the smoke rising from the towering Edinburgh on the hillside in the distance, and the blackened blue and white flag of Gaelic is fluttering in the wind from the top of the castle.

With a cannon shot, a tower collapsed.

"Shortly after the capture of Edinburgh, they were surrounded by the British."

Killian's expression was gloomy.

"No one can save them, and without the positions and fortifications, we will only be slaughtered by the British, and even if they fail, the leader said, they will leave a mark on the history of world renewal, just as the Parisians did at the Bastille."

They died a glorious death. ”

"It's honorable."

Zhang Huaisheng thought so.

At the town hall, heavily armed guards are covering the orderly evacuation of the members of the Supreme Council.

Everyone was lightly travelled and looked panicked.

While the British may not have been willing to bombard Edinburgh's landmark, the top brass of the Commission were not willing to gamble that the walls that were so strong for the rebels were not much better than paper in the face of the heavy firepower of the British army.

Holding the leader's nameplate, the two went all the way unimpeded, and when they encountered interrogation, it was only a few words to pass.

Zhang Huaisheng was a little puzzled: "The precautions here are too negligent, so you are not afraid that the British will send people to carry out decapitation tactics?" ”

Killian explained, "I'm afraid you don't know, our leader is a Sequence 6 powerful transcendent, so he never needed a personal guard, because it wasn't the guards who protected him, but he protected the guards. ”

Sequence 6?

Zhang Huaisheng was obviously stunned for a moment.

In the library, Mr. Isaac's transcendent collection, Sequences 7 to 9, are called Low Sequences, and the transcendents at this time are just ordinary people with special abilities, and they can't compete with the formed army.

But by the inflection point of Sequence 6, the transcendent has completely transcended the realm of mortals and possesses all kinds of incredible powers.

So sequences 6 to 4 are called medium sequences, and they are also called truly transcendental.

As for Sequence 3 and above, they are even called demigods, which are characters that only exist in legends, and many authors of books believe that even the Nine Great Gods are at this stage.

Most guesses are sequence 1.

But Zhang Huaisheng feels that these authors are talking nonsense.

Because when he became the Sequence 9 Evil Spirit of the Demon Path, he clearly saw that the Demon God was high above the nine-layer ladder, and he didn't know if others could also see this scene when they were promoted, but this was enough to show that the gods were beyond the existence above the nine-layer sequence.

Bang bang bang –

Killian knocked on an office door.

A beautiful female secretary opened the door and motioned for the two to enter.

The room was not large, and in the corner, there were two staggered blue and white Scottish flags, and in the center was a desk, which was not even decorated, and everything was so simple and unpretentious.

At this time, the man he had seen from afar, wearing the characteristic national costume of the Gaelic people, was writing hard at the desk.

The two of them didn't mean to bother, and sat on a chair next to them under the guidance of the secretary and waited.

The sound of artillery fire outside shook the sky, and layers of dust fell on the table.

But the man at the desk just blew on the table, and continued to write, not caring at all about his shoulders and the top of his head, which were already covered with dust.

A moment later.

The man put the cap of the pen on, picked up the paper, blew it, and placed it under the tableβ€”to avoid dust staining the handwriting.

He stood up, looked Zhang Huaisheng up and down with a pair of eyes as bright as a falcon, and then stretched out his hand and walked towards him.

"Hello, comrade from Donghua, I'm sorry to see you in this situation."

Zhang Huaisheng also stretched out his hand: "On the contrary, Mr. Clifford, it is my honor to meet you no matter what kind of situation you are. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Compared with you, my views on the cause of innovation are far behind, if we had met earlier, would the situation have been different?" ”

"Perhaps, but I'm only good at some theoretical knowledge, never practiced, only God knows if those things are the babbling of a madman or a practical policy."

The leader said solemnly: "I think it's the latter." ”

Zhang Huaisheng sighed: "Obviously, because the British came too quickly, many of the suggestions I wrote were not possible to be implemented. ”

Clifford nodded, "That's right, so I have to meet you and hear what you have to say about the current situation." ”

Zhang Huaisheng said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Clifford, some innovations are created to overturn everything in chaos, but some innovations need a relatively stable situation. ”

He pointed around: "At the very least, this kind of place, which has been transformed into a battlefield of fierce fighting, is not suitable for any innovation. ”

Clifford sighed: "Except for you, no one expected the situation to collapse so quickly, and even you have nothing to do?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng frowned: "I'm sorry, with all due respect, your uprising is still a little early, if you take advantage of the outbreak of a full-scale war between Britain and Germany, and then carry out an uprising, the probability of success will be much higher." ”

Clifford shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's impossible, the price of the Germans' aid to us is to let us start an uprising in advance and attract the attention of the British." ”

"You're right, our team is so impure, and there are too many people with all kinds of minds."

Zhang Huaisheng didn't speak again.

Now, the situation has collapsed to the point of complete irreparability.

The strength of the British even he did not expect, if it was the British in the previous life, the Gaelic people may not be able to hold on to fighting for a few years, just like Ireland in the previous life to gain independence.

But the British in this life are simply outrageous, even the infantry and tan are used for coordination, and even the artillery here is only equipped with a small number of Gaelic people, and it is completely impossible to be its opponent.

Unless...

"Now there are only two ways to go."

Zhang Huaisheng suddenly spoke.

Clifford was pleasantly surprised: "Please speak." ”

Zhang Huaisheng raised a finger: "The premise of these two roads is that you should know very well that confronting the British head-on is a dead end." ”

Clifford's eyes darkened, and he nodded, "That's right, you're right, the gap between us is too big. Unless the British did not send any transcendents with their army... But this is not possible, there have already been officers who have been assassinated by snipers in the 'Hunter' route and assassins in the 'Butcher' route. ”

Zhang Huaisheng stretched out a finger: "The first one is to turn thousands of miles into the New World and wait for an opportunity to counterattack." ”

Although the British in the Americas are also very powerful, they have the United States, the British "belt" filial son.

In the war between the United States and Britain more than 100 years ago, the British broke through Washington and burned down the White House.

Therefore, although the United States seems to be more deferential to Britain, it is only afraid of Britain's strength, and in fact, the Americans are happy to see anything that can cause trouble for the British.

"What about the second one?"

"The second is to break up into pieces, withdraw into the mountains of the north, and engage in a long guerrilla war with the British, whose steam chariots will never be able to drive up to the mountains to fight you."

Clifford praised: "And it also plays to the advantage of our Gaelic people who are good at fishing and hunting, and no one knows the mountains better than we do." That's a good idea. ”

Zhang Huaisheng said with a smile: "In fact, these two can be used together, some people move to the New World, and some people retreat to the mountains and forests. In short, continuing to stay in Edinburgh and fighting the British in the streets is definitely the next step.

It has been proven that the British are not afraid to use heavy artillery to bomb the city, so it is predictable that if the war drags on, the British will definitely send steam airships to bomb Edinburgh. ”

Clifford nodded: "Your suggestion is very good, I will seriously consider it, so comrade from Donghua, how do you want me to thank you." ”

Zhang Huaisheng threw the question back: "Mr. Clifford, it is already the greatest thank you to me for being able to contribute to the cause of innovation. ”

In fact, where did Zhang Huaisheng know what Clifford could come up with.

Ask for money, I heard that this Mr. Clifford has a clean sleeve and a simple style, and it is impossible to give himself a large sum of money.

Don't you see that people are now desperately trying to dissociate themselves from the Scottish Regional Defence Board.

Clifford frowned: "How can that work... By the way, listen to Killian, you are also a transcendent? ”

"That's right."

"I would like to ask, which way did you go?"

Zhang Huaisheng hesitated slightly, but still said: "Demon path, sequence 9." Not long after I became a transcendent, I was able to complete the ritual by chance when I got a book that sealed evil spirits. ”

"The Demon Path... It's a very powerful way, but it's a little difficult to promote, after all, there are very few cults of demon gods in this world, and if you want to get a deep level of knowledge, you can only rely on yourself to collect it. ”

Clifford was a little distressed, and he didn't know much about the demonic path, so it was difficult for him to help Zhang Huaisheng.

"Well, I have a transcendent item that I don't usually use, which corresponds to Hunter's Path Sequence 7 'Eagle Eye', which is a very good pistol."

"Its special ability is that, when aiming, it automatically zooms in on the target, and a crosshair appears. Truth be told, this supernatural item is a bit of a frustration and doesn't increase the power of a bullet or make a top shooter stronger. ”

Zhang Huaisheng's eyes lit up, this thing is indeed suitable for a rookie like himself with a poor shooting level.

Think about it, when the enemy is aiming at him, he directly hides in another dimension, and when the opponent looks away, he quickly appears and kills with one blow!

"Mr. Clifford, are you going to give me this gun?"

Clifford shook his head, and before Zhang Huaisheng could show a disappointed expression, he spoke: "Of course, not only this, I will also give you a scroll that can teach you the fighting skills of the Calamity Order, which seals the fighting consciousness of a very powerful martial artist in the Order." ”

"But the problem is that in order to use it, there must be a Calamity Path Transcendent present."

Clifford suddenly looked at Killian, who was standing aside, and asked, "Killian, how about letting your niece do this?" ”
