Volume 2 Steam Rhapsody 1882 Chapter 40 The Sound of Gunfire in Wales
As Alice tries to convince Francis, she dispels the illusion and the industrial area of Wales reappears in reality.
But in the distance, there were already many observing eyes on the tower to monitor their progress for a long time, and when the illusion cleared, Francis and Alice reappeared, raising their flare guns and shooting signals into the sky.
The red shimmer shot into the sky, and Francis realized in an instant what was happening, the old routine of the Brotherhood, sitting back and enjoying the success of the robbery halfway.
Francis turned his head to look at the tower for a moment, and a fiery bullet from a distance grazed the right side of his face.
If Solomon had been here, Francis had said hello to him, and trouble wouldn't have come so quickly.
Francis noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Alice, "Can you still make a portal of illusions?" ”
Alice wrapped her fingers in phantom foam in her hand, and she could only shake her head to indicate that she couldn't: "All my extraordinary power is used to carry my fingers, and if we divide it a little, we will both be devoured." ”
"Okay, then listen, watch me act for a while, and then run separately!"
With the Brotherhood approaching and a second rain of bullets about to rain down like a gust of wind, Francis takes a deep breath and prays for his heart to stop beating.
Francis steam was accumulated, and the combat vehicle smashed through the stone wall that separated the industrial area from the city.
After seeing Francis's actions, Alice did not hesitate, and took her fingers to diverge from Francis, hiding in the winding alley, and running all the way to the city.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Francis: "See you at the queen of Wales steam station!" ”
Francis had time to respond, and after running out of the industrial area, he jumped to the top of the relatively low buildings in Wales, and fled to the Welsh city skyline without stopping from jumping to a fruit shop with the steam sprayed by the black sword.
Francis controls the power of the mechanical heart when it is ejected, and if the load is too large, he can say goodbye to his heart completely.
Race to the death.
The Brotherhood was in hot pursuit, and they were clever enough to use the Extraordinary to catch Francis, while the rest of the men held Alice with a musket like a target.
The gunfire never stopped from the industrial areas of Wales to the city, and the citizens of Wales were once again in a panic, and occasionally a guy in a black coat was seen steaming all the way down the top of the city.
He was followed by a group of extraordinaries who used their extraordinary powers to try to knock him down, flames mixed with lightning strikes and roars, but they all missed their mark and smashed all the walls and glass of the tall building.
A large number of building debris smashed into the street from a high altitude, and the gunfire on the other side was more like a melody that echoed the intensity.
Not long after the Prince of Wales recovered from the shock of the gunboats brought by May, he heard reports from his men that 'the Brotherhood had rebelled'.
When the sentry in the tower outside the prince's mansion saw what had happened, he immediately ran to tell the prince: "Prince, they are about to hit the center of the city!" ”
The prince didn't panic too much, but just hated: "I want to see what they want!?" ”
After that, he immediately gathered the only guards in the city who were relatively poorly equipped and barely able to count as useful, and went to the church to ask some middle-level hunters of the church, and went to the 'battlefield' in person.
The few airships in Wales were pulled out with light guns to hold on to the periphery of the city centre as much as possible.
The Welsh Army's telephone hotline stationed hundreds of miles away in the suburbs was about to be blown up by the MPs, and when they picked up the phone, they heard a shout from the opposite side: "Gear up, reinforcements for Wales!" ”
The little prince Adrian naturally set an example, donning the light external steam armor with the unique hammer logo of the Welsh princes, and after meditating on something, he activated his extraordinary power and rushed to the forefront.
The chaos caused by Francis and Alice turned into a head-on war between the Duchy of Wales and the Brotherhood of the Free less than an hour later.
The sound of artillery fire resounded through the Welsh sky, and as far away as May could see the flickering fire and explosions in the direction of Wales.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Alice hides in the depths of an unknown alley, trying to sort out what is happening now.
He was running down the alley when a squadron of the Principality of Wales Guard appeared in front of him to defend the industrial area, and they told Alice to run to the side, and then fought back after a head-on encounter with the Brotherhood.
While thinking about it, Francis finds Alice in the alley after temporarily escaping the pursuit with the help of a catapult.
Francis gasped for breath, calmed his heart, which was on the verge of collapse from endless ejection charges, and said, "Is the finger still in your hand?" ”
Alice held up the globulous phantom bubble in her hand, looked at Francis and replied, "It's still there." ”
Alice stood up and said to Francis under the constant roar of gunfire, "The Principality Guard has officially exchanged fire with the Brotherhood, and now it's troublesome to leave the city, there are bullets and extraordinaries everywhere. ”
After saying that, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in my heart for starting a war.
Francis put the black sword back into its scabbard and said calmly: "The Brotherhood has infiltrated here a long time ago, this conflict is sooner or later, I will find a way to get the company's air fleet to intervene." ”
Trying their best to avoid civilian casualties is the consensus of many forces in this melee, and people who are both human beings and have no weapons are innocent.
Later, let the moon house discuss how to deal with this, now he and Alice still have a death courier to deliver.
Francis said silently: "Remember the principle of silence of the golden dawn, if the walls do not fall, remain silent about everything in the world." ”
Even if a war breaks out on the horizon, Golden Dawn will continue to fulfill its mission.
Francis must remain silent, and so must Alice.
But Francis in the shadows can let May play the role of Moon House as a proxy, such as trying to stop the war, which can be regarded as a loophole for Francis, but his own principle of silence cannot be broken.
He is on his own mission, and Alice needs to do it for the Golden Dawn's mission.
Silence until the wall of the end collapses.
Francis gestured away, thinking of what Ffister and Elizabeth had told him, turned his back to Alice and said, "Now, let us go on without distractions, and leave the business here to May." ”
If it is not handled well and not delivered in time, the finger will be distorted in the current Wales reality, and this place will become a monster paradise in an instant.
