In the command room, the commander-in-chief of the ancient Roman city pressed the button of the speaker, then put ten fingers into his hair and scratched hard.

When he commanded into the microphone just now, his tone exuded absolute majesty, any madman who dared to invade the city, it was natural to crush it with absolute majesty and firepower, and there could not be even a bit of scum left.

His tone also told all the soldiers in the inner city that the result was bound to be so.

But only he knew what it meant that the invaders were still alive under such terrible firepower. Thinking back to the contact desk that had been disconnected one after another in the past few minutes, Mr. Commander-in-Chief felt that his hairs stood on end, and how could the other party escape from that building, and how could the intruder quietly enter the underground pipes under the suppression of such terrible firepower; And what a terrifying thing it would be to let such a terrible person into the intricate underground darkness.

He paced back and forth in the command room, his face pale, only five minutes before the alarm sounded, and in the first two minutes, the city had already assembled an effective defensive offensive, which was already the fastest and most professional response.

In fact, at first, he thought that some reactionary forces of the empire were pouring out at this juncture, ready to add some chaos to the empire in a suicidal way, but to his surprise, there were only two invaders.

It was only after sneaking directly into the treatment room where Augustine the Great usually was, that he was found in danger of being discovered.

What kind of guy can do this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, he couldn't be glad that he hung up the speaker quickly just now, otherwise, would he let the soldiers in the city hear the slight tremor in his voice, and at the same time, he was even more glad that Emperor Augustine canceled this health monitoring, otherwise, if he let an emperor who had just abdicated die in the city, wouldn't he be a sinner for the ages.

Fortunately, none of the above happened.

But it didn't happen for the time being!

In just a few minutes, the commander-in-chief had begun to have the most genuine fear of those two people, he knew that the soldiers under his command were dying, and there would be more to come, and these deaths did not seem to be effective in stopping those two people, after all kinds of thoughts, he suddenly shouted.

"When will the third echelon be ready!"

Ten seconds later, the door to the command room was pushed open, and a communications soldier stood outside the door tremblingly: "Yes, it will take 7 minutes." ”

"What?! 7 minutes?! ”

The commander-in-chief slammed the table, shaking the microphones on it to the point of almost falling over, and the communication soldier was also extremely worried: "Report sir, the transportation of the third-order archdemon is really too difficult, and it is only four at a time, 7 minutes is already the limit." ”

The commander exhaled a few heavily, in fact, he also knew that the third echelon was dispatched, and the four third-order great demons stationed in the city were indeed difficult to transport, plus the time to wake up from the soaking of the demon sedative, 7 minutes was already very fast, if it was just an ordinary army, it would take half an hour to load it alone.

He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, it seemed that the oppressive force given by the two invaders was really too much, and he actually let himself move all the four big demons out at one time, which was more or less a bit of a chariot fighting mosquitoes.

However, he understands that this is the most appropriate way to deal with it at this stage, and after retiring from the battlefield, he deeply understands that any situation beyond his expectations must be strangled in the cradle as soon as possible, otherwise if the situation further escalates, it is likely to bring irreparable losses.

And in order to stop the two humans, directly using a large demon can be regarded as a kind of respect for the strong strength of those two assassins.

At this moment, Sherlock and Watson were still running in the underground drainage pipes, and in the dark underground, Watson listened to the footsteps in front of him and followed closely, he wondered a little in his heart, in this intricate and unobtrusive environment, Sherlock could run forward with his head unimpeded, as if he had already known the underground route of the city.

And in fact, it is true, the waterproof system of this ancient city is extremely good, and there have not been many changes over the years, he has already had a clear roadmap in his mind, and Augustine the Great will leave with the help of the airship, which has long been expected, after all, for the assassin, as long as he gets on the airship, then it is impossible to pose any threat to him.

But he didn't expect that in just a few minutes, he and Watson would cause such a huge shock to the city's security commander, and directly let him use demons, or dispatch four at once.

In fact, think about it, the person who originally suggested the application of this arming mode was also too frustrated.

This is a city area, not a battlefield, and there will be no military force trying to bomb the city, so no matter how cautious you are, you won't get a few large demons to garrison nearby.

But I don't know how this idea came through many years ago, in short, in the third defense echelon, in addition to those defensive troops with full equipment configuration, there are really four third-order great demons that have been stationed for a long time!

It doesn't make sense, but it works.

Under the shroud of holy light, the big demons can't tear open the void cracks, which means that no one can survive the siege and pursuit of the four great demons, even if it is a person like Baskerville who can fight the big demon with his own strength, it is only facing one, and when he encounters four at the same time, he can only flee in the wilderness.

That's why Emperor Augustine said at that time that man is only a man after all.

The underground route cannot really lead directly to every corner of the city, and the long-term information barrier from the outside world is not conducive to speculating on the target's course of action, so in the end, the two of them still have to come to the surface.

A drainage fence was silently removed, and two shadows came out covertly, and it was obviously unrealistic to keep hiding in the face of the strict defense of the entire city, so it only took 3 minutes, and the two people were finally discovered.

In the remaining minutes, everything was the same as before, but the oppressive force was even more terrifying, and the tongues of fire converged into bright pillars of light, spitting between the streets, blowing off the walls of the buildings, and in the dust, everything was torn into pitiful pieces, and in the streets of the ancient city, there was blood, explosions, screams, dark shadows skimming, and people died.

At this moment, Augustine the Great's car was already on the straight road leading to the landing place of the airship.

Still at this moment, four transports loaded with huge steel containers had entered the city, and on the way, the demonic tranquilizers in the containers had been emptied, and with a few sounds of steel bearings turning, the door of the large jar slowly opened, and several huge claws, feet, or arms stretched out of it.

In the midst of a few cars not far away, four people with serious expressions stepped down, they were dressed in the most ordinary guard uniforms, but from the attitudes of the people around them, it could be seen that these four people had extremely unusual identities.

"Where's the goal?" One of the muscular men asked directly.

"Two streets away, it's moving rapidly toward the west." A garrison member stood in a standard military posture and reported loudly.

The stout man didn't say much, because he came here with only one mission, and that was to kill the two intruders, although he didn't know why it was just two people, and he had to dispatch the third echelon, but the task was the task, as long as it was executed, and he didn't need to know the reason.

So just listening to the 'bang', the man had already picked up speed on the spot, rushing towards the direction pointed by the soldier, and with his actions, the remaining three people also quickly followed, the whole task handover process was not even a minute, but it gave everyone around a great sense of security.

Immediately afterward, the four third-order archdemons also erected their huge bodies, and began to run and climb on the roads between the city in their own accustomed ways, and the huge roar and the habitual roar that had just woken up from their slumber resounded between the surrounding buildings.
