Chapter 504: Return to Hell (Part I)

It was the high beam of the armoured combat vehicles common among the front-line troops, and it calmly cut through the wind and snow, reflecting Sherlock and Crimson, as well as the snow around them, even more white.

But the man didn't panic, just waited quietly for the car to come from far and near, and then stopped in front of him.

The door opened naturally, and Godfrey turned his head sideways in the cab, looking at Sherlock and the behemoth beside him, trying to keep his expression calm.

As a powerful killer who could assassinate dozens of second-order contractors and even kill third-order contractors as a mortal, he felt that he had done a lot of shocking things in his life, but in front of this guy, Sherlock, he only felt that the things he had done were like playing at home.

"It's pretty punctual." Sherlock smiled and waved at him.

"I'm never late." Godfrey had that grim expression, but in fact, he couldn't breathe from the tension in his heart. This guy in front of him is now the most wanted criminal in the entire empire, but he wants to help him in the realm of the front line, or help him go to the gates of hell.

Well, if I can have a son and a half daughter one day, then I can boast to them with great pride that the man who turned the whole empire upside down back then has to come and ask me for help.

Nowadays, Sherlock's reputation in the empire is indeed not very good, all the previous glory has been painted with a layer of conspiracy, and even many bigwigs and government agencies have begun to stand up and admit their mistakes, saying that it was the negligence of their own departments back then, which almost allowed this anti-human conspiracy to succeed, but fortunately, now that the true purpose of this person has been recognized, everything is still in time.

However, so far, there has not been a clear official statement about what these so-called "conspiracy" and "real purpose" are.

It's just that in the gradually rich pre-war atmosphere, it is constantly stated that the empire is still strong, and it will become stronger and stronger in the future, and that a new era of mankind is coming, as for the man named Sherlock, after all, it is just a small episode on the eve of a great era, and he is about to be submerged under the tide of history.

In the past month, this kind of media propaganda slogan has appeared in front of the eyes of the people of the empire in an extremely frequent way, and even the negative reports about Sherlock can be used as a reverse case to inspire the enthusiasm of the people.

The reasons for this. This is because the final base of operations on the front line has finally been established.

At this point, the most majestic war fortress in the entire history of the Holy Dynasty, and even in the entire history of mankind, stands in front of the gates of hell, not only majestic, but even majestic, vast, and other words that describe the mountains and seas to express people's impression of this war fortress.

Even if it was the vast demon group on the other side of the canyon in the distance, the huge black crack that reached the sky, as long as you were in this fortress, you could feel a sense of security from the heart.

The citizens of the empire have not had a good time in these months, and the procession of those marches has not decreased, and even some of the districts have become a little numb, and they can only let these people continue to stand in the streets to vent their anger.

It's just that most of the striking workers returned to their posts, because the emperor who had a scientific background was really able to say what people wanted to hear, and there was a large amount of appropriation after opening up the treasury savings.

Of course, the most important thing is that anger is also reasonable, and the evil habits that have been perpetuated in human society to this day will not be eliminated by continuous demonstrations, but those demons can be truly destroyed.

When the external enemy is put in front of the face, human beings can still unite rationally after all, or in other words, temporarily put the internal contradictions on the back burner.

The final stage of the expedition began.

The lost tax revenue is a little less weight than the closing of the gates of hell.

And while the hinterland of the empire is singing the hymn of humanity, Lady Erin Ed's journey to the front is steadily moving towards the end of the expedition.

As the final battle is imminent, the human coalition has an incomparably huge demand for soul visual devices, and Irene, as the largest producer of this project, is of course unimpeded all the way, and is received by the head of the military department everywhere.

"The ultimate basis of war is money."

This statement is true in all times.

Of course, no one would know that in Irene's convoy, the fugitive wanted by the whole empire and his demon had been hiding in a certain carriage of the transport, and gradually approached the gates of hell.

Early in the morning.

In the heart of the Antarctic continent, the harsh winter that lasts for millions of years has made the ecology here close to nothing, vegetation, all living things will not survive here, only those demons from hell will appear here.

In the midst of the howling wind and snow, a high wall suddenly appeared, like a current at sea level hitting the highest edge of the continental shelf, and the high wall brought all the cold wind to an abrupt end.

【Alighiya Fortress】

Perhaps some native custom of the military hierarchy, the fortress was named after the rare surname of Lord Dante in order to win a good fortune in victory.

When Erin's convoy slowly drove into the fortress, even if she was well-informed, it was hard for her to imagine that in such an environment, such a huge city could really be built only for war.

The war forces of the entire empire are concentrated here, and the airships and front-line trains used to transport troops and war armor every day are like the turbulent traffic in the city.

The accompanying military leaders proudly introduced the greatness of this fortress to Erin, let her see with her own eyes the endless war weapons and tens of thousands of demon storage warehouses, and enthusiastically told her how much support the military will receive after the gates of hell are closed, and how many years of wealth can be exchanged for in the future.

Erin smiled, listening to the fanatical chatter in her ears, in fact, what the so-called war finance colonel said in the mouth, she had foreseen it a few years ago, at that time, in order to be able to put the soul visual device into the battlefield, Erin did not hesitate to unite with the Holy Son of the Holy See, desperately stood on the opposite side of Augustine the Great, and supported a scientific scholar to come to power, which shows how long she has been waiting for this day.

But at this moment, Erin suddenly realized that she didn't care much about this investment.

She was just wondering if Sherlock had slipped out of the transport car now, whether he had found a suitable airship as he wished, and whether he would be discovered by the army halfway through.

Just when she was a little apprehensive in her heart, a staff member in the tower deployed by the aviation suddenly frowned, he looked at an airship in the sky a little confused, then lowered his head, and quickly looked at today's take-off and landing schedule.

"Hey, hey, why is the number of takeoffs wrong, it seems to be one more."

He asked his busy colleague next to him.

"Ah, the person on the previous shift didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and it's normal to make some small mistakes!"

"But." The man hesitated again: "But how can any airship fly in the direction of the gates of hell?" ”

"Ah???!!!h

Today is a little less, I was too busy some time ago, which caused my body to be sick (woo woo woo).

After returning to hell, there are two waves of big plots to save energy.
