The lights of New Antioch and the stars and moon wheels in the sky are all reflected in the quietly flowing Hudson River. Reflected in the same light tower is a huge lighthouse on an uninhabited island named "Forbidden Zone 0".

"Everyone! Back behind the cordon! Those who cross the line close to the shore will be shot on the spot! Repeat! After retreating to the cordon! ”

Loudspeakers from helicopters roared into the streets. The warning was not an empty threat, because the smoke from the guns had not yet cleared, and the searchlights swept across the seaside streets. The fresh blood stains reflected the bright moonlight like a puddle of water on the ground, but they soon dried, solidified, and turned into a dull puddle of blood. The smell of blood was blown farther away by the whirlwind of the helicopter, and no one dared to approach it anymore.

"Raven III., hear the reply."

"Yes, Raven III. is online."

"Report your location."

"Our plane is located in the 1:2:1 area northwest of the No. 0 exclusion zone and is patrolling south."

"Move closer to six o'clock. There is an unknown object floating on the sea, and the other party has no signal to identify friend or foe, and the call is not answered. Check it out now. ”

"Understood. It is approaching six o'clock. No signal has been received at this time. ”

Above the crowd, helicopters with cannons cut a loop in the air, approaching the southern part of the exclusion zone. Without the helicopter's searchlights, the streets are dark again. In the darkness, only a pair of eyes were quietly looking at the sea in the distance.

"The sea search radar has been activated and no target has been found. Wait a minute! Visually discovered! It is not shown on the radar! There is no identification of friend or foe! The goal has risen! It's a submarine! ”

"Warning shot!" The Romans never used verbal warnings, they only used cannonballs.

The cannon immediately opened fire on the floating submarine, and the 20-mm cannon made a white splash around the submarine. But the shell was like hitting the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, but it only caused the virtual shadow of the submarine to fluctuate, and did not cause substantial damage to it.

"Huh? What's going on over there? Shang Luo looked out from the periscope, and he saw a helicopter in front of him firing at the water.

"They're playing sympathetic bait." Marcus stood next to the periscope with his hands behind his back, "Our ship is currently in exile, so it does not carry any recognizable signs. ”

"Didn't they shoot without warning?"

"The shooting itself is a warning. If you don't warn, it should be a torpedo thrown over. As he spoke, he picked up the talkie, "The whole ship is ready, and after 5 seconds, it will exit the sympathetic shield, ready to establish contact with the outside world." ”

"This is Raven III., warning shooting. The shell passed through and did not hit the target. It's like a shadow. ”

"Shadows?" The command end hesitated, "It could be. No, don't worry about it. If it really is, you can't kill them. Ready to launch a torpedo. ”

"Understood, torpedoes are being dropped"

Suddenly, a muffled voice came from the communication channel: "This is the Athenian Navy Ω39 phlogistin submarine." Don't lock it up, it's a friendly army. ”

"We don't have that staff." Raven III. replied decisively.

"Have your superiors answer the phone."

"Is it Marcus? You're alive? "On the other end of the phone, Command has taken over the communication authority.

"It's good to hear your voice again, Archon Pompey."

"Aren't you dead? Or are you just a vengeful soul now? ”

"The vision of Constantinople is not a lie, and I am talking to you in my own voice. Besides, you should know that it is impossible for all submarines to move freely, because we rely on the lights of the fortress of Atlantis to guide us. You can't think the whole fortress of Atlantis is betrayed, can you? ”

"Ha, I can't trust Victoria, I can't trust you. I'll let my people let you in. Let me ask in advance, is there something wrong? ”

"Pandas. What else can it be. ”

"I won't ask me why no one has informed me. Because if I knew you were coming, it would break your sympathetic barrier. It's just that every time you guys come out of nowhere, it's a little hard for me. Stop where you are, martial law is under way today. ”

Marcus put down the talkative.

"Just now, Grand Commander Pompey?"

"It's not." Marcus replied, "This is his son Pompey the Younger, or Pompé Lyon—Pompé Lyon Pompey Magnus." But I will give him face and call him Pompey the Consul. Both father and son were consuls, but his father also held the position of 'Imperial Commander of Colombia', and he was only an archon. ”

"Colombia is well equipped, huh?" Shang Luo still noticed the helicopter just now. Although a little blind.

"Colombia is a place where all practices come together, and we have everything new here. However, new things don't always work well. No matter how new it is, it won't hit our submarine—but it's going to have to show up. ”

He looked behind: "Your Majesty Victoria, are you going out together?" ”

"Nope." Victoria shook her head, "I'm not here to see Pompey. Besides, I can't be seen by people in Colombia like this. ”

She's scared. 】

"Why?"

[You have been in contact with the Empire on one side of the occult, but you have not seen the other side. The flag of the empire was a double-headed eagle with two heads. Here's the other head. The two kings didn't see each other, and she didn't want to see the people on the Colombian side directly. 】

"Okay." Shang Luo sighed, "Then, leave it to me." ”

He looked at Victoria: "Keep in touch with me, I'll take care of the things outside." ”

"Thank you. Excuse me. It's giving you so much trouble every time. ”

"Tut-tut-tut." Behind him, he pressed his phone and sent a string of texts.

“？？？” Shang Luo replied to him with a string of question marks.

Phaethon shook his head and put his phone away.

"Now, then, Your Excellency the King of Rome, there is a problem. Do you go out in the same suit as we do, or do you wear your own clothes? ”

"Let's wear the same clothes as you. I'm going to change my clothes for a while. ”

"Okay, locker room, please go this way."

[I want to change my clothes too!] Apollonia shouted.

"Uh" Marcus was stunned for a moment, "You mean, your alchemist needs to be disguised?" But you can just put it on."

[I want a locker room! 】

"But now that you're wearing nothing, why do you wear clothes and have to go to the locker room, you?" Halfway through speaking, he hurriedly stopped himself, "Understood! This will give you a changing room. You go this way too. Everyone deserves their own locker room, and you're certainly no exception. ”
