Chapter 340: Joint Action, Invaders of the Base! (2-in-1)
"Firefighting! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
"My wife is still in there! Just her, help me save her! ”
"Notify the city defense army, hurry up and notify the city defense army."
In the streets not far from the Royal Palace of Dressrosa, the roaring explosions woke all the people in the vicinity from their dreams. The explosion set fire to a large area of Jin's houses, and the people who escaped and those who came out of the house to check on the situation quickly became chaotic, and shouts were heard far and wide.
Dressrosa itself is a climate environment with high temperature and little rain, which is very dry, and most of the houses in Dressrosa are made of wood.
Relying on the "firefighting team" established by the people spontaneously is a drop in the bucket in the face of urban fires of this magnitude. Although a group of people made themselves disgraced, they really didn't do much to stop the fire.
"Dada-da-da!"
The dense and crisp sound of horses' hooves rang out in the streets not far away, and the people who were fighting the fire looked back in unison to see King Liku III, dressed in light armor, riding a tall horse and leading an advance party of cavalry, the first to arrive.
"It's coming! King Riku is here! ”
"Saved! There is salvation! ”
Seeing the arrival of King Liku III and his cavalry, the people cheered excitedly. When King Liku saw the fire in front of him, he was also shocked, and then quickly reined in the reins of his horse, and shouted to everyone:
"Demolish the wooden buildings around the fire site to stop the fire from spreading."
"Dig a ditch, hurry up and ......"
King Liku was worried about the people and quickly gave an order, but his hand was involuntarily resting on the long sword on the side of the horse's back.
“!!!” King Liku noticed the change, his expression was stunned, and his voice stopped. At this time, the surrounding people were immersed in the joy of the arrival of King Liku's army, and they all gathered around to wait for King Liku's order.
Seeing King Liku suddenly draw his sword, the people were just strange in their hearts, but they didn't have any fear or fear for King Liku in their hearts.
"How...... How can this be......"
The people heard a suspicious murmur from King Liku's mouth, and standing on the side of the horse, the person closest to King Liku looked at King Liku suspiciously when he heard this, and in the next second, a sword light suddenly overwhelmed his vision. Without warning, King Liku, on horseback, leaned over and slashed directly at the body of a nearby citizen.
"Poof!" Blood sprayed, and the man's body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground, blood flowing out of his chest, and soon a small puddle of blood formed on the ground.
The thick smell of blood poured into the nostrils of the surrounding people, and the people who saw this scene were full of astonishment, and they all looked at King Liku in disbelief.
"Ahh
"Stop, hurry up and ......"
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded, and the people searched for prestige, and saw that the knights led by King Liku actually raised their riding spears at this time and stabbed directly at the unsuspecting people.
The knights, like the Riku King, at this moment, they all lost control of their bodies.
"Let's go! Let's go! ”
"Stop, stop!"
King Liku finally sensed that something was wrong at this moment, and shouted loudly to the people and the knights around him, but the movement of his hand was not the slightest slow, and he once again raised his long sword and slashed at the nearest people.
"Crazy...... Crazy......"
"Run! King Riku and his guards are on a killing spree!! ”
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and it was only at this time that people reacted to what was happening, and saw the cruel scene in front of them with their own eyes.
Although the people tried their best to escape, but the knights all had horses, and I don't know what the reason was, the knights who lost control of their bodies were still excellent in riding their horses, and soon chased after the fleeing people, and the riding spears in their hands pierced the bodies of one citizen after another.
King Riku shouted "Stop", but his body had no intention of stopping, manipulating the horse, and slashing sword after sword at the ordinary people who had admired him, respected him, and looked forward to him when disaster came.
Confusion, utter chaos.
Not only did the advance force led by King Liku turn their blades towards the common people, but even the guards who arrived later suddenly lost control of their bodies shortly after entering the area, and without warning, they drew their long swords at their waists and slashed at their closest comrades and partners nearby.
The fire in the city, which no one could control, began to spread rapidly, and I don't know how many people's homes were destroyed by this fire. Under the light of the fire, the kingdom army of King Riku began to massacre the people in the city.
Fearful cries for mercy, terrible screams, and vicious cursing filled the entire Dressrosa.
In the darkness of the night, Doflamingo sat on the roof of a house with his legs crossed, and a bright smile appeared on his face as he watched the country fall into chaos.
"Fur Fur Fur!"
On the phoenix-shaped sunglasses, a tragic scene was reflected, and Doflamingo's chuckle echoed on the roof.
"King Liku, this is your country, is this your attitude towards the people?!"
Doflamingo's hands hung in the air, chuckling and muttering to himself, his fingers moving slightly, and an inexplicable soft sound sounded in the air. Thin lines, invisible to the naked eye in the night, fell from the sky toward all parts of the city. Doflamingo's domineering presence covered a considerable area, and in the area, almost all of the Imperial City Army fell under Doflamingo's control.
Thread fruit, the ability to use thin threads that are imperceptible to the naked eye to control others to act according to their own wishes.
That's what the Doflamingo Devil Fruit is capable of!
"Toot-"
Just when the entire town was in chaos, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the city defense base on the coast in the distance, and the sound of a buzzer instantly pierced the sky and covered almost the entire town.
Highest alert level.
The previous explosion had already attracted the attention of the city defense army under Cyrus, and a team of more than a dozen people was sent to deal with it early, but after ten minutes, the fire in the city became bigger, and the team of more than a dozen people sent by Cyrus was also completely silent and had no contact.
Things have developed to this point, and Cyrus, who has been in the navy for many years, immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately sounded the alarm.
Although the team he sent out was not strong, it was not weak enough to deal with a fire, and it would not be heard from.
Dressrosa does not have many powerful "underground forces", if there were, they would have been uprooted by Jiguoyuanyi, and Jiguoyuanyi left not long ago, how could any "underground forces" develop so rapidly?
Therefore, when the men sent out lost contact, Cyrus immediately began to gather his troops and scattered scouts into the city.
After so many years in the navy, Cyrus grew up not only in strength, he was a "regular army" from the naval school, and he sat in the position of vice admiral for several years, and his style of doing things has long been deeply influenced by the navy.
"Report, Captain, there's something going on in the city!"
"There is news that King Liku's Imperial City Army has mutinied and is burning and looting in the city!"
"Not only that, but there are people who have witnessed King Riku'......"
"Witness King Riku go crazy!"
"In ...... Massacre of the population! ”
In the base's war room, Cyrus sat at the conference table, frowning and marking the area of the explosion on the map on the table.
There were more than a dozen people in the conference room, each with a headset, and through the contact phone bug, they gathered the news of the front line. At that moment, one of them took off his headset and stood up to give a quick report to Cyrus.
"Crazy? Massacre of civilians? ”
Hearing the sighting of King Liku, Cyrus's brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes showed a cold glint, and he muttered to himself in a condensed voice:
"What is the power of a Devil Fruit? Affected my father's brain? ”
"The Imperial City Army mutinied...... Is there any connection with my father? Or is it that everyone is affected by the same Devil Fruit? ”
"The power hidden in Dressrosa by the World Government is so impatient to make a move!"
There was a slight worry between Cyrus's eyebrows, and he thought about it.
He suspected that the capable were at work in Dressrosa, and that Cyrus had expected such a day after he had left Dressrosa. Dressrosa was marked by the World Government as a force that succeeded the country, and no matter how much the people here wanted to draw a line with the country, they still had the label of the country.
Even if Ji Guoyuan really left Dressrosa, the world government would not allow Dressrosa to exist in peace!
Cyrus believes that the cause of this chaos is the power of the world government.
"Did our people come into direct contact with King Liku, or the mutinous Imperial City Army sergeant?"
Cyrus asked the intelligence officers, who shook their heads when they heard him say this. Just as Cyrus was about to take someone to investigate the situation himself, an intelligence officer quickly stood up from his chair and connected the voice from his headset to the public phone bug.
"Commander, there's a message of contact."
The intelligence officer's words fell, and a terrible scream echoed through the phone bug in the combat command room.
"Ahh
When the screams ended, a slightly frightened voice came to everyone's ears: "I, I can't control my body anymore!" ”
"Who's going to help me, who's going to help me!"
"I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill!"
Hearing this, Cyrus raised his head slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"This is the Dressrosa City Defense Operations Command Room."
"Stay calm and report back on you."
"Repeat, here is ......"
The intelligence officer grabbed the phone bug microphone and shouted at the other party.
After hearing this, the other party obviously calmed down, and then quickly said: "Report...... Report. ”
"Number 0401, I'm on the specialty street in front of the palace right now, and my body is out of control."
"I ...... I killed eight ordinary people, I ...... I didn't mean to! ”
"It's not my will."
"Help me, I don't want ......"
At this moment, the sound of communication stopped abruptly.
"Hey! What happened? ”
"How are you? Back! ”
On the street in front of the palace, Doflamingo's figure descended from the sky, looking down at the headless corpse on the ground in yellow light armor, frowning.
"Poof...... "The next moment Doflamingo's figure fell, a head with a headset fell from the sky and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
Doflamingo glanced at the headset on the skull, stepped forward, and stomped on it.
"Fur-fur-fur."
"Cyrus...... It's a little different from what I thought. ”
"It is worthy of being a former vice admiral, in the face of such chaos, he actually calmed down and sent someone to investigate the situation first."
"Did you guess something?"
"In that case......"
Doflamingo said, jumped slightly, and directly "hovered" on a line, and then quickly looked in the direction of the base where the city defense army was located, and moved his fingers slightly.
In the city, King Liku, who was covered in the blood of the people, suddenly slashed people, and then pulled the reins with one hand, directly turned the horse around, and rushed towards the city defense base on the coast.
At the same time, the Imperial City Army controlled in the city also changed direction.
In the command room of the city defense army, although Cyrus has not yet figured out the whole picture, he still got some useful information from the words of the communication soldier just now.
As he expected, the chaos in the city should have been caused by the powerful.
People who have lost control of their own bodies still have their own will in their brains, that is to say, the other party's ability should not be the kind of "spiritual" attribute devil fruit, and the other party's ability should be traceable.
Realizing this, Cyrus did not hesitate any longer, quickly walked out of the command room, and went to the base school field to greet the thousands of city defense troops who had gathered.
Just as he was about to lead people into the city, Cyrus suddenly thought of something, beckoned to his adjutant, and then took off the watch and phone bug on his wrist, threw it into the hands of the adjutant, and instructed:
"Behind this riot, it should be the power of the Devil Fruit."
"In my judgment, it should be the power on the side of the world government."
"They actually made a big attack on Dressrosa, presumably they were completely prepared."
"You take this phone bug, don't participate in this operation."
"If I hadn't come back before dawn, and the riots in the city hadn't subsided."
"Contact General Ji Guoyuan by phone and report to him what happened in Dressrosa."
"If it goes well, I'll come and get this watch phone bug back."
Before leaving, Cyrus cautiously insured himself. In the face of the Devil Fruit ability, Cyrus did not dare to be careless at all.
What's more, the other party is the type of person who can manipulate people's bodies, and if he is not careful, he will not even have a chance to contact the outside world.
In any case, Cyrus could not put the treasure on his own, and his biggest hole card was never the sword he carried!
"Captain, you're too nervous."
"You're going to be fine!"
The adjutant glanced down at the watch phone bug in his hand, and smiled and said with relief.
Cyrus nodded slightly, then turned around, waved to everyone on the school grounds, and quickly left the base.
The adjutant looked at the figure of Cyrus and the others leaving, stood in the school field for a long time, and then turned around, and was about to go back to the command room to help with the dispatch, when he heard several sounds of breaking the air ringing in his ears.
"Finger gun!"
"Arashik!"
Two low roars exploded from his ears, and in the next second, the young adjutant only felt that his body had suffered a heavy blow, and then he fell directly to the ground, and the phone bug in his hand also fell.
"Who is it?"
The young adjutant struggled to open his eyes, and before his consciousness was completely depressed, such a doubt flashed in his heart, and in his sight, a black boot stepped directly on the watch phone bug.
“.”
Closing his eyes, the young adjutant was completely silent at this moment.
