Chapter 148: The Destruction of the Empire
My lord.
The official standing at the foot of the throne steps couldn't help but complain in her heart, didn't she think he hadn't heard the words that called the Doom Empire "my empire"?
And what are you pretending to be sitting on the throne? Isn't this just a clear statement that you want to be in power?
However, despite the muttering in his heart, he could only remain silent.
In addition to complaining in his heart, the official had to suppress his emotions, and in the face of Madame Gu's anger, he nodded his head and showed a submissive attitude, and then stepped aside and continued to contact Baron Straker.
Seeing that the officials had finally obeyed her orders, Mrs. Mask's anger gradually subsided, and she gently leaned against the stone throne, stroking her golden mask. Beneath this mask hides a disfigured face, with traces of time and endless despair.
Her fingers slid lightly across the mask, feeling its smooth texture.
The mask gently hides her true face behind her back, becoming a barrier to her isolation from the outside world. Her eyes were a little misty, recalling the past.
Originally, she had been secretly contacting Baron Straker and the Red Skull for at least four or five years, and as soon as Doom died or was old and weak, Hydra would join her up to take the land and make her a lord.
But by this time, Doom and Red Skull had both died, Baron Straker was nowhere to be seen, and foreign enemies had also invaded, and the situation was completely out of her control.
Surrender?
Maybe someone else can have this option, but Madame Mask definitely won't, Doctor Doom has taken her in for so many years, she is not an idler, she has already become the biggest agent leader and executioner of the Head of Doom, committing many crimes.
Of course, she didn't mind doing that.
"Boom-" A loud bang rang out, and the entire building shook in trembling. The officer hurriedly glanced at the surveillance screen twice, then his eyes widened and he screamed, "Oh no, ma'am! They're breaking through the building's defenses, and all the robots are outside! ”
Lady Mask was instantly alert, she suddenly stood up from the stone throne, clutched the handrail and shouted, "Quick, call those damn robots back!" ”
But she seemed to have forgotten that it was she herself who had ordered all the Destruction Robots to be sent out a few minutes ago.
A few seconds later, in the distant sky, a handful of robots flew in, and Mrs. Mask's eyes immediately lit up.
Perhaps this is the reinforcement she is waiting for, the key force that can slow down the decline and buy her time to escape.
However, before the robots could get closer, an afterimage suddenly swept through the sky, almost too fast to catch, and then all the robots exploded in an instant, falling to the ground in pieces.
"What."
Madame Maske's eyes widened in disbelief as she watched everything before her, and her last hope was shattered in an instant.
She froze for two seconds before sitting back on the stone throne.
The officer tapped the console a few more times, took a few deep breaths, and then looked up, "Ma'am, should we prepare to escape?"
His voice stopped abruptly as he saw Madame Masked pull a gun out of nowhere and aim it at her own temple without hesitation.
Just when the official's heart was terrified, Mrs. Mask suddenly pulled the trigger with her finger, and the gunfire cut through the air, leaving a flash of light on the ground.
A stream of blood shot out, and her body shook slightly, rolling off the throne.
Damn, she died simply, and now the blame falls on herself.
The official cursed secretly, and then immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Everyone listen to my orders!" Stop resisting now, lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally! Doum the Great is dead, Madame Mask has committed suicide, we have lost our leadership, and there is no point in continuing to fight! ”
"Repeat, stop the resistance immediately, lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally!"
Inside and outside the building, radio broadcasts the official's words spread to every corner of the city.
When the ordinary soldiers who were still resisting heard the sudden news, they stopped their actions and looked at each other blankly with their guns raised.
"Surrender? Should we surrender now? One soldier whispered, his eyes full of hesitation and unease.
"What choice do we have but to lay down our arms and surrender? Do you still want to fight those murderous superheroes? Another soldier said anxiously, his words revealing helplessness.
Just now, several of his comrades-in-arms were either beaten into a sieve by those warriors wearing golden power armor, or torn in half, which is different from the superheroes written in the book.
Suddenly, a squad leader jumped out, his face full of rage, and he shouted angrily at the soldiers around him.
"What are you guys of trash? The will and philosophy of the Emperor of Destruction has always been our faith! Now that he's gone, should we leave his ideas behind? ”
The squad leader looked at the soldiers around him and was still stunned, stomped his foot hard, and roared loudly:
"Damn rubbish! Are you so cowardly? You were once fearless warriors, but now you can't even make a decision? What a bunch of weak and ridiculous cowards! ”
His voice was like a huge wave, hitting each soldier's eardrums, causing the soldiers around him to begin to feel a little moved, and they all lowered their heads, revealing their inner struggles.
yes, how can they be so cowardly that they can't even make a simple decision?
"I see, Captain"
One of the soldiers suddenly spoke categorically, and the other soldiers nodded their heads and exchanged glances, all seeing the same thought in each other's gazes.
The squad leader nodded in satisfaction and wanted to continue talking, but at this moment, he felt an unusual atmosphere, and when he looked up, he was stunned to find that all the soldiers had raised their guns and pointed them at him.
Those eyes that had previously been filled with hesitation were now cold and determined, and they were no longer swayed by his threats and commands.
The team leader was stunned for a moment, "You traitors! Don't you know that Doom is our true master! ”
The moment these words were spoken, all the soldiers opened fire together, and the sound of gunfire resounded through the hall, beating the squad leader to the ground, and his body was like a dead leaf torn by the wind under the impact of the bullet, and then shattered to the ground, no longer making a sound.
Then, the soldiers hurriedly threw down their guns and raised their hands to the approaching group of Thunder warriors, signaling for their surrender.
As the fighting in the city subsided, the people in the ruins watched cautiously at the gold-armored warriors roaming the streets, and only after realizing that they would not harm themselves did they boldly step out of the shelter, looking at the ruins around them in confusion.
The old man hiding in the café slowly stood up and looked out the window at everything, his eyes full of indescribable emotion.
He couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes, as if trying to hide the excitement in his heart, he never thought that he would ever see the wicked fall.
With the last destruction robot's head smashed to pieces.
The empire was completely destroyed after forty-three years of destruction.
