Chapter 761: Raid
Zoro stared coldly at his major general, and Simon showed him a cold sweat on his back. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Lord Zoro, how is this possible, I will not betray the Pope's Hall and your lordship. ”
"That's a beautiful thing to say, Major General Simon. I almost believed it. Zoro sneered.
Simon stepped forward and said, "My lord, I can swear by my life!"
"Enough. Stop your despicable lies. Sauron changed his tone and said, "I heard that those rats are hiding on the island of Evely. You say, if I sink the island, the rats will drown in the sea. Including, those damned traitors?"
Simon's face turned pale, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "How do you know...... How is it possible to know ......"
"Hmph, do you all think I'm an idiot, how can I tolerate those who point fingers at my head!" Zoro sneered, "You Dark Brotherhood, I've wanted to eradicate it for a long time. Now is a good opportunity, I heard that you have two more important guests. ”
"Lord Zoro!" Simon pounced at his feet and said, "I can cut myself, but I beg you, please spare my family." ”
Zoro kicked away, and walked towards the door without looking back: "I'm not interested in your life, I want to see the expressions of your wife and children before they die, it must be very exciting." ”
"No......," Simon yelled, "you are not allowed to hurt them!"
The energy surged, and Simon's muscles all over his body swelled, and he burst his shirt. He grew a little bigger, and threw himself at Sauron like a little giant. Zoro sneered, supported the ground with one foot, and swept quickly with the other, pulling out a half-moon-shaped milky white ripple on the tip of his foot and slamming it on Simon.
Instantly, the entire office was blown to pieces, and Major General Simon gave Sauron a vacuum slash in the air, and when he fell again, his sternum was shattered and he died. Zoro pushed open the door and walked out, and the last remaining wall collapsed.
Next, more than half of the officers and soldiers of the entire island of Turin were arrested. Most of these people are members of the Dark Brotherhood, and the list is provided by Rex. The island of Turin is only a few nautical miles away from the island of Ivory, where the Dark Brotherhood's stronghold is located, and the military base set up on the Papal Hall has secretly fallen under the control of the Brotherhood, thus serving as a cover and outpost for the Brotherhood.
Sauron cleared all the rebellious soldiers on the island in one fell swoop before the news could reach St. Louis before the news could reach St. Louis, and escorted them back to New Rome to be slaughtered. At the same time, the island of Jiaoling is blocked, so that not a single fly can fly out. He himself re-boarded the ship and led the fleet to Iveli Island.
Eveli Island is located on the north side of a shallow beach, opposite the island of Turin. But because there is a large island in the middle, the field of vision is far from wide. Several soldiers have set up a simple sentry post here, which carries the banner of the Knights of the Holy Seal, but is actually a member of the Dark Brotherhood. Sentry posts like these are scattered throughout the island to protect against sudden attacks.
The soldiers did not yet know what had happened on the island of Turin, so everyone looked relaxed. In fact, their usual work is also very simple, with the military base on the island of Turin as a cover, and the head of the base, Major General Simon, who is also a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood, the city of St. Louis on the island of Eveli has been built for more than 20 years, but it has never been discovered.
While several soldiers were talking and laughing, a corpse suddenly floated from the sea. The corpse floated and looked like a warrior on the island of Turin. The soldiers suddenly became nervous, and when they saw the body approaching, one of them brought a fishing net to prepare to retrieve the body for identification.
When the body was dragged to the beach, the soldier quickly untied the net, then reached out and pressed down on the major artery on the side of the corpse's neck, which was a purely instinctive reaction. Unexpectedly, when the fingers were pressed on the side of the neck, there was a strong pulsation under the fingers.
This is not a corpse at all!
He just wanted to warn him, but his stomach was cold. Looking down, it was the corpse that opened its eyes, turned over and stabbed a dagger deep into his abdomen, and then pulled horizontally, opening his entire abdominal cavity. The soldier desperately covered his wounds, but he couldn't stop the bleeding and gushing intestines. He vomited blood and fell to the ground, just in time to see several of his colleagues being easily killed by another man.
After disposing of this sentry post, the man who played the corpse took out a haode communicator wrapped in a tarpaulin from his jacket pocket, and after connecting it, he said indifferently: "All the sentry posts have been cleared, and the annihilation operation can be carried out!"
"Roger, please stay put. ”
A moment later, the fleet appeared in a nearby bay. On the medium-sized warships, assault boats were lowered, and they landed in the shallows with groups of soldiers. After the soldiers landed, they quickly established a defensive line. Then Sauron's ship sailed near the shoal, and the planks in the direction of the shoal were opened, and stretched out to build an improvised bridge between the shoal and the ship.
Then, missile armored vehicles drove out of the ship's cabin in an orderly manner, landed along the bridge and landed in the shallows, and headed inland to the island. Eventually, the armored vehicles and the army came to a halt on a high slope. Beneath the high slopes is a dense forest, and not far away is a mountain range that rises high in the north and south. Right in the heart of the hill is the city of St. Louis, the Dark Brotherhood.
"My lord, everything is ready. ”
Zoro stood on a high slope, and Rex was by his side. Wessel acted as the temporary commander of the operation, and he reported to Sauron only after all arrangements were in place. Zoro nodded and said, "Very good, then let's fire." ”
Wither received the order and immediately gave the order for a general attack. So the missiles on the armored car fired in a row, dragging the flames away. At the same time, the compartment of two elongated armored vehicles opened, and from inside rose a dark black missile. These were ground-penetrating missiles, and they were launched after locking on to their targets, dragging two extremely dazzling fires and flying in the direction of the mountains immediately behind the other missiles.
Seconds later, when the first fireball rose in the direction of the mountains, a series of dense explosions followed. Under the fire of the guided missiles, the flames continued in patches, and the entire mountain range burst into flames. The shock wave unleashed a suffocating wind and brought with it the smell of destruction. When the two ground-penetrating missiles also exploded, the air around the mountain was rapidly burned and expanded, forming a terrifying fireball.
At the heart of the fireball was a dazzling white light, surrounded by flames that flowed slowly like lava. The fireball grows and grows, absorbing everything it can burn. When it almost covered the entire mountain range, it cracked a little from the center, and then the flames of more than 2,000 degrees rose into the sky, forming a continuous pillar of fire that reached into the clouds. At this time, shijie is silent. It wasn't until a few seconds later that a handful of screams came from the direction of the explosion.
When the flames burned out, turning into a slowly tumbling, red and black mushroom cloud. The soldiers began to pour down the high slope at the orders of the commander, and they would make their way through the dense forest to the city of St. Louis, blocking anyone who had escaped the bombardment.
Although, theoretically, there could not have been survivors under a bombardment of that magnitude just now. But Sauron, who came with the intention of killing everything, could not let go of even the slightest possibility.
Just as the first missile exploded, the city of St. Louis, located in the heart of the mountain, shook violently. The ensuing explosions caused the rocks at the top of the mountain's belly to fall off, and waves of fire came in from outside. At this time, Zero and Paul were in the middle of a second negotiation with Gowry in the Kasbah. Faced with the sudden attack, Gouri's face turned pale.
He threw himself to the window and saw a light in front of him. A large wave of fire came in from outside the mountain and fell into the city like heavenly fire. Buildings burned, collapsed, and the screams of the people reached far away, forming a prelude to destruction.
When Gori turned around and was about to say something, a violent explosion drowned out all sounds. The light exploded in the belly of the mountain, and it was not until a few seconds later that the light dimmed. Then the castle had begun to crumble, massive blocks of masonry rose from the sky, frightening cracks stretched in all directions, and the delicate fortress was like a castle on the beach, covered by missile fire.
Paul came to his senses and found himself thrown to the ground by Zero. Zero's back was arched with a gravel several meters square, and Paul's face changed. If it weren't for Zero protecting him, he'd be a meatloaf by now. Zero shook the falling stone with a slight force, and then pulled Paul up. The castle was shaking, and Paul was unsteady on his feet, and if he hadn't been supported by Zero, he would have fallen to the ground again.
Gori screamed, "It's you! You're joining forces with Sauron to attack us, aren't you?
The Pearl Corridor is located in the Shili range of the Pope Hall, and it is naturally the only one that can attack St. Louis City at this time. It's not hard to guess, even if Gori is stupid, he can guess who is attacking him now.
He was also protected by the west wind around him, and Zero ignored him and looked to the side. Semir was crushed under a pile of rubble, revealing only a hand with a jeweled ring, and it seemed that he would not survive. Luckily for Isabel, the rockfall just now basically fell around her, and she was only slightly injured.
At this time, Zephyr shouted, "My lord, the situation should not be what you think. Sauron was going to kill them all together, or else he would only wait for them to leave before attacking. Besides, for now, let's get out of here first!"
Gori's expression softened a little, and Zephyr said to the others: "Follow me, there is an escape passage in the castle, which can go directly to the nearest dock." ”
At this time, Mr. X and Cinderella rushed in as well. Zero asks Cinderella to protect Isabelle, while Mr. X protects Paul, led by Zephyr and Gori, towards the escape route. Zero fell on Zuihou, and the group hurried out of the conference hall to an escape escape under the castle. As soon as I entered the passage, I saw waves of fire rolling in the sky.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with flames. Zero knew that St. Louis City was finished, and Sauron's attack was so sudden that it was too late for the Brotherhood to take any precautions. Being able to do this can only mean that there is an inner ghost in the Brotherhood, otherwise Zoro would not be able to time it so accurately and seize this opportunity to destroy himself, Paul, and the Dark Brotherhood.
When the armor plate at the exit of the passage was closed, the flames outside were completely isolated, but there were still muffled explosions from time to time. At the same time, the passage is shaking, and even though the surrounding area of the passage has been reinforced with armor, it still gives people the feeling that it is in danger of collapsing at any time.
Everyone was silent all the way, and they walked towards the exit of the passage as fast as they could. After exiting, there is a tunnel. The tunnel vibrated slightly, causing the lights on both sides to flicker from time to time. A car has been prepared outside the escape passage for many years, and as soon as Zero and the others come out, they all drill into the car. Zephyr jumped into the driver's seat, and as soon as he started the engine, he heard a loud bang behind him, followed by flames.
The west wind snorted, and the accelerator stepped on the end. The engine roared, and a huge burst of kinetic energy propelled the car forward desperately. Looking back, the waves of fire behind him were pouring in, clenching on. As long as the car is a little slower, it will catch up immediately. However, the speed of the car has reached its limit, but the fire wave behind it continues to accelerate. Seeing that the exit of the tunnel was in sight, the west wind roared and finally opened the tunnel before the fire wave caught up.
As the car drove away, Zero saw that the mountain range where the city of St. Louis was located had been covered in a sea of fire. The fire was raging, and even the radiation clouds in the sky were reflected in a blood-red color. The fall of St. Louis was a heavy blow to the Dark Brotherhood. Although the Brotherhood may not have concentrated all its wealth in St. Louis, the losses are certainly not indispensable. What's more, Sauron's attacks made it impossible for them to hide in the darkness anymore.
Exposed to the light, they will no longer be able to carry out their activities as calmly as before. The Brotherhood, which has turned from darkness to light, will inevitably be forced to take a stand, because in the next war, neither Zero nor Sauron will tolerate the existence of an organization with an ambiguous position.
But whichever side they explicitly sided with was not what the Brotherhood wanted, and it was contrary to their purpose.
However, in today's situation, they have no choice.
But Zero knows that it's too early to say that. Unless Gouri, Isabel and the others can escape, it's all just talk.
With Sauron's ability and style, his attack will not be just this wave of missile bombardment!
After the explosion, the sound of gunfire could be faintly heard echoing in the mountains behind him. Gao Li gritted his teeth, but surprisingly did not show anger, but judging from the hands that were clenched too hard and looked pale, he was in a bad mood now. Those gunshots, you don't have to think about it, you know that it is Sauron's soldiers who are harvesting the lives of the survivors.
But now Gori can't do anything, at least until he leaves Evely.
When it was time to reach the dock, he finally encountered an interception. But the few people in the car, including Zero, were not easy to match, and some soldiers alone couldn't stop them. The real threat was a shoulder-mounted missile, but it was also zero and easily detonated. The flames of the explosion blocked the enemy's view, causing the car to go far before they crossed the blast zone.
When arriving at the pier, a hybrid sailboat has been waiting for a long time. The captain and sailors above are in place and ready to set sail. Seeing the car driving to the dock, the captain yelled on the boat: "Get on board!"
Needless to say, no one wants to stay on a dangerous island. The west wind escorted Gori up first, and then Paul and Zero began to board the ship. At this time, a group of soldiers chased after him, and Mr. X met him without saying a word. Swinging his fist, a huge fist formed by energy ripples in the air, he blasted straight into the air towards the pursuers.
Giant's Fist!
The huge fist that came out of his hand slammed into the ground near the pursuers like a missile, killing them and injuring them instantly, before Mr. X jumped onto the boat. With the efforts of the sailors, the sailboat retreated, left the dock for a while, spun around again, and then headed for the bay with full power.
After sailing through a waterway that was not spacious with the neighboring islands, the sailing ship entered the sea. But as soon as the ship came out, three warships blocked it. The captain cursed and turned the rudder sharply. The power boat pulls a graceful arc on the surface of the sea, turns around and runs. However, the silhouette of two warships appeared in front of him, and it seemed that Zoro had blocked the sea.
"Now it's time to get out!" shouted Gori.
The captain snorted, even if he didn't agree, there was no way, the batteries on the five warships in front and behind were already aimed at them, and after a short period of ballistic accuracy, the batteries on the warships opened fire. In the roaring cannonballs, one cannonball after another whistled, chasing the power ship and exploding. The sea near the hull exploded into a column of water, and although it had not yet hit the power boat, the surging water also caused the ship to sway.
"Lower the runner and change to manual operation, quick!" the captain gave another series of orders, so the lower sides of the hull opened and lowered the wheelwheel-like wheel. The sailors in the cabin stepped on the two large wheels with all their might, allowing the ship to speed up.
A few capable people came to the back of the ship, and from time to time they exploded the cannonballs that fell towards the hull. Among the four people, the most inferior is also the eighth order, so it is naturally not a problem to hold a power ship. However, just when the power ship was about to break out of the encirclement, a building ship suddenly caught up from behind. The behemoth was much faster than a normal warship, but in the blink of an eye, it left the warship behind and kept closing the distance between it and the power ship.
Zero could see that on the bow deck of the ship, a man stood proudly, although he had never met, Zero knew that person was Sauron. Because the energy aura displayed on his body was the ninth order. Unlike Leo and their ninth-order aura that they had improved with external force, Sauron's aura was refined and condensed, it was a taste that would only be formed after time and baptism of battle, and it was definitely different from Leo and their rough liliang aura.
And behind Sauron, Dao figures continued to appear, and these figures all exuded the aura of a strong man. Despite its crudeness, the Liliang level is real. Even if any of them were not zero's opponents, if as many as a dozen high-level people rushed up, zero would have a hard time coping with it. What's more, the other party also has a Sauron who is not below zero, and compared with the two, Zero's side is obviously at a disadvantage!
