Chapter 924: Gifts
In the afternoon, Zero left Phoenix. In a two-story building, Xiuya stood in front of the window and watched Zero drive away.
Zuo Fei sat on the sofa and said, "Major General, what do you think about this matter?"
"I don't know what you mean. Xiuya didn't reply.
Zuo Fei spread his hands and said: "Obviously, Zero is not ready to tell us everything, it seems that he doesn't trust us too much." ”
"He doesn't trust you. Xiuya emphasized: "Isn't this normal? For me, that's enough. ”
"You trust him?"
"All I can say is that he is a man who walks the talk. Shuya replied.
On the morning of the next day, Zero arrived in the city of Jericho. The Valhalla's frontline base was in the dust, and in the distance, soldiers could be seen erecting shelves on top of the collapsed walls and rebuilding them, leaving traces of war. The fragments of shells that can be seen everywhere are silent witnesses to the intensity of the war.
By the time Zero entered the confines of Jericho, the soldiers of Valhalla had already brought the news of his arrival back to the base. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Thor, who had not been seen for a long time, drove out of the gate in an off-road vehicle, and behind him, the old face of the Hammer of Doom. Among them were Starley and Nero, who survived the Battle of the Green Capital.
"Zero, my brother, it's so nice to see you!" Thor exploded, jumped out of the car, and punched Zero in the chest.
Zero was gladly defeated, and the punch shook him slightly, and he could fully feel Thor's sincere emotion. After greeting the Staley and the others, Thor hooked his shoulders and raised his hand and shouted, "Look who's coming!" boys, this is a guy who walked out of our Doomhammer, he is a living legend, and the immortal glory of our Doomhammer!"
No matter what was at hand, the soldiers stopped and greeted Zero with cheers. Thor smiled silently before pulling the awkward Zero into his car. The car drove straight to the command center of Jericho City, and when the door closed, only Zero and Thor were left in the war room.
"Tell me, did you come all the way here just to visit my old friend?" said Thor with a smile.
This man has been nurtured by the fires of war, the edges and corners have become more distinct, and the aura of strength is much stronger than before. If there is no accident, Thor should also be promoted to the tenth order, after all, even Starley and they are now a powerhouse of the ninth order. If he had this strength in Green Capital at that time, he would not have been beaten by Tyr and dizzy.
Zero nodded and said, "I'm looking for you to discuss something, I want to capture Hart alive." So, you need to cooperate with it. ”
Thor was stunned and said, "You want to catch Hart? Why? To be honest, that beautiful boy has some value for his asshole in addition to his military talent. He's not a beauty, why are you catching him? ”
Zero couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "I'm not interested in his asshole, but he may be the key to ending this war." ”
"Of course, as long as he is killed, the parliamentary army will not be allowed to roll up and leave. ”
"No, that would only lead them to send a new commander. Zero said in a deep voice, "Trust me, Thor. I'm not going to do things that don't make sense. ”
Thor looked at him for a long time before nodding and saying, "You don't know how much I and the people below want to slaughter that kid." Well, since you say that, then you might as well tell me what you want me to do. And I'm even more curious, what is the use of that kid to be able to end this war?"
On this day, Zero and Saul talked secretly in the conference room for half a day. The two of them came out of the room at noon, and Zero did not even eat lunch, so he did not leave Jericho. No one knew what they were planning, and that was why Zero was going to Jericho in person. If Thor's contact is made through other means, there is a danger that the information will be intercepted at any time, but there is only one chance.
Three days later, two armies from Phoenix and Jericho were dispatched at the same time, and the two armies of Valhalla and Twilight pressed on Niru. Two days later, the armies converged, and Saul, commander-in-chief, launched a general assault on the parliamentary side. More than five divisions were put on the battlefield at one time, putting tremendous pressure on the council.
The Parliament was forced to fight the enemy on three main battlefields.
It was a battle, and Thor personally led the high-ranking powerhouses of the Hammer of Destruction into battle. At the same time, the Dawning City side is also the strongest to the fullest, high-level combat power intervened in the battlefield, and at the moment when two black horsemen and Constantine were lost on the council side, the shortage of combat power of the same level tilted the balance of the war in Thor's side.
On the battlefield, the continuous sound of guns and whistling shells played the main note of war. Bright lines of fire and explosions are all around at any moment, and death roams the vast wilderness, joyfully harvesting life under the scythe.
Under the all-out attack of the coalition forces, no matter how flexible Hart's strategy is, it will not be able to make up for the gap in strength. As the soldiers were attritional, the ables were killed, and the various battle losses skyrocketed, the parliamentary army began to retreat step by step. In Niru City, battlefield information fell like snowflakes in Hart's office, and almost every few minutes, the operations staff would report back with new information.
Hart was slightly haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair had lost its former shine.
The war had been going on for two days, and in those two days he had not closed his eyes at all. He has to deal with a huge amount of data, which has been filtered by dozens of combat staff officers, but still takes up all of his time. Hart's brain was running at a high speed like it had ever been, and new strategies were constantly being released from his office to adjust the direction of the entire campaign.
On the plasma tactical board behind Hart, the three main battlefields are all red at the highest danger level, indicating that he may lose these battlefields at any time. Once it is broken through by the enemy army, it will not take more than a day for Thor's smiling face to be seen outside Niru City. After the defeat in the Battle of Phoenix, Hart had already anticipated what would happen today.
It's just that he didn't expect that the enemy's attack would come so fiercely. In the previous 48 hours of war, Thor's many tactics were almost crazy and bold, using high-level combat power as a breakthrough point, and forcibly captured several defensive nodes of the Council at the cost of losses, thus causing the Council's defensive line to collapse several times. If Hart hadn't made timely adjustments and replaced with a slower commander, the war would have ended long ago.
It can be seen that Saul is determined to win this time. On the other hand, Hart had been asking the Council for high-level reinforcements since a few days ago. However, the request to return to the Eternal Night City has not been answered, and no news has been obtained through his family's channels. This made Hart very mad, because the lack of reinforcements from the Black Cavalry made the Council unable to compete with the enemy in terms of high-level combat power, resulting in frequent defeats in battles.
But among them, the most critical one is that there are more high-level powerhouses in Dawning City. Especially two of them were tenth-order powerhouses, judging from their various performances, these two people had already advanced to the same level. Once you successfully advance to the next level, then the threat level of Dawning City will soar by five times!
In Hart's private brain, there are still several videos sent back from the front line 24 hours ago. Among them, the girl with the giant sword and the man with the double sword are definitely the strongest men in Dawning City except for Zero. It was these two people, one of whom each took down a defensive node of the parliamentary army, which gave Hart a big headache.
When the war on the front line was in full swing, the mountain outpost behind the city of Niru seemed to be a few minutes quieter than usual. Now that the council is in full swing, the Abyssal Black Riders have long been transferred to the front line, and where will they be placed in a strategically insignificant place like a mountain outpost. Several soldiers were smoking cigarettes in the outpost, where the sound of artillery could still be faintly heard from far away.
The soldiers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and now they were much luckier to be able to stay at this outpost than those guys on the front line. Now the front line is like a slaughterer, and the soldiers have heard more or less that the war is bad for Parliament. At such times, not only will you not be able to reap the merits of war, but on the contrary, you may even lose your life.
One of the soldiers threw the extinguished cigarette butt to the ground, then picked up a telescope in the bunker as was supposed to look at the surrounding mountains and record the situation. The soldier's gaze swept over a bend in a hillside, which had been empty. But when his gaze swept back, a figure suddenly appeared there!
"Huh?" the soldier was just about to warn, but suddenly his eyes were filled with golden light.
A boiling golden wave of light washed over the outpost, wiping out the soldiers inside along with the bunker. Zero walked straight ahead, and behind him, several Mobile Lakes quickly rose into the air, clearing out the dark sentinels in the mountains with the Dusk Melting Flame. At the same time, the five Orgrimmars split into two sides and crashed into the council camp, and three minutes later, the camp that had already been mobilized back to most of its forces was bulldozed by the giants in an instant.
None of the sentries fled back.
When Zero crossed the mountains with a dozen or so elite xenos and stood on a high slope, Niru City appeared right under his nose. He used his core to give orders to the xenomorphs, and Mobirek swooped down on the city first, while the Orgrimmars roared and slid down the cliff, and two minutes later, the assault began.
Mobile Beacon directly threw it into the fourth district of Niru City with Dusk Melt Flame, and exploded the modulation centers of several biological weapons, and the flames of the explosion made the relatively calm Niru City boil. The defenders of the city began to shoot at Mobirek in the sky, but unfortunately the council had already sent all the troops to the front, and there were even fewer defenders left than usual.
This soldier was not enough to deal with Mobirek, and the black-scaled batman hovered in the air, occasionally heading towards some important places. Buildings such as chariot sheds or warehouses leave a dull melt while attracting the fire of the defenders. A bright line of fire cut through the sky, but the blazing stream always brushed Mobirek by. Occasionally, stray bullets hit them, but they were melted by the flames that swirled around these black-scaled batmen.
By the time the defenders' fire was drawn to Mobile, the Orgrimmars had already fallen to the ground, and the five-headed giants were like a ball of red flames, slamming into the walls of Niru City's first district. Even the towering dam walls of Phoenix City couldn't stop Orgrimmar's axes, not to mention that the walls of Niru City were not called iron walls, and the walls that were poured with concrete at the beginning never thought that one day they would be attacked by giants.
With their axes and hammers in unison, Orgrimmar tore down a section of the wall. Then the red-armored giants poured into the city and immediately dispersed. Moments later, explosions and destruction began to spread throughout Sector 1.
The commander of the defenders yelled and deployed several chariots to meet the giant, and now he didn't care about damaging the buildings in Sector 1, but when the chariots rushed towards the giant. Either they use brute force to overturn, or they just throw an axe at it and blast the chariot up!
The flames raged in the city, and at this time, no one noticed that Zero quietly appeared on the streets of District 1, walking straight towards the command building. In front of the building, several tanks have already been assembled. When the driver of the tank saw Zero walking straight and lowered the muzzle of the cannon, he was about to bombard, and a cloud of dusk melt exploded above the tank, and the curtain of fire directly melted the two tanks into iron juice!
The earth shook, and the two Orgrimmars rushed to the left and right. Each giant picked up a cannon tank and threw it into the air. The tank collided and exploded in mid-air, turning into two large pieces of metal and falling to the ground. Zero passed through the wreckage of the two tanks, and soldiers crawled out of them. Seeing Zero raise his gun to shoot, a scorching blade pierced his chest, and behind the soldier, a Mobile Rec landed on top of the chariot.
Hart stood in front of the window and watched it all coldly. After a few moments, there was a knock on the door outside the office. He smiled bitterly and said, "The door is not locked." Besides, even if you lock the door, it won't be difficult for you, right?"
The door was pushed open, and Zero walked in calmly: "It's rude to break in. ”
"Is what you're doing now civilized?" said Hart.
Zero smiled: "At any time, war cannot be called civilized. Alright, Mr. Hart, don't get stuck in these minutiae. I'm here to ask you to go somewhere with me. ”
"It's a pity, as a front-line commander, I'm afraid I can't pull away. Hart spread his hands and said he couldn't do anything.
Zero shook his head: "Using force is definitely not a good choice. ”
"But I want to try it!" Hart's hair stood on end, and energy flames radiated from his body, turning out four empty energy stones from the back of his hand and other places, this seemingly weak young man turned out to be a tenth-order powerhouse.
The next moment, Hart's office suddenly exploded into a canopy of flames. Like a high-powered grenade exploding, the flames destroyed everything in the office, turning desks, chairs, brains, and tactical boards into char. Flames poured out of the window, then rolled up and down, but still burned inside.
A few minutes later, the elite Rush began to retreat. Two Mobile Lakes burst into the fire in the office and came out of the window on the other side. So when the commander of the defenders arrived with his soldiers, he could barely see that each Mobirek seemed to be carrying a person. As for the office, Hart was gone, and the commander's face became extremely ugly.
By the time Hart woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed. He opened his eyes, first felt his body shaking, and then heard the wind. Then I saw the man sitting next to him, with broken blond hair and a blue stubble on his face, who looked like he hadn't shaved for several days. The man glanced at him lazily and smiled, "Are you awake?" ”
"Who are you?" Hart asked with a frown.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in front of him: "Hart, are you alright?"
"Xiuya?"
When Hart saw the face of the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but cry out, "What's going on?"
He found himself in an off-road vehicle driving along a coastal road. Judging by the light projected on the shadow of the object, now they are heading north. In other words, this is the way back to Parliament. The one who drove was zero, and the one who sat in the passenger seat was Xiuya. As for the back of the car, it was Hart and Zuo Fei.
Zuo Fei didn't know him, but Xiuya was an old acquaintance. It's just that Hart can't figure out how the First Knight got mixed up with Zero, and they are still driving in the direction of the council, so it's a little unclear why Hart wants to break his head.
"Hello, Master Hart. I'm Zuo Fei, the head of the parliamentary law enforcement team. Zuo Fei stretched out his hand.
Hart nodded and shook hands with him, then looked at Xiuya and said, "So who told me what this is all about." Major General Xiuya, and Commander Zuo Fei, are you planning to betray the council?"
"Tian Tian, on the contrary, we are saving the council. Zuo Fei took over and said.
"It's funny, being with the enemy is also saving the council?" said Hart laughed.
"That's because, Mr. Zero, with the same purpose as us, is to stop the Speaker. However, Mr. Zero's methods are quite surprising, and I didn't expect that he would use this method to invite you over. Zuo Fei said with a smile.
Zero said earlier: "Although the method is a little rough, efficiency is the most important thing." ”
"So we're going to Eternal Night now?" Hart asked again.
Zuo Fei shook his head and said, "No, let's go to the Blue Light Mountain Collar." ”
"Blue Mountain Collar?" Hart said in surprise, "You want to take me to my father?"
"Yes, I think your gift should show my sincerity. Zero said lightly.
"Gifts?" said Hart, shaking his head, "well, what are you going to do, guys? If it's something interesting, maybe I can do you a favor." ”
Zero suddenly stopped the car, turned around and said, "In that case, I'm not afraid to tell you." Master Hart, the world is slipping to the brink of destruction. And your Speaker is not willing to stop the war, if it continues like this, we will not have enough strength to fight the impending destruction, so I joined this war, and Zuo Fei and Shuya are fighting the same idea, we must both stop Oglock. ”
"Now, we want your father to join in, so we brought you over, so you understand?"
Hart looked at Zuo Fei and Xiuya, and couldn't see the slightest hint of joking on their faces, so he smiled bitterly: "It really looks like that, hey." ”
