Chapter 919: Flames of War
Obviously, in Brown's prediction, he didn't expect to encounter the Abyssal Black Rider in the mountain outpost, even if Zero had already revealed the secret power of the Dark Council to all the high-ranking personnel after returning to Dawn City. It's another thing to know if you know it, but it's another thing to touch it, the Abyss Black Rider also has the power of the tenth order at the most, and that is definitely not something that Brown can match as an eighth-order heavy artillery master.
At the first glance of the Black Rider, Brown knew that his actions were like a headlong collision with the iron plate.
"Hey, the young master of the Augustus family has a hunch that is right, you despicable bastards plan to attack the outpost while trading, but unfortunately, you all have to die here now. The black rider wiped the single knife with silver lines on a black background, and the blade had a misty glow like smoke.
He swung his wrist and slashed at Brown with a single sword. The tip of the knife pulls out wisps of lingering black light trails in the air, interlacing a set of intricate patterns. Considering that the power of the tenth order of the black horse is not enough to break through the space, then these black lights are not the light of the spatial rift, but they also belong to some special abilities. Brown really used his body to try the ability of a tenth-order powerhouse, so he bounced off the ground, turned around and ran, but it was clean.
The black rider smiled lightly, and thousands of sword lights suddenly turned into a flash of lightning. The tip of the knife trembled slightly, spewing out wisps of energy and light that intertwined like a cocoon, and it was impossible to tell whether he was carrying the knife with a human or pulling him with a single knife. The man and the knife became an inseparable whole, rumbling after Brown like a meteor.
There was a sudden strange change in the space, as if an invisible force was squeezing towards it from all directions. Brown secretly complained that the man seemed to be confined to one point, thus creating a huge pressure to limit himself. Under such circumstances, there was no way he could break away from the black rider and his body!
A small hand suddenly stepped in.
It is white and tender, and its skin is crystal clear, delicate like a small flower. The hand reached out to the black knight's blade, and when it was about to be broken into pieces in the next moment, the five fingers of this palm were folded together and slammed into the side of the blade. Circles of light immediately appeared on the single knife of the black rider, and the space seemed to be cracked, and the light patterns suddenly spread outward to five meters, and the places affected, whether it was a hard rock or a human body, were shocked and shattered!
The light cocoon on the black rider's blade splashed with lightning, and the knife sank downward, unable to stab out again. The gaze retracted from Brown's body, and stayed on a youthful and beautiful face, the girl with short blond hair exuded an ostentatious aura, knowing that it was an enemy, the black knight's heart still couldn't help but sway slightly. The sunlight carried by the woman's body was so brilliant that he couldn't shift the light even a little, even if it was only an inch away.
"Hevi!" Brown exhaled, patted his chest and said, "If you come a few seconds late, Lao Tzu will hang." ”
"Uncle is not alive and well now. Hyvi winked at Brown, then turned her head and closed her eyes. When he opened it again, his eyes turned into a bottomless galaxy, and he took the soul of the black rider into it. In the endless starry sky, you can see the magnificence of the falling stars, and the power of the infinite hidden behind the beautiful scenery.
Four star-like empty energy stones turned out of the girl's body, if only that punch was just a corner of the sea surface, then at this moment, it was the roar of the angry sea, pulling up a sea wall!
The wall of the sea smashed head-on at the Black Rider.
When that small fist continued to expand in his eyes, the black rider realized that it was not a young beautiful girl in front of him, but a tenth-order powerhouse who could kill people with one punch!
The long knife bounced up, glowing with flames, and it slashed down at Haiwei's fist in succession. The seemingly delicate fist was as hard as meteoric iron, even if it gave the black rider a few swords, it was just a burst of sparks, but the fist momentum never stopped or even changed. The black rider smiled bitterly in his heart, he suffered a loss because of Haiwei's appearance before, so that he was inattentive, so he would let Haiwei take the lead like now.
It is also a tenth-order, and to regain the upper hand from the downside, it requires strength, skill, and strategy to cooperate with various levels of ability, but it is not as easy and simple as dealing with Brown. At this time, Haiwei, who had seized the opportunity, let go of her wild attack, and her petite body contained amazing explosive power. She has no weapons, but any part of her body can be used as a weapon.
Aside from her fists and feet, even if she let Haiwei's fragrant shoulders lean, even the hard rock will crack piece by piece!
The black knight's knife and Haiwei's fists and feet exchanged for an unknown number of times in a short instant, and the bursting sparks and energy jets made the space within the ten meters where they fought a peerless field. Brown walked far around the battlefield of the two strong men, signaling the other soldiers to retreat. Today, with the Abyss Black Rider present, even if there are tenth-order powerhouses in the same place, it is difficult to get any benefits.
Moreover, war is not something that can be decided by one place and one game, and Brown does not want to let his soldiers lose to meaningless attrition. Therefore, when Haiwei set up the black horseman, the martial samurai and the blade hunter were broken, the army of Dawning City withdrew in an orderly manner, and finally even the biological weapons were withdrawn, Haiwei's body stopped. The little mouth inhaled deeply, then exhaled again, resting his weight on his right shoulder and leaning against the black rider.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake!
The invisible, tangible fluctuations spread throughout the sentinel camp in the form of shocks, and the fallen and fallen barracks stone houses were like giants picking up and throwing them back and forth several times, all of them turned into piles of loose sand. At the feet of Black Rider and Haiwei, the ground was full of mud and sand, and hundreds of cracks spread out in a dense and complex manner, spreading a distance of nearly ten meters, shattering and raising thick smoke.
The black rider's blade was light, and he snorted, taking advantage of the sword light, but he couldn't cut anything in the smoke and dust. It was only when the knife wind blew away the smoke that Haiwei found that Haiwei had already ridden away from the dust. Looking at the back, the barracks collapsed, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Colonel of the Blood Cavalry was seriously wounded. Although the battle in this outpost was not lost, it made the black knight's face gloomy.
After all, behind each of their black riders is a mountain of materials. And if you change it to numbers, it is enough to feed an army of tens of thousands of people. Every black rider is proud, and their pride must be embellished with the blood of their enemies. In this battle of the sentinel, he can't leave the enemy's strong man, which is undoubtedly throwing his pride on the ground and trampling!
Black Rider's face was slightly distorted, and Haiwei's youthful and flamboyant face flashed in his mind. He hated that if he had the chance, he would tear the sunlight off the girl's body to shreds. Let her understand that there is no need for light in this era, only darkness and eternal life!
Today's attack was quite unsuccessful, not only did Brown's team return in vain, but the team led by Yeliu also did not win. Hart also secretly dropped the black horses at another outpost, but the difference was that there were two of them at that outpost! Fortunately, it was Yeliu who hit the iron plate, and with the sensitive touch of a high-level night dancer, Yeliu was the first to sense the danger and let the army evacuate, and then one person blocked two black horsemen alone, so as to avoid the result of the total annihilation of the army.
If it is changed to Brown's team, I am afraid that even if there is Haiwei to press the field, it will be more than lucky.
Since the return of the Black Earth, Yeliu and Haiwei have devoted themselves to the training of the advancement. By the time Zero decided to join the war, Haiwei had already advanced to the tenth order, and Yeliu was not far from the eleventh order, and the strength of these two girls had greatly increased. But sometimes, strength and personality are two different things, in terms of Haiwei's temperament, first of all, she doesn't have the meticulous nature of Yeliu, otherwise she wouldn't wait for Brown to kill a fart before interfering in the battle with the Black Knight.
Regardless of success or failure, time continues to move forward, and the cycle of day and night is still alternating.
The next day, Zero walked out of a two-story building that Morgan had arranged for him. In fact, General Morgan had originally invited him to live in the City Lord's Mansion, but Zero refused. He picked the small building, located on the edge of Phoenix, near the command building. Xiaolou was originally owned by an officer in Phoenix, but after the Augustus family took over Phoenix, the city's original military headquarters changed seriously, and some officers chose to leave.
The owner of this small building is one of them.
The two-storey building, with its gray and simple exterior walls, no place is worthy of zero status in terms of usable area or interior decoration. Zero didn't mind this, after all, it was a tradition of an old family like Augustus, and he, like many of the emerging aristocratic classes, was more practical and efficient.
The damaged walls are being rebuilt, the turrets and machine guns blown up by Mobile Lake are being rereplenished, and the staggered fortifications are being built outside the city, and it is the soldiers of the Parliament who are taking on the heavy lifting of the heavy lifting. As Zero had told Rhine before, he was short of workers, and these demotions were the perfect candidates. He doesn't even have to pay for it, he just has three meals.
In his plan, Phoenix has enough conditions to become a forward base and a fulcrum based on the war along the coastline. In doing so, he will expand his power and eventually flank the Valhalla forces and push the council forces into a corner.
War always pushes people to the limit of adaptability, so Phoenix has changed hands twice, but the city's inhabitants have been unaffected. Zero tried not to affect the lives and work of these people, in exchange for the peace of the city and a group of workers who continued to produce living materials. Previously, due to the positioning of the city by the Augustus family, it was determined that the arsenal in Phoenix City lacked the resources to produce war resources, and this will soon be supplemented under the planning of Zero and General Morgan.
By that time, Phoenix was a relatively well-established forward base.
When Zero walked into the command building, he met George, an old acquaintance of the officer, who was also a soldier who had been thrown out by the council. After getting Hart's approval to be reactivated, Zero called a few days later, which took George two days to adjust. Seeing Zero, George greeted him and said, "Damn, is there anything I can do to help? You know, I'm going to get sick." ”
"That's a lot, like the internal policing of the city, and maybe a well-known sheriff would be more reassuring to them than we were fresh. Zero said with a frown.
George nodded, "I've got some good guys, and they can do this." ”
"Then let it go. Zero patted him on the shoulder and said.
"I'd love to have a drink with you, but it looks like you're not free. George said.
Zero shrugged: "I probably don't have time until I get rid of the council." ”
"Then we'll have a drink together when you're free. George laughed, "I'm going to call those boys, they'll be happy to do the job." ”
After the new sheriff left, Zero arrived in the conference room according to the schedule set yesterday. In the conference room, all the people in charge who participated in the attack on the mountain sentinel yesterday were all present, Yeliu and Haiwei looked as usual, and Brown's face was a little sullen. Zero smiled and slapped the big man and said: "How can there always be a winner in a war, as long as you don't lose in some important battles, don't take it too seriously about winning or losing for a while." ”
Hearing him say this, Brown's face became better, and he scratched his head and said, "I'm just unwilling, I see that it's about to be done, who knows that I will kill the black horse." ”
"Hart is not an easy opponent, and if he is so easy to pinch, Thor wouldn't have to be here to dwell on him for so long. Zero pulled over the plasma tactical board, which was still a map of the mountain outposts, on which he connected several sentinels with a line, and said, "Look, the defense between these sentinels is not outstanding, but the Abyss Black Rider is a complete thing." You should be glad that those who attacked yesterday also included Yeliu and Haiwei. If there is a lack of warriors who can match the black knights, then in any outpost camp, as long as they eat the attacking team, they can outflank and kill everyone. I think that's what Hart intended, but just like we didn't expect him to drop three black riders in one place, Hart didn't expect that our sneak attackers had strong enough men to compete with them. ”
"So yesterday's battle, it was just a no-brainer. But one thing is for sure, Hart can't keep a valuable force like the Abyssal Black Riders in a mountain outpost all the time, and I don't think the Council has enough resources to provide Hart with more Black Knights. So, he has one more at most. After yesterday's battle, those three black riders should have been reinforced. ”
Brown slapped the table: "Then let's continue to attack their sentinel in the afternoon." ”
"No, there's no point in attacking now. If I were Hart, instead of spreading our resources to deal with both us and Valhalla, we would be able to do our best and crush one side first with thunder. Zero smiled, "So soon, we'll have a big fight." ”
"Hart will definitely pick on us, because our foundation is still too thin compared to Valhalla, so it will be easier to pinch. Zero concluded: "In the next few days, the soldiers will not be able to come out. Intensify the construction of fortifications outside the city, as well as the setting of firing points. I will be away for 48 hours, not during this period, General Morgan will manage the internal affairs, Brown you will preside over the army, and if a strong man attacks, let Feng and Su go to greet him. ”
Brown hesitated, "Can old man Morgan believe it?"
"It's not a question of whether you can believe it or not, brother. Zero said indifferently: "It's that he doesn't have a choice." ”
In the afternoon, Zero leaves the city with Drake and Ogmar, and no one knows where they have gone. The next morning, some of the armies of the Dark Council and Valhalla were fighting in a wilderness, when suddenly Zero intervened with these two high-level xenomorphs, led by Zero, and the alien army stabbed into the soft underbelly of the Dark Council like a sharp knife.
Because of the lack of high-level towns, coupled with the fierceness of Zero's two high-level xenomorphs, the council's army was powerless to stop them, allowing Zero to dig back and forth with the xenomorphs, and the council army immediately collapsed. After Zero ate nearly half of their troops, he left them behind and continued deep into the war zone. At the end of the day, he went to the battlefield in three places in a row, killing the council troops with fear, so that the commanders of the various theaters asked the headquarters of Niru City to send black horses.
Otherwise, there was simply no army in the theater that could resist the chiseling tactics of an eleventh-order powerhouse.
At this moment, in the command building of Niru City, Hart is staying in the war room by himself. He drank red wine elegantly, and the tactical board in front of him calculated the latest battle situation in each theater in real time. Three of the main war zones are showing red signals, which means that the armies in these three districts are no longer organized, and it is more likely that Valhalla has been defeated.
Looking at the entire tactical board, there are not a few red zones, and there are fewer and fewer war zones with absolute superiority in council battles. Hart looked calm and did not lash out at the defeat in the battle.
Calmness is always a quality that a good commander must have.
Intelligence was constantly rolling through Hart's private mind like snowflakes, and from the information gathered from the various war zones, it appeared that Valhalla was going all out to attack in conjunction with the operation of Dawn, which increased the pressure on the council. Although Eternal Night City has transferred four Abyssal Black Knights, there are still only a limited number of tenth-order powerhouses who can suppress the council. In several major war zones, the top powerhouses of Augustus have entered the war, and this ancient family is beginning to show its depths.
However, this is not a good thing for either Leo or Hart, after all, these top powerhouses are limited in number, and they are the family's secret weapon, and it is precisely one death and one less. If it weren't for Valhalla's full pressing, Leo would not be willing to invest in these top-level combat powers. In contrast, Speaker O'Gellock's recent war resources have obviously shrunk, as can be seen from the fact that the eight Abyssal Black Riders that Hart originally applied for have shrunk by half.
What is Oglock himself planning?
Hart shook his head, that wasn't something he could care about, and it would be better to leave it to his father, Leo. What he has to do is to continue this war with the resources at hand and the most perfect strategy.
I took the wisdom brain, and a few photos were transmitted on it, which were photos of Zero rushing to the battlefield with high-level xenomorphs. In the photo, the empty energy stone flame on Zero's body is dazzling. He was alone, and the brilliance of the light that overflowed overpowered the entire battlefield! Under that brilliant light, the shadow could not be contained at all, and looking at the zero in the photo, Hart slammed his fist on the table.
He looked up, his eyes hardened, as if he had made some kind of decision.
