Chapter 48 The Truth(1/2)
There is a big difference between Shenglun City and Raging Wave City after dark.
The citizens of Nutao City are very willing to enjoy a period of nightlife after work, so Nutao City will be lively for a long time at night, and some entertainment venues stay open all night long.
St. Lun City used to have a strict curfew, and ordinary citizens were not allowed to go out casually after ten o'clock in the evening. Although the curfew is now relaxed, most St. Lun City citizens who are accustomed to going home at night will not do much outside.
stay.
A lonely streetlight illuminated the quiet street. Only a few windows of the houses on both sides were still lit. From time to time, wandering night crows made sounds. Suddenly, the sound of a truck engine disturbed the quiet night, and heavy wheels pressed against the street.
There was a rhythmic sound on the stone road.
The fierce dogs barked.
Many citizens were awakened. They opened their windows and looked outside, and saw military trucks carrying heavily armed city garrison soldiers speeding past.
Something big happened!
The panicked citizens immediately closed their windows and turned off all the lights.
There was no warning, no notification to anyone... Near the early morning, a city garrison suddenly entered the city and blocked and controlled some streets and urban areas.
The City Public Security Department was the first to respond, but before they could send anyone to inquire, the garrison first came up with the order from the eldest prince.
"General Sinclair Augustine is leading the army to cooperate with the Secret Intelligence Service's Special Agent Six to eliminate enemy spies lurking in the imperial capital. Please fully cooperate with the City Public Security Department!"
The City Public Security Department immediately mobilized the Sheriff to assist.
The freed-up city garrison concentrated its forces and completed the blockade and siege of all targets. The house of the grain merchant Alston was surrounded by a tight siege.
Heavy war machinery stood at the front, and technical soldiers quickly assembled golems for the charge. Some magicians released buffs for the soldiers preparing to attack, providing them with mental protection, while some magicians prepared the spells needed for the attack.
Five airships hovered in the sky, and high-power searchlights shot down beams of light to scan the entire building area. Under the pod of the airship, elite soldiers wearing gliding suits were suspended by dozens of meters of traction ropes. They could fly within the flight range at any time.
Airborne combat anywhere within.
Sinkelai, who commanded the garrison, stood in front of the outer door of the building. He was wearing a suit of metal light armor and a general's metal military cap, and he was holding a beautifully forged broadsword in his hand.
Xin Ke came and waited for his soldiers to prepare for battle.
A soldier squeezed from the rear guard to the front and whispered to Xinkelai: "Your Highness, Miss Qingkong is here with five Oulu mages."
Xin Kelai said happily: "Please invite Miss Qingkong over quickly!"
After a while, Qingkong arrived with five Oulu mages. Except for Qingkong, who was wearing her characteristic battle attire, the other five Oulu mages were all wearing magic robes and wide-brimmed hoods to cover their appearance.
When Xin Ke came to see Qingkong, he immediately performed a knight's salute: "Thank you Miss Qingkong and the Oulu mages for their support, which will save us some sacrifices."
"The origin of the Abyss Temple and the Oulu Academy. It is the duty of every Oulu mage to eliminate the Abyss Mage. Your Highness, Sinkelai, are you and your soldiers ready?"
Qingkong said humbly while observing the current situation.
The grain merchant Alston's house occupies a large area. The main building is surrounded by open lawns and gardens, and is surrounded by an iron fence. Faced with the siege of the city garrison, the people in the room did not react at all. They extinguished the fire.
All the light sources inside are waiting for attack.
Xin Kelai's army has completed preparations for the attack.
The type and level of the city garrison can be seen from the clothing and equipment. Officers and soldiers with obvious physical characteristics or wearing high-grade armor are elites with a certain degree of force.
Sinkel came to take a look at the army he brought with him. He was very satisfied with the Saint-Lun City Guards, which was composed of veterans of the Northern Legion.
Then take out your pocket watch and check the time.
"Miss Qingkong, my army has completed preparations for war, and the time agreed with the Governor of Meteor Star has come... we can attack!"
Qingkong looked back and saw that he had brought Master Oulu with him. His eyes paused on the two people who were obviously women, and said to Xinque: "Let's attack! Leave the Abyss Apostle Maurice to us."
"He is yours!" Xin Kelai showed Qingkong a smile that he thought was very handsome, and then waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army obeys the order! Encircle and suppress the Abyss Temple...attack!"
Several magic signals were launched into the sky, and the airships high in the sky also sent out attack signals. Soon, the sky of Shenglun City was filled with magic signals flying around and exploding into gorgeous fireworks.
The attack order was given, and the magicians accompanying the army took the lead in releasing the prepared magic. Dark clouds quickly formed within the building, rain poured down, and then thunder struck down from the sky.
The magicians accompanying the army did not target the main building as the primary target of their attack, but controlled the lightning to form a thunder net that swept across the gardens around the main building.
The rainwater that fell to the ground sent electricity flowing wildly on the ground, and one magic trap after another was detonated and exploded.
The firepower clearance is completed and the power grid is closed to the main building.
Under the control of the driver, the heavy war machinery walked towards the main building carrying thick shields. The iron fences in front of them were bent and broken like noodles.
The following soldiers formed a line and followed behind the tall body of the war machine.
The entire offensive coordination was smooth, and everyone did what they should do in their own position, showing extremely high military quality.
The outer magic traps were completely destroyed, and the war machinery successfully approached the main building. The abyss mage hiding inside could not help but launch an attack on the imperial soldiers.
Those closed windows opened, and countless monsters made of flesh and blood crawled out from inside. Each of them looked ferocious, like the mutated zombies in Resident Evil.
These monsters twisted and crawled towards the imperial soldiers, and then magic fireballs and crossbow bolts were shot from the windows, and muskets crackled.
The tall war machine held its shield above its head to protect the driver and provide cover for the soldiers behind it. The imperial soldiers pushed the mechanical golem beside them to their sides, used the golem to attract the monster's attack, and then drew their swords to look for opportunities.
Kill monsters.
The attacking team continues to advance.
At this time, the soil on the ground rolled up, and a huge earthworm with a diameter of two meters came out of the ground and swallowed an imperial soldier in one bite. Then the giant earthworm twisted its body and crushed it, knocking out a soldier in the neat line.
At the breach, the fearless monster broke through, and a commando team of imperial soldiers immediately fell into a fierce battle.
Xin Kelai, who was standing on the periphery, waved his hand, and a small team composed of elite soldiers rushed in. These soldiers cooperated well and had extremely rich combat experience. They quickly gained the upper hand in the face of monsters with only killing instincts.
The giant earthworm was chopped into two pieces by a soldier. The two pieces of earthworm regenerated heads and tails and continued to attack, but were quickly divided into irregenerable pieces under the attack of the elite team.
The abyss mage's counterattack did not cause too many casualties to the imperial soldiers. The war machinery led the team to rush under the wall of the main building, and professional soldiers stepped forward to prepare for blasting.
A steam airship sailed directly above the main building, and more than ten cylindrical objects were thrown down from the pod. The flying elite soldiers released the ropes tied to their bodies and swooped down.
The column broke through the roof of the main building, leaving a hole for people to enter; the outer wall was blasted, and imperial soldiers with weapons rushed in; the airborne imperial soldiers landed on the roof and followed the opened hole.
Invade.
A fierce battle broke out inside the main building.
Sink came to check the time and was very satisfied with the speed of his army's attack. He asked the follow-up soldiers to follow up, and then said to Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, are you going in now, or are you waiting for my soldiers to find the entrance to the underground altar?"
"Go in now! I can feel the smell of the abyss here getting stronger and stronger. The abyss mage must be preparing a large-scale secret technique. If released, this entire city will be destroyed."
Qingkong led the Oulu mages toward the battlefield.
Xin Kelai followed up with a team of elite soldiers. He threw out a sword light and cut a sneak attack monster into two pieces. He then said diligently: "Miss Qingkong, don't worry about dealing with Morris. Leave the other miscellaneous soldiers to me."
.”
Sunny passed through the damaged garden and entered the main building, as if entering another world.
The inner wall of the building is covered with bulges that look like blood vessels, and black liquid can be seen flowing inside. Sarcomas will grow where the blood vessels converge, and when the sarcomas explode, a monster will emerge from it.
The monster spawned very quickly, and the attacking imperial soldiers were locked in a bitter battle with this monster.
Qingkong summoned a mental magic ball, and the mental magic weapon fired fireballs like a turret with unlimited firepower, burning all monsters and fleshy tumors within the attack range.
The Oulu mages also released magic to help the trapped imperial soldiers.
Qingkong said to Xin Kelai who followed him: "Take your people and guard here, don't let these monsters escape. Let's go find Maurice. Only by killing him and destroying the altar can we stop these monsters from growing up.
Be careful that there are abyss mages hiding inside in the form of monsters, they can rely on these veins to move and attack quickly."
Xin Kelai asked in surprise: "The Abyss Mage will turn into such a monster."
These monsters made of flesh and blood almost have no human appearance. Who would turn themselves into this?
Qingkong raised his hand and shot out an ice pick, nailing a monster to the wall. The monster did not turn into blood and be absorbed by blood vessels after death like other monsters. Instead, after struggling for a few times, its limbs became limp.
"This is the impact of the abyss on a person. They have already become like this before they face the abyss directly, and those who face the abyss will give up everything as a human being."
Xinkelai knew that Qingkong was hinting at Emperor Augustine, and he immediately became serious: "Miss Qingkong, don't worry...just leave this to me."
"Work hard and I won't keep you waiting too long."
Qingkong led the Oulu mages deep into the main building, where there were imperial soldiers fighting with monsters everywhere.
They killed the monsters casually and arrived at the middle room as if they were in an uninhabited land.
This is a square room with no disgusting blood vessels on the walls, no monsters, and naturally no soldiers.
"Jennifer, close the door."
Jennifer lifted her hood, turned around and closed the door.
Everyone else also lifted the hoods on their heads.
The four people are Bruce Ban, Princess Dale, Princess Agatha and Agatha's maid.
Qingkong asked Princess Dai'er: "Have you seen anyone familiar?"
Dai'er's face was very solemn, as if she didn't want to believe the facts she discovered. In the end, she nodded and said: "I saw the people who attacked me inside. Although I didn't see their appearance at the time, they were revealed when they retreated.
Many features.
Brother Fania...how could he..."
The cruel reality dealt a huge blow to Dai'er. She never imagined that it was her brother who wanted to kill her in order to harm his other sister.
To be continued...
