War Lord

Chapter 686: Mirror of both sides

The hall where the quarterly summary meeting had just been held was again full of people. Several cardinals and civilian officials stood in a row. Opposite them were the officers of the Knights. Sauron was still sitting in his seat, unlike the last meeting, this time the Pope was also sitting next to Sauron. It's just that the young pope's face yawned again and again, as if he was not interested in such a meeting.

A light screen appeared above the hall, and a video was playing on the light screen. Looking at the picture in the video, everyone in the entire hall looked ugly, perhaps the Pope was an exception. The image was transmitted back by Thunder using a small function in the Knights of the Round Table system. Of course, what was returned was not a real-time image. Canon has been captured, and news has spread to Rome.

Now some important figures in the city of Rome have gathered together, watching the images in the light screen faithfully record the process of Canon's fall. During this process, the important officials in these halls witnessed with their own eyes how the fortress, which is known to not fall into the iron wall, became fragmented under the invaders' tough methods, especially the section where the city gate was broken, which was simply shocking.

The female swordsman who broke the city with that sword was not in any record of the Western Continent, and the brilliance that she showed with the naked eye showed that it was a high-level ability person, and it was at the level of Sauron. The attitude of one person breaking through the Paladin’s mech defense line was deeply reflected in everyone’s eyes, and the subsequent electromagnetic bomb made the officials and officers in the hall exclaimed. They recognized that it was Istar targeting the knight’s mecha. Special weapons developed.

But Zero is not from Istar.

Coupled with the description of the female swordsman and the survivor of the previous roaring bay shot, everyone can be sure that people from other continents have come here. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Western Continent to jump out of so many high-levels out of thin air. This news is even more shocking than the fall of Canon Fortress.

You must know that after the cataclysm, communication between continents has become very difficult, even impassable. If people from other continents come now, does it mean that the continent where these outsiders are already has long-range navigation methods? If this conjecture is true, it means that the era will enter a new page.

Of course, this will not be a pleasant thing. At the time when resources are scarce, long-distance voyages will only be used for outward aggression, not for the delivery of friendly olive branches.

Looking at the image on the light screen again, it is almost over. Under the image capture of the Knights of the Round Table, everyone can clearly see zero and one person fighting against the Knights of the Round Table, and the latter is still in a state of being suppressed. Soon, with the screen turbulence, all the images finally ended.

The light screen rises.

The atmosphere in the hall is depressed, and everyone's faces are gray. This powerful invader was able to fight against the Knights of the Round Table with one person, and also destroyed the third generation of mechas. This fact is as heavy as a mountain, and it makes people unable to think normally. Especially for Dr. Jane, the destruction of the mecha can only prove his incompetence. After all, when it was developed, he praised Haikou, claiming to be able to match high-level powerhouses.

But judging from the fact that the Knights of the Round Table and the intruder were destroyed in less than 3 minutes in the video, Dr. Jane's words were simply slapped. His face was hot and his head was buried very low. Even though the officials in the hall are now attracted by the images, the doctor feels their contemptuous gazes behind their backs.

Canon was captured, and fewer than five hundred soldiers escaped. The Pope’s Hall lost a fortress, two captains, thousands of soldiers, and several important mineral deposits. Whether it is dignity or economy, this is a heavy blow. The Pope’s Hall was like a giant, but now he was bent over with a punch. If the color is not returned immediately, then the cornerstone of the Pope’s Hall will be challenged like never before.

Sauron was unexpectedly not angry.

He is as deep as water, and he is totally different in peacetime. And those who knew him, such as the guard leader, knew that he was the real Sauron at this time. That irritability and capriciousness were nothing but an illusion created by Sauron to confuse his enemies. The real he is deep and good at calculation. Otherwise, how can a tyrant sit on the throne for thirty years? It is not only Istar who wants to overthrow Sauron, but Sauron's throne has never been shaken.

Until now, the throne seemed to sway because of the fall of Canon.

"Everyone, everyone has finished watching this video. Has anyone told what these intruders will do next? How do we respond?" Sauron's cold voice sounded, but under the cold, there was hidden As hot as magma.

After this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some say that the invaders will rob them and walk away. After all, everyone knows that the Pope’s Hall will not let them go. And no matter how strong they are, they can't fight against the entire city of Rome. Some said that they were interested in the three oil well platforms under the control of the fortress. After all, for this era, these platforms are more precious than gold mines.

The opinions were divergent for a while, and it was not until Sauron reached out his hand that they calmed down. Sauron glanced across the crowd. Basically the bishops and civilian officials discussed aloud just now, as well as a handful of officers on the side of the Knights. As for the two army commanders in the list, they were silent. The two army commanders were Leo from the 2nd Army and Frank from the 9th Army.

Both legions were stationed in two important cities not far from Rome, and now Sauron was called back urgently. In just over a month, Mr. Knights lost four legion chiefs. In the history of the city of Rome, perhaps only that dark period had such a tragic event happened.

Sauron's gaze fell on Leo. This legion commander was about the same age as Sauron, and like Caromon, he was also a veteran who had come from the dark age. Now his hair was gray, but the murderous spirit on the stern head was not less than that of the past. Leo is a high-level capable person of the fire system, his command style is also the same as his ability, and he believes in aggression like fire.

Seeing Sauron looking at him, Leo knew it, and said, "My lord, I think the real purpose of the invaders is to build Canon into a stronghold. A stronghold to confront us!"

As soon as Leo’s words came out, someone jumped out and retorted: "Captain Leo, do you think that these invaders alone will have the strength to fight our entire city of Rome? We have also established strongholds and our army has waved, isn’t it? Raze them on the spot?"

Leo didn't even look at it, and hummed: "The fortress is 8,000 kilometers away from us. Judging from the strength of their performance, it takes at least three or even more than four knights to wipe them out. At present, we have only 8 knights with a complete organization. The first branch needs to guard the city of Rome, and the 4th and 11th legions are stationed at Faceiro. The remaining legions also have their own guardianships. To be honest, we can draw out four. The Legion has come very reluctantly."

"What's more, it takes time for the four legions to mobilize, assemble, and even deploy materials and logistics teams. After we assemble our forces and go to Canon 8,000 kilometers away, it will take less than a month in the meantime. One month is enough for them to build. Build the most basic fortifications and prepare to fight us. The most critical question here is that if they just want to pretend to be looting materials, I believe it is more convenient to grab Faceiro or other places. Why are they alone? Want to pick Canon to start?" Leo raised his head and looked at Sauron, but said as if to other officials: "Don’t forget, where is Canon’s position? Yes, it’s at the end of the **** road. , Facing the city of Rome far away. This is an obvious provocation!"

Leo's words were irrefutable, and the officials who had jumped out to interrupt before had honestly returned to their positions. Sauron nodded, obviously agreeing with Leo's words, and he said solemnly: "Captain Leo, if you lead and give you another month to prepare, are you sure to pull the intruder from Canon?"

Leo took a deep look at Sauron, then smiled bitterly: "There is only a 50% certainty."

Suddenly everyone was in an uproar.

Sauron raised his hand and asked after suppressing his voice: "Why? Isn't the four legions enough to smooth a small fortress?"

"Theoretically, it is enough, but based on the data of the two battles before and after, the invaders have a group of high-level capable people. There are two ninth-tier powerhouses we know now, and so are you, Lord Sauron. Tier Nine, you should understand that Tier Nine’s destructive power is not in the same order of magnitude as Tier 8. Our most fatal problem is that there are too few high-level and even Tier Nine powers." Leo pondered for a while, then said: "If Lord Sauron is willing to participate in the war, then the probability of success can be increased to 70%."

The reason why it is still not a 100% winning rate, in the final analysis, is the reason for the lack of high-level abilities. And Sauron couldn't have participated in the war so hastily, he was the only Tier 9 in Rome. And this battle is not like Istar's battle, Istar's Sauron was fully prepared, and relying on the convenience of a sneak attack, was able to pick out the entire Istar in one fell swoop.

But even so, he dropped a King Arthur. You must know that as an upgraded version of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur himself is also equivalent to a Tier Nine.

Now, Sauron can't easily participate. In this head-on battle, even a veteran like Leo admitted frankly that there is no one hundred percent chance of winning. If he goes to war or loses, even if he escapes successfully, the entire city of Rome will be divided and collapsed. A defeated Sauron, even if he was still capable, couldn't suppress the voice below.

The throne of Rome is actually not easy to sit on, Sauron is like sitting on the crater of the volcano. What suppresses the magma below is his strength and his undefeated reputation. From this, it can be seen that the presence of these people poses a threat to him, no one can describe it too much.

At this moment, there was a voice in Sauron's mind without warning: "Come to see me in the palace, and bring the image data just now."

Sauron suddenly shrank his pupils, and in the eyes of the pope, he inadvertently squeezed the handrail. As a result, the metal handrail was completely deformed, leaving a deep fingerprint on it. Sauron was inexplicably horrified, the voice just now belonged to the silver-haired demon Gaia. It was the first time that he directly imprinted the voice in Sauron's mind. It looked like a means of a high-level perceptual ability, but how difficult it is to clearly convey the voice to a high-level, but Gaia But it was easy to do.

Does this mean that it is easy for him to kill himself.

Sauron felt a trembling from the depths of his soul. Compared with Gaia, the threat posed by the invaders was already less noticeable. It's just that Sauron didn't understand why Gaia was suddenly interested in the image data just now. Is there something important in it, but he ignored it.

The memory of high-level abilities is amazing, and Sauron is no exception. He quickly replayed the image in his mind several times in a fast-forward manner, and the process even only took a few seconds. But Sauron didn't see anything that needed special attention until Zero's face swept across the image. Sauron caught something and froze the image instantly, so the deformed metal armrest almost pulled Sauron down from above!

Everyone in the hall looked at Sauron, wondering why this adult was suddenly so gaffe. Sauron ignored their feelings, stood up and said anxiously: "The meeting is over for the time being, we will discuss it tomorrow, and the meeting will be adjourned!"

After that, take Wesel and leave from the side door of the hall.

Sauron's heart was full of turbulent waves, and he knew why Gaia would suddenly ask for the information. That intruder, his face was somewhat similar to Gaia. The difference is that the intruder is black-haired and Gaia is silver-haired. The former has a golden right eye, and the latter obviously has the same pupil on the left eye.

These two people are like two sides of a mirror. One black and one white, one right and one left!

In a shocked mood, Sauron came to the gate of the palace. He took a deep breath, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and then opened the door with his hand. The door was filled with dimness, and the light seemed to be refracting something here, so the whole palace looked so gloomy and terrible. Sauron knew that Gaia had woken up, and the entire palace had become a den of some kind of evil beast.

Sauron stepped into the lair and felt absolutely unhappy. The door behind him was gently concealed by the invisible force. When those invisible and intangible force fields passed by Sauron, he felt depressed and his body felt heavy. This palace is flooded with Gaia's realm, and here is his home court. Sauron also has domains. When domains and domains cover each other, they will naturally repel.

Two domains of different nature will compete for space, and various rules of understanding are used to fight. The more rules and the higher the level, the greater the chance of defeating the opponent's field. In the unknown realm of Gaia, there are several rules just what Sauron felt. God knows what secrets there are.

He didn't dare to explore, for fear of causing Gaia's reaction.

When this thought was born, Sauron shuddered suddenly. He found that he had become timid, no longer the courage and courage of his youth. At that time, Sauron was facing as much pressure as Gaia, but Sauron desperately fought for it at that time, and even got everything in exchange for it today. Today, however, only one Gaia made him succumb.

Suddenly, Sauron knew that he could not get rid of Gaia. The mood suddenly fell to the extreme, and the darkness in front of him separated like water to the two sides, so Sauron saw Gaia.

The silver-haired man had opened his eyes, and there was a smile on his handsome face. This smile is perfect from any angle, but it gives Sauron a very unreal feeling, like a human smile simulated by some intelligence. After staring for a long time, it gives birth to a gloomy feeling. .

I don't know what exactly is wrapped under this man's human coat?

"Play that video again." Gaia said softly.

Sauron said "as you wish", then flipped his hand and took out a tablet brain, then played the image transmitted by thunder and handed it to Gaia.

After reading it soon, Gaia put down the tablet brain and leaned forward to Sauron and said, "Go, bring this man. His priority is higher than Franklin. As long as he gets him, Franklin will be of no importance."

Sauron made no secret of the surprise on his face, he was speechless for a while. From the similar faces of the invader and Guyana, Sauron could already guess the importance of this person to Gaia. Unexpectedly, his importance was still higher than Franklin. Doesn't this mean that the man is more important than the life form of the last era?

After finally clearing up his mood, Sauron lowered his head and said, "Master Gaia, I am happy to execute such an order. What is shocking is that there are too many high-level powerhouses in this man’s camp, no matter what my legion is. It is also very difficult to gather the power that can check and balance them, let alone suppress or even defeat them."

Gaia looked at Sauron with interest and said, "What do you mean?"

Suolong's heart beat hard, raised his head, and said with incomparably hot eyes: "In fact, as long as Master Gaia is willing to fight, this man is not caught casually. With the invincible power of adults, this is just a small matter."

"Oh, it seems so." Gaia sat up straight ~lightnovelpub.net~ and said lazily: "Put away your little abacus, Sauron. Last time I helped you get rid of a few old men. Guy, I haven't settled with you yet. Now I want me to cut off the enemy for you. I think you should think so. It's better for the **** Gaia to die with the **** invaders, right?"

Sauron was taken aback, and quickly said: "My lord is overwhelmed, I definitely don't have this idea."

"Nothing to blame." Gaia's hand dropped on the dark long sword intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that before coming to this continent, I had a fierce fight with a few guys. I have suffered a lot of injuries now, and I have not healed until now. Playing in this state, maybe it will really be as you think, and the outsiders will eventually die together. So I didn’t even think about going out."

Sauron's eyebrows jumped: "Are you hurt?"

Gaia's hand is already on the hilt: "Yes, it's serious. Do you want to take the opportunity to try, maybe you have a chance to kill me now. Just kill me, maybe the evolution points you get are enough You are promoted immediately."

At this moment, Gaia's suggestion sounds so tempting!
