War Lord

Chapter 742: Cut weeds and roots

Before dawn, Sauron was already up.レm♠思♥路♣客レ last night, he didn't sleep at all. This is the first time he has insomnia in fifteen years. Seeing the holographic panel of the underground city outside the window is evolving into the sky of dawn, in the dim light, it seems that even the city is covered in mist.

Standing in front of the window, slowly drank a glass of clean water. Sauron suddenly recalled the past. Since the rebellion fifteen years ago, he has ascended to the sky and sat on the supreme throne of the city. Even the leader of the gods, Pope Paul, is just a chess piece under his hands. Over the years, he was decisive and decisive, saying that everything was under his control.

Even with the appearance of Gaia, he is sure to steer the situation in favor of his own situation. After all, he and Gaia do not have too obvious conflicts on the overall situation. But now, he has a feeling of being unable to grasp the situation. This is the first time he has a sense of powerlessness. The reason is that the killer Scar and his people returned last night.

Scar This man, no one knows what his name is, just because he has a horizontal scar on his face. He had a killer group. He was wanted a few years ago for the assassination of a big figure in Rome, but he was caught and executed shortly after. But in fact, he was only a substitute, and Sauron left him his life so that he could do something inconvenient for himself.

For example, with the assassination of Paul last night, Wither has been handed over to him. In recent years, Scar's group has rarely missed. Normally speaking, Scars should have returned in the middle of the night, and Sauron confessed that no matter how late, they would report to him as soon as it was done.

He waited until four o'clock in the morning yesterday, but he still couldn't see the scar return, so the worried Sauron couldn't close his eyes at all.

He still knew the guarding power of the Papal Palace, because apart from the Knights Guards, Sauron selected Paul from the Knights' reserve. The guards of the entire government will not exceed twenty people, even if the knight guards are added, there will be no more than thirty people. Moreover, the highest rank of guards and knights is only Tier 6, but a single scar is Tier 8!

There is no technical difficulty in killing Paul at all. The difficulty is the aftermath. Originally, Sauron had already thought of several plans, but now it seems that they can no longer be used.

At this moment Wither said solemnly outside the door: "My lord, Scar is back."

His voice was the same, but Sauron heard a trembling tail sound in his voice, so Sauron's heart beat hard.

It's finally time for the answer to be revealed.

"Let him in." Sauron said solemnly.

No matter how prepared Sauron was, he was still shocked when Scar walked in. Scar was covered with blood, and one of his left arms was missing. Only a simple dressing was done on the broken arm, and blood still oozes out now. His face was pale, his expression was bitter, and he saw what Sauron wanted to say, but finally bowed his head.

"How could this be?" Sauron asked in surprise.

Scar raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We failed. Except for me, all the other brothers died in the government..."

For Scar, this is a big dirt in his career, but he doesn't feel ashamed. Last night, they assassinated the guard and sneaked into the government, but bumped into a guard on the corridor leading to the Pope's bedroom. It was a young man with a lazy smile on his face. This doesn't matter to Scar, it's just when a guard is killed.

He gave an order, and five killers swarmed up. At this moment, the man flew back, and at the same time flicked his fingers, the strong wind burst out and exploded the surrounding lighting. Scar sneered, the darkness was their killer's world, this guard was so naive that he wanted to use darkness to deal with them. But he soon found out that he was wrong. From time to time there were cold electric flashes in the dark, and after every flash of electric light, a killer must scream and fall to the ground.

When the last scream disappeared, Scar was actually terrified. He didn't know who this person was and why he could easily kill the five killers in the dark. But Scar didn't have time to think about it. He gritted his teeth and leaned forward into the darkness.

No one knows what happened in the darkness, only the sparks that exploded from time to time and the heavy beating sound like a shower. After a while, the darkness returned to calm, the Scar retreated violently, and flew away from the government mansion, clutching the shoulder that had lost an arm. All he could do was to vent his anger on the guards who rushed to hear the sound.

But the matter did not end, the nameless guard chased it out again, and Scar could only play hide-and-seek with him in Rome. With the advantage that he was more familiar with the city than the opponent, and finally got rid of this terrible opponent at 5 o'clock in the morning, he had the opportunity to return to Sauron to report.

After hearing all this, Sauron's face was pale. He rarely got angry, but those who knew him knew that Sauron was the most terrifying at this time. Sauron clenched his fists, and the air in the room rang from time to time. That was the reason for the interference by Sauron's power. After a long while, Sauron let go of his fist and asked in confusion: "Where did this kid recruit such a strong man, are you sure it's not Yafidi?".

"Of course not, the opponent's swordsmanship is very powerful, and the ability is not Yafidi's spiral piercing. Moreover, even if it is Yafidi, I am not so miserable. That man, I'm sure he is a ninth-order!" Scar said.

"Tier Nine? Tier Nine is not easy to find. If you want a Tier Nine to work for yourself, what kind of reward Paul did you promise him." Sauron said with a squint.

Wither stepped forward and said, "My lord, will it be Mendriza or the strong man in the old Joseph family?"

"Impossible. Although the two families have profound backgrounds, they have not yet come up with a ninth rank as a guard for Paul." Sauron suddenly shook his whole body, and his eyes flashed sharply. After a while, he even gasped slightly.

Wither tried to step forward, but stopped him. Sauron said solemnly: "I understand, it turned out to be like this... Paul, that kid, I guess there is a suspicion of cooperating with those guys in the Poseidon group!"

"what?"

Wither and Scar face looked at each other, and both saw themselves shocked in each other's eyes.

"This... how is this possible, how to put it..." Wither said intermittently.

Sauron sneered: "What's impossible, no, because Paul is the pope, no one would have thought that he would cooperate with pirates. You think the Poseidon group has a shallow foundation, but they can win consecutive battles, very big. Relying on a group of high-level capable people who didn't know where to find it. Only they can casually lend a high-level to protect our Pope."

"In that case, Natov Island is also a masterpiece of these islands?" Wither surprised: "In this way, don't they have some kind of technology or ability that can destroy the island in one blow?"

"It should be so, but they might also be afraid of this kind of force, or there may be some restrictions. Otherwise, if our city was destroyed by a single shot, it would be necessary to do everything possible to fight from the **** road. Come here." Sauron touched his chin and said, "There is sufficient information to prove that Oran of Istar has repeatedly entered and exited the Fortress of Cannon. The Poseidon and the rebels are also suspected of cooperating. Then if you want to come, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will still agree with you. The rebels have an unclear relationship..."

"I really underestimated this kid. I didn't expect that he was playing a big game!" Sauron high-five.

"My lord, your Highness Paul, do you want to..." Wither tentatively asked.

"There are Tier Nine guards, unless I do it myself, who can kill him?" Sauron said coldly: "What's more, he will definitely be guarded against what happened last night. Besides, this matter can't be done. If you can't kill him cleanly, you can't shoot him again, otherwise it will attract interference."

"However, Scar, I have one more thing left to you."

Scar said unexpectedly: "Excuse me, what's the matter."

"Yafidi." Sauron said coldly: "Kill him for me."

Both Wither and Scar looked at Sauron incomprehensibly, the latter said: "Yesterday at the meeting, Sine, who had been acquainted with Yafiddi, actually advocated the abolition of his position as head and deprived him of his merits. In this way, Yafidi is no different from a commoner. At first I was a little confused, but then I thought that Signe was planning to send his friend away. Without his duties and merits, it would be no good for a commoner to leave the city. Investigate, Signe was also thoughtful and didn't give me any handle."

He chuckled and said: "It's a pity, if it's someone else, I can't let Duya Feidi just let him go like that. Whether it's a high-ranking person or the head of my Holy Seal Knight Order. From It’s okay to look at any point. Yafidi’s value is too great. I don’t want to build myself an enemy like this in the future. Besides, he knows too much about us, and if he becomes an enemy, there will be endless troubles. So, scars, Go and kill him."

"Of course, after he leaves the city. Since Signe wants to be clever, I will make him regret it once. A civilian can leave the city, but at the same time, one or two civilians die outside the city but no one will hold him accountable."

"What about his wife and children?" Scar asked in a deep voice.

Sauron made a beheading gesture: "Cut the grass and root, understand?".

"Subordinates know."

Scar saluted, turned and left.

A modified car with a raised chassis and a guardrail baffle was stopped by the guards when it drove to the gate of the city. The soldier on duty stepped forward and said, "Who are you, please show your pass when you leave the city."

The driver poked his head out of the window and said: "Is your dog blind? Didn't you see that this is the emblem of the Lucerne family? Head Signe is rushing out of the city. If you want to delay business, take responsibility. Can you afford it?".

Only then did the soldiers notice that the emblems of the Signe family were indeed printed on the doors on both sides of the car, and they let them go. As the car passed by, he saw that Signe was indeed sitting in the elongated trunk of the car, and he was closing his eyes to rest. In the tail compartment, there were still a few civilians, a young couple and three children. The male soldier among them felt familiar, and seemed to be Yafidi, the commander of the Eleventh Army.

When the car went away, the soldier shook his head and laughed. The identity of the legion commander is so noble, and how can he wear a civilian attire such as commoners and trousers? It is probably a member of the clan of Commander Sine, but if the commander can send it out of the city himself, he also has a lot of identity.

The soldier didn't know, he was right, and the one sitting next to Signe was Yafidi.

The car left the city gate, passed a tunnel to the ground, and drove forward for about a hundred kilometers. There is a small hill next to a bend, and an off-road vehicle parked at the foot of the hill. The car drove to the side and stopped, and then the driver, Sine and Yafidi got out of the car together.

"I'll take you here, my friend."

Signe patted Yafiddy on the shoulder and said, "Leave in my car, with my family crest as a cover. No one dares to interrogate you unless I'm dead."

"If possible, I would like to meet you for a drink next time." Yafidi said sincerely, holding Signe's arm with his backhand.

"There will be a chance." Signe walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk, which was filled with a box of supplies: "There is water and food in it, enough for you to survive this winter. After this, find a small Settle down in the place, and wait a few years to see the situation."

He said again: "Mina is a good woman, don't let her hurt."

Yafidi smiled softly at his wife in the carriage and turned to say: "Don't worry, although I am no longer the leader, but the strength is still there. To protect Mina and the children, I wonder if I still have this ability."

"This is the best way, then, set off." Signe added another sentence: "Don't look back!"

How could Yafidi couldn't hear the words with puns? He glanced in the direction of Rome, then turned around and got into the driver's seat.

The engine started and the car went away. It wasn't until he disappeared at the end of the road that Signe sighed softly: "Let's go back too."

So I got on the off-road vehicle with the driver and drove back to Rome.

After half an hour, a few motorcycles and an off-road vehicle drove over and stopped by the hill where Signe and Yafidi broke up. Scar jumped off the off-road vehicle, looked at the traces of the wheels on the ground intently, and then turned around and said, "They just left, chase after!"

Including the knife scar, a whole ten assassins galloped towards the end of the earth like a pack of wild wolves, following the traces left by Yafidi.

After a sneeze, Old Bernard got out of the bed. When the curtains were opened, there was a goose-feathered snowflake floating outside. It's just that the snow in the new age can't talk about any beauty at all. They are gray and radiant. Old Bernard sighed and stood in front of the mirror. The old man in the mirror has a thin, dark red muscle tissue under his eye bags on his left face. It is a long-term life on the surface that has been affected by radiation and has formed an abnormal tissue. Abnormal tissue can make humans tenaciously resist the erosion of radiation, but at the same time it can also accelerate the aging of the human body, just like a double-edged sword.

You can't live without it, but die fast with it. But no matter what, the abnormal organization can at least allow ordinary humans to survive in this harsh environment. Those fragile lives were eliminated as early as 20 or 30 years after the catastrophe.

Old Bernard was the second mayor of Yozzi. This small town, as well as the surrounding towns of Mason and Bluebridge, were only established in the past ten years. It was also after the **** road that these small towns had room for survival. The opening of the road of blood stained the Western Continent from south to north to form an important traffic road. With the road, materials can go to any place in the Western Continent, so the blood-stained road is as important as the blood vessels of the human body.

With the road to blood, there are now small towns like Yoqi or cities like Cage. They form transportation nodes on the road to blood and can be used as transfer stations. The three small towns of Yoqi Town are uniquely located, and not far behind them is the famous city of Rock on the mainland. As a rock city that guards the northern border of the blood-stained road, its solidity can be seen from its name.

In fact, the outer wall of the city of rock is made of natural white stones that are abundant nearby. The wall is 60 meters high and it is white all over, so it is also called the white city. The city gate is made of composite armor plates of equal height. In addition, the designers of Rock City at that time added some additional systems to resist the impact of the city gate, making it almost impossible to open the city gate with external force. Is an impossible thing.

This city gate is called the wall of sighs. It means that when the enemy arrives under the city, it also means looking at the city and sighing.

As a vassal town of the Rock City, the three towns of Yoqi have their own advantages. The three small towns are full of hotel wine, so that travelers who have passed their time in the city have a place to rest and relax. At the same time, there is a beer processing factory in Yotzi, so it is also known as the beer town. When travelers from north to south pass through Yotzy, they will never forget to drink a few glasses of beer brewed in the town. .

But now, both the town of Jozi and the other two towns are extremely depressed. In addition to the coming of winter, there is another important reason, and that is the danger of pirates in the south of the mainland.

Old Bernard had heard that the pirates in Roaring Bay not only landed on land ~lightnovelpub.net~, they also occupied the Fortress of Canon. This is simply an incredible thing for the people in the town. After all, the fortress of Khanom is said to be incapable of falling into the iron wall, and two knights are stationed in it, and its defense power is second only to the city of rock in the entire continent.

Soon after, the Knights had another battle with the pirates in the Eternal Mountains, and the result was another surprise.

The combined army of the three legions unexpectedly returned from the Eternal Mountains. Now, even Cage City has fallen into the hands of the pirates, which is no different from a huge threat to the north.

However, judging from the reactions of the residents in the town, everyone did not feel too much about the matter. After all, I heard from some travelers from the south that even after being occupied, the pirates did not do much damage to the city, and even guaranteed the food and water supply of the city residents. The policy is better than that of the princes of the Pope’s Hall. It's much looser.

The most attractive thing is the treatment of workers there. I heard that an ordinary miner can receive two gold coins a month! You must know that for families in the North, two gold coins are enough for a family's monthly food and clothing needs, and workers in the North often earn enough money to barely live by the family and far from talking about food and clothing.

Of course, these topics can only be discussed in private. If they are heard by the soldiers, they will be taken away.
