Volume 2: Empire Chapter 53: Staying Power
The battles between sandpaper and blue dove, red kestrel and grey goose, and beautiful girls and beautiful girls were extremely gorgeous and pleasing to the eye. However, Luke and his three companions aimed to subdue the three girls, while the three girls aimed to kill them, so that they fought passively despite having the advantage in strength.
This is also the reason why Luke and Qingkong came. Most of the researchers who can become researchers in this research institute have impressive strength, not to mention that there are also Crusaders and guards like the Water Demon Shark here.
Qingkong stared at Elvis, a spirit orb appeared, and a smoke ring spread out. All the Crusaders who rushed up held their heads and wailed, then their feet slipped on the ice and they all fell to the ground.
The three researchers held magic wands and deployed a magic shield in front of themselves. The defensive magic blocked some of the mental attacks, but the penetration still made their expressions distorted, as if they were in great pain.
Qingkong slid forward, passing through the gaps in the crowd, ignoring the fallen Crusader and the researcher who was resisting the mental attack, and approached Elvis at full speed. Moreover, the mental ball changed its attack method, using the formed ice and snow environment to create a large number of sharp ice arrows, and then like a Gatling gun, it madly shot at the enemy personnel while moving.
The Crusaders and researchers were suppressed and could hardly protect themselves, and had no energy left to support Elvis.
Dr. Elvis did not have the courage to fight the approaching Qingkong. He put all his strength and energy into defense and supported the shield with all his strength.
After the clear sky flickered, she appeared in the air. She used the momentum of her fall to slash at Elvis. The blade drew an icy arc in the air and slashed the defensive shield supported by Elvis.
There was a sound of glass breaking, and a large number of tiny cracks appeared where the shield was hit. Elvis immediately mobilized his magic power to repair it, and Qingkong appeared on the right after a flash, and slashed at the eggshell-like shield again.
Elvis patched it up again, and Clear Sky switched positions for another chop.
Clear Sky kept slashing, and Elvis kept repairing. Under the high-frequency attack, Elvis's repair speed could not keep up with Clear Sky's slashing speed. There were more and more cracks on the defense shield, and the shape began to shake.
Elvis yelled for backup.
But as Luke gradually exerted his various strengths, the three beautiful sisters were entangled and unable to move, and the flames and falling lightning were constantly squeezing their space for movement.
The Crusaders and researchers were already trying their best to resist the crazy output of the spirit orbs that were like turrets. After Boiling came over with a big knife, they could hardly protect themselves, so how could they support Elvis?
As for the other people in the institute, they were killed on both sides by Luke, the commandos and Qingkong. Those who dared to come to support were killed, and the rest hid.
During this time, no one came to rescue Elvis.
In order to deal with possible dangers, Qingkong deliberately saved some strength to save power. She maintained her level at 80, but with the improvement of her strength and the deterrent power of rumors, she was able to beat Elvis, who had a comprehensive strength of five stars, so hard that he dared only defend.
The defense shield supported by Elvis became increasingly unstable. Terrified, he shouted to Qingkong, "I have been received by His Majesty. His Majesty ordered me to conduct the experiment of eternal life. If you kill me... you will be an enemy of His Majesty! And an enemy of the Empire!"
Qingkong's attack continued without any pause. The shield in front of her was already full of cracks. After being covered with ice and snow, only the vague figure of Elvis could be seen inside. It was time to end...
A snowflake covered Elvis's vision, and Qingkong replaced the ancient rock machete with the ancient rock machete, pushing the level to 100.
The blade with white light chopped down, drawing a holy flame track in the air. The powerful knife hit the shield and slashed into it without any hindrance. The other parts of the shield had not yet been broken, and the holy flames exploded in the closed shield.
The ice and snow on the outer layer of the shield were melted by the high temperature, and the inside was filled with white flames that submerged Elvis.
Then the protective shield shattered like a bubble, the holy flame vented out, and Elvis, with his face completely burned, fell to the ground.
Qingkong stood beside Elvis's body. He had been burned beyond recognition, and his neck and chest were split open. Qingkong took out a bottle from her space backpack. Inside the bottle was the remains of the altar she brought from Morris, with some blood and flesh mixed in the dirty blood.
Pour these things on and around Elvis, and his identity as the Abyss Mage is confirmed.
After getting the "evidence", Qingkong rushed towards the remaining people with a knife. Anyone who saw the process of his framing would be killed.
Except for the three beautiful sisters.
Qingkong's joining brought the battle to a quick end, all the damned witnesses were killed, and the three sisters were subdued. There was a connection port for the brain transformation device at the back of their heads, and as long as a special device was plugged into the connection port, they could enter hibernation.
After the battle, Boiling put the Egret into his cockpit, held the Blue Dove and Grey Goose in each hand, and followed Clear Sky out of another entrance. Luke returned with Sandpaper and Kestrel, and then led the City Guard into the underground base.
An ordinary armor factory has extraordinary defensive forces, and there is such a huge research institute underground, with abyss mages and evil mysterious props made by abyss mages.
Lieutenant Colonel Isaac felt that no one could stop him from becoming a general this time.
He immediately ordered the soldiers to seal off the underground research institute and conduct a thorough search. He also reported his findings to Silver Manor and requested reinforcements.
As the soldiers entered, Lieutenant Colonel Isaac accompanied Luke out of the underground laboratory. The battle on the ground was over, and Shelley handed the command back to the city guards.
Following Shelly to see Luke was Owen, the garrison officer of the armor factory.
Owen had heard from some fragments that the Abyss Mage had been found in the underground research institute, and he looked very nervous.
"Governor, I...I really didn't know that there were Abyss Mages infiltrating. I was only stationed here under the orders of the Crusader Order to prevent outsiders from stealing the secrets of the Crusader Project."
Luke could see that Owen was really scared and had no scheming to say something so unfavorable to him under such circumstances. If this matter got out of hand, no matter which side it was, they would kick him into the grave.
However, Luke valued Owen's talent in war machinery and recruited him into the Secret Intelligence Bureau's special forces in Fury City, and it was not just a casual remark.
Luke glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Isaac, who tactfully walked aside.
Then Luke said to Owen, "I pretended I didn't hear anything you said just now. If you don't want to get into trouble, go home immediately and tell your father what happened here.
Then, take nothing with you and take the transport airship to Raging Waves City early tomorrow morning, and wait for Viscount Iscolan to come find you at the Sisise Palace. I will arrange your life and work in Raging Waves City, and your family members will be safely transferred there.
Of course, if you feel that the Cross can provide you with safety, you can ignore my good intentions."
Owen was dizzy and had no backbone. When he heard that he could go home, he said to Luke: "Thank you, Governor. I will go back now and tell my father what happened here.
Thank you again! ”
Owen bowed to Luke, turned and left quickly.
Luke stayed here to command professional spies to search the factory and underground research institute. As expected, professionals are professionals, and more and more things related to the Abyss Temple were found by the spies, including a lot of confidential information.
Soon, key evidence was found at the Wind Mill Flour Mill, and a large amount of intelligence that had not yet been sent out and the evil mysterious props used by the Abyss Wizard were seized.
By daybreak, the clearing and arrest operations in Saint Lun City had all ended. Except for a small number of hostile personnel who escaped, the main bases and main personnel of the Abyss Temple in the imperial capital were all destroyed and eliminated.
Especially the horrific scene inside Austin's residence. Just by looking at it, some officials who came to check it out fainted with fear.
As some information leaked out, more and more people knew what happened in Austin's residence, and an atmosphere of fear spread within the city of Saint Lun.
Since the Empire's open war against the Celts, there has not been much of a war . After all, the Tedega Hills are far away from the Imperial Capital, and the Empire is still a powerful image in people's minds.
But this incident made the citizens of the imperial capital realize that war is not far away, it is right beside them. The Abyss Temple set up an altar in a place familiar to the citizens, and an uncountable number of people died in the altar. Some people said...under the altar, there was a river of blood, and the corpses were spliced into monsters to form an army.
When necessary, the Abyss Temple will flood every street in the imperial capital with blood and release an army of monsters to kill all living people.
In the midst of panic, people were thankful that Governor Meteor had discovered the Abyss Mages hiding in the Imperial Capital while investigating the disappearance of Princess Dale. Fortunately, the Crown Prince decisively ordered his grandson, His Royal Highness Sinclair, to lead the Fourth Division of the City Garrison Army and cooperate with the Sixth Division of the Imperial Secret Service to launch a surprise attack on the hidden Abyss Mages.
Both the City Garrison and the Secret Service's Sixth Division paid a heavy price, but they also managed to nip this major crisis in the bud.
As time went on, more details were revealed through the official channels of the Secret Service's Special Section 6. A large amount of evidence and magical images allowed the citizens to truly see the tragedy caused by the Abyss Mage.
At the same time, it also pushed the reputation of the Great Prince, Sinclair, and Meteor in the imperial capital to a new height. They are the heroes who saved Saint Lun City and seem to be the future of the empire.
This is definitely a major victory for the eldest prince Fania. He did not go to the southern front, but he dealt a heavy blow to the Celtic Grand Duke's power. Now let's see who dares to say that he is staying in the imperial capital.
Moreover, the panic caused by the Abyss Mage increased the calls for him to become the crown prince, which should have been a good thing.
But although Fania was happy, there was one thing that prevented him from fully releasing his joy, just like eating a delicious fish and suddenly being stuck by a bone.
In the study, Fania listened to the butler's report and specifically asked: "Have those people been dealt with?"
The butler replied: "Please rest assured, my master, they are all dead and have received pensions. The city garrison is preparing to award medals to all the soldiers who died in the battle, and the Imperial Military Committee is going through the approval process.
There really is no omission this time.”
Fania looked at the information in his hand. All the people who needed to be silenced participated in the battle at Austin's residence. Some of them died on the spot, and some died of "serious injuries". All of them died of natural causes, and the death was indeed very clean.
After burning all the information, Fania asked again, "Have you investigated the battle at the Caltrop Armor Factory? It was not within the attack range of the operation that night."
The butler replied: "I have inquired in detail about the city garrison officers and soldiers who participated in the attack that night. The reason for attacking the caltrop armor factory was that Governor Meteor said that the Abyss Mage was found there. Lieutenant Colonel Isaac did not know that it was the location of the Crusader Warrior Project, so when he found that the factory's defense was abnormal, he accepted Meteor's command and launched an attack on the factory.
After occupying the factory, relevant evidence was indeed found.
Master... Could it be that someone in the Cross Society is colluding with the Abyss Temple?"
Fania pondered for a while and said, “The Abyss Temple and the Blade Brotherhood have joined forces, so there must be an insider of the Abyss Temple in the palace.
The possibility of the Crusader Project being infiltrated by the Temple of the Abyss cannot be ruled out; but the possibility of the meteorite using me to strike the Crusader Order cannot be ruled out either.
In fact, I don't care about these two points. What I am worried about is... the experiment of eternal life secret technique."
The butler also became worried: "The experiment of eternal life secret technique was initiated by His Majesty. Meteorite is in the Secret Affairs Bureau and there is no way he didn't know about it. He used his master's hand to destroy the experiment, which will definitely make His Majesty hate you."
"This is the power of Meteorite." Fania couldn't help but sigh: "He gave me a remarkable achievement, but he tripped me up at the crucial point."
The housekeeper said angrily: "Yun Xing really betrayed the master's trust in him."
But Fania smiled and said, "He didn't swear allegiance to me, so he can't be said to have failed me. In his heart, Agatha is still the best choice, and I am just his backup choice.
As long as he still has Agatha in his heart, he won't help me with all his heart."
Seeing his master being pitted by a meteorite, and still doting on him so much, the butler said jealously: "Master, are you just going to let the meteorite tease you?"
Fania's expression suddenly turned serious: "Are you trying to sow discord between me and Meteorite?"
The housekeeper knelt down in fear: "I'm sorry, Master... I didn't mean to sow discord between you and Meteorite. I just feel a little unfair."
Fania warned the butler: "No matter what you think, you must put away your jealousy towards Meteorite. Qingkong killed another Abyss Apostle, and killed him in the home field that the Abyss Apostle had set up for a long time.
Meteorite controls the city of Raging Tide and creates a miracle of wealth in the city. His superb political skills make everyone think about how to win him over.
I am the future emperor of the empire, and I need meteorites to help me become the greatest emperor in the history of the empire!
I must snatch him from Agatha!"
