Chapter 564 CXCVIII. The Great Annihilation of the Ten Directions

Crocodile Island is located in a very awkward position in Silver Moon City. Its baggage supply will be cut off by Zote, and it will face the encirclement and suppression of the resistance army, dog pirates, and even religious forces.

It can only defend but not fight.

Fortunately, the supplies are sufficient, and it is more than enough to hold on until the end of the continental martial arts competition.

But recently, the roar of dragons outside the city has been deafening, and soldiers in the camp often wake up at night, their hearts broken.

The Alan Army has fought north and south, what kind of battles have they not seen? But Mulong is really scared recently.

The army, which was originally singing all the way and dominating in Mulong, suddenly reversed its polarity and became a turtle in a jar, with a huge psychological gap.

Such a situation has rarely occurred in the nearly 30 years of history of New Alan. It has always been a rampage in field positional battles, and rarely lost.

In its heyday, it even conquered the Far East, felled trees to build ships, metallurgical forging knives, and established a bridgehead in Tianguo Port.

The bandit troops in the early days of the founding of the country were naturally undisciplined and bloodthirsty, but the disciplined army today is not afraid of death, but this desert foreign land, even just east of the narrow sea, separated from Aran by a few strategic buffer functional small countries, has fallen into such a dangerous situation.

What is more terrifying than death is the growing nightmare of terror and the psychological pressure of self-suggestion. The veterans are fine, but the rookies who have just joined the army are just ordinary people who have killed people.

In their eyes, the Mulong resistance army is aboriginal barbarians, and the pirates are even more of a mob, but... with the appearance of two dragons, all this has changed.

It seems to have returned to the time when the mind was immature, and the elders warned the outside world how dangerous the East China Sea was, and that overseas foreign land was covered with the mysterious veil of the Far East.

It is even more like Alexander, tossing and turning.

Because the Drifting City has canals for irrigation, and the branches also extend into some underground rivers, except for the burial wasteland, as long as there are inhabited places, the living conditions are not so bad, and there are tenacious plants and trees to resist the wind and sand.

Although the amount of precipitation in Mulong is not very objective, there are also some reservoir lakes.

Silver Moon City is named after a large reservoir lake in the city that is shaped like a crescent moon.

There are now three lieutenant generals in the city, several other officers of different ranks, and 3,000 armored soldiers.

Although the rapid-fire rifle has been successfully developed and has strong destructive and penetrating power, even if there is no magic pattern circuit armor, the armor mixed with magic energy materials worn by ordinary soldiers cannot be penetrated by bullets at all, and at most leave a mark.

So facing the ancient Mulong light cavalry who still had leather armor and sabers, it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack.

Beside the Silver Moon Lake, this lake was once the private property of the lord of this place, and a luxurious mansion was built beside the lake.

The clear lake water reflects the waves, and under the pebbles and various round glass crystals, it doesn’t look like a city trapped in a siege, but more like a leisurely seaside resort.

Crocodile Island was lying comfortably under the parasol, lying on a chair, and letting two local beauties from Muron rub his legs and shoulders. He was not covered with armor, but was wearing a well-tailored black officer uniform, with short golden hair standing up like steel needles.

The lieutenant generals who came to report on the recent situation were speechless. Crocodile Island was really patient.

Everything should not be like this. As long as Black Rock City stood there, the army's equipment and supplies could be transported continuously, and it was already invincible.

It's a pity that the leader of the 18th Formation of the Sword of Time was too cruel.

Although he didn't do it to the extreme and completely tore the face of the military and the Church, it was almost the same. Several soldiers did die because of "accidents", but Black Rock City, Salt Lake City, and the rest of the soldiers who didn't have time to retreat were forcibly detained by Zote as prisoners and humiliated.

The reason was that he blasphemed the Dragon Lord and was detained for the time being. When Muron was done, he would return to Alan to make a decision.

In the process, beatings and serious injuries were inevitable. The secret agents in the sect said that it was the Pope who personally urged this matter, and wanted to slap the military government in the face in Mulong, and even slap the emperor in the face in the mainland martial arts competition.

With the strong support of the Pope himself, the leader of the 18th formation is not a pushover.

Originally, Crocodile Island came to Mulong for a lucrative job, but now it has become a hard job of taking the blame.

Maybe Crocodile Island also has a good idea. The military committee represented by Augustus will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the matters that each general is responsible for.

It is not that you will lose your head as long as you lose a battle, but you have lost all the battles that can be won. The military court will serve you, and at the least you will be demoted by several levels, and at the worst, you will be declared dead for treason.

In the current situation of Crocodile Island, if you conduct an assessment, to be honest, unless the emperor himself comes, it will not work for anyone else. There will definitely be penalties, but the rank of general may still be kept.

After the lieutenant general contacted the Alan military, he received a reply that the Eternal Sect was too rampant and was no longer an ordinary charlatan, so he had to deal a heavy blow.

But it was the time of the Continental Martial Arts Competition. To spoil the Emperor's fun at this time was like an old man eating arsenic and thinking his life was too long.

Although Augustus, the acting chairman of the Military Committee, could bypass the Emperor to make most decisions, and the Army Commander and the Commander could also make decisions first and report later.

But the Continental Martial Arts Competition was the key time for the military to fight internally every year. By selecting the strong men who participated in the competition, they could change their blood and rebuild to alleviate the corruption problem.

This was a big question, the game of selecting people to stand in the team, the game between the Army, the Navy and other branches of the military, there was no time for internal fighting, and they could only pity the island.

In addition, Mulon is just one of the many fronts in Yalan, and the others are also busy. As we all know, people who are not close to each other will not let you fight in battles that they can win. This kind of person is obviously going to take the blame. In the game, the devil will come to reinforce me and lower my KDA rating.

In short, Crocodile must resolutely implement it and implement it thoroughly, even if the sky falls, we have to wait until the martial arts competition is over.

Of course, the military department does not understand the Pope's tricks. If it did, the island would be blessed. But what they don't know is that the Pope wants two dragon heads to celebrate his birthday, convert the champion to the sect, and slap the emperor in the face.

"The leader of the Eighteenth Formation has camped fifty miles behind the city. It seems that he is not planning to attack us. Instead, he wants to help us deal with the pirates and resistance forces."

The lieutenant general reported to Crocodile Island.

This is very subtle. The Holy See wants to take away the credit of the military department. In this way, regarding the friction between the sect and the royal court, the sect will have the upper hand and will have more say in the future.

Faces must not be broken. Try to keep the number of dead to less than a hundred. You can falsely report the number. At most, two or three hundred people will die. This is the limit. It's a big deal.

If the royal court and the sect fight, the loss will exceed one hundred mulong.

At this time, the massage girl's sharp manicure accidentally poked Crocodile Island's thigh.

Without any nonsense, Crocodile Island just slapped him on the face and threw him to the ground. His nose was bleeding, and the girl just begged for mercy.

"How do you do things?"

Crocodile Island wiped his hands with the silk scarf handed by another girl. Fortunately, he was a compassionate person. If it had been someone else, it wouldn't have been a slap.

Seeing the girl hugging her legs and begging for mercy, Crocodile Island kicked her away and stopped pursuing it.

"I don't care about this. I just want to know where those two dragons came from. Aren't flying dragons mostly ignorant creatures? Even if they exist, they are arrogant people. How can they be driven by others and still be pirates..."

Crocodile Island really can’t figure it out.

The current situation is a small scene for him, otherwise he, as a general, would be in vain. He has encountered situations ten times more dangerous than this, but the occasional dragon roar shakes the morale of the army.

"We have reported it to the headquarters and learned some secrets. There is no trace of one of the dragons, but based on the unique purple flame dragon breath, the military expert team suspects that it is a dragon that was more active during the Engema period."

The lieutenant general said.

Crocodile Island raised his eyebrows, the Engema period? That was seven or eight hundred years ago, and he had never encountered a dragon before. But looking at the so-called palace-level groups of the Adventurer's Guild, they were able to deal with dragon disasters, and they probably only had a little brute force. Just a big guy of natural magic.

"What about the other one?"

Crocodile Island was already pissed off by Li Site. This guy actually had two dragons. It was unbelievable. He was planning to establish a country in the East China Sea.

Before the promotion movement started last year, Crocodile Island took the second train of the trial operation train and returned to the imperial capital from Dawn Port. Within two days, news of the great disaster of the century by the East China Sea Outlaws came, and it suddenly became a star epidemic. people.

They have also been paying attention to Li Site for a long time. When the East China Sea changed hands, Crocodile Island still admired this guy. He guessed that Li Site came to Mulon and was probably working as a gunman for Lostra or several other established powers. The envoy, considering the arrival of the Holy See, was able to mediate the relationship with Li Site, drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, and also get Li Site to switch sides and help, and he would be able to get a report from the military headquarters after the incident was completed.

It's a pity that Lao Li is not on the right track. Crocodao treats him like his first love, and Lao Li tortures him thousands of times.

He is really a fucking gambling dog. If this kind of madman doesn't stop, he will fall down so badly in the end. He can just become a rich man in the East China Sea. He is really looking for death.

"It's material for a court sorcerer..."

The lieutenant general didn't finish his words.

"Is that that person?"

Crocodile Island was shocked. It would have been that simple. Let that person just send someone over to recover the dragon pet, and he could also solve the problem on his side. With that person's mediation, the civilian forces headed by the military and the court warlocks could still They have a harmonious relationship, even if they are not very close, they are definitely closer than those mud devils from the Holy See.

The lieutenant general shook his head. It would be great if it was that person. "He is also one of the members of the Upper House of the Tower Alliance. Eustak is known as the uncrowned Tower Master. His voice in the Tower Alliance is second only to The Eleventh Man Pavilion has a close relationship with the tower owner of Feilong Tower.”

Crocodile Island was silent for a while.

Flying Dragon Tower?

Crocodile Island doesn't pay much attention to those things. There are many remaining towers from the Ancient Era on the Western Continent. The eleven tallest hanging towers are just more famous. In fact, there are many ancient Era ruins. Warlocks like to go to those towers. The place is running.

The Flying Dragon Tower is one of the tallest towers, breaking through the sky, but according to legend, it is just a tooth of a fallen dragon from the ancient era. Even so, it is hundreds of miles high.

"Then what?"

Crocodile Island asked the Lieutenant General.

"Most of the funds for Eustaco's research on dragons come from project allocations from the national treasury. There is no way of knowing how the dragon came from, but it is a state-owned asset. Anti-imperialists stole it, joined forces with foreign forces, and transported it to Overseas. Many people are involved and want to investigate thoroughly. , many anti-imperialists in the royal court had to be picked out, including a high-ranking official, so it had been carried out in secret, and I was extremely vigilant about causing any disturbance. The commander also warned me not to spread rumors randomly, and could only inform me. To you, I hope it will be helpful to you in your actions in Mulon.”

The lieutenant general said calmly.

Crocodile Island is so nervous that it can't help anything. Those people took advantage of the mainland martial arts competition to try to get benefits and offer all kinds of support except for help. Now they have to take the blame.

There is no other way. Black Rock City is blocked by the 18th formation. Because of the falling out, reinforcements are not available. Considering the rapid expansion of Alan, it is powerless to make enemies everywhere. It can only rely on itself. How can it hold on until the end of the martial arts competition.

For Crocodile Island, the war situation is not important. Whether the railway tariff and territorial sovereignty can be preserved is the kingly way.

Wait for those idiots to fight. Anyway, the railway will be completed sooner or later. Even if I die, there will still be people coming to Mulong to build a large-scale project. It's just a matter of sharing with the government. The current government is very obedient, and Uporio is very rebellious. Let the 18th formation do it for me. It's okay. Just stay alive.

The Vatican is rich enough to rival a country. It has done so many tricks because everyone knows that the Pope is good at face and does not seek the best, but only the most expensive. It may be that the many advanced technologies in recent years have driven him crazy.

Let the 18th formation fight. The sect gets the face and the royal court gets the inside. That's good.

Crocodile Island will not let itself become a victim of the tiger throwing dragon. It will not admit it afterwards. It still wants to play the trick of fighting but not breaking. It will find other scapegoats. As long as the railway section is Alan territory and has sovereignty, it will be fine.

If Crocodile Island knew the truth about the birthday celebration, it would definitely go out of the city to kill Zote first.

It's a pity that it can't be exchanged.

At this moment, in Mulong, Salt Lake City.

Zote is preparing for war and has already brought his nameless sword with him, ready to show his strength.

"There is a whistle. Is the exclusive train of the Holy See coming?"

Zote asked the adjutant.

For this operation, the Pope himself has given the order. If you want money, you have money. If you want people, you have people.

Now, whether it is Black Rock City, Salt Lake City, or even Kolor Highlands, under the high welfare benefits provided by the Holy See, it is already Zuo Gong spitting out food, and the world is at peace.

The influence of the local religion, the Holy Lord, is getting weaker and weaker. It's a pity that the man with a broken hand came to seek revenge that day. Zote is a person who never breaks his promise. He let the goddess of the cult run away. There will be signs of rebound in the future, but it's not a big problem. In front of money, the truth must be silent.

"Yes, the heavy armor you wore in the decisive battle in the royal city in the past, and the evil dragon judge sent by the pope, are also here."

The adjutant replied.

Zote was stunned for a moment, which was extremely rare. It seemed that the past had caught up with him after decades, but it was fleeting. "Then let's go. We can't lose etiquette to the high-ranking people in the church."

According to Zote's current status in the church, he is only the leader of the Sword of Time formation, not the cardinal. In terms of official position, these so-called judges are greater than him.

But when entering Muron, you still have to listen to Zote's tuning.

Half an hour later.

Zote came to the train compartment. After a few simple greetings, he came to the compartment where his former armor was stored and saw a sealed wooden box.

He cut it in half with one blow.

Zot never named his tools, but the strongest armed architect in Old Alan called his work, this armor, "Ten Directions Great Destruction".
