Sherlock Holmes

In the command room, the commander-in-chief of the city defense of the ancient Roman French city pressed the button of the speaker, then inserted his fingers into his hair and scratched it hard.

When he was directing into the microphone just now, his tone exuded absolute majesty. Any madman who dared to invade this city would naturally be crushed with absolute majesty and firepower, leaving no trace behind.

His tone also told all the soldiers in the inner city that this was bound to be the result.

But only he knew what it meant that the intruder was still alive under such terrible firepower. Recalling the liaison stations that had been disconnected one after another in the past few minutes, Mr. Commander-in-Chief felt chills all over his body. Moreover, How could the other party escape from the building? How could the intruder quietly enter the underground pipes under such terrible fire suppression? And let such a terrible person enter the intricate underground darkness? What a frightening thing it would be.

He was pacing back and forth in the command room, his face ashen. Only 5 minutes had passed since the alarm was sounded. In the first two minutes, an effective defensive offensive had been assembled in the city. This could be said to be the fastest, The most professional response.

In fact, at first, he thought that some reactionary forces from the empire were out in force at this juncture, preparing to commit suicide to add some chaos to the empire. But what surprised him was that there were only two invaders.

It was only after he sneaked directly into the treatment room where Emperor Augustine usually stayed that he was almost discovered.

What kind of guy can do this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be glad that he had quickly hung up the speaker, otherwise, the soldiers in the city would have heard the slight tremor in his voice. At the same time, he was even more glad that Emperor Augustine had canceled this health monitoring, otherwise , if an imperial emperor who had just abdicated died in the city, wouldn't he be a sinner through the ages?

Fortunately, none of the above situations happened.

But it just didn’t happen for the time being!

In just a few minutes, the commander-in-chief had begun to have the most real fear of those two people. He knew that the soldiers under his command were dying, and more people would die, and these Death didn't seem to be able to effectively stop those two people. After thinking about it, he suddenly roared.

"When will the third echelon be ready?"

Ten seconds later, the door of the command room was pushed open, and a communications soldier stood outside the door tremblingly: "It should take 7 minutes."

"What?! 7 minutes?!"

The commander-in-chief slammed the table, shaking the microphone on it and almost falling over. The communication soldier also said extremely anxiously: "Sir, the transportation of the third-order demon is really too difficult, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience." Four of them have sex, and 7 minutes is already the limit.”

The commander exhaled a few heavy breaths. In fact, he also knew that when the third echelon was dispatched, it would be difficult to transport the four third-level demons stationed in the city. Plus, the time it took to wake up from the demon sedative, 7 minutes was already a long time. It's fast. If it's just ordinary troops, loading alone can take half an hour.

He suppressed the anxiety in his heart. It seemed that the pressure given to him by the two intruders was too much. They actually allowed him to move out all four big demons at once. This was more or less It feels like a chariot fighting mosquitoes.

But he understands that this is the most appropriate way to deal with it at this stage. After retiring from the battlefield, he deeply realizes that any situation beyond his expectation must be nipped in the cradle as soon as possible, otherwise if the situation escalates further , is likely to cause irreparable losses.

In order to stop the two humans, directly using large demons can be regarded as some kind of respect for the strong strength of the two assassins.

At this moment, Sherlock and Watson were still running through the underground drainage pipes. In the dark underground, Watson listened to the footsteps in front of him and followed them closely. He was a little confused in his heart. With a little visibility, Sherlock was able to run forward unobstructed, as if he had already known the city's underground routes.

In fact, this is really the case. The waterproofing system of this ancient city is extremely excellent, and there have not been many changes over the years. He already has a clear road map in his mind, and Emperor Augustine will leave with the help of an airship. This has long been expected. After all, for the assassin, as long as he gets on the airship, he will no longer be able to pose any threat to him.

But he didn't expect that in just a few minutes, he and Watson would cause such a huge shock to the city's security commander that he directly asked him to use demons, four of them at once.

In fact, if you think about it, the person who originally suggested using this defense mode was a little too crazy.

This is an urban area, not a battlefield. There will be no situation where military forces want to bomb the city. So no matter how cautious you are, you won't have a few large demons stationed nearby.

But I don’t know how this idea was passed many years ago. In short, in the third defense echelon, in addition to those defense troops with full equipment configuration, there are really four third-level great demons stationed for a long time!

It's unreasonable, but it works.

Under the shroud of holy light, large demons cannot tear open the cracks in the void, which means that no one can survive the siege and pursuit of four large demons, even Baskerville, who can resist the large demons with his own strength. Humans are only facing one. If they encounter four fighting at the same time, they can only run away.

Therefore, Emperor Augustine would say at that time that people are only people after all.

The underground route cannot really lead to every corner of the city, and the long-term isolation from the outside world is not conducive to guessing the target's action route, so in the end, the two people still have to come to the surface.

A drainage fence was moved away silently, and two shadows came out covertly. Faced with the tight defense of the entire city, it was obviously unrealistic to remain hidden, so it only took 3 minutes for the two people to be captured. Found.

In the remaining few minutes, everything happened again like the previous violent scenes, but the suppression force at this time was even more terrifying. The tongues of fire gathered into bright pillars of light, spitting between the streets, and flying off the walls of the buildings. In the dust, everything was torn into pitiful pieces. In the streets of the ancient city, there was blood, explosions, screams, black shadows, and people died.

At this moment, Emperor Augustine's car had already driven onto the straight road leading to the airship landing site.

Still at this moment, four transport trucks carrying huge steel containers had entered the city. On the way, the demon sedative in the containers had been emptied. With the sound of several steel bearings turning, the door of the large tank slowly opened. , several huge claws, feet, or arms stretched out from it.

Among several vehicles not far away, four serious-looking people got out. They were wearing the most ordinary guard uniforms, but from the attitudes of the people around them, it could be seen that these four people had extremely special characteristics. An unusual identity.

"Where is the target?" One of the sturdy men asked directly.

"Two streets away, they are still moving rapidly towards the west." A garrison reported loudly, standing in a standard military posture.

The sturdy man didn't say much, because he came here with only one mission, and that was to kill the two intruders. Although he still didn't know why the third echelon was dispatched when there were only two people, but A task is a task, as long as you perform it, you don't need to know the reason.

So just hearing a 'bang' sound, the man had already accelerated on the spot and rushed away in the direction pointed by the soldier. As he moved, the remaining three people also quickly followed suit. The entire mission The handover process didn't even take a minute, but it gave everyone around them a great sense of security.

Immediately afterwards, the four third-level demons also straightened up their huge bodies and began to run and climb on the roads between the cities in their own customary ways. There was a huge roar and the explosion of people who had just woken up from their slumber. His habitual roar echoed through the surrounding buildings.
