Lord of War

Chapter 686 Double-sided Mirror

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

A light screen appeared over the hall, and an image was playing on the light screen. Looking at the picture in the image, everyone in the hall looked ugly, perhaps the Pope was an exception. The image was transmitted by Thunder using a small function in the round table knight system. Of course, it is not a real-time image. Cannon has been captured, and the news has spread to Rome.

Now some weighted figures in Rome have gathered together, looking at the images in the light screen faithfully recording the process of Cannon's capture. In this process, the important ministers in these halls witnessed how the fortress, which claimed to be unfallen walls, became fragmented under the tough means of the invaders, especially the section where the gate was broken, which was simply shocking.

The female swordsman who broke the city with a sword is not included in any record in the western continent, and the brilliance she showed is already visible to the naked eye to show that she is a high-level capable person and the same level of Sauron. Next, the posture of zero man breaking the paladin mecha defense line was also deeply reflected in the eyes of everyone, and the subsequent electromagnetic bomb made the officials and officers in the hall exclaim. They recognized that it was a special weapon developed by Ista against the knight mecha.

But Zero is not from Ista.

Coupled with the description of the female swordsman and the previous survivors of the Roaring Bay, everyone can be sure that people from other continents have come here. Otherwise, it is impossible to jump out of so many high levels in the Western Continent. This news is more shocking than the fall of the Cannon Fortress.

You should know that after the catacreation, the exchanges between the continents have become very difficult and even impassable. If people from other continents come now, does it mean that the continent where these outsiders are located already has long-range navigation means? If this speculation is true, it means that the times will enter a new page.

Of course, this will not be a pleasant thing. Now that resources are scarce, long-range navigation will only be used as an outward invasion, not to deliver friendly olive branches.

Looking at the image in the light screen again, it is nearing the end. Capturing the image of the Knights of the Round Table, everyone can clearly see that Zero is fighting against the Knights of the Round Table, and the latter is still in a state of suppression. Soon, with the drama of the picture, all the images finally ended.

The light screen rises.

The atmosphere in the hall is depressing, and everyone's faces are gray. This powerful invader can actually fight against the Knights of the Round Table with the power of one person and destroy the third generation of mecha. This fact is as heavy as a mountain, which makes people unable to think normally. Especially Dr. Jane, the destruction of the mecha can only prove his incompetence. After all, when it was developed, he boasted that he could compete with high-level strong men.

Judging from the fact that the Knights of the Round Table and the invaders were destroyed in less than 3 minutes, Dr. Jane's words were simply slapped in the face. His face was hot and his head was buried very low. Even if the officials in the hall are now attracted by the images, the doctor feels their contemptuous eyes.

Cannon was captured and less than 500 escaped soldiers. The Pope's Hall lost a fortress, two legion commanders, thousands of soldiers and several important mines. Whether it is dignity or economy, this is a heavy blow. The Pope's Hall is like a giant, but now he has been punched down. If the color is not returned immediately, the cornerstone of the Pontifical Council will be challenged by the last.

Solon was not furious unexpectedly.

He is as deep as water, and he is completely different from each other in peacetime. And those who know him, such as the commander-in-chief, know that he is the real Sauron at this time. The irritability and capriciousness is just an illusion created by Sauron to confuse his enemies. He is really deep and good at calculation. Otherwise, how can a tyrant sit on the throne for 30 years? It is not only those who want to overthrow Sauron, but Sauron's throne has been shaken from the end.

Until now, the throne seems to have been shaken by the fall of Cannon.

"Guys, everyone has finished reading this video. Has anyone told what these invaders will do next? How should we respond? Sauron's cold voice sounded, but under this coldness, it was as hot as magma.

After saying this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some people say that the invaders will leave somewhere else after grabbing the empty space. 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 whole city of Rome. Some say that they are looking at the three oil well platforms under the control of the fortress. After all, these platforms are more precious than gold mines for this era.

There were different opinions for a while, and they didn't calm down until Sauron stretched out his hand to signal. Sauron glanced at the crowd, and basically the bishops and civilian officials who had just talked loudly, as well as a few 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 are stationed in two important cities not far from Rome, and now Sauron has been urgently summoned back. In just over a month, Mr. Knights lost four legion commanders, which may only have happened in the history of Rome in that dark period.

Sauron's eyes fell on Leo, who was about the same age as Sauron, and like Carlomon and others were veterans who came from the dark ages. Now his hair is gray, but the murderous spirit on the cold-like leader has not diminished. Leo is a high-level capable person in the fire department. His command style is also the same as his ability, and he believes in aggression like fire.

Seeing Sauron looking at himself, Leo was both conscious and stood forward and said, "Your Excellency, I think the real purpose of the invaders is to build Cannon into a stronghold. A stronghold against us!"

As soon as Leo's words came out, someone jumped out and retorted, "Liao, do you think these invaders alone have the strength to fight against our whole city of Rome? And establish strongholds, and our army waved, didn't we flatten them on the spot?

Leo didn't look at it and hummed, "The fortress is 8,000 kilometers away from us. Judging from their combat strength, it takes at least three or even more knights to completely annihilate them. At present, we have only 8 complete knights left. The 1st regiment needs to guard the city of Rome, and the 4th and 11th armies are stationed at Facero. The remaining major legions also have their own guardians. To be honest, it is very reluctant for us to draw out four legions.

What's more, it takes time for the four legions to mobilize, assemble and even equip materials and logistics teams. When we gather our troops and go to Cannon, which is 8,000 kilometers away, it will take at least a month. One month is enough for them to build the most basic fortifications and prepare for us. The most critical question is that if they just want to plunder supplies, I believe it is more convenient for Farrow or other places to grab them. Why do they choose Cannon alone? Leo raised his head and looked at Sauron, but said as if to other officials, "Don't forget, where is Cannon's position? Yes, it is at the end of the bloody road, far away from the city of Rome. This is the most obvious provocation!"

Leo's words are irrefutable. The official who jumped out and interrupted before has honestly returned to his position. Sauron nodded and obviously agreed with Leo's words. He said in a low voice, "Leo, if you lead and give you another month to prepare, are you sure to pull the invaders out of Cannon?"

Li Ao took a deep look at Sauron, and then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm only 50% sure."

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

Sauron raised his hand, suppressed his voice and asked, "Why? Are the four legions not enough to flatten a small fortress?

"In theory, it is enough, but according to the data of the two battles, the invaders have a group of high-level capabilities. There are only two ninth-order strong people we know now. Lord Sauron, you are also the ninth-order. You should understand that the destructive power of the ninth-order and the eighth-order are not on the same magnitude. Our most fatal problem is that there are too few high-level and even nine-level strong people. Leo pondered for a while and said, "If Lord Sauron is willing to participate in the war, the probability of success can be increased to 70%."

The reason why it is still not a 100% winning rate is, in the final analysis, is the reason for the lack of high-level ability. And Sauron can't participate in the war so rashly. He is the only ninth level in Rome. And this battle is not like the battle of Ista, who was well prepared and could pick out the whole Ista in one fell swoop with the convenience of the sneak attack.

But even so, he left behind a King Arthur. You should know that as an upgraded version of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur himself is equivalent to a ninth rank.

Now, Sauron can't participate easily. In this frontal battle, even veteran Leo admitted that there is no 100% chance of winning. If he still loses the battle, even if he succeeds in escaping back, the whole city of Rome will be divided and collapsed. A defeated Sauron, even if his ability is still there, he can't suppress the voice below.

The throne of Rome is actually not easy to sit on, and Sauron is equivalent to sitting on a crater. What suppresses the magma below is his strength and his invincible reputation. From this, it can be seen that the appearance of these people is a great threat to him, which cannot be described as an exaggeration.

At this moment, a voice appeared in Sauron's mind without warning: "Come to the palace to see me and bring the video material just now."

Sauron's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, and in the Pope's eyes, he inadvertently clenched the armrest. So the metal armrest was completely deformed, leaving a deep fingerprint on it. Sauron was shocked. The voice just now belonged to the silver-haired demon Gaia. It was the first time that he directly printed the sound in Sauron's mind, which looked like a means for a high-level perceptor, but how difficult it was to clearly convey the sound to a high-level person, but Gaia did it easily.

Is this saying that it is easy for him to kill himself.

Sauron felt a tremor from the depths of his soul, and compared with Gaia, the threat posed by the invaders was no longer so eye-catching. It's just that Sauron didn't understand why Gaia was suddenly interested in the video information just now. Is there anything important in it, but he ignored it?

The memory of high-level capable people is amazing, and Sauron is no exception. He quickly played back the image in his mind several times in a fast-forward way, and the process was only a few seconds. But Sauron didn't see anything particularly needed to pay attention until Zero's face passed through the image. Sauron caught something and instantly fixed the image, so the deformed metal armrest almost pulled it down from it!

Everyone in the hall looked at Sauron and didn't understand why the adult suddenly lost his temper. Sauron didn't care about their feelings, so he stood up and said urgently, "The meeting is temporarily over. Let's discuss it tomorrow and end the meeting!"

After saying that, he took Westel away from the side door of the hall.

There was a storm in Sauron's heart, and he knew why Gaia suddenly asked for that information. The intruder's face is somewhat similar to that of Gaia. The difference is that the intruder is black and Gaia has silver hair. The former's right eye is golden, 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 his emotions, and then opened the door with his hand. The door was full of dimness, and the light seemed to reflect something here, so the whole palace looked so gloomy and terrible. Sauron knew that Gaia had woken up, and the whole palace had become the nest of some kind of evil beast.

Tron was absolutely not happy when he stepped into the nest. The door behind him was gently hidden under the pull of invisible force. When the invisible forces passed by Sauron, he felt depressed and his body felt heavy. This palace is full of Gaia's field, and this is his home court. Sauron also has fields. When the fields and fields cover each other, they will naturally reject each other.

Two fields of different nature will compete for space, and various understanding rules are used to fight. The more rules and the more advanced they are, the greater the chance of defeating the opponent's field. In the unknown field of Gaia, Sauron alone feels several rules, and God knows what kind of secrets there are.

He dared not explore for fear of causing Gaia's reaction.

When this idea came up, Sauron suddenly trembled. He found that he had become timid and no longer had the courage and courage of his youth. At that time, Sauron faced no less pressure than Gaia, but at that time Sauron desperately fought for everything, and even in exchange for everything today. However, today, only one Gaia gave him to his knees.

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

The silver-haired man has opened his eyes, with 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 intelligent AI. After staring at it for a long time, it creates a gloomy feeling.

I don't know what kind of thing is wrapped under this man's human cloak?

"Play that image again." Gaia said softly.

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

Soon after reading it, Gaia put down his tablet brain, leaned slightly forward and said to Sauron, "Go, bring this man. His priority is above Franklin. As long as he gets him, Franklin is insignificant.

Sauron did not hide the surprise on his face, and he was speechless for a long time. From the similar faces of the invaders and Gaia, Sauron can already guess the importance of this person to Gaia. Unexpectedly, his importance was still above Franklin. Doesn't this mean that that man is more important than the life of the last era?

After finally cleaning up his mood, Sauron lowered his head and said, "Lord Gaia, I am happy to carry out such an order. What is shocking is that there are too many high-level strongmen in this man's camp, and it is difficult for my legion to come up with power to counterbalance them anyway, let alone suppress or even attack them.

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

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

"Oh, it seems to be true." Gaia sat up straight and said lazily, "Take away your little abacus, Sauron. Last time I helped you get rid of a few old guys, I haven't figured it out to you yet. Now you want me to cut off the enemy for you. I think you should think so. It's better for Gaia, an asshole, to end up with those damn invaders, right?

Sauron was shocked and said quickly, "Your excellency is too worried. I definitely don't have such an idea."

"No wonder." Gaia's hand fell on the dark sword intentionally or unintentionally and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that before I came to this continent, I had a fierce fight with several guys. Now I have suffered a serious injury and have not recovered yet. If you fight in such a state, you may really die with those outsiders as you think. So I didn't even think about it.

Solong's eyebrows jumped down: "Are you injured?"

Gaia's hand has been pressed on the hilt of the sword: "Yes, it's quite serious. Do you want to take the opportunity to try? Maybe you have a chance to kill me now. As long as you kill me, maybe the evolution points you get will be enough for you to advance immediately.

At this moment, how powerful Gaia's suggestion sounds!
