Chapter 742 Rooting

Before dawn, Sauron got up. He didn't sleep at all last night, which was the first time he had insomnia in 15 years. Looking out of the window, the holographic board of the underground city is evolving into the morning sky. In the hazy light, it seems that even the city is covered in a fog.

Stand in front of the window and drink slowly with a glass of clean water. Sauron suddenly recalled the past. Since the rebellion 15 years ago, he has ascended to the sky and sat on the supreme throne of the city. Even the spiritual leader Pope Paul is just a pawn of his hand. Over the years, he has been decisive and decisive, and everything is under his control.

Even if Gaia appears, he is sure to lead the situation to his own favor. After all, there is no obvious conflict between him and Gaia in the overall situation. But now, he has a feeling that he can't grasp the situation. This is the first time he has a sense of powerlessness, because the killer Scar and his people returned at the end of last night.

No one knows the scar man's name, just because he has a horizontal scar on his face. He had a group of killers, who were wanted a few years ago for the assassination of a big man in Rome, and were arrested and executed soon after. But in fact, it was just a stand-in who died. Sauron left his life to do something inconvenient for himself.

For example, the assassination of Paul last night has been handed over to him. Over the years, Scar's group has rarely failed. As usual, Scar should have come back in the middle of the night, and Sauron told him that no matter how late it was, he would report to him as soon as possible.

He waited until 4 a.m. yesterday, but he still saw the scar return, so the worried Sauron couldn't close his eyes at all.

He still knows the guard strength of the papal palace, because in addition to the knight guard, all the guards in the palace were selected by Sauron from the reserve of the Order and assigned to Paul. There will not be more than 20 guards in the whole mansion, and even if you add the knight guard, there will be only about 30 people. What's more, the highest level of guards and knights is only six levels, but a scar alone is the eighth level!

There is no technical difficulty in killing Paul at all. What is difficult is the aftercare work. Sauron had already thought about several sets of plans, but now it seems that it can no longer be used.

At this time, Wessel said in a low voice outside the door, "Your Excellency, the scar is back."

His voice was the same as before, but Sauron heard a trembling ending in his voice, so Sauron's heart also beat heavily.

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

"Let him in." Sauron said in a low voice.

Even if Sauron was psychologically prepared, he was still shocked when the scar came in. The scar was covered with blood, and a left arm disappeared. Only a simple bandage was made at the broken arm, and now there is still blood oozing out. His face was pale and bitter. When he saw what Sauron wanted to say, he finally lowered his head.

"How could this happen?" Sauron was surprised.

Scar raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, my lord. We failed. All the other brothers died in the mansion except me..."

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 palace, but bumped into a guard in the corridor leading to the Pope's bedroom. That's a young man with a lazy smile on his face. This is nothing to the scar, just kill the guard.

He gave an order, and five killers rushed up. At this time, the man flew back and flicked his fingers, and the strong wind blew up the surrounding lighting. Scar sneered. The darkness was the world of their killers. This guard was naive enough to use darkness to deal with them. But he soon found that he was wrong. From time to time, cold lightning flashed in the dark. After every flash of lightning, a killer must scream and fall to the ground.

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

No one knows what happened in the dark, only sparks and showers from time to time. After a while, the darkness returned to calm, and the scar retreated, covering the shoulder that had lost an arm and flew away from the palace. All he could do was vent his anger on a few guards who arrived.

But it didn't end, and the nameless guard chased him out again. Scar could only play hide-and-seek with him in Rome. With the advantage of being more familiar with the city than his opponent, he finally got rid of this terrible opponent at 5 a.m., and he had the opportunity to return to Sauron to report.

After hearing all this, Sauron's face turned pale. Rarely, he was not angry, but people familiar with him knew that Sauron was the most terrible at this time. Sauron clenched his fist, and the air in the room sounded from time to time, which was disturbed by Sauron's power. After a long time, Sauron let go of his fist and wondered, "Where did this boy attract such a strong man? Are you sure it's not Yafidi?"

"Of course not. The opponent's swordsmanship is very powerful, and his ability is not Yafidi's spiral puncture. What's more, even if it's Yafidi, I won't be so miserable. That man, I'm sure he is the ninth rank!" Scar said.

Ninth level? The ninth level is not easy to find. If you want a ninth level to work for himself, what kind of reward did you promise him? Sauron squinted and said.

Wessel came forward and said, "Your Excellency, will it be Mendrisa or Joseph the Elder's family?"

"Impossible. Although the two families have a deep background, they have not yet taken out a ninth-order guard for Paul." Sauron's whole body suddenly shook, and his eyes flashed brightly. After a moment, he even gasped slightly.

Wother wanted to move forward, but stopped him. Sauron said in a low voice, "I understand, so that's how it is... Paul's boy, I guess he is suspected of cooperating with those guys from the Nepto!"

"What?"

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

"How...how is this possible, anyway..." Wissel 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 that the foundation of the Haishen Group is shallow, but they can win consecutive victories, relying heavily on a group of high-level capable people who don't know where they came from. Only they can borrow a high-ranking person to protect our highness.

"So, Natov Island is also a masterpiece of these islands?" Wessel was shocked and said, "In this way, don't they have some kind of technology or ability that can destroy the island with one blow?"

"It should be, but they may also be afraid of this force, or there are some restrictions. Otherwise, our city would have been blown up earlier, and there would be no need to do everything possible to come from the road stained with blood. Sauron touched his chin and said, "There is enough intelligence to prove that Ista's Orlando's second entry is due to Fort Cannon, and the Nepion and the rebels are also suspected of cooperation. So if you think about it this way, I'm afraid His Royal Highness still has an unclear relationship with the rebels..."

"I really underestimated this boy. Unexpectedly, he was playing a big game of chess!" Sauron clasped.

"Your Excellency, on Paul's side, do you want to..." Wessel tried.

"There is a ninth-order guard. Unless I take action myself, who can kill him?" Sauron said coldly, "What's more, with what happened last night, he will definitely take precautions. Moreover, this matter is inseparable. If you can't kill him neatly, you can't take action against him again, otherwise it will attract interference.

"However, Scar, I have another thing to do for you."

The scar accidentally said, "What's the matter?"

"Yafidi." Sauron said coldly, "Kill him."

Both Wisel and Scar looked at Sauron puzzledly, and the latter said, "At yesterday's meeting, Sine, who had always been friends with Yafidi, actually strongly called for the abolition of his regimental and deprivation of his merit. In this way, Yafidi is no different from civilians. At first, I didn't understand, but later I thought that Sine was going to send him away as a good friend. Without his position and meritorious deeds, there is nothing to pursue when a civilian leaves the city. Sine is also thoughtful and doesn't give me any handle.

He laughed and said, "It's a pity that if it's someone else, it's okay. I can't let him go like this. Whether he is a senior or once the head of my Order of the Holy Seal. From any point of view, Yafidi's value is too great. I don't want to set up one more enemy for myself in the future. What's more, he knows too much about us. Once we become an enemy, there will be endless trouble. So, scar, go and kill him."

"Of course, after he goes out of the city. Since Sine wants to be smart, I will make him regret it once. Although a civilian is free to leave the city, at the same time, no one or two civilians will be prosecuted for the death of one or two civilians outside the city.

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

Sauron made a beheading gesture: "Cut the grass and eradicate it, do you understand?"

"I know."

Scar salute, turn around and leave.

A modified car with an elevated chassis and a guardrail baffle stopped the guards when it drove to the gate. The soldier on duty came 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? Don't you see that this is the emblem of the Ryutel family? Chief Sine is rushing out of the city. Can you take responsibility if you delay your business?

At this time, the soldier noticed that the emblem of the Signe family was indeed printed on the doors on both sides of the car and quickly released it. As the car passed by, he saw that Signe was indeed sitting in the rear of the extended car, and he was closing his eyes to refresh his mind. In the tail, there are several civilians, a young couple and three children. Among them, the male soldier felt familiar and seemed to be Yafidi, the commander of the 11th Army.

When the car went away, the soldier shook his head and laughed. How noble is the identity of the commander of the legion? How can he wear civilian clothes such as cloth and trousers? He is probably a member of the clan of the regimental commander of Sine, but he can send him out of the city in person, which is also very important.

The soldier didn't know that he was right. Sitting next to Sine was Yafidi.

The car drove out of the city gate, passed a tunnel to the ground, and drove about 100 kilometers forward. There is a small hill beside a curve, and an SUV parked at the foot of the hill. The car stopped next to it, and then the driver, Signe and Yafidi got off the car together.

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

Sine patted Yafidi on the shoulder and said, "Drive my car away. With my family emblem as a cover, no one dares to check you unless I die."

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

"There will be a chance." Sine went to the back of the car and opened the trunk, which was full of boxes of supplies: "There is water and food in it, enough for you to survive this winter. After that, find a small place to settle down and wait a few years to see the situation.

He added, "Mina is a good woman. Don't hurt her."

Yafidi smiled gently at his wife in the carriage and turned his head, "Don't worry, although I am no longer the regimental commander, my strength is still there. To protect Mina and the children, I ask myself that I still have this ability.

"This is the best way. Then, let's go." Sine added, "Don't look back!"

How could Yafidi not hear this pun? He looked in the direction of Rome, then turned around and got into the driver's seat.

The engine started and the car went away. It was not until he disappeared at the end of the road that Sine sighed, "Let's go back too."

So I took the off-road vehicle prepared early with the driver and drove back to Rome.

Half an hour later, several motorcycles and an off-road vehicle drove over and parked by the hill where Signe and Jafidy broke up. Scar jumped off the SUV, stared at the wheel marks on the ground, and then turned around and said, "They just left, chasing!"

Including the scars, ten killers ran along the traces left by Yafidi like a group of wolves to the end of the earth.

I sneezed and old Bernard came out of the quilt. Open the curtains, and there are goose feather-sized snowflakes floating outside. It's just that the snow in the new era can't talk about any beauty. They are gray with strong radiation. Old Bernard sighed and stood in front of the mirror. The old man in the mirror is covered with a thin, dark red muscle tissue under his left face and eye bag, which has been living on the surface for a long time and has been affected by radiation to generate mutatic tissue. Variant tissue can make human beings tenaciously resist radiation erosion, but it can also accelerate the aging of the human body, just like a double-edged sword.

You can't live without it, but you will die quickly with it. But no matter what, muta organizations can at least allow ordinary human beings to survive in this harsh environment, and those fragile lives have been eliminated 20 to 30 years ago after the catastrophe.

Old Bernard is the second mayor of Jozi Town. This town, as well as the surrounding towns of Mason and Bluebridge, were established in the past ten years. It is also after the blood-stained road that these towns have space to survive. The opening of the blood-stained road has formed a traffic road from south to north in the western continent. With the highway, materials can go anywhere in the western continent, so the meaning of the blood-stained highway is like the blood vessels of the human body, and its importance is self-evident.

With the blood-stained road, there are now small towns like Yogi or cities like Cage. They form transportation nodes on the blood-stained road and can be used as transit stations. The three towns in Yoqi Town have a unique geographical location, and not far behind them are the Rock City, a famous city on the mainland. As a rocky city that guards the north of the bloody road, its strength can be seen from its name.

In fact, the outer wall of the Rock City is made of natural white stones abundant nearby. The wall is 60 meters high and the whole body is snow-white, so it is also called White City. The gate is made of composite armor plates of equal height. In addition, the designers of the Rock City at that time added some additional systems to resisting impact to the gate, making it almost impossible to blow the gate with external force.

This gate is known as the wall of sighs. It means that when the enemy arrives at the city, he also wants to look at the city and sigh.

As a vassal town of the city of rock, the three towns of Qi have their own advantages. The three towns are full of hotels and bars, giving travelers who have passed the time to relax. At the same time, there is a beer processing factory in the town of Yogi, so it is also known as the beer town. When travelers from south to north pass by Yogi, they always forget to drink a few cups of beer from the town's self-brewed beer.

It's just that now, neither Joqi Town nor the other two towns are extremely depressed. In addition to the arrival of winter, there is another important reason, which is the danger of pirates in the south of the mainland.

Old Bernard has heard that the pirates in the roaring bay not only hit the land, but also occupied the Cannon fortress. This is an incredible thing for the people in the town. After all, Cannon Fortress claims to have no iron walls, among which there are two knights, and its defense is only second only to the Rock City in the whole continent.

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

The combined army of three legions unexpectedly returned on the Eternal Mountains. Now, even the city of Cage has fallen into the hands of pirates, which is a huge threat to the north.

However, judging from the reaction of the town residents, everyone is not too impressed with this matter. After all, I heard from some travelers from the south that even after being occupied, the pirates did not do much damage the city, and even guaranteed food and water for the city residents. Their policies are much more relaxed than those ordered by the gentlemen in the Pope's Hall.

The most attractive thing is the treatment of workers there. I heard that an ordinary miner can receive the salary of two gold coins every month! You know, for families in the north, two gold coins are enough for a family's monthly food and clothing, while workers in the north often earn money only enough for families to barely live without food and clothing.

Of course, these topics can only be discussed in private. If the soldiers hear it, they will be taken away.
