Lord of War

Chapter 647 Exchange (Subscription)

Thinking for a moment, Zero decided to suppress his doubts about Franklin's identity first. It's about his secret. Even if you ask the giant, you may not say it. It's better to talk about it later. Turning the topic, he said, "I heard from Cinderila that you have been to Ista. Then why are you here?"

Franklin rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to go to Ista?"

"Yes, I want to make a deal with the rebels." Zero ambiguity.

"Then you don't have to go." The giant sighed slightly and said, "I'm done with I'm out of there."

"What?"

During the meeting on the Destiny, Zero summoned Feng and others and Cindler to find out everything he heard about Ista from Franklin. Franklin did not hide in this regard, from the encounter between himself and the Knights of the Holy See, the intervention of the Iron Scorps, to Solon's secret cooperation with Di Paula and finally destroying Ista. However, Sauron concealed the matter of taking him away, simply saying that he was still chased by Sauron after escaping from Ista and fled to this sea to be saved.

But this does not prevent Zero from grasping Ista's current information, and also has a more intuitive understanding of Sauron's ability from the side. It can be seen from this matter that Sauron is not simple. The Iron scale and Dypola appear to be a chess piece that he had arranged for a long time, and have not been used until now. And in a thunderous way, the rebel headquarters was completely destroyed.

Next, the western continent will usher in the most turbulent era. The three corners of the papal chamber, pirates and rebels are like cornerstones. Now one corner has collapsed and the papal hall is powerful. Without the containment of the rebels, Sauron may soon attack the pirates. Then, Roaring Bay will no longer be a shelter for pirates.

It's just that the news of the destruction of Ista should not have spread, and few people have predicted the undercurrent of the times. When it was discovered that it had secretly flowed into a tsunami, it was too late to reverse the unchangeable fate.

"No, something has to be done!" Cinrera stood up. As one of the four major pirate groups, she naturally knew what the consequences would be caused by the destruction of Ista: "I have to go to the sea house immediately and must tell everyone about it. Especially Dipola, who turned out to be Sauron's lackey, can't be done like this!"

"Don't be impulsive." Zero grabbed her hand and said, "The news must be spread so that others can prepare in advance. But the time of transmission is very important, not to mention that your strength alone is not enough to deal with the Pope's Hall.

Franklin said that Sauron only destroyed Ista and killed the leader Ulson. Of course, many soldiers must have been killed on the rebel side. But don't forget that the remaining two leaders are not dead, and all the troops will not let Sauron and Di Bora clean up like this. In other words, they still retain some strength.

Zero looked at everyone and said, "I want to go to Ista, and Franklin also asked me to take him back. He said that Ista was indirectly destroyed in his hands, and it was necessary for him to go back to confirm the current situation of the rebels.

"After I come back from Ista, I will go to the Sea House with you to tell others the news. Believe me, we still have a lot of things to do, and Sauron will never sit down because of it. Because..." Zero looked at Clerella and said lightly, "I'm coming!"

Cindler stayed for a time and said, "Can you accompany me to the port of the ship?"

Nod, asked Feng to pass on his instructions, and asked Billy to ask Franklin for advice on the way to Ista. He and Cindler came to the side deck outside Destiny and faced the sea. Cindler suddenly turned around and said, "Who are you? Intervening in the disputes in our continent should not be the work of the so-called adventure merchants, right? What's more, your strength is far greater than a caravan should have!"

"Kid you put away your strength." Zero sat down on the deck and said lightly, "I know, Cinthera. You grew up in the war and would choose to be a pirate to resist the Pope's Hall. But you don't want outsiders like me to intervene and make things worse, so you will do anything to me when necessary, right?

Cdera bit her lips and said, "Yes, even because of this, I won't be happy in the future. But this continent is messy enough. I don't want you to make it more chaotic.

"You're wrong." Zero waved and motioned Cedera to sit next to him.

Cindella hesitated for a moment and sat down according to his words. Zero took her hand and kissed her gently, "Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you. Cinderella, my enemy is not here. It is not on any continent. It is so powerful that it needs to gather the power of all people to fight against it. For the Western Continent, I am indeed an outsider. But what I brought is not chaos, but order. Because I hope that the restored Western Continent can become my ally in the future and fight against that powerful enemy with me. This is not only for me, but also for the world.

"You may not understand now, but please follow me. I believe you will understand soon, and you can also supervise me. If you find that what I did violates what I said at this moment, you can take action against me at any time. Zero looked directly at Cinderella.

Cinderila looked at him after the land acquisition, and it took a long time to nod and said, "Okay, I believe you. But as you said, if one day I find that you deceive me, then we are enemies!"

"Don't worry, I won't let that moment come, my Queen." Zero stood up and learned from the tone of the pirates on the water demon.

Cinderella couldn't help laughing.

Zero said, "Let's go and see how Billy's waterway is going."

When the two came to the medical room, they just bumped into Billy and came out. Franklin's description was clear, allowing Billy to quickly draw the channel to Ista. At the speed of Destiny, they can reach Ista in three days. So Destiny bypassed the Sea House and followed the channel provided by Franklin to Ista.

At night, Destiny was moored near an isolated island. Haiwei and others couldn't sit on the boat, so they planned to go to the isolated island. Knowing that everyone would be busy in the future, Ling proposed to hold a banquet on the island. The crew were very happy to hear the news, and Zero also invited Franklin. The giant's injury was basically fine, not to mention that he didn't want to stay in the medical room, so he readily accepted it.

Only when he walked out of the medical room, Franklin had an obvious sign. When he came to the isolated island to watch the Destiny, Franklin couldn't help trembling all over.

"Frightened, big man." Feng just took some food from the Destiny. Seeing Franklin like this, he smiled and said, "Our boat is different from ordinary ones."

"Yes, I was really scared." Franklin lowered his head and his hands were still shaking gently.

The zero next to it is thoughtful.

Soon, everyone set a bonfire on the beach of the isolated island. Feng and Kaiton also went to the island to roast a few strange beasts. The crew enjoyed eating. They hadn't relaxed like this for a long time. In the end, these guys simply did not return to the ship, but set up a marching tent and slept on the beach.

Zero is no exception, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up. Zero quietly walked out of the tent and happened to see the fate rise and fall slightly on the water under the dark red skylight. A huge figure jumped onto the ship's deck and then entered the Destiny.

It was Franklin. He did not use the pass key, but pressed his palm on the ship with the original zero, and the Destiny opened the entrance and exit for him. There were other people on the ship, but they all fell asleep at this time. What's more, Franklin landed silently, and the tall figure followed the main passage of the spacecraft to the control room, which was completely unknown.

He walked into the control room and went straight to the operating table. Franklin kept sliding on the light screen of the console. If Billy was next to him now, he would definitely jump up with excitement, because the weapon system that he and Dr. Corder could not decode, but it was untied one by one in Franklin's complex operation. The light screen shows one by one, except for the particle beam main gun, an anti-matter cannon and other weapon platforms on both sides of the bow have changed from a red unusable state to a green activation state.

Franklin retrieved other systems and finally said to himself, "Very good, all weapons can still be used. Although the efficiency of the energy system is not as good as before, it is also good. With it, maybe we can save everyone..."

"That won't work."

Suddenly, another sound sounded at the door of the control room, and Franklin suddenly turned around. After the dark control room door, Ling came out. Looking down at Franklin on the captain's platform, he said, "We took a lot of effort to put the Destiny into use. Anyway, we can't let Mr. Franklin drive away at will, can we?"

"Fate?" Franklin said, "Is this its current name? Fate... Hey, it's also appropriate."

Let's talk about you, Mr. Franklin. The weapon system that our engineers have been unable to decode has been opened for you a few times. It seems that you are familiar with this last-epoch spacecraft. So can I speculate that Mr. Franklin is not from this era? Zero said lightly.

Under the control room, Franklin fell silent. But as his eyes gradually turned red, a rough and thick power also quietly emanated. Zero shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Franklin. I have no intention of pursuing your identity. There are too many strange things in this world. No matter how many people you don't belong to this era. I'm sorry to eavesdrop on your words, but your words just now seem to mean to save some people. Of course, these people are your compatriots..."

"You went to Ista before, that is to say, you want to have some kind of cooperation with the rebels in exchange for the opportunity to save your compatriots. Since the target of cooperation is the rebels, your enemy is naturally the Pope's Hall? Zero showed a faint smile: "If it is the Pope's Hall, then our goal is the same. I think you may also cooperate with me."

Franklin looked at Zero carefully, and he had to admit that Zero was very smart. His words alone have inferred the outline of the whole incident, and zero shows that he did not delve into his identity, which won Franklin's favor. So he nodded and said, "How do you want to cooperate?"

Zero said lightly: "It's very simple. There is still a deputy captain on my ship. Franklin is also very familiar with the system of Destiny. If you are willing to join, I believe that the performance of Destiny can be greatly improved. Of course, I hope you can tell my engineer how to operate Destiny. In return, how about I help you save those compatriots?

Franklin thought for a moment and nodded, "It's fair. I can't think of a reason to refuse."

"Welcome, our vice captain." Zero smile said.

Three days later, Destiny passed through the natural tunnel of Xianyue Island and arrived at the inner bay and saw Ista from afar. During these three days, the people on the ship were shocked. First, Franklin suddenly became the vice captain of Destiny, and then he began to guide several engineers, including Billy, to understand some of the originally encrypted systems of Destiny. Under Franklin's guidance, the operators of the control room were finally able to use other weapon systems. After Billy's evaluation, the performance of Destiny has improved by at least 50%.

And how Franklin can decipher the encrypted systems of Destiny, Zero only gives an explanation that their vice captain is also a weapons engineer. Naturally, no one will really believe this explanation, but since Zero doesn't want to say it, others won't ask. After all, everyone has more or less humane secrets.

Compared with Franklin's identity, the appearance of Ista shocked everyone's eyes more. On the three windows of the control room of Destiny, you can see that the burning flames on Ista have been extinguished. But there are still smoke columns rising on the island, and the scene after the disaster. Franklin has been to Ista before, and now he has visited his hometown again and has the deepest feeling.

Especially the calm inner bay before Xianyue Island, now because Ista is divided into two, resulting in the change of ocean currents in the sea, so the previously calm inner bay is now turbulent. Before that, the natural whirlpools on both sides of Xianyue Island also disappeared, causing the rebel base to lose the protection of natural barriers. If the Pope's Hall comes at this time, Ista will be exposed to the gunpoint of the Order of the Holy Seal.

Seeing this scene, everyone had an idea: Ista is over!

Ista has now been divided into two peninsulas in the east and west. On the East Peninsula Pier facing the inner bay of Xianyue Island, the sinker is under repair. Since chasing the end of the scales a few days ago, they didn't return to Ista until two days ago. The damage of the sinker is not serious, but the air waves caused by Sauron's string moon vacuum chopping and broken air bombs have pressed across a mast on the ship and some scattered parts of the hull.

Now that Ulson is dead, Jesse and Oran are collecting the remnants of Ista's manpower. Sauron's attack is vicious. Compared with other losses, the most tragic loss is the damage of the leader, followed by the destruction of nuclear power plants and fertile towers at the north and south ends. The nuclear power plant is the source of energy supply in Ista, and the tower of abundance is the command center. The former is like blood, while the latter is the brain. Now that the blood has been cut off and the brain no longer exists, the steel giant Ista naturally collapses.

At present, the remaining two giants work together. Jesse collects fighters, and Oran urgently forms a temporary combat team. Of course, the two can no longer be compared with the past in terms of scale and ability.

Ista has died in name and reality, and the division of the island has led to the change of the sea currents, making the previous natural barrier quietly disappear. The island can't stay any longer, otherwise as long as the Pope's Hall dispatched two or three knights, they can eat up all their remaining strength. The combat team led by Oran provided several plans, and only two of these plans are more suitable.

One is to choose another base area and start all over from the beginning; the second is to turn it to zero, and all the staff will penetrate into the Western Continent, and then continue the previous " Harvest Plan" in a different way through the cooperation of the insiders's Hall.

In the two plans, Jesse and Oran unanimously decided to choose the latter. After all, it is time-consuming and laborious to choose another base, and it is impossible to rebuild a base of the size of Ista in ten years. And now, they can't wait that long.

Since the second plan has been chosen, the remnants of the rebels now have to be mobilized. It takes a certain amount of time to recover all available materials, gather remnants, and prepare ships to migrate to the mainland.

Therefore, when Destiny entered the inner bay of Xianyue Island, the pier of the East Ista Peninsula presented a busy scene. On the sinking observatory moored at Pier 3, Destiny quickly found the soldiers above and transmitted the news to Jesse. After a while, Jesse returned to the dock from the inner island and boarded the warship. After taking the telescope from the soldier and looking into the inner bay, Destiny immediately appeared in Jesse's eyes.

"There is no flag, I don't know if it's a pirate or a person from the Pope's Hall. But the ship looks very strange. Is the blue flame an energy propulsion system? There should be no such technology for pirates, so there is a lot of possibility in the Pope's Hall!" Jesse put down the telescope and shouted, "Let the heavy gunners at the dock prepare, and fire for me as soon as the enemy ship enters the shooting range!" Others are ready to fight..."

"Can you hear me?"

Jesi was giving the order when a huge voice suddenly came from the inner bay: "Mrs of Ista, don't get me wrong! I'm Franklin. I'm back to see if there's anything I can do to help! I beg you to let my boat dock!"

On the side deck of the Destiny, Franklin roared at Ista with his huge voice. The giant's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the inner bay.

Jessie looked with a telescope. Sure enough, there was a tall figure standing on the strange ship. It was the giant Franklin they brought back from the Roaring Bay not long ago. But looking at the giant, Jesse gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about him! It is because of him that we gave Sauron the opportunity to take advantage of. Maybe he is also Sauron's lackey like Dipola! Don't relax, everyone, wipe my eyes!"

On the Destiny, the fort on the other side's dock was still aimed at this direction. Now he said, "It seems that they are not so friendly. There's nothing they can do. In this, they can only land by force."
