Chapter 284 The Collapsed Beacon of Freedom

On the west side of the National Mall, Thunder Mage Joseph was temporarily entangled by two groundhog puppets taller than adults.

In front of the Washington Monument, Ronan was about to kill Benjamin, but he sensed the danger just before the fighter plane roaring from the sky locked on!

As the number one terrorist on the most wanted list in the United States, Ronan is extremely conscious.

America must want to kill him!
Ronan grabbed Benjamin, held it high above his head, and ran towards the entrance of the Washington Monument.

In the sky, the F16 has already locked on to Ronan, and the 20mm cannon below the fighter is spouting flames!
dong dong dong-

Among the four fighter planes, two of them attacked, their cannons were condescending, and the 20mm shells they fired were astonishingly powerful!
On the Washington Monument, large bullet holes appeared one after another!
A few shells fell and hit Benjamin, who was using Ronan as a shield!
This transcendent who is good at close combat has amazing physical strength!

But the unlucky holy ax warrior, how can he survive the serious injury!
Ronan got into the gate of the monument, and a voodoo substitute doll on his body kept cracking and cracking!
The roar of the plane engine was still ringing, and there was an iron ladder inside the monument. Ronan thought for a moment and rushed up the stairs.

I turned on my spirit vision halfway, and found that the guy holding the ax was dead!

He was hit by him and Lincoln continuously, and finally died in the cannon fire of the F16.

Ronan took the single-edged ax that was not ordinary at first glance, stuffed it into the space of the ring, and activated his spiritual vision, a golden halo appeared!

Throw away the corpse and harvest the soul fragments!
Soul fragments of the ancients +4!

This is a fourth order!
There is one more skill!
Tomahawk Master: The sacred ax used by Washington and Lincoln is a sharp weapon for melee combat!
Ronan couldn't help being surprised, this is the legendary Luoying Axe?
Then again, Lincoln also used an axe?

The fifty-story iron ladder is like a smooth path under Ronan's feet, and it is almost to the top in a few vertical jumps!

Ronan is going to give F16 a hard time at a high place!

On an F16 painted with a goshawk pattern, the pilot called again: "Nest, nest, here is the goshawk! The target escaped into the monument, please instruct!"

He didn't dare to bomb this place.

The command room at Andrew Air Force Base fell silent for an instant. The target person was most likely Ronan the Destroyer, but he ran into the Washington Monument, the most representative building in the United States.

Ordinary buildings or buildings will be bombed if they are bombed. Even if Americans are killed, there are many reasons and excuses.

Such as terrorists kidnapping hostages, detonating bombs and the like.

Anyway, Ying Jiang and Mao Xiong didn't do less to kill the hostages and make the terrorists unable to threaten them.

But this is the Washington Monument!

Beacon of the free world!

Can't it just blow up like this?

Even Garrett Walker, who was back online, was considering the pros and cons for a while.

To fry or not to fry, that is the question!
Garrett asked, "Where's the ground support team?"

The black general replied: "The second batch of reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Garrett breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait a little longer!"

They can wait patiently for more powerful ground forces to arrive, but some people can't wait!

…………

On the west side of the National Mall, sparks jumped all over Joseph's body, and his whole body was already wrapped in the surging current.

The powerful electromagnetic effect pushed Joseph off the ground and floated up!

The magnetic field pushes Joseph to float towards the monument!
Joseph's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, filled with silver and white lightning!
In the rear, the two groundhog puppets struggled forward, and they would never stop unless they scratched their paws on Joseph!
Rumble!
Lightning fell from the sky, and lightning with the thickness of human legs struck the bodies of two groundhog puppets. The puppet bodies made of stone and strengthened by demonized obsidian finally had a limit to bear!

After a burst of lightning, the two groundhog puppets burst into piles of rubble, and green smoke rose!

Even the chance to self-destruct is not left to the rock golem!
This thunder mage Franklin's student is more powerful than the holy ax warrior Benjamin!

In the sky, thunderclouds gathered, blocking the sun!
The dark sky sank, as if it was pressing on the top of the head, and the fine lightning began to jump among the dark clouds!
Thunderclouds cover the sky above the Washington Monument!

In this short period of time, stimulated by Benjamin's death, Joseph Hamilton seemed to have regained the strength of the fourth-order peak!

Mage, can be called a representative profession of supernatural power!
Its power is self-evident!

Joseph forcibly enhances his magic power to avenge his old friend by striking the Washington Monument with lightning!

As for the Washington Monument, the special meaning it has been endowed with for more than 100 years, Joseph, who just woke up, didn't particularly understand it.

In his time, whether it was the British, enemies in the south, or Indians in the west, only dead enemies were good enemies!

The ions are active, driving the wind to blow up, rolling up the fallen leaves and dust in the sky!

…………

At the same time, in the Washington Monument, the terrorist Ronan, who was ready to teleport away at any time, ran all the way to the top of the monument.

There is a platform with more than 100 memorial stones and windows overlooking the city of Washington!

Ronan pulled down the window and jumped directly outside the tower. The wind blew his clothes and made a sound of hunting.

Overhead is cloudy, and F16 is circling high above!
There are red halos all over the square!

Ronan stretched out his palm, and countless red halos flew over!
Transcendents, ordinary policemen, elite agents, seal fighters...

The soul fragments increased by thousands in an instant!

The F16 fighter plane with Goshawk painted on the fuselage lowers its altitude, and the pilot is locking on the target!
Ronan discovered just now that the U.S. fighter planes only dare to use machine guns, but not surface-to-air missiles. Obviously, they have scruples about the Washington Monument!

Of course, at a critical moment, no one dares to doubt the determination of the American authorities!
Compared with missiles, Ronan has much less concerns about machine guns!

Seeing that F16 lowered the altitude, the desired object still did not appear in the vision of Lingshi. The dark clouds in the sky weighed down even more, and lightning would fall at any moment.

Ronan sprinted at high speed, took two steps towards the run-up, and stomped hard on the stone at the top of the obelisk!

At this moment, Ronan's full strength exploded, and the 3300-pound stone on the top of the obelisk was crushed by his foot!
The gravel fell down before the lightning!

The person suddenly rises up and soars into the sky!

On the F16, the pilot pressed his finger on the fire button!

But under the vision of the spirit vision, Ronan saw the golden line extending above the cockpit!
That is the thread of fate!

New abilities gained by advancing to The Destroyer!
Ronan stretched out his hand in the air, and made a plucking movement like playing a piano!
The thread of fate moved!
Ronan turned and rolled, and fell downwards!

The overwhelming dark clouds gathered to the limit at this time, Joseph's eyes filled with silver and white light, accurately captured Ronan's whereabouts!
He raised his hands up, then pulled them down suddenly, and the ancient Latin incantation said: "Thousands of thunder!"

Rumble!Rumble——

Countless bolts of lightning fell, many of which were as thick as a human waist!

But Ronan's figure disappeared!
Before the thunder falls, it disappears out of thin air!

All the thunder light fell on the Washington Monument, and the [-]-meter-high obelisk was riddled with holes and scars!
The Washington Monument is crumbling!

Joseph seemed to lose his strength, the light on his body dissipated, and he fell to the ground with a thud, unable to get up.

A few strands of white hair blown away with the wind!

Emma hurried over to check the situation.

This is a very smart woman with mediocre strength, but she has escaped several catastrophes and survived successfully!
And her colleagues, the soldiers of SEAL Team [-] who accompanied her, have all died in the line of duty!
The thunderclouds in the sky came and went quickly. Emma heard the roar of the plane's engine, and the huge noise was getting closer!
Looking up at the sky, I saw an F16 falling from the sky, as if out of control, crashing into the Washington Monument!

On the fighter plane painted Goshawk, the pilot didn't know why the plane suddenly lost control, shouting: "Nest! Nest! Goshawk out of control! Goshawk out of control!"

When you're done, catapult and skydive!
The person ejected, but the parachute did not open!

The pilot fell straight down, hit the ground, and fell into a meatloaf!
Almost at the same time, the plane plunged straight into the lower middle of the Washington Monument!
Rumbling--

The plane exploded into a fireball!
The oil was burning crazily, and the gravel kept falling!
Under normal circumstances, a sturdy marble monument could possibly withstand this impact!

But today, the obelisk suffered too much damage!

The Apache collided and exploded out of control, the Transcendent slammed violently, and the Thunder Mage launched a magic attack with all his strength...

After these three times, Obelisk was seriously injured!
F16 is the last knife in the heart!
After the explosion, large chunks of marble fell down.

The cracks spread like a spider web, connecting with the previous cracks.

Click!Click——

The crackling sound kept ringing, and it couldn't stop at all!
The Washington Monument tilted to one side at a speed visible to the naked eye and began to collapse!
When the damage has been endured to the limit, this stele made of pure marble can no longer stand upright!

Near, far, and farther away, countless Americans were dumbfounded and speechless!

The TV station that rushed over broadcast the helicopter live, and could only hear the voice of the reporter shouting "God" continuously!

However, these people, none of this, can prevent the Washington Monument from collapsing!
Rumbling--

Amidst a loud bang, it was as if 911/[-] had reappeared back then. The Washington Monument collapsed, and the smoke and dust scattered in all directions.

Emma stared blankly over there. The lighthouse of the free and democratic world just collapsed like this?Just fell like this?

How could the United States suffer from such a catastrophe?
This woman was really extraordinary. She helped Joseph behind a stone platform facing away from the Washington Monument, rushed out through the dust, searched several corpses in succession, found a usable mobile phone from a policeman, and ran back quickly.

The incident is so big that it can't end, and the United States will definitely take revenge!

Emma quickly asked: "Master, that person disappeared out of thin air, where did he go?"

Joseph is a mage who knows a lot about spells. He panted and said, "It's a spell or witchcraft that instantly changes the location. That person can't go far. The treasure is here. What he wants must be Treasure!"

Combined with the theft of the "Declaration of Independence", Joseph couldn't think of other possibilities, and pointed to the ground: "He is under the square! The treasure is hidden in a cave deep underground! Quick! Someone stop him! The treasure hidden by the founding fathers , must not fall into the hands of the enemies of America!"

Emma didn't ask any more questions, and immediately made a few calls, and after several transfers, she finally contacted the command post of the Andrew Air Force Base.

"I'm sure, that's Ronan the Destroyer!" She hasn't met the person in person, but only read the information, so she is not completely sure, but this terrorist is extremely vicious and destroyed the Washington Monument. Who else is there besides Ronan the Destroyer? ?

The United States is the yearning land of the whole world, that is, Ronan the Destroyer and those terrorists in the Middle East are so hostile to the United States.

Emma said: "We suffered heavy casualties, the Washington Monument collapsed, more than a hundred soldiers, secret agents and police died, and an F16 fighter plane crashed..."

She raised her voice: "Ronan the Destroyer didn't leave, he was in the rock cave deep underground in Washington Square, trying to steal the national treasure left by the founding fathers!"

…………

In the command room of Andrew Air Force Base, it was extremely quiet at this time.

For America, the treasures of the founding fathers are no longer important!

Few people even cared about the treasure.

The focus of everyone's attention is Ronan the Destroyer reappearing in Washington, creating a horrific terrorist attack!
Ronan must be killed!

On this point, the generals present and the members of the White House in the communication channel can reach a consensus even without any communication!
"Steven, can you find out exactly where Ronan the Destroyer is underground?" Garrett Walker asked.

The black general replied: "We need to prepare in advance, we don't have enough preparation time."

Garrett continued to ask, "Hawk, where's your Transcendent? Where's your Divine Blood Warrior?"

General Hawke was named and couldn't push it out, so he said bravely: "They are rushing to the National Mall by land!"

The three Apache helicopter gunships that were the vanguard were shot down, and the Special Affairs Bureau immediately became cautious, preferring to be slower and more stable.

What if, like in Yellowstone Park, there are other ambushes in the middle?
This is Washington, D.C., and there are American residents everywhere. How to check in such a short time?

General Hawke didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that Ronan the Destroyer was a terrible enemy!

The most terrifying thing is that this person doesn't care about doing anything to America!

If the weapon in his hand is powerful enough, Hawk has no doubt that Ronan the Destroyer would dare to sink the North American continent into the sea!

A super terrorist scarier than turning off the lights!
Up to now, Hawke couldn't help scolding in his heart: The CIA is a bunch of pigs!
Garrett Walker is still asking the generals of the United States, but in a short period of time, it is difficult to come up with a particularly effective solution. He can only wait for the support on the ground to arrive, go underground to block Ronan the Destroyer, and completely eliminate this terror molecular!
No one mentioned nuclear bombs, ground penetrating bombs or cloud bombs. This is Washington, the administrative center of the United States!

Who dares to throw these things in their lair?

The support forces on land are pouring into the National Mall on a large scale, from east to west, from south to north, all blocked!
Someone once said that if a fly flies in front of the third brother, they have to cover their buttocks.

It's not that exaggerated here, at most, even if there are flies flying by, male and female must be separated!

…………

A little earlier, thunder fell from the sky, and Ronan's figure disappeared.

The next moment, a person appeared in the dark underground passage!
In the bag Ilsa wears, there is a teleportation beacon that Ronan has set in advance.

Seeing Ronan appear, Ilsa immediately took out the radio, oxygen cylinder and mask and handed them to Ronan, and Ronan put them on immediately!

This place has penetrated deep into the cracks in the bedrock strata. Ronan observed it briefly and felt it, and said, "Wait a moment!"

Ilsa asked, "How's the situation up there?"

Ronan went to sense the two small groundhog puppets that had been abandoned before, and ordered them to dig over quickly, saying: "I killed a fourth-order, and the thunder mage summoned the thunder cloud, so I hurried down."

Rumbling--

There seemed to be the sound of something collapsing overhead.

Ilsa knows Ronan's style: "What did you blow up?"

"It's not me!" Ronan thought of the thick thundercloud gathered above the obelisk, and said, "It should be the Washington Monument that collapsed..."

Ilsa said in her heart: "The more we play, the bigger it is!"

Thinking of what she did today, she is even more eager to be promoted. The second-order peak is very strong, but in the battle just now, it is not enough!

Two small groundhog puppets had already stopped near the bedrock, but now they dug through the soil and rolled down a semi-natural passage.

Ronan took out the C4s that had been set up, tied them directly, and gave instructions to let the two puppets return to the soil layer at the entrance of the passage.

That's right under the Lincoln Memorial!
Ronan speculated that no matter how crazy the Americans are, it is impossible to use weapons of mass destruction such as tactical nuclear bombs, cloud bombs, or heavy ground-penetrating bombs at the core of Washington, DC.

It is very possible to send elite forces deep underground to encircle him and Ilsa.

"Let's go!" Ronan led the way and rushed underground along the passage.

On the way, at multiple key nodes, dig up stones and set up shock bombs!

The two were moving very fast, and soon the terrain ahead was clear. Ilsa turned on a fluorescent stick and threw it down!
At the end of the passage is a huge natural underground cave, which is almost half the size of a football field. There are many metal boxes piled up near this side of the cave!

Ilsa threw several fluorescent sticks down again.

It may be due to the lack of ventilation and air, the rust of the tin box is not serious.

Ronan jumped straight down, at a height of more than 20 meters, and fell to the ground without making a sound.

Ilsa followed and immediately opened the lid of the nearest box, and the strong flashlight shone on it, reflecting golden light!

All gold bricks!

Gold bricks of uniform size, imprinted with the emblem of the Knights Templar!
Another tin box was opened, it was still gold bricks!

Open it again, still the same.

With Ilsa's calm state of mind, she couldn't help jumping for joy at this time: "Ronan, we've made a fortune!"

Without further ado, Ronan stuffed it into the ring space!
Ilsa's movements were also not slow. She opened a box and took a look, then stuffed it into the badge space.

The tin box is not too big, because it contains gold bricks, so it is extremely heavy.

There is a wooden box at the back, which is several times larger in size. When opened, it contains exquisite gold and silver utensils. The weight is far from gold bricks, but it can be regarded as a work of art.

Going forward, more things appear.

Coats of arms and crowns made of gold and precious stones, huge marble or bronze statues, chests of precious stones, holy deeds of churches, staffs encrusted with precious stones, etc.

This is part of the wealth collected by the Knights Templar that year.

Ronan and Ilsa didn't have time to look carefully, so they searched as fast as possible!

Soon, Ronan's ring space and the two badge spaces carried by Ilsa were all filled.

Among the natural rock caves, only the huge statues remain.

These things take up too much space, Ronan and Ilsa glanced at them, and basically did not move.

Ronan took out the bomb, adjusted it to a shock blast, and placed it in several hidden places.

The groundhog puppet that fell originally also had C4 installed!

With his explosives expert ability, it is not difficult to connect the detonation of C4 with the self-destruction of the groundhog.

At this moment, the groundhog puppet hiding in the foundation below the Lincoln Memorial sensed movement on the ground, and it seemed that a large group of people was preparing to come down.

After setting the last two bombs, Ronan grabbed Ilsa: "Let's go!"

Ilsa nodded: "Go!"

The two figures blurred instantly, and appeared on the west bank of the Potomac River the next moment!
…………

The Secret Service and the elite agents of the Secret Service, the National Guard from the Andrew base, and the Washington police on the outermost perimeter surrounded the lawn on the west side of the Lincoln Memorial.

The captain of the Marine Corps, nicknamed the Lighthouse, was authorized by his superiors to be fully responsible for the elimination of terrorists here.

The crack forces from the Marine Corps, Secret Service, and Secret Service were immediately organized and ready to go underground.

At the same time, there are also strengthened fighters from the Special Affairs Bureau!
These enhanced people who were originally prisoners are responsible for finding the way!

On the edge of the woods behind the Lincoln Memorial, a huge hole leads to the depths of the ground. After scanning it with a scanner, it can only detect the shallow layer.

This is where the foundation of the memorial hall is located. There are many stones distributed in the shallow layer, and no traces of life have been found.

The cave is much deeper than imagined!
Dozens of elites who were fully armed were divided into two teams, front and rear, and entered the cave!

Soon, they discovered an ancient subterranean passage leading deep into the ground through a natural crack in the bedrock!
The White House is under tremendous pressure. If Ronan the Destroyer is not captured or killed today, it will be difficult to explain to the public!
The Andrew base received an order from the white house, and immediately ordered the lighthouse to lead the troops down!
No way, Ronan almost filled the hatred of America.

With him, the number one terrorist in the world, who has just destroyed half of the National Mall and the entire Washington Monument, the American authorities cannot continue to wait!

The underground passage is not easy to walk, but under the feet of the lighthouse and other elites, it is almost the same as the flat ground.

It didn't take long for these people to find an underground natural cave!

Keeping in alert formation, these people went down to the cave, and there was no one in it!
The lighthouse immediately reported to the superior: "We have reached the bottom of the cave, there is no way ahead, and no enemies have been found! No terrorists have been found!"

He glanced at the ground under the light: "But there are traces of heavy objects moving here!"

In the command room of Andrew Air Force Base, several generals were surprised when they heard the report.

General Hawke was the first to react, pressed the communicator and said, "Lighthouse! I am Hawke, and I order you to retreat immediately! Retreat now!"

There was no reply, but there was a booming explosion!
