big devil holmes

Chapter 268

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 lunatic who dared to invade this city would naturally be crushed with absolute majesty and firepower, leaving no scum left.

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

But only he himself knows what it means that the intruder is still alive under such terrible firepower. Recalling the contact station that was disconnected one after another in the past few minutes, the commander-in-chief felt chills all over his body, and, How could the other party escape from that building? How did the intruder quietly enter the underground pipeline under such terrible firepower suppression? And let such a terrifying person enter the intricate underground darkness, what would happen? What a frightening thing it would be.

He was pacing back and forth in the command room, his face livid. Only 5 minutes had passed since the alarm was sounded. In the first 2 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 of the empire were mobilizing at this juncture, planning to use suicide methods to add some chaos to the empire, but what surprised him was that there were only two invaders.

It was only after sneaking directly into the treatment room where Augustine the Great usually stayed, that he was discovered almost dangerously.

What kind of guy can do this kind of thing?

Thinking of this, he couldn't be more thankful that he hung up the speaker quickly just now, otherwise, would the soldiers in the city hear the slight tremor in his voice? At the same time, he was even more grateful that Emperor Augustine 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 10 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 realized that any situation beyond his expectations must be killed 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 indeed the case. The waterproofing system of this ancient city is extremely excellent and has not changed much 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, and 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 the Holy Light, the large demons could not tear open the cracks in the void, which meant that no one could survive the siege and pursuit of the four great demons, even Baskerville, who could fight against the big 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 directly to every corner of the city, and the long-term isolation from outside information is not conducive to guessing the target's action route, so in the end, the two of them still have to come to the surface.

A drainage fence was moved away soundlessly, and two shadows came out covertly. Facing the tight defense of the entire city, it was obviously unrealistic to keep hiding, so it only took 3 minutes, and the two were still killed after all. Found.

In the remaining few minutes, everything was staged again like the previous violent episode, but the suppressing force at this time was even more terrifying. The flames converged into bright beams of light, sprayed between the streets, and the walls of the buildings were blown away. In the dusty air, everything was torn into pitiful pieces, and in the streets of the ancient city, there was blood, explosions, screams, shadows passing by, and some 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 the several cars not far away, four serious-looking people got off. They wore the most common uniforms of the guards, but from the attitudes of the people around them, it can be seen that these four people have extremely strong personalities. 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 stood in a standard military posture and reported loudly.

The burly man didn't say much, because he came here with only one mission, which was to kill the two intruders. Although he still didn't know why there were only two people, and the third echelon was about to be dispatched, but A task is a task, as long as it is carried out, there is no need to know why.

So just listening to the sound of 'bang', the man has already accelerated on the spot, rushing towards the direction pointed by the soldier, and following his actions, the remaining three people also quickly followed in unison. 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.
