Tyra, your ancestors are back!

Shaking his head, Silver Wolf clicked on the virtual screen in front of him in front of the gate of an underground passage, and then the closed gate was hacked and slowly opened——

"Waiting for a grand consul or his spokesperson to come here? Or...?"

"No...we should all return to our missions, Silver Wolf——I'm going back to Lateran to meet the two ladies Ishmael and Aponia. Lateran has also made new moves recently, and I'm afraid There are also instructions from those few."

"And you are going back to the Eastern Kingdom. The "Silver Wing" lady who looks somewhat similar to you is also waiting for your report."

"Who looks the same as that guy?"

Immediately, Miss Kafka was scolded by her colleagues.

"Ah...Sorry, it's really a little different."

The purple-haired beauty took a look at her companion's poor heart, and nodded meaningfully.

"###....Do you believe I'm going to punch a few holes in you right now...Dear Ms. Kafka?!"

Seeing his companion's undisguised expression, the veins on Silver Wolf's forehead immediately tensed up.

"Forget it... see you next time, Silver Wolf."

Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the exit of the city's circulation system. Outside the pipe was the endless wilderness....

"Oh, here they come."

The two looked up, and through the not-so-thick clouds, a formation composed of a pioneer large transport plane and a pioneer gunboat had quietly approached the sky above the city.

Chapter 167 Paganism and Miss Libra

Underground Vault of Chernobog Cathedral

The commander of the Apocalypse Church, known as the existence of paganism, looked at the situation map of the current battlefield with great interest, and did not give any instructions. The woman with black and purple hair naturally heard the announcement from the forerunner AI——

There is no doubt that the current anti-stress monsters in the city have changed from the official Ursas to the organization of the Day of Heart Calling——

The locked gates and most of the passages meant that this group of people had nowhere to escape. Evacuation from the city's circulation system was certainly a way out, but how long could a group of this size hide in the wasteland of Ursas?

However, Ursus, who was attacked in a city, would probably not let the church go. Even if only the members of the Day of Calling Heart were the only ones who attacked those civilians indiscriminately, those Ursas army full of military exploits would not fight with themselves. Talk about these.

In their eyes, no matter whether it is the Church of Apocalypse or the Day of Calling the Heart, it is the same - only by regaining control of the city can they escape and ascend to heaven, or drive the city to find another way out...Of course they lurk again in the city Also a good choice.

Hmm...Maybe it would be a bold choice to drive this mobile city and head straight into the frontier of Yan Kingdom or Kazdel to find a frontier city to finish bumper cars?After all, the nobles of Ursus have longed for a war from the beginning.

A Chernobog must be an acceptable price for them.

-------------------------------------

"grown ups?"

The woman's thoughts and murmurs spinning at high speed were quickly interrupted by the adjutant's words, and her thoughts that were flying into the sky were brought back to reality by the latter's report——

"Speak, Adjutant."

"Master Pagan, the troops of the Day of Calling the Heart have broken away from our entanglement, and are defending the research institute that is concentrating their forces to attack Chernobog. Do we need to pursue them?"

"Oh? Looks like they want to regain control of the city, either by destroying or intimidating the creations of the Forerunners—"

"Adjutant, please inform our regular troops to concentrate their main force on attacking the core tower, and allocate a small amount of force to attack the Institute's Heart-Calling Sun troops."

"Er.. that's it? Um... heathen, we don't do anything more?"

In the basement of the church, a communications officer froze for a moment.

"We...? To be on the safe side, we should retreat or hide, adjutant—the winner of this operation probably won't be born between us and them. It is not a wise choice for both sides to suffer."

"The rest is just a gamble. A real gambler would not put himself as a chip on the poker table... Besides, this is hardly a gamble—I'm afraid the commander of the day that called the heart dizzy."

The "heretic" who threw various documents into the illuminated stove and motioned to the soldiers on the side to box up and transport away the various command equipment on the table, shook his head.

"Then why do you want to let the troops composed of those believers attack the research institute and the core tower...?"

"It's nothing more than covering up our whereabouts - the high-power distress signal sent by the saint's creation just now directly burned down our operating communication equipment, and also destroyed the interference devices arranged by the members of the Sun of the Heart."

Pagan, who carried a portable communication radio on his back, dialed several dedicated channels, and the harsh rustling sound had completely disappeared.

"Very well, it seems that they have no way to repair the unknown jamming device... Now we leave the city immediately and continue to command these troops from the periphery."

The commander known as Pagan nodded in satisfaction, and waved to the members of the command post, gesturing for everyone to prepare to transfer.

"And... the confrontation with the Day of Heart Calling itself is not in our plan-we are here to prevent those radical factions from causing massacres...their actions will push all the Apocalypse Church factions throughout Terra to An unjust place..."

"The only good thing is that although this group of radicals occupies the vast majority of the members of the entire Apocalypse Church, they are unexpectedly not very popular in Ursas..."

Seemingly thinking of something, the so-called pagan commander shook his head slightly——

"That's right, who would dream of lying down and begging for food in the Ursus Empire-nobles? Huh... Maybe it's time for our faction to cut off from these mad dogs, what do you think? Adjutant."

When asked, the latter shrugged nonchalantly.

"Hmm... But it seems that their main force didn't receive the news of the Chernobog route change, or did they send it out in time?"

"That's right, Paganism, according to the feedback from the front-line commanders, we only wiped out a small group of radical forces in the early days, and we never saw them again--yes, Paganism...Why did you let After annihilating these radicals, the troops launched an attack on the troops of the Sun of the Heart?"

"We can hide it again and fake the attack as a large-scale brawl. With the current police force in Chernobog, they don't have the energy to manage us."

On the way to transfer, the adjutant tilted his head in confusion as he reported the battle situation, as if he still couldn’t understand why the commander would suddenly choose to attack in an all-out way, to assist Chernobog’s officials in a certain sense.

"Adjutant, the troops of our faction come from the grassroots civilians of Ursus, even you and I are the same-and those troops of the Day of the Heart are attacking civilians indiscriminately, and this is enough."

"Don't forget, the vast majority of our faction is not because of the yearning for the forerunners, but because of dissatisfaction with the Ursas Empire today, and the church that we joined for a chance to resist—those yearning for the past of the forerunners, For our faction, there is really only hope left.”

"Ah... If our ancestors were to lead such a declining and rotten country as one of their successors, they would probably teach those with lofty ideals to change... Maybe even die personally?"

"And as I said before, our original purpose was to stop those guys from the Ursas branch of the church radicals from causing massacres in the city... the guys who can hit the day of calling the heart can only It can be said to be an accident.”

The black-purple-haired woman who was called a pagan shrugged, showing a somewhat amused expression.

"However, this accident also made me see an opportunity...Adjutant, an opportunity to blow away the "terror" that the Ursus had over their people—the power of the Ursus Empire in Chernobog So fragile....and its fall would be a [wind]"

"This gust of wind may take a long time, but it will eventually hang up a storm to tell the people of the Ursus Empire that this empire is not invincible as they imagined, and we will have countless opportunities to stand in the storm center of."

"—You know, the calmest place in the storm... is her center."

The pagan lady shook her head and looked at the adjutant again——

"Well, that's too far... Let's get on with the business, Adjutant..."

"Our current strength in Qiecheng is not enough to capture these two places at the same time - the core tower is also stationed with their elite troops. Not surprisingly, Menendez, the leader of the day of calling the heart, is currently in Chernobyl. For Berg, with an army of this size, he may have pulled out all the money he has hidden for these years."

"As for the research institute area, which is the core of the city's power, it was originally designed as a fortress. It would be difficult for us to counterattack against the Ursus garrison guarding the fortress and the attack of the Day of Heart Calling without using some inhumane weapons. Where, and where there are still civilians, the use of inhumane weapons is prohibited."

"So we'll just attack one of them with all our might... Ah, so that's it."

The adjutant showed an expression of sudden realization——

-------------------------------------

For today's Chernobog City, there is more than one control center, and even the control of the research institute is higher than the core tower——

Attacking the core tower with all its strength means giving up the research institute and betting that everything that happens in the research institute is not as the opponent wishes.

They can't convince the creations of the saints, so if they want this kind of city control, they have to destroy it, physically eliminate this supreme control, and return to the core tower to control the city.

But if they persuaded the creation of that ancestor...then the other party who occupied the core tower is the number one grudge; and vice versa for the other party.

Both regions must be in their own hands, otherwise this is a gamble.

But for the troops of the Apocalypse Church, they still have a lot of ways to retreat if they lose the bet, but if they win the bet——

[Driving a mobile city onto the Yan Kingdom’s border fortress, giving those old nobles a reason to go to war...a reason to eventually turn them back. 】

[Or...with this kind of city as the banner, start a revolution directly——The faction I lead can draw new forces from the civilian class and even the infected in the entire Ursus Empire, which has never been a small number. 】

[Perhaps it's too early for a change, but... there will always be "martyrs" on every road... isn't it? 】

"Ursus, oh Ursus...the mighty yet fragile Ursus Empire...my crumbling hometown—are you really going to stand the test of a new war...?"

"Or would your people be willing to go through it again?"

"——They are awakening, they are about to awaken..."

There was an inexplicable smile on Pagan's face—it seemed to have seen the end of the distant future.

But for the true outsiders, those members of the Day of Calling the Heart, they have no retreat, no reinforcements, and they have to gamble, and the gamble must win.

After all, a group of guys who speak Ursat with Colombian and Victorian accents, that's too obvious.

"Since they have chosen to attack the institute with all their strength, we will seize the core tower and add a lot of trouble to their progress in seizing the institute."

"But... paganism - what if they didn't convince the ancestors of their creation, but didn't choose to destroy it either?"

The adjutant raised another question - if they didn't blow up, wouldn't the situation be stuck here?

"That's not a bad situation either—they're at a stalemate...the Day of Heart Calling that captured the Institute is doomed to no longer have the force to recoil the core tower, and our troops are roughly the same—then, the The troops of Grand Duke Ursus will reach Chernobog in a stalemate...."

Pagan showed a strange smile to the adjutant on the side... The meaning seemed to be self-evident.

"The tenacious citizens of Chernobog fought heroically with homemade crude weapons. The city's invaders protected the Grand Duke's domain and protected the city's core area....But they are different, they are just invading By."

The adjutant nodded, as if he understood his boss's thoughts

"Adjutant—even if they finally persuade the ancestor's creation, this action will be a serious blow to their organization."

"And they still have a hurdle that is difficult to overcome - the Grand Duke of Ursas is sure that he will arrive in this city today... Even if the city deviates from the established original course not long ago, the Grand Duke's As long as there are no accidents, the troops will catch up quickly."

"The creation of that ancestor may be using lies to intimidate us "raiders"....But the edict of the Emperor Ursus and the Duke's troops will not, if there is no accident, if it arrives today, it will arrive today — late at most, but impossible not to be late.”

"By the way, inform our small part of the direct troops to blow up all the underground passages that can be retreated when they evacuate...that leader Menendez likes to put himself on the table so much...then never let him down."

"An idiot would bet against a lunatic with his life, let him go up alone... It's nothing more than to be able to name the forerunner, I think you should know who the leader of the day that calls the heart is. "

——not to mention...there is one of the most ominous or, in other words, the most beyond cognition...

In the true records of the Church of the Apocalypse, it is clearly recorded that the forerunners never rebelled after the unification. Is what the AI ​​manager released a recording...or a real order from those great beings?

Miss Pagan didn't want to gamble on the possibility that the probability was extremely low... After the announcement of X-07 resounded throughout the city, her own instinct kept warning herself to leave the city immediately.

And she resolutely chose to follow her inner thoughts - this almost prophetic ability has saved her several times.

And... being wiped out by those great beings as rebels sounds like a very bad thing...

The young pagan lady is at home, but there is still a problem child waiting to be fed - and the adjutant next to her suddenly remembered something and reminded the latter...

"By the way, Paganism... Just after the interference was lifted, a message was sent from the base..."

"what news?"

"Uh... Our sweetheart, the "cute" Miss Libra, ran away from home...? Maybe?"

Chapter 168 Fewer Clothes, Higher Defense!!!

The west side of the institute's first line of defense is crumbling...

Originally, because the Church of Apocalypse and the Day of Calling Heart attacked each other, the Ursus military police did not feel much pressure, but they were undoubtedly defeated by the latter's punch with all their strength.

After entanglement with another group of mysterious troops, the number of the enemy has been reduced to a similar number to that of the defenders. The same manpower, the same well-trained, but the crushing from the era of weapon technology has become the last one to break the balance straw.

The heavy defensive offensive did not bring much advantage to the military and police of Ursas—they lacked the heavy equipment that was really responsible for suppression, and the crossbow bolts in their hands could not penetrate the full-body armor of these troops of the Sun of the Heart, and only a few It takes a lucky arrow to get stuck in the gap between the protective gear and cause actual casualties.

The dying Ursus warrior was lying in the excavated trench. His abdomen was hit by those red light beams, which burned and melted a punch-sized hollow. The blood loss and pain made his consciousness gradually blurred until a kind of icy cold The dripping sensation brought his consciousness back to a little clarity...

The soldier opened his eyes and looked towards the sky, and expressed his last thoughts——

"It's raining..."

It's raining in the city right now—

To be precise, if there are bystanders, this is a general opposite description-there is rain in the sky that ordinary people can understand, and there are also meteor showers that ordinary people cannot understand...or "rain of steel".

——The conical airdrop pod is being separated from the belly of the large transport plane, and the "raindrops" engraved with long swords and eagle wings are falling towards the predetermined target, as if stars are falling—just like the memories of the people of Terra today natural disasters.

The ear-piercing whistling above the head made the attackers crazily attacking the Ursus military and police defensive positions and the stubborn defenders on the research institute positions subconsciously raise their heads...

Immediately, the judgment hammer fell——

While the huge impact crushed some unfortunate thugs into meat paste, it also drove out the attackers who were approaching the line of defense.

And amidst the smoke and dust that the landing pod smashed onto the ground, a cold and bright announcement resounded on the battlefield——

"You are charged with insurrection, massacre of civilians, unlawful use of lethal weapons, weaponization of civilian technology without permission, assault with intent to seize United Council property!"

"According to the council order - you will be wiped out, give up your ridiculous resistance, rebels! Killing yourself is the only contribution you can make to the joint council!"

"Any defense, resistance, or even escape that you make here! The precious time it wastes, which belongs to the Griffon Guard Legion--will be regarded as the sin you put down together!"
