War Lord

[Thanks to Marmot 237 for monthly ticket support! ! ]

The convoy stopped in front of a metal gate that closed the belly of the mountain. The city of New Rome was located among the mountains, just like the city of St. Louis. Compared with St. Louis, New Rome pays more attention to efficiency. Take the metal gate in front of you as an example, it can be seen that it has been around for many years. Its exterior paint has peeled off, and even the symbol of the Roman city on the door, the design of a Colosseum, has long been stained with rust by the moisture in the belly of the mountain for many years.

But apart from these, the metal gate, which is nearly twenty meters high, still gives people a heavy feeling that cannot be shaken. On the other hand, the city of St. Louis, even a gate creates that kind of aristocratic low-key luxury, but in terms of defense, it can't even match half of the gate of Rome.

In the middle of the mountain is a flat tunnel. The tunnel is large enough to accommodate several tanks running side by side. The space is extremely spacious. There are rows of red warning lights on both sides of the road shining out. There is no other lighting in the tunnel, but the red warning light already indicates where the road is heading.

There is a row of cameras above the gate, and now they are all pointed in the direction of the convoy. Obviously, the soldiers guarding the city are checking the identity of the arrivals. Soon, Paul's identity should have been confirmed, so the boom of the hydraulic and mechanical movements sounded from the mountainside. The belly of the mountain can be felt shaking slightly, and then the heavy metal gate is retracted and opened on both sides, but behind the gate is not as Zero had imagined, it is the sight of the city of Rome.

Behind the door turned out to be another empty space, and you can see another door of the same kind running across not far away. This new city of Rome was actually designed with double gates. The partition in the middle is like the function of an ancient city. When a foreign enemy invades, it can be trapped and fired again!

Sure enough, when the car drove through this not long passage, he noticed that a lot of firepower points could be arranged between the two city gates, and some things like pipes on the top obviously responded with high-energy energy. It can be seen that the city's designers paid great attention to the defensive capabilities of the city of Rome, and considering the current situation when the city was established, it is not surprising that there would be such a design.

It can be said that the defensive ability of New Roman City is very good, and even Asgart is still inferior in this regard. It's just that Asgart is not relying on cities and weapons to defend, and the group of capable people far more than New Roman City is the real power of that city.

After passing the first gate, the second gate no longer needs to be identified. After the car has not reached the gate, the gate has been separated from both sides. Behind the door was a bright world, and the motorcade drove into the bright light. After a brief period of discomfort, the eyes adjusted to the light, and he was able to see the scene in the city clearly.

Zero had imagined a variety of scenes, Paul's believers lined up to welcome, or Sauron's remnants of the party were facing each other, or even Gaia came alone. But none of these imaginary scenes appeared. What appeared was a scene he hadn't imagined.

In other words, even Paul never imagined such a scene after entering the city.

As many as hundreds of metal pillars are arranged in a column, erected on the ground not far from the city gate. On each metal pillar is an iron rope with a thick arm. The upper end of the iron rope is welded to the metal pillar, and the lower end is around the neck of a certain corpse. There are as many corpses as there are pillars! Right at the entrance, as many as hundreds of hanged corpses formed an extremely impactful picture. The expressions of unwillingness or anger of these people were fixed on this face before they died.

Paul rushed down from the car and came to a metal pillar in the front row of the city gate. There was an old man hanging on it, and he was still wearing a decent noble dress. But now, no matter how this old man was in his lifetime, he is just a corpse at the moment.

"Joseph..." I don't know if it is anger, fear, or both. Paul trembled lightly, and finally roared like a lion cub: "Who did this! Who has the courage to execute the old Joseph's family privately!"

The soldiers on both sides of the city gate bowed their heads and said nothing, when someone came over. He was wearing a cloak with a hood, hiding his head and face, but from the hood he heard a familiar voice: "Your Highness, it is not convenient to talk here, come with me first."

"Mendrisa..." From Paul's mouth, he said the name of another nobleman who could change the color of Rome.

In the end, the convoy did not drive into Paul's Papal Palace, but came to a warehouse near the city gate, and then never came out. If someone enters the warehouse now, they will find a few cars still parked there, but the people in the cars have disappeared.

After half an hour, Paul and Zero and others have arrived at Mendriza's secret stronghold in Rome. Above it is a famous bar in Rome. The Black Blood Bar is not the largest in Rome, but the most unscrupulous. Because the master behind it is Sauron, here no one will be held accountable no matter what happens. But even Paul didn’t think that the Mendrissa’s family actually built a stronghold under the Black Blood Bar, and the young Pope could not help but sigh in secret that they were all able to flourish in the city of Rome. Become a fine fox.

However, outside the gate of the city, there is a brood of foxes of all ages, big and small, to kill them all.

In a simple but very clean room. Mendriza took off his cap and cloak, revealing his original appearance. The cardinal looked haggard, his bags under his eyes turned black, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't slept peacefully. Apart from him, there are only Paul and Zero in the room. A pale, butler-like old man personally sent three glasses of water to the people in the room, and then backed off.

Mendriza said: "The place here is relatively simple, there is no good thing to greet the two, please don't be surprised."

He looked at Zero again, and after staring at him for a long time, he said, "I have heard of Mr. Zero's reputation from a very early time. This is the first time I have met. Speaking of which, I hated you earlier. Into the bone."

Mendriza handed his arms of water to Zero: "Did you kill Habes?"

Paul suddenly became a little nervous, and Habes, Mendriza's beloved son, was also the commander of the Seventh Army. When Sauron ordered an attack on Roaring Bay, he was buried in that battle. At that time, it was the first battle between zero and the Pope's Hall. After that, Zero's name gradually came into the vision of the upper echelons of the Pope's Hall.

"Well, Bishop Mendriza. At that time..."

Zero reached out, patted the back of Paul's hand, and motioned to him not to speak. Zero himself nodded and said, "Although I didn't kill it personally, you might as well count it on me."

Mendriza's chest rose and fell violently, and finally turned into a long sigh. He pulled out an exquisite golden pistol from the broad bishop's sleeves and put it on the table, saying: "Until now, I was still uncertain about whether or not to kill you. Although I know, it's mine alone. The ability and the special bullet in this pistol may not kill you, but Habes is my favorite child after all. As a father, the murderer is right in front of me. I really wish I was not the patriarch of the Kalki family, so at least I You can give it a go."

"Then the bishop's choice now?" Paul asked for Zero.

"Is there any choice." Mendrissa smiled bitterly: "I have seven sons and three daughters after a Habes died. Although their talents are not as good as those of Habes, as long as they are there, Kalki The blood of the family can continue. But if I do it, I won’t kill it. But because of his unhappiness, his Royal Highness Paul loses a powerful ally. Then I don’t need to do it with Mr. Zero, I will soon be here. The family will end up like old Joseph and the others."

Hearing this, Paul finally put aside his worries, knowing that Mendriza finally put the overall situation first and put down his private vengeance. But another thought came to mind: "Who killed the old Joseph?"

"Sauron!"

This time, with zero composure, he couldn't help but show a stunned look. He and Paul shouted almost at the same time: "This is impossible!"

Zero personally ended Sauron's life, and Sauron's body was cremated with his own eyes. But now, another Sauron has appeared in Rome. With Mendriza's identity and power, he would naturally not lie or admit his mistakes. As a result, this formed an insoluble contradiction.

"It's indeed Sauron..." Someone pushed in, but it was Feng who hadn't seen him for a long time. He nodded to Zero and said: "Just after His Royal Highness Paul left, I saw Sauron appear publicly and announced the ten major crimes of the old Joseph family. Then the Silver Hand Guard was dispatched and the family was captured directly. Arrested and hanged."

"But I killed him on Victoria Island!" Petty's fingers gently rubbed his brows and said: "What the **** is going on?"

"Bishop, please tell me the detailed process." Paul said.

Mendriza said in a deep voice: "Sauron’s crimes against the old Joseph’s family are nothing but a futility. I and the Oudsen family jointly asked Sauron to withdraw this order. But Sauron completely ignored our opposition and sent out the hand of Silver. On the surface, we can’t intervene in this matter, but we can still intervene secretly. Since Sauron’s accusations are too absurd and will shake the roots of the city of Rome, I reached a consensus with the Oudsen family and sent a total of 20 abilities. He went to Joseph's house and joined forces with his home masters to stop the Silver Hand from enforcing the law."

"But the surprise was far beyond our expectation. The guards of the Silver Hand are a little bit weaker, and if you want to come to His Royal Highness Paul, you should know. And there are more than 30 people who have the combined ability of my three parties, of which three are. A good hand of Tier 8. But even so, the Silver Hand was completely defeated. The whole process took less than half an hour, and the old Joseph's manor was almost razed by the battle..." Mendriza let out a sigh of relief, saying every word. : "According to our subsequent deliberation, the ranks of these Silver Hand guards are at least rank 8 or higher, and more likely to be close to or even rank 9 strength!"

"Impossible!" Paul stood up in shock: "The average strength of the Silver Hand Guardian is only about Tier 6, even if Sauron is back from the dead, where would he find a group of Tier 9 masters."

"No, the more weird ones are yet to come..." Mendrissa said with a solemn expression: "The abilities used by these Silver Hands are very similar to Sauron, even exactly the same..."

"Why... how could there be such a thing." Paul felt bitter in his mouth.

Imagine that a team of Sauron's level masters suddenly appeared. Wouldn't it mean that all their previous efforts were in vain?

Mendriza also smiled bitterly: "This battle is a miserable fight between me and the Oddsson family. I originally wanted to combine the strengths of my three families, and I could get rid of the old Joseph even if it didn't work. I didn't expect that I was the only one in my hand. A bit of capital also gave Sauron a bite, and now we dare not show up publicly, afraid that Sauron will also put us in a crime and then clear us out with a thunderous posture."

"Finally, when Your Highness and Mr. Zero arrive, then this matter may not turn around."

"Speaking of the protection of the Silver Hand, when on Victoria Island, Sauron also brought three mysterious high-ranking..." Ling Shen said: "Their abilities are the same as Sauron!"

"Then what's the matter? Sauron used his genes to create a biochemical warrior?" Paul frowned.

Zero looked at Mendriza: "Is there a chance to see these guards of the Silver Hand?"

"Of course there is. Now the Pope’s Hall has announced a new decree. Except for Sauron and the Knights, no other bishops or ministers like me are allowed to enter. There will be one or two silver hands outside the Pope’s Hall. Guardian, but Mr. Zero may not be convenient to show up in such a stately place." Mendriza thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow Sauron will gather in the square. In the last two days, he will always convene citizens to give speeches. At that time, there will be a team of silver. The hand appears, if Mr. Zero wants to observe them, he can do it tomorrow."

Nodded zero, and said: "I have an idea about the Sauron in the Pope's Hall. Will Sauron secretly cultivate one or two substitutes, because I'm sure that Sauron must not be real now. "

"It's not impossible, but if that's the case, then the double imitates too much. I have worked with Sauron for so many years, and I know his words and deeds very well. If this is a double now, then his The acting skills are simply superb." Mendriza said.

Paul stood up and said, "It's not impossible that this is possible. Let me let someone try to get this person's hair or something. Just check his dna and everything will be understood."

"But how do you get into the Pope's Hall?" Ling asked.

"I don't have to go in, and there may not be only silver hands in the Pope." Paul said confidently.

On the second day, as soon as the clock was pointing to seven o'clock, the city started broadcasting. Zero changed into a set of clothes Mendriza prepared for him, which was the ordinary clothes of the inhabitants of Rome. In addition, Mendriza also prepared some special things for Zero, including wigs and beards, as well as some silicone parts. When Zero came out of a house near the Black Blood Bar, he had already transformed into a strong middle-aged man.

The yellow-brown wig concealed his own hair color, and a circle of paste made him a lot of vicissitudes. Mendriza also carefully painted him thick eyebrows to match his shape at the moment. The most surprising thing is the silicone parts, they are closely attached to Zero's chest and shoulders, and then put on clothes to make Zero appear stronger, instead of the uniform and slender figure before.

This kind of disguise, unless someone who is very familiar with Zero, can stand up close and observe it. Today, the zero general is among the citizens, and the chance of being seen through is very low. He lowered his head and followed the crowd to the square. A moment later, the sound of the guard of honor sounded. Sauron, dressed in military uniform with a badge on his chest, appeared on the square.

Zero trace glanced at this Sauron, and it really didn't make any difference whether it was the size, the look in the eyes or the feeling. However, Zero still felt a little strange, but this feeling was very vague, and he didn't know where the problem was for the time being.

Looking at those silver hands again, with a glance, Zero knew that he was right. These people feel exactly the same as the three genetic warriors on Victoria Island, and their biggest special thing is that they give people a mechanical feel. Although these guards are now in the tactical uniforms of the Silver Hand and they wear tactical helmets on their faces, their precise synchronized movements cannot be concealed.

Now that it was certain, there was no use for Zero to stay in the square, so he quietly retreated. When he returned to Mendriza's stronghold, the cardinal had been waiting for him. Seeing zero coming in, he asked at the outset: "What's the situation?"

Zero nodded: "Those silver hands should be some kind of biochemical people made with Sauron's genes. They all have Sauron's strength. Of course, Sauron before. When I played against me on Victoria Island, they really Sauron has reached the tenth level early."

"Tenth order!" Mendriza suddenly smiled wryly: "So ~ www.readwn.com~ are you at least the level of the tenth order?"

"It's true." Zero said directly without intending to hide it from him.

After a while, Paul also came. He smiled and took out a small box with a few hairs in it: "These are the few hairs that fell on the pillow after our Lord Sauron woke up in the morning. I want to lose two of them, he will not Found it?"

Mendriza took it with one hand and said: "I will send someone to the test immediately, and there will be results in the afternoon at the latest."

Said and went in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Mendriza brought amazing news. The results of the test have come out, and the DNA of those hairs is exactly the same as that of Sauron!

Suddenly, things seemed to fall into a strange circle.

Looking at the laboratory report in hand, everyone fell into silence. Zero suddenly raised his head and said, "Perhaps we made a mistake from the beginning. From the nature of genes, the Sauron in front of him is indeed him. At the same time, there are many Saurons like this. For example...those Hands of Silver?"
