The hall, which had just held a quarterly wrap up meeting, was again full of people. Several cardinals and civilian officials stood in a line, opposite them were the officers of the Knights. Sauron still sat in his seat. Unlike the last meeting, the pope also sat next to Sauron this time. But the young Pope yawned on his face, as if he had no interest in such a meeting.
A light screen appeared over the hall, in which an image was playing. Looking at the picture in the image, everyone in the whole hall looked ugly, perhaps the Pope was an exception. The image is transmitted by thunder using a small function in the round table knight system. Of course, the image is not real-time. Canon had been captured and the news reached the city of Rome.
Now some important figures in Rome have gathered together to watch the images on the light screen faithfully record the process of Canon's capture. In this process, the important officials in these halls witnessed how the fortress, known as the iron wall, became fragmented under the strong measures of the invaders, especially the section where the city gate was broken, which was shocking.
The female swordsman who broke the city with her sword was not in any records of the western continent, and the means she showed were already visible to the naked eye, which showed that she was a high-level capable person, and she was of Solon's level. Next, the posture of zero one person breaking through the paladin's armor line was also deeply reflected in the eyes of the public, and the subsequent electromagnetic bomb surprised the officials and officers in the hall. They recognized that it was a special weapon developed by ISTA for the knight's armor.
But zero is not from ISTA.
Coupled with the description of the female swordsman and the survivors of the previous roaring Bay shot, everyone can be sure that people from other continents have come here. Otherwise, it is impossible to jump out of so many high-level on the western continent. This news is more shocking than the fall of Kanon fortress.
You know, after the great disaster, the exchanges between the mainland became very difficult and even impassable. If people from other continents come now, does it mean that the continent where these outsiders are located already has the means of long-distance navigation. If this speculation is true, it means that the era will enter a new page.
Of course, this will not be a pleasant thing. In today's resource poor world, long-range navigation will only be used for external aggression, not for delivering friendly olive branches.
Look at the images in the light screen. It's almost over. Under the image capture of the round table knight, everyone can clearly see that there is no one fighting against the round table knight, and the latter is still suppressed. Soon, with the drama of the picture, all the images finally ended.
The light screen rises.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive and everyone looked gray. This powerful intruder was able to fight the round table knights with one man's strength, and destroyed three generations of mecha. This fact is as heavy as a mountain and people can't think normally. In particular, Dr. Jane, the destruction of the mecha can only prove his incompetence. After all, when it was developed, he boasted that he could compete with the high-level strong.
But judging from the fact that the round table knight and the intruder were destroyed in less than three minutes, Dr. Jane's words were a slap in the face. His face was burning and his head was buried low. Even now the officials in the hall were attracted by the image, but the doctor felt their contemptuous eyes on his back.
Canon was captured and fewer than 500 soldiers escaped. The papal hall lost a fortress, two military commanders, thousands of soldiers and several important minerals. Whether it is dignity or economy, this is a heavy blow. The papal hall is like a giant, but now it is bent by a punch. If the color is not returned immediately, the cornerstone of the papal hall will be challenged as never before.
Sauron was unexpectedly not angry.
He is as deep as water, and he is completely different in peace. And those who know him, such as the leader of the guard, know that he is the real Sauron at this time. The irritability and capriciousness were just an illusion created by Thrawn to confuse his enemies. The real him is deep and good at calculation. Otherwise, how can a tyrant sit on the throne for 30 years? It is not just ISTA who wants to overthrow Sauron, but Sauron's throne has never wavered.
Until now, the throne seemed to shake because of the fall of canon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen this video. Has anyone told us what these invaders will do next? How do we respond?" Sauron's cold voice sounded, but under the cold, there was a heat like magma.
As soon as this went on, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some say that the invaders will rob all and then go away. After all, everyone knows that the papal hall will not let them go. No matter how strong they are, they can't compete with the whole city of Rome. Others say they are interested in the three oil well platforms controlled by the fortress. After all, these platforms are more precious than gold mines for this era.
There were different opinions for a time. They didn't calm down until Solon reached out his hand. Sauron's eyes flashed over the crowd. What was discussed loudly just now was basically bishops and civil officials, as well as a few officers from the Knights. As for the two army heads in the column, they were silent. The two army heads were Leo from the 2nd corps and frank from the 9th Corps.
Both armies were stationed in two important cities not far from Rome, and now Solon has been urgently called back. In just over a month, the Knights lost four military commanders, which may have happened only in that dark period in the history of Rome.
Sauron's eyes fell on Leo. The military commander was the same age as Sauron and was also a veteran from the dark ages like karomon. Now his hair is gray, but the head with a cold look has the same spirit of killing as in the past. Leo is a high-level capable person in the fire department. His command style is also general and believes in aggression like fire.
Seeing Sauron looking at himself, Leo knew it and said, "Sir, I think the real purpose of the invaders is to build Canon into a stronghold. A stronghold against us!"
As soon as Leo said something, someone jumped out and retorted, "Captain Leo, do you think that these invaders alone have the strength to fight against our whole Rome? We have also established a stronghold. With a wave of our army, we have not leveled them on the spot?"
Leo didn't look at it, and hummed: "The fortress is 8000 kilometers away from us. Judging from their combat power, it takes at least three or even more than four knights to completely annihilate them. At present, there are only eight Knights left in our complete establishment. The first regiment needs to guard Rome, and the 4th and 11th legions are stationed in fasero. The remaining major legions also have their own guard sites. To be honest, we can Enough to draw out four legions has been very reluctantly. "
"Besides, it takes time for the four legions to mobilize, assemble, and even equip the materials and logistics teams. After we gather our troops, it will take at least one month to go to Kanon 8000 kilometers away. One month is enough for them to build the most basic defense work and be ready to meet us. The key problem is if they I believe it's more convenient to rob fasero or other places just to pretend to plunder materials. Why do they choose canon? "Leo raised his head and looked at Sauron, but said to other officials as if: "Don't forget, where is canon? Yes, it's at the end of the blood stained Road, facing Rome from a distance. It's an obvious provocation!"
Leo's words are irrefutable. The officials who jumped out to interrupt have honestly returned to their position. Sauron nodded, obviously agreeing with Leo's words. He said in a deep voice: "Captain Leo, if you lead and give you another month to prepare, are you sure to pull the invaders out of canon?"
Leo took a deep look at Sauron, then said with a bitter smile: "only 50% of the assurance."
Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.
Sauron raised his hand, lowered his voice and asked, "why? Aren't the four legions enough to wipe out a small fortress?"
"That's enough in theory, but judging from the data of the two campaigns before and after, the invaders have a group of high-level capable people. We know that there are two strong people of level 9 alone. Lord Solon, you are also level 9. You should understand that the destructive power of level 9 is not on the same level as level 8. Our most fatal problem is that there are too few strong people of level 9 or even level 9." Leo pondered for a while and said, "if Lord Sauron is willing to join the war, the probability of success can be increased to 70%
In the final analysis, the reason why the victory rate is still not 100% is the lack of high-level talents. Solon can't rush into the war. He is the only nine ranks in Rome. This battle is not like the battle of ISTA. Solon was well prepared and took advantage of the convenience of sneak attack to pick out the whole ISTA at one fell swoop.
But even so, he left a King Arthur. You know, as an upgraded version of the round table knight, King Arthur himself is equivalent to a ninth rank knight.
Now, Sauron can't take part easily. In this frontal battle, even a veteran like Leo admits that there is no 100% chance of winning. If he still loses the battle, even if he successfully escapes back, the whole Roman city will be divided and collapsed. A defeated Sauron, even if he still has the ability, can't suppress the voice below.
In fact, the throne of Rome is not easy to sit. Sauron is like sitting on the crater. What suppresses the magma below is his strength and his invincible reputation. It can be seen that the emergence of these people poses a great threat to him, which can not be described too much.
At this time, a voice appeared in Sauron's mind without warning: "come to the palace to see me and bring the image data just now."
Sauron's pupils narrowed suddenly. In the Pope's eyes, he inadvertently clenched the handrail. So the metal handrail was completely deformed and left a deep handprint on it. Sauron was shocked and inexplicable. The voice just now belonged to the silver haired devil Gaia. It was the first time that he printed the voice directly in Sauron's mind. It looked like a means of high-level perceptual domain ability, but he had to put the voice How difficult it was to clearly convey to a senior, but Gaia did it easily.
Does this mean that it is easy for him to kill himself.
Sauron felt a tremor from the depths of his soul. Compared with Gaia, the threat posed by the invaders was less prominent. But Sauron didn't understand why Gaia was suddenly interested in the image data just now. Was there something important in it, but he ignored it.
The memory of people with advanced abilities is amazing, and Sauron is no exception. He quickly played back the image in his mind several times in a fast forward way, and the process was even only a few seconds. But Sauron didn't see anything that needed special attention until zero's face passed in the image. Sauron caught something and instantly fixed the image, so the deformed metal handrail was almost pulled down by Sauron from above!
Everyone in the hall looked at Sauron and didn't understand why the adult suddenly lost his manners. Solon, ignoring their feelings, stood up and said urgently, "the meeting is temporarily over. We'll discuss it tomorrow and end the meeting!"
Then he took wither away from the side door of the hall.
Sauron's heart was stormy. He knew why Gaia suddenly asked for the information. The intruder's face was somewhat similar to Gaia's. The difference is that the intruder has black hair and Gaia has silver hair. The former's right eye is golden, and the latter obviously has the same pupil on the left eye.
These two people are like two sides of a mirror. One black, one white, one right and one left!
In a shocked mood, Sauron came to the gate of the palace. He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and then pushed the door open with his hand. The door was full of darkness, and the light seemed to be refracted by something here, so the whole palace looked so gloomy and terrible. Sauron knew that Gaia had awakened and that the whole palace had become a nest of some evil beast.
Sauron stepped into the nest and was never happy. The door behind him was gently closed under the traction of invisible force. When those invisible force fields passed by Sauron, he felt depressed and his body felt heavy. This palace is full of Gaia's field, and this is his home. Solon also has fields. When fields cover each other, it will naturally produce exclusion.
Two different fields will compete for space, and the rules of understanding will be used to fight. The more and more advanced the rules, the greater the chance of defeating the opponent's field. In the unknown field of Gaia, there are several rules just felt by Sauron. God knows what secrets there are.
He didn't dare to explore for fear of causing Gaia's reaction.
When the idea came into being, Sauron suddenly trembled. He found that he had become timid and no longer had the courage and courage of his youth. At that time, Solon faced no less pressure than Gaia, but Solon fought desperately at that time, and even everything today. Today, however, only one Gaia made him give in.
Suddenly, Sauron knew he couldn't get rid of Gaia. The mood suddenly fell to the extreme, and the darkness in front of him separated from both sides like water, so Sauron saw Gaia.
The silver haired man had opened his eyes and a smile hung on his handsome face. This smile is perfect from any angle, but it gives Sauron a very unreal feeling, just like a human smile simulated by some intelligent AI. After staring for a long time, it gives rise to a gloomy feeling.
I don't know what is wrapped under the man's human coat?
"Play that image again," Gaia whispered.
Sauron said "as you wish", then turned his hand and took out a tablet brain, then played the image transmitted by thunder and handed it to Gaia.
Soon after reading it, Gaia put down his flat brain, leaned forward slightly and said to Solon, "go and bring this man. His priority is above Franklin. As long as you get him, Franklin is insignificant."
Sauron did not hide the surprise on his face. He was speechless for a long time. From the similar faces of the intruder and Gaia, Sauron can guess the importance of this man to Gaia. Unexpectedly, his importance was still above Franklin. Doesn't that mean that man is more important than the life of the last era?
After finishing his mood, Sauron bowed his head and said, "Lord Gaia, I'm happy to execute such orders. But what's shocking is that there are too many high-level strong men in this man's camp. My Legion is hard to come up with the strength to check and balance them, let alone suppress or even beat them."
Gaia looked at Sauron with interest and said, "what do you mean?"
Sauron's heart jumped heavily, raised his head, and said with extremely hot eyes: "in fact, as long as Lord Gaia is willing to fight, this man is not caught at hand. With the invincible power of adults, it's just a small matter."
"Oh, it seems so." Gaia sat up straight and said lazily, "put away your little abacus, Sauron. Last time I helped you get rid of some old guys, I haven't settled with you. Now I want me to cut off the enemy for you. I think you should think so. It's better for Gaia to die with those damn invaders, right?"
Sauron was startled and hurriedly said, "my Lord is worried. I definitely don't have this idea."
"No wonder." Gaia's hand fell on the dark sword intentionally or unintentionally and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that before I came to this continent, I had a hard fight with several guys. I've been seriously injured and haven't recovered until now. If I go to war in this state, I may really die with those outsiders as you think. I didn't think about it."
Sauron's eyebrows jumped down: "are you hurt?"
Gaia's hand had been pressed on the handle of the sword: "yes, it's very serious. Do you want to take the opportunity to try and maybe kill me now. As long as you kill me, maybe those evolution points you get will be enough for you to advance immediately."
At this moment, Gaia's suggestion sounds so tempting!
