The hall, which had just held a quarterly summing up meeting, was once again filled with people, with cardinals and civil servants standing in a line, and the officers of the order opposite them. Solon is still sitting in his seat. Unlike the last meeting, the Pope is also sitting next to Solon. But there was a yawn on the young Pope's face, as if he had no interest in such a meeting.
A light screen appeared above the hall, in which an image was playing. Looking at the pictures in the video, everyone in the hall looks ugly. Maybe the Pope is an exception. The image is transmitted back by thunder using a small function in the round table knight system. Of course, it is not a real-time image. Canon had been captured and the news reached the city of Rome.
Now some important figures in Rome have gathered together, watching the images in the light screen faithfully recording the process of Canon's capture. In this process, the important ministers in the hall witnessed how the fortress, which is known as the iron wall, became fragmented by the strong means of the invaders, especially when the city gate was broken, which was shocking.
The swordswoman who broke the city with that sword is not in any records of the western continent, but her means have been shown, and the visible brilliance of her body shows that she is a high-level capable person, and she is the level of Solon. Next, the gesture of one man breaking through the paladin's defense line was deeply reflected in the eyes of the public. The subsequent electromagnetic bomb made the officials and officers in the hall exclaim. They recognized that it was a special weapon developed by ISTA for Paladin's mecha.
But zero is not ISTA's man.
With the description of the swordswoman and the survivors of roaring Bay, everyone can be sure that people from other continents have come here. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the western continent to jump out of such a high level. The news is more shocking than the fall of Kanon fortress.
After the cataclysm, the communication between the continents became very difficult, even impassable. If people from other continents come here now, does it mean that the continent where these foreigners live already has the means of long-distance navigation. If this conjecture holds, it means that the era will enter a new page.
Of course, it won't be pleasant. In today's resource poor world, long-distance navigation will only be used as aggression, not to deliver friendly olive branches.
Look at the image in the light screen, it's almost over. Under the image capture of the Knights of the round table, everyone can clearly see that the Knights of the round table are fighting alone, and the latter is still in a state of being suppressed. Soon, with a burst of drama on the screen, all the images finally came to an end.
The light screen rises.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive and everyone's face was gray. This powerful intruder can fight round table knights with one man's strength and destroy three generations of mecha. This fact is as heavy as a mountain, which makes people unable to think normally. Especially Dr. Jane, the destruction of the mecha only proves his incompetence. After all, when it was developed, he boasted that he could compete with the high-level strong.
But from the video, the fact that the Knights of the round table and the invaders were destroyed in less than three minutes, Dr. Jane's words were a slap in the face. He had a hot face and a low head. Even now the officials in the hall are attracted by the images, but the doctor feels that their contemptuous eyes are on his back.
Kanon was captured and less than 500 soldiers escaped. Papal hall lost a fort, two army commanders, thousands of soldiers and several important mines. Whether it's dignity or economy, it's a heavy blow. The papal hall is like a giant, now it's bent over with a punch. If the color is not returned immediately, the cornerstone of the papal chamber will be challenged as never before.
Sauron was unexpectedly not furious.
He was as deep as water, and he was totally different in peacetime. And those who knew him, such as the leader of the guard, knew that he was the real Sauron. That irritability and caprice was nothing more than an illusion created by Sauron to confuse his enemies. The real him is deep and good at calculation. Otherwise, how can a tyrant hold the throne for 30 years? It's not only ISTA who want to overthrow Sauron, but Sauron's throne has never been shaken.
Until now, the throne seems to shake because of the fall of canon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have finished watching this video. Has anyone ever told me what these intruders will do next? How do we respond? " Solon's cold voice sounded, but under the cold, there was the heat of magma.
As soon as the words went on, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some say that the invaders will snatch away and then go away. After all, everyone knows that the papal hall will not let them go. And no matter how strong they are, they can't compete with the whole city of Rome. Some say they are interested in the three oil well platforms under the control of the fortress. After all, these platforms are more precious than gold mines in this era.
For a moment, there were many different opinions, and they didn't settle down until Solon reached for a sign. Solon's eyes swept over the crowd. The bishops and civil servants who had just been talking loudly, as well as a few officers of the knight order. As for the two army leaders in the column, they were Leo from the second Legion and frank from the ninth Legion.These two legions were stationed in two important cities not far from Rome, and now they were called back by Solon. In a short period of more than a month, the Knight Order lost four Army leaders, which in the history of Rome, perhaps only in that dark period had such a tragic thing happened.
Solon's eyes fell on Leo, who was the same age as Solon and a veteran from the dark ages as karomon. Now his hair is gray, but the cold look of the regiment leader is as good as that of the past. Leo is a high-level ability person of fire department. His command style and ability are general. He believes in aggression like fire.
Seeing Solon looking at himself, Leo stood forward and said, "my Lord, I think the real purpose of the invaders is to build Kanon into a stronghold. A stronghold against us
As soon as Leo's words came out, someone jumped out and retorted: "chief Leo, do you think these invaders alone have the strength to fight against the whole city of Rome? If we still set up a stronghold, will our army flatten them on the spot
Leo didn't look at it. He snorted: "the fortress is 8000 kilometers away from us. Judging from their fighting power, it takes at least three or even more than four knights to completely annihilate them. At present, we have only eight complete Cavaliers, the first regiment needs to guard Rome City, the fourth and eleventh Legion is stationed in fawcero. The rest of the legions also have their own guarding areas. To be honest, we are very reluctant to draw out four legions. "
"What's more, it takes time for the four legions to mobilize, assemble, and even to equip the material and logistics teams. It will take us at least a month to gather our forces and go to Kanon, 8000 kilometers away. One month is enough for them to build the most basic fortifications and prepare for us. The key question is, if they only want to rob materials, I believe it's more convenient for them to rob in farcero or other places. Why do they choose canon? " Leo looked up at Solon, but said to other officials, "don't forget, where's canon? Yes, it's at the end of the bloody road, far away from Rome. This is the most obvious provocation! "
Li Ao's words can not be refuted, before jumping out to interrupt the officials have honestly returned to their position. Solon nodded, obviously also agreed with Leo's words. He said in a deep voice: "chief Leo, if you lead and give you another month to prepare, are you sure you will pull the invaders out of canon?"
Leo took a deep look at Solon, then said with a bitter smile, "only 50% of the time."
All of a sudden, everyone was in an uproar.
Solon raised his hand, lowered his voice and asked, "why? Isn't four legions enough to wipe out a small fortress
"That's enough in theory, but judging from the data of the two previous campaigns, the invaders have a group of high-level capable people. There are only two of the nine strong men we know now. Lord Solon, you are also nine. You should understand that the destructive power of nine is not on the same level as that of eight. Our most fatal problem is that there are too few high-level and even nine level strong people. " Leo pondered for a while, then said: "if Lord Solon is willing to take part in the war, then the probability of success can be increased to 70%
The reason why it is still not 100% winning rate, in the final analysis, is the lack of high-level ability. And Solon could not have been so rash in the war. He was the only nine steps in Rome. This battle is not like the battle of ISTA. In that battle, Solon was well prepared, and with the convenience of sneak attack, he could pick out the whole ISTA at one stroke.
But even so, he left behind a King Arthur. As an upgraded version of the Knights of the round table, King Arthur himself is equivalent to a ninth rank.
Right now, Solon can't easily participate. Even a veteran like Leo admitted that he had no 100% chance of winning the battle. If he goes out and loses, even if he manages to escape, the whole city of Rome will be divided and collapsed. A defeated Sauron, even if the ability is still there, can not suppress the voice below.
It's not easy to sit on the throne of Rome. Solon is sitting on the crater. It's his strength that suppresses him, and it's also his invincible reputation. From this, we can see that the presence of these people poses a great threat to him, which can't be described too much.
At this moment, a voice appeared in Solon's mind without warning: "come to the palace and meet me. Bring the video data just now."
Solon's pupils shrank, and in the eyes of the Pope, he inadvertently clenched the armrest. So the metal armrest was completely deformed, leaving a deep fingerprint on it. Sauron was shocked. The voice just now was owned by Gaia, the silver haired devil. It's the first time that he has directly printed the voice in Solon's mind. It looks like the means of a high-level perceptual domain. However, it's so difficult to convey the voice clearly to a high-level perceptual domain, but Gaia can easily do it.
Does this mean that it is easy for him to kill himself.Solon felt a shiver from the depths of his soul. Compared with Gaia, the threat of the invaders was less obvious. It's just that Solon doesn't understand why Gaia was suddenly interested in the image data just now. Is there something important in it, but he ignored it.
People with advanced abilities have amazing memories, and Solon is no exception. He quickly replayed the image in fast forward mode in his mind several times, even in a few seconds. But Solon didn't see anything that needed special attention until zero's face swept through the image. Solon caught something, instantly fixed the image, so the deformed metal handrail was almost pulled down by Solon!
Everyone in the hall looked at Solon and couldn't understand why the adult suddenly lost his manners. However, regardless of their feelings, Solon stood up and said in a hurry: "the meeting is over for the time being. We'll discuss it tomorrow. It's over!"
After that, take wither away from the side door of the hall.
Solon was in a state of turmoil. He knew why Gaia suddenly asked for the information. The intruder's face was somewhat like Gaia's. The difference is that the invaders have black hair and Gaia has silver hair. The former has a golden right eye, while the latter obviously has the same pupil on the left eye.
These two people are just like two sides of a mirror. One black, one white, one right, one left!
In a shocked mood, Solon came to the gate of the palace. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then pushed the door open with his hand. The door was full of darkness, the light seemed to be refracted by something here, so the whole palace looked so gloomy and terrible. Solon knew that Gaia had awakened, and the whole palace had become a den for some kind of evil beast.
Solon stepped into the nest and was not happy. The door behind him was gently closed by the invisible force. When the invisible force field passed by Sauron, he felt depressed and heavy. The palace is full of Gaia's territory, and this is his home. Solon also has domains. When domains cover each other, they will naturally repel each other.
Two fields of different nature will compete for space, and the rules of understanding will be used to fight. The more and more advanced the rules are, the greater the chance of defeating the opponent's field. In Gaia's unknown field, there are several rules that Solon felt. God knows what kind of secrets there are.
He didn't dare to explore for fear of causing Gaia's reaction.
When the idea came out, solo 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 as much pressure as Gaia, but at that time, Solon was desperate to fight for everything, even for today's everything. Today, however, it's just Gaya who makes him give in.
Suddenly, Solon knew he couldn't get rid of Gaia. The mood suddenly fell to the extreme, the darkness in front of him was like water, which separated to both sides, so Solon saw Gaia.
The silver haired man had opened his eyes, and there was a smile 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 at it for a long time, it gives Sauron a gloomy feeling.
I don't know what kind of things are wrapped under this man's human coat?
"Play that video again." Gaia said softly.
Solon said "as you wish." then he turned over his hand and took out a tablet brain. Then he played the image transmitted by thunder and handed it to Gaia.
Soon after watching it, Gaia put down her brain, leaned forward slightly and said to Solon, "go, bring this man. His priority is above Franklin. As long as you get him, Franklin is of no importance
Solon did not hide his surprise. He could not speak for a long time. From the similar faces of the intruder and Gaia, Sauron can already guess the importance of this man to Gaia. But unexpectedly, his importance is still above Franklin. Doesn't that mean that man is more important than life in the last era?
Having managed to clear up his mood, Sauron lowered his head and said, "Lord Gaia, I'm happy to carry out such an order. But what's shocking is that there are too many high-level strongmen in this man's camp, and it's hard for my Legion to find the strength to check and balance them, let alone suppress or even defeat them. "
Gaia looked at Solon with interest and said, "what do you mean?"
Solon's heart beat heavily. He raised his head and said in his fiery eyes: "in fact, as long as Lord Gaia is willing to fight, this man is not caught by hand. It's just a small thing with the power of adults. "
"Oh, it seems so." Gaia sat up straight and said lazily, "put away your abacus, solo. Last time I helped you get rid of some old guys, I haven't settled with you. Now you want me to cut off the enemy for you. I think you should think so. It's better for Gaia to die with those damned invaders, right? "Sauron was startled, and even said: "my Lord is worried. I absolutely don't have this idea."
"No wonder not." 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 fierce fight with some guys. Now I've been seriously injured and I haven't recovered yet. If you fight in such a state, you may end up with the outsiders as you think. So I didn't even think about it. "
Solon's eyebrows jumped. "Are you hurt?"
Gaia's hand was on the hilt: "yes, it's serious. Do you want to take the chance to try? Maybe you can kill me now. As long as you kill me, maybe the evolution points you get will be enough for you to be promoted immediately. "
At this moment, Gaia's suggestion sounds so alluring!
