The fighting in the inner city became louder and louder, and the flames of war spread throughout the city at an extremely fast speed.
The shock wave of the explosion of the large-scale destructive firearm was higher than the previous wave, and mushroom clouds rose up one after another. Tall buildings collapsed in the violent explosion. The roar was like a thunderstorm and the fire burned half of the sky.
The bustling inner city suddenly fell into chaos.
It was midnight when the pirates attacked, and those people were sleeping when they were suddenly awakened by the violent movement.
Because the pirates had found out the information in advance, they knew that the richest people lived in the uppermost areas of the city. When they rushed in, more than a dozen division captains led tens of thousands of vicious pirates, rushed into the mansions of various big families, and started
Loot.
The guards that the big families usually support have second- and third-level professionals and are well-equipped. They are already considered the top defense force in Jiulindun. They were originally thought to be enough to deal with any bandits.
But in front of this group of pirates, whose captains were all fifth-level professionals, they were as weak as paper.
The pirates were like a pack of vicious wolves pounced on a group of defenseless sheep.
"Brothers, hurry up, the boss has spoken, let's grab it for two days! Girls, the treasure, whoever grabs it belongs to whoever grabs it!"
"Hahaha, here's your chance to make a fortune!"
"The girls in the underground are so damn tender. They are a hundred times better than the girls on the ship whose skin is so rough that they can be used as sandpaper! My dear, I'm afraid that's all for the high-ranking nobles in the legendary empire."
"Gagaga brothers, charge!"
""
As Su Lun and the others judged, the pirates did not have the ability to occupy the territory, but only came to plunder.
But it would take three days at the earliest for the ships from the Dukedom of Raphael to come in for support. This means that in these few days, the pirates can freely burn, kill and loot...
Old London residents’ nightmare is coming
In the seventh district of the inner city, on the highest building, there is a luxurious mansion with a white stone statue fountain and a colorful tulip garden.
This was once the property of the Reyes family, but because of the recent news of the "tower attack", the owner of the family, Carnegie Reyes, was selling the property frantically. This property, which represented the identity of the largest plutocrat in the inner city, was also sold.
go out.
Now, it has become the headquarters of its former rival, the Anderson Consortium.
After the battle in the catacombs, the major forces in the inner city were reshuffled, and the Anderson family had a vague image of being the first consortium in Old Town.
The head of the Anderson family is having a banquet with guests today. Heads of the Clark, Oliver, David, and Smith families, as well as ladies and ladies, are all gathered together to exchange cups and cups. It's a lively atmosphere.
They celebrate the victory of years of struggle.
The Reyes family sold various important assets and was eliminated from the business, with no chance to turn around.
From then on, they had the final say in the inner city.
But unexpectedly, it came very suddenly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang"
The violent sounds of fighting coming from the center of the Black Tower confused the group of upper-class people wearing luxurious attire in the banquet hall.
Someone attacked the Duke's Palace?
The inner city is quite large, and news of the pirates' appearance has spread to all the big families like lightning.
"Sir, madam, it's not good! A group of bandits broke out from the Duke's Palace, and they killed everyone they saw."
"Where is the guard? Inform the guard quickly!"
"Sir Bert, something bad has happened! A bunch of bandits seem to be coming towards our seventh district. There are super-level professionals among them. The very strong city defense team cannot stop them and they were dispersed in an instant."
"Oh no, the thieves have already broken into the building. Guard Captain Mark has been killed. The guards can't stop him!"
""
Bad news keeps coming one after another, and the changes are overwhelming.
A few minutes ago, these inner-city dignitaries could still remain elegant and calm when they heard the noise.
Although they didn't know what the so-called "bandits" were about, they were used to being ruled by the Duke's Palace and thought that the powerful city guards could defeat the bandits.
After all, in their eyes, the Black Tower Guards have the power to destroy everything.
But I never thought that every summons would be bad news.
Those gangsters were like a torrent, unstoppable.
After the Duke's Palace was breached, the city guards were unable to stop them at all, and the bandits stormed directly into the building at a speed that was completely unprepared.
Only then did the group of gentlemen and ladies realize what was happening and began to flee in a hurry.
However, it was too late.
Moments after the news came, several pirates who had taken off their wingsuits landed on the roof of the building, blocking everyone's way.
The banquet invited Meg Owen, the president of the Hunting Guild and a third-level guild professional "Demon".
This is the strong man at the top of the pyramid in Old Town.
He looked at the uninvited guests and shouted angrily: "Who are you?"
But he never thought that before he finished speaking, a human head fell to the ground.
A face-to-face, third-level strong man will die!
He killed the pirate captain in the red turban and wiped the bloody dagger in his hand with disdain on his face.
In just a few breaths of time, several of his subordinates also killed all the first- and second-level guards.
The remaining ladies and gentlemen crowded in the banquet hall and shivered.
The red-turbaned pirate leader had a greedy smile on his face and was not killing anyone.
He swaggered into the banquet hall, grabbed a handful of meat on the table full of rich food and fruits, and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate with his mouth full, "Tsk, tsk, you guys really know how to enjoy it."
I took another sip of red wine with a face full of enjoyment.
At this time, he saw a richly dressed lady not far away and walked over with lustful eyes.
The lady in the blue low-cut dress has been backed into the corner, with no way to retreat.
The red-turbaned pirate grabbed her, and in front of hundreds of people in the banquet hall, he roughly touched the woman's chest with a pair of rough hands. He seemed to enjoy the strange smoothness and grinned.
Smokey Yellow Teeth said, "Hey, this nip is so damn smooth and tender."
The woman screamed in fright and tried to break free, but the red-turbaned pirate tore her dress to pieces with only one blow.
With a "stab" sound, the long skirt was torn into pieces.
The lady's entire body was exposed to the air for the first half of her life.
Looking at the panic-stricken lady covering her breasts, the pirates on the side burst into laughter.
Seeing the noble lady being humiliated, a gentleman-looking man stood up.
"you"
But just as he was about to say something, a line of blood appeared on his neck, and the human head fell to the ground.
The human body fountain was staged in front of our eyes. The more than 100 people in the banquet hall were like frightened quails, and no one dared to speak.
This group of pirates, with their absolute strength, showed the top nobles in Old Lingdun what "weakness is the original sin" means.
"Does anyone else want to talk?"
The red-turbaned pirate looked around and said, "No one can tell you, so just listen to me!"
He sneered, shouted loudly and said: "I am the captain of the seventh division of the fourth fleet under Lord Oleg. Now I will give you a chance to live. Pay the money to buy your life."
Pirates are very experienced in robbery and are very skilled in kidnapping and extortion.
They knew very well that controlling this group of "big men" would be much more efficient than finding the treasure themselves.
There was blood everywhere in the banquet hall, and the human body fountain on the floor was still twitching. The master and his wife had already been frightened to death. How dare they not cooperate?
This scene was played out all over the inner city.
The mansions of various large financial groups have become the first places for pirates to visit.
The pirates plundered the city.
at the same time,
The secret laboratory in Old Town One.
This is a secret base for researching mechanical warriors, a place where even the top leaders of the Umbrella Organization have no access.
After the Black Tower was breached by pirates, the inner city guards were vulnerable. The only place in the city that still had decent resistance was the Mechanical Research Institute.
With the help of heavy mechanical doors and mechanical warriors in the factory, the people in the institute are still resisting tenaciously.
A group of pirates are angrily attacking the attackers.
"Damn it, attacking this laboratory is a waste of my time! Those guys from Division 7 grabbed so much treasure that they couldn't even fit in the storage ring. The women rushed until their legs were weak and waited for the general to come and break open this damn mechanical door.
, I must put the head of the guy who ordered the door to be closed in P’s eyes!”
"Captain, Archduke Raphael's 'Super Mechanical Warrior' stole the show during the war. The blueprints have been sold to sky-high prices by major lords on the black market. This is the most valuable thing. I heard that it can be exchanged in the Marfa Empire.
A dukedom?"
"Haha, that's right. No wonder Duke Raphael is so rich. It turns out that with such a mine, we are now prosperous! By the way, is the general here?"
"almost there."
""
The research institute has mechanical gates, and most of the buildings are underground.
Once the door is closed, it is indestructible to a gun.
It's a pity that there are sixth-level professionals among pirates.
These mechanical gates are indestructible to third- and fourth-level professionals, but they cannot last long under the attack of sixth-level professionals.
Not long after, a bald woman nearly two meters tall came to the entrance of the institute.
"General!"
"General!"
""
All the pirates said hello one after another.
This person is the deputy captain of the fourth fleet under the command of the "King of the North Sea". He has a bounty of 881 million liso. He is known as "Vice Admiral Sun Flame" Gladys Olmedo. A sixth-level professional and awakened
It is a very rare talent [A-036-Flame Girl], a fire element variant talent. Legend has it that it originated from a female demon who controlled lava during the mythical period.
When she came, she didn't talk nonsense at all. With a pinch of her double surgeon's seal, a raging fire suddenly burst out of her body. When she looked again, her whole body turned into a state of magma. Every time she took a step, the flowing magma burned out of the ground.
Potholes one after another.
She put her hands on the mechanical door and shouted softly: "Alchemy Volcano!"
A red seven-pointed star formation lit up, and suddenly her arm was like a volcano erupting, with hot lava coming out.
Tuotuo magma dripped on the nearly one meter thick alloy, and it began to melt visibly to the naked eye.
A group of pirates looked at the door that was gradually opened, their eyes showing excitement and fierceness.
There was a lot of commotion in the inner city, but on the other hand, there was no impact in the outer city.
The streets were filled with people watching the excitement, pointing at the flames of war in the inner city.
Those pirates seemed to know their stuff.
The outer city is full of low-rise houses and post-war Syrian-style slums, and there are also a large number of factories that emit billowing white smoke. No matter how you look at it, there is not much money to grab.
No pirates come to the outer city.
The pirates seemed to have a plan in advance. After breaking through the black tower, several teams directly seized several gates in the inner city, blocking the possibility of escape for the inner city residents and creating a trap.
Two days are enough for them to make a good harvest.
The three major gangs, the Cross Society, the Steam Party, and the Crow Gang, as well as various trade unions with extraordinary professions, have also taken action.
After the news was sent out, there was a black market in Shadow Alley in Beicheng.
Su Lun also found out later that the black market was the headquarters of the Mirror Organization in Old Town.
And the organizer who I once thought was extremely mysterious was Mr. Jing.
In the secret basement deep underground, when Su Lun and Qian Jiao arrived, there were already three people wearing gold-patterned cloaks.
The cloaks of the Mirror Organization look similar, but Su Lun now knows that one can actually tell their identities through the gold patterns on the cloaks.
Among the three people in front of me, the one with the "mechanical gear" pattern is No. 19, the one with the "fist" symbol is the second-stage red demon Kai, and the one with the "book" pattern is Mr. Black.
When the two came, everyone nodded to each other and did not speak.
Because Su Lun was a new member, the three of them looked at him more.
But looking at the "black sickle" pattern on the cloak, everyone seemed to have guessed Su Lun's identity.
After waiting for a few minutes, several more came one after another.
Not counting Mr. Jing, there are only eight people in the Jing organization.
Except for the man with the "Rotten Flower" symbol on his cloak, Su Lun had seen them all.
The atmosphere was serious.
Just when these people stood together, an invisible sense of oppression instantly enveloped Su Lun in the secret room.
Even without any movement, the aura of these people is so strong that it makes people feel like their breathing is stagnant.
Su Lun knew that apart from him and No. 19, the other six people here were fourth-level professionals who had awakened their secondary talents.
To be able to awaken the secondary talent, this must be a person who has experienced great insights into life and death, and has a killing aura within him.
This is a group of people with tigers in their hearts.
In Mr. Mirror's words, professionals who can awaken their secondary talents were very rare a thousand years ago.
Usually it means that they can advance to the seventh level and truly get a glimpse of the growth possibilities in the top alchemy field!
No one spoke.
The pirate attack came very suddenly, and the information they had was very limited.
In the communicator, Sabina continued to report on the situation in the inner city.
The umbrella organization has a huge intelligence system in the inner city and has a clear grasp of the movements of the pirates.
Except for the hidden forces of a few secret laboratories, there was almost no effective counterattack organized in the city.
"Several huge abominations appeared in the No. 7 Biological Research Institute. The pirates were entangled, but a fifth-level professional took action to kill them."
"A large number of mechanical warriors from the No. 1 Mechanical Research Institute participated in the battle, temporarily holding back the pirates. However, a very strong professional among the pirates also came, using lava ability. They are about to break through the research institute."
"That group of pirates was very ferocious. They killed everyone they saw. Residents in the inner city suffered heavy casualties. Especially in the wealthy areas of the upper city and the residences of major chaebols, the pirates went after them."
""
Su Lun shared the real-time information. Listening to the information, the atmosphere in the secret room became more solemn.
Not long after, the mirror light flashed by, the light and shadow condensed, and suddenly there was another person in the secret room.
Everyone seems to have become accustomed to this weird way of appearing, and no one is surprised.
The visitor is naturally Mr. Mirror.
"leader!"
Everyone opened their mouths to signal.
In front of the strong man, they all showed great respect.
Mr. Jing nodded, without further ado, and said directly: "The situation has almost been investigated clearly. The good news is that the "King of the North Sea" Oleg did not come, but his fourth fleet came. This group of pirates killed everyone stationed there.
The guards on the Black Barrier Reef destroyed the defensive restrictions and traps along the way and cleared up a lot of trouble for us."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Oleg Legend is an eighth-level professional and one of the top powerhouses in the surface world.
Mr. Jing's strength has not yet fully recovered, and that guy is coming. There is almost no room for maneuver in this situation.
Not coming is indeed good news.
Moreover, those pirates have opened up the road, which means that there will be a lot less trouble when rushing to the tower.
But when there's good news, there's also bad news.
As expected, after a pause, Mr. Jing continued: "But the bad news is that there are two sixth-level professionals in the fourth fleet, namely "Vice Admiral Sun Yan" Gladys Olmedo, and
One of them is the "Frost Troll" Gar Popov, the youngest son of the King of the North Sea. The two of them are very powerful in combat, and their talents are also very difficult. With my current strength, I am fairly confident in dealing with one of them.
It will be very difficult to deal with them. There are more than a dozen fifth-level captains and fourth-level vice-captains in this group of pirates. If we attack the tower now, the risk will be very high. So, I want to ask everyone's opinion."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought.
Previously, we had to face a personal guard of Archduke Raphael when we rushed to the tower. We had been planning for many years, and many of the arrangements were clear, so the problem was not too big.
But now, things have changed.
They have to face an entire fleet of the "King of the North Sea".
It's definitely not that simple to be a sixth-level professional who even Mr. Jing calls difficult.
After all, the "mine" has limited development space. No matter how powerful they are and how good their growth talents are, they have only just advanced to the fourth level.
Even if the second-level talents and some special curses can make up for some combat power, it can barely be regarded as level five.
There is a huge difference from the sixth level
Hearing Mr. Jing ask for advice, what did Red Devil Kai think of? He spoke first and said: "From the current intelligence, it takes at most two or three days for the warship to sail at full speed from Duke Raphael's territory to the Black Tower. So this
There is a high probability that the group of pirates will not stay, and 80% of them will leave in two days. We wait until then to go out, there are no defenders, and there are no pirates, it should be the safest plan."
This said,
Everyone fell into silence,
They felt something was wrong, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
If it were that simple, Mr. Jing obviously wouldn't discuss it.
Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.
There is actually nothing wrong with what Kai analyzed.
But because he lacked some necessary knowledge of the world on the ground, he failed to take into account some factors.
Su Lun harvested some memory fragments from outside. He is probably the person here who knows the most about outside intelligence besides Mr. Jing.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to tell him some information that he had thought of, so he said: "I don't think it is a good choice to wait for the pirates to leave before rushing into the tower."
When he said this, everyone looked over.
Su Lun continued: "After all, when we leave the Black Barrier Reef, we need a ship that can withstand wind and waves. If we wait for the pirates to leave, I think they will definitely not leave us a complete ship."
As soon as he said this, Kai also knew that he had overlooked something, and then he suddenly realized and said to himself: "Yes, there is also the sea."
After a pause, he looked at Su Lun again and asked, "Do we need a boat? Can we swim? If we need a boat, how big of a boat do we need? Can we build it ourselves?"
"Well, it must be a boat! And a big boat as much as possible!"
Su Lun nodded: "The area near the Black Barrier Reef belongs to the storm zone. The wind wolves nearby are very large, and the weather changes irregularly. Moreover, the intelligence shows that there are many terrifying sea beasts on the bottom of the sea. It is impossible for a small boat to safely allow us to cross the sea and reach other territories.
.”
People in the underground world have never seen the sea and have no idea about it.
I don’t even know what the standard of a sea-going ship is, and I don’t know how weather, waves, and storms affect navigation.
But after listening to Su Lun's brief analysis, everyone gradually understood a little bit more.
Mr. Jing remained silent, so he naturally agreed with this statement.
Hearing this, Mr. Hei also spoke and agreed with Su Lun's statement, saying: "Well, I also agree with rushing the tower now. Otherwise, after this pirate attack, the existence of Old Lingdun will be exposed in the surface world. The Duke's Palace must
Heavy troops will be deployed to guard it, and the defensive force will be stronger in the future. It is very likely that other forces in the Luying Empire will intervene. If you miss this opportunity, it will be no less difficult to rush out in the future than it is now. What's more, Princess Theresa's team was wiped out this time.
I'm afraid it has aroused the vigilance of the Duke's Palace. If it weren't for the war between the two empires, Archduke Raphael would have come to investigate in person. If this continues, there may be some unforeseen changes in the future."
After hearing this, everyone understood why Mr. Jing said that charging the tower was very risky, but did not mention the option of not charging now.
Because they have no choice.
Underground, it is impossible for Mr. Jing to fully recover to his peak strength. She still needs to find some high-level materials from the outside world.
"Climbing the tower" now will be very risky.
But if we don’t rush now, there will be more unforeseen problems later.
There is a possibility that I will be trapped here forever.
Everyone understood this and expressed their opinions one after another.
Card: "I also think now is the best time to attack the tower."
Qianjo: "Agree!"
Ray: "Agree!"
The Mirror Organization is a very loose organization, and members have the right to make their own choices.
But everyone comes together for the same goal.
Because there were only a few people and there were people with sharp minds present, the meeting was extremely efficient.
After a few simple words, everyone voted in favor.
Mr. Mirror actually means the same thing.
In fact, there is only one path to choose.
If you are willing to take risks and rush to the tower, you will have to face death.
After the voting was over, Mr. Jing didn't say much and said: "Since everyone agrees to act now, we will gather in the secret passage in two hours and prepare to rush to the tower!"
