Chapter 437 Wait and See · Date of Death
Everyone understood.
From the moment Patriarch Jiang Qiansong of the Jiang family of South America and Black Ghost stood in the Rekvia castle, the castle, known as the strongest war fortress in Eastern Europe, was doomed.
So Rekvia had already reached consensus at the beginning of the battle.
The castle was the foundation of Rekvia.
But for the survival of the family, it was now time to abandon the castle.
As a usurper, Tostel, who temporarily controlled Rekvia, gave control of the castle and the pa.s.swords for all systems to Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud from Sigh City as soon as the war began.
It was a transaction.
Tostel completely surrendered control of the castle in exchange for Rekvia’s Patriarch, his biological brother Schenker.
In such a situation, neither side had ever felt short-changed by such a deal.
All the experts in the Rekvia family a.s.sisted Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud to launch weapons.
But Tostel started to transfer with important members of the Rekvia family when the battle began.
There was an extremely covert shelter five hundred meters below the castle.
Inside the shelter was a secret pa.s.sage.
Through that pa.s.sage of terrible cost, a small number of important members of Rekvia could directly reach a small town less than six kilometers away from the castle.
Helicopters with special permissions in Wulan State were parked in the town.
By helicopter, one could reach all corners of Recchi City in less than 20 minutes.
This pa.s.sage was perfect for retreating.
But in a way, it was also very suitable for an intrusion.
Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud stayed in the control room of the castle. Cool Breeze stared at the battle in the castle, while Drifting Cloud stared at Tostel, who was retreating from the pa.s.sage.
The control room in the castle was large.
It seemed extremely solemn on weekdays.
But the battle between Invincible Realm experts not only destroyed the first half of the huge castle. The main structure of the entire castle had been severely damaged. At this moment, the sharp alarm sounds echoed in the control room. The large screen in the center reflected the images of the battle in front of the castle, while more screens had been occupied by messy codes, which represented a breakdown or even complete breakdown in different parts of the castle.
“The castle is badly damaged.”
Cool Breeze said gently, “The third and fourth defense facilities have been completely destroyed. The fifth defense facility has failed, and the maintenance will take at least eight hours, but this battle…”
He paused.
“That is to say… we can’t count on this grand castle in this battle?”
Drifting Cloud shook his head. “Is this what the strongest fortress in Eastern Europe, which is enough to deter Invincible Realm experts, looks like?”
“Not everyone is Jiang Qiansong.”
Cool Breeze smiled bitterly. “If it had been another Invincible Realm expert tonight, let’s say if our Governor came here in person, the laser and Destroyers in front would be enough to injure her seriously. This so-called fortress would indeed play a much smaller role once it encountered Jiang Qiansong with a ‘turtle sh.e.l.l’. And before Qin Xilai came here tonight, it was a battle of three Invincible Realm experts. What’s the use of an old castle in such a battle?”
He fished out a cigarette, lit it, and suddenly said, “What can we do here?”
Drifting Cloud was silent.
They were top a.s.sa.s.sins in Zhongzhou State and even the Dark World.
a.s.sa.s.sins didn’t need defense.
There were no clear occupational divisions in the Dark World, but different roads led in different directions.
An a.s.sa.s.sin was a knife in the dark which was able to kill a person invisibly with a fatal blow.
But on a battlefield that required tough battles and hard hits, the role of an a.s.sa.s.sin was infinitely close to zero.
Because they had no defense.
…
Not to mention getting involved in the battle between Invincible Realm experts, even if it were a battlefield where tens of thousands of elites fought, the living s.p.a.ce of one or two a.s.sa.s.sins at the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm would be significantly compressed.
The situation was clear now.
Rekvia’s old castle was not useful.
It didn’t make any sense for Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud to stay here, either.
In the head-to-head confrontation, they couldn’t even block a blow of the several Invincible Realm experts, and even if they found the best opportunity, they still needed to fight for that possibility at the cost of their lives.
Cool Breeze took drags on the cigarette and suddenly said, “It’s almost time.”
They both knew very well that their staying here didn’t help much.
Li Tianlan was naturally aware of that.
According to the plan, after the castle failed to play a role, they should follow the important members of Rekvia to Recchi City as soon as possible.
But the plan may not be able to keep up with changes.
In the plan, the castle would fail to play a role after all energy was exhausted and all weapons were unusable, instead of being entirely destroyed by the fighting of several people now.
…
“Time to go,” Drifting Cloud said lightly.
…
Cool Breeze raised his eyebrows. “Go?”
He glanced at the screen in the center of the control room.
The screen was full of light.
Hundreds of super elites from Xuanyuan Sword troops kept advancing.
The sharp Sword Energy soared into the sky, tearing the latter.
On the battlefield between Li Tianlan and Black Ghost, s.p.a.ce was continually twisting and cracking.
They could see nothing.
…
They were leaving in an uncertain situation?
“This is an order from His Highness.”
Drifting Cloud looked down at the positioning device on his wrist.
That was the tracker he left on Tostel.
“They have arrived at the shelter, probably four kilometers away from the exit.”
Drifting Cloud’s tone grew calmer. “There’s nothing we can do here. We must enter Recchi City at this point to prepare the follow-up arrangements for His Highness.”
Cool Breeze glanced at him and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Drifting Cloud chuckled and finally glanced at the screen, on which a fierce battle was going on. “Twenty-six people. I guess we have to act separately.”
…
…
Almost at the same time, a private helicopter from Snow Country inched closer to Recchi City.
Recchi City, already in a state of siege, reacted extremely fast.
As soon as the signal from the private helicopter was captured, the armed helicopters of Recchi City military had already swooped down.
“This is the airs.p.a.ce of Wulan State. You have entered the restricted airs.p.a.ce. Please show me your ident.i.ty. Repeat, this is…”
A commanding voice came over the loudspeaker from an armed helicopter.
But before the Wulan State military could repeat it a second time, a female voice was heard from the unarmed private helicopter.
It was a very authentic English p.r.o.nunciation. It was a beautiful voice, but with a great deal of indifference.
“I’m KingTong.”
“KingTong · Irene · w.a.n.g · Rothschild.”
“I’m entering Recchi City now.”
“Give Way.”
Clear, brief, straightforward, and overbearing.
KingTong.
Grand Duke of England.
But everyone knew her other ident.i.ty.
Queen of the Shadow Throne, who ranked eleventh in the World Divine List!
The Wulan State military helicopters suddenly fell silent.
The silence lasted no more than a minute.
There seemed to be an emergency report on one helicopter.
Then several helicopters turned in silence and headed for Recchi City.
The helicopter of Queen of Shadows also flew to Recchi City.
The queen sat in the cabin and looked at the armed helicopters that were getting farther and farther, her smile a little cold.
There was no doubt that the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance had completely left Rekvia, one of the four largest families in Eastern Europe, out of control.
The loss of control in Rekvia also meant the loss of control in Wulan State.
Amid the turbulent general trend, the Jiang family of South America, Zhongzhou State, and Rothschild were already in.
The only thing Wulan State could do at this time was to wait and see and wait for the final winner.
The chaos in Eastern Europe stemmed from the collapse of the Polar Ground Alliance.
In the final a.n.a.lysis, it was actually caused by the interests of the four major families involved.
As one of the four major families, the Rekvia family lacked Invincible Realm experts and naturally became the most important breakthrough point of the Eastern European chaos.
In the chaos of Eastern Europe, whoever could occupy Rekvia and Recchi City was basically proved to be invincible in Eastern Europe.
KingTong stood upright.
The wind and rain had stopped over Recchi City.
The night was hazy and silent.
An ordinary day.
A turbulent day.
From a later generation’s point of view, this day was enough to go down in the history of Eastern Europe.
Because it was the chaos great enough to affect Eastern Europe for centuries to come. This day would be universally acknowledged as the beginning of the whole mess later.
Amid the chaos, before the arrival of Judgment Day.
This day was called the Date of Death.
