Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

In Hobert's study, he briefly told Xio about the battle.

And concluded at the end: "I got information before that there are five saints in the Aurora Society.

"We have killed four of their saints so far. If they don't add new strength, there will only be one saint left in the Aurora Society.

"But regardless of whether they will replenish saint-level power, this secret organization composed of madmen will definitely disappear for a while."

Thinking of the purpose of this organization, Hobert felt that the True Creator Church would definitely add some saint-level power.

Xio smiled and said: "Before, I never thought that I could actually do my part in fighting such an evil extraordinary organization."

"We must carry out a continuous attack on the Aurora Society." Hobert added: "You must use your intelligence network to publicize tonight's action, portray the Aurora Society in a very embarrassing state, and even beg Duke Hobert for mercy. Pass."

Xio was slightly startled: "This will expose you."

"It doesn't matter." Hobert smiled: "I just want to anger them. It's best if they can send it to the door themselves!"

During tonight's action, Hobert didn't even wear a mask, because with his current strength, organizations like the Aurora Society would have to avoid him, not him hiding from the Aurora Society.

Even if the "Iron-Blooded Cross" is added to the mix, when the royal family of the Fusac Empire and many Beyonder families in the Republic of Intis hold the "Hunter" path, this organization is not a "founder" force. opponent.

At least it's much worse than the Witch Cult, so if they want to seek revenge from Hobert, they have to think about it first.

After Xio left, Hobert habitually reviewed tonight's battle, and then entered the "State of Disorder" to count the loot.

The biggest trophy is of course the "Box of the Old Days", a level 0 sealed item.

Its ability is pretty good. It is divided into three layers. The first layer can swap the internal space with a certain area in reality. The area that enters the box will become an exquisite toy. If a life enters the box, it will look like It's a clockwork doll, its movements are jerky, and it's difficult to form coherent thoughts.

The second layer records places such as the abyss and the starry sky. The holder and the surrounding targets will immediately enter a certain space recorded on the second layer. The holder's only advantage is to be prepared, making it easier to escape from those places. Basically The above belongs to the ability to die together.

The third layer contains the pollution of the starry sky. This layer has a certain probability of opening on its own, and all living creatures within a certain range will die suddenly or be contaminated.

Sitting on the "Iron Throne", Hobert lamented: "Only the first level is safe."

The ability at the third level is actually a negative effect. You will suddenly be stared at from the stars, which is quite scary when you think about it.

Another negative effect is that the holder is likely to disappear suddenly.

This is another negative effect that is difficult to prevent.

So Hobert simply sealed it in the "State of Disorder" and came back to retrieve it when needed.

Finally, there is the naming step. This does not require Hobert to consume too many brain cells, because the name is ready: "0-72" Box of the Old.

…

Longtail Island, in the Governor's Mansion.

In the early morning, Hobert came to the bedroom here. As expected, Forsi hadn't gotten up yet: "Get up quickly, I brought you a gift."

Forsi lay there motionless, explaining with practical actions what it meant to be "unmoved".

Hobert sat on the edge of the bed: "You will definitely like it very much."

Forsi didn't even raise his eyes and simply covered his head with a blanket.

"I killed Botis with Dophis and the others yesterday."

Forsi paused for a moment, then suddenly sat up: "Which Botis?"

"It's Botis who defected from the Abraham family as you said before." Hobert smiled and replied: "Did you feel sober immediately?"

Forsi was stunned for a while, then yawned, and seemed to have completely woken up at this time: "Did you and Xio's operation succeed?"

Hobert had mentioned before that he was asking Hugh to investigate the Aurora Society: "Of course, a great victory!"

Forsi came over and kissed Hobert: "That's great!"

"Is this the end?"

"if not?"

"Of course, keep going." Hobert jumped on the bed and threw Forsi down.

"Ahaha, don't kiss your neck so hard, it will leave marks!"

After a lot of ups and downs, Hobert hugged Forsi and lay on the bed: "I will take people to the air force base in the south of Jianhai soon to prepare for the bombing of Saint Milon."

Forsi warned: "Don't be too desperate."

"Of course not." Hobert smiled: "After all, I am a foreign aid."

Forsi added: "I want to go to Pulitzer Harbor and hand over Botis's head to the teacher."

"We have to share the benefits equally." Hobert smiled and said, "You can't keep it all to yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll give it all to you!" Forsi said generously.

Hobert left at around nine in the morning. Forsi struggled for a long time but couldn't complete the process of getting up, so he simply fell asleep again.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Forsi finally got up, put on a long dress, put on a wide-brimmed dome hat, and set off for Pulitzer Harbour.

Because this time they met without any advance notice, they still had to go through the same procedure as last time. Fors found someone to deliver a letter to Dorian at the Fisheries Association, and marked the letter with a "safety" code.

Then they arrived at a hotel and an agreed-upon room one after another.

Forsi waited in the room for more than twenty minutes, hiding behind the curtains and watching Teacher Dorian stroll into the hotel.

After knocking on the door and opening the door according to the agreed-upon code, and exchanging the code with each other's hand signals, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Some time ago, Forsi also talked to Hobert about the secret codes between extraordinary people. She felt that the Abraham family had done a good job in this regard.

But Hobert said that this kind of code is only used by Xio's intelligence department. Other official Beyonders don't have much demand for codes except for some simple codes!

Because they are official Extraordinaries, the residence of official Extraordinaries is not a meeting place, but an office. They must be upright and cannot be sneaky.

This thought flashed through Forsi's mind. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I came to you suddenly this time."

Dorian, who had very broad shoulders, also smiled and said: "Every time you come unexpectedly, you bring me some surprises."

As an astrologer with a very keen spirituality, Dorian had already foreseen that his student would bring him a big surprise this time.

"As you expected." Forsi said, "I brought Botis's head."

"who?"

"Butis," Forsi replied: "That's the Butis you told me about before."

"Oh, my God, you actually killed Botis." Dorian sat on the chair in surprise, his face full of disbelief. He paused for a few seconds before saying: "This was killed by Hobert again." ?”

"That's right." Forsi said bluntly: "When Hobert was fighting against the forces of the Aurora Society, he and his companions encountered Botis and others.

"Because I mentioned this person to Hobert before, so he and his companions killed Botis."

As Forsi spoke, he opened the cloth bag he carried with him, revealing the head that had been treated.

Dorian didn't know what to say for a moment. According to him, a student, killing a "mystic mage" was as easy as squeezing a chicken to death.

He looked at the head and saw the unwillingness and surprise on Botis's face, and he suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

After a while, Dorian said to Forsi: "I don't even know how to thank you, how can I thank Hobert."

"You're welcome." Forsi smiled and said, "I just want to do something for you."

Dorian smiled and said: "I must thank you, otherwise my companions will all wonder if you have other purposes."

He thought for a while and then said: "I have seen a description of your current situation in the newspaper. I know that you are not short of money and are very powerful. Hobert can also provide you with excellent extraordinary resources.

“But I also have some information about our approach here, which should be very useful to you.

"Well, let's do this. After you are promoted, I will give you the magic potion formulas of 'Traveler' and 'Mystic Mage' successively. In addition, I will help you prepare the ceremony for your promotion to 'Mystic Mage'.

"I think Hobert should have the extraordinary characteristics of 'Traveler' and 'Mystic Mage', so I will provide you with all the auxiliary materials for these two promotions."

Forsi wanted to refuse, but seeing Dorian's firm expression, she could only say: "Thank you, teacher."

But she sighed in her heart: Hobert can't even use the things the teacher gave me? How to break up with him?

Dorian sighed and added: "The newspaper two days ago said that Hobert was made a Duke and could establish a country in the Southern Continent. Is this true?"

"It's true." Forsi said: "I also went to take a look at his new territory. It is very vast, but the level of civilization is not high."

"It's rare to see such a young and promising young man." Dorian sighed: "Speaking of which, we only met at your wedding and we haven't had a good chat yet.

"Please tell him for me. I hope to express my gratitude in person."

Forsi, who was already quite politically aware at this time, realized that Teacher Dorian must have noticed that Hobert's background was unusual and wanted to have a deeper understanding.

"No problem." Forsi smiled.

…

In the blink of an eye, October 16th came. A few days ago, the Fusac Empire had just experienced a heavy snowfall. However, after this cold wave passed, the temperature rose again and the heavy snow just began to melt.

In the early morning, Hobert, who was in the airship control room, saw the vast expanse of white on the ground and felt the severe cold in this northern country.

"Dear loved ones, the sun will rise soon, and we will enter a densely populated area ahead." Malva, the "Iron-Blooded Knight" from the Tony family, reminded.

Hobert smiled and said: "I said, you have full command of this battle."

As he spoke, he simply sat by the window, as if he was continuing to enjoy the scenery outside.

Malwa was the candidate selected by Raymond to be promoted to "War Bishop".

If you can successfully attack Sheng Milon, you can definitely complete the promotion ceremony.

After several days of planning, this formation of 24 airships set out in the middle of the night yesterday. They first headed west, bypassing the battlefield on the south coast of Jianhai.

Then all the lights on the airship were turned off and they crossed the sea in darkness.

After sailing in the darkness all night, they finally entered the Fusac Empire quietly.

The airship formation began to march to the northeast, heading straight for Saint Milon.

Winter in the Fusac Empire, especially when the ice and snow melts and the temperature warms up a little, is also a season of dense fog. Although it is not as severe as Backlund's fog, it can still be covered well before the sun rises. Covering the airship formation.

The sun is about to rise now, and it is still about an hour away from St. Milon. Especially near St. Milon, the population has become denser, and it is easy to be discovered at this time.

However, Malva had already discussed this issue with Hobert. When he saw that Hobert had completely given up the command position to him, he cleared his throat and ordered: "Start praying!"

The herald immediately conveyed the order to the airships in lantern language.

Suddenly, there were people on every airship praying to the "creator".

These people are basically the Extraordinaries of the Tony family and the "prayer" designated by Malwa.

The soldiers driving the airship looked indifferent. They knew very well that this mission was a suicide mission, and they had long been mentally prepared to die.

At this time, their hearts are very peaceful. After all, they know where their lives will end.

Hobert seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but in fact he had entered the "Land of Disorder". Based on the expanding stars in the pool, he projected a certain amount of power into the real world and "tampered" with the appearance of the airship formation.

From the ground, there was no airship formation at all, only a cloud floating northward.

Hobert could "distort" the position of the formation to get them to the designated location as quickly as possible, but that would easily alert the enemy.

If the royal family of the Fusac Empire had access to the "arbitrator" route, Hobert would never agree to participate in such a sneak attack mission.

Because the high-sequence Extraordinaries of this path can have some subtle connections with their own territory, it is easier to detect their sneak attacks.

The high-sequence Extraordinaries of the "Hunter" path have various practical abilities on the battlefield and can easily dominate the war, but there is no corresponding connection between them and their own territory.

In addition, the formation target of 24 airships is very small, so it is difficult for them to detect it.

In addition, according to the information obtained by Hobert, the angels of the Fusac Empire royal family were supervising the battle on the south coast of the Sea, while the angels of the God of War Church were confronting the angels of the Church of the Night Goddess in the Amanda Mountains.

This created a gap in Saint Milon's defense. At least before the bombs were dropped, this airship formation was difficult to detect.

Because the "Creator" has a very high status, under his "tampering", extraordinary people at the demigod level can only detect something amiss at a relatively close distance.

If it is still far away from Saint Milon, a demigod will fly over from the sky not far from the airship formation due to urgent matters, or pass by on the road below the formation. It is purely due to Hobert and the others' bad luck. .

The sun appeared in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the earth, quickly dispersing the fog.

Hobert saw smoke rising from the villages of Feysac Empire, and the day's work was about to begin.

The Fusac Empire can basically only produce one season of food every year. After the harvest in August and September, the cold winter will follow.

Before the snow closes the mountains, enough firewood needs to be cut to keep them warm throughout the winter.

In previous years, October has already entered a period of rest for people.

But this year is different. The war has begun, and young people in the village have been drafted into the army to participate in military training during the summer.

Now they are all on the battlefield on the southern coast of the Sea of ​​​​Jianghai and the Amanda Mountains.

The middle-aged people, children, and elderly people in the village go to the workshops in the small town to produce military products.

The entire country continues to operate through this year's harsh winter.

This suddenly reminded Hobert of a theory about "atomic peace." That theory probably said that after having nuclear bombs, it didn't mean that people were afraid of destroying the whole world, so they stopped fighting a world war.

Rather, the decision-makers who made war plans and the capitalists who hoped to benefit from the war were just as likely to die from nuclear weapons as the children of farmers and workers who were sent to the battlefield, and were even more likely to die than soldiers on the front line. .

That's why a world war can no longer be fought.

Hobert took a deep breath and looked at the countryside under his feet that was full of fireworks: I originally thought that gods were the "nuclear deterrent" of this world, but now it seems that there is still a big difference between the two.

Most of the time, gods can intimidate each other, but sometimes, they are the biggest source of instability.

As the sun gets higher, the views get better and better.

When the fog completely dissipated, St. Milon could be clearly seen with telescopes.

Malwa observed carefully and began to order the airship formation to make final adjustments to its flight direction.

Fearing that the enemy would detect the flashing lights, the airships communicated with each other using semaphores.

Everyone held their breath and didn't even dare to speak too loudly.

The palms of the commanders such as Marwa were already covered in sweat, not only from nervousness but also from excitement.

The bombing target was right in front of us, and it was getting closer. We could already clearly see the carriages coming in and out of the factories, and the figures of workers carrying goods.

At this time, their inner urgency reached its peak, and they hoped to appear above the bombing target in the next second.

Suddenly, a fiery snake rose from the ground and swept towards the airship formation.

Malva commanded loudly: "Block the flames' attack!"

The "lawyer" path demigod from the Tony family who came to assist in promotion "twisted" the fire snake to the rear and did not hit the airship.

Still found!

This also means that the raid has begun. Malva ordered: "Sound the bell, stop hiding, and move forward at full speed!

"Be prepared to drop bombs. If unfortunately you are hit, you must drop all the bombs you carry before falling."

The officers of other airships can hear Malwa's orders very clearly!

This is the "Hunter" path demigod, a very practical ability. Within a certain range, he can convey orders to his subordinates without any obstacles.

Jingle bell bell~

The electric bells of the 24 airships were sounded almost at the same time, and all officers and soldiers of the entire fleet were in place. The lookouts had opened the lookouts in the observation windows, ready to guide the bombing.

Woo~

A long air defense siren sounded on the ground. Amidst loud greetings to the ancestors of the Loen people, the air defense troops on the ground were the first to react, running to carry ammunition and preparing to fight back with anti-aircraft machine guns.

But they did not find the target immediately, because from the ground, the airship formation still existed in the form of clouds.

Even the demigod who noticed something was wrong didn't know what was contained in the cloud. He just guessed that it was an airship or a hot air balloon or something like that.

At the same time, the demigod felt that the power forming the clouds was very advanced, so he did not dare to continue the attack. Instead, he asked the air defense forces to warn him while praying to his own angels.

…

In the command room, after giving a series of orders, Malwa said to Hobert: "Please help us reach the top of the target as soon as possible."

Hobert nodded, first "amplifying" the forward speed of the airship formation, and then using a non-stop "twisting" method, he reached the top of the San Milon Industrial Zone in three or four seconds.

If the "Creator" takes action, the time to enter Saint Milon will probably be faster.

But that is likely to attract the attention of the God of War. According to the previous agreement between the gods, maybe He will descend directly.

The "creator" is just an empty frame. It's okay to hide it from angels, but in front of the gods, it may be exposed immediately.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control from the beginning, Hobert still chose to take action himself.

…

On the ground, the soldiers of the air defense force saw more than twenty airships rushing out of the clouds like arrows and entering the industrial zone in a blink of an eye.

After a second or two, under the officer's loud order, everyone seemed to have come to their senses, turned the anti-aircraft machine guns, and fired into the air.

…

The Extraordinaries on the airship either "twisted" the bullets like tongues of fire, or summoned a wall of fire to block the bullets.

But it was still only able to defend against part of the attack. Bullets still hit the airship and penetrated the wooden structure. Several soldiers on the airship who were unfortunately hit by anti-aircraft bullets were hit by anti-aircraft bullets and their limbs were broken. Blood sprayed on the floor.

"Drop bombs!" Malva immediately ordered, no matter whether the location was appropriate or not, "No need to aim, drop bombs immediately, drop all the bombs!"

Strips of flames shot up from the ground into the sky, and the opponent's demigods began to attack!

Five airships were dropped without a single bomb, but they were hit by flames, ignited a fire, exploded again, and fell rapidly to the ground.

The remaining airships quickly dropped their bombs. In order to drop them quickly, some extraordinary people even dropped the bomb bays at once, scattering them to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers.

The flames on the ground began to sweep the bombs that were dropped, and most of the bombs exploded in mid-air.

Boom~

As Hobert "distorted" the position of three bombs, causing them to explode in the streets of St. Milon.

Malwa immediately shouted an order: "Retreat, retreat at full speed! We have won the victory!"
