"...I just received an urgent message that a terrorist attack occurred near Century Square at [-]:[-] tonight. The military department has issued a level-A alert for the whole city. Citizens, please pay attention to safety..."

"...According to eyewitnesses, the other party shot down a helicopter, so far there is no news of any injuries..."

"...no one has yet claimed responsibility for the incident..."

"...A witness said he saw the Royal Guards escorting a bloody man to the Third Hospital, but the person in charge of the Third Hospital refused to disclose too much information about the injured..."

"...The following is the picture taken by eyewitnesses at that time..."

"...the Royal Guard refused to be interviewed..."

"...The Ministry of Intelligence will hold a press conference at ten o'clock..."

The TVs in the hospital lobby were broadcasting the nightly news in turn. Almost all the TV stations were reporting the incident just now. The urban area was in chaos, and there was a near stampede in the square.

Personnel from the intelligence department have come to block the venue one after another. The whole city is brightly lit, and the sirens of police cars can be heard everywhere, mixed with the screams of citizens.

No matter how tense the situation in the central region was, King Yar's city had never suffered such a terrorist attack. Not only the place where the incident happened, but also the whole country fell into panic and chaos for a while.

With his back supported, j7 paced restlessly in the lounge, Henry and others were also bandaging their wounds in the emergency room, the bodies of j4 and j9 had already been carried away, and there were only a few team members in the lounge.

Suddenly someone opened the door, waved at him, and signaled him to go out and talk.

j7 glanced at the team members, and walked out with a gun.

The people who came were not from the intelligence department, but members of the guard who had never participated in the protection of Mu Qingtong. After seeing j7, they said excitedly: "Edward and Charles..."

"It was targeted." J7 said, "the other party has a sniper, a1 didn't clean up the surrounding area, and a2 even killed the plane and people. I don't know how the missile got in. The intelligence department is still investigating."

"Where's the captain?"

j7 pointed to the direction of the emergency room: "I was swept by a2's propeller, and I'm treating the wound. If you have anything to do, just ask me, don't look for him."

The visitor was silent for a while, obviously still not convinced of this tragic fact, he gasped and stared at the ground for a long time without any response.

The two stood on the balcony at the end of the corridor. Outside were the news searchlights of media reporters, which were very bright and dazzling. There were still reporters downstairs who were constantly taking pictures of the hospital. j7 pulls him back, signaling him not to appear in the camera.

The man supported his waist with his hands and changed his breath several times before he managed to calm down his heart rate.

"Is there anything wrong with the palace?" J7 asked.

"No, our side is quite peaceful. We were stunned when we heard the explosion, and it turned out to be your place."

j7 didn't speak.

"What's going on today, why did you even hang up on A2?" The team member was in disbelief, he put his hand on his forehead, and was very emotional, "I heard from the intelligence department that there was a pregnant woman lying in the operating room. What the hell are you doing... What are you doing outside all this time?"

j7 shook his head, sighed, and said after a while: "You know what a fart."

"..."

"That's the princess. What's in his stomach is the crown prince's child, the future little prince of the empire." j7 said.

Central region, dungeon, coordinates unknown.

"Is there any news from the other side?"

The man glanced at the dungeon and replied, "No response."

"Did we really guess wrong? This kid is fine...just..." The speaker made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The other person hesitated for a while, and said: "You can figure it out, anyway, I don't think I can ask anything."

inside the cell.

Damian was hanging in the air dying, the wound was already festered and festered, and the sticky, colorless liquid dripped down the ankle to the ground, making a "click" sound.

He struggled to open his swollen eyes, and looked at the cracked rock above his head. In the tiny gap, he could see the corner of the bright moonlight and the bright starry sky.

Central region, Thorn Legion Command.

All the officers were staring at the display screen of the real-time battle situation. In front of Jiang Yao was a complicated console with a metal lever on it.

The adjutant stood beside Jiang Yao, and someone coughed softly, which echoed in the room.

Jiang Yao glanced at the coughing officer, who immediately suppressed his discomfort and put his hands behind his back.

There are still four strongholds in this area that have not been captured. They originally planned to break through consecutively within a week, and they are still holding meetings on specific plans.

But after Jiang Yao answered the call, his mood fluctuated greatly, and he immediately dismissed all conservative plans, and personally dispatched all the troops on the front line to stand by immediately, and he was bound to end all offensive missions tonight.

A brigadier general refuted, but was dismissed by Jiang Yao on the charge of "disobeying the military order", and the entire conference room fell silent.

Even though Jiang Yao's style is tough, his current state is obviously crazy.

No one knows that thousands of miles away, his lover of two lifetimes and his child are still being rescued in the operating room, life and death are uncertain; no one knows the deeper meaning of this war; A throne at stake.

All they saw was a rioting emperor on the verge of collapse.

"Your Highness..." After a long time, the adjutant finally broke the silence.

The screen was divided into small pieces, and dialog boxes popped up one after another, with the words "ready" written all over them.

Jiang Yao was wearing a straight military uniform with the royal imperial medal hanging on the lapel. He put his hand on the lever and looked at the screen again. The red in his eyes had not faded, and his eyes were determined and indifferent.

When the last dialog box popped up, Jiang Yao slowly pushed down the lever.

"Scavenger plan, start."

After the Thunder missiles at the four locations received the order, the launch pads were lifted up at the same time. The smoke from the missile launch filled the entire launch site. point.

The satellite lasers of the missile defense system are already in place, and the four lasers are located at four locations, slowly advancing in the atmosphere at the speed of the planet's rotation.

Dozens of large-scale ground-to-ground missiles were launched together, each equivalent to a 20-ton bomb. The moment it landed, the sound of the explosion resounded through the sky, and billowing smoke and flames engulfed everything.

The ground turned up in an instant, and the huge rock that split several tons flew up more than ten feet high. The mountains gave out a long echo, and a crack was suddenly wiped open on the mountainside with the vibration frequency of the explosion!

The whole mountain sat down in parallel in an instant, the gravel rolled down, the dust and sand covered the sky and the sun, and the stars and the moon were no longer visible when looking up.

That moment was no less than the real end of the world. The guns that allowed them to show off their might were still in their hands, but at this moment they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. No one could be spared from this massacre, and they could only pray The footsteps of death come slowly.

Shout, scream, survive, fight...

Human beings were wantonly crushed in this explosion like humble ants, and the scythe of death harvested every life, pulling them up by the roots, leaving no dregs behind.

Then missiles were launched from these four locations in an attempt to resist, but the satellites had been in place for a long time, and the lasers instantly passed through the atmosphere, cutting straight through the clouds, chasing each missile and intercepting it one by one.

The flames bursting in the air are as gorgeous as fireworks, the thick black smoke is like dancers from hell, and the faint light of the fire is their smiles.

The officers at the command center held their breaths and stared intently at the real-time images from the monitor. No one dared to break the silence, as if speaking would stop the massacre.

Jiang Yao remained expressionless, supporting the console with his hands, and glanced coldly at each monitor screen with sharp eyes.

In this night, he might lose his confidant who followed him for ten years, he might lose his classmate who was devoted to the country, he might even lose his child, and lose the person he loves most again...

Maybe he will have nothing.

dungeon.

The mercenary untied the chains that bound Damian. He was hung for several days. The muscles in his wrists had already begun to die. The moment he was released, he fell to the ground like a dead dog. His hands and feet had already lost consciousness. The straw on the ground inserted into the festering wound did not make a sound.

The other party kicked him and shouted: "Grandson, can you still wake up?"

Damian was naked and curled up on the ground. His originally tall body looked a little thin at this moment. He still didn't say a word, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Damn it." The other party cursed, and said not far away, "I still want to get him out and kill him, but now he's so fucking bad, he just collapsed here, and we're going to take him out after it's over? "

Before waiting for the other party's answer, the mercenary took out a pistol and loaded it, put his index finger on the trigger, knelt down and put the muzzle of the gun on Damian's head, glanced at his lower body, and lowered his head not far from his ear Chu whispered: "Grandson, you still have to die by my hands, but I still have to tell you the truth about one thing, your bird is quite big..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished his sentence, several piercing and sharp whistles flew across the sky, followed by an overwhelming explosion, the walls of the dungeon were instantly torn apart, and the loose rocks on the ceiling were shaken down and smashed to the ground.

"Why..." He raised his head in horror and subconsciously said, but the words were cut off in his throat.

Damian, who didn't have many vital signs, suddenly jumped up at this time, snatched the gun from his hand with great force, and pulled the trigger almost at that moment, piercing his chest. temple.

The bullet pierced his head, and blood spurted out, and he stared at Damian with wide eyes as if he was dying.

Damian stood up slowly, looked down at him, sneered, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Thank you for the compliment."

At this time, the dungeon has become very dangerous. Judging from the falling speed of the surrounding stones, it can be inferred that it will collapse in a short while. Damian quickly took off the mercenary's clothes, and put them on himself. Neatly shot and fled outside.

During the period, some fragments hit him, and a new blood was drawn, but his nerves seemed to be unable to feel the pain, as if he had been numb to it.

The instinct to survive made him forget everything. He wants to go back, he must go back, see his parents, see Jiang Yao, see Schwartz...

King Yaer City, the Third Hospital.

"Old Qi, how long has it been since you've been in?" Henry limped out of the emergency room, with a team member supporting him beside him.

"One and a half hours." j7 said.

"Captain, are you alright?"

"team leader!"

Henry waved his hand, signaling to the team members to stay calm, and he pulled J7 to the side.

j7 said: "There is no news yet. When I went in, the doctor said that the situation was a little dangerous. I have already called His Highness, but he hasn't replied yet."

"Aren't any players interviewed by the media?" Henry asked.

"No, I shut them all up." j7 replied.

Henry nodded and patted j7 on the shoulder.

"What did the crown prince say?" Henry asked again.

"His Royal Highness asked the hospital to save Mu Qingtong as much as possible, without mentioning the child." J7 took out the communicator and handed it to Henry, "Why don't you ask again?"

Henry reached out to take it, but instead of calling Jiang Yao's number, he called another one.

After a while the phone was connected.

"Hello, I'm Henry, Captain of the Royal Guard." He introduced himself.

"What's the matter?" the person on the phone asked.

"Not yet, the princess is still in the operating room, and the operation should be going well." Henry glanced at j7, and said, "Is your Highness okay now?"

"Your Highness..." Yi Ermo watched Jiang Yao's image on the monitor screen for a while, and replied, "Your Highness is fine now, but he temporarily changed the battle plan, and now he is fully attacking the enemy army, and there is still half an hour left The bombing, and then the mopping up work... If there is no accident, he can rush back to the capital tomorrow."

Henry held the communicator in silence for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll contact you again if there is a situation."

"Wait." Ermo said suddenly.

"how?"

"Now the crown prince can't be stimulated. He alone is in command of the whole battle. If, I mean, if something happens to the princess, don't tell him for now. You can tell him after this battle is over, okay?" Irmo lowered his voice, walked to a corner where there was no one, and begged.

Henry said solemnly: "Okay."

The city of Yar, the coordinates are unknown.

Schwartz covered himself with a quilt and lay shivering on the bed. The pain in his lower back became worse and worse, and his hands and feet became colder and colder.

Those two teeth were pried out when he was 17 years old, and they were handed over to the people of the intelligence department to cast them empty, and the assembly parts of the tracker were stuffed inside.

This is a method that is only used as a last resort. When Lawson wanted to pry his teeth, he still resisted very much and lay down on the operating table and cried.

Unexpectedly, today he really saved his life.

After the two parts are combined, the GPS positioning will be automatically turned on. I hope Lawson can receive his call for help as soon as possible...

He was arrested, what happened to Mu Qingtong now?Did the boss know about this...

He was recruited while sitting in a taxi, why did he calculate the time when he got off work so precisely, and Mel let him get into the car so graciously...

What's the connection?

Schwartz breathed hot air into his hand, while thinking about it, he secretly took the broken tooth and put it back in place.

Seidka District.

Lawson stared at the screen, holding the communicator tightly in his hand, and finally saw a yellow dot light up near King Yar's city.

It flickers on the screen, as powerful as a heartbeat.

He dialed the string of numbers that he had already entered, and after connecting, he said: "Southern District of Yar City, coordinates 324, Agent Schwartz is there. The number of enemies is unknown, and the rest of the operation team is dispatched. The military department, let’s start a rescue operation together.”

"Yes, sir!"

"Have all the people who had contact with Schwartz this afternoon been detained, especially those in the network group?"

"It's done."

"Okay, you take the people there first, and I will pass on the positioning frequency band to you."

Central region, coordinates unknown.

After Damian stumbled to escape, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he couldn't speak. There were explosions everywhere, and there was no place to stay. The dense missiles kept flying down, and the lasers danced in the air.

In addition to the ruined buildings on the ground, there are many mercenary stumps, heads without torsos, or corpses with only upper body can be seen everywhere.

Blood all over the floor, brains all over the floor, pieces of meat all over the floor...

Even Damian, who had seen too many bloody scenes, couldn't help but want to vomit.

This place has become a hell on earth.

What happened during the time he was arrested?

Is Jiang Yao crazy...

Damian was holding a gun in his hand, and the scene was so chaotic that no one noticed him escaping from the dungeon for a while.

There were still three bullets in the gun. He took advantage of this gap to hide behind a relatively safe bunker, and killed a mercenary nearby.

As if he was tireless, he rushed over and dragged the enemy's body over.

The dead mercenary was still wearing a bulletproof vest. Damian weighed it for a while. Given his current physical condition, he would not be able to run too far wearing heavy clothes, so he took off the corpse's trousers and put them on for himself.

Then he fumbled in the corpse's pocket for a while and found the communicator.

But when he opened it, the signal was zero.

The missile destroyed the signal tower here.

Damian was holding the communicator, and suddenly felt dizzy. In the dungeon, the enemy seldom gave him food. At most, they gave him some liquid food to prevent him from dying. Now the hypoglycemia is very obvious after he comes out.

He closed his eyes to stabilize his body, then opened them, and began to grope around the corpse to see if there was any food that could replenish energy.

But in this case, almost no one brought food with them, and Damian searched from top to bottom twice but couldn't find any food.

I definitely can't go inside the house now, I don't know when the ceiling will fall down.

But if he doesn't eat, he can't go far. Now his condition is very bad, and he may collapse at any time...

Damian looked around for a while, time is running out, what should he do instead?

Then he moved his gaze back, stared at the corpse for a while, and took a deep breath as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

He grabbed the hem of the corpse and pulled him up. He tensed his masseter muscles, and his hands froze in the air, as if he had regretted it again.

After repeating this several times, he still sighed, and finally lowered his head to bite the neck of the corpse.

He tore off the piece of meat with his teeth, swallowed it whole, the gushing blood spattered his face, his stomach was churned by the fishy smell, and he almost vomited the meat he had just swallowed come out.

He forced himself to lower his head and bite the bitten place, and greedily began to suck the viscous blood to fill his extremely dehydrated body.

He wants to get out alive...

Suddenly there was a dull but extremely penetrating roar, and Damian immediately turned his head. The flames of the explosion in the darkness made everything invisible, and the mountain range not far from him broke from the middle and began to slide as a whole. The ground speed collapses.

"Iluvita..." Damian exclaimed the name of the main god, stood up with blood on his face, and reacted after two seconds, quickly picked up the rifle on the body of the corpse, found the explosion-proof blanket on his body and started Run for your life.

Collapsed buildings kept falling on his surroundings, and Damian ran forward with his legs wide open, black blood flowed out from his festering wound, staining his pants everywhere.

The earth and the mountains collided with the same frequency, which actually covered up the power of the missile attack, and the sky and the earth changed color.

Damian's eyes turned black for a while, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground several times, and the mud and sand embedded in his body, but he stood up again and again, and ran forward persistently.

The missiles were still firing, and the area was razed to the ground, bearing the anger of the Crown Prince who had nowhere to vent. Damian didn't dare to look back. There were people running for their lives in front of him.

They don't care about other survivors, only worrying about their own lives.

Damian's stomach was churning all the time, acid water poured into his throat, and the feeling of vomiting became more and more intense. He suppressed the discomfort and ran all the way with the gun, and the Angorion tattoo on his chest trembled like a living creature. Lying on his chest like a monster, it was extremely ferocious.

He forgot how much time passed, his legs seemed to be tied to a perpetual motor, pulling him forward...

After the missiles were fired, fighter jets and helicopters cleaned up the site. Damian knew this procedure well, so he managed to escape from the abandoned city and came to a high ground to stay.

He didn't know where he was and how far he was from the command post. With trembling hands, he took out the flashlight he had just found from his pants, pressed the switch persistently, and sent a distress signal into the air.

He was lying on the ground in a big character shape, and mechanically pointed his flashlight at the sky repeatedly, hoping to be seen by the plane. The stars above his head were still bright, and the silver moonlight reflected on the ground.

Finally, he waited until a helicopter with the logo of the Thorn Legion landed not far from him.

Damian smiled, closed his eyes, and murmured, "Damian Ferguson, Second Lieutenant of the Thorns Legion...requests to return to the team."
