Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 218: To rush or not to rush

The fighting in the inner city is getting louder and louder, and the war spreads across the city at an extremely fast speed.

The explosion shock wave of the large-scale firearm was higher than one wave, and a mushroom cloud was raised up. The tall buildings collapsed in the violent explosion. The roar was like a thunderstorm, and the flames burned half of the sky.

The bustling inner city suddenly fell into chaos.

It was midnight when the pirates attacked, and the residents were dreaming when they were suddenly awakened by this violent movement.

Because the pirates had figured out the information in advance, they knew that the people who lived on the top floors of the most urban areas were the richest. When they rushed in, more than a dozen squad leaders led tens of thousands of vicious pirates and rushed into the mansions of various big families. looting.

The guards that the big families usually raise have second- and third-order professionals, and they are well equipped. They are already considered top-level defense forces in the old Lingdon, and they thought they were enough to deal with any robbers.

But in front of this group of pirates who are all fifth-order professionals, they are like a piece of paper, and they are completely vulnerable.

The pirates were like a pack of wolves, plunging into a flock of sheep that had no resistance.

"Brothers, hurry up, the boss has spoken, grab it for two days first! Girls, treasure, whoever grabs it will be the one!"

"Hahaha, here's your chance to make a fortune!"

"The women in the ground are so fucking tender, they are a hundred times better than those women on the ship whose skin is so rough that they can be used as sandpaper! My darling, the ladies of the legendary high-ranking noble families in the empire, I'm afraid that's the same. alright."

"Quack brothers, rush!"

"."

As Su Lun and the others judged, the pirates did not have the ability to occupy the territory, they just came to loot.

The support of the Duchy of Raphael is coming, and the warship will take three days at the earliest. It means that these few days, the pirates can let go of burning, killing and looting.

Here comes the nightmare of the inhabitants of Old Lington.

In the seventh district of the inner city, there is a luxurious mansion with a white stone statue fountain and a colorful tulip garden on the top of the tallest building in Old Lington.

There is a lively dinner going on here.

This was once the property of the Reyes family, but because the owner, Carnegie Reyes, sold the property crazily, this property, which represented the identity of the first chaebol in the inner city, was also sold.

Now, it has become the home base of former rival Anderson Consortium.

After the battle of the burrow, the major forces in the inner city were reshuffled, and the Anderson family faintly had the atmosphere of the old Lingdun No. 1 consortium.

Patriarch Anderson is having a feast for the guests today. The patriarchs of Clark, Oliver, David, and Smith, and their wives and young ladies gathered together to exchange cups. It was so lively.

They celebrate the victory of many years of struggle.

The Reys family sold all kinds of important assets, and since then they have been out of the game and have no chance to turn around.

Since then, the inner city is what they have to say.

But unexpectedly, it came very suddenly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang"

The violent fighting from the center of the black tower blinded the group of high-ranking people who were wearing luxurious dresses in the banquet hall.

Someone attacked the ducal palace?

The inner city is not small, and the news of the pirates' appearance has spread all over the big families.

"Master, madam, it's not good! A group of robbers rushed out of the duke's palace, and they killed anyone they saw."

"Where's the guard? Quickly inform the guard!"

"Mr. Bert, something is wrong! A bunch of robbers seem to be coming towards us in the seventh district. Among them are ultra-level professionals, very strong. The city defense team couldn't stop it, and they were scattered in an instant."

"No, the thief has already rushed into the building, and the captain of the guard Mark was killed, and the guards can't stop it!"

"."

The bad news keeps coming, and the changes are overwhelming.

A few minutes ago, when they heard the movement, this group of big people in the inner city could still maintain their graceful calm.

Although they didn't know what the so-called "robber" was, they were accustomed to being ruled by the duke's palace, thinking that the powerful city guard could defeat the robber.

After all, in their eyes, the Black Tower Guard has the power to destroy everything.

I never thought that every communication was bad news.

The bandits were like a torrent, unstoppable.

After the Duke's Mansion was breached, the city guards were unable to stop them at all, and the group of robbers came directly into the building at a speed that was completely unprepared.

Only then did this group of masters and wives realize it, and they began to flee in a hurry.

However, it was too late.

Moments after the news came, a few pirates who had unwrapped their wing suits landed on the roof, blocking everyone's way.

The banquet invited Meg Owen, the president of the Wild Hunting Guild, a third-order professional "Demon".

This is the powerhouse at the top of the pyramid in the old town of Lington.

Looking at the uninvited guests, he exclaimed in a loud voice, "Who are you?"

I never thought that before the voice fell, a human head fell to the ground.

Tier 3 powerhouse, one face to face, die!

The pirate squad leader in the red hood killed Meg and wiped the bloody knife in his hand with disdain.

In these few breaths, several of his subordinates also killed the first- and second-order guards.

The remaining group of old ladies huddled in the banquet hall and shivered.

With a greedy smile on the face of the pirate chief in the red hood, he did not continue to kill.

He swaggered into the banquet hall, grabbed a handful of meat from the table full of sumptuous food and fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit into his mouth, "Tsk tsk, you guys will enjoy it."

He took another sip of red wine and enjoyed it all over his face.

At this time, he happened to look at a gorgeously dressed lady not far from the dining table, and walked over with lustful eyes.

The lady in the blue low-cut long dress was retreated to the corner, her face turned pale with fright, and there was no way to retreat.

The red-turbaned pirate grabbed her, and in front of hundreds of people in the banquet hall, a pair of rough hands rudely touched the woman's chest. He seemed to enjoy that unusual smoothness, grinning his smoky yellow teeth, "Hey, this bitch is so fucking smooth."

The woman screamed in fright and wanted to break free, but the red-turbaned pirate ripped off her long skirt.

"Thorn!" The long skirt was torn to pieces.

The lady's upper body was exposed to the air.

Elegance lost, full of panic.

Looking at the lady who hurriedly covered her chest and the pirates beside her, she laughed.

And watching the lady being humiliated, a man in a suit stood up.

"you"

But just as he was about to say something, a blood line appeared on his neck, and the head fell to the ground.

The human body fountain was staged in front of him, and more than a hundred people in the banquet hall looked like quails in fright, shrinking their necks at the same time, and no one dared to speak again.

This group of pirates, with their absolute strength, let the top dignitaries like Old Lingdon see what is meant by "weakness is the original sin".

"Anyone else to speak?"

The red-hooded pirate looked around, "No one wants to say anything, then listen to Lao Tzu!"

He sneered and shouted loudly: "I am the captain of the seventh division of the Fourth Fleet under Lord Oleg. Now I will give you a chance to live and pay for your life."

Pirates are very experienced in robbery, and the doorway of kidnapping and extortion is very skilled.

They are very clear that it is much more efficient to control this group of "big men" than to find the treasure by themselves.

Blood was everywhere in the banquet hall, and the human fountain on the ground was still throbbing. The ladies and gentlemen have long been frightened, and they dare not cooperate with each other.

This scene was staged all over the inner city.

The mansions of various big consortiums became the first places to be visited by pirates.

Pirates looted the city.

at the same time,

The secret laboratory in Old Ringtown One.

This is the secret base for researching mechanical warriors, and even the top leaders of the umbrella organization have no authority to contact.

After the black tower was breached by pirates, the inner city guards were vulnerable, and the only place in the city that still had decent resistance was the Mechanical Research Institute.

With the help of the heavy mechanical gate and the mechanical warriors in the factory, the people in the research institute are still stubbornly resisting.

A group of pirates were attacking in a frenzy, but they couldn't get in for a long time.

"Damn it, attacking this laboratory is wasting so much time of Lao Tzu! The guys from the seventh division just sent a message to say that they couldn't fit the storage ring with their treasures, and the girls rushed to the point where their legs were weak. Wait for the general to come, Breaking this damned mechanical door, I have to stuff the head of the guy who ordered the door closed in P's eyes!"

"Captain, Archduke Raphael's 'Super Mechanical Soldier' ​​made a name for himself in the war. The blueprints on the black market have been bought at sky-high prices. 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 wealthy that there is such a mine. Now we can develop! By the way, is the general here?"

"almost there."

"."

Research all the mechanical gates, and most of the buildings are underground.

After closing the door, the guns are hard to destroy.

Unfortunately, there are sixth-order professionals in the pirates.

These are indestructible mechanical gates for Tier 3 and Tier 4 professionals. Under the attack of Tier 6 professionals, they won't last long.

Not long after, a woman with a bald head of nearly two meters came to the entrance of the institute.

"General!"

"General!"

"."

A group of pirates greeted each other.

This person was the deputy captain of the Fourth Fleet under the "King of the North Sea", and he offered a bounty of 881 million lisos to Gretis Olmedo, known as the "Lieutenant Admiral Sunfire". A sixth-order professional, awakened by a very rare talent [A-036-Flaming Girl], a fire element variant talent, which is said to originate from a female demon who controlled lava during the mythological period.

As soon as she came, there was no nonsense at all, and the double surgeon Yin pinched, and suddenly a raging fire suddenly erupted.

Looking at it again, the whole person turned into a state of magma, and every time he took a step, the lava flowing down his body burned into potholes on the ground, "squeaky" and smoked green smoke.

She put her hands on the mechanical gate and shouted, "Alchemy Volcano!"

A crimson seven-pointed star formation lit up, and suddenly her arm was like a volcanic eruption, and hot magma came out.

The lump of magma dripped onto the nearly one-meter-thick alloys, and it began to melt visibly to the naked eye.

A group of pirates looked at the door that was gradually breaking open, and their eyes were excited and fierce.

There was a lot of noise in the inner city, but on the other hand, the outer city was not affected.

The streets were covered with crowds watching the lively, pointing at the war in the inner city.

The pirates seem to be quite knowledgeable.

The outer cities are mostly low-rise old houses and post-war Syrian-style slums, and then there are a lot of factories with billowing white smoke. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing to grab.

Not a single pirate came to visit the outer city.

The pirates seem to have planned for a long time. After breaking through the black tower, several teams quickly grabbed several gates of the inner city, blocking the possibility of people from the inner city escaping, and came to catch the turtle in the urn.

Two days is enough for them to get a good wave.

After the news of the assembly of the mirror organization was sent out, the black market in the shadow alley of Beicheng.

It was only later that Su Lun learned that the black market was the base camp of the Mirror Organization in the old town of Lington.

And the organizer who I once thought was extremely mysterious was Mr. Jing.

In the secret basement deep underground, when Su Lun and Chijo came, three people in golden-patterned cloaks had already arrived.

The cloaks of the mirror organization look similar, but Su Lun now knows that they can actually distinguish their identities by the golden patterns on the cloaks.

Among the three in front of them, the one with the "mechanical gear" pattern is No. 19, the one with the "fist" symbol is the second-stage Red Devil Kai, and the one with a "book" pattern is Mr. Hei.

When the two came, everyone nodded to each other and did not speak.

Since Su Lun was a new member, the three gave him one more look.

But looking at the "black sickle" pattern on the cloak, everyone seems to have guessed Su Lun's identity.

After a few minutes, several more came.

Not counting Mr. Jing, there are only eight people in the Jing organization.

Except for the man with the "Rotten Flower" logo on his cloak, Su Lun had all seen it.

The atmosphere is serious.

It was these people standing together, and an invisible sense of oppression in the secret room instantly enveloped Su Lun.

Even if there is no 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 were all fourth-order professionals who had awakened their secondary talents.

To be able to awaken the second talent, this must also be a person who has experienced life and death, and has a killing aura.

This is a group of people with tigers in their hearts.

In the words of Mr. Jing, professionals who can awaken secondary talents were very rare a thousand years ago.

usually means

They have the ability to advance to the seventh rank and truly spy on the growth possibilities of the top alchemy field!

The crowd did not speak.

The pirate attack came very suddenly, and the intelligence in the mirror organization was very limited.

In the communicator, Sabina was still reporting 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 group of pirates.

Apart from the hidden forces of a few secret laboratories, there was hardly any effective counterattack organized in the city.

"Several huge abominations appeared in the No. 7 Biological Research Institute, and they were entangled with the pirates, but there are fifth-order professionals who have shot, it should not last long."

"The No. 1 Mechanical Research Institute has a large number of mechanical warriors participating in the battle, temporarily holding back the pirates. But there is also a very strong professional from the pirates who use the lava ability. They are about to break through the research institute."

"That group of pirates is very ferocious, and they kill anyone they see. The residents of the inner city suffered heavy casualties, especially the wealthy districts of the upper city and the residences of the major chaebols."

"."

Su Lun shared the real-time information, listening to the information, the atmosphere in the secret room became more solemn.

After a while, the mirror light flashed, the light and shadow condensed, and suddenly there was one more person in the secret room.

This kind of strange appearance seems to have been used by everyone, and no one was surprised.

The person who came was naturally Mr. Mirror.

"leader!"

All the people opened their mouths to signal.

In front of the strong, they all showed great respect.

Mr. Jing nodded and said directly: "The situation has almost been investigated. The good news is that Oleg, the "King of the North Sea", did not come, but the Fourth Fleet under his command. This group of pirates killed all the Guards stationed on the Black Barrier Reef, destroyed the defensive bans and traps along the way, and cleared a lot of trouble for us."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The legend of Oleg is an eighth-order professional, and one of the top powerhouses in the ground world.

Mr. Jing's strength has not fully recovered, that guy is coming, and there is almost no room for manipulation in this situation.

Not coming, which is really good news.

And those pirates opened up the road, which meant that there would be less trouble in rushing the tower.

But good news means bad news.

If not, after a pause, Mr. Jing continued: "But the bad news is that there are two sixth-order professionals in the fourth fleet, namely "Lieutenant Admiral Sun Yan" Gretis Olmedo, and also One was Gar Popov, the youngest son of the King of the North Sea, the Frost Troll. Both of them are very powerful, and their talents and abilities are also very tricky. With my current strength, I can handle one of them with certainty, but the two will be very difficult to deal with. In this group of pirates, there are more than a dozen fifth-order squad leaders and fourth-order vice-captains. If they attack the tower now, the risk will be great. So, I would like to ask everyone's opinion. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought.

Before the tower, it was a personal guard of Archduke Raphael. After planning for many years, many arrangements were clear, and the problem was not too big.

But now, the situation has changed.

They had to face the entire fleet of the "King of the North Sea".

The sixth-order professional who can make Mr. Jing say that it is difficult is definitely not that simple.

After all, the development space of the "mine" is limited. No matter how powerful these people are, no matter how good their growth talent is, they are only just entering the fourth rank.

Even the second-order talent and some special curses will make up for some combat power, which is barely a fifth-order, and it is very different from the sixth-order.

Hearing Mr. Jing's inquiries, what did the Red Devil Kai think of? He spoke first and said, "Judging from the current information, from the territory of Duke Raphael to the Black Tower, the warship will sail at full speed for up to two or three days. So this There is a high probability that the group of pirates will not stay, and 80% will withdraw after two days. We will wait until then to go out, there are no defenders and no pirates, it should be the safest plan. "

That said,

The crowd fell silent,

They feel something is wrong, but they can't figure out what is wrong.

If it were that simple, Mr. Jing would obviously not talk about it.

Su Lun frowned slightly when he heard this.

There's nothing wrong with Kay's analysis.

But because he lacked some necessary knowledge of the ground world, he did not take into account some factors.

Su Lun harvested some memory fragments from outside, probably the person who knows the outside world the most besides Mr. Jing.

Thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to inform him of some information that came to his mind, so he said, "I don't think it's a good choice to wait for the pirates to leave before rushing to the tower."

Saying this, everyone turned their attention to it.

Su Lun continued: "After all, when we leave the Black Barrier Reef, we need a ship that can withstand the wind and waves. If we wait for the pirates to leave, I don't think they will leave us a complete ship."

As soon as he said this, Kai also knew that he had overlooked something, and then he suddenly said to himself: "Yes. There is also the sea."

After a pause, he looked at Su Lun again, and asked again, "Do we need a boat, can we swim across it? If we need a boat, how big is it? Can we build it ourselves?"

"Swimming. Shouldn't be possible. The information shows that there are many terrifying sea beasts on the bottom of the sea. The safest thing to do is to take a big boat."

Su Lun's face twitched slightly, and he said, "The vicinity of the Black Barrier Reef is in a storm zone. The wind and waves nearby are very strong, and the weather changes irregularly. It is impossible for a small boat to safely let us cross the sea to land."

People in the underground world have never seen the sea and have no concept.

I don't even know what the standard of a sea ship is, and I don't know how weather, waves, and storms affect sailing.

Probably thought that the ocean was a bigger underground lake.

But after listening to Su Lun's simple analysis, everyone gradually understood.

They saw that Mr. Jing had been silent and did not speak, and naturally agreed with this statement.

I didn't ask much.

Now is not the time to explore this issue in detail.

Hearing this, Mr. Hei pondered for a moment, and agreed with Su Lun's statement, saying: "Well, I also agree with rushing to the tower now. Otherwise, after this pirate attack, the coordinates of the old Lington will be exposed in the ground world. The duke The government will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, and the defensive power of the black tower will be stronger in the future. The wealth of the old Lingdun is inestimable, and it is very likely that the royal family of the Luying Empire will also intervene. If you miss this opportunity, it will be no more difficult to rush out in the future than it is now. Small. What's more, the extermination of Princess Teresa's team this time may have caused the duke's palace to be alert. If it wasn't for the war between the two empires, Archduke Raphael would probably come to investigate in person. There may be some unforeseen changes.”

Hearing this, everyone also understood why Mr. Jing said that the risk of rushing to the tower was very high, and he did not mention the option of not rushing now.

It looks like they have a choice, but they don't.

Under the ground, it is impossible for Mr. Jing to fully recover to his peak strength, and she still needs to go outside to find some advanced materials.

Now "rushing the tower", the risk will be great.

But if you don't rush now, there will be more unforeseen problems later.

It is possible to be trapped here forever.

This said, everyone understood and expressed their opinions one after another.

Card: "I also think it's the best time to hit the tower now."

Chijo: "Yes!"

Ray: "Yes!"

The Mirror Organization is a very loose organization, and members have the right to choose.

We all come together, in fact, for the same goal.

They are all people who have experienced the great insight of life and death, and the choice is not difficult.

After a few simple sentences, all members voted in favor.

Mr. Mirror actually meant the same thing.

Actually it's a choice.

whether to participate.

Climbing the tower, we must have the consciousness of facing death.

After the voting was over, Mr. Jing didn't say much, and said, "Since everyone agrees with the action now, everyone will prepare separately. Two hours later, the secret passage will gather and prepare to attack the tower!"

Everyone: "Yes!"
