Chapter 164 47 This Is Your War

Chapter 164 47. This is your war

At the place where the underground cave connects with the underground river, the direction of the coast can be vaguely seen from the rift valley above. The starlight in a doomsday place is not very bright, and it should not be able to see through the darkness of the night.

But tonight is an exception.

The towering Osborne Tower is burning like a torch, and the light it emits illuminates the entire coast like daylight, like a beacon guiding the armed warriors to their goals.

Large groups of lizardmen carried armed shelter residents along the cold underground river and disappeared into the shadowy darkness ahead. Although Captain Jack incited everyone with the help of Mary Jane and Jameson, Not everyone is suitable for the battlefield.

Women and children were still left in the caves of the underground people, and some thin lizardmen children were not allowed to follow their parents into the desolate and dangerous night.

Dr. Otto was there to comfort them, but someone else was responsible for protecting these old, weak, women and children.

Demon Knight Jason Blood is standing on a raised rock in an underground cave.

His exquisite and old-fashioned dress was incompatible with the surrounding environment, but he did not care about this strange contrast, but looked at the direction of Osborne Tower with his calm eyes.

As an old knight who has lived for more than a thousand years and experienced countless conflicts and wars, he has enough tactical literacy to discern what kind of threats and dilemmas these rebels will encounter tonight.

"They are destined to be just supporting roles! If that Mason Cooper had any common sense, he should not send these 'armed farmers' into the frontal battlefield.

Or maybe he was a cold-blooded bastard who didn't care about sacrifice, and wanted to use the lives of these poor people to pave the way for victory. "

The voice of the demon Etrigan echoed in Jason's heart. It said to the old knight in the malicious and cold tone that a hell creature should have:

"Although we have not seen those liquidators with our own eyes, if those mad dogs are one-tenth as powerful as the rumors say, they can cause a post-apocalyptic massacre tonight.

Do you still want to look at it like this? Jason, you and I both know what Mason is waiting for. "

The demon let out a deep laugh.

it says:

"He is urging you to appear in this way. He knows that only we can be the core force that determines tonight's victory or defeat. Perhaps when he and Constantine, who deserves to go to hell but dare not go to hell, lure us into this world, He had already made a plan.

Well, look at this feeling of being expected, it's as dazzling as red-hot coals in the Nine Hells.

Do you have to wait until the finale? "

The old knight made no answer.

His gaze remained on the night sky where Osborne Tower was burning and lit. A heavy rain seemed to be brewing in the gloomy clouds. In the gap between the dark clouds and mist, he could clearly see the carriages on which the liquidators were riding. The troop transport flew through the darkness, and there was the huge weapon like a floating island and a giant beast hovering in the sky over the outer sea.

It was the mothership of the Cleaners, like a strange black fish rushing out of hell.

Judging from its size alone, once that thing flies over Osborne Tower, it may only take one salvo of firepower to solve all the problems on the ground.

That is the occupiers' stronghold in this apocalyptic world, and it is also a proof of those mad dogs showing off their force.

"This is not my war."

Jason Blood finally withdrew his gaze and said quietly to the restless demon in his body:

“I do not represent myself, I swore an oath to the world at the conference table in the House of Mysteries never to compromise with these villains of the stars.

The truce with Mason was as far as I could go. "

"Hypocrisy! Haha, you are not a guy who can be bound by an oath, otherwise you would not have betrayed your King Arthur back then."

Etrigen sneered:

"You duplicitous old man, you and I both knew you were going to be involved, it was just a matter of time. Well, look, your little protector seems to be planning on doing something dangerous."

On the other side, Xiaomei Parker, who was wearing a black spider suit, also sneaked into the crowd. This surprisingly courageous little girl was happily planning to follow her uncles and aunts to Osborne Tower for a walk.

In addition to worrying about her mother, she also wanted to see her father become a superhero again.

After all, she grew up listening to Spider-Man's heroic stories.

"Where are you going?"

Just when Little May Parker was about to sneak into the weapons box being pulled by several lizardmen, a deep voice suddenly sounded beside her, startling the little girl.

She raised her head and saw Uncle Demon Knight holding a cup of coffee, looking at her expressionlessly with one hand in his pocket.

"I"

The little girl trusted the uncle who saved her.

She wanted to make up a story, but Jason Blood didn't give her this chance. He stretched out his hand and lifted Xiaomei's collar with two fingers to lift her away from the box and back to the river bank.

He shook his head, took a sip of the fragrant coffee, and said:

"That's not the place you should go. If you go there, you will only cause trouble. Be good and stay here is the greatest help to your parents."

"oh."

Xiaomei nodded in disappointment, but then she tilted her head and looked at Jason Blood and said:

"Uncle, aren't you going? You are so powerful, you can definitely help!"

"I have fought too many battles and seen too many conflicts and deaths. Even before I died for the first time, I was tired of the endless strife."

The demon knight shook his head and said softly:

"So now, I just want to quietly enjoy this scene that will definitely go down in history. You are still young and you don't understand. This is your war.

It's not mine, at least not yet.

Don't be afraid, little girl.

As a knight, since I promised your parents to protect you, I will fulfill my duty to the end. "

——

On a certain floor of the honeycomb-shaped residential building on the ground floor of Osborne Tower, Barbara Gordon, who has quietly controlled the city's firepower, is constantly changing the positions of cameras all over the city.

Two barrels were guarding her with weapons in hand.

Behind the two people was a middle-aged couple who were tied up and stuffed with torn socks in their mouths, with frightened expressions on their faces. Apparently these two guys used some not-so-peaceful means to get themselves a makeshift safe house.

"They're here, and the image is shared on your helmet."

Barbara stared at the screen of the microcomputer on her arm, and said something to Erbun beside her. Jason Todd nodded, and the Osborne Tower appeared in the front visor of his red technology helmet. A scene around the landing black aircraft in the messy area below.

He could see a group of heavily armed soldiers jumping from the sides of the shuttle.

They formed a queue in a silent but well-trained manner. Under the protection of the gunship aircraft hovering at high altitudes responsible for fire support and transporting troops, several guys who looked like commanders stepped out of the aircraft.

The old Green Goblin, who had changed into a black formal suit, and his assistants were there to greet these guys.

Behind them in the night, nearly a hundred shuttle-type troop carriers were landing in every corner of the city. It was obvious that the liquidators wanted to take over the attacked city to protect the important resource Gravityium stored here.

"These commanders are not the targets we need to worry about. Old Norman promised to deal with them. We must weaken the power of this liquidator as much as possible before the underground people enter the battlefield.

At least their air superiority must be eliminated. "

Mason's voice sounded in the communicator, and he began to assign tasks and said:

"Barbara, set a target for the city defense weapons. After the old Green Goblin starts, we will take action immediately and destroy as many of the liquidator's gunships as possible in the first round of attacks.

Leave the rest to Charles and Zacon. "

"Mason, Norman just delegated the arsenal authority of Osborne Tower to me."

Barbara reminds:

"There are also several special types of cruise missiles in this city, the kind with tactical nuclear warheads! Maybe we can use them to attack the liquidator's island station offshore.

There are almost 1,500 people guarding it, as well as the mothership suspended in the sky! That thing is the big one. I detected a pretty terrifying energy reaction. Even nuclear bombs may not be able to destroy it. "

"No, leave all the big fireworks on the liquidator's island. That war carrier is not our target. Someone will help us solve it."

Mason replied:

"Wait until the war starts here and then launch the missiles. Don't alert the enemy. After the war starts, you can adjust the layout of the city defense weapons. This is the only advantage we have.

Ergong, come and meet us near the gate of Area C of the city. We will start the assault from there.

The 'Lizard Knights' that Jack found for us will also enter the city from there. "

"receive."

Ergong responded and patted Barbara on the shoulder to tell her to protect herself.

Then he jumped out of the window of the cramped hive room and disappeared into the quiet and gloomy night.

"Are you trying to bring Jason Blood in?"

On Mason's side, after hearing the conversation between him and Barbara, Zha Kang, who was preparing magic materials, came over and asked in a low voice.

Mason held a military telescope and observed the Liquidator gunships flying in the sky. He said without looking back:

"It's not that I want to bring the demon knight in, but he is already in this war. If he still has some sense, he would know that he should help us at this time.

When we're done, the Liquidators' next target will be him.

He doesn't want to pay the price of being cursed by his soul. Using the World Gate to return to Gotham is equivalent to being trapped in this world. I don't know if the Demon Knight realizes this.

His fate and the fate of this world have been bound together. "

"Well said, but I think you may underestimate the stubbornness of an old guy who has lived for more than a thousand years."

Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring and curled his lips and said:

"Jason Blood is a character as stubborn as a stone in a pit. No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do. In fact, I feel that even more than a thousand years have not changed his character. .

He is still the Holy Grail Knight seeking atonement, missing Camelot that he can never go back to, and he pays great attention to some exaggerated etiquette.

The most important thing is that he has power, so he has the freedom to choose. He can wait until our entire army is wiped out before choosing to send the magic weapon down from the sky.

You should at least send someone to invite, I mean persuade.

You have to give people a step down.

After all, the relationship between us and him is still theoretically hostile, but now it's just a truce. "

"Don't worry, he will come."

Mason put down the telescope, pulled out the Widowmaker rifle from behind, curled his lips and said to Zha Kang:

"The righteous knight will not sit back and watch the weak being slaughtered, and the vicious demon does not want to miss the fun of making a scene. He has enough reasons to convince himself.

All we have to do is wait until he shines. "

"boom"

After the buzzer-like gunfire under the action of the silencer, three of the liquidator soldiers patrolling close to here were knocked down by a bullet. At the same time, they were turning their guns from a high place to aim at the liquidators here. His hand was also pierced through his chest by a golden sword.

The four-man patrol was wiped out in an instant, and the female pirates Angelina and Old Peter soon came forward and dragged the bodies over. Mason and others took out their clothes and put them on while checking the condition of these soldiers.

“With such obvious signs of transformation, part of their internal organs were removed to suppress their physiological needs, and some strange things were implanted to alter their brain secretion.

Look, they implanted something in these guys' spines. "

Mason was half-kneeling next to a corpse, wearing medical gloves and frowning as he looked at the unrecognizable soldier in front of him.

The latter's eyes were replaced with penetrating electronic prosthetic eyes. There were rough stitching marks on the chest and arms, and there were some kind of black implant stitches on the back along the spine, like a twisted centipede.

This scene made the K team members beside them frown. They doubted whether these guys could still be called "human beings" after such a degree of transformation.

"Just like the 'demonic' army under Darkseid, the physical fitness of these mad dogs has been improved to an exaggerated level. It would be a bit of a stretch to defeat ten of them, but it shouldn't be a big problem to defeat five of them."

Zha Kang also smoked a cigarette and applied some kind of medicine on the arm muscles of the corpse. He looked at the spots left after the medicine penetrated, checked it with some very magical means, and said:

"Although there is still a soul left, there are basically no emotional fluctuations, just like a robot. Hey, what is this thing?"

He reached out and pushed the corpse's head that had been smashed by Mason outwards, holding back his nausea and taking out a piece of blood-stained silver circuit board-like thing among the bloody flesh.

"Let me see."

Mason took it and took it in his hand, and the information label immediately popped up:

Submissive personality replacement chip insertion

Quality: Standard Engineering, Precision Manufacturing, Standard Craftsmanship

Item effect: Implanted into the brain slot to complete personality replacement and data learning, cancel emotional fluctuations, activate the combat prosthetic body when receiving orders, and stimulate the secretion of adrenaline to make the host enter a [violent] state.

Producer: The 37th Precision Manufacturing Workshop of the Logistics Department of the Liquidator Corps

Item description: If you can upload a [self-killing] virus into their chip, you can make them dance while blowing their own heads apart.

"It is the black technology of the 2077 world."

Mason crushed the thing in his hands and said to his teammates:

"The Afterlife Team should be very familiar with these gadgets. They are used in Night City to mass-produce company dogs and thugs who will not resist. I guess these soldiers are recruited in batches from other worlds.

It doesn't matter who they were before, the Liquidators have the tools to turn them into deadly warriors. "

He turned to look at the silent old spider and asked softly:

"Were some of the heroes who participated in the Doomsday War with you captured?"

Peter nodded gravely.

After witnessing the control chips in the minds of the Cleaner soldiers, Spider-Man has begun to mourn the fate of his captured friends.

But at the same time, there was an even more angry flame burning in his heart. He moved his fingers and looked at the city in front of him that was being taken over by the liquidators at night.

He no longer refused the shotgun offered by Mason, and threw the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth to the ground. He said:

"Do it, Mason."

Mason stood up, stretched his neck, and said to everyone around him:

"Team K declares that we will never become a spurned hound. We declare that we are good people and should do something different from the bad guys. This war is indeed not in our interests, but it's time to go to TM's interests. Bar.

Come on, guys.

Let's burn these mad dogs to ashes! "
