Chapter 264 An Ominous Premonition
The rain was pouring down, and the sky was still as dark as ink.
When the battle in the city square came to an end, the siege in the southern corner of the city also came to an end.
One after another, the bloody corpses were moved outside the door, including cavalry and bounty hunters. Divided into two places, it can be clearly seen that there are far more corpses on the cavalry side than on the other side.
Large swathes of bright red blood melted into the rainwater, turning into a faint yellow color, and slowly spread along the gaps in the floor.
This battle, whose outcome was destined from the beginning, ended without any accidents and ended with the victory of the Police Department.
Dempsey, who was sitting under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, had a complicated face, ranging from ugly to excited. The excitement was naturally due to the fact that after such a long battle, this group of difficult bounty hunters was finally rounded up. As for the ugliness, it was because the losses on their side were too great. Although no specific statistical report had been received, I knew with my own eyes that the cavalry casualties would not be small.
But overall, I'm probably a little more excited. The casualties can be covered up in vague terms, but the achievements are real. After all, this was a successful ambush, and the target was a notorious bounty hunter.
"Mr. Director, the results are out." The cavalry commander rushed over despite the heavy rain.
"Speak." Dempsey's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.
"There are fifteen people in this damn group of bounty hunters, and they have all been wiped out."
"Fifteen people?" Dempsey frowned: "Isn't it seventeen?"
The commander of the cavalry explained: "It seems that there are two more who haven't come over. But it doesn't matter. We just need to go to the tavern later to catch them all."
"Well, we need to hurry up on this matter. Let's do this, you can take people there in person now." Dempsey felt a little relieved, but still gave the order.
"Okay. Well, next are the casualties on our side..."
After waving his hand, Dempsey frowned and said, "We'll talk about this later."
"Uh, okay. Then I'll take people to the tavern first." Although the cavalry chief looked rude, he was also smart in his thinking. After guessing that Dempsey didn't like hearing this, he avoided it in a polite way.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed into the rain as a courtesy. But at this moment, tap, tap, tap... "Mr. Director... Where is Mr. Director?"
The sound of galloping horses' hooves mixed with panicked shouts quickly penetrated the rain curtain and reached here. Somehow, Dempsey's heart suddenly thumped, and he had a vague feeling of badness.
Soon, a cavalryman covered in mud was brought over. He walked forward quickly, not caring about saluting: "Mr. Director, something big has happened..."
"Damn it, tell me the important point!" The cavalry commander got a little angry at the cavalry's yelling and shouted angrily.
"Uh, yes, yes, yes..." The cavalryman was stunned for a moment, and then nodded submissively, "There was chaos in the city square, more than a dozen people died, and hundreds of people were injured..."
"What!" Dempsey and the cavalry commander yelled at the same time, their faces quickly darkening.
The city square is the city's main facade. If there is chaos in this place and people die, it will not be a small matter. Accordingly, the responsibility borne by the National Police Agency is naturally not small.
"And..." The cavalryman paused, swallowing unconsciously as if because he was running in a hurry and was frightened by the cavalry commander.
besides? Dempsey and the commander-in-chief of the cavalry had not yet recovered from the first blow. When they heard that there would be a follow-up, they immediately looked at the cavalry in a daze.
"You damn thing!" The cavalry commander had a bad temper. Looking at the cavalryman, he wanted to strangle him to death.
"Also, ahem..." Although he choked on his saliva, the cavalryman looked at the expressions of the two officers. How could he dare to neglect them? His face turned red and he continued, "Also, most of the West Commercial Street was destroyed, um , ahem..."
"...Damn it!" Snap! The commander-in-chief of the cavalry opened his mouth and hammered his palms hard, his face completely blackened.
Stamping, Dempsey took three steps back before he could stand still. His face was pale, and he stuttered in disbelief and asked: "Are you sure...are you sure... it's the West Commercial Street in the city square, not the commercial street in Xicheng District?" ?”
The two place names don't sound much different, but in fact the difference is very obvious. The commercial streets in Xicheng District are ordinary commercial streets, usually opened by relatively wealthy civilians or small chambers of commerce. The West Commercial Street next to the city square has an excellent location and a large flow of people. It is really a battleground for merchants. Because of this, most of the people who can open shops there are nobles in the city, as well as some wealthy businessmen and celebrities. Therefore, the importance of the two is not the same.
The cavalryman understood what the director meant, but he could only cry and spread his hands to break Dempsey's fantasy: "It's the West Commercial Street near the city square, ahem..."
boom! Dempsey sat back under the eaves, his eyes dull. I imagined that after I returned, the office would be occupied by many nobles, and I would shrink back to meet their anger and saliva, and I felt that my legs felt weak.
The cavalryman finally finished fighting with the saliva, looked at the two petrified officers in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said carefully, "Still, there's more..."
"Anything else?" Dempsey didn't roar this time, he just asked with a dull look on his face, and then looked up.
"kindness."
"Then let's talk..."
"Oh, oh." The cavalryman was stared at by Demps and the cavalry commander. He twisted his body uneasily, gritted his teeth and whispered, "The statue of the goddess of the mountain and mountain stream was... destroyed."
Kick, kick, kick... bang! The majestic body of the cavalry commander took a few big steps back and hit the wall. Immediately, his face turned ashen, and his body first became rickets, then he squatted down with his head in his hands, curling up into a ball.
When a person is hit too hard, he will subconsciously cover his face or head with his hands. This represents an ostrich mentality that is unwilling to accept the facts. This was undoubtedly the case with the Commander-in-Chief of Cavalry.
Dempsey seemed very calm, yes, just calm, he didn't even move his eyebrows.
"Director, director?" The cavalryman hesitated and asked tentatively.
Dempsey's eyelids rolled rapidly, and they were all white, and then he leaned back, bang... "Uh, Director, Director... Someone is here, Mr. Director fainted..."
…………Okay, let’s move the camera away from the tragic Demps for a moment, and then go all the way to the northwest.
Unknown jungle, gray mist. There was dead silence everywhere, and some normal singing of insects and birds seemed to have lost their voices collectively, and it was as if they had never existed, showing an unspeakable strangeness.
Suddenly, boom, boom, boom... waves of huge roars came from the distance, and gradually turned from blurry to clear. There were occasionally a few light scolds and roars of giant beasts, as if there was some battle going on. Move over here.
Finally, bang!
A bush exploded, sending grass and branches flying across the field. Then a figure jumped out from behind, rolled awkwardly on the ground a few times, and quickly stood up. With his hands wide open, the silver light flashed and instantly formed a moon disk shape, blocking it in front of him.
At this moment, a red arrow of light shot out from the direction where the man came from with a whoosh sound, hitting the general on the silver moon disk.
Boom, boom, boom...a shock wave that was almost visible to the naked eye swayed in a circle, and the surrounding land was cut off a few inches in an instant, completing the clearing work. As for the ancient trees that were hit head-on, they simply stood up from the ground and were instantly crushed into slag in the air.
Bang bang bang... The body of the person who rushed out first flew upside down and broke more than a dozen big trees before stopping his retreat. Falling to the ground, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
A head full of silver hair with a few grass stems in the middle. This is a man who looks like a young man. But the fighting spirit that burst out at that moment was really powerful, not even lower than the earth level. This makes people wonder whether this person has good maintenance skills to maintain his youthful state.
Bang... The silver-haired man had just wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth when the previously blown bush was flattened. In a flash of yellow shadow, a giant beast covered in golden fur and looking like a tiger or a lion appeared on the scene. Turning around, he quickly found the silver-haired man.
This frontal view can't help but make people gasp in surprise. Because in the middle of the eyebrows of the tiger-like lion-like beast, there is an inverted golden eye, with red light shrinking intermittently. If you guessed correctly, the red light arrow just came from here.
The man and the beast looked at each other for a moment, and then the silver-haired man suddenly waved his hand, his silver light flashing.
The giant beast immediately leaned over, tightening its claws in a defensive posture.
"Haha..." Unexpectedly, the silver-haired man just waved his hand and didn't launch any attack at all. He raised his head and laughed a few times, then jumped out upside down with a support on the tree trunk.
"Roar!" The giant beast seemed to have some intelligence. It knew that it was being tricked, and its eyes were blood red and it roared with rage. Then it grabbed the ground with both claws, and the yellow shadow flashed, and it quickly chased after it.
For a moment, the previous silence returned here again. However, the original intact jungle has disappeared, replaced by a messy scene...
Suddenly, rustling, there were a few gentle sounds of grass blades moving. Two figures emerged from the waist-high grass one after another.
"Pfft, I said Samp, the leader is crazy, isn't he? The three of us can get it done quickly if we join together. Why do we have to play one-on-one?" The strong man in front spat out the grass from his mouth, bored. asked.
"Oliver, this is training." Bang, the man in the black robe behind him stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the dead leaves and grass on his body fell automatically, "The leader may have glimpsed the empty level threshold. , some external force is needed to stimulate it.”
Thumper, Oliver. Yes, these two people are members of the Dusk Hunters. As for the silver-haired man just now, it was naturally the group leader Ye Mo.
"Tsk, tsk, this is exciting enough." Oliver smacked his lips, shook his head and said, "But it's easy to die."
"Haha, I believe you know better. For a warrior, there is no more effective stimulus than death... huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Samp suddenly turned his head and looked to the southeast.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing... Well, I've been feeling uneasy from just now to now, as if something bad happened..."
Oliver laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Thumper, you are a space magician. When did you learn how to be a star fortune teller... In that direction, could something happen to that wild cat Eunice?"
"Eunice, Eunice..." Thumper suddenly pondered and murmured.
"Don't worry." Oliver patted Samp's shoulder carelessly and said nonchalantly, "She has been blessed by the God of Light not to cause trouble for others. How could anyone mess with her?"
"Well, that's right..."
"Okay, at most, I will go out with you to find her in two days. Anyway, we can't get involved with the leader... He's gone, and the leader has gone away again..."
"Well, that's all we have to do."
