The bullet-like heavy motorcycle drove towards the Shadow City at a constant speed of 300 kilometers per hour. According to this speed, it would take Rein at most an hour to stand in the city surrounded by mountains.
The scorching smoke from the reloaded locomotive has a strong smell of burning gasoline. In fact, in the Dark Council, there is no means of transportation faster than this locomotive. The anti-magnetic levitation car driven by Lan Qi is one of them. This type of locomotive is not only fast, but also quiet and energy-saving. It is definitely a more comfortable means of transportation than a heavy-duty locomotive.
Klein just likes the smell of heavy metal and gasoline, which makes him look different in the dark council that pursues high efficiency. But he doesn't care what others think, it's always been Rein's style to go his own way. Just like this mission, the high-level fighters of the Scarlet Knight were not interested at all, but Rein took it over.
This is an order directly issued by the parliament, but the content of the order is very simple.
No matter how you look at it, killing a fifth-level wilderness mercenary is not a difficult task. After all, the highest-level ability of this mercenary is the fifth-level agility enhancement. In the eyes of high-level blood knights, this ability is useless to escape. And the reason why the council made such a big move against such an inconspicuous little character was that this servant had killed a low-level blood knight.
Rein remembered that the guy who was killed was a member of the Parkland family. Although Parkland could be regarded as a large consortium, strictly speaking, it was only a peripheral member of the Dark Council. If it was only this relationship, the Dark Council would not dispatch high-level blood knights. But the young man named Sauron was a member of the Blood Cavalry, and was killed by a wilderness mercenary who appeared out of nowhere. This incident itself was like a slap in the face of the Dark Council.
Every blood knight will be implanted with a pocket chip when he officially takes office. The chip is connected to the brain terminal of the Dark Council, which can feed back the life wave energy of the implanter, so that it can be easily located and searched for when the blood knight is in trouble. And just a few days ago, the life signal of the blood knight named Sauron suddenly disappeared, which surprised Sauron's boss. Through investigation, the Blood Cavalry headquarters quickly determined that Sauron died in battle while dealing with a family's personal grievances.
After this information was fed back to the upper management according to the usual procedures, the upper management of the council issued an order to send high-level blood knights to kill the mercenary.
If the mercenary is not killed with an absolute advantage, where will the face of the Dark Council be saved in the future. Behind the dispatch of high-level blood knights, there is a deeper meaning, that is, to show unquestionable force, so as to consolidate the position of the Dark Parliament in the coastline area.
Rein knew this very well, and knew that this was just a boring demonstration. But attacking a low-level ability user failed to attract the interest of high-level fighters inside the blood knight. However, Rein, who had just returned to the headquarters after completing the mission, learned of this order, but took it without hesitation and went to the Shadow City immediately.
This made many people disdain and even contempt for what Rein did behind his back. But only a few people know that the reason why Rein is willing to take on such a boring task is purely because he doesn't want to stay in Evernight City.
The Ninth Knight, Rein, has never been a stickler. He would rather go to the front line of the war if he was asked to stay in the city of Eternal Night, where the hierarchy is strict. Therefore, this mission is nothing more than a different kind of vacation for Rein.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you..." Speeding on the broken highway, after the high-speed locomotive knocked away an old living corpse that crawled out of nowhere, Rein showed a row of white teeth: "Like this There are not many opportunities for vacation, if possible, I hope you have left the Shadow City... Zero!"
In this way, my vacation can be extended a little. This is Laing's subtext.
City of shadows.
In the hotel room, Zero rushed out of the bathroom, and he quickly changed into the ragged clothes that looked like a refugee. Even Ling didn't even have time to buy a new tactical uniform. He broke into the room of Moni and the others, and faced Moni and Atesa who were watching the young Girutan frowning and stuffing a piece of black bread into their mouths. The man said, "We must leave immediately!"
Mo Ni was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Zero shook his head and said, "I can't explain why, but I have a very bad feeling!"
Without extra nonsense, Moni pulled Girutan up. She also followed Zero for a long time, knowing that Zero's perception of danger is as keen as a beast. Now that he felt in danger, the hotel must not stay any longer. They didn't have much luggage. Atesa picked up the saw wheel that was resting in the corner, and the group of four rushed down the stairs of the hotel.
When he came to the lobby, Zero gestured. The four stood still, and Ling gently said: "It's not right, why is there no one?"
The three of Mo Ni looked around, and as Ling said, the lobby was too quiet. Even the waiters at the counter were missing, as if all the people in the hotel had mysteriously disappeared. Not only that, but the streets outside the hotel were also deserted. Although it was afternoon, there were relatively few pedestrians on the street, but it was not like there was not even a single person. Zero leaned his body, and came to a window against the corner. The window was closed tightly, and Zero pushed open a gap with his fingers, then raised his head slightly.
A strong needling sensation spread all over his body in an instant, and before he could think about it, he fell to the ground immediately. Almost at the same time, at the position where Zero poked his head just now, the entire window frame was blown open. The metal bracket was twisted and deformed, with a bullet embedded in it, and the sound of sniper equipment came from outside the hotel.
Sniper!
Ling An scolded, needless to say that the hotel has been tightly controlled by a certain force. The enemy snipers attacking themselves must have occupied the commanding heights nearby. Once the personnel on their own side are exposed under the eyes of these killers, they will immediately attract fatal attacks.
But, which faction do these people belong to? Could it be Parkland
This idea quickly flashed through Zero's mind, this is a very normal revenge. Zero killed Sauron in the ruins, but Sauron's soldiers were not all wiped out. They will soon find Sauron's body and pass the news back to Parkland. But when Zero used his rich sniper experience to find out the position of the opponent's sniper, Zero, who zoomed in on the enemy's image with his free vision, saw a soldier in black uniform.
In the middle of the tactical helmet on the soldier's head, a zero-familiar symbol appeared. The pattern of sword and shield, Zero has seen on Sauron's body, it is the coat of arms of the Dark Council. In other words, the people who surrounded the hotel now turned out to be people from the Dark Council. And judging from the fact that they were able to make such a deployment immediately on the day Zero arrived in the Shadow City, the Dark Parliament obviously invested a certain amount of troops in the Shadow City.
Zero regretted it very much. If he had known in advance that there were troops from the Dark Council stationed in the City of Shadows, no matter what he said, he would not have entered this city rashly. Zero knew very well that killing a blood knight was enough reason for the Dark Parliament to take revenge on him. It's just that he didn't expect the other party's revenge to come so quickly.
