Warlord 3 Page 2

  What he did not know was that at the same time, there was another person who wished to use the windmill town as the final resting place for the two.

  Lan Qi carried his vulture on his back and stood upright on the road. Behind him was the outline of the windmill town. Ahead was an endless wilderness.

  Since the Great Rift Sniper, Lange had moved several hundred kilometers west along the crevice before finding a narrower section. Lan Qi used the tall fir trees to build a simple bridge and successfully left the Death Ridge. Because of this, he came to windmill town half a day earlier than zero.

  However, he didn't choose to enter the small town and instead roamed around in the wilderness. Although Lan Qi had personally witnessed Zero falling into the rift, he had a feeling that Zero wouldn't die so easily for some reason. The facts proved that his guess was right. Not long ago, Lan Qi had seen zero entering the windmill town.

  When Lan Qi discovered zero, he had the urge to snipe him. But in the end, he still restrained his urge. He knew that Zero would die in the windmill town because Soren was already on his way here.

  Soren brought his private troops here. Although there were only a hundred of them, but against a person whose power was only at the fifth step, and that fifth step wasn't even a main combat ability user, Soren had the strength to kill him.

  In fact, if it was during the first time Soren encountered this battle that he was not overly arrogant, and instead followed the usual tactics and arrangements, Zero would have no chance of surviving at all.

  But this time, Lan Qi believed that he would not make the same mistake again, which was why the black man was so certain that he would not be able to leave the windmill town.

  But even so, Lan Qi still wanted to make a request of Soren.

  Duel!

  In any case, Lan Qi wanted to personally kill Zero!

  Chapter 158 - Broken Ambition

  A pale yellow light flowed over a pair of goblets, and the remaining red wine in his arms began to froth before suddenly bursting and disappearing.

  The light from the goblet fell on the waxed floor, where a pair of long black leather trousers hung. The light looked forward shyly, and behind the leather leggings were all kinds of clothes. And the closer they got to the bed, the more clothes they had. From the very beginning of the outer garments, to the small but ambiguous undergarments on the bed, everything was there.

  On the bed, a head of long, wine-colored hair was swaying along with the shaking of his body, like a mass of burning flames.

  Pera was sitting on the waist of Theon, the two making the most intimate contact. The beautiful female snake used her waist that was full of elasticity to do all sorts of movements, undulating back and forth, constantly rubbing against Theon's body, causing waves of joyous sound to be transmitted to his pituitary gland.

  Theon watched the girl who had contributed her youth and passion to him with satisfaction. Every time the two of them were celebrating, Pera would use all of his strength to give her wave after wave of happiness, with the determination of a life and death battle.

  Looking at the pair of peaks that jumped up and down due to Pera's hard work, Theon felt that his life was filled with hope.

  In the instant he climbed to the peak, Theon clearly felt Pera's body contract strangely, and then, instantly, the electric current he released caused him to involuntarily close his eyes. Following which, Pera's entire body fell onto his body. The fullness of her chest pressed against Theon's body, making him very satisfied.

  The night was long, but he could continue to be happy.

  But just as Theon was preparing to attack, the communication device on Pera's body rang.

  "Leave it, boss." Pera glanced at him flirtatiously, and took the initiative to tease Theon with his tongue.

  "I know you haven't had enough, and neither have I. But now it's different. We still have big things to do. Let's go and hear what it is. "

  Only then did Pera lazily climb up from Theon's body. She jumped under the bed, used his long and slender fingers to pick up the small and exquisite communication device, and then pressed the 'receiver' button.

  "What is it?"

  As long as he was facing people and things that had nothing to do with Theon, Pera would immediately recover his coldness. But in Theon's bed, her passion was enough to burn any man's soul. It was this completely different temperament, which combined both coldness and passion, that caused Theon to not have touched a second woman after he had Pera.

  Xi Si also got down from the bed. He poured himself a cup of red wine and walked over to the window, looking at Remot who had already fallen asleep. Late at night in the city, a portion of the citizens went to the houses they rented outside the base to reminisce about the old era. However, most of them stayed in the underground base. After 10 pm, the public lighting would stop, and only the faint red light on the outside layer of the buildings would shine.

  When he finished drinking the red wine, Pera actually did not finish listening to the report. Theon frowned, the late night's message was too long.

  He turned around, just in case that Pera had put down his communication device.

  "What happened?" Theon frowned and asked.

  Pera wanted to say something but hesitated.

  "Say it, there's nothing to surprise me now." Theon picked up the wine bottle, preparing to pour himself another cup.

  "Our informants in the Phoenix City have just sent a message. A team of adventurer entered the Death Ridge three days ago, but returned back to the Phoenix City not long ago. According to their description, the Lorraine Bridge, which was used to pass through the Great Rift, was destroyed. The bridge is broken from the middle and the rope is almost completely broken. It is currently impassable. " After Pera finished speaking, he looked at Theon without moving.

  Theon's heart surged, after a moment, he ruthlessly threw the cup to the ground, and immediately shattered the cup into pieces.

  "In other words, we can only move the troops to the other side of Death Ridge after the restoration of the Loulan Bridge?" In order to secretly support the operation, Theon had been using his accumulated wealth, with Pera's Cobra Army as the base, to continuously increase in size and purchase weapons and equipment. By now, the Cobra army had grown from less than fifty to two hundred.

  Among them, other than Pera, there were three other aides who were around the fifth step of cultivation. The team didn't have any powerful Adepts, but they were well-equipped and could easily meet the demands of a small war. It was Theon's secret weapon, and would be able to help Zero to rip all the obstacles in the northern lands.

  Once he received news that Zero had left the Death Ridge, Theon planned to join the army.

  But now, the two main roads that connected the two sides of the big crevices were destroyed, which meant that Theon was unable to send troops to the Northern Lands. If they did not go through the Rolan Bridge, then they would have to go around Phoenix City and the other Death Ridge, passing through the undeveloped lands of the West. However, after making such a huge detour, to reach the windmill town outside the Death Ridge, he would need at least another month's time compared to his predetermined time.

  After more than a month, the grudge between Su Yun and Parkland's valve had long been settled. How could Theon still interfere?

  "If we send out all our engineers and labourers, when will we be able to repair the bridge?" Theon gasped for breath and asked.

  After a simple calculation, Pera replied, "From the recruitment of personnel, the materials and equipment, plus the distance and construction time. The fastest would still be around 20 days. "

  "20 days?" Theon looked like he had aged ten years, and immediately lost all his energy.

  Twenty days was not much faster than traveling through the western regions. Unless there was an aircraft, it was too late for Theon to do anything.

  Even if it was the Dark Council s, they were still unable to develop a transport plane that could transport arou
nd two hundred people, let alone the Remot whose technology was far behind.

  Theon clenched his fists, there was no hope more depressing than seeing his hope rise up from the ashes after making all sorts of preparations.

  "Pera, go to bed." Theon seemed to have clenched his teeth as he said these words.

  Pera silently walked back to the bed, turned his body, leaned his upper body against the big bed's screen, and opened his legs.

  A few seconds later, Theon ruthlessly crashed into her body. Pera bit his lips in pain, but he did not make a sound, she only silently endured Theon's violent attacks, as the man crazily rushed forward, Pera seemed to hear Theon's indignant roar.

  The big bed shook intensely, only Theon's loud breathing could be heard. The night in the Remot was still quiet, but no one knew that this city that had hope for its rise had been destroyed just because of the collapse of a large bridge.

  This was an accident, and in an era of turmoil, there was never a lack of accidents!

  Chapter 159 - Duel

  Under the dark night, there were an old looking car and truck, as well as two armoured chariots on the road towards the windmill town.

  In the black car, Soren crossed his hands between his legs and rested with his eyes closed.

  Ever since he had accepted the mission of killing zero, Soren had gone through an entire day of reorganization of the army, then brought this private army of his and set off for Death Ridge. There was a battle message between the White-headed Eagle and the zeros. After the two entered the Death Ridge, there was no message at all. However, from the observations of the Parkland family's intelligence agents, the unprovoked explosion of the Death Ridge's flames and the destruction of the Loulan Bridge not long ago, it was evident that the battle between the two of them was still ongoing.

  This came as a huge surprise to Soren.

  White-headed Eagle was not only a Sniper Specialist, but also an expert in jungle warfare. Under his pursuit, it seemed that Zero wasn't dead yet. This made Soren not understand if Zero's luck was too good, or if Lan Qi's killing techniques were already not as good as before.

  But it didn't matter, because he was here. Having mastered Fire Element Su to Stage Four, the gene sequence in Soren's body had made room for an advanced ability. This meant that Soren's strength had increased by a lot. Furthermore, after analyzing the data from his last defeat in the battle, Soren clearly knew how he would fight in this battle.

  He would no longer take the risk of playing the game of guerrilla warfare with. As long as he followed the normal strategy of arranging the troops, Soren's absolute advantage in terms of military strength would steadily increase to zero. So much so that if he was willing to sacrifice the windmill town, Soren could easily destroy this little town along with Zero with the intense artillery barrage.

  Naturally, Soren was unwilling to do so unless it was absolutely necessary. This would cause quite a bit of negative public opinion in the family, and would even cause a few hostile companies to cause trouble. Soren was not stupid to the point of dragging his own family down.

  When the windmill town was in sight, Lan Qi appeared in the light of the strong light on the armoured chariot that was driving to protect the ship.

  The caravan came to a halt.

  "Sir Soren, Lan Qi is here."

  After the police officer in the car received the notification from the armoured car in front, he passed the news to Soren who was sitting in the back seat.

  Soren also did not open his eyes, and only said indifferently: "Have him come over."

  A moment later, Lan Qi entered Soren's carriage.

  Soren opened his eyes and a bizarre wheel of fire appeared in his pupils. It was the phenomenon of having the power of the dimensional realm reaching the fourth level.

  "Mr. Lange, I hear your operation is not going so well." Soren took out two cigars from the secret compartment in his seat, lit one for himself and threw the other one to Lan Qi.

  Lan Qi took the cigarette and lit it. After a puff, he said, "There was an accident, but everything is still under control."

  Soren remained silent for a moment before saying, "Outside of Phoenix City, that was an accident. You have fought with him quite a few times within the Death Ridge, right? However, the latest news that I have obtained is that not a single component has been missing from the windmill town. "If these are all accidents, Mr. Lan Qi, then isn't it a bit too much?"

  Lan Qi did not refute, and only said solemnly: "Sir Soren, please believe that there won't be a next time!"

  "You want to have another go?" Soren shook his head and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Lange. I will take over the task of killing Zero. As for your actions, from now on, regardless of whether you are willing or not, you must terminate them. You may not know this, but your countless accidents have caused our family to lose face. Right now, the entire coastline is saying, look, that big guy, Parkland, is still unable to deal with a sniper from the wilderness! "

  The African man lowered his head in shame and said, "This is indeed my fault, but …"

  The White-headed Eagle raised its head and said determinedly: "I still hope that Sir Soren can give me another chance. No matter what, I hope that you can give me a chance to live. After all, Kabu is my son! "

  "What do you mean?" Soren squinted his eyes.

  "Duel!" Lan Qi said in a heavy voice, "It is within the windmill town. Sir Soren can help us delimit an area for the duel to take place. As long as you guard the town with heavy soldiers, it will be hard to escape. Then, even if I fail, Master Soren can easily kill zero! "

  Soren silently smoked his cigarette. The flame on the cigar flickered, then extinguished, causing Soren's face to become unsettled.

  Lan Qi waited. He believed that Soren would agree to it, because it would not harm Parkland family at all. It was best if Lan Qi could kill Ling Yun, and even if he couldn't, for Ling Yun who had expended a large amount of his physical and mental energy, he would definitely be unable to escape Soren's grasp. As long as Soren was not as careless as last time, he could definitely use his superiority in strength to kill Zero.

  Before the Adepts reached the Eighth Order, any Adept below the Seventh Order could use a sea of men to fight. What's more, Zero was only a Fifth Order Adept, and that wasn't an offensive skill.

  "Fine." After a short but very long period of thought, Soren opened his mouth and said: "I accept your request. But Mr. Lange, in order to ensure that I will die in windmill town, I must make some small arrangements in your duel. I hope that you won't object. "

  "Naturally." Lan Qi lowered his head and said respectfully, but in his heart he was thinking about what kind of arrangement Soren wanted to make.

  windmill town, at the hotel on the road of no return.

  Zero suddenly woke up from his slumber and opened his eyes. When his consciousness took over the body, two M500 revolver appeared in his hands, ready to shoot from any direction.

  However, he was the only person in the room. Outside the window, dark red light from the radiation cloud poured into the hotel room, immersing the room in a faint red glow.

  Zero felt the danger.

  Just now in his dreams, the danger signal had pierced him like a sharp needle, waking him up in the blink of an eye.

  Countless data swept through his mind like flowing water. Zero knew that the source of the danger must be from the Parkland. However, the hitman who was lingering around seemed to not have reached the windmill town yet. With this, it was impossible to determine when or how the danger would come.

  Unless the perceptual domain reached the first Thirteenth step, known as the Divine Realm, which gave rise to the ability to predict the future, no one would be able to achieve omniscience. Zero was just a beast's intuition of danger. He was not a prophet.

  Therefore, all he could do was silently prepare for danger.

  The light tooth was taken out from the Light Dagger on the Six Winged Ship. The crystal at the end of the handle of the li
ght tooth was flowing with a brilliant light, which signified that the energy stored in it had reached a standard. The unknown civilization had reached a level where the current civilization would look up to them in terms of light energy. After taking out this energy weapon from the spaceship, Zero discovered that the crystals embedded in it began to absorb, convert, and store all kinds of light energy from the external world.

  This was currently Zero's strongest weapon. The sharpness of the light tooth could even easily break through elemental field. To be able to block the slicing process of the light tooth, one would need at least a particle shield at the eighth level of the domain of YuanSu, or some other special defensive material. Furthermore, the killers were not in the eighth stage of the Su Domain, nor did they have the advanced defensive materials.

  The only weakness of the light tooth was that the energy blades were too short. As for close combat, other than some special situations, it meant that no one was at a disadvantage.

  If it wasn't necessary, Zero didn't want to do that.

  To kill a person, Zero would still use the Colt or the M500 to give them a fatal bullet hole!

  Chapter 160 - Conditions

  At dawn, the sound of the caravan's advance broke the silence of the morning. Two armored chariots, one in front and one behind, guarded an old black sedan, followed by a large truck carrying soldiers. When the enchantment formation appeared at the windmill town's entrance, the Magistrate, who had initially heard the commotion, decided to hide back in his bed.

  There were less than 100 people in the windmill town's security teams, and each of the 5 Magistrate's led a team of about 20 people. The security forces were armed with the conventional rifles of the old era, and they couldn't even use microphones. The crude firearms here were enough to maintain a small town of nearly a thousand people, but they were absolutely incomparable to the soldiers carrying anti-aircraft guns outside or the truck full of regular soldiers who were brimming with killing intent.
