Chapter 250: The Pavilion of Treasures Gave Up Resistance
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The whole world fell silent once again.
The people in line swallowed their saliva.
Many of them subconsciously touched their throats.
A few of them left the team secretly, but Bill’s people didn’t care.
On the tower of the Pavilion of Treasures, Lucas had confirmed that the purpose of the Emergency Response Team was Pavilion of Treasures.
However, they were completely clueless.
Even their external communications had been cut off.
Even if they wanted to solve it, there was nothing they could do.
A Star Glory-tier Beast Master suggested, “Boss, why don’t we charge out?”
“Charge out?” Lucas laughed in extreme anger. “How? Are you dreaming? You didn’t see Barnard there? Even I didn’t dare to charge out. Do you have more guts than me?”
Lucas said in a low voice, “Besides, we can’t escape. If we escape, we’ll be completely finished. Not only will the Pavilion of Treasures in the Southwest be implicated, even you guys might be wanted. Are you sure you want to do that?”
No one wanted the Pavilion of Treasures to be implicated.
If such a serious consequence was really caused, the Pavilion of Treasures Headquarters would definitely make their lives a living h.e.l.l.
In addition to the federation’s wanted posters, they didn’t want to do that unless they were cornered.
“I ask myself, I didn’t make any decision to harm the Southwest Military,” Lucas said slowly. “It’s very likely that there’s some misunderstanding. We can’t act rashly and can’t resist. Wait until I see the people from the military.”
“We understand.”
Seeing how calm Lucas was, the higher-ups of Skylight City’s Pavilion of Treasures also slowly calmed down.
They understood that they could only trust the store manager now.
The people who were not from the Pavilion of Treasures quickly evacuated.
At this time, Bania came to the blockade area. Hearing Barnard’s report, he nodded, indicating that he understood.
Bania glanced at the energy cannon that was set up by the side, then glanced at the luxurious building of the Pavilion of Treasures. He said to his adjutant, “Let that kid, Lugh, come over.”
“Yes!”
Bania came to the side of the energy cannon, and the three gunners immediately saluted him.
Bania simply saluted back and asked, “How’s your aim? If you aim at that building, will it miss?”
The gunner smiled and said, “Colonel, that target is too big, it’s impossible to miss.”
“Then you guys aim at it first!”
“We have already aimed. We can fire at any time.”
“That’s right. The City Protection Army is pretty strong.”
The three cannoneers were all embarra.s.sed by Bania’s praise.
Soon, Lugh was brought over by the adjutant.
Lugh was a little confused. He did not know why the Captain was looking for him.
“Lugh, do you see this energy cannon?”
“Yes!”
The energy cannon was installed on a heavy armored vehicle. With such a large cannon barrel, it was hard not to notice it.
Bania pointed at the Pavilion of Treasures building and said, “Do you want to fire a few shots?”
“This…”
“Fire three shots at random and let them guide you!” Bania pointed at the three gunners. “Let me see the Pavilion of Treasures’ att.i.tude of admitting their mistakes.”
“Okay!”
Bania spoke to Lugh in a commanding tone. It was not easy to disobey.
Besides, he was also unhappy with the Pavilion of Treasures.
He had seen the energy cannon on the battlefield last time, and he wanted to try the taste of firing it.
“Major, I’ve already aimed. You just need to press this firing b.u.t.ton.”
The gunner pointed at a red b.u.t.ton and said to Lugh.
Actually, this gunner also wanted to bombard the Pavilion of Treasures.
He was already tired of bombarding Fierce Beasts. Bombarding the Pavilion of Treasures was a once in a hundred years opportunity.
Lugh’s hand gently placed on the red b.u.t.ton.
It was his first time firing, so he was a little nervous.
The gunner looked at Lugh’s expression and said in a low voice, “Relax. Don’t think about anything. Just press the b.u.t.ton.”
At the same time, Lucas and the other experts in the Pavilion of Treasures building also saw a soldier placing his hand on the red b.u.t.ton to fire the energy cannon.
Bania’s choice was very interesting.
He chose an energy cannon that Lucas and the others could see.
“Manager, they are about to fire.”
Lucas glanced at the other energy cannons. None of them had the intention to fire.
He glanced at Bania. Bania was looking at him with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lucas took a deep breath and said, “Don’t defend. Protect yourself.”
“But!”
Lucas said angrily, “Listen to my orders.”
At this moment, Lugh pressed a red b.u.t.ton.
A white light flashed and a “Boom!” was heard.
On the third and fourth floors of the west side of the Pavilion of Treasures, an explosion occurred. Flames burned fiercely and thick smoke rose into the air.
The unlucky members of the Pavilion of Treasures died without a complete corpse.
Lugh could hear someone screaming inside. There was also a person whose entire body was burning. The damaged building fell to the ground.
He could not bear it.
Bania said meaningfully, “Don’t be too kind. People will bully you if you slap them. Think about it. If you were targeted by the Pavilion of Treasures and it was the other members of the Emergency Response Team, would they have survived?”
“The Head Captain is right!”
Lugh put out the pity in his heart.
“The building of the Pavilion of Treasures is quite solid. Find an opportunity to find out which construction team it is from to repair it. You continue.”
The three gunners quickly helped Lugh to load a Platinum-level beast’s crystal core. They also helped Lugh adjust the direction of the aim, waiting for him to press the b.u.t.ton.
Another shot.
The luxurious building of the Pavilion of Treasures exploded again.
This time, the explosion was very close to Lucas and the other higher-ups. The aftershock of the explosion directly tore a two-meter-long crack in the floor under their feet.
The other higher-ups of Pavilion of Treasures were so angry that they jumped up and down.
A steel bar was aimed at Lucas’ head. Lucas raised his hand and held the steel bar. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger.
“Extinguish the fire!”
In the emergency team, Bill looked at the red b.u.t.ton in Lugh’s hand with envy.
He wanted to try it too.
But after seeing Bania next to Lugh, he didn’t have any thoughts.
Many residents of Skylight City rushed over.
They had all heard that the military was sh.e.l.ling the Pavilion of Treasures.
How could they not take a look at such a rare thing?
They had to take a look even at the risk of their lives.
After the ammunition was reloaded, Lugh pressed the red b.u.t.ton.
This time, it was right in the center. After the explosion, the huge signboard of the Pavilion of Treasures fell to the ground.
Lucas’ facial muscles twitched.
It was quiet inside the Pavilion of Treasures. Only the screams outside could be heard. Some people were busy putting out the fire.
The Pavilion of Treasures building had not collapsed yet.
A few more shots should be enough to completely collapse it.
Many residents who were besieging the tall buildings in the distance had seen through it.
Faced with the bombardment, none of the experts from the Pavilion of Treasures came out to fight to the death.
“The Pavilion of Treasures is really cowardly. They’ve already fired three rounds, yet they don’t even dare to block a single sh.e.l.l. Don’t they still have Star Glory level experts?”
“You’re not cowardly. You’re going in. Let’s see if you dare to resist.”
“That’s the Emergency Response Team. In the entire Southwest, who dares to resist? Are they complaining that death isn’t fast enough?”
“Actually, I really want to see them fight. The Pavilion of Treasures will definitely all die.”
“I want to see them fight too.”
“It’s quite interesting to flatten the Pavilion of Treasures.”
…
After the three cannon shots ended, Lugh was still somewhat unsatisfied.
The energy cannon was extremely powerful!
It was easy and relaxed, blasting a large area.
However, from the way he looked at the Head Captain, it seemed that he did not intend to let him continue.
“Their att.i.tude is very upright,” Bania commented casually.
He laughed and shouted, “Lucas, bring your men and come out.”
Lucas stood beside a broken wall and asked, “May I ask why?”
Bania waved at him. “In the prison, let’s talk slowly!”
Three minutes later, Lucas brought a group of high-ranking officials from the Pavilion of Treasures out from the main entrance.
Strictly speaking, the Pavilion of Treasures no longer had a main entrance.
It could be used as a main entrance everywhere.
Behind them were the Beast Masters who had survived in the Pavilion of Treasures, as well as over a hundred ordinary staff members.
“Hands!”
Bill waved the shackles in his hands, and they jingled.
“There’s no need for that, right?” Lucas said through gritted teeth.
After all, he was a King-tier Beast Master, and his status was n.o.ble.
“It’s just a formality,” Barnard said as he walked out. “Of course, you can still make it if you run now.”
