Chapter 407 I Was Here to Kill You
In a capitalist country, power could block many things, but it could not block the media.
In Europe, not all media companies had the status of a giant. But any superpower would certainly have extraordinary power in the field of media.
Therefore, when a group of middle and high-ranking officers of Snowdance Corps stepped out of Eyme Airport, the cameras of countless media were flashing. The dark green military uniform that appeared in Eyme seemed to become a powerful picture. It quickly pa.s.sed to all corners of Eastern Europe.
Li Tianlan.
This name, which had just appeared on the Dark World stage, was still strange to most people.
Dark World was most impressed by his determination that he had rushed into the Invincible Realm three days ago during the decisive battle with Heaven Capital, and the stunning sword in the maneuver of the two Academies in Zhongzhou State not long ago.
Most people might not know what the young Marshal of Zhongzhou State meant.
But the lack of accurate recognition did not mean that he would be ignored.
A young marshal with young spirits and edginess and Special Warfare Battalion with a luxurious lineup were a force not weaker than anyone in Eastern Europe.
No one ignored them, and no one dared to ignore them.
The northernmost end of Snow Country had ushered in a polar night.
The deep ink-like darkness shrouded Vasily’s Cathedral. The lights in the church were almost dazzling, and looked particularly brilliant at night.
The polar day and the polar night alternated.
Daylight disappeared late at night.
Darkness enveloped the morning.
When the gorgeous aurora on the sky slowly dissipated, the whole world seemed to be dead silent.
Angel, Holy Virgin of the Vatican, stood on the church’s bell tower and watched the night lights gradually disappear. She slowly turned around and looked at the TV screen on the interior wall.
Eastern European news was being broadcasted on the screen.
For Eastern Europe as a whole, this was a new TV channel, a new news channel set up by Eastern Europe’s Daqin International Media about a month ago.
Daqin International was in Baiyu State.
But the Eastern European News Channel captured the events of all the countries in Eastern Europe and broadcasted them in the news.
In a chaotic place full of interests, blood, power, and belief, the Eastern European News Channel had undoubtedly become a sharp sword in the hands of the Qin family of Baiyu State.
In the TV picture, the dignified and elegant host was telling about a mysterious attack that took place an hour ago in the city of Recchi City, the capital of Wulan State. The fire in the live broadcast had not been put out. During the chaos, messy lights and people were moving while the camera kept shaking. The doctors and nurses in Recchi City continued to lift the corpses onto the stretchers. The exquisite manor had been turned into ruins. The camera was constantly shaking. Intentionally or not, Jiang Qiannian’s dull face and Rekvia’s face showed up in the camera for a short moment.
Angel looked silently.
The moderator’s voice in the news was soft and low, with a little sobriety and compa.s.sion. It sounded rich and emotional, but always had a taste of routine after being heard a lot.
In the news, the screen turned around, and the sky of the capital of Eyme appeared.
Compared with the solemnity of Wulan State, Eyme in the picture was only majestic. The dark green military uniforms and badges of Zhongzhou State appeared on the TV screen. But all of them were standing with their backs facing the camera, silent, fort.i.tude, and with a sense of restraint power.
There was already a long row of black cars in front of the airport.
Countless Zhongzhou State soldiers got into the cars.
Vehicles of a long row like a dragon started slowly.
Throughout the picture, the faces of these soldiers had never been filmed.
Angel was not sure what this meant.
Compared with the occasional appearance of Jiang Qiannian in the lens of Wulan State, the back view of Zhongzhou State people was somewhat meaningful.
Was this a position and att.i.tude that Eastern European News had not clearly expressed?
Behind the Eastern European news was the Qin family of Baiyu State.
The Qin family near the Qin tribe.
In the chaos in Eastern Europe, the Qin family’s position was definitely one of the most concerned things.
Angel was not sure if the news showed anything.
“The Jiang family of South America of Wulan State was attacked.”
Angel looked at the end of the news and thought about it before speaking slowly.
“Obviously.”
A soft but somewhat vicious voice sounded. “I talked to Jiang Qiannian on the phone. The two kings of Sigh City in Zhongzhou State made the attack. Not just the manor on TV, another club where Recchi City housed the elites of the Jiang family of South America also suffered a major loss. They are the revenge from Zhongzhou State.”
There was a quiet man sitting not far from Angel.
A man with a unique temperament.
His appearance was between young and middle-aged, and his body was slightly thin. He seemed handsome, but looked very ordinary. The light shone on him. His smile was quiet and calm, but his face was a bit fuzzy.
The chief knight of Knights Templars.
In the Dark World, his ident.i.ty was the master of Knights Templars, the master of the Invincible Realm, Chaos.
Angel glanced at him.
Her eyes were a little complicated when she heard the two kings of Sigh City. But when she saw Chaos, her eyes became calm.
“You don’t seem to be worried?” Angel asked.
…
Chaos looked at the face behind him that looked even blurrier than his.
His eyes were soft and humble. But behind this appearance, there was enough heat to burn everything.
Chaos watched for a long time.
He leaned slightly and said calmly, “I don’t know what Your Highness meant.”
The chief knight of Knights Templars was a high status in the Dark World.
However, the entire Knights Templar was a va.s.sal inst.i.tution of the Vatican, and its position within the Vatican was also under the Episcopal, the Sanctuary of Samurai, and the Holy Punishment Priest.
Strictly speaking, this was not an inst.i.tution that could sit down in front of the Holy Virgin.
He could sit calmly in front of Angel, because he was a master of the Invincible Realm and nothing more.
“You are clear.”
Angel looked into Chaos’ eyes. “You know this is a revenge of Zhongzhou State. The chief knight, do you have any reason to think that Zhongzhou State will only retaliate against the Jiang family of South America and let Knights Templars go? You and the Jiang family of South America killed more than just the elites of Samsara Palace. You two even attacked the garrison in Zhongzhou State. This is a foolish matter. Should I congratulate you for attracting the attention of Zhongzhou State?”
Chaos was silent for a while.
It was a long time before he slowly said, “I did not kill the garrison in Zhongzhou State.”
“Oh.”
Angel nodded. “It sounds real. But does anyone believe it?”
She looked at Chaos coldly. “I don’t believe it.”
“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.”
Chaos shook his head. “No is no. I will explain to Zhongzhou State. If they believe me, then the next two are irrelevant. If they do not believe, since the establishment of Knights Templars, we have never feared war. I will also bear the responsibility I should bear. Your Highness, you can rest a.s.sured that the Vatican and Knights Templars will win in the chaotic situation in Eastern Europe.”
“I appreciate a lot of qualities.”
Angel’s tone was cold. “But I don’t appreciate arrogance. The chief knight, your courage is worthy of recognition, but your stupidity is equally astonishing. You are not afraid of war. But on the position of the Vatican, at this stage, whether it is the Vatican or Knights Templars, they should not attract the attention of Zhongzhou State. In the chaos in Eastern Europe, Zhongzhou State has not only His Highnesses of Sigh City, but also a more terrifying His Highness as well as Special Warfare Battalion. In the face of such power, what’s the use for Knights Templars?”
Chaos narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and remained silent.
“You said you never slaughtered the Zhongzhou State Garrison.”
Angel took a deep breath, stood up, and slowly said, “I don’t believe it. No one believes it. But I can give you three days, and within three days, come up with a reason everyone believes. The chief Knight, I’ll wait for your message.”
In a very long time.
In the repressed silence, Chaos also stood up.
“You don’t want to mess with Zhongzhou State.”
He looked at Angel. “Is it because of fear?”
Angel pointed blankly at the door and said lightly, “No matter what it is, this is my order.”
Chaos twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded. “I will do my best.”
He turned and strode out of the bell tower.
Angel looked at his back.
His back was very upright and fearless.
Fearlessness was precious, but sometimes it seemed extremely arrogant.
Angel turned and looked out the window.
The eternal night outside the window became deeper and deeper.
The sun had fallen and would not rise for a long time.
Angel looked at it quietly and muttered to herself. “The arrogant will pay the price.”
Outside the bell tower, Chaos that came out of the bell tower was also watching the light inside the bell tower, and said softly, “The coward will lose everything.”
…
Eyme was a small country.
The area of more than 20,000 square kilometers was not even as large as the smallest province in Zhongzhou State. Not to mention the world, even if it was located in Europe, or only limited to Eastern Europe, Eyme was not eye-catching.
For nearly a century, this was a country that had always been in ups and downs. It was also one of the small countries with the most frequent civil strife in Eastern Europe. At the time of the most chaos, Eyme had had twelve governments in ten years. It was just dazzling and overwhelmed. This situation continued until Zhongzhou State offered its a.s.sistance.
The chaos slowly eased after Zhongzhou State aided Eyme.
At that time, in the delicate moment when the major forces in Eastern Europe wanted to balance each other and not to easily intervene in the mess in Eyme, Zhongzhou State’s a.s.sistance was extremely timely. The first batch of troops that had appeared in Eyme at that time was only about 8,000 people, not many but well-known. After the troop with the code name Border retreated to Zhongzhou State, they really went to the border, which was the predecessor of Border Control Corps today.
In the beginning, the army supporting Eyme was led by two kings, Li Honghe the patriarchal G.o.d of War of Zhongzhou State and Li Kuangtu.
The father and son stood in Eyme. Faced with various means of shame and anger in Eastern Europe, they finally nailed the garrison near the capital of Eyme.
In that year, this was the first garrison stationed by Zhongzhou State in Eastern Europe. Later, Zhongzhou State began with Eyme garrison, and spent several years slowly building Arctic Ocean Command that deterred Eastern Europe.
…
So when talking about Eyme, the Li family, Zhongzhou State, one would found there to be too many thrilling, irritating, or heart-warming stories.
Li Tianlan now led Snowdance Corps to show up in Eyme. When one thought about it, it seemed that it was really a destiny circle.
Perhaps because he knew all the stories of that year, Li Tianlan seemed silent after leaving the airport.
The car team entered the capital silently from the airport and then entered the garrison campsite in Zhongzhou State.
Eyme’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tres, determined the itinerary of the President and his Prime Minister, and left after booking a welcome dinner tomorrow night.
Lieutenant General of Arctic Ocean Command Cheng Huining, the former commander of the Black Dragon Army of Border Control Corps invited Li Tianlan to his study and showed that he would report.
The head of logistics at Arctic Ocean Command began to arrange accommodation for the officers of Snowdance Corps.
After the attack, Zhongzhou State was furious, and the number of troops stationed in Eyme continued to increase. Today, the number of Zhongzhou State troops stationed in Eyme was close to 20,000.
The exact number was 19,832.
In a nearly 20,000-person garrison campsite, none in the camp belonged to the garrison of Arctic Ocean Command.
At this time, it was the entire Snowdance Corps that was stationed in Eyme.
The ordinary soldiers of Snowdance Corps had already entered Eastern Europe in batches before the high-level list was confirmed. As soon as today’s officers were in place, the entire Snowdance Corps began to operate.
Li Tianlan did not care about those nine officers.
The integration of officers and the army into each other, even if all of them were elites, all needed a process.
He followed Cheng Huining to the study in silence.
They sat in silence.
Cheng Huining turned on the television without a word and watched the hot Eastern European news channel recently.
The two sat on the sofa without a word of each other, not even a cup of tea.
Cheng Huining took out a cigarette and lit it without giving one to Li Tianlan. He crossed his legs and watched TV with great interest.
Li Tianlan sat there silently, motionlessly and silently.
Less than five minutes had pa.s.sed by.
The knocking sounded slowly, not in a hurry.
Cheng Huining frowned, and raised his voice to reply. “Come in.”
The door was pushed open.
A slender and somewhat feminine man walked in slowly and smiled peacefully.
“Vice Marshal Chen?”
Cheng Huining stood up with a smile and shook hands with the feminine man.
Li Tianlan still did not move.
Chen Qingluan, the vice marshal of Snowdance Corps, walked into the study; a little discomfort flashed in his heart but he remained calm.
He also knew that he came here a bit abruptly, and his eating look was a bit ugly.
But he was the vice marshal of Snowdance Corps. In addition to the responsibilities given to him by Zhongzhou State, he also carried other tasks.
Cheng Huining, Li Tianlan.
Both of them had sensitive duties. He must know what they had talked about and what arrangements they could make in order to play his role in the next action.
Li Tianlan ignored him, and he could only endure it.
“Your Highness, General Cheng, what are you talking about?” Chen Qingluan asked with a smile.
…
“We watch TV casually and talk about nothing.”
Cheng Huining smiled and asked Chen Qingluan to sit down.
Chen Qingluan rolled his eyes around. He glanced at Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan still sat in that position.
In dizziness, his figure seemed to shake slightly, becoming more illusory.
Chen Qingluan suddenly felt something wrong. He frowned and tentatively called. “Your Highness?”
Cheng Huining laughed silently, looked at Chen Qingluan, and hid the mockery well in his eyes.
Chen Qingluan’s expression changed. He suddenly walked over and stretched out his hands, seeming to warmly put it on Li Tianlan’s shoulder.
His palm fell, but did not touch anything.
His palm pa.s.sed through Li Tianlan’s body.
Li Tianlan’s figure shook in the study, and then completely disappeared.
Chen Qingluan froze and turned to look at Cheng Huining.
At this moment, vaguely, he seemed to understand why he had never seen the legendary soldier beside Li Tianlan since he got off the plane, nor did he see the two deputy commanders of Snowdance Corps, or the two sword masters of Mount Shu.
“What is Vice Marshal Cheng thinking?”
Cheng Huining asked with a smile, pointing to the TV. “Let’s watch the news.”
In the news, the dignified host was telling about a mysterious attack in Recchi City, the capital of Wulan State.
…
Cheng Huining was watching the news.
Jiang Qiannian was also watching the news.
The Eastern European News Channel was really popular.
At least the major superpowers in Eastern Europe were watching this channel closely every day.
The damage since the attack tonight had been sorted out as quickly as possible.
Manor and club.
Situ Cangyue and Tribulation separately launched the attacks at the same time.
In four hundred elites, less than eighty had survived.
Nearly half of the Jiang family of South America elites who had been stationed in Recchi City died there.
This result made Jiang Qiannian lose his good mood at once, but he just did not know who he should be angry with.
He brought more than 70 surviving elites with him.
The Rekvia family rearranged a manor for him.
Returning to the manor, Jiang Qiannian stared absently at the Eastern European news on TV. His eyes were cold, and he wondered if he would report the loss to his elder brother.
In the news footage, the faces of Jiang Qiannian and Rekvia’s contemporary patriarch, Schenker, flashed and disappeared.
Shortly thereafter, the news skipped and the backs of Eyme and Snowdance Corps appeared.
They only showed their backs.
Jiang Qiannian snorted heavily and coldly and murmured something about the Qin family.
He took out his cell phone and was about to dial, but the doorbell suddenly sounded.
Jiang Qiannian frowned and picked up the intercom device nearby. “What’s the matter?”
“Second Master, Mr. Schenker is visiting. He has entered the manor.”
Sink Rekvia.
Jiang Qiannian was stunned, and he had no reason to ignore his most powerful ally in Eastern Europe.
He put the phone down and stood up and said, “I’ll go and pick him up.”
He went down quickly.
When he walked out of the main villa, he could see a row of lights of the cars.
The car team stopped in front of the villa.
The patriarch of the Rekvia family Schenker, who was just separated from Jiang Qiannian, smiled and got out of the car and shook hands with Jiang Qiannian.
“Mr. Jiang, Snowdance Corps has entered Eastern Europe,” Schenker said with a soft smile.
…
“I know.”
Jiang Qiannian nodded.
“But there is one thing that you may not know… there are very few heavyweight masters who entered the Snowdance Corps sequence. We are not yet sure of their…”
“Jiang Qiannian.”
Before Sink’s words were finished, a dull voice sounded suddenly.
That voice was so far away and so real, as if it were close to the ear, clear and calm.
This t.i.tle contained only three words.
But as the following word “Nian” fell, the whole night sky shook.
“Jiang Qiannian… Jiang Qiannian… Jiang Qiannian…”
The empty night seemed to suddenly become a mountain wall. The clear and empty sound echoed continuously in the night.
Sink’s words disappeared instantly in Jiang Qiannian’s ears.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the night sky.
The night was deep.
There was a touch of whiteness in the deep night.
The white dot was very clear, as if engraved in the illusory night, sharp and clear.
That white spot was moving.
It covered the entire manor with insane killing intent.
“I…”
The white dot quickly drew closer, and in the midst of it, it seemed like a meteor breaking through the darkness.
“Was to…”
The white spot began to expand and became white. The white pa.s.sed by all the way, and an afterimage of a hundred meters long was drawn in the night sky.
“Kill…”
The white became a figure, dressed in color as white as snow.
“You…”
Sword light gathered around the white figure.
“Here…”
The voice fell.
Suddenly, the overwhelming sword intent surged above the entire sky, like a cascading waterfall and a violent tide rising from the sky, roaring and shouting.
No Raging Fire, no Thunder-shocking Realm, no void.
Only sword intent!
A silver light appeared in Jiang Qiannian’s sight.
In the overwhelming sword intent, everything around it seemed to disappear completely. The manor, lawn, fountain, light, everything seemed to exist, but looked so false. Even the white figure became unreal.
Only the silver sword light that filled the night sky and tore the entire sky was so clear.
In real and illusory scenes, there was only one sword moving forward non-stop!
No word could describe this sword.
The sword appeared quickly and abruptly.
The silvery edge ran through the world, and Jiang Qiannian could not even judge the power of this sword.
Under the huge threat to life, he instinctively grabbed Schenker beside him and retreated at full speed.
The silver edge became the only thing under the night.
The silver light drew a straight line without any detours, and rushed into the villa instantly.
“Boom!”
The turbulent sword intent suddenly exploded in the dust and rocks that had collapsed in the sky.
Light, blood, gravel, soot, and car wreckage were mixed with appliances.
The sword light with smoke and dust turned into a circle of airwaves sweeping hundreds of meters around.
Where the airwaves pa.s.sed, the surrounding lawns and fountains were completely destroyed. In the hot but fireless sword intent, the original green manor turned into a desert in an instant.
Countless corpses were torn into blood foam and flew out.
Jiang Qiannian took Schenker and looked at the sword. His whole face became completely distorted.
The figure rushing into the villa was covered with a cloud of smoke and became dim.
But the clear footsteps accompanied by a huge heartbeat sounded in the smoke non-stop.
“Who… who is it…”
Schenker looked pale and stared at the large smoke in front of him. He swallowed the spit and roared suddenly.
The smoke slowly flew towards the night sky.
Blood slowly fell to the ground with the gravel.
Rekvia’s second manor was again ruined and at the same time became a desert.
Amidst the chaos, a person in a snow-white coat slowly walked out of the dusty ruins.
The clear and bland voice sounded in the night with the turbulent sword intent, echoing in the entire land nearby.
“Zhongzhou State, Li Tianlan.”
