The operators of the Tower of Babel played the role of igniting the fire. They detonated the wave with the intention of dragging everyone into the abyss of destruction. To be honest, this form of mission completion method is not the same as that spread by Her Royal Highness. His style is completely contrary to his expectations and makes people dislike him.

If this is their true style, Kazdaele's fall does not seem surprising.

The upper-level rulers' methods are so cruel, and her subordinates will only execute them even more harshly, just like they are now.

Lin Lu didn't know how many people gathered in this border town, but it was conservatively estimated that the number should be more than 200. They should have rested peacefully here, left, and then died on a battlefield or died of ore disease. , but now they are all involved in an inexplicable melee, and very few of them can survive.

The source of everything is just a mission of Babita's team.

Maybe those mercenaries are not good people, but at least they don't deserve to die here.

"what!"

Suddenly, the wall of the house not far from the hotel was blasted open by explosives that flew from nowhere. Through the huge hole, a woman could be seen holding a little girl in her arms, looking at the collapsed wall with a horrified expression. Not far away from them, a special crossbow arrow flashing with red light fell from the sky and nailed into the ground. It didn't take much thought to know that it would not be a good thing.

"Isn't this a gathering place for mercenaries? Why are there civilians and children?"

The doubtful thoughts flashed past, and Lin Lu didn't have time to think too much. She picked up her staff and sword and jumped out of the window. However, at such a long distance, even he had no time to stop the explosion of the crossbow.

The fire is on!

thump~

In a trance, it seemed as if there was a distant bell ringing. The explosion, rubble, and crazy crowd stopped for a moment. Even the newly detonated crossbow was frozen at the moment of explosion. Mostema's figure suddenly appeared in front of the broken wall. , reached out to pull it up, threw it into the sky, and then time started flowing again.

boom!

Dazzling flames bloomed in the air, setting off wild wind and waves, making Mostema's clothes rustle.

"This is a free village on the border of Kazdaele. Of course there are civilians. Otherwise, who lives in so many houses in the town? Who are the people who provide services to the mercenaries?"

Her voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a strange power that was clearly transmitted to Lin Lu's ears.

Yes, since it is a complete town, of course there are civilians. Isn't this a very simple truth?

Lin Lu suddenly understood. She took off the azure stone cover on her head and gently placed it on the ground. Her expression became more serious than ever before.

"Mostima, please take care of the civilians in the town and gather them for protection if possible. This farce should end here."

——No one is born to die. What did the residents of these towns do wrong?They did nothing wrong, they just wanted to find a way to survive in this cruel world. Even such a small wish was mercilessly broken because of a mission.

For the first time since she came to this world, Lin Lu felt strongly dissatisfied with the actions of some people.

He is very unhappy now, very unhappy. This means that someone is going to be unlucky. What a bullshit agreement, go to hell!

"Stop."

The flying crossbow arrow was caught directly in his hand. The crazy-looking mercenary raised his crossbow. Just as he was about to continue nocking the arrow, the figure that flashed in front of him grabbed him by the throat and slapped him to the ground.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

The blue magic light exploded, and the calming effect of Kallia's magic spread, causing the mercenary who was dominated by madness to wake up instantly. He swallowed nervously after seeing the undisguised murderous intent in Lin Lu's eyes.

"Listen, I heard..."

"You will stay here from now on. If you dare to continue participating in the war, you will be dead. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Very good. Smart people always live longer. I hope you are also a smart person."

Letting go of the mercenary's neck, Lin Lu looked up and scanned the frantic battlefield, took a deep breath, and held a pure source stone and the Star Bear's amulet in the palm of her hand, and the strong light enveloped the entire palm.

Ow! ! ! !

The blood energy rose, the crimson mark disappeared in a flash, and the heavy pressure and roar instantly suppressed all the momentum on the battlefield.

A huge dragon head several meters high condensed out of thin air from above the blood-colored smoke, and roared ferociously. The soul-stirring roar spread, and large swaths of ice mist sprayed into the sky and then scattered down, causing the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly.

The color of the pure source stone dimmed little by little, and the ice mist spit out from the dragon's mouth swayed down, covering an area of ​​[-] meters in radius. The crystal clear ice crystals fell on every corner and everyone, making them His movements became stiff and slow.

"I said, stop!"

The thunderous roar was clearly transmitted to the ears of every awake mercenary around, causing their movements to pause. Everyone stopped attacking in unison and looked at the ferocious dragon head that slowly dissipated.

Prayer·Long Bing!

Longxiang Prayer, who transforms himself into a giant dragon and breathes out the breath of an ice dragon, has power beyond mortals, and has a strong sense of shock in terms of momentum and power.

crackling...

When the giant dragon's head condensed by prayer disappeared, the wooden sign tightly clenched in the palm suddenly cracked, and the color of the pure source stone also dimmed a lot.

The consumption of Longxiang prayer is far higher than that of ordinary magic and prayer. The continuous output requires a larger energy reserve. Therefore, Lin Lu can only use the energy contained in the pure source stone to fully display it. This will undoubtedly cause serious energy losses. It's wasteful and puts a lot of pressure on the user's body.

If it is a local Terran, such rough use will undoubtedly directly infect severe ore disease.

Moreover, after one use, the amulet used as a temporary holy mark was almost completely scrapped, and the valuable pure source stone had also had at least half of its energy extracted.

But this use is indeed worth the money, and the effect is better than expected.

In the area shrouded by the dragon's breath, the fiery mercenaries who had just been fighting each other with swords temporarily calmed down a lot under the invasion of the cold wave.

Chapter 47 The Evil Spirit of Babel

However, it is not enough. This alone is not enough to completely stop the mercenaries who are fighting each other.

The scope of action of dragon ice cannot cover the entire town, and the mercenaries who lick blood from the edge of their swords will not stop because of a little bit of ice mist. The roar of the dragon can scare them and make them fearful, but that's all.

To truly stop these ferocious gangsters, more direct and violent means are needed.

such as……

There was a thunderous roar, crimson meteors fell from the sky, fierce fire rolled in, the divine bird rose from the rolling fire, and the violent hurricane swept across the earth with scorching temperature.

Ice and fire intertwined, and the war-torn town suddenly became silent. The melted ice crystals turned into water mist and rose, covering the earth with a layer of mist.

The bright artillery fire from Rutland's large guns exploded, and the sound was beyond the reach of these low-level mercenaries. Coupled with the deterrence of the dragon roar just now, most people involuntarily clenched their weapons. , cautiously distance yourself from the people around you, and dare not act rashly.

Of course, there were still some people who did not stop, but some of them were soon pierced through their hands and feet by bullets whose speed exceeded the limit of naked eye recognition. The strong impact force directly flew their bodies out and smashed into the ruins.

Lin Lu's figure flashed continuously on the street. The light blue translucent daggers with long arms circled around him. From time to time, one flew out and shot into the bodies of some mercenaries who still refused to stop, knocking them down.

After all, it is just a border town with a limited number of personnel. Except for a small number of mercenaries who are hiding and have died, the total number of mercenaries currently active on the streets is no more than a hundred. Between Lin Lu and Mosti The situation quickly stabilized under Ma's violent handling.

Regardless of their reasons or intentions, the mercenaries consciously stopped fighting after seeing two powerful men far superior to themselves taking action, and did not dare to make any further moves.

As Mostema said, there is no way for a pure fool to survive in Kazdare, and learning to assess the situation is one of the necessary conditions to ensure life safety.

Soon, the entire border town became basically quiet, and the only place still fighting was the house where the Tower of Babel team first attacked.

The world of mercenaries is relatively simple. Whoever has the biggest fist is the right one. Now there are strong men with absolute dominance who ask them to stop. Not many people dare to disobey for the sake of their own lives.

But the operators of the Tower of Babel are different. Unlike ordinary mercenaries, they pursue mission priority. Even if they encounter an accident, they will not stop immediately. They will only try their best to complete the mission faster.

Compared to scattered mercenary groups, they need another way of dealing with them, gentle contact...or more direct and violent stopping.

Lin Lu was unhappy with what they did, so he chose the second option.

"Be good, don't cry, it will be fine soon."

The Sakaz woman holding her child shivered in the corner of the ruins. The little girl in her arms hugged her mother tightly, her big eyes full of fear. Lin Lu stopped in front of them and touched them with a gentle smile. The little girl took out a sour plum candy brought from Longmen from her pocket, put it in her hand, and walked away from the ruins.

Mostima suddenly appeared on the spot, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but did not say it.

"I said stop, didn't you hear me?"

A bullet was fired from the roof of the hotel and shot into the dilapidated house filled with dust and smoke. Lin Lu's narrowed eyes suddenly widened and her figure disappeared instantly. She flashed on the balcony on the second floor of the hotel, stepping on the wall and leaping high. , climbed up to the top with bare hands, the glow on the top of the staff flowed, condensing a sharp translucent sword blade and slashed down.

Ding!

The magic sword and the tactical dagger collided. Scout flicked his wrist and dodged, but did not take the initiative to attack.

"Mr. Lin Lu, keeping promises is a virtue."

"Fuck the promise."

The blue blade's light floated and pointed at Scout. Lin Lu's face was indifferent, cold murderous intent spread, and the surrounding area seemed to be instantly stained with a layer of blood.

The murderous intent that was as real as reality came crashing down, making Scout, who had been through battle for a long time, moved by it and his body tensed up.

How many people has he killed?Hundreds?Thousands?Even...tens of thousands?

Without the training of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it would be impossible to have such an amazing momentum!

"If one child dies because of you, you all stay here today."

A biting chill filled every inch of the space, and the indifferent voice fell into Scout's ears, making the experienced Tower of Babel operator couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Lu, but... this is the mission. If you must give an explanation, then as the maker of the plan, I can pay the price for it."

Guilt and helplessness were mixed in his heart, and Scout couldn't say more. He wanted to defend, but found that he had no defensible reason.

In any case, this matter was indeed their fault. They single-handedly broke the tranquility of this border town and turned it into a battlefield just because of 'the plan'.

There is no doubt that the doctor's tactics and plans have always been excellent, and he can always achieve the greatest results at the smallest cost. He once promised to bring victory, and he actually achieved it.

But other than that, all factors in the mission are no longer valued by him, even the sacrifice of innocent people. As long as a victory can be achieved in the end, he will issue orders without hesitation. The same is true for this mission.

Scout felt guilty about this, but couldn't refuse.

He realizes that what he did was wrong, but the weight of the 'mission' transcends his personal emotions.

"The one who made the plan? Are you really that?"

The magic sword slowly dissipated, and Lin Lu sneered, feeling quite ridiculous.

"The reason why you are still standing here is because just now you killed the mercenaries who almost affected the mother and daughter. You didn't really want to hurt them, but you still carried out such a cruel plan... Haha , let me guess, who asked you to do this? Is it the famous... evil spirit of the Tower of Babel? "

"Rebuild this town and give the civilians the compensation they deserve. You can get out of here with your mission objectives. Then, I want to see the real makers of the plan apologize to them."

"Do as I say, you have no right to refuse. Believe me, when I want to kill someone, no one can escape, not even the emperor who sits on the throne, or... the high god."

Chapter 48 The Color of the World

After listening to Lin Lu's words, Scout opened his eyes wide and felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart. He didn't think that a remote border town was worth threatening the king who occupied half of Kazdaele.

No matter from which angle you look at it, their values ​​are unequal. Although it is cruel, the reality is like this. Only a madman would have this idea.

"You know this is impossible, Mr. Lin Lu. Rebuilding the town and providing compensation are not problems. We would have done the same, but we cannot agree to the last request."

"You are very powerful, and no one of you is inferior to the elite operators of Babita, but we cannot compromise because of this."

"That's why we don't have to talk?"

These words were almost a direct admission that the person who made the plan was the notorious Evil Spirit of Babel. Lin Lu nodded slightly, understanding the meaning of Scout's words.

"Only the last condition is not enough. The damage to this small town was not serious, and there were no civilian casualties. Mr. Lin Lu, you really have no reason to be hostile to us here, so why don't we each take a step back?"

"I probably know what kind of person you are. I have to say that what you said makes sense. Maybe most people in this world do this, but..."

With a joking smile on her lips, Lin Lu asked, "Why do you think I'm the same as them? Reason? I never need that kind of thing. What you did makes me very unhappy. Someone should pay the price for it." It’s just what I want to do and it has nothing to do with this town or the residents here.”

Overbearing, unabashedly overbearing!

There is no shortage of lunatics in the Sakaz tribe, but Scout has never seen such a domineering person.

Just do it because you want to?

How unscrupulous this is!How crazy!

Madman, this is simply a complete madman!

Scout could feel that this seemingly gentle man was not joking at all. He was serious. If they did not agree to his conditions, then this man would really find the location of the Tower of Babel and achieve his goal.

Doesn't he know the strength gap between the two sides?

Indeed, Scout must admit that he and his two companions are as strong as the elite operators of the Tower of Babel and can easily suppress hundreds of mercenaries in the town. However, the Tower of Babel is not just an organization. That’s all, it represents half of Kazdaele!

No matter how powerful an individual's force is, it is still insignificant in front of an organized army. Even the Lord of the Royal Court and the Regent would not dare to say such words easily.

If Lin Lu really dared to do that, he would definitely die, and Scout didn't want to see that ending.

Although they have different philosophies, Lin Lu is indeed a good person. He is willing to save defenseless civilians and fight for the compensation they deserve for the weak. This is not in line with the philosophy of the Tower of Babel and the vision of Her Royal Highness. Conflict, even fit perfectly.

There is no need for both sides to come to a life-or-death situation.

After all, because of Mostema's timely action, the few civilians in the town were not harmed. Their losses could be fully compensated, and they would not go to the most extreme extent.

"Mr. Lin Lu, I think..."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

Lin Lu's face sank, and the rich magical radiance slowly condensed on the top of the staff, indicating that she would take action if she disagreed.
