Dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread over every corner of the city, like a bloody curtain gradually swallowing up everything in sight.
There is less than half an hour left before the official start of the "Sabbath" carnival night.
The "Isle of Olympus" hanging high above York City is already decorated with lights.
On every high-rise building, dark blue flags fluttered in the wind.
The icons of angel wings suddenly spread over most of the city in the sky. The crazy citizens were so excited that they each poked their heads out of their windows and looked at the setting sun, which was only a small part of the sky.
to them.
The "Sabbath" held every five years is the perfect opportunity to vent their murderous desires.
on this day.
There is no maintenance of order, let alone the restraint of law.
Clean up those powerless bastards in Xiacheng District, and no one will hold them accountable or ask questions.
Many big families have even formed special hunting teams, prepared advanced flying vehicles, and are waiting to start killing everyone after nightfall.
Compared to the cheers on the "Island of Olympus".
People in Shangcheng District are obviously much more restrained. Every door is closed, and there are no pedestrians on the streets.
The entire fortress city was as quiet as a ghost town.
In fact, they who belong to the middle class are also in danger on this day.
Fortunately, they all live in large apartments and high-end communities. Although they are heavily defended, they are not the kind of soft persimmons who can be exploited by others.
The rules of "Sabbath" are simple and violent to the extreme.
Everyone can be a hunter, and may also become prey at any time!
Citizens in uptown areas usually hide in their homes and take precautions.
Adhering to the basic principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", if any arrogant person dares to come to the door to cause trouble, they will definitely make them pay a heavy price, even if they die.
Under such perverted rules.
The only people who can safely vent their murderous desires are the mud-legged people living in the lower city.
They are ignorant, poor and used to being oppressed.
They have no background, no strength, and even a decent brick house is a luxury for them.
This is definitely an excellent prey that will never be able to stand up!
At this moment, Xiacheng District was filled with gloom and mist.
A large number of civilians fled the wooden houses and shacks where they originally lived, and followed the experienced elders to hide in every corner of the underground city.
Due to lack of mobility.
Many children were treated as abandoned children and were left alone and shivering in dilapidated residences.
Even the elderly simply took their own lives and became cannon fodder in this grand festival.
The dirty streets and alleys are filled with panic.
Standing on a shabby billboard.
Jonathan, who was still in ragged clothes, looked at the silent downtown area from a distance, his brows filled with a sad chill.
Buzz buzz~~
A rapid buzzing sound sounded from below.
On the ground, the riders belonging to the "Sark Cavalry" have already gathered together.
Hundreds of heavily equipped motorcycles were lined up, ready to march toward the neighborhoods of downtown residents.
"Boss..."
Jump up onto the towering billboard.
The sturdy man in black slowly stepped forward and reported: "Brothers are all here. There are 637 people in total. They are all carefully selected first-class masters and are ready to go at any time."
He nodded silently.
Still overlooking the dilapidated streets in front of him, Jonathan asked in a deep voice: "How much time is left until the 'Sabbath' carnival night officially starts?"
He glanced at the skull watch on his wrist.
The big man in black responded quickly: "Probably, there are still ten minutes!"
Narrow your eyes.
Jonathan stood with his hands behind his hands, letting the oncoming heat waves blow away his messy hair.
"Did all the money go to the brothers?"
"Um......"
He was slightly startled.
The big man in black nodded and responded: "According to your instructions, I have divided the money equally among the brothers who participated in this operation. For those brothers who have families, I have also made all arrangements, but the boss... .”
He hesitated for a moment.
The big man in black asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I still don't understand, why...why do you do this?!"
Lift your head and close your eyes.
Jonathan took a deep breath, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just one day ago.
All the casinos and romantic venues owned by Sack Iron Cavalry were closed down by Jonathan.
Not only that.
He also uncharacteristically sold off all the assets he had collected over the years, converted them into cash, and distributed them to his subordinates who had been with him through life and death over the years.
Scatter all your wealth and make a desperate move.
What Jonathan did surprised everyone around him.
"look here......"
He grabbed the shoulder of the big man in black.
Jonathan raised his hand and pointed to a dilapidated neighborhood and asked silently: "Tell me, what did you see?"
"Well......"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Looking along Jonah's colored fingers, the big man in black responded in astonishment: "Isn't this just a street in the Lower City? We grew up in this hellish place, it's already stale!"
"wrong."
Shaked his head.
Jonas murmured to himself: "This is our home..."
Startled suddenly.
The big man in black was stunned on the spot, looking at the dark shacks and wooden houses in front of him again, dumbfounded and speechless.
"Like you, I have been homeless in Xiacheng District since I was a child..."
The two stood side by side on the towering billboard.
Jonathan couldn't help but sigh: "At that time, my dream was very simple. I just hoped that one day I would be able to live a good life with enough food and clothing, without having to hide around or sleep in the open..."
There was a pause.
Jonathan smiled miserably and continued: "Later, I became a night watchman, and my ideal became to have power and strength, no longer relying on others, let alone living based on other people's faces..."
"So, I established the "Sark Cavalry". After these few years of licking blood on the knife edge, power, money and status, I thought I had got everything I wanted, but in fact, I am still where I am. It’s just a step!”
Thought for a moment.
The big man in black looked moved. He had followed Jonathan for many years and witnessed the other side's many grievances and hardships along the way.
The "Sark Cavalry" can keep pace with the other two major forces in the lower city, and Jonathan's hard work and painstaking efforts over the years are indispensable.
All the pain and suffering is simply unknown.
"I hate and despise the weak, but I don't know the consciousness that a truly strong person should have..."
Raise your hands and spread your palms.
Jonathan looked at his palms, and then clenched his fists tightly.
"To be strong is to not be bullied, not to bully your hometown!"
A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Jonathan said solemnly: "The Lower City is the place where I was born and raised. It's my turn to do something for the people here!"
He looked at Jonathan blankly.
The big man in black was silent for a long time, nodded and replied: "Understood... Boss, don't worry, none of our brothers are cowards. Now that you have decided, whether it is to go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of fire, we I will follow you to the end!"
He patted his shoulder with his backhand.
Jonathan nodded with pleasure and said in a deep voice: "Go, let everyone prepare to set off, and everything will proceed as planned!"
"yes!"
Grinning.
The big man in black immediately turned over and jumped off the billboard, calling hundreds of cavalry into formation.
Look at the deserted streets again.
He slowly opened his palm, and a black mouse immediately ran into his palm with quick movements.
"Green, I want you to know that even rats living in the gutter still have their own dignity."
Woo~~~
A long whistle suddenly sounded across the sky.
The entire city of York was startled, and everyone trembled unexpectedly.
The carnival night of "Sabbath" officially begins——
