Just like the last time Tesla saw the emperor, he was also wearing a very upright military uniform, but his chest was no longer covered with medals. His meticulously styled hair was now messy, and his forehead was also covered with medals. Sweat.
However, compared to the calmness when I saw him last time, now his brows were furrowed and his eyes were sunken. He looked like he hadn't slept for a long time, and his face was full of uneasiness.
The minister on one side was reporting to him the situation outside, his face was very serious.
"According to information from intelligence personnel at the port, our cruiser Goeben has been destroyed, and the Zeppelin was also destroyed by a strange weapon.
The airship crashed into the Thangka warehouse area, which was now a sea of fire. "
"What weapon?" Nicholas II asked.
"A submarine with a weapon on its front end that can control thunder and lightning."
"Control thunder and lightning?" Nicholas II thought of the weapon information that Tesla wanted to give to him before, but was destroyed, and he fell silent.
"How did the submarine enter the Baltic Sea?" he frowned.
"I don't know, it's like he suddenly appeared there."
"Both the Goeben and the Zeppelin were destroyed. The guard troops originally stationed in St. Petersburg are now in Moscow and cannot make it over." The minister said, "And the troops left behind in St. Petersburg are no match for the submarine. .”
Nicholas II gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, these people have planned it all!"
"There are also people protesting outside." The minister said, "The scale is much larger than the one ten years ago. The crowd even reached the city center, at least hundreds of thousands of people."
"This mob!" Nicholas II slammed his hand on the table angrily, "I once forgave them, but now they dare to cause trouble!"
"I told you ten years ago." The minister said, "The raging flood cannot be stopped. It can only be dredged, otherwise the final result will only be swallowed by the flood."
Nicholas II raised his head and said with an ugly expression, "What do you mean?"
"There is an old saying in Beichen, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat." The minister looked at Nicholas II, "You underestimate the power of the people. If you could handle it correctly ten years ago, you will not be able to do it today." It will never get out of hand."
"That's enough!" Nicholas II's cheeks twitched slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, "You mean, the root cause of everything is because of me?"
The minister did not continue to speak.
Nicholas II took a deep breath and looked at the man wearing a priest's uniform on one side.
"Father Gregory, you said you could help us escape to Germany?"
The priest whom he called Gregory looked very young, but probably around thirty years old. He wore sunglasses, which Nicholas II had been wearing on his face since the first time he saw him.
He smiled calmly at Nicholas II and bowed.
"Of course, it was a no-brainer for me."
"How to do it?" Nicholas II looked around, "There are so many people here."
After a pause, he said seriously to Gregory, "If I can't take my wife and daughter away, then I won't leave either."
"Don't worry, I can take you all away." Gregory said.
He took out a bag from his body and said, "I put some sand in this bag. This sand is not ordinary."
"Why is it not ordinary?" Nicholas II asked.
A mysterious smile appeared on his face, "You will know later."
After a pause, he continued, "However, we need to deal with the uninvited guests who broke into this place first."
As he finished speaking, the curtains above were suddenly opened. The two young men in assassin uniforms were falling from above, one on the left and the other on the right. They bent their knees and bumped into the priest, trying to knock the priest off. Fall to the ground.
But just when their knees hit the priest's chest, they felt that they were not hitting a person, but an extremely hard wall.
Their reaction speed was also very fast. While they were still in the air, they raised the hidden sword in their right hand and stabbed out. One stabbed towards the Tianling Gai, while the other stabbed towards the temple, both of which were fatal areas.
But the next moment, a trance suddenly appeared in their eyes, and the priest who was originally in front of them moved back a certain distance in an instant.
Then, they felt as if they were hit by a high-speed train. The powerful force lifted them both off and hit the wall hard on one side.
Ebony spit out a mouthful of blood and looked at the priest not far away in disbelief.
He still stood there with a wanton smile on his face.
With just one face-to-face encounter, Eboni knew that he was definitely no match for the existence in front of him.
I couldn't even see clearly how he did it.
It can be said that the existence in front of him is one of the most powerful existences he has ever seen in his generation.
Before this, he had only met two such people in his life.
One is the mentor of the Brotherhood, the legendary assassin Heilang who founded the Brotherhood.
And the other one is the mysterious old man who appeared at the Brotherhood headquarters before and beat up all the assassins in the headquarters.
The soldiers around him reacted and directly raised their rifles and pointed them at them.
Ebony and Ivory don't have Heilang's invulnerability, so they don't dare to act rashly.
Nicholas II reacted. He looked at the two people lying on the ground, and then at the priest.
"who are they?"
"Assassins." Gregory said, "In other words, they are one of the driving forces behind what is happening outside."
Hearing this, Nicholas II also showed a little anger in his eyes. He looked at the two guards and said sternly.
"Execute them!"
The guards loaded their guns obediently, and the two brothers slowly closed their eyes, calmly preparing to die.
From the moment they choose to become assassins, they are prepared to go to hell.
However, just when the guards pulled the trigger, several darts suddenly flew from the distance, and the darts accurately hit the hands of the two guards.
The guard howled in pain, covered his hand in pain, and dropped the gun in his hand to the ground.
At this moment, Nicholas II and everyone around him discovered that in the open corridor above them and even at another entrance downstairs, people wearing the same clothes as the two people lying on the ground were standing. People are surrounding this place.
There are many of them, thirty or forty people, far more than the guards here.
Nicholas II's heart instantly became tense, and he couldn't help but look at the priest named Gregory.
His expression was very calm, and he didn't seem surprised. He just looked at the assassins in front of him.
Behind those assassins, Hei Lang, who was wearing an assassin uniform, slowly walked out. At over a hundred years old, he was no longer as tall as he used to be and was slightly hunched over.
However, his eyes were still bright and his steps were still steady.
No one in the Brotherhood doubts that the legendary assassin is still capable of fighting at this age.
He often teaches new assassins combat skills by words and deeds.
And no one can defeat this legendary assassin head-on, not even forcing him to use his full strength.
Although the years have decayed his body and made him less physically fit than before, the years have also given him more sophisticated skills.
Seeing Heilang also coming in, Ebony and Ivory also breathed a sigh of relief.
For members of the Brotherhood, his presence means the end is certain.
Hei Lang put his hands behind his back, looked at the priest quietly, and smiled.
"Long time no see, Gregory."
"Yes, it's been more than thirty years," said Gregory.
He smiled disdainfully, "Are you, a rat hiding in a dark corner, finally willing to come out of the ditch?"
Hearing this, the other assassins around him frowned slightly. Some of them took a few steps forward to teach the priest a lesson, but Heilang raised his hand to stop him.
Ebony slowly got up from the ground, covered his chest and said, "Be careful, mentor. This person is terrifyingly strong, not much weaker than you."
"Huh?" Gregory seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing, "Not much weaker than him?"
"Ask him yourself if he dares to say such a thing?" He looked at Hei Lang and said sarcastically, "You must have remembered that your brotherhood was almost completely destroyed by me, right?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it." Hei Lang nodded. He untied his clothes and exposed his upper body.
He has the invulnerability given by bathing in the blood of the evil dragon. When he really fights, his clothes will become a hindrance to him.
Her bronzed skin shimmered in the sunlight that filtered through the stained glass windows.
Although he looks old, his upper body covered by clothes has a terrifying amount of muscles. His abdominal muscles are obvious, his chest muscles are strong, and his back muscles are especially perfect.
The reason why he looks a little hunched is because his back muscles are too developed. When he moves his shoulders backward, the back muscles actually form a slightly ferocious grimace.
No one would have thought that this would be the physical fitness of a centenarian.
However, there is a very ferocious scar on this ghost's face, and the scar brings an even more ferocious feeling to the back.
"You really almost killed half of my life back then." Hei Lang sighed with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Ebony and Ivory's pupils shrank slightly.
In their impression, Heilang is definitely the most powerful being in the world.
But even such a being was defeated by the priest in front of him?
He suddenly remembered something about the past that he had heard mentioned by some old men in the brotherhood.
The Brotherhood suffered an ambush decades ago. In that ambush, more than half of the top leaders of the Brotherhood died inside, and even the mentor was seriously injured.
It is precisely because of this that the Brotherhood stopped all overt activities and went underground.
When he asked in detail about the details of what happened at that time, the old man from the brotherhood said in a cryptic manner - something appeared at that time, an inhuman thing.
Just this one thing severely damaged Heilang and killed more than a dozen brotherhood elders.
Ebony looked at the priest - if that was what he was
But soon, Heilang's next words answered his suspicions.
"You are an inhuman existence, and I am a mortal. It is normal that I cannot defeat you." Heilang said calmly, "Even if everyone here adds up, they may not be your opponent."
Hearing this, the other assassins looked at each other, knowing that their mentor would not say such things without reason.
But it was precisely because of their trust in Heilang that they had an incredible feeling.
They couldn't help but look at the older assassins beside them.
So they saw the solemn expressions on these people's faces, and some of the people who personally participated in the battle even showed a little frightened expression.
The young assassins couldn't help but swallow and clenched their fists subconsciously.
Gregory couldn't help laughing, "You are self-aware, so are you going to escape now, or are you going to die here together?"
But Heilang smiled and shook his head, "No, we are going to kill you."
Gregory laughed even louder, "Kill me, how did you kill me?"
Heilang nodded in disbelief and said, "We really can't kill you, so I hired a helper."
As he finished speaking, under Ebony's gaze and behind Heilang, an old man slowly walked out.
His long silver-white hair hangs down his shoulders, his beard is almost there, and his old face has a pair of piercing eyes.
He was wearing a very simple gray shirt and linen trousers, very loose, like the clothes a farmer would wear.
It's like a kind neighbor who lives next door and often brings a chair to sit in the sun all day long.
But Eboli knew that this was the man who beat up all the assassins in the entire Brotherhood headquarters.
Gregory smiled disdainfully, "Even you can't beat me. Do you think you can kill me by sending one of your juniors?"
"not necessarily."
Arthur's eyelids narrowed slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He took a few steps and came to everyone, staring at Gregory quietly.
Suddenly, he seemed to see something. He looked behind Gregory with horrified eyes and exclaimed in a trembling voice.
"Hypnos!?"
Upon hearing this name, Gregory's expression changed instantly, and he turned his head and looked behind him in horror.
But it was at the moment when he was in a daze.
"boom!"
"Well!"
With a loud noise, Gregory screamed in pain, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and a sharp sword instantly pierced his chest!
The old man just now was holding the handle of the sword with sharp eyes.
The powerful force directly pushed Gregory against the wall behind him. The sword blade passed through him and also penetrated the wall. Like a nail, he was directly nailed to the wall!
