The grand knot in Jordan was put down in advance by Christine, and was not started by the British and Southern governments outside.
After realizing the truth, Ista suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He thought he knew something about Christine. When faced with the horrific and grotesque disaster, Christine showed a calmness and coolness that Ista could only be ashamed of. Therefore, Ista clearly knows that Christian is not a person who will pull down the Great Formation in advance out of panic. It is impossible for him not to know what will happen to the unprepared Jordan who pulls down the Great Formation in advance.
So the question is, why would he do this?
"Lord Ishtar, it seems that the two of us have discovered something... unusual."
Ackerman thought far more than Ishtar. He put down the data about the Great Formation Realm in his hand and said to Ishtar with his lips raised: "What do you think about this piece of information now?"
Without any hesitation, Ista pressed his hand on the document and replied directly: "Tell Zhou Li that this thing cannot be hidden."
"How to say?"
Ackerman's mind turned quickly and he immediately continued: "We don't have his personal contact information, and we are not sure whether Kristen did this now. The two people are now closely connected, and it is very risky for us to intervene rashly." It may be regarded as having an impure purpose.”
After hearing Ackerman's analysis, Ista calmed down. He stood by the table, his face hidden in the gloom, and his expression could not be seen clearly. After a long time, Ishtar gently knocked on the table and said to Ackerman: "This information cannot be hidden. If you hide it, you will be irresponsible to the entire Jordan. Get ready. We will go directly to Zhou Li's residence to visit him in a moment. .”
"You have to know that if you do this, no matter how you explain it later, the nobles will acquiesce that you have a connection with Zhou Li."
Faced with Ackerman's words, Ishtar twisted his neck and made a clicking sound. He took the Consul's Medal and threw it into his pocket, sneered and replied: "Their lives are not valuable to me. Don't forget, besides Christine, the only one who holds military power is me. "
"I knew it."
Ackerman, who already knew what answer his boss would give, smiled helplessly. He stood up, took the document bag on the side and began to pack the two pieces of data.
"In what name are we visiting?"
Ackerman, who was arranging a disguise on his document bag, asked without looking up. Ista thought for a moment and responded:
"Let's just talk about my experience of coming to ask the Archon for advice."
"inappropriate."
Shaking his head, he wrapped the document bag layer by layer, then took out a package and pressed it on it. Ackerman raised his head and objected: "This excuse is too deliberate and it is easy for others to see the clues."
"Say one."
Ista raised his chin and motioned for Ackerman to think of one for him. After packing the package thoroughly, Ackerman pondered for a moment, and then said to Ishtar: "Just say that you are not satisfied with the arrangement of the city defense army, and you must give an explanation."
"is this okay?"
"It's better than yours."
After putting on his coat and carrying the package behind his back, Ackerman put his cowboy hat on his head and said firmly: "At least, this excuse will not be used by those nobles."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Putting on his windbreaker, top hat, and holding a pearwood pipe, Ista walked to the office door and pushed it open.
"Lord Archon Istar, do you have any orders?"
In front of the government building, two Templar soldiers saluted Ishtar and asked respectfully.
"You, Master Zhou Li, have made a mess for my city defense army, and you still ask me what my orders are?"
With a cold expression, Istar and Ackerman walked straight out, ignoring the two stunned soldiers beside them. One soldier wanted to say something, but another soldier stopped him and shook his head at him.
The journey was smooth, proving that Zhou Li was completely unprepared for himself. Ista and Ackerman were not too surprised by this. With the roar of engines, military vehicles speeded on the road.
Ackerman held the steering wheel and stared at the road ahead. Even though the road was very quiet at this time, with few pedestrians and vehicles at all, he still maintained 100% concentration. Ishtar's pipe in his hand was smelling of tobacco. He looked at the retreating scenery outside the car window, his brows full of worry.
In an instant, Ishtar suddenly crushed the pipe in his hand, and a blue halo bloomed in his hand, instantly spreading throughout the vehicle. The next second, a huge momentum burst out from under the car, directly overturning the steel behemoth in mid-air.
"Enemy attack!"
With an angry shout, Istar's right hand slammed down on the seat. The violently shaking car sank instantly and was embedded in the ground, but it was not damaged at all.
Ackerman also reacted very quickly. As a top "gun cowboy", Ackerman instantly took out a ferocious revolver from his waist. He protected the package with his left hand and pointed the barrel of the gun at the car door with his right hand and roared three times. , the entire left side of this military vehicle, which could withstand the impact of platinum, was opened. Ishtar controlled the water flow to quickly wrap himself and Ackerman, and threw them out of the vehicle.
After stepping on the water and falling to the ground, Ishtar looked gloomily at the terrifying figure that slowly emerged from the ground in front of him - a huge white maggot with countless eyes.
"It seems that some people don't want us to bring this to Zhou Li."
Ishtar pulled out the metal fragment from his waist, spat, and covered the wound with water. He patted the dust on his body, and a burning fighting spirit gradually rose in his eyes.
"The Templars will arrive in two minutes at the latest."
Crushing the communication talisman he carried with him, Ackerman took out another revolver and turned it around in his hand, then pointed the gun at the white maggot in front of him.
"It won't take me two minutes to kill it!"
Ishtar, who was obviously the most violent on the battlefield but was a water control master, crossed his hands, and a raging stream of water covered his body. It kept surging, and invisible power filled Ishtar's body. A deafening sonic boom sounded, and a huge wave of water burst out behind him. Ishtar appeared in front of the maggot almost instantly. His right fist hit the maggot's head with a huge force, and a wave of power spread. Come, the ground made a shaking sound.
This punch directly smashed the white maggots into the ground. Ishtar did not stop his hand. He raised his hands in mid-air. At this time, gunshots rang out. The fire pump not far away was suddenly broken, and a handful of water was poured out. The huge "awl" constructed appeared in Ishtar's hand. At the same time, a bullet with a cold light shot into the water cone, a clicking sound was heard, and the water cone instantly froze into an ice cone.
"Smash it for me!"
With blue veins popping out, Ishtar slammed the huge ice pick directly onto the maggots beneath him. Faced with the terrifying pressure, the white maggots did not hesitate and burrowed directly into the ground, barely avoiding the ice pick attack.
But it didn't end there. After the ice pick hit the ground, Istar suddenly dodged to the left inexplicably. The red bullet shattered the ice pick like a comet, and then turned the ice pick into a huge amount of water. He slammed his hands on the ground, and a huge amount of water quickly dissolved into the ground as if on command. As Ishtar closed his hands, the maggots in the ground were firmly fixed in the moist soil, and then slowly pulled out of the earth.
"Want to escape?"
Gu Jiang
With a cold snort, Ishtar leaned back heavily, and the maggots were caught by the water element in the soil and broke out of the ground. Before the maggots could counterattack, Ackerman climbed onto the street lamp at some point and placed the already assembled sniper rifle on his knees. His body seemed to be frozen in a half-crouched position, without any heaving.
The next second, his finger pulled the trigger, and the magic engine roared. The magic circle that had been engraved in the gun was instantly activated, and a mithril bullet burst out from the muzzle, carrying countless elements and amplifications, as hard as thunder. It blasted into the maggot's skull.
Accompanied by fire and explosion sounds, the maggot's head was instantly blown into a hollow. The long and thick body twitched twice, and then became silent.
"One minute and three seconds, that's it?"
After dispersing the water behind him and letting them return to the fire hydrant obediently, the demigod Ishtar kicked the corpse of the maggots in front of him with a little disappointment, "What's funny? Is it the Gospel's plan to let Platinum's weirdo die?"
"The Gospels can't be that stupid."
Shaking his head, Ackerman put away this brilliant musket and carefully inserted the revolver into the gun bag on his waist. At this moment, the Templars' halo flickered, and a group of fully armed Templars appeared from the street nearby.
"Roja, captain of the third detachment of the Templar Legion, reports for duty!"
After taking a look at the corpse of the maggot not far away, Roja quickly trotted to Ishtar and saluted.
"It's okay, it came quickly enough."
It's not a strange thing. The Templars' dispatch speed was indeed faster than usual. It's just that the old partners of Ishtar and Ackerman were too strong. No one expected that this huge monstrosity wouldn't last for two minutes. Didn't even hold on.
"Sorry, this was an oversight on our part."
Facing the stubborn Roja, Ista, who had long been accustomed to this upright man, waved his hands in disgust and said to him: "Okay, who do you keep showing this to? Quickly repair this floor and give it to me. A car is better than anything else.”
"Avery, hand over military vehicle number 301 to Archon Istar!"
Roja immediately issued the order, and soon, a brand new military vehicle was handed over to Ishtar. Istar didn't bother to talk to Royal. After Ackerman sat in the driver's seat, Istar opened the door and prepared to get in the car.
Then, something unexpected happened.
No one could react, and Ishtar's flow of water did not stop. In an instant, a sickle-like blade quickly passed through Roja's neck.
That's not a maggot, that's a cocoon.
The monster that emerged from the cocoon harvested Roja's life. The next second, the water penetrated the ferocious monster like a mantis like a sharp arrow.
"Me! Damn! You! Mom!"
His eyes were full of endless anger. Ishtar clenched his hands tightly. The water flowing into the body of the mantis monster instantly turned into countless sharp thorns, directly penetrating the mantis monster from the inside out. The mantis was riddled with holes and grotesque thought. To escape, the water flow book in the fire hydrant nearby will instantly wrap it up.
The next second, scarlet blood slowly seeped out from the water ball, and the minced meat fell on the ground, with some traces of green.
Without any hesitation, Ishtar poured pure water elements towards Roja who fell on the ground, hoping to save this stubborn soldier. However, when the water was about to touch the terrible wound, the water stopped.
Because at this time, Roja no longer had any breath.
Ishtar's hands were trembling. Apart from anger, there was only self-blame for his carelessness in his eyes. He slowly leaned down, stretched out his trembling hands, and gently closed Roja's eyes.
"Christine..."
Teeth kept chattering, and Ishtar's heart rumbled like a war drum. Seeing the lifeless Roja, Ista clenched her fists, filled with anger.
***************************
"Your students are going to challenge, and you're just drinking here?"
Facing Gerost's inquiry, Christine waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "It's just a platinum-level monster, and the one who attacked was the monster Ishtar. I guess Roja just went there to collect the monster's body." , and now that I’m drunk like this, I’ll just add to the chaos.”
"You kid, you used to like to be lazy in the barracks."
Shaking his head, Geralost poured down the wine bottle in his hand, found that it was empty, and threw it into the trash can nearby. He looked at the sky full of smog and sighed: "When will Jordan be able to control this smog problem? How could I remember that the sky was not like this a few decades ago?"
"Why are you looking for me? I'm just a soldier."
With a sneer, Christine stood up and said to Gerost: "If you really want to control the smog, you have to find Ishtar. Now he is the governor of Jordan, the kind who can leap over the dragon gate."
"I don't care. I live in the mountains and I don't see the same scenery as you city dwellers."
After burping, Gerost looked at Zhou Li who seemed to be thinking, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You've been a little uneasy since just now."
"Ah, nothing."
Zhou Li raised his head, thought for a while and asked Kristine: "What did you say Ista encountered just now?"
"What's wrong with a white maggot?"
Rubbing his chin, Zhou Li seemed to have thought of something, but the clue was fleeting.
"Why don't Roya report the situation now?"
As the general leader of the Knights Templar, Christine, who should receive Roja's report, picked up the communicator and looked at it with some confusion. After discovering that there was no message, Kristen clicked her tongue and said, "What's wrong with this kid? Is it handled so slowly this time?"
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door. Zhou Li and others were stunned for a moment. Then, the courtyard wall was washed away by a violent current, and a sturdy man wearing the Grand Consul's Medal appeared in front of the three of them.
"K! Li! Si! Ting!"
The person who came was none other than Ishtar, the current Grand Consul. At this time, his eyes were wide open, and his anger seemed to burn everything around him. He pointed at Christine and shouted angrily: "You are so fucking cruel!"
"You dare to kill even your own students!"
