Chapter 1505
Chapter 1470: The World Government Has Arrived! (Two-in-One)
The cool night wind was mixed with the scent of blood and piercing screams.
"Ugh!"
"Protect the general!"
"General Gaius, please leave quickly! We can't defeat those monsters!"
Beside the Meta Cone Fountain Pool, Gaius sat on his white horse, his expression grim as he listened to the pleas of the officers around him.
But his eyes were fixed on the four Awakened Beings who were constantly breaking through the battle formation and closing in.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the long sword in his hand high, his eyes bloodshot, and roared in anger:
"Don't you understand yet! We have no retreat!"
"No matter what is ahead, we can only move forward! Forward! Forward!"
"Soldiers, charge with me!!!"
Gaius actually already realized that this rebellion was difficult to succeed.
They would be swept into the trash heap of history like the coup plotters of the past.
But he still mustered his courage and fought desperately.
"For Rome!"
Hooves lifted high, a neighing cry.
General Gaius led a group of knights charging towards the foremost Awakened Being, his crimson cloak burning like flame behind him.
*Bang——————*
The sturdy white horse, the sharp sword edge carrying a powerful impact, collided with the ferocious-looking Awakened Being.
However, reality was cruel.
With the splashing blood, the white horse's neck was severed, and the sword edge shattered in the air.
Three hideous gashes appeared on the golden armor on Gaius's chest, and at the same time, his entire body was sent flying by a tremendous strength.
At this moment.
He could only watch with tearing eyes as his subordinate knights fell one after another under the wildly swinging claws of the Awakened Beings amidst their maniacal laughter.
Gaius's heart was filled with immense anger and hatred at this moment.
He hated why the world allowed such strong monsters to exist.
But he seemed to have forgotten his past self, how delighted he was when he saw the Dragon Descendants charging at the frontline on the battlefield, massacring the Carolingian Kingdom army, and bringing victory to his side.
"Hehehe, it's your turn now, General Gaius-sama~"
Covered in blood, the grinning Awakened Being stepped over the ground full of corpses and slowly walked towards Gaius, who was lying on the ground, tightly clutching his chest, his expression pale.
Once upon a time, whenever Gaius passed through the main gate, they would salute him.
But now this general, who should have been young and promising, was about to die by their hands.
And perhaps they could even taste his meat?
"You don't need to be too smug, monsters... The glory of Rome won't end here. So... sooner or later, you will all be decapitated!"
Gaius gritted his teeth, furious, and cursed without any fear.
"Decapitated?"
"Heh—, you humans think you can kill us?"
"Get it straight, you're just our food."
The Awakened Being sneered as it extended its right palm, reaching for General Gaius.
The three Awakened Beings behind it.
One watched with interest, one squatted on the ground, eating heartily.
Another curiously looked up at the 'white flowers' in the night sky, and the occasional golden light that bloomed.
Suddenly.
First, a rapid whistling sound rang out.
Immediately after, the monster arm reaching towards Gaius was instantly blown apart by a water ball that appeared from nowhere.
And Gaius was also pushed several meters away by the air current formed by the water explosion.
But just as his body was about to fall heavily to the ground again, it was caught in time by a pair of warm, strong palms.
Across from them.
The Awakened Being who lost an arm was as stunned as Gaius.
But its reaction wasn't slow.
It immediately instinctively looked up in the direction the water ball came from, only to find its line of sight completely dark.
That wasn't the night.
Instead, a black rod with a hook at the end was striking towards its face at an incredible speed.
It tried to raise its left arm to block, but it was ultimately a step too late.
*Bang!*
The black rod, wrapped in qi energy, swept past, and the Awakened Being's head instantly exploded into flesh and blood. Its massive body, headless, fell backward powerlessly, making a heavy muffled sound.
The entire process didn't even take two seconds, happening and ending in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, a figure that looked very short and slender gently landed on the Awakened Being's chest.
The reason for saying short was that his estimated height wouldn't exceed 1.6 meters, no, perhaps not even 1.5 meters...
Yet, such a person instantly killed an Awakened Being!
"Who are you?!"
The death of its companion caused the Awakened Being who had been watching to question angrily.
The other two Awakened Beings were also attracted.
But before they could speak, two whistling sounds appeared again.
A wind blade and an electric flash appeared out of thin air behind them.
The next second.
The heads of these two Awakened Beings were cleanly separated from their bodies and thrown into the air.
One could see doubt and surprise still lingering on their faces, as if they hadn't realized they were already dead...
"The intelligence is correct. These guys can't detect our Invisibility Technique, and the head is indeed a fatal spot."
Hanai Fumio, a Chunin from Sunagakure in the Ninja World, tightly gripped his kunai, which had wind release chakra flowing over its surface.
He looked down at the corpse of the Awakened Being below him, which had been feasting moments ago, and said coldly.
"Indeed, although their strength is not weak, that's only in head-on combat."
Tsuruta Daisuke, standing beside another Awakened Being's corpse not far away, nodded in agreement.
He was from Cloud Hidden Village and was also a Chunin, belonging to the Hidden Mist Unit.
And just as Tsuruta Daisuke said.
The average strength of Awakened Beings, according to the Otherworld Strategy Committee's assessment, is above military lieutenant colonel.
But ninjas who know their weakness and whose invisibility cannot be seen through don't need to exchange blows with them head-on. They can just get behind them and backstab and decapitate them.
However, one must be careful when encountering powerful Awakened Beings.
Because their sixth sense is not only more acute, but their agility/dexterity is also faster.
They can also vaguely sense air fluctuation and mental fluctuation.
Some Awakened Beings with sensitive sense of smell or sense of hearing can even detect someone approaching through scent and sound.
In short, there are also experts among Awakened Beings, not to mention experts like Abyssal Ones.
"You! You... Who are you!"
The only remaining Awakened Being in the court had recovered its right arm.
But facing the surrounding situation, it was also terrified.
For a moment, it didn't dare to make a move rashly.
Just seconds ago there were four, but in the blink of an eye, three were killed.
The key was that these humans' abilities were too strange; it didn't see how they approached at all.
And the wind blade and lightning it just saw were unheard of.
"Clean it up."
The short man who had made the first move casually gave the order.
Then he walked towards Gaius, who was receiving simple treatment from Hyuga Naomi.
Yes.
The fourth member of this Mist Village squad was a female warrior from the Hyuga Clan, rank elite genin.
There was no other way, Sea Ninja Village was really short on people right now, plus the Hidden Mist Unit didn't have high combat power requirements.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the Awakened Being immediately fled towards the north.
Its speed was fast, but Hanai Fumio and Tsuruta Daisuke's Body Flicker Technique was also not slow.
In the blink of an eye, they blocked its front and back.
The Awakened Being looked at Hanai Fumio blocking its path and completely panicked, about to fight him desperately.
But Hanai Fumio had no interest in fighting it and immediately threw a prepared kunai.
Seeing that the kunai had neither wind blade nor lightning on it, the Awakened Being felt relieved and casually tried to swat it away.
But who knew that upon getting close, it saw a piece of paper attached to it that suddenly began to burn.
"Hmm?!"
The Awakened Being immediately felt something was wrong, but it was still engulfed by the light of the instant explosion.
*Boom——————*
A deafening rumble sounded, attracting Gaius's astonished gaze.
But the sound coming from in front of him forced him to pull his line of sight back.
"I didn't expect you to charge forward and commit suicide. You really scared me. Why didn't you run?"
Gaius did not underestimate the other party because of his short stature. He looked up and answered the other party's question in a heavy and serious tone.
"Because I am a general. If I must die, I hope to die in combat with my soldiers, and besides..."
"Besides what?"
"I, who am powerless to save Rome, do not need to continue living."
As soon as Gaius said this, the person seemed touched and remained silent.
It wasn't until the commotion of the battle behind them gradually subsided that he spoke again.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Yagura Karatachi. I am the captain of this squad. I received orders to protect your safety until everything here settles down."
"Uh, hello, my name is Gaius Constantinus..."
General Gaius, while letting Hyuga Naomi wrap a bandage around his chest to stop bleeding, looked at Yagura Karatachi with surprise and doubt.
"Who are you, why are you protecting me, and what do you mean by everything here ending?"
Yagura Karatachi shook his head: "For the detailed situation, let's find a safe place to talk. You just need to know that we have no malice."
At this moment, footsteps came from behind, along with Tsuruta Daisuke's words of emotion.
"Captain, the head-on combat strength of these Awakened Beings is indeed very strong. If we hadn't teamed up, we wouldn't have been able to solve them in a short time, let alone stop it from leaving!"
Yagura Karatachi nodded after hearing this.
But before he could speak, General Gaius's slightly hoarse voice sounded again.
"So you were watching from the side all along, then why didn't you make a move earlier, at... at least you could have saved some people..."
Yagura Karatachi looked over and saw that the other party was already in tears, staring blankly at the ground full of corpses.
"Our mission is to protect you, not others."
After speaking, Yagura Karatachi looked at Hyuga Naomi: "How is it?"
Hyuga Naomi replied: "The Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill has taken effect inside the body. There is nothing serious."
"Okay, let's go!"
General Gaius was in a low mood, but he didn't act sentimental at this time. With Hyuga Naomi's support, he stood up.
At this moment, he grabbed Yagura Karatachi's arm, and the latter looked at him with doubt.
Gaius asked in a low voice: "You can bring light to this nation, right?"
Witnessing Yagura Karatachi and the others kill the Awakened Beings made hope inexplicably rise in his heart.
"No, not us." Yagura Karatachi replied faintly.
This caused the light spot that had just lit up in Gaius's eyes to dim.
Immediately after, he heard Yagura Karatachi speak again.
"It is the World Government that will bring light to this world.
"Just as it once helped our world... escape from endless mutual slaughter."
"World Government?!"
General Gaius suddenly looked up.
Ignoring the tears on his face, he looked up at the white flowers in the night sky, the bursts of golden light, and the unusually bright full moon tonight.
"This... This is..."
"That's right, the World Government has arrived."
Yagura Karatachi said no more, and taking the dazed Gaius, he vanished underground.
Only the cool night wind brushed over the faces of the soldiers who could not close their eyes.
It seemed to whisper in their ears...
Your general is safe, you protected him well, rest in peace.
At the same time.
More Awakened Beings rushed out from various corners of Rome City, surrounding and attacking the Kabaneri troops and Pure Titan warriors.
This caused the latter to also suffer a large number of casualties.
Especially the Kabaneri soldiers who had run out of ammunition belts, they could only draw the battle sabers from their backs and engage in melee combat with them.
But in terms of individual strength, they were much weaker than Awakened Beings.
They might not even be able to defeat the female warriors of the Greatsword Organization ranked in the single digits.
But no one feared or retreated because of this. The human moved with the blade, and the blade turned with the human.
Everyone was using their full strength to unleash the Breathing Style Sword Form they had diligently practiced, fighting in a chaotic mass with the Awakened Beings!
"That's about enough, it's time for us to move out."
On the An-225 transport aircraft circling in the air.
Steve Guts stood in the much emptier cabin and said in a deep voice to the twenty-eight people in front of him.
At this moment.
Including his wife Mekko.
All Kabaneri troops soldiers and Eldian unit soldiers.
They had completed their parachuting mission and were engaged in frontline combat on the ground.
Vergo's expression was calm: "Okay."
Yejian Tsukahara had a smile on his face: "We've been waiting for a long time."
Their responses dispelled Steve Guts's remaining doubt.
Among this group, only these two were worthy of his special respect, one because of their identity, the other because of their strength.
He immediately turned and walked towards the open tail cabin, letting the gale rush towards him, making his Coat of Justice, which he was proud of, flap loudly.
"It's finally starting!"
Millie, who was at the back of the team, exchanged gazes with Galatea and the others.
One could see that Tabitha, Cynthia, and Yuma were a little nervous.
It wasn't because they were afraid of the upcoming combat, but because of the parachute packs on their backs.
Although they had received temporary professional training, they hadn't been given time for experimentation.
So this was their first time parachuting, and it was a high difficulty, thousand-meter rank right from the start.
But since things had come to this, they could only bite the bullet and jump!
Not long after.
The An-225 transport aircraft flew overhead the Palatine Hill, where the Rome Imperial Palace complex was located, according to the instructions, and controlled its height and flight speed to the conditions suitable for parachuting.
"Ready."
"On behalf of all crew members, I wish you all success in combat!"
The voice of the communications member sounded from the broadcast in the cabin.
Steve Guts, Uchiha Kokuu, Urouge, Kyros, Little A, and others remained silent.
*Swish!*
Immediately, Steve Guts was the first to rush out of the cabin.
He plummeted rapidly in the night sky, the strong wind constantly pulling at his military uniform and Coat of Justice.
He didn't need a parachute, so his back was empty.
At the same time.
Others who didn't need parachutes began to display their respective abilities.
Urouge, whose body size was particularly large, flapped his even larger pure white wings behind him, his face full of smiles, flying freely in the air.
Little A, who had entered 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode', transformed into a azure electric flash, diving rapidly towards the ground below like thunder descending from the sky.
Kyros, who had activated the Imperial Arms 'Demon Armor Transformation' and was equipped with white armor and a crimson cloak, carried a silver-red intertwined long sword, breaking through layers of sound barriers and wind, transforming into a blurry afterimage.
But their destinations were different.
Because according to the plan decided beforehand.
Except for the First Squad, which would directly sneak attack the Domitian Palace where the Yoma Dragon was located.
Kyros, Yajime Hime, Roy Mustang, and a mage, who formed the Second Squad, were responsible for solving the Dragon Descendants on the east side.
Urouge, Muichiro Tokito, Solf J. Kimblee, and another mage, who formed the Third Squad, were responsible for solving the Dragon Descendants on the south side.
Little A, Balanta, Taeko, and Alex Louis Armstrong, who formed the Fourth Squad, were responsible for solving the Dragon Descendants on the west.
Finally, the Sixth Squad, consisting of Millie, Tabitha, Cynthia, and Yuma, and the Seventh Squad, consisting of Galatea, Deneve, Helen, and Audrey.
They would jointly hold back the Dragon Descendants on the north.
