Chapter 360 Resign
“Ahhh!” “Wow!”
As soon as Tie Zha rushed out of the pit, he saw two men lying on the ground, emitting green smoke. Soon after, more than ten figures appeared between the broken walls. Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Tie Zha immediately took off the flash bomb hanging in front of his chest, bit on the tab, and smashed it out with a ding sound.
“Peng …”
The person who rushed over just now only saw a flash of white light and could not see anything. At the same time that he threw out the flash bomb, Tie Zha turned around and ran. As he ran, he ejected six knuckles from his back and crawled through the ruins with his hands and feet.
“Chase!” A few seconds later, the Scarecrow, who had recovered from his blindness, shouted loudly. At the same time, he tightened his back. His two limbs immediately broke through his clothes and spread out into two pairs of membrane wings. With a buzz, he flapped his membrane wings and flew towards the fleeing prey. At the same time, the two men spread out their membrane wings and chased after him, one on the left and one on the right.
During the intense exercise, Tie Zha’s wound was torn open again. The bright red blood immediately dyed the clean bandage red. However, before he could care about the pain of the wound, he heard the buzzing sound of the membrane wings flapping behind him. He immediately frowned, crawled forward, pulled out his pistol, and shot backwards.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
In an instant, the man on the left stopped and spat out blood as he flew back.
“Kill him!” Seeing his companion fall, the Scarecrow shouted loudly. The man on the right immediately raised his assault rifle and swept a shuttle bullet over.
“Dingdangdang … Dingdangdang …”
In the next second, more than ten bullets scratched the air and rushed out, causing sparks to appear all over Tie Zha’s body, but he was unharmed, not even pausing for a moment. Normal gunpowder bullets were useless in front of the sharp-edged carapace. Only large-caliber sniper bullets like the red silk armor piercing bullet could pierce through his defense.
“Stop wasting bullets!” Seeing this, the Scarecrow hurriedly stopped his subordinates from continuing shooting. In resource-poor southern cemeteries, every bullet is precious. Afterwards, Tie Zha quickly escaped from the ground, and the two of them chased after each other in the air.
“He’s injured. He’s exhausted.” A few minutes later, the Scarecrow saw through Tie Zha’s injuries and issued another order.
After escaping for about ten minutes, Tie Zha’s blood was flowing more and more, and his body was getting weaker and weaker. The two flying insecticides behind him followed closely, maintaining a distance of more than a hundred meters from him. They were unable to shake off and exceeded the effective range of Merlin’s revolver.
After running for a while, a collapsed building suddenly appeared in front of him, and Tie Zha immediately climbed in. The surroundings were dim and it was impossible to see what was happening inside. Tie Zha raised his hand and a white light shot out from his wristwatch, illuminating the area in front of him.
With a glance, it was an arched space of fifty to sixty square meters, surrounded by rags and white animal skeletons. The smell of rotting flesh permeated the air, making it somewhat unpleasant to smell. After entering, Tie Zha immediately retracted his knuckles, pulled out his machete with one hand, pulled out his Merlin’s left wheel with the other, and hid behind the stone at the entrance.
“Ding-dang-dang …”
Not long after, the sound of metal rolling came from far to near. Tie Zha’s pupils constricted and he immediately rushed out. Just as he had expected, an oval-shaped explosive thunder was slowly rolling towards him. He immediately kicked the explosive grenade back.
At this moment, the Scarecrow and a man were hiding at the door and looking inside.
“Ding dang dang dang” However, they did not wait for the expected explosion. Instead, they watched helplessly as the grenade that had just been thrown in rolled back …
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a flash of fire followed by a loud explosion sent both of them flying. However, they quickly climbed up with green smoke all over their bodies. A red carapace covered in black spots appeared on their bodies. It was a worm-like carapace similar to Tie Zha’s, but its color, hardness, and coverage were different. Their carapaces are common ladybug carapaces, while Tie Zha’s are rare cuckoo carapaces. There was a gap in hardness and coverage between the two. In addition, Tie Zha’s carapace had mutated into articular villi and spikes. The difference in protection was even greater.
As soon as the two of them stabilized their bodies, Tie Zha rushed out and slashed at them head-on!
Clang!
With a loud noise, a bone spike shot out from the scarecrow’s elbow, blocking Tie Zha’s lightning strike.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The moment the machete was opened, Tie Zha raised his left hand and pulled the trigger continuously, sending the man flying from the side. After firing five rounds, Tie Zha didn’t stop for a moment. He jumped backwards and flew away before the Scarecrow could react. He was too heavily injured and exhausted, so he could only retreat if he could not guarantee that he would be able to kill the opponent.
The Scarecrow cursed as he looked at Tie Zha, who was quickly escaping his sight. He was about to flap his membrane wings, but the sound of an air leak came from behind him. As a result, he turned around and saw that the membrane wings were already riddled with holes from the explosive grenades and could no longer fly. He had no choice but to stop. When the follow-up personnel arrived, he gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and shouted, “Continue chasing. I don’t believe he can run far.”
Next, they slowed down and chased after the little man.
After running for a few kilometers, the extremely weak Tie Zha suddenly fell to the ground without paying attention and tripped over the rocks.
He got up, shook his head hard, took out a steroid stimulant from his backpack, and gave himself an injection. Although he was going to face a weaker drug sequelae later, he couldn’t care less about it now.
After taking the stimulant, he recovered some of his energy and continued to flee.
After an unknown amount of time …
In his red vision, the surrounding scenery became increasingly blurry. Suddenly, he felt a burning pain coming from his lungs. He immediately stopped and looked left and right.
White mist filled the surroundings, and the visibility was only twenty to thirty meters. Compared to the place just now, the distribution of black moss here is more dense, and the accompanying fungi plants are more. Looking around, clusters of indescribable mushrooms were emitting a miserable green glow, seemingly extremely seeping. He quickly understood that he had entered the high radiation zone. However, at this moment, he had no other choice but to brave the scalp and continue forward …
About half an hour later, the Scarecrow brought his men to the edge. The Scarecrow sighed and waved his hand as he looked at the scorched city ruins and the dense fog in front of him. “Forget it, it’s a tough stubble. It won’t do much good to catch up.” After saying that, he left with his men.
At the same time, Tie Zha walked through the fog and quickly lost his way. His breathing became heavier and heavier, the effects of the stimulants gradually faded, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Not long after, he found a crack in a pile of rocks where he could hide and drilled into it. But as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep before he could deal with the cracked wound …
A few days later, on the eve of Dr. 3713-12-20, a piece of news about the Temple caused a sensation throughout Silver City.
The front page headline of the Silver City Daily shockingly read:
“The lightning hammer is missing, and the Wilderness Knight is missing for some reason. What is the connection?”
Afterwards, various famous newspapers and magazines also reported on it one after another.
Western Weekly
“About the loss of the lightning hammer …”
The First Post
“Be vigilant against enemies hiding in the darkness …”
Le Monde Shang Bao
“About the possibility of a revival of a faith and its impact on world stock prices …”
Although the content of the news was vague and unclear, anyone could tell that it was aimed directly at the current Temple Princess, Youge Lombar.
The next day, at the council of elders of the Temple, You Ge took off the crown with golden threads and a jewel pendant. He placed down the Holy Sword, the Holy Shield, and the Holy Cross on the platform. Then, he requested the elders to resign as Commander-in-Chief of the Dawn Expeditionary Force and voluntarily relinquish the title of Princess of the Temple.
You Ge calmly said, “Because of my mistake, I lost the lightning hammer and damaged the reputation of the Temple. For this reason, I will take the blame and resign …”
“What a big deal. It’s just a small broken hammer. If you lose it, you lose it. If you want to resign, Old Bruno will be the first to disagree!” Before he could finish, Leo Bruno stood up and said emotionally.
“The lightning hammer is just an ornament, but it’s useless …” “Take a step back, even if you lose it, it’s still from your grandfather’s family. Other than Old Mordleton, you don’t need to explain it to anyone else.” Old Grisham and Old Kreemans stood up and agreed. They were all veteran nobles of the Western Continent, so they naturally hugged each other and unconditionally supported You Ge.
However, the opposition soon emerged.
“Thunderhammer is a symbol of glorious faith. We must find it.” The Perkin Clan Elder stood up and said.
“I agree with Elder Perkin. If the brilliant remnants of the sins take back their symbols, perhaps they will unite again.” The elder of the Lamu Clan echoed. Both of them were veteran nobles from the central continent, so they naturally supported each other. However, apart from the two of them, the other great nobles of the Central Continent did not express their stance. After all, enemies with the Western nobles led by the Modleton Clan would cause the world to be in turmoil.
Among the eleven great nobles of the world, Mordleton, Lombar, Gresham, Kremans, and Bruno were collectively known as the great nobles of the West. Their symbols were respectively the red dragon, the bauhinia, the grey sparrow, the big whale, and the horseshoe; Orlando, Julian, Solo, Ram and Perkin were collectively known as the Great Nobility of the Central Region. Their symbols were the banyan tree, the elk, the anvil, the giant ape and the electric eel; As for the last one, it was Reinhart, known as the new great noble, whose symbol was the golden lion.
At present, the western aristocrats and the central aristocrats are divided on the issue of insecticides. The Grand Nobles of the Central Region wanted to form the Bug Legion and use Jack to control it, but the Grand Nobles of the West voted against it year after year.
The Western Great Nobility Clan was the actual owner of the Temple. If the Temple was compared to a company, the Western Great Nobility Clan would be the majority shareholder, the Central Great Nobility Clan would be the minority shareholder, and the Pope would be the CEO. This was because the Western Continent was the richest, and most of the land was controlled by the nobles, so their foundations were very deep. Not only was the land in the central continent not fertile enough, more than half of the land was in the hands of nobles or various forces in small and medium-sized territories. The political situation was extremely complicated. Without the support of the great nobles of the West, they would not be able to launch the plan unilaterally.
Therefore, they would use the lightning hammer to make a fuss, in order to obtain political concessions from the nobles of the West. However, they only asked for the Thunderhammer back and did not ask for the replacement of the Divine Arbitrator, which was tantamount to a disguised expression of their desire to retain the Thunderhammer. However, in the face of their tolerance, You Ge is not grateful at all.
She nodded slightly and insisted, “I have been tempted by the Demon Heart. I can no longer be the spokesperson for the True God. If possible, please allow me to step down and return to an ordinary follower of the True God.”
“Cousin You Ge, please think carefully. We need you.” William Reinhart stood up and said. You Ge is the strongest Origin Energy practitioner in history. If you lose her, the temple’s future will be dimmed.
“I don’t agree!” Leo Bruno roared angrily, “Unless I die!”
“Grandpa Bruno, I…” You Ge paused for a moment, Looking around, Finally, she closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind, He said slowly, “I loved the last brilliant remnant, and he was also an insecticide. He tricked the lightning hammer out of my hand and abandoned me. I think … you all should know his name …” You Ge looks elsewhere, as if he doesn’t want her tears to be seen. “I’m ashamed of my innocence and foolishness. As a princess of the Temple, I’m tempted by an insect. I don’t think I have the qualifications to stand here and become the future leader of the Temple anymore …”
You Ge’s monologue caused the entire audience to fall into a long period of silence. After an unknown period of time, the Perkin Clan’s elder slowly stood up and said earnestly, “My princess, please don’t blame yourself for my pride. Everyone has their own youth. This is only the price of growth, and no one can avoid it …”
“My child, you’re not wrong. What’s wrong is those damned brilliant remnants. In this matter, you are the victim and should not be blamed at all.” The elder of the Lamu Clan stood up and consoled him.
Originally, they thought that You Ge was just taking retreat as a way to shirk her responsibility, but they didn’t expect that she was determined to leave, and she didn’t hesitate to expose her own blemishes and tell them the whole story. However, the loss of the Temple Princess was a loss that no power within the Temple could afford. These clans that had inherited for a thousand years were still very clear on the major issues of right and wrong, and on the choice of short-term and long-term interests.
“Failure and frustration are also part of learning. Through this matter, our successors can experience the evil nature of the glorious remnants and insectivators. I believe that in the days to come, her faith will become even more firm and will lead us to light and victory in the Temple.” Then, the Orlando elders made a statement.
“Poor child …” “Stupid bug-transformers …” The Julian Clan Elder and the Solo Clan Elder also stood up and echoed.
Not long after, the elders of the various major powers all stood up and expressed their positions. They were filled with righteous indignation and were about to bring people to the southern cemetery to slaughter the city. Finally, the Temple Princess was persuaded by the elders to put on her crown again and withdraw her sword, shield, and cross.
“Thank you for your trust, grandparents. You Ge will definitely do everything in his power to purify all evil in the world with the glory of the True God.” You Ge raises his sword to swear an oath, and then a warm applause rang out below. When she sheathed her sword, she added, “If there’s any news about Thunderhammer or Wilderness Knights in the papers tomorrow, I’ll go on strike.”
The next day …
The headlines of the famous newspapers and periodicals:
Silver City Daily
“Little Heavenly Maiden Hong Huihui died suddenly at home. Did she commit suicide? Or was she murdered?”
Western Weekly
“Shocking explosion! Little Heavenly Maiden, who just made her debut, actually died in the bathtub of her residence …”
The First Post
‘”A celebrity died naked in his home with torn clothes scattered around the bathtub. The corpse’s eyes were filled with pain and despair. According to the police, the likelihood of suicide is extremely low …”
Le Monde Shang Bao
“Inspector Jim refused to answer questions about the merits of the case. Is there any secret behind it?”
In an instant, the streets and alleys of Silver City were buzzing with discussions about the strange death of Little Heavenly Maiden. Thunderhammer and the Wilderness Knights quickly faded out of sight.
There were eight more booking yesterday. Although the revolutionary journey was slowly getting longer, it still needed to be done
