Chapter 248
Perhaps.
Gandovich was keenly aware of something.
After Petar confessed the way to enter the wizard island, the cultists entrenched in the Golden Harbor carried a large amount of looted supplies and gold when the sun was fully up. Within a few hours, they completely Evacuate.
Three hours later.
7:40 in the morning on December 29.
The freezing rain has stopped.
Cold and humid mist filled the sky over the Golden Harbor.
The imperial army and the hunting regiment began to station in large numbers, bringing the entire city into a strict military management area to prevent the outlaws from profiting from somebody's misfortune and causing second riots during the chaotic period.
More than 700 Golden Harbor citizens rescued by Cole, along with other survivors, and rescuers who came afterwards, were drove to the temporary shelter by car.
At this time.
Beside a pile of ruins on Victoria Avenue.
Cole put one hand in the pocket of his coat, sitting alone on the ruined wall, frowning, his feet full of cigarette butts.
Not long.
The footsteps of the battallion soldiers trotting and the roar of the truck engine sounded at the end of the street.
Until the pale-yellow lights pass through the mist.
The officer in charge of the team and the demon-hunter jumped out of the cockpit of the truck.
His gaze fell on Victoria Avenue where the corpses were all over, looked at each other, looked towards the man sitting on the ruins not far away.
They all saw shock in each other's eyes.
Behind them is a Cole's old acquaintance, a female reporter Amelia disguised as a soldier.
Keen on the hot news, she was immediately understood to make her jump out of the truck, she found a perfect position, raised the camera, and pressed the shutter continuously.
But this kind of action seems to violate a certain rule in the military.
The officer frowned, waved his right hand, and there were two soldiers, one on the left and the right, standing up the female reporter, regardless of her loud protest, and quickly walked away.
"He is the demon-hunter you mentioned?"
"Let the soldiers check the situation all around first, that guy...I'll deal with it."
Similar to the evil name of Cole well known.
He is extremely difficult to get along with and has a cold personality, and he is also famous in the Demon Hunting Group.
Use the original words that Chaz Morgan warned him: When you see Cole, don't point fingers at him, don't ask if you shouldn't, don't care if you shouldn't, just do your own thing.
Although the demon-hunter acting with this army platoon has the title of high-level plundering sequence, contact with Cole still makes him a little nervous.
As if.
The man sitting there is not a newcomer who was promoted to the predatory sequence only a week ago, but a great character of Judgement Echelon who has no authority to direct the council.
In a sense.
I came into contact with two cases of Saint Artifact in one breath. In the Demon Hunter squad, many voices believed that Cole Walker should belong to Judgement Echelon, and no matter how bad it is, it should be a slaughter sequence.
It's just that.
Bureaucratic matters involve party struggles between power and factions. In many cases, the promotion of a demon-hunter only occupies part of the assessment requirements.
There are eight directors in the Demon Hunting Group.
Baluch is the youngest among them, but the power is also the weakest. Cole Walker's promotion path encountered some setbacks. As far as many senior demon-hunter are concerned, he doesn’t feel Strange,
And, according to some unreliable rumors, that guy Cole seems not interested in power...
Think of this.
demon-hunter took a deep breath, stepped, straddling the corpse on the street, the soles of shoes were splashed with muddy blood, walked over and stretched out the right hand, and said, "Special Investigation Division, Captain of Night Owl, Mo Isis Ramon.
Are you Cole Walker?"
Speaking.
No response at all.
The hand froze in the air. After a long time, he took it back in embarrassment. In my heart, Director Morgan was right. This guy is not easy to get along with.
There was silence for a while, and then he said, "Your Excellency Baruch asked me to come to you."
At this time.
Cole lifts the head.
The face is covered with dry blood, and the cruel eyes are just looking at each other, which is breathtaking.
It's like being perceived by something terrifying.
Throwing away the cigarette butts, Cole's voice was a little hoarse, jumped out of the ruins, and said, "How is it in Galway?"
The two went to the truck. As he walked, Moises said, "After receiving the news, although the Demon Hunter and the Imperial Army immediately took over the entire city within two hours, the time was still too late.
According to the report of the Mysterious Studies Institute, after Petar gave out the location of the wizard island, Gondowicz should immediately noticed it.
So..."
Cole takes off The cold and damp coat was thrown into the real dream equipment warehouse, frowned, "After all that, the situation in Galway is the same as the Golden Port?"
"It's not exactly the same, it may be because of the day. , There are no ghosts that are not afraid of silver bullets...well, the Institute of Mystery thinks they are some kind of degraded vampire.
The only place that the Nordic Order actually controls is Galvesi. , I heard that a great character of Judgement Echelon was forcibly recalled. When I arrived, the situation there was not too bad."
Parking in front of the truck, Moises continued, "Your Excellency Baruch asked you to go back to Imperial Capital first. Whether you are allowed to continue to participate in this matter will still need to be evaluated by the Risk Committee.
Cole.
Now you are still Very young and there is a lot of room for growth. If you die in this case, it will be a huge loss to the empire, to the Demon Hunter and Lord Baruch."
Cole no Reply.
Handed the cigarette case to him, "Do you smoke?"
Moises reached out and took out one.
After the clear sound of the lighter ended, Cole was about to respond to Balluch’s arrangement, but saw a female demon-hunter wearing a gray trench coat, wearing headphones and carrying an old-fashioned Telegraph. , Hurried to their side.
The gasping for breath handed the note to Moises, "Ramon Captain! The telegram just sent from the headquarters of the Demon Hunter...let's...let's find a radio, Listen to what's currently being broadcast on the Voice of Empire channel."
"Radio?"
Moises frowned, let Cole and his subordinates wait here, holding the note I found the officer in Platoon. Not long after, the officer and him took a radio that the soldiers found in the houses and ran all the way to the truck.
Fortunately, the radio consumes batteries and does not need to be plugged in.
After some debugging.
Sounds with heavy interference noise came from the speakers of the radio.
Moises gently turned the channel's control knob, frowned, "Gondović's voice...what does he want to do?"
"(current noise).. ...With his life in exchange for 100,000 imperial citizens... (current noise) I am Gondović Nord, let Cole Walker bring the key to see me in Galway City Plaza, With his life, in exchange for the safety of 100,000 imperial citizens..."
The same passage was played repeatedly.
Heard here.
Moises hurriedly turned off the radio. However, the soldiers standing nearby turned their eyes to Cole, whispering to each other with complicated eyes.
Even the officer fell silent.
His eyes fell on Cole.
Seeing this situation, the demon-hunter hurriedly pulled Cole onto the other side of the truck, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said with an extremely solemn expression, "Cole, listen to me, it must be Another conspiracy of Gondović.
He just wanted to use this kind of moral kidnapping method to kill you!
Listen to me, no matter how many hostages he holds, We all have to return to Imperial Capital first, and then we are discussing the long term, do you understand?"
