Chapter 775 Retreat
"Evacuate from the Dark River and take the Untouchables with you!" Ash's voice was as calm as ever, but Nini could hear a hint of urgency in it.
Now the remaining life pool of the banshees is less than half, which means that all of them are almost in a state of serious injury, and their combat effectiveness has declined a lot compared to the beginning.
Even at their peak, they were still suppressed by Jules.
Even if the banshees can recover, there is no second Big Guy, not to mention that this is the Rhine, and the support from the Holy See will probably arrive soon.
The Banshees had no choice but to evacuate.
"Surround me, take a deep breath, and hold it!"
By the dark river, the banshees hurriedly took the untouchables away. These underground people were actually good at swimming, but far worse than the banshees. Each banshee caught many untouchables and took them away directly from the water.
There was chaos in the back, the roar of the "big guy" mixed with Jules's crazy laughter, and occasionally there was a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction.
"The big guy can't hold on any longer, we, uh..." Frey shouted anxiously, but when he looked back at the banshee, he subconsciously shrank back.
Only by standing in front of them can you feel how huge these banshees are. Frey has to jump to reach Nini's waist.
Such a powerful warrior, couldn't even defeat Yule?
"Xiaobu told me about you. Follow me." Nini hung the weapon in her hand back on the armor, stretched out her six hands to grab a group of untouchables, and jumped straight into the water with Frey.
The banshees jumped into the dark river one by one. Ash was the last one. Just as she was about to jump into the dark river, a loud noise came from behind her.
[Big Guy] had been torn into pieces of scrap metal by Jules. There was a big hole in its chest. Opposite the hole, Jules was looking over here quietly.
The choir around him had completely disappeared, and only the long white robes left on the ground were worn by the choir members before, but now they were scattered on the ground, and black pollution was slowly flowing out of them.
Ash's eyes flickered, and his hand gripping the weapon quietly tightened.
"Give my regards to Lord Hughes for me," Yule said softly.
The next moment, he suddenly raised the gun in his hand and fired!
Ash dodged to the side, then his eyes widened slightly.
One of her arms, including the thick gauntlet, was directly blown off. Yule's speed was unimaginable!
Ash gave up the idea of continuing the fight, turned around and jumped into the river. Several more bullets flew over, quickly lost kinetic energy after hitting the water, and slowly sank.
Jules walked step by step to the dark river, but Ash was no longer there.
There was a sound of collision behind him, and after a while, several priests came to Yule.
"It's not time yet, why are you coming down early?"
"Your Majesty, we heard something strange down there, so we came..."
Yule turned around and looked at the priest beside him with a cold gaze: "I said, wait until everything is over before coming down."
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty!" The priest staggered a few steps in fear and was about to say something, but Jules had already turned and left.
"Fill this cave with cement and seal it off completely."
"yes!"
Blood Harbor.
The usually orderly Blood Harbor was in a bit of chaos today. Several cargo ships bound for Castel were urgently requisitioned to transport a lot of supplies.
That night, a curfew was even enforced for the first time, and all the night watchmen were out patrolling the streets. What people didn't know was that the underground of Blood Harbor was even busier than the ground.
"Seal up the cracks here too. There are several large underground river entrances in Area K, and we need to station personnel to monitor them!"
Zoe rubbed her forehead tiredly, found an open space, sat on the ground and rested.
Ever since Monica brought back the news, the entire Blood Harbor has been in a state of emergency.
The banshees stationed in Blood Harbor and Castel were urgently recruited, and a large amount of supplies were transported to the relay node. The Crusader Army was even more prepared for battle.
Zoe was assigned to check all adjacent nodes of the sewers and underground rivers, and to calculate whether there was a possibility of attack.
In addition to the sewer maintenance workers, there was also a team of fully armed crusaders accompanying them.
"Hodge, is it really possible that the candlelight could come through the underground river?" Zoe looked around to see if there was anyone around, and secretly took off the safety helmet she was wearing. The long hair that was originally tied up in the helmet suddenly fell down.
Anyone entering the construction site is required to wear a safety helmet, especially in the sewers. This is not for protection, but mainly to prevent hitting the head.
Now that there was no one patrolling, she took it off for a while.
Hodge looked at her helplessly and sighed, "We can't rule out this possibility. If we can follow the underground river to the Rhine, they might be able to come here too. Especially since we fought the banshee this time, the Vatican might be able to track her all the way here."
Zoe thought for a moment and nodded. "That makes sense. Their [Investigators] do seem to be pretty good at tracking things down. Did you hear about that?"
"What's up?"
"That's right. Their Pope Jules can create things out of thin air and beat back two teams led by Ash." Zoe lowered her voice. "I don't know much about combat, but Ash and her team are very powerful, right?"
Hotch smiled but didn't answer directly: "What do you think of our team?"
Zoe looked over and saw that Hodge's Skitarii team was patrolling the sewers. There were more than a dozen of them, with both light and heavy firepower, and they looked very elite.
“Is that also impressive?”
"My team is a standard combat team, with one sniper, three grenadiers, two machine gunners, three assaulters, three riflemen, and one observer."
"Ten such combat teams, plus the logistics team, form a company. They can independently undertake combat missions, stand alone on the battlefield, and hold the line."
"A company, fully equipped and well coordinated, faced a fully armed Banshee head-on. Do you know what the outcome would be?"
"What?" Zoe listened with interest.
"In all the combat exercises, the Banshees have been able to wipe out entire companies without taking any damage. If it were a life-or-death fight on the real battlefield, we might be able to barely injure the Banshees."
"Is the gap so big?" Zoe was surprised.
In her imagination, the Banshee's combat power should be six people, after all, they have six hands.
"That's a huge difference. Banshees move extremely fast, making it almost impossible for us to aim at them. We can only use covering fire. Banshee armor is completely immune to light weapons damage, and heavy weapons are also difficult to penetrate."
"A full thirty men, even though they were fighting together, were defeated by Pope Jules."
