“Boom…”
Like a delayed explosion, the land swelled up a certain amount before it was finally blown away by the energy. Fiery flames rose up along with a large amount of soil, gravel and underground debris.
Under this level of attack in a confined space, the things underground are basically dead. At least according to intelligence, those things underground are unlikely to survive.
However, modern warfare also understands the importance of "finishing the attack". Not only do fighter planes repeatedly hover at an altitude of several hundred meters, but tracked military vehicles and infantry search teams are constantly approaching in the distance, and helicopters arrive even earlier.
Even though they knew that there were a large number of human believers underground, and even though many of them were ordinary people, the US military still chose to attack directly.
This has nothing to do with cruelty or not, but the military's choice of the best option between two military operations with huge cost differences: rescue and annihilation. Besides, they are all adults and have basic judgment. No one will believe that those believers are unaware that this underworld cult is problematic. Everyone should be responsible for the choices they make.
Even if they are rescued, they will eventually face trial. Those who are now underground are just being tried a little earlier, and the punishment is a little heavier.
A helicopter hovered over the forest, and the wind pressure created by the propeller caused the trees to rise and fall.
A colonel officer wearing silver-gray reflective sunglasses and a green beret was observing the funnel-shaped explosion crater below with the help of a special sniper rifle's scope.
"It's a simple matter to choose between the lives of the soldiers and those people."
The colonel was chewing gum and muttering to himself. The high temperature in the distance through the sight had not dissipated yet. Although the human military was well aware that high-level red-skinned demons had a high resistance to temperature, temperature was only a small part of the explosive power, and resistance had its limits after all. This level of energy released in a small space, thousands or tens of thousands of degrees was enough to melt something and then crystallize it.
The main search work was completed after more than half an hour, and it was finally confirmed that all targets were destroyed and there were no survivors. However, the military Korean style sprinkled a layer of sensors in the pit, preparing to conduct long-term sensing detection in the pit for a period of time.
It started to drizzle in the sky, as if nature was trying to ease the high temperature in the pit. As the rain got heavier, water began to accumulate in the pit.
In the following period of time, a lake of moderate size appeared in the forest, which became a habitat for many animals.
…
So what about the so-called strongest person in the Underworld Church, the big devil?
In fact, including that great demon, the other seven dangerous bishops are all under the sole responsibility of the Dawn Association.
There may not be many people in Dawn who can truly compete with the powerful Demon Lord, but there are definitely many strong people with potential, especially those geniuses cultivated by Qin Xiaoxia.
A feeling of being surrounded on all sides made the big devil, who smelled something, flee from Paris where he was originally staying a few days ago, fleeing to a country that was currently in chaos in a way he thought was safe.
Yes, up to now, there are still relatively chaotic areas on the earth, and there may even be more monsters hidden in those places.
Even under the current circumstances, it is still impossible for human beings to achieve true harmony.
Some relatively chaotic areas have their own set of rules. Separatist fighting has always existed, and they also reject the military intervention of advanced countries. They only accept the demon-slaying and riot-clearing troops of the World Alliance Army in the most dangerous times, and then quickly restore the original "order".
Nowadays, each human country has a lot of things to deal with at home, and there are so many places that need to be managed. Some unlucky countries that have disappeared from the map also need the care of these big countries, and they even have to plan various policies towards the other world. They themselves do not have the energy to take care of too many things, so they just accept this situation.
To be honest, by now, most of the top leaders understand one thing: monsters and evil spirits are like crimes in human society itself. They can be controlled, but it seems impossible to eliminate them under the current changes in the world.
Even in some developed cities in the core countries of the World Alliance that seem to be extremely safe, there are still analysis departments that believe that there are some monsters hidden that have not been discovered yet. Even if they are discovered and eliminated, new ones will be born.
This is an endless cycle, not to mention those lawless areas where security is poor either due to the aftermath of the Dark Tide or because of the aftermath of the Dark Tide. The people of the Dawn Association will hide behind the scenes and do the same work as they have done for thousands of years.
So the big demons and some demons from the underworld want to flee there. In fact, they have always wanted to develop in this chaotic area.
But even though there aren't a lot of cameras everywhere in that place, there aren't special department agents and ubiquitous police to make up for the scars, and the control of the governments of the World Alliance is also very low, the fact that it hasn't been completely chaotic or turned into a place where monsters from another world wreak havoc also illustrates a problem.
The Dawn Association is willing to believe in the power of various governments in the core countries of the World Alliance, and this is indeed the case. However, in the world's lawless areas, the power of Dawn will be more active, and this is also the place that demons fear the most.
Developed areas seem to be full of restrictions and inconveniences, but these rules protect both ordinary humans and the demons hidden in the corners of society, and vice versa.
But there is no way now. All countries in the World Alliance and various special departments have awakened to eradicate the cult organizations. When the monsters wake up and start paying attention to their surroundings, when the theory of the darkest place under the lamp is realized, it will definitely not be safe under the lamp.
A chaotic small country in south-central Asia has completely returned to the era of warlord separatism.
The buildings in the city are dilapidated, with traces of the previous war against monsters, and more of them are the result of conflicts among humans themselves.
I don’t know when it started, but poverty and fighting permeate the life here. There are weapons everywhere, although they are all weapons from old eras, and there is no advanced control equipment of the new era.
The extreme xenophobic ideology prevents the mainstream world from intervening, unless they are willing to fight an immoral war of conquest and spend manpower and material resources to assimilate the people here in terms of education and culture over decades.
This thankless task was done by some countries in the previous era, and the result was that they were unpopular both internally and externally.
Therefore, the chaos here still exists today, and the Dawn Association will not interfere in such issues. It seems that the internal rights disputes among humans are a forbidden zone that the association will not touch.
The great demon Gu Man is hiding in a chaotic and noisy place. Its simple, dilapidated and smoky appearance makes it more like a mixture of a bar and dance hall, so it is named with local characteristics, Happy Bar and Dance Hall.
"Dongci daci...Dongci daci...Dongdongdong..."
There were several spherical lights hanging above, and some steel pipe stages in the vast indoor space. Many people were dancing to the explosive music, and the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and sweat mixed together.
Gu Man sat in a VIP seat near the bar, along with some human backbones of the Underworld Cult and a local warlord. As for the other demons, Gu Man was afraid that their strong aura would expose him, so he didn't take them with him and let them escape on their own.
Even in his transformed human form, Gu Man's muscular body was still as exaggerated as that of two adult men.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of ice crystals from the small box on the table, crushed them, and put them in front of his nose.
"hiss……"
Dozens of grams of powder were inhaled into the nose at once, giving Gu Man an unprecedented feeling of pleasure and excitement.
It took me several days to escape here from France. Only when I arrived at this lawless area did I feel a little safe, and the oppressive feeling of the abyss seemed to be alleviated here.
The longer the ancient barbarian stays in the abyss, the more he will be corrupted by the abyss. That’s right, he believes so.
The devil is scary in many ways. Not only are there weird and powerful people, but there are also endless magical things. For example, the ice crystal substance on the table. Such a good thing is actually a controlled contraband in the mainstream world of the devil. It is quite difficult to get it, especially when the amount consumed is not small.
"My Lord, how long are we going to hide here?"
Under the dim but shining lights in the hall, the girls were dancing, and the believers sitting next to them looked anxious.
"Hahahaha, don't worry my friends, treat this place as your own home, this is my territory, you will live very comfortably!!"
While smoking a newly acquired cigar, two warlords standing beside him with AKs laughed out loud and turned around to whistle at the girl.
"Use your special powers to help me eliminate some opponents. My power will become stronger and stronger, and then everything will be easy to talk about!!!"
"Hey, you'll get your wish!"
Gu Man was now in a state of intoxication and drank up the liquor on the table.
But is it true that the demons did not discover the Great Demon's tracks and allowed it to escape here?
Outside the low-ceiling Happy Wine and Dance Hall, some warlord's men were guarding outside with guns, and everyone who entered to party would be checked.
In the distance, at the end of the crowded street, a bright light was approaching in this direction.
These are three people who are dressed in strange clothes here.
A tall man wearing exquisite silver ring-leaf armor, with blond and brown hair spreading out at the back like a lion's mane.
The other two were dressed in smart hooded bodysuits, like characters from Assassin's Creed.
"The French are making choices that are understandable, but they are ultimately putting themselves above the humans here."
A man in a gray robe looked at the neon sign with Arabic characters at the end of the street ahead and said something sarcastically.
"Okay, focus, there's a big demon in there, and I don't want it to get away!"
The short crimson cape hung behind Hilbert, making the armor look even more silvery.
“Patta…Patta…Patta…”
The three of them seemed to be walking slowly, but they were actually moving very fast.
As the footsteps approached, a gust of wind pressure was brought along, blowing up the passing dust and garbage.
The armed men outside the bar and dance hall obviously also noticed the people in front, especially the one wearing armor, who obviously did not look like a guest who came to the party.
"Stop!!! Stop right there!!!"
“Who are you??”
AKs and some miscellaneous guns were already raised, and as the three men in front approached, the armed men could already see their power, and they were definitely not like ordinary people.
"I'm warning you to stop! Even if you're an Evolved Being, if you take a bullet, you'll die!!!"
Hilbert seemed not to have heard it and continued to move forward. He reached out and grabbed a lion pendant on his chest and bowed his head to pray.
"Humanity's sins are also sins! This time, the Lionheart Family does not need to seal the demon!"
“Roar~~~~~”
The huge roar was deafening, and in this place at this night, the sound of a wild lion's roar sounded eerily.
