Chapter 1407: Fighting a Bloody Road
This move is fucking amazing!
When the two men were forced naked into the house where the nuns slept, as long as the news spread immediately, even the Pope's objection would be useless.
Such a great humiliation must be dealt with no matter what.
Peace talks are no longer possible, so we can only continue the southward expedition and become a pawn of Western forces. Here, we must capture Lei Zhen, and whether to kill him or not is another matter.
Directly cut off the possibility of cooperation between the Pope and Lei Zhen, and transfer all conflicts to the Holy See. Even if the pumpkin is launched, the target can only be the Holy See.
It is obvious that the situation within the Vatican is very complicated, and some matters are not decided by the Pope alone.
This place has long been infiltrated by Western forces, which is why this situation occurred. They set up an unsolvable trap against Lei Zhen and the Pope.
"What should we do?" asked the eldest cousin.
"I have to fight my way out." Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I'm doomed."
"We'll be doomed if we fight our way out. There's no telling how many knights are out there, and how many powerful crossbows are pointed at us."
"When I say 'finished', I don't mean death. I mean my foundation on the plateau continent will collapse, which will then affect all my plans."
That’s right, being finished is not as simple as dying.
Although Lei Zhen is not completely dependent on the Warriors Base now, if it collapses, it will cause a series of serious consequences.
For example, the open plateau continent can never be taken back, and the conditions agreed with the West will be torn apart. At that time, it will be like being dumb and unable to say anything.
It's equivalent to stupidly handing over the plateau continent. Not to mention fattening the pigs and killing them, even the fucking pigpen was thrown away.
Lei Zhen has never done such a stupid thing in his life - if the market really collapses.
"Cousin, we are brothers in this life, I will accompany you." The cousin said with a smile.
"Want to hold me back?" Lei Zhen said disdainfully, "Just lie down here and wait for me to rush out and find the Pope, and then this matter will be resolved."
"Looking for him?"
"He definitely didn't do this."
It is absolutely certain that this was not ordered by the Pope, because there was no need for it.
He could choose to cooperate with Western forces and give up cooperation with Lei Zhen, but he would never do it in this way because it would be a humiliation to his ruling power if it were to be spread out.
The first thing to be faced is internal doubts, followed by external reactions.
Once it is questioned internally, its dignity and power will face unprecedented challenges, and as it is forced to become a gun in the hands of Western forces, its voice will continue to be weakened.
In the end, he was forced to abdicate and his position was taken by someone else.
Simply put, no boss would allow such a scandal to happen because it concerns dignity, and dignity determines power.
Anyone who challenges the boss will start with this.
The purpose is not to destroy the boss's dignity, but to let others see that the boss's dignity has been destroyed, so that they will become shaken in their hearts and gradually choose the stronger side.
"Cousin, can you do it?"
"Whether it works or not, we have to try. If we delay any further, it will become a big problem."
Lei Zhen grabbed two corpses, stacked them up, tied them up with clothes, and then supported them with his shoulders to make a human shield to defend against crossbows from outside.
At close range, a crossbow arrow is even more powerful than a bullet and can easily penetrate a person's body. If it is a compound bow, it is even more terrifying.
At a distance of 50 meters, it can penetrate a black bear, and if it is used to shoot people, it can penetrate two or three people without any problem.
If you use a gun to kill a black bear, take an AK for example, even if you shoot at the body, it will take at least a volley of bullets to kill it.
The bones are dense, the fur is too thick, all resin, and there is a thick layer of fat.
Fortunately, the opponent only used an ordinary crossbow, not a compound bow. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Lei Zhen was, he would not dare to go out and try it. Even if he used two corpses as shields, he would be shot through.
"Prepare--"
Lei Zhen bit a dagger, grabbed the rope that tied the meat shield tightly, and stepped on the corpse to rush out the door.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The sharp arrow flew over and pierced into the corpse.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The sound of bullets entering the body came one after another, and blood spurted out with each shot.
Several sharp arrows even pierced through the two corpses and almost pierced into Lei Zhen's body.
In a flash, the body was riddled with arrows.
But Lei Zhen had already rushed forward more than ten meters and was only more than ten meters away from the knights.
Enough, the distance is enough!
He pushed the corpse out fiercely, followed by his whole body, took the dagger out of his mouth with his right hand, and at the moment before the second round of shooting, he rolled over the corpse and arrived first.
“Swish——”
The knife flashed, and the knight in front of him had his face cut open by the knife. He covered his face with his hands while screaming.
When he was about to fall to the ground, Lei Zhen grabbed him and pushed him to the left.
"Bang!"
The second knight was hit and felt a chill on his neck before he could react. He reached out and touched it and saw blood spurting out of the aorta, burning hot.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!——”
"ah!"
"Um!"
“…”
Screams and groans accompanied the sound of the knight falling to the ground. Lei Zhen turned into a demon in the darkness, taking away one life after another with every move of his hand.
"Close combat, draw your sword!"
All the knights threw away their crossbows and drew their swords.
He reacted quickly, realizing that bows and crossbows were of little use in this situation, and that the best weapon after switching to close combat was the sword.
"laugh--"
The dagger passed through the neck of the knight captain who was giving the order, and his sword was almost pulled out, but in the end it had to remain in the scabbard.
“This, this, this…”
The knight captain covered his bleeding neck with his hands, his eyes full of horror.
It’s too fast, so fast!
He is not a human, he is a demon, a demon with only shadow!
Yes, in close combat, Lei Zhen is a devil.
The three months of hard work by the famous and prestigious families were not in vain. The resources they invested were enough to train dozens or even hundreds of masters.
He hid it with all his strength, and tucked it away with all his might. The only place he used his hidden strength was on the bed. People outside had no idea how strong he was now.
In a flash, Lei Zhen killed more than ten knights, rushed out of the encirclement in one breath, and ran away along the way he came.
"Chase!"
"Shoot!"
"What about the ones in the house?"
"No matter what, kill the myth——"
The knights left the ground full of corpses and chased Lei Zhen without hesitation, not caring about their cousin in the house at all.
Because he is a minor character, or it can be said that he is insignificant, it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not, their only target is Lei Zhen.
"Damn it, don't you treat me as a human being?"
The cousin was furious. He jumped out with a dagger in his hand and yelled at the knight behind him.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him at all. No one even bothered to turn around and release a bunch of flowers. They really didn't treat him as a human being.
So the cousin became even angrier, and regardless of everything, he picked up his crossbow and chased after them, because his heart was full of shadows: At least respect is useless, I will kill you!
