Chapter 378 Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the River
"Launch all the remaining Storm torpedoes!" The atmosphere on the Moniach descended into utter madness.
"But Captain—" The first mate hesitated, after all, they hadn't actually seen the Dragon King yet, and if they launched everything now, the Moniah would become nothing more than a decoration.
"Execute the order!" Professor Mans shouted sternly.
Despite being bombarded by tons of artillery shells, the Dragon Servant was still able to activate his Word of Power. If they waited until the poison was diluted by the river water and the enemy submerged, their preparations would be completely ruined.
As one of the leaders of Project Bronze, he actually knew what Kassel College's true trump card was in dealing with the Dragon King.
This is the real battlefield of the Dragon King. How could the Secret Service place their hopes on alchemical explosives that have never been tested in actual combat?
The last two remaining alchemical poison warheads and alchemical blade warheads were fired by Caesar and Chu Zihang and hit their targets.
The alchemical blade tore open countless wounds, and the Dragon Servant, overwhelmed by the barrage of artillery fire, was unable to focus on defense and was immediately overturned on the surface of the water by two storm torpedoes; the alchemical blade tore open countless wounds on the Dragon Servant's body again, and his chest was a bloody mess, with the dark golden skeleton vaguely visible.
The alchemical toxins that then exploded instantly seeped into all of the dragon servant's wounds. A mournful roar echoed across both banks, but was ultimately drowned out by the continuous roar of cannon fire.
Just as Professor Mans was staring intently at the movement on the river, the beam of the helicopter searchlight illuminated the deck of the Moniach.
As the helicopter approached, it lowered the ladder, and a tall, slender figure descended rapidly along it. He was backlit by the lights, and his meticulously styled silver hair fluttered slightly in the wind.
"Principal!" The crew members on deck quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Angers glanced at the dying dragon servant on the distant river and nodded to Professor Mans in the cabin: "Sorry, the situation has changed a bit. Anyway, arrange a speedboat. I need to confirm it in person."
"Yes, Principal!"
No one would question Angers' orders. The Moniach may be the protagonist of this Bronze Operation, but everyone knows that Angers is the true helmsman of the operation.
After the artillery fire subsided, Ye Sheng accompanied Angers in a speedboat.
"Principal." Ye Sheng couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the approaching remains of the Dragon Servant. Although parts of the Dragon Servant's body had been torn apart by the artillery fire, the remaining parts still inspired awe. He could even see the dark red heart covered with blue scales in the other's chest.
The closer Angers got, the deeper the wrinkles on his brow became. It seemed he had guessed wrong.
"EVA, where is Lu Mingfei?" Angers turned to look at the dark riverbank and asked in a deep voice.
"Sorry, signal lost, location unknown." A slightly mechanical, cold voice sounded in the earpiece.
Just then, a towering flame suddenly erupted in the downstream mountains less than five kilometers from Qutang Gorge.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Let's turn back time a little.
Just a few days ago they were chatting and laughing in the chat room, but today's meeting was like the world had turned upside down. Those molten dragon eyes, filled with burning, fiery emotions, ruined the mood of their long-awaited reunion.
Lu Mingfei stared into the burning dragon's eyes, confirming that he had not mistaken the person for someone else, and sighed helplessly.
"You're more difficult to deal with than I thought." Norton narrowed his eyes slightly; he had thought his plan was covert enough.
"Actually, I didn't notice at first either. It's just that we've played so many games together, so we have a bit of chemistry." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "By the way, Lao Tang, is this your brother?"
Lu Mingfei didn't initially expect what Lao Tang was planning to do.
It seems the opponent was hiding inside the dragon servant's stomach, using the battle with him to reach the river surface, then secretly concealing a spell, launching an attack under the dragon servant's identity, and then taking advantage of the chaos of the battlefield to escape downstream.
If he hadn't sensed the movement of the first dragon servant still alive at the bottom of the river, he probably would have been kept in the dark.
If no one had discovered that the people from Kassel College were still figuring out how to force their way into Bronze City and force Norton out, who would have thought they had already infiltrated a human city?
"It seems I underestimated you, Lu Mingfei. So, are you going to stop me?" Norton shielded Constantine behind him, and the huge bronze sword case on his back automatically opened a gap, revealing a massive horse-slaying saber in his hand.
"Wait, Old Tang, I just thought maybe we could talk." Lu Mingfei noticed the terrifying killing intent emanating from Norton and quickly waved his hand.
Old Tang can play games with him too, so why don't we sit down and talk? Or perhaps even collaborate?
Wasn't it said that Nidhogg was the unstoppable apocalypse? Then there might be room for them to cooperate.
"What's there to talk about? Wasn't this all your doing?" Norton sneered.
He was taken to Chicago after suffering amnesia, and then someone deliberately lured him back to the Three Gorges to revive his memory. Wasn't all of this in order to capture him and Constantine in one fell swoop?
He didn't know which of his brothers or sisters or the old monster was behind this scheme, but he was certain that Lu Mingfei's appearance was no coincidence.
Not to mention the strangeness about Lu Mingfei, which even he couldn't see, he wouldn't believe a word of it.
"I swear, I really didn't know." Lu Mingfei stared blankly at his former friend. "Old Tang, I just wanted to say—can you please stop attacking humans? Don't you still have a younger brother to protect? Hide away and wait for this to pass before starting over somewhere else?"
Lu Mingfei's voice grew softer and softer; how could he not know that what he was saying was utter nonsense?
The hatred between the Dragon King and humans is so deep that even the Five Sacred Mountains cannot wash it away. Even if he can persuade the Dragon King here, can he persuade all of humanity?
In the dogma of Kassel College, monsters like the Dragon King are born to take revenge on the entire world, roaring...
The dragon's blood in the world is meant to be splashed and then ignited.
But with Old Tang standing right in front of him, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Norton and Lu Mingfei locked eyes. He said nothing, a burning substance slowly flowing in his dragon eyes, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
Lu Mingfei knew that in Lao Tang's eyes he must be a complete idiot, but Lao Tang was one of the few people in the world he could call a friend.
"Ugh."
A helpless sigh, so faint it was barely audible, came from somewhere: "Brother, you're such an idiot."
If someone else had said that, Lu Mingfei would probably have given them a flick on the forehead, but this voice had been on Lu Mingfei's mind day and night for the past few days.
"Lu Mingze?" Lu Mingfei was both surprised and delighted. Sure enough, the whole world fell into a deathly silence. It was definitely Lu Mingze's entrance effect!
