Chapter 246 The Secret Meeting of Owls (4K)

"Laurie, I am Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. There are more than 200 religious warriors here with weapons attacking the church. Next, I will use the power given by the gods to destroy them. , let me tell you in advance. On the one hand, it is so that you can arrange manpower to handle the funeral arrangements in advance, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the Shadow Bureau from sensing energy fluctuations and thinking something has happened." Cobot simply said a few words. If there is no beginning or end, then hang up the phone.

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, but after saying a few words, he found that the person on the other end had hung up the phone: "Bishop Cobot, please protect your own safety. If possible, you can leave a few alive so that we can be more convenient in the future. Negotiations at the national level can also achieve the greatest benefits..."

The group of intruders outside seemed to want to catch the church off guard. They moved silently. Although this also slowed down their movement speed, they had only just reached outside the church wall.

Through Cobot's perception, he saw that the leader was an old man with a two-handed sword on his back. This man was arranging the actions of a group of people through gestures. It seemed that he was preparing to attack from ten directions at the same time, attacking in one fell swoop. Enter the church interior.

Sensing that all members of the opponent had entered the attack range of the formation, Cobot did not rush to take action. Instead, he moved the opponent dozens of meters inward to ensure that the opponent would not escape easily.

Cobot walked into the church hall and placed his hands on the podium. As the power of faith flowed in his body, the entire formation was fully activated by him.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky. It was 11:30 in the evening, and most people in Gotham were still awake, so most of Gotham saw this unimaginable scene.

Not far from the church, you can directly see the pillar of flames that penetrates into the sky. This pillar of fire not only penetrates into the clouds, but also directly penetrates into the hearts of the citizens who see this scene. The scene is like the birth of a demon breaking through hell. It's like a flaming angel descending from the sky.

For a moment, those guys who imitated Jerome and committed imitation crimes stopped what they were doing, and even the gangsters who were fighting with each other pressed their guns to temporarily cease the fighting.

Although people in the distance could not directly see the pillar of fire rising into the sky, the sky dyed red by the flames caught their eyes.

So I immediately went to various search engines to search for what happened. Naturally, there were many good people who broadcast live or uploaded information. These people also learned about the major events in Gotham the next time.

Many of these people were not afraid of death, or were high and had bad brains. They headed towards the place where the flames rose, wanting to see with their own eyes what was going on.

Unlike those Gothamites observing from a distance, these two hundred soldiers of the Order of Saint Dumas felt the terrifying heat.

At the first moment, they felt the heat wave hitting their faces. In just a moment, they felt that their cheeks were roasted hot and dry.

His eyes were burned by the blazing flames, dry and astringent, and he had to look away and look at the leader of his team.

As for this posture, Man said that these fighters, even the elders of the sect, felt unbelievable.

This kind of power can only be produced by a peerless demon. This group of people can never match it. What they have to consider now is not how to complete the task, but how many people can escape.

And the flames, without leaving much time for them to think, quickly spread to the front of these holy warriors. All kinds of holy objects on their bodies were aroused one after another, and all kinds of protective powers exploded.

However, under this terrifying flame, all protections are like soap bubbles, which will burst with the slightest touch.

However, these protections played a certain role, greatly reducing the killing effect that Cobot originally thought. In the end, 30 people ran out of the flames.

You must know that when Copot was preset, this formation was a powerful protective barrier. It was the last defensive position after being beaten home. Therefore, this formation consumes a lot of money, even if the cult has been saving up for a long time. The power of faith in him has barely been stimulated just once, and even if he wants to stimulate it again, he still needs to praise the power of faith in the first half of the year.

Although this tyrannical flame gradually extinguished without the power of faith, the 30 people who escaped from the opposite side did not feel comfortable. Not to mention the injuries on their bodies, they also carried various sacred objects. Almost all of it was consumed in the run just now.

Therefore, even if the flames were extinguished, these 30 people did not dare to look back at the church. They all fled out with their heads downcast, for fear that Cobot and the others would use some unexpected means again.

In this case, the few tens of meters that Cobot had released before were only important for 10 minutes. Although the flame formation could not be activated, there were other abilities that could be used.

With the flow of Cobot's power to change his faith, the formation changed again. The ground outside the church also changed rapidly under the influence of the formation. The previously hard ground quickly softened and liquefied, forming a circular swamp area. , surrounding the entire church in the middle.

And those thirty fighters, although they are all rare professionals, are inevitably out of balance under this kind of escape. Although most of them crossed the swamp with mutual help, four of them fell behind and completely fell behind. buried in the swamp.

Cobot did not choose to kill them all. On the one hand, there were too few people in the cult who could really take action. If they chased them, they might be killed. On the other hand, there was no formation in the church and no accumulated power of faith. , the power that Cobot can exert will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after trapping four warriors in the swamp, he immediately changed his formation and focused a large amount of power of faith on the four warriors, quickly controlling them and preventing them from committing suicide.

Although the will of these warriors is very firm and they have obviously received special training for their opponents, with the support of huge faith, Cobot's magic finally broke the will of several people and destroyed them from within. He was imprisoned there.

However, when Cobot asked about each other's origins through magic, the four people on the opposite side seemed to have been stimulated by something, and exploded directly on the spot. A ball of silver-white fire broke out from the bodies of the four people, burning them all into pieces. of ashes.

Although this move prevented Cobot from continuing to ask questions, it also successfully exposed their identities. They must be from the Holy See, but they don't know which group the props belong to.

So Cobot gave up on his idea of ​​finding out who was behind the scenes, and left it all to the FBI who came quickly after receiving Cobot's call.

Originally, Bruce was quite critical of Cobot's approach of directly killing the opponent. However, after the FBI cleared the ground, they counted the equipment brought by the opponent. If the equipment of these 200 people was really used by the opponent, it would be so Let's talk about it, we can start a small war with thousands of GCPD.

That is to say, Coppert made the first move, and when the opponent did not launch an attack, he directly frightened the opponent's sneak attack. Otherwise, dozens of rockets exploded on the church at the same time, and the entire formation might be directly blown to pieces by the opponent.At that time, even if any one falls into the church, the consequences will be disastrous. After all, Cobot and others are still mortal bodies.

This discovery made Bruce doubt his own thoughts. Is he too holy? For such an obviously malicious army, he wants to be merciful and not hurt the other party's life.

Seeing that Bruce looked wrong, Cobot thought it was because of the psychological shadow caused by the pile of corpses of more than a hundred people, so he asked about it and prepared to enlighten him.

As a result, I got such an idea from the other party. To be honest, Copot was envious at the first time. He was envious that Bruce was so well protected by the Waynes. As one of the top dignitaries in Gotham, he still lived in Gotham. After more than ten years, I still have such naive thoughts.

So Cobot looked at Bruce with a strange expression: "If you think so, then practice hard. If you can subdue everyone on the other side before they take action, then you can save the other side's life. ..."

……

At the same time, there was an intimate tea room inside a private club in Jersey City.

Four men and women wearing white masks were holding a secret private meeting.

If Bruce were here, he would find that the masks on each of their faces are indeed owls. This is the Court of Owls that he has been tracking!
However, there were only four people present, so it was obviously not a large-scale meeting, but a high-level secret meeting.

"In the past year, the situation in Gotham has been a bit chaotic, and the control of our courts has also declined rapidly." A fat man said with emotion.

A middle-aged woman with red eyes said: "There is no way, too many things have happened during this period, not only the forces on the surface, but also the underworld has changed."

"Sigh~ There is nothing we can do about it. Falcone is almost eighty, and his control over the Falcone family is also rapidly eroding. Nickfield and Fish rebelled one after another, and even the old Italian faction did not support it. He did.

In this way, not only can he not provide help to the court, but he even needs the court to wipe his ass behind. Then they can only wait for them to fight for another underworld emperor. This is something we have actually learned in the past few years. It was expected that it would have an impact on the court because everything came together. "A tall and thin old man said.

The old lady said in a deep voice: "I won't talk about his affairs. After all, we have predicted it before. Today's topics are mainly three points: first, Cobot; second, Jerome and Galavanna. The source of chaos in the group; third, many members have died, and we need to select a new group of members."

The fat man thought for a while: "I think everyone has collected information about Cobot. He truly has extraordinary power and can promote it in large quantities. This is exactly what we need.

Moreover, the religious order he has established now has reached a large scale. Whether we want to absorb him into our ranks, we must know that he is the heir of the Cobot family and complies with our recruitment criteria. "

The red-eyed middle-aged woman nodded: "I also agree, his power is real, our sharp claws still have some problems, we can't obtain the immortality as recorded in the records, although we have a body far beyond ordinary people Quality, but for us its effect is only average.

But if the claws can be given greater supernatural power, then our court's rule over Gotham will be more stable. "

The old man shook his head: "No, I object.

Our cultivation of sharp claws mainly relies on alchemical potions. Hugo Strange has just taken over. We need to give him a little more time. After all, we have the formula. As long as we follow the steps, we will definitely be able to cultivate new claws. .

Although Cobot is the heir to the four major families, the key is that he is too powerful and has faith in God. Once he is allowed to join the court, the position of ordinary members will definitely not be satisfied with him. Let him become an ordinary high-level person like us.

I have no objection to this, and I don’t care where his power lies, but the key is that we don’t know whether he will want to directly control the court and in turn bring the court under his control?
My suggestion is to include him as a key subject for investigation, mainly to observe his character and ambition, and then invite him after ensuring that it is harmless. "

Seeing the other two people nodding in agreement, the old lady simply said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Arrange for people to observe without attracting attention. Be careful not to arouse the other party's resentment. Let's move on to the next topic."

The fat man said: "As I said before, Falcone's control over the underworld has declined. Although he still obeys our arrangements and is searching for Jerome with all his strength, the people below are now scapegoating his arrangements. , and there is no substantial progress, should we secretly fund that person and help him control the Gotham underworld?"

The old lady shook her head: "That's not necessary. Our court should not expose itself because of such things. Moreover, helping them rise to power with such purpose will make our court appear to be begging others and lower its value."

The old man asked: "What's going on with Theo Galavan?"

The other two people also looked at the old lady, because the news that Galavan might be the mastermind came from her.

"Daniel Truman has returned to Gotham. Do you know about this?" The old lady said another thing.

The three of them can be said to have absolute control over Gotham, so they naturally know this information.

"He is about to be transferred to the tax bureau as deputy secretary, and Truman has a distinguished family background. His father, Truman Sr., has been serving the court for decades without complaint. According to our past operating principles, we should recruit the younger Truman as soon as possible."

None of the three objected to this.
