From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 263 Raid on the Round Table Knights Base
As night falls, the Thames is covered with a layer of quiet night.

The river flows in the moonlight, rippling with soft silver waves.

There are dim lights on both sides of the river.

The landmark buildings on the shore and the bars and restaurants along the river complement each other, making the night here very prosperous.

A cruise ship slowly shuttled across the river where light and shadow intertwined, and the boat swayed gently.

Passengers either stood by the windows or walked in groups of two or three, enjoying the night scenery of the river bank.

On this cruise ship, there were three people with black hair and black eyes, sitting in the corner, drifting downstream with the cruise ship.

These three people are naturally Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Lin Zeyu.

The three of them took a flight in the morning and arrived in this city of the Lionheart Empire. They checked into the hotel and took a two-hour lunch break. After they had rested enough, they boarded the cruise ship and sailed down the river.

Downstream of the river, in the suburbs, there is a base of psychic mercenaries.

That is the Thames base of the Knights of the Round Table, the most powerful mercenary group in the Lionheart Empire.

As the cruise ship slowly sailed downstream, it got closer and closer to the Thames base.

At this moment.

Lu Heng's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a document sent by an iron-blooded undercover agent in the Lionheart Empire.

The most important thing in the document is a photo, a photo taken this morning.

The photo shows a psychic in his thirties with brown hair, blue eyes, deep eye sockets, and a hooked nose, looking very ferocious.

This man's name was Willy Beard, a supernatural killer found by Tiexue. After committing a crime in Daxia, he fled back to the Lionheart Empire that same day.

Therefore, Chen Linian found out the identity of this person, but he had no way to deal with him.

The extradition law is also ineffective because this person is a mercenary of the Knights of the Round Table and is backed by a powerful force, making it impossible to extradite him successfully.

Even the Lionheart Empire did not admit that this man had committed a crime.

Extradition regulations like this can only work between strong and weak countries. If it is between strong countries, the goal can only be achieved through exchange of conditions.

In the photo, the psychic named Willy Beard was still drinking and having fun. It was obvious that he had completed the assassination mission and reaped great rewards.

The information also includes the person's level, but his level is not important.

Because Willy Bird's level is only 24, which is not low among the group of psychics, but in the eyes of Lu Heng and the other two, he is just a soldier.

Therefore, as long as we find this person, we can subdue him without any difficulty.

……

At 8:12 in the evening, the cruise ship drifted to the suburban river section.

Su Muyu had been controlling the Chongming Bird to scout in the sky. After confirming the location of the Thames Base, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the river bank, saying, "It's over there, three kilometers away."

"Turn on invisibility and let's go." Lu Heng said as he jumped into the river first, entered invisible state in mid-air, walked on the waves, and ran towards the shore.

Su Muyu spread his energy wings and flew up, while Lin Zeyu shot out an energy grappling hook, hooked onto the building on the shore, and swung over.

When approaching within one kilometer of the Thames base, Lin Zeyu began to move freely, using the [Chameleon Ghillie Suit] to enter camouflage mode and find sniper points on his own.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu continued to approach the Thames base.

At this time, music was coming from the conference hall on the first floor of the base's administrative building. A dance party was being held inside, and it was a scene of singing and dancing.

A group of mercenaries were drinking and dancing, flirting with women they had captured from somewhere.

Some girls obviously couldn't dance, but they were still pulled and spun by the mercenaries.

These girls dare not resist, as order in the human world is now on the brink of collapse.

The Knights of the Round Table are the strongest mercenaries in the Lionheart Empire, and the supernatural mercenaries who can appear here are very powerful.

As long as they don't provoke the real powerful, these people are no longer bound by morality and laws.

Among these mercenaries dancing and having fun, Lu Heng saw the supernatural killer named Willy Beard.

He was dancing with an Asian girl.

The girl obviously didn't know how to dance, and kept resisting but didn't dare to act too aggressively.

This girl doesn't look like a dancer, but more like an international student.

It looked like he was forced to attend the dance.

Willy Beard put his arm around the girl's waist and pulled her toward him.

The girl resisted, but her strength was no match for that of a level 24 mutant, so there was no point in resisting.

Willy Beard leaned forward and asked for a kiss.

The girl's head kept pulling back, but she couldn't break free.

The mercenaries around were all laughing as if they were watching a good show.

Seeing that she was about to be touched, the girl stepped on him with her high heels in panic.

Willy Beard felt the pain and became furious. He grabbed the girl's hair and pushed her down on the long table. He unbuckled his belt with his other hand, pulled it out and tied the girl's neck, ready to do a beastly thing at the dance.

The girl struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The mercenaries around were watching the show, and obscene words were heard from time to time.

at this time.

A flaming arrow flew in from outside the gate, crossed a distance of a hundred meters, and pierced Willy Beard's back.

puff!
Willy Beard screamed miserably, covering his wound and looking for cover.

The other mercenaries in the hall also reacted immediately, quickly drawing their weapons and looking for the person who shot the arrow.

At this moment.

Lu Heng appeared at the door, holding the Aurora Blade in his hand. He strode forward, raised his sword and slashed down, killing the mercenary closest to the door.

The conference hall suddenly fell into chaos. The girls who were caught screamed in panic, fled in all directions, and hid behind pillars, tables and chairs.

The mercenaries in the meeting raised their guns and shot at Lu Heng.

The moment the bullet left the gun, Lu Heng activated the [Bullet Time] skill, and everything around him slowed down instantly.

Lu Heng rushed forward, weaving through the bullets, and slashed with his sword in seven steps. Each sword light would take the life of a mercenary.

In just a dozen seconds, more than thirty mercenaries in the venue were killed.

A gunfight broke out at the ball, waking up the entire Thames base. Two teams of mercenaries rushed out of the base, all armed with guns, and rushed towards the ball hall.

Just when they were still a hundred meters away from the ballroom, a loud cry was heard in the sky, and a gust of solar wind flooded down from the sky, instantly engulfing the group of mercenaries.

More than twenty mercenaries were instantly turned into charcoal by the solar wind.

The few mercenaries with defensive skills barely withstood the first wave of heat from the solar wind, but they could not withstand the subsequent continued high temperatures.

These mercenaries screamed as they rushed out from the solar wind coverage area and fell to the ground. Their bodies were already burnt and they were obviously dead.

Two of them wanted to fight back before they died, but Su Muyu raised his crossbow and shot them to death with two arrows.

……

In the ballroom.

After Lu Heng cleared out the mercenaries, he glanced at the girls and shouted, "Are you still not leaving?"

The girls finally reacted and ran out in a hurry.

Finally, only Willy Beard was left hiding under a long table.

The long table was covered with a tablecloth that hung down to the ground, so he was hiding under the table and could not be seen from the outside.

He had been hit by an arrow in the back and was seriously injured, but he was level 24 after all. As long as he could escape alive, the injury would not be fatal.

He originally wanted to fight back, but as soon as he pulled out his assault rifle, he saw that most of his mercenary colleagues around him were killed.

He immediately knew that he had encountered a top psychic, and immediately crawled under the table, trying to escape this disaster.

It’s a pity that one of Lu Heng’s targets in this raid on the Thames base was him.

As he shivered, a sword stretched out from outside the tablecloth and was placed at his neck.

Willy Bird suddenly showed a desperate expression on his face and begged for mercy: "No! Don't kill me. You can have whatever you want. I know the password of the base's warehouse. There are many crystal cores in it."

"Willy Beard, right?" Lu Heng read out his name.

"Yes... I am... No, I'm not Willy Beard." He realized that the Daxia man in front of him might be here to investigate the case, so he immediately denied it.

Lu Heng took out the photo, put it next to his head, and compared it: "Do you think I'm blind?"

Willy Beard immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Let me go, I will do anything you ask me to do."

Lu Heng asked with a cold look: "Three days ago, on August 27th, what did you do in Daxia?"

Willy Bird's pupils dilated suddenly, because August 27th was the date on which he was to carry out the assassination mission.

"That was a mission assigned by the higher-ups, not my original intention. I just did it for the money, please let me go, I can tell you who instructed me to do that." Willy Bird wanted to distance himself from the matter.

"No, I will go find him after I kill you." Lu Heng raised his sword and slashed down in front of his horrified eyes, cutting off his right hand. "Ah!" Willy Bird screamed miserably and pinched the wound on his right hand with his left hand. He was in so much pain that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Lu Heng cut off his right hand, raised his sword again, and slashed down with another sword, cutting off his left hand as well.

Then, the two legs were chopped off and the human pig was made.

Then, Lu Heng took out a card and handed it over: "Bite it."

Willy Bird had his hands and feet cut off, but he was even more afraid of death and quickly bit the card.

Lu Heng continued: "Tell your superior that I will wait for him."

After leaving these words, Lu Heng turned around and left the Thames Base with Su Muyu.

……

This matter is not over yet. Simply razing a base cannot stop the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization from stopping the assassination of the Great Xia Tempering Master.

If we want to solve this problem once and for all, we must target the strongest psychics in the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization.

So, after Lu Heng chopped Willy Beard into a human pig, he left behind some clues.

It depends on whether those Knights of the Round Table dare to come over.

Before leaving the Thames base, Lu Heng split open the base warehouse with a sword, took out the crystal core inside, then reunited with his teammates, returned to the cruise ship, and continued to tour along the river.

……

The Thames base was attacked, and the Knights of the Round Table mercenaries in the base suffered heavy casualties.

This incident immediately alarmed the bigwigs in the Knights of the Round Table.

When Mordred, the Shadow Knight of the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Group, arrived at the Thames Base, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

The entire ballroom was completely transformed into a hell.

Even though Mordred himself was very cruel, it was still a bit uncomfortable to see such a tragic scene.

Not all mercenaries in the ballroom were killed, one was left alive.

A mercenary with his hands and feet chopped off, wriggling in a pool of blood like a maggot.

Mordred didn't know this useless guy who was chopped into a human pig. There were so many subordinates in the Knights of the Round Table, and he was not interested in knowing every one of them.

When Willy Beard saw the strongest man of the Knights of the Round Table appear, he saw hope of survival in his eyes, spit out the card, and shouted with his last strength: "Save me! Save me!"

Mordred walked over, squatted down, and asked, "Who did it?"

Willy Beard now just wanted someone to send him to the hospital for treatment, but he knew very well the character of this Shadow Knight.

The questions he asked had to be answered immediately, otherwise, even if he didn't die now, he would be beaten to death soon.

He gasped and replied, "He is from Daxia, a Daxia man. He is here to seek revenge because I went to Daxia to assassinate a tempering master."

Mordred looked indifferent and continued to ask questions: "Which Daxia person? What's his name?"

"No...I don't know." Willy Bird didn't know Lu Heng's name, and a pleading expression appeared on his face.

Mordred didn't get the answer he wanted, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.

Willy Bird felt a chill in his heart and quickly added, "Card, he left the card."

Mordred picked up the card he had just spit out and took a look at it in front of his eyes.

This is a boat ticket for a sightseeing trip along the Thames River. According to the attractions written on the card, we should have arrived near Richmond Park downstream at this time.

After seeing the ticket, Mordred's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he snorted: "How dare you leave clues? You're courting death!"

Willy Beard had lost too much blood and his eyes had begun to turn black. He begged with his last bit of strength, "Save me...save me..."

Mordred looked down at him with cold eyes and said, "The Knights of the Round Table do not keep useless people."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pinched Willy Bird's head. A light blue light appeared on his palm, and in the blink of an eye, Willy Bird's source energy was sucked dry.

Willy Beard let out a final scream, his eyes shrank, and he completely lost his life.

……

Mordred came out of the Thames base, followed by a team of mercenaries.

The captain of the mercenaries stepped forward and asked, "Lord Mordred, what should we do now?"

Mordred handed the ticket to the mercenary captain and ordered: "Find the target. Kill him."

"Yes!"

The mercenary captain immediately led his troops and rushed downstream of the Thames.

……

On a cruise ship on the river.

Lu Heng and his two companions continued their tour along the river. The tourists in the protective gear had no idea what had just happened on the shore and continued to chat, laugh and take pictures.

That's when.

A team of Round Table Knights mercenaries chased to the river bank, found the ship's hull number written on the ticket, and then sent out perceivers to conduct reconnaissance on the people on the ship.

On the boat, Su Muyu said calmly: "Someone is coming, there is a sniper on the shore."

Lin Zeyu looked towards the shore with a telescope and said, "Leave this team to me."

As he spoke, he took out a grenade launcher and began to gather source energy into the launcher.

Two days ago.

Lu Heng reminded him that he could use a grenade launcher to launch the [Source Energy Fuel Explosive Bomb]. After he returned, he immediately got a grenade launcher and practiced for two days. Now was a good time to try it out.

Lin Zeyu aimed at the Round Table Knights mercenaries on the shore, condensed the [Source Energy Fuel Explosion Bomb], and then fired it out.

A ball of light shot out, crossed a distance of two hundred meters, and crashed into the group of Round Table Knights mercenaries.

Bang!
The source energy fuel-air bomb exploded, and the explosion engulfed an area with a radius of 20 meters.

This team of Round Table Knights mercenaries originally saw the ball of light appear and were ready to disperse and hide.

However, they only ran 10 meters before they felt there was no danger.

However, after the energy fuel-air bomb exploded, its coverage area far exceeded their expectations, and the entire Round Table Knights mercenaries were engulfed by the fuel-air bomb.

The high temperature of 2500 degrees burned them all over. More than half of them were killed directly by the explosion. Those who were not killed fell to the ground wailing, and then were burned into charcoal by the continuous high temperature.

An explosion occurred on the shore, and groups of Round Table mercenaries screamed and died in the flames.

There was a sudden cry of alarm on the cruise ship, and everyone began to flee in all directions and hide back in the cabins.

Some tourists even jumped into the water in panic to escape.

A single energy fuel-air bomb killed a group of mercenaries from the Knights of the Round Table.

Mordred sat in the car and his men drove along the riverside road.

Suddenly, he received a report from his subordinates and learned that the mercenary group he sent out was wiped out by a fuel-air bomb.

Mordred narrowed his eyes slightly, finally realizing that this opponent would be difficult to deal with.

He was originally not interested in taking action himself, and thought that he could send a team of men to kill the man, and then he could go back and rest.

Unexpectedly, within ten minutes, news came that all the men who were sent out were killed.

Mordred narrowed his eyes slightly, recalled the place name on the ticket just now, and said, "Go to Richmond Park."

Now he finally understood what the boat ticket left behind by the Daxia man meant.

This was the meeting he had arranged to have in Richmond Park.

At first, he didn't think that the Daxia people needed his personal help, so he ignored the information on the ticket.

Now that he finally understood what was going on, he asked his men to drive to Richmond Park.

the other side.

The cruise terminal is Richmond Park.

After Lu Heng and the other two got off the car, they entered Richmond Park and waited for the most powerful Knights of the Round Table.

In the Knights of the Round Table mercenary group, there are three most powerful knights, and the strongest one is the shadow knight named Mordred.

However, it is not certain which Knight of the Round Table will come.

After entering Richmond Park, Lu Heng asked Lin Zeyu to find a hiding place on his own.

Lin Zeyu now has the [Chameleon Ghillie Suit] and the [Bait Trap], so his self-protection ability is not weak.

As a sniper, after having the ability to hide, you need to learn to act alone.

After hiding, don't shoot easily, and once you shoot, you must kill the target.

Lu Heng did not hide, but stood openly in the most spacious open space in Richmond Park, waiting for the Knights of the Round Table to come for the appointment.
