Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!
Chapter 21 Rebels Guard the Country's Gate!
"hiss--"
The agents of the United Front stared at the hellish six-pointed star on the map, their faces extremely grim.
Even the usually composed Ada had lost her elegance and composure, her eyes filled with an undisguised seriousness.
The last time the gates of hell opened on British soil was sixteen years ago.
The long passage of time has not diminished people's fear, because the last Hellgate incident occurred in Liverpool, 200 kilometers away from Manchester.
Most of the United Front agents present had experienced that incident when they were children.
They remembered that day, when the west was filled with a red glow that covered half the sky. In the following days, countless airships flew westward, and large numbers of troops marched toward Liverpool.
But seven days later, what was once Liverpool land was now just the sea.
A landmass of over fifty square miles was swallowed by the Dark Sea, and Manchester, which was originally not on the coast, became a port city.
It is said that only one person escaped from the entire city, while the other nearly one million citizens all fell into hell.
Even though there have been several Hellgate incidents in British history, words can never capture the profound impact of firsthand experience.
But now, Hex says that the Gates of Hell is about to erupt in Manchester. The Advent cult has been secretly planning this for years, laying down this giant six-pointed star of hell to drag the entire city into hell.
This undoubtedly reminded them of that time, and a sense of fear and unease began to spread.
"Executive, shall we retreat?" A middle-aged agent looked at Ada and whispered.
After a moment of silence, Ada forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her eyes regaining their sharpness. "If you're going to retreat, you need to know how to retreat."
As one of the twenty-two executives of the United Front, she has always possessed a decisiveness and courage far beyond that of ordinary people, and once she makes a decision, she will not hesitate for a moment.
"Benev." Ada's voice was cold and firm, without the slightest hesitation.
"Immediately notify the core organization to evacuate Manchester; there is no time to lose."
"Are you sure?" Benev's face was full of shock and confusion, and he subconsciously retorted.
"Are they all leaving?"
"We haven't verified the information yet; what if it's just a misjudgment..."
"Once the information is confirmed, it will be too late," Ada interrupted him, her tone firm and unwavering.
"Haven't Liverpool's lessons been devastating enough? We can't afford to gamble, and we shouldn't gamble."
Benev opened his mouth, but ultimately kept it closed. He understood the executive officer's character; once he made a decision, he wouldn't change it.
"Executive Officer," the intelligence officer hesitated before finally speaking.
"If we evacuate hastily now, we will suffer heavy losses."
"There was simply no time to transfer all the research data and experimental equipment."
"It's such a waste that we have to discard it."
"No matter how great the loss of materials, it cannot compare to the loss of people." Ada's eyes swept over the crowd. "As long as people are alive, the foundation remains."
"Prioritize evacuating people."
"Everything else can be temporarily abandoned."
"Okay, I understand!" Benev nodded emphatically and immediately turned around to prepare to issue the evacuation order.
"Benev, you don't need to worry about anything else," Ada called out to him again.
"But the evacuation of Frankenstein Laboratory must be prioritized."
"It is imperative to take away the core personnel, research data, and G-based reagent."
"It must not fall into the hands of the Adventists or the Church."
After saying that, Ada looked down at her pocket watch. Time was ticking away, and every moment was crucial.
"You have two hours."
"At 6 p.m., immediately lead your elite action team to meet me."
She walked back to the map, her gaze falling on the vast area of the lower city, where thick smoke lingered all day, and she tapped it heavily with her fingertip.
United Textile Factory.
Hex looked at her, puzzled. "Miss Ada, what are you planning to do?"
Hex revealed the intelligence mainly to discourage the United Front and force them to retreat early, so that he could board this big ship and go with them.
To prevent him from having to find another way to get a pass.
Once we leave Manchester, we'll consider how to break free from the United Front.
However, judging from Ada's appearance, she wouldn't be thinking of...
"The disaster hasn't happened yet," Ada said. "We have a chance to stop it all."
"The gates of hell must not be opened!"
"Huh?" Hextech looked horrified, as if he hadn't heard clearly.
No, is this something your united front should be saying?!
You are not the biggest reactionary force; you should use this incident to seize greater power, shake the rule of the church, and undermine the credibility of the royal government.
Is silently protecting Manchester really what you're supposed to be doing?
What's this? Rebels guarding the country's gates.
"You're a united front, not a cabinet government or a church!" Hex couldn't help but retort.
"This is an important base for us," Ada said. "It's also our home."
"You don't need a reason to protect your home."
These words brought an overwhelming surge of emotion to Grace's eyes.
"Miss Ada, I misunderstood you before. You are good people." Grace was very moved.
Upon hearing her sister's words, Emily's face turned ashen, as if she had swallowed a fly.
During this period, she has been tormented by the United Front.
How did they become good people?
Are there any good people who lure poor people into laboratories and treat them as consumables?
clap clap clap!
Hextech couldn't help but clap softly.
"Miss Ada, your decisiveness and courage are truly admirable."
"I also believe you have the ability to organize the Adventists."
"It's better to believe in you than in the church that can prevent the invasion of hell."
He spoke sincerely, but if he had taken this line to the city government or a church bishop in the upper district for help, they would have immediately treated him as a spy for the United Front, imprisoned him, and subjected him to torture. They would have had absolutely no trust in him.
After all, in the storyline, the protagonist is taught various forms of PUA (Pick-Up Artist) techniques.
There are many supernatural beings in Hell Invasion, especially from churches and cults.
"We are not those corrupt fools in the church, we are the hope of mankind." Ada turned around and looked deeply into Hex.
This statement was completely genuine, without any pretense, and came from the heart.
"I completely agree," Hex said.
The United Front also has many extraordinary individuals. This organization is a hodgepodge, a collection of various rebel forces, including ordinary people who resist the oppression of the church, as well as factions that are even more extreme and fanatical than cultists.
Undeniably, there are genuine idealists and true heroes who serve the country and its people within the United Front, but the majority are extremists who act ruthlessly and without regard for consequences, and who like to use the poor as a shield.
Ada is one of the few clear-headed and rational executives in the United Front.
"Mr. Horus." Ada changed the subject, her gaze falling on Hex and Emily beside her, her eyes carrying a hint of meaning.
"How about you and Miss Emily come with me in two hours?"
Hextech was not surprised by this request.
Ada is an extremely cautious person and would not easily let go of this mysterious intruder.
If the Adventists' intelligence is accurate, then Hextech is a crucial trump card, as Hextech has demonstrated a deep understanding of the incident.
If the information is false, a lie deliberately fabricated by Hextech, then Ada will never let him off the hook. He himself will probably be skinned alive and hung from the rafters as a warning.
"I'd love to support your actions, but this has nothing to do with me," Hex shook his head.
Grace looked somewhat disappointed, while Emily breathed a sigh of relief.
Hextech's goal has always been to leave Manchester, not because he's afraid of the devil.
However, Manchester is a very high-level game, and the final boss in the original story was not defeated by the protagonist.
He needs time to develop.
However, at that moment, a question mark popped up on the Hextech ARAM interface.
[Triggering Hextech Main Quest: Destroy Six Cult Altars]
[Reward 1: 500 Experience Points]
[Reward 2: 1500 Gold Coins]
[Reward 3: 1 shopping opportunity in the store]
Hextech then changed the subject: "However, as humans, it is our responsibility to fight against cults and demons."
"It is our duty to do so."
Grace's eyes shone with deep emotion: "Mr. Horus!"
"You're such a kind person!"
Emily was completely confused. She clearly sensed that Hex had been completely unwilling to get involved just a moment before.
Why did it suddenly change 180 degrees the next second, and I became extremely excited and eager to participate in this?
Can anyone tell her what he was thinking at that very moment?
