He ran frantically, and when he was less than two meters from the gate, he found himself being grabbed by someone.
He turned around abruptly and was shocked to find Captain Gerry holding his hand tightly, standing there motionless.
“Captain Gerry? Come on! Come on!” Norton said anxiously, tugging at his hand.
At that moment, Captain Gerry looked at Norton, and suddenly a large amount of blood streamed down his face. Then, that strange voice rang out: "Lieutenant Colonel Norton, why are you leaving here? Isn't this place nice enough?"
Norton was going crazy, yelling, "Let go! Let go! What are you doing! What are you doing!"
Under his gaze, Captain Gerry's face gradually peeled away, revealing an incredibly sinister and terrifying face.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Seeing this scene, Norton could no longer bear it, and the drooling god completely broke down.
Chapter 0128 The Great Su Yi (First Update)
September 13, 1930, in the bi-monthly calendar, was an extra long night for some.
Some people feel like each day is an eternity because they are trapped in fear and despair.
Some people are worried about their own interests and are extremely anxious.
Some people are calculating their future plans, fearing unnecessary changes might occur.
Of course, some people see tonight as a significant turning point for the future.
Anya, the capital of the Rosas Empire.
As a world-renowned economic and financial gem, it enjoys numerous honors.
Her name was given by Anya, the greatest and most distinguished queen of the Rosas Empire, and in the Rosas language it means "center of light."
Located southeast of the capital, the Crossmus Palace is an ancient palace with a history of 1,500 years, which has witnessed the establishment and development of the Rosas Empire.
Over the course of 1,500 years, this place has undergone 30 renovations and 12 expansions, and today it has become a magnificent royal palace garden, as well as the residence of the empire's queen.
At the very center of the palace stands a pristine white ivory tower, the heart of the palace complex. This radiant tower boasts three spires, symbolizing the three deities represented by the three major churches a thousand years ago, a product of the perfect union of divine and royal power.
The three major religions have now been destroyed, but this historically significant building has been preserved and has become a symbol of the entire empire.
The study on the third floor beneath the south spire of the Radiant Tower is the personal study of the current Queen, Queen Stephanie III, where she spends six hours a day working.
It is now 11 p.m., but the study is still brightly lit, a testament to the Queen's diligence and dedication.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest telegram sent by Miss Clark." A lady-in-waiting dressed in a black robe strode in.
Behind the desk, a delicate hand took the paper and glanced at it. Then, the young queen let out a soft sigh, seemingly relieved.
"Pig's 4th Infantry Division, the vanguard battalion of a thousand men, was completely wiped out." Clear yet cold, agile yet noble, this voice was like the Queen herself, like a snow lotus atop an iceberg, filled with aloofness and loneliness.
Slowly standing up, the Queen turned to look out the window. Through the glass, one could see that the Queen had snow-white skin, rare pure black hair, and black eyes.
She was wearing an elegant court dress with a black background and white sleeves. At first glance, she looked like a fairy who had stepped into the mortal world from an ink painting. Apart from her red lips and white teeth, there was only the holy white and the simple yet profound black.
With a perfect face and an exceptional lineage, this is the current Queen, Suiania Tephine III.
"Dani, what do you think?" Su Yi turned and asked.
The middle-aged female official said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the fat inhibitor that Miss Clark brought back is very effective. Dolly, the fat pig known for being lazy and eating a lot, is now like a different person. She has completely given up chocolate and ice cream and exercises regularly every day. In just three days, she has lost two pounds."
"At this rate, she can become that slender lady in just two months."
After hearing this, Su Yi's dark, glass-like eyes sparkled with a light like stars: "I understand what you mean."
"How's the investigation into Los Arkham going?" Sue asked again.
Dani replied, "I've already investigated thoroughly. Everything has been normal for the past twenty-four years. The only unknown is the night he issued the Prohibition order."
"According to intelligence, in just one day and one night, this person has become a completely different person and seems to have suddenly gained tremendous power."
"You mean to say that the current Arkham is not the same as the old Arkham?" Sue raised her hand, habitually fiddling with the sideburns on her chest.
Dani: "That's how it seems at the moment. Although we don't know what kind of mutation he underwent, judging from the city government staff and related residents, the mutated Los Arkham is more cheerful, easy-going, approachable, and intelligent."
"Because the previous Los Arkham was an introverted, awkward, and somewhat naive and stubborn idealist. From the age of fifteen, he had been saying that he hated Arkham City."
“That’s interesting.” Su Yi’s eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of her beautiful lips curled up slightly. “I kind of want to see him.”
“Your Majesty, it is late at night, you should rest,” Dani said earnestly.
Su Yi shook her head slightly and sat back down in her chair: "The pressure from the military is getting stronger and stronger, and we must make adequate preparations in advance."
"Did Eisen come again today?"
Dani nodded: "Yes, but I turned it down."
"Isn't it all because of his eldest son?" Su Yi said, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
General Eisen is currently the highest-ranking general in the Empire, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Minister of Defense, Chairman of the Military Industry, and also a superhuman with a level 27.
His ambition is now known to everyone in the capital.
Naturally, he wanted to replace him and restore the throne.
What he wanted was not a powerless monarch like the current constitutional monarchy, but a true emperor who ruled the entire empire.
He now controls 30 members of parliament and holds both military and financial power. He now needs the Queen to marry his eldest son, Dominic.
Danian said, "He seems a little impatient."
“That’s natural. Even if he has mastered the technology of those aliens, as long as I have another ten years, I can bring the entire empire into a completely new era.” Su Yi clenched her fist.
She boasts that she can handle superhumans and aliens, but she needs time.
She has many unique skills, but developing these skills requires time and money.
Sue said, "Let Elizabeth keep an eye on things over there. If Arkham can resolve the Innsmouth problem this time, he will certainly be qualified to stand by my side."
"understand!"
Dani respectfully withdrew, leaving only this fairy who seemed to have stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting in the vast study.
"Ancient gods and aliens are not a problem."
As Su Yi spoke, she turned around and took out a large number of blueprints from her drawer.
These drawings contain all sorts of complex structures and formulas.
As can be seen from the titles of the drawings, they include nuclear bombs, satellites, missiles, rocket launchers, fighter jets, and even exoskeleton combat armor, electromagnetic rifles, and even nuclear-powered flying swords!
"Give me enough time, and I can kill even a god!" Su Yi's eyes sparkled with countless stars.
Chapter 0129 Arkham Morning (Second Update)
Thursday, August 14th.
People who woke up in the morning were only a little sleepy after a night of noise, and had no other feelings.
Wash up, eat, get dressed and go to work.
The streets remained as neat and clean as ever. It was as if the gunshots and screams of last night were just a dream.
The public square was piled high with garbage, including tents completely stained with blood, as well as a large number of car and tank fragments.
People weren't interested in these things and didn't even glance at them when they passed by.
The children, on the other hand, found a good spot and used it as a place to bury treasure, looking around to see if they could find any interesting things.
The streets have completely returned to their usual calm, the police are still patrolling diligently, and the shops that were forced to close yesterday have all reopened.
If it weren't for the pile of blood-stained garbage still there, people would have thought that yesterday's army was just mentally unstable due to their mental breakdown.
Below the Imperial Post Office Building, the intersection of Armitage Street and Peabody Avenue is a true major thoroughfare in the city center.
To the northwest are the Arkham Telephone Company and the City Hall, and to the northeast is the Arkham Tram Company, which connects to the public square.
To the southwest is the Imperial Post Office building, which connects the two upscale neighborhoods, while to the southeast are the fire station and Arkham Taxi Company.
At 7:30, the morning rush hour had already begun here.
Private cars in upscale residential areas, public taxis, trams full of passengers, and commuters all pass through this street.
The bustling street was noisy and lively. Passersby were eating their unfinished breakfasts, smoking, and adjusting their ties and clothes, hurrying to start their new day.
Minnie stood at the edge of the street, watching the passersby and the footprints they left behind.
"A strong smell of blood. Were those damned soldiers really all killed?" Minnie thought as she walked. Even though she was wearing a loose coat and trousers, it couldn't completely hide her voluptuous, alluring figure, like a ripe peach.
“A thousand soldiers, thirty superhumans, all wiped out overnight, and my thirteen sisters have also disappeared without a trace. Los Arkham! You truly are my greatest enemy!” Minnie followed Peabody Avenue northward, looking towards the direction of Los’s house.
Yesterday's battle was incredibly fierce. Under the army's focused suppression, eight of their Forbidden Gate priestesses were killed in just one afternoon, which was a huge blow to them.
With the thirteen witches missing here, they lost a third of their members in just one afternoon. This huge blow was something that Pope Minisa could not ignore.
Last night, she had planned to take advantage of the chaos to come over and eliminate Los Arkham, but as she approached, she sensed an incredibly terrifying presence passing overhead, which immediately filled her with fear.
According to her estimation, that figure was at least level 50 or higher.
Subsequently, through various channels, she also learned about the follow-up situation. When she heard that Los had wiped out the entire army, Minisa, who was somewhat skeptical, came to see for herself this morning and found that the reality was even more shocking and terrifying than the intelligence reports.
There were almost no signs of a struggle, and even the bullet holes in the walls were few and far between; it was a complete one-sided massacre.
"How did he do that?" Minnie wondered to herself as she suddenly bumped into someone.
The two of them looked up at the same time and found that they were both old acquaintances.
“Miss Clark.” Minnie recognized Elizabeth at a glance, who was dressed plainly and had undergone simple disguise.
“Miss Val.” Elizabeth was taken aback, but quickly recovered.
The two bumped into each other and felt a little awkward for a moment.
What was supposed to be a secret investigation turned out to be a collision between the leaders of two organizations.
"If you two ladies have time, you can have coffee together."
Another voice rang out.
The two men turned their heads and saw a young gentleman wearing a top hat, a suit, and carrying a cane.
“Jason Gaspard, it’s been a long time,” Elizabeth said with a smile.
Gaspard smiled slightly: "I've been dealing with some things lately and only returned these past two days. I heard about the huge changes in the city, so I did some research. Would you be interested in sharing some information?"
Jason Gaspard, representative of the Southern Lowlands, a senior member of a mysterious supernatural organization, the Eye of Alama, maintains a neutral stance, moves between various powers, and is a well-known lobbyist.
“Okay!” Elizabeth nodded with a smile.
