The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Before he could think about it, a loud bang caused by an explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a vibration from the ground.

Under attack!

The brain immediately grasps this fact.

"——Oh no! CCG is attacking us!"

The younger brother outside the door didn't even bother to knock on the door, and rushed in breathlessly to report to him.

In fact, Ishigami Sosuke knew this very well without him saying anything.

With the help of the faint light at that moment, he saw clearly the true identity of the person who was attacking him and others.

--warship.

There was not just one ship, the artillery on it continuously launched attacks on Liudao Island.

Cannonballs rained down on the island, blasting craters one after another and blowing each ghoul or Amazon into pieces.

There were panicked sounds from the men all around.

There were also a dozen landing ships docked on the shore, and the investigators who came out of them had already started exchanging fire with the ghouls on the island.

"Why....CCG is coming...?"

He swallowed helplessly. At this moment, he only felt his hands and feet were cold, and subconsciously he wanted to escape.

But then he remembered that for the sake of convenience, all the boats had been handed over to Wanzhangshuyi...

In other words, they are trapped on this island!

"Ten thousand zhang↘ counts↗one↘!"

Finally, he let out a shrill roar, but it was of no avail.

Chapter 144: For the sake of the bronze tree, give your brother a hand!

"How's the battle going?"

In the command ship at the rear, He Xiujito, who was in charge of the command, frowned and asked the subordinates around him.

"Report! We have engaged the Bronze Tree ghouls. The enemy's resistance is very fierce. A large number of Amazons have been found on the island. All forces are being blocked from breaking through."

"Where are Owl and Red Superman?"

"No trace has been found yet."

"Keep paying attention, and have the special officers get ready. The others continue the attack!"

As orders were issued in an orderly manner, the situation on the battlefield became more intense.

.....

The arrival of CCG undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the newly formed ghoul organization "The Hanged Man".

Under the night sky, with an absolute advantage in numbers, groups of investigators arrived at the island on landing ships and began to exchange fire with the ghouls who stayed there.

Amid the dense gunfire, blood flowers bloomed in the air, the sounds of fighting and killing, and the screams of the injured came one after another, and humans and ghouls continued to die and fall.

Since most people had not had time to take off Bronze Tree's red robe, CCG, after realizing that they had not chosen the wrong person, launched an all-out attack.

As for the ghouls, even though they don’t know why CCG suddenly attacked Ryujima, what they should do will not change.

In this situation where you are surrounded by the sea and your means of escape are completely cut off, there is only one way to survive.

--fighting!

It is already December, it is still snowing, and the temperature is terribly cold. When you put your hands in the sea water, you can feel the biting cold.

What's more, there are turbulent ocean currents waiting for them.

If you want to swim to land, you might as well consider smearing some blood on your body and finding a place to pretend to be dead.

At least the latter has a high chance of getting through if the investigator doesn't make the final move...but it's hard to say whether he can make it to the end.

Therefore, if the investigators who landed were not completely eliminated, only death would await them.

If you don't fight, you can't survive.

They, who were born from the bronze tree, understood this very clearly.

Therefore, they, who were already good fighters, reacted quickly after the initial panic.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain of the island and their mutual understanding, they fought a life-and-death battle with the investigators who had landed.

The desire to survive, coupled with the hatred that many of them had for the investigators, made them burst out with considerable fighting power, and in a short period of time they held off the investigators who far outnumbered them.

——But it was only for a short time.

It is not optimistic as to how long the Hanged Man, who lacks top-level combat power, can hold out.

Once a certain delicate balance is broken, what awaits them is bound to be a total defeat.

This fragile balance did not last long...

Although both the ghouls and investigators have the idea of ​​competing for superiority and inferiority, as well as life and death, there are also those who are naturally afraid of fighting.

——Amazon.

Unlike the ghoul, who had no way to retreat and could rest assured that he could leave his back to the other ghoul because they were both born from the bronze tree.

Having joined Amazon less than a week ago, the willingness to resist is obviously not very strong.

No, it’s not that it wasn’t strong, it’s more like these guys just ran away.

After all, I have only been a member for a short time and don’t have much feelings for the club.

After being extorted a large sum of money by Ishigami Sosuke in the name of "donating love for the organization", he was even more determined to break off his relationship with him.

——We are here to keep each other warm, not to be enemies!

Most importantly, unlike ghouls who have no way to retreat, they can actually run.

For ghouls, the icy sea water may cause hypothermia in a short time, but it is completely different for Amazon.

Judging from their physique, it is nothing more than a shock.

And the turbulent ocean currents can be completely ignored by relying on one's own body.

Not to mention, many of them are based on aquatic plants and animals such as fish.

If other Amazons may need to be considered, then they really don't even need to consider it.

After transforming, he jumped directly into the sea and stayed under the water the entire time, without even needing to breathe. The CCG was unable to stop him even if they wanted to.

Those who are more far-sighted will catch a ghoul from their surroundings and take it back as food reserves.

It is precisely because of this that as more and more Amazons chose to jump into the sea and escape, the situation that was originally stalemate changed rapidly.

Due to the reduction in combat power, the pressure on the Hanged Man's ghouls doubled, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage, forming a vicious cycle, resulting in signs of defeat even though the war had just begun for a short time.

"Damn it! Damn it! Why is this happening!?"

Listening to the bad news coming one after another, Ishigami Sosuke roared angrily.

I had a dream I wanted to pursue for the first time, and I also became the leader of a large organization. These two happy things should have brought me more happiness...but why did it turn out like this...

When he thought about being caught by CCG and having his kagune made into a Quinque, he couldn't help but tremble.

At this point, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that he was actually taking the blame for the Bronze Tree.

But at this point, there is nothing we can do.

He picked up the phone, gritted his teeth, and dialed a number.

......

Inside the barbecue restaurant, Lin Qiao, whose appearance had changed, answered the phone.

"Please, Mr. Ishimori! Please save us for the sake of the fact that we all worked together at the Bronze Tree!"

This was the first sentence that came from inside.

Then there were all kinds of pleas for mercy, with the sound of gunfire in the background.

"The situation over there sounds a bit chaotic. What happened?"

Watching the news on TV about "CCG attacking the Bronze Tree Headquarters", Lin Qiao pretended to be concerned and asked.

This made Ishigami Sosuke on the other end of the phone stunned.

Could it be that I was overthinking it? Was it really not the other party who wanted to harm me?

But whether it is or not, now is not the time to talk about it.

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Ishimori, I made a mistake... But it's really urgent right now. CCG suddenly attacked us... Please, save us once!"

He quickly explained the whole story, then humbly asked for help from the other party.

Without any hesitation, Lin Qiaoyi responded sternly: "Look at what you are saying. What are you begging for? We are half-brothers. How can I watch you being slaughtered and do nothing?"

Hearing this, Ishigami Sosuke was immediately delighted.

But before he could say anything to thank him, he heard a change of tone from the other side:

"Although I really want to help, you should also know how long it will take for us to gather people and rush to Liudao Island, right?"

"This..." Ishigami Sosuke was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed a problem that cannot be avoided. No matter how fast the opponent is, it is impossible for him to teleport over!

Chapter 145 Marutesai in Action

Although he understood Lin Qiao's statement, he was unwilling to give in when it came to his own life: "Can't it be faster?"

"I can only say I'll try my best. How long can you hold on?"

"Twenty minutes at most! How about you?"

"As for me..."

Looking down at the sizzling barbecue on the grill, Lin Qiao thought for a moment.

"It will take about half an hour."

"Half an hour? But if this is the case..."

Aren't they completely cold?

"Don't worry, I know you're anxious, but don't worry... Anyway, gather everyone together and try to hold on until we get here."

"All together?"

Facing Lin Qiao's suggestion, he hesitated for a moment. If that were the case, they would really have no way out...

No, you can't say that!

This is an island, so they have no way out.

He gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Okay, I know!"

"Well, good luck to you."

Then Lin Qiao hung up the phone without delay... and turned the barbecue over.

I wiped the non-existent cold sweat from my forehead, and almost fainted because I didn't pay attention for a moment.

He reached for the bottle of miso sauce and poured it into the dish.

"So you don't really want to go?"
