C877 To fight my way into the Headquarters.
Looking at the blast assault rifle in gunner in black's hands, Xia Lei could not help but become angry. He gave Knights Hospitaller fifty million dollars and a large amount of good equipment. Just by looking at Knights Hospitaller's reaction tonight, it seemed like the other party still wanted to set up a trap to capture him and then obtain what they wanted. They didn't want to start a real war with the FA!
On one hand, it was the choice to start a war with a free agent organization, and on the other hand, it was the choice to deal with a merchant from Grand China.
Kyoko Tsukino released Xia Lei's hand, then gave him a sign language.
Xia Lei nodded his head, and when the gunner in black was close to the corner, he suddenly walked out.
gunner in black subconsciously raised his spear, but that was only a subconscious movement. Seeing that the person who suddenly walked out from behind the corner was also dressed in black, he did not raise his spear. But a second later, he sensed that something was wrong. His hand moved to lift the gun again, and his mouth opened as he prepared to shout.
A warrior. The blade suddenly pierced through Xia Lei's arm, right into his mouth, and then through the back of his head.
A blade pierced through the brain and gunner in black fell to the ground.
Kyoko Tsukino turned to the bloodied warrior. Returning the blade to its sheath, she quickly took off the black robe on gunner in black's body and put it on her. However, it was somewhat outrageous.
The two of them threw the corpse into the drainage ditch on the inside of the stone staircase before continuing on their way. After walking for a short distance, he saw a row of stables that had been dug into the stone wall. Inside the stables, there were war horses reared. The horse's excrement is excreted through the drainpipe, and they make the air stink.
At the end of the stone stairs was a huge natural cave. It was a few dozen meters high, and about three to four hundred meters deep. It was shaped like a upright top, with a wide top and a wide bottom.
A new stone staircase led down from the cliff, with fences on one side. Standing on the edge of the precipice, one could see numerous artificially dug rooms. The bottom of the cave was wide and flat, with a Roman church in the middle. It looked majestic and magnificent. The light from the windows and doors added a mysterious aura to it.
In addition to the church, there were other buildings at the bottom of the cave, such as functional buildings, cafeterias, warehouses, and medical rooms. Every building had the symbol of the Knights Hospitaller. They surround the church like stars and the moon, and the size of the whole looks like a miniature town.
"That church should be the real headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller." Xia Lei said: "Let's go down."
Kyoko Tsukino only nodded once, and then followed Xia Lei down the stone stairs on the cliff. She knew it was dangerous, but she didn't care.
Not all the stone houses beside the stone staircase were empty. Some were occupied. But most of them were women and children, and very few were men. The people in the stone hut didn't pay much attention to Xia Lei and Kyoko Tsukino who were passing by the "front door". Some merely glanced at it, while others didn't even bother to look at it. However, even those who looked at Xia Lei and Kyoko Tsukino would not suspect anything, thinking that the light in the tunnel was very dim, and it was almost impossible to see a person's face clearly. Adding on the black robes Xia Lei and Kyoko Tsukino were wearing, the people in the stone hut naturally viewed them as Knights Hospitaller's people.
After reaching the bottom of the cave, Xia Lei headed straight for the church. His left eye remained in perspective, vigilantly observing his surroundings. And then Kyoko Tsukino separated from him at the bottom, disappearing into the darkness. This was her style. If she was allowed to move under the light, her strength would be reduced instead.
As they approached the church, a man in a black robe with a huge body walked out of a house nearby. In his hand was another blast assault rifle. Other than the Knights Hospitaller's octagonal cross emblem on the house behind him, there was also a sign that was written in Italian, "Wine house". This tall and sturdy man was also emitting a strong smell of alcohol.
"Hey!" Brother, didn't you guys go capture that Grand China person? Why are you back? " The tall and sturdy man in black asked loudly.
Xia Lei spoke in Italian: "There are enough people. They told me to come back."
"Which knight?" The tall and sturdy man in black robes asked.
Just then, two other gunner in black who were similarly dressed walked out of the wine house. Right now, Xia Lei was almost certain that this kind of gunner dressed in black robes was the so-called "Holy Knight" that Arthur had mentioned before. They were all the elite troops of the Knights Hospitaller.
"It's Qaddafi." Xia Lei said.
"What?" "Who?" The burly man did not hear clearly.
Right at this moment, two gunner in black s who had just walked out of the wine house fell on the ground.
The tall gunner in black suddenly turned around, and in that instant, a warrior appeared in front of him. The knife penetrated his chest and came out from his back. The instant he fell to the ground, he saw the surface of the wine house. The person who had poured out the wine for him had also collapsed, and fresh blood dyed the floor red. That was the last thing he saw in her life.
Kyoko Tsukino who appeared from within the darkness lifted gunner in black's legs and dragged him towards the wine house.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze from her body and walked towards the main door of the church. When he walked to the main entrance, Kyoko Tsukino had already left the alcohol house, and was sneakily heading to another room with a light on.
She was helping Xia Lei clear a potential threat. Xia Lei's plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain had removed most of the elite Holy Knights in the Knights Hospitaller, while she was going to use the methods that she was most skilled in to clear out the remaining parts. She wanted to create the best operating environment for Xia Lei.
This was also the reason why Xia Lei didn't bring anyone but her. However, Yasuya Khan and Sayimu also had something they needed to do, and that was to deal with the Holy Knights who were leaving.
This was Xia Lei's plan, flawless.
The door to the church was closed, so Xia Lei pushed open the door and walked in. The praying hall was empty, there was a cross under the wall of the hall. Jesus, who was nailed to the cross, looked down at Xia Lei who had entered through the door, his eyes filled with pity.
Xia Lei quickly passed through the hall, and entered the inner area of the church. His left eye quickly scanned around and soon locked onto a room. It was a study, and at the door stood a gunner in black who held a blast assault rifle.
In the study, a bald old man was using the phone on his desk to make a call. This office was not lit by an oil lamp, but by a light bulb. There was a computer on the desk. This was not only the only scene with a modern aura that Xia Lei saw today.
The electricity could have come from the top of the mountain, or it could have been a device that would produce electricity forever. Whatever the reason, it didn't matter.
Xia Lei walked towards the door of the study.
When the gunner in black at the door heard the noise, she immediately looked over.
A streak of cold light flew over, and when he stopped again, an Italian military blade had already settled on gunner in black's left eye. It went through his left eye and into his brain.
The black-robed man didn't even have the time to say a single word before he fell to the ground, making some sort of sound.
Xia Lei walked up quickly and extended his hand to support gunner in black's body, then slowly placed him on the ground.
After settling the guard at the door, Xia Lei did not rush in. He stood at the door, pretending to be a guard while using his left eye to look through the old man in the study, and used his lip language to decipher the old man's words.
"..." You want peace? No problem, we never had the intention to start a war with you ? Xia Lei, that was because of Xia Lei. The fact that your Nomosha killed his people made him lose his mind ? Of course, we need a truce agreement, and we will compensate you for our actions against the Nomosha ? Five hundred dollars, no more... We will not interfere with the matters between you and Xia Lei, nor will you interfere with the matters between our Knights Hospitaller and Xia Lei ? Together? Let me think about it... Goodbye, my friend. " The bald old man hung up.
At this time, Xia Lei almost didn't need to guess the identity of the bald old man in front of him. This bald old man was no one else but the leader of the Knights Hospitaller, Angelio!
There were two leaders in Knights Hospitaller, and all the others knew was that the leader of the puppets, who was also Walton, who was talking to him. Walton obviously would not be here. He was in the Maltese Palace in Rome, Italy. This place was the true headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller. Of course, only the true leaders would be in charge here.
"You want to cooperate with me at this time? "Hehe." Inside the study room, Angelio laughed coldly, "We will soon catch Xia Lei, do I need to cooperate with you all? I'm willing to give you five million dollars just to wipe out the war. "
Xia Lei's heart was filled with anger. He gave the Knights Hospitaller fifty million dollars in operational funds to hire mercenaries and armed groups to wage war on FA. From the looks of it, the Knights Hospitaller did not have the sincerity to cooperate with him. Not only did they embezzle his money and equipment, they even wanted to capture him time and time again!
His cooperation with the Knights Hospitaller was undoubtedly like that of a tiger seeking its skin, but now, he wanted to skin this tiger!
Xia Lei reached out and grabbed the door handle, pushed open the door and walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Angelio looked in shock at Xia Lei who walked in from the door, and then he saw the corpse that had fallen on the ground. He suddenly realized something, and quickly reached for a drawer.
Xia Lei leapt over the desk and kicked right at Angelio's chest.
Angie Leo dodged horizontally, throwing a punch towards Xia Lei's ear.
The bald Angelio might be a little old, but this did not seem to affect his body's functions. His movements were swift and violent, and he possessed terrifying strength. When he swung his fist with all his might, his strength and speed did not lose out in the slightest to those so-called boxing champions.
However, his opponent was Xia Lei.
Xia Lei leaned his body on the desk, and at the same time he dodged Angelio's punch, he also turned silent. The artifact's viper pistol had blocked Angelio's ribs.
Angelio's body froze. The punch he threw still missed, but he didn't even dare to retract his fist because he wasn't sure if the gunner who broke into Knights Hospitaller's headquarters' Sacred Church would fire at him.
Xia Lei slowly crawled up from the desk, with one hand maintaining the posture of pointing a gun at Angelio, he said: "Angelio, we finally meet."
"Who are you?" Angelio didn't look flustered, he appeared to be very calm.
Xia Lei reached out and ripped off the skin on his face. Mask.
"It's you!" Angelio was shocked. He had thought of many possibilities, but he did not expect that the person who would appear in front of him would be Xia Lei.
