Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 12 Hey, brother-in-law, I heard that you have a beautiful sister whom I have never met before?
Two days later, the day of action.
All members of Team K have arrived, and the Scarlet Castle is filled with a murderous atmosphere.
This huge castle belonging to the "King of the World" is brightly lit tonight. The vampires who used to serve as servants in the castle, as well as the grooms and cooks, have all changed into combat uniforms for combat.
Modeled after the bat suit, it is stitched together with different materials using extraordinary skills. Bulletproofing and energy resistance are only its most insignificant functions. The enchantments and inscriptions applied by Seiko can greatly enhance the vampires' dark magic.
Originating from the masterpiece of the Mason Manufacturing Group, these battle suits and even the matching combat belts are of epic quality at the lowest level, and the guns and weapons that the vampire warriors will use tonight have reached the insane legendary level.
This means that the combat effectiveness of these elite vampires will be greatly enhanced due to their equipment, allowing them to compete with the Conqueror veterans.
In order to better fit the atmosphere of tonight's operation, the artistic tailor Mason also ordered the advice of Emilia's family to be embroidered on the back of these battle suits.
Blood brings loyalty, and loyalty creates strength!
At this time, Ms. Emilia was also standing on the platform wearing the first-class vibranium-woven battle suit among the servants of Team K, with her most loyal and capable adjutant standing behind her.
This should have been a very serious moment, but for some reason the Countess always had a strong sense of déjà vu.
She had not originally considered the issue of equipment, but it was her "master" Zha Kang who reminded her that it would be a shame not to make good use of Mason, the master craftsman, so she ran to find Lord Mason.
The captain-general was always easy to talk to about such matters, and with a wave of his hand he allocated nearly 1,000 super combat suits and weapons as armaments for the Countess's Scarlet Guards.
However, due to the special physique and strength of vampires, these suits had to be redesigned and produced. As time was not very abundant, Mason took a break and directly used the blueprint of the bat suit to modify the design.
The master's battle suit is very plastic and extensible, and it is almost the most perfect battle suit blueprint.
But its shape is not easy to modify into other styles in a short period of time. Besides, vampires and bats actually match well, so Mason didn't care about this aspect.
The result of this laziness was that right before Countess Emilia, there stood nearly a thousand elite vampires in bat suits.
Imagine this scene!
A thousand Batmen are waiting here for the order to attack. How powerful would the momentum be?
Although she knew that no matter how powerful her elite vampires were, they could never be compared with Batman, to be honest, this classic look still gave the Countess a lot of confidence and excitement.
Maybe it’s because this shape itself is very reassuring?
The vampires knew the name of Batman. After all, they were theoretically hostile to the lord's world. Some guys didn't quite understand why they had to wear the enemy's clothes, but they were quickly explained by some seniors with mental magic.
This must be the method that the wise and brave Countess wanted to use to undermine the morale of the enemy and create panic among them. After all, in the past few years, Lord Batman has always been the most troublesome and feared enemy for the local conquerors.
Well, that must be the reason!
"I can't help laughing no matter how many times I watch this scene..."
Standing behind Ms. Emilia as an advisor, Zha Kang put on a vampire mask and grumbled to his companions through the communication with his lips slightly moving:
"If I were an evil villain and I went out tonight and saw a thousand Batmen rushing towards me, I would definitely pee my pants. This is a classic scene created by accident.
But seriously, the style of these vampires really matches Batman's suit, as if it was designed for them naturally, eerie, scary, dark and bloodthirsty.
Tsk, I can't help but imagine if Batboy was a vampire, how shocking would that scene be?"
"Now is not the time to make bad bat jokes. We have already reached the outskirts of the Arctic base. The scouts have been dispatched and are waiting for orders to start the battle at any time."
The hoarse voice of Ertong echoed in the communicator, and he asked:
"Barbara, where are the Alpha Sentinel Corps?"
"Starting up the temporary battle mastermind."
Batgirl responded:
"The people at Utopia have set up a very complex authorization mode for this thing, probably to prevent it from getting out of control during combat. Don't worry, Second Barrel, the Alpha Sentinel's combat module has two basic abilities, 'blink' and 'teleport'. They will teleport into the battlefield after the battle begins.
It won't delay anything.
Charles, you can warm up the new armor engine. It will take some time for that big guy to come alive."
"receive."
The Kite Man replied:
"Engine preheating and starting, passenger information loading, second-level combat authority delegated... Codename 'K Dragon' is online, waiting for instructions."
"Has Mason gone over?"
Zha Kang watched his "little pet" giving an impassioned speech to start the war in front of him. The more he watched, the more he felt that he had a good vision in choosing such an excellent vampire lady as his servant.
He was very pleased and asked:
"Is the communication with Mason smooth? If anything happens to him, tell me immediately and I will be responsible for getting him out."
"It is in silent mode for now. It should be preparing to cross the transmission device."
Barbara checked it and replied:
"The highest command on the battlefield still lies with Mason. Everyone, before he issues further instructions, let's just do our own work. Now I will officially take on the position of No. 2 commander.
The fifteen-minute countdown to the start of the war has begun!"
"drop"
A continuously jumping red number popped up in Ertong's helmet field of vision. At this time, the Scarlet Knight, who was lying on the optical stealth position in the snow, stretched his neck.
Charles behind him was changing into the driver's suit, and next to him was a very peculiar armored vehicle. It was just a detachable cockpit, and the kite man would have to sit on it in a while before he could enter the real armed force tonight.
That was a weapon specially made by Mason for this battle, continuing the fine tradition of Team K that any experimental weapon must be tested in actual combat.
"You seem a little nervous?"
A pleasant voice sounded from beside Ertong, making him look back. The vampire Selina, who was sent as an assistant and commander of the vampire hunters, was staring at him with her red and black eyes blinking.
During these three days, she stayed by Ertong's side as his guide and comrade-in-arms. At first, she couldn't speak to him, but gradually she became familiar with him.
At this moment, the vampire Cold Mountain Beauty said with a hint of sarcasm:
"You shouldn't be afraid of war, right? I know you have won many challenges in the past period of time. Are the rumors about you a little exaggerated?"
"I think I should be nervous."
The second barrel said in a mute voice:
"Tension will make me more alert, and I will dodge every bullet and every chop. An old man once taught me to get used to the tension of fighting. He is used to conflict like you and thinks he can adapt to war. He is no longer wary of any violence."
"How did he end up?"
Selina asked, and the second barrel activated his barrel helmet to cover his expression. He said coldly:
“He’s dead.
He died at Mason's hands, right before my eyes, and from then on I knew I should forget everything he had taught me... And you too, you cool vampire chick.
You can't possibly adapt to war!
Even if you have been through countless battles, the moment you stop being alert to conflict is the moment you die.”
"Girl?"
Selina sneered and said:
"I'm hundreds of years older than you!"
"So what?"
Ertong asked sharply:
"Is age an advantage in your vampire worldview?"
"beep"
A communication message popped up on the commander's communication. The rookie Psylocke's voice rang out, reporting with two completely different tones of nervousness and relaxation that were mixed together at this moment:
"We have entered the control room of the Arctic base! We are executing the blockade order! The base defense system will be paralyzed in ten minutes, and no one will be injured!
I repeat, no one was injured.”
"Very good, keep up this good form."
Two barrels indicate:
"Wait for my order."
The communication stopped, and K-Men commander Psylocke turned around and nodded to her fully armed teammates behind her. She gestured and said:
"According to our previous plan, we will divide into four teams and enter the dormitory area. We will start with the new recruits in the same batch as us and knock them down or kill them.
I don't need new recruits rushing in to disrupt the battle until the attack on the Arctic base is over!
Brothers and sisters, I know this is difficult, but the longer we hold on, the fewer casualties our compatriots will suffer. Saving one more is good.
Take action!
I will stay here with Mystique and await the order to begin the battle."
The rookie mutants nodded in unison and then dispersed according to their previous groups. Psylocke strode into the control room holding a scandium alloy samurai sword.
There was blood flowing like a river and corpses scattered everywhere, but there was no warning signal and it was as quiet as before.
This is obviously the work of Mystique.
Among the mutant community, no one is better than her when it comes to spying and infiltrating.
"You stayed here to watch me?"
Mystique curled her lips and said:
"No need, fellow man. I have already chosen my side."
"I'm just afraid you'll do something wrong."
Rookie Psylocke said bluntly:
“You are different from us. We are blank sheets of paper and can redraw our lives, but you have been stained with too many colors. I really don’t want to see us become enemies.
Don't do anything stupid, Riven!
Master Mason has given us the best path that we, the clones with no origin and no future, can find."
"You treated a man you had just met for less than four days as your 'God' and his words as the holy book you should follow for the rest of your life. He untied the leash for you with his own hands, but you put it on again.
It’s just that the person holding the rope is different.”
Mystique glanced at the communication module on the console that was still arcing after being destroyed a few seconds ago, and whispered:
"So, between us, who is doing the wrong thing?"
…
"Commander! An urgent communication has come from the Lord's World Forward Base! The vampires are plotting to destroy our military base and command system in that world."
The young version of Magneto, wearing a black military uniform, quickly walked into the commander's cabin of the First Conqueror Order. He reported to the meditating lady in front of him:
"Our senior commander there risked his life to send a message, requesting our headquarters to go and provide support! In addition, there has been a major turn for the better regarding the war process in the Lord's World.
The personal relationship between Lord Superman, Lord Batman and the Queen of Justice is revealed, and a baby with a complicated relationship with the three of them is being sent back to the Lord world.
The senior commander suggested that we immediately seize the baby, as she believed this would directly change our stalemate in the Lord's World. "
"Huh? Are the relationships between the three of them so complicated?"
The meditating commander of the First Conqueror Sequence, the "Red Queen", opened her eyes, causing the dancing flames around her body to disappear like a phantom. She asked in surprise:
"Also, how did this 'turnaround' come about? I remember that an assassination attempt on the Queen of Justice failed there a few days ago, and an Omega-level general was captured.
Now it seems that there was a reason for that failure, right? "
"Yes, Commander."
The young version of Magneto immediately reported:
"According to the report from the high-ranking commander, our operation was originally successful, but a group of rebellious members of the Star Society suddenly broke in and caused the operation to fail at the last minute.
Now the return of the baby was also the work of that Star Society traitor. They seem to want to reach some world-class deal and alliance with the Lords of Justice."
"The Star Club? Ha, a bunch of wild dogs who can never control their own ambitions, don't know who their masters are, and just want to run around."
The Red Queen smiled disdainfully.
It seemed that she had no intention of taking any action. After all, large-scale military mobilization could not be carried out at will. The operation of violent organizations like the Conquerors was closely monitored by the Council, and it was a taboo for commanders to send troops out at will.
As for whether or not to miss the opportunity?
This is a completely meaningless question.
The worlds that the Conquerors of the First Order are responsible for are not just the Lord's World.
That stubborn world did cause a lot of trouble, but for now their importance was not strong enough to require the full force of the First Conqueror Sequence.
But out of curiosity, the commander still asked:
"So, which unruly member of the Star Club is causing trouble in our territory?"
"It's the A-level member, 'Master Craftsman' Mason Cooper."
Magneto reported.
As a result, the Red Queen, who had been so careless just now, suddenly stood up. It was obvious that the name made her very excited. Under the surprised gaze of the adjutant, the commander hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"Order the front-line world to send out the general reserve force! Capture the baby regardless of casualties and defeat Mason Cooper's team with all your strength. It would be best if we could capture him and bring him back, even if we lose the front-line world for this, it would be worth it.
By the way, activate my personal teleporter and I will join the operation as a private person."
"Commander-in-chief! This is against the rules!"
Adjutant Magneto widened his eyes in surprise. This order was not in accordance with the procedure. Any conqueror commander's participation in the war needed to be reported in advance.
"Execute the order! I will complete the formalities later. Mason Cooper is a special individual. As long as I bring him back, the Council will not punish me."
The Red Queen was too impatient to explain these things and waved her hand and scolded. After her adjutant Magneto left the command cabin, the Red Queen, who had finished her meditation, reached out and opened her closet.
She picked out clothes of different styles and finally chose a bright red dress-style battle suit.
In the dim light of the commander's cabin, the commander, who had not done anything by herself for a long time, took off her underwear. In the interval between changing clothes, she flicked the slender fingers of her left hand lightly.
A Weapon X Project member identity card jumped into his palm amidst the brilliant flame phantom. The information on it read, "Weapon X Project·Doomsday Plan·Third Batch No. 14 Experiment·Codename 'Hestia'."
This appearance sequence number is only one digit different from Mason's.
The commander-in-chief, wearing a red dress, played with the identity card in her hand and looked at the dark sea of stars outside the porthole of the commander's cabin.
In her eyes, the burning world was like a rising sun.
Another execution was completed.
Another struggling world died before the end of the world, but Miss Madeline was not at all moved by it. Her interest in the destruction happening before her eyes was not even as great as her slight anticipation for meeting Mason.
This is how she sees war.
It is a responsibility to be fulfilled, a job that does not arouse my interest, the reason for my birth, and something that is meaningless.
"Hello, my 'brother' who has been in the spotlight lately but is unknown to me."
The Red Queen stared at her identity card.
She never revealed this information to anyone else in the First Conqueror sequence, and naturally no one knew about the mysterious connection between her and Mason.
But she was grateful for the gift of fate that allowed her to meet Mason at this moment.
She had no interest in Mason's career and pursuits, nor did she understand Mason's thoughts and ideas very well. She just wanted to see Mason as a person.
After all, they are probably the only two people in their hometown's Weapon X project who have survived and made a name for themselves so far.
As for what to do after the meeting, the Red Queen, Lady Madeline, didn't know, but if her "brother" was interesting enough, it was not impossible to let him go.
"Alas, I am not a forgiving person, but who allowed you to do something I have always wanted to do but could not do? Are you looking forward to our meeting?"
