Chapter 874 Return And Kidnapping

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Victory Square was already crowded with people.

A large number of policemen were busy maintaining order, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The ancient city has been plagued by many calamities these past few months, First, the Imperial War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan attacked the Demonic Sword Armor Master and the City Hall, Then, the Emperor attacked the police station of the ancient city, causing huge losses to the ancient city. There were even many innocent people who died in these two attacks. In the eyes of the Americans, these were completely two terrorist attacks. The main culprits behind all these attacks were the Imperial War God Wang Lin Xuanyuan and the Emperor, who were the most hateful terrorists.

It was precisely because these two events left a shadow over the American people that the citizens were curious about this press conference, but most of them restrained themselves. After the initial excitement, most of them consciously stood on the outskirts.

This was a location that could minimize damage to the fish in the pond, and it was also a location that could satisfy curiosity.

A simple podium has been built in the center of Victory Square, and loudspeaker equipment has been installed. Every question asked by the reporter and Yurisses's answer can be spread throughout the entire arena. As a result, for the sake of safety, most of the people are far away from the center.

After all, if the enemy attacked the ancient city again, the podium in the center of Victory Square would definitely be the enemy's core target. The further away from the podium, the safer it would be.

Dozens of military trucks with American flags on their heads arrived at Victory Square. Groups of heavily armed U.S. Troops quickly occupied various defensive landing spots. After the two reinforcement battalions of nearly 1,000 U.S. Troops arrived at the scene, the originally chaotic scene immediately became even quieter.

The most elite officers of the Gucheng Police Department were assigned to the rostrum, Everyone's faces were solemn as they carefully examined every reporter who entered the scene. The two large-scale destructive terrorist attacks made everyone look like a bird in a bow. An originally simple interrogation was divided into several steps, including checking the identification, phone confirmation unit, registration name, and home address.

There was no detail, only more detail!

The solemn and solemn atmosphere pervaded every corner of Victory Square, and everyone's hearts were filled with depression.

Time passed quietly.

As everyone silently waited, two rows of medium-sized convoys finally appeared in the line of sight, getting closer and closer to Victory Square.

"Western security."

"Dongfang Security."

"The south is safe."

"The north is safe."

One short and straightforward report after another entered the rostrum. With Victory Square as the center, all the commanding heights in the four directions had been completely controlled.

America 's sensitivity in a state of war is astonishing, In addition to the necessary ground defenses and commanding heights, Four helicopter gunships were hovering in the sky. A military low-altitude satellite had already been lowered to the lowest altitude, monitoring the entire ancient city. At this moment, hundreds of analysts were analyzing the images in the satellite images, trying their best to reduce the dangers that were unlikely to occur.

Low-altitude military satellite surveillance.

The helicopter circled in mid-air.

Commanding heights, sniper defense.

The troops on the ground were ready.

The onlookers were separated from the reporters on the podium by more than a thousand meters.

In such a battle, even without an expert present, Yurisses and Dabinett's safety could be said to be perfect.

Not to mention the Emperor, even if the three royal giants charged together with all the experts of the royal family, it would still be difficult for them to threaten Yurisses and Dabinett.

There were limits to how heaven-defying experts could be. Especially when fighting alone or on a small scale, there were even more restrictions. Facing enemies with far more people than them, they had to first conceal their identities and then create chaos in order to do things conveniently.

Nowadays, there was practically nothing left in the open space more than a thousand meters away from the rostrum, No matter how strong an expert was, they were still flesh and blood. Within a distance of more than a thousand meters, the helicopter in mid-air had countless chances to use small missiles to lock onto and shatter everything. This could already be said to be perfect protection. Any small-scale assassination was meaningless.

The two rows of convoys approached the rostrum while the crowd was waiting.

The door opened.

President Yurisses and Senator Dabinett, who represent the highest authority in the country, got off the car and stood on the rostrum, smiling as they waved at the crowd in Victory Square.

Yurisses was dressed formally. Although his expression was a little heavy, anyone could tell that Mr. President was in high spirits and radiant.

On the contrary, Dabinett's face was a little green and his eyes were a little dull. Although he was smiling, he seemed to be trying to force a smile on his face no matter what. Especially when he was standing with Yurisses , the contrast between their smiles was extremely obvious.

Yurisses didn't seem to notice Dabinett's abnormal behavior at all. He picked up the microphone and casually said a few words. The press conference went straight to the question-and-answer session.

Without a doubt, this was the most important and core link.

Both Yurisses and Dabinett needed to communicate their voices to the American public through these media, and then put tremendous pressure on the Howington Group, making it easier for them to annihilate the Howington Group.

In fact, after Scana's defeat in Dark Town, there were already sporadic figures from the Howington Group who were moving closer to Yurisses .

Yurisses believed that the Dabinett Group would definitely have such a person, or even more.

However, these people who were moving closer to them were not the core of the Howington Group, and their positions weren't too high. However, Yurisses still decided to temporarily put these people away. He finally understood the logic of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.

"Mr. President, what do you think of the defeat of the second war in Border Town?"

Yurisses sat on the rostrum and casually pointed at a reporter who raised his hand to ask a question. The reporter who was named had an expression of ecstasy and surprise, but he immediately adjusted his mood and asked a question that everyone was extremely concerned about.

"I'm very surprised."

Yurisses said with a heavy expression, "No one wants to see such an outcome, but the course of the war is always changeable. I will study this war with the military and give the people a satisfactory explanation."

"Are you saying that the defeat of this war was just an accident? Don't you need someone to take responsibility for this war?"

Another female reporter stood up and asked angrily.

"No, someone must be responsible for this war, The course of the war was full of surprises, However, such a tragic defeat must have been accompanied by a large number of command mistakes. In fact, I have not been able to successfully contact Governor Teglas or Admiral Scanner, nor have I received any reports of him paying attention to this war. But I believe that as the commander-in-chief of this war, the two of them must be held accountable for such an outcome. "

Yurisses shook his head, his expression even heavier.

"I heard that before the war, Admiral Scana and Governor Teglas signed a warrant at the war headquarters? They threatened to take down Border Town within twenty-four hours or resign? In fact, the end result has been seen. Will Admiral Scanner and Governor Teglas keep their promises in the face of such a failure? Mr. President, may I ask if you will grant their resignations? "

A foreign media reporter stood up and asked.

"I will respect their decision, regrettably. "Teglas and Scana bear unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of this war, and I will approve their resignation. If I can see this report, in fact, whether they will resign or not, most of the members of the war command now agree that they are no longer fit for their current positions, so..."

"Mr. President!!!"

Before Yurisses could finish his words, a terrified and anxious voice suddenly sounded.

Yurisses turned his head in astonishment, then his expression darkened as he suppressed his displeasure and said, "What's the matter?"

It's Vice President Joseph.

Under everyone's gaze, the image-conscious vice president rushed to the podium because he was so anxious that he almost tripped over the stairs and stumbled so hard that he almost hit Yurisses.

Yurisses ' heart sank for no reason. He knew Joseph very well, and he knew that if it weren't for the shocking events, his old friend wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

"Mr. President, I must report the emergency military intelligence to you in secret."

Joseph took a deep breath and said with a pale face.

Yurisses took a deep look at him and nodded. He then stood up and left the podium with Joseph, temporarily handing over the lead of the press conference to Dabinett.

"Mr. President, I have received news that the residence of the Governor of Lonemoon is also holding a press conference."

After walking down the podium and leaving the reporters' hearing range, Vice President Joseph couldn't wait to speak.

"Huh?"

Yurisses frowned and said indifferently, "What are Teglas and Scana trying to say?"

"It's not what they want to say."

Joseph's eyes were filled with despair. "It was Howington who wanted to say something. Teglas and Scanner organized an elite sneak into Dark Town in these two days and successfully rescued Howington. Now that Howington has returned, he is at the governor's mansion in Austin, at a press conference!"

Yurisses's expression changed drastically!

At the same time, the long spears and short cannons in front of the rostrum were aimed at the ashen-faced Dabinett.

As Dabinett lifted his hand weakly, the reporter who was named stood up and said bluntly, "Congressman, what do you think of Border Town? Do you have any plans for taking Border Town back?"

Dabinett is one of the deputy commanders of the war command.

Commander-in-Chief Yurisses naturally couldn't focus all of his attention on Border Town, His gaze was focused on the situation in the Divine Empire and Asia, and the US Marshal and Deputy Commander of the War Command, Earlaen, naturally had to assist the President in mobilizing troops. Hawenton was currently captured, and only the Deputy Commander, Dabinett, had the time to bring him back to Border Town. Therefore, it was most appropriate to ask Dabinett this question.

"Huh? Ah, there's no problem with the words of the United States."

Dabinett was silent for a moment before he subconsciously spoke.

The reporters were dumbfounded.

What was he talking about?

Dabinett seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure. He smiled bitterly and finally made his decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, everyone, on the way here, I received a very unexpected news. I was a little confused, so..."

The reporters were immediately excited.

This time, without waiting for Dabini's signature name, all the reporters asked Dabinett what the unexpected news was.

The news that could cause Dabinett's soul to fall apart was definitely a big deal.

On the podium, Dabinett took a deep breath and said in a depressed tone, "A few hours ago, my best friend and most important assistant, Erwin, was kidnapped by Scanner. I received a call from Scanner not long ago asking me to preserve his position and authority, otherwise I would have killed my best friend."

Dabinett finally said it.

Although these words were somewhat inaccurate in terms of time, 90% of the contents were true. At least in Dabinett's eyes, this was true.

Only by spreading the news would he be able to use the anger of the people and factions to subdue the third of Dabinett's power that belonged to Erwin.

With Elvin dead, this was his last chance.
