Sitting in front of the desk, Viscount Roseberry calmly tidied up his collar. He wore the traditional ceremonial attire of the British nobles and wore a wig. His face had the usual arrogance and harshness of an aristocrat. One could faintly see the affectation of a traditional aristocrat, but one could feel the awe-inspiring aura emanating from his body.
He placed his hand on the aristocratic foil sword beside his leg. His eyes scanned Chen Ang's face and he suddenly sneered. He turned to the black-clothed vampire beside Chen Ang and asked, "Who are you, Your Excellency? Why do you treat my guests with such an impolite attitude? "
Viscount Roseberry stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the side of the desk. This position was just right. He could use the debris to block most attacks and retreat to the back of the desk to resist at any time. Moreover, it was also very close to the window. If the situation turned bad, it would be convenient for Viscount Roseberry to escape at any time.
This exquisite method was indeed the tradition of the British nobles. On one hand, they had to maintain their dignity, but on the other hand, they couldn't suffer any losses.
Only a sly old fox like Viscount Roseberry could have such a refined pragmatism. It wasn't without reason that this country could colonize the world for hundreds of years.
At this time, more than ten British soldiers wearing bright red and white uniforms and tall black leather hats rushed over from the corridor. Viscount Roseberry quickly pulled out his foil sword. The tip of the sword was like a viper as it pierced through the throat of the black-clothed vampire closest to him. Even Chen Ang didn't expect that a pampered aristocrat would have such fast, accurate, and ruthless swordsmanship.
The black-clothed vampire reacted quickly and quickly shrank back.
However, Viscount Roseberry's sword tip seemed to have grown three inches out of thin air. With a slight flick of his wrist, the baroque sword spun about and increased its speed by half a fraction, sending the tip of the sword straight into the vampire's throat.
The sharp tip of the sword pierced through the black-clothed vampire's throat.
The British soldiers quickly charged forward and prepared to support Viscount Rothbury. They attacked with their bayonets and formed groups of two or three. They cooperated with each other and concentrated their strength on a single point. They were prepared to break through the blockade of the black-clothed vampires led by Chen Ang. From the looks of it, they seemed to have obtained the initiative.
But Chen Ang didn't even spare them a trace of attention. He calmly walked to Viscount Roseberry's desk and thoughtfully flipped through some documents and reports.
Viscount Roseberry felt an unusual movement from the tip of his sword. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted to the guards: "Be careful! They aren't humans! " But it seemed that it was already too late. The Blood Clansmen in black pulled out a gleaming blade from behind their waists. Their bodies shot out at a speed several times faster than the British soldiers. They were like mysterious shadows that swept past in the blink of an eye.
The scimitar in his hand drew a curve, and the British soldier's hands were pressed against his throat. Blood gushed out of his throat, and his corpse fell to the ground. His eyes were still filled with disbelief.
This was almost a massacre. In the narrow corridor, a dozen or so vampires in black robes moved freely like shadows. The vampire whose throat was slit by Viscount Roseberry waved his scimitar and parried Viscount Roseberry's flower sword. The scimitar in his hand turned into a ball of snow-white blade radiance and slashed at Viscount Roseberry's vitals with the sound of tearing wind.
At this time, Viscount Roseberry suddenly chanted a word. The silver ring on his right hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling holy light. The light flowed along his right hand and reached the foil sword. He suddenly pulled out the foil sword. The sword trembled rapidly like a flexible willow branch. Several sword flowers bloomed in his hand, and the holy light pierced the eyes of the vampire opposite him.
Viscount Roseberry took the opportunity to raise his foil sword. A mournful shadow flashed, and it pierced the heart of the vampire opposite him.
At this critical moment, Chen Ang kicked the vampire dozens of steps away. Then, his right leg shot up like a poisonous dragon and heavily slapped Viscount Roseberry's face. Like a ball, the vampire flew out and crashed into the wall behind him. Viscount Roseberry's neck crooked, and he actually fainted.
Chen Ang slowly put down his right leg and sighed: "I haven't fought in a long time! My skills are a bit rusty … "
Glancing at the vampire he saved, Chen Ang coldly shouted: "Trash!" The Blood Clansman in black revealed an expression of extreme fear. He trembled under Chen Ang's indifferent gaze. At this time, the other Blood Clansmen in black who had already dealt with the British soldiers could only look at him sympathetically. Throughout the entire process, no one said a word.
Chen Ang pointed at the relevant documents on the desk and said: "Put them away and search this manor for me. I want all the information on the Suez Canal Company, as well as all the documents related to Viscount Roseberry and the British mainland. Take everyone else away. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy! "
Although everything went smoothly, Chen Ang's expression didn't relax at all. He solemnly looked at the unconscious Viscount Roseberry and frowned. It wasn't because Roseberry was too strong and exceeded Chen Ang's expectations.
On the contrary, the protection around Roseberry was too weak. Roseberry's strength wasn't inferior to Hong Fan's before he was strengthened. In addition to the dozen or so elite British soldiers protecting him, it was enough to contend against Hong Fan and Zhang Ziqiang together. If they weren't careful, the Samsara travelers might even capsize. But if this was the power around the Suez Canal Company's Egyptian director, it would be too ridiculous.
As far as Chen Ang knew, the Suez Canal Company and the local church had always been on the same side.
Roseberry had always been protected by three priests and several servants proficient in Indian yoga. There was also a team of black wrestlers with extraordinary strength and proficient in throwing. But Chen Ang didn't see any of these people today.
But it didn't matter, Chen Ang thought to himself as he looked at Roseberry. When Roseberry also became a member of Horus's Eye, all of this wouldn't be a secret anymore. Chen Ang calmly withdrew from the manor with his men, leaving behind an empty building and many missing dignitaries. What happened today was like a boulder thrown into a pond. The country's dignitaries could no longer convince themselves to turn a blind eye to what was happening in Cairo. They had to face the changes that were happening.
The huge power of Horus's Eye was like a sponge that slowly swallowed up the huge undercurrent. Their power and influence were like a bottomless abyss, quietly quelling the matter. The next morning in Cairo was still calm.
When Zhang Ziqiang saw Locke and Roseberry, who were transforming into vampires, he laughed wildly. He said proudly, "What else can they use to fight me now? Dr. Terrence, the second-in-command of the Pharaoh's mausoleum, is one of us. Locke, the second-in-command of the priests left by Imoden, is also one of us. Even the hidden force, the head of the Suez Canal Company, Viscount Roseberry, is one of us.
We're already in an invincible position! When your tripartite plan succeeds and really triggers a team battle, we'll actually be the ones to give them the mission! Hahaha! "
"Let me ask you, is the Lord stupid?" Chen Ang asked with his head tilted.
Zhang Ziqiang was stunned. "Of course the Lord is not stupid."
Chen Ang said indifferently, "The Lord God isn't stupid. Would he leave us so many loopholes so that you can trick people whenever you want? I can guarantee that if you plan to let them go and indirectly control these tripartite organizations, the time when the Reincarnators appear and the main mission will be beyond your imagination. "
Zhang Ziqiang was stunned. "Then why did you capture them?"
Chen Ang said with a smile, "Do you think I'm weakening the other two parties? In fact, I'm increasing their strength. After Viscount Roseberry disappeared, the British learned of the relevant news, especially the existence of the Eye of Horus. They will definitely send people to regain the initiative. I believe that the force they send again will be much stronger than before, strong enough to obtain an absolute advantage.
"After the disappearance of Locke, the second-in-command of the Pharaoh's priests, I'm afraid that the first-in-command, Hafz, will not sit still. Coupled with the news about the city of the dead that I've vaguely revealed, he should immediately set off for Cairo.
"Cairo is our home ground. This time, converting Locke and Viscount Roseberry into vampires is enough to help us gain a considerable advantage in intelligence and further strengthen our infiltration of the other three parties. I want to eat all three parties and all the Reincarnators in Cairo. I want to promote the Eye of Horus to officially establish a nation! "
Zhang Ziqiang was stunned. He said in horror, "Establish a nation? You want to control Egypt! "
"That's right. We've done so much work in the mummy world. Is it just for a plot mission?" Chen Ang asked rhetorically, "According to our current intelligence investigation, take a look …" He pushed some documents over. Zhang Ziqiang quickly read the titles of the documents. 'Chinese Warlords Attempt to Excavate Qin First Emperor', 'Reporting Reporter Personally Experienced Zombie Attack', 'Legend of the Holy Grail and Knights Templar', 'Mayan Crystal Skull', 'Government of the United Kingdom Has Been Sending People All Over The World to Investigate Clues About The Ark of the Covenant', 'Investigation of Dr. Indiana Jones'.
Zhang Ziqiang's breathing quickened as he read on. He held onto the relevant information tightly, and then he heard Chen Ang reveal a big piece of information. "I've locked onto the location of the Egyptian tomb where the Ark of the Covenant is buried …"
Zhang Ziqiang could not hold it in anymore. He roared excitedly, "Then go and dig it! Why are we still waiting for that Imoden? The Ark of the Covenant is so much more advanced than the Golden Sun Scripture and the Necromancer's Dark Scripture. With the Ark of the Covenant, who cares about those Egyptian scriptures? That's at least an S-grade divine artifact, and it contains at least ten stars of power! "
"And then?" Chen Ang asked rhetorically. "Just Imoden alone is enough to kill you. Activate the side mission of the Ark of the Covenant? Do you think you can play with a god? "
Chen Ang placed his hands on the table and said slowly, "Even without all that, the mummy world is still a main storyline world of the trilogy. There are still the Scorpion King and the First Emperor's Tomb, which will span decades. It's worth waiting for. When it comes to managing power, what's more powerful than creating a country and controlling its development?"
Chen Ang's voice was like a demon tempting Zhang Ziqiang. "Think about it, as the center of the story, Egypt. If we use the Eye of Horus to establish an independent country in Egypt, how powerful will we be in this storyline? What side mission can't we complete? We can even use this as a springboard to go to China … "
"To China!" This voice was like an irresistible temptation. It immediately broke through Zhang Ziqiang's crumbling defense, and he immediately fell into this huge picture.
Chen Ang did not think it was enough and continued to tempt him. "After the mummy is completed, the next storyline is the Mummy 2. The time is 1933. Thirteen years later, if the Eye of Horus succeeds in establishing a country and develops for thirteen years, how much power will it accumulate? If Hong Fan really becomes a vampire, how much power will his descendants expand after thirteen years?"
"At that time, Xiu said that the main storyline of the Mummy 2 is the Ark of the Covenant side mission. If we want to activate it, is there any possibility of failure? The Mummy 3 is in 1947, 27 years from now. What about then? There's also the Indiana Jones side mission, and even the Mao Mountain Taoist story in China … This storyline world will be your home ground. "
Chen Ang asked solemnly, "Isn't it worth it for us to take a certain risk for such a great benefit?"
