The armored vehicle was mounted on the lifting platform.
The other three armored vehicles remained on the lifting platform, and once everyone had arrived, the platform began to slowly rise.
……
At the lighthouse, Charles stood guard outside Morgan's hospital room.
He had tampered with Morgan's medicine before.
According to the original plan, Morgan was paralyzed. Even if Mark didn't die, his crime of violating the three laws was already established. He would be locked up, and his life or death would be out of his control.
But right now, Mark's charges are still pending. If he returns safely, it will not only be a great achievement, but leading a team to break into a densely populated ecological area at night will also be an unprecedented feat, which will surely make him famous!
Even if Charles were to take action against Mark, he would have to consider the consequences.
Senger approached Charles. "What if Mark really brings the medicine back?"
"The ecological zone is so dangerous, can he come back?" Charles remained confident. He had laid out so many pieces; if just one of them succeeded, Mark would not be able to return.
“Mark not only has experienced hunters by his side, but also Jing Yuan. I heard that guy kills Devouring Beasts as easily as chopping vegetables. If they come back, we won’t have any chance at all. At that time, the city lord won’t be on your side either.”
"The old man has never been on my side."
“Master!” Vatican walked over. “Our men are ready. We will follow you to the death.”
“Good!” Charles turned to look at Seng: “Whether you can keep your good days depends on today.”
Seng hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Yes!"
"From today onwards, there will be no more hunters on the lighthouse!"
Chapter 105 Standoff on the Elevator Platform
Outside the navigation control room, a large number of priests had gathered.
Charles personally led the priests over, wanting to take control of the navigation control room, but was turned away.
Outside the door, several priests had already collapsed.
As soon as anyone gets close, bullets will be fired from the air control room.
"How come the people in the air control room are armed? Where did they get their weapons?" Charles roared in anger.
Charles intended to take control of the air control room so that even if Mark returned, he could wear him down by preventing him from going up the tower.
With so many Devouring Beasts on the ground, no matter how powerful they are, how long can they last?
“Jingnan!” Charles gritted his teeth.
The air control room was under Jingnan's jurisdiction, which clearly meant that Jingnan was also on his side.
"My lord, news has come from the medical center. The city lord has been taken away!"
"What? Weren't there people guarding the medical station? Victor's been locked up, who's going to rescue that old bastard!"
"I don't know! Judging by the equipment, it looks like a Wilderness Hunter!"
Charles asked loudly, "Haven't all the hunters gone down to the surface?"
After saying this, Charles understood; they had clearly been prepared.
“Mark!” Charles’s eyes narrowed into slits. He hadn’t expected Mark to be so thoughtful.
"Your Excellency! The elevator... has landed!" A priest ran over to report.
Charles looked extremely grim; he was now unsure whether his men had succeeded.
If Mark dies, the Hunters will lose their leader and fall apart. Charles doesn't need to go to great lengths.
If Mark hadn't died...
Charles's eyes gradually turned vicious; there was no other way but to burn his bridges!
……
The elevator platform slowly rose and finally came to rest on the main platform of the lighthouse.
This time, when the hunters returned, they were not greeted by cheering crowds, but by rows of neatly arranged priests and city guards.
All the priests were dressed in uniform, with bulletproof vests over them, and carrying rifles.
Four red gravity bodies from the Light and Shadow Society and six blue gravity bodies from the City Defense Forces guarded Charles.
Charles stood at the head of the group and shouted to the four armored vehicles of the Hunters: "Hunter Commander Mark, by violently breaking into the Hall of Dawn and helping the Dust People receive heart transplants, has seriously violated the Three Laws. According to the law, he is sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately! Anyone who defies the law or condones Mark will be punished the same!"
Mark, sitting in the armored vehicle, witnessed this scene, and to be honest, he was more disappointed than angry.
Mark pressed the team's communication frequency and said to everyone, "Everyone stay put in the car!"
After saying that, Mark got out of the car alone and walked to the front.
Normally, no one would disobey Mark's orders.
Today, they did not do as Mark said.
Xuefeng was the first to emerge from the armored vehicle, still wearing his gravity suit. He was carrying a gravity machine gun.
Then, Erica, Flying Snow, Jeff, Corey, Haji, Gavin, Chu Feng, Neil, and Linger stepped out of the armored vehicle one after another.
Mo Cheng, Penny, Kun Jie, Gao Ge, and others stood on top of the armored vehicle, manipulating the machine gun on the roof and aiming it forward.
Ten gravity vehicles and four armored vehicles!
Looking at the crowd behind Mark, Charles felt a mix of emotions.
They went to an ecologically dense area, and none of the main team members died; they all returned unharmed.
If Charles hadn't been desperate, why would he have been willing to face such a hunter?
"What? Are you going to join Mark in breaking the Lighthouse Law?"
“Charles!” Mark said, “We’re here to fetch medicine for the city lord. At least let us get the medicine to him! As for what you’ve said, the city lord will decide once he wakes up!”
“Do you think I’d listen to this?” Charles then shouted, “The hunter who protected the criminal Mark is guilty of the same crime and should be executed according to the law!”
"Priests! The time has come to show your loyalty to the Lord of Light and Shadow! Destroy these heretics!"
"Wait a moment!"
Jing Yuan stepped down from the armored vehicle. "Listen up, everyone! Mark is the successor to the city lord appointed by Lord Morgan! Charles framed Mark in order to compete with him for the position of city lord! Charles is the one who committed the crime!"
Charles sneered, "You think they'll believe you?"
Jing Yuan smiled slightly: "Believe it or not! I'm just giving you a chance, a chance to live!"
"If I count to ten, the priests who leave now will survive!"
"ten!"
As soon as Jingyuan finished speaking, two groups of people walked over from both sides of the platform.
They were wearing the uniforms of the hunters.
Not all the hunters went down to the ground for this mission.
At Jing Yuan's behest, Mo Dong and Hyde, along with a dozen or so of Jing Yuan's trusted men and the thirty-odd brothers left behind by Xue Feng, stayed on the lighthouse, waiting for this very moment.
"Nine!"
When the priest in the middle saw that they were surrounded, his arrogance immediately halved.
The priest was about to abandon his gun and flee when Ned shot him in the head.
Those who flee in the face of battle must be executed.
"call out!"
After Ned shot the fleeing priest in the head, he was shot in the hand.
Smoke was still rising from the muzzle of Feixue's sniper rifle.
"Eight!"
As Jingyuan counted down, the priests raised their guns and pointed them at the hunters in front of them.
But they weren't sure either.
These priests, who usually bully the people at the lighthouse, are not confident when facing hunters who have experienced life and death on the ground.
"seven!"
"Jingyuan!"
A girl ran out from the group on the left side of the Mo Dong team; it was 4277.
At this moment, 4277 was holding a black oval shield.
The two sides faced off, and no one paid any attention to a commoner, so 4277 ran to Jingyuan's side.
"How did you come?"
"I've finished making the shield you requested overnight!"
Jingyuan looked at the scale disc in 4277's hand, and with a thought, he controlled the scale disc to come to his front.
4277 watched in shock as the item in his hand flew into the air.
