Chapter 294: Relying on
Suddenly, a mysterious force with unknown origin and no number joined the battle.
They took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack from outside the prison, and they were carrying a lot of heavy weapons.
There were tree armors providing long-range fire support, which were frantically projecting long-range fire, turning the entire square in front of the arena into a sea of fire.
In this way, with enemies attacking from both sides, Natalia had to withdraw the Blood Shadow Army that had launched a counterattack against the Bureau of Secrets and go to another front for defense.
And this is not the worst news.
To make matters worse, Natalia discovered that their communications had suddenly been cut off.
Both the short-distance "Fujixin" network and the dedicated military lines that can connect to the Capital Military Region have become dumb lines.
No matter how the signalman called through the communicator, he could not receive any signal feedback.
At this time, the Bastille really became an isolated island.
On this isolated island, the battle continues, with continuous artillery fire and smoke everywhere.
The soldiers of the Blood Shadow Army fought a desperate battle with the enemy with their tenacious perseverance.
However, as time went on, their ammunition began to run out and casualties continued to mount.
Faced with such a predicament, Natalia knew very well that if they didn't find a breakthrough, they might really die here.

"Mr. Minglang, do you think they can hold on?"
Emperor Macbeth of the Sun Yuan Kingdom sat in the most luxurious box, gently stroking and playing with an exquisite hound head decoration on the armrest, while his eyes were fixed on the fierce fighting scene outside the bulletproof glass.
"Your Majesty, I believe that if you wait a little longer, the Blood Shadow Army will surround this place and wipe out this group of traitors."
Mr. Minglang's voice was still low and magnetic. He seemed unaffected by the rebellion and responded to the emperor slowly and steadily.
"Oh, now I really have a headache."
Macbeth shook his head, tapped the bronze hound's head on the armrest with his fingers, turned to Mr. Minglang and said:
"It seems that my two sons have really grown up. Now they can't wait to take this country away from me."
The voice was also very low, but there seemed to be a hint of laughter in the tone.
When Mr. Minglang heard such a tone, he just lowered his head in fear, because he understood how angry the Emperor of Riyuan Kingdom, who seemed to have a happy look on his face, was at this moment.
The founding of the Kingdom of Riyuan was based on the betrayal of the previous ruler of this sea area by the Mac family - the Plantagenet Dynasty.
Therefore, Macbeth felt somewhat inferior in his heart and thought that he had obtained the kingdom in an unfair way.
This also led to his morbid aversion to selling out and betrayal.
He could not tolerate anyone being disloyal to him. For example, Takeda Nagayoshi's previous defection made him extremely angry.
Later, in order to retaliate against Takeda Nagayoshi, he not only sent assassins, but also sold out part of the national interests in exchange for foreign aid.
Even now, they are willing to release plague biological weapons to create an uninhabited area, etc., all of which were stimulated by Takeda Nagayoshi's defection.
At this time, his two sons also betrayed him.
Macbeth was extremely angry that he should be confronted with an armed force while attending his favorite entertainment.
Of course, in Macbeth's mind, there is no such idiom as "even a tiger will not eat its own cubs".
Since the two little tiger cubs have shown their claws to him, Macbeth has already regarded them as his enemies in his heart.
"I really want to see what those two bastards can do."
Although he said this in a nonchalant manner, Macbeth's angry hand had already deformed the exquisite hound head.
Mr. Minglang still didn't dare to answer. He just stared at his shoes with his eyes, but a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Natalia, the deputy commander of the Slaughter Blade Blood Shadow Army, requests to see you."
The chief guard pushed the door open and reported to the emperor in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the security forces of the Bureau of Secrets led by His Royal Highness the Third Prince are attacking us for some unknown reason..."
Because the situation was urgent, Natalia entered the room without any greetings and started reporting directly.
Hearing this, Macbeth did not look at her, but just looked out the window and said calmly: "Natalia, I already know what happened. Now I believe you have also reacted, right? All you need to do now is to stop them."
At this time, Macbeth's emotions have returned to calm. Judging from his ability to control his emotions alone, he is worthy of being a hero of a country.
"Who would have thought? My own son is now attacking his father. I really don't know who to trust now."
At this point, Macbeth turned his head and looked at Natalia, "So, can I trust you? Can I trust your Blood Shadow Army?"
Natalia felt her scalp tighten when Macbeth looked at her. She quickly knelt on one knee and lowered her head to answer:
"Your Majesty, you can trust us, the Blood Shadow Army. I will definitely fulfill our duties."
After saying this, Natalia looked up at Mr. Minglang and the guards who had been silent beside her, and quickly reported:
"The biggest problem now is that our external communications have been completely cut off."
"Our technicians have confirmed that a powerful interference plant has been planted in this prison in advance. The energy fluctuations it emits have cut off all our external communications."
"However, the most surprising thing is that the nearest army unit is only a dozen kilometers away from us. I have just ordered people to fire a distress signal flare into the sky. If they look this way, they will definitely see it. But..."
Natalia hesitated for a moment, looked at the tactical watch on her wrist, and then said:
"But, more than half an hour has passed, and there is still no news of any reinforcements."
"Oh, is that so? Interesting."
Emperor Macbeth, who had been calm all this time, seemed to be interested now. He turned his whole body towards Natalia and said, "Stand up. Tell me everything else you have to say."
Natalia stood up, frowned, and said hesitantly:
"What we can see now is that there are two troops with different numbers attacking us. One is the Secret Service Guard of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and the other is probably a ragtag army composed of mercenaries from various countries."
"However, the combat effectiveness of the ragtag army is very strong and they have heavy firepower. And now, I only have a squadron of soldiers and less than a hundred medium-sized tree armors."
"I just calculated the enemy's attacking force and firepower configuration. If we don't have reinforcements for more than four hours, our weapons will run out of energy. By then, we..."
Natalia didn't finish her words, but the meaning behind them was self-evident.
Macbeth asked Natalia in a somewhat strange tone: "Where is your legion commander McTwister? I think he didn't come to the Bastille this time, did he?"
Natalia shook her head and said, "As far as I know, Captain McTornado and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Hongluo Island together. I don't know exactly what mission they were on. The last time I contacted him was two days ago."
"You mean to say that McFlurry left Red Island early in the morning? How come I didn't know about this?" Emperor Macbeth revealed a hint of doubt in his tone.

Having said this, Macbeth, without waiting for the two men to reply, shook his head again and said:
"I think that Macbeth has been plotted against by my two dear sons. Otherwise, if he was still in the capital, my two sons would not have been able to launch a coup with the help of a few hundred people in the Secret Service. They must have relied on something."
He raised his hand and stroked the short stubble on his chin, then turned to Mr. Minglang and asked, "Where is the transport fleet returning from the Qingshan Island war zone now?"
Mr. Minglang admired the Emperor Macbeth's quick thinking, but he still pretended to think for a moment, then slowly responded:
"We received the battle report yesterday. It will probably take less than ten days to return to our home port."
