The Iron Guards are good at fighting, but it seems that those strange creatures hidden in the snow and fog are better adapted to the cold environment than them. The snow cannot trap them, and they can suppress humans in both close combat and long-range combat. In less than two minutes, there is no outline of humans who can stand and move in the thermal imaging.
Instead, some strange creatures that combined human skeletons with canine heads came into the detection range.
In the black, white and gray frames, the body temperatures of these strange creatures are higher than those of the humans lying on the ground, and the old ranger can see their movements clearly.
At the same time, several voices resembling wolf howls were heard in the wind and snow. After the content was translated by the synesthesia beacon, the rangers in ambush frowned.
"Just give them the implant?"
"Pay attention to disposing of the pawns that are being watched by the guardians. The speed of 'germination' is too slow. The opening for the creatures in the Rift is only half a point. Suppress as many as you can. Don't be greedy."
"That great guardian is full of bullshit - he said he would capture the 'blessing seeds' and give them to us. Don't we have to snatch them ourselves?"
"If I had known this job was so dangerous, I wouldn't have done it."
"Stop complaining! We finally had a chance to have the blessed seeds out of the Yaoqing ship's control range, and we seized it. Prolonging life is just a small matter. The pharmacist's blessings are getting less and less. I haven't opened a business for nearly fifty years, and I must make up for it this time."
Hearing Yao Qing's name, the rangers immediately understood that this group of Bu Li people were definitely repeat offenders - when they received the intelligence before, everyone was still wondering how the Feng Rao people could land so quickly even with the help of the Riddler, but they thought that the other party also had means similar to Yi Ting or the Club and opened a door, or they were originally cruising in the surrounding star areas.
"Those damn foolish baskets of myth, introduced us to the crazy woman and then disappeared? Are you sure they can be trusted?"
"Of course he's not trustworthy, but that guardian needs us to take care of the Nameless Guest. Belloberg won't turn hostile until we take down that golden-haired guy."
"It's not like a crazy woman would keep her promises—"
"No one who is affected by the star core will have a good ending. She is very strong, and there is no need for us to offend her. Our goal is only to bring good fortune. As for whether she will keep her promise or not, and whether her daughter lives or dies, none of this has anything to do with us. We should take the benefits and run away before the Wing Makers come to share a share, and don't attract the attention of the Rangers."
"Anyway, the Belobergs can't travel in space, hahaha. That woman can't catch up with us even if she chases us."
Unfortunately, you bastard kobolds have been exposed.
Old Li quietly sent a distress signal to Yun, and recorded Bu Liren's conversation to report to the doctor and Luo Fu later.
The snow fog moved slightly to the east, and the Bu Li people were exposed to the rangers' sight - including the atrocities they were committing.
Spinal implants... this group of plundering people with wolf heads and wearing angular armor like insect shells inserted the living controllers they bred into the spines of the Iron Guards lying on the ground. The bodies of some of the Iron Guards had been twisted by the parasite, and they stood up counterintuitively, like those immortal boat people who had fallen into the devil's body and lost the use of their bodies due to abnormal cell proliferation. It seemed that their bodies were completely controlled by muscles, and the bones did not play any supporting role at all. It was very scary.
"These damn stinking dogs are using bugs to control the Iron Guards - Lao Li, what are you waiting for!!"
"Wait for reinforcements, Xiao Liu. You already know they are Bu Li's people, but you are still going to rush over? Those bastards cannot be killed by conventional means—"
In addition to the kobolds, they also saw several giant beasts... the Buli people's war machines.
Those flying behemoths, which are much larger than Star Rafts, can shuttle between the stars and spray deadly plasma at the enemies. They are quite tricky guys, especially since they lack heavy weapons and the same number of Star Rafts for cover, so it is impossible to fight them head-on.
Lao Li’s worry is not just whether he can win or not - that group of dog-faced people mentioned Dr. Kong... There are only two golden-haired people in the team, and one of them is his student. If the blessed seed of abundance is really in him, then he will be the target of plunder by the people of abundance. In a sense, he is also the "source of disaster" that Yao Qing must destroy.
He was struggling with the authenticity of the conversation he had just overheard accidentally. Was it released by the Riddler or Kburg to confuse the audience? It was also possible that he and his companions had already been observed by the other party, and these wolf cubs were acting to make them fight among themselves. The Bu Li people had done many wicked things like this.
"..."
He struggled for a while... remembering that before he left, the mumbling rememberer handed him a tarot card and said a lot of incomprehensible things like monologue. He silently flipped through the card that he had clipped in his belt.
[Dr. Kong has more important things to do on this trip. If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot resolve, don't bother him. Someone will help you through the difficulties.]
The card is... a... "Tower"?
……
"I am the person you call a noble? I'm busy, okay?"
When seeing the tarot cards that Lao Li was looking through in the Black Swan crystal ball, Black Swan's bored face suddenly darkened.
She originally left a puppet here to keep watch, in order to see if this mysterious memetic being could track Kong at any time and monitor all his actions with other women, but the Black Swan's meme could not break through Kama's blockade, so the two of them could only watch the Ranger Adventure Movie here for a long time, which made her a little impatient.
"But you always make time when it comes to Dr. Sora, don't you?"
The Black Tower and the Black Swan, whose date with the spy on the sky was fruitless, were actually bored and waiting for something unexpected to happen.
The accident predicted by the Black Swan Divination did happen, but its connection with Sora actually only triggered a crisis of trust among the rangers.
With that man's thick nerves... he should confess to the rangers without a care in the world that he has the Blessing of Abundance in his body... even if he just discovered it.
The two also knew that the Fengrao people would definitely cause trouble, but they did not expect that they would actually attack the Seventh Regiment, which had stated that it would not participate in internal disputes.
Regardless of whether the "hunting activities" of the people of abundance to make biological weapons will be discovered by the Seventh Regiment in the first place, the disappearance of the patrol team on the east side will also make them alert. At the same time, they should be wary of the direction of the city and the Pella base in the west. No matter how they think about it, Cocolia will not gain any benefits.
"Alas, there is nothing I can do. It's my fate to work hard. Behind every successful man there is a woman who is almost dying of exhaustion."
Although she was somewhat unhappy about Black Swan's explicit statement, Black Tower also felt that instead of letting Sora respond to the Ranger's doubts with his nonchalant "sincere attitude", it would be better for her to take action and suppress the matter.
According to her calculations, the most stable solution would be for all the rangers who touched the truth to disappear along with Bu Liren. But if she really did that, she would definitely be furious with them if she was flipped out.
"I can take you there - but please confirm... This is a dispute between the club and the Fengrao people, and Yiting is not involved in it." Black Swan smiled gently, as if it was not her who was peeping with the crystal ball just now.
"Okay, okay, I know. You're trying to evade responsibility, right? You two are both so troublesome and yet afraid of trouble."
The puppet sighed impatiently, and when she opened her eyes again, the puppet was replaced by the Black Swan Tarot card and teleported next to the man surnamed Li.
"Oh~ memes are really convenient..."
But before she had time to sigh, there was a flash of lightning in front of the black tower - a natural phenomenon that would never appear on Yalilo suddenly fell in front of her eyes and passed in front of the ranger who had been discovered by Bu Liren.
"what??"
The rangers holding the hilts of swords and guns saw several slim and beautiful women rushing out from a purple cloud and rushing into Bu Liren's formation.
"No thoughts, cut off!!"
"Powderization!"
"Asuina is on top!"
The thunderbolts slashed through the behemoth vehicles and threw them flying. The roar of the cannons drowned out the screams of both sides. The horizontal anti-aircraft guns poured black clouds of death into the deep pits on the wolf-faced people who had no time to adjust their positions and look for cover. Dozens of smoke clouds filled with fragments and impact force covered the interstellar bandits in the rear. The perfect fusion of thunder and lightning presented Beloberg with a symphony that was louder than the gale, but did not hurt the Iron Guards who were twisting and crawling up.
Heita's eyes widened, and he controlled his fists to drill into the puppet's eyes to make sure it wasn't a viewfinder malfunction caused by memetic substitution.
"…Why are you all here?"
Damn, I'm not the only one waiting for the chance to perform behind him?
Heita, who thought that she and the Rememberer were the only ones helping Sora with the trouble, suddenly felt her eyes twitch - her doll had recently been suffering from hormone imbalance, so its emotions became more and more diverse, and it could already produce quite human facial details.
It was not surprising that Ying followed Kong, but she was really overwhelmed when she showed up and brought all of Kong's women with her.
The feeling of "thinking that you are the one who cares about him the most", but being outshined by other female companions who respond too enthusiastically... is really a bit uncomfortable.
"We are all on standby in Ms. Ying's Pure Land, but we are unexpectedly rushing to help here—"
"You shouldn't say 'stand by' at this time, Noshiro. You should say 'have tea'. It's the girls' 'tea party', right? Cleaning the dirt is just a by-product." Befa knocked on the transport bio-vehicle that looked like a fat bug with his metal gloves, making it dent and sending it flying dozens of meters like a rugby ball. At the same time, he seemed to gently correct Noshiro who was also constantly throwing away shells and killing people.
"Yes, the head maid is right—"
Noshiro drew his sword meticulously and chopped down Bu Liren who was stunned and had not yet inserted the spinal controller. His action was so ruthless that it had nothing to do with his original intention of being infatuated. "Article 5 of the Iron Law of the Port District - Anyone who tries to hinder the commander from dating his companions will be resolutely annihilated as a hostile unit."
"They don't seem to have affected that guy's romance, right?"
Heita fished for the hammer speechlessly, but couldn't find a place to start - all the monsters had been snatched away by these girls.
"'Hidden dangers' are also included in this category, so deal with them in advance!"
Noshiro's sword strikes even harder——
287.Behind every successful man...
——I helped maintain her and Kong’s date this time, and she will help me next time, and we will both have a bright future.
The female companions before Kong had already formed a tacit understanding that was similar to the twelve musical notes.
Only Black Tower was completely unable to understand this spontaneously formed tacit understanding.
In her opinion, after Ying came over with a van of women and killed the group of dog heads in seconds, the next step should be to immediately find Kong to take credit or interrupt his and Xier's not-so-important schedule - after all, this was the first time they confirmed that the Fengrao people were involved in the political situation of Yalilo VI, so they should hold a meeting or something.
But both Ying and the very sensible head maid raised their index fingers to her, indicating that she must not say anything nonsense to Kong, and let them help Kong share the worries and handle everything behind the scenes.
"We need to give these werewolves a try - to find out how they knew there was a 'seed' in Sora's body."
Eula began to rub her hands together, as if she was examining whether the fur on these dog heads could withstand the ice explosion.
I noticed during the fight just now that the opponents' bodies healed extremely quickly. If Shadow's Thunder hadn't paralyzed their limbs, the bowl-sized wounds inflicted by the students' full-power bullets would have healed within seventeen or eighteen seconds. It was disgusting.
"Ms. Black Tower, please don't let the commander return to participate in this matter, otherwise Miss Xier will be angry. You have the quickest mind, so please be responsible for the key to the interrogation."
Seeing that Heita was still stunned, Befa spoke up, and assumed that she agreed to his proposal, lifted her skirt, bowed and thanked her.
“…Okay.”
Heita nodded numbly, then looked at Bu Liren who was tied up like a dumpling, and then blinked at the ranger Lao Li who also had a numb face.
Although the latter has his foot on the other's back, he has no sense of participation in the entire conflict process:
"...The Great Guardian clearly dislikes outsiders influencing Beloberg, but she doesn't mind these damn interstellar bandits attacking her soldiers? What on earth is she thinking?"
"Maybe she didn't ask for it. Hey, did you attack the Seventh Guards on your own initiative?"
While Heita was asking the question, Asuna also squatted down and poked the dog-headed man in the face with her ice cone, and was very careful not to give the other party any benefits - the hem of her skirt was always kept at an angle that would never let outsiders see what was going on inside.
If the person lying on the ground was a teacher, she wouldn't mind spreading her legs a little, but when interrogating prisoners, C&C agents only showed the sophisticated side of Millennium Academy students.
The collapsed Bu Liren wanted to curse, but he was electrocuted so hard that he couldn't even open his mouth. He could only tremble and try to crawl away from under Lao Li's feet - this immortal boat man stepped on him without any lightness or strength, as if he was torturing a prisoner. Even though his flesh could heal quickly, his bones made crisp crackling sounds, which made him miserable.
"There must be more than just these few of them, but they are not nearby - judging from the size of the beasts, this is a small nomadic branch. Ms. Black Tower, have you observed any Buli people's warships in orbit?" Old Li finally had the opportunity to show his abilities. Among the people present, he was the only one who had fought with the Buli people's tribe many times.
"No. The arrival of these guys left no trace in outer space, otherwise the Starry Sky Train would have detected them long ago."
Seeing that Asuna had been poking the other party for a long time, and Bu Liren had no intention of speaking, Heita suddenly saw a light bulb that no one else could see appear on his head, and then he took out a single-molecule knife.
"Hey, stupid dog, tell me how you landed. I know you can use the blessing of abundance to recover quickly, and you have a tolerance for pain, so you are not afraid of interrogation. But Ruan Mei happens to owe that guy a favor. I will remove your head and put it in a petri dish. I will bring it to her separately and let her help study your brain waves. She shouldn't mind... Or let the Rememberer pry information out of your head, which will be a painful process. Now I'll give you a chance. As long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee your life."
When Bu Liren heard Ruan Mei's name, he became visibly more flustered.
He may not know the Black Tower, and may not know that Kong is the new "Traveler", but Ruan Mei, as a promoted envoy of the Xianzhou people, is also on the "blacklist" of the Fengrao people, and has a great deterrent effect on these guys who have been chased and beaten by Qing all the year round.
"...It seems that you don't want to seize the opportunity. Well, then I will tear your brain out."
Seeing that the other party was still silent, Heita ignored his muscle spasms and took out a marker with his left hand and drew a vertical line on his head.
"Oooooooh! Ugh!"
Bu Liren struggled even harder: "Confused... Confused!"
"Oh, you have the intention to communicate. That's easy."
Youla looked at him coldly, and asked according to the intimidation established by the black tower: "I see that the totem on you is different from that of other Buli people. You are a leader, right? You should know the most?"
"Cha..." The werewolf, whose pronunciation was not very clear, was stepped on by Lao Li and spurted out a cloud of smoke.
