If his personal strength was not limited, he would even want to go alone.
[The Black Tower is also going to participate in the attack on the square? ]
[If it's positive... maybe we just need to hold them back. ]
Kong looked back at the evil star's eyes floating above Paimon's head, as well as Kama's spirit child, and felt that even if he made mistakes or was a bad player, he would not get stuck with the help of the big boss.
Compared with the challenges faced by the high-end forces on the train, Bronya's main pressure is focused on whether she can minimize casualties, let more people witness her capture of the square and the main gate of Kburg, and force her mother to stand up.
Of course, if Cocolia gave up the ruling power under the manipulation of the Star Core and chose to preserve herself and the Star Core, it would be the best development. They would not have to expand the intensity of the urban battle, which would be beneficial to Ban Ya's promotion...
[…Sora, didn’t you agree to let me participate as well? ]
Just as Sora was imagining the wonderful scene of tying up all the Bu Liren and applauding enthusiastically under Bronya's podium, the impatient voice of the rich little woman sounded on the public channel:
[Titan can't wait any longer! ]
[Miss... don't cause trouble to Brother Kong... I'll be there for you. ]
[Alan, what's wrong with you? I'm planning to cover them from the flank, isn't that okay? ]
Kong listened to the pink-haired girl's words "Zhan Dou, so cool!" and tilted his head, thinking about the light cone he gave to the little rich woman... As expected, the sequelae occurred when they shouldn't have occurred.
She is probably also imagining herself climbing walls and flying over rooftops... But unfortunately, the north of the city is a desolate wilderness with vast plains and hills, and there are very few shelters.
[Esther, if the situation gets out of control, I will ask you to come down.]
[Hmm? Why does it have to be out of control...? ]
[Because then we can "watch shooting stars together."] Sora said this in a more euphemistic way.
[…Hey, do you really dislike my tactical skills…]
【Miss...】Alan was still persuading.
[Okay, okay, I get it. Anyway, the authority to call is in your hands, so it’s up to you.]
After saying this, she returned to the astronomical observation position on the train in a huff.
[…Maybe it’s a bit inappropriate at this time, but boss, my team and I are ready and waiting for your order. We have invested a lot of gold this time, and we can’t let these wolf-headed people ruin the increase.]
As Esta hung up, Topa reminded her in a weak voice.
[Just hold on to the lower level area and don't get ambushed. If the battlefield moves, I'll notify you immediately.]
【Good boss.】
"Huh... you're all so keen on fighting, it's a bit hard for me to make arrangements."
After going through everything again, Kong sighed in frustration.
He was so active not only because he was concerned about the fate of Bay City, but also because he had to save it from the aliens and the tyrants immediately...
It was because of the cold yet realistic task prompts from his own system.
[Weekly Task: Defeat the "Mother of Illusion" and receive 33% of the ticket processing progress]
[Daily Task: Defeat an Arbitrator or Police Officer, and receive 3% of the ticket processing progress]
There is always something fishy behind all overly positive things... Sora is no exception, but he is very curious about the "Mother of Illusion" mentioned in Party A's mission...whether it refers to Cocolia.
If that's the case...if a battle breaks out in the main city, they'll probably have to rush back for support quickly.
304. Kill, kill, kill
On the back of Yalilo VI, far away from Beloberg, below the Horde orbital forces -
A graceful woman seemed to ignore the freezing temperature that was much colder than the other side of the long day. She picked up a small teacup from the round table, melted the plum cake in her mouth with the warm tea, and raised her head slightly to admire the giant beasts flying in the sky:
"Like falling leaves dancing with the foam."
Reflected in her blue and plum eyes were the flashes of the beasts' tail nozzles and tentacles. She recalled her encounter with those ancient creatures and the first stop of her journey to pay homage to the Star God, which seemed to be in this land of ice and snow.
But now is different from the past. In her eyes, the herd of animals that Bu Liren has changed from mysterious creatures to samples with some research value.
"Yeah, if we knock them all down, won't they just become fallen leaves?"
The black tower beside her still had that perpetually impatient expression on his face, and he was quite critical of Ruan Meiqiong's elaborate tea party:
"Which one have you taken a fancy to? Let me help you think of a solution. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that we will be able to collect enough samples when we start."
"I'm just a little interested. Similar mutations can be iterated through my test subjects many times to achieve similar biological functions. What I need is an irreplaceable, unique specimen... a one-of-a-kind specimen."
"...Why don't you just say you want to steal my man?"
"From an ethical point of view, yes, from a social point of view, no."
Having reached a settlement with the Black Tower and now being able to joke, Ruan Mei stopped observing the herd and chuckled as she looked at her old friend: "... You really don't want some cookies?"
"This doll is for combat, and it doesn't have a somatosensory sharing link."
Heita flicked his hair and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the station... By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you track and locate the anchor point of the void? I don't believe that you are ahead of me in studying the star core."
"…through the cortex that Dr. Kong dropped. The genes cannot be extracted, and the mitochondria will continue to break and reassemble. However, the body tissue separated from his main body has strong regenerative properties and can sense other still active tissues remotely, so the inactivation time is very long."
Ruan Mei didn't hide it from Heita - after all, this might disturb Kong and her related technology.
"I'm not sure if Bu Liren and the Arbitrator will use similar methods to locate him... but you should do a good job of cleaning up the 'organization'. The last sample has been used up, and the material for this tracking was obtained from your puppet."
"...Hmm? But I only do experiments with fixed dolls with Kong - Oh! You cheated me!" Heita just blurted out a few words, then immediately pinched his waist and glanced at Ruan Mei.
“Not a surprising answer.”
Ruan Mei took another sip: "This is not a trick, Heita, I know you want to show off to me."
"This is the first union of ours in the Genius Club, right? Why can't we show it off?"
“Because it piques my interest.”
Ruan Mei calmly said something quite scary:
"…It made me determined to build a good relationship with him."
"You."
Heita snorted. She knew very well that even if she didn't provoke Ruan Mei, the other party would definitely attack her secretly. In that case, why not say a few words to vent her anger in advance?
"...Why are you so slow? Bu Liren won't discover your trap, right?"
After ending this unpleasant topic, Heita became more and more annoyed with the giant beasts floating in orbit.
"They don't have that ability. It could just be the Riddler or the Arbiter who has returned—ah."
Ruan Mei put down the tea set, and in the distance a blue-green flame also hung down from the sky.
"here we go."
……
[Air - The Buli beasts are moving, the pulse engine is accelerating to escape the gravitational field, they are going to attack Beloberg! ]
The moment Ji Zi's reminder flashed by, a high-energy reaction warning sounded above Gu Pang's head -
Just as the skyfire descended on the Guardian Square that day, Bu Liren’s orbital strike still arrived.
But they risked a head-on collision with the train and only launched a round of bombing on the northern snowfield instead of trying to attack the western city defense line, which left Kong and his group puzzled when they saw the beam of light.
For a moment, Sora thought the enemy was going to bomb his vehicle, and was ready to trick it into locking onto him and firing at him, but the impact point was too far away.
"What's going on? They invested so much firepower and manpower, and even pretended to attack head-on. Are they really just trying to divert us and launch a surprise attack on the Seventh Regiment?"
The rising mushroom cloud might seem quite "powerful" in the eyes of people who have not seen much of the world, but against Kama and others in the air, it is no different from a large firecracker.
What they don't understand is that, to this day, the Seventh Regiment has only sided with Bronya and has not officially joined their rotation system. Although the liaison officer has entered the West City District, the flag representing the command has not been handed over to the Guardian agent in time, and the work of opening the warning zone is still in the process of adjustment.
Regardless of the location of such a force without Rangers and equipped with heavy weapons, its direct threat to Kburg is not that high. It is still at the level of being able to help the duck but being useless in combat.
The shield switch of Bay City was not seized by the Silver Wolf. If Cocolia wanted the werewolf orbit to attack the West City District synchronously with the ground, she could try to turn off the shield and let the firecrackers fall on Jeppard's head. Could it be that Bu Liren discovered the creation engines hidden in the Pillars of Creation and did not want the Seventh Regiment to activate them?
Cocolia wants to eliminate the fence-sitter first?
Apart from this, the only other excuse left is this ridiculous excuse: "Bu Liren holds a grudge and must seek revenge from the Seventh Regiment's defense line."
As Kong pushed the Fat Man's speed to its maximum and plunged into the snowfield under the shockwaves of the orbital bombardment, the shadow above Paimon suddenly emerged from the Pure Land and pressed against his back, trying to dispel Kong's doubts:
"Don't think too much about it. The Great Guardian helped us create the incident that started the war - we just need to fight back."
There was lightning flashing in the eyes of the shadow, and his speech was a bit warlike, but the reason of "legitimate defense" was delivered to the door, and the loss was still the Seventh Regiment, which was not close to Bronya...
Forget it, let’s just assume that Bu Liren and Cocolia underestimated the enemy... As for whether the arbitrators who served as advisors to the other side raised any objections, we can only investigate further later.
[Noshiro, can the sighting lock onto the enemy fleet? ]
[Already within range! ]
[They opened fire first—shoot! No mercy!]
The hot wind blew across Carl's fuselage, causing Eula to squint her eyes at first, and then the rising, half-melted mist brought a cool feeling to her body, making her shiver comfortably, and look up more energetically at the battle that suddenly broke out above the zenith.
Green turbo lasers and indigo positron cannons flashed across half the sky with flashes far brighter than meteors. Perhaps their power was not enough to cover the entire sky, or perhaps the star core's goal had shifted from hiding its own evil layout to the front battlefield. All the Beloberg parties involved, including Eula, were able to see a glimpse of the splendor of that small-scale cosmic war.
The two cruisers fired at the same time, and the red particle stream from Ji Zi's orbital cannon sank into Bu Liren's group of beasts, sweeping at least seven battleships guarding the beast ships into circular flashes.
But immediately after that small explosion, one of the super-large beast ships, which was large enough to cover one-fifth of the area of Bay City, turned into a green sun in the air.
At a speed that the train crew had not expected, its biological core expanded and exploded, and its tentacles flew apart, turning into fireworks brighter than the sun on the track. Even the kitchen staff saw it.
"Wow."
The moment the huge heat reaction disappeared, Sora whistled:
[Bullseye, girls!]
[I'm very sorry, Commander. Although we hit the target, it doesn't seem to be the damage we caused by hitting the enemy ship's power cabin.]
[Hmm? What about Himeko? Did you hit her? ]
[It's not me either - it's impossible to penetrate the shield of the beast ship with just the railgun. ]
[Maid Head, keep suppressing them with firepower. They are in chaos! ]
Noshiro's voice suddenly rose. Regardless of whether this round of attack was due to good luck or the opponent's failure to defend in time, the balance of the battle suddenly tilted towards them.
While the girls continued to deal with the orbital forces in confusion but excitement, Ruan Mei, who could no longer see the beasts but could still enjoy the holographic images transmitted back by the black tower puppet, picked up her teacup again and enjoyed it leisurely:
“It’s not clear whether the arbitrators will stick to the principle of stopping at the right time, but this is the club’s attitude.”
