They directly slaughtered nearly half of the soldiers, civil officials, and various low-level military officers. They were like discipline inspection teams or battlefield rear supervisors. Under their brutal rule, the army became docile.
So everyone immediately piloted the humanoid mechs to retreat, assuming battle positions.
Launch towers erected from the backs of the mechs, and a white missile was loaded.
When everyone pressed the red button.
The missile spewed golden-red flames, shooting out from behind the mechs, aiming directly at Alice and Katerina and the others.
Intending to keep them all in this moment.
The missileâs speed was extremely fast!
It reached supersonic cruise in such a short time.
âTheyâŚâ
Katerina stared at the roaring incoming missile, her expression dazed. Before she could finish speaking, the missile was right in front of her eyes.
Boom!!!
Then came a violent explosion.
The ground shook as if a severe earthquake had occurred. Even the huge humanoid mechs felt intense tremors, almost losing balance and falling over.
They used several thermobaric bombs.
Therefore, the power was even greater. Even ants could hardly escape the missileâs attack, dying and turning to ashes even if hidden several feet underground.
It almost created a vacuum zone.
The explosion also produced a violent mushroom cloud.
The battlefield was engulfed in thick smoke, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
After the shock wave from the missile passed, many pilots shook their heads, recovering from the concussion, and then said, âThey should have turned to ashes, right?â
âItâs impossible to survive. This is a thermobaric bomb, Sky Cityâs precious weapon,â another pilot said.
No one was optimistic about Aliceâs chances of survival.
When the smoke cleared.
The scene before them stunned everyone.
They saw a huge hemispherical fortress made of stacked metal doors, standing lonely there.
The surface of this metal fortress showed a large amount of molten iron lava melted by high temperatures, constantly falling from the metal fortress, emitting scalding steam.
Finally unable to withstand the heat invasion, the metal fortress collapsed, turning into a card in the next moment.
But the people inside were unharmed.
Whether it was Alice or Katerina, they were still standing there alive, except that a man had appeared between them.
âHow is this possible?â
Seeing this scene, the commander showed an expression of disbelief.
There was clearly nothing there before.
How could a metal fortress suddenly appear during the explosion? It was puzzling and inexplicable.
What was even harder for them to accept was that Alice had not been killed, and their mission had not been completed.
Luo Sheng stood between Alice and Katerina.This story is hosted at novelping(.)com.
He said to them, âAlright, stop these meaningless battles.â
âWhy should I trust you?â Katerina looked at him with vigilant eyes.
Although he had just saved her, he was still one of Katerinaâs enemies.
âBecause the alliance army behind you wants to destroy Alice and you along with her. Isnât this situation enough for us to talk?â
Luo Sheng pointed at the humanoid mechs that were preparing to launch missiles again and said to Katerina.
His current approach was not to let Alice and Katerina continue fighting to the death.
Instead, he wanted to stop the battle between both sides first.
Especially, Luo Sheng recalled one of ăKaterinaă enhancement options: â˘Katerina feels confused about the alliance of Sky City, she has different thoughts.
He knew that Katerina had already developed cracks in her loyalty to the alliance.
Plus the recent missile attack, these alliance troops were willing to sacrifice Katerina to kill Alice, directly widening these cracks.
Katerina stared into his eyes.
Recalling the backstabbing she had just suffered.
After hesitating for a while, she said, âHow do you want to talk?â
âFor one hour, none of us four here are allowed to attack each other. After this time passes, you can do whatever you want.â
Luo Sheng said, taking a step back.
Of course, he also kept his guard up.
âHmmâŚâ Katerina fell into deep thought.
The No. 2 modified girl beside her gently tapped her arm, âKaterinaâŚâ
She was reminding Katerina not to agree.
But Katerina said something she couldnât refute: âHeâs right, the alliance didnât intend to spare us. If it werenât for his protection, weâd be dead by now.â
No. 2 modified girl: ââŚâ
Then Katerina said to Luo Sheng: âI agree, but the current situationâŚâ
As she spoke, she glanced not only at the humanoid mechs moving away from them but also implied that even if she agreed, the alliance troops wouldnât agree. They would eliminate everyone.
âThis is simple, and your words just now have already taken effect,â Luo Sheng suddenly took out a glowing card.
It was his rule card â ăHeavenâs Oathă
The moment Katerina agreed to his proposal, the Heavenâs Oath was activated, meaning that the four people present couldnât attack each other for this one hour.
Of course, this only applied to the four of them not attacking each other.
This didnât include the allianceâs humanoid mechs; they were outside of the four, so the Heavenâs Oath wouldnât affect them.
âNow, no matter what, youâve already agreed to this,â Luo Sheng said to her.
Katerinaâs eyes were full of confusion.
Because she felt Luo Sheng was being presumptuous.
She hadnât finished speaking, yet he not only interrupted her but also confirmed that she had fully agreed. This made her feel uncomfortable.
What did he mean by âyouâve already agreed to thisâ?Get faster updates on novelping(.)com.
Just as Katerina was about to further question, Luo Sheng said to her, âSorry, now is not a good time to talk, so please wait a moment. Iâll go clear out those who are disturbing us first.â
As soon as he finished speaking.
Several cards lit up.
The ăExperimental Mechaă that Luo Sheng often used covered his body, followed by six Silver 1-star ăMilitary Mechasă.
Suddenly, numerous Iron Man-like figures appeared on the battlefield.
These were all cards Luo Sheng had obtained in Mechanical City. He had been reluctant to sell them before, wanting to see what miracles might happen in ăAliceă world.
There was also a Relic Hunter, which appeared behind Luo Sheng.
When Luo Sheng summoned these cards, Katerina and the No. 2 girl stared at him vigilantly.
They had originally agreed to talk.
But suddenly, so many powerful weapons appeared.
It felt like it wasnât a real negotiation, but just buying time.
Just as Katerina was about to question again.
Luo Sheng suddenly leaped into the air, and the mecha cards he had summoned also lit up with blue light, starting up automatically, then flying towards different humanoid mechs according to his orders.
Boom!!!
Explosions erupted one after another.
Especially the Relic Hunter, using rockets to target the allianceâs humanoid mechs one by one.
Katerinaâs face immediately turned green.
She now understood that when Luo Sheng said âclean up,â he meant eliminating the alliance troops.
Katerina herself was originally part of the alliance troops, and now watching Luo Sheng destroy the alliance troops like sweeping away dry weeds, she felt extremely depressed. After all, no matter what, she was still a part of the alliance troops.
Moreover, if the alliance troops were destroyed, but she stayed behind to negotiate with the rebels, it meant that the alliance would have reason to suspect whether she had already betrayed them.
âDamn you, are you treating us like we donât exist?â Katerina shouted angrily.
Even the No. 2 mechanical maiden looked ready to fight.
She raised the large gun in her hand, planning to shoot Luo Sheng down.
Before Alice could stop them.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a purple lightning bolt struck the No. 2 mechanical maiden directly.
Boom!!!
The rolling thunder was deafening.
The No. 2 mechanical maidenâs entire body was smoking, with numerous electrical arcs flashing across her mechanical body, emitting dazzling light. She collapsed to the ground, completely unable to continue fighting.
Katerina was stunned for a moment.
Just as she was about to attack Luo Sheng, the next moment, a lightning bolt struck her as well.
It instantly made her whole body go numb, almost fainting. The feeling of being struck by lightning was terrifying. Even with her mechanical body, she couldnât help but tremble.
âWhy is this happening?â
Katerina exclaimed in shock.
