Inside the camp.
Shen Qiu and others were also waiting patiently for Beluke to come back after the meeting.
"Boss, how did you and Belluke know each other? From the first time I saw him, I felt that he seemed to be interested in you!"
Chen Ye kept looking at the stone building in the distance and asked with a sly smile.
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about?"
When it comes to this, Shen Qiu is a little skeptical about life. It's okay for girls to like him, but there are also many boys who like him, which he can't accept.
At this time, Alan came over with some canned food and mineral water and said to Shen Qiu and others.
"Please eat something first. The meeting won't end so soon."
"Thanks."
Chen Ye took the can without hesitation and squatted on the ground to open it.
"The food at the Blue Alliance is really good. The cans are full of beef."
Chen Ye opened the can and praised it.
"Eat your food. You're the one who talks the most. Remember to find a place where no one is around and eat secretly."
Shen Qiu gave a gruff instruction and then focused his attention on the troops moving around in the camp. The troops here were all equipped differently, and there was a clear difference in the equipment worn by different legions. For example, the regular troops were all wearing combat uniforms, while the troops led by Belluk were mostly wearing standard mechanical armor, and many of the tenth-level troops were wearing a mix of modular equipment.
As for the number, Shen Qiu roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of people in this camp alone. With such a large force, it was obvious that the Blue Alliance was determined to take over this alien world.
At this time, Belluke came back from the meeting, his brows were furrowed and his expression was a little solemn.
"Is the meeting over?"
"Um."
"Why is it taking so long? Did something happen?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"Nothing much. General Luo Fuan just asked about you. After learning that there was no news about you, he changed the meeting to attacking the Puppet Castle."
"oh."
"By the way, Shen Qiu, have you been doing really well recently?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Just because you destroyed the laboratory and killed Dr. Fedri, if it had been in the past, General Rovian would have never let you go and would have desperately hunted you down. But now, he just asked a question and put all his focus on clearing the Puppet City. He wants to attack the Royal City as soon as possible and conquer this world to atone for his sins."
Belluke joked with a smile.
Shen Qiu corrected Belluke with a helpless look on his face.
"Stop, correct me, it wasn't me."
"The problem is that in the eyes of General Luo Fuan, it makes no difference. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to prepare. General Luo Fuan has made a decision. Tomorrow morning, we will divide our troops into three groups to attack the Puppet Castle. I will be in charge of the left attack, Buzfa will be in charge of the right, and General Luo Fuan will be in charge of the center."
Belluke said with a smile.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he suddenly remembered something and asked Belluke curiously.
"Beluk, you seem to be at odds with that Admiral Buzfa?"
"We are very incompatible. We have never gotten along since we were young and have had many conflicts. We are also competitors. If we were to say who in the Blue Alliance has the best chance of being promoted to general, it would be the two of us."
Belluke responded lightly.
"Oh, so it's your old enemy! How about this, I'll give you a hand. If you encounter any obstacles in your attack, I'll help you solve them!"
Shen Qiu said with a smile.
"That's fine, then take a good rest today and get some rest!"
Beluk did not reject Shen Qiu's kindness. After all, he and Buzfa each led a troop to attack, and they would definitely compete secretly to see who would enter the Puppet Castle first.
"good!"
Shen Qiu nodded.
…
late at night.
Inside a red-tiled bungalow.
Shen Qiu and others lay on the mats and fell asleep with their eyes closed.
Just then, there were subtle sounds of footsteps outside the door. Shen Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He seemed to feel something and frowned slightly.
At this time, Bei Kailun also opened his eyes and looked at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu lowered his voice and spoke to Bei Kailun.
"You guys take a rest, I'm going to go out for a while."
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Bei Kailun closed his eyes.
Shen Qiu then put on his helmet and walked out of the tile-roofed house. He saw Otis standing not far away and looking at him.
Shen Qiu then walked in front of Otis. Otis did not say anything, but took Shen Qiu to a remote corner of the military camp.
Soon the two arrived at an empty corner.
"Otis, what do you want from me in the middle of the night?"
Shen Qiu asked Otis helplessly.
When Otis heard Shen Qiu's words, he replied proudly.
"Shen Qiu, I really didn't recognize the wrong person. You are so brave. After destroying the laboratory and killing people, you dare to stay here!"
"Okay, stop scaring me. If you wanted to expose me, I would have done it right away. And the attack on your lab wasn't done by me, so why should I be afraid?"
"It's really not you?"
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Humph, it's not that I don't believe it, but that thing is definitely not like your style."
"That's it, nothing else, I'm going back to sleep."
"Wait!"
"Anything else?"
"Nothing else, just teach me the ability to restrain my inner strength, and I will help you find the guy who is pretending to be you, and even help you deal with him."
Otis directly put forward his own conditions.
Shen Qiu didn't expect Otis to be so persistent, but this time he didn't refuse directly. Before, everyone was stuck at a bottleneck and the gap in strength was very small. Of course, he couldn't teach Otis the ability to restrain his strength.
But now the situation has changed, and the most important point is that he found that Otis seemed to be a good person, at least he didn't expose him before.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu said with a smile.
"It's not impossible for me to teach you. Just call me Master first and let me hear it."
"Hmph! Do you think it's possible?"
When Otis heard Shen Qiu's words, his arrogant face suddenly darkened and he immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Oh, we are leaving now, aren't we going to study anymore?"
Shen Qiu teased towards Otis's back.
"Shen Qiu, don't go too far!"
Otis stopped and looked at Shen Qiu with anger in his eyes.
Only Shen Qiu dared to say this to him. If someone else had said it, Otis would have blasted it into pieces.
"Is that too much? You call me Master and I get a secret technique! How about I call you and you teach me?"
"you… "
"Haha, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Come here and I'll teach you."
Shen Qiu said to Otis.
When Otis heard Shen Qiu's words, a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he looked at Shen Qiu with a little disbelief.
"You really want to teach me?"
"You don't want to learn, right? Forget it, I'm leaving."
Shen Qiu said this and was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait! Who said I don't learn?"
Otis immediately called out to Shen Qiu.
"Okay, but let me make a deal first. If I teach you that move, you owe me a favor."
Shen Qiu then stopped and said to Otis with a smile.
"no problem."
"Let's go, then."
"Where are you going?"
Otis looked at Shen Qiu with some confusion.
"This is our base. I don't care what you say. If you release a little bit of power and get seen by others, you will be beaten up soon. Let's find a place where there are no people."
“I know the right place.”
"Let's go, then."
Shen Qiu waved his hand decisively, and the two of them left.
…
The next morning.
The soldiers of the Vulture Legion lined up neatly.
Chen Ye turned his head and looked around, asking in confusion.
"Bekelun, where's the boss?"
"There."
Bei Kailun pointed casually into the distance and saw Shen Qiu striding towards him.
"Where have you been, boss? I didn't see you this early in the morning."
Chen Ye asked curiously.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
Shen Qiu replied, yawning.
At this time, Belluk waved his hand and gave the order in a solemn tone.
"Everyone, follow me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers at the scene responded with high morale.
Beluk then led his 8,000-strong vulture army out of the camp. At the same time, General Roffian and others also led their troops away.
Soon after, Belluk led his troops to the left wing area, Walnut Street.
The entire Walnut Street is about 30 meters wide. The ground is paved with neat bluestones, and there are two- or three-story red-tiled buildings on both sides.
A gust of wind blew by, and the whole street was empty, with only scattered fallen leaves being blown.
"stop!"
At this time, Belluk raised his head and signaled the troops to stop.
At this moment, a figure wearing a high collar and clothes with circle patterns on the surface was seen staggering out of the houses and alleys.
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and observed carefully. These figures were all humanoid puppets. They looked no different from real people, with real human skin, hair, and nails on their surfaces, but their joints were not so flexible and moved strangely. In addition, Shen Qiu also noticed that the chests of these humanoid puppets were embedded with circular gene modules of different colors.
Buzz~
At this moment, Shen Qiu's bracelet vibrated and he looked down.
"Puppet doll, atomic wave reaction 875, judgment level LV2."
"Elite puppet doll, atomic wave reaction 2541, judgment level LV3."
…
These puppet dolls that appeared did not attack Belluk and the others, but stood motionless on the street.
Belluk did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he raised his bracelet to check the time. There were still five minutes until nine o'clock.
He waited quietly until the time showed nine o'clock.
Upon seeing this, Belluke waved his hand and gave an order.
"kill!"
Bang Bang
Suddenly, one by one the vulture soldiers raised their guns and launched a fierce fire attack on these humanoid puppets.
The puppet doll, which was originally moving crookedly, seemed to be triggered by a switch at this moment.
Their eyes lit up and they quickly dodged the fire attacks and rushed over.
Because the Vulture Legion's firepower was extremely fierce and intensive, many of the attacking puppet dolls were hit and holes were made on their bodies.
However, these puppets have extremely strong vitality and will not fall down unless they are hit in vital parts or their limbs are severely damaged.
At the same time, after these puppet dolls shortened the distance, different colored circuits lit up on their bodies, releasing various abilities to bombard the soldiers of the Vulture Legion.
"Thunder ball!"
"Fire shock!"
…
On the Vulture Legion's side, an Earth-type awakener slapped the ground with one hand, and rock walls rose up to block the attack of the Puppet Legion.
At this time, the puppet dolls popped out sharp blades from their hands, climbed over the rock wall at an extremely fast speed, and jumped down.
The soldiers of the Vulture Legion showed no fear at all. They drew out their alloy blades and rushed forward to fight.
Soon, the puppet dolls were killed one by one.
At the same time, there were continuous explosions in the distance, indicating that the other two troops had also launched attacks.
"go ahead!"
Belluk gave the order after a while.
The entire vulture army advanced forward in an orderly manner.
Shen Qiu and his companions quietly followed Belluk and his companions and watched the battle.
Time passed little by little, and although Belluk's troops were constantly blocked by puppet monsters, they were unable to stop his steps at all.
"Boss, these puppet monsters are annoying, but they don't seem to be that difficult to kill."
Chen Ye looked at the advancing Vulture Legion and chatted with Shen Qiu in a low voice.
"It's not that simple. If it were that easy, the Puppet City would have been razed to the ground long ago."
Shen Qiu said disapprovingly.
"The problem is that I haven't seen any stronger puppet monsters."
Chen Ye had just finished speaking.
With a loud bang, a huge explosion occurred in a house in front, directly blowing the vanguard troops away.
Beluk's expression changed and he looked over, only to see a seven-meter-tall, ferocious puppet monster emerge. It had a centipede-like body, mantis tentacles, a scorpion head, and a human face.
"It's a puppet stitching monster!"
When Alan saw the monster suddenly appear, he was about to give the order to concentrate fire on it.
The walls of the buildings in front began to shatter, and puppet monsters of different shapes and forms emerged.
Belluk narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, giving orders via the radio.
"The vanguard troops retreat, the mechanical troops move in!"
Following Belluk's order, the soldiers who had led the way retreated one after another, followed by artillery shells and rockets fired one after another.
Instantly cover those puppet stitched monsters indiscriminately.
Boom!
A huge chain of explosions occurred.
But even so, it only caused partial damage to these puppet-stitched monsters, and one by one the puppet-stitched monsters rushed out from the explosion.
At this time, a number of Greedy Wolf mechas passed by Shen Qiu and others, collided with these puppet stitched monsters, and started fighting.
Belluk was not idle either. He pulled out a red sword embedded with a P2 diamond-grade atomic module, rushed forward with all his strength, and slashed with the sword.
Snap!
The arm of a puppet stitched monster was directly removed.
Seeing this, Alan and others also rushed forward.
"Boss, should we go?"
Chen Ye asked while hiding behind Shen Qiu.
"No, we don't need to take any action on things they can solve. We can just watch quietly."
Shen Qiu watched the fight between Beluk and the others calmly.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Vulture Legion led by Belluk is indeed very strong. Even when faced with such strong obstruction, they continue to kill forward.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Belluk would definitely not choose to attack by force.
He would use various means to clean up the mess bit by bit, which would reduce most casualties. But there was a big drawback, which was that it would take a lot of time.
What Belluk lacks most right now is time, because General Rovian and his men have already charged forward with all their might, and he must keep up with the pace of the troops in the middle.
"Boss, the Blue Alliance's troops are quite capable. But I noticed that more and more puppets seem to have been alarmed, and the number is at least tens of thousands."
Chen Ye watched the Vulture Legion fighting and couldn't help but remind them.
"Leave it to them. I think they can handle it."
"Wouldn't it be too obvious to slack off like this?"
"What's the matter? Isn't it good to have nothing to do? You still want to show off your skills."
Shen Qiu gave Chen Ye a displeased look.
"That's right, Chen Ye is a bad guy."
Angie popped her head out and echoed.
Shen Qiu quickly reached out and pushed Angie back, speaking in a low voice.
"Anji, don't make a fuss. There are too many people here. Just stay put."
"All right!"
Angie responded in a bored manner.
Shen Qiu sighed slightly and watched quietly as Belluk and others fought hard with the puppet monsters.
In the blink of an eye, more than seven hours had passed and it was almost dusk.
At this time, the troops led by Belluk had already reached the vicinity of the Puppet Castle. The ground along the way was littered with the remains of broken puppets. Now, as long as they raised their heads, they could see the magnificent Puppet Castle in the distance.
However, at this moment, Belluk stopped again.
Shen Qiu and his companions looked over curiously, only to see a lonely figure standing on the street ahead.
She was a very cute girl wearing a red lace skirt with a red bow tied around her neck. She raised her delicate face, pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, and saluted Shen Qiu and the others.
Her action immediately made Belluke and others feel a chill in their hearts.
In this puppet city, the more anthropomorphic the puppets are, the stronger their combat power is.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Alan reminded Belluk.
"Sister Ailan, what are you afraid of? She is alone, how can she stop us?"
Bertha replied proudly.
As soon as Bertha finished speaking, a number of puppet dolls and puppet stitched monsters appeared on the roof of the house behind the beautiful loli puppet, the number of which was at least thousands.
“Don’t be careless!”
Belluke reminded in a deep voice.
At this time, the loli puppet raised her hand and waved!
Many puppets suddenly made a crackling sound and then rushed up.
Seeing this, Rim burst out with strength and pressed his hands to the ground.
"Sharp Stone Piercing!"
Click!
Sharp stone spikes pierced through it.
The loli puppet nimbly dodged the protruding stone cones, as if the stone cones were cooperating with it.
At this moment Bertha sank into the air like a shadow.
The next second, she emerged from the shadow behind the loli puppet and attacked the loli puppet with the poisoned dagger in her hand.
At this time, the loli puppet's head turned and its eyes looked directly at Bertha.
"Bertha be careful."
Alan's face changed slightly as he reminded her.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The loli puppet turned its left hand over, and used its long spikes to block Bertha's attack, while the spikes on its right hand attacked Bertha's face.
Beluk's muscles swelled, his energy burst out, and he rushed towards the loli puppet at an extremely fast speed, slashing it down with a sharp sword.
At this time, the loli puppet sensed the danger and decisively abandoned Bertha. It just burst out with strength and swept her away, then reversed its limbs to block again.
Click!
With sparks flying.
Belluk's attack was blocked.
Belluke was also very surprised. How could this little puppet be so powerful? How could it take his blow so easily
At this moment, the Loli Puppet raised her head and looked at Belluk. A P2-level diamond-grade bloodline gene module embedded in her chest lit up, and her eyes lit up with a red halo.
Belluke suddenly felt the blood in his body surge uncontrollably, and his strength suddenly became chaotic.
At this time, the loli puppet burst out with power, bounced off Beluk's sword, and swept towards Beluk fiercely.
Belluk immediately stepped back hastily to dodge.
Snap!
A small cut was made on the arm, resulting in blood gushing out and the wound being torn further.
“Damn it!”
Beluk's expression suddenly darkened, and the loli puppet advanced further and launched a fierce attack on him.
For a moment, Beluk was at a disadvantage.
Bei Kairen looked at Beluk's fight and said to Shen Qiu with a sly smile.
"Captain, they seem to be in trouble. That loli puppet is not that easy to kill."
Shen Qiu also realized that the puppet was very tricky. Of course, it was not that Shen Qiu did not believe in the strength of Beluk and the others. It was just that under normal circumstances, it would probably take a lot of effort for Beluk and the others to take her down.
At this time Chen Ye also came over and asked with a smile.
"Boss, show us your skills?"
Shen Qiu glanced at Chen Ye, then said to Bei Kailun.
"Bekelun, help me control her. Just give me half a second."
"no problem."
Bei Kairen gave a sinister smile and then turned into a shadow and disappeared.
Just when Beluk was fighting with the loli puppet, Beikelen suddenly emerged from the shadow behind the puppet.
At this time, the loli puppet sensed something was wrong, and a red halo burst out from its body, releasing its ability and blood surging.
In an instant, the blood flow in Belluk and Beikelen's bodies reversed.
However, Beikelen had already been prepared. His whole body turned into shadow and attached himself directly to the loli puppet from behind.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Attachment!"
At this moment, Shen Qiu's hands were also flashing with terrifying blue lightning, and then they attacked like an afterimage.
The loli puppet struggled desperately, but all the joints in its body seemed to be stuck.
Click!
The Abyss in Shen Qiu's hand directly penetrated into the head of the loli puppet.
He released his power instantly, and blue lightning burst out from the abyss.
boom!
The loli puppet's head exploded instantly, and the remaining body shattered into pieces.
When Belluke saw this scene, he felt even more depressed. He could see that Shen Qiu was suppressing his strength. But even so, the strength and fighting skills he showed were incomparably outstanding.
Beluke felt even more deeply the gap between himself and Shen Qiu.
"Don't just stand there, go and deal with the other puppets. If you delay any longer, you might be the last one to arrive."
Shen Qiu said to Belluke with a smile.
"I see."
Belluke responded with a self-deprecating smile.
However, at this moment, the puppet castle in the distance suddenly exploded.
The sudden change made Shen Qiu and others change their faces. They turned their heads to look over and saw an extremely shocking scene.
In the distance, purple lightning as thick as a bucket was seen running around in the Puppet Castle. A terrifying column of lightning shot straight into the sky, and the purple lightning spread out layer by layer like a halo.
In an instant, the entire Puppet City was as bright as day, extremely dazzling.
"this… "
Chen Ye and others' eyes almost popped out.
Shen Qiu's face changed slightly, and he murmured as he felt the familiar yet unfamiliar power fluctuations.
"Found it! Let's go!"
Bei Kailun, Tang Kexin, and Chen Ye immediately followed Shen Qiu and rushed towards the Puppet Castle.
Belluk saw this and immediately gave orders to Rim.
"Rim, you take some people and stay here, and the rest of you follow me."
