Chapter 362: The Feiluoka That Was Pierced Through in One Night

"Get down!!"

A violent whistling sound came from overhead. Yun Mu's expression changed, and without hesitation, she tackled Iliyasi, the only ordinary person present, to the ground and shielded her underneath.

"Boom!!"

Blazing firelight instantly filled the space outside the window, and accompanied by a violent explosion, the windows of Iliyasi's Old Residence shattered instantly.

"Cough, cough... Is everyone alright?"

With ears filled with countless explosions, Yun Mu stood up and waved her hand to disperse the dust in front of her.

"I'm fine, the shell just landed outside." Brenna stood up and shook the glass shards off her body onto the floor.

"This is the city center, what are the people in the Federation doing!?" After crawling up from the ground, Lita said with an extremely angry expression.

As a former officer of the Frostfall City Guard Hall, she could not ignore what was happening before her eyes.

"Boom!!"

Another shell landed nearby; the walls of Iliyasi's Old Residence trembled, and some dust was shaken off the walls.

"Even the Energy Shield has been broken..." Xiliya's face was somewhat pale; from childhood to now, she had never seen such a scene.

"There's no time for sentiment now." Airui Laya looked up at the sky, only to see that at the edge of her vision, countless Flash Silver Fighters were flying in the air in rows.

Thinking of the use of these things on the Old Days Front, Yun Mu's expression changed instantly.

Fortunately, at this moment, the City Defense Department of Feiluoka finally reacted, and countless anti-aircraft fire rose from all over the city, shooting down a few Flash Silver Fighters.

Why say "a few"? Because compared to the dense swarm of Flash Silver Fighters in the sky, those shot down could indeed only be counted as a minority.

Considering that all units of the Old Legion were mechanical, such damage didn't count for anything at all.

And just at this moment, Airui Laya spoke up:

"The City Defense Department and the Guard Hall are nothing but dogs raised by the Federal Councilors; relying on those guys alone, it is impossible to hold off an attack of this magnitude."

"Follow me, we are going to the company to take refuge," she said.

In the Orc Federation, the organizations that truly possessed powerful military force and armies were actually the conglomerates and companies that managed every sector of the city.

As for the City Defense Department and the Guard Hall... although they were official organizations that only accepted orders from the Federal Parliament, the trust the Federal Councilors had in them was probably not even as high as that in their own privately raised soldiers.

Coupled with the severe corruption within them, counting on those guys to get things done was less reliable than imagining the Mainframe of the Old Legion suddenly exploding on its own.

Fortunately, the Huanle Intertainment Co., Ltd. controlled by Airui Laya was a top-tier giant enterprise in the Federal Capital.

From far away, Yun Mu could already see it.

In a situation where most buildings had been destroyed by shells, there were still countless high-rises standing on the city streets.

It seems these large corporate buildings all come with their own shield systems... but why does it feel a bit like they are living targets?

And being so conspicuous, aren't they afraid of being targeted? "The shield is only used to protect important personnel. The point is that we cannot have issues during the first wave of attacks; once the attack ends, we can transfer locations later."

Airui Laya seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said while walking in front.

At this time, the sound of artillery had quieted down significantly, and since those Flash Silver Fighters were all attracted to the corporate skyscrapers standing on the streets, Yun Mu and the others walked along unexpectedly smoothly.

On the way, they also encountered many Survivors. Relying on her Blood Perception ability, Yun Mu easily found people who had survived the shelling from the collapsed ruins and brought them along to the Joy Company building.

"Will we be too conspicuous like this?"

Looking at the increasingly large group behind her, Yun Mu asked with a bit of a headache.

The number of Survivors was much higher than she had imagined. If she hadn't discovered those living people, it would be one thing, but once discovered, it was very hard to ignore them.

But with so many of them, wouldn't they be even easier to target? "Don't worry." Airui Laya wore her familiar Faceless Mask in front of others; Yun Mu could only hear a hint of a smile in her voice.

Although the other party did not explain the specific reason, hearing these words still made Yun Mu feel much more at ease.

Airui Laya was a Legendary Transcendental; since she said so, there must be a way.

There was nothing to worry about.

The group continued forward and soon arrived in front of the Joy Company building.

At this moment, it was being attacked by a squad of Flash Silver Tanks and Executors, and even in the sky, there were silhouettes of armed helicopters and Flash Silver Fighters.

Yun Mu was originally a bit worried, but after discovering that those Old Legion mechanical bodies completely ignored them, she felt completely relieved.

Is this the ability of the Faceless Fool? Yun Mu couldn't help but ponder in her heart.

"Hurry and come in!"

At this moment, the main gate of Joy Company was pushed open, and Rafael raised a hand to beckon everyone over.

Yun Mu and the others hurriedly brought the Survivors inside.

"How is the situation now?" Airui Laya asked immediately upon seeing Rafael.

"There are currently no personnel casualties, the shield can probably hold for another three hours, and the transfer of personnel and supplies is already one-quarter complete." Rafael clearly had a plan ready for this and answered without any hesitation.

"Wait, you guys anticipated that the Old Legion would break through the Energy Shield?" Yun Mu listened to the two's conversation and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not." It was Rafael who answered her, and she said: "This building has a two-hundred-year history. When it was built, it only took into account situations like terrorist attacks..."

"If we had known the opponent was the Old Legion, the designer at the time should have designed it to be more violent."

"Our current weapons have no way to cause much damage to the Old Legion." She looked somewhat dissatisfied as she said the last sentence.

"They are all hundred-year-old antiques; it's good enough that they can still be used." Airui Laya was relatively satisfied with this and said: "You go and settle the Survivors; those idle underground facilities can all be utilized."

"Miss Yun and the others and I are going downstairs."

Pausing, she asked Rafael: "How is that thing coming along with the repairs?"

Hearing this, Rafael was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted.

"It has reached a usable level, but..."

"That is enough." Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Airui Laya: "Go and get busy."

"Yes."

"Everyone, please follow me." After Rafael went to handle the matter of the Survivors, Airui Laya turned to look at Yun Mu and the others.

What is 'that thing'? Yun Mu was somewhat curious, but she did not ask.

If Airui Laya wanted them to know, she would naturally explain it later.

And if the other party did not want them to know, then even asking would be useless.

The group took the elevator. Even in the current situation, the building's functions did not seem to have been interrupted. Or perhaps, was it pre-stored backup energy?

Yun Mu felt the latter possibility was higher.

"Speaking of which, the city shield shattered, was it because of insufficient power supply?" Yun Mu suddenly thought of something and asked Airui Laya.

"Of course not." Hearing her words, Airui Laya looked back: "If it were insufficient power supply, the broadcast couldn't have sounded at the very last moment."

"It must have been that it sustained pressure far exceeding the shield's limit in an instant, and thus was destroyed."

I see. Yun Mu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Is there no problem with the Magic Fountain?"

Although the Magic Fountain itself would not be damaged before its energy was exhausted, the building itself not being damaged did not affect whether it would be occupied.

The Access Card leading to the core could completely be snatched from the hands of the Federal Councilors.

Moreover, the previously deleted record was also very concerning.

This indicated that someone possessed an Access Card that was not for visitors. Thinking of this, Yun Mu felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

Airui Laya glanced at her: "In the short term, there shouldn't be any problems, but if an accident occurs, then it's hard to say."

"Saying it like that only makes people more worried!" Hearing her words, Yun Mu couldn't help but retort.

With something like this happening, how is she supposed to return to the Frost Kingdom, damn it!

Speaking of which, her cooperation with the Fire Weaver Bird Family had just begun, and just as she was about to reap the rewards, why are you, Old Legion, causing trouble, you bastard! The matter with Brenna wasn't finished either; the more she thought about it, the more exhausted she felt.

"We're here."

The elevator door in front of them suddenly opened. Airui Laya reminded them, then walked out of the elevator first.

Yun Mu hurriedly followed the other party.

"Where is this?" Yun Mu looked around; this was clearly not the place they had visited last time, but another floor.

This place looked like some kind of mechanical processing plant, and in the very center of the entire factory stood a mechanical structure that looked quite familiar.

The volume of this mechanical structure was extremely large, and it was cylindrical overall.

Yun Mu estimated its diameter to be between approximately 105 meters and 110 meters, the outermost wall was 55 meters high, and on top was a dark blue arched metal cover.

"Wait, this thing is..." Brenna seemed to recognize the mechanical structure in front of her; her pupils constricted, and her expression was very surprised.

"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking." Airui Laya walked to the front and raised her hand to press the button on the console.

Soon, a gray-black Radar rose above the mechanical structure in front of them.

And directly in front of the group, a set of metal stairs extended from the wall of the mechanical structure.

"This, this can't be..."

Yun Mu finally recalled the reason why the thing in front of her was so familiar.

Isn't this the Command Center from the Old Days Front!? Why would it appear here!?

At the same time, in the city center of Feiluoka.

Inside the Council Building, which was built in the shape of a nonagon, meaningless arguing had been going on for quite a while.

"Bang!!"

The Bear-kin Councilor wearing a white suit slammed the table hard: "What are the City Defense Army and the people from the Police Guard doing!?"

"Ah?! There are so many Old Legion mechanical bodies outside, don't tell me you didn't notice anything at all!"

"Th-this..." The stout Director of the Police Guard broke into a cold sweat and began to defend himself: "Those Old Legion mechanical bodies have mastered some kind of technology we don't know about..."

"Technology?" The Bear-kin Councilor looked at him with fierce eyes: "The Federal Parliament allocates so much research funding to you every year, yet you've been surpassed by antiques from thousands of years ago?"

"..." The Director of the Police Guard shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.

That so-called research funding had already been cut by a portion by the time it reached his hands, and he had embezzled another portion of it, with only the remainder reaching the pockets of the research department.

How could he dare to say such a thing.

Although even if he didn't say it, everyone present knew it clearly.

"Ahem." Just then, a Foxman Species Beastkin wearing gold-rimmed glasses coughed lightly and said: "Chasing accountability at a time like this won't do any of us any good."

"The top priority now is to drive those invading mechanical bodies out of our city." He paused and added: "To achieve this, the City Defense Army and the Police Guard alone are not enough."

"We must find a way to get the armed personnel of those companies to cooperate with us."

"Hmph, sounds nice, who doesn't know that this Director is your man? You old fox." A young female, also of the Foxman Species, spoke disdainfully at this moment:

"Getting those companies to cooperate with us is absolutely impossible without benefits. You don't mention it at all, are you trying to make us pay for it?"

"Everyone, now is not the time for arguing." Vivian's father, the Ninth Councilor Kuoluomajisi, looked at the scene in front of him helplessly.

With a group of vermin like this, how can the current crisis be solved?

Can't these people realize the danger? Kuoluomajisi was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Being in a Federal Parliament with this kind of structure, his own ideas could not sway everyone.

"Oh, does our Ninth Councilor have some kind of plan?" The Eighth Councilor, a Jackal-kin with a monocle and a small mustache, spoke in a disgusting tone.

"Exactly, didn't that what's-it-called... Joker Entertainment, which you cooperate with, make a huge profit from their program a few days ago?"

"Why don't you take the lead and pay to hire those companies."

"..." Kuoluomajisi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "I don't want to argue with you right now, Chaisi."

"Arguing?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just think this is the best judgment at the moment, isn't it?" The man called Chaisi shrugged his shoulders with an exaggerated gesture.

There was a reason why they were acting so 'leisurely'.

After all, the Council Building was the most heavily guarded area in the entire city, and its Magic shield was even stronger than the shield on the city's outer ring due to its size.

In a situation where the Magic Fountain could not be destroyed and the core could not be entered without an Access Card, this was the safest area... right? A burst of urgent footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door, and under the dissatisfied gazes of the councilors, a man wearing a Police Guard Uniform rushed in from outside.

"Re-report, it's bad, our control over the Magic Fountain has failed!"

"What did you say!?"

Accompanied by the sound of collisions rising one after another, the Federal Parliament hall was suddenly plunged into chaos.
