Chapter 362: You Have Already Been Surrounded By Us

Inner City High-Level Conference Building.

After seeing the Noble District razed to the ground by several powerful energy fluctuations, Cai Xiangliang swallowed hard with a pale face, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"What... what happened there? Why did it turn out like this!"

"Sir, the power of these fluctuations is simply too strong. Let's retreat first; this place won't be taken anytime soon."

A Noble Private Army soldier ran up to Cai Xiangliang and said.

Cai Xiangliang looked at the building in front of him with a complex expression; even though he was ten thousand times unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.

The power from just a moment ago had already left Cai Xiangliang trembling all over. Although he didn't know what had happened in the Noble District, the only thing Cai Xiangliang was grateful for was that he had escaped this disaster because he had led his private army to find Jack.

"Then let's retreat for now and rendezvous with the other units first."

"Yes!"

Soon, the order to retreat reached the ears of those Noble Private Army soldiers who were hesitating whether to continue the attack. Upon hearing this news, these Noble Private Army soldiers acted as if they had heard the sound of heaven and quickly began to retreat.

The Catachan toughs inside the building saw this and did not let this excellent opportunity slip by. They extended their Laser Guns out of the windows and fired a volley at the Noble Private Army soldiers below, leaving behind more than twenty corpses of these heretics before departing the area.

"Damn it, they actually retreated, what a damn shame!"

A Catachan tough simply bandaged the bleeding wound on his arm; for them, such a wound was a minor injury and not worth worrying about.

"Looks like it. It should be related to those few energy fluctuations from just now."

The Viterian Sergeant led his team up the stairs and, hearing the Catachan tough's grumbling, spoke to analyze the situation.

"Yes, this power is very strong. We should take the target and move out of here first, lest those heretics come back."

The Cadian Sergeant brought Jack downstairs and, hearing the soldiers chatting, spoke up.

"Hahaha, damn it, if they dare to come back, I'll let them taste my big baby!"

Upon hearing the Cadian Sergeant's words, a Catachan tough laughed loudly and took the opportunity to hoist the Flamer in his hands.

"However, our primary task is to ensure the safety of the mission target and ensure the mission target does not suffer any harm. The Emperor has entrusted us with a heavy responsibility; this is the very moment to witness our Loyalty!"

The Viterian Sergeant nodded and looked at Jack behind the Cadian Sergeant. At this moment, Jack was once again shocked by this group of well-trained soldiers.

The number of those Noble Private Army soldiers outside was not small, yet these squads of soldiers added up to no more than 50 people. They had actually held the line without suffering any losses?

"Mr. Jack, please come with us. Those heretics outside have retreated for the time being. Let's withdraw to a safer place first."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

Upon hearing the Cadian Sergeant's words, Jack did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

"Fine, damn it, we'll go ahead and scout the path."

The Catachan Sergeant wearing a hat saw this, shrugged his shoulders, and led his team out of the High-Level Conference Building to check the situation outside.

After confirming there was no danger outside, the Cadian Squad and Vittorian Squad escorted Jack in the middle and cautiously walked out of the High-Level Conference Building.

Looking at the scene where there wasn't a single intact corpse at the main entrance, Jack couldn't help but swallow hard. He dared not imagine what his fate would have been if he hadn't had these soldiers provided by Yingzhou to protect him.

He couldn't believe those nobles actually dared to rebel. What on earth was that guy Pu Lie doing? Could it be that he was still standing on the side of the nobles, which was why he withdrew the City Defense troops when the Noble Private Army came to find him?

Thinking of this, Jack rubbed his receding hairline in distress. With things turned into such a mess, the Ninth Defense Zone was very likely to be exploited by the Alien Race. Once he met Yingzhou, he would ask him if he had any solutions.

After Cai Xiangliang left the High-Level Conference Building with the Noble Private Army, he met up with the troops of Karl and Wu Enda one after another; Cai Xiangliang felt somewhat puzzled.

He had clearly left the easiest position for his son, so why was Cai Ji's unit still nowhere to be seen? And the other unit—he had told them to attack the Research Institute; was the Research Institute that hard to take down?

"Uncle Cai, what exactly happened in the Noble District?"

Karl was currently very glad that he had left the Noble District with Cai Ji; otherwise, he would probably have become a corpse by now, right?

"I'm not sure. I only know that several powerful energy fluctuations erupted there. I had no choice but to abandon the plan to attack the High-Level Conference Building and find you all first to confirm the progress of the plan."

Just as the few were chatting, Karl saw two sturdy men about 2.4 meters tall in the plaza ahead, wearing silver-white Armor and holding melee weapons, walking toward them.

"Uncle Cai, their appearance—it seems I've never seen them before. Is there such a person in the Inner City?"

Karl pointed at the two figures in the distance and asked Cai Xiangliang beside him.

Cai Xiangliang looked in the direction Karl was pointing, shook his head, and spoke.

"I haven't seen them. However, according to intelligence reports, it seems Yingzhou's height is 3 meters. Could these two be Yingzhou's soldiers?"

"Very likely. But two of them? Isn't that looking down on us too much? We have so many people, can we really not beat the two of them? I haven't seen the equipment on their bodies before; is it their own?"

"Forget it. Take them out, and you can play with the weapons and equipment on them however you like."

Cai Xiangliang waved his hand dismissively, brought the team to a halt, and prepared to ask what those two soldiers wanted.

Taigehe'er saw this armed force stop and spoke to Dabeiwenqiao beside him.

"Dabeiwenqiao, they've stopped and show no signs of attacking. Should we still strike directly?"

"Warn them first. It would be best if they surrender. The Emperor should have already thought of how to deal with them; we just need to follow the Emperor's will."

Hearing Dabeiwenqiao say this, Taigehe'er had no choice but to lower the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd he had just raised. Recalling the surrender-persuasion words Yingzhou had taught him before, he organized his vocabulary and, through the loudspeaker device of his Holy Shield Power Armor, shouted loudly at the force in front.

"Heretics ahead! You have already been surrounded by us! Lay down your weapons and surrender to the Emperor, and we shall spare your lives. If you dare to resist, there will be no mercy!"

However, what awaited Taigehe'er was silence, followed by the group of armed heretics laughing loudly; Taigehe'er heard it very clearly.

"Surrounded? Hahaha!"

"There are only two of you, right?"

"What kind of surrounding is that?"

"Stop the nonsense, fire!"

Subsequently, these heretics actually began to fire toward their side. The bullets were blocked by the Psionic Barrier in front of the Holy Shield Power Armor. Taigehe'er said to Dabeiwenqiao beside him.

"Now, can we strike?"

"Of course, my brother. If they surrender, don't get carried away. Now, for the Emperor!"
