Chapter 31: Crushing the Hive Security Force

"What is that?"

The Captain of the guard widened his eyes, and the next moment, the giant had already appeared before him.

"Attack..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already been sent flying by an impact; after rolling several times, he fell to the ground, already dead from the impact.

Thierry stepped down from the carriage and happened to see Ninglu make a charge, carving a wide path through the security force; everyone who faced the impact head-on was killed instantly, and those nearby were blown away by the shockwave.

His pupils constricted, and only then did he realize that Ninglu's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

【He is like a war god from the Old Night; if not for the fact that he wants to subdue me, I wouldn't even have had the chance to strike before being crushed into a meat patty.】

Thierry no longer had a shred of doubt about Ninglu; this work cycle would be the end of the Mad King.

"A monster!"

"It is a deity descended to punish the Mad King!"

"..."

The morale of the guards collapsed; they screamed and fled in a frenzy.

"Puhachi's Hive Tower, lead the way."

Ninglu ignored them and said to Thierry.

"My lord, the train station is only 25.4 kilometers from the Mad King's Hive Tower, please follow me."

After advancing three kilometers, the group encountered an interception by the Hive Security Force.

Ninglu's Superhuman Senses took in the entire security force at a glance: 4,100 men, more numerous than in Teziwoke Hive City, and better equipped, with one Support Vehicle for every hundred men.

【Although this Puhachi is insane, he is much more generous than Boleslaw; these vehicles are nothing on a front-line battlefield, but they are still powerful riot-control vehicles for a Hive Security Force.】

He thought about how only Thierry and Luoersiliefu were wearing Carapace Armor, and his other subordinates would surely suffer significant casualties when facing the suppression fire of Heavy Machine Guns.

Ninglu converted the numbers, firepower, and terrain factors of both sides into parameters, incorporated them into the model he was building, and formulated a battle plan.

"The Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Companies will deploy on the left flank with Thierry's men, and the other six companies will attack from the right flank."

Except for elites like Luoersiliefu, the Vostonia First Regiment, composed of gang members and Upper Hive workers, had less combat power than the team led by Thierry, which had conducted guerrilla warfare for many years.

After assigning the four companies composed of new recruits to the left flank, the combat power was relatively balanced.

The six companies composed of veterans had better tacit coordination, making it difficult for them to cooperate if new recruit companies were added.

Subsequently, Ninglu charged toward the enemy army first; he wanted to draw their firepower, especially the Heavy Machine Gun fire, toward himself.

The Captain of the guard was shocked to see the giant slaughter his way into the ranks, swinging a Heavy Halberd and sending a Support Vehicle flying with a single blow.

Seeing the giant charging straight at him, he hurriedly shouted.

"Attack! Focus fire, aim at the monster, hit him for me!"

Instantly, thousands of men aimed their weapons at Ninglu.

Ninglu swung his Heavy Halberd, directly hoisted a support vehicle, and smashed it five meters ahead.

He then swung the Heavy Halberd again; before the enemy troops on both sides could react, their upper bodies had already burst amidst the "Bang, bang, bang" of explosions.

"Advance! Attack!"

Luoersiliefu had anticipated this and issued the order to attack.

The new recruits of the six companies also launched their attack under the urging of their Captains and the veterans beside them.

The soldiers of the new Fourth Company just stood stunned for a moment before coming to their senses.

Thierry was even more unable to comprehend for a moment how the battle had turned into this.

【Facing Ninglu, do so-called tactics really have any meaning?

And what meaning is there in the swordsmanship I have practiced for so many years?】

Not until bullets hit his Carapace Armor and ricocheted off did he come to his senses; he glanced at Ninglu, who was advancing with long strides, and issued an order.

"Attack!"

There was a hint of bitterness in Thierry's shout; in the past, the family's followers would have noticed their master's abnormality, but now everyone's attention was gripped by that tall figure.

While advancing, Ninglu kept an eye on the progress of the battle lines on both sides.

On the right, the veteran backbone coordinated tacitly and had high morale; they advanced steadily under the command of Luoersiliefu.

Bukayo wandered alone on the edge of the team, using his Silenced Laser Pistol to destroy Lumen Lamps.

Then, moving through the darkness and the shadows of the buildings, no enemy troops noticed him, but every time he appeared, he took the life of an enemy Commander, and more and more enemies fell into chaos.

Thierry was somewhat absent-minded, but he was still the strongest combat force besides himself and was the spearhead of the left flank.

The soldiers of the Weila Family had high fighting spirit, with the fire of revenge flickering in their eyes; their combat power was far stronger than the new recruits in the four companies beside them.

After a moment of chaos, the new recruits entered a combat state under the loud reprimands of their Commanders.

Ninglu attracted most of the enemy's firepower, which also allowed them to face relatively scattered and non-sustained attacks.

Among them, the Seventh Company, which had previously captured the train station, performed particularly well.

Especially Szczesny, whom Ninglu was observing closely; not only did he never miss a shot, but he also possessed command awareness, mobilizing his men through loud shouting and seeking coordination with other squads.

"Sandomierski, push forward, take out that bastard at your eleven o'clock."

"Wawrzyniak, get back here, maintain the line."

"Wasilewski, I will draw fire for you, your squad flank them from the side."

"..."

Ninglu's attention returned to the front; he had already made a decision to cultivate Szczesny into a "Sailor."

Thierry was a natural "Warrior," with potential far beyond what Luoersiliefu could reach, but his loyalty still needed to be confirmed.

His gaze turned toward the panic-stricken Commander ahead, and he moved his legs and began to run.

After a five-step run-up, he leaped into the air.

Then, his right foot stepped heavily onto a support vehicle, and he used the force to leap forward.

"Run! Step on it, for f*ck's sake!"

The Commander of the Lukebo security forces shouted in terror, loudly urging the driver on.

The next moment, he felt his head shrouded in shadow; he looked up in horror, his final thought being "It's over."

Ninglu smashed into the command vehicle, stomping the Commander into a pulp of flesh and mud, while feeling his Spirituality become more vibrant and his body lighter; he clearly sensed that the digestion of the "Barbarian" had reached a new node.

The security forces collapsed completely; they threw down the weapons in their hands and fled in all directions.

Clean up the battlefield, finish it quickly within ten standard minutes.

The Vostonia First Regiment captured three Support Vehicles, the Weila Family armed forces captured two, and the expended ammunition was replenished.

Thierry boarded a Support Vehicle, leading the way three meters ahead and to the left of Ninglu.

The Hive Tower of the Piontkowski Family.

Puhachi, who had not a single piece of flesh on his body and whose every step emitted the sound of vibrating steel, walked into the palace.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads, especially the nobles who had not yet been fully modified, whose bodies were already partially collapsing, and who saw double images flashing before their eyes from time to time; they recited silently in their hearts.

【The Mad King cannot see me, the Mad King cannot see me...】

Puhachi sat on the Steel Throne; he raised his right arm, his mechanical claw pointing at a person in front of him wearing a red robe that concealed their flesh-and-blood legs.

"Mulafusiji, I have already sent Mirzejewski's security detachment to intercept them; why must you still disturb my experiment?"

Hearing the word "experiment," everyone's bodies trembled slightly.

"My King, I am truly sorry, but the enemies attacking the Upper Hive include not only the traitor Thierry Viera, but also a Monster."
