The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

……

In an instant, the operations room fell into a deathly silence.

The first 500 people weren't rescued; instead, the remaining 500 were also lost.

A thousand-strong gear-wielding army, wiped out in just two moves, without even a sound.

It took a while for everyone to come to their senses, but they all kept their heads down and dared not make a sound.

They were afraid of becoming the old man's punching bag.

I stole a glance at the old man and saw that he was standing there motionless, his face as black as freshly dug coal.

"...Is this the wonder of magic circles?"

It wasn't until much later that the old man spoke.

A long sigh seemed to be filled with helplessness at the misfortune and injustice of fate.

But is that right?

Isn't this all because of your poor command?!

Everyone secretly grimaced. No matter what, the old man had to take the blame; they absolutely refused to be made the scapegoat.

"No matter what, the Gear Army must be rescued!"

After a moment, the old man spoke again, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

Upon hearing this, everyone curled their lip again.

The old man said the same thing, and as a result, he also lost the remaining five hundred Gear Army soldiers.

Now that the thousand-strong Gear Army is gone, how can we save them?

Right now, they don't even have the ability to break through the protective shield of the North Kan base!

Although it hasn't been tested in practice, judging from the results of previous attacks, it would be very difficult for an ordinary martial artist to break through this protective shield.

"Pull everyone up there! I don't believe we can't break this turtle shell!"

The old man gritted his teeth, revealing the desperation of a gambler who had lost everything.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone was pulled up, but let's not even talk about whether they could break through the protective shield of the North Kan base. Even if they did, what if they fell into a trap like the Gear Army?

But with a thousand cogs trapped, the old man was truly desperate, and at this point, no one dared to utter a single word.

They exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to carry out the order.

As the saying goes, "An incompetent general can bring ruin to an entire army." This old man's own cultivation and strength are indeed formidable, but he lacks far too much in terms of command and strategy.

Immediately following the old man's instructions, he summoned all the warriors of the Tianjing Group in the Northern Wilderness.

Of course, even if we say that all personnel are deployed, the base and various outposts cannot be left unattended, and some outposts are quite far apart, so it takes time to deploy personnel.

Initially, it was just the outer perimeter of the North Kan base, with a few hundred martial artists gathered earlier.

Upon receiving the elder's order, this group of people went forward first.

Whether it was firearms or their own combat skills, they just bombarded the Eight Trigrams Formation with a barrage of fire.

But no matter whether they bombarded it relentlessly or concentrated their attacks on a single point, the Eight Trigrams Formation remained unmoved.

However, as time went on, more and more martial artists arrived from Tianjing Group's base and various strongholds, and their attacks became more and more frequent and intense.

By evening, the Eight Trigrams Formation had begun to show some fluctuations.

"I knew it would work!"

Looking at the fluctuations on the protective shield caused by the onslaught of the crowd on the screen, the old man showed excitement.

In this way, as long as we continue to increase manpower, we will definitely be able to break through this barrier.

At that time, thousands of martial artists from the Tianjing Group rushed in.

I don't believe we can't take over Beikan base!

"Alright, let's all stop for now."

At this moment, the old man suddenly gave an instruction.

停？

We've just seen some results, why do we have to stop?

"We don't have enough men right now, and continuing the attack is a waste of energy. Tell them to stop for now, and wait for reinforcements from the more distant strongholds to arrive before attacking together!"

The old man explained briefly, a confident smile on his face.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The order was quickly issued, and Tianjing Group's attack ceased. All the martial artists waited outside the Beikan base.

As time went on, more and more martial artists continued to arrive.

By the afternoon of the following day, more than two thousand martial artists had gathered!

This is pretty much all the manpower that Tianjing Group can spare in the Northern Wilderness.

"Order the attack!"

With enough manpower already available, the old man's face darkened, and he immediately gave an order.

"Huh? What's that...?"

"It looks like someone's coming out!"

Just as the order was about to be relayed, a figure suddenly appeared on the screen as emerging from the North Kan base.

They've come out on their own before the general offensive has even begun.

At first there were only a few, then a group, probably several hundred people.

This……

Whether on the front lines or in the operations room, everyone looked astonished.

Does this mean that the Beikan base is about to engage in a direct, decisive battle with the Tianjing Group?

But that's not right.

Although the Tianjing Group has gathered a large number of martial artists, they may not be able to break through the Eight Trigrams Formation's defenses. Even if they could, it would inevitably consume some of their strength.

Wouldn't it be better to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and then engage in a decisive battle?

By stepping forward now, they're essentially giving up a huge advantage. Has the enemy commander lost his mind?

"Never mind them! Kill them all!"

Although it's hard to understand, the fact that the other party took the initiative to come forward is a good thing for Tianjing Group.

The old man, too lazy to think further, prepared to give the order to start the war.

He's been stuck in a rut ever since yesterday, and he's been harboring a grudge for a long time.

"wrong."

"Those seem to be..."

But the next moment, as the people inside completely walked out of the base, the Tianjing Group's expression changed drastically once again.

There were indeed several hundred people.

To be precise, it was one thousand people!

However, they were not from the Beikan base, but from the Tianjing Group.

Gear Army.

These people who came out at this moment were the Gear Army who had been trapped inside!

"They're alright! That's great!"

Seeing that the thousand gear soldiers were unharmed, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"this……"

But then it was discovered that the condition of these gear-wielding soldiers seemed to be somewhat off.

Having finally escaped the Beikan base, he showed no joy when facing the martial artists from the Tianjing Group.

Not only that, but each of them had a cold expression, and their gazes were as if they were looking at an enemy.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a thousand Gear Army soldiers suddenly formed a battle formation, directly facing the Tianjing Group warriors opposite them.

"What's going on?!"

Upon seeing this, the old man's expression changed drastically.

How could these thousand cog soldiers have betrayed us!

Turning against each other, what is this if not treason!

"How is that possible!"

The old man's brows furrowed, looking even more distressed than when he learned that all one thousand of the Gear Army soldiers had died.

In addition to being angry, they couldn't understand how the Gear Army could have betrayed them in just one day.

"Commander! Look what that is!"

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw a huge figure faintly emerging from behind Gear Army, inside the North Kan base.

Eight tentacles waved, resembling a giant octopus.

"...It's that strange beast!"

The old man suddenly remembered that the information mentioned that Lu Yuan possessed a strange beast that resembled a giant octopus.

It not only possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, but it can also control people's minds.

"hateful!"

Upon realizing this, the old man instantly understood.

All of these thousand gear-wielding soldiers were controlled by this strange beast!
