Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Ah, bird, ah—"

You bastard!

He collapsed.

Clang.

Ella quickly loaded several more rounds of ammunition into the machine.

"Hey, I'm already behind the tower. Hurry up and bring the Azure Crystal over," Anran said to Nadia after the call connected.

"You've arrived?" Nadia was startled, then he suddenly realized the truth—what had just happened...

"Was that you firing the cannon just now?"

"Yes, that's right."

Good boy—

An Ran's voice naturally reached the ears of everyone around Nadia.

They fought for a long time but couldn't break through the defenses, and as soon as the enemy came over, they started shelling them.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

The war also includes an easy mode.

“I’m currently being held up by the guards, so it might be difficult for me to get over,” Nadia said.

Just then, the sound of cannons firing suddenly came from the bracelet again.

Boom boom boom boom!

A shell was fired instantly, so fast that no one could react in time. Even though they realized something was wrong, the people who rushed over could only watch helplessly as they were twisted by the howling airflow. Finally, with a whoosh, their bodies were torn to pieces, and their broken bodies were completely integrated into the rubble, becoming a deadly weapon along with the crushed tower base.

Even a leaf, if flung at a certain speed without spontaneously combusting, can be a deadly weapon!

swish swish —

Soon another bunch of people were knocked out, including some unlucky Night Owls.

But their deaths were meaningful; their deaths meant that the road from front to back was now open.

Nadia, you still dare to pretend!

"Are you going to breach the contract? Come over here quickly, is everything alright now?" An Ran said.

"Yes, yes, I'll be right there."

Nadia wiped away a bead of sweat. The path cleared by the cannon fire was clearly visible, and the guards were too scared to come out of the fortress.

So, war ultimately destroys money.

These few shots could cost millions of dollars.

I felt sorry for myself until Nadia brought me the Crystal of Aquamarine.

“Sir.” A subordinate looked at Nadia with a serious expression.

Aquamarine Crystal! That's Aquamarine Crystal! Are we really going to give it away like this?

Nadia said, "You guys come with me."

"These greedy and shameless mercenaries!" someone cursed viciously.

Holy crap, Nadia rolled her eyes.

If it were just the few of us together, you could say that, but look at Anderson's eyes now, it's like he wants to eat us alive.

A chilling voice quickly came from behind: "You seem to be quite dissatisfied with us."

"..."

The angry soldier turned around, realizing he had said the wrong thing, but still stubbornly faced Anderson's cold gaze.

Me and my last act of stubbornness!

"You should be glad I'm still a reasonable person, otherwise you'd be a corpse by now."

Pooh!

We are fearless in our resistance against imperialists!

Nadia quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Don't get excited, don't get excited!"

Anderson sneered: "You seem quite dissatisfied with us mercenaries, huh? If that's the case, why don't you take down the base yourself? In the end, you'll still have to rely on our strength, won't you?"

"you……"

"Stop talking, stop talking. Let's go give the things to An Ran first." Nadia was sweating profusely. Having learned to be tactful, he really wanted to slap this subordinate to death.

Damn it, you really think Night Owl is invincible?

It's truly toxic to think that we should unite all forces that can be united, especially during such difficult times.

“Heh.” Anderson didn’t bother arguing any further. “If you were saying that to Anran, I’d love to see what shape you are right now.”

"..."

"Let's go, let's go." Nadia pulled the person aside, chuckling awkwardly, "Miss Anran isn't that violent."

No wonder!

Nadia secretly rejected it.

He hadn't forgotten the feeling of swaying in the wind.

Am I that fierce?

Just as everyone was about to go their separate ways, a faint, eerie feeling suddenly emanated from Nadia.

Although it was the first time I'd heard this tone of voice, that sound...

"Holy crap!" Nadia exclaimed, raising her right hand in a flash.

The wristband still shows a call status.

"I……"

I forgot to hang up.

I……

Anderson was probably the one who felt the most pain; when he saw that the call on the wristband was still connected, his heart almost stopped beating.

Steamed bread slices.

"I'm no longer needed here. I'm going to the second tower base now."

He made an excuse, turned around, and told his men to leave in one smooth motion.

"I'm coming right away!"

Nadia promptly hung up the call.

Anderson has already left, and it wouldn't be a big problem for that guy who was talking nonsense to stay here. To avoid him continuing to cause trouble, Nadia naturally wouldn't take him along.

After a few more shells, the guards in the ruins of the tower finally behaved themselves.

An Ran had no intention of continuing to argue with them.

Under the astonished gazes of Nadia and his men, An Ran put away the armor-piercing cannon and took a subdued, azure-blue gem from Nadia's hand.

Aquamarine Crystal!

Even the pupils are shaped like it! This battery-sized piece of aquamarine is worth hundreds of millions of pesos.

Just holding it in her hand, An Ran felt the anti-gravity field of the combat suit being fragmented. If it were made into a firearm, one shot would be enough to take down a flying monster. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the applications of Aquamarine Crystal!

Put it away quickly.

The merit is complete!

Next, destroy the remaining tower bases, and then you can safely complete your mission!

"By the way, do you know where Harrison went?" Anran asked casually.

She wasn't with Anderson, nor with Caladotil...

“He didn’t operate with us,” Nadia said. “His missions were discussed directly with his superiors, and even I had no way of knowing about them.”

A covert operation?

Could it be a hidden plot point within the mission?

Anran said, "Anyway, let's go and deal with the other tower foundations first."

“With your rapid-fire armor-piercing cannon, things will be much easier.” Nadia breathed a sigh of relief. “And we only need to destroy two more tower bases.”

"That one shell costs over a million, how could it not be powerful?" An Ran said meaningfully.

"Yes, really? Haha, Miss Anran is really rich."

I bother!

Forget it...

You can't keep taking advantage of just one sheep.

"We must get our losses back from Fitch!"

Ha ha.

Maggie gave a silent, cold laugh.

……

Bang!

The shield warrior Zhou Jieyu finally couldn't withstand the fierce slashes of the burly man in front of her. Although the shield she had picked up on the spot didn't break, her arm was completely numb from the impact.

But that's perfectly fine; even if the shield is gone, she still has her feet.

The righteous rolling knight rolled back and forth on the ground, narrowly dodging each attack.

"Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell..."

A mantra, like Tang Sanzang chanting sutras, kept ringing above her head, but Zhou Jieyu, whose "hidden resistance" was terrifyingly high, was not only unaffected, but instead entered a mysterious and profound state.
