Who are you calling a stable boy?!

The captivating voice, delivered through a broadcasting system distributed throughout the city's main streets and alleys, truly reached people's ears.

"She is deliberately creating chaos."

Yelena said in a deep voice, "She wants to escape!"

"Not just, it's Koschke."

Bozokastie shook his head.

"There are Ursus troops in the city."

"Are there Ursus troops in the core city?"

Yelena looked at Bozokasti: "Koschei again... wait, I remember now, you mentioned something about Koschei's legacy and the old viper when you said you wanted to kill Talulah. What's going on?"

"complex."

"Can't it be simple and easy to understand?"

Old Wendigo seemed to consider how to keep things brief before speaking again.

“Kill Talulah.”

-

Stepping away from the microphone and shutting down the system, Talulah relayed the message to the waiting Ursus Army Group. Standing alone in the control room, she looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sudden shutdown of the core city completely disrupted her original plans.

Although it's unclear which part was severely damaged, causing the movement skill to completely stop, given the current manpower she can mobilize within the core city, there's virtually no chance of successfully repairing it.

In other words, we can no longer expect to force Lungmen to take action against the core city.

In that case, let's skip this step.

Just fabricate facts.

The broadcast just now will prompt the Ursus Third Army, which is lurking in the city, to take action. Together with the Sarkaz mercenaries she had arranged in advance, they will first eliminate the scattered lower-level members of the Reunion Movement in the city, and then converge on the central area to surround the guerrillas.

The message she just sent out will prompt the Ursus Army's 6th, 7th, and 12th Divisions, which are waiting in the wilderness, to mobilize and ascend to the core city as quickly as possible.

At that time, even the great warrior Patriot and his elusive guerrillas would not be able to survive under such circumstances.

After wiping out all the Reunion Movement members in the core city, what's left to do is up to Ursus.

Talulah stood quietly, reviewing the situation in her mind, and confirmed that her response had no flaws in the overall strategy.

However, there is one question she still cannot answer.

Why did the core city suddenly stop moving?

No, to be more precise, it was as if it was forced to stop, or even propelled, by some enormous force—

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a golden streak appeared in the sky, interrupting Draco's thoughts, who had excellent eyesight.

She gazed intently at the golden trajectory.

"Bah!"

Holding Yelena in one arm and raising his golden cudgel in the other, Zheng Jing spotted Talulah behind the French windows. He shouted, and the cudgel in his hand grew longer and longer with the wind as he struck at the command tower!

"Little Dragon Girl, where are you going!"

Chapter 281: I'll expose your true colors!

The towering command tower collapsed instantly.

Stepping on the noise of the wreckage hitting the ground, Zheng Jing carried Yelena to the ground.

At the same time, an invisible heat wave rose from the ground, melting the metal and cement debris into a bright orange, scalding viscous liquid.

Amidst the distorted scene caused by the intense heat, a tall figure stands proudly.

Who else could it be but Talulah?

"Frost Star".

Talulah, her hand on the hilt of her sword, met Yelena's gaze: "The Phantom Crossbowmen who came back said that you and the Yeti Squad were still stuck in Lungmen while covering their retreat. I'm glad to see you safe and sound."

"However, the situation is urgent right now. Rather than discussing the details of your evacuation from Lungmen, I would prefer you to..."

With his graying hair, Drak turned his gaze to Zheng Jing, who had six arms and was wielding a staff.

She frowned slightly.

"Provide some explanations for your new friend."

"An explanation? You're the one who should be giving me an explanation."

Yelena's voice was so cold: "They're dead, Talulah."

“Alex, Sasha, and many of my compatriots whose names I don’t even know, they are dead.”

"I am deeply saddened, Froststar. I grieve for their sacrifice every moment."

“Sacrifice? Sacrifice is a noble death, Talulah. Those compatriots, my comrades, who had the courage to die a noble death.”

The white-clad Carter stared intently at the gray-clad Drake.

"Instead of dying as you have done now, through your despicable murder!"

"I don't understand what you mean, Froststar. What has caused you to have such a terrible misunderstanding about me?"

"Misunderstanding? Then I'll give you a chance to refute it."

Yelena drew her staff from her waist.

"Surrender and accept trial. I will listen carefully to all your arguments—after everything has settled."

"Is this your father's intention, Yelena?"

"Don't call me that, Talulah, at least not until you get the trial you deserve."

"I never imagined that the misunderstanding between us was so deeply rooted. When did it begin, and what caused us to drift so far apart? All of this breaks my heart..."

Talulah lowered her eyes, seemingly grieving over the conflict with her comrade.

"real."

She slightly raised her hand.

Just like the hundreds and thousands of previous killings, the unseen thing obeyed Drak's command and pounced on its target.

That's an intense temperature that can melt steel in an instant. Given the fragility of the human body, it would probably turn to ashes the moment it touches it.

Yelena knew this trick.

She had seen it too many times, and she didn't even know when it started, but she would practice countermeasures against it in her mind.

However, when the terrifying heat wave actually hit her, the girl realized that all her rehearsals had been in vain.

—Because that Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) had shattered the formless and shapeless magic before her consciousness could even react.

"Yelena, have you said everything you wanted to say?"

With a flick of the wrist, the staff blossomed, and a gust of wind swept away the remaining heat.

Zheng Jing, carrying a stick, turned his head slightly and asked Yelena.

Yelena closed her eyes.

Knowing that this was Yelena's answer, Zheng Jing's eyes darted around, and he looked at Talulah.

"who are you?"

With a furrowed brow, Talulah, unable to understand why her spell seemed to have been shattered, asked aloud.

"Me? I'm your Grandpa Zheng! I've come here specifically to take you in!"

Zheng Jing sneered, and in a flash, he was already in front of Talulah, raising his stick to smash her pretty face!

In an instant, a wave of heat erupted from Talulah's body.

Her ability to manipulate temperature is truly a perfect combination of offense and defense. Such astonishingly high temperatures render most physical weapons ineffective against her. To engage her in close combat, it is likely that only a powerful individual like Patriot, who possesses the Wendigo race's superhuman regenerative abilities and has also been mutated by Oripathy, can achieve this.

However, the scene of this audacious and reckless person being annihilated, as expected, did not occur.

The terrifying, invisible fire burst forth, but it only burned away Zheng Jing's clothes, revealing his strong, golden body beneath!

Beneath that divine iron rod, the invisible fire was like a gentle summer night breeze; upon the slightest contact, it was repelled by its unparalleled and fierce force.

Seeing the staff coming at her, Talulah didn't have time to think and quickly drew her longsword to meet it.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound.

The scattered fragments of the sword blade turned into molten iron in mid-air.

In the scorching rain, Talulah rolled backward, landed on the ground, pressed her arms to the ground, and when she got up again, she was more than ten steps away from Zheng Jing.

"You're quite good at climbing, aren't you? You managed to dodge my blow. It's not like you've lived in vain for so many years."

"you--"

Talulah's expression turned serious.

She stared intently at Zheng Jing's face, as if recalling all the information about that figure.

"Oh dear! I'm ashamed! I, Old Zheng, have only been repairing for a little over twenty years. I'm certainly not as good at climbing as you are, and you can even pull off such tricks and deceptions—"

Zheng Jing's golden eyes widened as if they were blazing fire, and he pointed his staff at Talulah.

"I can see at a glance that you are not human!"

As he spoke, he leaped up!

"—Old Black Snake! I'll make you reveal your true form!"

-

"Hmm...you're not from the Reunion Movement!"

Holding the Chixiao sword, Chen Huijie cautiously observed the silent soldiers before him.

That's right, soldiers.

Although these people were all dressed in Reunion Movement uniforms and their equipment was not particularly sophisticated, Chen Huijie realized as soon as they engaged in combat that these people were no ordinary individuals.

Their disciplined movements and well-trained demeanor suggest they could not possibly be members of the Reunion Movement, or at least not low-ranking soldiers.

If you ask me, Chen Huijie thinks they are more like professional soldiers.

Moreover, the urban warfare tactics they employed felt familiar to Chen Huijie...

"—You're the Ursus Army?!"

She suddenly realized what was happening.

While studying at the Guardian Academy, she learned about various tactical templates of the world's powerful armies, including Ursus.

Years later, she never expected that she would have to revisit the knowledge points from back then under such circumstances.

What's more troublesome is that these Ursus soldiers disguised as Reunion Movement members are clearly elites within the Ursus army as well.

Chen Huijie wasn't afraid that she would be no match for these Ursus soldiers.

What truly terrified her was the significance of these Ursus soldiers' presence in this place.

Faced with Chen Huijie's questioning, the Ursus soldiers remained silent.

They have always preferred to use their weapons instead of their mouths to speak—

"boom!!"

Just then, a giant sword descended from the sky and pierced between the Ursus soldiers and Chen Huijie, forcing the Ursus soldiers to stop their actions.

"Commander Chen!"

Then came Amiya's shouts.

Chapter 282: What are you doing?

Amiya—Rhodes Island?!

Chen turned his head and looked at the Rhodes Island operators led by Amiya, and exclaimed in surprise.
