This Terra is a little weird.

"is it?"

“Yes.” The Astartes was a Primaris Space Marine, and his tall stature forced Talulah to look up at him.

"W, Froststar, Mudrock, we are taking action."

The three women put down what they were holding and walked over to listen to the intelligence being shared by the Space Marines in front of them.

"Well, that's it, Kalena. You and Brother Sleiman should go back to the company first. We have to wait and see about the situation here. We are not in a hurry to take action."

"As you wish, young lady."

Kalena left the camp and waited for Slyman beside the Thunderhawk.

Tallulah looked at those Space Marines. It was she who released them from the Hypercube. Talaxin also became her deputy. Of course, Talulah, like Luo Chen, was always on guard against this strange robot, because Luo Chen's note said that this robot was not a human before. It had an alien consciousness. One must be careful in dealing with it and not be led by it. But one can listen to its advice. After all, Talaxin's knowledge is beyond human understanding.

"Froststar, W, Mudrock, I feel like we can definitely find clues about him this time."

W was wiping the grenade launcher that Luo Chen gave her. After several years, the grenade launcher had become worn out. Although it still worked well, W had not replaced it. She was waiting for Luo Chen to come back and give her a new one.

"Well, I'm sure I can find it."

Chapter 150: Stronghold

The streets of Syracuse were relatively wide, but in the slums, all kinds of debris and poor people were piled or living on the streets, causing these originally wide streets to become narrow. And it was in this narrow passage that there was a young man wearing a platinum robe walking on the street. People gave way to him, and he responded to everyone with a smile.

Tallulah and the others had been following the young man. They wore tattered robes with hoods, hiding their armor and equipment, and moved quickly across the rooftops and streets.

From time to time, some infected people came out from the dark corners. They slowly followed the young man, walking away from the mobile city and the nearby villages, until they came to a valley.

This place was already filled with the white symbols of the Society of Light, items and decorations full of religious atmosphere. The young man walked up to the guard in front of the canyon and performed a ritual that had never been seen before. Then he said a few words and entered the canyon with the infected behind him.

Tallulah and Mudrock carefully observed the guards outside the canyon.

They were wearing special black and white armor, which looked like a product of the cold weapon era, but they had the shape of modern armor and some modern equipment hanging on their bodies. They were holding automatic rifles produced by Agrippina Industries and even heavy logging guns, but some people did not know how to use guns or muskets at all. They were wearing real knight armor, and the main tone was platinum, with different colors and decorations. They were carrying different cold weapons but exuded a lot of brilliance. It seemed that they were not easy to mess with.

W put down the telescope and dived down from the rock. "There are twenty people at the entrance of the valley. There is a high probability that there are more people above the canyon. I don't know what is happening in the back."

Froststar quickly drew a rough battle map with a pencil, using stones as markers.

"There are twenty at the entrance of the valley, and no less than thirty above the canyon. Judging from their size, there are at least two hundred guards in the canyon. And we don't know if the white knights that appeared in the mobile city are here. If they are, we can't handle them. Although we haven't fought them, judging from the tragic state of the dead, these knights are very powerful. We can't treat the Society of Light as an ordinary cult."

Mudstone put away his hammer and said, "Then let's go back and call for support. Let's get Kalena and the others here first."

Tallulah looked at the canyon and said, "Okay, let's go back to the company and prepare. We'll talk about it once we have all the people."

Suddenly, several people noticed that there was a strange breath not far from them. Without making any extreme actions, they tacitly surrounded and blocked the road. Randomly W threw a fake grenade, causing the person hiding in the pile of rocks to jump up suddenly, and then he was surrounded by Tallulah and others.

This was a member of the Fengti tribe, but he was not as tall and strong as people imagined. When Tallulah saw the Black Blood Organization logo on his neck, she immediately became alert. Those who could join the Black Blood were not easy to deal with, and the Black Blood would not recruit anyone without outstanding qualities.

"Blackblood, what are you doing here?"

Tallulah did not take action immediately because there were too many uncertainties and she would likely suffer losses if she acted rashly.

"......"

The surrounded Fengti people did not respond and looked ready to fight for their lives at any time.

"We should ask you, what do you want to do here?"

These words made Tallulah's pores open, as if a thunder had exploded. She didn't know when the Black Blood people had surrounded them. In a battle of strength, Tallulah and her friends could hold their own in a one-on-one fight, but now the Black Blood people outnumbered them. The surrounded Fengti people jumped out of the encirclement and returned to the Black Blood team.

The leading Volper said, "We were just gone for a while and you were surrounded by Catachan people?"

"..."

"I'll take care of you when I get back."

"..."

He turned to Tallulah. "Then I ask again, what are the people from Catachan doing here?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" W said viciously.

"Haha, we haven't seen Lord Luo Chen for a long time. It seems that you have been in charge of the company in recent years, right? Our leader misses Lord Luo Chen very much, and he hasn't yet avenged those few blows he stabbed."

"You've watched too much TV. If you want to fight, just come directly."

"snort....."

Both sides were in a tense confrontation. Even though the Black Blood side was three times as strong as Tallulah's side, the performance of the four women in front of them in the past few years was no worse than when Luo Chen was around. Many Black Blood people fell into the hands of Tallulah and her companions.

However, neither side would confront each other for too long, especially the Black Blood people. After a sneak attack by a Wolper, the two sides immediately started fighting.

Mudstone suddenly threw W onto the topmost rock, and W's first bomb was not to hit the black blood, but to launch a delayed grenade into the sky. The sound of the explosion resounded throughout the area.

Froststar and Talulah stood in front of the rock where W was standing, one with fire and the other with ice. Their Originium skills prevented the Black Blood members who were good at close combat from getting close. Mudrock fought at the front, relying on his light Void Armor and Power Hammer to stop several of the tallest Black Blood members by himself.

W stood on the rock, constantly using small bombs and grenades to block Black Blood's path, forcing back the Luper people who wanted to surround and kill him from the flank.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. The Originium skills of both sides blasted large pits in the surrounding ground. The ground was burned black by the fire released by Tallulah, and then frozen by the ice of Frost Star.

As time went on, Tallulah and her companions became increasingly exhausted, and the Blackbloods could attack in turns, but they did not gain any advantage. They were all covered in wounds and looked in a very miserable state. The leading Wolper had the hair on his tail burned off by Tallulah's flames, and if he had not escaped in time, he would have lost all his hair.

However, the people with black blood were sure that in a short while, these women would not be able to hold on any longer.

But when the battle just started, W blasted explosives into the sky in order to attract the guards in the canyon. But what they wanted was not those believers with guns, but those white knights with wings and armor.

Sure enough, there was a flash of intense white light, and the shrieking sound of an object swooping down from the sky at high speed was heard.

Several knights rushed to the center of the battlefield. After a burst of dust, both Tallulah and the Black Bloods finally saw the legendary White-Armored Knight up close.

Tallulah looked up at them. These knights were even stronger than

Space Marines like Kalena were a head taller than the Dreadnoughts and only slightly shorter. The oppressive feeling they brought made Tallulah think that she was facing a demon.

The white knights stood in the center of the battlefield, invisibly separating the two sides. W and Froststar took the opportunity to catch their breath. W did not have superb Originium skills, and Froststar had just recovered and was not yet adapted to the previous high-intensity battle.

The black-blooded men were very wary of these white-armored knights. They made attacking moves, which in turn attracted the attention of the knights. The only one among them who carried a shield raised a huge tower shield, blocking almost all the attack routes.

The other knights raised their huge broadswords, spears, swords and halberds, and colorful light emanated from their bodies. The ground around them shattered instantly, and cracks spread like long snakes. Big beads of sweat appeared on the faces of the black-blooded people. The pressure brought by the knights was much greater than expected.

"Get away!" The Tower Shield Knight raised his shield and slammed it heavily on the ground. The crack widened by more than one meter because of his action, and the ground shook continuously.

"What should we do?" A Rupert appeared from the shadows next to the Wolper leader.

"Now is not the right time to fight. Let's retreat."

The black-blooded people left in disgrace, and they retreated quickly.

Originally, Tallulah also wanted to retreat, but those white-armored knights had already set their sights on them. Even if they did not make any move, the feeling of oppression was strong.

"Ms. Tallulah, we should go," Mudrock reminded her. Her condition was no longer good, and it would be unlikely for her to forcefully activate the Colossus if a fight broke out.

"..."

Tallulah took a step forward and imitated the young believer who had performed the strange ritual.

The knights looked at each other, put away their weapons, and slowly came behind Tallulah and the others. The leading knight with a long sword on his waist waved his sword towards the canyon, signaling them to go there.

"Talulah, we can't go." Frost Star was very alert. For the four of them who were no longer in good shape, breaking into the cult's camp would be tantamount to seeking death.

"There's no way, Froststar. We can't defeat the big guys behind us. They can probably kill us with just a swing of their swords. Let's go in and take a look."

Tallulah and her three companions moved toward the canyon, followed by the six knights. They arrived at the entrance of the canyon.

When the guards saw the knights behind Tallulah and the other three, they all knelt on one knee and saluted, and then they entered the valley.

After entering the canyon, Tallulah realized that they had underestimated the scale of the place. The number of believers living here was beyond imagination. People had been chiseling the rock walls, building wooden elevators that could go up and down, wide stairs built on the rock walls, buildings on boulders, and so on.

They even saw a white knight holding an exaggerated spear covered with spikes that looked like a huge flower bud. Judging from her small stature and feminine armor, it seemed that these white-armored knights were divided into male and female.

Tallulah had read a book about armor. Historically, armor was not feminine. Everyone wore the same armor. So why do female knights wear armor now? To look good?

She spread her huge wings and flew into the sky, rushing towards a rock wall with a newly built wooden ladder next to it. She stabbed her weapon, but no rocks flew out, only a lot of dust and powder. When the dust settled, the White Knight returned to the field of vision, and a huge and spacious cave suddenly appeared on the rock wall, and there was even a slot for placing things in it.

This place is filled with a strong religious atmosphere. Most men, women, young and old wear clothes with white as the main color and other colors as embellishments. In this arid area, this canyon is full of green plants. On the limited land grows a kind of tree-like plant that has never been seen before. There is no such thing in the Terra biological map.

People picked all kinds of fruits from the trees, and then the trees whose fruits were picked immediately blossomed and bore fruit, growing another wave of different crops. This supernatural thing made Tallulah a little crazy, and the most unbelievable thing for them was that the white knights drew some kind of huge symbols with their weapons in several places, and then white flashes appeared, and people walked into the range of these symbols and appeared on another symbol.

A teleportation array. Tallulah and the other three saw too many impossible things. It would be foolish to measure what was happening in the canyon from a scientific perspective. W simply stopped thinking about it. She just looked around and took in all the new things that came into her sight.

People walking on the road would salute the white knight when they met him.

"Tallulah, what do you think?" Froststar asked.

"This cannot be called a society, at least not the one we recognize and know. If it were in other places, it would have collapsed long ago."

"Not necessarily. Look, these people are living well. Is this really a cult?"

"We have to be vigilant, we don't know the inside story."

"Speaking of which, where are these knights taking us?"

"do not know."

The knights brought Tallulah and the other three to a palace-like building. It was not big or luxurious, but it was very solemn and dignified.

Tallulah saw the young man inside, who seemed to have been waiting for them.

The young man saluted the white knight behind them: "My lord, I am here."

Then the knights turned and left, leaving Tallulah and the other three and the young man here.

"Who are you?" Tallulah asked.

"My name is Yar, dear lady. I am originally from Victoria, and now I am a loyal believer and subject of the Lord of Light."

"You are kidnapping civilians. There is a serious population shortage in many places. It's your Society of Light who is behind this, right?" Frost Star asked seriously.

"We didn't kidnap anyone. People all voluntarily live under the protection of the Lord of Light. And malicious kidnapping is not allowed by the Lord. There were a few extreme believers who did this before, hoping to get the Lord's attention. In the end, they were executed by the Knights. This is a warning to us."

"You are in awe of those white giants. Who are they?" W asked. She cared a lot about the white knights. She felt that these monsters could not be killed by bombs.

"The Knights are the messengers of the Lord of Light. They came down from the sky to protect the believers and people who believe in the Lord. No one has ever seen their faces. They only stipulated what we cannot do, and the rest is left to us."

Tallulah did not speak. Any nice words said by this young man would not cause any waves. Those evil cults that were related to the word "light" spoke better than the other, but they all did extremely cruel things.

"I presume you are Miss Tallulah?"

"......"

"We have heard of you. You have wiped out many pagans. We are very grateful to you."

"pagan?"

"The Brotherhood of Light, the Holy Society of Light, etc. are all heretics. They misinterpreted the Lord of Light's intentions. Originally, the Knights should have come forward to eliminate them, but Miss Tallulah's company was one step ahead."

"You are all a cult just like them."

"In your eyes and in the eyes of those politicians, of course we are, but in the eyes of those outside, we are dependents, and in our own eyes, we are just believers who are loyal to the Lord and fulfill his will."

"..."

"I think you came here to investigate our situation? Now you have seen it with your own eyes. Our reality is like this. You ladies probably don't like staying here. The Knight will escort you out."

"Aren't you afraid that we might call in the army?"

The young man shook his head: "The Knight brought us here, that is the will of the Lord of Light. We will not leave, and we are not afraid of others coming to destroy it. This is our home. We will fight to the end with the Knights. For the Lord of Light, we will fight to the last man."

Tallulah didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she came out. She just felt that the young man said nothing and didn't provide any useful clues.

But there are no conditions now, and everything needs to be discussed back at the company, especially regarding the matter of Black Blood. They seem to be investigating this matter as well. Catachan Company must find out what Black Blood is doing and stop it.

For this reason, Talulah decided to seek cooperation with Rhodes Island and borrow a few more powerful operators. The Doctor would definitely agree, after all, she was also very concerned about clues about Luo Chen.

Chapter 151 White Undead Beast

In Victoria's Rockart Mobile City, city law enforcement officers surrounded a meat processing plant. The police received a report claiming that some unknown believers performed some kind of ritual. Within a few days, the warehouse of the meat processing plant was inexplicably emptied, leaving some strange marks on the ground.

Originally, the employees thought that this was just a crime committed by some thieves. After all, the infected people on Terra are not so calm now. They are very manic and marching in waves. It is easy for ordinary people to attribute all the bad things to these people.

But what happened next scared everyone. Inhuman howls were often heard in the factory, and then people were dragged into dark corners, followed by chilling sounds of flesh being eaten. Finally, when the police arrived, no one in the entire factory was able to respond to their calls.

The snipers aimed at every corner of the factory. They saw the radio station where the previous distress signal should have been sent, but it was now pitch black and there was only blood on the windows.

The sirens stopped, and a police officer got out of the police car that had obviously been upgraded. The police title on his shoulder told everyone that he was the deputy chief of police of Rockart City Police Station. He was known for his toughness and strong fighting ability. In a few years, after the chief of the Rockart City Police Department retired, this position would be his.

This is a Drak man named Chaka, who is best at close-range Originium combat. His weapon is a giant Originium sword, and he has a crossbow as a backup weapon.

All the police officers made way for him, and one of them came up to him and said, "Captain Chaka, we tried to have a conversation, but no one in the factory responded."

"...We can't wait any longer. Let the AKA team break in by force."

"Yes!"
