Chapter 2708: Chapter 1832: Shit-Stirrer (A Cat That’s Always Sleepy)
"???"
What’s going on, is that guy on the Brass Throne loyal to the Imperial again?
"According to the report from the retreating Planet Defense Force, while they were evacuating, a mob unit attacked another mob unit."
Lumiaire’s voice was also full of confusion.
"But there’s no more information."
"Anyway, let’s leave here first and talk later."
Duanmu Huai shook his head, leaving the tangled mess of intelligence behind.
"Where can we exit from?"
"Let me see... You can take the elevator from the other side of the tunnel to the smelting plant in Nest Capital District 400, where these minerals are sent for smelting and manufacturing."
"Alright, lead the way."
Soon, Duanmu Huai took Lumiaire’s remaining Space Undead Soldiers (a total of two hundred and thirty-five; truly miserably poor) and quickly arrived at the smelting plant in Nest Capital District 400 using a mineral transport elevator. It was clear that those heretic oil men hadn’t informed their colleagues about their undertakings below, so when Duanmu Huai emerged with a group of Undead Soldiers, he almost scared the Mechanical Priest at the smelting plant to death.
However, Duanmu Huai ignored the shouts of the oil men, he simply showed the Tribunal’s mark with a stern face, silencing their chatter, and swiftly left the smelting plant, heading toward the gate of District 400 as quickly as possible.
The street was completely empty; most of the citizens had retreated into their homes, sealing doors and windows, evidently having heard about the mobs and nobody wanted to get involved at the moment. However, Duanmu Huai doubted this order would last to the end—though it didn’t really concern him.
When Duanmu Huai arrived at the gate, a battle for control of the gate between the mobs and the Planet Defense Force had already commenced. The soldiers of the Planet Defense Force relied on the terrain to unleash the firepower of the bomb guns in front, but those mobs weren’t easy to deal with either. In earlier times, mobs without claws posed no threat. But now it’s different, although they are still in ragged clothes, looking no different from starving disaster victims, the weapons in their hands clearly aren’t.
"Watch out!!"
Amidst the screams, a rocket hit the turret, shattering the bomb gun and reducing the soldier operating it to a bloody pulp.
With the loss of artillery suppression, the mobs increasingly charged forward excitedly, while the soldiers of the Planet Defense Force grew demoralized.
Fortunately, at this moment, Duanmu Huai arrived at the scene with the Undead Soldiers.
The cold, ruthless killing machines showcased their formidable strength at this instant, as the green beams of Gauss rifles roared across the battlefield, mercilessly piercing the mobs’ bodies and turning them into charred remains. Duanmu Huai also appeared at the forefront of the battlefield, grabbing a soldier to display his mark.
"I am Grand Judge Duanmu Huai of the Tribunal, report the situation immediately."
"Ah, yes, sir, I—I am Sergeant Kazan of the second company of the 305th regiment of the Planet Defense Force."
The latter hurriedly saluted, tense with his body.
"As you can see, the mobs are well-armed, we just can’t hold..."
"What’s the Emperor’s order to you?"
"To continue holding the position, by all means, not letting them cross District 300."
Further up is where the Noblemen live, and no one wishes the mobs’ insurgency to affect places that high.
"What about reinforcements?"
"The Emperor is deploying from other hives, but it will take time."
"Then continue following orders."
Duanmu Huai glanced at the battlefield, the mobs charging were already cleared by the Undead Soldiers, the ground was covered with green debris everywhere, no bodies, which was a good thing.
"By the way, I heard the mobs were attacked by other mobs?"
"Yes, sir, thanks to them we could retreat in time."
The sergeant’s expression clearly showed some surprise.
"I’ve never thought those people from the lower nest districts could be so united..."
"Hmm, I too haven’t thought of it. Maybe people indeed act bravely when protecting their homeland... Where are they?"
"When we retreated, the attackers had already suppressed those civilians back to their original street, right... near here."
"Okay, thank you for the information."
Having received the map, Duanmu Huai advanced further, although there were mobs constantly charging, in front of the Undead Soldiers they were undoubtedly just grasshoppers, even with sophisticated weapons, they were certainly no match for the Space Undead.
However, after breaking through two nest districts, the battle gradually became chaotic; Duanmu Huai discovered that the mobs before him were no longer just shooting forward; instead, they were shooting madly everywhere, spraying flames and burning buildings, enveloping the entire nest district in thick smoke. Had the air filtration system not been running at full capacity, there wouldn’t even be a need for bullets; they could have been choked to death here directly.
When Duanmu Huai broke through another street’s blockade, he saw mobs wielding flamethrowers, wantonly spraying flames at the district in front while civilians on the other side fought back with weapons. They seemed well-trained and uniform, at least not looking like ordinary civilians.
"Lumiaire, eliminate those guys."
Duanmu Huai raised his chin, and then the Undead Soldiers rushed into the battlefield.
The arrival of the Undead Soldiers rapidly changed the battle situation; many mobs wielding flamethrowers were quickly wiped out. However, the civilians on the other side seemed unfazed, continuing to shoot, even firing at the Undead Soldiers. Duanmu Huai wasn’t surprised; after all, most people in the Imperial were unaware of what Space Undead were.
However, just as Duanmu Huai stepped forward to signal them to cease fire, the situation suddenly changed.
Dozens of dark figures suddenly leapt from the rooftops behind the civilians, like beasts pouncing toward the Undead Soldiers. Sensing the attack, the Undead Soldiers quickly turned their guns, aiming at the enemies, accompanying the Gauss Beam’s spraying, several shadows were penetrated and eliminated, but some had already reached the Undead Soldiers, extending their twisted mutated claws and effortlessly piercing the bodies of the Undead Soldiers, tearing them to pieces.
"Damn!"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai cursed out loud.
Man, this broken place really has everything!
At this moment, Duanmu Huai finally understood what those mobs were doing, and now he had no choice but to help the mobs complete the task they hadn’t.
"Lumiaire, burn this place to the ground for me!"
