Chapter 942: Chapter 715: The Mastermind Behind the Mastermind
As this movement occurred, the entire row of “soldiers” behind him simultaneously turned solemn.
“Prepare to engage!”
The warriors, bearing wooden weapon cases, simultaneously spread out in the alley. Quickly, amidst the shadows, they occupied several surrounding vantage points. Silently, they began to extract the crossbows from their waists and aimed at the now-empty highway.
As for the “soldier” who gave the order, he suddenly stepped onto the wall and then used the momentum to leap up.
In mid-air, a rocket motorcycle emerged from somewhere, and the soldier landed precisely on the backseat of the motorcycle.
With both hands gripping the machine gun at the back, his body leaned slightly forward.
This secretive unit from the beginning —— Capture Grass, finally appeared at this moment.
“The Military Department has arrived!”
Mu Fan glanced sideways and noticed several soldiers who had just climbed onto the rooftops of the surrounding buildings.
“However, it’s somewhat strange. These people appeared without any prior warning. There was no intercepted information requesting military assistance in my monitoring. This unit seems more like…” Black pondered arduously, trying to find the right words.
“More like they were ambushed here from the very start?” Mu Fan asked indifferently.
“Exactly! Given the time they appeared, this speed is absolutely beyond what a normal unit could react to.” Hearing Mu Fan’s words, Black suddenly responded.
Mu Fan lowered his body, taking large strides forward. The sharp wind did not dispel his voice.
His gaze was bright and resolute, “So, these people are highly likely connected to the mastermind behind the scenes… Moreover, they might be directly under the true mastermind!”
Tang Zhi couldn’t believe that with the Mountain Mist Association’s warning, Mu Fan saw through the situation the moment Capture Grass appeared.
As for the Vajra Man Quico, chasing behind like a human-shaped giant beast, he only glanced that way and ignored it.
Others who noticed this scene, including Youshi Wang, all showed an excited expression.
Finally, the Federation army had appeared!
In their consciousness, if the government and the military intervened in this matter, it almost meant the end of the incident.
“Great, they went to intercept that monster.”
Hearing Youshi Wang’s words, Worshipper Shao replied with a heavy tone: “I have a feeling something’s not right. The timing of these troops’ appearance was too fast, and their manner of arrival was too stealthy.”
However, without any decisive information to confirm his suspicion, Worshipper Shao suppressed the thought.
The “soldier” who previously gave orders now calmly sat in the back of the rocket motorcycle, took out a communicator, and cleared his throat.
A solemn voice then resonated on the highway:
“This is the Federation army. The two persons being pursued, please stop quickly. Your actions have endangered public safety. If you refuse to stop, we will resort to forceful measures!”
“Countdown in five, four, three…”
Mu Fan and Quico were frantically running down the road, neither paid any attention to this notification.
However, the countdown voice persisted:
“Two, one!”
A warning surged in Mu Fan’s heart. He looked towards the forward side and swiftly hopped into the air.
At the moment the countdown hit zero, dozens of rocket motorcycles again ascended from the tops of buildings on the other side of the road.
On these rapidly flying airborne vehicles, identical warriors sat at the back, each holding a machine gun.
“Elder Shao, how do you think the army will handle this?” Youshi Wang asked.
“They should…”
Before the words were finished.
Bam, bam, bam, bam!
A series of fires erupted from the air.
The soldiers they saw directly controlled the machine guns to sweep fire on the ground.
And the sweeping area completely enveloped the positions of the two!
“What does the military want to do?”
People spoke in disbelief.
“Are they crazy?” In Dingchuan Academy’s Monitoring Department, an assistant murmured.
Such indiscriminate, heavy weapon deployment wasn’t insane, then what was it?
When did the military become so bloodthirsty?
“Interesting…” Bald Ruan stood in the middle of the crowd, mocking to himself.
He eyed the side and opened his mouth: “Where is the Academy Guard Team? Go have some interactions with those people.”
“Instructor Ruan, those people are from the Military Department.” A nearby person stammered.
“They didn’t present any identification, nor did they inform the academy. If I said I’m from the Gardot Empire, would you believe it?”
Ruan Xiongfei replied impatiently, leaving those around him dumbstruck, almost raising their thumbs.
Although they wanted to say they believed it, they evidently couldn’t risk it.
Truly the notorious old scoundrel of Dingchuan.
Ruan Xiongfei maintained such a calm demeanor because he noted Mu Fan’s inadvertent direction change two seconds before the explosion.
[Kid, your growth has already exceeded all our expectations.]
Continuing down the alleyway was absolutely familiar to Mu Fan. His intuition played a heroic role in his recent evasion.
If not for that preemptive dodge, he would likely have been turned into a sieve by the machine guns.
As for Quico behind him, Mu Fan quickly glanced back, only to see an enormous silhouette glittering with radiant light engaging in extremely agile tactical dodging.
Such route directions and abrupt turns were enough to make one sick, but Quico genuinely used his body to create effects comparable to the Chaotic Zigzag Step.
In Mu Fan’s keen dynamic vision, with his incredible defensive power, Quico narrowly jumped along the explosion’s edge in advance every time.
Some stray shrapnel merely sparked on him and then became inconsequential.
“Machine guns can’t lock on; the two targets move too fast, and their combat intuition is exceptionally strong.”
The “commander” seated at the back of the rocket motorcycle coldly spoke after hearing the data sent by the analyst beside him: “Deploy the mecha, prepare the mecha’s Fire God Cannon and wheel missiles for coverage.”
In a region separated by three streets, three green silhouettes suddenly rose into the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were three green mecha.
“Prepare the net.”
When this order was given, the camouflage-outfitted warriors simultaneously raised their crossbows, aiming at a 45-degree angle toward the sky.
“Knot the web!”
With a buzz!
They collectively pulled the trigger. Dozens of green beams instantly flashed in the sky, tracing parabolas before landing directly on Dingchuan Academy’s protective shield.
The translucent, bubble-like energy shield’s surface immediately rippled several layers upon contact with these arrows.
Then these ripples gradually solidified, transforming into something resembling the bark of an ancient tree when dried.
What was originally a shield that only allowed exit suddenly looked like an entirely impregnable barrier.
In the blink of an eye, Dingchuan Academy was encased by this bark-like spread.
“Adjust by 15°, knot again!”
So they withdrew an exquisitely crafted component from the weapon case on their backs, topped with a half-metal, half-glass test tube filled with green liquid.
Yet, at that moment, as these individuals prepared for a second shot, and just as the Dingchuan Guard Team was about to intervene and separate both sides.
A new development took place.
A man, with spectacles, standing in the middle of a room, had a clear view of everything happening on the street below.
He smiled faintly, “Can you see the corrupt and dark old world? The seeds of revolution are ever-growing, and this filthy and dark old world will eventually be replaced.”
A subtle voice resonated with an underlying fervor and excitement.
So the members of Capture Grass did not even pause as they continued their operation.
Youths appeared abruptly within the house, their gaze cold, their movements methodical.
The only thing in common among them, however, was the more terrifying and professional militaristic aura they possessed.
Carved on their backs was the insignia, “The flame of revolution never ceases; the dirty and dark old world will ultimately be replaced.”
A human-sized giant beast appeared in the sky out of nowhere, with a circle of upward-pointing golden light spears rotating slowly on its back.
In a calm voice, the figure sitting in front of the control panel spoke up.
“””
