Spear Court

Between Lungmen and Sarkaz lies a large number of refugees.

Infected refugees.

Despite being forced by orders relayed by Ch'en, the Lungmen army had no choice but to send a few unlucky individuals to deal with the dirty bombs. However, they were genuinely unenthusiastic, adopting a "do-as-you-go" mentality, and slowly advanced in formation.

Ironically, these "infected refugees from Ursus" were able to hold out until W and Oute's arrival precisely because of the Lungmen army's complete disregard for them, instead of being used up immediately as extremely useful disposable tools by "Spoon" and the others.

After Lin Qingyan's words, Jie Zhen and Tai He seemed to have given up on the fight. But Ch'en turned around and jumped off the city wall.

W's pupils began to tremble under the unconscious influence of Oute.

Knowing something is one thing; experiencing it firsthand is another.

After witnessing firsthand the actions of Ch'en, a super Terra, Oute realized something small: he seemed to only ever get pushed around by beast-eared girls.

Upon closer reflection, the first time Kal'tsit actively hinted and seduced; the second time, it was outright rape!?

W twisted her neck uncomfortably, wondering to herself, "Doc Otter?"

"Otter?"

"Hey! You stinky otter!!!"

She was initially polite, but after receiving no response from Oute, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Um?"

Oute answered very calmly, and you couldn't tell what he had been thinking at all.

"It's time to go!" W said irritably. "If you keep occupying this place... and don't respond to me, I'm kicking you out!"

She suddenly realized that if she uttered this proverb at that moment, the first person she would be insulted would be herself, so she immediately changed her words.

"They will escape, but not now." Using the Sarkaz girl's astonishing strength, Oute threw out an Originium Bomb.

In mid-air, it was detonated with precision but not completeness: a large amount of seemingly highly reactive Originium rose up in a brief cloud of smoke.

The Sarkaz, locked in combat with the Lungmen soldiers, would try to escape quickly, even if it meant taking a slash. They were completely unaware of the healing of their small wounds—or perhaps they were aware but didn't have time to think about it.

"Not fully reacted!" Lungmen soldier immediately shouted. "It's Originium Dust!"

Shock, hesitation... the soldiers' paces instantly diverged, and the battle line suddenly fell into disarray.

Ch'en frowned, then memorized the person's face.

Left with no other option, she shouted, "The refugees' safety has been ensured! Do not pursue them!"

"Repeat! Do not pursue!"

Old Chen, your language skills are quite impressive!

"Form ranks! Retreat slowly!"

To infect soldiers in the name of momentary anger is utterly foolish. But what that soldier just did was undoubtedly a sign that "our army has lost."

"They're just a bunch of rabble!" Old Chen kept repeating. "The primary objective is to protect the safety of civilians!"

Chapter 138 The Spear Court

Just as W was leading Spoon and the others toward the Sarkaz camp, Oute's work at the office was also nearing completion.

Watching Mephisto and Faust gradually become trapped in their "cage," Oute dialed Ch'en's number again, lying through his teeth. "We are now under massive siege, and our defenses are on the verge of collapse."

Whose defenses are in grave danger?

I don't know, but it's definitely not Rhodes Island.

Unfortunately, Amiya has already gone into action with the elite squad, and now only Specter is left to defend Oute. Nobody appreciates this kind of nonsense.

At first, some noise could be heard on the other end of the communication line, but it quickly quieted down.

Ch'en said, "Understood, I will send some people to provide support."

She then hung up the call.

It turned out to be a solitary confinement cell.

The soldier from Lungmen first blurted out the words that caused a commotion in the troops is currently imprisoned inside.

After the refugees were reluctantly rescued by Lungmen, this fast-talking guy knew he was in the wrong and voluntarily accepted the punishment.

"County..." The quick-tongued guy blurted out again, then changed his address under Ch'en's angry glare. "Superintendent Chen, when can I get out?"

"Still thinking about going out?" Ch'en snapped, "Do you know how much damage your words would have caused on a real battlefield?!"

Hey, even if it's that noisy on a real battlefield, hardly anyone can hear it!

The fast-talking guy thought to himself.

He said, "Isn't war about to break out? If I'm still in solitary confinement, won't the battlefield be short one person?"

"Who told you there was going to be a war?!"

The quick-tongued guy blurted out again, "Otherwise, would the court have released Lord Wei? Everyone says so! We train every day, our bones are practically rusted, finally we can be put to use!"

You brat, are you in the Yin-Yang court, or in the Yin-Yang Wei Yenwu?

"Stop talking nonsense! Squat properly! Say another word and you'll get three hundred more push-ups!"

"Alright!" he said quickly, but soon his face fell. "Princess, that doesn't count, does it?"

"Six hundred push-ups." Ch'en pinched the bridge of her nose, left the solitary confinement cell, called over a sergeant, and instructed, "Keep him locked up for a week, and give him the key too. If... then he can return to the battlefield on his own."

If war breaks out...

"Understood, County... Superintendent."

Ch'en nodded and said, "A lot of rats have also gotten into the slums. I'll go take care of them."

"Should we bring a few of our old brothers?"

The mother dragon rebuked, "Do you think you're more powerful than the Supervisory Court? Since the military supervisor hasn't given the order, don't just enter the city in military uniform!"

The nature of the Lungmen army is somewhat complicated. In addition to the soldiers who originally belonged to Lungmen, there were also people who came with Wei Yenwu.

Among those who arrived with Wei Yenwu, there was a distinction between those who came first and those who came later. As a result, many people were more accustomed to calling Wei Yenwu "Lord Wei" and Ch'en "... Princess".

However, no matter how close they are, the fast-talking guy's behavior just now will be punished.

This is military law.

Speaking of military law, W and the others finally returned to their camp.

"W!?" Ines asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't you go to see FrostNova? Why are you back so soon?"

The Sarkaz girl remained calm, nodded slightly, and said, "Call Hedley over, and gather the rest of the Sarkaz as well."

Oute turned and said, "Bring your weapons; we're going to set up a military court."

This campsite, located near a water source, was quite well-prepared: sentry posts, fortifications, patrol routes inside and outside the camp, tents, facilities for cooking over fires, toilets...

There is also a plaza that is barely usable.

After learning the whole story, W was furious.

She took the initiative to stand on the high platform and shouted, "Scum! Villain! Demon! My soldiers!"

This is a tie.

There was a slight commotion from the audience, but seeing W's gloomy expression, it gradually subsided.

"While I was negotiating with my employer for a higher commission, there was a man, a Sarkaz..."

Below the stage, Centurion "Spoon" was forcibly tied up.

He struggled to say, "Boss! I'll give you the money! Three... no! Seventy percent!"

Disgust was already showing on W's face.

She continued, "A damned gullible beast stole forty-seven men from my army! What's worse, this beast has no ability to bring them back!"

"Before I arrived, ten brothers had already been killed by his selfish desires!"

The audience immediately erupted in discussion.

"Is it Spoon?"

How dare he?

"W is such a nice person..."

"Isn't this a rebellion?"

After receiving the appropriate feedback, Oute reminded W to continue.

The Sarkaz girl took a deep breath, forcing down her emotions, and continued, "Two Ursus Rift Beasts from the Reunion Movement betrayed me with just a batch of Originium Ingot and Pure Gold!"

Strictly speaking, the Crownslayer was Ribba (hyena), the same species as Spot.

The Spoon struggled, crying out, "No! W! I didn't!"

"I just want to earn some extra money!"

"I... I'll give you everything! All the money they gave me, I'll give you!"

W turned a deaf ear, while those who held the Spoon remained silent and tightened their grip even more.

She repeated, "He falsely claimed to be acting on my orders and took forty-seven men from my camp! Including himself, that made forty-eight!"

The demon girl coldly commanded, "Sarkaz! Raise your weapons! Form two lines!"

The Sarkaz's murmurs gradually subsided, and except for those who were still suppressing the centurions, they all raised their weapons.

Greatswords and spears were of the same color, and giant axes and scimitars were equally matched.

Before W, a long corridor made of intersecting weapons stretched horizontally from one end of the camp to the other. The chilling glint of the weapons formed a bloodthirsty corridor, and the north wind howled, playing a melody on the blades.
