Chapter 173
I can't hear very clearly.
The blizzard took away her voice, took away the words of that Angel.
So from FrostNova's perspective, it was just that one person talking to himself as he approached the camp.
As they got closer, everyone could see her face clearly.
The newcomer was a lovely red-haired Angel, dressed in thin clothes, letting the wind and snow lash her body, seemingly unconcerned even as her skin froze over.
For the average person to dare to use this equipment to cross the snowfield, death is absolutely certain.
Even the Yeti Squad wouldn't dare to cross this extreme tundra without any equipment.
At their first meeting, FrostNova knew that the person before her was no ordinary person.
Patriot simply said, "She's the... the sorcerer who stopped Chernobog..."
Upon hearing this, FrostNova's mind went blank.
That monster... it's come looking for them?!
At the same time, Xiao Huasheng also noticed this place.
She saw the flames of someone encamped in the snowfield and stared at them blankly for a moment.
In her mind, Angela spoke a sentence.
[It seems the goods are in the hands of this group, aren't they? The Reunion Movement, isn't it?]
"Really... Tell me, can we talk? I don't want to fight to the death."
Xiao Huasheng looked at the crowded camp in front of him and asked a question.
A breath later, an extremely sharp whistling sound pierced through the blizzard!
Thump!
Almost the instant Xiao Huasheng finished speaking, Patriot's massive body had completed the entire process of charging up and throwing!
He wasn't unaware of the words the other party seemed to be trying to communicate, but in Ursus, a land soaked in blood and betrayal, and having witnessed countless conspiracies and intrigues within the Reunion Movement, he had more faith in the halberd in his hand and in the power of preemptive strikes!
Especially when facing an entity of unknown identity and power, any hesitation could lead to the destruction of the entire camp!
The massive halberd, large enough to tear apart city defenses, was hurled by his inhuman strength and transformed into a black lightning bolt too fast for the naked eye to catch!
Wherever the halberd passed, the raging wind and snow were instantly pushed aside and torn apart, forming a brief vacuum passage!
The halberd rubbed violently against the air, bursting out with a dark red light in the darkness, like a falling meteorite!
When!
A burst of Mars erupted from Xiao Huasheng's left shoulder in an instant.
The next moment.
Xiao Huasheng felt as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed moving mountain. His seemingly slender figure instantly turned into a blurry afterimage and flew backward at an incredible speed!
The trajectory of her flying backwards left a shocking scar on the snowfield!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang--!
Xiao Huasheng's body bounced wildly across the deep snow like a cannonball!
She was sent flying, spinning like a skipping stone, kicking up a cloud of snow dust.
She was dragged by this force for a full hundred meters before finally coming to a stop somewhere!
Boom!
At the end of this long trajectory, a final, heavy impact resounded.
Her body was slammed into a small hill, and the resulting snowfall spread outwards like a mini avalanche, temporarily burying her figure.
In front of the camp, the once flat snowfield now has a hundred-meter-long passage.
The passageway was still emitting a faint warmth.
The entire camp was deathly silent.
Only the wind and snow continued to howl, but even they seemed to be stunned by this earth-shattering blow.
The Yeti Squad members stared wide-eyed. Even though they knew the Patriot's terrifying power, witnessing this Catastrophes attack still shocked them to their very core.
Some of the younger team members even swallowed unconsciously, their palms sweating as they gripped their weapons.
FrostNova looked at the devastated snowfield and the rising snow dust in the distance, feeling no relief, but rather a stronger sense of unease.
The ability to stop the existence of Mobile City... how could they be so easily defeated?
The white rabbit didn't believe it.
Patriot held the throwing posture, his huge hand slowly retracting and clenching into a fist.
His gaze beneath his visor remained fixed on the snow pit, unwavering.
"Prepare... to engage the enemy."
Patriot spoke slowly, reaching forward to try and retrieve the thrown halberd.
In the snow dust, a figure emitting a faint glow slowly rose to its feet.
Chapter Fifteen: Level Two Alert [1 Update]
"Screech!" Xiao Huasheng grimaced as she scrambled to her feet from the snow. Although the blow hadn't broken through her defenses at all, it had successfully ripped apart her pitiful clothes.
["I'm being an exhibitionist again, huh." Angela said with a laugh.]
All she got in return was Xiao Huasheng's silence. Looking at the shattered clothes on the floor again, she felt like dying.
She got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, brushed the snow off her red hair, and asked a question.
"What should I do? They don't seem to be welcoming me."
[Let Skadi out to play, let Skadi interact with them. I've specially modified her to save energy.]
She nodded with slight hesitation, and relying on the fact that all her employees could now be resurrected indefinitely, she didn't hesitate to throw them out.
"Go! Skadi! Ai Er Lan! Ku Tang! Roxy!"
She shouted and pointed in a direction.
In the blink of an eye, Skadi rushed out from beside her and grabbed the heavy battle halberd that had returned to the ground!
Then she broke through the blizzard like a gust of wind and rushed toward Patriot.
No need to explain the plan, no need for extra conversations; the employees in the company always know what to do.
The other three employees also stepped forward and shot off towards their destination.
The first two people they encountered were Skadi and Patriot.
Boom--!
Two figures collided with a deafening roar in the heart of the snowfield.
Patriot gripped his halberd tightly and swept it horizontally, the resulting wind pressure clearing away the snow within dozens of meters, revealing the dark permafrost beneath.
Skadi neither dodged nor evaded, her Eye Lamp meeting the attack with overwhelming force.
Patriot instantly raised his shield to meet the Eye Lamp Hammer.
Bang!
The shockwave from the intense collision spread out in a ring, causing the Yeti Squad to stagger for a moment, and the Shieldguard Squad had to raise their shields to defend against the shockwave.
This terrifying storm snapped several nearby dead trees in half.
Xiao Huasheng had no choice but to raise his hand to block the oncoming snow waves, squinting as he barely managed to see the battle.
The two were locked in a stalemate.
Skadi gripped the Eye Lamp with both hands, resting it against the Patriot's shield. The frozen ground beneath her feet cracked inch by inch, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading for more than ten meters.
Patriot, holding his shield in one hand, blocked Skadi's attack with both hands.
At the same time, he was pressing down, as terrifying as a mountain.
Skadi, enveloped in steam from the pressure, was clearly pushing her body to its limits. However, under the Patriot's mountain-like oppression, her knees were bending slightly.
"Wasn't Skadi buffed? Isn't she wearing EGO Gear?" Xiao Huasheng muttered.
[Of course, I've also enhanced her body... In a normal battle, she could even briefly suppress 682. If she still ended up at a disadvantage even then, then it can only mean there's something wrong with her opponent.]
As soon as she finished speaking, Skadi suddenly erupted.
"Hmm, humph!" Skadi grunted.
Thump!!
She slammed her right foot into the ground, using the momentum to spin around and dissipate the immense force in front of her. As her shield slammed into the ground, she swung her sledgehammer high into the air and smashed it down on Patriot's head!
Patriot's massive body lurched backward at an incredible speed, the sledgehammer grazing his helmet and blasting a crater several meters in diameter into the snow.
Patriot's halberd had been withdrawn at some point and was thrusting towards Skadi's body. Skadi, with inhuman speed, slammed her hammer down on the tip of the halberd in the blink of an eye!
Clang!
The clash of their weapons sparked blindingly, and the metallic clang made Xiao Huasheng, who was watching from afar, feel his ears go numb.
Each collision triggered a small-scale earthquake, clods of frozen soil were lifted and fell back down, and snow was evaporated into mist, which then instantly condensed into ice crystals in the extreme cold and fell back down.
The core area where the two were fighting had become a Chaos, with only occasional glimpses of the cold glint of weapons and the unsettling eyes on the Eye Lamp visible through the wind and snow.
But without a doubt, both of them were caught in a fierce battle.
"Captain!" the Shieldguards shouted in shock, rushing forward.
"You old stubborn fool!" FrostNova cried out in shock. She had never imagined that someone could be as powerful as the Patriot.
She hurriedly tried to unleash Originium Arts to stop the fight and freeze Skadi.
At that very moment.
Ultramarines Roxy, wielding a long spear, had already charged forward. A striking Thorn Halo adorned his head as he thrust his spear at FrostNova without hesitation.
Its speed far exceeded FrostNova's imagination; she could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced towards her.
Just as Roxy's spear was about to touch FrostNova's chest, a thick shield wall suddenly appeared between the two.
Clang--!
The deafening impact caused the surrounding snowflakes to freeze in place.
The lead Shieldguards's arms were bulging with veins, and dazzling sparks flew from the thick shield.
To his shock, however, the force of the blow far exceeded his expectations. He was so violently thrown backward that he slid several meters, carving two deep furrows in the snow.
"How is this possible..." the Shieldguards muttered in disbelief. He had never met anyone who could suppress him in pure strength.
The person in front of me, dressed in strange blue armor and wearing some incongruous clothing, actually managed to do this.
"For the Emperor! For him on Terra!"
With a roar, Roxy's two-meter-tall frame charged several steps toward the slightly shorter Shieldguard Squad, directly plunging into the enemy ranks.
What kind of chilling faith lies behind the blood-red visor beneath that helmet?
However, this also created another gap in the Shieldguard Squad.
In that brief moment, a blood-red figure flashed past like a ghost.
Call out--
With Ai Er Lan charged toward FrostNova, his blood-red spear aimed straight for FrostNova back.
The strike was as swift as lightning; wherever the spear tip passed, an unbelievable whooshing sound erupted.
"Protect Big Sister!"
The Yeti Squad members sprang up almost simultaneously, and several ice walls instantly rose from the ground, only to be pierced through layer by layer like thin paper by the blood-red spear.
But this brief delay gave the other Yetis team members time to react.
"Don't even think about it!"
