Chapter 732: Chapter 609: Plundering_2

The White Salamander’s target was the already slain Book Page Peacock!

Its wounds healed quickly, but it preferred to find a place to shed its old skin first and pursue the baptism of rebirth once more.

Clutching the remains of the Book Page Peacock, the White Salamander strode away and vanished into the Golden Cicada River.

"Shall we pursue?" a soldier peered into the distance.

"Don’t bother! Just look at it — a hard chase would only cause losses," 102 stood on her tiptoes.

She had once fiercely battled with the White Salamander and knew better than anyone how difficult it was to kill.

After the White Salamander took the Book Page Peacock away, the remaining firepower was all poured onto the surviving Great River Followers.

"Fire!"

At the command, the Nestor Corporation troops brought forth several vehicle-mounted rocket launchers and fired at the Great River Followers’ defensive circle.

A dense barrage rained down on the land they were defending, instantly blasting hundreds of large craters!

In the cruel net of firepower, countless people were obliterated instantaneously, turning to ash and fragmented corpses amid screams and wails of agony!

Flames rose, and everything turned to ash and smoke.

Devastated by the violent assault of the Nestor Corporation’s strike team, and having witnessed the Great River Goddess’s arm severed and the Book Page Peacock killed, the final morale of the Great River Followers also crumbled.

They fled the battlefield in disarray, no longer possessing the courage to engage in combat.

"The arm!"

"The arm of the goddess!" The rest caught their breath for a moment, then immediately rushed towards the huge arm severed from the Great River Goddess.

Around the arm was a massive ring of scorch marks with ashes, molten metal slag, and debris; this was the last defensive circle of her worshippers, now utterly collapsed.

teleported there with 102 in tow.

"It’s ours now!" 102 shouted, lifting the severed arm with great force.

"Nobody come any closer!"

"Nestor Corporation has claimed this asset!"

"Everyone retreat to 500 meters away!"

"Cease-fire! Any act of arms is a provocation against Nestor Corporation!" Strike team members swiftly gathered personnel, guarding 102 and 101, defending their claim to this demigod arm.

Who wouldn’t want the severed arm of the Great River Goddess!

But at this moment, the people from other corporations were not willing to give up so easily.

They watched with cold eyes while secretly sending urgent messages, calling on all the forces they could mobilize, and requesting the armed forces of each corporation to enter the scene, all converging at Relic 208.

A tense atmosphere began to pervade.

Jin Yuxiu, affiliated with the Jialongpo Corporation, also flew up high, her gaze landing on the huge arm.

The Intervention Army had once entered the anomalous zone with the same goal and sacrificed themselves in battle; now the situation was different.

In the brutal fight that had just occurred, every unit had lost at least 40% of their manpower, a heavy loss indeed, and naturally sought compensation elsewhere.

This arm was the best trophy! Sufficient to compensate for all losses.

The first to respond was the Namisis Group.

Seven heavy shuttle machines, painted dark blue, approached from afar with a roar, forming a wedge formation, their guns aimed at the field below, all the while broadcasting a loud message.

"All units, lay down your weapons and cease fire, Site No. 208 is now under the control of the Namisis Group," came the announcement as the bay doors of the seven heavy Shuttle Machines opened, unleashing a number of Witches clad in black flight Armor.

"Enforcer Squad!" someone shouted from below, revealing the elite group’s true name.

They were the Namisis Group’s Law Enforcers, comprised of a mix of specially-selected Witches and high-level corporate soldiers.

looked up. The flying Witches were encased from head to toe in what resembled advanced Power Armor, wielding heavy Bomb Cannons or large energy War Spears. They were equipped with standard-issue weapons and cutting-edge gear. 102 couldn’t identify the models of those weapons, but she felt a palpable terror having those potent arms pointed at her.

"Please, put down your weapons first!" Jin Yuxiu, fearing for the safety of 102 and the others, quickly activated her Armor’s thrusters and flew above their heads, shielding them and placing herself between them and the Namisis Group’s Enforcer Squad.

looked up, her mouth agape. She was indeed exhausted.

Having undergone the harrowing ordeal of reliving such terrible memories, coupled with fighting the Great River Follower Corps, the Book Page Peacock, and the White Salamander, she was not only physically drained and her Magic Power significantly depleted, but her Armor’s fuel was nearly spent as well, making flight extremely difficult.

"Fall back!" a particularly robust and nimble Witch burst forth from a Shuttle Machine. She donned a sinister helmet with demonic features and glowing green eyes, gripping a jet-black sniper rifle aimed at Jin Yuxiu’s head.

"Be careful... that’s an Executioner from the Enforcer Squad, one of the especially strong amongst them." Jin Yuxiu passed the intel to 102 and the others; she could only retreat and then persuade the rest not to engage them head-on.

The Executioner floated in the air like a demonic creature, her large propulsion device maintaining her balance as she swooped down to the huge severed arm beside her, grabbing it with one hand, prepared to lift it forcefully as a trophy for the Namisis Group.

102, angered, prepared to engage her hard with her Short Spear in hand.

"Tsk." The Executioner raised her energy spear, its metal tip wrapped with high-temperature plasma, which could ignite 102 with a single strike.

"Stop!" Jin Yuxiu reached out her hand, trying to interfere.

A surge of frustration welled up in 102. Why were the Namisis Group’s people taking the big arm, despite everyone having given their utmost effort?

"I’ll hit you!" 102 swung the Short Spear directly at the Executioner’s head.

The Executioner swung her spear, and as 102 was exhausted, she quickly found herself outmatched, reduced to a defensive flurry.

"Don’t—" 101 watched in horror as her sister struggled.

"Any firepower unit attempting to interfere will be destroyed." The other Law Enforcer Witches flew around the arm, pointing their guns at the Nestor Corporation’s forces, clearly intending to cover for the Executioner as she brutally attacked 102.

was exceedingly tired; she swung her weapon aimlessly.

Boom!

The Executioner’s body suddenly flew backward.

Everything happened so fast that Jin Yuxiu almost felt she had missed so much, sure that she hadn’t blinked, yet the Executioner had been slammed back with a crash, falling hard onto the ground, blood gushing from her head, prompting the other Namisis Witches to fly down to administer aid.

"Ah—"

"What’s happening!"

"Lord Executioner..."

"Damn it..." The other Witches were still unsure of what exactly happened, shell-shocked.

A massive wound now gaped open atop the Executioner’s head, penetrating her skull, so gruesome that it was hard to determine what had struck her with such force.

"Eh?" 102 was somewhat perplexed; she swung her spear aimlessly again.

There was no repeat of the earlier incident, but the enemy Witches around her started to draw back as if they had seen a monster.

"Good! Get lost!" 102, full of vigor, pointed her spear at the others.

But the Namisis Group’s Shuttle Machines only got closer, their weapons loaded and fire control systems engaged, ready to eradicate all competitors on the spot.
