Laplander opened the door and walked into the office.

This is an apartment that Accardo rented and converted to serve as the residence and workplace for the engineering department members.

Blood Demon nodded, “Was the interrogation successful?”

Laplander handed over a small storage chip that was removed from a camera.

From the moment she walked into the room and saw Accardo, she began wagging her tail involuntarily.

Because her body has turned “wagging her tail when seeing Akado” into a conditioned reflex.

From the perspective of racial characteristics and national culture, the Lupert people express their emotions through their tails. When they are angry, their tails will shake slightly, when they are happy, their tails will swing violently, and when they are embarrassed, their tails will droop.

The wagging range of the Lappland’s tail is quite large, and it is more appropriate to describe it as “flattering” rather than “happy”. Generally, this range of wagging is common in nightclubs or bars where call girls treat their customers. It is almost like courting and seeking love.

What Akado needs is a weapon that can carry out the mission unconditionally.

So he used this method to gradually defeat Lappland’s rebelliousness. It was despicable, but very effective.

As if on purpose, the projector in the office was playing a set of demonstration pictures of power armor.

Akado said vaguely, “Your recent performance is remarkable, but the intensity of the mission is also increasing. It’s time for you to further improve your strength.”

He suddenly threw a green date towards Lappland’s face, “Catch it.”

The white Rupert bit the green date subconsciously.

“Spit it out.”

Lappland did as he was told, and the tiny fruit fell to the ground with a thin string of saliva.

Accardo asked her, “Who are you?”

A fierce struggle flashed across Lappland’s face.

But under the secret prompting of some spells, she slowly lowered her head, then squatted on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, “I am Lappland, the master’s servant.”

“Very good, you will receive your own power armor next week.”

“…”Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

Lapland didn’t understand why she was crying.

It seemed like something very important was lost and could never be returned.

She spoke softly, as if saying goodbye to the free and unrestrained self.

“Wang~”

144. The Wolves’ Game

Ding, ding, ding…

The hammer hammered, driving long nails into the wooden stakes.

Construction workers wore raincoats and stood on scaffolding, working overtime.

It was raining heavily, and searchlights were waving pale beams of light around. Occasionally, a few cars drove at high speed along the road beside the city wall in the dim sky, causing a splash of water mixed with mud.

The thick puddles on the ground were shining brightly under the white light, and the falling rain created countless ripples.

The shield machine was running in the mud a little distance away, and the clanging sound was like lightning and thunder.

Ding, ding, ding…

The collision of metal and metal produced dazzling sparks.

The blood was diluted into pink by the rain and, along with the remaining life, it fell out of the body with a crackling sound.

The Lupo, covered in pitch-black armor, pulled out a long sword from the enemy’s chest, then turned around suddenly. The sword was so sharp that it could tear through the rain curtain and quickly cut the throat of a gang member approaching from behind.

Light and shadow interweave, accompanying life and death.

The enemies seemed to be pouring in from all directions of the street.

Texas breathed rapidly, and his body status was displayed on his visor.

[Remaining energy: 39% (at current power, estimated to be exhausted in 116 minutes). ]

[Damage extent: left arm -23%, right arm -11%, back -41%, right leg -52%, left leg -17%. ]

[Host status: Multiple muscle tears and subcutaneous bleeding were detected. The shoulders and back were under excessive pressure, and there was a suspected possibility of bone fracture. ]

“PRTS,” she parried the crossbow arrows from a distance and killed the nearest enemy, “check the remaining supplies.”

Several digital windows popped up on the visor.

[Remaining supplies:

Conventional stimulants (located on the outer armor of the shoulder deltoid muscle) (currently 33% remaining);

Powerful Stimulant (located behind the hip armor) (currently 100% remaining);

Pain-relieving needle (located on the outer armor of the deltoid muscle of the shoulder) (currently 100% remaining);

Springtrap knife – spare blade (located on the outside of the thigh) (currently 1/2 remaining);】

“Inject stimulants and painkillers,” Texas opened the armor on the outside of his thigh, pulled out a blade that was two palms long, then pressed down with his wrist, and a small groove connected to the pivot was revealed on the edge of the arm armor, which automatically grabbed the blade.

Then, the shaft and the blade began to spin at high speed. She suddenly raised her hand, leaned over, and chopped off the head of an approaching killer.

【Remaining energy: 37%.】

Hmm, Texas frowned.

While repelling the enemy, the injection needle also pierced into her deltoid muscle and buttocks.

After a brief sting, the drugs were injected into her tense muscles, bringing an indescribable feeling of strangeness and soreness.

The effect is indeed significant, at least the pain that has affected movement has been significantly alleviated.

The hinge mechanism on her arm fell off along with the blade. She moved her shoulders and began to use her sword to deal with the enemy again.

After wearing the power armor, no assassin in Syracuse could stand up to her. Even the most elite units couldn’t survive a few blows from her.

This refers to one-to-one.

If the number of enemies exceeds two digits.

Then, whether it was spells cast in secret, arrows fired, or swords falling from all directions, it would be impossible to completely dodge them.

The armor specially reinforced by Akado would not be destroyed in two or three hits, but damage was inevitable. Once the iron shell was damaged to the point where it could not function or its energy was exhausted, this talented last descendant of a Texas family would inevitably die.

It’s so exaggerated… Texas dodged the attacks of the crossbow turrets, and then in a flash, he swung his sword and knocked down a dagger thrown from the darkness.

This is a street in Volsini, which is about to be delisted.

Its name is Maffia, and it is the seat of the Saluzzo family.

It was here that Texas began his life as a Syracuse.

It also ends here.

She was somewhat helpless, as most of Syracuse’s assassins were in this city, and those besieging her were the most elite group.

Their target this time was not themselves, but the engineers responsible for the construction of the mobile city.

Texas’s job was to protect the program’s execution, so she didn’t budge.

This is going to be a tough situation. If I keep going like this, I’m going to die, Texas couldn’t help but think.

But she didn’t even have the slightest thought of retreating, she just clenched her swords tightly.

Akado is in this city, so she at least has the confidence to fight to the death – there will always be someone to help.

[PRTS: Crow Force accesses the communication channel. ]

[x: This is Fujin, cutting off the enemy’s support route.]

[y: This is Wuni, destroying the enemy’s long-range crossbow turret. ]

【…】

With the help of the Ravens, the pressure on Texas was suddenly relieved.

“Texas!” Suddenly someone shouted in the distance. It was a ray of light in the darkness, which seemed a little dazzling compared to the dim city behind it.

“Texas, here we come!”

She finally heard clearly that it was the voice of Croissant and Angelica.

An armored vehicle stumbled over and knocked Lupert, who had just raised his staff, flying head-on.

“The boss asked us to help you! Hey, why didn’t you tell us earlier about this exciting thing?”

Croissant kicked open the passenger door, blocking several arrows aimed at Texas, and jumped out of the car holding a large shield.

The Archangel was in the gap of the car window, holding the guardian gun and making precise attacks on the enemies outside.

See, Texas is not alone.

*

The rain stopped, leaving the streets in ruins… Houses collapsed, broken glass was scattered everywhere, mixed with blood and crawling on the ground like snakes.

A group of men in suits and ties rushed into the darkness in the light of dawn. They were here to deal with the bodies.

The construction of New Volsini is proceeding vigorously.

Texas finally got its day off.

In order not to affect other people in Penguin Logistics, she had been involved in various gang fights in Volsini all night long some time ago, and last night she received the task of protecting the construction team.

If the crows had not been in place, Texas would have definitely died in the siege.

She was discovered after all… She sighed, glanced at the two girls sleeping soundly in the back seat of the shabby car, parked the car, and returned to the apartment building first.

Until the news of Saluzzo’s destruction spread completely, the mafia families that were ready to make a move finally fell silent.

No one dared to disturb the construction of the new city anymore.

No one dared to kill Texas. The bodies piled up on the streets of the Mafia were enough to fill a convoy of trucks.

She returned to her room and immediately took off her battered power armor.

The smell of sweat mixed with shampoo was dried by body temperature for a long time, so it was not unpleasant.

Two pairs of stockings that were completely soaked by rain or sweat were thrown into a small basin at the bathroom door.

Texas took off all his clothes, and his fair body was also covered with scars.

The blade or dagger cut into her flesh along the gap in the armor.

After swinging the sword for a long time with high intensity, her arms were extremely sore, and the muscles in her shoulders and back were over-strained, appearing a little red and swollen.

The skin was covered with purple and blue patches caused by blunt trauma.

She threw the wet sports bra in her hand into another small basin, then hurried into the bathroom. The spring in Syracuse was terribly cold. It wasn’t as cold as Ursus, where the skin felt like it was being cut by a knife, but this damp cold was like a spell cast by the Leitanians, a cold that penetrated the skin.

As the hot water flowed over my body, all the fatigue suddenly came up.

My whole body was in intense pain, and the wounds that had long since healed were oozing blood.

Texas took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes.

Finally I can rest.

Tomorrow, please invite Angelica and Croissant to have a meal.

As she thought about it, fatigue dragged her consciousness into the harbor of sleep, and she fell asleep in the bathtub.

Fu Jin helped her keep the water temperature constant, then turned on the ventilator and disappeared into the bathroom like a ball of black mist.

None of these colleagues are worry-free. She shook her head and hurried to report to Akado.

*

Outside Volsiny, a dark pack of wolves waited eagerly.

Until a messenger trembled and knelt before them.

“…”

“So, someone broke the rules?”

“Just an outsider.”
