222: Encircle the points to reinforce 222: Encircle the points to reinforce Mr.
Benjamin wasn’t boasting—the manor indeed had formidable defenses.
Hidden trenches were set up in all directions, and there were bunkers reinforced with steel plates on the high ground, forming a three-dinsional crossfire.
The Guards tasked with defending the manor were all elite, led by the one-eyed man Simon.
Invaders would have to pay a heavy price to take this place.
But at this mont, the entire manor was in a state of panic.
Listening to the jumbled, strange shrieks coming through the radio, anyone would know that their main forces had been annihilated.
Simon stayed in the high bunker, his mind completely befuddled.
Who were the invaders?
How many were there?
Could they really have wiped out ten Companies of Guards in 15 minutes?
And how could an ard helicopter flying in the sky be hijacked?
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure it out.
The enemy had already arrived!
Six Flying Swords whistled in first.
To save on spiritual energy, Lu Li only let them strike at a speed of 200 ters per second, which was more than enough against ordinary people.
The Flying Swords each chose a direction to shoot, moving like fish through water—swift and nimble, they passed through the shooting ports and entered the defensive fortifications in a flash.
Gunfire erupted, screams mixed with the sounds of flesh tearing apart, and within seconds, silence descended within the defenses.
Imdiately after, helicopter “Deer” roared in with 0 piloting it.
Simon finally saw a target he could retaliate against and without a second thought, he shouldered the Stinger missile and took aim.
But before he could lock onto the target, the AT6 missile hanging underneath the helicopter’s left side fired first, zooming towards him with a fierce tail fla.
Despite being the One-eyed Dragon, Simon’s reflexes were fast.
He imdiately threw away the “Stinger” and dashed out of the bunker.
Flas erupted behind him, and the defensive works along with several Guards who hadn’t managed to escape were blown to pieces.
Simon was thrown a great distance by the Shock Wave but managed to stand up after coughing out two mouthfuls of dirt.
The AT6 was subsonic, and he evaded most of the blast in ti.
Then, two more violent explosions rang above his head, and every strategic high point was destroyed by the ard helicopter.
Dirt and rocks thundered down, and Simon scrambled to flee.
Once the dust settled, there was no more resistance in the manor.
Simon, covered in dirt and gasping for air, managed to get up clumsily, only to see a clean and fresh-faced young man casually walking over.
“It’s the Eastern Person from that bitch’s side!
The attack was orchestrated by the governnt!”
Simon’s eye widened as he imdiately recognized Lu Li.
Lu Li was making his unhurried way to the manor.
First, he concentrated his gaze, destroying the surveillance, then activated Heavenly Eye to locate the drug lord.
“Underground.”
Through Heavenly Eye, Lu Li saw a not-so-small space beneath the main building of the manor, nearing 500 square ters.
Two n were hiding inside, probably the drug lord.
He also faintly spotted quite a lot of tal, but couldn’t make out the details through the more than 6 ters thick layer of earth.
No need to bother with that yet; he still had to set up a siege and hunt for more souls.
At that mont, Simon, with hands raised high, shouted as he walked over:
“Don’t shoot!
Let’s talk!”
Lu Li stopped his subordinates with a single thought, curious to hear what the man had to say.
Approaching closer, Simon yelled out:
“Eastern person!
I’ve already called for reinforcents, and soon 10,000 soldiers will surround this place.
The wisest thing for you to do now is to leave imdiately!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Li simply smiled faintly, “I see, thank you for the heads up.
Goodbye.”
“Hold on…”
Simon completely failed to understand the other’s thought process—why did he seem so pleased?
He wanted to say more, but Ah Da picked up the heavy machine gun and fired three burst shots, “Boom, boom, boom,” turning him into a pile of mush.
“Prepare to welco our guests.”
Lu Li summoned the Flying Swords and replenished each with a tenth of his Spirit power.
At the sa ti, he ordered “No.
0” to land the helicopter on the helipad.
The hangar was stocked with ammunition and aviation fuel, ready for resupply.
However, he still needed to consult with Aurora, so Lu Li imdiately started a video call.
And she, equally anxious, picked up the call right away, bombarding him with questions:
“How are things?
Have you taken out Benjamin?”
Lu Li lifted his phone and scanned the surroundings before replying,
“We’ve just taken the manor, but Benjamin has hidden himself in an underground safe room.
His reinforcents are about to arrive.
Tell how to load the ard helicopter with ammunition.”
“Okay, okay!
Umm… first insert the rocket warheads outward into the launch nest; to change the machine gun belt, you need to remove the side armor plates…” Aurora explained concisely.
As she instructed, the two Puppets proceeded with each task, moving quickly and efficiently, even more so than actual machines.
During this brief interval, Lu Li also replenished each Puppet with a tenth of his Spirit power.
After so much fighting, both were sowhat damaged.
Especially Ah Da, who had a half-centiter deep scar on his face from a 12.7mm Tungsten Core Bullet.
Now, as he consud his soul and Spirit power, the scar slowly healed, just like when the Kunlun Mirror self-repaired.
Once the helicopter was loaded, Lu Li’s creations were all back in action.
And the drug lord’s first wave of reinforcents had arrived.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The situation was urgent, and Mr.
Benjamin had called upon all his ard forces for backup.
But the ones to arrive first were a group…
of ard civilians.
These were the nearby opium farrs, their numbers swelling to over a thousand.
Ard with a variety of guns, they were filled with righteous indignation:
“Mr.
Benjamin has suffered a shaful attack!
It must be the governnt’s doing!”
“Damn leeches!
How good a man is Mr.
Benjamin!
We must protect him!”
The crowd shouted loudly, weapons raised high, determined to defend their benefactor, their spirits high.
But as they marched, they were stopped by No.
0 and Ah Da.
Facing the two oddly dressed figures, the crowd yelled, “Who are you?
What do you want to do!”
No.
0 growled in a hoarse voice, “Leave, or die!”
“You’ll be the one to die!
You mongrel!”
The crowd aid their guns and fired at the two Puppets, bullets scattering everywhere like a heavy rain.
But what they didn’t realize was that the very mont the guns sounded, they had also shattered their only chance of survival.
No.
0 and Ah Da imdiately responded with their heavy machine guns, a terrifying storm of bullets ripped through the crowd, bursting open a series of flesh and blood.
Minutes later, the entire first wave of reinforcents was wiped out without a chance to beg for rcy.
Seeing all this through his Spiritual Senses, Lu Li rely shrugged his shoulders and ordered the Puppets to return.
The Flying Swords discovered that a 2,000-strong elite force of the drug lord’s guard was not far off.
Benjamin’s elite ard forces numbered in the tens of thousands, and the ones arriving now were in charge of guarding the Opium Factory.
Lu Li had the two Puppets pilot the helicopter to take off, this ti letting Ah Da learn how to fly it while No.
0 only carried the heavy machine gun into the transport bay, serving as an additional firepower point.
At the sa ti, Lu Li ordered the “Shadow Painting Sword” to specifically protect the helicopter.
Ard helicopters may pack powerful firepower, but they’re quite fragile.
Not only does Blue Star have man-portable air-defense systems, but Otherworld’s Flying Swords also posed a significant threat.
Lu Li felt that appropriate protective asures were needed, and this upcoming battle would be a good opportunity to test them out.
