Chapter 342: Wargod Encirclement



Chapter 342: Wargod Encirclement

"Where's Wind Spirit?" Zhang Bao'er suddenly noticed that Wind Spirit was not among the people present.

"She's taking care of Dondon on Skyhawk. Dondon is still recovering," replied Dodo.

Shortly after, all of us were seated. At that moment, I noticed a group of Wargod soldiers silently enter the hall and form an encirclement around us. I saw Zhang Xingxing signaling me with her eyes and immediately understood her meaning. I turned on my morph-capable shield, preparing for combat.

"Esteemed king, I still hope that you can consider my proposal and let the warriors of the Wargod race fight alongside us," persuaded Zhang Xingxing.

"The Kingdom of Kenante does not have the excess military strength to assist you. Maley betrayed us again. We're using a large amount of military strength to fight him," said King Carter.

For some reason, I was glad to hear that Maley had once again turned against Kenante.

Before long, the attendants served the first dish. The moment the lid over the dish was opened, we nearly fainted. This time, we weren't served big, green worms. Rather, we were served yellow worms with white hair growing on them. These worms even have bright red mouths.

The three Sacred Wing friends on the team were greatly disappointed. Apart from the Wargods, nobody would find such a meal appealing. I saw Official Dulite stuffing a worm into his mouth in excitement. With one bite, some yellow liquid sprayed out, and the lower half of the worm's body started wiggling outside the official's mouth.

Retching sounds rang out in the room as the Sacred Wings, Domo, and Zhang Bao'er started vomiting. Of the people in our group, Anxashe was the only person enjoying the meal.

"Anxashe, how can you eat something like this?" said Old Du helplessly.

"You must not be aware of this. This is an extremely rare delicacy. A big green worm needs no less than five years to evolve into a big yellow worm," said Anxashe, still immersed in the aftertaste.

"These ox-heads are too disgusting. I can't take this anymore. Give Anxashe the worm in front of me as well," said Zhang Bao'er.

Those were evidently a bad choice of words. The Wargods placed high importance on the feast they served their guests. Zhang Bao'er's words were very disrespectful to the king. All of the Wargods in the hall started hissing furiously.

"This is a trap," said Dodo through the communicator. They had come beside me without me realizing it.

"How do you know?" I asked, moving my lips but not making any sound.

"That King Carter has no food in front of him. Something is wrong. When I scanned with my laser probe, King Carter felt like an empty shell instead of an actual body," said Dodo. I was greatly shocked by that revelation.

"Is it possible that King Carter is sick? That's why he's meeting us with a shell?" I asked. Virtual projection was no longer a rare technology, so it wouldn't be surprising if the king had also adopted the same technology.

"All the guards are armed with heavy weapons. If we're doing something, we should do it fast. If we keep waiting, we might end up suppressed and trapped," said Dodo.

That was a critical moment. I had not expected King Carter to fall under Emperor Fille's control. This so-called neutral country only existed in name. We had all thrown ourselves into a trap, allowing the empire to capture all of us in one go.

"Contact Wind Spirit and Lin Feixue. Tell them to protect Skyhawk and prepare to reinforce us," I ordered.

At that time, something finally happened. The attendants rapidly removed the worms and served the seafood that we loved most. The savory smell filled the air, and the people who were complaining previously had their appetite triggered. Everyone was ready to start eating. However, Anxashe suddenly trembled and dropped onto the ground. He started rolling around in pain, to the point the table before him was flipped over during his struggle.

"This is bad! The food might be poisoned!" shouted Baron Sisse.

With that shout, the mood turned intense.

Official Dulite stood up and ordered, "On His Majesty's orders, arrest all of them! Not one of them can go!"

And thus, it was proven that this was indeed a trap.

"Bao'er, Old Du, prepare for combat. Release the smoke bombs. Kelly, protect Zhang Xingxing." I was already prepared, so after giving out orders, I jumped onto the table and released several smoke bombs inside the enclosed room.

Visibility dropped to an extremely low level as the rolling smoke filled the hall. I turned on my laser probe and relied on it to start firing at the Wargod soldiers with my laser gun.

Two Wargod soldiers were instantly knocked down. Zhang Xingxing had also maintained her calm in the chaos and was taking the lead to organize everyone to escape with the disturbance created by the smoke bombs.

However, the Wargods weren't known as Wargods for no reason. A burly military official made an odd sound, and when the other confused Wargod soldiers heard the sound, they all replied with odd sounds as well. Relying on their sounds, they repositioned themselves into a formation, then advanced in one direction.

"Shit! These soldiers blocked the exit. They're advancing toward us," said Old Du.

"Focus fire on the left side. Protect the prince and the commander at all costs," ordered Baron Sisse.

Relying on our superior morph-capable shields, we gathered on the left side of the hall. Both Zhang Bao'er and Old Du activated the tracking rifles attached to the back of their suits and their handheld guns to open a path forward. Working together, we advanced toward the left of the Wargod soldiers. They had not expected such a concentrated attack, so a few of them were immediately knocked down.

Taking the opportunity, we rushed toward the small opening in the enemy formation. But at that moment, a despairing scene appeared. More Wargod soldiers rushed into the hall through the entrance. It was obvious that King Carter had carefully planned our capture. First, he lured us away from our dangerous battleship and invited us to a feast surrounded by a large number of hidden soldiers.

Our concentrated attack created a small opening, but it also revealed our position in the smoke. The Wargods roared as they charged forth, blocking all of our possible escape routes.

"Everyone, enter defensive formation. Watch each other's backs," ordered Zhang Xingxing. We entered a circular defensive formation, surrounding the weaker Sacred Wings and Dodo in the middle.

At that point, the smoke was slowly dissipating. The Wargods must have turned on the ventilation system. We were fully exposed before their eyes.

"His Majesty orders that we prioritize capturing them alive," Dulite's voice rang out.

The roaring Wargods continued advancing while we calmly fired at them while maintaining our defensive formation. Before long, yet another group of Wargod soldiers was knocked down. However, there was a reason they were known as Wargods.

Several massive shieldbearers appeared from their formation and stood in front of the other soldiers. With their thick shields, they blocked our beams. Behind them, the other soldiers also raised smaller shields to defend against our tracking bullets.

"Everyone, get ready for close-range combat. I already issued the order to Lin Feixue. Skyhawk will be here soon. Persevere, everyone!" ordered Zhang Xingxing.

It was very unfortunate that our long-range weapons had basically been rendered ineffective. With their thick shields, the Wargod soldiers were marching toward us. I knew very clearly that with our combat prowess, facing these Wargods in close combat was basically suicide.

"Why is the fiend not here yet? That fellow is more than enough to deal with these fellows," said Zhang Bao'er.

That reminded me. I hurriedly spoke to Bulu, hoping that Bulu could contact the fiend mentally and ask for its assistance. However, we did not have much time left. The Wargod soldiers were going to reach us soon.

"Canyue, we're going to come into contact with these ox-heads soon. What should we do?" asked Zhang Bao'er nervously.

"What else can we do? Just fight with everything we have," I said as I fired madly, trying to slow their advance.

"Persevere, everyone. Lin Feixue is on the way with Skyhawk," roared Zhang Xingxing encouragingly.

"But Skyhawk needs to get through their divine bird before reaching us," said Old Du. He did not seem capable of lying.

Suddenly, a large club wrapped in electrical currents swept toward us. The force behind the club deformed our shield, instantly sending Zhang Bao'er out of our formation into the enemy's formation.

"Bao'er!" I roared anxiously and drew my laser pistol. With a roll, I also entered the enemy formation. With one blast from my pistol, I downed a Wargod soldier hiding behind his shield. There, I saw Zhang Bao'er lying on the ground.

"Bao'er, are you fine? I'm here for you!" I shouted.

Just as I was about to rush forward, I felt a heavy strike hit the back of my head. The force behind the hit was so strong that not even my morph-capable shield could fully neutralize it. My vision turned dark, and I lost my consciousness.
