Chapter 394 The Savior of the Patriots Who Respect the King
Da da da—
Gunfire echoed underground, bullets struck the iron wall, or bounced off flesh and blood, or were blocked by the exoskeleton armor.
When organized Western Allied forces entered, the stench of blood spread layer by layer underground.
One-star and two-star warriors have stronger vitality than ordinary people, but they are still vulnerable to a large number of bullets.
Even a three-star warrior, whose body is filled with qi and whose essence is inexhaustible, cannot sustain such a barrage of bullets indefinitely.
The four stars above that level are dealt with by the same four-star warriors.
As for five-star and six-star, those are far too few.
Of course, Western Union soldiers also suffered casualties, but compared to the other side, they were far fewer.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
The group, wielding samurai swords, abandoned one corpse after another and frantically retreated to deeper floors.
"Group Leader Sarutobi, we can't contact the other groups."
The man in the tight-fitting combat suit slashed through several soldiers with his sword energy as he retreated, hearing bad news from his team members.
"The communication signal is being jammed."
However, the other party can communicate normally.
Sarutobi shifted his feet, dodging the incoming bullets, while scanning his surroundings to see the soldiers systematically surrounding him.
The enemy soldiers were all wearing exoskeleton armor, so they should have communication equipment that was immune to interference.
However, their own side was unable to communicate and was in disarray.
At this rate, there's no way to win.
With that in mind, Sarutobi decided to force his way out and try to seize an exoskeleton armor to see if he could use its communication equipment to contact other people, or the leader, Kamiizumi Muneshige.
"How about you listen to my suggestion?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the earpiece.
Has someone broken through the signal interference?
"Who are you?"
Sarutobi leaped and bounded with incredible agility, quickly widening the distance while also tentatively asking a question.
The other person's voice was unfamiliar, so they probably weren't acquaintances, but their Japanese was very authentic.
"The one who killed Nobuhiro Abe." A soft laugh came through the earpiece.
"It was you who brought these Western Union people here!"
Sarutobi couldn't help but grit his teeth.
If Abe Nobuhiro had truly been killed by their own side, that would be one thing. But someone killed Abe Nobuhiro and then proclaimed himself a loyalist to the emperor; it's not a pleasant feeling to be blamed for someone else's actions.
"But the reputation belongs to those who uphold the king, doesn't it?"
The other person's voice was calm and composed. "Besides, do you have any other options?"
No more.
Only seven men remained in their group, with two more injured. If they continued, they would be wiped out sooner or later.
"A hundred meters behind you, around the corner, are four exoskeleton suits. If you want to survive, go put them on."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi didn't have time to think and immediately shouted, "Turn around the corner in a hundred meters and see if there's anything there!"
While shouting, Sarutobi advanced instead of retreating, his figure flashing as he turned and attacked the Western Alliance soldiers.
He channeled his inner energy, deflecting the barrage of bullets, and simultaneously sheathed his sword. He then reached out and grabbed the arm of a Western Union soldier.
"Wind Sweep".
The exoskeleton armor arm made a cracking sound, as if bones were being twisted, and then the whole body spun in the air before slamming heavily to the ground.
boom!
The exoskeleton armor, which can effectively resist sharp blades, also has the effect of reducing blunt force, but the soldier inside was still shocked to death by the impact, which shattered his internal organs.
With a single strike, Sarutobi used the corpse in his hand as a weapon, swinging it swiftly to sweep away the remaining soldiers who were attacking him.
At the same time, the sound of machine gun fire suddenly rang out, and a hail of bullets hit the soldiers, forcing them to retreat.
"Team leader, it's a portable exoskeleton armor."
A figure wearing exoskeleton armor approached rapidly, and the voice of the second-in-command, Yamashita, came from inside.
At the same time, an iron box was handed to Sarutobi.
Sarutobi immediately recognized it as a Western Union portable exoskeleton armor, the kind of armor that only Western Union lieutenant-level officers could use, and ordinary soldiers could not use it.
Although the King's patriots wore samurai attire, they did not completely reject technology; the main problem was that they could not obtain Western Union military equipment.
If they actually had equipment, they wouldn't discard it so easily; they could simply wear a robe over their armor.
Sarutobi immediately pressed his hand against the front of the iron box.
The required identity verification was skipped. The box separated, transformed, and the parts came together on Sarutobi's body. Before long, a dark blue figure stood tall.
He clenched his fist, feeling the power of the armor, and was overjoyed. He immediately took a big step and charged towards the enemy ahead, braving the hail of bullets.
Fists, palms, elbows, legs—every part of his body became a killing weapon.
Although it cannot be controlled as freely as the body, the amplified power is enough to make up for it.
When Sarutobi swept through like a storm, all of the dozen or so enemies were already dead.
"This is the power of the Western Union armor..." Sarutobi looked at the corpses on the ground and let out a strange sigh.
He was a four-star martial artist, but he had been chased and beaten by a group of two-star and three-star martial artists before.
One reason was to protect the team members, and another was that the enemy's exoskeleton armor was too tough.
While an exoskeleton might not necessarily allow a low-star warrior to kill a four-star warrior, the armor would definitely greatly reduce the chances of being killed by a four-star warrior.
If they get bogged down, the next wave of troops might catch up with equipment that interferes with their vital energy. At that point, even if Sarutobi is a four-star warrior, he will surely die.
This is why exoskeleton armor is one of the best-selling pieces of equipment on the black market. Every year, people smuggle abandoned armor from Dongxia over, repair it, and then it's snapped up at high prices.
"Now, do you believe me?"
The voice came again, but this time it came from the earpiece built into the armor.
Sarutobi was taken aback, realizing even more how powerful the other party was, but because of the other party's actions, he still chose to believe him.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"You don't need to do anything, just follow my orders."
The other person's voice was like a gentle breeze, entering Sarutobi's ears and making him subconsciously feel compliant, leaving an invisible imprint on his consciousness.
If the opponent does not resist, the energy expenditure will decrease accordingly, which is the same principle as using words to make law work on a weak person.
In the pitch-black building, Bai Ze looked at the topographical map before him, his gaze focusing on a single green dot. ...
..
Since we're going to use it on a large scale, let's try to reduce consumption as much as possible.
"From now on, you are number one."
"Now, Number One, go to the seventeenth floor, rescue your comrades, and then bring them into my hands."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Sarutobi's voice rang out, and he became extremely obedient.
The green dots on the topographic map began to move rapidly, recruiting the next batch of subordinates for Bai Ze.
"The royalist patriots of Namba City are mine."
