A meteor fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
Luke's eyes widened in surprise as figures walked out of the pillar of light one after another. They were all wearing strange white armour, and behind them was a radiance similar to a pair of wings. Before Luke could figure out what was going on, he saw a girl with short blonde hair trotting up to him with a gun in her arms. She bowed to him.
"Hello, I'm Chishou Natsuya, commander of the first army of the Tendo Temple. May I know where the current ruler of this city is?"
"I'm the acting lord."
Luke answered hurriedly while looking at the girl in front of him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Then, Your Excellency, what's the current situation of the city? Are there any people trapped? "
"We've evacuated most of the citizens to the shelter. As for the other forces, I can't contact them …. I'm sorry, but there's not much information …."
"I understand."
Chishou Natsuya nodded and turned around. Soon, he saw a few girls running up to him.
"Yan Zhu, Hina, Tsui, the three of you lead a team. With this city hall as the center, eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible and recover the lost land."
"What if there are people trapped?"
"Sister Illya and the others will take care of it."
Chishou Natsuya looked at the silver-haired girl beside him.
"Sister Illya, I'll have to trouble you to continue supporting the rear."
"No problem."
After a series of battles and getting used to each other, the little girls had more or less formed their own roles. Xia Shi and the other Cursed Children's Adjusters were in charge of the frontlines, while Illya and the other magical girls were in charge of clearing the enemy's rear and providing aid. After all, magical girls were relatively more versatile ….
"Then, Sister Atalanta, I'll have to trouble you here. Sister Midea, please come with us."
"Mmm, no problem."
Midea, who was holding her staff, smiled and followed beside Illya. Just in case, Fangzheng used Illya's' little Holy Grail 'to transfer a part of the authority of the Hall of Valhalla to her, so Illya could summon Einherjars directly through the Hall of Valhalla.
The Einherjars were also quite interested in exploring other planets.
At the same time, the battle had already begun.
As a matter of fact, as soon as the girls landed, most of them joined the battle on the front line. Laftalia led the Undead Knights as the vanguard while the rest of the Adjutants followed closely behind. The weapons in their hands weren't ordinary and they had no problem dealing with the swarm of insects.
Not only that, but even if there were more monsters, it didn't mean that the girls had no way to deal with them.
"Crash!!"
A group of monsters suddenly burrowed out of the ground and pounced on one of the teams from all directions. But soon, Xia Shi, who was in the middle of the team, raised his hand and clenched it tightly. Soon, a psionic storm spread out with her as the center. For a moment, only a tornado could be seen, and thunder rumbled, quickly devouring the unlucky monsters.
"Roar —!!"
A group of monsters waved their four arms and attacked a target in the distance. Their upper two arms were sharp like scythes, while their lower two hands were holding weapons that looked like they were made of some kind of flesh and blood. They were crazily pouring bullets at the girls.
However, the Undead Knights led by Laftalia didn't even have the intention to defend themselves. Instead, they charged straight into the enemy's hail of bullets. The bullets didn't even hit their bodies as they were reflected by a transparent barrier a meter away from them. Laftalia gripped the greatsword in her hand, rolled to close the distance between her and the monsters, and scuttled beneath them.
The monsters swung their scythe-like arms downwards, only to be cleaved into two by the flying greatsword.
Behind Raftalia and the others, the young ladies in armor clenched their guns and fired at the monsters. Luke could clearly see that the monsters' tough shells were as fragile as plastic in the face of the young ladies' weapons. Every bullet that hit the shells would blast a huge hole. As a result, under the attacks of these girls, the originally crazy and tyrannical monsters actually showed signs of faintly retreating.
"Haaaaargh!!!"
Yan Zhu leaped high into the air and landed heavily behind them. At first glance, she seemed to have gone in the wrong direction, but as she landed, the ground began to tremble. With Yan Zhu at the center, the ground collapsed in an instant. Yan Zhu kicked out with her foot. A moment later, along with a cloud of dust, a monster insect the size of a train flew out from the sand and soil and was kicked into the air. It screamed desperately and waved its curved, blade-like limbs on both sides of its body. Unfortunately, the monster obviously didn't have any flying skills. While it struggled desperately, Yan Zhu raised her head, stared at the monster, and leaped.
The monster was cut in half from the middle and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Fangzheng obtained information about these monsters from Xia Shi.
"Hmm, it looks like a swarm …."
"It's highly polluting …."
"It can be purified with holy light? This thing …. Forget it, let's not talk about science for now …. "
From Xia Shi's report, Fangzheng had a certain understanding of this race. Their combat units were very similar to a swarm, but there were also differences. These monsters didn't use 'Creep' to expand their territory. Instead, they would pollute everything, including the microorganisms in the soil. While there was no way to cleanse the contamination with scientific means, it could be cleansed with holy light. That was the result of Illya and the others' report. As the logistics team, they had rescued some of the trapped civilians, but there were also some who were attacked and corrupted by the monsters. They were then treated by Demetrius, and the conclusion was that medical glue and healing magic were ineffective against the contamination, but holy light and spells to remove curses were effective.
Was this science or magic?
As Fangzheng flipped through the records, he couldn't help but want to complain. But he was just complaining. After all, Fangzheng had also encountered subspace creatures that looked like demons from hell in the previous "I'm So Science" novel ….
But … .they really did resemble a swarm?
Almost every party's report would mention the impression of "resembling a swarm", and it seemed like it really did. Fangzheng also looked at the recordings they sent. Indeed, apart from the creatures with four arms, the other units were very similar to a swarm. And according to Xia Shi's battle report, those four-armed monsters seemed to have some kind of function similar to the Cerebrate of the swarm. As long as they were killed, the low-level monsters would immediately lose their original strict discipline and become a mass of loose sand.
But … .if their basic structure was similar to a swarm, did that mean they also had a clear will of a mastermind?
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
I'll give it a try.
After making up his mind, Fangzheng looked at the screen again.
"Iona."
"Yes, Commander."
"Release Descent Pod 2134."
"Understood."
Soon, a huge, black coffin-like descent pod flew down, passed through the atmosphere, and landed heavily on the ground. It quickly fell apart and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
But soon, a group of pitch-black Xenomorphs quietly crawled out from the pile of scrap metal. They hissed and looked at the surrounding city.
At the same time, Fangzheng's orders echoed in their minds.
"Find those monsters. Kill them. Absorb them. Assimilate them!"
"Hiss — —!"
The next moment, the Xenomorphs quickly dispersed and disappeared into the ruins in the blink of an eye.
In the dark shadows, the Xenomorphs shuttled forward like silent killers. They passed through the ruins on their hands and feet and arrived at the rear of the frontline. Here, the monsters were advancing desperately, madly killing all life they saw. But even so, these monsters didn't notice the Xenomorphs that had quietly sneaked into their midst ….
Hmm, maybe it's because they all look the same?
Shortly after, the Xenomorphs found a target.
It was a monster that looked like a human and also had two arms. But unlike the other monsters, it showed more human characteristics. Its face and body were more like a human's, and it wore human-like clothes, unlike the other monsters who didn't wear anything.
If it didn't appear here, this monster would obviously be treated as some kind of alien creature. But now, it seemed like a fish in water among the monsters and was obviously one of them.
It's so special. It's obviously an elite unit.
Looking at this scene, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up. Then, he controlled Xenomorph to stick close to the shadows and sneak through a gap in the sewer, silently arriving behind the monster. The monster was still focused on commanding the battle ahead and didn't seem to notice the shadow of death behind it.
Then, Fangzheng controlled Xenomorph and leaped up.
At the same time, the monster seemed to have finally noticed something. It yelled and turned around. In the blink of an eye, the instant it turned around, Xenomorph's tail easily penetrated its body and pinned it to the wall.
"— — —!"
Upon suffering this sudden attack, the monster shrieked. Then, it extended its tongue and pierced into Xenomorph's body.
At that moment, Fangzheng keenly sensed that the moment the monster's tongue pierced into Xenomorph's body, a strange biological substance also entered Xenomorph's body and began to spread rapidly!
Damn!
Upon realizing this, Fangzheng was taken aback.
I wanted to infect you, but you actually infected me instead?!
Interesting. Let's see who's stronger!
