After an unknown amount of time, the gunfire outside gradually dissipated. It seemed that the war was coming to an end. Ed moved a chair and was about to sit down to rest when a series of tiny footsteps came from outside the shop. He immediately bounced up, clenched his rifle, leaned against the door, and listened carefully.

“My lord, it’s really hard for you. You even took the time to pick out clothes for an old woman like me while you were busy.”

“You’re welcome …”

It was a woman’s voice. Her voice was gentle and mature, with a hint of charm. There was even a trace of teasing in her respectful tone. Then there was a young man’s voice, his tone filled with helplessness, as if he was somewhat reluctant.

“Eh?” With a hint of doubt, the footsteps stopped outside the door. “There’s a clothing store here.” Then, his voice condensed and entered Ed’s ears as if it were real. “Four little mice, come out.”

The voice wasn’t loud, but it was clear and translucent. It was like a demonic voice echoing in one’s mind, causing one to involuntarily put down their weapons. Outside the shop, Ed saw a tall woman in a tight leather coat and a young officer in a black tarpaulin uniform and wide-brimmed sunglasses.

The officer, whom he had seen, often stood beside Hagrid, the commander of the guard. Although he did not have a specific post, his status was definitely not low.

“Good afternoon, sir.” Ed raised his hand and saluted. The second and third elders behind him also saluted.

“Yes.” The officer nodded and walked past them into the shop.

After following Tie Zha in, Selma looked at the wardrobe and picked up her clothes.

“What color do you think I should wear at the celebration dinner tonight?” Selma asked.

“Red.” “Red is too dirt.” “White?” “I don’t like white.” “Light blue?” “That’s the color of a priest’s robe. I’m tired of wearing it.” “Green?” “I don’t like to be a foil.”

Just as Tie Zha was feeling extremely depressed, on the other side of the battlefield, a few kilometers away from Hirano Stronghold, two figures lifted the camouflage cloth covering their backs and stood up.

Both of them wore second-generation psionic power armor. One was tall and had brown hair and blue eyes, while the other was medium-sized and had black hair and black eyes. They all had interactions with Tie Zha, one was Edward Southey, the other was Jiang Bowen.

Edward was Mu Qianhe’s third boyfriend and had targeted Tie Zha. During the Tyre Guards War, afraid of Tie Zha’s revenge, he betrayed humanity and joined the camp of the Crimson Queen, Salazar Baikal Amber. Jiang Bowen peeked at Mu Qianhe’s wealth and beauty, wanting to marry him through extraordinary means, but he was overwhelmed by Tie Zha, who arrived in time, and lost the chance.

“That female Saint Rank should be in the Hirano Stronghold.” Edward judged.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Bowen was puzzled. They had been observing this place for more than three hours, but they didn’t see any Saint-ranked experts at all.

“Could it be that I went back to report that I found nothing?” Edward asked.

Jiang Bowen immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up. Then, his face sank and he gritted his teeth and said, “I saw the Vermillion Bird Guild’s mecha just now. That bitch also came.”

“How much enmity do you have with her?” Edward asked with a smile.

“That bitch and her lover are in cahoots, causing me to have no choice …” Jiang Bowen said with a sinister expression. “This vengeance is not for a gentleman!”

“Don’t worry, as long as you follow the Queen, there will be plenty of opportunities.” Edward said in a hoarse voice, “Wait until you catch her and set up a cultivation pool. You can do whatever you want.”

“I will definitely make her regret being a woman.” Jiang Bowen sneered, his eyes glittering with obscenity. Then he said, “Oh right, that bitch is here. Could her lover also be here?”

“En” Edward thought for a moment and nodded. “It’s possible” He continued to analyze. “That person has a very close relationship with Muyu Ling Lan. Perhaps Crimson Peak Stronghold is related to him.”

“I want to kill him!” Jiang Bowen clenched his fists and said hatefully.

“Relax, buddy …” Edward put his arm around his shoulder and said, “I want to kill him more than anyone else, but if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to do anything right now. I’m proud to be a little Guild Leader.” He pointed at the Hirano Stronghold on the distant horizon and continued, “Look, we can decide the fate of one stronghold, or even dozens of strongholds.”

Jiang Bowen nodded thoughtfully as he listened to his companion’s consolation.

“Let’s go.” Edward patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them soared into the air and flew off into the distance.

A moment later, in front of the commander’s office in Hirano Stronghold, Hagrid, dressed in mechanical power armor, pushed open the door and entered with a few bounty warriors.

At this moment, the office was in a mess, filled with scattered documents and debris. Several white figures were stirring in the corner, and from time to time, deep breathing sounds and women’s sobs could be heard.

One of the Hirano soldiers saw someone enter and fell to the ground in panic. He found a pistol from his clothes and pulled it out.

“Bang!”

Hagrid raised his hand and sprayed blood on the soldier’s forehead as he fell backwards.

Hearing the gunshots, the soldiers who were still enjoying themselves turned around at the same time and looked at the heavily armed Chifeng warriors with horror on their faces.

“Fuck off.” Hagrid only said one word, and the Hirano Guards picked up the clothes on the ground and ran out with their heads lowered. Hagrid picked up a military uniform from the ground and covered it with green bruises as he looked at the woman paralyzed in the corner.

The woman’s gaze was a little dull, and she didn’t react to Hagrid’s movements, just like a corpse.

“Boss, Dazhi Tokuda has been shot.” A bounty warrior reported.

“Are you still alive?” Hagrid asked.

“I’m still breathing.” The bounty warrior said.

“Have the paramedics save him.” Hagrid instructed.

“What” The bounty warrior was puzzled. Using precious healing needles on the enemy was too wasteful.

“This is the request of the friendly forces. Hurry up and go.” Hagrid raised his hand, signaling for the other party to do as he pleased.

“Yes.” The bounty warrior immediately trotted out. Soon after, he called for a paramedic and began to rescue Dazhi Tokuda.

Half an hour later, the war was over and the remaining soldiers and civilians were under control. Order gradually returned to the stronghold.

The medical center was reopened and the soldiers’ dormitory was used as a temporary ward and was filled with wounded people. The command center was tidied up as a temporary headquarters for the coalition forces.

After three hours of statistics, the results of the battle damage came out. Hagrid looked at the report and couldn’t help but frown.

During the battle at the stronghold, the New Rain Legion had the best discipline and was the last to enter the city, so there wasn’t much damage. Although the Belle Foundation was the first to enter the city and lost more than ninety people, their discipline was still acceptable. There weren’t many incidents of rape and looting.

Crimson Peak Stronghold’s discipline was the worst. Although the initial battle did not cause much damage, only twenty or so people died in formation battles. However, after entering the city, more than 70 people had died at the hands of the Black Pig Group alone. The berserk and masochistic nature of the insecticides was undoubtedly evident.

The Black Pig King complained to him, saying that killing one of his own people was already soft, and he didn’t want to do it again next time. He couldn’t help but sigh. Without a firm belief and a sufficient sense of honor, insecticides were simply not suited to form an army. Moreover, as a temporary gendarmerie, the Black Pig Group had a lot of problems. These people were all from the southern cemetery, and their personalities were even more tyrannical. However, their relatively special status allowed them to slightly restrain themselves.

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Wenke angrily walked in.

“These thugs won’t even let go of children!” Zhao Wenke threw a report on the coffee table. That was the report of two members of the Sand Fox Group barbecuing human meat in the kitchen.

Hagrid felt his chest heavy after only a few glances.

“Let’s see what we can do.” Hagrid pushed the report to the Black Pig King. These two were both old subordinates of the Black Pig King, and their combat strength was extraordinary. We still need to listen to his opinion on how to deal with them.

“What’s the big deal? They didn’t kill them. They just happened to pass by and bumped into them.” The Black Pig King said impatiently. In the southern cemetery, this was not unusual. Although he also felt a little disgusted, after all, he had followed him for so many years, so he couldn’t be executed just because of such a small matter.

“This is no small matter!” Zhao Wenke said in a deep voice.

“Then what do you think we should do?” The Black Pig King crossed his chest and asked.

“Deal with it according to the rules.” Zhao Wenke said.

“What rules did you set?” The Black Pig King stood up.

“Brother, this is human eating, animal behavior!” Zhao Wenke said excitedly.

“I’ve eaten it before during the famine. If you want to deal with it, deal with me first.” The Black Pig King opened his eyes wide and said without concession.

“Stop arguing!” Seeing that the two of them were about to make a move, Hagrid hurriedly shouted, “What do you think? Let’s talk about it when Fifth arrives.” With that, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Tie Zha to come up.

Not long after, Tie Zha arrived, followed by Selma. After listening to the situation, looking at Zhao Wenke and the Black Pig King’s expectant expressions, Tie Zha fell into deep thought …

At the same time, on the second floor of the stronghold, in a two-person dormitory serving as a temporary detention facility, two bounty fighters were involved. One was sitting on the edge of a shelf bed, while the other was walking back and forth inside the room.

“I shouldn’t have listened to you …” said the one walking back and forth. “What did you say you haven’t eaten? Try it.”

“Big Head Bee, how can you blame me? Didn’t you tell me that it was delicious to see someone else eat it before?” The one sitting on the edge of the bed said.

“That’s …” The bounty warrior called the Big-Headed Bee sighed and said, “Look at this. What should we do now?”

“It’s fine. Boss Black will definitely help us.” Another bounty warrior said, “Besides, didn’t that child die? We didn’t kill him.” His nickname was “Flower Ladybug”, and he had been running around with the Black Pig King since he was fourteen years old. He had been on good terms for more than ten years now.

“I hope so.” Bighead Bee sighed. He was also an old friend of the Black Pig King, but he felt that he shouldn’t cause trouble for the boss. After all, the Black Pig King didn’t have the final say here.
