I rely on myself

Chapter 755 Encirclement and Breakout

A middle-aged man in military uniform was looking at a map carefully in a tent. He saw various symbols and routes densely marked on the map, which showed that a lot of effort had been put into it.

The man looked at the map with a frown. They had searched the surrounding area over the past few days, but could not find any trace of Domon Kirara. There were only a bunch of encrypted symbols that were said to be within the Izanagi clan.

"What's going on? According to the symbols left behind, the head of the Hua clan should be nearby. Why can't we find him... or have we been misled?"

He couldn't help but think like that. After all, so many days and so many people had spent time and effort, but in the end, nothing was achieved. Anyone would be suspicious.

At the same time, our country was constantly sending messages urging us to find Domon Kirara as soon as possible.

Under multiple pressures, the middle-aged man in military uniform was not crushed, but just suffered from insomnia. This was all due to his good ability to withstand pressure. But even so, it would not be a solution if he continued like this, so he has begun to consider whether to change his way of thinking to look for the answer.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of an explosion suddenly occurred!
Even though he was in the tent, he could clearly hear the sound of the explosion, as well as the violent vibration. Many items in the tent fell to the ground due to the sudden vibration.

What’s more important is that the explosions and vibrations didn’t happen once or twice, but continuously. Such familiar noises suddenly reminded him of something, and his face instantly became solemn.

"This noise... is an explosion, an artillery attack! What's going on? Although this is in the suburbs, it's not far from Liverpool. Which army is attacking us?"

The man had many doubts, but soon some of them were answered by his subordinates.

"report!"

At this time, one of the men rushed into the tent shouting. The situation was critical, so the man rushed in without waiting for the man's response. The man also understood this and asked directly.

"What's going on outside?"

"Report, a mobile troop suddenly appeared outside the camp and launched an attack on us. Although our troops have begun to fight back, we estimate that they will not be able to hold out for long. Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The man who heard this didn't say much, but stood up and walked straight outside, wanting to see the situation outside with his own eyes.

The situation outside was not optimistic at this time. A simple camp was being attacked by a large number of organized mechanical puppets.

Although the people in the camp also took up weapons to fight back, because they were all spies, they only carried small portable weapons such as pistols, and the more powerful ones were rifles. Their power could only slightly repel the mechanical dolls at most, and was not enough to destroy them. They could only delay time a little.

On the other hand, the attacking mechanized troops were far superior in terms of basic capabilities alone, not to mention that they were equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and the like.

The reason they have been able to hold out until now is thanks to their high quality as spies, but even so they can't hold out for long.

This is what the commander saw when he walked out of the tent. His men had been completely suppressed. If it weren't for this simple camp, they would have been defeated. But now it doesn't matter much. At the first glance, the man knew where these smart troops attacking them came from. They were————

"Aren't these puppets the guards of Liverpool? Could it be that the ones who attacked us were the British guys?"

Although the Royal Walpurgis School of Mechanical Engineering has political independence, it is located in the United Kingdom after all, so the garrison in the entire city of Liverpool is still the responsibility of the British army.

Normally, these stationed troops are not common. Only a small number of them are responsible for guarding important transportation places such as docks and stations, and patrolling the city. Other than that, most of the troops stay in their garrisons.

The ones attacking the camp at this time were the mechanical troops. Although there were some other types of mechanical dolls mixed in, the main component was still the mechanical dolls of the British military.

"Wait! Something's wrong!"

At this moment, the commander suddenly realized something. He continued to observe carefully just in case and was sure that he had not seen something crucial from this mechanical unit, that is, the person who operated this mechanical unit!
As we all know, mechanical dolls themselves cannot generate magic power, so they need dollmakers to exist and provide them with magic power.

In order to solve this problem, using taboo dolls made of living materials is one of the methods, and the same is true for divine machines.

It does not require the existence of a puppeteer, but is able to generate magic power and move on its own, a complete existence. This is exactly the divine ingenuity that modern mechanical magic pursues.

The mechanical troops in front of them were obviously not like that, but there was definitely no puppet master among them, not even one.

This scene reminded the commander of a major event that happened in the city of Liverpool two months ago.

"Absolute royal power! But how is that possible? Isn't it that only the Black Prince Edmund and his developers have complete information about him? Why is he here?"

Although he had many doubts, it did not affect the commander's reasonable command. He immediately ordered his subordinates: "Have someone pack up the important information immediately, and notify everyone to prepare to break out. If we continue to stay here, we will all be wiped out. Let's retreat first!"

The subordinates who received the order did not dare to delay and passed it on immediately. Immediately, everyone in the entire camp started to work and quickly packed up some important information. As for the other things, they had to give up.

Soon, as all the important information was collected, the commander was very decisive and immediately commanded all the people to successfully break out of a weak point in the encirclement.

He was not worried that this was a trap, because he had already used some actions to test the incoming mechanical troops. Because of the absolute kingship, they did not need the puppeteers to provide magic power, but on the other hand, the intelligence of these mechanical puppets themselves was not outstanding.

They may be able to understand some instructions, but more difficult things, such as seeing through the enemy's plans, are not something they can do.

It was precisely because of this that the commander was so confident in leading his troops to break out of this place, and the result was indeed as he expected.
