NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Click——!

Under the lieutenant's control, the long-lost sound of the bolt being pulled rang out from a long gun called "Florian." This gun did not come from the Ark, but was personally tuned and made by Snow White for Phoenix in the Garden of Eden.

The gun's overall color scheme is predominantly blue and white, with a futuristic design. Its most distinctive feature is its wide, box-shaped barrel, which appears somewhat bulky and does not conform to the compact, lightweight, and convenient combat principles required for urban warfare weapons.

However, the moment Phoenix learned that the Florian's box-type adaptive barrel could use 12mm to 32mm cartridges, all its shortcomings ceased to be shortcomings.

If he wanted, he could even obtain gunpowder-based ammunition from Leitcher's ammunition box to sustain himself.

"set off!"

At the lieutenant's command, all eighteen Nikis rushed towards the north of the Sky Ring.

……

Clang!

The battle between the sister swordswomen continued, but as Phoenix led her troops in an attempt to bypass them and rush into the Sky Ring, Normantchesh keenly sensed Crimson Lotus's intentions.

It turns out the other party didn't come to spar or duel with her...

Luring the tiger away from the mountain...

"Hehe, you're not being honest~"

Easily deflecting the raging onslaught of the Crimson Lotus, Rose, with a smile on her face, suddenly increased her speed and rushed straight towards the Special Squadron's location.

At that very moment, Bai Xue, who had already locked onto her target while mixed in with the squadron, suddenly broke away from the group, raised her gun, and pulled the trigger of the electromagnetic cannon...

boom--! ! !

The low, buzzing sound of gunfire shook the earth, and a dazzling spark exploded in front of Normantechesh.

bullet,

As expected, it was cleaved in two by the swordsman's longsword.

Just like when Little Red Riding Hood and Crimson Lotus sparred, only this time, the protagonists are the adult Snow White and Crimson Lotus's older sister.

Chapter 269 So familiar, it was like being back home.

Since Rachel and Niki both have varying degrees of strength, then heretics also have varying degrees of strength.

For example, Anachiolus, who was once Cinderella, once achieved the amazing feat of taking on Dorothy, Snow White, Crimson Lotus, Rapunzel, and Little Red Riding Hood all by himself.

Although Anaquiole was defeated by the goddess's forces without Lilivis after a fierce battle, this did not diminish the terrifying combat power she displayed.

For example, Normantechesh...

Even when she's at full power, this older sister is able to fight neck and neck with the three goddesses of victory: Crimson Lotus, Snow White, and Dorothy.

Unfortunately, fighting three against one was her limit, and Rose could only watch helplessly as the commander, whose modification rate was not low, led a group of Nikis and disappeared in the direction of the Sky Ring.

"Have you all thought about this? Tianhuan was occupied by Lecher for nearly a hundred years. The Tianhuan you know is not the same building as the Tianhuan we know today."

The black-haired swordsman, who had cleaved through the snow's bullets and dodged Dorothy's energy beams, calmly gazed at his sister as he parried Crimson Lotus's attack and said:

"He will die. Even with a dozen or so Nikis protecting him, he is destined to die in Sky Ring."

"Why are you still so long-winded even after you became a heretic?"

In response to Rose's narration, Red Lotus coldly retaliated, and the woman's longsword attacks became increasingly fierce and cunning, even carrying the irritability that martial artists should avoid most.

however……

The heretic deflected his sister's fierce diagonal slash with a single sword stroke, then the blade spun back, slicing through the electromagnetically accelerated projectiles. Finally, he awkwardly dodged Dorothy's burst of fire, and then smiled slightly:

"Your swordsmanship is in disarray, and so is your mind. It seems you really like him."

"?!"

Just as Crimson Lotus was astonished by Rose's overly friendly attitude; Snow White was astonished that Crimson Lotus actually knew how to like men; Dorothy was astonished that so many Nikis liked Phoenix...

A hearty laugh, like the grinding of gears, drifted from afar.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a person with an ape-like physique, whose bright golden eyes, already sparkling, now shone even more brightly.

"Okay, that saves me the trouble of looking for you."

After he finished speaking, the electromagnetic gun's bolt was pulled back, and the sound was as cheerful as a silver bell.

……

……

north,

Phoenix and his group arrived near Tianhuan at top speed without any obstacles.

Everyone, including Rudmila who provided the information, stopped in their tracks the moment they saw the true face of the Celestial Ring.

"My Queen, didn't we agree that the crater's diameter was only eight hundred meters?"

The Mad Hatter gazed at the towering city skyline in the distance and asked, somewhat uncertainly:

"Have we taken the wrong road? This small town looks like it's more than ten kilometers away."

"impossible."

In response to the lieutenant's reasonable question, Rudmila, with a somber expression, shook her head slightly and said:

"The Human Alliance map proves that there shouldn't be any other small or medium-sized building complexes in our location. Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that Lecher will expand the fortress into a city centered on Sky Ring."

Transform a fortress into a city?

"Why did Lecher build cities? Do they like to sleep in houses too?"

Nien, who was standing next to Huaerqiulei, joked half-heartedly. She had always been the team's liveliness buddy, so she subconsciously wanted to liven up the dull and tense atmosphere in the team.

Unfortunately, to Nien's surprise, her commander was the first to disrespect her.

"factory."

Huaerqiulei, who had been gradually cultivating the habit of thinking, seemed to have suddenly had a breakthrough and actually made a reasonable judgment before Phoenix could speak.

"Leitch doesn't need rest, but Leitch needs factories just like humans do."

"good."

Hearing Huaerqiulei's deduction from the side, Rudmila also gave the girl face and took the initiative to support her, saying:

"The attendant's judgment is logically sound. It is very likely that Lecher built a large factory complex using the existing power equipment in Tianhuan."

The two ladies' deductions made a lot of sense, but unfortunately, Phoenix's mind was not on that at all.

Now, he was more concerned about how many Lechers were hiding in the city, and whether any Lechers had already heated up their cannons outside the city, waiting for them to come and die.

“Isabel, fly over and see if Lecher is guarding the front.”

"Yes, Commander."

……

……

Lecher is ultimately different from humans.

Even after hearing the radar alarm, these low-level mechanical spiders wouldn't follow Rose's example and voluntarily leave Sky Ring City to intercept the enemy on the snowfield.

The orders they receive are to move goods, so they will only move goods, and they will move goods without hesitation.

These binary machines will not execute the highest-level command to eliminate the enemy unless they personally scan the area where the commander or Niki is present.

Therefore, the method Phoenix and his group used to infiltrate the city was undeniably audacious.

After learning from Isabel that Sky Ring did not have a Lecher specifically in charge of city defense, the lieutenant led his team into the vast steel jungle at top speed without hesitation, and with Anick's help, successfully found the entrance to the city's underground passage.

His familiarity with the route made one wonder if the lieutenant had secretly defected to Lecher and made Sky Ring City his home.

Chapter 270 Niki Under the Instructor's Command

The city built by Leccher was destined to be unsuitable for human activity.

The staircase structure was completely abandoned, the elevator was replaced by guide rails, and the walls were covered with footholds suitable for Letcher to climb.

There was no verification system to prevent unauthorized intrusion, no explosion-proof gates for isolation and obstruction, and no troublesome monitoring network.

Lecher probably never imagined that there would actually be someone in this world so fearless as to bring Niki into their city...

……

Rumble rumble rumble rumble—

The roar of mechanical structures echoed through the dark, lightless underground world.

At this very moment, Phoenix and his team, who had climbed down from the track shaft, openly clung to the shaft opening, each turning on their tactical flashlights to bring precious light to this massive underground factory.

"Isabel, come down with us."

As the lieutenant issued orders, he glanced at the Lecher components constantly traversing the orbital network, then looked down at the ground more than a hundred meters below him and said:

"The others should be on alert, and if danger is encountered, they should return to the surface directly from the track shaft."

"Yes, Commander."
