Chapter 1494: Teach: You're Not Going Anywhere, Little Demon!
Outside the east side of the medium star gate camp.
A group of people wearing the same uniforms were sitting around several cement tables, enjoying various drinks and food on the tables.
Not far away was the airport they had just finished building less than two hours ago.
Tomorrow, it would become the air force base of the Star Realm Army's Fourth Army Group.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?"
As the captain of this hundred-man engineering team, Marshall D. Teach swallowed the cherry pie in his mouth upon hearing the alarm sound from afar, gazing towards the direction of Loulan with a face full of doubt.
"Could it be an attack?"
An alchemist skilled in civil engineering speculated while holding a can of cola.
"Possibly. Didn't they say the demons were approaching? Maybe a few stragglers slipped through."
Another ninja skilled in Earth Release casually agreed, his attitude very relaxed, completely lacking any sense of urgency.
Sitting beside the ninja, a mage who was eating bread smiled at Teach.
"Captain, Loulan definitely has guards. We don't need to worry, right?"
But Marshall D. Teach didn't respond, his expression serious as he gazed at Loulan's location.
"Something's wrong!"
"There's no one inside Loulan City who could be called an expert!"
"And the people in the command center are all panicked, including that vice admiral from the Star Realm Army. Something must have happened!"
The technicians around the cement tables, each possessing a supernatural ability, looked at each other.
"Captain, how do you know the command center is panicked?"
The ninja who spoke earlier asked hesitantly:
"And the Sixth Army Group's command center, I remember it's four kilometers to the north, right?"
"Zehahahaha!"
Teach threw his head back and laughed heartily, simultaneously standing up from his chair: "Didn't I tell you guys?"
"Old man's Observation Haki has a range of ten kilometers!"
"Alright, guys, you wait here. I'll go take a look!"
But his words caused dissatisfaction among everyone present.
"How can this be?!"
"Captain, if you're going to fight, of course we have to follow!"
"That's right, if they're really demons, we can finally see what they look like!"
But Teach waved his hand to stop them from speaking further.
"All of you, shut up!"
"Don't forget we still have the mission of building an airport on our hands. If we all leave, how will we explain to the higher-ups?"
"Stay here obediently and wait for me. If I'm late, continue construction according to the original plan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Teach said no more.
He transformed into a mass of powdered cement, soaring into the clouds like a grey-white whirlwind, flying rapidly towards Loulan's location at high speed.
He left behind a group of people watching him leave alone, feeling helpless.
"Speaking of which... although the captain is quite strong compared to us, if the opponent is a demon, then..."
"Don't worry. After all, he's a man who possesses three Devil Fruit Abilities!"
At the same time.
On the shore of the bay, approximately ten kilometers west of Loulan City.
One to the north, one to the south, two humanoid demons separated by several hundred meters.
They were wantonly slaughtering the Star Realm Soldiers, ninjas, and Loulan Puppets flying in the air who were desperately trying to stop them.
Along the way, tattered corpses lay in pools of blood, and puppet fragments were torn apart and scattered everywhere.
Dense gunshots, roaring explosions, and desperate screams echoed through every corner here, incessantly.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A Chunin belonging to the Sea Ninja Village, taking advantage of the demon in front hacking and slashing at the Star Realm Soldiers, quickly formed Hand Seals and spewed out a blazing flame fireball.
But the opponent merely glanced at it coldly, swinging the ferocious pitch-black demonic blade in his hand.
In an instant.
A streak of black light flashed through the void, cutting apart the fireball, the ground, and the ninja all at once!
With another slash, he swept horizontally through the air with an arc-shaped slash, sweeping away the incoming streaks of purple light bullets.
At the same time, he pulverized the five Loulan Puppets flying above.
On the other side.
A demon riding a black iron demonic horse, with long, pointed double horns on its head and holding a slender demonic sword.
It turned into a black shadow, rampaging through the crowd at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch. Wherever it went, humans and puppets alike were torn apart, and blood mist exploded!
They couldn't be stopped. The guard force on site simply couldn't stop these two upper demons!
But still more Star Realm Soldiers arrived on site, opening fire fiercely at them.
At the same time, they threw crystal clear blue glass spheres towards the front.
When the glass spheres shattered on the ground, blue liquid splashed out from inside.
Looking closely, there seemed to be strange white particles as well.
When it was exposed to the air, it began to rapidly absorb the blue liquid soaking the land and grew and expanded at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, over thirty humanoid warriors with burly physiques, reaching a height of 1.8 meters, but with obvious cockroach features, appeared in the line of sight of the Star Realm Soldiers and the two upper demons.
This was Doctor Stylish's latest research result.
He utilized various biochemical technologies from the Academy of Science to optimize the Cockroach Man Unit, which originally required modifying the human body.
It was optimized into a portable insect egg nutrient solution device that could manufacture Cockroach Man anytime, anywhere.
These Cockroach Man had no feelings, weren't afraid of pain or death, could distinguish friend from foe, and understand simple orders.
Crucially, their strength, speed, and reaction all far surpassed ordinary people, enough to rival a private first class from the Army Headquarters.
The only drawback was that they couldn't carry weapons with them.
So unless they could pick up weapons on the battlefield, they could only engage in combat bare-handed.
Note, the weapons they use currently can only be cold weapons.
Fortunately, besides firearms, Star Realm Soldiers also equip long sabers.
So as soon as these Cockroach Man appeared, they immediately picked up the long sabers from the backs of the corpses beneath them.
Then they launched a charge towards the two demons.
Their speed was very fast, because this was the Cockroach Man's specialty.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they had already approached the demons.
But before the blade was swung, several streaks of black light sliced through the air.
The front row of Cockroach Man were torn to pieces in an instant, and yellow blood splattered everywhere.
Next, the two upper demons easily dismembered the Cockroach Man one by one, enduring the dense bullet rain.
The Cockroach Man, who seemingly had good strength and swift speed, were still no match for them.
This made the Star Realm Soldiers, who were maintaining shooting, gradually show despair on their faces.
How could they fight?
[Splatter!]
The last Cockroach Man was cut in half by the upper demon riding the demonic warhorse with a sword.
"Somewhat interesting, but at best it's just toy level..."
He was seen uttering his first words since arriving.
"Arias, stop playing. Your speed is fast, rush inside the city first and kill everyone inside. This is Lord Baal's order!"
The upper demon holding the wide-bladed black blade not far away reminded in a deep voice.
"Got it, just don't be too slow. I won't leave any for you, Thorsten..."
Arias on the back of the warhorse let out a light laugh, completely unconcerned about the bullets hitting his body.
Then he turned the horse's head and galloped at full speed towards Loulan City, ignoring the dozens of Star Realm Soldiers blocking the path ahead.
After all, if they didn't get out of the way, their fate would only be to be turned into blood mist.
Who would care about the bugs crushed when walking past?
Dirty?
Demons don't care about that.
But just as the Star Realm Soldiers directly facing Arias turned pale, some even having already closed their eyes, preparing to welcome death at this critical moment.
Grey-white high walls suddenly rose up in front of them, one after another.
Arias, galloping on the horse, had no time to dodge and crashed frontally through the layers of walls. The crashing sounds were deafening.
The moment he crashed through the last wall, a colossus suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next moment.
A wide and massive black palm, the back of which was covered in thick hair, instantly grabbed Arias by the neck, directly pushed him off the demonic warhorse, and heavily smashed him onto the ground covered in cement fragments.
[Bang!!!]
"Zehahahaha, you're not going anywhere, little demon!"
Teach firmly held down Arias with brute strength, grinning widely and leaning towards the latter's faceplate, laughing wildly non-stop with a face full of mockery.
"Old man can finally have a good fight, Zehahahaha!"
Then he raised his head, looking towards Thorsten not far away, his eyes flashing with fierce light and killing intent.
"And you too..."
At this moment.
Marshall D. Teach's entire body emitted grey-white cement dust.
It shot straight into the clouds, his imposing aura intimidating the entire scene!
