Chapter 456: Chapter 132: The Second Battle Begins.

At the entrance of Carmen Heavy Industries, people occasionally escaped. A few fire trucks were parked outside, along with some employees of Carmen Heavy Industries.

They looked around cautiously, receiving and checking the people who came out, but they didn’t seem to care much about the fire in their building.

It seemed that they also knew that the real danger was not a fire.

In a corner, three members gathered together for a discussion.

"How many people are still alive?" a middle-aged man who looked like a manager asked in a low voice.

"Impossible to estimate."

"Has the Contractor not come out yet?" someone asked.

"Not sure, but he should have recalled the Cavalry Heroic Spirit by now. The safety should be guaranteed, but we haven’t been able to contact him yet." An employee felt the voice was somewhat unfamiliar but replied anyway.

"Our attention was all focused on the World Trade Center, so we were caught off guard. But as long as we settle down, no one can match our strength." A man in a black suit said: "More than twenty magicians and over fifty armed security personnel. Enough to suppress any enemy."

"We cannot be careless. Since the enemy dares to come, they must have corresponding measures." The manager who spoke first said: "It started with security personnel causing chaos. I saw it in the surveillance footage. One of the guards suddenly shot his teammate and even set the armory on fire."

"Couldn’t the other teams stop them?"

"The nearest security squad quickly attacked him, trying to capture him." The manager’s face turned pale as if recalling a terrible scene: "But even with a broken arm and leg, he pulled out a grenade without changing his expression."

"Psychic interference? That shouldn’t be. We’ve already taken precautions against that." The magician shook his head.

This protective awareness was a required course for magicians. They didn’t want their colleagues or friends to suddenly attack them.

"Then it must be the doing of another heroic spirit. The Caster Rank Heroic Spirit had previously demonstrated the ability to control corpses." A hoarse voice spoke: "A corpse must have infiltrated. That guy from the Caster Rank has always been good at messing with people’s minds. His ability is also very special, it’s normal for us not to detect it."

"Who has such an annoying voice?" The manager wondered, then looked at the employees who had been rescued: "You’re right. So, we still cannot let our guard down. Everyone who was saved must be examined mentally and physically."

"Can you contact other magicians?" The hoarse voice rang out again, asking the magician: "What’s the situation inside?"

"I can’t do it now. The last message I received was to tell the magicians outside not to approach their area and leave immediately with the Contractor. The enemy might have some tricks targeting magicians, but with the chaos everywhere and everyone fighting, I had no choice but to escape... who are you exactly?" The magician suddenly noticed something was off and felt there was an extra person nearby. He turned his head and saw a figure wearing a bird beak mask and black armor standing beside him.

"Damn, did you just notice me now?" Li Changhe was astounded. He had been speaking for a while already. Were these people’s reflexes really that slow? He had thought the other party was unbreakable and easily accepted his arrival.

So, was the psychic interference ability of the Insect God Vest that powerful?

"It’s the Archer!" The magician’s face changed when he saw the mechanical bow in Li Changhe’s hand. The other two people also shuddered and wanted to retreat.

After all, in their eyes, the Archer Heroic Spirit was one of their enemies.

But Li Changhe was one step ahead and patted the magician’s shoulder: "Calm down, I’ve reached an agreement with your Cavalry. We’re now allies."

The three of them tensed up at the same time, feeling their bodies becoming extremely heavy. Even their blood seemed to sink, making their vision go somewhat dark.

The magician tried to move, but found that his shoulder seemed to be locked by a steel bar. He said solemnly: "Cavalry did mention it... but I can’t trust you. There are countless cases in the Seven Kings War where alliances were torn apart and allies attacked. Who knows if you are here to kick us when we’re down?"

"Since the start of the sixth Seven Kings War, the strength of you heroic spirits has significantly declined. As an Archer, you dare to come so close to me..." This magician was apparently very tough, even provoking the Archer. Was he provoking that the Archer won’t get into close combat?

As soon as his words fell, a girl with a huge and bizarre sword case on her back emerged from the shadows nearby.

"Sword Rank Heroic Spirit!" The magician’s face changed.

"That’s right, we have two heroic spirits here. There’s no need for your information to deal with Cavalry. We can just go in directly. You should also know the previous feats of the Sword Rank Heroic Spirit, right? Moreover, with your current situation, you can’t mobilize the strength to fight against us." The bird beak mask shook slightly: "I know what you’re worried about. But you have no choice but to pray that we still honor the alliance. Now... tell me what’s going on inside."

The magician’s eyes flickered. Even in the eyes of some veteran magicians, Heroic Spirits were not invincible.

Powerful magicians in the history of the Seven Kings War had also cornered Heroic Spirits.

But he wasn’t one of them. He just wanted to show some toughness and attract the attention of his companions nearby.

But now that two Heroic Spirits had appeared, these people who were not even magicians couldn’t do anything to them.

And the Archer was right, if they were hostile, they could attack these people directly and cause heavy losses to Carmen Heavy Industries.

"Then I hope you can honor the alliance." The magician sighed softly: "I never thought there would be such a day for Carmen Heavy Industries."

No matter who wins in the end, the losses Carmen Heavy Industries suffered today could not be recovered.

...

The first piece of information they got was that the Caster Rank Heroic Spirit might have intervened in this operation.

After all, he had known about Li Changhe’s contact with the man whose knee was shot by an arrow beforehand. Perhaps he had discovered it through the use of Corpse Puppets as spies, or perhaps he had planted Corpse Puppets or maybe information in Carmen Heavy Industries.

In the gap when the Cavalry went to rescue the Sword Rank, chaos erupted in Carmen Heavy Industries. It was probably meant to interfere with the Cavalry’s rescue mission.

As for Qiu Wentian and his own conversation, the Berserker had said that the old man had done something unnecessary. It was probably a coincidence that the Berserker’s Contractor had also been involved in this matter.

The chaos caused by both combined, eventually shattered Carmen Heavy Industries’ defense system.

It could be said that Carmen Heavy Industries was at its weakest point right now. The proud resources and strength were of no use at this moment.

So, the other Heroic Spirits wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to eliminate the Cavalry. Like crows discovering rotten meat, they would gather.

"Then, the second battle begins tonight."
