However, upon emerging, whether it was the will of the great universe or bad luck, the Rhodes Island group once again ran into Reunion Movement soldiers.
These soldiers were chasing a group of unarmed civilians. The few military police among the civilians could not stop the enemy's assault, but it just so happened that as they passed by, Amiya led her team out of the "Stone Coffin."
Upon discovering unidentified armed personnel suddenly appearing in the district they controlled, these soldiers immediately issued a warning, then brandished their weapons and rushed towards them without hesitation.
Whether to resist these sudden enemies or to save the civilians, the Operators at this moment could not sit idly by. Amiya took the lead, rushing up with her squad, crushing the enemy's first wave of attack, and then retreating towards the road behind.
At this point, discovering that someone could defeat the devils occupying the city, the civilians gathered around, hoping to receive protection from Rhodes Island.
The kind Amiya looked at these scarred civilians and couldn't bear it, so she decided to take them with her to break through the encirclement.
Although this would slow down the team's speed, after discussing it with the Doctor, she still unhesitatingly accepted these people.
At the next intersection, two flashes of lightning, accompanied by Kanna's Lightning Clone, broke through the street. Nearl and Ace brought their team closer and converged with Amiya and the Doctor.
Ace held a map and said, "Kanna just said that there's a large group of people gathering on our first evacuation route and encircling us. It's highly likely to be a Reunion Movement team, so I think we should turn to the second evacuation point."
On the battlefield, the judgment of a veteran like Ace was highly credible. Everyone did not question his judgment but decisively turned around and rushed towards the second evacuation point.
At this time, in Chernobog's inner city, Talulah also received news from this side. Under her orders, Mephisto and Faust led their teams to intercept Rhodes Island's retreat direction, while Crownslayer, who had just recovered from her injuries nearby, also led her team to bite at Rhodes Island's tail.
Crownslayer had just caught up with the Rhodes Island group with her subordinates. Because they were carrying many civilians, the team's movement speed was very slow. Upon seeing someone pursuing them, Ace, who was responsible for covering the rear, immediately threw an Electro Seed at the enemy without a word.
Crownslayer hadn't even had time to speak when she saw a purple light explode above her head, and then a familiar and terrifying figure descended from the sky. The next second, she was kicked into a nearby store. Having been hit hard in the same spot again, she rolled her eyes and directly passed out.
Kanna's clone itself had no intention of letting anyone go. Kanna was constantly replenishing Electro Seeds for all teams at this time and had no time to attend to the situation here. Originally, Crownslayer would have been directly sent off by Kanna's clone, which descended with a Ten Thousand Thunders Heavenly Prison, just like the team members who came with her.
It was just that she was standing right under the clone's feet, and when the falling clone saw a figure in front of it, it instinctively kicked her into a nearby house, which allowed her to escape certain death.
On the other side, the Rhodes Island party ran into Mephisto's "flock."
Mephisto, hiding behind them, showed a strange smile. He had thought that anyone who could enter Chernobog without anyone knowing would have some skill, but he didn't expect them to try to escape with civilians.
It was clear that if it weren't for these civilians, who would only drag them down, he would have no chance of stopping this team. But now that he had stopped them, he didn't mind adding a new batch of subordinates to his flock.
However, he didn't expect their resistance to be much stronger than he had believed.
After discovering the enemy, several "Kanna" grenades were thrown out.
Kanna's clones, possessing powerful combat strength and equally unafraid of death, were the natural bane of Mephisto's flock.
In Mephisto's perception, his flock disappeared in swathes, like crops being harvested in autumn.
His expression couldn't help but turn extremely ugly. He knew that due to Patriot's presence, his flock's growth rate had always been very slow. This current meager force was painstakingly gathered by him, yet a large portion of it was wiped out before it could even be put to use. How could this not enrage him?
"Sasha, what's going on up front? Where's your support?" Mephisto knew Faust was nearby. He had always led his flock in a frontal assault, with Faust providing support from the side. But his flock was almost gone, and he hadn't heard anything from Faust, which made him feel a wave of unease.
"Be careful, a very strong enemy has appeared on the battlefield! She's heading your way. Ino, hide quickly!" Faust's voice carried a hint of panic, especially when he saw that devil-like figure on the battlefield rushing towards Mephisto's direction, making him forget his own concealment.
It turned out that just as Rhodes Island and Mephisto's "flock" engaged in battle, Kanna, with Raidian, successfully rendezvoused with Amiya's group after leaping across several rooftops. Before Kanna could even check if the Doctor was male or female, the battle ahead captured her attention.
Mainly, those "zombie-like" enemies were too eye-catching. Kanna didn't even need to think much to know who the leader behind this enemy force was—Mephisto, the "child" she never intended to forgive from the very beginning.
Although Ino, transforming into a white swan amidst the music of Lullabye, had greatly shocked Kanna, having also experienced the story of the Ursus children, even if her heart felt pity for his life, no one would choose to let him go. The saying, 'Even hateful people have pitiable aspects,' was the best interpretation of his life.
Knowing Mephisto was nearby, Kanna put away her curiosity, preparing to send him to heaven first. She bid farewell to Amiya and then rushed to the front line without hesitation.
If Kanna's clones on the front line facing Mephisto's flock were like farmers cutting grass, then Kanna herself was a fully automatic lawnmower. With lightning surrounding her, she didn't need to linger much. Simply charging from one end of the road to the other, swathes of the "flock" and the Reunion Movement soldiers interspersed among them fell like a wheat field cleared by a fully automatic harvester.
From a tall building nearby, Faust, hidden by Originium Arts, saw the astonishing scene below and, disregarding the risk of exposure, picked up his communicator and loudly warned Mephisto at the end of the road.
