Chapter 54 Conflict
"Did the negotiations fail?"
Seeing this, Dan Heng immediately took out the Strike Cloud and reacted quickly, assuming a fighting stance.
"Sigh, in the end, we still have to fight."
Hoshino gripped the bat tightly in his hand and sighed helplessly.
She had realized that no matter how smoothly things progressed, in the end, she would inevitably have to resort to violence.
"What?! Dunn, wait a minute!"
Hiluva suddenly shouted, her face filled with shock and confusion. She couldn't understand why Dunn would suddenly do such a thing.
"Don't you think Cocolia has been acting a bit strange lately? She might be bewitched by something called 'Star Core'."
Hilova also wanted to try to persuade Dunn, as she did not want any unnecessary conflict at this critical juncture.
If a fight breaks out, it will likely attract the attention of the Silvermane Iron Guards patrolling the restricted area.
It might even attract her brother, Jepard, which would be a huge problem.
"So, this concerns Belloberg—no, it could even concern the fate of the entire world!"
"Dunne, don't stop us..."
As she spoke, purple lightning crackled at Silva's fingertips, and in a flash, a jet-black electric guitar with a metallic sheen appeared in her hand.
As the electric guitar appeared, Shiluwa lightly placed her fingers on its strings, and the guitar instantly seemed to come alive, bursting forth with a dazzling purple light.
Then, Shiluwa quickly strummed the electric guitar strings, and a burst of exciting and surging music, like the roar of thunder, rolled in, as if to tear apart the surrounding space.
Seeing this scene, a look of nostalgia flashed in Dunn's eyes. He remembered the days when the four members of the "Mechanical Frenzy" band rehearsed together every day.
But after only a moment, he shook his head violently, as if trying to shake off those past fragments, forcing himself to bring his attention back to reality.
"Hiluva! We used to rehearse together every day, you should know, right?"
As he spoke, Dunn lowered his body slightly and raised the large shield in his left hand in front of him. The shield was like an insurmountable barrier, completely blocking him out.
"My rock and roll soul—"
"—It's about upholding the dignity of being a soldier!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dunn's tall body suddenly burst out with astonishing speed, like a rugby player, and quickly crashed into Lin Qiong.
"Whoosh—"
Hiluva's fingers plucked the electric guitar strings rapidly, and as the music began, several purple arcs of electricity shot out from the guitar, flying straight toward Dunn who was charging towards her.
Seeing the arc of electricity shot out by Hilva heading towards him, Dunn did not slow down his thrusts. He continued to charge towards Lin Qiong and the others with his large shield raised.
Then, the arc of electricity flying towards Dunn collided with the shield in his hand. The purple arc of electricity exploded the moment it touched the shield, turning into streaks of lightning that kept jumping on the shield.
Dunn felt a powerful electric current instantly travel along the shield, and a tingling sensation accompanied by a dull pain quickly spread throughout his body.
If it's only this bad—it'll work!
Dunn gritted his teeth and endured the dizziness caused by the high voltage with amazing perseverance and willpower.
Immediately afterward, Dunn, who was about to approach Lin Qiong and the others, used his body to brace against the large shield, trying to use the inertia generated by his rapid running to amplify the impact. He aimed at Xing in the crowd and rammed into him hard.
Seeing that Dunn was coming for him, Xing quickly exerted force, and a dazzling blue light burst from the baseball bat. It seemed that he was using his ultimate move - "Stardust Ace".
Then, Xing swung his baseball bat and slammed it hard at the shield that was coming towards him.
Then there was a loud "bang."
Dunn felt a powerful impact suddenly come from the shield in his left hand, as if he had been hit by Belloberg's high-speed train.
He slid backward involuntarily, his silver-maned iron guards' iron boots sparking brightly on the ground, his legs carving deep grooves into the snow-covered ground.
Upon seeing this, the six Silvermane Iron Guards behind him rushed forward and braced Dunn's body with their hands, trying to slow him down and bring him to a stop.
Even so, the powerful impact still carried Dunn and the six well-trained Silvermane Iron Guards backward for a distance before they came to a slow stop.
At this moment, one of the Silvermane Iron Guards asked Dunn with a worried expression, "Captain... Captain, are you alright?"
"Phew... I'm fine, don't worry."
Dunn gently lifted his left hand, which had been almost numb from the powerful impact.
He first looked at Xing, who was holding a baseball bat not far away, and then his gaze fell on the deep dent in the shield. He breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a little shaken.
I never imagined that this shield, which had shielded me from countless attacks by creatures from the Rift Realm, would have a hole smashed through it with a single blow. What incredible power!
Dunn's expression beneath his helmet gradually grew serious. The attack he had just received made it clear to him that neither he nor the Silvermane Iron Guards present were a match for those "outsiders."
Therefore, we must seek help from Garrison Commander Jepard!
With this in mind, Dunn immediately ordered the Silvermane Iron Guards behind him, "Send one of you to request reinforcements from Garrison Commander Jepard as quickly as possible."
"The rest of you, listen to my command, stay here and help me hold off these 'outsiders'."
Dunn's words were powerful and resolute, each word conveying a resolute determination to face death.
He knew perfectly well that if those "outsiders" attacked together, they certainly wouldn't be able to hold out until Jepard arrived.
Even so, as the captain of the Silvermane Iron Guard, he must fulfill his duty to the very end, even if it means sacrificing his life!
"Yes, sir! Team... Uh ah!"
Just then, screams came from behind, accompanied by the sound of weapons falling to the ground.
Upon hearing the sound, Dunn's heart tightened, and he quickly turned around to look behind him.
However, the scene that greeted him when he turned around made his eyes widen involuntarily.
The six Silver Mane Iron Guards who were originally behind him were now lying unconscious on the ground, their fates unknown.
"what happened?"
Dunn frowned and muttered to himself, "These Silvermane Iron Guards were fine just now, how come they all suddenly collapsed to the ground?"
Confused, he quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find the culprit behind all this.
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from the air.
"Hmph, when you can't win, you want to call for reinforcements. That's just like the style of you upper-class districts."
