Chapter 939: Chapter 927 When did this land become yours? Chapter 939: Chapter 927 When did this land become yours? “Your Excellency, please wait a moment!”

Seeing Muria’s stance, which seemed to suggest he was preparing to treat the base as a shopping mall, Alvin hurried forward, trying to make him stop, but just as he took a step, he found himself seemingly bound by something.

When he turned his head following this pulling force, he saw the Lord Beast Muria had brought with him curiously sizing him up with a pair of eyes even larger than any human’s.

“That… Your Excellency, could you… could you please control your companion!” Alvin, his body lifted up by the invisible force of the Mesha, stammered a plea to Muria, “Let him put me down.”

At this distance, Alvin believed that the only one who could possibly stop the Lord-level Giant Beast was this indigenous leader of unknown origin, strength, and attitude.

“Dirty Meow King, it’s okay to play, but do not harm his life!” Muria turned his head and ordered the Dirty Meow King, who was curiously surveying everything around him.

For the Dirty Meow King, whose range was limited to the vast Ayalei Forest, everything here was novel. This Forward Base, built by a star civilization, made every object a tempting curiosity to fiddle with.

The Mesha certainly meant no harm, but at its level of existence, whether it meant harm or not, its every move posed a great threat to lower life forms.

It was like humans walking on a road, inadvertently crushing a mound of ants with their steps—did humans have any malice towards the ants? Of course not.

“Your Excellency, please stop. The area ahead is a military stronghold of our side. The Yi Kong People are not allowed to enter without approval,” said the soldiers, clad in exoskeleton armor, as they blocked Muria’s path when he continued forward.

These soldiers, who looked heavily armed in their exoskeleton suits, now stood a head taller than the average Yi Kong person, almost as tall as Muria himself.

“Yours? A military stronghold?” Muria enunciated each word, chewing over the statements of the soldier before him, then he started to laugh, “Since when did this land become yours?”

“Who agreed to it? Or rather, who permitted it?” Muria’s eyes lit up, and his body, initially only a head taller than an ordinary Yi Kong person, now shone with radiant light. The pure white God’s Patterns on his exposed skin also began to flash brightly, one after another.

“This land belongs to the Yi Kong People. Only other Yi Kong People have the right to refuse my entry, and you outsiders have no right to stop me from entering any area!”

Hearing Muria’s words, the eight iron-clad soldiers looked at each other. They weren’t shocked by Muria’s words or touched by them; they were simply overwhelmed by the stance he now displayed.

“Get out of my way!” Muria extended his hand and pushed forward, releasing a white shockwave from his palm that instantly sent the eight iron-clad soldiers, who seemed exceptionally cumbersome, flying. They crashed nearly a hundred meters away, sparking striking bolts of electricity as they hit the ground, followed by wisps of blue smoke rising from their bodies.

His action seemed to have triggered some setting on the base; in an instant, with the sound of mechanical rising and recombining, a number of large laser guns and pulse guns emerged from the corners of the base and turned their barrels towards Muria.

Warning: Please cease your attack on our soldiers, or you will face retaliation with our military force!

Warning: Please cease your attack on our soldiers… A mechanical female voice echoed around the base, clearly directed at Muria.

“Number Zero, I order you to stop the attack and shut down all weapon systems!” At this moment, Alvin, the highest commander of the base, who was being toyed with by the Mesha, turned pale.

All attempts at attacking outside the base had been fruitless against this overpoweringly powerful group of Yi Kong soldiers, and now that they had been allowed inside, initiating attack was like madness!

Which incompetent creator designed this foolish intelligence brain that could neither see the situation clearly nor make accurate judgments? If he could, he would definitely kill that guy when he got back.

“Based on your current status, it is possible that you have been coerced by the enemy to issue this order. Therefore, in accordance with wartime management regulations, I refuse to comply with your order!”

Hearing the base’s intelligence brain reject his command and the reason why, Alvin felt so angry he almost vomited blood. He then restrained his impulse to curse out loud, looking at the Mesha playing him like a toy.

And now it wasn’t even up to him anymore, because as the base’s weapons emerged and targeted Muria, the Phantom Knights who had entered the base with him drew their Long Spears.

As these energy weapons started charging up, the Phantom Knights didn’t even need Muria’s order. Each targeting a gun emplacement, they hurled their Long Spears.

Boom! Boom!

Nobody could prevent this second conflict from occurring; one gun position after another was reduced to rubble under the assault of the Phantom Knights, thoroughly destroyed.

“Nuclear inspection confirms the destruction of the base’s weapon systems! According to wartime management regulations, Article 172, activate the Killing Robots to eliminate all non-human life forms within the foundation!”

The shrill sound of alarms echoed through the base until the steel doors in the underground warehouse opened one after another, and a series of crimson glares and pale blue energies lit up in the darkness.

“Your Excellency, if you don’t want your people to be harmed, please let your companions put me down!” Alvin’s face changed dramatically as he heard the intelligence brain’s announcement throughout the base.

If the Yikong people in the base were slaughtered to the last, no, there was no need for complete extermination, just if more than half were killed, then the three years of effort invested in this base would be in vain. No Yikong person would trust them again. Instead, they would completely break off their relationship and become hostile.

Luckily, this time, Alvin’s shout had an effect. Muria seemed to understand the message the intelligence brain broadcasted and let Mesha put down the new toy it had gotten.

“Number Zero, I command you to cease all attacks!” Alvin, whose feet had just touched the ground again, hastily issued the order.

“Nuclear inspection confirmed the commander is out of life-threatening danger, command executed!” After Alvin’s orders were given, the intelligence brain shut down all automatic combat robots.

“Very interesting!” Muria, who had witnessed everything from the beginning, smiled. Although he didn’t understand what the broadcast was saying, he could guess the general meaning. It was likely that the base’s artificial intelligence had temporarily lost control.

“Your Excellency, I’m truly very sorry; some accidents occurred, and we didn’t mean to attack you!”

“Don’t apologize too much; instead, come up with something practical!” Muria shook his head, a man of action who disliked empty words.

Having said that, Muria led his knights toward the closest building, and when faced with a metal door that displayed an ‘access denied’ sign, he cleanly kicked it down.

“If you encounter a door like this in the future, one that you want to enter but it won’t let you, just do as I did!” Muria said to his Phantom knights after kicking down the door with a thunderous crash, setting an example.

“Come on, let’s go in and see what’s inside!” Muria called out then led the way into the building, his demeanor reminiscent of an extremely ancient profession.

“Whatever catches your eye, let me have a look before you take it; I’ll help you evaluate it.”

Before entering, Muria’s voice advising his knights reached the outside, leaving Alpha and his subordinates exchanging glances, uncertain of what to say. Here was a tribal chief, a born and bred primitive, showing such a worldly demeanor.

…

“Commander Alvin, it’s terrible, that native chief dismantled our intelligence brain!” Before long, a soldier came running out in a panic to report to Alvin.

“Did he smash the manifestation screen of the intelligence brain? No problem, that’s a minor loss!” Alvin waved it off unconcerned, the intelligence brain’s manifestation screen wasn’t worth much.

“No, sir, that’s not it. The tribal chief… he dug out the actual body of the intelligence brain!”

“Huh!” Alvin’s expression turned blank. How could a mere tribal chief find the highly secretive location of the intelligence brain? Logically, it didn’t make sense!

“Sir, should we stop him?” the reporting soldier asked.

“What do you think?” Alvin glanced back at the purple-black giant beast that was dismantling a transport vehicle and then at the soldier in front of him.

“I will follow your orders!”

“Old sly fox,” Alvin cursed upon hearing the soldier’s response, “Since the intelligence brain has already been dismantled, let him take it. We can’t stop him now, anyway!”

“Commander Alvin, it’s bad, the chief dismantled our war chariot hangar, he’s trying to drive our tanks away!”

“Not good, our hangar has been taken apart…”

“…The energy room has been dismantled…”

Listening to the continuous stream of soldiers running to report to him, Alvin’s cheeks involuntarily twitched, and then his face showed a look of defeat:
“Let the chief dismantle whatever he wants, just watch! Anyway, the losses from this operation will be compensated by the higher-ups.”
