Chapter 33: Puppeteer vs. Puppeteer
"Come quickly, come with me."
"Where are you going?"
Without responding to her, Ryuuji used the puppet line to manipulate the girl to jump onto the trap bird, and then swooped up and flew up.
"Ahhh!!h
The girl lay on her stomach on the trap bird, holding Ryuuji's thighs with both hands, and screamed in horror from her mouth.
Ryuuji glanced back at her, his brow furrowed slightly.
Just as he was about to say something, the whistling sound above was more clearly audible.
Look up.
In the dim light of the torches, three black dots appeared.
As each other accelerated towards each other, the black dots continued to enlarge, and finally they could see the appearance clearly.
It is more than two meters tall and resembles a puppet in the shape of a medieval knight.
They held murderous weapons such as knights' spears, knives, fans, and electric drills, and raised their free left hands when they were more than ten meters away.
"Don't attack, I'm here!"
Sara shouted.
But the puppets didn't hesitate in the slightest, and from their left hand ejected the kunai that connected the purple chakra threads.
"How so!?"
Sasha's eyes widened in disbelief what he was seeing.
Ryuuji ignored her, concentrating on piloting the trap bird, spinning the fuselage as Kunai shot in, passing through the gaps in the many attacks.
The speed was so extreme that the golems didn't even have time to react before they passed them.
"Whirring ......"
The wind howled so hard that people could not open their eyes.
Sasha lowered his head and hid behind Ryuuji's thigh, but Ryuuji was unaffected.
His eyes are equipped with tactical contact lenses for exoskeleton armored operations, which can not only shield the wind and sand, but also have infrared visits, data analysis and other functions.
"Whew!"
The trap bird flew to the ground level in an instant, and Ryuuji attacked without hesitation, piercing through the walls of the tower and flying out of the hole.
The knight puppet followed closely behind, constantly projecting kunai from behind.
Their kunai is linked to the chakra thread, which can be ejected and immediately retracted.
Theoretically, it is possible to launch indefinitely.
The dense kunai continued to fly, hitting the nearby buildings, causing bursts of explosions.
Ryuuji drove the trap bird through the towers, dodging the endless attacks from behind and the knight puppets who joined in halfway to chase and intercept them.
There was a lively fight above, but the lights were still bright below, and the people were singing and dancing, deaf to such a huge movement.
Sasha cried out to his people for refuge.
But I don't know if the voice was drowned out by the wind, no one heard, or no one wanted to pay attention to her at all.
In short, what should be done.
Ryuuji couldn't look at it anymore, and snorted coldly: "No matter how idiotic you are, you won't be able to see the problem at all until now." ”
"What did you say?"
"Those people of yours are all marionettes, not people at all."
"What!?"
Sasha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Ryuuji didn't say much, and rode the trap bird over the queen's people, severing the puppet silk threads hanging from the tower.
Suddenly, the people who had just been singing and dancing fell as if they had lost their souls.
"This, how can this be!?"
"Why are my people all puppets?"
"And where did the real ones go?"
Sasha looked dazed.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Ryuuji said as he looked around and muttered to himself, "It's some distance from the dragon vein here, so you can do it with confidence." ”
With that, the bird made a 180-degree turn in the air, its mouth wide open, and it stretched out the six-barreled Gatling.
"Sudden !!"
The barrel of the gun sprayed tongues of fire, and countless fire bullets sprayed, instantly detonating several knight puppets.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
The pursuing puppet in the back opens its mouth to fire a chakra cannon.
Ryuuji swayed from side to side in the trap bird, dodging the shelling while turning into the front corner.
Block your view with buildings and go around behind enemies from the other side to attack.
"Sudden !!"
Tongues of fire erupted, fireballs flew, and knight puppets crashed from a great height.
However, instead of decreasing, the number of puppets hunted down has increased.
"It's useless, for the past few decades, An Lushan has been creating a puppet army, and I don't even know how many there are." Sasha said suddenly.
As the saying goes, when there is no one to rely on, people are self-reliant.
In the original book, the silly Bai Tian, who only knew that Queen Loulan relied on Naruto, also thought calmly for a while when no one relied on her.
She knew that only An Lushan, a puppeteer, could do the operation of replacing all the people with puppets.
I don't know why he did it, and I can't believe it.
But the facts are in front of her, and she can only think about it like this.
An Lushan has another plan.
Even, his mother's death may be related to him.
"I didn't want to kill all the puppet troops by myself!" Ryuuji manipulated the Trap Bird to kill several knight puppets again, and immediately rushed towards a tall tower.
On the balcony of that tower, stood a middle-aged man dressed in a fine costume, with a beard and a fat body.
As the bird flew towards him, their eyes met in the air.
"Found you."
Ryuji grinned, and the bird spewed out fist-sized orange fireballs.
The middle-aged man rolled over and jumped down.
Ignoring the explosion behind him, he raised his hands, and immediately a puppet flew to catch him and flew towards the ground.
"You can't run away."
With a faint smile on his face, Ryuuji turned around and chased after the trap bird, and the six-tube Gatling continued to spray, firing chakra of various attributes.
An Lushan fled while controlling the puppet to fight back.
But how can a trap bird specially designed for flight and air combat be compared to this kind of humanoid weapon?
Whether it's flight speed or agility, the trap bird completely blows up the opponent.
With such an advantage, Ryuuji naturally would not fight hard with him, and set up a trap bird to use the terrain of Loulan Towers to fight guerrilla.
No matter how many puppets there are, they can only be destroyed and killed.
But......
"There aren't many chakras left."
If it is a simple flight, the trap bird does not need to consume chakra.
However, once you enter the air combat mode, whether it affects the acceleration of the air flow or continuously fires chakra shells, it will produce consumption.
The opponent's puppets seem to be endless, and they are familiar with the terrain.
If you want to rely on guerrilla warfare to defeat the other side, it will not be possible in a short time.
"Then let's fight head-on as you wish!"
Ryuuji had a confident smile on his face, and the trap bird also understood the mood of his master, and turned around and swooped down on the enemy from the front.
"You're finally willing to fight me head-on!"
An Lushan let out a roar of anger, and several knight puppets met him head-on, and countless chakra cannons opened their mouths and spewed out.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
The trap bird didn't dodge, and several chakra cannons hit with unmistakable accuracy, bursting with explosive sparks in the air.
Just as An Lushan was about to celebrate, a slender figure rushed out of the smoke and dust.
In the moonlight, the silver hair shone with a faint sheen.
"Drink!"
