Chapter 490: A Brief Encounter

"What!? SOP2!?"

Pushed aside by SOP2, M4A1 quickly scrambled to her feet upon hearing the loud crash, only to witness SOP2 lying on the ground, half of her body twisted and mangled from the impact!

"Argh! I'll kill you!" With one arm broken and her waist and legs severely deformed, SOP2 struggled to launch an attack towards the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader with her remaining hand.

However, the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader didn't give her the chance, and simply kicked her aside!

Meanwhile, M4A1 raised her gun, unleashing what remained of her armor-piercing rounds at the Sangvis Ferri figure!

"Hah! Those relics from the last century won't have any effect on me!" The Sangvis Ferri Doll sneered, effortlessly dodging most of M4A1's bullets.

Even though a few bullets managed to hit, the Sangvis Ferri unit appeared unscathed...

Armor!? No... is it a Force Shield device!?

M4A1 had encountered Force shields before, but only on a few elite Dolls. This experimental equipment was far from being widely deployed.

Moreover, equipping this kind of technology was illegal for Griffin and Kryuger. After all, the military only provided such equipment to large armored units, and using it on droids would be too costly.

Therefore, only a small fraction of Griffin's Doll units, those with strong adaptability and body strength, carried this equipment. Naturally, M4A1 didn't have it.

As she hailed from 16Lab, Griffin's technicians, aside from debugging and maintenance, didn't have authorization to add other modules to her.

"Seeing your expression now, it really brings me joy. But unfortunately, I don't have time to linger here and fight you." With these words, the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll swiftly charged towards M4A1 at breakneck speed!

"You!?"

Facing the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll charging towards her, M4A1 quickly raised her hand to block the attack from the side. If it weren't for her sturdy frame and not directly confronting the opponent head-on, she would have suffered the same fate as SOP2, crushed to half her body!

"Hah, it's thanks to you. I was planning to capture a few more Griffin Dolls earlier, but I didn't expect you to jump out and use yourself as bait."

"Sangvis Ferri scum! Die!"

Just as the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll finished speaking, SOP2, who had been kicked away earlier, picked up the grenade launcher hanging under her gun and aimed it at the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader!

Boom! Boom!

Caught off guard, the Ringleader was directly hit by the grenade, solidly!

"Cough! Quite spirited, even in that state. But it's just futile struggling."

Emerging from the explosion's smoke and dust, the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader didn't suffer any fatal injuries, but appeared slightly worse for wear.

Seeing this, M4A1 immediately raised her gun, preparing to pursue this opponent...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, just as M4A1 was about to pull the trigger, a series of deafening sounds suddenly rang out from the forest!

A barrage of cannon shells directly assaulted the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader!

Tsk!

Even with a Force shield, facing such large-caliber cannons was still overwhelming, forcing the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll to dodge the onslaught.

M4A1 also rushed towards SOP2's direction, but even so, many shrapnel pierced through M4A1's superficial skin, injuring her frame.

As the cannon fire gradually subsided, both the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader and M4A1 realized the appearance of the deep green armored units emerging from the depths of the forest...

At first glance, they resembled the Sangvis Ferri Nemeum, but their particle weapons had been replaced with two cannons.

Military armored units! Hydra!

In addition to these military Hydras, there were countless footsteps rapidly approaching from the depths of the forest!

A large number of military Dolls! There were at least two hundred or more!

Seeing the Military Dolls rushing over, both M4A1 and the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll were startled. It was completely unexpected these guys would show up here!

This was the southernmost area of the Military's patrol zone!

Normally, there were no living beings nearby. Under normal circumstances, the Military's patrol teams consisted of Cyclops at most.

But today, these guys seemed to be mobilizing en masse! In addition to those dolls units they could observe, there were also many footsteps and... the sound of trees being knocked down!

Something big is coming!

Damn it! They just had to come now! Just when things were getting interesting!

The Sangvis Ferri Ringleader frowned, and looked angrily at the rapidly approaching military dolls.

And M4A1 hoisted SOP2 onto her back. However, just as she was about to make a run for it from this area, a series of heavy vibrations rang out from the direction they had come from!

The Sangvis Ferri Ringleader's armored units were also here! The Manticores! And leading the charge, a group of Aegis!

"M4! Put me down! You need to go!" With her remaining hand, SOP2 patted M4A1's shoulder, urging her on.

"No! I won't let go! M16 hasn't returned, AR15 hasn't returned! How can I leave you in this kind of place!?" M4A1 roared, lifting SOP2 and rushing in the direction away from the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll.

Although it wasn't the direction she initially intended to go, the most important thing now was to escape from the pursuit of these guys! Otherwise, everything else would be meaningless!

But just as M4A1 picked up her pace and took only a few steps forward, the military Dolls that had previously rushed out from the forest, the group of droids codenamed Cyclops, almost without hesitation, raised their guns and launched an attack towards M4A1!

Similarly, the Sangvis Ferri Elite Doll in the other direction also faced the same treatment, with a barrage of bullets directly disabling the Force shield on the Sangvis Ferri Elite Ringleader's body!

Forcing her to dodge and retreat while M4A1 didn't run away, but the current problem...had become more complicated.

What did these military droids mean?

Why were they targeting even Griffin's M4A1? Fortunately, the Sangvis Ferri's armored units on this side also rushed over while she was talking to M4A1.

If it was only this level of military Dolls, the Sangvis Ferri's chances of winning were quite high!

While M4A1 and the Sangvis Ferri Ringleader were being chased relentlessly, the Sangvis Ferri's Manticores also charged forward!

Upon encountering the military droids, they didn't hesitate at all, immediately opening fire on the military's Cyclops!

Boom! Boom! Boom!
