Yes, Madam Prime Minister

Page 512

The two guards nodded. "Don't worry, the emergency response team will be here soon."

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than a person shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared, emanating an aura far stronger than theirs.

Freshta immediately called out to the three people behind her, Ravana, "You three take them to the room we passed by earlier, the one I specifically told you to keep an eye on for refuge."

Lavana and the other two obeyed the order and ran away with the three of them.

A few minutes later, Lavana and the other two returned.

At this moment, the two guards at the gate were lying in pools of blood, their limbs incomplete.

Lavana, Liz, and Louise didn't even go into that room.

Freyshta looked at the three of them. "If you didn't go in, why did you come back?"

“If we don’t come back, how are we supposed to get out?” Louise retorted. “If we’re not of any particular use to you, why are you putting on this show?”

Freyshta laughed, completely unfazed. "Then, shouldn't you show me where your confidence comes from?"

Lavana glanced at the man in black robes. "This guy is very strong."

"Then let's unleash our strongest power and finish this in one go," Louise said confidently.

Liz nodded in agreement.

Chapter 1189 Three-in-One, You're Finished, Mysterious Man Appears

Lavana, Louise, and Liz were no longer inexperienced rookies. They understood perfectly well that the man in black was a powerful figure. Their current restraint, their apparent spectator status, stemmed from the fact that each of them individually was weaker than either of the two guards he had effortlessly dispatched. The three of them combined were utterly incapable of causing any trouble.

However, once they are about to combine, even if the other party does not know that they are about to combine, they will not hesitate to interrupt them, unlike when Lu Jianling and the others allowed the three of them to combine as they did during previous training.

Therefore, Ravana and Liz immediately unleashed their maximum range of indiscriminate attacks, not hoping to harm the black-robed man, but to force him to protect Freishta.

Freshta, being only a Tier 2, was no match for Ravana and Liz, who were already Tier 4.

In an instant, the man in black robes waved his hand, and his robes billowed out, blocking the barrage of cannon fire and the rain of arrows.

"Is that all?" Freshta remained dismissive.

These two did indeed display strength beyond what their auras suggested. It was obvious that they were hiding their strength through some means, but they were still far inferior to two genuine fourth-tier cultivators. If this was their confidence, then they were rather arrogant.

The man in black robes waved his hand again, and the intense wind pressure dispersed the sand and gravel stirred up by the previous bursts of energy.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the union, with the stitcher Liz as its link, was complete.

Ravana is no longer a centaur, but simply a black pegasus. Liz, with her scabbard and sword, is now her upper body, while Louise has become the bio-armor covering the entire winged centaur.

Lavana provides the flight mobility and allows her to unleash a barrage of feathers that combine offense and defense. Liz is the mastermind, handling both melee and ranged damage. Louise constructs the entire defense and assists with calculations. Of course, the true strength of the combined entity lies in the fact that they have achieved power surpassing that of the sixth tier and approaching the seventh tier.

The battle resumed, and the combined black-gold armored winged centaur female warrior quickly overwhelmed the black-robed man.

The three combined possess physical attributes above those of a typical sixth-tier character, as well as greater magical power and computational abilities. They are highly mobile, capable of strong melee and ranged attacks, have extremely high physical and magical resistance, and are immune to control effects from rule-based magic.

If we had to point out a weakness, it would be that the three of them, who would not normally have any mental instability issues, might experience such problems after uniting. Simply put, they are not yet able to maintain this state for long.

But is it necessary?

It's enough for them to suppress the man in black robes for now; they don't need to defeat him. Dealing with Freishta is enough.

"Those who lack ability should stay safely behind the scenes," Liz mocked.

The man in black robes blocked the attack aimed at Freyshta.

Freshta, who was nearly hit, was shocked, but then overjoyed.

She was shocked because she hadn't expected the three of them to combine like that; it involved extraordinary technology.

She really didn't know who else besides the mysterious person, her mother, and her aunt could possess such technology.

However, this doesn't seem to matter, at least not now.

Because she's so excited right now.

Because fusion was exactly what she was going to do. Liz and Louise were bargaining chips sent by others. She wanted to turn the two of them into parts, and then use the sealed mechs in the treasure vault as a medium to complete a permanent fusion, break through her own shackles, and become a high-level superhuman in one fell swoop.

Now that she has witnessed her own "future," how could she not be overjoyed?

“You’re finished,” Liz said.

The man in black robes can protect Freshta, but he does so at the cost of injuring himself.

If this continues, the black-robed man's strength will soon be weakened.

At that time, the man in black robes could no longer protect Freyshta.

Without protection? Without protection, even a second-tier Freishta wouldn't withstand a single blow from the combined three.

The only way for the man in black to escape was to take Freshta with him, but if they ran away, all their efforts would be in vain.

Lizche engaged in melee combat, sticking to the man in black robes, and then unleashed her feathers to attack Freishta, ending the battle.

Any plan, the longer it takes and the more steps it involves, the more likely it is to be disrupted by unexpected factors.

And they are now that unexpected factor.

Just as Liz, the one with the dominant consciousness, was about to entangle the man in black, a sudden heavy blow almost knocked all three of them unconscious.

Coming to my senses, I noticed a strange presence had appeared in the spacious area in front of the massive stone gate, which was over ten meters high.

The monster's head was almost a large metal bird beak, with a circle on each side like eyes. Its body was humanoid, consisting of standing limbs and a torso, covered in a thick layer of fur. The exposed hands looked like those wearing silver metal gauntlets, and the feet had only four separate, thick toes. It didn't look like a human, but more like an animal. However, the toes and fingers peeking out from the fur had a metallic appearance.

Machine? Animal?

Regardless, now there's one more enemy.

One against two, you have to deal with one of them first.

Having just taken a hit, Lavana, Liz, and Louise were all quite certain that the bird-beaked monster's close-range attack was more powerful than the black-robed man's, so they chose to launch a ranged attack on the bird-beaked monster as a test.

A hail of arrows rained down on the bird-beaked monster, which stood motionless. Its bird-like head opened, not vertically, but split open from the middle to both sides, spitting out a beam of red light. As its head and neck swayed, the red light also swayed, and all the arrows in mid-air were swept away and wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, the bird-beaked monster closed its mouth, but emitted a cold, stiff, mechanical voice, "Freshta, you really are pathetic."

“Isn’t it the chips you sent that have gone wrong?” Freishta retorted.

The bird-beaked monster retorted, "So, I'm here to clean up the mess?" At this point, Liz realized that the three of them were no match for him, and they would only be fish on a cutting board from now on.

Although I am unwilling and I can still fight, it would be foolish to fight at this point.

The signal to Ronan was given from the very beginning; now all we can do is send another signal.

Without hesitation, Liz unleashed a full-force, violent attack on the gate.

The white, massive gate, which resembled both stone and metal, had remained undamaged despite being repeatedly affected by the battle. However, it was now dented. The gate then completely deflected the impact from the combined three, who narrowly avoided the attack. Upon closer inspection, golden-red, unknown symbolic patterns appeared on the massive stone gate.

Freyshta's face instantly turned cold. "Is this what you call cleaning up the mess?"

She was certainly prepared to trigger the alarm, but that didn't mean it was something she could easily accept.

The bird-beaked monster tilted its head and spread its hands, looking as if it had tried its best. "If you don't waste time, you have plenty of time."

At this moment, Lavana, Liz, and Louise broke free of their bond and surrendered.

Freshta let out a long breath, walked to the huge stone door, and prepared to open it.

The mysterious bird-beaked monster waited quietly.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Chapter 1190 Not Human, the Battle is Intense, I'm Not Too Late, Am I?

The enormous door isn't actually a door; it's a "surface" of the overall structure of the treasure vault. The entire vault is like a seamless rectangular metal box inserted directly into a large, excavated, and renovated natural cave. Since it wasn't originally a door, it naturally can't be opened normally.

At this moment, the dent that had been created by the black winged centaur formed by the three of them had been repaired.

Violence is not a good method because it is too time-consuming.

Freyshta didn't actually know the correct method, but she had a way to get in: make the surface actively unfold a door.

To do this, the treasure trove, which follows a set of mechanisms, must determine that she is an "object" ready to leave from it.

What others cannot do is not so difficult for Freishta.

Because she is not human, she is an artificial being, as is her sister Bahar.

She had always believed that she was her mother's biological child with her deceased father, the director of the orphanage, but she was not; she was just an artificial being created by her mother.

Because she is an artificial human, she was able to trick the vault into opening the door.

Because she is an artificial human, she is able to wear the armor inside. But she not only wants to merge with the mecha, she also wants to use several other devices inside to turn Liz and Louise into a part of her new form.

Freshta placed her hand on the enormous door, and in no time, she had successfully deceived it. A dot appeared in the center of the door, which was over ten meters high. Slowly, the dot expanded into a circular opening, and eventually, it grew into a hole with a diameter of over one meter.

With a single leap, Freishta disappeared into the hole.

The man in black robes and the bird-beaked monster exchanged glances, then simultaneously looked at Lavana, Liz, and Louise.

The three understood, and immediately jumped up and crawled into the cave, arriving inside the treasure vault.

Then, the man in black robes and the bird-beaked monster entered one after the other.

Upon entering, the man in black robes immediately began working. Although his combat prowess surpassed that of most people, he was actually an engineer. While Freishta was a first-rate scholar in the fields of extraordinary theory and magical machinery, he was still a bit inferior to the man in black robes.

The man in black robes began his work, and the bird-beaked monster looked at Freishta, "Isn't it time to complete our deal?"

He wanted a document from this document, but he didn't have time to search for it slowly, so he naturally asked Freishta to find it and give it to him.

Just then, another person appeared in the treasure vault. This person had short, messy hair with silver temples, while the hair on top was thick and black. His face was sharply defined, with a thick, upturned mustache below his nose and an even thicker beard on his chin, almost obscuring his lips. He wore a brown, fitted military uniform, a long cloak, and black knight's boots, with a curved sword at his waist. The oppressive aura he exuded far surpassed that of the black-robed man and the bird-beaked monster.

Seventh level?

Lavana, Liz, and Louise were all stunned.

The bird-beaked monster scratched its head with its large, mechanical-looking hand. "Sigh, I knew you weren't going to honor the contract." With that, the bird-beaked monster reached into its long fur and pulled out a remote control with a button. "I just need to press a certain button, and these two girls will explode."

Sending Liz and Louise to the training camp not only gave Freishta ample time to repeatedly inspect them, but also gave her ample time to realize that she herself was incapable of creating beings like Liz and Louise.

Freshta showed no alarm at the threat. "Ha, hand them over to me completely, and you'll have a chance to live. Otherwise, you're doomed."

"Is this really necessary? It's not like you can't just copy and take that information with you." The bird-beaked monster didn't understand why Freshta was being so forceful.

“If you take it away, you are harming the interests of this country,” Freishta responded.

"Aren't you doing something that harms the interests of this country right now?" the bird-beaked monster retorted, raising the hand holding the remote control. "Don't waste any more time. Your mother is coming. I can leave anytime, but you probably can't." Letting out a long breath, Freishta still chose to compromise. This was not the result she wanted, but now, a stalemate was not a solution. The mysterious person who had transformed into the bird-beaked monster could leave empty-handed, but she absolutely could not let her efforts be in vain.

In a game of strategy, the one who is less willing to accept defeat often has to choose to compromise; the logic is that simple.

Freishta picked out that document.

In a bad mood, she tossed the box containing the documents aside, and the box flew into the air.

The bird-beaked monster raised its other hand, ready to catch it.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and the box in the air disappeared in the blink of an eye. Looking again, a man was holding the palm-sized box in his hand. He looked at Lavana, Liz, and Louise beside him and said, "I'm not too late, am I?" Louise was overjoyed to see Ronan. Liz pouted as if she was a little resentful, but she still smiled. Lavana nodded. She had always believed that Ronan would come.

"I knew it." The bird-beaked monster chuckled inwardly, pressing a button without hesitation—not the one to blow them up, but the one to paralyze them. With Liz and Louise paralyzed, negotiations could begin. Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, it wouldn't matter; he'd just blow them up. Ronan had neither the time nor the resources to stop him from leaving, all for the sake of rescuing them.

He was confident he could handle Ronan, but not with this remote-controlled guise. "Hmm?"

However, the next moment, the bird-beaked monster was shocked to find that Liz and Louise had not fallen.

They miscalculated; the devices inside their bodies were removed.

The bird-beaked monster, the man in military uniform, and the man in black robes exchanged glances, and in the next instant, they simultaneously attacked Ronan in perfect unison.

Without hesitation, Freishta rushed over and activated the armor. At this point, there was no chance of merging Liz and Louise. The only option was to take advantage of the three of them holding Ronan back and run away with the items.

After she ran away, the man in the black robe and the man in the military uniform escaped as planned. As for the bird-beaked monster, who cares? If he could escape, that was his own doing; if he couldn't, that was his own fault.

Ronan handled the full-force attack from one sixth-tier and two seventh-tier opponents with ease.

If he disregarded everything and was willing to get injured, he could completely stop Freishta.

If he had been any more ruthless, he would have already killed this sixth-tier black-robed man instantly.

But why bother? Freshta has been able to get to where she is now because of the indulgence and even tacit approval of Menar and Mushir. If the mother doesn't care, why should the grandfather meddle?

Ronan's only target was this bird-beaked monster.

Just then, another person arrived outside the gate: Ronan and Falek's second daughter, Muhir.

Fleishta, covered in armor, looked at her mother. "I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

With a smile on her face, just like a kind mother answering her daughter's questions about homework at home, Mushir patiently explained, "Explaining principles takes time, explaining physics saves time. Solving problems is not easy, solving problems with people is easy." The meaning couldn't be clearer.

“You’re ruthless,” Freishta said.
