You can sit on Lolo's chair too.

The intersecting bone spikes formed a sloping surface in front of the window. Dark red power swirled up to meet the projectile, pushing it aside before it could hit the bone, and flinging it into the already collapsed corner of the building.

Broken bricks and dust flew up with a roar.

Jiang Luo reached his tentacles under the window, wrapped them around the two figures, dragged them behind the wall on the other side, and then lifted up the chip.

"Stop right there! There are people in the building to the left of the Red Tower. Don't keep firing in this direction!"

Someone quickly called for a halt over the communication channel. Jiang Luo leaped down from the low wall and landed in front of Caesar, where the strange soldier with the shield had already knelt down.

Its right shoulder was torn open by shrapnel, its arm hung limply at its side, and the gray claws it had torn off its companion were still stuck on the shield.

Caesar reached out and pressed down on its shoulder, pushing the broken armor plates back into place, and then had the people behind him use a flatbed cart to take the rescued wounded.

He looked up at the high ground, his lips pursed tightly.

"If this road continues to be open like this, my people won't be able to get through."

Jiang Luo didn't tell him to hold back. Instead, she contacted the person in charge of guiding the firepower and asked how the landing point was determined.

The other side quickly responded, saying that they had confirmed there were no troops outside the empty building before the shelling. Caesar's soldiers were originally in the next alley, but a comrade being dragged by Grayclaw rolled out from behind the wall, and the one with the shield rushed over to pick him up.

From the moment it left the formation until the shell fell, it didn't have time to send another message.

Jiang Luo looked up and glanced at the positions on both sides.

Only this one shot had just been fired; the artillery fire behind it had stopped. In the dust rising from the corner of the building, the observation officer was hurrying down the broken wall, his rangefinder still hanging on his shoulder.

She gestured to him, preventing him from taking a shortcut under the still-unstable bricks.

Those standing on high ground could see the rooftops, but not the recessed space beneath the windows. Caesar's troops moved close to the wall, unaware of when the cannons on the other side would fall.

"Send the wounded away first. Write down which cannon it was and who reported the location. After the replacements are done here, you can explain what you saw to each other."

After she finished speaking, she told the officer in charge of observation to come down from the roof and bring the communications to Caesar's side, and then she told Caesar to send someone who recognized his own troops to accompany him.

"Watch this part together. Don't let one person speak without the other walking in. If something lunges at you, tell me which wall is in front of you first."

Caesar glanced at the officer, but ultimately did not send him back. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed out the spot where the troops were about to pass through.

The shield bearer who was sent opened his shield slightly to give the officer a slit to observe, and pointed to a spot close to the base of the building, reminding him that although it looked empty, a person bending over could actually hide there.

"Report back when the last shield has retreated. Don't assume the whole team has finished just because the first few have left."

The officer pressed the communication button, reconfirmed the ceasefire, and then moved to its right.

"Then don't suddenly change direction. I'll call you to stop when I can't see you. Once you hear me, tell me where you are."

The shield bearer didn't say anything nice; he just pushed the officer's arm that was sticking out of the shield inward.

Jiang Luo reconnected with Long Zhanye.

The human replacement team was at the other end of the street, and the ammunition had been delivered, but the intersection between the two teams was still occupied by the family members. Whenever someone tried to climb up the platform along the side of the building, the long limbs in the window would pounce down at the same time.

She stepped onto the collapsed door frame and was finally able to see the round windows clearly.

There is no floor slab inside.

A grayish-white body stood upright in the empty building, its back pressed against the broken roof above. Dozens of thin limbs spread out from both sides of the body, each reaching into a window, and many smaller members of the same kind lay beneath its abdomen.

It looked like the whole building was full of monsters, but actually most of their limbs were connected to the same body.

Jiang Luo looked down and measured the exit at the bottom of the building, then lightly tapped the door frame with the sickle.

"If you like sticking your legs out so much, then come out and walk around by yourself. If you hide in the house, Lolo will have to take down each window for you one by one."

Bone spurs rose from the floor inside the building, passing through several connected long limbs, driving the small creature lying underneath toward the broken door on the other side.

As soon as they emerged from the doorway, a burst of gunfire erupted from the open ground.

This time, the observation officer stood right next to Caesar, and only after seeing the last long shield retreat into the side alley did he raise his hand to report the firing position.

The sound of artillery fire came from behind the high ground, but instead of hitting the empty buildings, it landed among the gray shadows that had just left their shelter.

The soft belly was torn open by the fragments, and the severed limbs rolled into the ditch by the roadside. Several more still crawled close to the ground, but Caesar's long shield immediately closed, blocking them outside the alley entrance.

Jiang Luo rushed straight into the empty building before the smoke cleared.

The enormous body inside suddenly turned around, a vertical slit split open at the front, and a gray tongue with teeth lashed down from above, the scythe blade sweeping across it, the severed half crashing down behind her.

She used her tentacles to grip the crossbeam, and with her left hand, she inserted a sickle into the seam under her neck, using the force of her fall to cut open a large piece of gray shell along the seam.

The thing didn't fall over.

The slender limbs that were bracing themselves in the round window snapped back at the same time, pulling down several sections of the crumbling wall. Jiang Luo stepped on the falling bricks and backed away to the side. Two thick limbs that had emerged from his wound followed up and slammed down, smashing the door frame into pieces.

It finally left that building.

The last thick limb swept towards the steps.

Long Zhanye had just come down from the high ground to meet the team. He raised his sword and slashed at the bend of the long limb. The blade got stuck, so he turned sideways and braced himself against the broken wall, pushing the tip that was rushing towards him away.

A section of the wall was wiped away, and several team members carrying ammunition crouched down and passed behind him without throwing the box in the middle of the steps.

Caesar immediately stepped forward, pressing down the bent limb with his long shield. Long Zhanye withdrew his sword and made a final slash along the crack, finally causing the grayish-white, pointed limb to fall to the side of the road.

Taking advantage of the moment it turned, she circled around to the other side and blocked its escape route, preventing it from retreating back into the building.

Jiang Luo landed at the edge of the open space, raised her hand to stop the people behind her who were about to raise their guns. Dark red light spread out from under her feet, and a long table appeared in front of her gray-white body.

"Now that we're out here, let's find a seat first."

The Absolute Truth Tea Party begins.

Several large stone chairs were lifted from the edge of the table, their backs hooked onto the bent limbs, pulling the entire body downwards. The thick limbs that were about to spread out were pressed back to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

Jiang Luo raised her sickle, her red eyes curving slightly.

(≖ᴗ≖)✧

The hand in the sky could dismantle her table, so does this thing in front of her, which can't even squeeze through the doorway, also want to overturn the table?

Its thin armor suddenly opened up.

Several small creatures, still curled up, sprang out from under the armor, crossed the edge of the tea party, and pounced on the replacement team that was coming from the side alley.

A flash of silver light first severed the thin neck at the very front.

Stella stood beside the broken lamppost, her giant shears slashing across the ground, the blades shredding the claws that had fallen to the ground. Then, she turned her toes to avoid the splashing mortar.

A juvenile clings to the wall behind her and climbs up.

A beam of headlights illuminated the human ranks, and the moment the wall was lit, the fine needle on the head maid's wrist flew out, passing through the real shadow that had fallen, and embedding itself in the crack in the brick.

The larvae paused in their lunging motion.

Stella didn't drag it to the end; instead, she first sent up the giant shears to cut its body, which was pressed against the wall, before turning sideways to avoid the fallen iron frame and letting the thin rope return to the box along the clear path.

"My lord, look ahead, I'll clear this area."

Jiang Luo withdrew the tentacles that were originally about to reach into the side alley and pressed all his strength onto the edge of the table.

The gray-white monster's belly was pressed against the stone chair, its long limbs still struggling repeatedly, but it could no longer lift its body. She slashed down along the already split seam of its armor, the scythe blade passing through its neck and cutting through all the thick tendons that were tangled together inside.

His body fell forward.

The long table shook as it was smashed, and the thin limbs that had been pressed against the chair backs loosened one by one. Several broken nails grazed the ground and stopped at the edge of the tea party.

Jiang Luo didn't release the sickle handle until the vertical cut was completely closed before raising his left hand to remove the tables and chairs blocking the way.

Suddenly, I felt a slight tug at my feet.

She looked down and saw the gray liquid flowing from the body climbing up the stone chair. There were many extremely fine threads in the liquid, which were entangled in the dark red power that she was still maintaining the domain.

She tried to stop at one spot, and the gray patch burrowed even deeper into the table leg.

Under the edge of the table, there were several young animals trapped under chair legs, their tiny teeth repeatedly gnawing at the stone surface, stretching their long necks toward the boots approaching the steps.

Jiang Luo's finger stopped in mid-air.

The sound of human troops ascending the steps could be heard behind them, and Caesar's shield bearers began to move to the front of the intersection, while the old troops were retreating down the other side.

We can't take everything stuck to the table back up, nor can we suddenly break up the entire tea party and let the still-breathing infant follow the crowd.

She looked at the first stone chair stained with gray and slowly loosened her grip on the sickle.

"Stella, make them go past you, and don't touch Lolo's table."
