Daniel sulked to the Stardust Consortium. Even though favonovel.com and Milo had formed a solid friendship, and even though favonovel.com knew how annoying Milo was usually, favonovel.com would still get angry at favonovel.com if there was a reason to.
For his trip to the Stardust Consortium in the South this time, Daniel had planned to get there by going around the Stelaria Consortium’s territory. As such, favonovel.com could not travel together with Milo.
According to him, the Stelaria Consortium was increasingly getting crazier by the day. In normal times, favonovel.com might be able to go there and walk around openly since both parties had maintained a polite restraint with each other.
But as of now, who knew if the Stelaria Consortium would do something bad to him?
Milo watched Daniel’s receding figure as favonovel.com left, while Miriam stood beside favonovel.com with favonovel.com hands in favonovel.com jacket pockets. They were the only ones left in the originally bustling group.
“Whatcha you thinking about?” Miriam asked.
“I feel like I’ve been constantly faced with separation ever since I left Stronghold 113’s town.” Milo said, “I guess this is what adult life is like.”
But not long after Daniel left, the sound of a steam locomotive traveling through the wilderness could be heard.
As the sound approached, Milo and Miriam looked at each other. “Steven?”
Honestly speaking, they did not expect to bump into Steven here.
Didn’t favonovel.com flee from the Sacred Mountains?
Why would favonovel.com appear here?
And from the sound of it, the steam locomotive seemed to be traveling from the direction of the Sacred Mountains towards them at full speed.
The two of them hid behind a mound and waited to see what was going on. Milo wondered, “Could favonovel.com be here to seek revenge on me? That old bastard is usually very cautious. He can’t be that bold, right?”
Miriam looked at Milo in silence.
So, in your opinion, seeking revenge on you was a sign of audacity?
While pondering, Milo could see the steam locomotive appearing on the horizon. The steam locomotive kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke in its wake, looking like it was making an extremely powerful appearance. For some reason, the rugged-looking steam locomotive looked particularly compatible with the wilderness out here.
“Wait a minute,” Miriam said as favonovel.com held up favonovel.com spotting scope, “There’s others behind the steam locomotive.”
Milo was surprised to see through his spotting scope about 10 off-road vehicles following the steam locomotive. It looked like they were aggressively chasing after Steven!
“A great escape in the wilderness? A grand pursuit in the wilderness? This is spectacular!” Milo exclaimed emotionally as favonovel.com looked on in amazement.
Some time ago, favonovel.com had heard the female singer, Grace, discussing making movies with Brody Hawking, the movie director. They both expressed it would be very difficult for the film industry to recover to its previous level before The Cataclysm as there were too many scenes that could not be achieved now.
That was why Director Brody wanted to make a documentary about supernatural beings. That was because the actual combat scenes of supernatural beings these days were even more enjoyable to watch than the stunts and special effects in movies before The Cataclysm.
In the past, who would really destroy a stronghold for people to see?
Who could witness what a real cave-in at a lake looked like?
“Shouldn’t we be thinking about how to solve this current situation?” Miriam reminded him.
“Oh, yeah.” Milo nodded. “Wait, let’s see what happens next.”
Milo was a little puzzled.
Who could possibly be so bored to pursue Steven out here in the middle of nowhere?
It wasn’t without reason, after all. Milo had seen the Pyro Company’s logo on the off-road vehicles at the back. From the looks of it, they had been chasing favonovel.com all the way here from the Sacred Mountains.
Milo muttered, “It’s all my fault… There’s a total of seven off-road vehicles behind the steam locomotive. They should all be from the Pyro Company. Let’s get rid of them first. I feel that killing them should be a higher priority than taking Steven out.”
“Alright.” Miriam had already conjured favonovel.com black sniper rifle and started adjusting the scope’s ranging. “Let’s switch to incendiary bullets and just blow up the fuel tanks first. I’ll take the four vehicles at the back, and you can take the three in front.”
No matter how powerful Milo was now, Miriam was still the main force when it came to sniping targets.
Steven, who was fleeing for his life, suddenly heard a sniper rifle go off. After the sniper rifle’s gunshot rang out, it was followed by the sound of an off-road vehicle exploding behind him.
When Steven turned around, favonovel.com was overjoyed. He looked out of the steam locomotive’s window and was surprised to see the Pyro Company’s vehicles that had been pestering favonovel.com for a long time had exploded into balls of fire one after another.
Over the past few days, Steven edged to the verge of a breakdown. At the beginning, favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would shake off the pursuers behind favonovel.com very quickly. However, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was wrong. The Pyro Company was far more determined to kill favonovel.com than favonovel.com had imagined.
Although the Pyro Company needed to stop their vehicles and get gas from the trunks to refuel, there were limitations to his superpower as well. Otherwise, favonovel.com would also have sixteen carriages instead of only four.
Afterwards, Steven started traveling over the treacherous mountains as favonovel.com attempted to make use of the terrain to shake off his Pyro Company pursuers. However, a new convoy would always manage to catch up with him. There were even T5 combatants deployed to encircle and intercept favonovel.com in the mountains.
Steven was puzzled.
Did I dig up your Pyro Company’s ancestral grave or what?
What are you all getting so mad about?!
In the end, Steven had no choice but to head all the way south towards the Stelaria Consortium’s territory. Surely the Pyro Company’s troops wouldn’t go so far as to cause trouble in the Stelaria Consortium’s territory. Even if they did, the Stelaria Consortium would not agree to it!
That was what led to the sight Milo and Miriam were witnessing at this moment.
Steven continued watching as the vehicles behind favonovel.com exploded into fireballs one after another. He was extremely delighted. “Where did this hero pop out from? Someone actually stepped in to help me in the face of injustice!”
With that, Steven drove the steam locomotive right for the sniper’s gunshots. Just as favonovel.com was about to get close, favonovel.com suddenly narrowed his eyes and tried his best to make out who was helping him.
But at this moment, the ominous feeling within Steven started getting stronger, until favonovel.com saw Milo’s attire clearly.
“F*ck!” Steven panicked. He got very flustered!
When favonovel.com saw the Pyro Company had been attacked, favonovel.com thought it was the Stelaria Consortium that had stepped in. Now that they were inside the Stelaria Consortium’s territory, who knew if it were the Stelaria Consortium’s border guards who had ambushed the Pyro Company here?
But the moment favonovel.com saw Milo, favonovel.com immediately understood that after the Pyro Company members were all dead, favonovel.com would be the next to die.
Sometimes, the enemy of the enemy might not be your friend, but still an enemy.
When the steam locomotive in the wilderness made a sudden left turn, the inertia caused the rear of the train carriages to nearly swing into the air. From afar, it seemed like all four segments of the steam locomotive had just completed a drift in the wilderness.
“What a spectacular sight!” Milo said again emotionally.
He was about to pull the trigger to blow up the final vehicle of his target. But before favonovel.com could pull the trigger, the vehicle exploded. It was Miriam who fired at it.
Although they had agreed that Miriam would take four vehicles while Milo took three, Miriam blew up five of them in the end.
Milo thought to himself that this was probably the difference between a Master Firearms Proficiency user and a Perfect Firearms Proficiency user.
But a second later, a shadow leaped out of the last vehicle that was engulfed in flames. Although the other party’s clothes were on fire, favonovel.com seemed to be fine.
Milo said with a frown, “There’s even a T5?”
