Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 255 The Power of the Police

The minotaur quickly maintained his weapon, then picked it up and examined it closely. It was the weapon he had chosen in his youth to emulate his hero, the strongest minotaur warrior, the Minotaur. Now, this old friend, weathered by time and showing signs of age like himself, unexpectedly shone brightly once again.

"Old Ai Feng, you make up your mind. Are you going to come with us to fight the enemy, or hide like a weakling?" At this moment, an old lizardman warrior looked up and shouted. He and the forty-eight policemen outside were now waiting for the old minotaur warrior's reply.

In fact, the police system of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races is very simple. All retired veterans are assigned to various cities after passing the mental magic test to confirm that they have no bloodlust or violent tendencies. However, due to their lack of talent, these veterans are unable to break through to the legendary level of longevity in their lifetime. Therefore, as they grow old and their bodies weaken, most of them only have the battle qi cultivation level of a paladin.

However, this level of cultivation is more than enough to maintain public order. The difference between a Holy Knight and an ordinary citizen is as huge as the difference between the Hulk and an ordinary person. In other words, the management system of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races is to have a group of super soldiers maintain public order. This is also why most towns in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races don't have many evil forces. After all, the police station is full of brutal veterans with blood on their hands. Even if a 'Homelander' commits a crime here, he'll be carried out lying down!

So when they heard that humans were counterattacking southern Xinjiang, these veteran police officers protested. "We may be old, but we're not useless! Damn it, when have we ever suffered such injustice in our lives of military service?!" they shouted. "Let's do it!"

So the police from the five border towns joined forces to prepare to go out and meet the enemy. Now, only their strongest minotaur, 'Aifeng,' has not given a definite answer as to whether to follow them or retreat.

The police force in a small town is equipped with ten units, so they only have fifty units of combat power at most. Therefore, each one is crucial, which is why all the veterans came to wait for Ai Feng.

Two streams of hot air shot out from the tauren Afon's nostrils, and he roared, "I was born to fight, and I will die to fight!"

The old lizardman warrior burst into laughter, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old buddy, I knew you wouldn't back down! Let's go! Let's teach those greenhorns a lesson!"

The police officers danced with joy, then eagerly ran out, marching in neat and orderly formation toward the human forces to the north.

……

At the southern border, the human expeditionary force encountered the most difficult battle of their lives shortly after setting foot in the southern border region.

It was initially a scout from the human army who spotted the monsters in the distance. He then reported it, but the human army did not take the intelligence seriously. After all, how could a force of less than a hundred men possibly contend with the 200,000-strong human expeditionary force?

Once the fifty policemen arrived at the border, they immediately charged at the human army. The tanks accompanying the human army also turned their cannons and opened fire. Unfortunately, the policemen acted very quickly, and if the shells did not hit the monsters directly, the impact and shrapnel would only cause them minor injuries.

The police officers, clad in insect exterminator armor, instantly accelerated to the front of the formation, drew their weapons from behind, and opened fire on the human army. The police force's equipment consisted mostly of prototype equipment discarded by the Institute of Science and Technology and early rune armor. In other words, their equipment was often the last batch of prototype insect exterminator equipment with multiple functions but not suitable for mass production, as well as the first batch of magical armor personally enchanted by Agred. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that these police officers were now wielding the most advanced non-standard equipment in Southern Xinjiang!

Then the police took out three miniature nuclear missile launchers, numbered 097 and also known as "landing flower guns," and unleashed a barrage of ammunition at the human army. The human army's formation was shattered by small mushroom clouds, and tanks and lightly armed vehicles were targeted and reduced to rubble. After running out of ammunition, the police, carrying their weapons, roared and charged into the human army's formation.

Even large-caliber rifles in the hands of humans could not penetrate the rune armor on the monsters' bodies, and in terms of defensive equipment alone, their ridiculous bulletproof vests could not withstand the blunt weapons and enchanted sharp weapons in the hands of the monsters.

In the blink of an eye, the invading army quickly turned into a suicide squad. A dramatic scene began to unfold. The 200,000-strong human army was terrified and began to retreat frantically. Although they had only lost about 500 soldiers, the morale of the human side had been completely shattered. Seeing this, the commander of the human army lost his composure. Damn it, if the enemy drove them back home, he would be infamous for eternity and become a background figure in history books forever.

He immediately summoned his personal guard's tanks and launched a barrage of artillery fire at the monsters. Several policemen wearing exterminator armor who were wreaking havoc were hit. The artillery fire detonated the nuclear fusion core of the jet devices on their bodies. The policemen were instantly critically injured and on the verge of death due to the flaws in the armor design.

Upon seeing his comrade wounded, Ai Feng roared in fury, "They're so damn arrogant! Not only do they not surrender, but they dare to fight back!! Kill them!!!" With that, Ai Feng activated the enchantment circle on his battle axe and threw it with all his might. The axe instantly reaped the lives of a large number of human soldiers before flying back into his hand. At the same time, the old lizardman warrior ran to the tanks of the royal guard and destroyed all the cans.

Seeing his army crumbling, the commander hardened his heart and shouted to all the troops, "Don't run away! We still have secret weapons to deal with them! Gather them together!" The human commander gave this order in human language, so the police of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races did not understand what he meant.

Upon hearing that there was a secret weapon to deal with the monsters, the human army seemed to regain its morale. The soldiers began to cooperate and use their lives to surround the monsters. Just when the soldiers thought that their commander would produce some secret weapon, a mushroom cloud suddenly exploded from the monsters' encirclement. The shockwave and terrifying heat radiation instantly killed the human soldiers on the outer edge of the encirclement.

This was the human commander's plan: to fight this battle in a way that would inflict heavy losses on both sides, since there was no other way; the police officers' combat capabilities were simply too overwhelming.

The human commander, who had already fled with his guard company long after the explosion, looked through the observation scope at the epicenter of the blast. In the scorched earth, Ephon and the old warriors wearing rune armor slowly got up. Although the rune armor had absorbed most of the damage, their flesh was still severely burned. As for the other police veterans, they were nowhere to be found, leaving only melted, unrecognizable equipment on the ground and a lava-like liquid flowing from it.
