Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

Two waves of Silver Mane Iron Guards started fighting, and the miners, underground fires, and train crews also got into a melee with some of the Iron Guards.

Clara hugged the mechanical box, opened her mouth wide, and hid against the wall in fear.

"What the hell is going on here!" Clara said anxiously, "Why are those Silver Mane Guards here? Why are they fighting? Where's Brother Anyi?!"

In front of Clara, a Silvermane Iron Guard guard rushed forward, shouting something like "Earth Marrow" and "The upper area is almost freezing to death".

Another miner rushed over, shouting "You deserve it, we will never hand over the marrow even if we die" and the two miners started fighting.

The Silver Mane Iron Guards were much better equipped and had the upper hand in the conflict. However, when several people from the train crew also started fighting, the situation was different. The rifles in the Iron Guards' hands were locked by the six-phase ice and were no different from the pickaxes in the hands of the miners.

In addition, members of the Earth and Fire team such as Xier and Luca are really good at fighting, so the situation was quickly evened out.

"Clara?"

Xier kicked a member of the Silver Mane Iron Guard away, and then said to the little girl huddled in the corner: "Why are you here? Aren't you staying in the mechanical settlement?"

"I, I'm here to look for Brother An Yi..." Clara held the iron box in her hand and spoke incoherently: "That is, what exactly is this..."

"An Yi? I want to know where An Yi is, too!" Xier brandished her sickle and sent a guard flying. "I haven't seen him since this morning! Hey, Luca—"

"What are you doing!" Luca used his mechanical arm to block the butt of a gun thrown by an iron guard, and responded to Xier without turning his head.

"I asked you to find An Yi, have you done that?"

"There's no sign of Mr. An Yi anywhere in the lower district! Even his companions don't know where he went!"

"I'll go call Natasha and Boss Oleg!" Xier shouted, "Hurry up and get rid of these guards, okay?"

Luca was knocked to the ground by a guard. He punched the guard away, then got up from the ground and looked at Xier silently.

"…What do you think I'm doing now?" Luca asked Xier.

San Yue Qi used an arrow to freeze a mine cart filled with earth marrow with the Six Phases Ice, and then muttered to himself: "Really, if you want the earth marrow, can't you negotiate? It's too much to just rob it!"

"Ah, Clara!" Sanyueqi suddenly found Clara hiding by the wall: "It's not fun here, get out of here!"

"Well, but——"

Before Clara could finish her words, March Seventh picked up her bow and arrow and rushed to find Dan Heng and Xing.

But at this moment, the weapon of an iron guard suddenly slipped out of his hand and was knocked away. The bayonet under the muzzle flew out and stabbed straight towards Clara.

"Protect, Clara."

The little robot Timmy discovered this in advance, and moved his four little paws to quickly stand in front of Clara. However, he was not lucky enough - the bayonet was inserted straight into the socket of the traffic light, smashing the circuit components inside, causing it to emit a crackling sound of electricity.

Clara was also startled by this sudden change. The iron box in her hand slipped, drew a curve in the air, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Uh-huh——"

The watch given to An Yi flew out and hit the wall. The back cover fell off and the parts inside flew out, and even the glass cracked.

"Huh?! Hand, watch!" Clara's heart seemed to be pulled hard at once.

"Timmy! What should we do, everyone's Timmy?!" After seeing the little robot crackling and emitting sparks, Clara rushed over in panic and checked Timmy's condition.

She stretched out her hand, trying to pull out the bayonet that had stabbed into Timmy's body, but before her right hand touched the blade, her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"You'll get hurt, silly." The man said, "Although I'm not very interested in machinery, it's not a big problem to repair a small robot, don't worry too much."

After hearing this man's voice, Clara was stunned for a moment, then raised her head suddenly.

"Brother An Yi!" Clara shouted.

She originally felt a little scared and anxious, but as soon as An Yi appeared beside her, all these emotions were overwhelmed by a sense of security.

The feeling of grievance about her broken watch just now also came up, making Clara want to cry.

An Yi looked down at Clara's big eyes filled with tears, and couldn't help but touch her head to comfort her.

The portal behind An Yi also slowly closed. It seemed that he had just returned to Panyan Town.

“Brother An-An Yi!” Clara wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, pulled An Yi’s hand and shouted, “The uncle of the Silver Mane Iron Guard has started a fight with everyone, what should we do?”

An Yi turned around, looked at the scene in front of him, and pinched his chin. What surprised Clara was that there was no surprise on An Yi's face.

"Okay, okay!" An Yi clapped his hands.

With this action, several silk threads made of sparks emerged from the air and were wrapped around the guards of the Silver Mane Iron Guard.

"Hey, hey, hey, what is this thing!" those people shouted.

The spark threads suddenly tightened, pulling these people together. The sound of flesh colliding was heard, and these iron guards were forced to collide with each other, causing them all to faint.

"Let the children's playing house stop here. It will be inappropriate if they continue to make trouble!" An Yi shouted.

The originally chaotic scene was eased at once, the two groups of people were perfectly separated, and then there were surprised looks from several people in the train crew.

"An Yi, you finally came out!"

"An Yi! Did you go somewhere to slack off?" asked March 7.

"Being lazy? No, I should be considered to be working overtime." An Yi replied: "Just now, in order to clean up someone's mess, I was forced to talk to a silly - oh Clara is still here, can't swear, I mean, I talked to a certain gentleman and stretched my muscles."

"……what?"

Xing and Sanyueqi both showed puzzled expressions, only Danheng remained as usual.

"Who can tell me now what happened in Panyan Town?" An Yi patted the non-existent dust on his hands and asked everyone who had recovered from the chaos.

Ah this

Fish sauce!

Chapter 5.2: An Yi is going to accept a disciple?! (k)

"What happened here! I've only been away from the lower area for less than twelve hours!" An Yi shouted, "Did the Silver Mane Iron Guard take it down? Have they advanced to Panyan Town? Even Germany's blitzkrieg on Poland wasn't this fast!"

When the miners heard An Yi's voice, they all put down their weapons and gathered around.

"It's Lord An Yi!" someone shouted, "I knew Lord An Yi would come back to help us!"

"You are worthy of being called Lord An Yi!" Some miners came to the group of tied up and unconscious Iron Guards and said, "You have easily accomplished what we cannot do! I really admire you so much!"

So everyone cheered, and there was more respect in their eyes when they looked at An Yi and the other members of the train crew.

"......Alas." An Yi sighed helplessly, and then said: "That's not what I want to hear. Can someone tell me the cause and effect?"

Then a petite girl with round-framed glasses and wearing a Silver Mane Iron Guard uniform squeezed out of the crowd and came to An Yi.

"Mr. An Yi!" She took a breath and looked up into An Yi's eyes: "Finally I see you!"

"Oh, I recognize you." An Yi looked the girl up and down, and then said, "I saw you before at the Administrative Square. You were playing with a group of children."

"Well, strictly speaking, I am serving as a docent for the children's study tours."

"Yes, your name is—" Anyi paused and thought about the name the children called her: "Your name is Sister Payne."

"Ah? Uh, no..." She smiled awkwardly and said to Anyi: "My name is Pelagya Sergeyevna."

"...I'd better call you Sister Payne."

"Just call me Pera, Mr. Anyi! Not Payne."

"That's right, your eyes are not purple, and you don't look like you can use Shinra Tensei." An Yi muttered to himself for a while, and then continued: "Miss Pella, you are the Silver Mane Guard, right? Why are you here? And you brought so many..."

An Yi looked back and found that there were many soldiers wearing Silver Mane Iron Guard uniforms standing nearby. They were on the side of the miners in the previous conflict.

"Why did you bring so many soldiers with you?" An Yi asked.

"This... is actually due to the order of the Great Guardian." Pera explained: "Lord Cocolia transferred the Iron Guards and Lord Jeppard from the front line and asked me to assist him in coming to the lower area to [capture] Mr. An Yi and your friends."

"Did Cocolia give the order? It seems her soul has finally returned to her body. It's not easy - oh, so are you going to torture me away now?" An Yi raised his hands, put them together, and asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me!" Pera waved her hands quickly: "I won't do such a thing! In fact, Lord Jeppard thinks the same way."

Perla pinched her chin and thought for a while. As the Intelligence Officer of the Silvermane Guard, she was very good at summarizing things in concise language: "After Lord Jeppard and I came to the Lower District, we saw the earth-shaking changes here. To be honest, the Lower District now is really... It's like heaven! I'm a little at a loss for words! Many things here are what I have only seen in historical materials or storybooks! So not long after we stayed here, many of the Silvermane Guards brought by Lord Jeppard decided to stay in the Lower District. Even Lord Jeppard himself believed that you were the one who could save Beloberg."

"Oh? Is this considered treason?" March 7 approached Anyi and asked Pella.

"Eh? Well...Je...Actually, Lord Jeppard and I also feel that something is wrong with Lord Cocolia now." Pera said, "Lord Anyi is here to help Beloberg, but Lord Cocolia insists on convicting you. Such behavior...I don't understand."

"It seems that Cocolia has been completely controlled by the star core." Dan Heng whispered to Anyi, "It wants to get rid of us quickly."

"In the words of Lord Jeppard, [Mr. Anyi and the people of the lower district of Beloberg are on the same front, and if the people are lost, the meaning of the Iron Guard will no longer exist. The decision to arrest Mr. Anyi is contrary to [protection] and conflicts with the outsiders. I don't understand the meaning of this kind of battle.]" Pera repeated Jeppard's words, and then added: "I completely agree with Lord Jeppard's words, so after seeing the situation in the lower district, he decided to take the remaining Silver Mane Iron Guards and Lady Bronya back home and report the situation to the Lord Guardian."

"Bronya?" An Yi frowned slightly: "She and Jeppard returned to the upper area?"

Pera nodded: "She wants to persuade Lady Cocolia to put aside her prejudice against you. In fact, I was also asked by Lady Bronya to stay here and pass on information to you."

"That child is really naive..." An Yi said to herself, "She will definitely fail, but it's okay to let her try on her own."

"Well, why do you say that?" Pera asked.

"Why? Because of Cocolia." An Yi replied: "She looks like an eighty-year-old cicada now."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Like an old cicada!" An Yi shouted, "Her ability to govern is probably greater than zero and less than one. It's hard for me to judge. Don't look at me like that, Miss Pera. This is the truth - oh, and what about those other Iron Guards I tied up?"

"They?" Pella looked at the fainted Iron Guards and spoke slowly, "They are the [Royal Guards] of the Silver Mane Iron Guard."

"Imperial Guards?" An Yi frowned. "This is Yalilo VI, not Terra World, right? What do the Imperial Guards do?"

"It is an army that only obeys the orders of Lord Kokolia and is directly under the Great Guardian. It is a special existence among the Silver Mane Iron Guards."

"That is, the die-hard fans of Cocolia - oh, sorry, there are children here, I mean, the die-hard fans."

An Yi glanced at Clara beside him and corrected his wording.

"Almost... Lord Kokolia seems to have asked them to come down and rob the earth's marrow, because the upper area is running out of energy." Pera frowned and said in confusion: "Obviously there is a more peaceful way to solve the problem... Why did the Great Guardian give such an order?"

"Okay, I understand." An Yi shrugged: "It's not too surprising. Thank you for your answer, Miss Pera."

"Eh? Thank you or something? Please don't say that - it's my honor!" Pella quickly bowed to Anyi.

An Yi waved his hand indifferently and used magic to make the overturned marrow mine carts stand up, and the marrow blocks scattered on the ground float back into the mine carts one by one.

The rest was easy - Xier brought Oleg and other members of the Earth Fire Group over, and after discovering that An Yi had resolved the matter, they began to organize people to send the wounded to Natasha's clinic.

The miners in the lower area began to clean up the battlefield. Fortunately, no one died, but many people's mining tools were damaged.

While cursing Cocolia's stupid behavior, they started to repair the tools. A feeling of resentment and dissatisfaction filled the town of Panyan.

An Yi and several people from the train crew gathered together. Xing looked at An Yi who was thinking about something and spoke slowly:

"You don't seem very surprised." Xing asked, "Is this also part of your plan?"

"Cocolia's operation has always been confusing. I can't tell whether she is really incompetent or the star core is using her body to play a role." An Yi replied: "But overall it is all within my plan - these miners have successfully caused a conflict with Cocolia's Silver Mane Iron Guards. Does this mean that the first step of the plan has been completed?"

"The first step?" San Yue Qi asked, "Oh, you mean, let them be angry?"

"I believe that according to Cocolia's operation, these miners will be even angrier in the future..." Dan Heng looked at Anyi: "What's the next step?"

"The second step - give them guns." An Yi raised two fingers, as if making a gesture to everyone.

"Gun? I want one too! An Yi——" Xing shouted.

"It's not a real gun, it's just a metaphor! Fool." An Yi smiled helplessly, and then explained: "We have to make the people in the lower district believe that even if our train crew doesn't take direct action, they are capable of defeating Cocolia and his guards."

"What are you going to do?" Dan Heng pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Just give them weapons?"

An Yi put away his fingers, remained silent for a while, and did not directly respond to Dan Heng's question.

He shook his head slightly, then turned and walked to the other side of the street.

The people on the train looked at each other and followed curiously.

An Yi walked to the wall at the corner of the street. Clara was kneeling there, with her head down, fiddling with something. She didn't even notice that An Yi was standing behind her.

An Yi looked down and found Clara holding a pile of parts, sweating profusely as she tried to repair a watch - she carefully assembled the gears together and fine-tuned the position of the mini earth core inside.

"It's a beautiful mechanical watch, but the glass is broken." An Yi said, "It may be difficult to repair it with normal means."

"Um..." Clara was startled by An Yi's voice. Her little hands trembled, and the parts that she had put together with great difficulty fell to the ground again.

She hurriedly pressed the parts to the ground to prevent them from rolling away, then turned around with a feeling of grievance.

"It turns out to be Brother An Yi, and the outsider sisters..." Clara took a breath.

San Yue Qi bent down and came close to Clara: "Are you repairing something, Clara? Do you want the train crew to help?"

"Eh? No, no need..." Clara lowered her head, her face looking very disappointed: "A lot of parts are lost, it probably can't be repaired, I can only make a new one..."
