Chapter 288 Sage King (1/2)

The men in black all had a small black insignia on their sleeves. The insignia was crimson in the middle and embroidered in gold.

”They're with the Black Flags.” Gao Peng could recognize them right away.

His grandfather had told him all about the various departments under the Allied Government, even the secret ones. The Black Flags were a secret unit under the Allied Government tasked with handling emergencies like these within the base cities.

With them were scores of jet-black hounds. Each of these hounds was easily 15 feet long and ten feet tall. Jutting out of each of their backs was an intimidating row of bone-like protrusions, which tented their skin like sheer arches.

Their obsidian fur had a glossy sheen to it, and their muscular limbs hinted at the incredible distances they could cover in a single bound.

[Monster Name]: Obsidian Hound

[Monster Level]: 23-35

[Monster Grade]: Normal (Elite)

[Monster Attribute]: Dark Type

[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Ferocious) (Alert) (Ready)

[Monster Weakness]:...

The level of the hounds ranged from 23 to 35, but not a single one of them had a grade above Normal. These hounds were obviously well trained. Not only had they shown no fear in the face of a Lord-tier monster, they had become even more fired up instead.

Make no mistake, these hounds were an elite combat squad of familiars.

There were at least 50 of them at the scene. That was to say, there were at least 50 Commander-tier familiars, all of them expertly trained to turn on a dime. Still, Gao Peng wasn't quite sure if they could take on the Lord-tier statue.

After all, this wasn't a game with offensive and defensive power. If one couldn't break through an opponent's guard, one couldn't hurt them. That was why numbers didn't really matter.

While enough ants could eventually take down an elephant, that, too, was predicated on the fact that the ants had to actually be able to pierce through an elephant's skin.

”Sir, I'm going to need you leave this area,” said a young police officer politely.

”You should stay away, too. That monster is insanely strong.” Gao Peng smiled lightly as he turned to leave.

Naturally, he didn't actually leave. He only backed a few hundred yards away.

More and more police familiars were being brought into the plaza. He even spotted a few military personnel there, as well.

They surrounded the statue, eyeing it warily.

In the apartments surrounding the plaza, people gathered on their balconies to watch the unfolding spectacle.

With all eyes on it, even a dumb brute like the statue could tell something was amiss.

Amidst the noise in the background,the head of the bronze statue slowly swiveled around with a creak and let out an ear-splitting cry as it raised its crescent blade, which gleamed spectacularly in the midday sun, to the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bronze steed started trampling wildly into the crowd of people around it, the giant crescent blade letting out a low hum.
