Seeing the swarm of drones approaching from all sides, Li Yi's face turned deathly pale.

As the person involved, he naturally knew that these drone swarms were not there to reinforce him, so the answer is obvious.

“Qian Peng, he absolutely does not have such strength and resources!” Li Yi said through gritted teeth, realizing that he had been drawn into a conspiracy far beyond his imagination.

These drones are not ordinary civilian drones, but specially modified combat drones, each equipped with small machine guns, bombs, or even cannons.

In just a few breaths, the swarm of drones quickly gathered in the sky above the square. Looking around, they were densely packed, numbering at least tens of thousands.

It formed a vast black curtain that blocked out the sun, inspiring fear in people.

As an electronic sound rang out, the drone swarm began to disperse in an orderly fashion, some hovering in mid-air, others flying at low altitudes, their targets aimed directly at the warriors of the Fireseed Legion.

"Shoot them down!" Li Yi shouted hoarsely.

"Da da da da da~"

Without Li Yi issuing an order, the Fire Seed warriors, though startled, began firing wildly.

A hail of bullets rained down on the drone in the sky.

However, the drones are small and scattered targets with flexible and unpredictable flight paths. In addition, they are equipped with advanced electronic jamming systems, which makes it almost impossible for the Fire Seed warriors to hit their targets.

At this moment, the drones began their countermeasures, with small machine guns spitting fire.

"Da da da da da~"

Five thousand Fireseed warriors, let alone fighting 10,000 armed drones, would not be able to easily deal with even 1,000 drones.

These drones are not only equipped with firepower systems, but also possess highly intelligent command and control systems.

They can quickly and automatically analyze the battlefield situation, automatically adjust tactics and strategies, and even predict the movement trajectory of the Fire Seed warriors in a short period of time, so as to carry out precise strikes.

With the drone swarm unleashing its full firepower, the entire battle became almost one-sided, and the Fire Seed warriors had no chance to fight back.

Faced with such advanced technology, the flesh and blood of the Fireseed warriors appear so fragile.

Waves of soldiers fell, their bodies torn apart by drone bullets and bombs, their blood staining the square red.

The remaining soldiers had lost all courage to fight. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, and many of them immediately dropped their heavy weapons and fled in panic.

"Don't run! Stop right there, my leader!" Li Yi's voice boomed like thunder amidst the chaos. His eyes were wide open as he glared at the soldiers who were trying to escape.

However, fear had already taken hold of the soldiers. They couldn't hear Li Yi's shouts at all and just ran desperately, trying to escape this land of death.

However, how can a human be faster than mechanical wings?

Despite the soldiers' best efforts, their legs pounding the ground like drumsticks, their speed appeared to the drone as nothing more than a slow-motion replay.

Like messengers of death, drones silently tracked down every soldier trying to escape, launching deadly attacks with pinpoint accuracy.

Some of the fleeing Fireseed warriors were being chased by several drones at the same time.

Even some soldiers who ran fast and managed to hide inside buildings could not escape the drones' pursuit.

Unbeknownst to them, from the very beginning, each of them was targeted by one or even two drones, and the system's command to them was "to completely destroy the target at all costs."

In less than a minute, all 5,000-plus Fire Seed warriors, whom Li Yi considered his pride and strength, fell to the fierce attack of the drone swarm.

The square was now littered with corpses and pools of blood, the air thick with the stench of blood and an atmosphere of despair.

Li Yi's face was gloomy. He couldn't believe that he had been defeated like this.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, and the pain briefly pulled him out of his shock and despair.

"It's over, it's over, leader, should we just surrender to them?" A "personal secretary" next to Li Yi suggested in a trembling voice. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

“Yes, surrender! We are women. In this extremely cold apocalypse, women, especially beautiful women, are a kind of wealth. They won’t kill us.” Another “life secretary” heard this and her eyes lit up. She quickly echoed, her voice trembling with tears. She was clearly terrified by the brutal battle.

The other "life secretaries" also felt they saw hope and nodded in agreement.

They served as Li Yi's "life secretaries" only to live a better life. Now that Li Yi's power has waned, there is naturally no need for them to die with him.

Almost instantly, an even bolder idea came to them: to tie up Li Yi and offer him as a pledge of allegiance to the rebels, perhaps even turning misfortune into good fortune and gaining benefits from it.

The moment this idea arose in their minds, it quickly took root and sprouted, and the eyes of the eight "life secretaries" began to gleam with greed and determination.

They exchanged a glance, and without a word, they tacitly began their actions.

This room is located on a giant ice sculpture hand far from the ground, and besides Li Yi, there are only the eight of their most favored "life secretaries".

Previously, Li Yi was very powerful, and they had no choice but to obey him.
