Feral Sentinels Obey Only Her
Chapter 417 Bloody Break Out
“State your name and identification number,” the sentry ordered her
Seeing the two rebels already behind him, Lyra remained silent.
“Hey, what’s p>
Finished
The guard sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat and call his teammates, but a gleaming dagger suddenly appeared from behind. A hand covered his mouth as the blade slit his throat without hesitation.
Hot blood sprayed outward, splattering straight onto Lyra.
She jolted in raw shock.
Then, she stared numbly down at herself.
The thick guard uniform hid every trace of the crimson liquid from sight.
Even so, she imagined each drop like molten magma seeping through fabric, scalding her skin.
Her mind replayed the ghastly sight: pale outer skin split open, dark–red–purple tissue underneath. Her eyelashes fluttered non–stop, her hands and feet growing weak and unsteady.
The rebels dragged the fallen guard aside in swift, practiced motions. Two others slipped silently into the sentry booth and eliminated the second Sentinel resting there, waiting for his late–night shift.
They disposed of the bodies with calm efficiency, as if they had performed this same work hundreds of times before.
One man wiped his blood–stained dagger against the crook of his arm, and the sharp steel glinted coldly
once more.
When Lyra continued staring blankly at the ground, someone gave her a light nudge.
When she snapped back to reality and lifted her head, they gestured for her to keep moving, no words spoken at any point.
Lyra glanced toward the silent booth, her legs stiff as she forced herself to follow.
Ahead, the group quickened their pace.
Lyra strained to keep up with the tall, broad–shouldered men.
She soon understood why they had hurried.
At the second checkpoint, the guard’s ear–comm crackled to life.
“Unknown hostile intruders inside Oversight Council. Detain any suspicious persons on sight p>
Only the guards wearing the comms could hear the alert. But the rebels trailing behind caught the sentry’s gaze locked firmly onto Lyra.

In the next instant, the two closest rebels lunged forward.
The checkpoint Sentinel flinched, then scrambled backward to call for backup.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group grabbed Lyra and bolted straight for the exit.
Sentinels responded to the booth’s distress call, rushing toward the disturbance.
Every lamp within Oversight Council snapped on at once, flooding the compound with harsh, daylight- bright illumination.
Lyra’s heart leaped into her throat at the wailing alarm.
Seeing how slowly she could run, one rebel summoned his spirit Animal and lifted her onto its broad back.
He then pulled rope from his pocket and bound her wrists and ankles tightly to secure her to the creature.
Lyra’s eyes went wide.
She understood being strapped on so she would not fall off mid–flight.
But why tie her hands and feet too?
Did they truly fear she would try to escape in the middle of all this chaos?
There was no time to dwell on the thought.
They crashed head–on into a squad of Sentinels rushing to cut them off.
Gunfire erupted immediately, no warnings exchanged.
Crouching low on the spirit animal’s back, Lyra trembled, curling her body inward to avoid stray fire.
The Oversight Council Sentinels fired at the intruders while casting confused glances at the bound, completely non–resisting figure riding the beast.
Screams suddenly rang out from behind them.
They turned and saw another group of unknown assailants arriving as reinforcements from outside.
It was plain for anyone to see who all this elaborate inside–and–outside coordination was meant to extract.
Leo bolted upright in bed when his subordinates reported that rebel infiltrators appeared to be abducting Lyra.
Every available agent of the Oversight Council mobilized at once.
Zev’s face drained of color as he sprinted toward the sounds of fighting.
A thicker of doubt had crossed his mind the moment the news reached him.
It was too sudden, riddled with odd inconsistencies. Yet he could not afford to stop and analyze it

The roar of combat ahead made his blood run cold; all he could think about was Lyra’s safety.
Patrolling Sentinels heard the alarms inside the compound and rushed over to join the fight.
Then–Boom!
A cloaked warship had crept silently to Core Prime’s orbit without detection. One single shot shattered the planet’s outer defensive shield.
The high–yield projectile tore straight through the broken barrier and slammed into a major building
below.
A massive explosion detonated. Shock–waves rippled outward, billowing clouds of white smoke.
Roaring red fire shot high into the sky, lighting up nearly half the night sky.
The entire planet was jolted awake from sleep, thrown into panic and stunned disbelief.
As if the chaos was not already catastrophic enough, the warship re–aimed its main cannons toward Red Castle, Core Prime’s most vital government complex.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Core Prime’s Sentinels reacted fast, launching combat cruisers to return fire.
While every pair of eyes locked onto the orbital battle, a small shuttle slipped through a rear access channel unseen, diving toward the planet’s surface.
Lyra witnessed the towering, destructive mushroom cloud rise into view.
The deafening blast left her temporarily deaf. She stared numbly as the huge cloud slowly dispersed across her field of vision.
Her mind went utterly blank.
How many people must have just died?
The rebels had already fought their way out of the Oversight Council with her. Now they were locked in brutal close–quarters combat against government Sentinels outside the compound walls.
