Chapter 123 The Vermilion Bird Star is Invaded

Despite everyone holding out all night, the Void Beast broke through the encirclement and rushed into the city, heading towards every corner of Vermilion Bird Star.

Fortunately, reinforcements kept arriving; otherwise, the entire Vermilion Bird Star would have been turned into a living hell.

"Brother Chen, have you made contact with the big boss yet?" Xu Zhou asked, as he and Wang Duan were in a mecha.

Chen Kaiyang was in another mech. "The big boss replied to my message. He said he's on his way back to Suzaku Star."

"What about us? What should we do now?" Xu Zhou was an ordinary person, and seeing so many void beasts terrified him to the core. He wanted to leave Vermilion Bird Star with the others, but Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan were in no hurry to leave.

First, they sent their parents to the starship, and then they piloted mechs to pick up other relatives, friends, and even strangers. They would lend a hand to anyone they could.

Sure enough, after he asked the question, Chen Kaiyang said, "No rush. Before the Void Beasts arrive, let's send some more people to the Starport."

"Xu Zhou, don't be afraid. Although your brothers aren't good at fighting, they are good at escaping. Once we see a Void Beast, your brothers will take you away immediately." Wang Duan patted Xu Zhou's shoulder to comfort him.

Xu Zhou's face immediately turned red when his fear was noticed. "I'm not that scared. If there's a powerful figure here, I can kill the Void Beasts with them."

“Then we’ll wait for the big boss to arrive before we leave,” Chen Kaiyang said.

Xu Zhou: "......."

I really want to take back what I just said.

On the other side, He Xingjue recalled the snow wolf that had fought all night into his mental sea, and he himself piloted his mecha away from the battlefield.

After the mecha landed, He Xingjue emerged from it. He put away the badly damaged white mecha and took out another top-tier mecha from his spatial storage. This mecha was one he and Li Ze had obtained from raiding space pirates in the Death Starfield.

Thinking of Li Ze, He Xingjue took some time to send him a message, telling him that Suzaku Star was in chaos and that he shouldn't come.

After sending the message, He Xingjue chuckled to himself, a gut feeling that Li Ze wouldn't listen to him.

After switching to a different mecha, He Xingjue returned to the battlefield.

At this time, the Void Beasts were wreaking havoc on Vermilion Bird Star, devouring humans, beasts, human food, plants, and even some metals.

His Majesty the Young King decreed, "No matter what, the Void Beasts must be kept within the territory of Vermilion Bird Star to prevent them from harming other planets."

After a night of effort, half of the residents of Suzaku Star have been evacuated. The other half should be able to be evacuated by the end of today.

He Xingjue did not continue guarding the exit. The area within a five-mile radius was teeming with Void Beasts, and there was not a single human left. Going in would only lead to certain death.

His current task is to cover the evacuation of the masses and deal with the Void Beasts that suddenly appear on the road.

"Help--"

An urgent voice suddenly rang out inside the mecha, startling He Xingjue. "Where are you?"

"Commander He, is it Commander He?" Zhou Yang asked excitedly.

"It's me, where are you?" He Xingjue asked again.

“At our family’s mecha manufacturing workshop. I’ll send you the location,” Zhou Yang said.

He Xingjue accepted the offer, saying, "Hold on a bit, I'll be right there."

Inside the workshop, Zhou Yang and his older brother Zhou Bai each piloted their own mechs, back to back, surrounded by dozens of void beasts.

“Brother, I’ve contacted Commander He. He’s nearby and will be here soon,” Zhou Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai said, "Yes, I heard you. I told you and your father to leave a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened; you've put yourself in danger."

"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been in even more danger, brother?" Zhou Yang complained as he fought. "It's just some information, is it worth risking your life to come all this way?"

“Worth it.” Zhou Bai swung his sword at the Void Beast opposite him, but another Void Beast took advantage of the opening and tackled him to the ground from the side.

Zhou Yang was startled and rushed to his rescue, but before he could get close, he was swatted away by the Void Beast's giant claw. The huge mecha crashed into the workshop wall, breaking the wall and causing the roof to collapse with a loud bang, pinning Zhou Yang down.

The two brothers are in imminent danger.

"Cough cough, brother, are you alright?" Zhou Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood, his internal organs shifting.

Zhou Yang didn't speak; the only response he received was the jarring sound of metal being torn apart.

"Brother!" Zhou Yang shouted, another mouthful of blood gushing from his mouth. He tried to move his body, but failed.

"Commander He, come quickly and save my brother!" Zhou Yang shouted.

"Alright!" He Xingjue replied, and before the mecha even arrived, the longsword in his hand flew out first.

Meanwhile, the spears continued to fire.

He Xingjue dealt with dozens of Void Beasts in ten minutes, rescuing the two Zhou brothers.

Zhou Bai's injuries were quite severe, so He Xingjue placed him in a treatment pod before going to dig out Zhou Yang from the rubble. Zhou Yang's mecha was badly damaged, almost beyond repair, but thankfully he was unharmed.

“Fortunately, our Zhou family has no shortage of mechs.” Zhou Yang took out another mech from the space button and carried the treatment pod inside. “I’ll take this treatment pod and give you a new one.”

Zhou Yang took out a new one and placed it in front of He Xingjue.

He Xingjue put it away and asked, "Where are you going now?"

"Where else can I go? I'll just follow you," Zhou Yang said matter-of-factly.

“I’ll take you to Star Harbor,” He Xingjue said.

"I couldn't ask for more," Zhou Yang said with a smile.

On the way to Star Harbor, He Xing made a series of intermittent efforts, killing over a hundred Void Beasts and saving several hundred people.

The more people there are, the more popular the place becomes, and the more void beasts it attracts.

He Xingjue, unable to fight against four opponents alone, had no choice but to release the snow wolf.

After escorting several hundred people to the starport, He Xingjue's mech was destroyed again, and Snow Wolf was also seriously injured.

However, upon arriving at the starport, the pressure on him did not lessen in the slightest, because the entire starport was surrounded by Void Beasts.

Unlike mechs, starships require a specific location to operate, and that location is a starport.

As countless people gathered at the Starport, the Void Beasts also arrived, drawn by the scent.

"Starport needs support. Soldiers in the vicinity, please come immediately," He Xingjue said in the channel.

"Commander He, how many Void Beasts are there at the Starport?" someone asked.

"I estimate it to be no less than 50,000."

"Okay, we're coming right now."

He Xingjue changed into another mech, carrying the heavily injured Snow Wolf, and struggled to protect the hundreds of people behind him.
