Xiaoman gently patted Dudu's back and said softly, "Cry, it'll make you feel better."

Dudu's emotions have stabilized a bit.

A bitter look flashed in Xiaoman's eyes. "Sister, let me tell you a story! A long, long time ago, in a place called Dafeng Mountain, lived a happy family of four."

However, their good fortune didn't last long. They were framed by an unscrupulous contractor; the father was beaten to death, and the mother, unable to bear the shock, suffered a mental breakdown and fell off a cliff, dying as well.

Xiaoman hugged Dudu tightly, tears streaming down her face, her fists clenched.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Dudu slowly pushed her away and asked, choking back tears, "Then, what happened to those two children?"

Xiaoman's mind was filled with images of her parents and Li Tianyi, and her expression grew even more bitter. Composing herself, she continued, "The boy avenged his parents and became a legendary hero. The girl, however, was stranded far from home, unable to find her way back. How, how much she longed to see her brother again!"

Dudu paused for a moment, then realized something, her heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked, "That little girl, was it you, sis?"

Xiaoman smiled wryly and nodded.

She hugged her tightly and burst into tears, "Sister, I never knew you were suffering even more than I was, and yet I was so willful, needing your comfort. Looking back now, that was like rubbing salt into your wounds. Yes, I'm so sorry! Sister, I'm so sorry! Waaah..."

Xiaoman took a deep breath of the cold air and suddenly felt her heart wasn't hurting so much. She wiped away Dudu's tears and forced a smile, "Silly girl, you're my sister. No matter what you do, I'll support you unconditionally."

Exhaling a large breath of stale air, my body and mind immediately felt relaxed.

Xiaoman hadn't felt this way in many years, and she was enjoying this long-lost tranquility.

Dudu looked at her and made an important decision in her heart.

Ugh, spit it out!

A drop of milky white liquid floated in the air, and Dudu muttered: "My life essence has been divided in two, and from now on, the two will share one life. If one dies, the other will surely follow."

The essence and blood were injected into the space between the two men's eyebrows.

A feeling of blood kinship spread through their bodies.

"sister!"

"sister!"

The two laughed and looked at each other, their eyes almost simultaneously falling on Dongula.

"Take him and go back!" Xiaoman's smile vanished, instantly turning frosty.

"Okay, sis!" Dudu used vines to suspend her in the air and walked towards the exit of the secret passage...

On the other side.

The furball could already see the fleeing beast in the distance and immediately sped up.

The distance between us is shrinking.

The beastly figure turned its head to look behind it, a venomous glint in its eyes, and accelerated again to create distance.

"Stop!" Maoqiu unleashed two sword beams.

Clang, bang!

The beast-like figure was nearly knocked over by the sword energy. Just as it regained its footing, the nimble sword light was already upon it, so it had no choice but to dodge.

Although the attack was forced back, there was no chance of escape. Enraged, he shouted, "Are you really going to fight to the death?"

Maoqiu answered him with the edge of a sword.

The two sides clashed fiercely. The beast shadow was suppressed by the sword intent everywhere, feeling extremely frustrated, but unable to think of a way to counter it.

After three moves, the remaining sword intent within his body converged, transforming into a sharp sword that slashed directly at his soul.

"No, don't..."

The more terrified he became, the less he could unleash his full power. With a furry ball outside firing at full force, saving himself was impossible.

In desperation, he had no choice but to sacrifice part of his body.

Boom!

Most of its body exploded, leaving only a mangled beastly shadow less than half a meter long. "Today's grudge will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

The beast's shadow fled rapidly into the distance.

Did I let you leave?

The fluffy ball dodged twice, caught up, and slashed straight at his brow with its longsword.

It came too fast, too suddenly. The beast had just assumed a dodge stance when it was pierced between the eyebrows, and its primal force instantly froze.

The body gradually becomes dull and may dissipate at any time.

"If you dare kill me, my tribe will not let you get away with it, ha ha ha..."

The beast's shadow vanished completely, but the maniacal laughter lingered, sending chills down one's spine.

"Bring it on!" The furry ball sheathed its longsword, scanning the sky. "I will slaughter you all, exterminate you all!"

......

Sky, battle zone.

Looking at the fierce battle, Vagraf's expression turned grave. "How much longer until our main force arrives?"

"We just received word that the forces from Fiery Mars will arrive within three minutes at most!" the communications officer said.

With a sense of relief, he grabbed the communicator and said, "General Askar, there's no need to come to our combat zone. Turn the course seven degrees to the left and cut off their retreat!"

"Good!" Askar nodded in satisfaction. "Full speed ahead!"

The warship formation was at maximum speed and arrived almost a minute earlier than expected.

"Spread out your formation!" Askar paused for a moment. "Bai Cang, take your troops and attack from the west, cooperating with Vagolav to annihilate the enemy!"

"Yes, General!"

A dense swarm of fighter jets flew toward the enemy ranks.

call out!

Whoosh...

Rumble!

Enemy planes kept exploding, and the forward commander was in a panic, so he quickly mobilized elite squadrons to resist the attack.

It was just a drop in the ocean; it couldn't even hold them off for ten seconds.

"Let's take them down in one fell swoop!" Bai Canghan said coldly, charging ahead.

Lasers filled the sky, and explosions continued.

The enemy panicked completely and fled in all directions.

Meanwhile, the prison army was closing in, leaving them with nowhere to retreat but to fight on.

Under attack from multiple sides, the vanguard was completely wiped out.

Both the Flame Mars fighter group and the Prison fighter group remained stationary, eyeing each other menacingly.

A few seconds later, Bai Cang shouted, "Kill them!"

As soon as they moved, the prison army rushed in.

The two sides exchanged fierce fire, with fighter jets constantly exploding.

The sky was ablaze with the flames of the explosion.

This was exactly the outcome Chipingmera wanted to see. A sly smile crept across his lips. "Let our people avoid them as much as possible and let them fight amongst themselves!"

"Yes, General!" The confidant turned around, glancing back several times as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What is it? Speak!" Chipingmela had a vague, uneasy feeling.

"The Emperor, the Empire, is finished!" The confidant pointed to the tallest building on Martial Star. "Look, even the flags have been changed!"

Chipingmera's mind was buzzing, and he saw stars before his eyes. He almost fell, but managed to steady himself against the alloy wall. "Withdraw your forces and prepare to break out!"

"That's the only way!"

The order was given, and the fighter jets returned to their positions, breaking through towards the direction of Emerald Wood Heart.

However, they were met with fierce resistance from the Martian centaurs.

It took the cost of thousands of fighter jets to break through the encirclement.

Chipingmera let out a long breath, feeling much relieved. "Prepare to travel at the speed of light and leave the Crimson Tide Starfield!"

“Alright. But General, we need a rendezvous point, don’t we?” His confidant looked at him.

After a moment of contemplation, he decided, "Let's first get out of the Chihun Dynasty's sphere of influence and gather in the no-man's-land."

"Yes, sir!"

Chipinmeila turned to look at her homeland where she had lived for many years, shook her head with a bitter smile, and said, "I don't know if I'll ever be able to come back after leaving. Sigh!"

Two minutes later.

All main and auxiliary ships are initiating light-speed travel.

Suddenly, a red beam of light with a radius of three kilometers fell from the sky.

hiss, boom...

The massive explosion instantly took away two of the secondary flagships.

"Shield! Shield!"

"The impact was too great; it cannot be opened."

"It's over, it's over!"

Chipinmeira was calmer than ever before, pulling aside the control officer and manually typing in commands.

A protective shield rose rapidly.

The aftershocks arrived at this moment; the protective shield blocked the impact, but some cracks appeared.

"Let's get going!"

The pilot immediately returned to his position and took control of the main ship to escape.

Suddenly, a group of silver fighter jets appeared from the right slant.

"Oh no, it's the elite fighter squadron from Crimson Mercury!" The pilot slumped helplessly into his chair.

"If we take a gamble, there's still a chance of survival; if we just sit here, we'll only be waiting to die!"

"Yes, let's give it our all!"

With renewed hope, everyone returned to their positions and took control of the main ship.

At the same time, the hatch opened, and tens of thousands of fighter jets rushed towards the silver fighter jet.

"kill!"

"Kill them!"

Whoosh!

Boom, rumble...

Explosions were happening all over the sky, and the flying debris from the fighter jets detonated other aircraft, turning the surrounding area a fiery red.

Storm and Shock appeared with two main ships.

The tide of battle turned instantly, and the number of rebel warplanes was decreasing at a visible rate.

Chipinmeira sighed, "Looks like I'm going to die here today." He suddenly stood up, his eyes turning fierce, "Even if I die, I'll take Storm, that traitor, with me."

He shot and killed the pilot, then personally took control of the warship, crashing it into the warship where Storm was located.

"Intercept! Intercept!"

The blast was too far from his father to be intercepted by concentrated firepower.

Storm remained calm. "All firepower, lock onto it, and fire!"

Red, yellow, green, and white beams of light fell on Chipinmera's warship, causing the cracks in the protective shield to widen and shatter at any moment.

"I told you, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

The warships rushed forward like arrows released from a bow.

Bao Zhen panicked and shouted anxiously, "Focused weapon, quick, quick!"

The energy-concentrating weapon required a lot of time to be deployed, so his men didn't execute it and instead launched a frenzied attack with instant-fire weapons.

Meanwhile, silver fighter jets also rushed to the rescue from multiple directions.

The sky was filled with all kinds of instantaneous lasers and rays. The enemy's main ship was already on fire, and self-destruction was only a matter of time.

Qipingmera laughed maniacally, "The more you try to stop him, the more important he is. Dying with him is not a loss, not a loss at all!"

The warship was still accelerating, less than three kilometers away from the Emerald Mercury flagship.

The various fighter jet formations and another main ship are making every effort to intercept them.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Boom! Boom!

The enemy's main ship was successfully intercepted less than a kilometer away, and multiple fires broke out.

Qipingmila shook her head with a wry smile, pulled out the necklace, plugged a USB drive inside into the special communicator, and pressed the button.

At the same time, explosions began to occur on the outer layer of the main ship, and the aftershocks caused nearby fighter jets to drift away into the distance.

Just as they stepped back, an invisible message was sent out.

The message pierced through the void and landed on a desolate, lifeless, and cold planet.

Suddenly, a sleeping shadow opened its eyes...
