Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Lift your head, welcome back...
The mecha's guns suddenly opened fire.
Pulling the swarms of insects and strange beasts in the polluted tide.
The entire sacred territory sounded the alarm, and the tribesmen, who could be fully accommodated in several large starships, began to act quickly in response.
Many mechas flew out from the starship entrance and exit of the sacred territory to meet the attack.
“There are too many.”
A member of the Holy Territory Council spoke quickly.
"This is not the number of alien beasts that a normal pollution tide can carry."
"It should have been expected. How could a wolf that eats the sheep really abide by the agreement with the sheep?"
"Have you determined the locations of those people?"
Lai Qing spoke quickly.
"We have sent people to look for it, but the news we received is that it has not been found yet..."
There was a moment of silence in the spaceship, which was both their temporary home and their means of attack.
In fact, the entire Holy Territory has not received relevant news yet. It was only just confirmed in the Parliament that the three strangers who suddenly appeared seemed to be from their distant hometown of Saint Cass, and seemed to be the owners of the crown that their ancestors had been pursuing.
Everything seems like a dream, and I don’t know whether this dream has been burst.
Or was it all accidentally misplaced, and they didn't even have time to say a word, and then it just got lost like that?
But the current situation did not allow Lai Qing to think too much.
"Further blockade. If the alien beasts break through the first blockade, then organize all the equipment and facilities. If they break through the second blockade, close the hatch until the alien beasts reach the third blockade and leave according to the planned route. All mecha teams provide cover!"
"yes!"
At the same time, in the Eastern Alliance not far away from this interstellar world.
The pollution tide is still very loud.
Shi He, the chairman of the Eastern Alliance, had just met with the Eastern Alliance members who were going to participate in the warm-up match when he suddenly received this news.
"Something bad has happened."
Shi He frowned.
"The Holy Territory must be quite exhausted now. I don't think it can withstand this wave of pollution."
"Chairman, what should we do? We have given the Holy Territory many suggestions before, but they have not adopted them. Although I appreciate their spirit of resistance, it is very likely that our precarious alliance will be ruined."
"Yes, Chairman, I suggest that we should not interfere too much in the affairs of the sacred territory, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Of course I know that, but you have to understand that without the Holy Territory, there will be almost no resistance in this galaxy. No matter how long we hold on, it will be useless. Let's put it this way. The mecha teams in the alliance are ready. Now I have to go back to my office and communicate with Lai Qing, the Speaker of the Holy Territory."
Shi He pursed his lips tightly.
"This must not be a natural tide. This is a conspiracy against the sacred realm."
Of course, you can tell the truth by just looking at this kind of thing.
Hiding deep in the pollution, a pair of pupils composed of countless protruding black compound eyes are flickering slightly——
The senior commander of the insect-type monsters, Shanhuo, controlled a nearby insect army and launched an attack on the sacred territory with the tide of pollution.
He shared the vision of all the insects connected by his mental power, making it impossible to tell where his line of sight was directed.
Watching the Holy Territory's embarrassing attack, even their starships had to react.
Although it was just a small army of alien beasts in Shanhuo's opinion that was not enough to destroy their race, it was enough to give the Holy Territory, which was already extremely exhausted and had no manpower replenished, a hard time.
"That's all."
What needs attention mentally?
What they said was so scary.
Do you really think he evolved because he was scared?
Flashfire watched all this, as if he was seeing a foreseeable ending. Finally, he lost interest and turned away.
Anyway, as long as it can bring an impact to the sacred territory, it will be enough.
By then, they will be able to feast on the flesh and blood of the inhabitants of the Holy Territory, as well as the young man he has set his sights on.
Shanhuo stuck out his pointed tongue, which was like a mosquito's mouthparts, and swallowed the saliva produced by the fragrant flesh and blood.
Not yet - Flash Fire.
Shanhuo thought so in his heart, and there was countless excitement in his countless compound eyes.
It is enough to use some tricks behind the scenes, but other things are not allowed. If you are too high-profile and are not willing to maintain even the superficial work, the 'sheep flock' will be scared and flee in panic. By then, the 'sheep flock' will have no ability to reproduce and move, and will face the dilemma of hunger.
Although they have no emotions, these high-level commanders of alien beasts who have eaten countless people know very well what to do with captive food.
But the total rout and panic escape of the Holy Land did not come.
Behind Yu Ye, mechas belonging to the sacred territory flew out, and more and more mechas joined the conversation channel.
The long guns on Yuye's mecha were aimed at the translucent wings of the Zerg monster in the distance.
"Go to hell—"
He gritted his teeth and pressed the button.
The guns roared out, hitting the target accurately, and then the flames exploded into a continuous piece.
At this moment, the conversation channel in the Holy Territory was in an uproar.
“Well done!”
"Who hit it? Really good!"
"What is this weapon? It's so powerful—"
"It seems to be Yuye? Where did you go to practice? Did your mental strength increase?"
"No--"
Yu Ye was also stunned, or rather, his excitement at his precise hit only lasted for a second.
"I just fired the most ordinary shells. It shouldn't have been this powerful—"
unless……
unless--
boom--
This time, don't wait for them to speak again.
Another group of strange beasts exploded. The shells they fired were like fuses. Wherever they shot, the beasts would connect together, as if someone was following them like a shadow.
This time, not only Yu Ye realized it, but other people in the Holy Territory also realized it.
What is that?
——How can it be so powerful?
"Looking closely, it seems to be an arrow flying close to our artillery shells?"
Arrows... ?
"Hello."
Suddenly, there was a light knocking sound next to the mecha cover.
Tap gently, one by one.
A gentle, soft voice with a hint of childishness at the end fell into my ears.
"Do you know Saint Cass?"
Yu Ye turned his head suddenly.
The first thing that caught my eye was the snow-white wings.
Behind him was a group of strange beasts rushing over with the tide of pollution.
The pollution tide as a force itself has no color. It will only destroy all life except for the strange beasts wherever it goes, turning the whole world into black, white and gray.
The Zerg monsters that came with the pollution tide were so dark and massive that they really looked like surging waves, making the clear sky look like it was about to rain.
No, it is raining now.
Behind the snow-white wings, there was a dark mass, and a faint light rushed into it, like lightning and thunder rolling in the dark clouds, rumbling together, and then as their shells exploded, the sky suddenly became bright, and then countless corpses and fragments of Zerg beasts fell down with crackling sounds.
And in front of him, a golden crown was floating quietly above Chu Zao's head, which had landed on his mecha at some point in time.
Xiao Chuzao didn't even glance at the battlefield behind him which seemed to be erupting with heat waves and smoke.
Because not far behind him, another person stood tall and graceful, with wings flapping behind him. The metal buttons on his black military uniform seemed to reflect the firelight in the sky, and the silver-black crown was also floating quietly -
Finny slowly pulled the arrow, and light suddenly gathered in his hands and on the crown.
Just one person seemed to have blocked the surging tide of strange beasts.
He was even at ease and would look back in Chu Zao's direction from time to time.
Chao Huangmu's mental power was not yet controllable enough, so he was not able to fly up directly like the Crown Clan, but his mental power was strong enough. He raised his mental power gun and shot at the sky from the ground - he smiled, and accurately found one insect after another that had escaped the net in the billowing smoke and dust.
Chu Zao seemed to have searched around before finally finding someone who looked familiar.
Seeing that Yu Ye remained silent, and the surrounding Holy Territory mechas seemed to be a little abnormal, as if confirming some of his guesses, he asked again.
"Or, are you from Sancas?"
All the members of the Holy Territory were totally unprepared to see this scene, and they all stood there in a daze.
"us--"
Yu Ye was stunned for a moment, his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't speak.
But soon, the screen of his mecha was automatically connected.
That is Speaker Lai Qing.
Lai Qing had already stood up. He took off his military cap and lowered his eyes.
Seems very ashamed.
"Saint Cass - the First Army Vanguard Corps, the Ninth Corps, and the Tenth Corps report to you - our troops have been here for a thousand years, and the intelligence is as follows..."
In an instant, many subtle feelings connected.
It's really Saint Cass——
Chu Zao looked at the mechas in the Holy Territory. They all had scars to varying degrees. The same was true for the starships, which were covered with traces of being hit by meteorites and strange beasts.
Although I admired their rebellious spirit before, I thought it was a territory that could be cooperated with.
But there isn't much else to it.
Until now——
Xiao Chuzao understood a little bit now. How did it feel when Amos picked up the wounded him and raised him up bit by bit?
Who is bullying my family?
The crown on the little crown clan’s head was bright, and the pupils of its eyes also lit up slightly.
Finney also turned his head to look over here.
Chu Zao heard his uncle let out a light "tsk" sound, seeming to be very annoyed.
Of course, when the Crown Clan goes out to deal with the alien beast army, they mostly stay with the Saint Cass people.
Seeing the Saint Cass people here being tossed around in such a miserable state, it was naturally very unpleasant.
Chu Zao listened quietly to Lai Qing's report.
"The above is the relevant information we have obtained here. We only know the preliminary information of several high-level alien beast commanders. The others have not been discovered yet, and we are powerless to save the current situation. I'm sorry... Your Highness, we failed to complete the mission, and... I don't know which Your Highness you are?"
Lai Qing lowered his head.
The councillors standing next to Lai Qing also lowered their heads.
They all had scars on their bodies to varying degrees, and many of them had old injuries that had not yet healed. There were even lawmakers sitting in wheelchairs and unable to stand up anymore.
They were just thinking about how to test it out again to see if it was Saint Cass without being so embarrassed.
But I didn't expect that Chu Zao was the first to speak.
Such an embarrassing scene made them nervous and at a loss as to what to do.
but--
"What are you talking about?"
Chu Zao spoke.
"The mission of the First Army from the very beginning was to cover the evacuation of the inhabitants of the planet Saint Cass that was about to be polluted and occupied—"
"You have completed your mission and done it well."
"Chuzao Dwight."
Chu Zao spoke softly.
"My father is Amos Dwight, the current king of Saint Cass. Next to him is my third uncle, Finny Dwight. We were exploring the barrier and observing the interstellar space here, but we accidentally came here because of space fluctuations."
So this is——the little prince?
Lai Qing was slightly stunned.
How strange.
Such a sound——
It makes people unconsciously feel a strange feeling when it falls on their ears.
It’s their hometown…it’s the faith they’ve been pursuing…
“Woo——”
who?
Whose voice is that?
Lai Qing was a little confused for a moment.
He could see some of the congressmen around him crying on the command panel, while others couldn't help crying quietly.
The councillors, men and women, young and old, who were usually resolute and serious in order to protect the existence of the sacred territory, now hung their heads.
Lai Qing even felt that there were double images in front of his eyes, and there were splashes of water on the display screen.
It’s too long. Considering the human lifespan, all this waiting is really too long.
They don't know how many generations they have been waiting.
The countries and alliances around them have changed one after another, and these people have lost their knowledge and history of the past, so they feel particularly out of place as they are always thinking about the sacred territory of their hometown.
Yu Ye also opened his eyes wide. This seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
Not just an affirmation of the faith they hold, but also that kind of - tenderness.
The gentleness of the Crown Clan that the people of Sancas can experience.
Yu Ye wanted to say something, but was shocked by the scene on the screen and spoke instinctively.
"Your Highness—be careful!"
In the billowing flames, a strange beast that seemed to be a legion commander of the Zerg rushed out, with flames burning on its body, and was rushing towards Chu Zao who had his back to him.
Yuye shouted out instinctively.
But Chu Zao didn't even turn his head.
“Hey, hey, hey—”
Finney's sinister voice sounded.
The strange beast was instinctively frightened and subconsciously turned its head.
An arrow hit his head.
Flying high in the sky with flapping wings, Finny lowered his eyes, his scarlet pupils bright.
"Where are you looking?"
And who are you targeting?
Could it be his child?
No way, no way, no way?
ah?
Then, at that moment, the light in Finny's hand suddenly lit up.
"My dad once told us not to interrupt others when they are talking. Didn't your dad teach us that? How rude of you."
Chu Zao didn't even turn his head, he didn't even take out his weapon -
After all, such a tide of exotic beasts is too easy for the Crown Clan to deal with.
If Finny can't handle it, Zao Zao feels that she should write it down in her little notebook - this kind of uncle really needs some training.
But after saying this, the little crown clan seemed stunned for a moment.
I made myself laugh.
"Oh, I forgot. You seem to have no parents."
Flashfire, who had already left this place, realized something. He was stunned for a moment and once again established a shared vision with the Zerg that was attacking the sacred territory.
He suddenly froze and his body stopped abruptly.
There was a sea of fire before my eyes, and then everything suddenly went out and became quiet, with only a faint light forming a vague pattern of flashing fire.
What is that?
He seemed to hear a sneer.
The feeling of oppression that he had never felt before swept over him - and the intense pain was also transmitted, causing Shanhuo to curl up uncontrollably.
The next moment, his vision completely disappeared.
Flashfire was so startled that he turned back suddenly. He had already fled far away instinctively. He looked towards the sacred territory and opened his eyes wide.
"What on earth is that--?"
He whispered softly.
"No, it should be - it should be their starship weapons?"
Want to convince myself.
But before he could convince himself, he wiped his forehead - and felt a cold sweat breaking out.
Is there something going on in the sacred territory?
Is it something that needs special attention?
But they shouldn't be - they're just some guys who are still alive.
I don't know if he was comforting himself or trying to convince himself that there was no life in this galaxy that could pose a threat to him.
Shanhuo finally turned around and left, but his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
At the same time, in another galaxy.
"His Majesty!"
The commander of the Ninth Army was ready to report the situation to Amos.
"Relevant preparations are complete, and the advance team has been assembled. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."
Amos looked at the gap in the barrier, and then at the contaminated area behind the barrier where he couldn't tell what was going on. His eyes were heavy, and he finally spoke - the bright red flag of Saint Cass was flying, the emblems of the Ninth and Tenth Armies were flashing on the starship, and the barrier seemed to begin playing ancient music.
Listen to the orders given by His Majesty Saint Cass.
"Set off."
"yes!"
Here, Saint Cass's team is ready to set off.
Two days have passed since Xiao Chuzao disappeared.
Other places have basically not received any related news.
Only on a small planet.
A girl in a long robe sat on a high place.
There was a plate in front of her with a few candies on it.
“Well, these are good.”
After tasting the holy flower, he muttered softly and turned to look at his younger brother.
"Let the factory focus on producing these types."
"Okay, Boss."
After giving her instructions, Shenghua stood up, took two steps forward, and let out a long breath.
Thinking about my current situation.
Finally - finally -
Shenghua raised her hand, pressed her fingers on the glass, and seemed to smile gently.
She was finally going to see what was behind this mysterious organization.
That's when it happened.
"Hello--"
Shenghua was startled and turned to look at the young man who had appeared in the room at some point.
"Xi, could you please not be so silent when you show up? At least make some noise for me."
"oh--"
Xi still looked half-dead. He responded casually, then reached out his hand carelessly and knocked lightly on the wall next to him.
"Is this kind of movement okay?"
Shenghua didn't want to say anything about this.
She turned and walked out.
"I have things to do here, so I don't have time to chat with you."
"When you need supplies, you have plenty of time to spare."
Xi couldn't help but mutter something, but still turned sideways to block Shenghua's steps.
Shenghua looked up.
The face shrouded in the robe looked even more beautiful, and she raised her eyelids.
"What?"
Xi tilted his head, seemed to be looking elsewhere, and spoke casually.
"Have you always been paying attention to Saint Cass?"
Although Xi didn't know what kind of concern Shenghua had for Shengcas, he knew one thing.
Holy Flower did react strongly to Saint Cass, especially to the Crown Clan.
Of course, Shenghua usually disguises herself very well, and most people can't see any clues at all, but after spending such a long time with Shenghua, Xi has some understanding of what Shenghua is like and can judge her emotions.
Holy Flower paused.
"What are you talking about?"
She spoke without changing her expression.
"Something seems to have gone wrong in Sancas. It's very tense over there. Of course, I just mentioned it to you casually."
Xi spoke casually, glancing down at the time.
"I have things to do, so I'm leaving."
Xi is still the same person who does what he wants without waiting for others to reply.
Shenghua stayed there for a few seconds - it seemed like something happened to Shengcas?
What could happen?
She remained expressionless - at least nothing happened to her little prince, right?
*
And the other side of the star.
It all ended quickly.
Such a tide of strange beasts is extremely deadly to the sacred territory, but it is too common for the Crown Clan in its prime.
When Chu Zao and Finny landed, Speaker Lai Qing and others had already gotten off the spaceship and were standing in the open space, looking at them - they stretched out their hands and saluted in a somewhat awkward manner.
Then I heard the little prince speak.
"Why didn't you call yourself Saint Cass from the beginning?"
This caused some misunderstandings on both sides.
"us--"
Lai Qing curled up his fingertips unnaturally, wanting to say something else.
But this time, Chu Zao didn't wait for him to finish speaking and interrupted him.
"Chairman Lai Qing, please raise your heads."
Lai Qing was stunned. He looked up and saw the golden crown that was glowing slightly. Under the crown, Chu Zao still looked a little immature, but he seemed to have understood.
They heard Chu Zao say: "I salute you for continuing the First Army's perseverance and persistence, and - the mission is successfully completed. Welcome back to Saint Cass."
Please call out Saint Cass's name openly.
Welcome home.
The reason why a hometown is a hometown is not because of whether you deserve it or not, or whether you have disgraced the name of your hometown.
But their hometown will really come to them when they try their best to reach out and touch it.
