Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Zao Zao Wants a Hug
This is obviously not right, how can you make a passionate confession at this time???
But if we don’t take action now, do we have to wait for them all to react?
The team leader acted decisively, holding heavy weapons, and fired at that direction.
The others responded quickly. They had obviously worked together many times, and even when they were short of people, they cooperated well.
Various high-tech weapons are being developed in the interstellar space, but the overall quality of interstellar residents is also constantly improving, and various defense equipment is emerging in an endless stream. The territory of the Saint Cass Empire is too large, and although it cannot take care of all aspects, the protection of these miners has never been vague.
However, compared with the well-equipped Sancas team, this group of thieves does not have as many defensive weapons.
They basically have no fixed place to live. They just do something and then leave, stopping at another place until the next time. They steal minerals and other resources from weaker planets on the edge of the rich empire and sell them to other countries. These are all offensive actions, so they purchase some large-scale lethal weapons.
Especially these younger brothers, they were knocked down before they could even react to what was happening, and they could never get up again.
The new round of fighting started very quickly, so quickly that the little leader had not yet reacted to what was happening and why he suddenly had such a sick feeling, and he had to immediately start dealing with the artillery fire in front of him.
But they are many in number.
Even though the Saint Cass team had the upper hand at the beginning, they were still quickly suppressed.
It's just that the team leader is much more relaxed than before - because that inexplicable "two-way rush" is like a source of infection, spreading among the enemy.
During the brief exchange of fire, those holding large cannon firearms were basically "controlled" as soon as they raised their hands, and were eliminated by the team here.
For a moment, the enemy's "Fuck" and "I love you" were flying together, and the scene was quite beautiful.
With the help of such chaos, this small team managed to withstand the opponent's attack.
The actual exchange of fire did not last long, and there were not many usable shelters around. The people in the Saint Cass team also had to protect the tents behind them. They were the first to realize the problem. The little guy from the Imperial Star behind them seemed to have special mental powers!
Using vehicles and some living facilities, they managed to delay the enemy for more than ten minutes. At this point, no matter how confused or stupid the enemy was, they could still detect the clues.
This is not an infectious disease - it's clearly someone's doing something wrong!
"Go away, I'm here!"
The little leader kicked away the little brother who was laughing and confessing his love to him for who knows how many times, and angrily picked up the cannon barrel. This cannon barrel was really strange. Whoever was holding it would have to put it down with a silly grin before firing.
He was quite capable to be able to become a small leader. He sensed that someone was causing trouble, and for some reason these people were protecting the tent behind them. The small leader became extremely anxious at the moment.
He came here just to destroy this small team and make the residents of this planet have some perspective. He thought that with so many people besieging a small base and an interstellar disaster that could affect communications, this was something that could be accomplished quickly and with ease.
But I didn't expect that no one on the other side died.
There was even a hint of momentum that it was about to overwhelm them.
He took a deep breath, picked up the barrel, and moved quickly.
Little Chuzao was clinging to the door.
He was holding the small bow and arrow, his little body was a little shaky, and the originally golden little bow and arrow seemed to have lost its luster - Zaozao was so tired.
There were actually tears in the little cub's beautiful big eyes. He was afraid. Moreover, such high concentration and high intensity shooting had almost pushed the five-year-old cub to his limits both physically and mentally.
Not to mention that the opponent suddenly moved quickly, Xiao Chuzao couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all.
The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the tent.
"Beep beep...Grandpa Meilun..."
The cub's little body trembled suddenly, and his hand holding the small bow and arrow was shaking.
Papa said - he needs to rely more on himself.
But, but Zao Zao is a little scared.
There was no time to aim—
The little cub had no time to fire his mental arrow again.
The opponent's strongest handheld weapon had already been fired, and he could only stagger and fire, but it was obviously too slow.
And in the atmosphere above the Sancas Mineral Planet No. 78, a small starship was quietly suspended here.
Seeing Meilun, Kaman, who had left the battlefield directly, was observing.
He originally thought that he had already left the Crown Clan and there was no need to care about these things, but for some reason, he did not leave.
Kaman thought that before the arrival of the Saint Cass army, at least these miners would not be seriously harmed.
But things got out of his control from the beginning.
What do you mean by you love me and I love you? Are you all carrying guns and cannons, cursing and talking about love and peace?
And it feels weird.
Carman couldn't tell.
He had been feeling strange since just now.
The tall man huddled in the dark control room, the light on the screen reflected on his pale face, his fingers moving restlessly on the control panel.
This was a restlessness that he wasn't even aware of.
The nutrient solution bottle next to it had been opened. The man took a sip, slightly disliked the taste, and casually put it aside.
Above his head, a black light that looked even worse than the halo that Meren had before slowly emerged.
That can indeed only be regarded as a halo.
The shape of the crown on the halo had long disappeared, leaving only a thin layer that looked like it would break at any time.
New information came from the starship, from the leader of the thieves who Kaman had previously targeted and wanted to blow up.
This is an extremely cautious guy. His subordinates' power has been destroyed by Saint Cass many times, but he has never been caught. And because he is very good to his subordinates, his power will be quickly rebuilt after each destruction, and he hates Saint Cass more and more each time.
This man has always been on the wanted list of the Saint Cass Empire.
This was information asking about how things were going, and also that he had heard that he had made a lot of contributions recently and there was a celebratory banquet to be held on a wandering planet. This guy liked to win over subordinates and talents, and at this moment he finally relaxed his vigilance towards him and invited him to participate.
This guy was too cautious. This was the first time that Kaman caught him by the tail. Kaman laughed coldly.
In the past, Kaman would have looked down upon the idea of blowing these guys up to the sky - after all, the Crown Clan had too many enemies, and these guys were not even worth mentioning.
But his life has come to an end, and he doesn't want to die alone in some corner of the galaxy like the rest of his tribe.
He has left the Crown Clan. He is one of the "traitors" within the Crown Clan. He can't go back, and he doesn't really... want to go back.
Kaman directly selected the button to open the hatch.
In the universe, the physical fitness of the Crown Clan is enough to allow them to move freely.
He stood up and walked a few steps to the hatch. He raised his hands and opened them. A stream of mental power slowly gathered in his palms, and bit by bit it condensed into the prototype of a javelin. Then he remembered something and weakened his power. The mental power javelin in his hand suddenly dimmed and could not be seen clearly.
He lowered his eyes coldly, aimed his mental power, and threw the javelin in his hand at the moment the opponent's gun was fired.
"Mei Lun doesn't need it, but doesn't he have a strange cub with him?"
Carman muttered to himself.
"That cub should be needed."
Otherwise, this mining defense team would be seriously injured.
The mental power of the adult Crown Clan descended quickly, and little Chuzao also fired his last arrow in panic. The members of the Saint Cass mining team reacted and came to rescue.
The shell exploded in mid-air, and its power was offset a lot by the mental strength of the adult Crown Clan members.
Before the mental power of the adult crown clan members completely dissipated, a soft mental power crashed into Kaman's mental power.
Having closed the starship door again and sitting back in his chair, Kaman suddenly raised his eyes.
At the last moment when his mental power disappeared, he had a special feeling that he could not describe.
But his heart began to beat rapidly, and his pale cheeks suddenly turned a little red. He took a deep breath and covered his heart with his hands.
Dong——dongdong——
The speed is still accelerating.
It seemed to be telling him that there was something he had always dreamed of but could never get - and it was there!
What's happening?!
Kaman suddenly came back to his senses. Although the blast did not cause any casualties, it did open the door of the temporary residence. Kaman was about to take another look when a rapid alarm suddenly sounded from the starship.
Kaman subconsciously looked at the alarm - on the scanning device, a dark mass appeared at some point, like a dark cloud, bringing an extreme sense of oppression, and rapidly approaching the small light dot represented by the starship he was on.
He subconsciously wanted to curse out loud: "What the hell???"
That is - the warship from the star Saint Casti.
No, when did you arrive?
Is it worth so many starships to come and pick up a Melun who doesn't know why?
Carman didn't understand and was confused.
Kaman even thought seriously about whether these starships were here to capture him.
But not to that extent!!
Does it take an army to catch him? Amos can handle him alone!
Even someone as depressed as Carman couldn't help but feel anxious and panicked.
In particular, the starship's communicator rang twice, and suddenly the voice of the imperial army came: "Hello, Your Highness Kaman, this is the Ninth Army, I am Ye Ming, the commander of the Ninth Army, I greet you and convey His Majesty's words to you, His Majesty will arrive soon..."
grass!
The popularity of this old guy Mei Lun is on the rise!
Kaman quickly input the coordinates and left here. He had a gloomy face. As a "traitor", he had no intention of listening to the end. In fact, when he saw Melun and judged Melun's situation, he knew that Saint Cass would definitely send people and troops.
But I didn’t expect so many to come so soon, even Amos came in person!
Before Kaman could explore the strange feeling he had just had, he was frightened back by Amos.
The small starship sped away.
The commander of the Ninth Legion saw the coordinates where Kaman left and quickly reported it to his superiors.
Amos stared at Melen's signal point. Since Kaman himself didn't want to come back, it would be difficult to catch him back for further treatment.
Not to mention that Amos has more important things to do at the moment.
"Don't worry about him. Break through the atmosphere and descend quickly. Open the ship's hatch after breaking through the atmosphere."
The Ninth Army led by Amos arrived the fastest. Frey and Anya, several Crown Clan members who knew about the situation, were searching separately and were actually heading here, but they were a little slower and were temporarily transferred by Amos to perform other tasks, searching for the escaped starship of the Anthem Organization.
It’s coming soon...!
Xiao Chuzao's last mental arrow flew out, and he was so tired that he could hardly stand.
The blast was so powerful that the shield in front of it was suddenly blown away, and the cub sat on the ground in a mess.
So the little leader who was a little puzzled about the power of this shell seemed a little weak saw this scene -
The five-year-old cutie held a golden bow in his hand, blinked his watery eyes, and looked outside.
What's going on?
They looked at the little bow. Are you saying that the chaos just now was caused by such a little cub?
"broken!"
The team leader was hit by the explosion and felt a stuffy sensation in his chest, so he shouted.
He glanced at the people around him, asking them to protect the little guy and his still unconscious grandfather.
The previous doubts had long been eliminated, and no one doubted the little cub's identity as an enemy. After all, without this little guy, they would not have survived until now.
There is no ungrateful person in Saint Cass!
"What a strange spiritual power! Catch this little guy for me!"
The little leader stopped, his strong muscles bulged slightly, and he stared at Xiao Chuzao fiercely.
Xiao Chuzao shuddered slightly. He was already very tired.
He hesitated for a second between running inside to Grandpa Meilun and running outside.
The little guy wanted to climb up with his little bow and arrow in hand and wanted to hide aside.
The team leader and his men temporarily delayed the enemy's attack.
But because the cub was still young, he was already exhausted after being exposed, and he was easily seen through when using the small bow and arrow, so he was unable to perform well.
The mining defense team, which had briefly gained the upper hand, fell into a disadvantage again and was gradually surrounded by the group of thieves.
Wen Qingfeng and Wen Qingyu protected the little cub, but were also injured by the powerful attack and became somewhat helpless.
"Has the support not arrived yet?"
"We have run a long way. We can only hold on for another ten minutes."
In fact, they all knew very well that if the thieves failed to achieve their goal in these ten minutes, they would withdraw. This group of guys could not fight against the large force, so at this moment they just had to hold on - but every minute and every second was very difficult for such a small group of people, and they could only be regarded as a trained civilian organization, not uniformly trained soldiers.
Fortunately, after seeing Xiao Chuzao's mental power, these guys no longer used heavy weapons against the tent behind them.
But the little boss kept getting closer.
The wind of battle lifted up Xiao Chuzao's soft black hair. His little hands were shaking, and some of the scars were broken open, with blood faintly oozing out.
"Hahaha - even if the goal cannot be achieved, I should be able to get the job done by capturing you."
He used the giant cannon made of solid material as a close combat weapon. Wen Qingfeng stretched out his hand to stop him. His palm was in pain and numb from the shock.
He whispered: "Run back——"
And the little cub seized the opportunity - the halo above his head suddenly appeared, and the small bow and arrow in his hand became brighter, and his little wings were also released. One side of the little wings was still drooping pitifully. He pulled the bowstring, aimed at the opponent again, and shot.
Then he stumbled and fell.
The cub's round little face was covered in dust and blood, and it was translucent white, tender and adorable. He was shaking, but he still found an opportunity to attack, causing the other party to be confused for a moment.
The little leader saw Wen Qingfeng first. He was hit too many times by Xiao Chuzao's mental power. In fact, his whole mind was gradually confused, and he himself did not realize that his personality suddenly became radical and manic.
He just stared at Wen Qingfeng and thought - how could I be so rude to this young man who was so pleasing to the eye? Then he suddenly broke free from that feeling.
But the moment the little leader's strength loosened, Wen Qingfeng bent his knees and counterattacked, firing again, but was still blocked by defensive weapons.
But at this moment, whether it was Wen Qingfeng or the others, they were too busy to care about those things - they were looking at the crown halo that had lost some of its luster and turned a little gray.
What is that?
Halo?
Crown...halo? ?
"No, don't come over here!"
One could tell from his childish voice that he was forcing himself to speak.
The soft white little wings were ruffled and messy, and the cub's mental power was trembling and spreading around. It seemed that he was not as strong as imagined. His mental power was sobbing pitifully, trying to find a parent to rely on.
Inside the tent, Meilun's eyeballs were trembling under his tightly closed eyelids, and veins were bulging all over his body, but he still couldn't move.
Only the team of miners outside were holding back the cubs.
They haven't recovered from the shock yet.
I don't know who said that.
"Is it the Crown Clan? This crown..."
"Is it His Royal Highness from the Crown Family?"
"Are we protecting His Royal Highness of the Crown Family?"
"No, that's not right - it was the little prince who just protected us! It's like - it's like -"
Just like the Crown Clan saved them thousands of years ago.
His Highness the Crown Family could have ignored them.
But does the crown family have a little prince?
Of course, that doesn't matter.
Especially for the people of Sancas - the wish of countless young people of Sancas is to add luster to the crowns on the heads of His Majesty and His Highnesses.
Just like the Crown Clan has protected them for thousands of years, they also support this race that is like a time bomb after being polluted. For people from other empires and planets, the Crown Clan will sometimes talk some sense to you, even the tyrant Amos. However, most of the residents of the Saint Cass Empire, when facing the Crown Clan, will fall into paranoia and madness that other interstellar residents cannot understand.
Little Chuzao could no longer lift his bow and arrow. He looked up in a daze at the people who were blocking him.
Their temperaments had changed, and each of them was filled with annoyance and anger.
It's like turning on berserk mode.
"I didn't block it well just now... and caused His Highness to be injured..."
"I thought it was within the acceptable range, but..."
"Your Highness, please stay away—"
"Fight them!"
"hateful!!!"
The thieves were frightened by such momentum.
The little leader suddenly came back to his senses with bloodshot eyes, and his mental power was still in a very confused state - it seemed like love and peace, but in fact, Xiao Chuzao's mental power had dealt a serious blow to the little leader's mental power, causing it to become confused.
In this state, he seemed to have forgotten the terror of the Crown Family, and also forgot that they dared to cause trouble here only because the territory of the Saint Cass Empire was too large and the Crown Family could not manage every aspect. He just spoke angrily and manically.
"So what if he has a halo? Does it prove that he is from the Crown Clan? There are no other Crown Clan members here! Kill him! As long as we——"
Before little Chuzao could say anything, the mental power that the exhausted cub naturally emitted as if asking for help was responded to.
The little cub was slightly dazed, and a tear welled up in his eyes, which was wiped away by the little guy.
The little leader's words stopped abruptly halfway through his speech, before he even realized that there was something wrong with his mental strength.
The small leader seemed unafraid, but his subordinates were unsure.
"Boss, he really could be a member of the Crown Clan—he'll cause trouble, and their backup is coming soon, should we…?"
A few drops of blood splashed out and fell to the ground, and all the sounds stopped -
The little leader froze in place, the huge gun barrel in his hand fell down with a thud, and then the burly man opened his eyes wide, blood slowly flowing down from the pierced forehead -
I don’t know when, or maybe it was just now.
Someone came behind the little leader.
The spiritual sword in his hand emitting a dim glow pierced through the back of his head. He came too fast and moved too quickly. In just a few seconds, he didn't even have time to finish his words. Everyone was suddenly shocked.
With a very light sound, the sword was pulled out, and blood dripped down bit by bit.
The thick black eyelashes were lifted, revealing a pair of calm and scarlet eyes. The silver-black crown that suddenly appeared on the head was intricate and gorgeous.
Amos was looking at Xiao Chuzao. He should be familiar with him. On the way here, he had watched that video dozens of times.
But the cub looked much more miserable than it did back then, with exhausted mental strength, messy wounds on its body, a pale and pitiful little face, a little halo that looked much dimmer, and most importantly - its little wings that were obviously drooping.
Amos's snow-white wings suddenly spread out behind him, his mental power became angry, and a feeling of oppression came immediately. These guys couldn't bear it and suddenly fell to the ground.
They breathed in panic and occasionally saw the sky.
"What?"
"Heaven, the sky——"
The distant sky.
Dark dots slowly appeared.
Blocking the light above, the densely packed black dots looked like a swarm of bees, approaching rapidly.
The crown emblem of the Dwight family of the Crown Clan is branded on the bodies of these giant mechanical beasts, and in the center of the emblem is written a huge "Nine" in the ancient language of Saint Cass.
——The entire Ninth Army of the Saint Cass Empire was dispatched.
The huge warships violated the landing rules and formed a dark mass that blocked out the sky. Countless weapons were aimed at them. If they made any move, they would be shot into sieves in the next second.
Against such a black background, only Amos’s scarlet eyes were slightly lit, revealing the anger in his heart.
what happened?
It happened too quickly. After the army of the Saint Cass Empire arrived, or rather, after Amos arrived, everything ended too quickly. There was no room for resistance. They still haven't understood and reacted until now - the Crown Family?
Are they really the Crown Clan?
Amos let go, and the spiritual sword disappeared in his hand. He took three or two steps closer to Xiao Chuzao, blocking the little guy's view of the blood.
He squatted down, looked at the cub at eye level, and opened his mouth. Amos wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Everything seemed pale and Amos couldn't tell what the little cub was feeling at the moment.
Amos was a little uncomfortable with the little guy's transformation from a white ball into such a tiny cub. He didn't dare to reach out and hug him, especially since the little guy's wings were drooping behind him. Not knowing what was going on, Amos felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped, making it impossible for him to breathe and even unable to utter a word.
The huge wings behind him were like a barrier, spreading out and closing forward, faintly wrapping the little cub and blocking its surroundings.
When little Chuzao saw Amos, tears were about to fall, but he held them back. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and choked with sobs in a soft baby voice.
"Baba... Zao Zao, Zao Zao knew you would come. Zao Zao, Zao Zao has protected Grandpa Meilun... Zao Zao has also experienced the ups and downs, right? Doesn't that mean she has grown up?"
He was still wiping his eyes, the little cub still thinking about what he had heard from Amos earlier.
He doesn't rely on others that much.
Amos was stunned for a moment, then slowly clenched his hands.
The cub sniffed again and stretched out his hand tentatively: "Ba ba, Zao Zao is very strong, Zao Zao didn't cry--"
Can Zao Zao give me a hug? Zao Zao wants a hug.
No one responded to him before, Zao Zao was always alone...even for a small hug.
Amos finally couldn't help but hug the shivering little guy. He tried to soften his voice, but it sounded particularly dry: "It's my fault—"
The cub lay in his arms. It was fine just now, just sinking into the warm embrace and smelling the familiar scent.
As he spoke, the strong little baby's tears quickly overflowed, wetting the clothes in front of Amos. After a moment, his shoulders hugged by Amos trembled slightly, and soft sobs sounded brokenly.
Zaocao just didn’t say anything—Zaocao was alone...so scared.
