After quickly checking its own location and the location of t10, t2 did not hesitate and immediately issued the order to retreat.
Although holding this stronghold would provide more weapons and firepower to defend against the alien attacks, in reality, doing so would have a negligible effect.
Even if all the ships were activated and deployed into battle, they still could not withstand the Venerable One's all-out attack when he was in the eighth stage.
"If we choose to retreat immediately, when those aliens catch up, we will likely only need to grit our teeth and hold on for about half a day before that human expert comes to our aid."
t2 explained in detail to the many creatures present the various benefits hidden behind this decision.
"But even if the situation is as optimistic as you say, the huge gap between our current strength and those aliens is still there. Successfully surviving this long half-day is almost an impossible task!"
Wuyun Taxue expressed his deepest thoughts with great concern.
t2 nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Indeed, as you said, all the mechanical creatures of our Mechanical Kingdom will resolutely stay here to build an unbreakable defense line and do their best to stop the horde of aggressive aliens."
I believe that with our efforts, we should be able to buy you a full half-day of your precious time.
Then, T2 added: "Moreover, during this time, we will also destroy all the high-tech weapons that we cannot take with us, especially the incredibly powerful planet-destroying cannon."
After all, no one can guarantee that these powerful weapons won't fall into enemy hands. If they were used to bombard you relentlessly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, Zu Long refused without hesitation, saying, "Absolutely not! This time, our brave and fearless dragon knights will never abandon their comrades and flee the battlefield alone again."
Seeing that T2 seemed to want to continue arguing, Zulong had already anticipated what he was about to say, so he preemptively said, "Stop using your ability to revive by relying on backup memories as an excuse."
Although you possess this incredible ability to be resurrected from a backup after death, each death causes almost complete destruction to the crucial modules of your abilities.
Zu Long paused, then continued solemnly, "You must know that the value of some ability modules far exceeds the life of most of us. They are incredibly precious, and once damaged, they are difficult to repair or reproduce."
Just as the two sides were deadlocked and arguing endlessly, Wu Yun Taxue, who had been silent all along, finally spoke slowly and put forward a compromise suggestion: "How about this, any creature that has reached the level of the extraordinary sequence or above, if there is any that is willing to stay behind to cover the rear, then let them stay."
In this way, even if they unfortunately die in battle, because they all possess extraordinary artifacts, they will at least retain a sliver of hope for resurrection and rebirth.
This can be said to have satisfied the conditions put forward by both parties. Therefore, after a tense and serious discussion, the two parties finally reached a consensus and expressed their agreement.
Before long, news of the retreat spread like wildfire.
However, apart from those cold and ruthless mechanical creatures that only knew how to carry out orders, there were very few other creatures that were truly willing to stay on their own initiative.
One reason for this is that powerful beings that meet or exceed the level of the extraordinary sequence are extremely rare.
On the other hand, it was because only a portion of the extraordinary beings from the Stone Kingdom and the Dragon Knight forces resolutely chose to stay behind to face the unknown crisis and take on the responsibility of covering the rear.
As for the other extraordinary beings who were in the second or third tier of power, not a single one was willing to step forward and stay.
Although these supernatural beings from second- and third-tier forces were unaware of the severity of the situation, they keenly sensed a great danger lurking within the tense and oppressive atmosphere of evacuation that permeated the surroundings.
Even worse, some people brazenly declared, "Those powerful forces enjoy so many precious resources from the Black Sea world every day. Now that it's a critical moment, they should be the ones to shield us small fry from all dangers!"
T2 and Zulong, both top-tier powerhouses, did not dwell on or argue with such remarks.
However, at this moment, Wu Yun Ta Xue approached Gu Ling Chuan.
He said solemnly, "Gu Lingchuan, the situation is extremely critical. The top combat forces of our Shi Kui Kingdom, Dragon Knights, and Mechanical Kingdom have all decided to stay behind to cover your retreat and ensure your safe evacuation."
Moreover, the remaining creatures are all prepared to fight to the death, determined to do everything in their power to protect you.
Of course, I will stay without hesitation!
Wu Yun Ta Xue paused briefly before continuing, "I sincerely hope that your human friend, if he has the capacity, can prioritize saving the members of our three major forces."
You must understand, only they are willing to risk their lives to protect you! None of the second- or third-tier forces are willing to stay behind to cover your retreat, let alone protect you.
After listening to these words quietly, Gu Lingchuan slowly opened his mouth and replied, "I really cannot give a definite guarantee about this matter."
After all, that powerful human had his own way of thinking and code of conduct.
However, rest assured, if he truly possesses any remaining power, I will certainly urge him to first rescue the Dragon Knights and the creatures of the Stone King Kingdom.”
The reason why the Machine Kingdom was not mentioned is because all the mechanical beings in the Machine Kingdom resolutely chose to stay.
After hearing this, Wu Yun Ta Xue didn't insist on anything. She simply nodded slightly to show her understanding and then softly uttered two words: "Thank you."
As time went on, most of the creatures began to evacuate this dangerous place.
In the end, besides the various mechanical creatures of different levels from the Mechanical Kingdom, those who remained were all powerful beings at the fourth stage of the Extraordinary Sequence, numbering in the dozens.
It was clear from their resolute eyes and determined expressions that each of them was prepared to die.
