The assassins attacked frantically, and every train suffered losses.
But when the four trains fought back with all their might, An Ke's fighting power was not enough.
Coupled with the continuous death of assassins, the situation gradually shifted towards the train.
After five days of fighting, the remaining Anke suddenly disappeared, leaving only countless debris in the starry sky, and nothing else.
"This war is fought for no apparent reason and we have gained nothing." Tiejian was unhappy about it.
Agren agreed, "It's a good thing we didn't suffer any serious damage. Yaxian, you know the Dark Knights best. Where do they come from?"
The convoy had just set sail and the train conductors were chatting on the public screen.
Yaxian replied, "All I know about the Dark Agents comes from the Sky Tribe, but the Sky Tribe doesn't have much information either. According to their ancestral rules, by using a method that can't be passed on to others, one can communicate with the Dark Cage with their consciousness to open a passage. This passage is uncontrollable, and neither is the Dark Agent that emerges. Some Sky Tribe members have even been killed after summoning Dark Agents."
"Does the Kong Clan know what the Dark Cage is?" Chen An asked.
Yaxian said, "Not to mention the Sky Clan, even Eternal Night doesn't know. I guess we can only ask Darkness about this matter, because the summoning ability obtained by the Sky Clan comes from Darkness, which is unique in the entire universe."
There was no useful information. After chatting for a few words, Chen An left and everything was back to normal.
In fact, he didn't tell me some key information, which was found out by Lili's divination.
"The Dark Cage will fight against darkness in the future."
[This shows that the Dark Cage is not controlled by darkness, so why does it attack us?]
"The goal is very clear: the core of the train. From a broad perspective, we actually have a common enemy."
But the enemy of my enemy may not be my friend.
"Forget it, let's put these troubles aside for later. At least there's no problem at this stage."
Chen An stopped his seclusion and went to the rest area to spend some leisure time, observing external changes at any time.
Just two months later, problems arose again on the front line.
[Yashien discovered a train, but it had been completely destroyed]
Judging from the tragic situation at the scene, it must have been done by a sniper.
As the picture unfolds, you can see that the train is almost completely torn apart and the damage is very thorough.
The broken carriages were littered with corpses inside and outside. The densely packed corpses of creatures had been pulled together by gravity, forming complex clusters with dense distribution.
The reason why we determined that it was done by a hidden attacker was related to the scattered dark energy inside and outside the car.
"Why can't it be caused by the dark universe?" Qianqiu asked.
Chen An said: "If it is a dark energy creature, it may leave behind a more intense dark energy. The most important thing is that no matter whether the enemy is another train or a special force, it will definitely only kill the train conductor instead of killing all the passengers. Only those lunatics would do that."
[Also, the near-perfect loss of energy crystals within the train suggests the attackers were only interested in taking the train's core and killing people, and were uninterested in anything else. The ambush they encountered was similar to ours.]
Soon after, four trains gathered at the scene, not for investigation, but simply to allocate resources.
"There's nothing much to say, let's divide it equally." Tiekan, as the captain, made the plan and no one objected.
There may be occasional minor conflicts in the allocation process, but they can be resolved with slight adjustments.
Ten days later, the convoy set off again, this time with Egglen at the helm.
"It's time so soon?" Yaxian was not happy.
Although there are risks in piloting, you can also find good things along the way. As long as you collect them quickly enough, those behind you won’t know about it.
It doesn’t matter even if other train conductors know about it. It’s an unspoken rule that pilots get extra rewards.
Agron laughed and said, "Navigation is too dangerous. If you encounter the assassin again, your losses will be too great. Go to the back!"
Yasien had nothing to say and drove the train to exchange positions.
Nothing happened after that, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Chen An, who was playing games out of boredom, was interrupted by Fu Yao.
We've arrived at the battlefield
"Are you sure this is a real battlefield?"
[Very sure]
Chen An packed up quickly and went to the cockpit to check the images provided by Fuyao.
It was an extremely tall crystal tablet with the word "boundary" clearly written on it.
[The boundary specifically refers to the edge of the main universe, which is also known as the battlefield]
“Where are we now?”
[Just passed the battle zone and entered a starry sky filled with extremely abundant energy. There are many signs of destruction along the way, indicating that a train or experts have already arrived.]
The field of vision was too narrow, and Fuyao couldn't tell what was going on. He could only continue along the current route.
Half a month later, Egglen reported back that he had been ambushed.
Other trains moved on quickly.
[Egron's train is under siege by two distinct forces. The enemy currently has nine exposed Supreme Emperors.]
[The other party's main civilization is a multi-headed carbon-based creature, whose body may be related to insect civilization]
A biological shape appeared on the screen, making Chen An frown.
Two or three heads, with countless tentacles extending in all directions from the bottom.
But upon closer inspection, they looked less like tentacles and more like an insectoid body, only too long.
[These multi-headed insectoid creatures are good at attacking consciousness, causing Aegron's people to suffer a lot]
Chen An looked strange and said with a smile: "Isn't there death behind Agren? Will he be attacked by consciousness?"
"That's true. Even if there weren't any sentient beings in Agren's car, there would definitely be benefits to death. He probably wanted to hide his weakness, knowing we would help."
We must help, and all three trains have sent experts to provide support, but we cannot just start a war without any reason. We must know the reason.
"Fuyao, contact the other side and ask why they ambushed us."
…
Dozens of light years behind the battlefield, inside a complex space shield, a huge ball of light slowly rotates.
If you zoom in, you'll find that the light on the photosphere comes from the urban clusters on the surface.
Each light spot represents a city, and countless cities make the ball shine brightly like stars.
At the top of the vertical axis of this sphere, there is a small sphere floating in the air. There is no city on it, only stone houses of various shapes.
At the top of the sphere is a disk with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers, on which are distributed a large number of stone tablets in a seemingly ancient manner, all of which show signs of damage.
In the center of the stone tablets, Audrey suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the distance.
She only has a human-like head, but beneath her are countless round, plump, insect-like bodies. It seems that each body contains stars and all things, releasing terrifying pressure outwards.
"Why are there four trains?"
A circular screen of light popped up from the side of his head, revealing two connected heads. They spoke in unison, "I'm not sure. They appeared suddenly. Should we change our plans? We may not be able to defeat them as we wish."
After a moment's thought, Audrey said, "Contact Cece and ask them how to handle this. If it's just one train, we can fight tooth and nail. But with four, it'll be very difficult. We won't gain anything."
