There is such a saying.
In the brief moment before death, a person will reflect on their entire life.
From birth to death, all the memories of those long decades will flash before your eyes in a fleeting moment.
Yun Shuchang had heard of this saying, but had never experienced it herself, until now…
She still didn't.
Because Yun Shuchang was not actually on the verge of death.
They weren't even injured.
"What!?"
Yun Shuchang looked up at the sky in shock, watching in disbelief as the terrifying figure that brought death was blasted away by a huge beam of light.
His figure veered to the side and crashed onto a ground teeming with extraordinary creatures, falling heavily amidst their agonizing screams as they scattered and fled.
boom!
"That is..."
Has reinforcement arrived?!
Yun Shuchang turned her head in surprise and looked in the direction from which the beam of light was coming from.
"ah."
Full of anticipation, but the final result left Yun Shuchang's expression stiff and somewhat bitter.
Because that beam of light did not come from reinforcements, but from the central tank in the command sequence.
The pale purple protective shield that had been standing firm now appeared somewhat illusory and fragile.
"That was quite an adventure."
Understanding what this meant, Yun Shuchang's expression remained somewhat bitter, but she also felt a sense of relief.
This change means that the central tank has sacrificed some of its defensive capabilities and converted them into offensive capabilities.
The central tank, which carries all command and logistics personnel, was designed from the outset to withstand several legendary attacks and hold out long enough for other reinforcements to arrive, preventing it from being wiped out by the legendary forces at the very beginning of the battle.
The extraordinary beings were aware of this, so from the beginning, the two legends had no intention of attacking the central chariot, but instead chose to ignore it.
Because they were absolutely certain that those people would not come out of the tank's defenses, but would only watch helplessly as others died, waiting for rescue to arrive.
The actions of the central tank, however, elicited a strange expression from the elderly legend in the sky. He looked at the tank's protective shield, which had become much more transparent, and frowned slightly.
"Why would those nobles risk attacking instead of fighting back with all their might? What are they thinking?"
...
...
"Deputy Commander, what are you thinking?"
"What are you doing? Do you know you're going to kill us all?!"
The old legend was puzzled by what had just happened, and even the person inside the chariot was quite confused.
Before that moment happened, none of them realized that their deputy commander would make such an astonishing move.
Despite being clearly at a disadvantage, they actually took the initiative to attack and fight back against that legendary dragon.
Are you crazy?
Seeing the questioning and horrified looks from some members of the Silver Council, Sophie sighed.
A mob?
No, those noblemen who are qualified to be in this room are not idiots. They all have their own special abilities and are elites with different skills in various fields.
Unfortunately, after tearing off their masks of elite status, these people still revealed the selfish side of humanity.
They're all sophisticated egoists.
Ignoring their accusations and questions, Sophie had no intention of wasting any more breath on these people, especially in such a time of crisis.
She simply kept her eyes fixed on the various battle situations ahead, constantly sensing the thoughts in her heart.
Sophie's indifference seemed to prove her own mistake and gave those people more courage to continue their accusations:
"Your actions will put us in danger. Without our coordination, there is no chance of winning the battle."
ridiculous.
What use are mascots like yours?
Do you really think that following a plan proves you're excellent?
"Your actions will only enrage the dragon, making the battle even worse."
Utterly ridiculous!
Even if we do nothing, the situation could not get any worse.
"That's an unwise move! When the enemy and friend are unclear, preserving as many people as possible is the most sensible course of action!"
Unwise?
hehe.
"reason?"
Finally responding to one of the terms, Sophie turned to the person who had berated her and smiled elegantly.
This smile perfectly embodied the grace of an elegant noblewoman, a silver diplomat, and a socialite at a banquet.
But for some reason, this beautiful expression made the person who was just moments before filled with righteous indignation and stubbornness feel a chill run through their body.
Nodding to him and to them, Sophie smiled and said:
"Then what do you think is true rationality? Are we supposed to wait until they've actually killed everyone before slowly cracking open our shell?"
Sophie's smile was polite and her tone elegant, but the sarcasm in her words left the questioner speechless.
"Even if we sacrifice others to survive now, how much longer can we live if reinforcements don't arrive?"
No one answered, because they all knew the answer.
They're just pretending not to understand.
At a time like this, you're still thinking about seizing power and attacking me?
Yes, that has a very aristocratic air about it.
