Chapter 197 Has Hope Township Fallen?
When Xiaozhen and his companions rushed back to Muli City, countless points of light were passing through the clouds.
The Izel alien fleet broke through the orbital defenses. Their strange and bizarre shadows descended with the gray fog. The sky echoed with strange howls, and along with the sharp alarms, it spread throughout the city.
A child said, "Look, there are so many shadows like rain." The mother covered the child's eyes, as if this could drive the terrible shadows out of the world.
Millions of glorious warriors of the Land of Hope looked up and saw the warships in the sky burning. They drew bright trails and turned into ashes along with the brave soldiers on board. That was the defense fleet fighting in orbit. Their mission had ended. Now it was the turn of the people on the ground to protect their homeland.
Jiang Dan, the governor of Hope Township, stared at the sky. All communication channels were reporting the destruction of the orbital garrison fleet. She didn't even know when General Tang was killed. His last communication was: [Fight, my friend.]
The sky was still shaking, and a fox man saluted her. He was General Tang's successor, Captain Qixun. He said, "The enemy is coming."
Muli trembled in the roar of the artillery fire. A translucent semicircular shield enveloped the city. It was defending against the energy beam cannon of the Izel aliens. White flashes splashed and exploded on the shield like bubbles. The air twisted and screamed because of the huge energy. The Izel alien fleet concentrated its energy beams to hit the shield. Everyone saw fine cracks appearing on the soap bubble-like translucent shield, like glass about to break.
The shield is about to be shattered.
Fei found a room, knelt on the ground, and performed a brief Yimen confession ceremony. Grandmother, I will die here because I did not identify the murderer who killed my father. She whispered to the void, may the Xiuta goddess of Yimen forgive my incompetence and weakness.
At a time when the entire planet was at stake, she was still thinking about her own private affairs. Was this really okay? She had been a little uneasy about this, and finally she found a deserted place to perform her own ceremony. The Yimen people were bound by tradition from birth to death, and she was no exception.
After finishing the ceremony, she stood up and tried to return to her companions, but she bumped into Gamor. The orange-haired girl was standing at the door, looking at her curiously with a pair of sparkling eyes.
"You, how long have you been standing here!!!" Fei shouted. This was the first time she lost her composure in front of Jia Moer. Did she hear her confession?
Gamor slid into the room lightly. Her limbs were extremely flexible, and she walked without making any sound. She turned to Fei and said with a smile: "Fei, I got something very good, give it to you." In one hand, she spread out a Thunderbolt-class energy type 3 gun. Fei recognized this model. This gun looked small but had amazing firepower. "Now all those who participated in the defense operation are armed to the teeth from head to toe. When those monsters come over later, we can't be without weapons."
Fei took the gun silently and pointed it at Gamor's smooth forehead. Gamor looked at her curiously. Her bright eyes were like shining stars in the room, smiling at her without any malice. "This gun is very useful. I also got one for myself for the sake of Lord Toilian." She showed off to Fei and shook the other gun in her hand.
Fei moved the gun away, pointed it at the wall, and quickly pulled the safety catch.
"You're just a cook, is it really necessary for you to go to the battlefield?" Fei heard herself asking her in an unusually calm tone.
"I have a legal gun license, and my training also includes heavy weapons. I saw that the student militia was already fully armed and heading to the city wall. How could I hide when even these children went to the battlefield? Moreover..." She said in a proud tone, "We are now all employees of the Eye of Oversight! Of course we have to fight with them!"
Fei put down her gun. That's right, what was she still struggling with? The only thing she had to do now was to fight. Now their only enemy was falling from the sky outside the city wall and biting at the protective shield.
"Fei! After we drive away the monsters, come and try the food I cooked! This is what we agreed on!" said Jia Moer, her tone lively and optimistic.
But we will all die here.
Fei didn't answer her, turned and walked out of the room.
Ilian was standing by the city wall, staring at the protective shield in the sky. The Chief Inspector was now in charge of the defense of the southern city. He had brought more than 600 soldiers from the Eye of Supervision, the Star Order, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Glory and militiamen behind the south gate. They were waiting for the moment when the protective shield was broken.
He said, “Young man, you should go to a shelter.”
Xiao Zhen stood beside him. Because they had been traveling together for a long time, Ilian already knew that the young Homo sapiens hired by Mr. Cat was very capable and skilled in martial arts, but in his eyes, Xiao Zhen was still just a minor.
"My friends are in the shelter in the city," Xiao Zhen replied, "so I'm going to stay here."
According to the information provided by the old man who guarded the village in the Tita Mountains, Liu Xingquan was likely sent to a shelter. At this point, Xiao Zhen completely calmed down.
His friend Liu Xingquan was in a shelter in the city of Muli, huddled together with the frightened citizens, looking at the shaking ceiling and listening to the rumble of war.
This journey across the starry sea to find people has lost its meaning at this moment. This is the front line, this is the battlefield. All he can do is to drive those hateful alien monsters out of this land. To protect the Hope Town is to protect his friends.
Inspector General Illian turned his head and said nothing more. Right now, all his time and attention must be focused on the battlefield.
The cracks in the shield covering the city spread like frost. Nightmare-like shadows twisted and entangled outside the semi-transparent shield. Xiao Zhen looked at it, Illian looked at it, countless warriors looked at it, and the people in the shelter also looked at it.
The communication channel suddenly rang, and Governor Jiang Dan's voice spread throughout the city along with the rustling noise.
“There are three more digital, the alien fleet will break through the protective shield. "She said, "I am Losa's comrade-in-arms - the descendant of Xiong Shi, the builder of Hope Town. I am a child of Hope Town, and I am Jiang Dan, the governor of Hope Town. Please answer me a question. "
"Tell me! Has Hope Township fallen?"
It was very quiet on the wall, no one answered her, only a few soldiers grumbled softly.
"Answer me! Has Hope Township fallen?" Her passionate voice echoed in the communication channel.
"No!" some soldiers shouted.
"I didn't hear your answer. Answer me! Right now, at this moment, has Hope Township fallen?"
"No! No! No!!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
"Yes, this is our Hopeland, the Hopeland that our ancestors built over generations! It is under our feet. The children of Hopeland, your relatives and friends are all behind us. Now, those filthy aliens are coming to destroy our homeland and massacre our children, relatives and friends."
Her powerful voice was sweeping the whole place.
"They are trying to tear apart the world that Lothar and our ancestors fought so hard for. Let me ask you, has the Land of Hope fallen?"
"No! No! No!!!"
"That's right, Hope Town is still under our feet. As long as we are here, Hope Town will stand firm! Let them see the anger of the galactic civilization! Roar at the enemy! Shout! " Jiang Dan shouted: "Under the light of this star spring, fight! For Lothar! For M'li! For Hope Town! For the heroes of the past! For those who live in the present!"
"For the Light of the Star Spring!!"
"For Lothar!! For Hope Town!! For M'li!!"
"For the heroes of the past!! For those who live in the present!"
"Fight!! Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!"
The passionate roars of the soldiers echoed on the city wall, and Xiaozhen and Captain Madara stared at each other. Xiaozhen felt some kind of emotion surging in Captain Madara's heart.
It whispered to Xiaozhen: "Xiaozhen, I was just accompanying you here as a normal trip."
"I'm so sorry, Captain Madara."
"No, you don't have to apologize." Captain Madara shook his head. "I have never seen such a grand scene in my life." He raised his wings and pointed at the densely packed monsters outside the protective shield. "Facing more than hundreds of thousands of Izel aliens, this is a scene I dare not even dream of. It is really a wonderful experience that only happens once in a century."
In a sense, it was really unlucky. Xiao Zhen thought.
At this time, a soldier holding a gun was waving his fist and roaring at the sky. He accidentally bumped into Captain Madara with his foot. He lowered his head to apologize. When he saw Captain Madara clearly, he shouted: "Why is there a chicken here?"
“…”
Zhang Fei burst into laughter. Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were originally shouting slogans, were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Gamor was bent over with laughter, and Lian Fei covered his mouth, his eyes full of laughter. Ilian and his adjutant Miao Wen were still standing straight, but it could be seen from Miao Wen's slightly trembling fists that the two were trying to hold back their laughter. Roken M89 whispered, "I can't understand your focus." The question that always came at an inappropriate time was like a breeze blowing by, sweeping away all the anxiety and worries of Xiao Zhen and his group.
Xiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh. He turned to Captain Madara and said, "I originally thought that Hope Township and Muri would all be doomed. As Illian said, this is just a hopeless battle. But now I think we may actually win."
"For a creature like intelligent life to still care about , there's really nothing to say about it. I can only say," Captain Ban jumped onto the battlements of the city wall, "We may really win. No, we will definitely win."
Captain Madara flapped his wings and shouted, "For Lothar! For Hope Town! For Muri! Come on!! Fight!!"
…
…
Amid the shouts of countless warriors, the protective shield broke.
Densely packed alien landing craft began to descend.
The cannon roared. The defense fortress, the heavy anti-aircraft weapons deployed in the city of Muli in recent days, raised their muzzles and fired huge energy waves at the sky to destroy the large number of falling alien landing craft. The sky above the entire city was interwoven into a dazzling invisible dense network. The landing capsules of the Izel alien soldiers were constantly hit and turned into ashes in the thick smoke. So many anti-aircraft guns sprayed energy at the same time, covering Muli in a rain of fire.
The air began to twist due to this high-energy heat.
Xiao Zhen looked ahead. Even under such intensive artillery fire, there would still be a lot of fish that slipped through the net. Countless landing craft were torn into pieces. These soldiers basically could not land in the city of Muli, but more landing craft and airdrop pods landed one after another on the ground not far away. They were gathering and rushing towards Muli like a black tide.
The biological soldiers of Izel were the products of the alien gene pool. They had no intellect or emotions, and the only way of thinking that drove them was killing. In the flash of artillery fire, they were instantly blown into a bloody mist of meat. Then more soldiers appeared from the end of the sky. Perhaps their existence was just to consume the bullets of Hope Town. Heavy artillery and automatic flying weapons never stopped to eliminate waves of alien soldiers.
They are still approaching.
"The enemy is approaching firing range!"
"Get ready to shoot!" Adjutant Miao Wen shouted.
The soldiers raised their guns.
They are getting closer.
"shooting!!"
Thousands of beams of light turned into a web, crushing the monsters.
They are like a roaring sea, with waves being raised from time to time, but then being quickly filled up.
The South Gate Defense Battle officially began.
On Earth, a king once asked his invincible genius general how to ensure victory in a battle. The general replied: Of course, the more soldiers the better. This is indeed a simple truth.
In the face of overwhelming numbers, all conspiracies and tricks are empty talk.
The first wave of the offensive was completely evaporated by the rain of artillery fire and the beam net before it reached the city wall ten meters away. When the last alien soldier disappeared from sight, the soldiers on the city wall cheered.
"Hope Township Stands Strong!!!"
"Die, monster!!"
But I only took a breath for two hours., the second wave of black tide came again.
The artillery fire resumed. Fire rained down again.
This is a rebellion against a civilization-destroying invasion.
While these soldiers, regarded as cannon fodder by the Izel aliens, turned into blood mist residue, the Mullinan Gate was also under fierce attack. Soldiers on the city wall were constantly being hit and fell. When one soldier fell, another would take his place. They were slug people, lizard people, Pepero people, Homo sapiens, fox people, and galactic intelligent life from different planets and races from all directions. No one retreated, and they vented their fire of revenge on the enemy with gunfire.
The second wave of attack was again repelled.
Cheers rang out again.
The third wave of attack was repelled again.
The cheers became much quieter.
…
…
One day later.
Xiaozhen looked towards the end of the sky. Which wave is this?
A soldier cursed softly, "It never ends."
"These soldiers are consumables. They are inherently tireless," said Inspector General Ilian.
In the distance, another wave of black water came again. Was this the eleventh wave, or the twelfth wave?
"No matter how many come, it's all the same." Adjutant Miao Wen once again gave the order to open fire.
Not the same.
Xiao Zhen thought that the number of each attack was obviously larger than the previous wave, and the intensity of the attack was also greater than the previous one. He glanced at Inspector General Illian, who must have noticed it.
These aliens seem to be playing with us.
No, this is just playing around, using consumables to appreciate the struggle of a trapped beast from a high position.
Heat waves rolled in the air and artillery fire flared on the battlefield.
Under the dense energy explosion, the soldiers died again and again. Just like the previous waves, the soldiers once again used energy beams to clean up the battlefield. This time, the soldiers no longer had the energy to cheer and celebrate. They were all licking this precious short rest interval.
"Is this the only human wave tactic they have?" a soldier muttered softly.
If the human wave tactics continue endlessly, they will really drown us. It would be great if it was really just human wave tactics.
Xiao Zhen frowned and looked straight ahead. Just now, he felt something unusual. At this moment, the last alien soldier near the city wall was being eliminated. No new black waves appeared at the end of the skyline, and everything was calm.
But I felt something.
Xiao Zhen spread out his consciousness tentacles, feeling the subtle changes in the space. In an instant, Xiao Zhen suddenly shouted: "Everyone, retreat quickly!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of the city wall began to deform, as if a floating glass window was opened in an instant. Without any warning, some things came out from the depths of the structure through the cracks in the distorted space.
This is the use of mysterious technology to cross the material world and span the distance of space. In the galactic civilization, there is also the technology of quantum entanglement space transfer, and Muli City has already prepared countermeasures. Everything in front of us is completely different from the galactic civilization. It is an unknown area that transcends known civilizations. They came silently.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhen's invisible tentacles attacked in an instant. In a breath that no one could observe, he crushed two alien creatures that came through space one after another.
Then he heard a consciousness, which was not a voice, but a consciousness conveyed in some way. "Who are you?"
Xiao Zhen didn't answer it, but he could feel its presence, its confusion, and its great distance from him. No need to confirm, it was the leader of the Izel aliens, it was the enemy.
The consciousness disappeared. Perhaps it thought it was no longer necessary to ask.
Xiao Zhen was using his invisible tentacles to try to destroy the space bond that could not be seen by the naked eye. The non-material energy was spreading, and the sky was shining. The scale of the space bond was far beyond his imagination. The space gates of the Izel alien opened one after another.
Hundreds of slender aliens that looked like both shadows and entities landed inside the city wall and began to kill.
Shouts, screams. The communication channel was filled with cries and strange sounds that Izel the alien could not decipher.
"It's the messenger of doom sent by the aliens!" Illian shouted, wielding his force field sword to kill the monsters around him. The warriors took up their weapons to show their courage, but these slender aliens were extremely fast, they could even control the distance around them, flashing like ghosts and taking people's lives.
Die die die die die die die.
The soldiers fell one after another. Wherever Xiao Zhen's sword touched, the aliens died. But there were too many of them. His sword was covered with layers of alien body fluids, and the bodies on the ground piled up like a mountain. The soldiers continued to die.
Liu Bei was hit by the alien and fell to the ground. He closed his eyes and prepared to die. But he only heard a crackling noise of electricity. He opened his eyes and saw Roken M89 blocking Liu Bei. Its mechanical body had been pierced. The alien made a strange sound and broke it into pieces in an instant. Captain Madara pushed the alien away with his wings, and Xiao Zhen turned around and cut the alien in two. Roken M89's head rolled to the side, the flash of the electronic eye went out, and green smoke with a burnt smell rose from its body.
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the soldiers on the city wall had been slaughtered by the surprise attack of these messengers of doom. Xiao Zhen heard a loud rumbling noise coming from afar. They were coming again.
The thirteenth wave of black soldiers rolled in again.
"Report!! The firepower of the Fifth Squadron is no longer enough to repel the alien soldiers!! They are climbing up!!"
"South Gate Second Squad requests support!!"
" Report, report! All the militia members of Kashuman Academy have been killed!"
All communications are reporting deaths.
Ilian killed an abominable alien in front of him and said to the communication channel: "The south gate is about to be lost. Retreat now."
The remaining soldiers gathered together, fighting and retreating at the same time. If they insisted on defending, they would die in vain, so they could only retreat temporarily.
"retreat!!"
“Go!!”
Pain and despair were revealed on every soldier's face.
Did we fail?
Jia Moer suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Look! Look quickly!"
The voice of Captain Qixun was heard on the communication channel, "Stop the anti-aircraft fire! Remove the protective shield in the area 23-67!"
Ilian exchanged glances with his adjutant Miao Wen, and Xiao Zhen stared blankly at the sky. Removing the protective shield, there was only one possibility.
In the sky, among tens of thousands of mysterious shadows, groups of warships appeared. They soared in the sky, shining with bright energy light, and their emblems were engraved on the proud and graceful hulls of the ships. They were the guardians of Shanles, the proud daughters of the Nansai people, and the indomitable and outstanding warriors of the Milky Way. They came from the distant Shanles, and they shone brightly in the sky. They were the army of the Jealous Goddess.
A soldier shouted, "Has Hope Township fallen?"
"No! No! No!" Countless soldiers answered crying while looking at the warships in the sky.
