Chapter 437 We Continue to Fight
Shark Fang is running in this crumbling Eternal Palace.
No one cared about his movements now. A more terrible enemy had arrived. The god's mad guard sentinels were about to devour the planet. He was not surprised by this result. As the adult said, even if there were slight changes, this lifeline would still move forward in its predetermined direction.
And his mission on this planet must be completed.
The item he got from Inspector Sheying, an old acquaintance of the Security Committee, the fragments of the Akat Cube, reflected the scenery around the palace like black glass. His reflection was reflected on the cross section of the Akat Cube, but what he saw was not his current appearance, but a younger boy. The phantom reflected by the Akat Cube was never the present tense.
Tsk, the young me looked really annoying, Shark Tooth thought to himself.
He touched the block and looked up ahead.
Thick smoke billowed in the sky, and the twisted and huge blocky figures were looming. They were the sentinels of the ancient forerunners who were maliciously released because of conspiracy. They were appearing, they were descending, and they were destroying.
They look really ugly, Shark Tooth thought. Then he laughed at his own self-righteousness. They were ancient creations whose technology far surpassed that of today, forbidden things that even the Mudin people could not defeat. The entire Xiyiqi might be completely destroyed in an instant, but he had the leisure to appreciate the appearance of this terrible monster.
"But that's all." He whispered to himself.
Whether it is a god or a god's sentinel, as long as they exist, they will definitely be destroyed.
He had no choice but to fight and move forward, just as he had done in the past.
When Princess Alji walked into the hall, she saw many familiar and unfamiliar people. Among them was the commander of the army, holding a helmet in his hand. There were more people, including ministers and nobles, but more were volunteers who volunteered to join the war, as well as many Sadie soldiers. A kind of emotion was brewing among them, that was worry, fear, and anger at the absurd world today.
This emotion is spreading in everyone's sight and smell.
But everyone knows what they should do now. Or rather, it is precisely because they know that they gather here.
The commander of the Royal Capital's defense army clicked on the holographic projection, which flashed the positions of the sentinels, and they were increasing in number. In the face of overwhelming destructive power, all that was left to do was to allocate troops.
After the deployment, everyone's eyes were on her. She was the person with the highest status on the planet. But Princess Alji couldn't say a word. The first queen came to Xiyiqi because of the gods' order. The secret mission of their tribe was to protect the legacy of the gods in the past. A long time has passed, and the Xiyiqi insect swarm has reproduced and watched here generation after generation. That is the inheritance of many generations of queens.
But now the sky is falling apart overnight.
The sentinels of the ancient gods, the great and magnificent objects that were supposed to protect the gods' legacy, were maliciously exploited due to the conspiracy of the Black Box Society.
The mother she respected the most was gone. The father she loved the most was killed in front of her eyes. Her millions of people were about to be slaughtered by the Sentinels, and there was no hope for them.
The mission of their tribe and the people they are supposed to protect are gradually becoming a bubble.
There was too much information to be said, lingering in her glands. She could feel the cold anger and sadness tearing at her body, and it was so painful that she couldn't move. Princess Alji thought, I can't say a word.
All her thoughts had been expressed in the communication network just now.
There is nothing more to say.
So there was no exciting declaration of war, no fancy pre-war speeches.
The commanders, guard volunteers, and alien combatants from various units in the hall stared at her quietly.
She looked at them.
"Die bravely, men."
Everyone silently pointed their weapons to the sky. Princess Alji could feel the unique mutual connection between the Xiyiqi people, the cold anger before the overwhelming crisis, and the thorough awareness before the situation could no longer be reversed.
She should have only been able to sense the information link with the Xiyichi Zerg, but at this moment, this sensation seemed to link with all the races outside the Zerg present. The Sadis who could only make chirping sounds also responded in her mind.
So, we set off.
We fight.
Some court officials wanted to stop her, saying that Xiyiqi couldn't afford to lose another princess. But now there was no way back, everyone was about to die. What was the point of her hiding in the back?
…
…
She arrived at the front line of the royal capital.
Only then did Princess Alji realize how terrifying the sentinels were. The sky was burning, the earth was burning, and countless lights were jumping around, making people dizzy. All the officers and soldiers remained silent. The enemy before them was beyond their imagination and beyond everyone's combat cognition.
Later she couldn't remember any details of the beginning.
The moment she arrived at the fortress, the laser cannons on the fortress were roaring and firing at all the sentinels that appeared in front of them. The powerful energy artillery fire roared out like a raging wave, impacting the block-like objects composed of unknown substances, and almost immediately dispersed their real forms.
That is the embodiment of the will of all life on Xiyiqi.
No one was happy about this, because the Sentinel would never be so fragile.
When the blinding flash faded, it rose up in front of all the soldiers like flowing jelly. Then, in the blink of an eye, a heat wave rolled in. The sentinels of the ancient gods regrouped and rebuilt. The surrounding buildings and streets were like its fuel, absorbing the energy from all around and reborn in an instant.
“Don’t stop!! Fire!! Fire!!” the Royal Capital Defense Commander Yetwal shouted loudly.
The laser cannon roared again.
But just like before, the powerful torrent of artillery energy was able to disperse and evaporate the sentinels. In just a moment, the sentinels regrouped and revived, turning into twisted blocks, tearing apart everything around them and attacking them. The artillery fire that could have burned everything became a delaying agent, making all the resistance seem like a game.
Our fight is not in vain.
All the pouring artillery fire was buying more time for all the lives on Xiyichi, buying them more moments to breathe.
However, the number and offensive power of the Sentinels far exceeded their imagination.
They didn't know how many sentinels they had killed. Wave after wave of new sentinels reborn and attacked, each one more fierce and numerous than the last.
Princess Alji was the rear guard of the fortress defense force. She was sitting in the heavy mechanical cavalry, and the communication receiver was echoing the message of Yetval repeatedly urging her to retreat. Just as she tried to talk to Commander Yetval, the other party's echo disappeared.
Then lightning streaked across the sky, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness in an instant, with only tiny flashes of light illuminating the smoke.
The sentinel's unique sharp hissing sound echoed around, and even the earth shook.
"Commander Yetval?" Princess Alji called out, "Teacher Kana?"
There was only the hissing sound of electricity in the communication network, and no response.
She raised her eyes and the sensor showed a sentry emerging not far away in the smoke. The block of material turned yellow like rust under the arc light of the artillery fire.
Even though Princess Alji was inside the shield of the heavy mechanical cavalry at the moment and did not receive any damage, she still felt as if she was immersed in boiling hot water.
Don't be afraid, she took a deep breath, "My mother and father are watching me from Nocturne Mountain," she said silently. Then she pushed the lever.
“Fire!!”
Flashes ignited in an instant. Scorching energy gushed out from the barrel of the mechanical cavalry, and countless sparks jumped in the air. The hit sentinels swayed in the air, and the hit points were melting and decomposing.
"Your Highness, be careful!" the guard's voice came from the communicator.
But now is the opportunity, Princess Alji thought. From the battle just now, she found that the sentinel would not be repaired immediately after being hit. This is the opportunity to take advantage of.
So she controlled the mechanical cavalry to leap forward, keeping her balance, just like she did in her usual training. In a breath, she jumped in front of the sentinel, then raised her force field sword and chopped it down from the head.
The knife falls immediately without hesitation.
Heat gushed out like grease, and she could even feel the material shell of the Sentinel peeling away. She half-turned and jumped back, and the Sentinel melted in a flash of fire and heat. The bright light made her vision temporarily pale.
“Well done!!”
"Activate the shields," the princess said. "There will be more of them soon."
In the past, although Alji had thought about making achievements on the battlefield, he never thought about it in this way. Xiyiqi needed a strong and tough queen, just like her mother. She knew that she would face tough battles in the future, but she thought it would be a life-and-death struggle for the throne with her sisters. The characteristics of Xiyiqi's Zerg determined that she would have more than one sister in the future. There was only one queen who could inherit the throne, and that was her, or she would kill her sister.
A strong will, as well as patience and cold-bloodedness that are not inferior to ordinary people, these are the qualities that a queen must have. But if everyone is going to die, and the Xiyiqi that she protects no longer exists, then what is the point of being a queen?
Now she had long forgotten the things that her teachers and court officials had repeatedly emphasized to her. She only knew that she had to protect Xiyiqi and she had to fight with everyone. When the catastrophe came, all the warriors on the battlefield of Xiyiqi had linked their thoughts together, that is, the will and determination to fight for survival.
The shield hummed.
The princess saw that there was one less row of lights on the communication display.
Unknowingly, the newly born sentinels devoured some soldiers, and those comrades who fought alongside her left forever.
Mother, father, please look at me. She raised her eyes and returned her gaze to the endless enemies on the sensor screen.
Artillery fire whizzed past Prince Linaru's head.
Countless fireballs collided with the shield, disintegrated and broke into small sparks. Endless groups of sentinels were pouring in from the end . In comparison, the remaining soldiers were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot without knowing their own strength. They were hiding in the shield and resisting stubbornly.
At this moment, Prince Linaru was no longer the handsome prince who was always bright and beautiful. At this moment, his whole body was covered with soot, and every limb of his body was twitching nervously because of excessive force. He didn't know how long it had been, and although his servants kept persuading him to withdraw, he was unwilling to leave.
Because the Sentinels were coming endlessly. He witnessed the buildings collapsing in an instant. Groups of fleeing civilians turned into dust. Now he could only stand with the Xiyiqi warriors and devote his strength to fighting against the Sentinels.
"Plasma cannon fire!" the guard captain shouted.
The engine started, and a scorching flash exploded among the Sentinels. This blew a hole in the Sentinels, and several Sentinels twisted and slowly fell to the ground. This seemed to be effective, didn't it?
But soon these seemingly molten substances will gather together, crawl up and continue moving forward, as if they were just tripped by the powerful plasma cannon.
"Go to hell!" Linalu raised the gun barrel and pulled the trigger at the sentry in the distance. His hands had long been numb and unconscious, but his will told him that everything was not over yet.
At this moment, the top of his head suddenly exploded.
The protective shield was torn open by the Sentinel.
One man tackled him to the ground.
His vision briefly went dark.
When Linalu regained consciousness, the finance minister of Sadie was half lying beside him, her fish fin limp to one side, and a large bloody gash on her side.
"Did you save me?" asked Rinaru.
"I just pushed it."
There couldn't be a worse day than today, Rinalu thought to himself. After being saved twice by my lifelong enemy, Prince Alsiel, I was finally saved by the most hated pufferfish.
"Thank you..." Before he could say thank you, the killer whale pointed to someone not far away with his eyes, "You should thank him. He saved us again."
Linalu raised his head and saw a thin, black-haired man standing on the ruins of the collapsed building, like a ghostly shadow in the darkness.
He flashed by and disappeared into the shattered city streets.
"Shark tooth." Rinaru whispered.
The shield hummed.
How long have I been fighting?
Princess Alji felt exhausted. Alarms kept flashing in her sensory field of vision, and the armor of her mechanical cavalry was hissing because of the impact of the air wave.
The sentinel in front of her had broken through and decomposed her first layer of protective shield.
And her gun barrel is in the charging stage.
She could hear the guards calling her frantically over the communicator.
It's only a matter of time before it's broken down and eroded by the Sentinels.
Error prompts popped up one after another.
Algie stared at the alarm flashes in front of him. Is this the end?
Mother, Father, please look at me.
She shouted viciously: "I am Xiyiqi's daughter, come on!!"
Then, there was a flash.
The air waves rolled in.
The princess held her breath.
Before her eyes, a wave of energy like lightning filled everything in front of her, and the blown-up sentinels were like dark raindrops.
After that loud noise, several starships tore through the curtain of reality and appeared on the dome. Black and gold, she recognized them, they were the ships of the Mudin people.
Among the two Mudin ships, there was a beautiful silver-grey ship, like a delicate and slender silver blade. The logo of this ship appeared in her vision: [Zejin].
Then, her tears rolled down.
A figure appeared on the bow of the Zekin. A holographic image was also projected onto the sky.
At that moment, the princess' heart almost jumped out of her chest.
It was like an unreal dream, a vision she had seen before she died.
But it also means miracles.
Because she is Xiyiqi's hope.
"You have done well." The queen said, "Next, let's continue fighting."
