"The demons are approaching! The defense line is rising! Hurry!"

"Buzz"

On the shattered streets ravaged by the flames of war, the defensive shield like the broken energy shield of the battleship in the sky, at the command of the Sandar Command, rose from the edge of the Midtown and the Trade District, enveloping half of the city, like an inverted bowl-shaped barrier on the horizon, and the next moment it was propped up, the meteor fire shower summoned by the demon warlocks smashed right on the energy layer, splashing a halo like water waves.

This city shield is the standard for every large city of the Nova Legion, and it is also the last resort of the city's defense, and it will only be used on a large scale in the brutal war with the Kree, this thing is extracted from the earth's core for energy, so it is extremely stable, but it is also the last defense of the city, and it can only be used in the most critical times.

"Report the situation!"

Sitting in the command chair, Irani Rael was dizzy by the battle damage figures, and she simply threw it aside, rubbed her forehead, and said to the secretary: "You just need to tell me how bad the situation is." ”

The black-haired secretary is a creature that resembles a human, but judging by her sharp ears and slender build, she is more like a legendary elf, and when the commander asked, the secretary slid his finger on the screen several times and whispered:

"4 of the 12 magic side portals were destroyed in the battleship's outlaw raid, but the rest are still coming out of the demons and devils, according to the "Hell Creature Atlas" in our big database, the types of opponents are very diverse, and even the demons who are natural enemies of each other are fighting on the same battlefield, since we don't know much about the enemies on the magic side, so we can only judge..."

"The lifeform that calls himself the "Overlord" should essentially be a demon leader with higher authority, and judging from his energy level, he should belong to the highest level, with high authority enough to suppress the chaos and habits of demon instincts, which causes the demon army under his command to be more combative and destructive..."

The secretary cautiously glanced at the centurion's face, as Irani Rael was called "Centurion", not a nickname, but her senior position in the Nova Legion, which could only be filled by soldiers who were strong enough individually or experienced enough to manage.

Irani belongs to the latter, and in a state of war, nothing seems to be able to defeat her, although in the usual management, she seems a little indecisive and a little unnecessarily merciful, but once in the war, she exudes a temperament that is enough to convince everyone.

But now, this adult's mood is obviously extremely bad.

"Keep reading!"

She said with a cold face, and the secretary continued:

"50% of the outskirts of the city have fallen, the trade district, the garden district and the embassy district have almost all been taken over by the demons, and after the city shield was raised, the civil magistrate counted the remnants of the city... It is a pity that in the first wave of attacks, we lost at least a fifth of our people. ”

"Click"

Irani Rael's fists clenched, how long had it been since Xandal had suffered such a loss, and her heart tightened at this moment, and after a moment, she asked in a bitter voice:

"That overlord, what the hell are you looking for?"

"I don't know. ”

The secretary replied helplessly: "He didn't say what he wanted in the declaration of war, and the four prisoners who had just been sent to Chien prison were very stubborn, they were reluctant to reveal anything about it, and the most strange thing was that we didn't find anything of value in the belongings they were carrying." ”

"So, this could be a tactical fraud?"

Irani Rael breathed a sigh of relief, and she turned to look at the secretary, "Tina, do you think we should start a conversation with him?"

"Ms. Rael, actually, the communications department has been trying to get in touch with that overlord, but unfortunately, he doesn't want to talk to us at all, and every time we talk, he just toughens our demands that we hand over Quill and what he has, and doesn't have any substantive promises that he will stop the invasion after we hand it over. ”

The secretary reached out and opened a satellite observation map in front of Ilani Rael's eyes, and she pointed to one of them and said:

"According to the energy fluctuations, in the demon-occupied area, they are arranging some magic arrays of unknown significance, no one knows what will happen after these magic circles are activated, but it is clear that the overlord is ready to fight a protracted war, unless we take the initiative to hand over Quir, the peace negotiations we are looking forward to will not be able to start at all. ”

Erani Rael rubbed the corners of her eyes, sat down in her commanding seat, and after a moment she opened her eyes and looked at the absolutely grim form of war before her, and she asked in a low voice:

"How long will it take for support from the Vanguard Army to arrive?"

"They have completed their last jump, and a total of 232 battleships will arrive in 1 hour. ”

The secretary's answer finally soothed Irani Rael's face, and she breathed a sigh of relief and gave a new order:

"Get the last of Xander's ships ready, since he doesn't want to talk, let's divide the high and low on the battlefield! After 1 hour, we will start to fight back! Even if we pay the price of destroying half of the city, we must drive these demons out of our planet!"

"Also, start torturing those four guys right away!"

Irani Rael's face was covered with frost: "We must find out if they have anything in their hands that can threaten Xandar!

"Commander, this is... This is a violation of human rights law!"

At this moment, the secretary Tina advised: "If it is known that you gave this order, you will most likely be questioned by the Judge Advocate General!"

"Tina! It's time for war... There's not so much mercy to talk about!

"Yes!"

At the same time, in the half of the city where Xandar had fallen, Cyber sat on the ruins of a destroyed opera house, the thunderous scythe in his arms, and he watched the demon sorcerers not far away recuperate the last soul draining circle, with which he could quickly absorb the remaining souls from the ruins of Xandal, which had destroyed most of them.

These souls will serve as food for the newborn demonic worms and imps to rapidly expand the forces of the already ruined hell.

Beside Cyber, a shadow angel with black body, wings on his back, and a war spear in his hand guarded there, the most powerful creature in the dark space that was now only one-tenth of its heyday, the original archangel Gabriel who was infused with dark energy by Dormammu himself, and now one of the three people under Cyber's command.

She was taciturn and extremely submissive, but Cyber knew that there was still a heart in this guy's heart that was unwilling to give in.

"When Dormammu was in control of the dark space, I didn't see you disobey his opinion... When it's my turn to be in charge here, you'll start disobeying..."

Cyber whispered:

"My demons told me that you could have captured the Sandals before they took Quell, but you let him go, tell me, Gabriel, do you think I'm cowardly, that I can't live without you now, or that I don't deserve to be called your master?"

The Shadow Angel, who stood in place like a sculpture, did not speak, but the raised head and the calm look on her face represented her hostility.

"Good... You're still disobedient, aren't you?"

Cyber shook his head, and a dark blue flame floated out of his palm, quickly covering the surface of Gabriel's body, and began to burn in an instant.

"There is no need for a disobedient dog to exist! If you still have the consciousness to return to your heavenly mountain, don't forget to say hello to your villain master for me, and let him eat whatever he wants, play whatever he wants... His days were numbered. ”

Cyber could hear the wail of the fallen angel in his soul, the ultimate shadow of the soul ignited by the flames, ten thousand times more painful than tearing the soul apart, but he just calmly watched as her form was destroyed little by little, incinerated, and finally turned into dust under his feet.

Represents the last being named Gabriel.

"Childish!"

Cyber snorted, withdrawing his gaze, letting the ashes be blown away by the wind.

"The Bat Knight saw that Quill had been sent away from Xandar, Sim! to find him and bring him and the Cosmic Orb back..."

He stood up, thunder and lightning leaping over his body, he looked at the yellow barrier rising in the distant city, and he whispered:

"I will shape my legion here, and I will wait for the news of your victory. ”

"Whew!"

Behind him, a demon dragon flapped its wings and rushed into the sky, speeding in the direction of Chien Prison, behind him, dozens of huge dragons carrying the most elite demonic warriors followed, and everywhere they went, there were only burning ashes.

In the very center of the cosmic asteroid gravel belt, not far from Xander, stands the last resort of the Sandar civilization to exile felons, a huge steel prison suspended in the center of the gravel belt.

It is said that this small city-sized prison has supervised more than 100,000 criminals of all kinds, from petty theft to heinous serial murders, and even some political prisoners, who have been kept here for the rest of their lives.

The most awesome thing about Chien Prison is that the gravel belt on its perimeter blocks all large flying machines that try to enter it, and the prison itself is defenses strong enough to destroy any small flying objects that sneak into it, theoretically speaking, this prison is impossible to breach, in fact, from the moment it was established until now, no one has ever been able to escape from here.

Today, the prison welcomes its new guests.

"Get in!"

"Bang"

Dressed in yellow prison clothes, Quill was rudely pushed into a small cell, next to him was a frustrated Rocket Raccoon and a tree Groot, who didn't know what grief was, and to his right, the green-skinned woman who didn't say a word.

"Oh!

Rocket Raccoon jumped up and down and scolded: "Hell, Nova Legion! Hell, I have nothing to do with Groot, why should we be tried as war criminals!"

"My name is Groot!"

Groot's eyes widened as he looked at Rocket Raccoon, who was saying the same sentence over and over again, but it seemed that only Rocket could understand what the Tree Man was saying.

"War criminals are war criminals, we will be executed, we will be shot, we will be burned! Oh my God, I can't die here! I will escape!"

After saying that, the manic rocket raccoon began to frantically search for something to use in the cell, and behind it, the tree man still glared and asked:

"My name is Groot?"

"Death is the worst thing, it's all over! Oh my God, don't bother me, Groot, let me find out if there's anything that works, ah!!

The raccoon clutched at his hair, as if his patience had reached the limit, and he screamed frantically, clutching at the bars of his cell like a little devil:

"One second I thought I could get rich, and the next second we were going to die because of everything you fooled about!

Frustrated, Quill said without raising his head:

"It's the thing I gave you... But you lost it too, didn't you? It's all over..."

"Dangchang"

A crisp voice sounded, and Quill jerked his head up, and saw the silver-gray cosmic spirit ball smashing on the ground under his feet, and his eyes widened at the same time as the rocket raccoon and the green-skinned woman, and when they turned around, they saw the tree Groot greeting them with a smirk:

"My name is Groot?"
