Chapter 18: Retreat and Pursuit (II)
The meeting is over.
All the cronies had retired, and the empty hall was filled with only the Grand Commander on the throne and the wise man of Vicklas standing at his side.
Facing his chief thinker, Sagusnoch's attitude was much softer, and he slowly asked, "Is there any news from the royal court?" ”
"Your Excellency, the Great Elder of Bryllium Longster has agreed to use his influence to lobby the Council of Elders and the Grand Commanders of the Royal Court to send troops, and no matter what, the Imperial Legion cannot be allowed to step into the territory of the Royal Court!" Viklas replied,
Sagusnoch relaxed slightly: "Very good, as long as a third of the elders support us, this war will end here, the Imperial Legion is strong, but they will not risk fighting with us on two fronts!" ”
Viklas sighed: "The troops we brought out this time are not weak, but it's a pity that we lost too much in the battle to exterminate the 'Frost and Snow' cluster, otherwise we would still be able to compete with the Empire's army this time." ”
Although they had learned the news in advance and made full preparations, the combat power of the main army of the empire was not fake! Just the small top-secret detection fleet that surrounded and annihilated the empire, they had already paid a lot of price, and none of the elite powerhouses who participated in the battle, including Elder Gaimuralqi, who led the team, could not come back!
But the next battle to encircle and annihilate the "Frost and Snow" cluster is the most fatal! In the face of hundreds of thousands of desperate Imperial fleets, the Grand Commander's Department paid a heavy price to wipe out the Empire's first-class legions!
Therefore, in the face of the Imperial Counterattack Legion, which was more than ten times larger, and in the face of Marshal Xue Cangyun, who was known as the "Butcher of the Star Sea", they did not have any idea of confronting it head-on now, because there was no need to guess the outcome of the battle.
Sagusnoch shook his head with a wry smile: "Yes, the power of the Anthropocene Realm is indeed strong, even in the future, we have mastered the royal court, we will not be able to fully confront them, so to achieve the great plan of our rejuvenation, we need to unite with the strength of other civilizations!" Only in this way can we effectively suppress the frenzied expansion of human civilization. ”
"Inform Mikva, who is in the rear, that if the Imperial legions really catch up, discard some of the baggage and let it lead the fleet of its headquarters to break off! Rest assured, as long as it is able to hold back the enemy, no matter how big the losses, it will be adequately compensated afterwards! ”
"Yes! Excellency. ”
……
The arrival of the Imperial Legion was much faster than the Grand Commander's estimate.
"Leave the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers alone and concentrate their fire on their center, where the best of the Gambino are located." In the flagship main control room, Feng Linbo gritted his teeth and ordered coldly.
In the dark starry sky, more than 100,000 elite warships with pitch black, the bow engraved with the golden dragon coat of arms, and the murderous body were like a torrent of steel, and began to launch a full-speed assault on the camp of the Gambinos!
In the center of the group, there were thousands of silver-gray warships of different shapes, much larger, and covered in multiple blue-gold protective force fields under a thicker energy shield. The emblem on the bow of the ship is a shocking-looking blood-colored dragon head badge.
At this time, the large ejection port on the side of the battleship had been opened, and the light blue annular acceleration force field was slowly taking shape.
Accompanied by the majestic and calm command sound inside the hull, more than ten spheres exuding dazzling brilliance appeared from the catapult port, and under the action of the force field, they left the battleship at a dazzling speed and entered the void.
The color of the ball of light varies, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and so on, and within each ball of light there is a figure exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
That's the Empire's elite ability legion!
Each Adept has multiple Tier 4 abilities, equipped with high-grade Memory Alloy Light Armor, personal energy shields, lightsabers with incredible lethality, portable anti-gravity thrusters, and can move freely in the void, their targets are enemy Adepts, mech legions, carrier-based space fighters, etc., and can also strike enemy warships if necessary.
The Imperial Legion was extremely efficient, thousands of warships were launched at the same time, tens of thousands of Adepts entered the void with every breath, and a moment later, a full twenty legions of Adept warriors had all been ejected.
As soon as the Adepts left the ship, they lined up in the void and outflanked the enemy Legions.
The admiral, who was holding back his fire, no longer had any scruples, and used all his strength to attack fiercely, and two-thirds of the Alien Legion left the ship to fight, causing the Gambino people on the opposite side to retreat, and the two hastily set up interception lines soon collapsed.
With the strength that the Grand Commander now has, it would not be a problem to completely eat this legion, but it will take long enough, and the main force of the Imperial Legion following behind may arrive at any time, and they will only suffer at that time.
After some painful weighing, it barely suppressed its desire to stop and fight the other party, and only ordered half of the fleet and Yanyin warriors to be left behind and entangled Feng Linbo's legion, and the remaining strength followed it to retreat at full speed, striving to escape back to the royal headquarters before the main army of the empire was encircled.
……
"It's not a pleasant place!"
In the fully enclosed cell, Xiao Junling looked at the surrounding environment and muttered with some headaches.
He is still staying in a special cage, but his hands and feet have been covered with heavy shackles, which greatly restricts his freedom of movement, not to mention, the shackles even carry a strange magnetic field, so that the energy operation in his body has been absolutely suppressed.
If you can't use your abilities and can't cultivate, you can't do anything, you can only eat and wait for death.
"How long will we live?" Yu Xin'er leaned beside him and asked with a blank expression, the light in her beautiful big eyes dimmed, showing that she was desperate for the future prospects.
Fu Jianfeng was not by his side at the moment, but was taken away by them, saying that he was going for treatment, but Xiao Junling did not expect that he would have the opportunity to see him.
Outside the cage, there was an iron-gray cell about ten meters high and nearly 100 meters long and wide, looking out through the half-foot-thick railing, several balls of purple light were lazily suspended in the air, weakly sprinkling the light to every corner of the room, and several low-level Gambino soldiers followed a fixed route, patrolling back and forth.
In addition to them, there were a number of cages in the entire cell, each containing three or five different human abilities. Without exception, they are all shackled.
Even in his current best state, trying to escape from here with his bare hands was a pipe dream, but he clearly remembered that when he was sent in, the cage passed through a total of three heavy gates, each of which was guarded by a large number of troops.
If he wants to get out of such a place safely, unless he can fully recover the strength of his previous life, it will be possible to kill these guys and get rid of that Demuchi's interception.
