Chapter 70: Slaughtering the Stars (Part II)
In the face of the siege of the nine-headed powerful Yanyin warriors, Xiao Junling did not seem to be so nervous, and the levitating flywheel climbed again at great speed, avoiding most of the attacks.
The energy shield was finally hit, rippling like water ripples under the force of the rage, but it failed to collapse after all, demonstrating the excellent quality of the Empire's military technology products. Of course, this is also the reason why several guys are too seriously injured and their strength is greatly damaged.
With a stroke of the lightsaber in Xiao Junling's hand, he took over the attack of the five Yanyin warriors and handed over the remaining four to Yu Xin'er. After a short and intense exchange, the heads of the guys were reduced to a pile of corpses.
"Use this!" He opened a bottle of energy-restoring potion and handed it to her.
Yu Xin'er, who was slightly pale, smiled, took it and drank it all. At the same time, the pressure of cleaning up the four guys who are stronger than her is still a little greater, and the energy in her body has almost been exhausted after a dozen breaths.
This precious potion of 2,000 energy points can restore her energy to full power in ten minutes, but it is not so obvious for high-level abilities, unless they are using higher-level potions.
"Alright, let's go find the next target!" She inspected her physical condition and said to Xiao Junling with satisfaction.
From yesterday to now, after continuous killing, Yu Xin'er's body has finally regenerated the optimization point, which made Xiao Junling quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Even if something happens, I'll be able to find out the reason when I go back.
……
The Nightmare Star Field, the main hall of the royal court of Gambino.
"Is there still no sign of retreat from the Imperial Legion?" The bitter voice of the Grand Elder of Dragontaunos echoed through the hall.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Kirklar's voice was full of helplessness,
"Although the high-level of the Huaxia Empire has decided to withdraw its troops and make a truce, under the obstruction and delay of some hardliners, the official order has still not been issued, and it may have to wait a few more days!"
Timnart said worriedly: "Even if this order reaches the Imperial Legion, with that marshal's temperament, he will definitely find a way to delay it for a while before it is executed, our people...... I don't know how many casualties there will be, hey! ”
Elder Troniaqi gritted his teeth and said, "That devil-like Xue Cangyun knew that it was impossible to have time to attack the royal court, so he began to slaughter our people madly, and in just a few days, almost all the provinces adjacent to the direct territory of the royal court were turned into ruins by that bastard!" Those are the richest and most developed star fields in us! ”
"So, what can we do now?" Kirklaal smiled bitterly, "Do you want to send troops immediately to engage the Imperial Legions and stop their atrocities?" ”
The elders couldn't help but be silent.
The Imperial Legion voluntarily gave up the decisive battle against the elite of the royal court, and instead raced against time to massacre civilians on a large scale, sparing no effort to destroy the foundations of the Gambino civilization. They are angry, but they are helpless!
They have done this a thousand times in the countless years that have passed, including the recent raids on Imperial territory, where large swathes of the starfields have been plundered and slaughtered by their fleets. But less than two months later, the same thing happened to them. This kind of "present world newspaper" is indeed not so pleasant.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the Star Slayer operation, the Great Elder had imagined dispatching the elite forces of the royal court to stop the actions of the Imperial Legions, but he did not dare to take action after all, because it did not know whether Xue Cangyun had arranged any back-up hands, and waited for them to be sent to the door.
After all, there is not much left of the royal court's family foundation, and it is good to be able to save more, the successive defeats a few days ago have made all the high-level royal court have bred the psychology of fear of war and avoiding war, and the imperial legions do not take the initiative to come over to find trouble, they are actually a little happy in their hearts.
Therefore, sacrificing some territories and clansmen in exchange for the peace of the royal court does not seem to be an unacceptable result in the eyes of these high-ranking people. The clansmen have died a lot, and they will always recover in a few years, anyway, let those young people work hard to survive. But the vital interests of the elders cannot be affected in the slightest!
Grand Elder Ronktaunos hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "In this eventful time, the royal court must endure humiliation, preserve its strength, and wait for the opportunity to recover, but the atrocities of the Imperial Legion cannot be ignored!" Why don't you do this, and immediately issue an order to our clansmen who are hiding in the Empire, and let them work harder, so that the order to withdraw the army will be issued as soon as possible! ”
"In addition, we may be able to send an envoy to try to contact Xue Cangyun, as long as he is willing to stop the star slaughter behavior and evacuate as soon as possible, we can give him a very rich reward, enough for him to benefit from for the rest of his life! What do you guys think? ”
Naturally, the elders had no objections.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the current situation in the royal court is difficult, it is not all good news!" Grand Elder Ronktaunos paused for the scepter in his hand, and continued:
"With our reckless treatment, Sagusnoch's injury has been stabilized, and on the side of the Northern Hell Imperial Palace, His Royal Highness Prince Baldimero has sent a message that His Majesty the Great Emperor has agreed to our request and will soon send those few strange treasures!"
"And His Highness also personally guaranteed that in a maximum of three days, the legions of the Northern Hell Empire will launch a large-scale offensive on the border line, attracting the attention of the high-level of the Huaxia Empire, prompting them to recall Xue Cangyun as soon as possible and concentrate on dealing with the provocation of the Northern Hell Civilization."
"May the glory of the great god bless our people forever!" All the elders had relieved smiles on their faces.
……
Imperial capital.
Located in the middle of the southern continent of the planet, Fengjiang City is home to many imperial celebrities.
At this time, in front of an antique-style villa, all kinds of luxury flying cars took off and landed in an endless stream, and dozens of uniformed security guards nervously maintained order at the scene.
Groups of carefully dressed guests, wearing white flowers on their chests, and solemn expressions, walked out of the car one after another, and most of them were young men and women. They didn't talk much after getting out of the car, and when they met their acquaintances, they only exchanged glances briefly, and then walked silently towards the gate.
In the main hall of the villa, the eyes are full of plainness, the mourning hall has already been arranged, and on the portrait in the middle, a handsome and handsome young man with a faint smile on his face quietly stares at the busy crowd below, and the straight general's uniform is adorned with several golden medals.
Everyone walked to the middle of the hall in an orderly manner, bowed three times to the man in the portrait under the command of the master of ceremonies, and then silently stepped aside.
On the side of the mourning hall, an old man in black sat on a chair, although his expression was sad, he still couldn't hide the faint killing majesty hidden between his eyebrows, his spine was straight, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was calm and powerful.
Several middle-aged and elderly people with the same status sat around him, talking in low voices, and they didn't seem to have low status.
"Lao Yang, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn and change!" Qin Weigeng, who was sitting beside him, sighed,
"The power structure above will soon change, and you will need to take on greater responsibilities for the sake of the empire and our ideals."
Yang Yingxuan, a first-class general of the empire, the supreme commander of the Southwest Military Region of the empire, is a long-time friend of the marshal, and the deceased on the portrait of the mourning hall is his grandson: Yang Jingxuan. Major General of the Imperial Special Forces, the leading figure among the officers of the Young Zhuang Sect, went to the Savage Star Domain to perform a top-secret mission for more than two years, and when he returned to the Imperial mainland after completing the mission a few months ago, he was targeted by the Ambush Legion of the Gambino because of the leak of his itinerary, and he was defeated and fell!
After a few months, this matter is no longer a secret in the upper echelons of the military, but it was not until a few days ago that Xue Cangyun really confirmed the news of Yang Jingxuan's death and sent someone to inform Yang Yingxuan.
For this general who died young, the military department gave a very high courtesy, not only posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general, the imperial jade pattern dragon soul medal, but also held a high-level memorial service, and the Minister of Defense personally came to the door to mourn!
Yang Yingxuan pursed his lips and stared at his old friend for a while, before he said slowly: "Jing Xuan is my only grandson, his parents had an accident that happened unexplained back then, and the military has not been able to find out the truth, and now that he is gone, you still haven't been able to give me a clear explanation!" ”
"The surname is Qin, since you are still willing to recognize me as a friend, then tell me all the truth about your knowledge, otherwise we won't know each other in the future!"
The marshal smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Old Yang, aren't you embarrassing me?" The military's secrecy regulations are there, and even I can't violate them in the slightest, this matter...... I really can't help it! ”
"the secrecy regulations!" Yang Yingxuan slapped the armrest of the seat heavily, and Tie Qing scolded angrily:
"You don't want to make an exception? Okay, you tell me the truth, and then shoot me again! So you don't foul and I'm dead! Everyone is happy, what do you think? ”
"This ......" Qin Weigeng looked helplessly at the few colleagues around him who were good friends, hoping that someone among them would speak out to solve the siege.
But then, something happened that stunned everyone present!
A white shadow rushed out of the stabbing obliquely, rushed in front of the marshal at a dazzling speed, and then heard several crisp and loud slaps.
Qin Weigeng covered his cheeks, looked at the initiator in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.
It was a plain white, tall and beautiful woman, with white skin like snow, trimmed neck, bright eyes and bright teeth, indescribably beautiful and moving.
At this time, her pink fists were clenched, her eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and she glared at him viciously, as if she might pounce on him and tear him apart at any moment. Even if he is a dignified imperial marshal and minister of defense, he is a pivotal figure in the entire Xinghai World Realm!
Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the audience, and everyone's eyes were attracted.
