Chapter 8 The road ahead is bleak
At this critical moment.
"System Preparation."
An icy female voice of the system mechanic came.
"Linking."
Step by step, the elven assassin stopped, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils were gone, and he looked around with a pair of eyes full of whites, looking for the source of the sound.
"Start!"
As soon as the two words fell, Auston burst into a shout, and the enemy soldiers guarding him were knocked to the ground one by one before they could react, and the space suddenly became damp, and the thick dust under his feet became a little sticky, and the ground began to accumulate water after a while.
All the enemies were surprised by this strange change, and involuntarily looked down, Auston accurately seized this fleeting only opportunity with a hundred battles, and ran in front of Vina in two steps, just pulled down Vina's hand, and a violent alarm filled the entire space of the power plant!
The water level skyrocketed, and the current was like a silverfish shuttling through the water, more and more, more and more.
Before the black-clothed soldiers could react, the electricity pierced their bodies, emitting a burning smell, and the thick armor was also pierced to create a dark hole with white smoke.
The water level continued to rise, and the current accumulated more and more, and a pair of steel wings appeared behind the armor of Auston and the others, and flew into the sky.
The only three remaining guards followed, the power station flashed red, and the warning sounds from the system were everywhere, and it wouldn't be long before there would be a full-blown explosion.
"Get out of here now!"
Auston rushed upwards with Vina in his arms, and before he could escape, a long whip suddenly wrapped around the ankle of one of the soldiers and pulled it downward, and before Vina could turn around, she heard a scream.
"Want to run? It's not that easy! ”
The elf rushed upwards with his strength at this moment, and violent electricity flowed everywhere in the humid air, and his flame form did not dare to use it in this dangerous environment, seeing that the momentum of the upward rush weakened, he shook his wrist, and the white bone whip in his hand went straight towards Vina, trying to pull her down.
Auston had been watching the formidable foe's every move, and when he saw this, he used his sword to pick the deadly whip away.
The elf's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness at this moment, and with one kick kicked one of his soldiers who was climbing up the wall and fleeing for his life, back into the water, stopping the fall, and then coming towards Vena and the others in a counterattack.
Vina was stunned for a moment, and the two guards beside her glanced at each other, saw the determination in each other's eyes, and immediately rushed towards the enemy.
The elves didn't expect it for a while, they couldn't avoid it, and they were hugged by one of the team members, and their body fell straight down, his face was hideous, and he wanted to get out of control, and his sharp nails were inserted into the guard's head, and when he pulled it out, he brought out the white and red brains.
The long whip in her hand swung at Vina, and the end instantly became hard and rushed towards her like an arrow, but was blocked again by one of the remaining guards in the middle of the way, and the arrow passed through the heart, and Vena was so frightened that she wanted to reach out and grab her to save her.
The guard's helmet opened automatically, revealing a thirteen or fourteen-year-old immature face, and the long arrow was drawn, bringing up a patch of blood, which hit Vina's face, and the snow-white hair, with the bright red blood, was particularly dazzling and eye-catching.
"Your Majesty, you must live!" After the guard finished speaking, one turned around and rushed towards the menacing elven below, shooting him into the water like a humanoid bomb.
"No!" Vena roared, and the tears that had been holding back in the corners of her eyes finally slipped down.
At the moment when the water splashed, the defense system of the hydropower station could no longer support it, and the shaking became more and more intense, and Auston held Vina in his arms, and the explosion blew the two of them far away......
A cool breeze blew, and in the faint glow of the moon, two scarred people could be seen lying in a large crater.
"Hiss......" A throbbing sound was heard.
Auston touched his head, slowly woke up, and looked around, the armor on his body was in tatters, his shield and long sword had broken and twisted, and he had turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron, and the flesh and armor were glued together and blurred.
Auston turned around and saw Vina not far away, ignoring his serious injuries, he quickly got up and shook it lightly: "Your Majesty? ”
Auston shuddered and put his finger on the wing of Vina's nose, feeling the breath, and feeling the breath, he was relieved.
"Hmm......" Vina muttered in pain, and Auston quickly crouched up and looked at her eagerly.
Vina woke up slowly, unfocused, blurry, and after a while, things in front of her became clearer, and she saw Auston's concerned face.
"Uncle Auston." Vina's voice was hoarse and dry, like torn cloth.
"How is Your Majesty feeling?"
Vina is supported by Auston. Slowly sat up, as if he had touched something in his palm, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was the "king's mark" that was originally worn on his neck.
Only by this time its chain had been broken, and a crack had appeared in the middle.
At the moment when the hydropower station completely exploded, it was the "King's Mark" that once again unfolded the protective barrier, protecting Vina and Auston from escaping, but it also had a rift of its own and had completely lost its effect.
Vena watched it clenched tightly in her hand, raised her head to look at the dim interstellar sky, desperately holding back tears burst down, she didn't cry when she learned of her father's death, she didn't cry when the territory of the Hanina galaxy was lost piece by piece, and she still didn't cry when she was betrayed by the alliance and life and death hung by a thread...... But in this situation, she really can't hold on anymore, she's just a girl who is only twenty years old.
Auston stayed by Vina's side, not comforting her, she had carried too many things these days, even if she was still immature as a king and did not do well enough, but there were enough.
It's been a long time.
Vina slowly stopped crying, she calmly looked at General Auston beside her, and then slowly looked up at the sky: "General Auston, I want revenge." ”
Vena looked down at the "King's Mark" in her hand. Her father is gone, her home is shattered, her supporters die to protect her, and even what her father left behind is destroyed.
“GY! Elves! ”
Vena's voice was full of hatred! She turned to look at Auston and asked helplessly, "Hanina... Can we go back now? ”
Auston held Vina's shoulders tightly and said loudly, "Your Majesty! We haven't completely lost yet, our home planet in the Hanina system is still there, the guards are still there, and the fleet is gone! But you, as the spiritual pillar of all, must not fall! As long as you're alive, there's hope for Hanina! ”
Vena was silent.
Although they escaped the pursuit of the elven killer, they are still in the alliance system, this is the enemy's territory, the news is closed, they don't know whether the elven rebels' plot has succeeded, how good those people in the alliance meeting are their comrades, how many are like them.
For now, the only way to do this is to hide it for the time being.
The two of them supported each other to walk in the wilderness, and found a dilapidated village to settle down, this may be the original indigenous ruins of those planets, and only the ruins of the original walls are long gone, and no one should come to such a hidden place.
