Chapter 18: The Gates of Hell

After the First Pandora War, there was a legend among the Na'vi that as long as the Omatikaya tribe did not fall, Ava would live forever. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In this way, the Omatikaya tribe has become the Ava guardian tribe in the minds of the Na'vi people. They are the only tribe that revolves around Ava. Here, even the darkest starless nights have a light that is like day, and Ava brings them a life that never sleeps.

The Na'vi people from all over Pandora admired the civilization of the Omatikaya tribe, and they came from far and wide to bow down to Ava and offer their supreme loyalty to the shaman.

But all this may be a flash in the pan, and war may come tomorrow.

Jack stood on the new tree of the Omatikaya tribe, the hole in the trunk forming a natural window, and he felt the breeze passing through it, quietly looking down at the crowd still surrounding Ava. This revelry has not ceased for ten years, with them singing, dancing, praying loudly, and happily enjoying the food and wine that Pandora has given them.

The earthlings are fighting fiercely, and the Na'vi are still drinking and singing.

Jack was distraught at the thought of this, and he slammed his fist into the trunk of the tree, his chest heaving violently, and his facial muscles tensing from clenching his teeth. A fire of ignorance burned in his heart, and he really wanted to roar at these people whose hearts were blinded by the vanity of prosperity in front of him.

But they're just going to put everything on the Phantom Knight......

But the Hippogriff is dead. Jack felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his fists clenched until the joints turned white.

The majestic Homeland Tree guarded Ava loyally like the god of war, and he looked out on all directions, keeping away all the petty ones.

Marvel at the Homestead Tree, you stand like a giant beside Ava. Tell me: Can we really win this time?

As Jack thought to himself, a pair of warm and soft hands gently caressed the back of his hand, and this warmth flowed from the back of his hand to his heart, and in an instant he felt all his troubles drift away.

"Nitley......" he called softly.

"What are you bothering about?"

"The earthlings are back."

"I know, it's nothing. We can kick them out of Pandora, as we did last time. ā€

"That's what bothers me." Jack's mood suddenly became worse because no one could understand him.

He remembered his conversation with Nome again. Earth's technology is so far superior to that of the Na'vi that they don't understand what that means. Men with bows and arrows may be terrified of enemy crossbows, but they will never imagine the power of machine guns, because they are too much to imagine. The gap between technology and productivity is a chasm that is difficult to bridge.

"Even you think so......" Jack shook his head in a somber mood as he shook Nitley's hand away, something he hadn't done in ten years.

Nitri looked at her husband worriedly, and she stepped forward with concern and whispered, "Is this any different?" ā€

"Last time I had Ava's help, and I could rely on ancient legends to unify the Na'vi. Now that the Griffin is dead, the Phantom Knight is gone. ā€

"The griffin is dead, but you're still there. Ancient legends, just around the corner! Nitri took a step forward, her big eyes too bright for Jack to look at.

"Ava will help us with ......"

Nitri is convinced of this, as she is learning from her mother how to communicate with Ava. She could feel the infinite power in Ava's melodious singing. There was another power that puzzled her, a power that was about to move, and it was hidden beneath Ava's peaceful power, or rather...... was suppressed under it.

She had tried to communicate with this force, but each time she was so frightened by its horror that she did not dare to tell anyone, she was afraid that she would lose her ability to communicate with Ava.

"We can't pin all our hopes on her." Jack shook his head, "I don't doubt Ava's ability to mobilize animals and plants. But the last time the war was won by surprise, and this time we no longer have this advantage. ā€

"Don't do that, Jack. We need Phantom Knight, not a hero who is already in his twilight. Nitri looked at Jack worriedly, "Why are you so afraid of the last time you were able to face the war?" ā€

"Because I have nothing to lose last time." Jack dodged Nitley's gaze.

Nitley looked disappointed, she sank into her consciousness and said softly, "Maybe we really should rush over like Babru." ā€

"That would only make things worse." Jack asserted negatively, "Tomorrow I'll go to the gates of hell, and I'll try to make contact with them." ā€

"They might kill you!" Nitri snapped up that she hated her husband for having no regard for his own safety.

"Don't worry, I'll use a human body to go over, and if I don't come back after going all day until it's time to sleep, can you help me press the emergency stop?" Jack said with a smile.

------------------------------------------

It's been a long time since Jack has flown on his own Banshee Winged Beast, and ever since he acquired the Lioneagle Winged Beast, he'd loved the feeling of being taller, faster, stronger. But his powerful companion was sacrificed, and he could only use this petite winged beast to complete the mission to enter the gates of hell.

He had already ordered the accompanying troops to return. Alone above the Gates of Hell, he saw four Scorpion gunships rising up and approaching him.

He ignored the steel equipment and circled around the gates of hell. He saw a different feeling, and for the first time in ten years, it was the first time.

The gates of hell are like a cancer growing from Pandora, and it is out of step with its surroundings. The brown earth, the gray space airfield, and the charred buildings all seem to be silently challenging the surrounding green.

Now the whole hell gate is like a big construction site, the charred buildings have been torn down, and new ones have been erected. The towers were back in action, the muzzle of the black hole aimed at him as he flew into the air. The land outside the city walls was cleared of a mine belt up to 100 meters wide, and no wild beast could rush through it. What shocked Jack even more was that the earthlings were electrifying the outermost barbed wire.

These 9 square kilometers of land are the foundation of the people of the earth. Jack found that this time the earthlings were not in a hurry to open the mine, and they were filling in the large pit and building factories and barracks on it instead.

Jack remembered the scene when he first arrived at the gates of hell and saw Noam, and he still remembered it vividly.

Nome was wearing a plaid shirt with sleeves rolled up to the crook of the elbow. After listening to the veteran's introduction to the gates of hell, he said lightly: "Actually, it's not that evil. The full name of this base is: RDA Extrasolar Colony-01. It is the only large base for our mining activities on Pandora. Because human beings live here but are surrounded by poisonous air and all kinds of ferocious creatures, it is like living in hell, so everyone jokingly calls this place the gate of hell. ā€

Now this is not the gate of hell for humans.

This is about to become the Gates of Hell for the Na'vi.
