The return voyage was not all smooth sailing.

In fact, since the beginning of the return journey of Blood Pupil and Brunt, they have been constantly harassed. Whenever they break away from the jump, some powerful mechanical creatures appear. These mechanical creatures use a special frequency fluctuation to cut off the shuttle's jump system, preventing mercenaries from escaping, and then attacking the shuttle from all directions.

Some of them are huge, like small mountains, while others are small, like tennis balls. But all of them have great destructive power. As their artillery fire rages, even the reinforced battering shields are rapidly dissolving.

There was no doubt that any one of their attacks would be enough to destroy an entire city below the Third Realm.

This kind of strength is enough to start a war outside the Second Realm. But here, it's just a harassment.

The battle broke out suddenly, and then it ended suddenly. Although the incoming mechanical creatures are very powerful, they are still far behind the elite mercenaries of the human race. In the entire battle, only one meteorite-level mercenary was injured by the enemy's concentrated fire, and all of them were unharmed.

But after the battle, the mercenaries found that although there was no loss of personnel, the propulsion system of the shuttle was attacked, and the intact part could only provide one-third of the power.

As a result, they have to spend more time on the return journey and suffer more harassment.

"It's a Sejest."

In the bridge, Brut looked at a piece of mechanical wreckage the size of a speck of dust, and said with a serious face. It was this little guy who sneaked up on the propulsion system of the shuttle, not to mention its small size, but in fact it has a series of latent abilities such as light offset and energy shielding, so that no one has ever discovered it in battle. If it weren't for the intuition of the most sturdy blood pupils who felt the crisis, they would probably have been succeeded by this little guy.

"Sailist?" Blood Pupil repeated in confusion. "Why are they attacking us?"

"You don't know what to do?" Brut couldn't laugh or cry. But he patiently explained. "They are the targets of our attack this time. A country of silicon-based civilizations. It has been evaluated above, and it feels that their civilization has a great similarity with our mechanical civilization. If we can occupy their countries, we can use our resources as quickly as possible to build our war system. ”

"Obviously, they knew our intentions in advance, and they intercepted us halfway. In order to stop us from making peace and buy more time. ”

"Oh." Blood Pupil nodded. But the look was still indifferent.

War is not a one-man business. Even if the existence of the Space Warrior breaks the traditional pattern of warfare, a kingdom battle still requires a lot of resources and manpower.

What if these guys procrastinate themselves? Will the cosmic mercenaries stop there?

That's absolutely impossible.

Blood Pupil believed that even if the two of them could not return to Van Xelt as scheduled, the human armed forces would still attack on time. Even if the win rate will decrease as a result.

Because humanity can't afford to wait any longer. The blood pupil knew better than anyone how urgent the speaker outside was.

Thinking of this, Blood Pupil glanced at the busy bridge and asked. "Is there a way to recover?"

"Nope!" A mercenary in charge of checking for faults stood up and replied, looking frustrated. "These guys are obviously more familiar with mechanics than we are. They were completely destroyed, and all but the part you were protecting was completely depleted. It takes a lot of time to replace it. ”

The shuttle comes with a nano repair system, but it is obviously no longer able to deal with such damage.

"Then give it up!"

Blood Pupil said without hesitation that he had an extraordinary determination to wander between life and death all year round. The decision was made in a split second.

"Group members into groups. Those who have the ability to lead people to jump are the core, forming twenty squads. Take as much as you can, and if you can't take it away, Brut and I will deal with it. ”

"But......" The mercenary suddenly became anxious. Human beings still have a habit of relying on spaceships for navigation. Without the spaceship, they always feel insecure. What's more, there is still a lot of return range, and there is no spaceship. Are they going to live in the void day and night?

Without food, water, and energy, even if it can be supported. And how to deal with the endless harassment?

However, Brut resolutely agreed with the blood pupil and said coldly. "This is an order, execute it immediately."

"Understood!" The mercenary struck a snort. Hurriedly saluted and withdrew.

The mercenaries on the shuttle were busy with their provisions, armor and portable systems. Captained by planetary-level mercenaries, they follow behind Blood Pupil and Brunt.

Without the shuttle, they can only rely on these strong men for the next journey.

Blood Pupil was very satisfied with the efficiency of the mercenaries, and when he saw that the team had been assembled, he easily crushed the shuttle with a force field. led everyone into subspace.

The rest of the journey was naturally more tense, because there was no connection with the shuttle, and both Blood Pupil and Brut showed their maximum speed, and sometimes even risked breaking into anti-space to make long jumps, which not only increased the speed, but also made the Celestes lose the target of the ambush.

No, in fact, without the shuttle, their journey was almost smooth, except for one harassment when they took a break to recuperate. After all, people are not steel, except for the strong above the planetary level, most meteorite-level mercenaries still need to replenish and rest. Otherwise, even if you go back, don't even think about fighting immediately.

After more than a month of travel, it only took seven days to return, and the blood pupil once again stepped into the range of Van Keselt. Buzz had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Blood Pupil and the others step out of the void, a smile of relief appeared on his face full of flesh.

"Hah...... I thought you guys were going to be late. ”

"It's a little trouble." The blood pupil replied expressionlessly. "But it doesn't affect anything."

"That's right." Buzz smirked, and the horizontal flesh on his face was full of hideousness. "Don't try to stop us with anything. This is the footsteps of humanity. ”

As he spoke, he pointed back. "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the other leaders. This time, like us, you'll need to bring someone to attend. There are some plans that you have to know"

"Yes." Blood Pupil nodded, following in Buzz's footsteps.

The group quickly walked through the streets of Van Xelt, and along the way, the blood pupil saw that many aliens had gathered around the human stronghold, pointing fingers at the entry and exit of the humans.

He couldn't help but wonder a little. "Isn't it too flamboyant? Why so many people? ”

"In the Second Realm, there is very little chance of a sneak attack. You'll know the truth in a moment. Buzz said without looking back. The tone was full of confidence. "But this time we have been preparing for a long time, and we will definitely not fail."

With that, Buzz walked into a spherical building with his blood pupils. Soon, the blood pupil saw a group of mercenaries sitting or standing with flat expressions.

It's all stellar!!

The blood pupils shrank, and the heart was slightly cold. (To be continued......)
