Chapter 255: The Retrograde Queen
Before the words fell, the second communication also came in, Shu Yungui's hurried voice sounded, and the situation on his side was not very good, but he still tried his best to stabilize his voice and said to Cornelies: "There are still millions of ninth-star people on Skye Island who need a new monarch to lead them, you are making a senseless sacrifice now, Corenerys, return immediately!"
A missile slashed through the porthole of the drone and collided with the Sky Island rebound defense weapon above Cornelies's head, and the entire body was violently tossed up and down by the strong air current, and Cornelies's forehead slammed against the main console, and the red blood immediately flowed down.
"Cornelies!"
Shu Yungui's voice sounded more anxious: "Obedient! Hurry back! Aren't you going back to Hope with me to see my hometown? Pull out the safety plug! Hurry!"
In the rapidly diving drone, Corneerys raised her head, a minute and thirty seconds had already passed, but Sky Island had not yet lifted off, she didn't know if it was because the island body had not yet regained its balance, or if someone was waiting for her to go back, only knowing that she was getting farther and farther away from Sky Island, she looked at the manual termination safety bolt that was close at hand, her eyes trembled and trembled, and finally she didn't pull it out.
The drone landed on the edge of the outer city through a dense attack, and it wasn't until the moment she hit the ground that Corneerys realized that the situation on the ground was even worse than she expected.
The Muse launched a general attack on humanity, it launched all the weapons on the entire ninth star, the inner and outer cities have been blown up, the sky island hovered in mid-air, and you can see that the defensive shield in one corner has cracked, but the overwhelming artillery fire is still bombarding it endlessly.
In addition to dealing with the constant falling shells from the sky, the refugees on the ground also had to endure the relentless attacks of the orcs, who pounced on the drones that had landed in advance, and reached in with their claws to drag out the people who had already entered the cabin and devoured them.
Because the bones stuck in the rear hatch, the hatch could not be closed, the drone could not take off for a long time, and seeing that Sky Island was about to return to its equilibrium, Corneerys knew that if she didn't take off at this time, she really couldn't go back.
She wiped the blood from her face with her sleeve and looked up at Sky Island a second before opening the hatch, she didn't know where Shu Yungui was at this time, but the only thing she knew for sure was that he would be back there soon.
That would be enough.
No longer hesitating, the rear hatch of the drone suddenly opened, and countless refugees crowded outside, everyone was eager to leave this ghost place with one foot, but Corneerys was the only one who walked against the surging crowd to the dangerous wilderness.
The ninth-star people who had hurried past her, the orcs who were slaughtering in the wilderness all looked at her, their bloody maws like deadly whirlpools, waiting for Corneerys to approach, waiting to engulf her.
Cornelies knew how nervous she was, her palms were covered with beads of sweat, her clenched lower lip was oozing blood, she thought she would flinch, but when the first orc rushed towards her, all fear instantly evaporated from this body, and only the courage inherited from the kings of the Laurener family held the hilt of the sword at the same time as her.
The long sword was unsheathed, the sharp blade slit the orc's throat, and in the dripping rain of blood, sensing that the fully loaded drone began to automatically close the rear hatch, the refugee sitting closest to the hatch stretched out his hand to her, shouting for her to hurry up.
But Cornelies didn't look back, because she knew that once she did, she wouldn't have the courage to hold on to the hilt of her sword anymore.
She rushed forward with the mechanical sound of the hatch closing, and behind her, the vertical take-off and landing drone rotors kicked off the wind and sand, and Corneerys rushed into the orc crowd with her sword in hand, without looking back.
Under the glow of sword light and blood, wrapped in wind and flames, her voice resounded through the ninth star.
"My name is Corneerys Lauren, from the Nineth-Star Ruler Laurenol family, my father, uncle, aunt, and all of my siblings were martyred in the battle against the Orcs, and from now on, I will be officially crowned as the twenty-seventh monarch of the Ninth Star!"
"My family was born in the midst of flames and hurricanes, my ancestors led all the citizens of the ninth star in the dark universe to build a new city-state, our will is stronger than steel, and the ninth star is immortal
Forever, you may be able to take our lives and destroy our homes, but you can't end the storm, you can't stop the fire, you can't melt the steel and iron, the sun of freedom and hope will rise again in the depths of this vast universe, and I will turn into a fire burning on a new star, shining on the vigorous continuation of human civilization that will never die."
The blade forward, Cornelies roared with blood with his sword.
"I'm right here! Come on!"
"The Laurener family vows to live and die with the Ninth Star!"
Among the more than 3 million people who survived the Ninth Star, only a few people witnessed this moment with their own eyes, and when they mentioned the twenty-seventh monarch of the Ninth Star to future generations, they often used the same adjective, that is, the retrograde queen.
What's more, he said that when he looked down from the drone, he only thought that the emaciated girl was as tall as a statue of the Holy Queen.
Thanks to Cornelies' unremitting efforts, the last drone carrying the refugees successfully landed on the island of Skye at the last moment when it broke away from the atmosphere of the ninth star, and at the same time, the crew responsible for transporting the power core also broke through the siege of the Muse under the protection of the torchbearer mecha and finally joined the island of Skye.
Without any waiting, the power core was activated immediately after entering the Sky Island energy module, and with the support of the power core, the largest weapon on the Sky Island of Tiadis - the light fusion particle cannon immediately entered the energy preload state.
Shu Yungui's soaked combat uniform had been dried by body temperature, he hurried to the command center before he had time to change his clothes, and looked at Lao Chen at first glance when he entered the door, behind Lao Chen, the ground monitoring radar was still constantly scanning, but the empty screen still showed that there were no living forms within a radius of at least ten kilometers outside the city.
The drone that Corneerys was flying in had uploaded precise coordinates after returning, and it was impossible for Corneerys to move ten kilometers in such a short period of time, and the answer to the question of whether she would survive or not was already obvious.
Shu Yungui's gaze dimmed instantly, and he didn't speak along with Zhu Xinyue and Cheng Sikong, who rushed over, until the commander in front of the main console stood up and reported to him loudly: "Commander, the light fusion particle cannon has completed energy storage and can be launched at any time!"
Chen Qianqian turned his head and said in a low voice, "Adjust the angle of the muzzle to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Yes!"
In the entire command center, except for the operator who was nervously debugging the final launch angle, everyone else was silent, Zhu Xinyue lowered her head and walked in front of Shu Yungui, clenched her fist and stretched out her fist in front of him.
Shu Yungui almost subconsciously stretched out his hand, and immediately a diamond-shaped piece of metal fell into his palm.
It was a gold-plated medallion, even if it was in the opposite direction, Shu Yungui still recognized at a glance that the relief on the medallion was the first queen, he held the medallion up, and under the queen's head, he saw a row of powerful words.
"Ninth Star Queen's Medal."
"It's the only thing she's left behind, and I think she must want to give it to you."
Zhu Xinyue's eyes were red, although she only had a few connections with Cornelies, but a fresh life dissipated in front of her eyes still made her very sad, and after she handed over the Queen's Medal to Shu Yungui, she went out with Jiang Ruzhou.
In the face of Cornelies's sacrifice, even Cheng Sikong, who has always looked down on life and death, did not speak, he patted Shu Yungui on the shoulder, but he couldn't think of words of comfort, this tragic sacrifice came too suddenly, so that no one was mentally prepared for this.
"Report, the angle of the fusion particle cannon has been calibrated, and the muzzle of the cannon has been locked."
Shu Yungui raised his head, and on the screen of the control center, he saw that the cannon muzzle hidden in the center of Sky Island was emitting a dazzling light, and it had locked the thinnest place of the Ninth Star Plate, and what was even more coincidental was that this coordinate was the place where the underground royal city and the immigration spaceship were located.
All cause and effect seem to have been predestined as early as a thousand years ago when the 09 spacecraft landed on the ninth star, it came from the distant ancient earth, and landed here, providing a clear direction to future generations.
Shu Yungui stepped on the command platform, and the light fusion particle cannon would cause immeasurable damage due to its huge power, so the launch method was a two-person double key
In the past, Shu Tongze and Chen Qianjin needed to authorize together, but now, Shu Tongze's biological key was replaced by Shu Yungui's.
Together with Chen Qianqian, he put his palm on the biological probe, and their living biological information will be converted into thirty sets of random number passwords generated in real time in the system, and in order to activate this string of passwords, both of them need to authorize each other at the same time.
This is a very complicated process, but for the long civilization of mankind, the time it takes to complete such a series of complex verification procedures is only a hydrogen and oxygen element that makes up the sea, when the verification is passed, the moment when the light fusion particle cannon crashes into the earth's crust with incomparable majestic energy, Shu Yungui raised the communication instrument and said loudly.
"All the members of Tiadis Skye take off their hats and stand upright!"
The sonorous sound of stepping on the ground sounded all over Sky Island, and people lowered their heads and listened to Shu Yungui's voice echoing in their ears.
"Salute to Queen Cornelies, the ninth-star queen who fought to the last moment for the continuation of the human race!"
In front of them, the planet, which took an unknown number of years to form, was shattered by the light fusion particle cannon, and the earth's core fusion collapsed. body, all the civilizations, intrigues, loves and hatreds that have ever happened on it have vanished at this moment.
Shu Yungui looked sideways out of the porthole, he saw the dark universe illuminated by flames, heard a hurricane blowing in the quiet space, the ninth star exploded in front of him, its erupted wreckage swelled and floated into the depths of space, and in the pile of ruins, he saw that the indomitable will of mankind was shining.
