[Thank you for the big monthly ticket rewards such as Book Friend 1244746110, Brother Xiang, Tobacco Buster Smoking Gun, and Su in the War!]

Fear had completely overwhelmed the little girl's mind, and she didn't even know how to dodge, so she stood straight in the shadow of the guard. Seeing that the guard's claws were about to touch her tender neck, a column of water suddenly rose from the surface of the water under the ship. The tip of the water column is flexibly separated, holding the guard right like a palm made of water. Before the defender could react, he was already dragged into the water, causing a splash.

Only then did the little girl cry out, and a bold man came to the side of the ship. Looking down, a whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water, sweeping all the swam guards into it. A moment later, another column of water rushed up, and the edge of the column was all made of seawater forming the shape of a blade. These waterknives rotate with the pillars, slicing and tearing apart the guards inside!

After a few seconds of this, not a single guard was left alive, and the column of water dispersed, leaving fragments of the guard's body floating on the surface of the sea.

The change came too quickly, and while the people on the boat were still hesitating, a slightly hoarse woman's voice rang out: "Is there still a place on the ship?"

Only then did the eyes turn to the dock, where a woman stood on a wooden pier. The long, wavy purple hair falls naturally and falls down to the shoulders. He has healthy bronzed skin, wears shorts and shorts, and stands with his long legs side together. There was not a single gap between the legs, and the slender leg line was enough to dry a man's throat.

The facial features are not exquisite, but when combined, they have a heroic beauty of a child of the sea. The woman was still holding a baby in her hand, and the baby looked like it had just been born, but it already had thick black hair. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of large, clever eyes looked at the people on the ship. It seems that the accident just now did not have much impact on the baby, he did not cry or make trouble, and even pulled an innocent smile at the corner of his mouth.

On the woman's right hand, the energy flame is converging and disappearing. So people know that the bladed water column just now was from her handwriting.

This is a capable one!

Looking at the dock again, the corpses of the guards who also fell to the ground, but there were more than a dozen soldiers who survived, apparently all rescued by women.

The captain came to the deck and nodded, "Of course, ma'am." ”

Moments later, the only three remaining transports re-departed. The captain had given up his room, and in this small room, where only a bed, a table and chair could be placed, the woman had just put her child on the bed, when there was a knock at the door.

The woman opened the door, and outside the door were two soldiers. One of them coughed dryly, "Thank you for saving us, ma'am, can I ask your name?"

"Of course. The woman smiled, "Cinderella." ”

"Cinderella?" the two soldiers looked at each other, and then said excitedly, "You are Miss Cinderella, and we are so honored." Single-handedly parted the seas and saved His Royal Highness Pope Paul, wife of the Grand Duke of Peace...... God, we were able to see you here. ”

As he spoke, the two soldiers suddenly stepped back and saluted Cinderella with the etiquette of meeting the head of the knight, which was the highest respect they had ever expressed. After the soldiers had calmed down a bit, Cinderella asked, "Where will the ship go?"

"Love Harbour, but the final destination is Rock City. All civilians in Rock City will be transferred to Rome, and Rock City will be our front line against the black minuse. Lady Cinderella, we need your strength, and I think His Highness will be very happy to hear of you. ”

Another soldier said: "That's right, the deeds of you and the Grand Duke of Peace are engraved on the monument of the heroes of the city of Rome, and His Royal Highness Paul even erected a statue for you and the Grand Duke!"

Cinderella laughed and said, "His Royal Highness Paul is too exaggerated, Zero Ke and I are not dead yet, so we will carve a monument first." ”

She shook her head again and said, "I'm sorry, but in a place like Rock City, my abilities are very limited, and I shouldn't be able to help much. But now that it's going to be the front line, I think we'll still be able to meet some old friends. ”

At this time, the cry of a baby sounded in the room. Cinderella shrugged her shoulders and said, "All right, gentlemen, I need to rest." ”

"Then we won't bother. ”

The door was closed, and Cinderella walked back. She lay down on the bed, held the baby in her arms, and kissed him gently on the forehead, "Haven baby, let's go meet some old friends of Daddy and Mommy." ”

She teased the child with her fingers, and the boy grinned and reached out his chubby little hand to catch his mother's fingers. Looking at the child, Cinderella whispered, "I really want your father to see, he will definitely be proud of you." ”

After a day's journey, the boat arrived at Lough Harbour in the evening. Here, civilians would transfer to other means of transportation to Rock City, and Cinderella was so special because of her status. After disembarking from the ship, some soldiers had already arranged an armored tactical vehicle for her, and the convoy set off overnight and arrived at Rock City at dawn.

The wall of sighs in the Rock City was pierced by Su Bang that day, and it was repaired later, but it was not until Paul ascended the throne that the white city gate was really repaired. As the convoy passed through the towering gates, Cinderella, who was in the tactical car, could see that Rock City was now fully armed. A large number of soldiers and mechs were concentrated, and all you saw inside and outside the city were busy figures.

Defensive positions are being built, bunker fortifications are cast, and warring states are lined up in a row, parked in an open space cleared outside the city. In the sky, Gryphon Knights and Sky Angel drone mechs swept by from time to time, these air units not only had air superiority, but also acted as sentinels to guard the area within tens of kilometers of Rock City.

Civilians evacuated from other places arrived at Rock City and were transferred to Rome after a short break at a transit point in the city. As for Cinderella, the armored car pulled her directly to the municipal building, which Zero once used to work in and is now a command post at the front. Both inside and outside the building were heavily armed Knights' soldiers.

Cinderella didn't wait long in the office with the baby Haven in her arms when she heard footsteps and chattering outside. Then the door opened, and Jafidi and Franklin arrived. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Cinderella, and Jafidi immediately strode forward and hugged Cinderella lightly, "I'm glad you're here, Cinderella." ”

Franklin stepped forward as well, but he was too big to hug Cinderella, so he stretched out a thick finger and gently touched Haven: "Is this Zero's child?"

"Yes, his name is Haven. Cinderella said.

Haven didn't seem to be afraid of Franklin, and reached out to hold the giant's finger and giggled.

"The little one really looks like his father. Yafidi also came over, patted Haven's little face and said, "You must be a great man when you grow up." ”

Then he said to Cinderella, "You...... Is this time okay?"

Since Zero left, Cinderella has vanished. Paul wanted to give her a fief, but Cinderella didn't intend to accept it. It was as if she had evaporated from the world, and she did not return to Roaring Bay, and she did not know where to hide in the mainland. This departure is in recent years, and when it reappears in front of people's eyes, there is already an additional boy Haven.

"It's good, I've had a very peaceful and happy year. Cinderella looked out the window, "Still, it looks like the break is over." ”

"What the hell are those?" she asked.

Yafidi frowned and said, "You've already touched them?"

"Kill some. ”

Franklin muttered, "They are Guardians, creatures made from a planetary weapon called the Star Destroyer. On a deeper level, they were all soldiers of Prosious. ”

"Prosius. Cinderella whispered, "Is that the enemy Zero mentioned?"

"That's right, strictly speaking, it's the enemy of a qiē life. Franklin corrected slightly.

"Well, I'd love to help. However, you have set up the front line in Rock City, which is too far away from the sea, and my abilities are quite limited, so it probably won't help. Cinderella said calmly, she is a capable person of the water system. The realm kraken can only exert its maximum power on the surface of the sea, and in land battles, Cinderella's combat power is only equivalent to an ordinary eighth-order powerhouse.

This bit of combat power will not play a decisive role in the entire war at all.

Yafidi nodded, "We understand, in fact, we don't want you to stay here either, especially now that you have children. Haven is still young, and he needs you. So Cinderella, I want you mother and son to go to the city of Rome. There, His Highness Paul and Captain Blackwing will protect you. ”

"Then I'll have to leave you alone, guys. Cinderella was not a drag and agreed to Yafidi's arrangement right away.

After a brief meeting time, she was arranged by Yafidi and quickly left Rock City. As the car drove out of the city and along the bloodstained road to the city of Rome. Cinderella looked out of the car towards the city, where the mechs above the city were hollow, and various war equipment was being installed on the high walls.

Here, the war clouds are thick!

Three days later, the war finally broke out. Guards poured in from almost every corner of the southern continent, and thousands of black streams finally converged into a sea of pitch black in front of the Rock City. The sea of darkness, formed by an army of 100,000 creatures, set off a huge wave and crashed against this white reef.

On that day, hundreds of kilometers away, you could also see the flashing artillery fire and thunderous explosions in the direction of Rock City.

It was a crucial battle, and the Rock City was a checkpoint on the Bloodstained Road and the choke point of the Roman city. The Knights of the Holy Seal used this place as the front line against the Guardians' army, avoiding the dispersal of their forces and eventually the Guardians. In turn, concentrate superior firepower, and then use the favorable environment of Rock City to fight a war of attrition, trying to polish the power of biological weapons.

However, there is also a huge risk in doing so, once the city is broken, the city of Rome will no longer have a buffer place, and it will inevitably become an area where the defenders will concentrate on attacking. Therefore, this war is related to the luck of the entire continent, and there is really no room for failure. The Papal Chamber did its best in this battle, and if it were not for the opposition of the Black Wings, even Paul would have come to the front to boost the morale of the army.

The battle lasted a day, with casualties on both sides. Fortunately, these guards in the Western Continent have not evolved crimson guards who can fight in the air, so with the help of the high walls of Rock City and the aerial mechas. At the end of the first day, the guards suffered heavy casualties, but Yafidi and Franklin and others did not feel easy. The Black Legion's round-the-clock combat mode without any rest makes the scalp tingle, so the Knights of the Holy Seal can only switch to a rotational operation mode.

But in this way, the fire is not as fierce as on the first day. Sure enough, in the battle on the second day, the Wall of Sighs narrowly allowed the guards to climb several times, which made the Legion Commander Black Wing very sad.

Just when this war was in full swing, on the outer sea of the continent, Akmun, a star destroyer floating on the surface of the sea and entering a dormant state, suddenly opened his eyes. The beast raised its head slightly to look at the sky to the southeast, where a mighty force was approaching. This aura was familiar to Akmun, it was the aura of the energy of his other companion, Bia.

Akmon wondered if Bia's mission was to clean up the Middle-earth continent, not the western continent he was responsible for. Akmun lazily threw his companion an inquiring will: "Bia, what are you doing here?"

However, Biya did not respond, and at this moment, the southeast sky was churned with radiant clouds. Gradually, a black dot appeared on the horizon. The black dot continued to expand, eventually revealing the form of Bia the Star Destroyer. Akmon felt a little uneasy, and the giant tail slapped on the surface of the sea, and set off huge waves that stretched for several kilometers: "Answer my question, Bia. ”

Beah still didn't answer.

Akmund finally sensed that something was wrong, and it began to activate the anti-gravity organs, giving birth to an invisible force field that spread out of the Dao. The waves drained in both directions, and Akmon began to rise into the air, and the sea water poured down its body from both sides, forming hundreds of columns of water large and small.

"You must stop and tell me what you came for, or I will see it as war!" Akmun protested sternly.

Star Destroyers are planetary-level weapons, and when they are responsible for cleaning up a planet, other Star Destroyers cannot interfere. Unless Prosius orders more than two Star Destroyers to work together in the morning, even if they are now downgraded for various reasons and become weapons within the planet, this potential rule will not change, and there is no need to change.

Akmon had enough strength to clear the Western Continent without the need for Bia's support. Moreover, Biya did not respond to its will, which made it feel a little hostile.

However, in the face of Akmun's protests, Biya continued to go his own way. Akmon was furious, and the Star Destroyer could be said to be standing at the apex of a qiē biological weapon. Even among the few planetary-level weapons in Prosius, they are also ranked in the top sequence. Top-level biological weapons are closer to super lifeforms, they have memories, emotions, and more importantly, they have dignity.

When Akmon felt that his dignity was being challenged, it would not hesitate to do so, even if it would lead to a war between Star Destroyers. So Akmun began to recharge, and the lines on his body lit up one by one. What is incomprehensible to it is that Biya is doing the same thing, which makes Akmun have to turn what was supposed to be a symbolic demonstration into a real act.

When the two Star Destroyers were hundreds of kilometers apart, Akmun and Biya spewed out a thick, high-energy beam at the same time. Two high-energy beams break through the surface of the sea and expel the waves. The waves spread out like two white wings in both directions, and the beams of light passed through the middle and met and collided in the middle distance!

An earth-shattering explosion followed, flashing of light of various colors, and a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea at the hedge of the energy, and some scattered islands near the whirlpool were torn apart by the blast, and the fragments of the split island body were pulled into the whirlpool of the sea by the force field. The world became extremely quiet, and after a dozen seconds, the roar of energy collision gradually increased from low to high, and finally became a strong note that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

An orange fireball rose on the surface of the sea, and even the air burned out in the tens of thousands of degrees of heat flames after the explosion. The space there is unnaturally distorted, and the black electric snakes are a powerful proof that the space has been torn apart. The fireball was actually an extremely violent energy storm, which continued to expand, and finally cracked through it, releasing a huge belt of fire that stretched for more than ten kilometers!

Akmun's body slowly descended.

Unleashing this attack consumes a significant amount of its energy, despite being a Star Destroyer. Cobia came strongly, and it was in a hurry. What's more, he had been dormant before, and his energy was not fully operational, so he was forced to launch such a fierce attack. This is quite difficult for Akmon's current state, and even the recoil of energy causes several anti-gravity organs to be damaged immediately, so the strength of the force field output decreases, and the Star Destroyer naturally cannot maintain a floating state.

At that moment, Akmun suddenly felt a strong electric current pass through his brain. The previous attention was all focused on Biya, which made it ignore the fact that there was an extra person on its big head.

Zero!

Before the two Star Destroyers could recharge each other, Zero had used a series of space jumps to get close to Akmun, and stood on its head as it was drawn to Bea. For a Star Destroyer hundreds of meters long, Zero was as small as a mosquito, and he deliberately put away his breath, and Akmon didn't notice it at all. By the time it made its discovery, Zero had invaded Akmon's brain with a bone spur to send a short wave of commands, stripping it of control.

Instinctively resisted a few times, and then fell silent. In the list of the dark core, there is another Akmun. After gaining the right to control, Zero was well aware of the actions of Akmun and the Guardians. All of Akmun's information was unreservedly open to him, including the Guardians' assault on the City of Rock.

"Stop their actions. Zero ordered.

But Akmun couldn't do that.

Although the Star Destroyer has the authority to command the guards, the order to clean up the continent is directly issued by Prosius. In the sequence of commands of the guards, Prosius's orders are clearly higher than their maker, Akmun. Of course, this is not out of the question. In the case of a person like Beya, who has not yet released the Guard, Biya can directly clear Prosius's order and revise or even change the order information.

But once released, only Prosius could give new orders to the guards.

Under these circumstances, Akmun was unable to end the war in the City of Rocks. After learning this information, Zero said helplessly: "Then we can only intervene in a tougher way, Biya, and stop those guys who refuse to obey orders." ”
