"What was going on just now?"

On the city wall, Yafidi looked at the southern sky with a solemn face. The sky just now flashed so brightly that the world was black and white. It was obviously an extremely strong collision of energy, as evidenced by the fact that the air currents blowing northwards were also indicated.

In the wind blowing from the south, Jafidi felt the energy of destruction, and if that collision were to fall in the city of rocks, probably more than half of the city's buildings would cease to exist. Yafidi only hoped that it was not the enemy's secret weapon, otherwise the battle would be even more difficult to fight.

In fact, the war was already hard.

Under the onslaught of the Guardians, a gap had appeared in the Wall of Sighs, and two-thirds of the fortifications had been removed. Now under the White Stone City, several legion commanders take turns to fight. Piloting the Knights of the Round Table and mechs to resist the Guards' onslaught. The Atlanteans also joined the war, and the giants led by Franklin were active on the front line of the battlefield, and their flexibility and combat power were far higher than that of ordinary mechs, making the defense line of the Papal Hall withstand the onslaught.

But even so, the defense line of the Papal Hall shrank again and again, and kept retreating. The army of guards who rushed forward and followed one after another tested the extreme endurance of the defensive line.

A roar sounded on the battlefield, like thunder on the ground. Franklin flipped four hedrons up on his body, and his body almost swelled in a circle. The hair on the top of his head stood on end, and the man rushed out of cover like a tank. The giant slammed into the guards, and the outside of their bodies were scattered with extremely faint force fields, and as soon as the guards came into contact with these force fields, they were bounced up by invisible forces, and their bodies were already distorted and deformed in mid-air.

Franklin held a short-handled warhammer in each hand, the body of which was covered with intricate dark patterns. The energy flame brightened up the dark lines one by one, and with a swing of the two war hammers, Franklin rushed and slashed through a large number of guards. Behind him, Atlanteans such as Sam, Landor, and Sigourney followed. The giants formed an assault squad and followed Franklin through the enemy army, temporarily breaking the pressure of the position before retreating to cover. It was up to the mechs and soldiers to step forward to stop the guards from pursuing, while Franklin and the others got precious rest.

Five minutes later, Franklin came into battle again with a double hammer, but this time he didn't take the initiative and just held his position. The giant was covered in blood, the Guardian's green blood, and his own crimson blood. Even though the strength of his body is already as hard as steel, in the face of a large number of guards, he is still torn out by sharp claws and bone spurs.

Of course, it was only a trivial injury to Franklin, and what really threatened him was that the energy was consumed too quickly, and the energy drawn from space could not offset the energy consumption at all.

After another hammer smashed several of the guards, Franklin gasped. A strange roar was caught in his ears, and the giant raised his head, and the figure of a giant beast was reflected in his eyes.

Star Destroyer!

"Damn, the Star Destroyer has taken the initiative!" Franklin shouted at the man behind him, "Landol, there's no way to take it down." ”

The giant named Landor has the ability to thunder and lightning, but the Star Destroyer is hundreds of kilometers away, and the fault is that it is too large to be seen from this side of the battlefield. The giant shrugged and shook his head: "This is too embarrassing, Your Highness. ”

Franklin frowned and yelled at the Black Wing on the wall, "Let the flying mech attack that big guy, quick." If we give it a chance to charge up and attack, we're all done!"

Blackwing immediately gave the order to attack, just as a squadron of Griffin Knights and a squad of Sky Angels were ready to set off. The celestial star destroyer suddenly opened his body cavity, and countless black dots were as dense as rain. Driven by the ejector of the chamber, these black dots quickly crossed a distance of tens of kilometers and fell towards the ground.

"Damn, it's the Guardian again!What the hell is going on......" Franklin almost went crazy, "Are there two Star Destroyers?"

The faces of the other Atlanteans all changed suddenly, and if what Franklin said was true, then they would face twice as many guards as the black tide of nearly half a million!

"Bidah, wait for me here. Patting Star Destroyer on the head, Zero stood up.

Biya has unleashed the Guardians within it, and these will be quickly thrown into battle after hatching. Bia had reset their orders and attacked their own kind instead. However, it will take a little time for the guards to reach the battlefield, and at least for that time, Zero does not want the fall of Rock City.

The Void Energy Stones flipped up one by one, and Zero opened his arms and jumped towards the void, and the person fell rapidly. Suddenly, the figure vanished, and when it reappeared, it was already several kilometers away. After advancing to the twelfth order, the controllable distance of the space jump also reached the range of ten kilometers. As a result, Zero is able to quickly approach the battlefield with a long jump. Although it was hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield under the Rock City, for Zero, it was only ten spatial jumps.

His figure flickered continuously, spanning a distance of nearly ten kilometers with each flicker. In Franklin's perception, all he knew was a powerful aura looming and approaching the battlefield at great speed. Franklin clenched his grip on the hammer, nervous. This aura was so powerful that even Gaia was far from that day.

Could it be the new knight of Prosius?

As the thought came to mind, Franklin suddenly felt a storm of energy appear on the battlefield. In the dense camp of guards, a blue-purple ball of light suddenly appeared, the ball of light was like a black hole, giving birth to a huge suction force to pull the surrounding guards over. This ball of light is only the size of a blue ball, but the suction power it can generate is amazingly large.

Once the defender attached the ball of light, the armor leaf on his body was shattered first, and then the flesh and internal organs were sucked into the ball of light, and finally the guard exploded into a blood mist, and not even a drop of blood fell to the ground, and all of them were drawn into the ball of light. The flesh and blood of the guards continued to fill the ball of light, but the ball of light had no intention of stopping like a bottomless pit. When hundreds of Guardians vanished, the orb of light began to shrink.

The ball of light contracted quickly, but it was the size of a ping-pong ball in the blink of an eye. When the sphere shrunk to the size of a needle's eye, even if the battlefield cannon roared incessantly, both the guards and humans could hear the sound of something cracking. A circle of blue-purple ripples like smoke burst through the tiny sphere that was almost invisible, spreading into the space of the square garden for nearly a kilometer.

The ripples that spread out were like a disc, and at this moment, the disc was covered with purple-black cracks. With a crisp sound, the disc shattered into thousands of pieces. The scenery, including the countless guards covered by the disc, suddenly turned into countless shattered pieces of light. The light drifted away, tumbled, and spread in all directions. Finally, the light exploded, and from it flowed out, it turned out to be a storm of energy!

Thousands of energy storms exploded together, and the power of the explosion was confined within a square kilometer, and the energy storms collided and hedged each other, further increasing the destructive power. So in the eyes of the defenders of Rock City, after a circle of blue-purple ripples spread in the middle of the guard's army, several beams of light turned by the energy storm soared into the sky. In an instant, tens of thousands of beams of light converged into a thick pillar of light, roaring and rushing into the sky.

Pitch-black cracks appeared on the surface of the pillar of light, and finally burst out of the pillar of light with a flame of nearly 10,000 degrees! No creature could survive under the flames of 10,000 degrees Celsius, and under such high heat, the guards did not even leave a wreckage, and they melted away in the flames.

The eruption of flames lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally turned into black and red smoke. In the thick smoke, there were still black currents that broke through the air, leaving traces of scorching heat in the air. The area within nearly a kilometer square became a scorched area, and tens of thousands of guards disappeared in an instant, and a huge blank appeared in the black wave. Even with the number of guards, it can't fill this gap for a moment.

The space over there was slightly distorted, and the energy became extremely chaotic, and even several bands of light of different colors appeared. Those seemingly harmless bands of light are in fact dimensional turbulences, and they will lightly shred any matter that comes close to them until they are completely neutralized and disappeared by the energy of space.

This is the destruction caused by the spatial explosion, and it is an incomplete version of it that has been nerfed. Zero was speechless, thinking that he had already pushed people, but he knew that Glass and Oglok had not finished their full efforts that day, otherwise there would be no need for the Star Destroyer to appear, and the two of them would be enough to turn Eternal Night City into what it is now.

But this time, Zero was wrong. Everyone's abilities are emphasized, and Douglas, for example, leaned towards pure power. Since Zero developed the ability to jump in space, the development of his ability has begun to favor special abilities such as space. Therefore, it is also a twelfth-order, and the power of destruction caused by the dimensional turbulence squeezing the spatial channel to form a big explosion of energy is by no means comparable to that of a pure power-type powerhouse like Douglas.

It's just that there is a surplus and shortage every month, and those who have ability are no exception. Regardless of Zero or Douglas, there will be advantages and disadvantages in their abilities. Just as the space bursts, as powerful as it is, the consumption is just as amazing. At this moment, just using a reduced version of the space explosion, Zero's energy level has dropped by a third.

But in terms of efficiency, space burst is undoubtedly a big killer on the battlefield, especially in the face of dense enemy forces, it is simply a life harvester.

The Guardian's breath of life was suddenly missing, and Franklin was shocked by the contrast between before and after. It was this moment of distraction, and the giant suddenly felt a light pat on his back. Franklin instinctively turned around and swung the hammer, and the hammer slammed down with an invisible force, but it was easily blocked with one hand. Franklin only felt that his power was instantly absorbed, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, a familiar voice sounded from under the hammer: "Franklin, it's a little too grand to greet an old friend like this." ”

Franklin removed the hammer, and Zero's face leaped into view. The giant marched, and then said happily: "Zero, when did you come here?"

"Just when you were trying to smash me flat. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged each other heavily. Of course, given Franklin's size, Zero would only be able to hold one of his arms.

After letting go of Zero, Franklin smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that you didn't come at the right time. ”

"On the contrary, I feel like I've arrived at the right time. Look, the reinforcements I brought have arrived. Zero laughed.

Franklin saw that the battlefield was the same. Although it was said that tens of thousands of guards were taken away by the Zero One Spatial Burst, this gap was soon filled, and Franklin could not see the slightest change. But there was a soft cry on the city wall, with surprise and a hint of surprise in the cry. Franklin immediately yelled, "Blackwing, what's going on?"

"To be honest, I don't know. Blackwing's voice sounded directly in Franklin's head: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be called cannibalism." Yes, from behind those black monsters came another batch of the same monsters, but they fought on their own. ”

In fact, Blackwing's description is not correct, the guards are not killing each other, but Akmun's guards are slaughtering one side to the ground. The guards didn't set up the order to tear their own kind apart, so they didn't defend against the tears from the Beya guards at all. Biya's guards strangled their own kind with ease, and the coldness and efficiency of the biological weapon were evident in this moment.

The army of the Papal Hall was useless, they no longer had to attack, they only needed to hold their positions. As for the work of killing the enemy, it was done by the same kind of guards who killed from the rear.

Even then, the battle ended only in the afternoon. When the last of Akmun's guards fell, he stood on the high wall and looked down, and the battlefield within a few kilometers of the Rock City was full of the corpses of the guards. It would have taken a lot of time to dispose of the corpses alone, but the success of saving Rock City has made the entire Order rejoice. After completing their mission, Bea's Guardians receded like a tidal wave, and as Zero had previously requested, they would have been able to exit the continent, enter the ocean, and eventually die in the depths of the sea.

Based on Prosious' ability to directly reset the Guardian's commands, Zero didn't want to pull this batch of time bombs to the Eastern Continent. Therefore, after completing the mission, these biological weapons must be destroyed.

The battlefield was cleared by the soldiers, and Zero was carried by Franklin and the others to the municipal building, which served as a command post. The area that used to be the conference hall has been cleared for use as a command center, and it also serves as Blackwing's office. Zero walked in with the old friends, Black Wing smiling silently, while Jafidi and the others kept asking Zero.

They were very surprised and curious that Zero was able to arrive in time, as well as the extremely strong combat power that came out of the table, and even controlled a star destroyer. Zero couldn't answer so many questions at the same time, so he could only raise his hand to silence a few people, then looked at Franklin and said, "Gentlemen, the war has begun. ”

"Did Prosius still get out of prison?" Franklin lowered his voice, "Tell me where it is, Zero!"

"Don't worry, Franklin, you're going to be in this battle. Zero looked at Black Wing: "And I hope that the Papal Hall can also participate in the war." ”

Black Wing spread his hands and said, "I personally raise my hands in favor, but this matter must be approved by His Highness Guò Paul." ”

"Of course, I'll go to see His Highness Paul, after all, I've sent some things to him. ”

Black Wing nodded and said, "He must be eager to see you now." ”

Zero spent the night in Rock City, and the next day traveled to Rome aboard Bia the Star Destroyer. Black Wing sent the news back to the Papal Chamber early, and when Zero arrived in Rome, he was greeted by a procession in the Papal Chamber.

"I knew I'd see you again soon, friend. Paul, who was dressed in a gorgeous robe and holding the papal staff, greeted him personally, hugged Zero vigorously, and whispered in his ear: "I have heard everything about Rock City, thank you for reaching out to us again." ”

Zero patted him and said, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, I still have the name of the Grand Duke of Peace on me." ”

The two laughed and parted. Paul asked Zero to get into the car, and to Zero's surprise, it was not a car that was behind Paul, but a carriage. The carriage is not big, just two people side by side. Getting into the carriage, Zero looked at Paul, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to take a car too, but these are extraordinary times, and the streets of our city of Rome are too narrow now." ”

The carriage headed in the direction of the Papal Hall, and Zero all the way looked like Paul meant. Paul had moved the populace to the city of Rome, which was now overcrowded. People crowded into the streets, and even the square in front of the Papal Hall set up countless makeshift tents.

"You don't know, you did me a big favor this time, Zero. Paul smiled wryly, "Look at these people out there, their food alone is a huge expense. If the war goes on any longer, I'll have to go bankrupt. ”

Zero smiled, the young pope in front of him was still speaking so exaggeratedly.

In the papal chamber, Paul convened a council on whether to participate in the war of Prosius. Eventually, with Zero's account and Paul's support, the Papal Chamber finally decided to go to war, so that the army in Rock City would not have to be withdrawn. As for how to get to the Eastern Continent, Zero took the job. Although the warships of the city of Rome were only used for sailing in the inner bays, they were enough to sail out of the open sea as long as they were combined with some sea beasts of Belafar.

This point had already been discussed with Belafar when Zero went to the Western Continent. Since Zero has solved the most headache problem of sea navigation, the Papal Hall has nothing to shirk, and Paul immediately issued a new order to Black Wing in the name of the Pope's Chamber, and after dealing with the aftermath of Rock City, he will go on an expedition to the Eastern Continent.

For this reason, almost all the ships in the Western Continent had to be requisitioned, and as for the port of the expedition, it was finally settled in the port city of Facero!

After the meeting, Zero pulled Paul aside and whispered, "There's something I want to ask you for." ”

"You say something. Paul said cheerfully.

"I want you to help me find Cinderella, I want to meet her. ”

When Paul heard this, he let out a chuckle, "It's my fault, Zero." I forgot to tell you, Cinderella is in the city of Rome. ”

Zero's eyes lit up.
