His Majesty Seth Heinrich was out of breath after being chased by the giant snake, and said angrily, "Aaron! This time I have to beat your intestines out!!"
The emperor and the marshal flew all the way along the corridor, and the giant snake chased after them, knocking over a large wall with a splash. Aaron sat on the back of the giant snake. Hearing this, he drew his knife and waved. Countless electric arcs smashed the metal corridor to the floor in an instant.
Heinrich was almost tripped by the splashing gravel, but fortunately Gavin was very focused on running away, and immediately pulled him away. In the chaos, the griffin came out and flew a red-gold semicircle in the air, and was immediately caught by the emperor, turning around and firing a cannon!
Amidst the loud noise, the big snake shrank back, and the griffin screamed: "Admiral Aaron!"
"He's not dead!" Heinrich was furious: "Why don't you change your body?!"
"Can't change! Not enough energy!"
"... where's your energy source?"
"Give it to Phoenix!"
The temperature around Heinrich plummeted by twenty degrees, almost like snowflakes. Gavin couldn't see it, with a calm and steady face, pointing to a side road at the end of the corridor: "This way!"
This branch road is very small and narrow, and the size of the giant snake cannot enter it for the time being. It will take a while to break the passage even with brute force. At the end of the fork, there is a small accessory room. The two of them squeezed behind the metal door of the accessory room. Heinrich managed to sort out the mess: "So Aaron was controlled by the warriors of the Dark Star Hall? Can he come back? ?"
Gavin's physical strength was not as strong as that of Alpha, and he gasped for a while on his knees before saying, "Yes... Yes, the mind control is connected through the Serpent of the Nether Space, and we must first find out which one it is."
"Not the one outside?"
"Not necessarily, the Dark Star Hall raises a lot of this kind of snake."
"Through snakes... can a soldier like Aaron be hypnotized?" After all, Heinrich only lived for two hundred years, half of his life was spent fighting, and he knew very little about the obscure secrets deep in the universe: "I only listen to You said that the wind of the Nether Sky Star can refract the soul, but you have never heard of the Nether Sky Snake... "
"When did I tell you such an inconsequential thing?" Gavin obviously didn't come back from his previous memories of the alliance, but he didn't pursue it at such an emergency, and just said casually: "The soul-refracting thing on the starry sky It is not the wind, it is a high-level intelligent life form that exists in the form of electromagnetic. And the serpent of the sky is a low-level creature that can easily accept the thought invasion of a third party, so it is generally used by the Dark Star Church to lurk, investigate, and monitor...they There is a technology that allows people's thinking to enter the snake brain, and when thousands of warriors fight in a snake shape, ordinary troops cannot defend against it."
Heinrich's thinking was quick, and he immediately remembered that in the most active history of the Dark Star Hall more than 400 years ago, there were indeed several small countries that were defeated and destroyed because of the snake plague. It must be the masterpiece of the Dark Star Hall. In contrast, the alliance has never suffered a loss in the war against the Dark Star Hall. Does Celia have some secret methods that are rarely known
"That snake must be killed," Gavin thought, glancing at the dark corridor outside the door, and pondered, "It is not only the totem of the cult, but also the eyes and ears of the high-ranking warriors of the Dark Star Hall in this town..."
Before the words were finished, a light flashed in the depths of the accessories room, and Heinrich turned his head suddenly, only to see a black gap appearing in midair for no reason, and then Aaron's figure stepped out.
He fell to the ground with a bang, stood up slowly, and stared at Heinrich and Gavin with a hostile face.
At that moment the small space was almost completely frozen.
"You..." Aaron's voice was low and hoarse: "Who are you?"
At that moment, Heinrich really wanted to kick up, shouting who is Lao Tzu? Laozi is the emperor! But he resisted the impulse in the end, and said coldly: "The problem is not us, the problem is you, Anders Aaron. You are obviously the general of the empire, when did you become a warrior of the Dark Star Hall?"
Aaron was slightly shocked, and the killing and violence that filled his mind actually subsided a little. Heinrich's cold expression and hard-lined face suddenly emerged from the depths of his memory: the mighty fleet, the battlefield full of gunfire, the bright and quiet red Saturn desert under the moonlight, and the cold tombstones and tears...
"Heinrich...?" He murmured, his eyes turned to Gavin blankly: "Si... Celia?"
Gavin nodded slightly, but did not let go of the red gold saber in his hand.
At this time, Gavin's facial features were already very close to Commander Celia's when he was a boy. Aaron squinted his eyes to recognize it for a while, and his mind was awake and blurred for a while.
In a daze, he remembered a scene many years ago: he knelt on the ground covered in bloodstains, with a bright silver blade on his neck; Celia held the handle of the knife, looked at him with an angry face, and opened and closed his mouth as if roaring something, but the surroundings Can't hear anything in a mess.
what time is this
He seemed to be in a noisy ocean, only the severe pain from his neck was extremely real. After a while, his own voice finally gradually became clear: "... kill me if you want! Just kill me! In this kind of dirty and corrupt alliance, I will be tortured to death, I would rather die now!..."
"Shut up!" Celia slashed him to the ground with a backhand: "Even you rebelled with Heinrich? Do you really want to die with him?!"
Aaron fell to the ground, feeling blood rushing to the top of his head: "So what about the rebellion?! The Alliance has treated you badly, Marshal! Only by getting rid of those old guys can you make a living for yourself. If you are dictatorial..."
With a loud snap, Celia knocked him down again.
The severe pain caused Aaron to writhe and struggle, and the surrounding noise became louder and louder, as if countless congressmen were condescendingly whispering to each other. Shame, anger and unwillingness filled Aaron's heart. He gritted his teeth and managed to get up, hissing: "Anyway, you wait—"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly held down by a hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Heinrich who was also kneeling.
Heinrich looked even more embarrassed, with blood and dust all over his head and face, but his eyes were forbearing and firm, and he shook his head gently at him.
"You..." Aaron couldn't continue, and almost burst into tears.
Celia stared at them coldly, then turned and walked away after a while. Aaron raised his head with tears in his eyes, but he only heard him say coldly: "Don't execute them yet, lock these people up."
There was a lot of discussion around, and several congressmen rushed to stand up: "Marshal! How can these traitors not be executed?" "What the hell are you thinking?!" "We demand immediate execution, immediately!"...
However, Celia ignored it.
He walked to the gate of the House, and looked back at Aaron before going out. That gaze was so indescribable that even hundreds of years later, it was deeply imprinted in the heart of Admiral Anders Aaron of the Empire—
That look is exactly the same as now.
"Celia..." Aaron murmured, his eyes were blank and unfocused: "Celia Yuan, Marshal..."
In the accessory room, Gavin's grip on the saber loosened and tightened. Aaron took a step forward, as if trying to identify something, but suddenly behind them—Boom!
Metal fragments fell one after another, and the huge snake's head poked in through the broken doorway, like a hill. Its yellow lantern-like eyes wandered around the small accessories room, then fixed on Gavin.
This look is quite different from when it was rampaging in the hall just now, it seems to be colder and full of spirituality, and it seems to have a human feeling... A nerve in Heinrich's brain suddenly tightened, and he blurted out: "—Who?! "
The giant snake spat out the letter, and there seemed to be a smile on its weird face for an instant.
"As expected of the emperor." Its voice was hissing when it spoke, and it could barely be recognized by listening hard: "Also—Selia, you look really... tsk tsk..."
Gavin said coldly, "Younes."
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the griffin automatically reassembled into an arm-mounted electromagnetic gun, and the barrel rotated to align with the snake's head; however, the giant snake did not dodge or dodge, and laughed: "It's so hard to meet in private once, but you don't even bother to talk about the old relationship." ?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was only a "boom!", and the electromagnetic cannon on Gavin's shoulder shot out!
The body of the Snake in the Nether Space is as hard as iron, but if it is attacked by an electromagnetic cannon at such a short distance, even tungsten alloy can be turned into a puddle of mud. When the shell rushed out, three people rushed out, but they hadn't taken two steps. Suddenly the giant snake hissed and screamed!
A long crack in space opened like lightning in front of it, and the electromagnetic cannon flew into the dark void at the critical moment, followed by a thunderous vibration!
Although this shock was no worse than an electromagnetic cannon directly exploding indoors, it was not much worse. All of a sudden, the whole building was shaking violently, the amplitude was so great that even the ceiling was shattered, and the remnants of the walls fell down like a torrential rain.
The giant snake writhed desperately, and the entire corridor was filled to the brim with its huge body. Gavin was unable to stand still and was about to fall when Heinrich suddenly protected him from behind. The two stumbled out of the corridor amidst the violent shock and rushed under a barely supported metal column in the hall.
"Are you okay?" Gavin shouted.
For a moment, Heinrich hoped that something was wrong with him, but he lowered his head and glanced a few times, and in the end he had to regretfully point out the flesh wounds on his arm to Gavin: "No...it's okay."
"..." Gavin was speechless for a moment, and patted his muscular arm casually. The Griffin suddenly turned into a light brain and jumped out, anxiously roaring: "What about Admiral Aaron—?!"
The vibration continued, and Heinrich shook his head and said, "Go and save him later!"
Gavin asked casually, "You guys know each other well?"
"Rival!"
"..."
"Just kidding," Heinrich pushed Gavin into the corner, and said, "We have been good brothers since we were in school, unlike the 'good brothers' you and Younes are... and later became yours together Guards, let's fight against the alliance together, there is only one thing I feel very sorry for him."
"… What's up?"
"Chenqiao Mutiny." Heinrich paused every word, and sneered suddenly: "I deliberately dragged Aaron into the water beforehand, because I thought that if he was there, you wouldn't execute us if things failed—" Facts have proved that my decision was correct, you resisted the pressure of the council and changed the execution to exile, but if it was only me... "
He paused, his voice was indistinct amidst the roaring noises around him:
"Perhaps now...there is no empire."
Gavin was slightly taken aback.
The surrounding ground shook and the giant snake roared. They looked at each other in this apocalyptic scene, and the emperor's ice-blue eyes were as deep as the sea.
Gavin opened his mouth, and after a while he whispered, "Don't underestimate yourself."
At the same time, in the accessory room, the giant snake finally withdrew from the front half of its body through the collapsed doorway. Its huge body turned a corner with a speed unimaginable by ordinary people, and rushed out with its head full of broken metal bricks!
At this time, the entire roof almost collapsed, and the giant snake's high head even protruded out of the building. The street was silent for a few seconds, and then there was an explosion of exclamations: "Help!" "There are snakes! There are snakes!" "Everyone, run away—"
The giant snake smiled contemptuously, and suddenly lowered its head and plunged into the lobby of the law enforcement department. It searched for Gavin in the mess, but that corner was very hidden. Heinrich grabbed the Griffon electromagnetic gun first, and pointed it at the giant snake's swaying thick neck—
That shot was extremely accurate, the moment the giant snake turned its head, the electromagnetic gun shot across a long arc, blasting its entire body into the air!
This time, even before the space door could be opened, the Nether Space Snake smashed down the entire outer wall of the building, and its several-ton body flew onto the street.
At least seven or eight buildings and dozens of trees were knocked down by the giant snake that fell from the sky. Residents screamed and fled in all directions, and there were deafening calls for help and cries everywhere. Heinrich threw the electromagnetic cannon emitting white smoke to Gavin, hugged him around the waist, and climbed up to the ground from the corner full of bricks and stones.
The crowd on the street was completely dispersed, only the body of the giant snake was running across the town, and its tail was still twitching. Gavin looked up at the night sky, and said softly, "Such a commotion is too loud, and the Dark Star Warriors from nearby towns will rush over..."
—He was right, there were already sharp sirens in the distant sky. The dark star warriors from several nearby settlements will be dispatched upon hearing the news, and will soon gather on top of them.
However, Heinrich did not answer, and smiled strangely for a while: "Celia—"
Gavin glanced at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"This planet will soon be taken over by the Empire. At dawn, the Ninth Fleet will occupy the airspace of Shurong Star. At that time, the land under our feet will completely return to the territory of the Empire."
Heinrich took half a step back and opened his hands gracefully.
At the same time, in the distant night sky behind him, a dazzling and vast spot of light suddenly flashed like a sea of stars—it was the Egret Star Ninth Fleet, the only elite legion of the Gemini Empire composed of all Alphas.
"This seems to be the first time we have been honest with each other and stood on the land of the empire as old friends... Celia, do you have anything to say?"
Gavin stared at Heinrich, and stood slowly while holding the saber, without a trace of expression on his face.
"No?" Heinrich smiled and said, "I have."
The emperor stretched out his hand to Gavin, which seemed to be some kind of solemn invitation, and even the tone of voice was polite: "Welcome you as emperor, dear Marshal Celia—welcome to the Gemini Empire."
