Fear had completely overwhelmed the little girl's heart, she didn't even know how to avoid it, she just stood straight under the guard's shadow. Seeing that the guard's sharp claws were about to touch her immature neck, a jet of water suddenly rose from the water below the boat. The front end of the water column flexibly separated, holding the guard squarely like a palm made of water. The guard didn't have time to react, and was already dragged into the water, causing a splash of water.
Only then did the little girl burst into tears, and a brave man came to the side of the boat. Looking down, a vortex was appearing on the water surface, and all the guards who came swimming were swept into it. A moment later, another water column rushed up, and the edge of the water column was all formed by sea water in the shape of a blade. These water knives rotate continuously with the column body, cutting and tearing the guards inside!
After going on like this for a few seconds, none of the guards were alive, and the water column dissipated, leaving the body fragments of the guards floating on the sea.
The change came too fast, and when the people on the boat were still hesitating, a slightly hoarse female voice rang out: "Is there any space on the boat?"
Only then did people turn their attention to the dock, and there was a woman standing on the pier made of wood. Long purple wavy hair falls naturally to the shoulders. With healthy bronze skin, wearing shorts and shorts, standing with long legs close together. There was no gap between the legs, and the slender legs were enough to make a man's throat dry.
The facial features are not exquisite, but when they are combined together, they have a kind of heroic beauty of the sons and daughters of the sea. The woman was holding a baby in her hands. The baby looked like it had just been born, but it already had thick black hair. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of clever eyes looked at the people on board. It seemed that the accident just now didn't have much impact on the baby, he didn't cry or fuss, and there was even an innocent smile on the corner of his mouth.
On the woman's right hand, the energy flame is converging and disappearing. So people knew that the blade-edged water column just now was written by her.
This is a capable person!
Looking at the bodies of the guards on the dock, there were about a dozen soldiers who survived, obviously they were also rescued by a woman.
The captain came to the deck and nodded, "Of course, ma'am."
After a while, the only three remaining transport ships left the port again. The captain gave up his own room. In this narrow room where only a bed, a table and chair could be placed, the woman had just put her child in the bed when there was a knock on the door.
The woman opened the door, and there were two soldiers outside. One of them coughed dryly: "Thank you for saving us, ma'am, may I ask for your name?"
"Of course." The woman smiled, "Cinderella."
"Cinderella?" The two soldiers looked at each other, and then said excitedly: "You are Miss Cinderella, we are so honored. We separated the ocean with our own strength, and saved His Royal Highness Pope Paul, wife of the Grand Duke of Peace... God, We were able to see you here."
Speaking of which, the two soldiers suddenly backed away and saluted Cinderella in the manner of meeting the head of the Knights. This was the highest respect they expressed. After the soldiers calmed down a little, Cinderella asked, "Where is this ship going?"
"Port Love, but the final destination is Rock City. All civilians in Rock City will be transferred to Rome City. As for Rock City, it will become our front line against those black bastards. Ms. Cinderella, we need your strength, I think His Highness the Pope will be very happy to hear about you."
Another soldier said: "That's right, the deeds of you and the Grand Duke are engraved on the heroic stele in Rome, 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, Ling Ke and I are not dead yet, so we will carve a monument for us first."
She shook her head again and said, "I'm sorry, but in a place like Rock City, my ability is greatly limited, so I shouldn't be able to help much. But since it will become the front line there, I think I can still meet some old friends. of."
At this time, the cry of a baby sounded in the room. Cinderella shrugged and said, "Okay gentlemen, I have to rest."
"Then we won't bother."
After closing the door, Cinderella came back. She lay down on the bed, held the baby in her arms, kissed him lightly on the forehead and said, "Baby Haiwen, let's meet some old friends of Dad and Mom together."
She teased the child with her finger, and the boy grinned and reached out his chubby little hand to catch his mother's finger. Looking at the child, Cinderella said softly, "I really want your father to see it, he will definitely be proud of you."
The boat traveled for a day and arrived at Love Harbor in the evening. Here, civilians will transfer to other means of transportation to go to Rock City, because of Cinderella's special status. After disembarking, soldiers had already arranged an armored tactical vehicle for her. The team set off overnight and arrived at Panshi City at dawn.
The Wall of Sighing in Panshi City was pierced by Su Hong that day, and it was repaired afterwards, but it was not until Paul came to power that the white city gate was truly repaired. When the convoy passed the towering city gate, Cinderella in the tactical vehicle could see that Rock City was now fully armed. A large number of soldiers and mechas were concentrated, and all the people in and out of the city were busy figures.
The defensive positions were being built, and bunkers were cast and formed one by one, and the vehicles of the Warring States were lined up side by side, parking on a cleared space outside the city. In the sky, Griffin Knights and Sky Angel Armors flitted by from time to time. These air units not only have the advantage of air superiority, but also act as sentries to guard the area within tens of kilometers of Panshi City.
After the civilians evacuated from other places arrived at Rock City, they would take a rest at a transit station in the city before transferring to Rome. As for Cinderella, the armored vehicle pulled her directly to the municipal building. This building where Zero used to work has now become a front-line command post. Both inside and outside the building are knight soldiers with live ammunition.
It didn't take long for Cinderella to wait in the office holding her child, Haiwen, when she heard footsteps and discussions outside. Then the door opened, and Yafidi and Franklin arrived together. The two saw Cinderella as soon as they entered the door, and Yafidi immediately strode forward, hugged Cinderella lightly and said, "I'm glad you can come, Cinderella."
Franklin also stepped forward, 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 even hugged the giant's fingers and giggled.
"The little guy really looks like his father." Yafidi also came over, patted Haiwen's little face and said, "I'm sure he'll be a great man when he grows up."
Then he said to Cinderella: "Are you... how are you doing during this time?"
Since Zero left, Cinderella has also disappeared. Originally, Paul wanted to give her a fief, but Cinderella didn't intend to accept it. She seemed to have evaporated from the world, and she didn't return to Roaring Bay, and she didn't know where to hide in the mainland. This departure has been in recent years, and when it reappeared in front of people, there was already an extra boy, Haiwen.
"Very well, I have had a very peaceful and happy year." Cinderella looked out the window: "However, it seems that the rest time is over."
"What the hell are those things?" she asked.
Yafidi frowned. "Have you touched them?"
"It's better to kill."
Franklin said in a deep voice: "They are guards, creatures made by a planetary weapon called Star Destroyer. On a deeper level, they are all soldiers of Proseus."
"Proseus." Cinderella said softly, "Is that the enemy Zero mentioned?"
"Yes, strictly speaking, it is the enemy of all life." Franklin corrected slightly.
"Okay, I really want to help. But you set up the front line in Panshi City, which is too far away from the sea, and my abilities are limited a lot, so I probably won't be able to do much." Cinderella said frankly, she is an ability user of the water system . The domain sea monster can only exert its greatest power on the sea surface. In land battles, Cinderella's combat power is no more than that of an ordinary eighth-level powerhouse.
This point of combat power will not play a decisive role in the entire war.
Yafidi nodded and said: "We understand, in fact, we don't want you to stay here, especially now that you have a child. Hewen is still young, and he needs you. So Cinderella, I hope you mother and son can go to Rome. There, His Royal Highness Paul and Captain Black Wing will protect you."
"Then I can only leave you guys behind." Cinderella was not a slow-witted person, and immediately agreed to Yafidi's arrangement.
After the brief meeting time, she arranged through Yafidi and quickly left Rock City. When the car drove out of the city and went to Rome along the bloody road. Cinderella looked towards the city from the car, the mechs above the city were empty, and various war instruments were being installed on the high walls.
Here, the battle clouds are dense!
Three days later, war finally broke out. The guards came from almost every corner of the southern part of the mainland, and thousands of black trickles finally converged into a pitch-black ocean in front of the Rock City. The pitch-black sea formed by an army of hundreds of thousands of creatures set off a huge wave and slammed into this white reef.
On that day, from hundreds of kilometers away, one could also see the flickering artillery fire and thunderous explosions in the direction of Panshi City.
This is a crucial battle. Rock City is a checkpoint on the Bloody Road, and it is also the throat of Rome. The Knights of the Holy Seal used this place as the front line against the army of guards, so as not to disperse their forces, and eventually let the guards eat away at them. Conversely, concentrate their superior firepower, and then use the favorable environment of Panshi City to wage a war of attrition, trying to polish the power of biological weapons.
But doing so is also a huge risk. Once the city is broken, there will be no buffer for the city of Rome, and it will inevitably become an area where the guards will concentrate their attacks. Therefore, this battle is related to the luck of the entire continent, and there is really no room for loss. The Pope's Hall did its best in this battle. If it wasn't for Black Wing's opposition, even Paul would have come to the front to boost the morale of the army.
The battle lasted for a day, and both sides suffered casualties. Fortunately, these guards in the Western Continent did not evolve the scarlet guards capable of air combat, so with the help of the high walls of Panshi City and the aerial mechs. At the end of the first day, the guards suffered heavy casualties, but Yafeidi, Franklin and others did not feel relaxed. The Black Legion's round-the-clock, never-to-rest combat mode makes one's scalp tingle. For this reason, the Holy Seal Knights can only switch to a rotation mode.
But in this way, the firepower is not as fierce as the first day. Sure enough, in the second day's battle, the Wall of Sighs was almost climbed by the guards several times, which made the head of the legion, Black Wing, very troubled.
Just as the war was in full swing, the Star Destroyer Akmon, who was floating on the sea and entered a dormant state, suddenly opened his eyes. The giant beast raised its head slightly and looked towards the southeast sky, where a mighty force was coming across the sky. This breath is quite familiar to Akmon, it is the energy breath of its other companion Biya.
Akmon was puzzled, Biya's task should be to clean up the Central Continent, not the Western Continent that he was responsible for. Akmon lazily cast the will to ask his companion: "Biya, what are you doing here?"
However, Biya did not respond. At this moment, the radiation clouds in the southeast sky churned. Gradually, a black dot appeared on the horizon. The black spot continued to expand, and finally the figure of Star Destroyer Biya appeared. Akmon felt a little uneasy, and when the giant tail slapped on the sea, it set off huge waves that stretched for several kilometers: "Answer my question, Biya."
Biya still didn't answer.
Akmon finally felt that something was wrong, it started to activate the anti-gravity organs, creating invisible force fields that spread out. The waves flowed to both sides, and Akmon began to rise into the sky, and the sea water poured down from both sides along its body, forming hundreds of water columns, large and small.
"You must stop and tell me your purpose, or I will regard it as a war!" Akmon protested severely.
Star Destroyer is a planet-level weapon. When they are responsible for cleaning up a planet, other Star Destroyers cannot intervene. Unless Proseus ordered more than two Star Destroyers to work together early on, even if they are now downgraded due to various reasons and become weapons in the planet, this underlying rule will not change, and there is no need to change it.
Akmon has enough power to clean up the Western Continent without Biya's support. What's more, Bea didn't respond to its will, which somewhat made it feel a little hostile.
However, in the face of Akmon's protest, Biya still went his own way. Akmon was angry, and the Star Destroyer could be said to be at the apex of all biological weapons. Even among the few planet-level weapons of Proseus, they are also ranked in the top order. Top-level biological weapons are closer to ultra life forms, they have memories, emotions, and more importantly, they have dignity.
When Akmon felt that his dignity was being challenged, it would do so without hesitation, even if it would start a war among the Star Destroyers. So Akmon began to charge, and the lines on the surface of the body lit up one by one. What made it incomprehensible was that Biya did the same thing at the same time, which made Akmon's actions that were only symbolic demonstrations, but had to be turned into actual combat.
When the two Star Destroyers were hundreds of kilometers apart, Akmon and Biya spit out a thick high-energy beam at the same time. Two high-energy light beams broke through the sea surface and dispelled the water waves. The waves are like a pair of white wings spread out to both sides, the light beam passes through the middle, and meets and collides in the middle distance!
What followed was an earth-shattering explosion. Lights of various colors flickered, and a huge vortex appeared on the sea surface where the energy clashed. Some scattered islands near the vortex were blown to pieces by the blast, and the fragments of the split islands were pulled by the force field. Into the vortex of the sea. The world became extremely quiet. After more than ten seconds, the roar of energy collision gradually increased from low to high, and finally became a strong note resounding through the world.
An orange fireball rose above the sea, and after the explosion, even the air was burned in the tens of thousands of degrees of high-temperature flames. The space there twisted unnaturally, and the black electric snakes were a strong proof that the space was torn apart. The fireball is actually an extremely violent energy storm. It keeps expanding, and finally splits from it, releasing a huge fire belt that stretches for more than ten kilometers!
Akmon's body slowly descended.
Unleashing this attack consumes a lot of its energy, even though it is also a Star Destroyer. Kobia came strong, but it responded hastily. What's more, he had been in a dormant state before, and his energy was not fully activated, so he was forced to launch such a fierce attack. This is quite strenuous for Akmon's current state, and even the energy recoil caused several anti-gravity organs to be damaged immediately, so the strength of the force field output decreased, and the Star Destroyer naturally couldn't maintain a floating state.
At this moment, Akmon suddenly felt a strong current passing through his brain. All the attention was focused on Biya before, which made him ignore that there was an extra person on his big head.
zero!
Before the two Star Destroyers recharged and bombarded each other, Zero had continuously used space jumps to approach Akmon, and stood on its head when its attention was attracted by Biya. For the Star Destroyer, which was hundreds of meters long, Zero was as small as a mosquito, and he deliberately withdrew his breath, but Akmon didn't notice it at all. By the time it found something, Zero had already used the bone spur to send the command shortwave into Akmon's brain and deprived it of control.
Akmon instinctively resisted a few times, then fell silent. In the control list of the dark core, there is another Akmon. After gaining control, Zero already knew the actions of Akmon and the guards like the back of his hand. All information about Akmon was open to him without reservation, including that the guards were storming the Rock City.
"Stop their actions." Zero ordered.
But Akmon couldn't do that.
Although the Star Destroyer has the authority to command the guards, the order to clean up the continent was directly issued by Proseus. In the Order of the Guardians, the orders of Proseus are clearly higher than those of their maker, Archmon. Of course, this is not without a solution. In a situation like Biya who has not released the guards, Biya can directly clear Proseus' order, re-amend or even change the order information.
But once released, only Proseus can issue new orders to the guards.
Under such circumstances, Akmon could not end the war in Rock City. After learning this information, Zero said helplessly: "Then we can only intervene in a stronger way, Biya, let's stop those guys who don't want to obey orders obediently."
