Chapter 779: Dangerous Mission (4,000 words)

The dismantled Empress Valakis escaped many of the top Ghiss Yankees.

However, there are many astral mercenaries who have the same idea as Charles and Xingshenshen, and at this time, a dense group of people on the airport are like sharks smelling blood, rushing to the disintegrating starship in groups.

"Buzz"

Pillars of fire fell from the sky and grilled a group of Giss Yankee soldiers and a Giss Yankee lieutenant.

"It's the Presence!"

The astral mercenaries who surrounded this group of Gisyankees turned around and saw that it was Charles and Xingshenshen, and they cursed in their mouths, but they didn't dare to go over to trouble this pair, so they could only focus on the other group of Gisyankees.

These days, the golden combination of Charles and Starfall can be regarded as making some name for itself in Angel Reef.

There are a lot of cutting-edge combat power on Angel Reef, nine Xi Angels, Mantis Ranger, Gizarere Warrior Monk, Erlan Psychic Warlock, etc., but this does not mean that Angel Reef has a situation where heroes walk all over the ground and the exemplars are cabbage.

Heroes, in Angel Reef and the status of the Astral Apostle is similar, if you are willing to serve Angel Reef, you will directly get the residence qualification and an officially gifted house, so, obviously, most of this group of Astral mercenaries who took great risks to participate in the war are exemplary people, Charles and Xing Shen Shen both have a luxurious equipment, not to mention, there is no problem with a hard and woven aboriginal model team.

Out of fear, many astral mercenary squads can only endure the monster robberies of Charles and Xingshen.

The Giss Yankees of a ship were quickly divided.

It was as if a live chicken had been thrown into a school of piranhas, and in an instant only a bare skeleton remained.

Charles floated in the silver void, looking at the Gisyankee Astral Fortress that was caught in the sea of fire, and said with regret: "After all, it is only the outermost stronghold, and it is considered a resource warehouse, so it is vulnerable." ”

He really wanted to fight for a few days and nights, so that the experience and feats he gained in the battle would be endless.

"Devout Prayer Lv8 (68.36%) ......"

The upgrade progress has increased by more than ten percent compared to before, and this efficiency is not much slower than participating in the expansion activities on the Churt Peninsula in Charles' opinion, the astral boundary is vast and mysterious, and he has been in contact with Starsink in Angel Reef these days with missions rarely seen in the material plane, such as cleaning the astral vascular, surveying the astral storm, locating the multicolored pool, and so on.

The battle was over, and in less than an hour, the Gisyankees' Astral Fortress was destroyed and turned into a small meteorite swarm in the Astral Plane.

"You guys did a great job today."

Returning to the Astral Ship, Charles saw the Apostle Astral Alena coming over with a smile on his face.

"Excellent? In fact, we didn't do anything particularly good. Charles shrugged.

"Really?" Elena couldn't deny it, her golden eyes looked at him, "The battle statistics are out. Your squad ranked third in the number of kills in this lightning sneak attack. ”

"Third?" Charles frowned.

"Not satisfied?" Elena has a very accurate grasp of the pastor's psychology, don't look at the pastor's appearance that he doesn't care about anything on the surface, but he is actually very concerned about rankings, wins and losses, and so on.

"The first two are Angel Reef's famous large mercenary group, Night Wolf and Ghost Blade." Elena paused, "You know what Angel Reef is known as the most powerful ranger, right? Chuck, the legendary Mantis Ranger, is still the leader of the Ghostblades, but his third son, a Twin Blades Ranger who follows his father's example, is currently in charge of the Ghostblades. ”

"In the words of your material continent, Chuck's third son is still less than thirty years old."

"Chuck?" Charles suddenly remembered the Mantis Ranger he had seen, the terrifying legend who had gathered more than a dozen martial arts and cultivated all his skills to the master stage!

It is well known that the life cycle of the mantis man is very short, and few individuals live past the age of 30.

The 'Ghost Blades' in Angel Reef is actually more like a cluster community of mantis people, they worship the legendary Ranger Chuck, and under Chuck's protection, maintain the community, develop the community, and try to make as many people as possible through the threshold stage of 30 years old.

"Where's the other Night Wolf Band?" Charles also came to be curious. He was vaguely aware of Elena's intentions.

"The Ghost Blade is an organization of the Mantis People, and the Night Wolf is an organization of the Beasts." Elena said, "The werewolves occupy a leading position in the 'Wild Wolf' organization, although their leader is only a heroic high-level werewolf warrior, but he has extremely strong command and command ability, all the beasts are closely around the werewolf warriors, and the discipline is even better than our angel legion." ”

"So, ma'am, what do you mean?" Xingshen interjected.

Elena looked at the overly intelligent pair of astral travelers, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Next, you will carry out a secret mission personally granted by His Excellency the Angel of Xi. ”

"The people you are working with are the Night Wolves and the Devilblades."

"I'll tell you more about it on the way...... I was the commander of the operation. ”

Charles and Xingshen looked at each other and nodded.

……

A starship left the queue and burrowed into the void.

On board, the Apostle of the Astral Plane, Elena, is explaining the dangerous mission to the three groups involved in this covert operation.

"According to the intelligence of the Giss Yankees, the only astral energy channel from the fortress to the interior of the Gisyankee Empire was blocked, and the situation lasted for at least a month...... Intelligence shows that it is the Astral Giant that occupies the energy flow! ”

The crowd on deck was in an uproar.

"Astral Giant?!" The praying mantis and the bestials all looked terrified.

Hearing this, Charles's face also sank slightly.

Mevis said in his mind, "Astral giants, native astral creatures, Astral Dragons have seen them take a detour, and demons and Asmo gods should also be careful to keep their distance from them...... They can pass through the psychic storm of the astral plane unscathed, no one knows what they rely on to sustain their survival, and the life of each astral giant is so long, 10,000 years, tens of thousands of years...... I remember that there were many arcanists studying this creature back in the time of Nether, and there was a popular theory at the time. ”

"They say that the Astral Giant is an extension of the Astral Giant itself, and that some Astral Vascular will become Astral Giant after mutation, but what the truth is, no one can say clearly in the Nether era, and it is the same now."

"Be prepared."

"Now that you're on board, it's impossible to refuse this mission, I hope you're running into a relatively young astral giant." Mavis gloated a little.

After the commotion, there was an eerie silence on the deck of the starship.

“…… Why do you have to choose this route? ”

The leader of the 'Ghost Blade Regiment', a half-hero-level mantis ranger, said in a deep voice, "You should know what the Astral Giant is!" Nothing can shake them in the Astral Plane, not even the Astral Dragons! ”

"But we must banish the Astral Giant, and even kill it!" Elena's tone suddenly became cold and serious.

"Only through this astral passage will we be able to quickly insert ourselves into the hinterland of the Gisyankee Empire...... In this decade, His Excellency Xi Angel does not intend to engage in a protracted war with the Giss Yankees, so we must stab our sword into the heart of the enemy to counter them before the Gisyankee Empire reacts! ”

Elena said, emphasizing that "no matter what, this route must be cleared. Angel Reef will give you a satisfactory reward, swear in the name of the Holy Angels! ”

The Ghost Blades and the Night Wolves shrank distinctly in a corner of the deck and exchanged views in a low voice.

Charles looked at Xingshen, "What about you, how are you?" ”

He felt that he should ask the female mage's opinion, after all, the two of them did not travel in the astral realm by projection, but the ontology, and if they died, they would have to pay a heavy price, and direct demotion was predictable.

Xing Shen Shen just arrived at lv25 yesterday and unlocked the sixth layer of the magic net, if she drops the level, then the spell slot she just lit up will fall into a gray seal state again.

"Is there a choice?" The Lady Karinshan gave him a strange look. The little look seemed to ask the pastor how he had suddenly become a mother-in-law.

"There's really no choice." Charles shifted his gaze to his taskbar, and after the Astral Apostle Elena's words were finished, the system forcibly stuffed a task:

"[Faction Battlefield - Astral Giant] (Sub-Legend)."

[Description: What kind of monster is the Astral Giant?] Most Bestiaries are vague. Luckily, this time you have the opportunity to witness the true face of this astral monster, banish or kill the giant, and let the army of the Dawn Angel Griffin smoothly break through the fortified line on the periphery of the Gisyankee Empire along the astral energy flow channel, and go straight to the heart of the Gisyankee Empire. 】

[Reward: Within the power of the Angels, you can make any request to Angel Reef. 】”

"[Penalty for failure: The Angel Reef battle plan has run aground, and the attitude of the Celestials towards you has turned to a persistent 'coldness', until the next turnaround event, otherwise no faction quest will increase the Angel's favor. 】

Charles looked at the mission information, speechless.

What else could he say.

The failure penalty cannot be ignored. As the ruler of Angel Reef, if the celestial creatures let them see that you are unhappy, then they will definitely not be able to get mixed up, and anything like earning Astral Coins to buy Astral Stones may encounter obstacles.

Compared to punishment, the reward is quite interesting. Can you make any requests within the scope of Xi Angel's ability? Charles couldn't help but touch his chin, if it corresponds to the quality of the mission, wouldn't it mean that he and Xingshenshen can ask the Angel for a piece of legendary props?

The rewards at this level are enough for players to spell once. The same is true for the Shire. He doesn't lack much equipment, the creator set is being collected, but he is short of money, and the bottomless pit of funds for the construction of the territory has to find a way from one piece of high-quality equipment. Charles also tasted the sweetness after reselling the secondary artifact ring and some sub-legendary treasures.

As a result, the Night Wolves, the Devilblades, Charles, and Starsink all agreed to participate in the operation.

"Rest well, I'll let you know when you get to the place of battle." Elena walked into the captain's room.

"Hello!"

The leader of the Ghost Blade Regiment walked over and took the initiative to greet Charles and Xingshenshen.

It was a mantis ranger, and it was difficult to discern age, appearance, or gender just by looking at their insect-like shells, but the mantis man spoke the lingua franca, albeit with a strange accent, but Charles understood it, and could detect the kindness of the leader.

"Hello!" Charles replied with a smile.

“…… Are you the Arrivals who have made a name for themselves at Angel Reef in recent times? I heard that you come from the physical plane and are born to be the subjects of the gods...... To be honest, I am full of curiosity about the Holy Prens, since a while ago, the name of the 'Holy Presence' has been circulating among the plane merchants who come and go to Angel Reef, and the vast majority of the astral people don't know anything about you...... "The Mantis Ranger is a bit talkative and familiar, and after meeting, he talked about it endlessly.

Contrary to the mantis people who carried goodwill from the Ghost Blade Regiment, at the more than twenty beast human astral mercenaries of the Night Wolf Regiment, Charles could only feel indifference and rejection.

"Hey, leave those guys alone!"

The leader of the mantis people patted Charles on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "That group of werewolves is notoriously arrogant, they don't even give face to the legends, they have a strong internal organization, so there is no need to make friends with other mercenaries to destroy the unity within the clan...... But we mantis people are different, in the physical plane, mantis people rely on very few resources to live, and because of the life limit, the members of the mantis people group change every day, we begin to adapt, know how to distinguish between friends and enemies......"

There was a hint of mockery of the werewolf in his words.

Loyalty and bravery are the labels of the mantis people, and from the perspective of faction studies, the mantis people are also partners to be trusted. In the face of too much uncertainty in the astral giant, Charles's thoughts at the moment are similar to those of the mantis leader:

Don't make enemies.

Unity can be the power of unity.

Charles begins a conversation with the leader of the Mantis, and tells the leader of the Mantis Men about his first day on Angel Reef.

"Oh my god, my stubborn father has challenged Master Kalai again?" Doron covered his face with a look of shame, "This is the first time he has failed the challenge, you go to the taverns and inns on Angel Reef to listen, how many jokes are about him?" Until the start of this war, I led the Ghost Blade Regiment on missions outside, and who knew that not long after I came back, I heard the news of his defeat from you......"

Doron goes into pouring bitter water, and Charles becomes the listener.

……

Silver Void.

The scene here is very different from the rest of the astral plane

A wide blue band of light like a river, like an aurora, spans from one end of the astral plane to the other, and near the band of light, there are white spiderweb-like astral vasculatures, these ephemeral web-like objects are like light and shadow projections, and the visual effect is very illusory.

"Boom"

This void suddenly felt a tremor, and an incomparably deformed huge monster dragged its hill-like body, blocking the dark blue light belt, and opened its bloody mouth, constantly absorbing meteorites, corpses, tattered scrap iron and other dazzling debris from the light belt, and swallowed it into the void stomach in one go, and then with a thunderous grunt, the deformed monster's tumor-like belly quickly dried up again, and a dangerous cyclone similar to a mental storm was faintly released around the body.

If you look closely, it's not hard to spot a thick tail that looks like a silver thread trailing behind the deformed monster.

Not far away, a starship was suspended in the void, and it had been observing the astral giant from a safe distance for some time.
