Chapter 272: Coming Home
A rock moved, and suddenly cracked a few openings around it, protruding long, thin compound feet. A few eyes rolled up on the surface of the rock, but it was a strange beast disguised as a stone. This dangerous species usually camouflages itself as rocks and attacks as soon as its prey passes by. Today, however, it apparently had no intention of hunting, because its well-developed senses detected a strong tremor that was spreading along the mountain wall.
This tremor, almost like a volcanic eruption, is caused by a strong and violent energy.
However, there are no volcanoes in the vicinity of the Badlands, and the dangerous species do not know where the tremors come from, but instinctively avoid them. It had just moved a few meters away when suddenly it was dark. At this time, there was still some time before sunset, and the eyes of the dangerous species were looking at the sky. The sky was overcast and the lead clouds were thick, and countless purple-black rays appeared in the sky above the mountain, and they were constantly swimming around the air like swimming fish.
There is energy in every ray of light that threatens the dangerous species!
An orange-red flame of light struck the side, and from the ground, it looked as if it was about to split the sky in two. Filled with a domineering taste, the orange-red flame was as straight as the purple-black swimming light, and the latter's swimming accelerated, quickly cutting through the orange light, and finally twisting it into pieces. The purple-black streamer swirled sharply, and the rays intertwined with each other, forming a dark purple torrent, blasting straight along the source of the orange-red light flame, as if it was a counterattack.
The sky was getting darker, and the sky sounded like a thunderclap for no reason, like the roar of the gods.
Suddenly there was an orange flash of lightning in the lead cloud.
This is a bit of a puzzle for the dangerous species, which has inhabited this mountain range for several years. I have seen thunderbolts in summer and electric light in winter, but I have never seen lightning of this color.
It wasn't some lightning, it was a highly condensed sword light. The source power and flames are all confined to the limit, without the power of vastness, but it implies a majestic power. Like lightning, the sky was bright and dark, and it had already struck the dark purple torrent. In comparison, Zitao's speed was as slow as a snail.
A muffled shout rang out in the sky.
The purple waves stirred and set off huge waves, dyeing half of the sky purple. Then the light flickered, and the orange electric purple wave exploded, turning into a two-color flame of light, dividing the sky in half.
The sky was full of fire and rain.
It's just half orange and half dark purple.
The orange fire fell to the ground and burned endlessly. When the purple flame falls, everything decays.
The dangerous species was first trying to dodge the orange flames, and kept moving. accidentally entered the range of the purple flame, got a ball, and immediately half of the body melted silently. This dangerous species died, and in the eyes that were completely tarnished at the end of the day, a figure descended from the sky. Then the ball of his foot stomped on the eyeball.
The Poridon Wolf gasped for breath, and the Grand Priest's robes were cut in the east and west, making the robes look like strips of cloth hanging from his body. Poridon held a bone staff called "Plague", surrounded by purple and black light like a fish, but it was a certain ability to attack and defend. On the other side of him, in the valley basin hundreds of meters away, a long red hair fluttered in the wind, and he could see that Polydon's pupils were repeatedly expanding and contracting.
After a long time, he said: "If we continue to fight like this, we will only lose both." Beautiful queen, the battle on that side seems to be over. Why don't I mention yì, how about we stop here? ”
He used a human language, but the pronunciation needed to be corrected.
Under the red hair, Merlin's graceful face showed a resolute look, contrary to the usual gentle appearance, she said categorically: "I refuse." ”
"Are you crazy? Didn't you hear clearly, I already said that if you continue to fight, you will only lose both! ”
"I'm not deaf." Merlene hung down her greatsword diagonally and broke the prison: "So that's the difference between me and you, Polydon. You want to lose both, but what I want is to fight you here! ”
The toes pressed against the ground, and the ground first sank, and then a puff of mud and sand spewed up. Merlene's figure leaned forward and charged at Polydon. The Hellbreak Greatsword pulls a string of sparks on the ground, drawing a straight line. On the other side of the line, of course, is the high priest of the sword demon.
"Maniac!" Poridon couldn't help but scream.
The distance of hundreds of meters was only a blink of an eye at Merlin's feet, and at the end of Poridon's scream, the Prison Breaking Giant Sword had already flicked up, with a domineering and brilliant posture, as if the whole world was going to be split, and the murderous aura slashed towards Poridon. Poridon stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and a dark purple shield intertwined between his breaths, and the skeleton of Sensen appeared on the shield. It was obviously a pattern composed of source power, but it was like a real thing, giving birth to an eerie and cold aura out of thin air.
Swords and shields clashed, and the entire valley was shaken.
Polydon's shield of source power immediately split apart, and the fragments burst into the sky, decomposing in the air, and finally turning away from the sand. However, the shield had already lost the figure of Polydon, and he quickly moved and retreated, and in a blink of an eye, he had escaped for thousands of meters, leaving only an unwilling howl: "Queen, see you next time, I swear to take your head!" ”
Merlin snorted, "Coward." ”
Then he put away his sword and left.
At dusk, Soary, who was at the head of the wall, finally saw a red-haired figure on the horizon on the other side of the star.
"General Merlin is back!" Sawa shouted, voices echoing throughout the base.
When Merlin walked into the command hall, Gao Lei, Allen and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Merlin, they all straightened up to show their respect for the general. From Sawya's mouth, Alan already knew that Merlin was fighting Poridon alone, so he allowed the Rose Queen to join the battlefield in time. At this moment, seeing Mei Lin returning, although there were many injuries on her body, even the magic armor was damaged. She herself is in good spirits, and her injuries seem to be fine.
Poridon is among the three top powerhouses of the Sword Demon, even if he is ranked last, he should not be taken lightly. Mei Lin was able to return calmly, which shows that she is hard at the bottom of her hands, and she is worthy of being a fierce man in the four generals/generals of the Federation.
After Sawa briefly reported to her about the situation at the forward base, Merlin nodded and said to Allen, "You did a good job, second lieutenant. Winnie will be proud of you. ”
Alan looked at Gorley and Sawa and said, "If it weren't for Colonel Gorley, we might not be able to hold the base. ”
"That's what they're supposed to do." Merlin said indifferently.
Gao Lei asked: "General, the forward base has been held, what are your plans next?" ”
"Establish a supply line from the Thunderfire Base here, and as for the army, it won't be long before our Rose Queen will be here with half of her forces." Merlin said simply.
"Division? The war of the plain ......"
"Naturally, it was up to Russen." Merlin smiled, "I have already negotiated with him, and given the importance of this operation, the Death Spread will fully support us." Of course, in return, the military exploits of conquering the holy miracle afterwards will be their three achievements. ”
He also said to Allen: "The information brought back by the second lieutenant is very important, and I will give you 10% at that time." ”
Without giving Alan a chance to refuse, Merlin continued, "Next, I will take Hou Hou to Buddha Lake. In this way, inch by inch approached the holy miracle. ”
Gao Lei frowned: "Why don't you attack the past directly?" ”
"Of course, it's to distract the ten, and in the end, it's to make them undecided." Merlin clapped her hands and said, "Okay, that's the end of the military business." Rest well, oh Allen......"
Alan looked up.
Merlin smiled gently, "It's time for you to go home." ”
It was night, and the stars hung above the night. On the Underworld Star, it is rare to see such a clear night sky. Alan sat alone on the roof of the barracks, his hands on the ground, looking up at the sky.
Footsteps sounded, the fragrance was light, and Lucy sat down next to her: "What, homesickness?" ”
Alan shook his head and smiled: "How can you say such an exaggeration, it's just ...... It just happened a little suddenly. ”
"It's not sudden, after all, we've been here for two years. It's time for you to go back, have you ever wondered what you're going to do when you get home? Lucy asked with a wink.
Alan sat up straight, spread his hands and said, "Take care of some personal matters, and then, it's time to form my own hunting group." Next, I think I'll be on an expedition, and I'll have to contribute to the family. ”
"Sounds good, so I'll have a share, hunting group."
"Huh? I thought you had to get Idahua back. ”
Lucy puffed out her cheeks and said, "Why, are you going to drive me back so soon?" ”
Alan hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm just that you might go back." ”
"Miss Ben finally slipped out, so I don't want to go back so early. Besides, it's so interesting to explore other star fields, how can I not have my share! Listen to Captain Allen, the finances of the hunting group must be handed over to me! ”
"Yes yes yes ......"
Allen's ears moved, and he sighed, "Come out too, Willik, don't snicker." ”
Two more figures flashed on the rooftop, and Willik shouted, "Chief, we are also going to join the hunting group." ”
He bumped into Bloy.
The Highlander nodded and said, "I want to go home, though." ”
"No problem, let's rest for a while after we go back, and I'll also go to do some personal things."
"That's great, I just had time to learn another skill." Lucy clapped her hands.
"What is it?"
"Pastry making zuò."
"So Miss Lucy's dream is to be a pastry chef?"
"No, my ideal is to be the captain of an interstarcruiser!"
“……”
The next day, Alan and the others left the forward base by car. Before leaving, he also received good news that due to the cooperation between Russen and Merlin, the Bianjung army was able to stay, and they would continue to guard the advancing base, and Peter was appointed by Merlin as the director of the base. Hearing the news, Alan was sincerely happy for Peter and the Bianjung. Here, they finally found their own value.
Back at the Thunderfire base, a small starship of the Queen of Roses is already on standby at the airport. Due to Windsor Belo's busy military affairs, she couldn't send Alan and the others back this time, so the task fell to the Rose Queen. At the airport, Allen said goodbye to Colonel Goray and got on the starship. The starship slowly rose into the air, and through the porthole, Gao Lei and the others could be seen waving goodbye.
Alan felt in his heart, after two years of absence, I don't know how my relatives and friends on the earth are doing?
When the starship rises to a certain height, it begins to fly towards the Taiqi layer. Alan looked out of the porthole and could vaguely see the ground below, flickering with dazzling fires from time to time. I don't know if there is another big war going on in that land of peak fire. In any case, everything on the Underworld Star has nothing to do with him.
And another battlefield awaits him! R1058
