Mobius pulled off the collar of his shirt, revealing the shoulder wound that Horn had slashed that day. His wound had long since healed, but if one looked closely, they would find that there were a few thin chips the size of fingernails on both sides of the scar. Mobius looked at the wound and said, "Mr. Horn is indeed powerful. Even though the wound has healed, Qiu Yan's saber qi has not been completely removed until today …"
Roddy, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice, "That is indeed the mark of being injured by Qiu Yan. To be exact, it is a sign of being invaded by my father's Origin Energy. There is no other person in Babylon who will leave the same scar. "
Roddy's words undoubtedly indirectly proved Mobius's identity.
The clan heads cried out softly on the screen. They were surprised by Mobius's sudden appearance, and they were even more amazed at the president's courage to attack Horn and expose his own wounds to prove his identity.
Wallace couldn't help but ask, "Mr. President, where have you been all this time?"
'"It's a long story, but the more important thing now is to gather all of our strength to deal with the Nelms. I don't know how much information the impostor sold to allow the Nelms' fleet to arrive at our doorstep without anyone noticing. I only know that if we can't let go of our past grudges at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to turn things around this time. The Nelms came prepared, and they sent out all their nests. But not only are our two marshals far away at the interstellar defense line, there are only two main legions. At this time, I need everyone's strength! "Mobius said in a deep voice," Please trust me again. "
Warren and the others quickly exchanged glances, and then Randy of the Smith family said, "I can agree to your request on behalf of everyone, but you must tell us exactly how to cooperate."
'"I don't need you to mobilize your clan's forces to participate in the battle of the space fleet. I just need you to work together to defend Babylon when it is attacked. If enemy experts appear, then we will have to rely on your strength. After all, as you all know, the only powerhouse that the military can send out is General Silfa. In terms of high-level combat strength, we are too shabby. "
Donnie, the head of the Grant Clan, nodded and said, "This way of participating in the battle is not impossible. Let's do it this way. If the enemy's experts appear, my Grant Clan will dispatch all the experts, including me, to participate in the battle. "
The other Patriarchs nodded in agreement.
At this point, Mobius finally let go of one of his worries. Even if these clans did not have top-notch experts like Capullo and Windsor Bellow, there were still plenty of generals. With this group of high-level combat power, they were at least not afraid of the people of Nelm using experts to break through and destroy them. At this time, Mobius missed Horn very much. Judging from Horn's ability to seriously injure him with a single saber strike that day, the true level of that veteran expert should not be much different from Capulo's.
If he were in charge of Babylon, Mobius would be more at ease.
Mobius didn't know that Horn was in Babylon right now.
Next, a high-ranking military official was in charge of arranging the respective areas for the nobles and experts to defend, while Mobius left the conference room. As soon as he walked out, Geffen from the intelligence office trotted up and hurriedly reported, "Mr. President, we have contacted Marshal Capullo and the others. The two marshals said they would return to Earth immediately. Although the Rainbow Bridge has been destroyed, we still have the Gemini satellite, which is enough to guide the two marshals to open a warp tunnel near the moon. "
"Very good …"
At this moment, another soldier hurriedly ran over and glanced at Geffen. The latter winked and the soldier reported, "According to General Silfa's feedback, the Nelm fleet exchanged fire with the general's Black Wing Legion after breaking through the Ring of Dawn. However, there were too many enemy ships, and General Silfa's army was unable to intercept them all. Now that the Nelm army has dispersed and is entering the atmosphere, the general wants us to prepare for battle. "
Mobius took a deep breath and said, "Is it finally here …"
The deep night enveloped the small town on the surface. The people who were sleeping soundly were awakened by a strange howl. Then, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky. The people hiding in the house were like helpless little beasts that had encountered their natural enemies. Apart from trembling in the shadows, they were at a loss for what was going to happen to them.
Driven by curiosity, a youth climbed to the window. He looked out, but apart from the thick clouds, he could not see anything else. Just as he was about to retract his head, the clouds suddenly lit up. It was as if the sun had risen in the clouds, and the thick clouds became brighter and brighter. It was still early before sunrise, and the strange light made the youth even more curious.
"Come back, Ah Nan." The youth's mother, a simple middle-aged woman, said anxiously. Beside her, there were two younger girls, obviously the youth's younger sisters.
The youth turned around and said, "Mom, there's light in the sky. They illuminate the clouds."
Of course, the woman knew that the gradually brightening light outside the window had already explained everything. But as the light grew brighter, the woman's heart beat even harder, as if something terrifying was about to descend from the sky. The dogs in the town also began to bark wildly, but no one dared to make a sound. The entire town was deathly silent, and in this silence, that inexplicable howl grew louder and louder.
Finally, a warship with smooth lines pierced through the clouds and flew diagonally toward the town below.
It was followed by a second, then a third...
There were a hundred flying ships piercing through the clouds, and they were like silver fishes gliding gracefully through the air. When they were about to touch the buildings on the ground, the flying ships blasted down streams of light. Like a rain of light, the beams fell on the town, causing a series of dense explosions. The buildings in the town were toppled over like toy blocks, and the people in the houses screamed. But they were either buried under the collapsed buildings or buried in the flames of the explosions outdoors.
At the beginning of the air raid, when the first beam of light caused an explosion on the ground, the youth named Ah Nan was so frightened that he hugged his head and shrank in a corner. It was only after the explosion that he heard his mother's weak cry. The youth turned around and saw that a corner of the house had collapsed, crushing his mother and two sisters inside. Ah Nan hurriedly ran back, crying as he dug up the bricks. His mother shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Don't worry about us, Ah Nan. Run, run. "
The youth refused, and his mother suddenly slapped him and shouted, "Do as I say!"
Ah Nan was stunned for a moment before he ran out of the door crying. Looking at the youth who left the house, the woman smiled. Although she would soon die, at least her son would have a chance to survive. Unfortunately, just as this thought arose, he saw a beam of light descending from the sky outside the house. Then, a sudden burst of flames drowned her son.
"No!" Just as the woman hurriedly shouted this word, the rest of the house collapsed, and darkness quickly drowned out her vision and her consciousness …
That night, countless towns disappeared under the artillery fire of the Nelms, and the surface armies of the various districts were attacked with varying intensity. In just one night, Earth was in flames of war.
In Babylon, Mobius, who had just received the latest report, sat down on a chair. His hands were trembling slightly. After entering Earth, the people of Nelm did not immediately rush towards Babylon. Instead, they separated their troops and crazily attacked the small towns and garrisons of the various districts on the surface. The other party cunningly avoided the main force of the Federation and stabbed the fragile joints of the Earth Federation!
The porthole of the starship reflected an angular face. Capullo bit a cigar and his heart was heavy.
He had already received the news and was aware of the current situation on Earth. Now, he regretted that he shouldn't have delayed at the interstellar defense line for too long. But before that, who would have thought that the people of Nelm would mysteriously evade the surveillance of the interstellar defense line and quietly appear near the moon? Capullo wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death to say that there were no spies inside and outside. After this incident, Windsor Bellow had already mentioned the fake president to him. Combined with the current situation, it seemed that the fake had leaked the layout of the interstellar defense line, allowing the people of Nelm to cross the defense line so easily and invade Earth.
Now, in the space outside the porthole, starships were driving into the dock of the space base. Those were transport ships, and Sirius had already mobilized all of them. Apart from leaving behind the necessary troops, about 60% of them would return to Earth to support them. However, the return of the army was not something that could be done with a single word. Apart from the transportation of necessary supplies, it would take some time for the defense of the defensive line and the distribution of reinforcements.
Based on Capullo's experience, it would take another ten hours for Sirius's army to move.
Every minute of this hour was very difficult for Capullo, but there was no change in his expression. The same was true of Windsor Bellow. Only this extraordinary calmness was qualified to command such a large army.
The door opened and an officer quickly walked out and reported, "Marshal, I've contacted Officer Seville."
Capullo threw away his cigar, stamped it out with his foot, and strode into the command center of the starship. On the high platform of the bridge, Seville's serious face was already reflected on a light screen. Capullo looked at his old subordinate and said calmly, "Have you received the news?"
"Yes, Marshal. Our headquarters on Earth has already sent the news. After receiving the news, I contacted General Roussen of the Blood Gate Stronghold. General Roussen has assigned an army to assist in the defense of the Monarch Descent Stronghold, and I have begun to gather troops and supplies. We will leave in about seven hours. "
