After the explosion at the rear of the Star Destroyer, another dark purple firefly shot out from the front of the bow. Following that, explosions began to appear in the middle of the Star Destroyer. Twisted metal fragments scattered in all directions with flames. Thick smoke rose from the hull of the ship. From a high altitude, countless black dots could be seen scattered in the air. Apart from the fragments of the ship, there were also many people of Nelm who had been thrown out of the ship. The Star Destroyer was like a heavily injured beast, letting out a muffled howl as it swayed towards the east. The hull of the ship pulled out a thick, pitch-black pillar of smoke in the sky, marking the trajectory of the Star Destroyer.
The battlefield suddenly became strangely quiet. Both the enemy and us stopped and watched as the giant ship landed far away on the other side of the horizon.
In the Star Destroyer, there were still explosions in the crew area that had turned into a sea of fire. The Emperor of Nelm stood in the flames, and Cajasso's eyes were somewhat blank. In front of him was a straight passageway that ran through the entire hull of the ship. This passageway was completely his masterpiece. The moment Horn drew his saber, he also released his killing move, "Negative Energy Burst". The torrent of dark purple fireflies hit Horn squarely, but the result was somewhat different from what Cajasso had expected.
With the battle prowess Horn had displayed, he could completely withstand this move. But he didn't. When his Qiu Yan was completely unsheathed, the dazzling saber light that was like the rising sun sliced through him, the crew behind him, and even the tail engine components. Horn simply allowed himself to be sent flying by the flood. Of course, it wasn't that he wasn't strong enough. Instead, he used Cajasso's Origin Energy Flood to take the opportunity to leave the Star Destroyer.
Even though Horn was blasted by the negative energy explosion, he would still be in a daze and his injuries would not be light. However, he was the first human to provoke Cajasso and still be able to escape unscathed. The Demon Lord suddenly smiled. He realized that he wasn't angry at all. For the first time, he admired that human a little. Then, his lower abdomen turned cold. He reached out and pressed down. His palm was already sticky.
It was a wound cut by Horn's knife, and only now did it open and bleed.
Such an opponent!
Seeing the Planet Destroyer finally disappear in the sky, the Federation soldier who discovered the abnormality of the giant ship couldn't help but cheer, then cheers rose one after another, resounding throughout the battlefield. The soldiers didn't know what happened on the Planet Destroyer, but it is an indisputable fact that the enemy's flagship has now crashed. This is undoubtedly a great boost to the morale of the Federation. The officers on the battlefield also seized this hard-won opportunity and loudly ordered their soldiers to attack.
The morale of humans was as high as a rainbow, while the morale of the people of Nelm fell to the bottom. After losing two lines of defense in an instant, the alien army began to retreat. The battle for the remains of the floating island finally ended with the victory of the humans.
In a small town hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, including Capulo, the room of generals or old party leaders had long since left the smoky room and stood in the open space. Although there was only a thick pillar of black clouds left in the sky, it attracted their gazes. Capullo was the first to lower his head and exhale, "It was Horn."
"What?"
"This …"
Capullo and Horn were people of the same level. When the tail of the Planet Destroyer was slashed apart by a golden saber light, Capullo was able to determine whose hand it was based on the aura in the saber light. He touched his chin, which looked a little sloppy because he hadn't trimmed it in recent days. "You're really something, Horn. Forty years ago, you created a legend, and forty years later, you created another. Bescot, Bescot! "
On a rocky mountain far from the battlefield, a rock lizard was foraging for food. For the Rock Lizard, the dispute within the planet at this moment hardly affected its life. Whether it was presided over by the Federation or invaded by the people of Nelm. As long as it was alive, it needed to forage for food to survive. It already had a target, a stone scorpion that lived in the mountains. The stone scorpion's appearance was yellowish-brown, and this natural protective color allowed it to escape many hunters.
But today, the Rock Lizard had discovered it. Perhaps this stone scorpion was not fated to die. Before the Rock Lizard could move, a vast aura suddenly descended from the sky. Then, a dark purple firefly flashed past, splitting the entire sky into two. Something fell from the dark purple streak of light. At first, it was just a black dot. In the blink of an eye, the Rock Lizard clearly saw a figure fall near the stone scorpion, scaring its prey away.
A human figure was reflected in the eyes of the Rock Lizard. Then, it turned around and left the place. The prey ran away, and it had to find another place to hunt.
After another half an hour, a few flying cars appeared on the mountain. Four flying cars arrived near the human at lightning speed. A burly figure rushed out of one of the flying cars and rushed to the human's side to help him up. He asked anxiously, "Father, how are you?"
The human, who was obviously an old man, opened his eyes. His expression was a little weak, but he still smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to lie down for ten days and a half a month this time."
The burly man laughed.
These two were naturally Horn and Roddy.
Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the bases and human settlements on the surface. The Star Destroyer had been shot down, and the wreckage of the floating island had been successfully recovered. In this beautiful victory, one person had contributed greatly. That was Horn, who had broken into the Star Destroyer alone, killed three enemy generals, severely injured Demon Lord Cardoso, and destroyed the engine of the Star Destroyer. For a time, the Bescot Family became the most talked about topic.
An automatic door opened and Mobius strode in. Behind him were six or seven secretaries, each with a brain tablet in their hands. On the screen were electronic documents that needed the President's signature. Seeing a big-bellied man sitting in the office, Mobius gestured for the team of secretaries to leave. The fat man was naturally Alstair. The minister smiled and said, "Looks like you have to find a secretary general."
"I want to too, but talent is hard to come by. I'll just use it for now."
"Then what are your plans after the battle?"
"Of course." Mobius sat down in his chair, his face flashing with imperceptible fatigue. "Now that the Star Destroyer of Nelm has fallen, it's undoubtedly a slap in the face to their emperor, and it's also a way to get some face back for the fall of Babylon," he said. But this is far from enough. More than half of our surface bases have been lost, and more have been moved to underground or semi-underground bases. "And because of the leaked information, I had to move many people from important base factories, and I still haven't settled down yet."
"So next, we have to continue fighting. But we can't fight too fiercely. We have to fight slowly. This is to divert the attention of the Nelms so that we can gather strength for the final counterattack. At the same time, it was also to stall for time. Adahua Planet's fleet was about to arrive. Sirius reinforcements will also arrive in the future. "At that time, I'll see if I can get Sirius and Adahua Planet fleets to act together and defeat the Nelm fleet that is currently in outer space."
Alstair glanced at him and said, "The situation isn't that optimistic, is it?"
Mobius couldn't help but smile bitterly, "That's true." Right now, the Gate of Freedom and the Light Concealment Society were on the same side on the surface, but it was unknown whether they would fight to the death and how much they could fight to the death. Even they were like this, not to mention those dictatorial warlords. In the end, Capullo has traumatized us too much. Not only did the Golden Lion completely break away from the Federation Army, even more than 40% of the officials in the old party had been poached by him. "Just filling the vacancies of these officials who have left has given me a headache."
"Without the Golden Lion's trump card army, we only have Sirius left now. As for the elite legion, Fendi's Iron Fist Army has temporarily merged with Silfa's Black Wing. Melinda's Rose Empress and Russen's Death Spreading have their own important tasks. If it's not necessary, I don't want to rashly transfer them back. Otherwise, what we've done on Nether Domain and Paradise Star will be wasted. "
"On Earth, relying on Sirius and Black Wing alone is far from enough to intimidate the surface military forces of the Gate of Freedom."
"But from the looks of it, you clearly have other plans." Alstair smiled and said, "Let me guess, you called me here to be a lobbyist?"
Mobius nodded.
"Who doesn't know that Horn single-handedly took out the Planet Destroyer of Nelm? I've tried my best to overestimate him, but it wasn't until this moment that I realized how shallow I was in the past. Horn's combat strength should be the same as Capullo's. There will be many operations that will require the assistance of the Golden Lion. I need, and even need, an expert who can contend against Capullo by my side. Otherwise, no matter what, I won't have the confidence to challenge that old lion. "
Mobius leaned forward slightly, "For humanity and for the Federation." Alstair, you must get Horn on our side. Right now, I urgently need such a top-notch combat force to support me. If he agrees, then with Windsor Bellow, we can make Capullo fearful. Otherwise, many of the next operations will be difficult to carry out smoothly. "
"It's fine for me to make a trip. I just don't know what authority you're going to give me."
"Tell Horn, whatever he wants, as long as I can give him. Apart from not being able to give the Federation away, even if he wants me to step down. When I drive the Nelms out, I can immediately resign! "
Alstair was stunned and said, "Are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Mobius smiled again, "Of course, with Horn's knowledge, he definitely won't make such a condition. He should know very well that the president's current position is incomparably hot, both before and after the war. Even if I'm willing, someone has to take it. "
Alstair couldn't help but scold, "You're also an old fox."
"Compared to Capullo, I'm far inferior."
"Alright, then I'll go to Bescot and wait for my news."
