"Operation Black Sheep?" Roddy was shocked. "Has the invasion of Nelm reached the second stage? Then we can't take it lightly. It's reasonable for us to participate. But Father, let me go instead of you! "
Horn shook his head and smiled, "Are you worried about me, brat? Don't worry, my injuries from last time have basically healed. Even if I meet the Emperor of Nelm again, I won't be afraid. Instead, it's you. You're already the Patriarch. A good Patriarch should be in charge of the rear and be a qualified helmsman. Do you think I've been to the front lines easily since I became the Patriarch? "
Roddy frowned. Back then, Horn had indeed entered Nether Domain Star before he became the Patriarch. As for entering the Iron Prison and the battle of the Star Destroyer not long ago, it was after he stepped down as the Patriarch. For a moment, Roddy couldn't find anything to refute. Horn smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "There will be plenty of opportunities for you to go to the battlefield in the future, but there will be no saber light or sword shadow on your battlefield. However, in terms of danger, it will not be much less than a real battlefield. "
"Father …"
"Although the situation is difficult, I am optimistic about the expulsion of the Nelm people. What worries me is what will happen next. It can be said that the invasion of Nelm has completely broken the original Federation pattern. After the expulsion of the Nelm people, the entire Federation is bound to undergo a major reshuffle. The era of the Federation government and the nobles will never return. Large, even super armed groups will divide up the cake called benefits. " Horn's eyes were filled with worry as he said, "Apart from the Federation and our Aristocratic Society, the super armed groups that can be foreseen now will be the Gate of Freedom, the Light Concealment Society, and Capullo's Golden Lion." At that time, the Earth will no longer be the Federation's words, and the planet will be filled with more voices. "
"Then, with benefits, there will be all kinds of disputes, and even … war!"
Horn smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I'm worried about. Foreign enemies have never been the biggest enemy of mankind. Our enemy is, in fact, humanity itself … "
Roddy didn't know what to say.
Horn patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, that's after the expulsion of Nelm." I can foresee that Mobius, that man, can't see the hidden dangers. He believed that he would intervene. Perhaps he had already started to lay out his plans. As for us, we just need to do what we need to do. Rody, remember your responsibility. Never forget it. To be able to do this, you're already amazing. "
Roddy nodded heavily. The responsibility of the patriarch was to ensure the continuation and prosperity of the clan.
Late at night.
In this mountainous region, the night was far from dusky. The base of the Nelm people was working all day, and the flames rising from the ground illuminated the entire pit and the thin clouds in the night sky. The machines rumbled as transport vehicles and engineering vehicles shuttled between the bases. More than ten hours passed, and many turrets had been built around the base's perimeter and interior. Two smelting plants had already been built, and the transport vehicles were delivering the collected minerals to the smelting plants. The minerals would be decomposed there and converted into the energy needed for the base to operate.
Engineering vehicles were already building new factories, and soldiers were reinforcing the defensive lines. The construction of the Nelm base was progressing faster than humans had predicted.
Occasionally, a burst of energy would light up in the center of the base. No one knew what the people of Nelm were doing there. But no matter what they were doing, it was not a good thing for humans. Kedolf, who had put down his tactical binoculars, firmly believed in this. He was a captain of the Black Hawk of the Bescot Ground Army. Now, he was lying in ambush on a low hill with an assault squad. The entire assault squad was disguised. Under the cover of night, it was difficult to separate them from the nearby rocks. They also carried jammers to interfere with the Nelm's life detection system and prevent them from being discovered.
One of the team members whispered, "Captain, how long do we have to wait?"
"What's the hurry?" Kedolf scolded softly, "There will be a chance for you to kill him later. I'm afraid that you brats will be slaughtered."
A few of the team members laughed softly.
Kedolf said, "Now wait quietly. Our order is for the golden lion to attack before we act. Besides, without their artillery support, we will be blasted to pieces before we reach the periphery of the base. "
"Why aren't those lions here yet?"
Someone whispered, "What lion? They're not the main force this time. Maybe they're all cats and dogs."
Kedolf glared at the man and said, "Will you die if you say a word less, bastard? All of you, shut up … "
At the end of his sentence, a loud sound suddenly rang out above his head. Kedolf raised his head and saw a huge fireball rising. After the fireball, airships rushed down one after another and quickly slid past the top of the commandos' hiding place towards the Nelm base. In the next moment, half of the turrets at the Giant Crater Base turned their muzzles and fired chains of fire that cut through the night sky, heading towards the airships that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The battle finally began.
As the Nelm airship took off from the base, it began to tangle with the Golden Lion's warship in mid-air. The Golden Lion's ground forces also launched an attack. Armored flying vehicles quickly approached under the cover of the main battle chariots. The armored vehicle carriage opened and groups of soldiers swarmed out. Using the chariot as a cover, they began to attack the Nelm's ground defense line. In the blink of an eye, the base's air and ground flickered with flames, and explosions and cries resounded through the night sky.
The commando leader shouted, "It's time for us to go on stage. Charge!"
Under the night sky, dozens of commandos belonging to Black Hawk launched their charge. They bypassed the main battlefield and quickly broke through the enemy's defensive line. The mission of these commandos was to destroy the turrets of the base. With the Golden Lion attracting the attention of the enemy's main force, the commandos quickly sneaked into the base. The team members covered each other and advanced quickly. No one dared to stop. Countless streams of light shuttled around them, and explosive fireballs followed their footsteps. Stopping was equivalent to courting death!
Even so, when Kedolf approached a turret, three of his team members were already lying on the way forward. The captain had no time to mourn for his team members. He quickly took out a timed explosive from his backpack and installed it on the outer wall of the turret before continuing to move. A moment later, the turret's flames soared into the sky, and the cannons on the turret were blown into several pieces. The burning metal parts whistled away, and there was a rain of fire.
From the air, one could see that the turrets on the periphery of the base were collapsing at an extremely fast speed. The flames that exploded were like torches that were rapidly extending towards the hinterland of the base. After a smelter exploded, several sharp auras finally rose from the base. It was obvious that the experts in the base could no longer sit still.
At the same time that those auras rose, there were also a few auras in the golden lion that echoed from afar. The experts on both sides were clashing.
Kedolf and his team were advancing towards a munitions factory under construction. Suddenly, the outer wall of the factory split apart and a strange machine appeared from inside. The upper body of the machine was humanoid, with a distinct torso and two arms equipped with quantum cannons. The lower body was like an animal, with four thick legs, covered in metal armor, and four electronic eyes flashing with blue light on their heads. Anyone who had dealt with the Nelm army knew that this machine was the Nelm ground chariot. They could move in almost any harsh environment, and the Federation called them Annihilators.
As soon as the Annihilator appeared, its shoulder armor rose, and the twin beam cannons flipped out from inside fired at Kedolf's team. Kedolf roared for his teammates to disperse and dodge, while he rushed towards the Annihilator. He passed through the machine's legs and used the magic energy machine gun in his hand to sweep wildly. Unfortunately, the Annihilator's armor was too thick, and the magic energy machine gun could only sweep off a few pieces of armor. It did not damage its internal circuits and machinery at all.
The Annihilator ignored the bug under its abdomen and raised the quantum cannon in its arm. With a flash of light, a huge fireball rose from the ground. Its power was not something these commandos could contend against. Kedolf gritted his teeth and pounced on one of the Annihilator's thick legs, installing a time bomb on its thigh joint. When he jumped down, the bomb exploded and directly blew up the joint. The Annihilator immediately lost its balance and knelt to the side. Kedolf rolled out from under it and got up with dust all over his body. He saw the Annihilator turn towards him, and the muzzle of the quantum cannon was close at hand.
The light from the muzzle illuminated Kedolf's eyes. Just when he thought he would, the light from the cannon suddenly dimmed. Kedolf shouted and rolled away from the battery. He looked up and saw that the Annihilator's head had disappeared at some point. There was a person standing in the place where the head should have been, and an extremely thin long saber was hanging down from that person's hand. A ray of light appeared on the Annihilator's body. The light extended vertically and split its body in half. Then the machine separated into two sides. Lightning and fire sprayed out from inside, but the edges of the incision were shockingly smooth. As for the figure standing on the machine, he had already flown away before the Annihilator fell. Only then did Kedolf's team members run over.
Someone asked, "Who is that? He's so strong that he cut the Annihilator in half with one slash."
Kedolf clenched his fist and smashed it on his head. "Idiot, you can't even recognize Mr. Horn. I think you've lived in vain, kid."
"What? That's Mr. Horn?" The man was crying out in pain, but he jumped up when he heard the name. "Boss, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Kedolf spat in disdain.
Horn charged into the base alone with his saber. There were a few experts guarding the base, but compared to Horn, they were not worth mentioning at all. Horn casually killed one person on the way, and the rest were already fighting with the experts of the Golden Lion. Horn rushed straight to the center of the base. He felt waves of uneasiness. It was an inexplicable feeling, as if there was something terrifying in the center of the base.
