In the transport ship heading to the flagship of the Main Fleet, more than twenty cardinals stood silently on both sides, their expressions gloomy.
The seven cardinals of the Cold Star Fleet were divided into a group, but they stood opposite each other clearly. The First Lord of the Sea Kingdom and the other three were on one side, while Maldini and the other two were on the other side. The empty space in the middle was like a solid barrier, making people feel ruthless and cold.
No one spoke, as if they were all thinking about their own things.
All the cardinals knew that once they left, they would die. The time they spent on the journey was the last moment of their lives. Their lives had already entered the countdown.
Some people looked at the starry sky outside the cabin window, gazing at the beautiful and resplendent starry sky. Some people closed their eyes as if they were in a meditative state, quietly spending the last moments that belonged to them. Some people clenched their fists and loosened them, their eyes revealing deep helplessness.
The First Lord of the Sea Kingdom looked across and glanced at Asio, who was behind Maldini. His expression was a little sad.
Once upon a time, this talented woman, who was known as the closest woman to a cardinal in the world, was the person he trusted the most. But now, she was so strange, as if they were separated by several races.
The summoning order of the main fleet did not explicitly state that the cardinals would be sacrificed. It only said that the cardinals were gathering to discuss the matter of breaking out. Although the cardinals knew that they would die if they went, and they would also die if they did not go, few people resisted. Other than the undefeatable strength of the main fleet, there was another condition on the summoning order.
Every cardinal could bring the heir of their race and the seeds of their race to the main fleet. When breaking out, the cardinals would fight to the death, and their heirs and seeds would break out of the siege together with the main ship where the Oracles were.
The cardinals had to die no matter what. Rather than dying in the hands of the enemy, it was better to die in their own hands. This could also create a chance for the continuation of their race, and allow their heirs and seeds to obtain the right to enter the main ship of the Oracles.
Behind the summoning order of the main fleet was a condition, a condition that the cardinals had to agree to.
Although many fleets, like the linear cardinal races, had left seed spaceships in the corners of the starry sky on their way to escape, just in case. Some were hidden on a certain planet, and some were floating in the dark starry sky, waiting for the opportunity to continue their race.
But now the entire galaxy was already the enemy's territory. Even if the seed spaceships could be successfully activated, how could their descendants survive in the enemy's starry sky?
If they couldn't do it themselves, how could they count on the weak descendants of those seed spaceships?
The Divine Emissary's main battleship was their only chance. All of the Origin Sect Venerables of the Alliance Army were gathered together, and the battleship was filled with the elites of the Starry Sky. If any of them could successfully break through, it would definitely be the Divine Emissary's main battleship.
As long as they escaped to the Dark Domain with the main ship, they would be able to obtain a chance of survival. From then on, they would be able to fight in the foreign lands, and they might be able to restore the glory of their race.
At this time, the true difference between races with cardinals and those without cardinals was shown. Without cardinals, they would not even have the chance to be killed in exchange for entering the main ship.
Compared to the uncertain Source Gate, a cardinal was the true stabilizing force of a race!
The Origin Gate no longer completely relied on the Race Life Force. Most cardinals could not be separated from the Race, and the Race could not be separated from the cardinals. The close relationship between the two was far better than the Origin Gate.
There were a total of seven cardinals on both sides of the Cold Star Fleet, which was extremely enviable. Many fleets didn't even have one until now.
However, it was hard for them to know the conflicts and difficulties within the Cold Star Fleet.
Even the power of the lord of the Sea Kingdom to choose his successor was taken away by his people. People seemed to be waiting for him to die and give the position to Asio.
As a cardinal of Yuan Tian stage Six in the Three Gods Realm, it was so miserable that other races simply couldn't understand it.
Ci E originally wanted to wait for his death to pass the contract to Kule, but it was rejected by Kule. Instead, he chose a talented young man from his people to follow him here.
The strange young man followed him nervously, which made him slightly disappointed.
Ao Mai insisted on giving the contract to the lady of the Hull family after his death, but what puzzled him was that the lady only agreed to follow him to the Alliance Army, but she didn't accept the contract.
Ba Yi didn't have such troubles. His degenerated people were even more united than the vampires. They even supported him to resist the summoning order at the cost of the extinction of their entire race. And now, the earthlings only had one cardinal.
The Heavenly Feather Race had two cardinals, which could carry two successors and two race seeds. The underground people who stayed on the original ship were overjoyed. They actually gave one of the seeds to them, which made the complicated situation on both sides even more complicated.
No one knew what Maldini was thinking about.
The races without cardinals could only prepare for a bloody battle, hoping for one in a billion luck.
…
"Have any of you seen your own spirit lord?"
In the cabin, a cardinal finally couldn't stand the suffocating and oppressive atmosphere. It broke the silence in the cabin. Not talking about the current war, it only talked about "gods and ghosts".
All the cardinals came from the same Alliance Army fleet. They had been fighting side by side for a long time and guarding against the Source Gate together. Although they came from different races, they were basically familiar with each other.
At this time, some people didn't want to talk, and some just shook their heads after hearing it, but they didn't answer.
The cardinal didn't want someone to answer it. It just wanted to break the oppressive atmosphere and said, "I still remember when I first became a cardinal, I was young and fearless. I swore to complete the Source Gate and get a glimpse of the spirit realm. In the end, I still couldn't resist the temptation of the world, and I became lazy in a few years …"
At this time, another cardinal finally interrupted, "When I became a cardinal, I was extremely proud. The name of the cardinal was spread all over the world within a day!"
Its words seemed to stir a certain place in the hearts of the cardinals at this moment. The third cardinal, the fourth cardinal … said one after another.
"When I became a cardinal, I went through a lot of hardships. I cultivated day and night, and I didn't know how long it was …"
"When I became a cardinal, many people regretted it. Even now, I can still remember that day …"
"When I became a cardinal, I got my revenge on that day. Now that I think about it …"
"When I became a cardinal, I made a lot of jokes at the grand ceremony. At that time …"
"When I became a cardinal, I wasn't as lucky as you guys. I was at war, and I can still vaguely remember …"
"When I became a cardinal, it was a coincidence. I was ordinary …"
…
The cardinals all told their stories, faster and faster, as if they were in a hurry. In the end, it didn't seem like they were telling it to others.
The First Lord of the Sea Kingdom was also listening. It didn't say anything, but it was also thinking about the years when it became a cardinal, the years when it was full of vigor.
As it was thinking, a faint smile that hadn't appeared for a long time appeared on its lips. At this time, the cabin suddenly fell silent, dead silent.
Oh, so the ship had arrived …
The ship had arrived, but the story of life was not over yet.
The First Lord of the Sea Kingdom tidied up his armor and didn't look at Asio again. He was the first to stand up and walk out of the cabin, leaving only a lonely back.
Ba Yi glanced at Maldini, who was opposite him, and Maldini also looked at him. The two of them didn't speak and walked out of the cabin.
Then Ci E, Ao Mai, Little Long Feather … One cardinal after another, silently walked out of the cabin. In the gradually deserted cabin, one sentence seemed to echo for a long time.
"When I became a cardinal …"
…
The flagship of the Alliance Army, which was also the main ship, was made of unknown metal. It wasn't very big, but looking up, the layers of structure seemed to have no end.
The heirs and seeds were arranged to the other side, separated from the cardinals.
The cabins carrying the embryos were also marked with new classification marks and transported to the Life Warehouse.
On the platform, cardinals of other B Fleets walked down the transport ship one after another. The cardinals who once had extremely high status in their race were silently lining up here, waiting for their own fate.
From afar, seeing a few Source Gates flying over, there was a slight commotion in the group of cardinals.
Those Source Gates landed on the platform with a cold expression. They took a quick glance, and the cardinals who were swept by felt as if their souls had left their bodies and couldn't resist.
After a while, the Source Gate that landed in front said, "Is everyone here?"
The Source Gate behind it said, "Everyone is here. A few of them are not bad. Let's start the formation."
The Source Gate in front turned to the cardinals and said, "Remember your B Fleet number. Those who hear the number, go to the corresponding mark."
Its dark energy fluctuations were dignified and unquestionable. Its cold gaze swept around again, and it began to distinguish "people".
When the First Lord of the Sea Kingdom and the others heard the number of their B Fleet, they silently flew to the corresponding mark. When they landed, they found that there was already one waiting there.
"Venerable One, it's you?" someone said in surprise.
They knew the person who was waiting. It was actually the Golden Armor Source Gate that had been fighting with them until now.
Someone thought to himself, 'Fine, it's better to die in the hands of an acquaintance than a stranger.
Maybe I can take care of my people a little. '
"Don't talk, follow me." The Golden Armor Source Gate quickly glanced at the cardinals it had requested to be assigned, and its eyes darkened.
Immediately, a few sharp cardinals seemed to have heard the hidden meaning, and their hearts started to beat faster.
The Golden Armor Source Gate ignored their wild guesses and immediately led them to the depths of the main ship.
Unexpectedly, it was still too late. A stream of light arrived in the blink of an eye and landed in front of the Golden Armor Source Gate, blocking their way.
Then, a few more streams of light flew over.
The newcomer glanced at the Golden Armor Source Gate and said, "There are three cardinals here. You can't take them away."
The Golden Armor Source Gate said coldly, "What right do you have to take the people assigned to me?"
The newcomer did not allow it to question and ordered, "They have already reached the Third-Order Cardinal Realm. The Divine Envoy needs them."
The Golden Armor Source Gate sneered, "Sir Divine Envoy needs them? I think it's you who needs them. "
The newcomer said indifferently, "If I say the Divine Envoy wants them, then the Divine Envoy wants them. You have to give them to him even if you don't want to!"
The Golden Armor Source Gate's eyes darkened. The newcomer activated the Source Gate's technique and attacked it in a line.
Then, its figure moved slightly and a similar line of golden light rushed out.
Two extremely tiny Source Gate techniques collided in mid-air. As the energy level soared, dark energy vibrated and lifted the Golden Armor Source Gate.
Blood immediately seeped out of its body. Its body, which had already been seriously injured, could not withstand such a tough confrontation.
The newcomer said disdainfully, "I gave you face, but you refused. Even if you didn't, so what?"
The Golden Armor Source Gate knew that this person had the Great Source Gate behind him and had an extremely high realm, so it was not afraid.
However, it flew back and stopped the newcomer who had captured the three people from its cardinals. One of them was the Sea Country's First Temple Master, who was also in the Third God Realm.
"You're courting death!"
The energy in the newcomer's body rose rapidly. With a wave of its hand, a ray of light slapped the Golden Armor Source Gate's body. Then, it flew up and floated in the air, looking down at the Golden Armor Source Gate coldly.
At this time, a voice came from the main ship. "This kind of Source Gate that doesn't know the situation is already seriously injured and can't be of much use. It's fine to kill it, lest we waste resources. I'll talk to the Divine Envoy."
The newcomer received permission and said to the Golden Armor Source Gate with a cold light, "Did you hear that? Go to hell! "
At this time, the Sea Country's First Temple Master suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, Venerable One, I'm willing to go with you."
The other two cardinals of the Three God Realm hesitated for a moment and also walked forward. They still had to go. If they went, they might be able to save the Golden Armor Source Gate.
Naturally, the newcomer could not kill the three cardinals of the Three God Realm together. That would be too wasteful.
The Sea Country's First Temple Master helped the heavily injured Golden Armor Source Gate up and said, "Venerable One, thank you for your kindness. We are destined to die. It's just a matter of time."
The Golden Armor Source Gate sighed and said, "I promised your commander that I would try my best to protect you. He is the most outstanding military genius I have ever seen. What a pity, what a pity."
The Sea Country's First Temple Master knew what it was pity about. The Golden Armor Source Gate was not a kind person. When it was time to kill the cardinals, he would kill them without hesitation. The reason why he wanted to protect them must be that the genius commander had told the Golden Armor Source Gate about some plan and made him believe it.
In terms of efficiency, under the command of the commander, the cardinals being "eaten" was the most wasteful move.
The Sea Country's First Temple Master took a step back and smiled at Ba Yi and the others. "Goodbye."
With that, the three of them walked in the direction indicated by the newcomer.
However, at this time, the newcomer suddenly turned around and activated a powerful Source Gate technique. He charged towards the Golden Armor Source Gate and said coldly,
"Trash Source Gate like you, it's a waste to keep you alive. We want all these cardinals!"
The Sea Country's First Temple Master was shocked. Only then did he remember a saying: Source Gates are unreasonable.
However, it was already too late for him to block for the Golden Armor Source Gate. He could only watch helplessly as the newcomer charged over.
The other cardinals of the same fleet could not move either. Under the control of the Source Gate's power, they seemed to be tightly bound.
Just as the Golden Armor Source Gate was about to be killed on the spot, a sword Qi suddenly appeared in the starry sky and instantly hit the Source Gate's technique all the way back to its original form!
The newcomer did not expect that someone would dare to attack him. He said angrily, "Who is it? How dare you be so presumptuous on the Oracle's flagship!? "
A cold voice came from the starry sky. "So what if you are the Oracle?"
The next moment, a dark shadow appeared in the sky.
