"What's going on?"
Hearing the earsplitting alarms that were each louder than the last, Li Yao shuddered hard. "I-I did not say what I said just now at all. I only thought about it in my head. I can't be so unlucky to have been discovered before I officially snuck in, can I?"
"I only said 'well', too. It was not a word at all but just an exclamation!"
Pondering for a moment, the mental devil mumbled, "Is it possible that the repulsive force of this world for us has greatly increased as our level improves? How mysterious …"
Looking at the battle puppets that looked like iron hedgehogs with all their magazines and cannons opened, and at the chainswords and vibration sabers of all the guards around that were operating at a high speed, Li Yao felt that his head was exploding. "What kind of environment are we in right now, and you are still in the mood for jokes? Should so many battle puppets and guards come at us at the same time, we will have no choice but to flee!"
"Wait …"
The mental devil said, "They don't seem to be looking at us. Their target is not us!"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. He looked at the guards and battle puppets around. Although they were all aggressive and aggressive, it was true that none of them looked at him at all. All the jailors were defending the surroundings as if they were faced with a great enemy under the urging of the alarms.
"Has Li Linghai taken action in advance?"
Ten thousand contradictory thoughts popped up in Li Yao's head, but he could not figure out the truth of the 'enemy attack' at all.
The quakes and explosions below his feet, however, did not stop, as if a dragon made of magma was bashing the bottom of the Godly Might Prison brutally. "It doesn't make sense. The attack is clearly from the center of the planet, which is the bottom level of the Godly Might Prison. It is not a carpet bombardment from the sky. It is not the established tactic of the Deep Sea Fleet …"
While Li Yao was thinking quickly, a low-altitude patrol starship that was docked in the maintenance workshop of the underground space port suddenly hummed.
A dazzling spiritual shield immediately flowed around the starship, like a shark that had suddenly dashed out of the deep ocean. All the cannons and magazines were opened, revealing the hideous tusks.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The low-altitude patrol warship was undergoing maintenance and upgrade on the anti-gravity rune arrays and the power units on the maintenance platform. It could not move at all.
But it did not stop the hundred turrets around it from turning agilely and spurting out a barrage that enveloped the entire space port like a meteor shower.
The jailors inside the Godly Might Prison were naturally not as tough as the elites on the frontline. It never occurred to them that the hibernating starships docked in a corner of the spaceport would attack them.
Caught off guard, they were shot to the ground by the destructive storm that was close at hand. They covered their heads and scurried away in an extremely sorry state.
In the five hundred hibernation cabins that had not been thawed yet, many unlucky fellows were pierced through by the stray bullets. Before they could open their eyes, they were already shot into clusters of frozen minced meat.
"Are you kidding me? Who is so unbelievable?"
Li Yao could not hold it any longer. Bulging his eyes in the middle of the frost, he watched the burning shrapnel brushing past him and piercing through the hibernation cabins around him, burning the internal organs of the prisoners inside into nothingness while he tried to wake up his mitochondria, cells, muscles, and veins so that he could recover his peak combat ability as quickly as possible!
The stormy barrage raged for half a minute before the jailors and the battle puppets finally realized what was going on and launched their counterattacks at the low-altitude patrol warship.
Although the jailors and the battle puppets did not carry any powerful anti-material weapons, the low-altitude patrol warship was not a breed with indestructible armor, either. Under the bombardment of a thousand snakes of fire and mystic rays, the previously ivory spiritual shield was soon blown into orange, crimson, and deep purple, before it exploded like fragile glass and vanished into nothingness.
Without the protection of the spiritual shield, the low-altitude patrol warship was riddled with holes immediately. The internal structure was seriously damaged and could not support the heavy body anymore, collapsing deeply.
But the next second, the warehouse of crystals and the engine room of the low-altitude patrol warship exploded at the same time!
In the underground environment that was completely sealed, the consequences of such a suicide explosion could not have been more gory.
It was needless to say that the mysterious intruder had also placed tremendous poisonous materials inside the low-altitude patrol warship. As the flames soared, all the materials were vaporized by the heat and turned into raging, inky, poisonous gas that was spreading out quickly.
Li Yao saw with his own eyes that the dozens of jailors who were relatively close to him were swallowed by the flames of the explosion of the crystal warship.
The hundred jailors behind him were all struggling and cramping in the venomous fog. They barely had the time to run away before the venomous fog leaked into their armor and melted their flesh into pus and flowed out. They collapsed to the ground and died a miserable death.
The venomous fog was highly corrosive. Even the battle puppets would have their rune arrays, crystal chips, and crystal wires corroded instantly when they touched it. They would turn into cramping garbage after cracking noises. Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Very soon, a swarm of tiny metal insects flew out of the venomous fog and swept at the jailors like wild bees.
Those 'metal bees' were extremely fast and agile. It was barely possible for the jailors to hit them however they shot randomly. Instead, the 'metal bees' crawled into the gaps of the Crystal Suit and stuck to it with their super magnetic wings and tentacles.
Then, dull explosions took place. The 'metal bees' the size of a finger, on the other hand, were able to blow out transparent holes the size of bowls on the Crystal Suit and the fleshly body, taking away all the organs inside.
A low-altitude patrol warship, a cluster of weird venomous fog, and a swarm of crazy metal bees turned the spaceport to enter and exit the Godly Might Prison into a chaotic battlefield!
At this moment, the Godly Might Prison finally confirmed the identity of the intruder. Desperate roars echoed from the broadcast rune arrays again. "Holy League! A lot of people of the Holy League have snuck into the Godly Might Prison, trying to rescue the captives caged here! All the guards, stay at your post. Do not let go of a single person of the Holy League! "
"The Holy League has come to rescue the captives?"
Li Yao truly had the urge to roar at the sky. Why did the people of the Holy League come at such a moment?
During the ten years of the Imperium's counterattack, the expedition army of the Imperium had indeed captured a lot of captives of the Holy League.
The ordinary people under the governance of the Holy League were naturally not important, but the leadership of the Holy League and the mysterious' Temple Guardians' were all very valuable targets.
Although the Imperium had been at war with the Covenant Alliance for a thousand years, the weird country where the Pangu Clan was worshiped as a 'god' and everybody was a puppet of flesh and blood and zealots had always been shrouded in a mysterious mist. The Imperium was not clear about the specific ways of governance and the social structure of the Covenant Alliance.
By studying the captives of the leadership, it should be possible to unveil the veil of the mysterious country and reveal part of the truth.
However, the interrogation and studies on the captives of the Holy League did not go well.
The Holy League's expertise in brain studies, or rather, in brainwashing, memory stripping, and soul defense technology, was more or less higher than the Imperium's.
After failing to take down the enemy for a long time, the base of the expedition army could only send the most important captives of the Holy League to the rear and lock them in the Godly Might Prison, preparing to explore the secrets of the Holy League slowly.
The Godly Might Prison was chosen instead of a brand-new captive camp because the defense of the place was extremely heavy. Also, it was in the rear of the Imperium and had a high degree of safety.
But as it turned out, the Holy League was insane enough to assault the Godly Might Prison, trying to rescue all the captives!
"Wait. It's not so simple!"
The mental devil suddenly said, "The Imperium's counterattack has lasted more than ten years. It's not the first day that so many captives of the Holy League have been caged here. Like you said, why did they choose to break the prison at such a moment? Do you not feel that it is too much of a coincidence? "
Li Yao thought of something, and countless bubbles popped up in his eyes. "It is indeed too much of a coincidence. Also, the Godly Might Prison is so heavily guarded. How much effort will it take for the Holy League to infiltrate it? How much price will it pay to rescue the captives after the infiltration? How many of the captives can escape from the Godly Might Prison, the Mystic Ice Sector, and the heartland of the Imperium safely and return to the Holy League in the end?
"Even if only a few of the hundred captives can escape back, is it worth it to leave so many elites who can infiltrate the Godly Might Prison here?
"The Imperium's army has secured unstoppable victories in the frontline, but most of them were occupied by cities and few of the enemy's main forces were annihilated. Therefore, the captives of the Holy League that they captured were limited however high their level was. Today, the situation in the frontline has been settled. Is it necessary to launch a rescue operation for the captives whose level is not very high and whose success rate is very low and which will cost a great price whether it succeeds or fails? The commander of the Holy League would never do that even if there was something wrong with his head!
"Therefore —"
Alarmed, Li Yao and the mental devil shouted at the same time, "General Lei!"
Li Yao said, "The people of the Holy League are here for General Lei Chenghu."
The mental devil said, "On the surface, they are here to break into the prison and rescue the captives, but it is in fact a smokescreen. They are here to assassinate Lei Chenghu!"
Li Yao said, "Lei Chenghu has been active in the frontline of the resistance against the Holy League since a hundred years ago. He is one of the few tough generals of the Imperium who has maintained an undefeated record against the Holy League. He is also a thorn in the eyes of the Holy League. Any price is worth paying to get rid of him!"
The mental devil said, "What is even more amazing is that General Lei Chenghu is now under house arrest by the Council of Elders. If he is killed abruptly, the Council of Elders and the four Kurfürst families will not be able to explain themselves at all. The contradictions between the four Kurfürst families and the troops who are not their own in the frontline will be intensified immediately. It will not be strange at all if a large-scale battle breaks out between the two parties!"
"Exactly!"
