When the secret base was discovered by the Blade Edge Company, a certain 'ritual' of the Holy League was close to completion.
Countless electric arcs dashed to the sky like an upside-down waterfall, tearing apart the mist and the clouds, revealing a chaotic, super-enormous swirl that seemed to lead to another terrible world.
Something emitting immense spiritual waves was arriving on Black Nest through the gaps and the swirl!
Right now, even a 'Supersensitive Observer' such as Gao Huan could smell the teleportation arrays, space ripples, localization beacons, and even space gates in the air.
"Those sons of b * tches actually hid a super teleportation array or something else in the depths of the Black Nest Planet!"
The captain cursed again. "How is it possible? What kind of super teleportation array is it exactly? Or is it a new space gate? How can it send signals to space through the atmosphere without the idiots of the military discovering it? "
"What do we do, boss? Do we attack or not?"
Gao Huan was shivering when he heard Flea's voice. It was true that the warriors of the Blade Edge Company were all fearless bandits, but they were just a reconnaissance squad after all. The number of the Holy League that had just woken up from hibernation was ten times greater than theirs. Attacking recklessly would be suicide.
Getting to the bottom of it, their mission was just reconnaissance. Destroying the enemy's important facilities was not part of their mission!
"Of course!"
The captain glared at Flea. Pointing at the swirl of electric arcs that was getting larger and larger in the sky, he roared, "Can't you see the space cracks in the sky with your dog eyes? If we don't stop the enemy's summoning in time, god knows what behemoth will be teleported to Black Nest. By then, we will all be killed!
"Attack. Blow the damn thing into smithereens and drive the b * stards back to their hometown!"
The captain picked up two crystal cannons that were even thicker than his thighs and opened fire like an iron gorilla that had gone berserk. The other warriors of the Blade Edge Company roared like ferocious tigers, too, catching the enemy of the Holy League unprepared.
However, 'panic' was not a word in the dictionary of the Holy League. They immediately counterattacked with their advantage in numbers and the defense array. For a moment, the mist was torn apart by fire, and the entire Unchaotic Valley was consumed by the flames of war.
For the natural-born 'Supersensitive Observers' such as Gao Huan, the keen perception of spiritual energy was both a gift and a burden. Normally, such an ability could help them perceive spiritual waves dozens of kilometers away, but on a battlefield, it would make them suffer a shock and pain a hundred times more intense than that of normal people.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was like a glamorous oil painting in Gao Huan's eyes. Everybody was torches that was burning furiously. His surging spiritual energy raised surging tides in his brain, making him at a loss as if he were a lone boat that was about to sink.
At this moment, like a bolt of lightning in his mind, he suddenly saw her among the thousands of enemies.
His eyes eyes Company eyes eyes eyes and his eyes eyes eyes eyes and his vision vision vision vision vision and
His visual nerves and even his brain cells were in a mess because of the impact of the intense spiritual energy. He felt that the whole world was spinning, shattering, condensing, burning, and exploding.
But he wouldn't make a mistake. Even if he died, he wouldn't mistake that dark red. That was his wife, Xiao Xue!
"Xiaoxue!"
Gao Huan's head went blank, and he roared in ecstasy.
Cannons were roaring, and bullets were flying. An altar of the Holy League collapsed along with the components of the teleportation arrays. Even the ground was about to collapse. The situation could not have been more chaotic.
Gao Huan did not know how he had passed through the line of fire, nor did he know how many heavy blows he had taken, or whether he had suffered any fatal injuries. There was only a trace of red in his eyes. After stumbling and rolling a dozen times, he was finally alive and rushed to the front of the enemy.
It was a female warrior with a red mole between her eyebrows. Her muscles were stiff, her face cold, and her eyes were emitting mechanical brilliance, exactly the same as all the people of the Holy League around.
Gao Huan looked at her, but he could not help but cry. "Xiaoxue, I knew that you were not dead. I knew that I could find you. It's me. It's me!"
The female warrior with the red mole between her eyebrows was unmoved. She raised her sabers high and aimed at Gao Huan's neck.
However, Gao Huan's tears shone with a subtle light in the depths of her frozen eyes, causing her saber to hesitate for a moment.
It was the moment of hesitation that saved Gao Huan's life.
When the brilliance in the female warrior's eyes was gone, and she was about to chop off Gao Huan's head again, a cannonball exploded next to them brutally. The powerful blast blew them away in different directions at the same time.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Gao Huan heard someone's weird cry in his trance. "The enemy's super teleportation array has been completed. It's useless to destroy the facilities on the ground. Go back and report to the military headquarters. Now!"
Gao Huan thought that he had slept for a long time.
It was so long that he spent a new life with his wife in his sleep.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the light assault vehicle that looked like a can of bacon. Around him were the remnants of the defeated soldiers who were badly battered.
Through the 3D light beam, Gao Huan soon figured out their situation.
There were fifteen fully-armed assault vehicles when they set off, but only three of them managed to escape from the Lawless Valley.
Behind them, the sky had been riddled with holes. Countless starships of the Holy League slowly appeared in the orbit of Black Nest through wormholes. A lot of elite assault teams even reached the ground and spread to the entire planet like tides.
"Black Nest is doomed. Chances are that the entire Thick Soil Sector is doomed."
Flea's left eye had turned into a bloody hole, but he was still smiling. "The Holy League seems to have mastered a certain new space gate technology and summoned a large troop to this goddamn planet in a more inconspicuous way. Not just the Lawless Valley, there are many other places where the Holy League has landed. They outnumber the garrison of the Thick Soil Sector by ten times. It's impossible to fight this war."
"We —"
Holding back his disgust, Gao Huan asked, "What do we do? Go back to the brigade headquarters or the military headquarters?"
"The brigade headquarters and the military headquarters are the main targets of the enemy's orbit troops. They're both screwed!"
Flea said to Gao Huan, "Right now, the entire planet is full of people of the Holy League. Our reconnaissance mission is meaningless. We'd better find a way to save our lives! “
"But —"
Gao Huan meant to ask, if the entire planet was full of people of the Holy League, and even the military headquarters had been bombarded, where could they possibly run to?
"We'll go to the Long Wind Canyon. There's a spaceport that's been abandoned for decades. Brigade Commander Yun and the remnants of the four families who are planning to defect have hidden three shuttles that are surprisingly fast. They've prepared all the fuel and everything else as a backup plan."
The captain grinned. He looked more like a grimacing gorilla compared to the bloodstains on his face. He seemed rather satisfied. "Those sons of b * tches of the military headquarters didn't dig the information out of me after all!"
"Are we …"
Gao Huan thought for a moment and asked, "Running away?"
"Of course not!"
The captain laughed so shamelessly that his bad breath was even worse. "The garrison of the Thick Soil Sector is about to be annihilated because of the new teleportation array or space gate activation array of the Holy League, and we're the only people who have seen it in person. It's very important information. Do you understand? We're not running away, but we're delivering such precious information back to the capital for His Majesty, Marquis Liaohai, and the Black Wind King. So, we're all heroes. Let's just wait to be rewarded by the emperor and enjoy ourselves! "
Gao Huan was rendered speechless, his head in a mess.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds came from behind them. Seven to eight fireballs soared into the air, and the airwaves were like ferocious beasts opening their bloody mouths. The three assault vehicles danced on the rugged mountain road.
"Damn it! That low-altitude hunting ship is catching up again!"
The gunner roared, "The bumps are too strong for me to lock onto it. Also, our tank guns are too weak to shoot it down unless we stop and transmit all our spiritual energy to the turret! It's impossible for us to reach the Long Wind Canyon if it keeps following us! "
There was nothing but silence in the carriage, except for the soldiers who were gnashing their teeth.
"I'll stay."
Staring at the burning horizon behind him, Gao Huan suddenly said, "Leave this tank to me. You'll squeeze into the other two vehicles. I'll cover your retreat."
"You're crazy!"
Flea grew anxious. "We'll be killed if we stay. Let's go together!"
"No, I can't go."
Gao Huan smiled. "I saw Xiaoxue just now. It's really her. I didn't see it wrong, and I'm not crazy. I can't leave Xiaoxue here alone."
All the soldiers were dumbfounded by his words. They looked at each other in bewilderment, but none of them dared to question him after they saw the brilliance in Gao Huan's eyes.
"Wake up!"
His best friend, Flea, was still trying to persuade him. "Even if — even if you didn't see it wrong and it was really Xiaoxue, so what? The entire planet is full of people from the Holy League. How are you going to rescue your wife on your own? Besides, she has been brainwashed by the Holy League. All her feelings and even memories about you have been erased. How can she be willing to go with you?
"There are only two possibilities if you stay. You will either be killed, or even worse, you will be captured by the Holy League and brainwashed into a new member of the Holy League. Then, you and your wife will become members of the Holy League. Is it meaningful? Is it meaningful?"
"It is."
Crazy flames were flowing inside Gao Huan's eyes. "Even if I am brainwashed into a member of the Holy League, I will never forget who my wife is. Similarly, I believe that even if Xiaoxue is a member of the Holy League right now, she will never forget me.
"Did you know? She recognized me just now. It's true. I'm not drunk. It's not my imagination, either. I saw the brilliance in her eyes. She really recognized me. She was not completely brainwashed!
