How many people had Saber killed in the battle of Shandar?
No one had calculated the exact number, but the number of people who had retreated from Shandar had decreased by a quarter. This was the final accurate count obtained by the New Star Army. For the New Star Army, the fall of their capital, Shandar, was an unspeakable humiliation.
Any organization with a backbone would not be able to remain unresponsive to this slap in the face.
Even though Centurion Erani Ryle, who was at the rear and out of danger, had repeatedly emphasized that if possible, it was best not to confront Seiber head-on. However, to a frontline commander, there were some decisions that couldn't be avoided just because one knew that it was wrong.
The New Star Army was a very large organization, and its size meant that there were many internal factions. For the current New Star Queen Adora, her ruling position was considered stable due to the New Star Army's designation, but some of the internal factions were already dissatisfied with the New Star Army's rule.
As a powerful force that had fought to a draw with the Kerry Empire, they only ruled over the Andromeda Galaxy, while the Kerry Empire ruled over more than ten galaxies. Anyone who had the slightest idea would think, "What do you think?
We are as strong as them. Since they can rule such a vast area, does that mean … we can do it too?
You must know that politics is not as complicated as we think. Sometimes, some ideas are not scary. What is scary is that the people who have these ideas have enough ability to execute them.
This time, the war between the Cree and the New Star Army may have been initiated by Luo Nan in name, but the starting point of the war was the Scarred Galaxy, which was originally a land without a master. Therefore, from a certain perspective, the New Star Army was the one who started the war. This point was also established.
However, the Cree people's resolute counterattack caused the pro-war faction within the New Star Army to suffer a heavy blow from their first action. However, before they could completely calm down, the massacre of Shandar happened. This gave these bastards a new excuse. They used this matter to suppress the moderate faction and removed the important centurion Erani from his position.
This was a heavy blow to the faction of New Star Queen Adora.
And now, the culprit of the massacre of Shandar had appeared in New Star Fortress. The best thing was that he had helped them eliminate Luo Nan. After the battle, only he and his subordinate were left. Was there anything better than this?
They had an absolute advantage in numbers! More than a hundred battle-ready centurions were here. A planetary fortress, five main warships, and countless assault ships. How could they not be able to defeat two people?
Forgive them. These bureaucrats could not be at the frontline, so they did not see how Saber dealt with the Cree warship.
"Surrender without a fight! Saber Hawk! You will be judged by the new star army's military law department, and according to your crimes, you will be imprisoned for at least 1000 years! "
"Hu!"
Drax unsheathed his warhammer and was about to charge towards the New Star Warriors who were rushing out from the ruins, but Seiber stopped him. Seiber calmly watched as the soldiers of the fortress surrounded him and Drax. He lifted his head and looked at the five New Star Battleships in the sky. Then, he suddenly smiled.
"Tell me, what gave them the courage to point their weapons at me?"
Drax, who was not good with words, scratched his head and said honestly.
"Uh, probably … they don't know how strong you are. It's like … well, like a poisonous snake I met when I was young. It wanted to bite me, but I tore it into three pieces …"
"Well, there's a problem with your example."
Saber shrugged and opened his right hand. "But I understand what you mean. They are not afraid of me …"
"Buzz!"
The blue flames quickly condensed into a solid javelin in his hand, and the purple flames formed the top of the javelin. Unlike the previous Flame Dragon Spear, which was only in the shape of a spear, the reorganized energy weapon this time was very exquisite. Even the demon patterns wrapped around the top of the javelin became lifelike, like a real piece of art.
"Whoosh!"
The enhanced version of the Raging Flame Dragon Spear in his hand pierced through space. The next moment, it pierced through the core of the starship from the bottom. It pierced and melted until it hit the core engine of the starship. Under the scorching flames, the engine instantly groaned, unable to bear the burden, and then …
"Boom!"
The starship was engulfed by the blue and purple flames. At this moment, all the soldiers in New Star Fortress couldn't help but raise their heads and see the burning behemoth falling from the sky. The New Star soldiers who wanted to escape hopelessly jumped down from the deck, but before they could land on the ground, they were engulfed by the flames again.
"Clang!"
The several kilometers long, mountain-like main starship smashed into the surface of New Star Fortress like a meteorite landing. At this moment, the tremors were like the most terrible earthquake.
"What happened?"
"That barbarian shot down a starship with a javelin?"
"Oh my god! Oh my god! "
"Abandon the position!"
"Retreat! Quickly retreat! "
Chaotic shouts and screams sounded one after another in the New Star Corps' communication channel. The other starships did not need the command from the rear and began to slowly retreat, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield. Starships looked impressive, but when dealing with small targets, they were not as useful as assault ships. In the current situation, if they stayed here, they would only become targets for Saber.
Looking at the slowly retreating starships, Drax's bald face revealed a smile.
"Look! Overlord, they're retreating! They're afraid of you! "
"No! No … this isn't enough! "
Saber heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.
"When facing wild dogs, you have to completely subdue them with a stick. Otherwise, they will forget the pain after their wounds heal and continue to disturb your mood. So, since they're afraid … let them be afraid to the bone!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Four blazing dragon spears created another four massacres almost at the same time. Four burning starships drew different trajectories and smashed into the ground. When the ground soldiers saw this despairing scene, they had completely lost the courage to fight to the death. With such an opponent … numbers had long lost its meaning.
On the entire planet fortress, except for the burning starships and the sound of the ground shaking, there was almost no other disturbance. Saber stepped forward and looked at the sky.
"Cough cough"
He cleared his throat and asked, "What's the matter?
"Now, where's your advantage in numbers?"
The sky in front of him was silent.
Saber waited for a few seconds. No one answered, so he shrugged.
"Well, your advantage in numbers is gone … Then it's time for my army to appear!"
"Quill, open the portal. Let the army enter!"
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz"
The modified centurion battleship tore through space and appeared on top of Seiper's head. Light pillars of teleportation covered the entire area behind Seiper. Tens of thousands of demons appeared out of thin air, and the moment they appeared, the demon warlocks worked together to construct a space tunnel. On the barren planet outside the battlefield, the demon army that had been waiting impatiently for a long time rushed into the army's teleportation gate under the roar of the demon lords. Like a burning dark green tide, they poured onto the planet's surface.
Under the space frog jump tactic that the demons were best at, the ground encirclement was formed in an instant.
The small battleships of the Cree and the New Star Corps that were snatched by the demons also appeared in the sky one after another. The last complete battleship of the New Star Corps broke through the air and appeared. The Berserker Demon King Sim squatted on the deck of the huge battleship like a small mountain in its original form. The moment it broke through the space, it spread its wings and brought about an apocalyptic shadow floating on the planet fortress.
Following Ximu's fiery breath, the tens of thousands of New Star soldiers who were surrounded had no choice but to endure the fury of the sky. Behind Ximu, there were hundreds of Underworld Dragons that covered the sky and the sun. Behind them, there were also countless Demon Bat Knights that almost covered the entire sky.
Four robust Doomsday Lords carried a huge and ferocious throne made of white bones and walked out of the portal. Saber jumped up and landed on the throne steadily. He lit a cigar. On the battlefield, the ferocious demons looked at the isolated and helpless New Star soldiers as if they were looking at their prey. The latter could only hold their weapons in despair and wait for the arrival of the final judgment.
The dark green flames on the demons' bodies seemed to have ignited the world. Looking from the sky, this huge army was burning.
This was an army that belonged to Saber, a burning army that would never be extinguished.
"Buzz"
A huge projection appeared in the burning sky. A humanoid woman wearing a New Star Crown and holding a New Star Scepter appeared there. If there was no accident, this should be the New Star Queen Adora, the ruler appointed by the New Star Power.
"Overlord! Enough, stop this massacre, we admit defeat! "
Queen Adora didn't say too many meaningless words. She went straight to the point. "Because of the wrong judgment of some commanders, the situation has become bad, but we have no intention of fighting again at this time when both sides need to rest and recuperate … Open the encirclement and let our soldiers withdraw. As for the terms of compensation, I will entrust the centurions to negotiate with you later!"
"Admit defeat?"
Saber, who was sitting on the throne, shook his head. He stretched out the finger of his right hand. At this moment, all the demons in the sky and on the ground raised their weapons in unison. He bent down and stared at the Queen's projection:
"I don't see your sincerity. Where are the people who ordered the war? Hand them over! They have to pay the price for their wrong judgment! "
"This …"
This direct request made Queen Adora very hesitant. She couldn't wait to strangle those reckless commanders to death, but the problem was that these warmongers were also indispensable commanders of the New Star Corps. Once they were handed over so easily, the problem would arise from external conflicts and directly lead to internal divisions in the New Star Corps.
Saber made an impossible request.
"Heh, it seems that you are not ready to admit defeat!"
Saber chuckled. "It's okay, I'll help you make up your mind!"
His right hand suddenly swung down, and his order rang in the hearts of all the demons at this moment:
"Kill them all!"
"Ow ow ow!"
This bloody order made the demons so excited that they almost went crazy. These monsters who were addicted to destruction and killing faithfully carried out the Overlord's order in the next moment. The Nether Dragons spat out poisonous fog from the sky, the Demon Bat Knights threw out the magic javelins on their backs, and the demons on the ground, under the lead of the huge Abyssal Lords, rushed towards the New Star Corps that was crazily compressed.
It couldn't be stopped … The difference in numbers was too great, it couldn't be stopped …
This was a real massacre …
"Stop! Enough! "
Adora's voice rang again at this moment. "I will hand them over …"
"It's too late!"
Saber said softly, then closed his eyes:
"Prepare body bags for these brave warriors. No one will be able to leave this place alive …"
"You!!!"
Queen Adora was so angry at the crazy massacre below that she couldn't speak, and her voice became firm:
"Do you want to start a full-scale war with the New Star Corps? Overlord … You won't win! "
"I will bring my army and kill them one by one on the planets under your control …"
Saber opened his eyes, looked at the projection in the air, and said softly:
"Until I find those fanatics who planned the war … You don't have to think about how to incite the people, you don't have to think about how to vilify me … I will give you enough reasons to start a war. I can promise you, great queen, before you hand over all the war fanatics, my demons won't stop the massacre …"
"Let this weak and meaningless conversation end here … Queen Adora, since your arrogant will makes you unwilling to bow down, then go back and prepare for war, let us speak with our swords!"
"The war you want, I will give you!"
