The battle in Amantir broke out deep underground, but the destruction it caused had spread to the surface, and almost half of the planet had become a natural disaster. Even in space, the horrifying changes on the surface of the planet could be seen clearly.
Salaman stood on the bridge of the Aiur, and together with his aide, he looked at the live feed from the external monitors. Amantir's image hovered in the center of the holographic projection, taking up almost three-quarters of the screen. Everyone could clearly see that near Amantir's equator, the land was collapsing and crumbling.
That was where Amantir's control center was located, and there was a huge temple that could be seen clearly from orbit. At that moment, the huge temple had cracked from the center, and the continuous explosions spread along the crack to the surrounding buildings. Temples and halls of all sizes were shaking, as the ground they stood on was rippling like melted butter, and was rapidly sinking towards the planet's core, as if a black hole had appeared deep underground and was devouring the entire planet.
Of course, there was no black hole there, and Salaman knew the real reason for the collapse. Like Agodal, a large part of Amantir's interior was hollow, and a large number of sturdy crystal pillars supported the planet's outer structure, at the same time acting as the energy network nodes of the planetary warship. For the crust to collapse, there was no doubt that something terrible had happened inside the crystal pillar layer.
Before this, Salaman had received a message from the encrypted channel, and after deciphering the ciphertext, he knew the general plan that Hao Ren and the sprites had come up with. So when he saw the changes on the surface of Amantir, the commander could only mumble to himself in shock, "They really blew up the crystal pillar layer …"
"Only a part of it was blown up," the young adjutant added.
"But this is still a crazy plan," Salaman shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I have to admit that the Observer is far more creative than us standard and rigid soldiers. I don't think any guardian giant could have done this if he were to carry out this infiltration mission, even if he could get to the core of Amantir."
"Based on the time that the crustal stabilization system can hold after the crystal pillar collapse, their battle in the Lair of Nightmares should be nearing its end," the young aide said. "But we still have not received any news of success. The control center is starting to collapse, and they do not have much time left."
"Amantir's crust is still collapsing, and that is the best news. This means that the freaks still do not have the energy to stabilize the starship, and the trouble in the Lair of Nightmares is not over." Salaman shook his head as he looked at another set of holographic projections. "The droids have yet to make their move …"
The holographic projection next to him showed the image of the droid legion. After the guardians and the droid legion retreated to this position and faced the festered from a distance, the movements of the droids became mysterious in the eyes of the guardians. A large number of droids had built layers of barriers around their moorings, and then more droids had warped into this area from the depths of the universe. The new droids did not seem to be combat models.
After that, there was a constant flow of droids in and out of the area, and occasionally, there were large components being transported in, but no one knew what they were for.
In the most recent movement, Salaman saw the droids dragging a few huge crystals into the mysterious "construction site". The crystals were the size of mountains, and their energy signature was shockingly high.
The drones did not communicate with anyone, and the guardians did not have permission to enter the base. Rashly using radar or any other observation device to scan the positions of friendly forces was obviously a very serious provocation. Salaman and his soldiers could only watch in bewilderment as the mechanical beings bustled around like worker bees every day. They had no idea what they were doing.
And this morning, the droids' movement suddenly ended, as if they had completed their master's mission and were in standby mode, waiting for new orders. This state lasted until now.
Just as Salaman was trying to figure out what the droids were planning, he saw the droids at the perimeter suddenly move again. They scattered in all directions as if to open up a path for something.
The aide-de-camp shouted from the side, "Received encrypted message. Content: Best Actor has won an Oscar!"
This was the same strange signal that the strange observer had given him. Salaman had no idea what the words meant, but he knew very well what it meant. The infiltration team led by the observer had succeeded!
They had destroyed the Lair of Nightmares and taken the Amantir crystal!
"Report, the droids have started moving. They are shutting down the barrier system around the base, and have detected a high energy signature in the center of the droids! The energy signature has exceeded the measurement limit! The energy signature has exceeded the measurement limit! "
"They are preparing to attack Amantir?" Salaman could not help but put his hand on the armrest. "The observer has not retreated …"
Before Hao Ren and his team departed, they had said that they had prepared a retreat plan, but Salaman did not know the details of the plan. Seeing the movement of the droids, he knew that the final attack was about to begin, and Amantir would become the target of the army. But until now, he had not seen Hao Ren and his elite team leaving the planet.
Just as he was feeling curious, a tiny blue light suddenly flashed across the holographic projection.
The sensitive external monitor immediately noticed the tiny blue light and zoomed it to the maximum. Salaman finally saw that it was a silver-white spacecraft — the cutting-edge technology starship that the observer was on.
The silver-white spaceship had obviously activated a series of rapid maneuvering equipment, and without the use of the hyperspace engine, it was flying at close to the speed of light. A layer of temporarily strengthened shield covered the entire spaceship like a heavy curtain, and on the deck of the spaceship floated a projection, and on it were two lines of text that Salaman did not recognize.
Top notch noise, fastest galaxy.
Like a bolt of lightning, Nolan flew from space straight to the base of the festered. As she crossed the cordon of the festered legion, she turned on the mirror-image decoy device. Dozens of ellipsoidal metal devices were thrown into space from the projector port and immediately turned into mirror projections almost identical to the Petrachelys. A large group of projections quickly changed positions in the universe and crossed the festered's defense platform from all directions. The latter had already reacted. A large number of interceptors and mutants quickly took off, and anti-aircraft artillery also opened fire. But Nolan was so fast that all the active tracking methods of the festered could not lock on to her. The barrage, which did not need to be aimed, only destroyed a few mirror decoys that the festered had thrown out.
In the collapsing Lair of Nightmares, the festered had already surrounded Hao Ren and the rest, and the out-of-control aberrations and nightmare spawns were frantically charging at the temporary defense line of autonomous robots and armed droids. Hao Ren and his friends had retreated to the center of the defense circle, and relied on various long-range attacks to take down the occasional monsters that slipped through.
Lily, in her big white dog form, was exhausted from the previous battle, and was now lying weakly at the back, while Y 'lisabet and Rollie were leaning on her furry tail, receiving battlefield treatment from Wuyue. In fact, almost everyone had received a round of treatment, and now they were taking turns.
After disintegrating a brain monster that was hiding in a corner and releasing a spiritual attack with a Venomous Arrow, Vivian looked back at Hao Ren. "Is the spatial signal still unstable?"
Hao Ren quickly glanced at the MDT that was floating not far away. "Those monsters must have guessed that we are going to retreat. The interference they are releasing is very strong, but I have already read the spatial signal."
The MDT also shouted, "Nolan is rushing over, and should reach the rendezvous point soon. The spatial signal is getting stronger! I need some time to recalculate the coordinates! Not much, just a few minutes! "
Y 'zaks casually tore a aberration in front of him in half, and as he threw the two halves away, he laughed. "Hah, that little bit of time is still manageable. After the brain monster died, the combat power of these bastards has dropped to the point of no return."
Nangong Sanba smiled bitterly. "But there are still a lot of them."
Hao Ren did not care. "Anyway, no matter how many there are, we can just kill them all in one shot."
At that moment, Nolan had finally broken through Amantir's planetary defense circle, and with an elegant and breathtaking parabola, she swept across the equatorial rift.
"Spatial coordinates have been recalculated! Begin teleportation! "
A white light enveloped everyone, and in the white light, Hao Ren slowly raised his middle finger at the incoming festered monsters.
"Bye-bye!"
The white light dissipated, and everyone just disappeared into thin air in front of the festered, leaving only a thick cylindrical metal device that was constantly flashing red.
A few seconds later, a powerful shock wave rushed out of the crust, and a mushroom cloud rose from the control center.
In just a few seconds, Nolan had rushed back into space. Everyone on the bridge looked at the mushroom cloud slowly rising. Finally, Nangong Sanba could not help but break the silence. "Say, the droid swarm is ready to fire, what's the point of you blowing it up?"
Hao Ren had an inscrutable look on his face. "What do you know? This is called a character's name card. Anyone with a high status will leave a mark after they cause trouble. Zorro even left a Z on his name card!"
The MDT slapped Hao Ren on the head. "I've heard of people leaving a note or a card after they cause trouble. You're the only one who left a bomb, and you still have the nerve to talk about it?"
Hao Ren did not care. He just laughed and looked up at the scene in space.
The disturbed festered army was chasing after Nolan like locusts, but they were all left behind by the female driver as she stepped on the accelerator. Farther away in space, the droid swarm had opened up, and after all the shields, barriers, and camouflage were removed, a huge space structure appeared in everyone's sight.
It was a temporarily assembled facility. Several light blue crystals the size of a hill were arranged in the shape of a spear, and a large number of silver-white metal beams and connecting beams connected these crystals into a whole. At the front of this spear-shaped facility, a powerful energy flow had gathered into a dazzling light.
For those familiar with it, they could tell at a glance that these crystals were actually part of the Crapple Research Station …
"The 'Annihilation Spear' is charged," Nolan's holographic image stood on the bridge, happy and high-spirited. "To hell with those noobs who can't even catch up with my exhaust!"
Nangong Wuyue poked her brother with the tip of her tail. "I always feel that Nolan is completely different after racing."
"Shh, lower your voice, don't let the female driver hear you," Nangong Sanba said.
