    Chapter 174: Long Night and Long Song (4)

    "retreat."

    Above the sky, almost at the same time as Margaret stood up, Ryan said to Wilson in a deep voice: "According to the other party's pace, lead her out of the muzzle."

    What overlapped with Ryan's voice was Jiang Jianming's quick order in the command room:

    "Major General Xie, I'm Jiang Jianming. Please let the army stand by and stay away from the heavy artillery area. If possible, please try to prevent the crystal cultists from gathering in the center."

    "Lieutenant Raymond, take your men out of the main control room immediately, and don't approach the battery. Repeat, don't approach the battery."

    In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire fortress changed.

    In the main control room, Raymond's eyes were darkened, and he only felt that his heart was cut by a knife.

    They lost so many comrades-in-arms' lives, and finally arrived here, and at this time they were asked to watch the empty main control room evacuate. What kind of unwillingness and grief is this?

    But at this time, Yin Beidou's obedience was vividly reflected. Raymond gritted his teeth with red eyes, raised his hand and said, "All of them, retreat!"

    The cold wind whimpered in midair, and the mecha L-Gemini was slowly retreating.

    Margaret walked out of the huge cannon barrel step by step, her white skirt flying over.

    ——The main gun does come with a set of defense systems, but in order to save energy, it can only be triggered for phenomena that are truly lethal.

    Such as sufficient speed or force, high or low temperature, strong corrosiveness, etc.

    But if just a bird rests on the muzzle, it will not trigger the defense barrier, and the same is true for a lighter human.

    If the death bishop just used a mecha or a starship to gently sit in the barrel... this can indeed avoid the defense system!

    "Aren't you going to fire?" Margaret tilted her head and asked, "If you choose to fire, you may have a chance to kill me."

    Ryan was still sitting in the cockpit, his posture was loose and proud, and he did not show his crystal bones, nor did he make a gesture of fighting.

    "There's no need for that," he said slowly.

    "What a pity," said Margaret.

    Her smooth and compact feet stepped on the rough black wall of the cannon, and she moved forward step by step, the muzzle connecting to the sky was already close at hand.

    "If you unlock the main cannon, kill you and keep the main cannon."

    The white-haired girl murmured to herself, "If you don't unlock it, I will kill you and destroy the main gun... Destruction told me."

    The soles of her feet finally stepped on the edge of the muzzle, and there was not even a hundred meters between her and the mecha that Ryan was riding.

    Alan Wilson's forehead was full of sweat. The middle-aged mecha soldier didn't even dare to roll his eyes. He thought frantically: What the hell is this girl trying to do?

    She came alone, without a partner? Faced with a mecha that can travel at high altitudes, how can she fight alone! ?

    "I have a question," Ryan said suddenly.

    The prince's emerald green eyes are very solemn, and the upper body leans forward, in a posture of listening carefully.

    Margaret tilted her head, and she also waited very seriously for the question.

    However, the next moment, the girl's pupils shrank, and the body of the large mecha enlarged in her eyes——

    Everything happened too fast, and Ryan suddenly accelerated the mecha to the maximum and charged forward in a diagonally upward arc. The distance of tens of meters is but an instant!

    Margaret screamed in agony, and was knocked out by the waist in an instant, and the whole person bounced into the sky.

    "His Royal Highness!?" Even Wilson did not expect that the Crown Prince would actually engage in such a sinister trick.

    Suddenly, the side is empty. The moment Ryan completed the maneuver, he jumped out of the cockpit.

    "Don't be stunned!!"

    Jiang Jianming's stern shout came from the communication channel, "Go and follow His Highness's rhythm!"

    Wilson reacted, his face sank, and he manipulated the mecha to keep up with it at full speed.

    In mid-air, Margaret's body was still spinning rapidly, but the snow-white crystal bone had already sent out a roar of tearing wind and slapped the mecha.

    Another smear of red gold was faster, and the crystal bones of the crown prince and the death bishop collided in mid-air!

    The sky of Alpha Alien seemed to explode with a spring thunder. The two figures bounced off in opposite directions again under the impact!

    Ryan fell quickly, and there was no fear in his eyes, but looked at Margaret who flew uncontrollably towards the main battery.

    Enough...speed and power.

    The next moment, a network of blue light rose from the ground.

    Illuminated the unmelted snow on the heavy artillery.

    boom! !

    Margaret slammed into the dense blue net, as if a thousand thunder had crushed every inch of bone, the girl screamed shrill, and her limbs twitched violently!

    In an instant, the instinct of the high-level crystal bones was awakened, and most of the death bishop's body was covered by white crystal clusters that emerged, and together with her limbs twitching due to pain, it took on a strange shape.

    The afterimage flashed, and the mecha L-Gemini that caught Ryan had already taken off before the fort.

    Hearing only two beeps, Wilson manipulated the mechanical claws on both sides to pop out to the limit, and slammed Margaret onto the awakened defensive barrier!

    "Ahhh...!!"

    Margaret screamed in pain again. The white real crystal pierced out of thin air, and after a harsh metallic sound, the two mechanical claws cracked and fell from the sky.

    But her body only slid down a dozen meters, and was smashed into the abdomen by Ryan's red gold crystal bone and crashed back into the blue net.

    "cough……"

    The white-haired girl's eyes bulged slightly, and she stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

    The red gold flashed again, and something flew high, shining a dazzling light in the sunlight.

    The crystal cultists pinned on their chests, and the real crystal ore used to cause crystal chaos was picked up and flew away.

    At this moment, countless pairs of eyes stared blankly.

    Mecha soldiers fighting in midair, Raymond's team who had just withdrawn from the main control room, and a large group of Xie Yuduo in the distance...

    Until half a minute ago, there were countless people anxiously speculating on the development of the battle in front of the main gun. Who would have thought that in just a few tens of seconds, the advantages were already evident.

    "pretty."

    In the command room, Jiang Jianming stood up.

    He stared at the scene on the screen.

    Perhaps because Ryan's natural strength is too unconventional, people's perception of him seems to be more inclined to the impression of violent monsters.

    But Jiang Jianming knew that this person had a terrifying fighting consciousness. In fact, the bishop of death just missed an opportunity, and he was beaten to the ground in a blink of an eye.

    And the death bishop was obviously a little stunned. At this time, he was bitten by the flaw, and his crystal bone was no stronger than Ryan...

    If there is no external force to break the game, she is likely to be pressed and beaten until she is out of breath!

    L-Gemini fires. The mecha cannon poured out energy frantically, hitting Margaret's body continuously on the defense cover of the turret.

    The clear red gold crystal bones rose suddenly, reflecting a stern sky light, and Ryan's beautiful and cold face was illuminated, both gods and demons.

    He disregarded the unhealed injury from yesterday's backlash, and just released the crystal bone to its ultimate strength, with a sharp cone at the tip.

    Then, it hit Margaret in the face!

    boom! !

    boom! !

    The loud noise shook the clouds.

    Margaret's face was completely covered with crystal bones, her eyes and mouth were wide open, and she became a spar man.

    Ryan's eyes were full of madness, and the high-strength crystal bone consumption made the red gold crystals climb up his face, spreading all the way from the neck to the corner of his eyes.

    He didn't yet know the purpose of Margaret's presence here.

    But it doesn't matter. By force, if the bishop of death can be removed here, any conspiracy and tricks will be vanished!

    boom! ! !

    The crystal bone fell again.

    click...

    A crack appeared between Margaret's eyebrows.

    A few cracked white crystals fell from her face, blown away by the cold wind, and soon disappeared.

    ...

    High in the southern area of ​​the fortress, the Bishop of Destruction stood there, hunting in black robes.

    He looked at the main battery with a complicated look, at the death bishop who was struggling in pain.

    Su sighed silently.

    He understood that it might be time to say goodbye to this girl.

    Margaret is a war machine bred by the Archbishop since childhood. In fact, she does not understand death or war. She only knows to listen to the Archbishop.

    Therefore, the next will also be her inevitable ending.

    Su's lips twitched, what order was given.

    In the distance, near, on the high-altitude mecha, in the aisle inside the fortress.

    The crystal cultivators were eerily still, and expressions of relief appeared on the faces of these cultists, and they took off the small spar from their chests.

    "The brilliance of crystal particles illuminates all living beings"

    They chant.

    Like a tornado rising out of nowhere.

    Suddenly, a turbulent flow of dense and disordered crystal particles erupted in the air, spreading in all directions!

    The imperial mecha rushing at the forefront suddenly slanted.

    In the cockpit, the soldiers of Yin Beidou let out a piercing scream, and the seven orifices were bleeding. He was pierced through his internal organs and flesh by crystal particles in his body.

    The same tragedy happened in countless mechas, and even in starships.

    A sergeant turned back in despair, the crystal block had eroded half of his face, and he used his twisted throat to make a final cry:

    "They want... they want to commit suicide collectively!!"

    "Major General, let's go—"

    Even Xie Yuduo was crushed by this wave of turbulence, and he would have fallen from the command seat of the flagship long ago if it wasn't for his perseverance!

    Beside her, Rita wanted to rush up to give the officer a sedative, but she fell to the ground first, bleeding from her nose and mouth.

    "Uh... ah!"

    The major general supported the podium with his arms, the blood vessels in his temples throbbed, and he managed to lift his twitching face.

    In the field of vision, the mechas of the Imperial Army began to lose control.

    Crash, explode, crash with smoke in flames.

    Tens of thousands of crystal believers caused an acute crystal disorder at the same time, and the consequences were devastating.

    The concentration of crystal particles in the air in this area is rising steadily, and if this continues, it will turn into a purgatory on earth in less than a few minutes!

    Xie Yu was dazzling.

    Yes, as the little lord said, the nature of this war is too unfair...

    Even if they can gain an absolute advantage, once the Crystal Cultists start to use the last resort of "self-destruction crystal chaos", tragedy will happen.

    How to do?

    There is no way but to retreat temporarily.

    "The whole army," Xie Yuduo opened his mouth to endure the bloody smell that rushed to his throat, and the order to retreat had already reached the tip of his tongue, "immediately..."

    But the next moment, he saw in disbelief that the crystal mechs in mid-air suddenly accelerated and rushed over.

    The crystal sects in the mecha have died violently in the crystal chaos, but the final procedure they set up before their death caused these mechas and starships to rush to the central area of ​​the fortress!

    Xie Yuduo was like falling into an ice cave.

    If you don't leave, it will be too late, and the soldiers will all die here.

    But they can't leave, if they leave... What will happen to His Royal Highness Le'an! ?

    His Highness was still in a stalemate with the death bishop at the main gun, and this group of crystal cultists who were madly looking for death would smash directly into them with a violent stream of crystal particles.

    At that time, no matter how powerful the Super S Grade Crystal Bone is, it will inevitably end in a violent death!

    Thousands of thoughts and thousands of possibilities whizzed through the Major General's mind.

    At the moment of the decision of life and death, Xie Yuduo didn't know what he thought in his subconscious mind. He only heard his own voice.

    The voice shouted not to retreat, but to meet the enemy.

    ...

    "Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

    At this moment, the riotous crystal particle wave also spread to the position of the central main gun.

    Three generations of tranquilizers pierced the back of Wilson's neck, and the middle-aged man was still in pain until his eyes turned black, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

    "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"

    Outside the mecha, Lean's back has oozing blood, which spreads shockingly and rapidly.

    The prince was breathing messily, his pupils were golden-red, and the crystal bone fell to the top of Margaret's head again.

    "We must retreat, you are about to be in chaos!!"

    Crackle... A larger white crystal cracked, and the girl bishop, who was crystallized all over his body, hung his head and remained motionless.

    L-Gemini's artillery bombardment has stopped, but Margaret is still stubbornly pressed against the shield by Ryan's crystal bone, and now she doesn't even know whether she is dead or alive.

    "Your Highness, you can't fight anymore!!"

    The communication channel in the mecha was frighteningly quiet, and Major General Xie had no instructions.

    And His Royal Highness Jiang only said in a very cold voice, "I will go there immediately, before that, please obey His Highness's will" at the beginning of the crystal chaos, and then disconnected.

    Wilson's eyes were bloodshot, and he almost begged and roared, "Your Highness, look back, if we don't withdraw, everyone will die here!!"

    The violent killing intent in Ryan's eyes gathered and dispersed like a cirrus cloud. At this time, his movements stagnated slightly, and he gasped and looked back.

    In the air, the Imperial Army led by Xie Yuduo was struggling to retreat and defend, covering the mid-air with full firepower, trying to shoot down the flying crystal mechs.

    However, among the mechas that actually fell, it was impossible to tell whether there were more Crystal Cults or more of the Imperial Army.

    On the snow-white ground, the wreckage was silent. Life, blood, flow silently in this icy alien star.

    Underground, Raymond's team was dying. Most of them were originally injured, and they encountered crystal particle turbulence halfway through the evacuation, and some people started crystal chaos.

    The new alien creatures were densely surrounded.

    Raymond and the others no longer had the strength to fight, and were desperately preparing to fight to the death, when suddenly a large piece of red gold crystal was stabbed in front of them.

    L-Gemini whizzed past, and Ryan shouted sharply on the mecha's communication channel: "All troops - retreat!!"

    "Xie Yuduo, what are you doing, let your people retreat immediately!!"

    "Jiang, go to the back and don't move, wait until I go to find you—Jiang!?"

    In the communication, only the anxious voice of the crown prince echoed.

    In the command room in the Eastern District, the seats were empty.
