Chapter 176: Long Night and Long Song (6)
Chapter 176: Long Night and Long Song (6)
The vast tide of crystal particles slammed like a wild wave.
On the screen of the cockpit of the snow dove, the red aiming mark locked the path of the mech ahead all the way.
Jiang Jianming squinted his eyes and calculated the moment before he collided with the tide of alien creatures. At the same time as he dropped the baffle armor in front of him, he pressed the button to issue a shooting command.
On the inner walls of the fortresses in the north and east areas, the black muzzles gathered energy at the same time, and the beams fired salvos.
In an instant, the sky burst into flames. The sound of shelling was mixed with the roar of alien creatures!
"Hmm...!" Jiang Jianming's eardrums hurt so much, the cockpit he was in vibrated violently. The back of his neck was cold, and it was the brain of Seth Henry who automatically sedated him.
"Ginger!" Ryan called him, "You..."
Jiang Jianming interrupted calmly: "His Royal Highness just go forward at full speed, and leave the rest to me."
Ahead, darkness and white light flashed together, and blood rained, splashing up and down. Ryan's crystal bone covered more than 90 percent of the Gemini host's half-machine, and he plunged into it.
Xuejiu opened the defense cover to the maximum energy, and followed the trail where the twin stars slid.
The mecha in front blocked most of the artillery fire, while the mecha in the back accurately shot down the alien creatures that slipped through the net. They danced like they were wiping the scythe of death.
After only a few seconds, Jiang Jianming realized the thorny problem.
Not enough firepower. Most of the long-range guns were placed on the turrets on the outer wall of the fortress, with the barrel opening outward, and very few guns could hit the central area.
What's more, the speed of adjusting the coordinates of the turret can't keep up with the full-speed flight of the mecha. If it goes on like this, it will soon fall into the situation of being surrounded by alien creatures and slowing down the pace!
Jiang Jianming decisively opened the communication: "Major General Xie, help!"
East of the fortress.
Xie Yuduo stood in the broken wall on the third floor of the fortress, clutching his hair in a collapse.
It was crazy, he thought to himself, how could there be such a thing, how could even the army be unable to stand back and retreat, and as a result, the crown prince and crown princess of a country rushed into the enemy line! ?
But looking around, the officers and soldiers of every empire were stalking their necks, their eyes were bloodshot, and they stared at the whereabouts of the two mechas.
bang...
In the central area, the monster Margaret hit the blue defense net again with a crystal bone.
This blow gathered the strength of the monster's body, and the alloy steel plate under her feet collapsed in all directions, and even the ground under the steel plate cracked!
Suddenly, a soldier whimpered.
"our……"
He tore off his military uniform and cried in the sky, "Our fortress!"
For Yin Beidou, this is not only the military fortress they guard, but also the home they built with their own hands.
Who can bear to ruin their homes, and who can be willing to die in vain for their compatriots?
The soldier cried, "Major General! That's our fortress!"
Xie Yuduo's eyebrows twitched, he took a deep breath and picked up the headset for communication.
Looking at this posture, the two crazy people can't be called back. What else could it be? only...
The general sighed: "The stationed starship in Alpha Yuyu listened to the order, supported by full energy firepower, and opened the way for the two His Royal Highnesses!!"
In the universe, the starship of the Silver Big Dipper moved.
As soon as they moved, the crystal-teaching starship that was stalemate in the universe would naturally also move.
Thousands of starships started a melee, from the space battle to the planet's atmosphere. The Imperial Army could not get close to the ground in a short period of time, and the artillery fire could not be precisely aimed, so it could only sweep indiscriminately.
Therefore, to open the way is actually nothing more than a bombing together. It was all thanks to Ryan's crystal bones protecting the two mechas that they wouldn't crash.
... Everyone knows that if this intensity of artillery strikes, Ryan's crystal bone will inevitably be injured, and his body will inevitably suffer from backlash. But now there is no other way.
Whenever the damaged crystal bone turns into ashes and peels off, the new crystal bone will be covered in time and then damaged again.
"..."
Jiang Jianming clenched his teeth and could hardly bear to see the sight of the crystal bone shattering.
His Adam's apple moved and shouted into the communication: "Your Highness, are you still awake!?"
There was no response from the other side for about three or four seconds, and then there was a voice mixed with labored gasps: "...You follow closely!"
M-Xueguo is attached to the bottom of L-Gemini, and they seem to be an iron boat in the fire wave together.
At this moment, the white crystal monster had swelled to a height higher than the top of the fortress. Margaret's eyes were blank, and the crystal bones repeated the attack.
Boom... Boom! !
The blue light net flickered violently, but this time it failed to bounce the white crystal bone away.
The crystal bone pressed down inch by inch, the light net became bright and dark, and the defense system used the last energy to resist the monster's strength.
"Cough...cough!"
Inside Xuejiu, Jiang Jianming supported the console with one hand, his back soaked with cold sweat. The crystal particle environment here is too harsh, and every breath he takes is shivering in pain.
In the mecha, various data have already become popular. Seth barked wildly, but unfortunately his voice was turned off, and he could only swipe the screen pitifully in the corner of the screen.
The thick smoke and fire were finally left behind, and the two mechas rushed into the central area side by side!
Jiang Jianming looked up with difficulty, and there was... there was still a final distance...
But at this moment
With a "hum", the optical network completely dissipated in the void.
The defense system is shattered!
Margaret's crystal bones gathered in a bundle in the sky, and they were about to fall.
A little bit, but not in time.
In the distance, Xie Yuduo sighed.
Everything is over.
In the cockpit of the L-Gemini, Ryan raised his head fiercely, blood stained most of his face and scattered curls, and kept dripping on the console.
No, not yet...
He didn't allow it to end like this!
The next moment, the green pupils shrank, and a majestic spiritual shock centered on him, with the dense crystal particles in the space as the medium, slammed into all directions!
The scene of Lan Xishi's battle reappeared, and the alien creatures behind them all screamed, confused, and fell to the ground.
In front, Margaret's body is crooked!
The white crystal monster staggered two steps, and the crystal bone that was smashed heavily deviates from the original target-falling on the iron wall of the fortress next to the main gun.
Bang, rumbling... rubble fell.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Jianming's heart flashed.
With his left hand, he turned Xue Dou's defensive shield to maximum energy, and with his right hand, he pushed the joystick diagonally, and slammed into the nearby Gemini.
The impact of the collision was amplified by the rebound shield, and Ryan's mecha speeded up again in an almost impossible situation!
The mecha guns were all removed from the very beginning, and this thing has no combat power at all at the moment.
Lean simply went mad more thoroughly - the mecha charging at full speed directly hit the crystal bone of the white crystal monster in a self-destructing manner!
The explosion burst into the sky.
Margaret screamed and took a step back.
"Ah...aaaa!!!"
The girl wrapped in the white crystal looked like a madman, and she raised her head and uttered meaningless high-pitched syllables.
The next second, in the sky, more than a dozen huge red gold crystal bones rose from the fire, piercing into the white crystal with a crisp sound!
The two areas where the Imperial Army was stationed erupted in a huge wave of cries at the same time.
"Catch up!?" Tang Zhen flushed and said excitedly, "Great, too..."
But when he looked back, Xie Yuduo's face was still ashen.
"Not very good," the major general shook his head and said bitterly, "His Royal Highness has worn out too much, people have been injured like this, I am afraid..."
Sunlight is also obscured by shadows.
Ryan was lifted to a very high place by his own crystal bone, his long platinum hair danced wildly in the wind, he gritted his teeth, the blue veins on his forehead burst, and his breathing was heavy and hidden in pain.
The crystal bones of the two of them pierced countless sharp edges almost at the same time.
Collide, shatter, re-grow, collide again.
Tens of thousands of "dangdang" sounds were too dense and connected into a long, sharp and harsh sound, stretching over the entire fortress.
Drops of blood fell like rain.
It was Ryan's blood, and the backlash pushed by the crystal bone to the limit caused wounds all over his body.
After every impact, there will be red gold crystals splashing, and he is almost at a stalemate with the monster at the cost of self-mutilation, but he is still at a disadvantage.
Yes, although the Imperial Army has never had the concept of "their highness also loses"... but their highness is also a living person.
You'll get tired, you'll get hurt, you'll die...
How can you not lose?
A few drops of blood were blown away by the wind, and suddenly a white streak swept past, and the dark red fell onto Xue Jiu's wing.
Withstanding the recoil just now, Xue Jiu almost didn't crash directly, and when Jiang Jianming controlled the plane to fly again, his heart was already cold.
He immediately made a judgment. With Ryan's current state, this kind of wrestling could not last long.
At that time, let alone beheading the death bishop, even His Highness himself will be in danger!
The sound of the crystal bones still irritating the eardrums, like hitting the heart.
Jiang Jianming only felt the qi and blood in his chest surging, he stared at the front, the pitch-black cannon and the crystal bones fighting in front of the cannon were getting closer and closer.
Xue Jiu is not a strong attack mecha, even if he rushed over to support him immediately, how much could he help?
What... is he still able to do.
what he really should do.
There should be, Jiang Jianming's lips were pale, he took a quick breath, and closed his eyes that were beginning to darken.
He felt that he must know the way, the last, only, victorious way in this situation.
Yes, he knew very clearly.
Suddenly, the black-haired youth's face became calm, and he reached out and dialed the fixed communication channel: "Major General Xie, please give me the unlock password for the main gun."
"Varied……"
Xie Yuduo was stunned for a moment.
But he reacted instantly, what Jiang Jianming wanted to do.
Xie Yudiao showed a look of grief, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "No, no, little lord, you can't do this!!"
"...Xie Major General."
It was clearly at a critical moment, but the voice on the other side was calm to the point of being almost warm.
With a force that cannot be disobeyed: "Remember what you said to me at the Heroic Spirit Monument?"
"...!"
Xie Yuduo was shocked.
Once... in that underground palace with white steles. He half-kneeled in front of the young man who claimed to be just a commoner and made an oath.
If the young man can become the one who leads the Yin Beidou, the general is willing to devote his loyalty to it.
In mid-air, Xue Jiu blew the sound of wind, and it brushed past the figure of the crown prince, twisting and flying towards the main control room below.
"This is an order."
"Xie Yuduo, give me the unlock code for the main gun."
...
Xuejiu landed in the main control room, and the moment Jiang Jianming pushed open the cockpit door, he felt a chaotic stream of crystal particles hit him.
As if being hit by the force of ten thousand, he choked out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, and the next moment forced himself to get up and stumble forward.
But within a dozen steps, Jiang Jianming fell three times. When he finally managed to support himself on the console, he coughed up blood on his hands.
Above the head, the crashing sound of crystal bones is almost crazy.
Jiang Jianming quickly executed the unlock, leaving dark red traces everywhere his fingers touched.
This is……
The last, only, way of victory.
When Raymond and the others opened the main control room, they did not unlock the main gun. This is to worry that once unlocked and attacked by a powerful enemy of the Crystal Cult, the soldiers may be killed before they can block the main gun again, and the most powerful weapon in this first fortress will fall into the enemy's hands.
But now, here is an empty forbidden area for living people.
Even alien creatures were affected by Ryan's mental attack just now, and they couldn't return to normal for the time being.
So, you can shoot.
<10%...30%...>
crackling...!
Suddenly, there was a tragic cracking sound in the sky.
Countless red-gold crystals fell down and were deeply embedded in the floor of the main control room.
<...50%...70%...>
Jiang Jianming gasped intermittently, dragged his shaky body, and ran towards the place where the launch rod was.
Halfway through, he fell again, and this time he lost the strength to stand up, and in a hurry he could only crawl over with his knees on the ground.
He knew that the torture of crystal particles should not force him to such an embarrassing state.
Even if it really is, the coldness of his body at the moment, the sadness and pain that almost burst his heart, must also come from something else.
<…90%…100%…>
The moment your finger touches the launch rod.
He felt dark.
The main gun of the fortress was originally a powerful killing weapon against starships in the high sky and large alien creatures.
So if he wants to fire, he can only include Ryan, who is suppressing Margaret, into the attack range.
What happens after that is up to fate.
<...50%...>
The light converges in the depths of the deep main gun muzzle.
Perhaps it was unexpected that it would turn into such an ending. At this time, both the Imperial Army and the Crystal Sect could only stare at this scene from a distance, temporarily losing their ability to think.
Ryan also saw the light of the main battery charging.
There was a dazzling color in his expression, and the prince showed a sharp smile.
He praised Yu Jiang Jianming for being able to think of this solution in just a few seconds, and was also pleased that his loved one had the courage to make this choice.
Like countless times before, he was proud of Jiang Jianming and delighted that their souls were in harmony.
But that smile faded again.
Still reluctant.
<…70%…>
Jiang Jianming clenched the launch rod tightly, his dark pupils looked towards the sky, his pale and blood-stained hands trembled violently.
With this push, he didn't know if Margaret would really die, let alone if Ryan would survive.
With this push, it is possible that he killed his little highness with his own hands, but failed to get rid of the enemy.
<...90%...>
The universe is ruthless, and there is always such a possibility in the world, that even if you try your best to put your own life and will, and even others, you can only usher in the most desperate ending.
Some people know this, but they still move forward.
is it right? Still wrong?
Courage, or ignorance?
Jiang Jianming was strangely calm, even though Alpha's cold wind was surging, gouging through his bones like the tip of a knife.
He had an epiphany in the piercing pain.
There is no right or wrong under this starry sky, only choices.
So at the moment, Ryan will be there, and he will be here.
At the last second, the pale back of the hand stopped shaking.
Jiang Jianming pushed the launch rod to the end.
Victory, my lord.
my sweetheart.
