    Chapter 276 Wake up in your arms (6)

    Moving on is easy to say, but it is by no means easy.

    Now they are trapped in the depths of the crystal nest, and they are surrounded by whiteness.

    The crystal particles will launch a violent attack at any time, and he is half-sick and half-injured. As long as it is not these two people in this situation, at this time only about the remaining fifteen minutes will be devoted to prayer.

    "You can go in the general direction first."

    Jiang Jianming dipped his fingertips with the blood of Ryan's injury when the crystal particles stabbed in, and sketched the orientation map succinctly on the crystal.

    "The equipment at the Black Shark base is equipped with a positioning system. I just asked for our current coordinates. I also remember the coordinates of the core of the crystal nest. Although there are inevitable deviations, the vague relative orientation can be calculated."

    "Soon the Pangu Axe will directly hit the crystal nest. If it can destroy the mother nucleus, of course everything will be fine; if not, the cannon light can also guide us. After the cannon is fired..."

    Having said this, Jiang Jianming was stunned for a moment.

    He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and looked into Ryan's eyes suddenly, his face that was bloodless was even paler.

    "What's wrong?"

    Ryan's eyes widened, and he looked down at his hands, "Is it so strange? Then you can... put it away."

    Saying that, His Majesty's hands slowly retreated, and soon merged with the red-gold crystalline substance, and now only one head is left.

    This scene is both terrifying and somewhat indescribably joyful. But Jiang Jianming's expression was still blank, he moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.

    After a long while, Jiang Jianming looked at the crystal with the human head embedded in it and shook his head: "...Nothing, I will continue."

    He quickly regained his composure and looked at the set of equipment at the Black Shark base, "If this set of equipment can be taken away, it will allow the base to perform real-time positioning. It's just..."

    Ryan: "Don't look at it, I can't hold it."

    If it is normal, his crystal bones can even carry heavy mechas, and this mechanical equipment is of course no problem.

    But now he is wounded, weak and mentally damaged, unable to do anything. The only physical strength left, but also to protect his disabled people.

    "Then stay here."

    Jiang Jianming bent down and picked up the military coat he had just taken off. Naturally, it was impossible to bring this dress.

    He fiddled with the clattering medals with his fingers, "It's rare that Your Majesty's intentions, I'll take one as a souvenir."

    With that said, Jiang Jianming took off one of them.

    But it is not a medal, but a delicate and small...diamond ring.

    It was hidden under the largest piece of the Imperial Medal of Glory, pinned to the military uniform, like some unspeakable affair.

    Ryan was slightly startled, and immediately pursed his lips in a guilty conscience. It was in his previous life that Jiang Jianming quietly pinned it to others after he was dormant. He believed that he hid it well, how did Jiang see it?

    "Cough... This, I don't know which gadget I hung up for you on a whim, I forgot."

    "yes?"

    Jiang Jianming smiled silently, lowered his eyes and put the ring on seriously, "That's it."

    Ring, ring finger, he put it on... Ryan's heart felt hot. In fact, he was so happy that he didn't know how good it was, but he deliberately put on airs on his face:

    "There are so many medals that symbolize the highest honor, and many of them have only been awarded to you alone. Why does the commander like this?"

    As he spoke, he slowly hugged Jiang Jianming with the red-gold crystal bone: "Change another one, do you hear me?"

    He turned into a crystalline state, took a disabled human being, and swam between the gaps in the earth like an arowana, but it was very similar to the scene after the crystal nest engulfed Gaius.

    Jiang Jianming: "..."

    Ryan is still plausible: "It's not easy to get a ring. When we go back, we will discuss choosing a better one..."

    Jiang Jianming reluctantly looked at the ground of the crystal nest that was swept back quickly outside, thinking: You are carrying me out a thousand kilometers away, and you are changing another one, what nonsense are you talking about.

    "Jiang." Ryan blinked his eyes and probed over to rub against him, "I didn't know what you liked before, so I had to make my own decisions. When we go back, let's go together..."

    But before this sweet talk could be finished, it was replaced by a suppressed groan.

    "Lian?" Jiang Jianming raised his eyes suddenly. Within sight, a piece of red gold crystal suddenly cracked and landed in the palm of his outstretched hand.

    The crystal particle attack from the outside suddenly became fierce. The earth trembled more and more violently.

    The faint sound of shooting seemed to come from the distant sky, it was the starship guns of the human army.

    "set fire!!"

    The brutal war continued. With the roar of the officers, thousands of starships fired in salvos, and the beams formed a burning upside-down waterfall in the universe.

    After the last wave of missiles was also smashed into the position of the crystal nest, the blood-soaked army pushed forward like an iron wall against the offensive of the crystal particles.

    Yes, they are advancing.

    At this moment, the space station of the Empire of Humanity is already in a mess. The shell was forced to disintegrate in many places, and thick smoke was emitted everywhere.

    As for the interior, it has long been filled with countless wounded soldiers and corpses, and the smell of blood lingers, and the scrapped starship mecha is even more difficult to count.

    But it is such a fortress that miraculously, it has not retreated but advanced.

    Just a few days ago, even holding on to its former position was considered nearly impossible. However, at this moment, the space station is actually moving in the direction of the crystal nest!

    In front of the mighty white waves of Crystal Particles, a pitch-black mountain appeared.

    That was the starship army of the New Human Empire.

    A humanoid mecha rushed forward like a god, and its speed surpassed that of the battleship.

    The body of silver and the wings of crimson armor are like a Valkyrie made of steel.

    In the cockpit, Lin Ge's eyes were red, like a ghost, as if hatred was about to bleed from those eyes.

    She lowered her head and roared: "Give... me... kill!!!"

    The next moment, L-Iron Rose, the only super S-class mecha in the empire, suddenly unfolded her slender mechanical arm, and the laser spear in her hand swept across—

    The female emperor's sensible voice resounded through the entire army: "The crystal nest is now, the enemy is now!! I see who dares to retreat, and those who are afraid of the battle will die!!"

    The eagle slanted past the Valkyrie, and it was also a large mecha.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!"

    Old Marshal Chen was exhausted, and shouted at the back, "Your Majesty, look carefully, is this the army retreating!? You rushed too hard and the big guys couldn't keep up!"

    After calling for two voices and unable to come back, Chen helplessly sighed.

    Okay, the last time His Majesty went mad was the last time, specifically, it was when the lava was collected...

    The old marshal had no choice but to dial the communication of the Black Shark Base: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is mentally disturbed, come to persuade him."

    At the same moment, Admiral Shilin raised his head from the command room of Jin Rilun's flagship and murmured, "Iron Rose... Hai Dongqing... His Majesty the Emperor and Commander Chen are here in person!?"

    "How is it possible that the empire has been affected by crystal particles for a long time at this moment, and it has spare power..."

    How did you do it? Where are the troops evenly distributed?

    Commander Aslan's words before parting came into his mind, Shilin took a deep breath and thought to himself: Could it be... those ordinary people who have never even experienced the battlefield?

    When the commander-in-chief said those words, she only thought it was to boost morale and exaggerate.

    But the status quo at this moment clearly shows that those citizens in the rear have indeed provided unimagined strength in this national defense battle!

    ...

    So Crystal Nest was terrified.

    The crystal particles released into the distance were stubbornly resisted. Outside, the human army rushed in desperately, the Pangu axe was about to fire, and Kaios was approaching the mother nucleus inside.

    Even with the fusion of Gaius's consciousness, the crystal nest core can't understand why he has failed; how can the livestock that have been implanted by them for hundreds of years turn defeat into victory.

    Humans, this species has always been so unpredictable. It was obviously just the words of one person, just a gunshot and a splatter of blood...

    Or, there are tens of thousands of people shouting, tens of thousands of gunshots, and millions of blood flow?

    But so what.

    Only the shadow of perdition looms, whether the vanquished accepts it or not. The mother nucleus shuddered and let out a dying scream, and the attack became disorderly and violent.

    "……yes."

    Inside the red gold crystal, Jiang Jianming raised his head and responded.

    "Wait back..."

    He picked up what Ryan didn't finish saying, "Let's pick a ring together, pick a dress, and then pick a good day to make it public."

    "As for the wedding, it's better to keep it simple, and you don't have to make it extravagant... The atmosphere likes a quieter one. I'd be afraid of too many people."

    "Don't be afraid." Ryan's face slowly turned into crystals. He lowered his head and kissed Jiang Jianming's forehead, then closed his eyes, "I'll be by your side no matter what."

    Finally, the master of this piece of red gold crystal completely lost the characteristics of human beings.

    "...Ryan."

    The turmoil is getting more and more intense, and it is approaching a major earthquake. Jiang Jianming reached out and touched the cracked crystal, feeling the crack expand under his hand, "...I'm very happy."

    In the distance, a beam of light fell.

    "No matter...after today, what will happen to you and me..."

    The light was too hot, too dazzling, and seemed to penetrate everything.

    Therefore, Jiang Jianming saw that ray of night-shattering light even though he was under the protection of Ryan's crystal. He knew that it was the artillery fire from the Pangu Axe, the largest crystal particle annihilation cannon in the empire.

    "I consider it complete."

    In an instant, the sky and the earth shine through.

    The ancient giant raised the divine axe, splitting the turbid Yin and Yang.

    ...

    As if everything was over.

    It seems to be something new to start.

    When Jiang Jianming woke up, he found himself curled up on the ground of the crystal nest.

    It was eerily quiet all around. Something faint floated past his scattered pupils and flew up.

    After the blow of the Pangu axe, the crystal nest has completely changed. The storm in mid-air dissipated, and when you looked up, you could see that the universe was clear and the galaxy bright.

    The original transparent and white earth is full of ravines and broken lines, and it is dilapidated. Crystal particles kept escaping and disappearing, just like foam running towards the sun, and like a falling snow rising from the ground to the sky.

    "...Ryan?"

    Jiang Jianming was breathing weakly, trying to hold up his trembling body. He looked around blankly, trying to find a place to land.

    Empty around.

    Only the scattered crystal particles rolled his shirt. Jiang Jianming stood up swaying, a lonely figure standing on the ground of the damaged crystal nest.

    "..."

    His eyes were dim, and he only felt the blood in his chest, and his throat was hot. He covered his lips subconsciously, his fingers red with warm blood.

    The Pangu Axe fires the crystal particle annihilation cannon.

    And Ryan Kaios himself is a half-human, half-crystal existence. Being affected at such a close distance...

    "Lean..."

    The blood tickled from between his fingers, Jiang Jianming took a step forward with scattered eyes, and panted, "Are you still by my side?"

    Fifteen minutes ago, he thought about it.

    And Ryan must have realized it before then.

    At that time, in that short silent time, Jiang Jianming thought about it a lot.

    He wanted to say, "Your Majesty stay here, I will find the mother nucleus myself." But without Ryan's protection, the disabled people would be unable to move an inch; without his own mental power to comfort him, Ryan would also be in danger of another collapse of consciousness at any time.

    So Jiang Jianming realized that maybe this time, it was fate for them to live and die together.

    "Lian, you are...cough..."

    The other side of the earth is collapsed. A descending, circular tunnel-like cavern was exposed, the depths glowing with dim white light.

    That's... where the parent nucleus is...

    Jiang Jianming walked there staggeringly, the blood on his right hand slipped a few drops and was left behind.

    The diamond ring he was wearing on his ring finger, at some point in time, condensed a red-golden crystal.
