"retreat."

High above the sky, almost at the same time as Margaret stood up, Lai An said to Wilson in a deep voice: "Cooperate with the opponent's pace, and lead her out of the muzzle."

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

"Major General Xie, I'm Jiang Jianming. Please put the troops on standby, and don't get close to the heavy artillery area. If possible, please try to prevent the crystal cult members from gathering in the center."

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

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

In the main control room, Raymond's eyes went dark, and he felt his heart was pierced.

They lost the lives of so many comrades-in-arms and arrived here with great difficulty. At this moment, they were asked to watch the evacuation of the empty main control room. What kind of unwillingness and grief is this?

But at this time Yin Beidou's obedience was vividly displayed, Lei Meng gritted his teeth with red eyes, raised his hand and said: "Everyone has it, retreat!"

The cold wind whimpered in the air, and the Mecha L-Gemini was slowly retreating.

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

——The main gun does have a defense system, but in order to save energy, it can only be triggered by phenomena that are truly lethal.

Such as sufficient speed or strength, high or low temperature, strong corrosiveness and so on.

But if it's just a bird that lands on the muzzle, it won't trigger the defensive barrier, and the same goes for a lighter human.

If the Bishop of Death just gently sat inside the gun barrel with the help of a mech or a starship... This can indeed avoid the defense system!

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

Lai An was still sitting in the cockpit, his posture was loose and his expression was proud, he didn't show his crystal bones, and he didn't show his fighting posture.

"That's not necessary." He said slowly.

"What a pity," said Margaret.

She stepped on the rough black cannon wall with her smooth and small feet, and stepped forward step by step, the cannon muzzle connecting to the sky was close at hand.

"If you unlock the main gun, kill you and leave the main gun."

The white-haired girl murmured as if talking 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 gun muzzle, and there was not even a hundred meters of distance between her and the mecha that Lai An was riding on.

Alan Wilson's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. This middle-aged mech soldier didn't even dare to roll his eyes. He thought wildly: What exactly does this girl want to do?

Did she come alone, without a partner?Facing a mecha that can fly high in the sky, how can she fight alone!?

"I have a question." Lai An said suddenly.

The prince's emerald green eyes are serious, and his upper body is leaning forward, in a posture of listening carefully.

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

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

Everything happened too fast, Lai An suddenly accelerated the mech to the maximum, and rushed forward in a diagonal upward arc.The distance of tens of meters is only an instant!

With a scream, Margaret was knocked out of the waist in an instant, and her whole body bounced into the sky.

"Your Highness!?" Even Wilson didn't expect the Crown Prince to make such a shady move.

Suddenly, the side was empty.The moment Lai An completed that maneuver, he jumped out of the cockpit.

"Don't be dazed!!"

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

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 let out a howling sound of tearing the wind, and slapped down on the mech.

Another touch of red gold was faster, and the crown prince collided with the death bishop's crystal bone in mid-air!

The sky of Alien Alpha seems to have exploded like a spring thunder.Under the impact, the two figures bounced in opposite directions again!

Lai An fell rapidly, without the slightest fear in his eyes, but looking at Margaret who flew uncontrollably towards the main gun turret.

Enough... speed and power.

The next moment, a web 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 thunderbolts crushed every inch of her bones, the girl screamed terribly, her limbs twitched violently!

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

The afterimage flashed, and the Mecha L-Gemini that caught Lai An had already taken off to the front of the fort.

After hearing two "squeaky" sounds, Wilson manipulated the mechanical claws on both sides to pop out to the limit distance, and slammed Margaret on the awakened defensive barrier!

"Ahhh...!!"

Margaret screamed again in pain.The white true crystal pierced out of thin air, and after a piercing metallic sound, the two mechanical claws broke apart and fell from the sky.

But her body only fell more than ten meters down, and was smashed into the abdomen by Lai An's red gold crystal bone, and crashed back into the blue net.

"cough……"

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

The red gold flashed again, and something flew high, shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The true crystal mine that the crystal cultists pinned on their chests to cause crystal chaos was picked up.

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes stared blankly.

Mecha soldiers fighting in mid-air, Raymond's team who had just withdrawn from the main control room, and Xie Yuduo's large army in the distance...

Until half a minute ago, countless people were anxiously speculating about the development of the battle in front of the main gun.Unexpectedly, in just a few tens of seconds, the advantages have been fully revealed.

"Pretty."

In the command room, Jiang Jianming stood up.

He stared at the scene on the screen.

Perhaps because Lai An's natural power is too unconventional, people's perception of him seems to be more inclined to the impression of a violent monster.

But Jiang Jianming knew that this person had a terrifying sense of fighting.In fact, the Bishop of Death just missed an early opportunity, and was beaten without any power to fight back in a blink of an eye.

And the death bishop was obviously a bit dazed, and at this time he was bitten by a flaw, and his own crystal bone was no stronger than Lai An...

If there is no external force to break the situation, she is likely to be pressed and beaten until she dies!

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

The translucent red gold crystal bone suddenly rose up, reflecting the majestic sky light, and Lai An's beautiful and icy face was illuminated, both god and demon.

Regardless of the unhealed injury from yesterday's backlash on his back, he insisted on releasing the crystal bone to the limit 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 by crystal bones, her eyes and mouth were wide open, turning into a crystal person.

Lai An's eyes were full of madness, and the high-intensity crystal bone consumption made the red gold shards climb up his face, spreading from the neck all the way to the corners of the eyes.

He still doesn't know the purpose of Margaret's presence here.

But it doesn't matter.Using force to break the coincidence, if the Bishop of Death can be removed here, any conspiracy will come to naught!

boom!!!

The crystal bone fell again.

Click...

A crack appeared between Margaret's eyebrows.

A few pieces of cracked white crystals fell from her face, and were blown into the distance by the cold wind, and soon disappeared.

...

On the heights of the southern part of the fortress, the Bishop of Destruction stood there, wearing a black robe.

He looked at the main turret with complicated eyes, at the death bishop who was struggling in pain.

Su sighed silently.

He understood that perhaps it was time to say goodbye to this girl.

Margaret is a war machine raised by His Excellency the Archbishop since she was a child. In fact, she doesn't understand death, nor does she understand war. She only knows how to listen to the Archbishop.

Therefore, what follows will also be her inevitable ending.

Su flapped his lips, giving some order.

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

The Crystal Cultists were strangely still, and relief appeared on the faces of these congregants, and they took off the small crystals from their chests.

"The brilliance of crystal particles shines on all beings——"

They read like a chant.

Like a tornado rising out of nowhere.

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

The imperial mech rushing to the forefront suddenly tilted.

In the cockpit, Yin Beidou's soldiers let out heart-piercing screams, bleeding from their orifices.He was pierced through the viscera and flesh by the crystal particles in his body.

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

A sergeant turned his head back in despair, half of his face had been eroded by the crystal block, and he let out a final cry with his distorted throat:

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

"Major General, let's go—"

Even Xie Yuduo was in severe pain from this wave of fluctuations. If it wasn't for his perseverance, he would have fallen down from the commanding seat of the flagship a long time ago!

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

"Uh... ah!"

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

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

Collided, exploded, and crashed in the flames with smoke.

Tens of thousands of crystal believers triggered acute crystal chaos 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 Yuduo's eyes were about to burst.

Yes, just like your Excellency said, the essence of this war is too unfair...

Even if they can win an absolute advantage, once the Crystal Cult starts to use the "self-explosive crystal chaos" as the last resort, tragedy will happen.

what to do?

There is no way but to retreat temporarily.

"The whole army," Xie Yuduo endured the bloody smell rushing into his throat and opened his mouth, the order to retreat has already come to the tip of his tongue, "Immediately..."

But the next moment, he saw in disbelief that the mechas of Crystal Cult in mid-air suddenly accelerated towards them.

The crystal cultists in the mechas had died suddenly under the crystal chaos, but the final program they set up before their death made these mechas and starships rush to the central area of the fortress!

Xie Yuduo felt as if he had fallen 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 His Highness Lai An do!?

His Highness is still in a stalemate with the Bishop of Death at the main gun, and this group of Crystal Cults who are mad and looking for death will directly crash into it with a riot of crystal particles.

At that time, no matter how powerful the super S-rank crystal bone is, it will inevitably end up in chaos and sudden death!

Thousands of thoughts and possibilities raced through the major general's mind.

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

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

...

"Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

At this moment, the violent crystal particle wave also reached the position of the central main gun.

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

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Outside the mecha, Lai An's back was already oozing blood, spreading shockingly fast.

The prince was breathing chaotically, 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 panic!!"

Crackling...a larger piece of white crystal cracked, and the girl bishop whose whole body was crystallized hung her head, motionless.

The shelling of L-Gemini has stopped, but Margaret is still pressed against the defensive cover with crystal bones by Lai An, and it is not even known whether she is dead or alive.

"Your Highness, I can't fight any more!!"

The communication channel in the mecha was eerily quiet, and Major General Xie never sent any instructions.

His Highness Jiang only said in an extremely cold voice, "I'll be there right away, before that, please obey His Highness's will" at the very beginning of the crystal chaos, and then disconnected.

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

The violent murderous intent in Lai An's eyes gathers and disperses like cirrus clouds. At this moment, his movements froze slightly, and he panted and looked back.

In the air, the imperial army led by Xie Yuduo was struggling to retreat and guard, covering the mid-air with full firepower, trying to knock down the flying Crystal Cult mecha.

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

On the snow-white ground, a frame of wreckage remained silent.Life, blood, passed silently in this icy alien star.

Underground, Raymond's team was almost exhausted.Most of them were injured, and they encountered crystal particle turbulence in the middle of the evacuation, and some people had already started to turbulence.

New alien creatures surrounded them densely.

Raymond and the others had no power to fight anymore, and were desperately preparing for a life-and-death struggle, when suddenly a large piece of red gold true crystal stabbed in front of them.

L-Gemini roared past, and Lai An yelled through the mech's communication channel: "All the army - retreat!!"

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

"Jiang, go to the back and stay still, 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 east area, the seats were empty.
