Inside the dilapidated fortress, distorted alien creatures crowded the narrow passages.There are still a few lights on the floor that are not broken, flickering on and off at the end.

Why?Cold sweat slid down Jiang Jianming's neck into his collar, and the group of alien creatures stood motionless in front of him, as if they were waiting for a rabbit.

It's almost... as if they could collectively predict that they would come here!

But whatever the leaked whereabouts, the reality is already evident:

Alien creatures are encircling them in a targeted manner, and the enemies will only gather more and more, and it will be difficult to move forward.

There are only one-tenth of Lai An's crystal particles in the crystal bone ring.It is enough to deal with one or two enemies, five or six depends on his state, a dozen is already very difficult...

But what if dozens or hundreds of alien creatures came to surround it?

It's ridiculous to say that Jiang Jianming's mind is extremely clear at the moment, and in this extremely rational state, the first thought that clearly emerged in his mind was:

Basically, there is no chance of getting out alive. If I accompany Lai An to commit suicide now, it is still too late, and I will suffer a lot less pain.

If you want to leave some last words, you can use the crystal bone ring to carve the words on the floor.

Thinking about the ill-fated twenty years, I am worthy of myself for being able to make it all the way here.The ending of being dismembered by alien creatures is too tragic, and you can consider dying decently.

But when he finished thinking about this series in his mind, his body also finished his movements:

The crystal bone extended from the ring, covering the entire right arm. Jiang Jianming turned around and swept away, breaking the twisted door panel of the automatic door.

The already narrow path was blocked, so at least the alien creatures behind him couldn't get in for the time being.

In the next second, there were at least a dozen alien creatures screaming and rushing forward.

Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth, pushed Lai An back, and met the tide of monsters.

fighting.

The golden blade slid in through the bone seam of the alien creature, and directly knocked off half of its head.

Thick viscous blood poured down, and the rich crystal particles contained in it made him so painful that his knees almost went limp.

fighting.

Stepping on the bloody water under his feet, he interrupted the crystal bone claw stabbing from the oblique right, and flew out with a "clang", piercing the other one above his head to the ceiling.

fighting.

He knew that he couldn't make a mistake even for a second. Unlike new humans, disabled humans had armor-like crystal bones for defense, and injuries were a precursor to death.

But you can't dodge it, if you send alien creatures to run behind... Lai An is still behind.

The battle was long and hard.

Jiang Jianming gasped for breath, his pale face was almost splattered with the blood of alien creatures.

In fact, he basically has no experience in close combat with cold weapons. No one has ever... thought that disabled humans need to learn this.

Perhaps the revolving door started, but he vaguely remembered the nights of studying hard many years ago, in order to pass the minor examination and drive himself to faint.Tang Zhen rushed over in a hurry, scolded him as an idiot and was kicked out of the infirmary.

He remembered that night when the long rain had just rested and the moon was as bright as a jade.

There was also the afternoon of sparring with Audrey at the Lance family's fencing field. When the two of them came out sweating profusely, Diana was smiling at them with the black tea she brewed herself.

He remembered that the setting sun sprinkled the afterglow from the edge of the burning cloud, shining on the girl's cheek and skirt.

And his little Highness.

"...!"

The side abdomen suddenly felt hot, and then became cold.

Jiang Jianming lost his strength and staggered two steps forward. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blood-stained pointed armor of the alien creature, which was his own blood.

His little Highness...

A clean library, accompanied by a long street.Sometimes he reached out and rubbed the other person's head, and the young Chujun narrowed his eyes, and the emerald eyes shone thinly.

Maybe it wasn't so many years ago, but looking back now, it seems like it happened in the previous life.

His little Highness shouldn't have died with him in the dirty ground.

——But life is as short as morning dew since ancient times, and death never listens to people's begging, it just comes suddenly.

Excessive physical exertion made his arms tremble, and his panting seemed to burst his lungs.

Jiang Jianming bowed his head in the dark, a stream of blood silently spilled from the corner of his lips, and was forced to step back step by step.

He looked around with out-of-focus eyes.

If he finally manages to blow up the ceiling and die with these alien creatures, and then protects Lai An's body with a crystal bone ring, don't know how likely he is to be rescued.

But it couldn't be more preferable.

When he decided to die, the black-haired young man's face was pale and tired, but still calm, no different from when he pushed down the main gun launcher just now.

But at the next moment, suddenly——

The alien creature in front of him froze for a few seconds, as if shocked by some scene.

With the sound of footsteps, a familiar breath approached from behind.

Jiang Jianming's pupils constricted.

There was another person's weight behind him.

"temple……!?"

Difficult gasps and faint murmurs came from his ears.

It seems to say, don't be afraid.

A cold hand held his right hand tightly.

Across the red golden crystal bone.

First Fortress East.

It was evening, and the blazing light of the main gun had dissipated among the clouds. Several hours had passed.

But the dead silence still pervades.The tragedy of that beam of strong light seemed to be branded in the eyes of every soldier.

"Xie Yuduo, what do you mean by what you said, you lost the two Highnesses!?"

Jin Min was screaming through the communication, the usually serious and prudent lieutenant general, broke his voice at this moment: "Please tell me clearly, you have to see people for life and death... What is the situation now!!"

"..."

Xie Yuduo propped one hand between the messy hair, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak, his eyes were already red.

In the distance, Tang Zhen was crying and yelling to save someone, "Don't fuck me! I'm going alone, it has nothing to do with you!"

Bemaner was standing next to Tang Zhen, arguing fiercely with Zheng Yue, and the whole area was intertwined with various voices, making it chaotic.

Xie Yuduo hunched his back and sat motionless on the spot.

"You have always acted recklessly, and the commander-in-chief spoils you, and we can't control you."

In the communication, Lieutenant General Jin said in a sad voice, "But Xiao Xie, no matter how crazy you are, you should know it in your heart..."

"Even if you, me, and the lives of everyone in Yinbeidou are put on the line, it can't compare to the weight of the two Highnesses!"

"The crown prince of the empire is gone, you and I want...how to explain to His Majesty the emperor, how to explain to the people of the empire!?"

Xie Yuduo said hoarsely: "I understand."

"..."

"As a general of Yin Beidou," he murmured with lowered eyebrows, "he is helpless in the face of a powerful enemy, forcing the lord to take risks with his own body, all because of Xie's incompetence."

Kim Min lost his voice.

Xie Yuduo is a young talent.He has a chic and unrestrained temperament, but he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, with many meritorious deeds, and he has shouldered most of the glory of the Silver Beidou by himself.

Those generals who were a generation older, either hated him as a nail in the eyes and thorn in the flesh, or hated him with their mouths, but indulged him without a bottom line in their hearts.

Only Xie Yuduo can come in with a smile on his face when he is late for the general meeting of the military headquarters, and only Xie Yuduo can send troops to go on an expedition without being punished...

Under the acquiescence of the entire military department, Major General Xie of the Silver Beidou First Army can always have a publicity.

No one has ever seen Xie Yuduo as decadent and depressed as he is now.

Seeing his appearance, Jin Min couldn't say anything more, and could only shake his head and sigh: "You, alas! Stop talking, you should organize a search and rescue as soon as possible. The same sentence, life and death always..."

But I heard Xie Yuduo continue to say: "—but I also know why the Crown Prince and Your Excellency died for."

"at this point."

Major General Xie stood up slowly, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, full of cold light, "Old Jin, the first fortress, I will take it back even if I die."

"So for the final victory... Now I will never do meaningless search and rescue, nor will I allow my soldiers to be shaken by this matter."

Jin Min was surprised and angry: "You!"

Xie Yuduo smiled softly, "Old Jin, if I die too, remember to take care of my wife and daughter for me."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and cut off the communication.

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier hurried over, his face pale: "Major General, alien creatures are coming again, and the crystal cult starship in Yu Region is also starting to move forward."

Xie Yuduo's eyelids twitched.

The Crystal Cults are actually planning to continue.

Lost a bishop, killed so many crystal congregants, and the opposite party has clearly lost the game, but they have not yet retreated, and are still continuing this kind of suicidal crazy attack——

What does this prove?

Xie Yuduo's expression changed, and he contacted the truth that His Highness told them before the battle...

Could it be that this is really accumulating energy for the crystal nest?As long as enough Crystal Chaos dead are created, the next wave of Crystal Chaos may erupt?

But what can do?Xie Yuduo tapped his temple with a headache.

All generals who have led soldiers know that the battlefield relies on bravery, and the more afraid of death, the easier it is to die.

Once he, the chief general, ordered the soldiers to save their lives first, would the morale of Yin Beidou still be there, and would the silver spear of the Empire be as sharp as ever?

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance.

When Xie Yuduo turned his head, he heard the exclamation among the soldiers!

And the major general almost exclaimed in the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, reflecting somewhere in the central area of the fortress——

It was a crystal bone glowing with red gold light.

They directly pierced the black alloy outer wall, reflected in the twilight sky of alien stars, magnificent and majestic.

From a distance, you can see that the tip of each root is covered with the corpses of several alien creatures, as if a divine punishment has come.

In a few seconds, the army, which was still lifeless just now, suddenly became lively as if reborn!

However, Xie Yuduo stood in front of the high-rise broken wall of the fortress in a daze, feeling numb all over.

——This is impossible, the major general thought frightenedly, regardless of the fact that His Highness was already in a state of backlash when he was fighting with Margaret, let's talk about the main cannon...

He himself knows the power of his main gun.

No matter how inhuman their crown prince is, after suffering that blow, it is absolutely impossible to release such a powerful crystal bone again!

Xie Yuduo's face tensed: Now, who is releasing that piece of red-gold crystal bone...or what is it!?

In the central area of the fortress, in the ruined passageway.

As the red gold crystal bones slowly gathered, muffled noises could be heard from the ceiling above the head. It was the sound of the corpses of alien creatures falling one after another.

Ahead, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The alien creatures gathered to surround the two were all pierced by sharp crystal bones and piled up crookedly.

And those huge fiery golden crystal bones, as if God's punishment came down, were slowly being pulled away from the corpse.

The crystal bone was gathered back into the small ring.

And the ring is set on the white ring finger.

Lai An didn't know when she woke up.

He couldn't stand up at all, and his whole body leaned on Jiang Jianming's back like a stream of anger, and his platinum curly hair was piled up on the latter's neck.

He also tightly held Jiang Jianming's right hand wearing the ring.

Jiang Jianming's face was pale, and his heart was beating like a drum. He staggered two steps forward while supporting Lai An, and the two of them sat down on the ground exhausted.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and the sweet and fishy smell came out, making my brain ache.

Jiang Jianming was in a daze.

He stared blankly at the ring on his ring finger.

"...Your Highness?"

He called softly.

For a moment, the dizziness reached its peak.

For about two or three minutes, Jiang Jianming's five senses were confused and his world was spinning.

I couldn't see anything in front of my eyes, only the sharp buzzing and my own painful breathing could be heard in my ears.

"... Lai An?"

Jiang Jianming's eyes were only dark, and he yelled again.

The person in his arms responded with a low hum, and shook his hand weakly, and he really woke up.

But such a seemingly relieved action seemed to trigger some devil's curse.

Suddenly, Jiang Jianming began to bend over and retch, he pinched his heart as if he was suffocating, physiological tears fell down, and his pale hands trembled in a pool of blood.

He convulsed and stood up abruptly, choking out a mouthful of foul blood.Mixed with the alien creatures in front of him, regardless of each other.

The bloody look in front of him seemed to be shaking, shaking.

Gradually distorted the form.

Became the dark blood in Crown of Dawn.

Jiang Jianming gasped in dismay.

He didn't actually know what happened.

He didn't know why, but that crystal bone ring suddenly erupted with a power comparable to Lai'an's heyday.

That's by no means a tenth, at least 70%... no, it's possible that it's already 80%...or even higher...

He didn't know, and didn't want to know, how it was done.

This was the first time that Jiang Jianming resisted with all his heart, unwilling to face the truth.

That's ridiculous.

What about the summer afternoon when he walked out of the gate of the military headquarters coldly, and what about the rainstorm late night when he was actively in chaos?

What about the early morning breeze of Aslan that passed by before departure, and the vast starry sky that he saw from the mecha when he said he was angry?

Along the way, his determination, his decisiveness, and even his ruthlessness when he said to His Highness that I have no regrets—where have all gone!?

He doesn't want to know.

But he has something to know.

For example, he knows that crystal particles are deeply integrated with human beings, and forcibly withdrawing them is not only painful, but also extremely difficult technically.

Twenty percent is the limit for a living person.If it is withdrawn to 50%, the flesh and blood of the whole person will be torn apart.

For example, he also knew about Lai An's death in Crystal Nest.

He has seen the images, the boy who is no longer handsome, the torn flesh, the torn abdominal cavity, half of the viscera smashed into a meat paste, and the misplaced and smashed bones.

For another example, as early as the beginning of all the accidents, he couldn't understand why he had questioned His Royal Highness.

Why go to crystal nest alone, such a reckless move is completely tantamount to suicide.

It was suicide.

It was broken to pieces.

It is to peel off almost all the crystal particles.

Crystal particles have been sleeping in his ring.

So, when he desperately didn't want to know.

He actually already knew.

Jiang Jianming fainted.
