Chapter 1175 - 601: Hardship for Everyone
A blaze of intense light soared into the sky, as the Empire's Armored Knights swarmed out within the blockade formed by reconnaissance and combat aircraft.
In addition, under the orders of the Security Bureau, all members urgently gathered, and under dire orders, all Chosen Ones capable of ascending to the skies broke through the air completely.
Like a scene of doomsday descending, it appeared over Tower City.
On half of the sky, machine guns fired as each fighter fearlessly pursued behind an incredibly slippery bomber, intercepting without hesitation.
Thunderbolts burst atop the sky, while intense light rose from the ground; amidst countless destruction and death, the Revenge soared like a black bird.
Constantly accelerating, as it swept across the sky, the roaring engine emitted piercing echoes like raucous laughter.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sky, all was empty, the sky bright blue, under the Federation's monitoring and suppression, all was peaceful, time serenely passing.
Only one sharp aura after another ascended, vigilant over this manic 'military exercise'. All missile launchers had already targeted the Empire's strategic weaknesses.
Seemingly calm silence, yet in reality, everything had been prepared for a life-and-death showdown.
A crisis sufficient to ignite the entire powder keg was about to erupt.
Making all bewildered onlookers start to tremble and panic.
Can't comprehend.
Clearly, a scene full of vigor and all things competing, still fresh in memory, like yesterday...
And vexed as to why the Empire is behaving so insanely, instantly pushing a situation that was somewhat stable to such a perilous degree!
There's no need for it, man, truly no need!
If you want something, just say it directly, brothers can squeeze, gather together, still manage to scrape up some benefits!
Begging you!
You, you... why bother?!
On the ground, several kilometers from the Imperial Garrison Base, a swollen, pale human head appeared above the foul drain's sewage, then submerged again.
Just like that, floating and bobbing, rising and falling unpredictably all the way west, disappearing in the waves of the tumbling tide.
Ten minutes later, in the deep sea, the deathly still head suddenly twitched, followed closely by life returning from the burning sacrifice.
Eyelids started to blink again, the missing body restored under the burn of blood flames, in the pupils, a glimmer of world-weary spirit emerged.
Ten minutes later, a withered, naked old shell gatherer with white hair climbed back onto the tattered small boat, holding a bunch of shells.
Gasping, the old man wished to drink water, but suddenly felt something amiss, touched his hair, and pulled out a broken golden mushroom needle...
At once, couldn't help but perform a broadcast exercise filled with worldly language essence!
Now he finally understood why Ji Jue had such a meaningful smile when talking about his retreat path.
Turns out you sly bastard headed straight for the toilet, huh!
What on earth are you treating our group as!
BOOM—
Amidst the piercing screams, the shadow cast on the sky fleetingly passed, followed by another, then another... amidst the roar of machine guns, the sea surface exploded into sprays as countless rounds strafed.
The small skiff rocked uncontrollably in the raging wind.
And the 'terrified' old man lying prostrate couldn't help but lift his head, looking at the fleeting shadow in the low sky just now, with a face twitching.
Sly bastard, playing it big!
Even seeking death in such a sensational manner...
"Early reincarnation, boss."
Tang Qian rolled his eyes, raised his middle finger remotely, "Have a safe trip!"
No response.
Only the Revenge, soaring freely amid the siege above the sky, emitted a wild, sharp laugh.
Goodbye, I'm off to find death!
.
At that instant, in the cockpit resonating with countless alarm sounds on the Revenge, the pilot seat suddenly emitted a biu~ sound.
Under a fixed-point transfer of the Doomsday Special Train, 'Ji Jue' was instantly teleported into the empty cockpit, even before he could fasten the seatbelt, he felt a dizzying whirl.
Under the tumbling maneuver, he almost got flattened like a rag against the top cover.
Billowing smoke, swept toward him!
At this moment, amidst the siege of dozens of fighters and the Empire's Armored Knights, the wildly rampaging Revenge was already nearing its limit.
The bomber, once built by the Empire at great expense, was now, under the fire of assorted weapons, riddled with perforations. Wings damaged, left-wing engine out, fuel element reserve nearly depleted, teetering on the brink.
Practically like a miracle.
In this game of cat and mouse, it's persisted until now, striving with makeshift movements, constantly clashing, yet always unable to break through the Empire's increasingly tight blockade.
The Revenge, just continuously accelerating, without any warning, suddenly raised its nose, a swift air brake!
A cobra maneuver tossed the Empire's ensnaring armored units behind it to the front, then shot down the incoming heat-seeking missiles with pinpoint bursts.
Having circled offshore, the Revenge suddenly wheeled about unexpectedly, trying to shake off the encircling adversaries.
Unfortunately, already too late.
With insufficient power, it struggled to maintain peak speed, the damaged fuselage rapidly disintegrated and peeled away amidst the supersonic rush.
Boom!
Dangerously, flipped sharply, narrowly gliding through the bothersome arc of electricity, speed ultimately slowed for a split-second, getting locked by Tian Yuan.
Invisible force erupted from the void, missing by a whisker, but tearing off the exposed landing gears.
Immediately, the Revenge violently shook, seemingly losing control, spinning.
At this moment, in the cockpit, when Ji Jue erased the last trace once again raised his head, he saw armored knights continuously charging forward and the shadows rising vaguely within Tower City.
The net of Heaven and Earth lies ahead, nowhere left to flee.
No need to escape any further.
The final stop lies ahead!
In mid-air, the Revenge, smoking all over, wobbling and about to collapse, actually accelerated once more to crash head-on into the siege ahead!
"Warning Revenge C-09, immediately disarm all weaponry, immediately comply with the command for forced landing, you have nowhere left to escape, repeat, you have nowhere left to escape!"
In the encrypted channel of friendly communications, that voice already hoarse was still continuing: "The Empire will accord you POW treatment based on humanitarianism, defect while there's still time, cooperate with the Empire, you have your only chance and avenue for survival!
Warning, Revenge C-09, immediately——"
Amidst repeated echoes, the Revenge, engulfed in flames, let out a sound like maniacal laughter piercing through the sky.
Within the net of entrapment, it suddenly pressed its nose down.
As if suicidal, it plunged straight towards the earth!
To be precise... straight towards the President's mansion of the White Country's temporary government, who looked utterly confused, not understanding what was happening!
On the public channel, a response from the Revenge finally sounded.
Amidst sharp alarms and noise, someone in the cockpit hysterically roared and shouted at the Empire, at Tower City, at all the observers here, and even at the entire world.
Finally, they uttered that classic line that always comes before countless explosions.
"——White King witness, White Country forever!!!"
The hoarse and sharp voice instantly reached everyone's ears.
"What the hell?!"
Countless onlookers instinctively jolted upright, their expressions twisting, and before they could even react, everything before their eyes turned to black.
It felt like witnessing the ashes of their nine clans freely flying in the air.
Instinctively clutching their heads, they let out indescribable screams.
Damn it, what the hell are you talking about!!!
Brother, if you can't talk, just don't. I'll bow to you. Can you swallow those words back? Please!
You damn it, say something else!
I beg you, quickly just add a line that says I was acting, okay?
Sadly, there was no longer any chance.
Ji Jue had no chance anymore.
And neither did they…
Boom!!!!
On the earth, blazing light that had been gathered for a long time soared into the sky.
The pitch-black power armor, like a giant, sliced through the air, ignoring gravity and wind resistance, flickering and appearing out of nowhere in front of the plummeting bomber.
A ferocious face lifted, instantly locking onto the pilot roaring in the cockpit.
The Empire's Fifth Generation Power Armor, prototype, dispatched!
Even before there was time to react.
A bizarre spear, without any warning, pierced through the air, easily tearing through the cockpit, transfixing and nailing the audacious beast.
At the same time, intangible forces in the void suddenly clutched, gripping the falling bomber, forcibly freezing it above the sky.
Before the screen, Duke Pasarella stood up excitedly, eyes wide open, staring intently at the scene, finally unable to hold back, and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the operations conference room, countless people cheered, shouted, clapped each other's shoulders, and hugged each other, tears almost flowing.
Finally!
Finally, damn it, it's over!
Soon, they saw the images transmitted by the Armored Knight.
On the spear, the charred figure that was barely hanging on was struggling and twitching, but suddenly stiffened.
Under the backlash of the Wolf Pack's Blood Oath, the soul was annihilated, welcoming death.
No longer any breath…
The lifeless shell could no longer maintain its disguise.
In the stunned gazes of all, thick and hard black fur emerged from under the flesh, the flesh distorting into a beast-like face...
Rapidly crumbling, turning to dust and ashes.
Gone.
Just like the smile that had just appeared on Pasarella's face.
A minute later, another photo from the scene was beamed onto the screen in the bunker.
The screen glowed dimly, casting light on faces with the same numb expression as Sima.
In the photo, the burning wreckage of the Revenge was fiercely twisted, unrecognizable from its former appearance.
And on its launch rack, which should have been fully loaded…
Completely empty.
But where is the Fusion Bomb?
Where the hell did the Fusion Bomb go!
"Hey…"
In the operations command room, the stupefied armaments chief suddenly laughed hollowly.
He raised his hand, wanting to speak but unable to, unable to speak but wanting to, but no words came, only his trembling hand drawing out a sidearm, stuffing it into his mouth, stifling the wail.
Not even the strength to pull the trigger.
In the deathly silence, no one spoke again.
Only in the streak of light breaking through the sky, did the figure finally emerge.
"Don't be afraid, children, I am here!!!!"
In a bold and stirring voice, Earth Imperial Cliff Ellis arrived with Imperial reinforcements, laughing and raising his head, already ready to fight a fierce battle against the formidable enemy!
Sadly, no one replied.
He bewilderedly looked around, only seeing a faint air of mortality lingering on every face and the dead look in everyone's eyes.
Stunned in place.
"Ah, this…"
Puzzled, he ran a hand through his own golden hair, finding it hard to understand:
"Am I late?"
