Capítulo 1090: Chapter 856: Remember This Great Name
“General, should we retreat?”
A massive stone-class battleship stood like a giant shield at the forefront of the fleet, and the adjutant inside was whispering.
In such a dangerous situation, the true big shots would never appear here.
For example, Mr. Stuart, who had previously spoken, was now standing in a glacier somewhere on Sky Bear Star, quietly watching them.
General Cohen, burdened with the higher-ups’ will, looked conflicted, appearing to be in his forties, strong and vigorous, but with graying beard, he seemed exceptionally rugged.
His title of General was self-proclaimed within the mercenary group, not an official rank of the Federation.
“Do you dare to retreat? Why don’t you try commanding a ship yourself?”
The adjutant hesitated and dared not speak further.
Under this immense pressure, looking at the super-long orbital cannon formed by four slender assault ships, Cohen took a deep breath and finally picked up the communicator, speaking slowly.
“Your Excellency, Commander, I…”
But!
“It’s Deputy Commander.”
The cold voice rudely interrupted Cohen’s words; violating principles, Black could not be committed, after all, the Commander-in-Chief is the great Lord Host.
This rough, white-bearded man nearly crushed the communicator in anger.
Cohen’s face turned an unnatural red as he suppressed his anger and clenched the communicator, causing it to creak.
“Respected… Alpha… Deputy Commander!”
Saying this took a considerable effort from Cohen, this time he finally didn’t hear any rebuttals from the other side.
[Dammit, do these Gardot Empire navy people have a brain problem!]
Cohen cursed wildly in his heart while looking at the light screen.
“We are very sincere in resolving the dispute with you, but in this situation, our planet is at our backs… Where would you have us retreat to?”
After saying this, there was a moment of silence on the public channel.
Everyone was waiting anxiously for a response.
Finally, Black’s voice came again, but not as cold.
“What you said seems to make some sense.”
“In that case, I’ll be leaving.”
After saying this, before Cohen’s somewhat dazed eyes, the four assault ships that formed the orbital cannon dispersed and slowly retreated to the side of the ship.
Then the black-painted Dawn Battleship began to turn its bow and sail away…
In the sky defense circle of Sky Bear Star, over a hundred warships just hung there motionless.
“Cohen, what is the likelihood of attack now?”
“Have you confirmed the number of enemy ships?”
Stuart’s calm voice sounded again, echoing around Cohen.
Obviously, as one of Sky Bear Star’s negotiators, Stuart was never a softie; he could hold a gun in one hand and conduct business with a smile.
Over 40 billion Star Coins worth of battleships were just gone like that; there had to be an opportunity to recover something.
“Activate array radar scanning, no second hostile ship discovered within 60 minutes, so they should only have this one warship.”
“As for the likelihood of an attack now… I… damn!”
Cohen shouted.
In a hidden base somewhere in the glacier, Stuart’s pupils contracted, nearly causing him to punch through the light screen before him.
Has Cohen eaten a bear’s heart, leopard’s courage to speak to him this way!?
“Cohen, do you feel things have been too peaceful lately?” Stuart said word by word, his eyes darkening.
However, what came through the communication was Cohen’s furious shout: “All ships, evasive maneuvers!”
Naturally, Stuart did not see on the optical imaging screen before Cohen, the black battleship which had clearly turned its bow and started to accelerate away, with an empty deck…
Suddenly a gigantic crossbow, more than twenty-five meters wide, rose!
The silver metal shone brightly in the pitch-black universe.
On the empty deck, the terrifying light arrow over two meters in diameter and the thick bowstring simultaneously appeared, instantly drawn tight to the maximum.
The arrow was pointed directly at Sky Bear Star, at those hundreds of border army warships.
“Though I walked away proudly, but…”
“Mortals, remember this great name from now on, Imperial Navy Deputy Commander… Alpha!”
This message came through on the public channel.
The giant crossbow’s tightly wound string snapped, and the thick light arrow shot out with a roar!
The light arrow shot straight toward the fleet.
Lord Black, who never played by the rules, gave the Sky Bear Star brigands a real lesson this time.
That is, what is truly a cold face with a black heart, what is truly… shameless.
At this moment, the border army soldiers had no time to spit blood or curse, only desperately controlling their ships to dodge.
“The light arrow hasn’t locked onto us.”
Mercenaries under his command quickly turned and said.
In just a few seconds, all the border soldiers stared unblinking as the massive light arrow skimmed over the fleet and plunged straight into the atmosphere!
Everyone felt as if they had walked on the edge of life and death.
But soon, they all snapped alert.
Where did that crossbow shot land?
…
“To C Zone, three people.”
“2400 Star Coins.” The city rail car driver eyed Mu Fan and the two outstanding girls beside him but didn’t show the frivolous look common in C Zone or B Zone.
After all, these three came from A Zone heading elsewhere.
In this place, who knows what abilities and backgrounds they have.
Just as the three sat into the heavy sightseeing rail car, the sky suddenly lit up.
Sinya and Lu Qingxue looked up one after another.
In the sky, the thin cloud layer was instantly torn apart!
A massive light spear descended from the heavens, drawing a brilliant orange light trail in the air.
Lu Qingxue looked at the sky in surprise, then glanced at Mu Fan, an inquiry flashing through her clear eyes.
[Why is it happening again?]
Mu Fan could only… helplessly shrug at her gaze.
He clearly just indicated to Black to divert attention for him but didn’t instruct any specific actions from Black.
Lu Qingxue seeing Mu Fan’s cheeky look returned a bewitching, slight eye-roll, then again looked out the window.
The light spear plunged to the earth like the Thunderbolt Sword of a deity!
Boom!
At the deepest part of Oasis City A Zone, that snow-covered conical mountain, looking like a fan hanging upside down in the air… at this moment, exploded from the summit.
The top of the mountain seemed to experience a nuclear blast, a magnificent sea of fire soared, those snowfields vaporized into lava and airwaves.
The earth quaked and mountains shook! The intense shock wave spread with a roar across the ground.
This symbol of Oasis City was brutally obliterated.
Even on the city’s edge, this train felt the rumbling tremors.
Sinya’s small mouth was wide open, gripping the handrail tightly with both hands.
The driver who just picked up a cigarette, dumbfoundedly stared at the terrifying phenomena in the sky, then suddenly pushed the throttle.
The train car reverberated with the driver’s do-or-die scream.
“Hold on tight, damn it, we can’t stay here anymore.”
The middle-aged driver ignored the high-temperature warning, vigorously pushing the throttle, and the rail car thundered away at full speed.
And throughout Oasis City, those Great Mercenary Corps which had just calmed down ignored all bans and reminders, countless ships took to the air and scattered away like bees in a panic.
Staying any longer, who knew if they’d be vaporized.
They came here to make their fortune, not to court death.
Lord Black’s shameless parting shot…
Directly blew up the Oasis City.
“This attention shift was spot on.” In Mu Fan’s ear, Black mumbled to himself.
Mu Fan quietly watched the scenery outside the window, not wanting to speak now.
