Chapter 1208 Three Stars Lock!
“Yes, general.” Jin Anlong instantly contacted the headquarters. While waiting for the headquarters" reply, he looked at his general worryingly.
“General, it"s four versus three now. Will our G.o.d-cla.s.s operators be able to handle it?” It was their turn to be in danger.
“We must stop them. You"ll take over the command from now.” Qi Yaoyang started walking out of the command center.
“General, where are you going?” Jin Anlong was puzzled.
“To partic.i.p.ate in the war,” Qi Yaoyang answered without turning around.
“That is a battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. General, don"t be rash.” Jin Anlong was agitated. Their general was an imperial operator but those were G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. He would die if he fought with them.
Qi Yaoyang turned around and smiled brightly. “If we don"t try it, how will we know the result?” He walked into the elevator leading to the mecha hold. Jin Anlong wanted to persuade him but the elevator door had already closed.
“General…” Jin Anlong was a step too late. He stomped his feet and went back to the command centre helplessly. He must wait for the reply from the headquarters. He couldn"t leave. He must not let his general down.
After entering the mecha hold, Qi Yaoyang quickly changed his attire and entered his mecha.
He pressed the JMC channel and said calmly, “Prepare Sky G.o.d for ejection.”
“General!” The JMC exclaimed in surprise. She didn"t expect her general to enter the war personally.
“Last warning, prepare Sky G.o.d,” Qi Yaoyang solemnly said.
“Yes!” The JMC quickly regained her senses. She immediately ordered for Sky G.o.d to be brought to the launching port. After a series of inspections, Sky G.o.d was ejected out.
Qi Yaoyang controlled Sky G.o.d and came to the frontline. He contacted the three G.o.d-cla.s.s operators and told them that two G.o.d-cla.s.s operators from Granda were on their way.
“Lieutenant General Qi, what are you doing here?” King Muqi reprimanded Qi Yaoyang sternly as he fought with Lord Jindao. He was unhappy about Qi Yaoyang"s rash decision to come to the frontline.
“As the acting commander-in-chief, I can"t hide behind everyone while everyone risks their lives,” Qi Yaoyang replied calmly.
“This is a battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators. You"re an imperial operator. You won"t be of much help. You might even distract us.” King Muqi wasn"t kind with his words. He came here to protect Qi Yaoyang. If Qi Yaoyang was killed in the battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators, he wouldn"t be able to answer to his people.
“Senior Muqi, if I don"t fight, how will I know what"s the difference between imperial level and G.o.d-cla.s.s?” Qi Yaoyang replied seriously.
King Muqi immediately thought of something. He pushed Lord Jindao back before asking, “Are you confident?”
“I must try it,” Qi Yaoyang said earnestly.
“Be careful.” King Muqi chose to trust Qi Yaoyang before turning his attention back to Lord Jindao. However, his attacks were much more ruthless and quick now. He hoped that he could kill Lord Jindao as soon as possible so that he could help Qi Yaoyang.
Almost at the same time, the two G.o.d-cla.s.s mechas from Granda arrived at the frontline. Lord Jindao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them. The Twilight army wouldn"t be destroyed by Falling Snow now.
Federick and Tarl looked menacingly at Falling Snow. He was the only G.o.d-cla.s.s operator who didn"t have an opponent so they attacked him together without much thought.
Suddenly, a ray of light shot towards Federick. Federick evaded the beam easily by just side-stepping. He turned to look at the attacker. It was an imperial operator.
“What is an imperial operator doing in a battle between G.o.d-cla.s.s operators?” Federick sneered.
“The people from Huaxia have always been arrogant. For instance, that Immortal Bird Ling Xiao claiming that he"s the most powerful G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. How shameless.” Tarl scoffed. Many G.o.d-cla.s.s operators like him were unhappy that Ling Xiao was given the t.i.tle of the most powerful G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. If G.o.d-cla.s.s operators could leave their countries, they might have gone to look for Ling Xiao to have a battle with him.
“Let me kill that irritating small fry first. You can handle Falling Snow alone, right?” Federick asked Tarl.
“Falling Snow is not that powerful. I can handle him,” Tarl replied to him in a dissatisfied tone.
“Okay. Once I"m done, I will help you,” Federick said, using the same tone he would use when going out to shop for vegetables.
“Once you kill that small fry, I"ll probably be done too,” Tarl replied proudly. He had always thought of himself as being one of the most powerful G.o.d-cla.s.s operators, so surely he was stronger than Falling Snow whose rank was around the bottom half among the G.o.d-cla.s.s operators in the Federation. He felt that many people ignored the G.o.d-cla.s.s operators from Granda just because they had never publicly shown their might before. Thus, they thought that only the G.o.d-cla.s.s operators from the Federation were strong because of their savage act of constantly fighting.
“Good luck then.” Federick knew of Tarl"s inferiority complex so he wasn"t going to burst his bubble. He quickly raised his beam saber and attacked Qi Yaoyang. For him, killing an imperial operator would only take a few rounds.
He slashed his sword. However, it struck nothing. He was stunned.
“What happened?” He waved his sword again and stabbed Qi Yaoyang furiously.
A few abrasions were seen on Qi Yaoyang"s mecha. It was a dangerous situation for him but in the end, Qi Yaoyang managed to dodge all the incoming attacks. The soldiers from the Federation were surprised. They raised their arms and cheered loudly.
Even the most stupid person would realise that their general wasn"t just any normal imperial operator. He wasn"t a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator now but he wasn"t far away.
“Yaoyang has reached this step. The brat kept his secret well.” King Muqi had been watching over Qi Yaoyang all this while. When he saw Qi Yaoyang remaining unscath at the end, he could finally relax a little.
An imperial operator needed an opportunity to become a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. Qi Yaoyang had already reached this step. He just needed an opportunity to jump to G.o.d-cla.s.s. He probably entered into war because he wanted to give himself enough pressure to advance to G.o.d-cla.s.s.
Of course, opportunity comes with risk. If he had a choice, King Muqi didn"t want Qi Yaoyang to advance using this method, as almost no one succeeded before with this method. Most died in the hands of the G.o.d-cla.s.s operator before they could become one.
Qi Yaoyang seemed to have evaded all the attacks just now but it was still very dangerous for him. A slight mistake would cost his life.
Qi Yaoyang was only half a step to G.o.d-cla.s.s but his operating skills and his mecha were all weaker than a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha master"s. He was in a dire situation.
At that moment, the disappeared division, the 23rd division, finally pa.s.sed through the death wormhole and arrived at the heart of the Twilight Empire.
Ling Xiao looked at the logistics headquarters of the Twilight Empire in front of him. This was the Three Stars Lock.
That year, his entire team died when they were pa.s.sing through the death wormhole. He was the sole survivor. 25 years later, he came here again. This time, he succeeded in sneaking through the wormhole.
