  Chapter 34 Oh, are you surprised?

    "Ye Shu! Ye Shu!!!"

    Who is shouting...?

    "The blood loss has reached 40%, and the respiratory system is failing rapidly..."

    "Marshal, his left arm is completely stuck. If the delay continues...and we don't have time to wait anymore..."

    "No! You can't intercept it!!! Marshal, wait a little longer, Ye Shu is..."

    "What if we don't stop him?! Are we all going to wait here with him to die??!"

    "..."

    The noisy voices made Ye Shu's brain feel dull pain. Countless pictures seemed to flash before his eyes, and they seemed to be just a chaotic snowflake.

    Finally, all the noise fell into silence.

    Ye Shu reluctantly opened a crack and saw Huo Chao's face in a blood-red field of vision.

    The black-haired man was wearing a blood-stained military uniform, and his voice was still calm and calm, as if it had never changed.

    He touched Ye Shu's head and said,

    "It'll be fine, Little Leaf."

    "..."

    No!

    don't want!!!

    At that time, Ye Shu, who was seriously injured, could no longer speak, but he believed that the other party could understand his rejection.But that day, Marshal Huo Chao was still merciless. He raised his knife and cut off Ye Shu's left arm with one blow.

    Ye Shu managed to survive, but he also lost the opportunity to pursue his dream forever.

    He understood Huo Chao's approach, but he couldn't agree with it.Fa could not help but feel a trace of resentment.

    Why not wait any longer...

    Why don't you wait for me?

    Wasn't my arm injured just for you?!!

    - So that was the last time they saw each other.

    Later, Jiang Jinsheng equipped Ye Shu with a mechanical prosthetic body, and the latter showed off to almost everyone except Huo Chao.

    This is probably what Ye Shu regrets most in his life.

    Why didn't you go see him?

    Why didn't I go see him again at that time?

    Among the countless human emotions, regret is probably more painful than anger and hatred.It will trap you in the most painful image maze, and you may even be unable to get out of it for the rest of your life.

    This was indeed the case with later Ye Shu.

    He built an underground city on Asparagus, but to him this city was just a place to store the Forbidden Abyss.Therefore, all neighborhoods except Asahi District, under his deliberate indulgence, became synonymous with chaos, filth, and even sin.

    Because sparse leaves need such protective color.

    He did not have as strong combat power and military reputation as Zhou Jiuya, and could inherit the military power of the Huo Dynasty.

    Nor does he have the outstanding political ability like Pei Changyun who can deal with the major forces, break through the shackles of the church, overthrow the alliance, and finally establish a new empire.

    Not even as good as Jiang Jinsheng.

    Therefore, Ye Shu finally chose to become a tombkeeper.

    He established a chaotic, gray dark city without considerable military power, but with interests involved in countless nobles.

    Because only such a place can survive safely in the narrow gap between the empire and the church, and can safely... guard that person's last legacy.

    "Ye Shu! Wake up!!!"

    Zhou Jiuya's voice sounded anxious, and after a moment, he issued the order.

    "Wan Jiang, inject him with some sedatives"

    "OK."

    Mechanical tentacles stretched out from above the cockpit and injected the cold tranquilizer into Ye Shu's veins through the needle. After a few minutes, the latter finally broke free from the chaotic dream.

    Strange yet familiar places came into view.

    Ye Shu was in a daze for a moment before he realized that he was now in Wan Jiang's cockpit.

    Wan Jiang, this was the first double-S mecha that Jiang Jinsheng successfully developed based on the main program of Forbidden Abyss.

    At that time, he and Zhou Jiuya competed for the ownership of Wan Jiang at the same time. As for the result... of course Zhou Jiuya won.Among the four of them, Huo Chao's combat power undoubtedly ranks first, followed by Zhou Jiuya.

    So before Huo Chao died, Ye Shu had never defeated this annoying guy once.As for Huo Chao's death, Zhou Jiuya never seriously fought with him again.

    Probably because his brain was attacked, Ye Shu didn't know why he kept thinking about the past that should have been buried long ago. He was now dizzy, his body was weak, and he couldn't even stand up.

    Seeing that Ye Shu finally woke up, Zhou Jiuya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    "I have called the medical team for support, you..."

    "unnecessary!"

    Ye Shu refused.He finally calmed down a bit and began to pay attention to the battlefield situation at this moment.

    Zhou Jiuya was already accustomed to his hedgehog-like attitude towards him, not to mention that it was not the time to chat. He immediately opened the military communication channel and quickly issued an attack order.

    The first round of magnetic storms finally began to fade. After receiving the order, the First Legion immediately changed its battle matrix and began to counterattack.

    This is not the first time they have faced off against the church.

    Perhaps only the few remaining veterans from that time know that when the First Legion was still the Dawn Legion under Marshal Huo Chao, the two sides had already forged a bloody feud.

    The Huan Shen Cult, which has always been known to be compassionate and put itself in the position of the savior, showed its bloody minions for the first time.

    At this moment, the prelude to the war has completely begun. The densely packed mecha battleships collided together in the endless firelight.

    Zhou Jiuya did not stay on the ground, but took off.

    After all, this is a barren desert, and Wan Jiang is a perfect target standing here.

    There was silence in the cockpit for a moment, and then the two people suddenly spoke without warning,

    "Where is the core of the Forbidden Abyss?!"

    "What exactly is your and Pei Changyun's plan!?"

    Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu looked at each other for a few seconds, finally closed their eyes and explained quickly,

    "The situation on Earth is worse than imagined. There is a... creature that can control the Zerg. Our preliminary guess is that there is a 65% chance that it is the King Zerg."

    The Zerg are a race that surpasses human understanding of alien creatures.After a long period of exploration, humans have barely figured out their strict internal hierarchies.

    King insect, leader, general, ordinary soldier.

    Osa who was on Earth that day was just a general.The Zerg at the true leader level have broken away from the monster form they recognized and are almost humanoid.During the invasion of the Earth, almost only Zhou Jiuya and Huo Chao were able to resist.

    It's just that no one has seen the King Insect, they just know that there is such a thing.

    "Therefore, the restart of the Forbidden Abyss must be put on the agenda. But Ye Shu, you know that Jiang Jinsheng tried to repair the core of the Forbidden Abyss, but failed in the end. It was precisely because it could not be repaired that you brought the core of the Forbidden Abyss with you in the first place.Go. So now, our only choice is to cooperate with the church."

    Although Yulia was despicable and shameless, one thing was right. The Forbidden Abyss was indeed a valuable asset of the church in the beginning.

    Only the church now has the ability to repair the core of the Forbidden Abyss.

    Before the Illusion God Religion appeared, the Human Alliance's technology and even mental power connection technology were a big problem, and most of them still used manually controlled mechas.The emergence of the church has brought science and technology to the earth that are almost a millennium ahead of mankind.

    Because of this, the Illusion God Religion took control of the voice within the alliance as quickly as possible and raised a large number of believers in a short period of time.

    "what about now?"

    Ye Shu wiped the dried blood on the side of his face and stared coldly at the battlefield in the distance.

    "Since we have chosen to cooperate with them, we can just let them go down and get the core directly. Why give the order to attack again?"

    "It's not that simple,"

    Zhou Jiuya shook his head. The conversation with Ye Shu did not affect his control and command of the battle situation at all. At this moment, the legion commander was quickly adjusting the deployment of the army's firepower.

    Among the generals under Marshal Huo Chao, Zhou Jiuya's military ability is undoubtedly the highest. However, he is suitable to be a general and a powerful warrior, but he is not suitable to be a shrewd politician.

    This was also the main reason why Pei Changyun won over him at all costs.

    Zhou Jiuya looked solemn and continued,

    "It's true that we want the church to repair the Forbidden Abyss, but the core must be in our hands."

    "...Such shameless politicians' rhetoric,"

    Ye Shu rubbed his temples and sarcastically said,

    "That's what Pei Changyun said."

    Zhou Jiuya looked back at him and said nothing.

    "..."

    Tsk, why did I get guessed again?

    At this time, the church, which was clinging to the First Legion's harassment tactics, finally became anxious.

    The white aircraft carrier readjusted its position, and the muzzles on the side were densely spread out——

    The next second, tens of thousands of interstellar missiles were fired straight down from high altitude. At this moment, the thick ground was like a piece of tissue paper, torn to pieces easily.Immediately afterwards, the thousands-mile-long surface suddenly collapsed, and the huge city that was deeply protected underground was now exposed without reservation.

    The entire underground city shook violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred at this moment.At this moment of war, even the various criminals who have been wandering in the gray area all year round can't help but show a gloomy look of fear and powerlessness.

    This round of missile attacks opened up a new war situation, and the battlefields of both sides quickly began to shift, from the outer space of Asparagus, to the ground, and then to the rapidly collapsing underground.

    Yulia controlled a beast-shaped mecha similar to a kite, quickly passed through the cracks in the collapsed ground, and plunged into the underground city.

    This time she was ordered to bring such a huge combat legion, not with the intention of starting a war with the empire. After all, the era of the alliance and the omnipotent era of the church had passed. The earth fell, the alliance collapsed, and the Illusionary God Sect also suffered an unprecedented blow..

    Otherwise, how could it be Pei Changyun's turn to become the emperor of some empire?

    Now that the Empire has the upper hand, the Church can only avoid its edge. The first step to break the deadlock is to regain the Forbidden Abyss.

    Yulia narrowed her eyes. This time the Forbidden Abyss is restarted, they will be very careful in selecting people, and there will never be another traitor like Huo Chao!

    Ye Shu had been paying attention to whether anyone entered the underground. The moment he saw Yulia entering, the alarm in his head immediately screamed crazily.

    "Damn!!!"

    He struggled to stand up, but his body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he could hardly even stand.This was also the main reason why Ye Shu didn't leave immediately after waking up.

    In such a state, let alone driving a mecha to kill the opponent, it would be a problem for him to even get out.The Lord of the City clenched his fists again and again, and finally he could only turn back angrily.

    "Zhou Jiuya! Stop them and never let them enter the dungeon!!!"

    Ye Shu gritted his teeth and finally said it.

    "The core of the Forbidden Abyss is the artificial sun you saw before!"

    Now that the matter has come to this, rather than letting the people from the church take it away, it is better to hand it over to Zhou Jiuya!

    Hearing this, the latter looked at him deeply and immediately gave the order.

    "At all costs, stop the enemy and prohibit them from entering the dungeon!"

    After saying that, Wan Jiang leaned back in the air and suddenly turned into a meteor, shooting straight into the depths of the ground.

    Although the First Legion tried their best to stop them, dozens of holy-colored mechas still entered the ground.However, although it is not as large as the official imperial army like the First Legion, as the city lord, Ye Shu's armed strength in the underground city cannot be underestimated.

    The moment they saw the intruder, they immediately intercepted them quickly.

    More than a dozen black mechas connected in the air, shooting laser rays at each other, intertwining into a giant net in the blink of an eye, and rushed towards the red-gold Kite mecha at the front!

    But Yulia didn't take this kind of low-level power grid interception to heart at all. She said in a deep voice——

    "open circuit!!!"

    Behind her, more than a dozen holy-colored mechas rushed forward and tore a hole for her.Yulia is in no mood to tangle with these minions now. Her goal is to get the core of the Forbidden Abyss as soon as possible, otherwise she will wait until Jiu Crow catches up next week...

    "Yulia——!!!"

    This angry rebuke was simply earth-shattering. Before the woman could even finish hearing this angry rebuke, a huge sword filled with murderous intent was slashed down on her head——

    Yulia had no time to dodge, so she could only turn over suddenly and cross her wings to resist, but this was in vain. She was completely unable to withstand this powerful blow. The moment the two sides collided, she was stopped by the giant sword.Knock him away hard!

    boom!!!

    The huge beast-shaped mecha collapsed several blocks and slid and rubbed on the ground until it reached a hundred meters before it came to a stop.The attack power of this blow is indeed a bit exaggerated. After all, Yulia's Red Kite is also an S-class mecha.

    The S-class mechas produced by the church are different from those produced by the Empire. The data in all aspects are basically very close to the double-S mechas.But even so, since there is no way to fight back,

    At this time, even Ye Shu glanced at Zhou Jiuya in surprise.

    However, three hundred years later, this guy has been running around fighting for Pei Changyun for almost two hundred years, and it is normal for his strength to increase.However, Ye Shu didn't know that in fact, the incident just now was somewhat personal.

    "Zhou Jiuya——!!!"

    Yulia's angry scolding came from a distance, and there was a faint sound of coughing up blood.

    "Do you want to ruin the cooperation?! Without our Illusory God Cult, even if you were given a hundred years, you would never be able to repair the Forbidden Abyss!!!"

    "Oh? Were you not the ones who launched the first attack and ruined the cooperation?"

    Zhou Jiuya cut Yulia's way to the artificial sun with a cold expression.

    "The empire's attitude and position have long been made clear. You are responsible for the restoration, but the entire process of repairing the Forbidden Abyss must be controlled by us."

    "..."

    While Yulia gritted her teeth and remained silent, Ye Shu in the cockpit of General Wan sneered again,

    "Oh, Pei Gou's repeater!"

    Zhou Jiuya: "..."

    It doesn't matter, this level of cynicism can no longer attack the Legion Commander.

    After all, a few decades ago, he could only be pinned to the ground and beaten by Ye Shu.

    This level is already considered very gentle.

    Yulia stood up and gave orders with a low breath.

    "Red Bird, transform."

    The original bird-like mecha was transformed and assembled into a human form.The animal form of a bird like this is generally more conducive to increasing speed. Now that she has been intercepted, the best option is to return to human form to fight.

    The cooperation reached before did say that the restoration process must be under the strict supervision of the empire, but how could the church suffer this secret loss, so it only agreed in disguise.

    Now that the core location has been found, she must get it.

    But Zhou Jiuya is too strong. When he was a boy, he first accompanied Huo Chao to establish the Dawn Army. After Huo Chao died, he assisted the emperor in conquering most of the empire. In terms of personal bravery, almost no one in the empire can rival him today..

    but……

    Yulia sneered,

    ——But it’s only within the empire.

    "Zhou Jiuya, haven't you always wanted to know why the church suddenly launched an ambush on the Dawn Legion?"

    The woman's pupils were filled with darkness,

    "Because it was Huo Chaoxian who betrayed us!"

    These words made the two people in Wan Jiang's cockpit freeze.

    Ye Shu knew Huo Chao earlier than Zhou Jiuya, but at that time, Huo Chao was already a major general in the alliance army.No one knows why he is closely related to the church.

    It even owns the church’s most precious asset——

    The only 3S mecha in the universe, Forbidden Abyss.

    "Although we in the Illusory God Religion disdain to mention that traitor again, I will tell you today with great mercy."

    Yulia smiled coldly

    "If that guy had not chosen to betray, not only would he be alive and well now, he might even be..."

    At this moment, a sudden change occurred——!

    The hair on the back of Zhou Jiuya's neck suddenly stood up. He suddenly drew his sword and turned around to block.

    boom!!!

    The violent collision of weapons almost shattered Ye Shu's eardrums, but he had no time to care at this time. He looked at the giant monster that looked like a mantis in front of him in shock and lost his voice,

    "Zerg?!"

    But the next second, Zhou Jiuya rejected his judgment with a solemn expression.

    "No, this is a biological mecha made from the Zerg body!"

    Judging from the size and attack power, it is probably at the level of a general. But after it was transformed into a mecha, and someone was inside to command and control it, its combat effectiveness was almost doubled!!!

    "oh?"

    There was a burst of unruly laughter from inside the Zerg mecha.

    "You actually know?"

    In the distance, Yulia put one hand on her chest, bowed her head and performed a respectful prayer.

    "Master Cruzi, he will trouble you."

    The latter responded lazily,

    "Um."

    Seeing Yulia's respectful attitude, Zhou Jiuya immediately guessed her rank within the church.

    -This guy is an archbishop.

    He had heard Huo Chao talk about the strict hierarchy within the Huan Shen Cult before.

    The pope has the highest status, followed by three archbishops, then twelve bishops, and finally the believers.The believers are divided into three, six or nine levels.

    At this time, Yulia had transformed into an animal form again and flew towards the artificial sun in the distance at high speed.

    Zhou Jiuya immediately swung his sword and forced Cruzi back.

    "Don't even think about it——!!!"

    The next second, Wan Jiang rotated and stretched out three cannon barrels from his shoulders, aiming at Yulia's back in the blink of an eye. However, before the cannonballs were fired, the sharp front legs of the biological mecha approached him like a sickle.

    Cha——!

    The giant sword collided with the front foot, causing a series of sparks to strike.

    "Jiang Jinsheng tried his best to secretly learn the church's technology, but now it seems,"

    The man smiled hoarsely and maliciously,

    "It's nothing more than a scratch."

    After saying that, Cruzi smiled evilly and thrust his other front foot straight into Wanjiang's cockpit from below.

    boom!!!

    The defensive shield popped up in time, but the terrifying force actually forced all the generals to retreat!

    But the other party didn't give Zhou Jiuya any chance to breathe at all, and got entangled in him almost instantly.

    The appearance of the Zerg and the combat thinking of humans, the two combined together, are an enemy Zhou Jiuya has never encountered before, but the most important task now is not to defeat the opponent, but how to get rid of the entanglement and stop Yulia

    Bang bang bang!!!

    The battle situation at this moment can no longer be judged directly with the naked eye, because it is too fast and fierce——

    The two sides fought quickly, and in just a few seconds, they had already fought for dozens of rounds. The red-gold sparks collided with each other. For a moment, they were evenly matched, but in terms of the overall situation, the empire was losing.

    ——Because Yulia has quickly approached the core of the Forbidden Abyss in the Red Bird.

    Her pupils were dilated to the extreme with excitement.

    The huge bird opened its long beak to the extreme, and it was about to swallow the golden core in one second.

    boom!!!

    Suddenly a thunderous thunder struck down in the air, killing

    No one could clearly see what kind of behemoth it was falling from the sky. They only knew that the huge bird mecha just now didn't even let out a scream. The vital signs in the cockpit inside were just like the earth-shattering roar.

    Suddenly disappeared.

    "..."

    There was dead silence.

    Even the two sides of the Imperial Sect, who had just fought fiercely, were stunned.

    Sa——

    The strong wind smelling of gunpowder smoke blew away the dust and mist that had just exploded, revealing a large and familiar black and silver figure.

    The huge alloy giant squatted on Red Bird's body, his posture was very casual, and the latter was almost deformed and twisted into a piece of scrap metal at this moment.

    Click.

    The skeleton-like mechanical fingers were pulled out from Red Bird's heart, and the remains of the cockpit mixed with blood slipped from between the fingers.

    For the first time in three hundred years, the expressions of Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu were synchronized to the extreme, almost in a state of complete loss of reason.

    "...Forbidden Abyss?"

    Or to describe it accurately from the appearance, it is still just a wreck.

    - But he survived.

    Come alive.

    If there wasn't some sense left in his head, he almost thought he had traveled back in time. In the battle for the fall of the earth, Huo Chao did not die, but just like every previous battle...

    He always managed to escape from desperate situations and come back to them.

    Ye Shu was completely stunned and didn't even know when the tears fell.

    "No!!!"

    Cruzi almost roared in horror,

    "impossible

    boom

    Huo Xianfeng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly raised his hand and fired, instantly blowing Cruzi three hundred meters away.

    He waved casually

    "Hey, are you surprised, everyone?"

    Zhou Jiuya: "..."

    He was speechless at the moment.

    God knows how much effort it took him to hold Ye Shu down and prevent this guy from running over and hugging Jin Yuan and crying loudly.
