"Sorry." Xia Lin took a deep breath, looked directly at the other party and replied.

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to push the other person away, but Yishut kept his original posture, watching him quietly, his eyes gradually became darker.

In the end, Yixiute seemed to have exhausted all his strength and said, "If at that time... If I hadn't attacked Moz, would we still have a chance?"

The air stagnated for a moment.

After a long time, Xia Lin raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Yixiut, "At that time, you didn't know my mission and identity, so don't worry about it."

He pushed Yixiut away, turned his back to pick up the treatment suit, but continued: "We ended 18 years ago, I spared your life to give you a new start, don't stay any longer In the past, otherwise you will only destroy yourself."

Yixiute stood behind him, and suddenly said, "What if I am willing to be destroyed by you?"

Holding the clothes, Xia Lin froze suddenly.

A flash of determination flashed in Yixiute's eyes, just as he was about to make the next move, a short blade suddenly touched the back of his head.

A drop of blood oozed from the tip of the blade and flowed down the back of his neck. Yixiute's throat tightened, and he turned around very slowly.

The person standing behind had no expression on his face, the sharp blade in his hand pressed against Yixiute's throat, and his golden eyes were without any warmth.

When his eyes fell on the short blade, the temperature in Yixiute's eyes also dropped rapidly. He pinched the tip of the blade, and raised the corners of his mouth dangerously and slowly: "Your life is pretty big, and it's still like that! can wake up."

The regret in Yixiut's tone was not concealed at all, but Atres didn't answer his words, but just clenched the dagger even more, and the treatment room suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.

"Atres?" Xia Lin's face immediately collapsed, "What are you doing here?"

Atres' eyelids moved, and he replied: "Stop you, flirting with women."

"What are you talking about..." Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then coughed twice, "Ahem, cough, what are you talking about? How could I flirt with women?"

Turning his head and seeing Yixiute, he immediately pulled someone to clarify, "Nothing happened to us, right?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds, "It seems like nothing happened."

"Huh?" Xia Lin suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yixiute seemed to be lost in memory, "I was about to leave just now, but you suddenly blocked the door and took off your clothes, and asked me to stay for a while."

"Please... don't spread rumors." Xia Lin suddenly had the urge to beat up her ex-boyfriend.

"Which one of my words is a lie?" Yixiute looked at him intently.

Atreus also looked at Xia Lin, his golden eyes unblinking.

Xia Lin looked down at his half-taken-off clothes, sweat dripped from his forehead, "There must be some kind of misunderstanding here."

"Oh, I misunderstood." Atres turned the short blade in his hand, the blade was glowing coldly.

Yixiute glanced at the two of them, and suddenly chuckled.

He walked over, put his hand on Xia Lin's shoulder, and stroked the hair on the side of Xia Lin's neck, "I won't delay your treatment, I'll go first, you guys continue."

After saying this, Yixiut's face returned to coldness, and when he passed by Atres, he suddenly said, "If he hadn't chosen to stand with you, I wouldn't have lost. I lost to It's him, not you."

The door closed behind Yixiut, leaving only Xia Lin and Atres staring at each other in the treatment room.

"Listen to my explanation." Xia Lin let out a "scumbag" dying cry.

"No explanation needed."

Atres put away his dagger, "I don't need any explanation, I will believe you anyway."

Xia Lin was taken aback.

"I don't believe you, should I believe him?" Atreus frowned.

That makes perfect sense!

Xia Lin just wanted to praise the other party, but Atres changed the topic, "But I always feel very uncomfortable if I don't do something."

As he spoke, he approached Xia Lin, his face getting closer enough that he could feel each other's breathing, his indifferent eyes narrowed, which looked extraordinarily sharp and dangerous in the backlight.

An electronic clock on the opposite wall ticked away.

"I said..." Xia Lin grasped the head buried in her neck with some difficulty, "This is a public place, what if someone comes in?"

What is wrong with it?Every time I pick this kind of strange occasion...

Atres raised his head, his golden eyes flashed silently.

"Then go to the treatment cabin."

Wait, treatment cabin?Even more strange!

The space of the treatment cabin is not too small, and it is only a little crowded for two people to stand in.

Xia Lin took off the clothes and piled them on the shelf on the roof of the cabin, and instructed Atreus to do the same.Several sprays of disinfectant mist sprayed out from everywhere, and then several hoses hung down from the roof of the cabin, and began to fill the cabin with liquid medicine.

Soon, the parts below the necks of the two were soaked in the blue liquid medicine.

Xia Lin looked down at his body. The originally cracked wound began to heal under the soaking of the medicinal liquid, and the blood scab formed and fell off, leaving only a pale moon-white scar.

At this moment, Atreus suddenly moved from the blue potion to behind him.

"Behave yourself, don't make small moves." Xia Lin warned.

Atres rested his chin on Xia Lin's shoulder, and ran his hands along Xia Lin's back, "Remove this scar."

"Ok?"

"I don't like that guy's marks on you."

"..."

Please don't say such misleading words, what is the mark left by that guy, isn't this just an ordinary and simple scar? !

"You can only have traces of me on your body." Atres said, he lowered his head and bit the back of his neck.

This little bastard, ever since he was bitten on the back of the neck, wanted to get revenge over and over again.

Xia Lin stretched out his elbow to push him away, but his body suddenly tensed up. This time Atreus found the right position, and the feeling of pheromone injection made his body tremble involuntarily.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Atres has already turned on the deep repair mode of the treatment cabin with mental power.

A new hose hung down from the top of the treatment cabin, and began to inject advanced potions for softening and repairing scars into the medical solution.

The scars on his back began to feel itchy and hot. Xia Lin was surrounded by Atreus in a small space from behind, and gradually felt a little bad.

Exhausted from the treatment cabin, Xia Lin took Atres back to his lounge.

This lounge is several times larger than other rooms on the starship, with a large bed, sofa, and separate bathroom, enough to accommodate another roommate.

The first thing Xia Lin did after entering the room was to take out the fish that had made great contributions to this operation from his pocket, and rewarded him with a pack of beef jerky.Atres poured himself a glass of strawberry juice, sat down on the sofa with his legs apart, and looked at the ugly four-legged fish in Xia Lin's hand strangely.

Xia Lin took care of everything, sat across from Atreis, and briefly talked about what happened during this period.

Atres took a sip of his juice, "So I'm going to call you His Majesty the Emperor now?" His eyebrows twitched, "I always feel a little short of you, a bit uncomfortable."

"If you are not satisfied, I can give you this seat when the war is over."

Atreus didn't care much, "Forget it, I didn't like to be restricted by that seat, it was only because of you that I wanted to be emperor, and now it's actually better."

He leaned back on the sofa with big thorns, lifted the poor fish up to look at it, and then raised his head and glanced at Xia Lin, "If you want, you can give me some other seat, it's better to be free, and I'm better than you." A higher level, for example——" After thinking for a while, "The Supreme Emperor?"

Still too emperor?What do you want to take advantage of?Xia Lin slashed Atres severely.

He sat back across from Atres, pondered for a moment and said: "There was a period of darkness and chaos in the history of the empire. The emperor of Diluo that the people hope for, and behind the emperor, there is also the emperor of darkness who lives in the shadows and is in charge of violence and punishment."

"The emperor in the shadows is very mysterious. He has no name or image left. According to legend, he is the twin brother of the Holy Emperor Diluo. He bloodbathed the underground world of the empire, sent funeral bells for criminals and rebels, and cleared the world. Suppress heresy, quell chaos, help Emperor Diluo lead the empire out of the dark and ignorant period when it first entered the universe, and opened the prosperous age of the empire to conquer the universe. Behind the curtain of the golden throne of the palace, there is still the black he left behind. Throne of Thorns."

"Sitting on the throne, you will automatically become the supreme leader of all violent institutions in the empire, and even have the right to execute judgments and punishments on the unethical emperor. He is the reflection of light, equal to the emperor, and also the emperor's closest helper. But There is a powerful spiritual force field around the throne, and one can only sit on that seat after undergoing extremely harsh and cruel soul trials. In the past ten thousand years, no one has succeeded."

After speaking, Xia Lin looked at Atreis, "Do you want to challenge?"

"The reflection of light?" Atreus chewed the word, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "I think it's good."

On the day of the winter solstice in 12345 in the imperial calendar, the empire's rear fleet finally arrived at the dark corridor outside the Death Star belt.

The day before the official start of the war, Xia Lin convened the generals to hold the last pre-war meeting on the Mountain. In this meeting, Atres entered the public for the first time as the secret weapon of the royal family and the bloodline inheritor of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor. vision.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the dark and gloomy Death Star belt, suddenly, as if being swept by a spotlight, one star after another was lit up, and tens of thousands of space battleships descended from the void to the battlefield, and the continuous artillery fire started the war prologue.

Atres took over the command of Horen and sat next to Xia Lin as the commander of the Imperial Coalition Forces.

With the help of super mental power, every subtle change on the battlefield is controlled by him, and all combat units operate at a high speed with amazing tacit understanding. Both the own side and the enemy have become marionettes in his hands. Follow his will to complete this war game.

The first battle lasted for a full month and a half. He used the name "Atres" for the first time, bringing blood and nightmares to the Knights of Radiance, and became a magnificent demon that frightened the Knights of Radiance.

The first to fall was the starry sky fortress and mobile fortress in the outermost perimeter of the defense circle, which were in charge of the three super-large knights, the Rock Knights, the Raging Knights, and the Giant Elephant Knights.The City of Glory immediately sent reinforcements from the rear, but when the angry knights bombarded the "warships" of the empire that had not yet left, they were shocked to find that these spaceships were all empty shells.

And while the knights were rushing out, a surprise fleet with 28 light warships suddenly appeared behind the defense line of the fortress, blowing up all the material fortresses from the first to the eighth sector of the Death Star, At the same time, an assault fleet composed of [-] heavy warships surrounded the Knights from the front.The Knights, who had lost their retreat and supplies, were forced to split into [-] groups and break out in all directions, but what greeted them was continuous bombing.

After dragging down the main force of the Knights' reinforcements, two star cruiser fleets with [-] destroyers each bypassed the main battlefield, entered the rear of the defense line from both wings, and fought fiercely with the knights who were constantly coming for reinforcements in the star belt on the side and back. The fighter plane flew out from the battleship, the flames engulfed the area, and all the fortresses of the Knights were destroyed.

Then countless mechas launched a siege to the knights who slipped through the net. From time to time, clusters of flames exploded in the space. Broken armors and weapons floated all over the space, obscuring the sight, so that the imperial army had to send out Hundreds of sweeping ships went to clean up the battlefield to avoid affecting the progress of one's own warships.

As the battle progressed, the battlefield gradually moved from the periphery of the Death Star belt to the central area where planets were rarer.

In this empty area, Hart laid a trap, using 250 million knight followers and low-level civilians as cannon fodder, disguising them as high-level knights, trying to trick the imperial army into exhausting their energy, and then launching an ambush in the No.15 star area The main knight group behind the gray domain launched a strong attack.However, Xia Lin followed his plan and used a large number of flash cannons that had been prepared to attack. This kind of cannon was only B-level, but its momentum was comparable to that of S-level energy cannons. It made Hart think that he had succeeded. When it emerged from the ground, it was sniped by unprecedented powerful artillery fire.

The strongest three large knights escorted Hart out of the siege of the imperial warships, but they were greeted by trigger-type electromagnetic bombs densely scattered in the dark star field.When the Imperial battleship and the Knights were in close combat, more than 1000 stealth-painted fighter planes flew out from the bottom of the Mountain, silently dropping hundreds of thousands of trigger bombs into this cosmic space.

The light in the Death Star belt was dim, and the knights who were being chased and intercepted were so tired that they had no time to distinguish the fatal obstacles on the route. Groups of flames lit up in the dark universe, and the star fortresses of the Knights disintegrated one by one. In the end, only 5 Thousands of people escorted Hart, relying on the life-saving mobile fortress, and fled to a nearby subspace passage.

But Xia Lin has already led Su Yu to guard here. Su Yu's Candle Dragon Troop is a special combat unit with large-scale battlefield environment control devices. Their mothership unfolds like a cosmic train, enclosing the entire battle area in a ring shape. Inside, a powerful energy field formed within the ring, and the day and night and temperature in the battlefield suddenly changed sharply. As a result, a large number of mounted beasts became physiologically disordered, lost control, and even began to attack their own knights.

While Su Yu's troops restrained the knights, Xia Lin's mecha faced Hart.Facing this "old friend", Xia Lin had no interest in reminiscing about the past, and fought him in the chaotic vortex near the subspace without saying a word.Atres' mental power was betting on Xia Lin through the newly erected short-distance interstellar network. With a large amount of information blessing and calculation assistance, Xia Lin cut Hart off with almost no effort.

In the City of Glory, Lal sits on the Throne of Dark Light, and in front of him is a flowing light curtain, showing everything on the cosmic battlefield in real time.

"You played beautifully, didn't you? As expected of that man's son." Lal said ambiguously.

The head wizard standing beside him opened his purple eyes and frowned deeply, "The death toll on our side has reached 350 million, don't you want to stop it?"

"Stop what? Let's kill those wastes. Some blood needs to be let go, so that Glory City can usher in a new life."

Lal stroked the big knife in his arms indifferently, "But this is their last carnival, and the next thing that greets them is the taste of destruction in hope!"

After the commander was killed, the remaining members of the Knights only resisted mechanically for ten days before being quickly defeated.Atres did not leave half a prisoner. In this hundred-day National Games competition, kindness is not allowed to exist. Xia Lin acquiesced in his behavior. The absolutely cold and cruel golden back at the time of execution deeply impressed him. In everyone's heart.

Since then, Hart's outlying 500 million fortress knights have been defeated across the board.

At this time, the Hundred Days War was halfway through, and the death rate of the outer defense team of the Radiant Knights was as high as [-]%, while the battle loss rate of the Empire's side was only [-]%.

"There is only the last line of defense left." In the command room of the Mountain, Xia Lin looked at the picture on the screen.

The City of Glory at this moment is completely different from the time they arrived the previous time. Outside the huge shuttle-shaped star, a total of 660 four mobile fortresses formed a large net in the universe to protect it.

The defense net is composed of countless triangular grids, and each node in the grid forms a new figure with six adjacent nodes, which is endless and endless.

On the screen, several silver fighter planes flew towards the defense net and launched a tentative attack, but the light of the energy cannon only flickered on the defense net for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

"This is the six-block starry sky defense array of Glory City. Judging from the feedback screen, no matter which fortress we attack, the six nearby defense points can provide support at the fastest speed, and the attack encountered will be supported by seven at the same time. defense points to share."

After thinking for a while, he circled a few points on the screen and gave an order, "The key to breaking the formation should be in these places. Horan, you lead the New Far Eastern Army and the Blue Field United Star Defense Force to bombard these places with concentrated energy weapons." The fortress, create an opportunity for the night owl troops to land in the fortress, and find a way to kill the wizard."

After finishing speaking, he glanced around the crowd and smiled, "Break through this line of defense, and the city of glory is ahead. I hope you will not relax."

Huo Lun led away, Xia Lin sat back in his seat and continued to watch the situation on the screen.

Twenty thousand air-breaking warships quickly approached the defensive net in a V shape. They quickly adjusted to a semi-arc to surround the defensive net outside the attack range of the mobile fortress. Then densely packed turrets opened on the hull, and the charging ring The light is flickering, ready to go.

"No." Atres suddenly said beside him.

Xia Lin became vigilant, "What did you find?"

"No, it's just intuition." Atres stood up and sat in the spiritual power control cabin of the command platform. Several spiritual power sensing wires were connected to his scalp, and powerful fluctuations spread along the wires throughout the starship, and then Spread to the universe through the psychic power amplifier.

Then he stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "The whole army retreats!"

However, it was too late, a powerful wave suddenly swayed from the City of Glory like a water wave, passing over the cosmic space where they were fighting.

Theoretically, sound cannot be transmitted in the universe, but everyone "heard" an extremely terrifying sound, like some kind of announcement.

A sign of uneasiness enveloped the battlefield, and people as powerful as Xia Lin and the others even felt their scalps tingling.

Immediately after the war started, they were shocked to find that the energy weapons on both the battleship and the mecha suddenly lost their effect.

The energy ring at the muzzle flickered, but it was still unable to complete the energy gathering. At the same time, the formation of the defense network facing them changed.

The hundreds of nodes forming the sides of the hexagon in the defensive net began to gather inwards, while the central point collapsed and coincided with it, and then like a bowstring shooting, black points emerged from the center of the nodes one by one, Pull out a dark straight line, cut through the lightless universe, and silently cut the thousands of starships in the front row in half.

In the Mountain, everyone stood up together, "What happened?"

"How could this be?" Someone murmured in disbelief.

Xia Lin stared at that scene, her face became extremely ugly.

At the same time, in the City of Glory, Lal frowned as he watched the imperial army suddenly stagnant in the peeping formation.

"Do you know what that is?" Atres asked in the command room of the Mountain.

"Energy lock..." Xia Lin pronounced these three words with some difficulty.

When he visited the Glory King City, he heard the priest mention the energy lock, but according to the priest, this thing only stayed in the imagination of the wizards, and there was no feasible theory at all. He never thought that it had already been made.

No wonder Lal so confidently proposed a decisive battle.

"All combat units using energy weapons retreat quickly, and the mechs that are good at physical combat are on top of the front line. Be sure to hold the defense line, and don't give them a chance to counterattack." Xia Lin quickly issued an order.

The generals retreated under the orders, Xia Lin continued to stare at the screen, but his eyes became more and more serious.

On the screen, the knights began to drive the starry sky fortress to attack the imperial army that had not yet fully retreated. After losing their energy weapons, the battleships in front began to retreat steadily. Some mechas flew out of the battleships and wrestled with the knights descending from the starry sky fortress. , but couldn't resist their swift attack at all, and the space began to be filled with fragments of battleships and mechas visible to the naked eye.

The dense starry sky fortress moved to the rear of the battleship unknowingly, blasting the defense of the battleship, the knights surrounded the battleships like locusts, got in and massacred the crew on board, and were within the range of the energy lock. Tens of thousands of air-breaking warships were unable to make an effective breakthrough at all, and completely became a turtle in an urn.

The flames of war are raging on the screen, the red frame at the bottom right of the screen flickers rapidly, and the numbers of people who have lost contact and confirmed dead are refreshed at an astonishing speed.

Fortunately, [-] frigates rushed into the battlefield at lightning speed, and the hull spread out in all directions in the universe, forming a steel wall to block in front of the Starry Sky Fortress. The knights fought, while waiting for an opportunity to use the mech crossbow to shoot down the Starry Sky Fortress.

On the Mountain, the number of casualties displayed on the big screen finally began to stabilize.

In front of the main console, hundreds of operators are nervously processing messages and requests from all parties. The entire command room is extremely busy and quiet, only short electronic sounds and the buzz of starship intelligent system calculations can be heard. Voice.

Atres sat in front of the podium and began to guide the warship to retreat to the safe zone, while Xia Lin fell into meditation.

The most powerful weapons of the empire are all kinds of energy cannons, but within the range of the energy lock, no matter whether it is an electromagnetic cannon or a nuclear cannon, they cannot complete the energy gathering, not to mention continuing to attack, self-protection is a problem.

Although they temporarily blocked the attack of the Radiance Knights, the opponent would definitely not let them go. It was conceivable that there would be an unprecedented assault in the future, and the battle seemed to be in a deadlock.

"No...the energy lock must have limitations, and there must be a way to break it."

Xia Lin leaned back on the chair, rubbed her temples, "What should I do?"

At this moment, Yixiute suddenly approached from behind, "I have something to tell you."

"It's about energy locks."

Xia Lin's expression became serious, "Speak."
