On the surface of the dark horizon that slowly surged like a curtain, a continuous sheet of sparkling light suddenly appeared.
After a few seconds, Hao Ren realized that those flashing waves were actually the Night Watch troops composed of people in the starry sky.
Groups of fusiform or disk-shaped lights emerged from the surface of the horizon. Their scales ranged from hundreds of meters to hundreds of kilometers. Their sizes were vastly different, but the common point was that they all emitted
It glows with yellow-white light, and there are constant electric lights shining inside it, and there are multiple bright cores swimming in its depths. These are the people of the starry sky who are in a state of transfer. They have broken away from the starship form and transformed into a more primitive energy aggregation state.
In order to speed up the journey in the dark abyss, and thousands of people of the starry sky gather together in this form, the resulting scene can simply be described as spectacular.
It was a roaring ocean of light.
However, behind this ocean of light, there are still countless chaotic darkness chasing them.
"Attention, a large-scale crazy leak has been detected, and derivatives have been sighted... All weapons have been released from restrictions, and the range of -3 to -6 is locked!"
As the Night Watch troops left, the dark horizon began to roll violently like a boiling oil pot. Countless grotesque shadows detached from the surface of the curtain, quickly condensed into entities in space, and transformed into various forms that were astounding at a glance.
Some of the monsters that make the scalp numb are giants with countless limbs, some are pieces of flesh covered with large and small eyes, and some are even simply a cloud of smoke, with festering flesh and torn faces constantly spurting out from the smoke.
These blind and foolish derivatives clung to the direction in which the Night Watch troops were evacuating, and poured out in droves.
"Except for the Annihilation Spear, all turrets can fire freely!"
Hao Ren gave an order, and all the protective walls of the Watch Fortress immediately began to flow with water-like light. Hundreds of thousands of dazzling beams of light spanned the vast space and were shot towards the army of derivatives that were constantly coming in the distance.
While the Watch Fortress opened fire, the evacuated Night Watch troops also reacted at the same time. Even though it was the first time they were standing on the same battlefield, the two of them cooperated tacitly, as if they had practiced it countless times. Those large and small forces
The light clusters moved flexibly in space, dividing into dozens of "tributaries" that bypassed the main shooting path of the Watch Fortress, quickly gathered at the edge of the battlefield, and began to change forms.
The light group shrank violently and deformed, and the electric light crackled on its surface, just like the main body was revealed after the thick fog dissipated. The complex crystal structure protruded from the inside of the light mist. After just a few minutes, those things that originally looked like
The mist-like light groups turned into crystal fleets.
Its style is just like Asuman.
After a brief adjustment of position, the crystal battleships entered the best shooting position: their seemingly solidified crystal structures can actually change shapes at any time. Countless large and small crystal clusters "grow" from the surface of the battleship, and each one
The crystal clusters are extremely powerful laser turrets.
"All Night Watch troops have escaped from the Dark Abyss!" An ethereal voice very similar to Asuman came from the control tower communicator, "This is the Supreme Commander of the Night Watch, Atil, thanking the friendly forces for their assistance."
"Attil?" Leah asked curiously, "I remember that the commander of the Night Watch is..."
"Goddess, I'm glad to hear your voice again. Our commander was killed when the 'prisoners' broke through the middle defense line," Atil's voice sounded devoid of any emotion, "Thirds of the Night's Watch troops were lost.
What is left here is all."
"...I understand," Leah sighed softly, "Your brave sacrifice has bought us precious time, but it is not time to rest yet. The pollution power that has seeped out is constantly invading the real world. Please join us.
Cooperate to destroy them."
"This is the mission of the Night's Watch."
The crystal fleet of the people of the starry sky began to violently fight back against the chasing Crazy derivatives, and while the watch fortress turned on all the artillery, it also released the drone swarms in each nest, and the drone troops like swarms started from
Various vents poured out, facing the monster army that also had a huge number, and mixed in among those heavy armed drones, there were also a lot of new self-destructing bodies.
The self-destructing drone is a traditional model in the drone swarm, but its integration into the front-line troops is only a recent event. After counting a large number of battle reports on the dividing line of the dark abyss, Hao Ren discovered that the crazy derivatives emerging from the dark abyss
The body has higher combat effectiveness and offensive capabilities. In the face of these "elite cannon fodder", only the heavy armed drones can exert their usual combat effectiveness, while the light body can hardly survive the first round of attacks. Faced with this situation,
Hao Ren simply renovated all the light aircraft bodies, removed the weapon modules and magazine compartments, and stuffed them full of explosives...
Facts have proven that as a unit whose survival time on the battlefield is as short as minutes, the self-destructor can play a much stronger role than the traditional light combat model. After all, the latter can hardly be destroyed after firing a few shots, while the former can be destroyed at any time.
A bo took away dozens of heads... including his own, of course.
Standing on the upper viewing platform of the control tower, Leah looked expressionlessly at the universe filled with artillery fire outside. Those ugly monsters were wiped out in pieces at least a million kilometers away from the fortress, but she could still see clearly
She could see every detail of those monsters. She shook her head slightly: "There are almost no normal substances in the dark abyss. These flesh and blood monsters actually all come from nightmares, and... they are all 'new models'."
"New model?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"The crazy derivatives that originally appeared in the dark abyss would not have so many forms and various attack methods. They are usually just a cloud of chaotic smoke, with monotonous attack methods and much easier to deal with," Leah shook her head.
Shaking his head, "But these... they obviously come from clear nightmares, which are more complex, more changeable, and more cunning. Such monsters with exact shapes usually appear in civilized settlements with mental responses, and here..."
Hao Ren frowned: "Did the Goddess of Destruction create them?"
"The Goddess of Destruction and I once had one mind," Leah nodded lightly, "and I am connected to almost 90% of the minds of the entire universe, including those of mortals, as well as those of the demigods I created.
Dreams and nightmares will be shared with me... and naturally they will be shared with the Goddess of Destruction. What you see before you are the monsters that have appeared in the nightmares of all intelligent beings in this universe in the past tens of millions of years.
.”
In the entire universe, for tens of millions of years, how many creatures have dreamed, and how many terrifying monsters have appeared in their dreams? Hao Ren even felt his scalp numb when he thought of the number behind these few sentences.
.
Vivian couldn't help but sigh softly: "In the dream plane... dreaming is really a high-risk thing."
The voice from the sentry interrupted their sigh: "The intensity of the crazy response is decreasing, and the horizon is beginning to recover."
The monsters that emerged from the dark abyss were finally suppressed, and no new monsters appeared. The limited number of derivatives on the battlefield were constantly being reduced by artillery fire and the onslaught of drones.
The Lord of Madness or the Goddess of Destruction has not completely broken free. Its body is still suppressed by the last layer of barrier. Those who pursue the Night Watch troops are just the "shadow" of Madness' power in the border area. Therefore, their number
Nature is limited. After a brief but fierce exchange of fire, the battlefield finally calmed down.
"Huh... I thought I was going to use the Annihilation Spear," Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the "horizon" in the distance gradually calm down, "The last wave of counterattack was really exciting."
Leah was also quietly looking at the "horizon" in the distance, but the expression on her face was not as relaxed as Hao Ren's. Her little brows frowned: "The horizon is calming down more and more slowly...
…The Lord of Madness is struggling very hard.”
Atil's voice came from the communicator: "Since a long time ago, the prisoners' reaction has been obviously abnormal. In recent years, it has changed the most. The collapse of the inner defense line began at that time."
A streamlined crystal warship broke away from the formation of the people of the starry sky and slowly moved towards the drone control tower. The drone group established a data link with the starship of the people of the starry sky. After completing the safety certification, a connection channel opened from
It poked out of the control tower and was connected to an opening in the belly of the crystal battleship.
Ten minutes later, the entrance to the upper viewing platform of the control tower opened, and a crystal floating in mid-air entered the room. The crystal had a similar shape and texture to Asuman, and it also contained a nebula-like light inside.
, but the shining nodes in the nebula's light are obviously different from Asuman. This is probably the mark that distinguishes the people of the starry sky from each other?
The crystal that floated in was the commander of the Night Watch, Atil.
"How many years has it been..." Leah came to the crystal, her tone full of emotion, "Attil... I still remember how you volunteered to guard the inner defense line... I didn't expect that we would still
One day we will meet again."
"We heard the news of your death, but we have always believed that you will return eventually," Atil's voice was as sweet as a wind chime. "It's a pity that not all tribesmen can see this scene."
"The entire universe will remember their sacrifices. Every victim must be remembered," Leah said firmly, "but only if our world can survive this test."
As she said that, she stepped aside slightly, and Hao Ren walked up to Atil: "Hello, I am the supreme commander of this drone army and the observer of this universe. You can call me Hao Ren.
"
"We heard your name in the whispers among the stars, observer," the light on Atil's surface flickered, which was probably a courtesy, "Asuman told us about your deeds, you were in the Dream Plane
What he did was great.”
"It's just within the responsibilities," Hao Ren nodded slightly, "Now, tell us about the things in the dark abyss."
(I recommend a book, "The Red Emperor of the Three Kingdoms". It is not the same type as the books I have recommended before, but it has good imagination and writing style. If you are more interested in historical time travel and are not so serious about rigor, you can read it.
