Chapter 64 The Empire's Succubus Arrives

After clearing out the giant wolf squadron, Lu Xiao did not stay in Huangshi City.

Twenty-six heavy motorcycles sped across the wilderness.

Lu Xiao lowered his body and rode at the front of the group.

"Company commander, don't you need to rest?"

Lei Zhan's voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, came through the communication channel.

"After that intense boarding maneuver, don't the brothers need a moment to catch their breath?"

"No time."

Lu Xiao's voice came through the metal helmet.

"Luoyang is on fire."

"Intelligence indicates that the main force of the Taotie is gathering in that direction. This time, they don't intend to play the occupation game; they want to completely wipe out that city."

Lu Xiao looked down at his goggles, which were displaying real-time data of the horizon ahead.

As a time traveler, he was well aware of the plot's direction.

Luoyang.

That ancient capital, along with its millions of inhabitants, was instantly reduced to scorched earth by the "fierce tide" of the Taotie army.

In the original script, Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin could only kneel by the ruins and watch the red light fall; that sense of powerlessness was enough to make one despair.

But he has arrived now.

"The aliens want to cut human cities off the map."

Lu Xiao's voice was very low, carrying a chilling aura.

"As long as I live, as long as the glory of the emperor still covers this land, these rotten things are not for those beasts to decide."

"Full speed ahead."

"Target: Luoyang. Crush everything that stands in our way."

"Yes! For the Emperor!"

The twenty-five Space Marines responded in unison.

The engine revs instantly climbed to the redline, and the convoy transformed into a deep blue torrent of steel, rapidly advancing across the land.

……

Two days later.

The outer defense line of Luoyang.

The dense explosions vibrated my eardrums.

Countless laser beams descended from the clouds, blasting open deep craters on the battlefield, billowing black smoke.

Ge Xiaolun wiped the blood from his face; his black armor was covered in scratches. He gripped his greatsword tightly.

"Master Xin! To the left! Another Taotie is creeping up from the left!"

Ge Xiaolun shouted in a hoarse voice.

"I saw it! Shut up!"

Zhao Xin burst out of cover like a blur, his spear piercing through two Taotie soldiers. But before he could even pull out his spear, a barrage of laser fire forced him to roll back into the mud.

"How come we can't kill all these bastards?!"

Zhao Xin spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and fiercely wiped the mud off his face.

"Xiao Lun, is there any movement?"

"It's all interference; there's nothing in my ears except static."

Ge Xiaolun leaned against the earthen wall, staring up at the sky. Several enormous cruciform warships hovered above the city, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

"We can't hold on any longer."

"The Taotie deployed three full fleets."

Zhi Xin observed the data on the terminal with a anxious tone.

"Their goal is simple: to destroy the defense system at any cost. And... there's an extremely strong energy reaction accumulating in the high altitude."

"What do you mean?" Ge Xiaolun's heart skipped a beat.

"It means..."

Zhi Xin suddenly looked up.

"They're about to use strategic weapons."

A bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.

The Taotie ground forces, which were originally launching a fierce attack, began to retreat rapidly, and the gunboats that were hovering at low altitudes also began to rise.

"Refunded?"

Zhao Xin poked his head out, looking completely bewildered.

"Are you scared of being beaten up?"

Something's not right...

Ge Xiaolun stood up, his "Galaxy Force" genetic instincts were frantically alarming.

"Look at the sky!"

At the edge of the atmosphere, a massive Taotie flagship slowly adjusted its angle.

Its abdominal armor slid open to the sides, revealing a huge cannon muzzle with a diameter of tens of meters.

Red light.

A blinding red light rapidly converged at the muzzle of the cannon.

The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this energy.

"It's a ferocious tide..."

Zhi Xin's voice changed tone.

"Antimatter energy strike. The scale of this attack is enough to flatten the entire city of Luoyang off the face of the earth."

"What?!"

Ge Xiaolun's eyes were brimming with tears.

"There are still millions of people in the city! And our troops..."

"Run! Run! Get everyone out of here!"

Zhao Xin roared into the communicator, but all that came out of the electronic device was a piercing shriek; the information couldn't be transmitted at all.

That's too late.

In the sky, the red light had expanded to its limit.

"No...this can't be..."

Ge Xiaolun desperately spread his black wings, wanting to fly up and use his body to block the light.

"quiet!"

He roared at the sky, attempting to activate his anti-void ability.

But the distance was too great; their abilities simply couldn't reach it.

The world suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson beam of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, pierced through the atmosphere and crashed down with an intent to destroy everything.

The clouds were instantly evaporated, and the terrifying heat wave carbonized the vegetation on the ground.

"It's over..."

Zhao Xin slumped down in the mud, his spear slipping to the ground.

Zhi Xin gripped Zhao Xin's hand tightly and closed her eyes.

Ge Xiaolun stared blankly at the beam of light, tears streaming down his face.

This is the fate of weak civilizations.

At the very moment when the red light was less than a kilometer from the ground.

A golden light.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the highway outside Luoyang City.

Lu Xiao stood in the middle of the road.

"Alien!"

Lu Xiao roared to the sky.

The sound exploded directly into the depths of everyone's soul.

He took off his helmet, and his eyes shone with pure golden light.

"Who dares to judge a human city before me?!"

Golden psionic energy surged into the sky like a tsunami, rapidly condensing in mid-air to form a gigantic, transparent golden hand that firmly held back the falling tide.

The red beam of destruction clashed violently with the golden psionic giant hand.

Space tremors, energy surges.

The raging tide that was supposed to destroy the city was actually stopped in mid-air by that giant hand.

"Get back inside!"

"For the Emperor!"

Lu Xiao let out a roar that shattered the heavens.

boom!

Jin Guang surged again.

The giant psionic hand clenched its fist and crushed the thick, ferocious beam of light.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light flowed upwards, transforming into a golden spear that pierced straight into the sky.

outer space.

The Taotie flagship, which was launching a ferocious attack, was instantly pierced by the golden spear.

High in the sky, the enormous warship rapidly melted and disintegrated under the golden light, eventually turning into cosmic dust.

Silence returned to the world.

Golden light slowly drifted down, landing on the wounded soldiers.

A miracle happened.

Those deep wounds that exposed bone began to heal, and the broken bones reconnected.

This feeling wasn't like medical treatment; it was more like a comfort from the depths of the soul, warm and peaceful.

"What...what is this...?"

Ge Xiaolun stared blankly as he reached out and caught a golden speck of light.

He felt his depleted physical strength instantly restored, and some kind of shackle deep in his genes loosened slightly under this force.

"Is my injury healed?"

Zhao Xin touched his chest in disbelief; where there used to be a charred scar, now the skin was smooth as ever.

Zhi Xin watched this scene in shock.

Is this the kind of energy the psionic power in the story?

All eyes were focused on the highway outside the city.

Twenty-six enormous figures were slowly approaching.

The leading giant was clad in deep blue armor, the golden double-headed eagle emblem on his breastplate gleaming brightly. Lingering arcs of psionic energy crackled around him, and the earth trembled with every step he took.

Behind him, twenty-five Space Marines stood in a wedge formation, their bomb guns and chainswords gleaming with a chilling light.

"That is..."

A young soldier rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling.

"Blue armor... a golden double-headed eagle... and that inverted symbol..."

"Holy crap..."

Zhao Xin suddenly jumped up.

"Xiao Lun! Look at that look! Look at that golden light!"

"It's Lu Xiao!"

Ge Xiaolun shouted.

"He's arrived with reinforcements!"

Lu Xiao led his team to the very front of the position.

He stopped and glanced at the soldiers around him, their faces covered in blood.
