Maya suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to negotiate with the enemy coming from behind.

"You are so stupid! Even if we kill you, these properties will belong to us!"

[Mithril Star Chamber of Commerce] The thief disguised as the guard captain sneered, and then led his team to continue to surround them, obviously not wanting to give them a chance to live!

At the same time, thieves disguised as guards from the Red Flame and Rose Chamber of Commerce also appeared from behind the giant tree blocking the road ahead.

In the fir forests on both sides of the road, guards from the Eternal Night Emerald Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Coin Chamber of Commerce have blocked the last escape route.

This made Maya and Mary very anxious, and they were running around like ants on a hot pan.

The attacking enemies were all well-equipped, unlike ordinary thieves, and were completely beyond the ability of the caravan's guards to deal with.

The key is that there are enemies on all sides, and it is impossible to escape!

However, what neither the robber nor the robbed knew was that the outcome of this encounter was not determined by any of them.

In orbit 550 kilometers overhead, six space fortresses were passing at 7.8 kilometers per second, fine-tuning their angles. The other 30 fortresses didn't have a suitable firing angle, either on the back of the planet or too tilted and blocked by the mountains.

However, to deal with such a small number of enemies, only one space fortress is enough.

Although the space fortress is larger than the space station on the blue planet, when looking up from the ground, even with the help of magic to enhance vision, one can only see a slightly bright star.

Only by looking closely can you see this honeycomb structure composed of twelve hexagonal modules.

The surface of each cabin is polished to be as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling halo under the sunlight, like a crystal chandelier suspended in a vacuum.

Rather than a military fortress, it is more like a sophisticated work of art of killing.

Six alloy skeletons extend from the central command module, at the end of which hang laser focusing towers that can rotate 360 ​​degrees. These eyes of death are constructed from artificial gem crystals, and their core temperature can reach seven times that of the sun's core when excited.

In the interlayer of the honeycomb structure, three hundred hydrogen bombs code-named "Comets" are sleeping in the magnetic levitation launch silos. The designed explosive equivalent of each warhead is equivalent to 500 million tons of TNT.

Of course, in order to avoid accidentally harming the [Mary Chamber of Commerce] caravan, hydrogen bombs cannot be used this time.

Following Chen Ming's instructions, [Crimson] remotely controlled the space fortress and slowly opened the ceramic cover of the laser focusing tower.

When the laser array operates at full power, the silicon carbide coating of the reactor shell emits an eerie blue-purple light, which is the Cherenkov radiation stimulated by the leaked neutron flow on the surface of the material.

As six blue-purple stars lit up in orbit, the Grim Reaper had prepared a shadowless funeral for the incoming enemy.

The first lucky person to enjoy the attack of the space-based firepower network is a knight with a fierce face!

He ran the fastest and instantly became the most eye-catching guy in the whole audience!

This was a dazzling sight in the physical sense - a purple beam of light with a diameter of 30 meters and a temperature of up to 5000 degrees Celsius instantly enveloped him!

No matter whether it was the people from [Mary Chamber of Commerce], or the people from [Mithril Star Track Chamber of Commerce], [Red Flame and Rose Chamber of Commerce], [Eternal Night Emerald Chamber of Commerce], and [Trade Coin Chamber of Commerce], all turned their eyes to this Liangzi!

It was clearly daytime, but the surroundings suddenly became dark. This was an illusion caused by the violent contraction of the pupils.

And that purple beam of light, like the sun of the underworld, was filled with the breath of destruction and death.

Within the range of the light column, all combustible materials began to burn, and even the steel armor melted like a piece of candy, turning into a funny pool of metal liquid.

The Liangzi who was wrapped in the steel armor had turned into carbon crystals at this moment. The high temperature of thousands of degrees made every part of his body vaporized, and the high temperature also turned his clothes and shoes into ashes.

The purple beam of light only appeared for a few seconds before disappearing, but both parties at the scene remained there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

The robbers didn't dare to attack again, and the robbed forgot to escape - because everyone in World No. 1 knew that the goddess really existed!

This kind of light beam attack from the sky is so easily reminiscent of divine punishment.

After all, apart from the goddess, who else can attack from the sky?

At this moment, an A-101 drone dropped from the sky and hovered in front of Maya.

Chen Ming's lazy voice rang out from the speaker above: "President Maya, I see that you seem to have encountered a [Fatal Crisis]. Do you need help?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "fatal crisis".

Chapter 94: Super Powerful Yet Overly Cautious

Chen Ming had already arrived at the scene in a Kun fighter jet, and the blush on Ai Lixi's face, who was sitting in his arms, had not yet faded.

However, for safety reasons, he did not fly directly over the battlefield.

Instead, he steadily ordered [Crimson] to hover the Kun fighter behind a distant mountain, using the mountain as cover.

Then a team of drones was sent over to communicate with Maya.

Anyway, with the firepower of the space fortress, there is no need for him to fight in person. It won't be too late to come back and repay the favor after the battle.

As an excellent businessman, Maya remembers the characteristics of every major customer very clearly - especially customers like Chen Ming who are stupid and have a lot of money, he has a particularly deep impression of them.

So when Maya heard Chen Ming's voice, she recognized him and pleaded excitedly, "Mr. Chen? Of course I need your help! But the goddess's divine punishment just appeared here. Please don't come over yet. We can try to break out of this area... You can just meet us from a distance."

"Don't panic. I summoned the divine punishment just now... You're not a bad person, but your vision is too narrow. If you hadn't said those two heartfelt words, I would have charged for my divine punishment. Okay, it's settled!"

Chen Ming's voice rang out from the A-101's loudspeaker: "Crimson, annihilate them!"

Following his order, in the silent space 550 kilometers above the earth's surface, six killing weapons from the technological side opened their eyes again and looked at this world of swords and magic!

The four groups of thieves, played by the guards of the Chamber of Commerce, were frightened by the beam of light that seemed to be the goddess's punishment for more than ten seconds. Some of them even knelt down and repented directly because they had done too many bad things and felt guilty!

After all, they often pretend to be bandits and rob and kill people. These days, they are even more intent on creating orphans, deliberately killing civilians and then taking their children into orphanages to receive welfare benefits...

Their sins are innumerable, so it is understandable that they are now being punished by the goddess.

Of course, not everyone has the heart to repent!

For example, Bartolome, the chief guard of the Mithril Star Chamber of Commerce, quickly recovered from his awe and fear of the goddess's punishment.

The beam of light just now only appeared for a few seconds before disappearing because Chen Ming needed time to negotiate and let Maya take the initiative to ask for help.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "If you chase someone, it's not a good deal!"

But this made Bartolomé doubtful—was that pillar of light truly divine punishment, or was it simply a magician's exhaustion casting a spell?

To boost morale, he rode on a tall horse, strengthened his body with magic, then drew his sword, pointed it at the sky, and roared loudly:

"Who's playing tricks there? Do you dare to show up and fight me in a fair fight?"

However, the next moment, a crisis warning that exceeded the limits of human perception suddenly penetrated the spinal cord.

The captain of the guard, who had experienced twenty-seven bloody battles, instinctively swung his sword at the source of danger - a very good combat awareness, but all this resistance was in vain!

Because the enemies he faced were the six stars that suddenly lit up in the sky!

The midday sun seemed to dim for a moment, and in a thousandth of a second the clouds vaporized into six perfectly circular holes.

A pure white light somewhere between sacred and profane was crashing down along the scale that the gods used to measure the world.

And then nothing happened. Bartolomé lost consciousness instantly and died without any pain.

The people around witnessed this miraculous scene firsthand: the moment Bartolomé raised his sword to the sky, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie darkness, as if the Creator had suddenly dimmed the world's brightness. Only from Bartolomé's position did a beam of light burst forth, more piercing than the midday sun, its edges shimmering with an eerie purple halo due to atmospheric ionization.

"Zizzizi..."

Six swords of judgment from the nine stars in the sky were precisely superimposed on each other, covering a circular area with a radius of fifteen meters.

The first thing to melt was the tip of the sword. The sword, which had been tempered for thousands of times, fell like candle wax under the high temperature of 3 degrees Celsius. The dripping liquid metal evaporated into indigo smoke in the air before it touched the ground.

The tall and majestic warhorse had no time to let out a howl as the burning skeleton revealed a charred skeleton in the strong light, and then it and the knight on its back collapsed into a glowing outline.

Bartolomé's retinas carbonized in a fraction of a second, which was a kind of mercy—he didn't have to watch his fingers ooze out of the armor's cracks like hot wax. The composite armor, crafted from black steel, became a death furnace. Liquid metal flowed along the armor's lines, only to be vaporized again by the constant heat before hitting the ground.

When the six beams of light lasted until the second second, the knight's body had become strangely transparent, and his carbonized bones looked like a work of art carved from black crystal in the strong light.

The next moment, six beams of light suddenly spread out and swept in all directions!

“Buzz—Shua—!”

When the people around heard the sound of the air being ionized getting louder, it was too late to escape!

Because the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound.

Everything was fine one second, but the next second everything went white and I knew nothing.

Six beams of light with a diameter of 30 meters began to sweep away the thieves disguised as the four Chamber of Commerce guards like sweeping the floor.

Even if the enemy kneels down and begs for mercy and repents, [Crimson] will wipe them out without discrimination.

After all, the other party did not repent because he knew he was wrong, but only because he knew he was going to die!

And those enemies who were fleeing in all directions had no way to escape - the giant beam of light that was 550 kilometers long, if deflected a little bit, would pass by a distance that would take them half a day to ride on horseback!

Every enemy caught up by the beam of light, regardless of the quality of the clothes they wore, was transformed into a coat of fire, wrapping their skin and hair and burning them together.

At this moment, the gap between rich and poor was easily erased, because death came to everyone equally.

This is what a real battlefield is like, more cruel than anything described in film or television.

Soon, the battlefield fell into a terrifying silence.

After the beam of light dissipated, only thirty-meter-wide glazed roads remained on the ground. The boiling silicate magma surged like molten jade. The areas first illuminated by the light were gradually cooling and solidifying...

Of the four aggressive guild guards, only half-melted metal swords remained, stuck in the crystallized soil, with plasma sparks still dancing on the blades.

Behind the mountain several kilometers away, Chen Ming, sitting in the cockpit of a Kun fighter, watched the battlefield live broadcast and battle report sent by [Crimson].

Detailed data of this ground attack was flashing on the big screen: the duration was 12 seconds, and the total energy output of the six space fortresses was equivalent to one-third of the Hiroshima atomic bomb!

Chen Ming suddenly noticed that in the initial live broadcast, the carbonized human figure seemed to maintain an unyielding posture with the sword pointing to the sky.

What a... heroic way to die. Even at the last moment of his life, he still had the courage to defy the heavens and defeat the gods!

Chen Ming sighed inwardly.

It’s a pity that we don’t know the name of this hero, otherwise we could erect a tombstone for him on the spot with a QR code printed on it. By scanning the code, we can see the last heroic scene of this hero!

Maybe it will become a famous tourist attraction in a few hundred years.

After sighing, he marked the combat record of this time as [The first actual combat data collection of space-based firepower network] and asked [Crimson] to record it.

This is just a trial. Once the space-based firepower network is fully built, there will be 99 space fortresses operating quietly in orbit, like the sword of Damocles hanging over the magical world.

The guards and coachmen of [Mary Chamber of Commerce] stood still, their pupils flickering violently - although they were rescued, at this moment, they were trembling with the most primitive fear!

Although Maya, the president, was also shocked, he was only surprised at Chen Ming's strength and did not feel much fear.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! These light pillars are really summoned by Mr. Chen!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen for saving my life!"

Mary was more sensible. She bent down and bowed to express her gratitude towards the A-101 drone floating in front of her. She thought it was Chen Ming's magical tool, the kind that could be used for remote communication.

Seeing how calm President Maya and Mary were, and hearing their words, the guards and coachmen of the [Mary Chamber of Commerce] slowly recovered from their state of fear.

Only then did they confirm that the divine punishment that had just fallen from the sky was indeed from friendly forces!

Suddenly, everyone's face showed excitement, immersed in the joy of escaping death, and there was no time to figure out who brought down this divine punishment.

Even the strange smell of meat that permeated the air was unnoticed. Although the Space Fortress's laser weapons were very clean, scattering even the ashes of the killed enemies, leaving no bloody mess to make the cleanup crew feel nauseous or uncomfortable, there was still a strange smell of barbecue...

But they didn't get excited for long before they heard a sound of breaking air in the distance.

"what is that?"

"A flying monster covered in metal armor?"

"Oh no, it's coming towards us!"

The guards and coachmen of [Mary Chamber of Commerce] heard the sound and looked over. They immediately saw the source of the loud noise and exclaimed in surprise.

However, they did not flee, because President Maya seemed to have the support of God and could easily bring down divine punishment to wipe out the enemy.

The one flying over was naturally the Kun fighter plane that Chen Ming was riding.

The sting operation was successful, and now it was time for him to reap the rewards.

For a Kun fighter jet with a speed of over 5000 kilometers per hour, a distance of several kilometers is just a matter of stepping on the gas and it can be reached in a few seconds.

The black Kun fighter flew over the caravan in the blink of an eye.

The people on the ground stood there in a daze. The frail driver was blown all over the place by the airflow from the turbine engine and could not stand up straight.

A sandstorm arose on the dirt road, and the glazed road that had just been formed by the light beam cooled and condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Chen Ming ordered [Crimson] to pull the Kun fighter up and keep it hovering in the air.

Then, he asked Alisi to sit in the driver's seat and watch. He then used [Teleport] to appear in front of Maya and greeted her with a smile:

"Maya, long time no see!"

When Chen Ming went to buy the little maid for the second time four years ago, he teleported to Mary Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, Maya was not surprised by his sudden appearance. She bowed respectfully and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your help. If you need me in the future, I will do my best!"
