Bengtie, I'm really not a villain!

The Grammer Empire was reduced to its last remaining, crumbling imperial core.

[You seem to have some doubts about the Zerg's almost perfect timing for their attack. How was their intelligence system able to pinpoint that moment so perfectly?]

[Was it because of the enemy's scouts, or for some other reason... like a mole?]

Despite your doubts, time is of the essence on the battlefield, and you don't have time to think about the tricks of the trade.

As time went on, the lower-level insect swarms on the other battlefields discovered the gap in your area and gathered into a dense swarm to attack again.

This time, the swarm of insects was more dense than ever before, a vast, overwhelming mass that blotted out the sky like dark clouds, sweeping in like a tsunami carrying an aura of despair.

The many survivors of the Grammer Empire fleet around you, though they had just witnessed the fighting spirit ignited by your and Flowing Firefly's azure flames, were now teetering on the brink of collapse in the face of this even more terrifying attack.

They were already out of ammunition and food, not to mention facing an insect swarm more terrifying than ever before.

Right now, their only hope is you and Liuying.

The only human flame still standing on the battlefield is your mighty mech knights.

Faced with the renewed onslaught of low-level insect swarms, you and Firefly did not rush to set off, but instead turned your attention to the most important battlefield—the heart of the Empire.

[Many elite Zerg forces reside there; victory or defeat there will be crucial.]

Then, your attention turned to the overwhelming tide of low-level Zerg before you.

........................

When Jingye heard Liuying's sweet breathing in his ear, he also felt a tight sense of pressure.

He and Liu Ying had become accustomed to their close connection inside the mecha, feeling the pressure while facing the oncoming swarm of insects.

The incessant buzzing of insects filled my ears, along with the desperate murmurs of the soldiers beside me.

"This swarm of insects is impossible to kill... Can we really escape?"

A dense swarm of low-level insects blotted out the sky, their piercing cries sending chills down everyone's spines. The soldiers collapsed to the ground, their voices trembling.

A heavy gloom of despair weighed on everyone's hearts. Countless swarms of low-level insects surged in like a black tide, their endless numbers emitting a chilling buzzing sound.

The soldiers ran out of ammunition, their weapons seemed so powerless against the swarm of insects, and fear spread wildly through their hearts.

However, at this moment of fear, facing the swarm of insects that seemed to be attacking them, Jing Ye, while rubbing Liu Ying's nipples, focused his mind and gathered a cold, domineering aura amidst the rough movements.

"There's no need to waste energy on such low-level Zerg."

A dazzling light swept past, but Jing Ye did not draw his sword; instead, he merely released the immense aura within his body!

As the general of the Grammer Empire's fleet, Jing Ye had already reached the pinnacle of domineering aura. At this moment, facing these low-level insectoids, there was no need for him to personally take action.

An immense sense of oppression instantly erupted from the gaps in the armor, engulfing the entire area. An invisible force, like a raging tsunami, surged towards the swarm of insects!

A series of crackling explosions followed, and the swarm of insects shattered into dust under the impact of this force.

Wherever the breath reached, the swarm of insects shattered like fragile glass, turning into dust and dissipating into the universe.

Just like when they first met, Jing Ye had upgraded to S-level Conqueror's Haki, which was the most terrifying pheromone nuclear bomb for the Zerg, creatures that relied on pheromones to communicate.

Moreover, at this moment, with Liu Ying inside the mech, and with the support of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, his masculine aura was even more amplified.

Any insects that came into contact with that aura fell into a state of suspended animation, and then self-destructed so as not to slow down the main force.

As a result, the seemingly overwhelming swarm of low-level insects that had just appeared to blot out the sky turned into a devastating wave when it finally attacked.

No matter how turbulent the waves are, they are nothing more than bubbles that burst apart in the face of the indestructible, majestic mountains.

As the low-level insect swarms instantly self-destructed and were completely wiped out, a patch of sky was cleared from the smoky battlefield, and the atmosphere of despair vanished.

The soldiers were stunned at first, then burst into deafening cheers, and the joy of surviving the ordeal spread across the battlefield.

Amidst the cheers, what the soldiers didn't know was that the heroic mech knights they were cheering for contained a large amount of liquid fuel.

Jingye's masculine aura is a nuclear bomb to the Zerg, and equally effective against the nearby Firefly.

Although Liu Ying was used to closely practicing her skills inside the mecha knights, Jing Ye's burst of masculine energy still pushed her to her limit.

However, it could be considered as accumulating some fuel before the battle, so Jing Ye rubbed her macaron and touched her slightly blushing cheeks to express his encouragement and praise.

Faced with the cheers of the other soldiers, Jingye manipulated Liuying to wave his hand, signaling them to evacuate the wounded to a safe area, and send the remaining combat-capable soldiers to other battlefields.

Immediately, Jingye and Liuying looked towards the center of the empire.

The powerful masculine aura that erupted at this moment clearly also affected the main battlefield. The sounds coming from near the center of the capital disappeared, and the entire battlefield became silent.

The battlefield in the heart of the empire is not far from here, and the fighting there has visibly paused for a short time.

Jing Ye understood that it was his nuclear-bomb-like masculine aura that had caused the impact there.

The overwhelming swarms of low-level insectoids here were all wiped out by his domineering aura, while those in the center of the empire, though mostly elite insectoids, were still somewhat affected.

It remains to be seen how much help it will provide to the battlefield in the heart of the Empire.

Without delay, Jingye immediately manipulated the firefly to rush to the battlefield.

Incidentally, as they soared into the sky, Jingye and Liuying experienced an unprecedented aerial battle.

Under the power of the Grammer Cavalry, the two can fly freely. The effect of "Puppet on a String" also allows Jingye to perfectly control Liuying while simultaneously controlling the power of her Grammer Cavalry.

So the result was that a dazzling blue meteor streaked across the smoky battlefield, and the Grammer cavalry, spewing blue flames, shimmered with silvery light, like the embodiment of hope and miracle in people's eyes.

Meanwhile, inside that hopeful meteor, fireflies took on various forms under Jingye's manipulation.

The two enjoyed the feeling of weightlessness while replenishing the Grammer Iron Cavalry with liquid fuel.

Since Firefly's body has already merged with the core of the Grammer Cavalry, her Firefly Water is the best fuel, so hurry up and stockpile some before arriving on the battlefield.

Although Jingye and Liuying had tried many high-intensity training sessions, this was the first time they had experienced such a high level of weightlessness.

Especially on the battlefield, while both sides were locked in fierce combat, Liu Ying was still undergoing intensive training by Jing Ye. This unique experience allowed Liu Ying's body, which had been trained to an extremely high threshold, to still feel the stimulation.

Under the influence of weightlessness, Jingye felt an unprecedented sense of urgency from Liuying, quite different from the furnace-like pressure he felt when undergoing the Grammer Iron Cavalry transformation.

Jingye and Liuying remained closely connected, letting their bodies fall like shooting stars on the battlefield, indulging in the unique and thrilling feeling of weightlessness.

………………

On the central battlefield of the Empire, the strongest and last Grammer Empire fleet, united by many generals, looked utterly defeated in the face of the siege of the Zerg elite.

Despite the fact that several generals on the scene had joined forces to lead the Grammer Empire fleet in resistance, the faces of the many soldiers were still filled with despair.

On this battlefield at the heart of the empire, the number of low-level Zerg is far less than that on other battlefields, but what truly inspires despair are the elite Zerg, each one a fearsome sight.

The destruction of the Grammer Empire was only a matter of time before the collapse of its central core, and the outcome of this battle would determine the final and most crucial line of defense.

However, faced with the unexpectedly powerful Zerg elite, no member of the Grammer Empire fleet believed they could win.

Despite the encouragement of many generals, many soldiers were still able to take up arms, but they were ashen-faced and turned to ashes like moths drawn to a flame.

Suddenly, a dense, booming sound came from the battlefield not far away, like a long string of firecrackers going off at once, which attracted everyone's attention.

To the bewilderment of many already desperate warriors, a clearing had been cleared out on the battlefield not far away, where the overwhelming horde of low-level Zerg that had gathered there had vanished completely.

Originally, most of the soldiers in the Grammer Empire fleet did not believe they had any hope of survival, whether it was the elite Zerg in front of them or the overwhelmingly large number of low-level Zerg.

Even without facing the elite forces here, the tsunami-like low-level Zerg would be enough to overwhelm everyone.

However, what happened at that moment, the scene on the battlefield that seemed to have been swept away by a mountain to clear a space, suddenly ignited a glimmer of light in everyone's hearts.

As a chilling sense of oppression emanated from the other battlefield, many soldiers felt a chill and realized that the many Zerg on the battlefield in front of them had also been affected!

The Zerg that had been launching attacks without stopping suddenly froze. The elite Zerg all stopped their attacks, and the lower-level Zerg even self-destructed on the spot!

Seeing the low-level Zerg in front of them exploding like firecrackers, the soldiers of the Grammer Empire fleet seemed to understand what had happened to the low-level Zerg that had been wiped out not far away.

Feeling that familiar sense of oppression, many soldiers and even many generals had the image of a young but historically significant boy in their minds!

And so, in the deathly silence filled with despair, a silver meteor burning with blue flames crashed down with a roar!

Amidst the thunderous crash of the falling meteor, everyone was astonished as the magnificent silver-white mecha knight landed, raising a cloud of dust!

"Action Four: Ignition!"

From the smoke and dust came angry shouts from a mixture of male and female voices, and suddenly bursts of raging flames erupted!

Before the incredulous eyes of the many soldiers and officers of the Grammer Empire fleet, a sudden surge of blue flames, like several fire dragons dancing wildly, devoured all the Zerg on the battlefield!

An unprecedentedly majestic silver-white knight descended from the sky, bringing with him dazzling fireworks!

Amidst the dazzling, mesmerizing blue flames, even the elite Zerg forces were repeatedly forced back, yet a clearing was still carved out of the battlefield!

I originally planned to write about fireflies laying eggs in this chapter, but the Battlefield Tide was something I absolutely had to include.

I originally wanted to write 10,000 words in this chapter, which would also be considered "fireflies laying eggs in this chapter," making it easier to come up with a catchy title...

But my sleep schedule has been a bit strange lately; I've been sleeping soundly from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM, so I'm a little short on time to write.

To reach 10,000 words in this chapter would take a very late hour, so I'll just release 6,000 words for now.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Fireflies Laying Eggs

"It's Jing Ye... Jing Ye and Liu Ying!"

Although it was just a magnificent silver-white mecha knight landing, the familiar sense of oppression and the unbelievably powerful combat strength made many warriors recognize at a glance that this was definitely Jing Ye!

The soldiers of the Grammer Empire fleet, who had been in despair, were all rekindled with hope by the blue flames and burst into enthusiastic cheers!

Cheers erupted throughout the heart of the empire in an instant, sweeping away the gloom of despair that had hung over them!

The general who had previously looked down on Jing Ye was now truly impressed and grateful when he was saved by him.

The general who initially stood against all opposition to protect Jingye and Liuying felt an unparalleled sense of relief, glad that his judgment had indeed been correct.

It was this general's strong opposition that brought a savior to the now crumbling central battlefield of the empire.

Although it's unclear how Jingye and Liuying became so powerful, the mecha knight before them, who was more magnificent and powerful than any of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, was undoubtedly a true hero!

The liquid fuel that Jingye and Liuying had accumulated in mid-air burst into brilliant colors on the battlefield the moment they landed!

What many soldiers didn't know was that the gushing flames were merely overflowing streams of firefly water.

Jingye and Liuying listened to the cheers and applause around them, confirming that there was too much liquid fuel stored inside the mecha.

During the intense aerial battle, the sensation of weightlessness caused even the firefly's body, which was accustomed to extremely high thresholds, to burst into tears, ultimately leading to her storage exceeding the limit.

The flames that cleared a space after landing were simply the result of Jingye and Liuying using up the excess firefly water that exceeded their storage limits.

Although the Zerg elites were forced back by the surging flames, it was not easy to completely annihilate them, especially since there were still countless Zerg in the distance.

Jingye and Liuying gazed into the distance and finally saw the most crucial creature of the Zerg for the first time—

At the source of the densely packed Zerg hordes falling onto the battlefield, a gigantic Zerg queen, resembling a black sun, occupied half the sky.

Jingye and Liuying both felt a heaviness in their hearts, but in this moment of tightly embracing each other, no matter how many insectoids were in front of them, no matter how the sky was blocked, they would still carve out a path with their own hands.

For the many cheering soldiers behind them, and for the few remaining lights behind them.

Most importantly, in order to survive, and for the sake of each other, they will use flames to burn everything!

Despite her slight shyness, Liu Ying's eyes hardened as Jing Ye held the macaron tightly in his hand.

The liquid fuel that had just accumulated in mid-air was now aimed at the distant Zerg and fired with a roar!

"I will ignite the sea of ​​stars!"

Amidst the cheers of the soldiers, countless cyan fire serpents erupted from the majestic silver-white mecha knight's twin swords!

As their dazzling fiery wings illuminated the sky, numerous enraged fire dragons surged onto the battlefield!

Numerous fire serpents intertwined, agile yet carrying world-destroying power, weaving through the insectoid race!

In the blink of an eye, the fire serpents converged and merged again, transforming into a sky-covering azure fire dragon. The dragon's body meandered and coiled, completely entangling the Zerg army!

The terrifying flames instantly engulfed the Zerg. In the grand inferno that almost set the night sky ablaze, even though many Zerg struggled desperately and let out mournful screams, they could not break free!

Those Zerg elites that had baffled the Grammer Empire fleet, whether they were high-speed flying insects spraying corrosive liquids at long range or thorn bugs that charged up and self-destructed like missiles, could not escape being devoured by the flames!

As the entire battlefield was illuminated by blue flames, a dazzling scene like the aurora borealis enveloped the night sky. The despair that covered the battlefield with countless insectoids was burned away along with the annihilation of most of the insectoids!

In an instant, the Imperial Center and the Grammer Empire fleet erupted in enthusiastic cheers once again!
