Chapter 1594 - Making Contact (2/2)

The strange silver-white machine suddenly shook. It required two giants to carry it earlier, but now it hovered in midair and spoke aloud as if it had come to life.

“Look! Look! That is exactly what I have said; these words would work. Everyone, including the guardian giants, has curiosity.”

And then came another female voice. “But the drone was just attacked.”

“It is unavoidable. I think it was automatic firepower, or it could not react in time. Anyway, the drone has survived.”

“Bah, whatever you say makes sense. Happy now?”

Salaman’s eyebrow arched. There seemed to be more than one person behind this strange machine, and the way they talk seemed to be so casual. Are they not soldiers? He thought to himself.

“Who are you guys?” asked the old giant with a frown.

The strange-looking machine emitted a strange sound, and then its front end suddenly lit up with a holographic image.

A man with a smiley face and a woman who looked calm appeared in the holographic image.

The image flashed, and another small creature with a long tail popped up from below the visual before sliding back down.

Salaman was like what the heck?

The old giant was struck dumb; he had never seen such weird things before all his life.

“You can call me Hao Ren. This is Vivian Ancestor.” Hao Ren was also observing the guardian giant, but he had not forgotten to introduce himself. “We are the observers.”

“The observers?” The old giant repeated this strange word. “You can call me Salaman. Who are you guys? What do you want?”

“We know you are in a war, and we are here to help,” Hao Ren said bluntly. He did not wait for the guardian giant to reply when he saw his reaction. “Please do not interrupt. I know it is only natural that you are suspicious of us who come out of nowhere suddenly. But before I explain, I want to show you something.”

The holographic image switched, and it now showed the footage of the battle around the Naqdal Continent.

Of course, these were edited; the footages of how the drone cluster arrived, the clandestine operation, size, and speed of deployment had been omitted. But Salaman could still clearly see how the drones overran and annihilated the festered army.

As a general who had been fighting the festered monsters for thousands of years, the feeling that Salaman, the old giant, had was a complicated one. On one hand, he was happy that the drones had wiped out the festered. On the other hand, he was rueful; the guardian giants should be the ones to clean up the festered monsters, which were used to be the guardian giants.

Toward the second half of the visual recordings, Salaman saw something familiar.

“Is that the temples of Naqdal?”

“You recognize it!” The video ended, and Hao Ren’s image reappeared on the hologram. “That is Naqdal, indeed. The battle was fought surrounding the fragment of Naqdal. Those mutant monsters tried to destroy Naqdal Continent, but my drone cluster had stopped them in time. This coincident intervention has also led us to the sprites on Naqdal Continent. There, we learned about the mutant monsters and the war in this galaxy.”

“We want you to know that you are not the only one who is fighting these festered monsters,” Vivian spoke at last. “We are going after this evil force in the entire universe.”

Salaman was silent for a long moment and finally said, “What do you want?”

“Let us cooperate,” Hao Ren said.
