Chapter 568 Imminent Danger! (2/2)
However, their motive should also be to deal with him, or else they would not have brought out three Calamity Grades.
Could it be that DarkStar had discovered his involvement and schemes‽
Han Xiao groaned inwardly. Since the Godoran frigate was not present, he alone was unable to withstand the attacks from a mothership.
The circumstances were dire!
He immediately contacted Nagakin. The first issue now was to remain rational and seek for help.
”I've discovered a DarkStar mothership in the vicinity of Planet Aquamarine. They most likely wish to eradicate this planet, and thus, danger is imminent. We have to request for assistance!”
”What‽ I'll report it up now!” Nagakin exclaimed.
Since they were still within their honeymoon period of cooperating, Godora would definitely come to his aid.
Han Xiao did not stop to rest, immediately contacting Bennett and the Six Nations. He requested for them to arrange staff to guide the people in the cities to take shelter in the underground air defense facilities.
DarkStar would be launching a global strike, and without the frigate from Godora to protect the planet, the danger would be a hundred times higher. This would be akin to throwing a delicate pretty girl into a group of sex-starved men. They could only try to minimize the losses before the reinforcements came.
This was the greatest crisis that Planet Aquamarine had ever faced. DarkStar was an enemy that this planet could not afford to face. If they did not handle the situation properly, their civilization would end there and then!
Just like the Sunil civilization of the past.
”What's wrong?” Hila caught Han Xiao's expression and furrowed her brows.
”There's a fleet that's about to attack us. Don't tarry here any longer. Take your sister to the Sanctuary to hide. I'll activate the protective shield later,” Han Xiao replied swiftly.
”Aurora will return. I can stay to protect you,” Hila replied in a solemn tone.
”Help my *ss, this battlefield is way too early for you to be participating in!”
Han Xiao was not courteous at all. When faced with three Calamity Grades, even he would feel the pressure. If not for the fact that he had received the two Molding Abilities that made him into something of a power generator, he would not take the risk of facing the enemy at all. To think that Hila, who was far from having the qualifications to participate, wanted to join in!
Hila's face turned stiff as she angrily gritted her teeth. However, she knew that Han Xiao was not someone who would pretend to be strong. If he said that she was not suitable, then she was really ill-suited for it. She did not hesitate, hurriedly taking her sister to run toward the inner portions of the Sanctuary, her speed extremely quick.
Given Han Xiao's current status, he was fully capable of commanding the whole of Planet Aquamarine. Having received his news, the Six Nations and Bennett were alarmed and immediately mobilized people to help the civilians evacuate.
Alarms rang throughout the Sanctuary, and the city immediately turned chaotic. Groups of refugees were guided toward the air defense facilities.
The residents in the street also left, jostling with each other.
Hu!
Just as Han Xiao was preparing to go up to the command center to coordinate the overall situation, a whistling sound came from the sky.
More than a dozen spaceships from DarkStar entered the atmosphere, heading toward the shelters. They swooped at high speed and, without warning, immediately began firing their laser cannons. Clusters of beams hit various locations in the Sanctuary, and dozens of areas immediately exploded.
Boom!
Flames and smoke rose up into the sky. The next second, the peaceful Sanctuary turned into a visage of hell!
This did not stop at the Sanctuaries. At the same time, the Six Nations were also attacked by the DarkStar ships.
Planet Aquamarine had come under enemy attack once again!
”How did they arrive so quickly‽” Han Xiao had a grave expression. He had only received the news a few short minutes ago and only just begun to evacuate the civilians. How did the enemies appear so quickly?
A DarkStar spaceship shot over his head, bringing with it a screaming gust of wind. Han Xiao glanced up at it, and his eyes suddenly focused.
That's right. The mothership should not have arrived yet. This group should be the vanguard!
We have to immediately bring these spaceships down!
Han Xiao contacted his mercenaries to deploy the protective shield at the base while starting up the ground-to-air Electromagnetic Rail Cannon. He also ordered the officers such as Herlous to utilize the assault ships seized the previous time to fight against the DarkStar vanguards.
With a protective shield above the Sanctuary, the situation was better there compared to the Six Nations. They were the ones that required more help at the moment.
As he was issuing his orders, Han Xiao suddenly sensed danger and immediately leaped to the side. A black arrow that was tens of meters long was deeply embedded where he had previously stood.
Bang!
The street split apart from the impact!
The next second, the dark arrow collapsed and turned into countless particles, hovering around a figure in the sky.
Ember lowered his head to look at Han Xiao. His face was expressionless as he snapped his fingers.
Pa!
His move is not targeted at me… Han Xiao's heart tightened, and he quickly turned back to look. Behind him, the refugees that were running away from afar all turned into piles of ash in an instant. The stall owner's family was one of the affected. Just a second ago, he had still been running away in large strides, and in the next second, he had turned into a pile of ash on the ground.
Those who were fortunately spared from the attack all collapsed to the ground, scared silly. A warmth could be felt around their crotches.
At this point, Ember looked down from high above, coldly speaking.
”Did you miss me, Black Star?”
Dammit, this guy's ability to cause damage to civilians is too scary. I have to hold him down!
Han Xiao furrowed his brows before reining in his stare. He looked at Ember as he sarcastically replied, ”Of course I did. You lost to me so many times previously. Do you wish to taste defeat once more?”
Hearing this, a hint of anger appeared on Ember's face. However, he realized that his mission was to force Black Star to stay and battle him, and his anger was immediately replaced by a cold sneer.
”Haha, do you think I came to deal with you this time?”
Ember raised his head to look at his surroundings. The Sanctuary was set ablaze, with spaceships constantly bombarding the area. The streets had turned into debris, with waves of refugees constantly running around.
His gaze swept across the muddled crowds before locking onto the escaping figures of Hila and Aurora.
”I've already checked you out thoroughly. Those two women are probably friends that you value highly. So, you can collect their corpses! If there's still anything to collect after this!”
Ember activated his ability, grasping outward with his fingers.
From afar, Hila and Aurora's bodies began turning to ash!Similar to the bullet comments you can see on WN's comics.
