Last Totem Novel - Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Regret

Seven hours before the first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon of Desert Five, four hours before the first wave of insects attacked Tyre Stronghold …

At 11 p.m. Silver City time and 18 a.m. Satt time, Eva Green, who had been restless and pacing back and forth in the hall of Twilight Manor, finally waited until Yoga Lombar, who had returned late, hurriedly welcomed him.

However, the Princess, who had just entered the hall, seemed to be in a trance, as if she was lost in thought. For a moment, she did not notice Eva Green coming. Looking from the side, she was wearing an ordinary female student uniform, her footsteps seemed to be somewhat erratic, and her face looked somewhat haggard. Although her delicate face was still flawless and beautiful, it was now stained with a layer of pale color, as if something troublesome had happened.

However, before Eva Green could think about it, she hurriedly chased after him and whispered, “Your Highness, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Wait for me?” You Ge raises his head and stares blankly at Assistant Green in front of him.

“Tyre Stronghold may have encountered an unknown crisis. Satellite communications have been completely disabled. We have been out of contact for more than 15 hours. I think … we need the support of the Dawn Expeditionary Force.” Eva finished speaking in one breath, then lowered her hands and waited for Her Highness’ reply.

“Lost connection? Crisis” You Ge muttered to himself as he gradually regained his senses. His expression froze as he asked coldly, “What time is it now?”

“Seth’s time is 18:00.” Eva nodded.

“Mm” You Ge lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Eva. With a solemn expression, he said, “Before dawn, we cannot send out the Dawn Expeditionary Force. We can only look for reinforcements from Sand Wind Castle.”

“It’s too late, it’s definitely too late …” Eva said anxiously. “Tyre Stronghold might fall at any moment!”

“If there really is danger, we can’t send an expeditionary force.” You Ge says calmly, “The swarm of bees and insects has a greater advantage at night, and the Dawn Expeditionary Army is the sharp sword of humans against outsiders, so we can’t afford to lose.” You Ge raises her eyebrows and asks in an intensified tone, “Assistant Green, do you understand?”

“I … I understand, but there are still a lot of people in the stronghold …” Eva anxiously said. At the same time, she silently shouted in her heart, “Your Highness, your little lover is right there!” However, she didn’t dare to say it out loud. She really couldn’t say anything about this matter …

“Which one is more important? Do you still need me to reiterate it?” You Ge’s expression darkens as he gritts his teeth and asks.

“I … I have a very important person in the stronghold …” In desperation, Eva Green had no choice but to tell a small lie. But as soon as she said that, her cheeks couldn’t help but heat up.

“Oh?” You Ge raises her exquisite chin and crosses her chest with both hands, looking at Assistant Green with interest. After a while, she suddenly smiled and asked, “What’s his name?”

Eva said timidly, “Sa … Sa Cha Cha … is now the temporary commander of Tyre Stronghold …”

“Is this man named Sa Jia Qi very important to you?” You Ge raises his eyebrows and asks.

“Very … very important.” Eva lowered her head and replied with a flushed face. At this moment, she only wanted to find a crack in the ground and drill into it. However, she had no choice but to say so. She didn’t dare to imagine how serious the consequences would be if Tie Zha died in Tyre Stronghold and the princess knew about it. She estimated that the furious princess would skin her. Perhaps this was the lightest punishment.

“Then, do you love him more, or do you love me more?” You Ge’s expression suddenly changes as he asks in a deep voice.

‘”Love him” Just as she said that, Eva Green noticed the change in the princess’ expression and quickly changed her tone. “No … no … my love for Her Highness the Princess is as deep as the sea … How can I compare to him …”

“Really?” You Ge wrinkles her nose and tilts her head to ask.

“Really.” Eva answered earnestly and tried her best to make her tone become pious.

“So …” You Ge straightened up and said indifferently, “Let’s use his blood to prove your loyalty to me.”

“Yes, my princess.” With that, Eva Green bowed and left Twilight Manor. She knew that once the princess made up her mind, it would be meaningless for her to say anything else. Other than making things worse, there would be no benefits.

Unless …

She said the identity of that person, but she did not dare, could not, nor was she willing …

Seven hours later, tens of thousands of rays of dawn shot out from the horizon of Desert Five, gradually illuminating the entire world.

In an instant, dark clouds covered the surroundings of Tyre Stronghold, buzzing unceasingly. Like a tide, the swarm of bees and ants surged in the flat Gobi Desert and in the scarlet red sky. They roared and hummed, engulfing the sky and the earth, facing the golden dawn, carrying the might of destruction as they pounced towards the human castle that was riddled with holes.

At this moment, Tyre Stronghold was like a small island in the vast ocean. It was flashing with lightning and thunder, violent winds and torrential rains. It was as if it would be smashed into powder by a monstrous wave in the next moment.

Tie Zha stood on the city wall and silently looked at the swarm of insects that covered the sky and covered the sun. However, his gaze did not stop at the swarm of insects. Instead, he traveled through countless times and distances to the collapsed temple, staring at the flickering flames.

“Teacher, father, I’m sorry, Tie Zha can only walk here …” He said regretfully in a voice that he could only hear.

Then, he slowly picked up the walkie-talkie and said firmly, “Friends, the gate to heaven has opened. Good luck on your journey!”

After a moment of silence, many hesitant, hesitant, but firm voices came from the walkie-talkie.

“Stronghold Commander, it’s the greatest honor in my life to be able to stand side by side with you.” “Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi, have a good journey!” “Boss, I’ll see you in heaven.” “Brothers, let’s get together on the Yellow Springs Road.”

As they bid farewell, the war began.

The stinger bees hovering in the air like dark clouds launched their first round of salvo. They absorbed the air in large mouthfuls until their chests bulged high. Then, with a sharp howl, they spat out a one-meter-long, white spike from their small mouthparts!

“Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish …”

Along with the gentle sound of air currents, spikes pierced through the air and shot towards the human stronghold one after another.

“Arnold, go up and exterminate them!” Following Tie Zha’s command, thirteen figures soared into the sky, dragging their azure tail flames towards the swarm of sting bees in the air.

At the same time, the flying flies circling over the stronghold all retracted their membrane wings and began to dive. The flying flies on the ground also rushed over with a small number of thunderous beasts and pounced towards the city wall.

However, the moment humans and insects clashed, the battle became extremely fierce.

On the southwest front, a Marine was rolling and wrestling on the ground with a flying fly in his arms. He ignored the sharp teeth and clenched his dagger tightly to stab the flying fly’s waist …

On the southeastern front, a spiked, riddled, smoke-emitting wolf was standing on the city wall, shooting madly at the swarm of insects below …

On the northeast front, a Marine was manipulating the divine cannon on the firing platform and fiercely shooting at the flying flies in the air. Beside him, there were several corpses of his companions lying in a row …

On the northwest front, a Marine from the Werewolf Legion leapt down from the city wall with a large ball of plastic explosives in his arms. He pounced on a Thunderous Beast that was about to hit the city wall. “Boom!” Countless broken limbs, shattered bones, and dark red blood clots flew into the sky like pillars of air, scattering in all directions. When the smoke dissipated, the mottled city wall was covered with blood and flesh …

In that moment, hundreds of self-detonating flying flies dived down and crashed into the city wall!

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom”

Amidst the continuous cracking sounds, dense acids that emitted fluorescence splashed everywhere. Wherever they went, green smoke rose, accompanied by a pungent smell that rushed into the sky …

“Guild Leader, retreat to defend the fortress.” Wang Hu took advantage of the time to rest and suggested to Tie Zha. At this moment, a flying fly pounced over. Wang Hu dodged the attack sideways, then grabbed its neck and pressed it to the ground. Then, he smashed its head with a punch.

At the same time, a weeping fly rushed up the city wall and pounced towards Tie Zha. As for the latter, he swung his fist and swept the former out. Then, he added a spear and directly blew its head off. Then, he looked around and said to Wang Hu, “Wait a moment longer, we won’t be able to get in or out.” Once they abandoned the city wall and retreated to the fortress, it would mean that all mecha would be abandoned. At that time, there would only be hand-to-hand battles inside the building. Even if reinforcements came, they might not be able to survive.

Ten minutes later …

The situation deteriorated further. Many parts of the city walls were lost, and large numbers of songflies poured into the stronghold. With the help of the self-detonating flying flies and the self-detonating songflies, the human front quickly collapsed. Mu Qianhe disbanded the mecha squad and ordered them to fight their own battles. Then, he opened the Tiger Mecha and led a small group of Marines from the werewolf legion to retreat to guard the fortress gate.

Three minutes later …

Tie Zha stood on the northwest city wall, dragging his tired body as he watched the swarm of insects flying in the sky. He endured the intense pain coming from his chest, took a deep breath, and gave the last order, “Everyone, retreat to the fortress.”

“Yes, Commander.” “Yes, Guild Leader.” “Yes, boss.” “Yes, friend.” “Yes, brother.” In an instant, a burnout-filled response sounded out one after another.

However, at this moment of despair, a steady and firm voice came from everyone’s walkie-talkie.

“Qianhe, I’m coming.”

“Hold on! I’m coming!” The voice suddenly turned into a deep roar.

The moment Mu Qianhe heard this voice, he was stunned for a moment. Then, large hot tears flowed out of her bright eyes and fell into the dust quietly.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

As if responding to this resolute roar, a heaven-shaking cannon sound sounded from the southwest of the stronghold at the same time. The soldiers instantly recovered their spirits and rushed to the city wall. Smoke billowed from the southwest of the stronghold, and a large number of mechs and armored personnel carriers broke through the encirclement of the swarm of insects and rushed over.

At the same time, a long and far-reaching horn sound came from the northwest of the stronghold.

Tie Zha gritted his teeth and gave himself a dose of anesthetic. Then, he called Wang Hu, Jerome and the others and quickly climbed onto the city wall. Looking around, groups of tall figures appeared on the distant horizon. They were faintly visible in the dust as they paced over like bronze giants from the peak of the Gods Mountain.
