Regardless of the cost, Ducate Holstrom was killed, and with the help of Saren, he bewildered the Romans and created a brilliant result. Gu Xie knew that a warrior in war had terrible power, and a warrior who had enough Zakura crystal to replenish his consumption could change the outcome of a battle. The least abundant thing on Tian Xing was the Zakura crystal mine, and a warrior like Ducate was almost equivalent to a military factory that could continuously produce powerful armed mechs!

  Kill Dukat Holnam, not for the Earth Federation, but for his own subordinates, for the mercenaries of Hell Angel Mercenary Corps!

  Guxiaodun, borrowing the momentum of his rapid descent from high altitude, brought with him a steel plate-like gale that shot straight at Dukate. His right middle finger was aimed at Dukate from afar, and Guxiaodun's entire being was focused on Dukate. The tip of his middle finger trembled lightly along a wonderful trajectory, no matter where Dukate dodged, Guxiaodun had the confidence to blast this annihilating energy into his brow.

  Within a hundred meters of Dukat, an oppressive chill already enveloped him, the energy shields on dozens of elite Roman warriors around him fluctuating rapidly, invisible forces surging onto their bodies, constantly draining the energy from their armor.

  Dukate let out a low drink, and a flowing white liquid continuously seeped out from his body. The armor on his body surface became thicker and thicker, and he gradually condensed a set of heavy armor that was half a foot thick on the surface of his body. Dukate's two fists were tightly stuck to his waist, and his fists trembled slightly, showing that he had also concentrated all his strength.

  A pale green figure darted towards Dukat. "Sho, get out of the way... this guy is too powerful!"

  A soft, crisp cry rang out, and Gu Xiechen finally saw clearly what the pale green figure was - it was a spirit tribe girl who was less than 1.6 meters tall, with a delicate and elegant appearance. The girl wore a short dress made of what looked like wisteria vines, which was refreshing and clean, making people feel happy at first sight. Compared to ordinary spirit tribe people, this girl had more vitality and energy. The most peculiar thing was that there was a small, emerald-green crystal on the girl's brow, about the size of a green bean, which kept flashing with a faint green light, looking extremely mysterious.

  "Lily... don't come any closer!" Dukate bellowed, his fists clenched at his waist suddenly shooting up to grab the girl's hips.

  Lily gritted her teeth, her petite body seemingly impossible to twist in mid-air, her toes lightly tapping on Dukati's fist. Borrowing the force of Dukati's grab, Lily's body suddenly accelerated and blocked Dukati's path. A tiny green crystal at her brow flashed a fine beam of light, and Lily crossed her arms over her chest, staring fixedly at Gu Xuan who was rushing towards Xiao and shrieked: "Don't hurt Xiao!"

  A soft green light the size of a human head burst forth at the intersection of Lily's crossed hands, and Gu Xuan suddenly had an illusion that the surrounding forest was alive, all the trees becoming his enemies, revealing deep hostility towards him. Wave after wave of visible green airflow poured into the green light sphere in front of Lily, but within one-hundredth of a second, the originally human-head-sized light ball rapidly expanded to five meters in size before quickly compressing back towards its center.

  Accompanied by the dull thunder, a fist-sized, entirely dark green light ball condensed in front of Lily. Lily panted heavily and shouted: "Xiao, let me stop him!"

  Ducati's hands had just withdrawn from grasping Lily's waist, but Gu Xiechen was already rushing up to within less than ten meters in front of them. It was too late to throw Lily away now.

  "Ducati shouted loudly: 'Alright, let's join hands and fight him together!'"

  Gu Xie Chen's heart skipped a beat as he sensed that the invisible barrier near Dukate's dantian had suddenly disappeared, and a thick and powerful true energy burst out from Dukate's dantian. Dukate was like an engine that had received sufficient energy supply, bursting out with tremendous power, his body suddenly rising by about three inches, his left hand behind his back, his right fist clenched slowly aiming at Gu Xie Chen.

  In that instant, Dukate and Lily's breath merged into one. Dukate's gaze was firm and stubborn, while Lily's eyes were clear as water, filled with deep affection.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Xiechen had already locked onto Du Kuate and Lily's minds, suddenly releasing them. The massive energy condensed in his middle finger surged into the other four fingers of his right hand, and the Snow-Devouring Divine Claw brought up a fierce gust of cold wind that swept towards Du Kuate and Lily with a loud whoosh.

  In the dark forest, a sudden flash of light appeared, and five arcing crescent-shaped claws, almost substantial, swooped past Ducate and Lily's bodies with a loud whoosh. The biting cold air nearly froze their bodies solid. The Snow God's Seal, amplified by the As-You-Wish Gloves, transformed into five tangible blasts of energy that shot out over a hundred meters away. Along the way, all the Roman warriors let out hoarse screams, some were cut in half at the waist, others were split into two pieces from head to toe, and some had their arms and legs severed. A thick smell of blood filled the forest, with over 200 Roman warriors killed or severely injured by Gu Xuan's full-force strike.

  Kuxia dust, like a ghost, swept past Lili and Dukate, his right hand flashing lightning-fast as he struck Dukate dozens of times, and in an instant, he plunged into the dark forest.

  "I don't kill women...Ducati, you owe a debt of gratitude to this little broad beside you!"

  With a loud "crash", the thick silver armor on Dukate's body suddenly shattered into dozens of pieces. Dukate's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he stared at the falling armor fragments, his voice trembling with shock: "How is this possible? This alloy, this alloy, is the strongest one I've ever researched!"

  Lily let out a low hum, dispersing the green light ball in front of her. She suddenly rolled over and sat on the ground with a thud. Her pale green lips opened and closed weakly as she said: "So scary, so scary... Xiao, that guy just now was so scary! Waaah, I thought we were both going to be killed!"

  Ducati took a deep breath, gazing at the blood-soaked Roman warrior on the ground, his body suddenly shuddering with a chill.

  With a hint of schadenfreude, Dukat sneered: "Lili... the enemy that Bajor and Cardassia are facing this time is quite formidable!"

  Lily grasped the hem of Dukate's garment and looked up at him pitifully.

  Guxia Chen gathered all his subordinates and left the dense forest that had just been ravaged by war. Three small transport ships flew forward in a hurry, hugging the ground and following the terrain of mountains and rivers, carefully avoiding possible scanning waves from the sky and the ground. Guxia Chen stood inside the command cabin of the first transport ship, thoughtfully watching the dense forest rapidly scrolling across the light screen.

  "Not killing... is also good! A half-breed from the Roman family? And a wonderfully talented Kijin!"

  Gu Xie dust Gu Guai smiled: "Make a good relationship, who knows when it will come in handy! And that little girl is called Lily? I really can't bring myself to do it!"

  The scene on the screen suddenly changed, and a sturdy old man with obvious Nordic blood appeared on the screen.

  The old man, dressed in the uniform of a General of the Earth Federation Forces, had a majestic eight-shaped beard and two deep-set eye sockets under his high-bridged nose. In his dark grey eyes gleamed an icy, stubborn and slightly violent glint. As soon as he saw Gu Xuan Dust, the old man gruffly asked: "Colonel Commander of the Tian Tang Star Independent Army, Gu Xuan Dust?"

  The old general gazed deeply at the holographic screen for a full ten seconds before responding in a low voice, "Yes!"

  Everyone in the command cabin took a deep breath, and the main force of the Earth Federation Army finally arrived.

  The five-star General Wagley closed his eyes and roared: "I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Galactic Federation's Paradise Star Expeditionary Force, General Wagley. I command: The Independent Army of Paradise Star immediately return to my command and join the A Army Group of the Paradise Star Expeditionary Force, directly under the command of Colonel Wallick of the 98th Independent Heavy Armored Regiment of the Federal Forces."

  A young commander in his early thirties, with a pale complexion and elegant appearance, appeared on the light screen. He had an air of arrogance and a hint of regular military demeanor, with a sense of superiority unique to irregular troops. He gave Gu Xuan Dust a neat and efficient military salute: "Gu Xuan Dust... sir, from today on, you will be directly under my command!"

  Gu Xiechen furrowed his brow, and coldly said: "My military rank seems to be Colonel!" Walei addressed Gu Xiechen as Mr., avoiding any mention of Gu Xiechen's military rank. Gu Xiechen felt very displeased about this.

  "Obey orders, Kuxia Dust... Colonel!"

  Kuxia Dust's heart ignited with a fierce flame, and he bellowed in a voice ten decibels higher than Vagrie's: "Mr. Vagrie, my brothers have been fighting for half a month, suffering heavy casualties! I demand that all brothers be allowed to regroup on the spot and not participate in any battles until we receive sufficient reinforcements of troops and equipment! The Heavenly Star Independent Army will not fight again!"

  Vagrey was taken aback by Gu Xiachen, a commander of the Tianxing Independent Army, which was reorganized from a mercenary group that was no different from a vagabond. How dare he speak to himself like this? Vagrey was one of the oldest qualified generals in the Earth Federation Military Department and had an extremely large network of relationships and potential forces in the European Military District of the Earth Federation.

  Wah Lai Zhong Xiao did not warm up or get angry, but smiled instead. He sarcastically asked: "Oh? Gu Xie Chen... Mr., your subordinates have been fighting for half a month? What results do you have?"

  Gu Xie dust proudly raised his head, and with an attitude a hundred times more arrogant than that of the great Wei Lishi, he coldly sneered: "I've taken down 130 level-one warships of the Roman people. According to the Earth Federation Army's reward and punishment regulations, my merits are enough for me to be promoted to Major General! You're just a small Colonel, what are you trembling in front of me for?"

  Vagari was stunned, and for a moment there was no sound in the communicator.

  It was not just Gu Xiechen, but also the people in the command cabin, such as Sai Ren and Aredia, who simultaneously raised their heads with pride, like a group of fighting cocks that had just won a battle.

  Walei's face convulsed violently, and he roared almost frantically: "Nonsense! Falsifying military achievements is a court-martial offense!"

  Gu Xie dusted off his hand, and a data chip taken from the battlefield recorder was inserted into the communicator. The battle report from the past few days was instantly transmitted to Wagri and others.

  After a full ten minutes, it was clear that Wagley and others in the light screen simultaneously took a cold breath.

  Wagri's gaze towards Gu Xiechen became extremely strange, while Wagri's gaze could be described as venomous. Gu Xiechen even suspected that he and Wagri had a vendetta of killing his father and stealing his wife, and whether he had unintentionally destroyed Wagri's entire family?

  "Damn it, I've got another enemy for no reason!"

  Gu Xie Cen's heart is as clear as a mirror, and he must be careful from now on to avoid being stabbed in the back.
