Smoke still lingered in the open streets, and bloody corpses were scattered all over the place. It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place not long ago.
Kou Si snapped the neck of a struggling Transcendent and threw the corpse on the ground like a rag. Contempt and disdain flashed in his eyes.
"These human warriors are so weak!"
Saiola, who was wiping the blood off his hands, smiled faintly. "Although they are one of the strongest countries in the south, they are still weak. Not to mention the Azure Dynasty, they can't even compare to the Gotei 13 of Soul Court."
Kou Si's eyes turned gloomy at the mention of the Gotei 13, and he subconsciously touched the scar on the right side of his neck.
It was a scar left behind by an officer of the Gotei 13. That sword had almost severed his neck, and he had only managed to escape with all his strength.
That battle was the first real confrontation between the Gotei 13 and the Protoss, and it was also the beginning of their fame in the south. The Protoss had lost three sergeants and 126 soldiers in that battle.
Kou Si still felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it.
As if to dispel this uncomfortable feeling, Kou Si changed the topic. "Something seems to have happened at the city gates."
"It seems that other reinforcements have entered the city."
Saiola pressed the communicator beside his ear and frowned. "I tried to contact Sir Thorne, but it didn't work. It should be a problem with the signal."
Thorne was one of the eighteen sergeants in the assault on Bowes City. He was a five-star warrior, and according to human standards, he was a level 28 Radiant Moon knight. There was probably no one in the entire Mauritanian Empire who could threaten him, so Kou Si didn't pay much attention to it.
Reinforcements had arrived, and it didn't matter even if the Mauritanian Empire's frontline troops returned. Fighting in the city was more advantageous for the powerful Protoss. As long as they could find the Empress of the Mauritanian Empire and kill her, the Protoss would win this war.
A moment later, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the direction of the Imperial City. It seemed that the city gates had finally been breached.
It didn't take long for Saiola to receive the news.
"The target isn't in the Imperial City. He seems to have blended in with the Imperial soldiers and is now fleeing outside the city."
"I was wondering why the Empire's Extraordinaires didn't stay in the Imperial City to protect their Empress, but instead came all the way here to die. It turns out that they were here to stir up trouble!" Kou Si sneered. "A bunch of cunning rats!"
"Commander Browning and Commander Rosado have already led their men to the city gate and blocked their escape route," Seura said.
Kou Si nodded and immediately revealed an excited and bloodthirsty smile. "Then let's go kill a few more humans. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to meet our target."
"The target has at least one Radiant Moon Knight by his side. That's an opponent that only sergeants can deal with. If we really meet him, we'll be the ones in trouble." Saiora shook his head and laughed.
Bang!
At this moment, the outer wall of a shop more than ten meters away suddenly collapsed. Rubble fell to the ground and splashed up a large amount of dust.
"Cough, cough cough …"
There was a cough, followed by a grumbling voice.
"Yanan, are you sure you want to use this method?"
"Can't we?
I think it's a good idea. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points. We can break through the wall and reach the city gate quickly. We won't meet any beasts either, killing two birds with one stone. "
"… Such a big commotion will attract the enemy, won't it?"
"Don't worry, when has there ever been a problem with my method?"
"There have been problems most of the time. If it wasn't for your unreasonable luck, who knows how many losses you'd have suffered!"
Three delicate girls walked out of the dust noisily, patting the dust off their bodies as they looked around. In the end, they quickly noticed Kou Si and Saiora not far away and froze on the spot.
"… Yanan, your luck doesn't seem to be very good today."
Jiang Han's lips twitched. Her gaze swept past the insignia on the shoulders of the two Star Race warriors, and she couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
Two three-star Star Race warriors, peak Morning Star Knights. How did they meet such fiends?
Lv Lin also noticed at this moment, and her pretty face paled.
Only Ren Yanan was slow to react. After a few seconds, she exclaimed, "Three-star Star Race warriors!"
The two astral soldiers came back to their senses at this moment. Kou looked at the three girls from head to toe and laughed sinisterly, "I can't beat a Radiant Moon knight, but three human girls won't fail, right, Saiora?"
Saiora shrugged, "Then I'll leave them to you."
The two of them chatted as if there was no one else around, and Jiang Han and Lv Lin's hearts tightened. The latter laughed bitterly and whispered, "Do you think Yanan's luck can still be used?"
"It's hard to say."
Jiang Han looked at the two powerful enemies as if they were facing a great enemy, and secretly adjusted her spiritual pressure, "At least I can't think of any way to solve this problem. They can't possibly throw a few more meteors down, right?"
"Even meteors can't kill a peak Morning Star Knight. Moreover … Don't forget that the Star Race are experts at playing with meteors."
"… You're right. If that's the case, we can only pray for a Radiant Moon Knight to fall from the sky." Jiang Han's face flashed with dejection.
Hearing the conversation between her two good friends, Ren Yanan couldn't help but interrupt, "No matter what, my luck isn't that good …"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why had her vision darkened? It was only when she heard a slight whistling sound above her head that she reacted abruptly. She immediately looked up, and her eyes widened.
A huge creature with a strange appearance had appeared in the sky, and it was falling at an alarming speed. Its landing point was where Kou Si and Saiora were standing.
The two Star Race warriors immediately reacted, and flashed away without hesitation. As soon as their figures disappeared, the strange creature with a huge, baby-like golden head smashed into the ground with a loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.
What's going on?
Kou Si and Saiora looked at the dust in bewilderment. Before they could do anything, the dust was blown away by a strong wind, and the monster's figure was revealed.
Their bodies froze.
A hollow circle of steel similar to an angel's halo floated above its head, and countless sharp blades circled its neck. Its lower body was draped in a bright red cloak, and as the red cloak fluttered in the wind, one could vaguely see many columnar insect limbs that resembled centipedes.
The huge creature in front of them emitted a strange aura, but this wasn't what shocked Kou Si and Saiora the most. What shocked them was the terrifying aura emanating from its body.
From the moment it appeared, the air was filled with an aura that was as deep as the abyss. Without a doubt, it reminded them that the creature in front of them was far stronger than them.
Jiang Han and Lv Lin, who also felt the aura, were dumbfounded and rooted to the ground.
