"Increase the firepower on the planets.
Except for Monteux.
Allow the battleships on the other three planets to attack. Cover the landing ships. "Kang Hui ordered.
"Admiral, this isn't appropriate.
The council … "The chief of staff's voice interrupted.
Kang Hui's voice was cold. "A general can't obey an emperor's orders on the battlefield.
Aren't our warriors human as well?
If this goes on, how many more men will we lose before we can finish?
Follow orders. "
"Aye aye!"
The chief of staff had no choice. In a war, the admiral's orders were above all else, unless he was dismissed by the military.
But how could such a thing happen in a battle like this?
Nothing was more important than defeating the aliens.
Besides, the military would stand by Kang Hui's side.
From space, it was clear that the firepower on the three planets had increased.
Sure enough, with the aid of the battleships, the landing ships were moving more smoothly.
"Reporting.
Monteux Star had successfully installed planetary rail cannons, and four of them had already been installed.
The Eastern Alliance says the landings are going smoothly. "Finally, there was good news.
"Please ask Admiral Lan to send us the video," Kang Hui said.
"Aye aye!"
It wasn't long before the images came through.
When they saw the Eastern Alliance's landing ships, Kang Hui was speechless.
What was power?
This was power!
With less than ten people, they'd covered the landing of an entire army.
But all ten of them were Paragons!
Kang Hui sighed inwardly. He'd received orders that if everything went smoothly, and the home worlds were destroyed, then the military would allow him to make a move against the Northern Alliance as long as it was safe.
What this implied couldn't be any clearer.
But Kang Hui knew better. He'd seen with his own eyes how terrifying these Paragons were.
The Eastern Alliance had more than ten Paragons, and any one of them could destroy heaven and earth!
What's more, there was Jueti. Provoking them was suicide.
The military still didn't understand that the rise of the Eastern Alliance was inevitable. What they needed to do now was build a good relationship with the Eastern Alliance.
The strength of an individual was an important indicator of the evolution of any race in the universe.
For humans, the rise of the Eastern Alliance was not a bad thing.
Moreover, Kang Hui had the blood of the Eastern Alliance flowing through his veins.
If the war ended and they won, then his position in the Northern Alliance's military would be greatly improved. When that happened, he would try to build a better relationship with the Eastern Alliance.
Ever since Lan Qing and the An Lun army had arrived, Kang Hui had been nervous. Middle Heaven was enormous, even larger than Terminator.
Currently, no one knew how powerful it was.
But Kang Hui had a feeling that Middle Heaven was far more powerful than it appeared to be.
At the very least, he felt that there was something wrong with that slow speed.
If they couldn't even maintain speed, why didn't they just remove the rock from the planet's surface?
With advanced technology, this was not a difficult thing to do.
It was the first time in human history that a Bastion had been built on a planet!
He hoped that this battle would reveal its true strength.
He knew all too well what a Bastion meant in military terms.
"I want Admiral Lan Qing to finish the landing and take control of Monteux as soon as possible." Kang Hui ordered.
Lan Qing was, of course, aboard Middle Heaven.
He had been keeping an eye on the progress of the landing. What he didn't know was that Lan Qing had already issued orders for all of the Eastern Alliance's fleets to prepare for an all-out assault.
If the landing forces encountered a problem, the ships would open fire without hesitation.
Of course, this was only a backup plan. Lan Qing didn't think there would be any problems during the landing. His father was there to fight, after all.
If it wasn't for the fact that his father couldn't easily unleash his power, with his terrifying power of the Infinite Realm, he could destroy an entire planet all by himself.
The images on the screen changed, and the latest updates came in.
Everything was going according to plan.
"Have we found any signs of life?" Lan Qing asked Lan Jue.
"Not yet.
I have a feeling that this is a trap set up by the Raiders.
But why would they want to lure us into the planet? "
"Don't think about it too much," Lan Qing said. "What you need to do now is continue with the landing. I'll think about the rest."
"Bro.
Can you not be so cool all the time? "Lan Jue said with a smile.
Lan Qing paused. "This is a battlefield. You should call me admiral."
Lan Jue chuckled. "Relax when you need to. Once the war is over, I'll ask my father to find you a girlfriend.
You should start a family. "
Lan Qing looked at Lan Jue with a sharp glare. "Keep fighting!"
Lan Jue hung up. He was in a much better mood than before. He realized he'd been too nervous, and had forgotten something important.
Who was his brother?
Prometheus, the God of Wisdom!
If he could think of it, why couldn't he?
The situation on the battlefield was still unclear. They would have to wait until the landing was complete before the alien home worlds would reveal their true strength.
Although the aliens had invested a considerable amount of resources into the battle, there were no truly powerful creatures to be reckoned with.
True power was at the level of a Paragon.
Lan Jue was sure there was no shortage of Adepts of this caliber among the aliens.
Where were the Violet Prince and Princess?
And where were Monarch's doppelgangers that his brother-in-law had spoken of?
The absence of these alien powerhouses meant the battle had only just begun.
"Boss, there's signs of life." Lin Guo-guo said suddenly.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. "Where?"
Lin Guoguo said, "I'll lead the way." As she said that, she controlled the Golden Level Falcon to pick a direction and speed up.
Lan Jue followed close behind.
The Pharmacist and the Driver stayed behind to keep Star Division under control.
Lin Guoguo flew forward with Lan Jue in tow. She didn't need to worry about the oncoming aliens. The bolts of All-Heaven lightning were a nightmare for them, and the purple vital crystals kept coming their way.
In the distance they could make out the shape of a city.
However, the entire city seemed to have been corroded. All the buildings showed signs of collapsing, and they were all covered in a purplish-red color. It was a ghastly sight.
Lin Guo-guo clenched her jaw. "Damn bastards!" How many people could there have been in a city?!
It had been destroyed, and all of them had become food for the aliens.
A large building that looked like a cathedral came into view. "Boss," Lin Guo-guo said, "it's in there.
There are a dozen or so signs of life. I'm sure they're human. "
Lan Jue's voice was low. "Wait here, I'll go down and take a look."
"Be careful, boss," Lin Guo-guo said.
Lan Jue shook his head. "Forget it. Come with me. Put your mecha away." He didn't feel comfortable leaving Lin Guo-guo alone.
Strong aliens could appear at any moment. Staying close to him was the safest choice.
He stepped out of Thor and put his mecha away.
"Alright!" Lin Guo-guo answered. There was a flash of light, and she was out of the mecha.
She put her mecha away as well.
Lan Jue floated down to the ground, but didn't touch the ground. Instead, he hovered about a meter above the ground. Lin Guo-guo followed close behind.
Lan Jue's brows furrowed as she looked at the purple building in front of her. She spread her hands apart, and a gentle wave of energy pulled open the two corroded doors.
A foul stench wafted out from the inside.
A pale blue light radiated from Lan Jue's body, enveloping him and Lin Guo-guo.
"It's inside," Lin Guo-guo said.
Lan Jue flashed inside and entered the building.
The interior of the building was relatively intact, but the ground was also covered in a magenta carpet. The invasion of the aliens was everywhere.
Inside the church, there was a huge open space. Looking forward in the open space, there was indeed a group of humans gathered not far away.
Instinctively, they turned to look in Lan Jue and Lin Guo-guo's direction.
Were there really people alive here?
Lan Jue felt something was wrong as soon as the thought crossed his mind.
Although these people had life auras, their emotional fluctuations were too abnormal. In his perception, it could be said that these people did not have any emotions at all. This was absolutely abnormal.
Suddenly, those people lifted their feet and quickly ran towards them.
"Save us! Save us!"
They screamed, but they didn't slow down. The fungus carpet didn't seem to affect them at all.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't retreat.
The light in the church was a little dim. When these people got closer, they could see that their eyes had turned purplish red. They felt no different from humans, but they did not have any emotions.
Were they being controlled?
Could they be cured?
Just as the thought crossed Lan Jue's mind, the body of the first person to reach him began to swell.
"Boss, watch out!"
"Boom!" That person exploded, and purplish-red flesh and blood splattered in all directions.
All of it rushed towards Lan Jue.
