Chapter 667: The Final Battle —— The Grand Gaia Thermal Spring
"Prime Minister Cao, let's go!" Just as the teleportation array was about to activate, Su Yu called out to Prime Minister Cao, who was still standing proudly in the sky.
"I'm coming."
Prime Minister Cao flashed to the center of the teleportation array. At the same time, he dispelled the enhancement from his sword hilt, bringing his actual power back to the late-stage Spirit Division realm.
Hum—
A silver light flickered, and the massive teleportation array vanished with the Blue Star cultivators from the sky of Mount Langue.
In the next second, they appeared above the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring.
The spatial rift above the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring was still contracting and oscillating, indicating that no more reinforcements would arrive.
The Blue Star cultivators calmly formed their battle formation in the air, preparing for the final assault on the thermal spring!
Meanwhile, at the Skrull Expeditionary Force headquarters.
The super AI, Sy Blue, switched the 3D projection from Mount Langue to Mount Gaia the moment the Blue Star cultivators were teleported.
In the projection, the Blue Star cultivators were advancing with overwhelming momentum, while the soldiers in the thermal spring, including the seventh-stage commander, looked pale and terrified.
The current situation seemed to foreshadow the inevitable fall of the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring.
Lan Qi glanced at the dark-faced Manina and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring is likely to fall. Should we have Hayden retreat with his core subordinates?"
The full name of "Hayden" was Hayden Solis, a member of the Solis Empire's royal family and the commander of the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring.
Given the current situation, it seemed that the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring could not be held, and it might be best for Hayden to abandon it and return.
Although the spatial rift was contracting and oscillating, this only restricted the Skrulls from traveling to Blue Star and did not prevent seventh-stage and below Skrulls from returning from Blue Star. Therefore, Hayden could still come back.
Manina took a deep breath and did not answer immediately. After several seconds, he slowly said, "Very well. Inform Hayden that if he cannot hold the spring, he should abandon it and return with those above the sixth stage."
"Understood." Lan Qi hurriedly went to contact Hayden.
Hayden was one of Lan Qi's teachers and had taught him many advanced techniques. Lan Qi did not want Hayden to end up as a prisoner of the Blue Star people like his brother.
During the communication, Lan Qi curiously asked Manina, "Your Majesty, there's something I don't quite understand."
"What is it?"
"Why did Lord Plante abandon the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring and go to Mount Langue? Hayden and the Grand Gaia army are our people, while Langue's Josina and the garrison there are from the Runket. Why are we sacrificing our own people?"
Lan Qi did not understand Plante's decision. If it were him, he would have sacrificed the Runket people without a second thought, preferring to save his own people.
Manina glanced at him and shook his head. "Lan Qi, this has nothing to do with whether they are our people or not. The main reason is actually related to Su Yu."
"Su Yu?"
"Exactly. Imagine this scenario," Manina stared at Su Yu's figure in the 3D projection and slowly explained. "If Lord Plante had stayed at the Grand Gaia Thermal Spring instead of going to Mount Langue, Su Yu's power would have remained intact.
After the Blue Star cultivators took Mount Langue, if they continued to the next thermal spring, say, the one at the South Pole, what would we do?"
"Well..." Lan Qi was momentarily stunned, realizing he hadn't thought that far ahead.
Manina patted his shoulder. "That's why Lord Plante had to go to Mount Langue. Only by exhausting Su Yu's mana can we temporarily alleviate the crisis."
"Apologies, Your Majesty, I didn't think that far ahead," Lan Qi said, lowering his head in shame.
As the commander of the expeditionary force, he should have foreseen this. It was a grave oversight.
"No worries, young people need to learn through experience," Manina waved off his apology, not taking it to heart.
Manina had appointed Lan Qi to the high position of expeditionary force commander not because of his exceptional military talent, but because of his remarkable potential. Lan Qi was the most gifted among the new generation of Solarians, having advanced to the Seventh Rank at a time when most of his peers were still at the Fifth Rank. His chances of becoming a God-tier warrior in the future were very high.
Because of this, Manina had taken a special interest in nurturing him.
"Shi Lan, have you connected with Hayden?" After dismissing Lan Qi, Manina refocused his attention on the Caucasus Spring.
A cold, emotionless female voice soon echoed around them, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we've been unable to establish communication. The communication lines have likely been cut by the Earthlings."
"Is that so?" Manina's heart sank.
He glanced at the 3D projection and realized that in the two minutes they had been talking, the battle above the Caucasus Spring was nearly over!
The scene returned to the Caucasus Spring.
Upon their arrival, the Earth cultivators had immediately launched a relentless and devastating attack on the spring.
This time, the situation was drastically different from the last.
The force field shield protecting the Caucasus Spring had been breached once before, seven hours ago. Such a high-level shield was not easily repaired, and after seven hours, it had only been restored to about 30% of its original strength.
The Skrull high-ranking combatants in the base had also taken significant damage in the previous battle and had not yet fully recovered. Unlike the Earth cultivators, they did not have an unlimited supply of spirit energy canisters.
With the Skrull forces weakened, the Earth cultivators' offensive was just as fierce, if not more so!
Prime Minister Cao had now fully recovered to his peak Eighth Rank, and his overall output was at least three times higher than before!
Su Yu, Alia, and Morning Star had all expended a great deal of mana and were reluctant to use the extremely expensive Master-level Mana Recovery Potions. However, at the beginning of the plan, Su Yu had advised them to save some of their ultimate moves.
Su Yu's equipment came with powerful ultimate skills like "Summon Wind Elemental Lord," "Summon Arcane Puppet," "Moon Goddess Summon," and "Elemental Annihilation," all of which had long cooldowns and did not require mana consumption.
Alia, the most powerful human in the game world, had even more formidable equipment than Su Yu, with many additional powerful skills.
Now, these ultimate moves were unleashed, and the powerful summoned creatures and devastating spells bombarded the force field shield. Combined with the explosive power of Prime Minister Cao and the other high-ranking cultivators, the shield was on the verge of collapse within just two minutes!
The Skrull soldiers and high-ranking combatants in the base all had pale faces.
They knew that reinforcements were impossible, and the force field shield was about to be breached again. The spring would soon fall into the hands of the Earthlings, and that was a certainty.
For the ordinary Skrull soldiers, there were only two options: surrender or fight to the death.
For the Skrull high-ranking combatants, there was an additional choice: should they try to escape now?
If they attempted to flee now, Seventh Rank Hayden Solarian might succeed in escaping, but anyone below the Sixth Rank would be left to their fate.
