Chapter 1173: 1133, Battle of the First Line of Defense (2)_2 Chapter 1173: 1133, Battle of the First Line of Defense (2)_2 “Where is Manina III? Where are his people?” Su Yu was utterly astonished, “Did they retreat to the main base, or were they annihilated by Emperor Qin Shi Huang?!”
Considering the latter possibility, Su Yu was completely shocked!
No way! Could Emperor Qin Shi Huang really be that powerful?!
After all, Manina III was at the peak of God Level, how could the battle be decided so swiftly?
However, his spiritual power told him that Manina III was indeed not on the battlefield.
Disturbed by this, Su Yu accelerated his flight back to the Black Tortoise node, eager to ask his comrades what exactly had happened.
Su Yu was capable of using the “Teleportation Technique,” after all.
With just a few blinks, he was back at the Black Tortoise node.
Black Tortoise node.
It was currently the time of heaviest war pressure at the Black Tortoise node.
The Skrull people had directed the majority of their offensive force here, with the Blue Star Humans desperately defending themselves, the Dragon Abyss Quadrant Array nearly shattered by the fierce energy!
Zhong Feng, as the de facto supreme commander of the war, was also diligently working hard.
Under his command, the Blue Star side had withstood wave after wave of assaults from the Skrull people.
Yet he was far from complacent, still tirelessly focusing on the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.
Just then, Su Yu finally returned to the Black Tortoise node!
Seeing Su Yu's figure, Zhong Feng and the surrounding high-ranking Blue Star warriors all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Su Yu had finally returned! So much time had passed, they had really been afraid something unexpected had happened to Su Yu.
But thankfully, it was good that he was able to return.
Seeing Su Yu's return, Zhong Feng didn't even have time to ask about his experiences over the past half hour.
The situation on the battlefield changed in the blink of an eye, and now that Su Yu was back, there was a place where his help was immediately needed.
So, Zhong Feng quickly said to Su Yu, “Su Yu, to the northwest of our position, at coordinates (425, 124), go and provide support now!” Sensing Su Yu's eagerness, Mona added fuel to his fire.
Mona strolled leisurely through the subspace, saying, “Su Yu, the reason why I have this suggestion is, as I just said, as a mercenary, I don't want to go to the battlefield and fight to the death.
But beyond that, there is actually another important reason.”
“What reason?” Su Yu looked at her.
“That is I want to conserve my strength,” Mona turned and stared at Su Yu, her face serious, “Drac's invasion will probably come soon, and nobody can predict the exact time of his arrival.
At this point, not participating in the war and not actively consuming my own power will increase the odds of my survival in the future.
By executing this agreement with you, I'll have a proper excuse not to join the war.
What do you think of this reason?
“Hmm… I think that makes a lot of sense,” Su Yu nodded in agreement after a brief contemplation of Mona's ideas.
Not joining the battle now and preserving strength to deal with potential complications from Drac later makes sense; otherwise, if our magic is depleted here, and then Drac invades, that could indeed be very awkward.
Therefore, Su Yu nodded and said, “Alright, I accept your suggestion. In the upcoming battles, neither of us will take part.”
“Pleased to be in agreement,” Mona expressed a relieved smile.
“However…” Su Yu suddenly shifted the conversation, “But there's a small request I have before we execute the agreement, would you be willing to agree?”
“What request?” Mona blinked her intelligent golden eyes, gazing at him from across the distance.
“That is for me to have the right to dissolve the agreement at any time,” Su Yu said earnestly, “If an emergency arises, I must be able to terminate the agreement unilaterally and return to the battlefield at a moment's notice.”
He didn't want to be completely restricted by the agreement should an urgent situation arise necessitating his intervention, yet find himself unable to act because of the agreement; that was not a circumstance he wished to encounter.
At the very least, he wanted the ability to break the agreement at any time.
“That's not a problem,” Mona replied without hesitation, her smile blooming:
“The reason I made this suggestion is basically to deal with the Skrull people. If you really need to, you can absolutely break the agreement unilaterally.
However, when you break the agreement, I will also simultaneously strike against the Blue Star Humans, don't forget that,” she said.
“Understood,” Su Yu smiled, “Then it's a deal.”
With that, their agreement was officially concluded.
Mona quickly released Su Yu from the subspace.
Leaving subspace, the two returned to the battlefield.
They exchanged a glance before going their separate ways.
Su Yu was preparing to return to the Black Tortoise node now, reclaim command of the war efforts, and then focus more of his energy on directing them;
And Mona, having fulfilled the agreement, was in high spirits!
She decided to take a tour of the battlefield first.
If there was nothing urgent, she would return to the rear base camp for a long sleep!
Ha! Mona couldn't help but yawn.
Now she seemed a little sleepy again.
During his return to the Black Tortoise node, Su Yu kept surveying the surroundings of the battlefield.
In the half-hour or so since he had entered subspace, the entire battlefield had been completely shattered.
From what Su Yu could see, there was thick smoke billowing everywhere, space was torn apart by energy impacts, and there were violent purple Spiritual Energy Storms all around.
Fortunately, the Dragon Abyss Quadrant Array was still intact.
Using his spiritual power, Su Yu quickly found the four major nodes, as well as his target–the Black Tortoise node.
The Black Tortoise node was currently the scene of an intense battle between Blue Star and Skru Star.
The Skrull people were bombarding the Black Tortoise node with a barrage of fire, while the node's defenders were not to be outdone, fighting back desperately to maintain the node's defense amidst the thunderous explosions.
In the few seconds that Su Yu had emerged from subspace, he could hear several screams of Skrull people being torn apart by the counterattacks.
It was then that something suddenly caught Su Yu's attention!
The event did not occur at the Black Tortoise node he was approaching, but at the Azure Dragon node in another direction.
The Azure Dragon node had always been guarded by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Just before Su Yu entered subspace, Manina III, along with high-ranking members of Raging Sun Royal Family, had attacked the node.
According to Su Yu's estimation, it wouldn't have been surprising if the battle for this node lasted for several days.
Both Manina III and Emperor Qin Shi Huang were beings of eighth-order peak, and with Emperor Qin Shi Huang having the support of the Dragon Abyss Quadrant Array's defense, the battle between them wouldn't end so easily–it was not unusual if it lasted for days and nights.
But to Su Yu's surprise–now, it seemed that the battle at the Azure Dragon node had already ended!
He looked over at the Azure Dragon node and could see Emperor Qin Shi Huang floating more than 400 meters high in the Void, with eyes tightly shut.
Around the Emperor, within a few hundred meters radius, there was a no man's land, with no Blue Star Humans or Skrull people approaching.
As for Manina III and his followers, they had all vanished without a trace, and it was unknown where these people had gone.
Su Yu swept the battlefield with his spiritual power and did not detect Manina III or his people.
This truly surprised him!
“Where is Manina III? Where are his people?” Su Yu was astounded: “Did they retreat back to base camp, or were they annihilated by Emperor Qin Shi Huang?!”
The possibility left Su Yu completely shocked!
No way! Could Emperor Qin Shi Huang really be that formidable?!
Manina III was at the peak of God Level, how could the outcome be decided so quickly?
However, his spiritual power told him that indeed, Manina III was not on the battlefield.
Hence, Su Yu sped back to the Black Tortoise node, eager to ask his comrades what had actually happened.
Su Yu was a master of Teleportation Technique.
A few flickers and he was back at the Black Tortoise node.
The Black Tortoise node.
The current situation at the Black Tortoise node was facing the greatest pressure of the war.
The Skrull people had concentrated most of their offensive forces here, with Blue Star Humans resisting to death, the Dragon Abyss Quadrant Array almost shattered by the raging energies!
Zhong Feng, acting as the deputy commander-in-chief of the war, was also working diligently.
Under his command, the Blue Star side had withstood wave after wave of Skrull attacks.
However, he was far from slack, still actively focusing on the roles on the battlefield.
It was at this time that Su Yu finally returned to the Black Tortoise node!
Seeing Su Yu's figure, Zhong Feng and the surrounding high-ranking Blue Star warriors all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
At last, Su Yu had returned! After such a long time, they really feared something unforeseen might have happened to him.
But fortunately, as long as he could return, it was good.
Seeing Su Yu's return, Zhong Feng didn't even have time to inquire about his experiences over the past half hour.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and now that Su Yu was back, there was a place where he was immediately needed.
So, Zhong Feng quickly said to Su Yu, “Su Yu, in the northwest direction of our location, coordinates (425,124), I need you to go there and provide support right now!”
