Interstellar Survival: Invasion

holes in my body.
This fellow is extremely powerful.
If we let him hide again, we won ’t be able to catch him a second time, ” objected Dodo, who had walked up behind me.
I had not noticed their arrival.

”You dumb iron head.
I had been lenient by not attacking the others earlier.
The warriors of the Wargod race never go back on their words! I won ’t stand for this insult of my honor! ” The ox-headed warrior suddenly raged after being provoked by Dodo ’s words.

I grew excited when I heard the warrior speaking.
I also decided to take a gamble.

”Withdraw the net, ” I ignored Dodo and ordered.

The three of us worked together to remove the net and withdraw it back into our suits with the net recycling system.
Halfway through the process, one of the warrior ’s hands was freed.
We only saw a flash as the fellow rapidly drew a blade and sliced through the net.
Next, it stood up with a flip of its body.

The five of us stood facing each other in deafening silence.
I tightened my grip on my gun.
If this ox-headed warrior decided to go back on his words, I would open fire without any hesitation to protect the safety of my companions.

”Are you the envoy of Akko? Why are you asking for King Carter? ” asked the ox-headed warrior.

A chance to talk finally appeared.
I would not let go of the chance.
I promptly told him the purpose of our trip.

”In other words, the interstellar war has begun? ” asked the warrior, excitement plastered all over his face.

”Yes, it has. ” I nodded.
”The casualties have been disastrous.
We urgently need the help of the Wargod race. ”

”I am a ranger from Kenante.
My name is Anxashe.
Adoka is the most valiant warrior in the history of our race.
He might have gone missing, but his glorious feats have been immortalized in our hearts.
Violent Steel is also a warrior, but unfortunately, he had been banished by the king.
Sigh, it ’s a long story, ” the warrior introduced himself.

”Warrior Anxashe, pleased to meet you.
I am Second Lieutenant Li Canyue from the 7th Armored Division of the Interstellar League ’s B Army.
They are Second Lieutenant Zhang Bao ’er and Second Lieutenant Old Du.
Dodo is our android advisor.
We are here for interstellar peace, ” I introduced the team politely.

”Your ships should stop moving.
We will be heading to Gero City on foot.
Any weapon that poses a threat will be destroyed upon approaching the city, ” reminded Anxashe.

I immediately provided a report to Captain Zhang Xingxing.
After a short while, the door of the ship opened and several individuals walked out.
Prince Arude, Prince Toruse, Principal Sosse, Baron Sisse, Master Crystal, Domo, Sarje, Titan, and Dondon walked out.
It was obvious Sarje and Titan were in charge of watching over the two princes.

”Canyue, Zhang Xingxing will stay with the 7th Armored Division.
She ordered us to accompany the two princes and visit King Carter to establish a working relationship, ” said Master Crystal.

I nodded at everyone.
We all started preparing for the journey to Gero City.
Titan suddenly approached me and handed me a familiar backpack.
I took the backpack and saw that Bulu was sleeping soundly inside.
I carried the backpack on my back.
With Bulu by my side, I felt much safer.

With Anxashe ’s lead, the group slowly advanced.
The scenery of Planet Rumble was extremely beautiful.
With the ox-headed warrior acting as a guide, I could see that some of the team members had removed their shields, greedily breathing in the planet ’s fresh air.
I also slowly removed the shield covering my face.

The sweet fresh air was brought to my face by the gentle breeze.
The high oxygen level instantly caused me to be intoxicated.
The planet ’s environment and humidity level were extremely comfortable.
Apart from the rumble every 15 minutes, this was a planet we could easily adapt to.

Anxashe walked at the very front of the group with a big banner on his shoulder.
Along the way, we encountered many rangers who removed their invisibility to greet Anxashe.
Fortunately, we had the banner serving as a signal that we were friendly.
Otherwise, I couldn ’t even imagine how many arrows we would meet on our way to the city.
We walked in the flat prairie with not even a tiny hill in sight.
The grassland seemed to stretch on indefinitely.

”We can ’t even see the end of this grassland.
How long will we take to reach Gero City? ” Zhang Bao ’er started complaining again.

”If I had known that the trip would be this far, I wouldn ’t have joined.
Look at the desolate lands around us.
It doesn ’t look like we will be able to encounter anything valuable on our way either, ” Domo also complained.

We continued walking in an unhurried manner.
After around two hours, a loud shriek sounded from the horizon.
We looked up and saw a massive bird soaring through the sky.

”Good lord.
Are all the birds here this big? It ’s as big as Blueflash and Nyx! ” exclaimed Zhang Bao ’er.

”That is the totem of the Wargod race.
It is a massive mechanical bird that will soar in the skies above Gero City forever.
The moment it stops flying is the moment the Wargod race will face the threat of extinction, ” explained Principal Sosse.

We looked at the giant bird in astonishment.
It was rather hard to imagine how a bird had become the totem of an entire race.

”Canyue, I have an odd question, ” Old Du whispered to me.

”What is it? Tell me, ” I urged Old Du.

”Principal Sosse said that the bird is flying above Gero City, but look ahead of us.
The grassland is still endless.
Is the city perhaps invisible as well? ” asked Old Du doubtfully.

That reminded me.
I instantly shifted my gaze from the bird.
Sure enough, apart from an empty grassland, I saw no sign that there was a city here.

”Principal, do you know where Gero City is? I don ’t see any city below the bird, ” I asked.

”The divine mechanical bird will not leave Gero City.
So long as it exists, Gero City will persist, ” said Principal Sosse confidently.

”But I ’m not seeing anything, ” I repeated.

”You ’ll naturally see it after entering, ” said Principal Sosse firmly.
