“silverfish?”

In the wilderness, scavengers were driving one armored vehicle after another, rolling up yellow sand.

Many years ago, they were besieged by the federals in this place and suffered heavy losses.

Now, they have once again started a war against the Federals here. The difference is that this time they are not bandits, but the righteous army representing the kingdom.

“That skyship is flying too damn high,” Silverfish shouted on the communication channel. “Bull, did you see it?”

“I saw it!” The bull’s loud voice said, “It’s okay. Even if it’s the sky, I’ll help you climb up.”

The scavengers’ armored vehicles sped across the gravel-covered plain. Unlike the regular army’s restrained march, they still retained some of the scavengers’ barbaric tactics.

Blast after bout of artillery fire was fired into the sky. Some of them failed to hit the sky ship at all, while others hit the factor shield of the sky ship.

Seeing the army approaching, the “Aston” and “Conquest” began to retreat, gradually moving away from the battlefield.

“We scared those bastards away?” came the voice of the termite.

“No,” Pace shook his head, “They’re clearing the place.”

What hindered the Tower of Babel from playing a role here was the federal army deployed on the Aston Plains.

If these troops were to retreat, it would mean that the federals were about to use their most powerful weapon to end the war—

——【Tower of Babel】is about to light up on the horizon again.

“Call Evans Monarch,” Pace shouted in the channel, “[Infinite Steel Legion] The First, Second, and Fifth Legions immediately march through the gravel hills and attack the Aston Plains! This is our only chance! We must win!”

“Here you go, kid. I’m getting bored of waiting,” came Evans’s rough voice. “Don’t worry, the federals will soon feel the mountain people’s wrath.”

After giving the order, the [Armored Train] braked quickly and began to move towards Aston Plains.

What Pace said was not an exaggeration at all – if the federals began to clear the area, it would mean that the Tower of Babel was shifting its target from Qilang on the other side to the Admir continent, and the federals no longer needed airships as a means of defense and offense.

The only chance was to capture Aston Plain before then and get closer to the Iron Curtain.

The offensive of the Kingdom of Itlan in the north was obviously about to begin. If Pace guessed correctly, Achilles was just the beginning of William III’s plan.

The Dila Empire in the East could start taking action at any time. [Canghuang] deployed all of Dila’s fleets in the eastern ocean. This could not be a compromise, but only an attempt to avoid something.

The second war against the tower has begun.

This also means that the situation on the other side has entered its final stage.

“…”

Pace looked towards the east. It was as if his sight had crossed over the storm in the eastern ocean at this moment, looking at the black current land that he had never seen with his own eyes:

“Little princess, you must come back,” he murmured in a low voice, “I still owe you a venison feast…”

……

15) Eye in the Sky (Part 6) – 4k chapter –

“what!”

Saya let out a scream, then raised her head sharply, and the morning light, which was pouring in like a tide, filled her vision.

After ten hours of monitoring, she wanted to take a short break, but a voice from afar woke her up –

“It’s the Lord of the Black Tide! I heard it!”

Saya yelled, trying to get out of the driver’s seat of the [Turtle] in a panic, but a big hand pressed down on her shoulder:

“Calm down,” it was Buriged, “Tell me the coordinates, and I will report them to the Inverted Sword immediately.”

“Okay… okay… the coordinates… the coordinates are…”

Saya raised her head, looked at the ceiling of the Tortoise’s cab, and whispered out numbers one after another.

At this moment, in the low-Earth orbit where her sight was pointing, Perlis and Carly were standing in the space-based weapons and ammunition storage warehouse, staring at the giant columnar crystal bars directly produced by the [Creator Engine].

“I remember Carly told me before that the reason why space-based weapons are difficult to realize is the cost-effectiveness issue,” Perlis whispered, “Whether it is the cost of sending ammunition into low-Earth orbit or the materials needed to manufacture ammunition, they are far less than conventional weapons.”

“Yes,” Kali looked at the Sky Foundation Pillar, “but the Hafurgard solved the problem.”

“Is this another [Tower of Babel]?” Perlis murmured, “[Creator Engine]… [Tower of Babel Core]… All of this comes from the Hafurgard tribe…”

“Remember what I told you before? It’s not a smart thing to do to waste your time like this,” Carly reminded.

“I didn’t blame myself, or Havrgard,” Perlis shook her head, “but… I suddenly had the same idea as my mother…”

Is there really any point in saving these people who are killing each other?

Even if there is no [Tower of Babel] in this world, even if the [Hanging Sword] is destroyed after the war, will there no longer be any wars among human beings?

Pearls obviously knew the answer.

However, this was not a question she needed to think about. The human race as a whole could never be changed by a few people, even for Laplace – he was pushed to that position, representing the will of a group of people, representing a part of the human race.

Without Laplace, there would be others standing in this position, and the tide of history cannot be reversed.

Pearlis just felt sad.

Spanning nineteen years, her figure seemed to overlap with Halle and Laleigh’s – in low-Earth orbit, gazing at the vast and tiny dust stars.

“It’s almost time.”

Perlis whispered as she tore open the crack, dragged out the [Broken Star], and let it float slowly in front of her.

She reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, twisting it gently, and the blade of [Star Shattering] shattered and floated towards the crystal column not far away.

“Buzzing…”

Perlis used the power of the [Creator Engine] to reshape the celestial pillar, and the fragments of the [Shattered Star] also flew in. They were instantly submerged in a red light, and their shapes continued to blend.

By the time the light faded, the blade of [Star Shatter] had completely absorbed the Sky Foundation Pillar and turned into a slender silver blade that was twenty-five meters long and five meters wide.

The blade was covered with strange patterns, with a faint red light flowing through it, emitting a sacred and eerie aura.

This is the real [Inverted Sword], a sharp sword that pierces from the sky to the ground and towards the [Lord of the Black Tide].

According to Coles Hafgard, this was the only creature that could kill him.

“…”

Perlis gently waved the hilt of the sword in her hand, and the sword entered the launch chamber of the [Inverted Sword] along with the other twenty-five crystal columns, aiming at the ground.

The launch bay was honeycomb-shaped, much like the magazine of Carly’s [Steam Revolver], and could hold 27 rounds of space-based columns at a time. All the space-based columns that had been transported up had been installed, leaving only one empty magazine in the center.

That is the location of Perlis. She will be launched together with the [Star Crusher] and fall to the ground from low-Earth orbit.

“Are you sure this is okay?”

Carly looked at Pearlis with some worry. She had asked the same question five or six times since Pearlis proposed the plan.

It’s not Carly’s fault for being nagging. After all, few people in this world would come up with such a terrifying idea: launching a person as ammunition from low-Earth orbit and hitting the ground.

“This is the fastest way to reach the battlefield with the [Shattered Star],” Perlis said, “If I want to control the [Shattered Star], I can’t be too far away from it.”

“I’m beginning to think this is a bad idea,” Carly sighed.

She recalled the crazy plan proposed by her junior classmate Grace in La Vatino: stuff Perlis into the [Sentry Tower] and then send it to the battlefield.

At that time, she was afraid that the little white flower would be lost and not be found. But this time it was not just a matter of losing it. No matter how strong Perlis’s body was, if she was launched at this speed, she would be ground into dust when she entered the atmosphere.

“Although the concentration of factor energy in low-Earth orbit is indeed very high, theoretically it can ensure that you will always be protected by the factor shield after entering the atmosphere…” Carly once again calculated with the help of [Skyline], “But if there is any mistake… then…”

“I told you, I can enter the [Upper Realm],” Perlis said, “Nothing can hurt me.”

“You don’t keep your word.” Carly was still worried.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, trust me.”

Pearlis smiled softly, she grabbed one of Carly’s hands and held it tightly.

Looking at her smile, Carly could only sigh helplessly and said:

“I have added a command module to your [Sea of ​​Poetry]. When you fire it, all the ammunition will be fired at once. After entering the atmosphere, you can change the landing point of these ammunition and hit the position of the Kuroshio army.”

“Well, I know that Shaya’s hearing is not accurate enough to accurately determine the location of all the Black Tide followers,” Perlis nodded, “Leave it to me.”

“The coordinates have been sent,” Carly’s voice became much quieter, “Soon, the Lord of the Black Tide will reach the Great Wall…”

“Um…”

“We have to be apart for a while again…”

“It won’t take long this time,” Perlis said seriously, “We are fully prepared. If everything goes well, the suffering of the Lord of the Black Tide will soon end.”

“But… it’s far…”

I don’t know if it was Perlis’s hallucination, but tears suddenly welled up in Carly’s ice-blue eyes for no reason. She turned her back and looked at the analysis screen of [Skyline], and said in a low voice:

“Little White Flower, remember what I said before? Give me a month. Whether I go to Hillster or Wilkin, I will have a month of rest. Little White Flower will only belong to me.”

“I can always belong to you alone,” Perlis said seriously, and then her cheeks turned red. “Well… that… but we can’t… we can’t really be just the two of us, right? How boring a world with just the two of us would be. We still have many friends, such as Young Master… Ashlia… Aoi… Rei… Miss Ayane… Grissom… Mei… Rein… Grace… many, many more…”

Carly didn’t hear the second half of what Perlis said, she only heard the first half: “I can always belong to you alone.”

“Ha ha…”

Carly wiped her face, turned around, and handed something to Perlis——

——It was a ring, a [Blood Diamond] on Carly’s index finger.

“Put it on, I’ll feel more at ease,” Carly said, “This will give you more redstone energy storage, it’s always a safety precaution.”

“What about Carly?” asked Perlis.

“I’m not in any danger here. Qi Lang’s research team and security team are already here. Facility Zero is also very secure. There’s no chance that the enemy will invade it,” Carly said fluently. “Put it on. I’ll feel more at ease.”

Perlis originally wanted to say that this red stone was not much of a benefit to her, at most it was just a bonus, and it would be more useful to give it to Carly. Before she could say it, she saw the stubborn light in Carly’s eyes, and could only sigh softly:

“Ah.”

Perlis put the ring on her index finger, but Carly quickly floated in front of her and grabbed her hand:

“You’re wearing it wrong. It shouldn’t be on your index finger.”

“Huh? But I see you wear it on your index finger?” Pearlis felt very strange.

Carly quickly took the [Blood Diamond] off Perlis’s index finger, gently grabbed her wrist, and then put the ring on her ring finger.

“Well, that’s much better.” She smiled softly, then stepped back and looked at Pearlis with a smile.

Perlis looked at the beautiful red stone, then at the satisfaction on Carly’s face, and felt extremely confused.

Is there any difference between wearing a ring on the index finger and the ring finger?

Could it be that Carly was afraid that the ring would get in the way when I was swinging my weapon? That makes sense…it does feel much more comfortable to wear it on my ring finger.

While admiring Carly’s thoughtfulness, Perlis smiled at her:

“Carly is so nice.”

Seeing Perlis’ smile, Carly also smiled contentedly, then gently hugged Perlis and kissed her on the forehead:

“Goodbye, my little white flower. The road ahead is very dangerous. You must take good care of yourself when you are alone.”

At the same time, an alarm sounded from the main control hall, and the voice of scientist Qi Lang rang through Carly’s headset:

“Dr. Filos! The vanguard of the Lord of the Dark Tide has been spotted by the East Great Wall! We need you to take command.”

“No problem,” Carly responded, then looked at Perlis, “Go, little white flower.”

“Ah.”

Perlis hugged Carly, then turned and left, going into the ammunition compartment of the [Inverted Sword].

Darkness enveloped Perlis’s vision. She created a powerful factor field around herself, locking in enough oxygen. At the same time, she established a connection with the [upper realm] to ensure that she could escape in time if something went wrong.

The hatch closed, and Perlis was immersed in the weightless darkness. She contracted her senses, the walls of the magazine around her disappeared, and she seemed to be in the dark universe.

This was the highest altitude Perlis had ever reached, the true edge of the world, but she knew that the universe was more than this. Her mother had come all the way here from farther away, tearing apart the moon, quickly passing the stars in low-Earth orbit, and plunging into the endless sea of ​​clouds on Ursa.

She imagined how Hallilali felt at the time – what would it be like? Coming from a distant world to a strange land, fighting with people who were once her own blood relatives, fighting to the death.

Perlis is about to do the same thing.

“…”

A faint trembling sound broke the darkness. Perlis knew that this was the [Inverted Sword] calibrating its orbit and the war was about to begin.

She felt a little nervous, so she took a deep breath, and a pair of ice-blue eyes appeared in the endless darkness in her mind.
