Somewhere in the Alpha Starfield, ripples like water waves suddenly appeared in the void. Almost at the same time as the ripples appeared, a strangely shaped Trident warship emerged out of thin air. Immediately afterwards, one after another, 340 beautifully crafted and luxurious golden Roman warships poured out, jumping from subspace to normal space in the Alpha Starfield.
The Roman warships, clearly divided into nine small fleets, did not linger for long. With their plasma engines spewing out kilometer-long blue flames, the warships sped forward at high sub-light speeds.
The warship swept across the outer space of Alpha One, thousands of thick beams of light silently and quietly scanned down from the fleet, and the mining area of Donau River Company was reduced to nothing in a burst of strong light. Dozens of satellites outside Alpha One were directly destroyed by the warship, and the firelight produced by the satellite explosion was still spreading in the dark space, while the Roman warship had already plunged into a meteor shower.
A thick layer of energy shields several meters in diameter flickered outside the Roman warship, and various celestial hazards in the meteor shower were extremely difficult to cause significant damage to the Roman warship with its energy shield fully activated. The Roman warship charged straight towards the wormhole of Tianlangxing in a straight line, and it only took them a few hours to arrive at the edge of the wormhole.
Four heavy patrol boats and eight high-speed assault boats are drifting near the wormhole, with a six-winged skull emblem indicating that these are ships of the Hell's Angels mercenary corps.
The vanguard of the Trident warship did not send out any signals, when its radar scanned this small fleet, thirty-six high-speed missiles had been launched from the bow launch chamber, and thirty-six sharp beams of light rushed towards the twelve small ships. Twelve groups of flames burst in space, four heavy patrol boats and eight high-speed assault boats were annihilated. Dozens of beams of light crossed the sky, several communication satellites near the wormhole were smashed to pieces, and the Roman fleet swarmed up and squeezed through the wormhole.
Like a pack of wild dogs fighting for food, the Roman fleet rushed to Heaven's Star in a frantic manner, following the intelligence transmitted by the advance reconnaissance ship. Just as they were about to enter the atmosphere of Heaven's Star, all warships suddenly stopped. Waves of scanning pulses poured towards the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps' forward base, and the massive metal signals in the feedback signals made the Romans' heartbeats accelerate sharply.
The Romanians sent a communication wave to the Hell's Angel Mercenary Corps' advance base, and both parties' communicators quickly connected.
A light screen lit up inside the command center of the forward base, and a group of young Roman elites including Polukhin appeared on the screen.
Kuya Dust's morning light curtain, Polukin and others clasped their hands, he chuckled: "You all came so quickly!"
"Is it you? Evil Dragon! You're dead for sure this time!" Taking a deep breath, Poll Port shouted loudly: "I order..."
"Porukin's unpleasant bellow: "Polport, it's not your turn to give orders here! You've lost face yourself, are you going to drag us down with you? Have you forgotten the traditions of Rome?"
Borbert's face turned iron-green, and the other eight members of the Elector family burst out laughing at the same time.
Gu Xie dusted off his mouth and smiled: "I remembered, indeed, the great Roman has a unique war tradition, so let's follow the rules."
Three hours later, in front of the main gate of the forward base, two kilometers away, Gu Xiechen had a delicate platform set up, with a height of several meters. The platform, which was over 30 meters long and wide, was made of white wooden boards, each of which was engraved with beautiful patterns of insects, fish, birds, and beasts using laser technology. Overall, the platform had a very romantic style, which was in line with their aesthetic views.
On the platform was placed a long table in accordance with the golden ratio, made of precious red wood, on which were also carved complex and beautiful patterns. On one side of the long table sat a Taishi chair, and Gu Xianchen sat upright on the Taishi chair. Beside him stood eight girls wearing cyan robes, born with beauty, flitting about like butterflies, constantly bringing Gu Xianchen freshly brewed fragrant tea, sweet wild fruits, and various exquisite pastries.
Saren gazed out at the eight puppets with a mixture of nostalgia and pride, "These eight puppets are my masterpiece! The chest is the chest, the buttocks are the buttocks, the face is the face! Tsk, as for these... they're simply an insult to me personally!" Saren turned his head back, giving a stern glance at the several guards standing behind him - all of whom were tall and muscular, with shaved heads.
Hell Angel Mercenary Corps' second main combat team leader, Holm, was currently lying down less than 500 meters away from the luxurious platform where Gu Xianchen was. In front of him was a modified 30mm caliber Gatling sniper rifle, with a large ammunition box firmly fixed to the tree branch beside him. On the long bullet belt, every two high-explosive electromagnetic bullets were followed by three specially-made armor-piercing bullets, and then three ultra-high-speed kinetic energy bullets. This combination of bullet belts had been proven in actual combat to have the best lethality against the Roman's energy armor.
Below Hom, the first sniper of the Hell's Angel Mercenary Corps, Shinji crouched on the ground, fiddling with a 120mm high-energy cannon in his hands. A thick energy transmission line extended from the rear of the barrel, connecting to a massive reserve energy box behind Shinji. This custom-made energy box weighed twenty tons and could supply this powerful high-energy cannon with nearly a thousand high-energy particle streams in continuous fire, possessing extremely terrifying killing power and continuous firepower.
"This is an insult to the profession of a sniper!" Hom glared at Xin Jia, complaining in the same tone as Sai Ren. A sniper should be a mysterious figure who ends the enemy's life with one bullet at the most critical moment. Gu Xie dust letting Xin Jia, this violent guy, carry a high-energy cannon to serve as Hom's sniper assistant is an insult to snipers. This guy should go to the front line and take on an enhanced armored brigade alone!
The Roman fleet slowly flew over from high altitude towards the direction where Gu Xiechen was, and finally stopped in the high altitude twenty kilometers away. Twenty-seven small transport boats flew out of these warships, slowly flying towards Gu Xiechen, and landed on the ground less than a kilometer away from Gu Xiechen.
Young elites from the nine elector families of the Romans, including Borukin, Yakkin and Polport, walked out of the transport boat one after another. More than a thousand high-ranking Roman warriors also stepped out quickly, dispersing cautiously in all directions and forming a tight defensive circle around Borukin, Yakkin and others.
Dozens of golden, crescent-shaped fighter jets shot out from the Roman warship, proudly flying over Gu Xianchen's head, whipping up a fierce gust of wind that nearly sent the teacup in front of him flying.
Fighter planes circled in the sky above, while Polukhin and others walked slowly towards the platform where Guxiaocheng was, with a slightly stiff and formal gait.
Looking at this group of elegant Roman nobles, Gu Xié Dén coldly smiled a few times. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then stood up when Polukin and the others walked onto the platform.
"Stop beating around the bush and state your conditions!" Gu Xiachen got straight to the point.
Borukin proudly pulled out a golden file from his sleeve, with a beautiful bow tied on it with golden silk. With the elegant movement unique to Romans, he gently tossed the file onto the table, and it slid forward for a short distance before stopping right in front of Gu Xuan.
Borukin said faintly, "In the name of the Roman First Imperial Family, if you surrender and offer me your forward base, I can grant you the highest honor - you can become our family's vassal warriors."
Gu Xie shook his head: "This condition is not good, you are simply joking."
"Yakou coldly sneered: 'If you don't agree, then we'll annihilate you!'"
"Those foolish Earthlings will never surrender," Borpport shouted. "A war of annihilation is the best lesson for them!"
Gu Xie Chen simply shook his head, skillfully tearing open the golden official document's ribbon, pulling out a pen. Gu Xie Chen unfolded the document and signed his name and position at the end - First Deputy Commander of the Earth Federation Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, Xie Long Gu Xie Chen!
Porport smiled, pursing his lips. Porukin and Yakkin let out a disappointed sigh, and Porukin said with emotion: "So you're saying you want to go to war with us? You've signed our formal declaration of war, this means war! Are you certain you want to go to war with the Roman fleet, which has 340 first-class battleships?"
"Guxia Dust nodded and said, 'I'm sure!' A thread of cold air slowly condensed at the tip of Guxia Dust's finger, and the Snow Corpse Seal was quietly generated in the meridian of his right arm."
"Then I have a question," Jacques sighed. "We lost contact with our advance scouts three days ago... What about..."
Koxinga smiled, and frankly admitted: "It is we who have captured them. Of course, we observe the Bill of Rights; we have not maltreated them, but you cannot see them now. If you can defeat us, then you will naturally be able to rescue them. If you are unable to defeat us, then you may ransom them!"
Porukin stared stiffly at Gu Xiechen, and after a long time, he slowly reached out to take the golden file on the table. Porukin said dryly: "You refused the olive branch extended by the Roman First Imperial Family, you chose war? Then I will grant you war! Three hours later, we will launch a full-scale attack!"
Gu Xie let out a deep sigh, and everyone who saw this scene through various monitors also sighed at the same time.
Stiff and conservative Romman, they declared war in such a 'fair and square' manner. Having fought with the Earthlings for hundreds of years, can't they learn from their mistakes? Otherwise, with their technology far surpassing that of the Earth Federation, how could they still be frequently outsmarted by the Earth Federation?
To start a war, just drive your battleship over and blast away. Why bother adhering to these traditional ways?
Borukin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Guxiaocheng's signature, suddenly Borukin was stunned: "This, what is this? Hell Angel Mercenary Corps? Eh, aren't you the commander of the Tianlang Star Independent Army?"
He laughed loudly and said: "My identity is just a mercenary! Mercenary!"
A long table made of red wood suddenly flew up, and the violent claw ripped through the table, with countless wooden chips flying everywhere. Dozens of Snow Spirit claws pounced on Borujin and other Romans. Gu Xiechen laughed wildly: "I am a mercenary, mercenaries don't have to follow any rules! I have the right to attack all Romans in my line of sight!"
Yes, mercenaries don't have to follow all the rules. Since they signed a battle contract, both sides are in a state of war, and Gu Xie Chen has 100% reason to take action on the spot.
Facing thousands of Roman elite warriors, facing the cream of the crop of the nine imperial families of Rome, facing these Roman elites with immense spiritual power cultivation, Gu Xiechen made his move!
Porukin, Yakkin, and Polport's golden eyes flashed with a strong blue light at the same time as they stood in front of Gu Xiechen. Three powerful spiritual impacts shot towards Gu Xiechen. The three had contemptuous sneers on their faces, and Polport even laughed maniacally: "We've long been prepared for you ugly, filthy mercenaries to use this despicable method to insult our Roman tradition! You're dead for sure!"
The eight girls around Gu Xian's body rushed forward at the same time, and they simultaneously let out shrill cries: "Long live the master!"
The eight eerie electromagnetic howls shook people's eardrums in agony, the electromagnetic bombs tied to the bodies of the eight girls exploded, and the powerful electromagnetic field distorted the mental shock emitted by Roman. Borukin, Yakokin, and Porport were knocked back by the impact of the electromagnetic bomb explosion, their mental shock weakened by more than 50%.
A stream of green light burst out from the sleeve, and the Taoist crown hidden in his sleeve was rapidly surging with clouds and mist. The green light enveloped Gu Xie Chen's entire body, and the spiritual impact of Boluojin's three people fiercely crashed onto this thin layer of green light, but their spiritual impact seemed to crash into an iron plate, completely unable to harm Gu Xie Chen in the slightest.
Dozens of sharp claws slammed into the bodies of Borukin and his two companions, their thick blue energy shields suddenly darkening. Gu Xie Chen had already pounced forward, his double claws ignoring the energy shields on Borukin and Yakov's bodies, pressing heavily onto the two men. Even alloy steel would be melted by the energy field that emitted flashes of electricity, but the pale white light emanating from Gu Xie Chen's gloves rendered the heavy energy shield useless against his double claws.
"Ka-cha!" Two crisp sounds, Gu Xiechen's double claws pressed against the chest of Borukin and Yakokin. Their thick energy armor made of special alloy was silently cut open with two palm-shaped holes, Gu Xiechen's claw strength suddenly surged, and the cold, bone-piercing, and unstoppable Snow God's aura wildly poured into the bodies of the two men. The brothers' ribs were instantly shattered in a large area, and even their internal organs suffered severe damage.
Borukin and Yakkin spat out golden blood from their seven orifices, screaming "Save us!" as they retreated in disarray. They stared at Gu Xiechen in shock, unable to comprehend how he had so easily crushed the latest generation of energy armor worn by the Roman Empire's top imperial family's second and third sons. As members of the first imperial family, their energy armor was supposed to be able to withstand a full-power blast from a secondary warship's main cannon! Had Gu Xiechen's cultivation reached such a level? Was his palm strike comparable to a secondary warship's main cannon?
With a look of terror, the two Borukhin brothers, over three meters tall, took extremely fast steps and in just two or three strides, they fled into the midst of the first imperial family's clan warriors.
Kuya didn't go after Polkin and Yakovkin; his attention was focused on the flustered Porportuk.
At the same time, a claw was pressed on Bort's chest, and the heavy claw force crushed Bort's ribs into powder. Gu Xiechen's claw tore apart the energy core of Bort's armor, and the armor lost its energy supply, instantly dimming its light. The thick energy shield dissipated into tiny sparks. With a sweep of his foot, Gu Xiechen kicked off both of Bort's legs, then grabbed Bort's neck and lifted him up, running backwards with him.
Dao robe, crane cloak on the clear wind rolled, Gu Xie dust toe tip lightly touched was over a hundred meters away, lightly jumped was over two hundred meters, several flashes of movement, Gu Xie dust had run into the forward base.
Right behind Bolport, Dukate Holm let out a cold hum as his muscles bulged violently. Just as he was about to deliver a full-force punch at Gu Xiechen, who had grabbed Bolport's neck, dozens of high-caliber bullets with terrifying kinetic energy shot towards him. The electromagnetic shells exploded on his body, rapidly weakening the energy shield of his power armor; the powerful armor-piercing rounds made sparks fly from his armor as it was hit, and the ultra-high-speed kinetic rounds even shook Dukate Holm to the point where he almost spat blood.
Ducate Holworn hastily retreated, soon withdrawing into the protective circle of his family's warriors. He gazed in terror at the pockmarked energy armor on his body; if he hadn't personally modified this suit, he feared he would have been blown to a pulp.
In the dense forest, bullets kept coming, and more than a dozen Roman warriors were pierced through their bodies by the sudden attack.
Dozens of Roman aircraft in the sky just reacted, and the Roman pilots frantically opened fire on Gu Xiechen. The same high-energy beams chased after Gu Xiechen's buttocks, blasting countless deep pits into the ground behind him.
These fighters hadn't fired a few shots when Holzurm's warship had already launched a salvo that sent these planes exploding in mid-air.
A frantic signal echoed through the Roman fleet: "Do not attack, do not attack, Lord Boleport has been taken prisoner by them!"
The massive Roman fleet descended rapidly, and the flustered Polkin, Yakovkin, etc. hastily escaped onto the transport boat, and they hurriedly returned to the warship.
The Romans never dreamed that, with over 300 Roman first-class warships, with thousands of high-ranking Roman warriors, and with dozens of Roman fighter planes hovering above their heads, Gu Xie would actually make a move! He actually dared to take action! And, he actually captured Boluo Bo successfully!
The energy armor that the Romans took pride in was nothing in front of Gu Xuan. Borukin and Yakokin were seriously injured, and Polport was captured alive. Before the war even started, they had already lost a high-ranking general. This was a loss of face that went all the way back to their home! In the past, such a thing had never happened before. Even when the Romans declared formal war on the Earth Federation and sent them a declaration of war, there had never been an incident where envoys were captured.
Borukin and others were in a state of great confusion, while Kujaku Jin and others had their morale boosted.
The Roman warship flew directly over the forward base and hovered, with communication waves constantly transmitting their demands for the return of Polport.
Koxinga agreed to the Roman's demand for the return of Borbott and the three Roman scouts, but he asked a price that was absolutely heartbreaking for the Romans.
Apart from the Zakula energy crystal, Guxiaodun demanded that the Romans provide two hundred energy cannons of various calibers; otherwise, he would brutally slaughter Polport in front of all the Romans!
Massacre, this is also the privilege of mercenaries, lawless mercenaries simply ignore the laws of the Earth Federation. If they were replaced by a regular army of the Earth Federation, they would absolutely not be able to do such things. Only mercenaries can act so recklessly. Gu Xie Chen was really satisfied with his signature on the war book, as long as he insisted on being the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps, he could do many things that others couldn't, nothing was better than this.
An hour after Pol Port was captured, he and three other Romans were ransomed back, the commander of the Holsum fleet handed over two hundred energy cannons of various calibers to Guxiaochen.
All energy cannons were immediately placed on the firepower of the forward base by Gu Xie Dust.
The Roman attack was immediately launched.
