Chapter 104 Fierce Clash, Hatred Burns
Chapter 104 Fierce Clash, Hatred Burns
These warships are heavily armed; you need to save them! The warships immediately launched an attack, even firing two shots at Nausicaä's gunboat! Nonsense, who knows what you're here for?
"Your Highness, let's retreat! We're already under their fire!"
Nausicaä didn't answer, but instead looked at the red gunboat and murmured:
"Lasdale's brother?"
Looking at the artillery fire outside, Crotova looked at Kushana and said:
"Looks like some little bugs couldn't resist any longer!!"
As if they already knew these Pejite remnants were planning something, Crotova wasn't worried. Kushana, however, looked at the instruments with a grave expression and said coldly:
"Chief of Staff Crotova, didn't you say you were a great driver? Next time, you drive the flagship!!"
This immediately left Crotova speechless. "No, Asbel attacked the flagship, but unfortunately, Kushana wasn't inside." Crotova immediately commanded:
"Have warship number four ascend to an angle of attack with warship number two, and then deploy an air defense network behind it..."
Clearly, Crotova is no pushover. He didn't get where he is today just by talking. In crucial moments, he's the only one who can be of any use.
In fact, Nausicaä's position from the very beginning meant she couldn't escape, because if she tried to dodge, the steel cable pulling the transport ship behind her would definitely break.
Seeing this, Nausicaä could only rush towards the bottom of the spaceship, while the falling crowd crashed into the gunboat like eggs, creating a bloody scene. At the same time, the spaceship above also began to sway precariously, and if they didn't quickly pass through, they would definitely be hit.
Nausicaä had no choice but to go full throttle and narrowly avoid the falling spaceship, but an accident still occurred: the steel cable traction towing the cargo ship finally gave way and snapped.
Losing the power of the gunboat, the cargo ship began to rock and slowly descend towards the ground. Seeing this, Nausicaä realized she had done something foolish and immediately swooped down towards the cargo ship below.
"Princess, be careful! Go back quickly, don't worry about us... rise up quickly!!"
Because the cargo ship hadn't reached its maximum speed, it could still barely glide. Several old men immediately grabbed megaphones and started shouting. Actually, they had no intention of returning from this expedition. If they were to fall, they would immediately self-destruct. As long as they died successfully on the battlefield, Wind Valley could avoid being drafted next time.
But Nausicaä did not give up. She immediately turned off the noisy engine, opened her mask, and the old men panicked when they saw this.
"Princess, you'll die if you do this!!"
"Everyone calm down, listen carefully, I will definitely save you, quickly abandon the cargo! Hurry!!"
"Your Highness, please put on your mask, we'll do it!"
As she spoke, the old man behind her picked up a sack and threw it outside. Nausicaä gave them a thumbs up and smiled, immediately calming the panicked crowd.
Nausicaä immediately put on her mask, knowing she needed to find a landing spot quickly. After inhaling just a little miasma, Nausicaä felt a burning pain in her chest, as if her lungs were on fire.
Meanwhile, the Dorumechia spaceships above began their counterattack, but the enemy charged straight at the shells with exceptional agility.
"So he really is a remnant of Pejite? Your Highness, what a fish that slipped through the net!!"
Instead of making sarcastic remarks, you should think of a solution!
Sure enough, flames soon broke out on the second ship as well, and Crotova immediately panicked.
"You idiots, is this how you train? Let me do it!!"
Crotova immediately shoved the operator aside and took the pilot's position himself. With a burst of flames, the red airship was instantly surrounded by intense firepower.
"Damn it... Die!!"
The boy was not afraid and rushed towards the warship as if he were going to die, but the warship seemed to know his intention and plummeted rapidly.
Even Kushana couldn't stand and sat down on the ground, but Crotova was completely focused, her eyes fixed on the instruments.
"Haha, is that all you've got? Then let's stop here!!"
Whoosh...
The two cannons fired, and sparks immediately flew off the red airship.
"I hit him! That beast, I'll kill him!"
Seeing the enemy hit, the morale of the Dorumechia warships was greatly boosted.
"Don't yell, it's just a scratch, get ready..."
Kushana looked at Crotova in front of her as if she were seeing him for the first time, and chuckled softly:
"I didn't expect this kid to actually have some skills! I thought..."
"What do you think I am? A fool? A fool couldn't possibly climb to this position! Heh... Not bad! You actually managed to dodge my own combo!"
At this moment, Asbel, perhaps due to the protagonist's halo, had the flames on its wings immediately extinguished by the strong wind, showing no sign of falling. This health bar was not as bloated as that of the Torumekia warship.
Asbel immediately launched a counterattack, shooting down another warship, and countless more people fell to the ground in a scene of extreme brutality. Asbel, his eyes wide with astonishment, gritted his teeth and growled:
"Damn it, these people are bringing children to the battlefield!! Why would they do this..."
Asberu was immediately thrown into a panic, because his attack had just nearly cost many children their lives.
You have to admit, Kushana is ruthless! This is a Torumekian warship, not one of those allies. One side is bringing a child, and the other side is bringing an old man—they're going to war!
"Foolish! Bringing children to the battlefield! Absolutely unforgivable! These bastards!!"
Even putting aside Asbel, their enemy, even Mito's allies couldn't stand it anymore. After reducing the weight, the cargo ship's lift was enough for them to levitate in the air.
Mito never imagined that he would sacrifice his life to protect the young people of the Valley of the Wind, while Torumekia would be so heartless and insane.
Nausicaä was shocked to see this, her eyes glistening with tears. She didn't know why this was happening, and her heart collapsed instantly, overwhelmed by helplessness and despair.
"Ah...stop hitting me!!!"
Nausicaa cried out in anguish. She had never understood the meaning of this war, and now she was even more doubtful. Why did Torumekia and the Tughite Kingdom start a war? Why did she have to participate in it?
Unfortunately, war is war. It is not something we should avoid because of its cruelty. What is even more despairing is that once a war begins, it never ends according to individual will, but continues until one side's national strength is exhausted.
Anyone who plays Warcraft 3 knows that once things get heated, the Undead will start selling buildings, and their Zerglings will be brought out; the Human militia will also be deployed with their entire families. While the analogy isn't perfect, that's how war is.
Just like the War of Resistance against Japan, did you think the Japanese were easy to defeat? Driven by their ambitions, they were equally ruthless, with fourteen-year-old boys frequently going to war. Meanwhile, China during the same period was also atrocious. (Never mind, I won't add any more debuffs to your souls!)
No matter how Naussi cried out, everything was so cruel. Asbel only felt a brief moment of regret before continuing to attack his opponent.
"Raster's brother, please stop killing!!"
A voice suddenly appeared in Asbel's mind as he was attacking, startling him. Under intense emotional turmoil, Nausicaä directly used her mental power to call out to the other party.
"Who? Who are you?"
After looking around, no one came out first. Suddenly, a girl appeared in his mind, covering her face and crying. Asbel subconsciously wanted to go over to her, but Nausicaä left in the end.
"Ah!! How could this be!!"
Sensing the rapid descent of the gunboat, Asberu immediately pulled up again.
"No, no! Why are you doing this? Waaah..."
Not only Nausicaä has a kind heart, but there is another girl who does too, and that is Rastael. At this moment, she can only cry helplessly as she watches the child fall.
"Damn it, isn't this messing with me?"
Liu Yufei was furious! In his heart, human lives were just insignificant NPCs. With this thought, Liu Yufei felt much less guilty.
Regardless of the dead he had seen, and having killed countless people along the way, even as these people fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, shattering like eggs, his heart remained completely unmoved. This was, of course, a kind of callousness.
Just as he saw the children falling, Liu Yufei broke down. The power of the Gravity Fruit instantly erupted, and the children, who had been falling at breakneck speed, slowed down considerably.
Of course, because of the clouds, Lasdale couldn't see anything; all she could see was her brother's attack harming the children's lives.
"Sir, please, save those children!!"
Lasdale immediately began to plead, and Sivir next to her tried to move, but Liu Yufei held her back.
"Lasdale, it's a pity that, just like you before, these people cannot survive. This is the price of war. Do you still want to restore your kingdom?"
"Sir, you must have a way, right? You saved me back then, so you can definitely save these children now!!"
"I can't save them. I can save their lives, but I can't save their hatred. Look, that's your brother. The flames of revenge have burned his heart! There are some things you have to decide for yourself. The guardian machine you're on is fast enough to save those children, but at the same time, you can't save your brother!!"
It has to be said that Liu Yufei is really inhuman. When his own mentality was broken, he immediately started messing with Lasdale's mentality. For a moment, Lasdale was stunned. Seeing Asbel's wings catching fire again, Lasdale immediately piloted the robot and rushed down.
Upon seeing this, Sivir, standing behind, immediately began cursing in the street:
"Young Master, don't let my robot appearance fool you! I look much more human than you do right now!!"
After saying that, Sivir turned and left. Liu Yufei was immediately somewhat annoyed and said:
"Is it my fault? I didn't instigate them to fight."
