Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 174: The Sword as the Country
Why would the First King appear here?
No one knows better than Qinghua that the first king now only has one brain left and can only rely on the company's technology to hang on to life.
The strongest man in the past could only meet the end of his life in such a humiliating way.

His body was taken over by the company, and after a complete anatomical study, an armor called Black Steel was born. This is a perfect armor created based on swordsmanship, and it is also one of the earliest armors compiled by "Changzhi". After hundreds of years of baptism, there have been five successors, each of whom is a powerful man who shakes the world.

This is the company's wake-up call for the planet.

While giving, you are also taking away.

Qinghua didn't know where the feeling of panic came from. According to the company's records of this planet, even if the First King regained his glory, he would not be a match for Heigang.

Needless to say, there were three Long Branch guards present at the moment.

In this vast universe, no one can defeat the three Long Branch Guards at the same time. This should be a one-sided battle.

"Director, please return to the flagship immediately."

Konoe's words once again made Qinghua's uneasiness worse.

Because this means that even if they are three against one, they are not confident enough to easily defeat the First King - this is obviously inconsistent with the company's intelligence!

However, each of the Long Branch Guards is the strongest person selected from each planet. Compared with intelligence and data, they believe more in their innate fighting instincts.

Thinking of this, Qinghua suddenly understood.

What kind of situation would make them feel so threatened?
Only when fighting against the "Cocoon", after all, the armor they wear is born to clean up the cancerous planet.

The beam of light shining down from above the flagship enveloped them, but unlike those monsters that were completely corrupted and driven only by instinct, the First King did not launch a surprise attack on him. He stood under the stone steps, calmly waiting for the bodies of Qinghua and other messengers to dissolve in the beam of light.

Seeing Qinghua and others evacuate safely, the "Nagaeda" guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were also shrouded in unknown uneasiness.

They sensed a familiar aura from the First King, but his mental state was too normal.

The last scene Qinghua saw was three people’s armor operating at the same time, attacking the First King from three directions.

This is no longer a war to establish authority in the court and the people of this planet, but a war to eradicate "Cocoon". The three "Nagaeda" guards attacked at the same time, and the aftermath of the battle would raze the entire city to the ground.

He thought of Duan Mingyuan, the person who was suspected to be a transcendent being.

The appearance of the first king is closely related to him.

As soon as he returned to the flagship, Qinghua quickly walked towards the strategic command center. He didn't want to miss any details that followed.

"How's the battle going?"

He asked anxiously the moment the door of the strategic command center opened.

The only response he got was dead silence. Upon hearing his question, the members of the Strategic Command Center just turned around and stared at him in a daze.

Just now, they witnessed a scene that they could not understand, and their minds suddenly went into a state of shutdown.

Qinghua walked quickly to the command desk and saw the scene in the royal city on the screen.

That was the last of the Long Branch Guards, and the power of the propulsion device was pushed to the extreme, just to escape the sword formation and retreat to the flagship.

"quick--"

Before Qinghua could utter a complete sentence and convey the order of "quick response", a cold light pierced through the heart of the armor. The cold light was connected to the chain, and under the tearing of the chain, the body of the "Changzhi" guard suddenly fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The flying sword crashed into the building and nailed the guard's body to it.

The locked screen was brought back to the "mortal world" from the clouds. The three "Long Branch" guards were nailed to the tower in the same way. They held the chains tightly with both hands, but could not break free at all.

Qinghua looked at the scene in the royal city, and it all seemed like an absurd dream.

How long had it been since he returned to the flagship?
Three minutes, or less?
The guard that the company was so proud of couldn't even last three minutes?
Even when exploring planets that have been classified as death stars by the company, such a situation would never occur!
Qinghua could no longer remain calm. Even though he was the director of the Coordination Department of Space Relations, he could not escape blame for the loss of three Long Branch guards and a substitute on a planet.

He looked at the chains floating in the air and the sword formation that encircled the entire city, and suddenly felt that this dead planet had come alive at this moment. The flying swords and chains seemed to be given life.

Qinghua suddenly remembered a rumor circulating in the department that took over the First King's body. Some people thought that the First King had another trick up his sleeve. Until the end of the war, they were unable to witness the ultimate sword-wielding technique, which was a great pity.

And now, hundreds of years later, he saw it.

Qinghua saw that the First King was still standing at the stone steps in front of the hall. During the battle with the three "Long Branch" guards, the latter had not even moved a step.

The first king did not need to move, because wherever the blade reached was his kingdom.

"Director, what should we do now? Should we report this to headquarters?"

Finally someone asked.

"'Cocoon', this planet has been corrupted, destroy the surface of this planet!"

"But teacher, the use of star destroyer weapons requires reporting to headquarters, which is against the procedure."

Cai Hui reminded quickly.

She had not yet reached the point of losing her mind, and compared to the real Death Star battlefield that she knew, there was something strange about the First King.

Even more powerful, but after defeating the guards of "Nagaeda", he did not immediately take their lives.

Her dissuasion was interrupted by Qinghua's slamming of the table, "Do as I say!"

No one in the strategic command center spoke out to refute, and deathly silence enveloped them, even though they knew that this might not be the conclusion reached after rational analysis.

The loss of three "Long Branch" guards at once has made Qinghua lose his mind. If this matter is known by the headquarters, it will not be long before Qinghua loses his position as director and may even be held accountable by the inspection department.

But now, he can still exercise the power of director.

This includes the right to use star destroyer weapons.

According to company regulations, in an emergency, the director has the right to deploy all flagship weapons.

Just one command can decide the fate of countless lives on the planet. This is the power held by the "Messenger of Heaven".

The alarms were ringing, the red lights were flashing, and the flagship officially entered combat readiness.

The dark creature loomed over the sky above the court, and its light dyed the entire royal city red.

People came to the streets, looked up at the obscured sky, and waited for the coming of divine punishment.

"Director Qinghua."

Someone suddenly spoke in the strategic command center, and the fingers operating the control screen stopped out of fear.

As a battlefield observer, he has been performing his duties, and secretly curious about how the First King, who is once again pointing to the sky, will face the punishment from heaven.

Hundreds of years ago, the first king chose to compromise and exchanged his body for the future of this planet.

So what choice will he make at this moment?

When the observer locked the screen on the First King, the latter gave the answer.

After a long time, the observer managed to utter, "Evacuate..."

"Ok?"

"He decided to give us five minutes to evacuate."
