The Last Sentinel

Five minutes to go, the atmosphere was cold and tense.

Without saying much, everyone put on their combat spacesuits.

As for the so-called "Heart of the Three-Body Problem," Hua Xiaobai and the others felt that this was just an excuse for the other side to provoke them.

They just want a war, so give them a war.

The waterway is a grand stage; if you're ready, come and join us!

Hua Xiaobai changed into her battle armor and looked at Ye Feng, "Boss, aren't you changing into your battle suit?"

Ye Feng looked at the star map and said, "These people don't seem to have good intentions!"

Hua Xiaobai was speechless. "Boss, we are the ones who came here."

Ye Feng pointed to the star map, "Look, more and more ships are approaching us along the shipping lane!"

On the Grand Line, countless red exclamation marks of various dangers have appeared. Some will arrive in twelve hours, while others will arrive in just a few hours. They seem endless at a glance, numbering at least five hundred or a thousand.

Hua Xiaobai said, "There are just too many planes in this world! How can we possibly fight them all?"

Ye Feng said, "We've probably been set up. Someone's been specifically targeting our ship and spreading false information beforehand, bringing endless trouble upon us!"

Hua Xiaobai asked, "Then what do we do?"

Ye Feng said, "Abandon ship! Abandon the Red Iron Fist and seize the Platinum Star! Leave on the Platinum Star!"

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, the Red Iron Fist ship trembled violently. The enormous impact caused the entire warship to deform horribly. The originally long and narrow hull suddenly compressed and flattened by two-thirds of its length. The steel plates on the ship made a crisp sound, and the places where the rivets had broken cracked were now splitting wildly.

"Warning! The Platinum Star has struck the starboard side of my ship!"

"Warning! The Red Fist's engine has suffered severe damage and is now at a standstill!"

"Warning! Enemy personnel have fired a boarding lock onto our ship!"

Outside the ship's side, the Platinum Star gleamed, like a platinum imperial sword, its bow like a sharp sword tip, piercing fiercely into the starboard side of the Red Iron Fist.

Even faster, white chains shot out from the Platinum Star and wrapped around the Red Fist.

The two ships drifted in the middle of the dark matter channel, constantly swirling and blowing towards the direction of the solar wind.

"Ha ha--"

The alien seafood's loud laughter came from outside the ship, a wild and arrogant laugh: "The Heart of the Three-Body Problem is mine! It's the great Captain Urus! Captain of the Red Iron Fist! Come out here! Let's fight!"

Amidst the laughter, Hua Xiaobai and his companions emerged from the stern of the [Red Iron Fist]. Hundreds of meters away, the [Platinum Star] was covered in shimmering silver scales, filled with octopus-like aliens with silvery-white scales. They supported their bodies with four legs, held weapons on two legs, and made various hand gestures with their other two hands.

The captain of the Platinum Star stood at the bow, tall and clad in armor, arrogantly waving his tentacles. "That carbon-based life form brat! Dare to come out and fight me?"

Hua Xiaobai said to the captain, "Our captain has other matters to attend to. We'll accept the boarding action!"

The captain of the Platinum Star laughed, "Did they run away?"

Hua Xiaobai said, "According to the rules of us carbon-based life forms, boarding combat is an ancient and long-standing fighting method. The two sides should first exchange chivalrous salutes before engaging in battle!"

The captain of the Platinum Star nodded and said, "Since I'm about to obtain the Heart of the Three-Body Problem, I'll grant your small request for pre-battle etiquette!"

Hua Xiaobai and the others raised their hands and bowed ninety degrees in a knightly salute.

At this moment, the captain on the opposite side took the lead, and the many alien seafood followed suit, bowing ninety degrees in a knightly salute.

The moment they lowered their heads, the Platinum Star suddenly shuddered, and scorching flames and arcs of electricity burned the entire ship's protective shield!

The seafood looked up again and saw a pioneering Titan-class mech standing above them. It held a liquid chainsaw sword in its left hand and a titanium alloy ship-slaying blade in its right. Its appearance was peerless. The nuclear fusion reactor engine in its chest spewed out visible red energy waves. It was as immovable as a mountain, its power overwhelming all living beings. In particular, its pair of crimson destructive laser eyes were burning fiercely, directly burning away the reactive protective shield of the [Platinum Star], instantly filling the sense of oppression to the maximum!

The appearance of the Crimson Destroyer shocked almost all the seafood, making the alien bastards who were originally preparing for a boarding battle feel fear.

It feels like everyone's a bunch of thugs, and we all agreed to fight each other with big knives, but on the day of the final battle, you arrive in a Type 99 main battle tank.

How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?

What the alien creatures found even more unacceptable was that you already have the Type 99 main battle tank, and you're still giving us smoke bombs and talking about some kind of battlefield etiquette of bowing and saluting! Then we looked up and saw God…

Can't you 1.0 indigenous people have some martial ethics?

We tolerated them sending main battle tanks, but they even drugged us with sleeping pills and laxatives!

You unruly folks from the backwaters, can't you have a shred of professional ethics as space pirates?

However, no sooner said than done, the Crimson Destroyer did not slow down its sword-drawing speed because of their thoughts and shock!

The Crimson Destroyer slashed down with its chainsaw sword. The violently spinning liquid saw blade was 180 meters long and over 20 meters wide. The massive chain blade was comparable to a sharp dragon tooth. It swung down and shattered the deck of the Platinum Star, piercing into the center of the engine!

【Crimson Destroyer】moved forward even faster, its rear-mounted engine revving, sending a fierce trail of flames soaring into the sky. The left-hand scythe sword was suddenly pulled out, piercing through the ship's engine furnace and dragging out a thick, magnificent, and terrifying wave of fire. The flames swept across the entire deck, and countless seafood screamed and fled in panic.

The Crimson Destroyer landed casually on the side of the Platinum Star, wielding a chainsaw sword in his left hand and a ship-slaying blade in his right. With a swift movement of sword and blade, one forceful and the other gentle, one cleaving and the other shattering, he suddenly began to run across the Platinum Star!

The mech's speed was undeniably fast; in just one exchange, the Platinum Star was sliced ​​into three vertical rings!

The enormous [Platinum Star], originally a thousand meters high and over eight thousand meters long, roared and exploded in flames under the influence of the solar wind energy in the shipping lane, and began to disintegrate!

Standing atop the Red Iron Fist, Brother Eighty watched the battle end almost instantly and muttered, "Wow, that fast? It didn't even take three seconds!"

Hua Xiaobai said, "Two seconds and fifty-seven seconds!"

Dian Wei said, "Well, this guy isn't any better! He was all bravado, but he got wiped out in one move by the mech?"

Old Liu said, "It's not that the other team is bad, it's that the captain is too strong! Mechs are just too overpowered!"

Xu Chu said, "Then why don't they bring out a mech? They could just get one up and fight the boss!"

No one can answer this question, after all, these alien bastards are already quite mature, and as of now, they certainly don't have mechs.

Mechs, whether within or outside the solar system, are considered luxury war items, the kind of powerful weapons that even top civilizations rarely possess.

Civilizations with mechs are all top-tier sects and ruthless forces. They disdain sailing ships; they are the big shots who collect protection money from their seats.

For a mech to suddenly emerge from your dilapidated ship is no less than a millionaire walking out of a collapsing thatched hut—it's a spacetime version of "Why don't they eat meat porridge!"

Afei suddenly exclaimed, "Something's wrong! Look! The Red Iron Fist—it seems to be alive! It's devouring the wreckage of the Platinum Star!"

Afei's exclamation woke everyone up, and they all followed Afei's perspective.

The Red Iron Fist seemed to have truly come back to life. A dark red aura emanated from its entire body, and its massive solar sails lowered, revealing its gaunt masts, which resembled the skeleton of a cosmic behemoth, trembling slowly. From the Red Iron Fist's mottled bow, jagged, serrated deck sections extended, frantically engulfing the wreckage of the Platinum Star and swallowing it whole…

This scene sent chills down everyone's spine, including Ye Feng.

Ye Feng piloted the [Crimson Destruction], hovering beside the spaceship. The moment the [Red Iron Fist] opened its ferocious maw, a sense of Leviathan's resurrection shot straight to the top of his head. Damn it, what kind of monster spaceship did Jerry give me? Is this really a spaceship? This is practically a living thing!
