The Last Sentinel

Hua Xiaobai has done everything in his power to delay the issuance of the order for a full-scale war.

However, the Neanderthals' liaison organization was not limited to the Northern Frontier Defense Command, but also included the Neanderthal Special Rangers, the Perfect City Imperial Guard, the Perfect City Defense Force, and many other military units.

The other Neanderthal armies, having received orders to wage all-out war, carried out a frenzied purge of the Homo sapiens in their territories without any hesitation, sweeping the ground with arrows and having rangers collect the corpses.

Faced with the overwhelming superiority of the enemy in both quality and quantity, the already weak Homo sapiens scattered and fled, their lives hanging by a thread.

"Run! Don't worry about the people behind you!"

"Damn it, why did the Neanderthals suddenly change their tactics?"

"I was just one step away from completing my defenses! Damn it! It got interrupted!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to Fortress Seven. Our camp is there!"

Several severely wounded Homo sapiens warriors wandered frantically through the glacial valley. Behind them, the gray snow line was faintly visible, a Neanderthal ranger in pursuit.

The leader of the Homo sapiens, panting heavily, sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Captain, are you alright?"

A soldier pulled Lao Qi to his feet. "Let's go, Captain! The enemy is catching up soon!"

The seventh brother was extremely weak at this point, waving his hands incessantly, "Forget it, I can't run anymore, let's just leave it at that, I might as well die here!"

Another soldier grabbed Lao Qi's other arm. "Let's go!"

Seeing the two soldiers half-covered in blood and limping, the seventh brother waved his hand and said, "Brothers, stop! Listen to me, I'm beyond saving. My physique is simply not cut out for fighting. I'm just a player in a life simulation game; I can't become the war god you want!"

"You've followed the wrong person, you've chosen the wrong captain!"

"You guys go ahead, I really can't walk anymore!"

The remaining soldiers watched as the seventh brother sat on the ground in utter despair. They didn't say anything, but simply picked him up one by one.

"Put me down!"

The seventh brother struggled and said, "Take me with you, none of you can escape! You are the true geniuses of the Human Alliance, and I am just a misjudged guy. I am not a genius, I do not deserve your sacrifice to save me!"

"The sentry misjudged him! He really did!"

"I have absolutely no fighting ability!"

"The powerful and expensive Compound No. 5 had absolutely no effect on me! I've let down the Human Alliance's nurturing and everyone's expectations of me!"

"I have to admit, I'm a piece of trash!"

"Go, put me down. You are the true spark of the Human Alliance, the true geniuses. Leave me here. My life can sell for a million, no, six million. I'm already satisfied! Six million is more money than I could earn in a lifetime in ordinary society! The Human Alliance has given me this opportunity to sell my life for six million. I'm very grateful to the Human Alliance! I'm willing to die here!"

The crew did not abandon Lao Qi; they continued to silently take turns carrying him through the glaciers and snow valleys.

A cold wind howled, and goose-feather snowflakes fell. The chill lingered on Lao Qi's face. His previous fervent self-confidence had vanished under the constant blows. He didn't know why Compound No. 5, which worked for others, had no effect on him whatsoever, not even a single side effect.

It turned out that he was just an ordinary person, and the sentry had really misjudged him.

boom--

The ground cracked open, and a terrifying gale swept in all directions, directly piercing the hearts of the two leading warriors with icy blades, killing them instantly.

A cold wind whistled, and the remaining soldiers put down Lao Qi, looked around, and assumed a defensive stance.

The snow rustled through the valley, and gusts of cold wind swept in. From the snow waves, a hundred or so roaring Neanderthal woolly rhinoceros beasts rushed out, with Neanderthal warriors sitting atop them like small mountains. In an instant, they surrounded Lao Qi and his group.

The seventh brother, seeing the Neanderthal warriors surrounding him, shouted, "I'm the captain you're looking for! Can you release my crew?"

A haughty voice swept through the Neanderthal warriors like a blast of ice: "Forty thousand years ago, the Neanderthals knelt and begged the Homo sapiens for a way to live, but the Homo sapiens only answered us with slaughter and cleansing. Now you want me to release you, Homo sapiens genius? Is this all the awareness you have? Don't you even have the courage to face death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept past his ears.

Two obsidian arrows were fired with precision, instantly turning the two warriors blocking Lao Qi's way into a bloody mist.

Old Seven's lips were white from the cold, and his heartbeat had weakened to the point of exhaustion. "I'm not afraid of death. I didn't intend to live when I came here! I just feel guilty. I've dragged down nine of the true genius warriors of the Human Alliance. They should have had a brighter future, but instead, they're buried in the snowfield with trash like me. It's not worth it!"

In the midst of the Neanderthal battle formation, a blue-haired prince, clad in a velvet cloak over ancient silver armor, strode through the air, looking down like a god at the dying Homo sapiens warriors below. With a gentle tap of his finger, a dazzling blue light emanated from his fingertips.

"Protect the captain!"

The remaining soldiers charged ahead, but to no avail.

The light blue rays instantly pierced their bodies, freezing them in place.

"Very loyal."

John Darwin surveyed the scene below. "From a Neanderthal perspective, we cannot understand Homo sapiens' disregard for life, yet I deeply admire it! But that doesn't change anything! It was the Sentinels who sent you to this certain death battlefield. It was the Sentinels who treated human life like dirt, sending a bunch of untrained, ordinary tribesmen to their deaths! They hid in the rear, clinging to life, instead of being like our Neanderthal leaders, leading from the front, always standing at the forefront of their warriors!"

The seventh brother was shivering from the cold and could no longer utter a single word.

John Darwin raised his hand, lifting Old Seven's body into the air. A pale blue halo emanated from his pupils as he scanned Old Seven's stats, saying, "Let me see why that Sentinel calls you the Child of Destiny. Is it because of your destiny or your six stats?"

Scanning, scanning, John laughed. "I see your memories. A lowly person who can't even get enough to eat, joining this doomed battle just for a bite to eat for your sister. How foolish you are!"

"Since we can't get enough to eat, let's overthrow Homo sapiens and eliminate the high-ranking members of your Homo sapiens race!"

"Why would anyone want to sacrifice their life for Homo sapiens?"

"Your sister is very pitiful."

"Go in peace. After I defeat the Homo sapiens alliance, I will come to the surface to see her to you!"

The moment his sister was mentioned, the seventh child, who had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly opened his eyes. "Don't touch my sister! She's my only sister! You can't hurt her!"

"This," John waved his hand abruptly, "is not up to you, it's up to me. The game is over."

From the center of John's palm, a mighty, azure beam of light surged forth, heading straight for the seventh brother's heart!

boom--

The seventh brother's voice echoed in the middle, "Does my word not count?"

"I must have the final say in matters concerning my sister!"

"I have nothing left in this world except my sister!"

"I want nothing but my sister!"

The next moment, the earth and sky trembled, and in the center of the snow valley, a huge, surging wave of snow rose into the sky, and terrifying snowflakes swept the surrounding giant beast knights backward.

"Damn it!" John frowned. "An extremely powerful mental fluctuation... is it a summoning? But shouldn't Homo sapiens' skills be banned in a place like this? How could this be!"
