The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Multiple machine gun emplacements, hidden in the rock crevices, were set up on the mountainside on both sides of the main access road, forming a crossfire network that would hit anyone who flew in.

As the enemy drew closer, Jack gave the order, and six 12.7mm heavy machine guns instantly emerged from behind the camouflage panels in the rock crevices, spitting out crimson flames.

A barrage of scorching bullets swept across the open airspace in an instant, tracer bullets drawing scalding arcs in the clouds filled with a ghostly blue fluorescence.

The dozen or so Ikarans at the forefront had no time to dodge and were immediately riddled with holes, wailing as they fell into the cloud valley below, their blood and foam mixed with blue fluorescent powder floating everywhere.

Walang's charging formation instantly fell apart. Facing a group of machine gunners who were already familiar with every blind spot on the floating island, the crossfire had become a death trap.

In less than twenty minutes, Valang lost more than forty riders and about sixty Ikarans, and still couldn't push the horse more than a hundred meters.

The riders could only drive Ikaran into the shady crevices of the floating mountain, using the rocks as cover to fight back.

Seeing this, Jack immediately deployed his air force to reap the rewards.

Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, the riders quickly circled around to the flanks and rear of the Walang formation by following the crisscrossing rock crevices.

Almost instantly upon contact, both sides opened fire simultaneously. Countless winged shadows, indistinguishable as friend or foe, darted through the fluorescent mist. Gunshots, the cries of Ikalan, and shouts of battle mingled together, creating a fierce and evenly matched struggle between the floating mountains.

No matter what, Varang had received military training from the Union, so it was almost impossible for Jack to seriously injure the army through a sneak attack.

The Na'vi riders of Varang were already used to this tactic. They would flank and coordinate in groups of three, and soon recovered from their panic, firing the terrorists one by one down into the Cloud Valley.

In just half an hour, nearly a hundred pieces of corpses of various sizes were floating in the air. The battle was fiercely contested, and neither side could gain an advantage.

Kane remained calm despite the stalemate, simply giving the order over the communicator: "According to the plan, bring up heavy weapons and take out their firing positions."

The six 82mm mortars, which had long been disassembled and packed and carried on the back of Ikalan, were quickly transported to the three forward small hills that had already been captured.

More than a dozen shoulder-fired rocket launchers were also pushed to their firing positions, the coordinates of which had been marked long ago, just waiting for this moment.

With a command given, the first round of artillery fire erupted.

The heavy machine gun emplacement on the far left, which had been pressing down on Walang, had half of its rock face blown off by the shell. The camouflage branches and rubble mixed with the machine gunner and were blown to pieces. Blue blood flowed down the rock crevices, into the sea of ​​clouds, and dyed it a pale blue.

One shell after another accurately struck each of the pre-set firing points. Jack's fortifications hidden in the crevices of the rocks were originally modified from natural rock walls, so how could they withstand the bombardment of large-caliber shells?

Either the entire crevice would collapse and bury people alive, or the barrier would be blown away, leaving the heavy machine gun exposed in the open and taken out by a single rocket.

In less than an hour and a half, several key firing positions were eliminated, and the remaining two became isolated islands, unable to even retaliate.

Without the support and suppression of heavy firepower, Jack's loyal air force was almost wiped out, and the entire outer defense line completely collapsed.

"Damn it! This shouldn't be happening?!"

"How dare they?!"

Jack rode the Phantom into the shadows, still unable to understand how his base had been discovered.

His trusted confidant, clutching his bleeding shoulder, roared, "Leader! We can't hold on any longer!"

The entire island is almost surrounded, let's get out of here!

"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late! We still have hostages; if we hold them, we can always break through!"

Jack suddenly realized, yes, there were still hostages; this group was his last resort.

"Let's go!" He pulled on the reins and flew towards the main island amidst a hail of bullets.

Along the way, there were burning giant trees and the corpses of crashed Ikalan everywhere. The once turquoise floating islands were now full of craters and black smoke, making Jack's heart sink even more.

After finally reaching the dungeon entrance, the Na'vi guarding them were as white as paper. "Chief, Chief!"

The hostages... all the hostages have disappeared!

The padlock hadn't been pried open, but there was no one inside!

"what?!"

"How is this possible?!" Jack kicked him aside and rushed inside, only to find it completely empty.

Enraged, he turned around and riddled the guards with bullets!

He wouldn't believe it wasn't an inside man!

What should we do about the leader?

"what to do?

"Now that things have come to this, of course we have to fight and break through!" Jack said, his eyes red, and quickly climbed onto the Phantom.

There is a hidden airflow channel under the cliff on the south side of the main island that can lead to the primeval forest area thousands of miles away through the cloud valley. As long as you get out, you can make a comeback.

The phantom flapped its wings and soared into the sky, but before it had gone far, four deadly red lights locked onto it.

Several loud explosions rang out, and Jack had no idea how Phantom had been blasted.

All he knew was that the moment the missile exploded, he had fallen from the sky, and with several cracking sounds, he fainted from the pain.

The search party in Valon quickly found Jack by following the crash track.

The soldiers applied a tourniquet to his wound, then handcuffed him, lifted him onto a stretcher, and sent him to the helicopter.

Only a public trial can win the hearts and minds of the Varangian Empire against such a terrorist leader!

Chapter 236 Daily Life

Three days later, in Starfall Square, the capital of the Valang Empire, the public trial that had attracted the attention of the entire Pandora began on time.

On the north side of the square, there is a viewing platform that is right next to the trunk of the thousand-year-old giant tree.

Queen Varang, wearing a crown and a traditional Na'vi robe, held a cane in her right hand and led her newly-adult heir with her left, looking down at the square below.

As the prisoner gyroplane landed steadily on the helipad on one side of the square, two fully armed Na'vi soldiers escorted Jack, who limped, to the trial platform.

Jack squinted for a few seconds to adjust to the blinding sunlight, but after taking in Starfall Square and the surrounding modern city that combined Na'vi style, he was still somewhat stunned.

Seeing a large group of Na'vi people dressed in flamboyant clothes, just like humans used to be, taking photos and videos with their phones...

Jack acknowledged that such prosperity and development were justified, but years of hatred had blinded him, and there was no point in saying anything more now.

As he was strapped to the dock and restrained, Pandora Radio's live broadcast clearly captured his sinister face on the internet.

The chief justice, holding the indictment, clearly pronounced his guilt across the square.

"Jack Sully, over the past decade, you have organized an illegal armed group that attacked civilian tourist routes seventeen times, destroyed three maglev stations, and killed a total of 117 innocent civilians and tourists..."

Seven times you plotted to kidnap hostages for arms extortion, deliberately incited separatism, and attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of Wat Lang… The evidence against you is irrefutable. Do you plead guilty?

Whether Jack confessed or not was irrelevant at this point; the crowd below, upon hearing these accusations, shouted, "Kill this heretic!"

And that is indeed the case. Jack's five fingers, which are the majority of the Na'vi's four fingers, are seen as heresy!

Who says aliens don't discriminate? Being different is discrimination!

A Na'vi woman held up a photo of her child and cried out, "My son just took the Maglev home from school, what did he do wrong?!"

kill him!

"Avenge my child!!"

"Yes! Kill him!"

In the VIP section, Lu Qianwei leaned against the railing, holding an iced coconut, and watched silently.

Traitors never have a good ending.

Every civilization has its own choices, and his organization seemed utterly ridiculous to Lu Qianwei.

On the other side of the bench, the judge struck the gavel, silencing the commotion in the courtroom: "This court hereby declares Jack Sulli guilty on all counts!"

"Sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers, but Jack made no further moves.

Now that he's dead, he can finally be with his wife and children...

With a gunshot, everything settled down.

The crowd slowly dispersed, the maglev train continued to run according to its timetable, tourists crowded under the ancient tree to take photos, and the pale blue fluorescent light still filled the sky of Pandora. No one stopped because of the death of a madman.

Going against the tide of civilization and the times will only lead to being crushed under the wheels of fate.

Lu Qianwei spent a few more days exploring Pandora, and after exchanging some insights on dimensional ascension with Eva, he hurriedly left.

In the Transformers universe, the war here will not stop until Quintessa is captured.

But after so many years of protracted conflict, and with Merlin's Scepter under control, the solar system has no longer seen large-scale invasions by extraterrestrial forces.

Of course, we still occasionally hear news of terrorist attacks in various regions around the world.

Lu Qianwei came to this world to catch up with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and soon after, he traveled to the MonsterVerse.

Watching King Kong go further and further down the path of having children and building his kingdom, Lu Qianwei felt that no one else could do it.

Fortunately, after so many years of training, Snow Demon and Godzilla have been able to travel into space.

Their power is no longer confined to the ground; they have set their sights on the universe.

After a trip to the Pacific Rim, Lu Qianwei received some good news: the pioneer civilization was in awe!

Of course, this refers to surrender and willingness to negotiate, not the destruction of their civilization.

The task of wiping out a civilization that has existed for hundreds of millions of years is still quite difficult for the current multi-ethnic alliance.

After celebrating with the humans here for a few days, Lu Qianwei then went on a trip to the cyberpunk world.

The viruses and AI in the air of this world have long been eliminated by the dimensional reduction attack.

While the Earth's landscape and appearance cannot be said to have fully recovered to their former state, it has regained vitality thanks to the transplantation of plants from several parallel worlds.

Arriving at the former Night City, Lu Qianwei found that there were hardly any mercenaries left, and the roads were clean and tidy.

Patrolling police officers have been replaced by drones and robots...

The Industrial and Agricultural Company is now the largest shareholder in Night City.

"Everything is thriving," Lu Qianwei said with a satisfied smile as he looked at the scene.

After a trip to the City of a Thousand Stars, I learned that the Central Continent, with its vast land area, had become the center of the continent.

Even the council meetings have been moved to Central Continent, and a large group of interstellar real estate developers have driven land prices to astronomical levels!

This place has become a dream destination for countless wealthy people.

Lu Qianwei strolled slowly along the floating observation street, his feet resting on a transparent star core alloy surface as clear as glass. Looking down, he could see the interstellar buildings stacked upon each other, varying in height.
