Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Not only did they return everything they had taken from the Empire, but the Covenant also relinquished its claim to sovereignty over another disputed territory and handed over half of its ships.

Of course, these were all private agreements, in exchange for An Ran temporarily not announcing the matter to the public.

"It is impossible for me to give you this rubbing stone."

Anran coldly rejected the Covenant's initial offer and took Polua with her.

"One wrong step can lead to eternal regret!"

On the battleship, watching Anran sail away into the distance, the two Grandmasters of the Star Alliance were ashen-faced. This was a complete and utter defeat, and for a moment they couldn't even find an opportunity for revenge.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Meanwhile, in a solitary confinement cell on the battleship, Carroll, covered in blood, slumped on the floor, a wild smile on his face, his body twitching occasionally.

"Ha ha……"

"That blue planet was the strongest fortress of the Star Alliance, and that blue metal was the strongest skeleton of that fortress. But one day, that blue skeleton suddenly collapsed..."

Carol began to sing a strange song.

……

Somewhere in the starry sky, only Anran, the panda, and Faulkner remain.

"Elder Faulkner..."

"I……"

“There’s nothing more to explain. Just be a cornerstone in the empire’s reconstruction. I’m not going to let you return to Sark,” Anran said.

Faulkner was plunged into despair.

But he didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his death, so he took a deep breath.

Like the foolish Don Quixote, he brandished his knight's lance and launched a desperate attack on the dancing demon "windmill".

If he can defeat this great demon before him, he can survive!

However, at this moment, Faulkner was as brave and fearless as Don Quixote, but he did not have Don Quixote's protagonist luck.

He fell down, and Sancho came to wake him.

When he fell, he truly fell completely.

Anran, with the panda, embarked on the journey back to Planet Sark.

After losing the Covenant, the bewildered Allied Forces regrouped.

The battle must continue.

At this moment, seizing the opportunity, the Zerg, in alliance with the Demons, launched a surprise attack on the planet Sark.

"The human who could transfer Planet Sark to another dimension is gone; this is our opportunity!"

Monsters swarmed toward the planet Sark, panic spread, and the players who remained there stood up.

Faction Mission: The Defense of Planet Sark!

Ducking!

Countless mechs and warships soared into the sky.

The anti-aircraft guns raised their heads and fired into deep space.

Chapter 22 An Ran is my eldest sister!

"Your Majesty, you should find a place to hide for a while."

Inside the makeshift palace, a servant dressed in elaborate attire rushed in from outside. She was terrified; her body trembled even as she spoke.

Just now, in the courtyard outside Orina's palace, a servant looked up at the sky and was so frightened by the dense, disgusting swarms of insects that he started gagging.

Then a mech flew into the air, and the laser cannon on its arm blasted three sticky bugs to death. One of the bugs' corpses fell onto a tree in the courtyard.

The maid's heart clenched at the sight of the ruptured eyeballs, the bursting skin, and the oozing mucus. She felt a spasm in her stomach and bent over, gagging.

"Are you alright?" Olina got up from the desk and rushed to the maid's side, patting her on the back.

The maid, having finished gagging, immediately took a step back: "Your Majesty, I, I'm fine!"

Seemingly fearing Orina's reprimand, the maid knelt on the ground, repeatedly banging her head against the floor: "Your Majesty, my performance just now was truly..."

Suddenly, a hand reached out and touched her forehead. Feeling the warmth of the palm, the little maid was stunned.

She was at a loss for what to do.

Orina's gentle voice rang in my ears: "Now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing. You stay here, I'll go outside and take a look."

Ignoring the maid's reaction, Orina, armed, headed straight out of the palace.

At this moment, the little maid got up; she was terrified.

Only this secluded palace could give her a sense of security, but...

Watching Olina's departing figure, the little maid stamped her foot, but in the end, she still ran after her.

"Your Majesty, it's very dangerous outside! You can't go out! Your Majesty..."

The little maid's voice was loud, but as an ordinary person, how could she keep up with Orina's pace? When she came to the courtyard again, Orina had been staring blankly up at her for a long time.

Too much!

There are just too many!

The azure sky was dominated by black and gray insects. Compared to this overwhelming swarm of insects, hundreds of thousands of players seemed insignificant, and even three thousand mechs seemed insufficient to withstand the onslaught.

Air raid sirens had been sounded in the city, and most people took refuge in air raid shelters as soon as they received the news. They could only silently pray that the Time-Space Rift would be able to defeat the monsters.

Boom! Boom!

whoosh-

Countless beams of light fell upon the swarm of insects, and as soon as a gap was created, countless insects rushed up to fill the void.

Orina saw a mech with two wings on its back rush into the enemy ranks like a tornado. In the blink of an eye, the area turned into a green field of insect blood, with bits of flesh falling everywhere. But a moment later, the mech ran out in a sorry state, frantically crushing a bug attached to its arm.

The situation is not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, let's find a place to hide first, and then we need to contact the Chief of the Imperial Guards," the maid said timidly.

After all, she was just a maid, and making such a suggestion was already presumptuous.

Orina's expression turned grave: "How can I run away alone at a time like this!"

Moreover, An Ran wasn't even here; she had already gone to join the allied forces.

"First, notify all civilians to hide, and then..."

Orina suddenly paused for a moment.

She sensed something unusual about the tree with the dead insects hanging from it, and Orina instinctively held her royal sword across her chest.

Just then, the tree suddenly transformed into a counter-clockwise rotating black vortex, and three demons rushed out of the vortex, shooting out like poisoned needles and hidden weapons onto the royal sword, making a clanging sound.

Orina took several steps back and quickly shouted, "Get behind me!"

The little maid instinctively took a few steps to the side. She suddenly realized that this was against the rules; she should rush to the front to protect Her Majesty the Queen. But she was terrified, and her legs were trembling violently.

"Rest assured, protecting the people of the Empire is my responsibility as the Empress!"

Orina took a deep breath and pointed her sword at the demon that was laughing maniacally.

"Your Majesty..."

The little maid looked at Orina's thin body, and her eyes instantly reddened. She sensed an aura in Orina that she had never seen before.

This is the new empress of the empire!

"I won't let you kill me so easily!"

Orina gave a soft shout and charged towards the demons.

She moved incredibly fast, creating a blur of motion that made it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. The three demons immediately split up and pounced on the different phantoms. Just as a fierce collision was about to take place between the two sides, Orina suddenly stopped.

whoosh-

It was a silver flash that appeared out of nowhere, circling her body rapidly once, and then the three demons exploded into purplish-black gas with a "poof".

“An Ran said that as an empress, she should not put herself in danger. This is not protecting her people, but being irresponsible to the entire empire!”

Orina looked in the direction the sound came from.

From the corner, Ella, with her beautiful long silver hair, nimbly jumped down.

As she berated Orina for her impulsive actions, she walked up to the black vortex that was about to return to calm.

"you……"

Orina recognized that this was Anran's "little follower," but she didn't know what Ella was trying to do.

Ella surprisingly put her hand into the whirlpool and slid it around a few times as if stirring a water tank. Then, she suddenly took a half step back with her right foot and shouted, "Get out of here!"

boom--

In an instant, Orina felt the entire ground tremble, and the deep, calm vortex became even more turbulent, as if it were about to collapse.

hum!hum!hum!

Ella slapped him with her left hand.

The crisp sound of a slap startled Orina for a moment, and then she saw a distorted face appear in the black vortex.

If there were players here, they would find that this is a great demon whose level they cannot fathom.

After all, it's a level 132 master-level demon!

That's awesome!

But at that moment, Ella lifted her up with her right hand like she was catching a chick.

"They actually tried to launch a sneak attack!"

Snapped!

Ella slapped the big devil.
