9) The Great Landing (Part 18)

Is there any back-up plan?

Even if I succeeded in killing the Grizzly Bear just now, I would have been torn apart by the hail of bullets...

Perlis looked breathlessly at the Thebit soldiers on all sides. She felt the underground factor collector gradually sucking away the remaining destructive factors in her body, and felt her own strength slipping away bit by bit.

Is it just a matter of surrendering and letting others do whatever they want?

No... that doesn't exist...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Perlis grasped something at her waist and suddenly raised it to the sky:

"Oh!"

A pure white bullet was fired by Perlis with a starting gun, and a white flare suddenly hung in the sky above Qiu Zhiyuan, constantly flashing at a certain frequency.

This was the flare that Vans had given to Perlis in the camp earlier, and it was also the final resort that she dared to use until the very end.

She didn't know what would happen next. Although Perlis could still try again, the margin for error was extremely low.

Pearls had to take a gamble.

"Bang bang bang!"

The moment Perlis fired the signal flare, all the Thebit soldiers surrounding her began to open fire.

"Clang clang clang!"

Pearlis swung the butterfly knife quickly to deflect all the bullets, but after this round, she completely lost her strength.

The Grizzly Bear seized this opportunity and rushed towards Perlis, with its huge black claws raised high.

Just as the claws were about to tear Perlis apart, a loud explosion sounded from the sky.

"boom--"

This violent shock made everyone subconsciously stop what they were doing, raise their heads, and look up at the sky—

——That was a shuttle that warped in!

Before anyone could react to the shuttle, a dark shadow fell towards the tent that had been torn into the open air, and pierced the ground—

"Pfft!"

It was a square container. The moment it pierced the ground, small holes on it opened up, spraying out some kind of gas invisible to the naked eye.

All the Thebit soldiers, including Grizzly, retreated, apparently mistaking it for a bomb, but Perlis knew that it was not.

In her factor's vision, what leaked out of the container was the factor of destruction!

Most of those factors were sucked into the ground the moment they were exposed, but Perlis still seized the opportunity and mobilized those factors to converge towards her bracelet.

In just a moment, the factor shield appeared on Perlis' body again!

Grizzly Bear saw the faint red light on Perlis's body, frowned, and immediately reacted:

"Fire! Fire now (Thebitten)!"

Bullets rained down, but Perlis calmly used the strong factor energy she had just absorbed to condense a red line and escaped into the red [upper realm].

After entering the upper realm, Perlis lowered her head and saw at a glance the clusters of high-concentration factor energy that were constantly entangled below her.

Those are buried in the factor collector.

"Clap!"

In the red space, Perlis silently snapped her fingers, causing those concentrated factor areas to explode one by one.

Then, she tore open the space, jumped out from the [Upper Realm], and immediately felt surrounded by countless destructive factors.

At the same time, countless guns were aimed at her, and another round of hail of bullets was about to break out.

At this moment, another explosion sounded in the sky——

"boom--"

A figure with a red tail flame was falling towards the camp, surrounded by black spherical objects!

"Wait...wait! This is..."

[Grizzly Bear] Andrei Ivanov raised his head blankly, looking at the red meteor with his eyes wide open.

"Impossible! If it was the [Blade of Babel], the Lord should be able to intercept it..."

"That's because he's busy and doesn't have time (Thebite)."

A low and hoarse voice came from Grizzly's earphones. His Thebite language sounded a bit strange and old-fashioned, but it made Andre's hands tremble.

“Evans Monarch?” Andre muttered in disbelief, “Oathbreaker, you—”

"The storm is approaching," the hoarse voice murmured. "Hold on, Andre."

As soon as the words fell, the red meteor and the black spherical object fell on the battlefield at the same time, raising a thick smoke.

——It’s a smoke bomb!

Seeing her vision blocked, Perlis covered her nose, a halo lit up in her bloodshot eyes, and she looked around for the figure that was dragging a red tail flame.

If she guessed correctly, it should be a [Blade of Babel], or at least a member of the Federation, otherwise it would be impossible for him to take the shuttle and have the power of redstone at the same time...

She must be careful... Even if the current predicament is temporarily resolved, the next one is likely to be another predicament...

Just as she was thinking this, screams came from the smoke -

"what!"

"Ahhh!"

"what!"

Screams spread one after another in the smoke. From time to time, there were sounds of soldiers opening fire, but they were quickly ended by the screams.

Through the smoke, Perlis saw the figure of the airborne soldier. He was wearing a light armor, and his movements were smooth and his moves were brutal and rough.

Perlis couldn't bear to look at his face, she only saw the weapon in his hand.

——It was an axe.

Axe? Wait... Axe...

Perlis' heartbeat began to quicken. She seemed to realize something, stopped all movements, and just stared blankly.

The figure killed the Thebit soldiers along the distribution, and finally sprinted in the direction of [Grizzly] Andrei Ivanov.

"Come on! Brat, let me see your—"

Before Grizzly finished speaking, he let out a scream:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"..."

After that, there was only silence in the entire venue, a deathly silence.

"call--"

The wind blew across the autumn plains, dispersing the smoke and returning the golden sunlight to the earth.

Through the gradually dispersing smoke, Perlis saw the young man standing next to the fallen body of the Grizzly Bear.

He looked very tall, wearing a lightweight exoskeleton armor, with his back straight, and the axe in his hand flashing with red light, giving him the look of a strong man.

But when the boy turned around and saw Perlis not far away, his dashing and heroic look suddenly collapsed, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face:

"Ah...little...little princess, it seems like you haven't seen me for a while?"

The boy's black hair was still messy, and he tidied it up very uncomfortably. His inky eyes seemed to not dare to look directly into Perlis's eyes.

"I promised that I would catch up. Although it took a little while this time, can I..."

Before he could finish, the girl threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

"Ouch! Wow... You're much stronger now, ouch..."

Pace Monarch looked at Pearlis who threw herself into his arms, at a loss, like a clumsy brother, not knowing where to put his hands.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged Perlis gently and touched the back of her head.

Just like when we were on top of a mountain.

......

9) The Great Landing (Part 19)

It's Pace.

He is not dead.

He was standing in front of him, still not looking very smart, but much more handsome.

"..."

In Pace's arms, Perlis raised her head slightly, and stared at the boy's cheek with her tearful red eyes.

The face was much more angular than the last time they met, and there was a bit more maturity between the boy's brows. In a word, he looked more like a serious Thebite.

Perlis didn't know how she should feel. Although she was harsh in her words, deep down she always thought of Pace as a less mature brother.

She had no intention of showing weakness or shouting out something terribly corny or touching.

She had so many questions to ask, so many things to say.

But she couldn't say it.

"..."

After staring at each other for a while, Pace smiled gently, patted Perlis on the back and said:

"You're not angry, are you? We said goodbye so hastily that I forgot to treat you to a Dibet barbecue dinner."

Perlis shook her head gently, she slowly broke away from Pace's arms, and looked up at this stupid guy who was a head taller than her.

Soon, she noticed Pace's left hand, and a flash of panic flashed through her mind:

That was no longer the original left hand, but a silver iron hand with an obvious mechanical structure, emitting a faint cold air.

"Your hand..." Perlis murmured.

"It's just a minor problem. For a warrior like me who is not well-trained, it is normal to be missing limbs."

Pace moved his machine and looked at the bloodstain on Perlis's shoulder with concern.

"But you, are you okay with your injury? I saw you bleeding..."

"It's okay," Perlis shook her head gently, "I can cure it."

As soon as he finished speaking, jumping red arcs of electricity surrounded the girl's shoulders and left hand, and her wounds were healed in just a few strokes.

Pace stared at the scene blankly, still scratching his head with the same look as a countryman entering the city:

"So amazing... Is this the Hafurgard tribe..."

"Do you know the Hafgard people?" Perlis raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.

"Let's talk about it later. Our troubles are not over yet."

Having said this, Pace turned around and faced the gun muzzle with a red glow behind him.

It was Angela Stello, her hands shaking as she grasped a revolver she had pulled from Grizzly's waist.

"Put down your weapons, woman (Thebite)," Pace said in a very serious tone, "surrender and you can still live (Thebite)."

"You are dreaming, scum of Thebite..." Angela's voice trembled, "Traitor... Oathbreaker..."

"Then what are you? A scum of the Federation?" Pace responded bluntly, "You don't know how big a mess you've made."

"I will do anything to avenge my husband!"

Angela Stro screamed, turned the gun and pointed it at the calm Pearlis:

"go to hell!"

She was about to pull the trigger when Perlis snapped her fingers lightly:
