Impersonating Lin Zhen's Girlfriend
Compared to the tragedy in America, other countries are in a better position.
The European Union, Tsarist Russia, Russia, India have been somewhat wavering, in a state of semi-support, neither advocating for public gatherings nor opposing public welcomes, and have not made any public statements. In short, they have not yet made a decision.
Therefore, the number of people participating in the rally was relatively small, and the number of people gathered in the capital did not exceed ten million.
However, even with this number of people, they still suffered heavy losses.
The Tianhe Empire's fleet split into seven routes: Sky City headed to America, while the remaining six War Fortress headed to the other six countries.
These War Fortress did not possess the formidable firepower of Sky City, but with the coordination of various other aircraft and the support of a guard force whose full strength had reached the Stellar Realm, they still inflicted significant losses on these nations.
Of the eight million European Union participants at the rally, less than two million remained, fleeing into various corners of the Base City, and the War Fortress did not continue its pursuit.
Of the seven million people in Tsarist Russia, 1.3 million remained, while of India's nine million, only a few hundred thousand remained.
The African Union and Brazil, two relatively weaker countries, fared better. They heeded Huaxia's advice and only a few million people attended. Although most of these people died after the war broke out, the country's top leaders were preserved.
The people of the Tianhe Empire were not indiscriminately killing indiscriminately. The first wave of attacks was part of their plan. They believed that it would be enough to crush the Earthlings' will to resist, since these slaves would be sold for money in the future.
Planets with a level of civilization like Earth are not of much value to them; what attracts them are people of various ethnicities. The slave trade is prevalent in interstellar space, and each ethnic group has its own market for slaves. The more people they kill, the greater their losses will be, so the first wave of attacks will suffice.
They didn't want to come all that way from tens of thousands of light-years away only to find ruins.
After the main battle in America ended and the last remaining expert of the Flowing Meteor Stage was killed, the aloof and beautiful Countess Diana, the Sky City Master, parted her red lips slightly and said, "Earthlings are too weak and have too few experts. This expedition will soon come to an end."

"This expedition is far from over!"
Ya Xuan looked down in annoyance. These Huaxia were really too cunning. They had taken precautions early on, deploying a large number of missiles and anti-aircraft artillery around the square.
They even deployed their newly developed Orbital Cannon, which were put into service in the first wave of fire when the two sides broke off hostilities. After a round of bombardment, although their defensive weapons were basically destroyed, Ya Xuan's fleet actually lost over a hundred small Spaceship!
When the nations were initially assigned, the fleet conducted internal research and ultimately concluded that Huaxia was likely the strongest nation on the planet.
Originally, it was Miss Diana's Sky City that was supposed to come to Huaxia, but Ya Xuan took the initiative to choose Huaxia because of a few impulsive words with his colleagues. In his opinion, no country on this planet could cause trouble for the Empire Expeditionary Force. He even boasted that the first wave of attacks would result in zero losses.
The current result is a slap in the face; it's not a zero loss, but rather two zeros with a one added in front of them.
More than a hundred aircraft were lost, not to mention the crew members inside.
There is at least one imperial citizen on every aircraft!
Every citizen was Stellar Realm being, yet they died in the explosion of this spacecraft.
Fortunately, the Empire's firepower was still incredibly strong, and it managed to destroy Huaxia's defensive weapons. Filled with rage, Ya Xuan vented his anger on the crowd in the square.
"Kill everyone in the square, leave no one alive! Damn it, doesn't Huaxia have over 500 million people? How come only a few hundred thousand have come?"
When the aliens unleashed their vengeful barrage of artillery fire upon the ground, Li Mengxi and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Just moments before, during the exchange of fire, they were shouting at the City Defense Army, their voices hoarse. "Don't fire! These people are guests! We can talk about anything!"
"Once you open fire, there's no going back. You've ruined our path to joining the Tianhe Empire; you are all sinners!"
Fortunately, Huaxia's firepower wasn't too fierce. After a round of bombardment, all the artillery and missiles were destroyed. Li Mengxi and the others regained their hope. Perhaps, considering their positive performance, these alien visitors would make an exception and allow them to become citizens.
As long as they can become citizens, they are willing to work hard for the Tianhe Empire and recruit more Earthlings to join them.
Of course, those who joined later could only be slaves.
But before their fantasy could end, the enemy's artillery fire came.
On the War Fortress, thousands of cannons protruded, and various Energy Cannon rained down, making the earth tremble.
The crowd included not only hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic people from all over Huaxia, but also some military and government personnel.
The Huaxia government has made thorough preparations for the possibility of war.
They were well aware that Earth's technological capabilities could not compete with those of extraterrestrials, so after gathering all available resources, the military began preparations for evacuation.
The artillery and missiles were set to automatic firing mode, since aiming was basically unnecessary in this situation.
The Tianhe Empire's artillery fire destroyed the defensive weapons, and most of the military personnel survived, though they were buried in the ruins or were wounded and unable to move.
At this moment, the martial arts action team, which had been prepared in advance, took action.
They moved swiftly across the battlefield like leopards, rescuing wounded soldiers one by one and dispersing them in all directions.
Because the higher-ups had received a call from Baggio, Baggio said it was Lin Zhen's idea that the aliens couldn't possibly kill all the humans on Earth. As long as they infiltrated the civilian population and fought slowly, the aliens wouldn't have many good options.
The government adopted Lin Zhen's suggestion to temporarily disband the agency and disperse its personnel to the public, which indeed yielded excellent results.
Of course, they had a specific goal in saving people; they ignored those who were fanatical about joining the Tianhe Empire.
Li Mengxi is a Level Nine Warrior. She was a Level Nine Warrior when she was in Yilan, but she has not been able to enter the General Stage all these years. After all, it is not easy for female warriors to advance, and she cannot be considered a true genius.
Relying on her status as Level Nine Warrior, she ran and dodged amidst the artillery fire, having already lost all those who had followed her.
However, in this environment, only a master War God can move forward freely. It is already quite remarkable that she, a Level Nine Warrior, has been able to persist until now.
"Boom!"
A green wood-based Energy Cannon exploded around her, sending out thorny branches that pierced her calf before she could dodge.
Li Mengxi screamed and fell to the ground, unable to move one of her legs.
She gritted her teeth, took out a sword, and tried to chop the branch in the hopes of cutting it off.
"Boom!"
A beam of cyan wind Energy Cannon down from not far away, and a sudden gust of wind blew the sword away from his hand.
"Oh no! This can't be!"
Li Mengxi watched in despair as the sword fell a hundred meters away. Without the sword, she would be firmly fixed to this branch until the next shot hit her and turned her to ashes.
In his despair, he saw a Advanced God of War rapidly passing by in the distance.
This person looks familiar; he must also be from Ice City.
Li Mengxi quickly cried out for help, "Senior, you're from Ice City, right? Please help me! I'm from Ice City too!"
The Advanced God of War was not very old, seemingly only in his early twenties. He was holding a Star Artifact Long Sword. After hearing Li Mengxi's words, he hesitated for a moment but still walked over.
"Do you recognize me?" He came to Li Mengxi's side, but instead of immediately cutting down the tree, he asked, bowing his head.
"Let's get to know each other. You seem to be from the Azure Sky Martial Hall, right? Call me Brother Cheng. I've seen posts about you online." Li Mengxi gently brushed her hair back with her hand and then tried to strike a beautiful pose, hoping to seduce this young, Advanced God of War.
To have such strength at such a young age, she must be a promising talent. Li Mengxi had some other thoughts.
"You're right, I'm A Cheng from Azure Sky. Who are you? I still have to save other people. We won't save you people, even if you're from my hometown."
Brother Cheng frowned slightly as he looked at Li Mengxi. Although Li Mengxi was a beauty, she was clearly not at the level of Su Mingyue and An Ning.
Moreover, at this moment she was covered in blood, her face was charred black, and tears mixed with blood and dust made her look anything but beautiful.
Li Mengxi could tell at a glance that the other party was not moved, and she was anxious. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, "I am Lin Zhen's girlfriend. You saved me. Lin Zhen will never forget you. He will definitely repay you."
"Is Lin Zhen's girlfriend the National Hero Lin Zhen from our Azure Sky Martial Hall?" Brother Cheng looked Li Mengxi up and down.
"Yes, yes, it's him. I'm his childhood sweetheart, and he loves me very much."
Brother Cheng looked at it, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "To be honest, I owe my success today to the encouragement and care of Senior Lin Zhen. Regardless of how much he has contributed to the nation, he has also done me a great favor. I will definitely listen to his girlfriend."
"Then hurry up and save me! Cut this log down." Li Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she could survive. Lin Zhen's reputation was indeed useful; there was basically no one in this country who wouldn't give him face.
Unexpectedly, A Cheng didn't act immediately. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "But as far as I know, Senior Lin Zhen only has two girlfriends, An Ning and Su Mingyue. Which one are you?"
"I'm his first love!" Li Mengxi said matter-of-factly.
"Is your first love the one Young Miss An Ning posted about online, calling him a clown?"
"That's because An Ning is jealous of me. She's making baseless accusations. She's jealous that Lin Zhen likes me," Li Mengxi still stubbornly insisted.
Brother Cheng snorted coldly, "Young Miss An Ning has followed our senior all these years and made tremendous contributions to the country and the nation. Who do you think you are? To actually impersonate our senior's girlfriend, I've never seen such a shameless woman!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Lin Zhen, you can ask his family!"
"No need. Senior must be very busy and has no time to deal with someone like you. Good luck to you."
Brother Cheng looked up at the sky, then turned and left.
"You bastard! I curse you!"
Li Mengxi wanted to curse loudly, but the pain aggravated her wound, preventing her from uttering any words. She was in so much pain that she was covered in sweat.
Just as she was about to check her wound, another Energy Cannon down from the sky and exploded right in front of her!
A gust of wind blew by, and only the bloodstains on the ground proved that someone had just been there.
