Defend Our Homeland
The pirates were dumbfounded by the incredible scene unfolding below.
"Oh my god! What's going on? Why did the War Fortress follow us and crash into the Sky City?"
"Has the commander of that War Fortress gone mad?"
"There's no such thing as a coincidence. I bet it has something to do with the master."
Lin Zhen smiled slightly at this moment, "Why are you all so concerned? Isn't this the time for us to counterattack?"
"That's right, without the protective shield, our ship's firepower is enough to shoot this behemoth down from the sky!"
The Black Pearl gradually slowed down and circled in the air, preparing to return and attack again.
Meanwhile, on Sky City, Diana's face was ashen.
She has now figured it out: Ya Xuan has fallen for it again, and her soul has been controlled by Lin Zhen's secret technique once more.
With the Black Pearl providing cover, they followed closely behind, and while Sky City's attention was entirely focused on the Black Pearl, they rushed over and launched a thunderous attack.
Even when people start to notice the War Fortress, they instinctively assume it's chasing the Black Pearl, never imagining it's the real killer.
What a meticulous mind and deep calculation!
"That damn Lin Zhen, he must have advanced in Mental Power. He actually advanced from the Peak-Diamond-level. This freak actually pulled such a vicious move."
Diana gritted her teeth, wishing she could devour Lin Zhen, but she couldn't confront Lin Zhen head-on. Sky City couldn't be damaged; it was her very foundation for survival, and it absolutely couldn't be damaged in a battle with the Black Pearl.
She immediately called out through the control panel: "Mr. Anderson, it's time for you to take the stage."
"Received, I can't wait either."
After Anderson agreed, he cut off the screen, and then the image of Lin Zhen's Black Pearl appeared on the screen.
"Lin Zhen, immediately cease your spaceship's attack, or I won't hesitate to shatter your protective shield. Disputes between martial artists should be resolved between the martial artists themselves."
When the Black Pearl saw the footage, Luo Ni couldn't help but shout, "My God! It's Light-Speed Spaceship! It's Eternal Crystal Battleship! How could something like that appear here? They're in space, so close to us!"
"Master, be careful! They can unleash light-speed beam attacks that we cannot dodge. Those beams can definitely break through our warship's shields."
"Then what are they waiting for?"
"They don't dare to fire easily either. These light-speed rays require a lot of Energy Block to burn. The energy of Light-Speed Spaceship is life, especially for Light-Speed Spaceship that is not a pure combat vessel. If they fire, it will not be easy for them to return."
Lin Zhen looked at Anderson on the screen and smiled, "Alright, since you say it should be resolved between martial artists, then tell me how."
"Smart. In that case, everyone leave the spaceship. We'll settle this with a battle right here. The location is the square in the middle of the Capital City Base City."
"Alright, then you can leave the spaceship. And Diana's people must also leave Sky City."
"No problem, we'll leave first to show our sincerity, but don't try anything funny. Our spaceship has an automatic program, and if you try to attack us with it, it will retaliate."
After Anderson finished speaking, he led his men away from the Eternal Crystal Spaceship and traversed the atmosphere at an extremely high speed, heading towards the Capital City Base City.
Diana was also notified and led her Sky City subordinates away, totaling nearly four thousand people.
Sky City finally landed, right outside the Capital City Base City.
"We will also land and bring the Black Pearl to a safe stop."
Lin Zhen didn't intend to play tricks on this issue either. His Black Pearl was also too valuable to lose, and he was counting on it to capture the Eternal Crystal Spaceship.
Several spaceships landed one after another, and the three groups of people gathered in the square of the Capital City Base City.
After these people landed, their situation once again came into the world's view.
It's not just the world; once Earthlings possess chip identities, they can use the Dimensional Universe to spread information about their surroundings to the outside world.
Therefore, this battle on Earth has attracted considerable attention from the outside world. You can see it as long as you can find videos posted by Earthlings on the cosmic network.
Diana's side has nearly four thousand people. Apart from Diana herself being a level five star, the rest are basically between Comet Stage and Planet Stage. Those with weaker strength could not possibly become her confidants.
These people alone are not easy for Lin Zhen and his men to deal with, after all, there are only a thousand people on Lin Zhen's Black Pearl.
However, compared to Diana's people, the Anderson Family members were the truly troublesome ones.
After disembarking from the Eternal Crystal Spaceship, Anderson and his team passed through the atmosphere like shooting stars, plummeting straight to the ground.
Boom boom boom~~~~!!
Each person descended with overwhelming momentum, and when they stood still, Lin Zhen's group gasped in surprise.
Standing in the very center, Anderson, dressed in a fiery red robe, with long red hair and Red Three-Star Asura emblem on his chest, stood out like a crane among chickens.
Even his eyes were red, making him look extremely terrifying.
Star Level Nine! He actually reached Star Level Nine!
This level of strength is definitely among the top tier in a rudimentary Cosmic Nation like the Tianhe Empire.
Besides him, his team also includes two star-level 3s and twelve planet-level 9s.
As for Lin Zhen's pirate group, apart from Archangel Jason who is at the Star Stage, the highest level members are Stephen and Luo Ni, both at Planetary level 9, and then Sha Ke at Planetary level 8.
Their overall strength was far inferior to their opponent's, not to mention that Diana herself was a level 5 star.
This battle will not be easy.
Some of Lin Zhen's pirates hesitated. Although they would never betray Lin Zhen, the sight of such a powerful enemy still instilled a sense of fear in them.
Faced with a powerful enemy who could bring death at any moment, Lin Zhen found it difficult to expect these pirates to instantly become heroes.
When Diana saw Lin Zhen come out, her face showed deep hatred, and she slowly walked to the front of the group.
"Lin Zhen, we finally meet again. Let's settle all our old and new scores this time."
Lin Zhen glanced at Diana with disdain. "It is indeed worth calculating, but what right do you, a defeated opponent, have to stand up and speak? You don't seem qualified to be today's protagonist."
Diana was also a proud and arrogant person. She had never been insulted like this before, and her anger flared up immediately. "Lin Zhen, don't be arrogant. Today is the day the earth is destroyed. You won't be arrogant for long!"
As he spoke, he turned and pointed at Anderson: "This gentleman Star Level Nine being; he alone could sweep across the Earth, let alone me and these thousands of experts who are at least Comet Stage. Lin Zhen, your rabble can take their bows now!"
At this moment, Anderson also took a step forward. Dressed in a fiery red robe, he looked like a moving flame. With each step, a wave of scorching heat seemed to sweep over them, causing the pirates on Lin Zhen's side to take several steps back.
But in reality, the surrounding temperature didn't change at all. It was just a psychological illusion, an illusion created when facing a master.
Lin Zhen stepped forward, showing no fear of Anderson's imposing manner. "Mr. Anderson, are you determined to get involved in this mess?"
"Lin Zhen, don't try to sway me with your childish words; it's useless."
Anderson shook his finger. "First of all, I want to congratulate you, because you have become a lord who controls a land area of one light-year. For a Satellite Stage being, this is a very good achievement."
"But... I still feel sorry for you, because your path to becoming a lord is coming to an end very soon. You'll face death right after becoming a lord. You might be the shortest-lived lord in history, right? Hahahaha!"
Anderson and Diana's men were all laughing heartily, but the pirates behind Lin Zhen looked rather grim.
Anderson's words were unpleasant, but no one questioned them because he had the ability to back them up.
Seeing Lin Zhen's somewhat dejected mood, Diana said smugly, "How about it, Lin Zhen? You didn't even have a chance to sit on the throne before it was all over. What were you after? You went to great lengths to gain control of this planet, but who on this planet really cares about you? Now you're still fighting alone. It really makes me feel sorry for you."
Anderson's lips curled into a sneer, "Defend the Earth. Ridiculous!"
Lin Zhen took a deep breath. This battle was too difficult; the opponent's overall strength far surpassed their own.
However, he had no Xuan Ze but to fight.
Just as he was preparing to face the enemy, a loud shout suddenly came from behind, "Since this is a war to defend Earth, we, as Earthlings, all have a part to play. How can we watch our lord fight alone? Don't you all agree?!"
"Yes~~~!!!!!"
The sound was deafening, soaring straight into the sky!
Lin Zhen turned around and saw a large group of people coming out of an underground fortification.
An Bihuai, Qing Xu, Chen Fenglie, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, and everyone Lin Zhen knew, was familiar with, had seen, or hadn't seen before, as long as their cultivation level had reached the Meteor Stage or above, all emerged from the underground fortifications.
These people were very fast; they started walking and then flew. A few minutes later, hundreds more people appeared in the square.
"Lord, we know we are not very strong, but let us fight alongside you in this battle to protect the Earth!" Chen Fenglie spoke loudly from the front, indicating his acknowledgment of Lord Lin Zhen's identity.
"Yes, Earth is our common home. It's unreasonable for you, Lord, to fight alone while we all watch from the sidelines. We're all in the same boat, and we should share both honor and disgrace," An Bihuai said loudly.
"That's right! Diana said she'd destroy us completely. If we hide, we'll just be waiting to die anyway. We will never back down! Lord, please let us join the battle!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The martial artists of Huaxia spoke with loud voices and their momentum was overwhelming!
Although they are not strong enough, they will not be willing to be enslaved. This battle is either win or die, there will be no other outcome!
