You're Acting on Me! / The More You Play It Safe, the More You Chill
Is it time? The distance is just right...
Chapter 1010, Section 1055: You're Acting at Me!
In Yordle City, the battle raged fiercely on the city walls, with blood flowing everywhere like venomous snakes, threatening to cause one to slip and fall if one was not careful.
Looking around, the passageway was filled with corpses lying haphazardly, including barbarians, Federation soldiers, and Southern Knights.
Some were unable to dodge and were riddled with arrows, turning into pincushions; others had their intestines ripped out and were entangled together, with each other's weapons still embedded in their bodies; some had their hands and feet severed and their throats torn, and finally fell off the city wall like Beast devouring each other, turning into a bloody pulp.
However, overall, the southern soldiers who climbed the city walls were found with their bodies mangled and scattered, barely recognizable as human, while they were surrounded by two to three times their number of enemies.
After a difficult clearing of a wave of enemy troops surging onto the city wall, an old soldier with bandages wrapped around his neck looked with lingering fear at the young Southern soldier who had been dismembered and chopped to pieces.
Damn it! They wouldn't even blink an eye if they stabbed someone through the heart and ripped out their lungs! They're not human!
Moreover, judging from the calluses on his hands, this kid was a farmer who was forced into the job and hadn't received much training.
When did the pampered soldiers of the South become so ferocious! They'd rather die than give up!
Suddenly, the veteran felt as if the pair of malevolent eyes opposite him had shifted slightly, and his scalp tingled with fear. Without thinking, he reached out his hand.
The veteran instinctively grabbed the young man's head, which was still biting a piece of flesh, from among the shattered limbs, and threw it fiercely over the city wall.
After a moment, the veteran, whose heart had been pounding, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
However, before he could calm down, the deadly horn sounded again, and swarms of ant-like black dots pushed the siege equipment, frantically approaching.
The veteran, pale-faced, rose to his feet. The pile of corpses around him shifted slightly, and a few figures numbly grabbed their blood-stained weapons, preparing to face the next wave of attacks.
But for some reason, the veteran felt a chill and the world began to spin before his eyes.
At this moment, in the open space below the city, the leaders of the Three Northern Tribes stared grimly at the dissected corpses of southern soldiers.
His organs were entangled in eerie red and black blood vessels, and his heart, with its blood vessels severed, was still beating stubbornly.
Immediately, the body, exposed to the air for a period of time, began to dissolve rapidly, and in no time, only a human skin dripping with pink blood foam remained.
Laguer, a special toxin that drains human potential!
Just as the three leaders were discussing countermeasures, chaos suddenly broke out on the city wall. Some surviving wounded soldiers, with red eyes, frantically attacked the reinforcements that came to their aid.
This thing is contagious...
Anixid's face darkened as she recalled the plague that had nearly swept through the entire Yordle City a few days earlier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Due to the earlier commotion, the enemy took the opportunity to advance.
The massive battering ram pounded the metal-clad city gate again and again, causing the cracks in the wall to spread and widen, and the barrier began to crumble.
If this drags on, neither morale nor the city walls will hold out for long.
Fortunately, while their potential was unleashed, their rationality seemed to have diminished to varying degrees, resulting in a rather loose formation.
Therefore, now is a good opportunity to defeat infantry with cavalry, and both the battle-hardened Southern Knights and the renowned Frostclaw Cavalry of the North are top-notch elites.
Their presence can greatly alleviate the pressure on the city walls and boost morale.
Anixid and Sejuani exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and each gathered their waiting cavalry units at the city gate.
As the city gates swung open, elite troops clad in plate armor and wielding two-meter-long lances surged out in orderly formation, like an iron torrent, sweeping across the land with unstoppable force.
These "poisonous people," who knew neither Affliction nor how to dodge, swarmed forward, completely lacking any means to deal with the cavalry charge.
Therefore, they were either trampled into a bloody pulp by horses' hooves or impaled by lances, and brutally strung together.
Anixid and Sejuani formed two sharp cones, splitting and intersecting each other, repeatedly plundering the formation of these poisonous beings, annihilating them in the blood-red mud.
However, just as the two cavalry units were losing momentum and preparing to turn back, a Southern Federation cavalry unit clad in full armor attacked from the flank, blocking their retreat in front of the city gate.
With the arrow already on the bowstring, they had no choice but to release it. The Southern Knights and Frostclaw Cavalry converged and charged towards the city gate.
But the moment the two sides clashed, the Yordle City soldiers, having discarded their broken lances and donned longswords, fell in unison like wheat being harvested by a scythe.
Meanwhile, Anixid, who had also exchanged blows, had her longsword knocked away, and her horse's hooves buckled, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
A strong sense of crisis made the Southern Queen feel a stinging pain between her brows. She frantically pulled on the reins, using her superb control to stop the Southern Knights' advance and force them to flank the enemy.
The soldiers, man and horse as one, ducked low and performed a difficult maneuver to avoid a head-on collision with the strange knights.
But because of this, their path back to Yordle City was lengthened, and the Southern Knights and Frostclaw Cavalry were separated, each flowing to the other side.
However, the strange knights opposite immediately pulled on the reins, using brute force to stop their horses' charge, and then flanked the Yordle City troops from both sides.
They're not normal! Retreat!
Anixid gritted her teeth, turned her horse around, and led her troops galloping towards the hilly area to the north.
Hehe, what an adorable silly rabbit...
The man leading the strange knights, a mocking glint in his eyes, immediately led his large Southern Knights' retreat.
After running for more than ten miles, Yordle City gradually disappeared from sight. The man excitedly took off his helmet, threw it aside, and no longer concealed his face.
"Before they can react, you have ten minutes to play, so don't dawdle!"
"Whoever catches this girl first owns her for a day!"
"This is a girl that Hexi cares about; she might even be her illegitimate daughter!"
Sumari's tone was cold, his gaze filled with lewdness. Behind him, half of the knights chuckled maliciously, spread their wings, abandoned their warhorses, and flew towards the Southern Knights.
In order to put on this show, he first had Laguer inject a special toxin into many humans, giving them some of the aura of angels.
Secondly, the Southern Allied forces continuously pressured Yordle City, luring Anixid's elite cavalry to charge.
Immediately afterwards, Sumari and her Male Angel, disguised as ordinary people, seized the opportunity to cut off the southern Queen's escape route, forcing her to leave Yordle City.
Without the obstruction of those three monsters, Anixid and her group were nothing more than helpless infants to the overwhelmingly superior Male Angel.
He didn't care how many Confederate soldiers died in order to achieve this goal.
Sumari curled his lips maliciously, spread his wings and flew over the Southern Knights. With a few energy blasts, the weak humans were forced into a valley.
At this moment, thousands of angels with mocking expressions were scattered in the surrounding air.
With a solemn expression, Anixid removed her helmet, drew a spare knight's sword, and let out a tragic roar.
Justice will prevail!
This action elicited mocking laughter from the Male Angel around him who were bullies who preyed on the weak.
However, at the same time, as if summoned by Anixid, space was suddenly torn open into a narrow gap.
Amidst the pitch-black void and the inverted starry sky, thousands of female angels fluttered their wings and gracefully arrived!
Spatial wormhole teleportation! How is this possible?!
Sumari's expression froze, utterly horrified, his wide eyes reflecting the figure in the Southern Knights whose fingertips emitted a faint blue light.
As his helmet was removed, Kevin, on horseback, looked at him with a mocking gaze.
At the same time, Anixid rode forward, looked at Sumari, a slight smile playing on her lips, her voice pleasant and cheerful.
"To find you, I even gave up my retirement vacation. I chased you all the way from the Angel Nebula to the Chiwu Star System. It wasn't easy finding you."
"How was it, having fun, Sumari?"
A pair of pure white wings extended from the back of this southern Queen, her body rising lightly into the air. Her face, distorted by the shattering of the runes, transformed back into her original appearance.
He... Hexi! Damn it! You guys are playing me!
Sumari was stunned. In the instant he came to his senses, he turned around, flapped his wings, and immediately fled into the distance.

Chapter 1056, Section 1001: The Deeper You Hide, the Colder It Gets
However, it was too late to escape at that moment.
Hexi raised one hand, and thousands of retired female angels, scattered in mid-air, flapped their wings slowly in a unique rhythm.
Immediately, the corresponding energy fields quickly Space Lockdown.
Sumari steeled his resolve, gathering dozens of shimmering Silver Blade around himself, preparing to force his way through the defensive line constructed by the female angels.
But the instant his thought crossed his mind, a whooshing sound rang out behind him, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, causing him to instinctively shift sideways.
With a whoosh, a silver weapon, tens of meters in diameter, with silver-white blades extending outwards on both sides and its surface decorated with intricate patterns, spun and slashed down.
Wherever the force of the energy reached, the ground was plowed with trenches tens of meters deep, and the surrounding space was deformed and distorted.
Even though the blade didn't cut into Sumari's body, the aftershocks from the weapon wildly disrupted the energy field.
This caused the Left-Wing Guardian to frantically flap his wings to alleviate the chaos and compression of the surrounding energy field, causing white feathers to fall from one wing, making him look extremely disheveled.
Due to this delay, the Merlot Heavenly Court has completed its spatial blockade, and the entire valley area has been temporarily cut off and isolated from the main body of the planet.
Even if there is a great disturbance inside, as long as the Space Lockdown network under the Merlot Heavenly Court's algorithm matrix is not breached, it cannot affect the outside world.
Therefore, this war between gods will absolutely not cause catastrophes such as moving mountains and filling seas, sinking continents, or destroying planets.
In its millennia-long struggle against demons, the Merlot Heavenly Court has developed numerous methods and conducted extensive research on how to minimize the losses of rudimentary civilizations within the battlefield.
After all, they came to carry out purification and demonstrate Just Order, not to destroy families and exterminate clans.
Sumari turned around stiffly, his voice hoarse, his expression grim as he looked at the things flying and swirling around him, and at the fortress above that resembled a suspended sword with silver metallic wings on both sides.
"Star Fate! Heavenly Blade No. 5!"
"Keisha didn't take all those deadly weapons from the armory..."
However, because this commander was the first to desert, the Male Angel around him looked at him with strange and contemptuous eyes, which made Sumari feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and his face became even more unsightly.
Hexi received a silver ceremonial sword from the angel's subordinate, and gracefully ascended the throne, basking in the worshipful and fanatical gazes of the humans in the Southern Knights.
At this moment, as the humans were excluded by the algorithm and slowly faded out of the Space Lockdown area, Hexi couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Filling the arsenal is all my job, how can these things be considered solely that tomboy's responsibility?"
Hexi rested her chin on her left hand on her throne, crossed her legs, and looked down at the trapped beasts confined in the space with a playful expression.
"This thing hasn't been touched much for tens of thousands of years, so it's perfect for using you bunch of Heavenly Scum as a guinea pig!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the Heavenly Foundation King narrowed his eyes, his right hand curled into a fist, and the ranged weapon Star Fate Slash shot out, aiming straight for Sumari.
Angel Network! Silver Blade Matrix!
Sumari felt a sharp pain between her brows, her expression changed drastically, and she roared wildly in her mind.
The sweet talk that was brewing was nipped in the bud by Hexi's relentless pursuit.
Thousands of accompanying Male Angel instinctively gathered in Sumari's direction, their thoughts synchronized, their minds linked to the leading Left-Wing Guardian.
Although his act of abandoning his teammates and running away was truly despicable, he was currently the only operator capable of unleashing the full power of the Angel Network.
With so many Melo angels blocked by them, anyone with a brain knows that if they continue to fight amongst themselves, none of them will survive!
We're all in this together anyway, what else can we do? We'll fight!
Faced with dire circumstances, the Male Angel were stirred to a bloodthirsty and frenzied struggle for survival, and the Angel Network's algorithm power was turned up to the maximum.
In an instant, clusters of Dark Silver weapons swirled and danced, converging into a massive silver torrent that intercepted the Star Fate that was cutting horizontally towards them.
Instantly, the clanging of metal against metal filled the air as countless Silver Blades were deflected by the sharp edge of the Star Fate Whirlwind Slash, while a continuous barrage of flying knives surged forward.
Amidst the interplay of light, the ejected energy shockwaves spread in all directions, carving furrows into the earth, transforming it in moments into something resembling the Lunar Surface after a meteorite impact.
Under the combined suppression of Heavenly Blade No. 5 and these retired veterans, the area of operation that Sumari and his group had established using the Silver Blade Matrix was being continuously compressed.
In the blink of an eye, two Male Angel were exposed at the edge beyond the reach of the Silver Blade.
