Operation to Save Celerus!

Upon witnessing this scene, Alvin's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

What's going on? They've only been gone for less than a day, how could Celerus have fallen so quickly in such a short time?

Is Drakris a shit eater?!

Almost the entire Celerus Hive City was ablaze with raging flames, and in the intense firelight, billowing smoke resembled demons lurking in the sky!

The twisted and blasphemous Hell Dragon roared, its wings tearing through the thick smoke-filled black curtain as it charged toward the heart of the Hive City.

In the more peripheral areas, countless Genestealer, as if possessed, surged forth like a tidal wave!

On the steel walls of the Hive City, anti-aircraft turrets were already firing at full power!

The blazing torrent of metal, like a torrential downpour covering the sky, relentlessly poured out its firepower, briefly and laboriously halting the enemy's advance.

"Lord Alvin, it seems we can't go back."

As Inquisitor, Marshall could see at a glance that, given the current situation, their desire to return was simply a pipe dream!

Not to mention, with such a small number of people, how could they possibly get through the layers of Genestealer surrounding the Hive City? Even if they could manage to break in, Drakris would never risk having the city breached to open the door for them!

Besides, those hundreds of anti-aircraft guns don't distinguish between friend and foe.

"No, no!" Alvin clenched his fists, veins bulging around his eyes, his pupils bloodshot. "I have to go back!"

Upon hearing this, Marshall frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something. "Is there someone very important in the city?"

"Right."

Alvin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.

He needs to stay calm and think about how to resolve Celerus's current predicament!

It didn't matter if Drakris died, but Elsa, Penny, and Tucker were all in Hive City, and he couldn't abandon them!

"Excuse my bluntness, Lord Alvin," Marshall said expressionlessly, looking at Alvin in a low voice, "I understand your feelings, but the reality is, we don't have the ability to rescue those people, much less salvage the current situation."

Alvin's face was grim, and he remained silent.

However, his clenched, white knuckles and the throbbing veins at his temples revealed that he was not at peace.

As the Inquisitor stated, rationally speaking, abandoning the rescue was the best option.

But he refused!

He promised Elsa that once the war was over, he would take her to see the grasslands, Snow Mountains, lakes, sunrises, and sunsets.

Besides, Penny was inside; that girl saved him twice!

And then there's Tucker. If it weren't for Tucker back in Los Selby, he probably wouldn't even know where he is now!

If even those people give up on him, is he still himself?

Alvin clenched his fist tightly, the hesitation in his eyes vanishing, replaced by determination. "No, you can leave, I'm staying!"

"Have you thought this through?" Marshall raised an eyebrow, looking at him with interest. "Staying here means certain death."

"I know."

Alvin remained expressionless and spoke calmly.

"You knew you'd still stay?"

Marshall raised an eyebrow, looking into Alvin's serious eyes, and seemed to sense something. "Wait, you're not the kind of reckless person!"

"Your Inquisitor, would you be willing to take a gamble with me?"

At that moment, Alvin suddenly turned his head, his expression seemingly mixed with madness, which was chilling.

Marshall's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you betting?"

"Let's bet." Alvin raised his hand, pointing to the burning Hive City, his eyes filled with madness. "Can I break into the Hive City, rescue the people, and become the savior of Celerus!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Even though Marshall had served as Inquisitor for a long time and was considered a well-informed person, he was still shocked by the madness in Alvin's words.

He couldn't understand why Alvin was so persistent!

But after a few seconds of silence, Marshall asked in a low voice, looking directly at Alvin, "How confident are you?"

"Don't ask, the answer is 100%." Even now, Alvin remained mysterious.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but even he himself didn't know how confident he was of success, after all, this was a real war!

I don't think your actions were a rational choice.

Marshall closed his eyes, paused for a few seconds, then reopened them, his gaze flashing with a chilling light. "But, as Inquisitor, I admire your courage, Your Lord Alvin."

"Forget the flattery, let's get down to business." Alvin stared at him intently, as if he wanted to strip him naked.

What kind of help do you need?

Marshall was quick to agree, saying directly, "I'll grant you any request within my power!"

"Weren't you planning to leave?" Alvin was somewhat surprised; Marshall's quick agreement exceeded his expectations.

I thought I'd have to say a few more words, but it was accomplished so easily!

"Don't forget, I'm an Inquisitor."

Marshall remained expressionless, but a slight smile played on his lips as he said, "Reason tells me that the possibility of reversing the situation in Celerus is zero, but... I believe in you, just like the miracle you showed me in the ruins!"

"I won't waste any more words. Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency Marshall."

Alvin took a deep breath and then revealed his plan. "I need you to Deadwood District, where there should be 'Knight Family' stationed. Please, in your name and in the name of Inquisitor Winnie, summon the Knight Family to assist us!"

The Deadwood District, as the largest noble community on Alert Star, boasts the most advanced medical and life-extending technologies!

Therefore, some "Knight Family" chose to station "knights" here and cooperate with Agamemnon.

However, medical life-extending technology is not as valuable to the enemy as other sectors, so it did not suffer particularly fierce attacks.

However, drawing away "knights" is by no means an easy task.

Unless there is a "Inquisitor" who can coerce the cowardly nobles with overwhelming power, it is impossible to get them to give in!

This task requires Marshall!

He reluctantly handed the "Rose Knot" to Marshall.

Taking the badge, Marshall remained puzzled. "Even with the assistance of the Knight Family, a mere few knights couldn't possibly break through the outer defenses of Celerus. Besides, it would take at least seven days!"

He cast his gaze upon the burning Hive City and sighed helplessly, "At the current rate of the enemy's offensive, the Hive City will hardly hold out until I return."

"I understand your concerns, but please don't worry."

Alvin turned and strode resolutely towards the burning Hive City: "Seven days. I guarantee Celerus will not fall!"

Next, it's time for his legion to make its appearance!

Since the enemy wants war, let them have war. Let blood and fire become the Forge for forging an iron-blooded throne!

There should be another chapter tonight, so please stop calling me a heretic, I'm just too loyal!
