A little earlier, before dawn outside the cabin, as Angel Yan and Zhixin were preparing to descend to find Su Luo, on the other side of the planet.
A demon squad, sent again by Morgana, approached stealthily and finally reached the planet that intelligence indicated had already been cleared by the Angels.
Looking at the planet below, the demons in the squad all wore cruel and excited smiles.
"Hmph, we were careful all the way, and we've finally arrived!"
"That's right, we've finally arrived! We suffered too many losses fighting those roasted geese last time. We've been holed up and developing for so many years, we've been dying to get out! Now we can finally relax and be free!"
"Praise Queen Morgana, we can finally come out and vent!"
"..."
In the squad's communication channel, several demons were constantly expressing their pent-up frustrations and their excitement for the release that was about to come.
"Alright, stop talking. Remember the mission Queen Morgana gave us: cause as much trouble as possible here, tie up the Angel Civilization's attention. The demon legion still needs time to develop! Those roasted geese just cleared this planet, and with their arrogant nature, they definitely won't stay here long. This is our chance, we need to make a big splash! Make them pay for their pride! Queen Morgana above!"
"Understood! Queen Morgana above!"
A group of demons shouted "Queen Morgana above!" in the communication channel, and then excitedly flew towards the planet below.
Perhaps because they thought the Angels had already left the planet and wouldn't return anytime soon, the demon squad didn't gather in one place this time. Instead, they dispersed, with seven or eight demons heading to different locations.
They were going to fulfill the freedom Queen Morgana had bestowed upon them!
Whether it was burning, killing, looting, or anything else... as long as they were willing to do it, as long as they wanted to do it, they could do it!
Furthermore, to ensure they could cause significant trouble for the Angels, the squad members had also brought something special. They planned to spread demon genes on this planet under Angel rule, to seek revenge and humiliate the Angel Civilization severely!
With wicked smiles on their faces, the demons each locked onto towns or villages below, composed of mortals completely unable to resist them... like giants stepping into a children's playground...
On the other side of the planet, Angel Yan and Zhixin, whose attention was entirely focused on Su Luo, did not notice the arrival of those demons. Akashi's search radar also couldn't directly detect the other side of the planet. They were completely unaware of what was happening and about to happen on the other side of the planet.
Putting Angel Yan and Zhixin aside for now, Akashi wouldn't have cared even if she had known. At most, she would have thought of ways to better protect her Commander!
Therefore, the focus now was on confirming the origin and purpose of Angel Yan and Zhixin.
"Don't be nervous, little girl. We are the Sacred Wings of the Merlot Heavenly Court. I am Angel Yan, and she is Zhixin. We mean no harm; we are here for you!"
Angel Yan's tone, tinged with pride, reached Akashi's ears, causing her to frown slightly. Su Luo listened from the side. He raised an eyebrow upon hearing the names Angel Yan and Zhixin but said nothing.
"Merlot Heavenly Court? Sacred Wings? Angels? I don't know, and I don't want to know! I just want to know your purpose!"
"Little girl, there's no need to be nervous. I swear on the pride of an Angel that we mean absolutely no harm!"
"Even if you say so, I can't verify your words. Bad people can also swear that they are good people! But no matter how they swear, they can't hide the fact that they are bad people!"
Akashi wasn't buying Angel Yan and Zhixin's story.
"Little girl, considering you've only recently arrived in this universe and don't understand the Angel Civilization, I won't hold you accountable for insulting the pride of an Angel just now! So... how do you wish for us to prove that we truly mean you no harm?"
"Anyone can say empty words. Show us with actions that you truly mean no harm!"
Akashi narrowed her eyes, looking up at the two figures bathed in sunlight, seemingly glowing. No, they were two Angels.
"Actions?"
Angel Yan and Zhixin exchanged glances.
The other party knew nothing about them, and was very wary... Although they could directly transport themselves through wormholes, this was, after all, the future god-king. Doing so might lead to animosity, and their wariness would only increase, making it difficult to gain favor!
"So... how to prove it with actions..."
Angel Yan thought this and looked at Zhixin beside her, her expression a little strange, as if she had made a decision. She paused, seemingly understanding what Zhixin was about to do, and her face changed drastically.
Before she could think further, their voices came out almost simultaneously.
"I am willing to become Su Luo's guardian angel, to love what he..."
"I am willing to become Su Luo's guardian angel..."
Zhixin made her decision first, so she spoke the oath first. Angel Yan wanted to snatch the words from Zhixin and suppress Zhixin's intentions, but she was a little too late.
"Akashi, fire!"
Having heard the beginning and guessed what the other party was about to do, Su Luo gave the order to Akashi after only a moment's thought.
There was no free lunch. Swearing an oath right from the start clearly indicated they were after something he possessed. Although he didn't know what the Angels were really after yet. In any case, blocking them was the right move.
Thus, both Angels only managed to say one sentence of their oath, not even finishing the second, before they stopped.
After quickly dodging Akashi's anti-air artillery fire, Zhixin and Angel Yan looked at each other, appearing surprised by each other's choice, or perhaps not surprised at all.
In any case, the atmosphere between them instantly turned cold. Coupled with Su Luo's order to fire and stop their oath, they seemed to have been struck and became even quieter.
When had any Angel's oath ever been interrupted by their god-king? They were... unprecedented!
In Akashi's communication channel, their voices were gone.
They had gone quiet, but Akashi, after carrying out Su Luo's order and understanding some things, had something to say.
Although she didn't understand what "guardian angel" meant, as her only concept of a guardian angel was the name of a set of clothes the Commander had bought from her shop for the Unicorn – "Pure White Guardian Angel," a name Akashi had thought of for a long time!
However, Zhixin had spoken faster, and she had clearly heard the latter half of the sentence that had already been spoken.
"Love what? Love what he loves?"
Akashi was like a provoked cat, her expression fierce. Though, in Su Luo's opinion, she was still quite cute.
"I asked you to prove you had no ill intentions towards us with your actions, and this is how you do it?"
Akashi put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at the two Angels in the sky.
"I... cough... not everyone in the port has been assigned yet! And you want to snatch the Commander?!!!"
"And you say you have no ill intentions, meow? You clearly have great ill intentions towards us, meow!!!"
"Go on, get out of here!!! If you don't leave, I'll shoot you all down with anti-air guns!!!"
"..."
Sensing what the two Angels intended, Akashi, at that moment, showed Su Luo, Azi, Angel Yan, and Zhixin what "a silver tongue" truly meant.
Akashi unleashed a barrage of words at Angel Yan and Zhixin. However, due to the tense atmosphere between the two Angels and the blow they had just suffered from Su Luo preventing their oath, they offered no rebuttal...
Finally, Su Luo, who had been frowning and silently contemplating for a long time, spoke up, stopping Akashi from continuing her tirade against the two Angels.
"Alright, Akashi, calm down. They can't snatch the Commander. You have to trust the Commander!"
He pulled Akashi into his embrace, stroking her head. After a moment, Akashi finally calmed down.
"Commander, they..."
"Alright, Akashi. You have to trust the Commander, and also trust the charm of everyone in the port! How could the Commander be easily swayed by others, right?"
Su Luo's tone was very gentle as he spoke, stroking Akashi's hair.
Akashi gradually calmed down, leaning into Su Luo's embrace and nodding silently.
Seeing that Akashi had calmed down, Su Luo smiled. Then, he raised his head, the smile vanishing from his face. With a calm and distant expression, he looked at Angel Yan and Zhixin in the sky and spoke in a flat tone.
"Ladies, please come down as well! We don't need to talk about what just happened. Just state your purpose!"
