Chapter 113 [The Dragon Throne] Ames
Meanwhile, Goya, who was guarding the perimeter, sent word: "Holled has left the slave market, and judging from his route, he is heading to the docks. It is likely that they have changed their plans to have the buyers pick up the goods themselves."
Upon hearing this news, everyone's expression immediately changed.
"In that case, we have no choice but to charge straight in and make sure they don't meet up!"
These words immediately won the approval of everyone, and they rushed towards Paige without hesitation.
Finally, when Pike was still a few hundred meters away from his spaceship, they intercepted him.
"superior!"
With a loud shout, more than two hundred mercenaries immediately tore off their disguises, revealing their combat suits, and unleashed their various abilities, charging towards Pike's team!
Li Yuan, Han Xiao, Hela, and others were also among the rushing troops, and joined in the attack.
"Hmph, I knew it!" Pike sneered and immediately ordered his men to draw their guns and retaliate.
He was very cunning; while retaliating, he also secretly shot at other thugs, dragging other gangs into the fray.
Instantly, bullets flew everywhere, and many stray bullets hit the nearby rioters, which immediately aroused a roar of anger.
"Who! Who hit me?!"
"Damn mercenaries!"
"You're asking for it! Beat them back hard!"
The rioters caught in the crossfire immediately joined the battle, and in an instant, a massive melee broke out.
Among the villains caught in the crossfire were also B-level superhumans. The Blade and Purple Gold team leaders were stopped by them and engaged in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, a group of space pirates blocked the way for the Xuanji Mercenary Group, including a B-level superhuman.
Seeing this, Melos unleashed a powerful silver-white martial arts aura, his ship-slaying sword flashing brilliantly at the charging pirate, while he roared, "I'll hold him off, don't stop!"
At this moment, all the powerful enemies were stopped. Han Xiao and Hela rushed straight towards Paiji, while Li Yuan protected Aurora and also chased after Paiji.
boom!
The mecha on Han Xiao suddenly erupted with powerful energy, sending the Paiji subordinates blocking his way flying.
"Stop fighting, board the ship immediately!"
Paige's body swelled up, his clothes ripped with a ripping sound, and he transformed into a pale golden python over ten meters long, coiling his body around Han Xiao.
He was trying to hold off Han Xiao by himself so that his subordinates, who were carrying the Silver Spirit prisoners, could quickly return to the spaceship.
Using the burst of energy, Han Xiao propelled the mobile module to its maximum power.
In an instant, the ground cracked, and he soared into the air, appearing before Pike like a phantom. His mechanical hand, the size of a washbasin, grabbed Pike's snake head in a flash and slammed it hard into the ground.
boom!
The snake's head was driven deep into the ground by his palm, and countless cracks spread out in all directions.
The giant python that Pyki had transformed into instantly became a bloody mess, and its body convulsed violently!
After all, he was just a C-level shapeshifter, and he could only be crushed by Han Xiao when he was going all out, and he couldn't even last a second.
Just as Han Xiao's other iron fist was about to strike, a look of fear appeared in Pike's eyes. Then, his snake body disintegrated and turned into thousands of small snakes that scattered.
This is a special application of his transformation ability, and also his means of survival. He has relied on this move to escape many deadly crises.
This time, although he escaped Han Xiao's iron fist, he could not escape the rain of fire that fell from the sky.
Li Yuan flicked his wrist, sending a fireball soaring into the air. In the blink of an eye, countless lines of fire shot out, each piercing through a small snake.
In the blink of an eye, all the little snakes burst into flames and turned to ashes.
Pike, dead!
Suddenly, Li Yuan noticed a jet-black bead fall from the mouth of one of the small snakes, so he caught it and put it away.
Meanwhile, Hela had already dealt with Pike's men and seized the iron box containing the Silver Spirit.
Seeing this, Blade and Purple Gold's men were overjoyed: "Quickly get them onto our spaceship and retreat! Don't linger!"
Having captured the Silver Spirit, the mission was half complete. The group immediately changed direction and rushed towards their own spaceship.
Just then, five aircraft belonging to the Dragon Tan Guard suddenly appeared in the sky, and Holland was among them.
Upon seeing the chaotic scene below, the five Dragon Tank aircraft immediately began firing at the ground, golden lasers raining down like a torrential downpour, killing the thugs one by one.
The thugs who were originally fighting immediately abandoned all pretense of saving face and scattered in all directions.
"Everyone, listen up! Stop immediately and disarm yourselves, or you will be killed without mercy!"
As the Longtan Guard broadcasted their message, artillery fire continued relentlessly, relentlessly mowing down the mercenaries, who were frequently knocked to the ground.
"Damn it, the Dragon Tan Guard has intervened! We're being watched!" Blade's leader said through gritted teeth, filled with shock and anger.
The favorable situation took an instant turn for the worse. Given the firepower of the Longtan Guard, they would surely suffer heavy casualties by the time they reached the spaceship.
However, if they surrender now, the Silver Spirits will still be taken away by Holland and sold into slavery, which would mean the rescue operation has failed.
"As long as we control the Longtan Guard, we can slip away!" Han Xiao came up with a perfect solution. "Goya!"
"I've arrived, let's get started!" Goya's figure appeared not far away.
Previously, because her Sky Ring Mercenary Group was lying in ambush around the slave market, she did not have time to arrive at the dock to participate in the siege of Pike.
But now, at this crucial moment, they have finally arrived!
At this moment, Goya's eyes suddenly turned snow-white, a magical mark appeared on his forehead, and he murmured an ethereal incantation. The magic ring on his finger shone with brilliant light.
The free-floating magical elements converged and, under the combined influence of incantations, magic power, secret arrays, and magical artifacts, began to exert their power.
Suddenly, a large amount of low-temperature water vapor appeared in the nearby air, and five ice pillars suddenly rose from the ground, capturing the five Dragon Tan Guard aircraft like claws and turning them into ice sculptures.
Goya is a B-rank mage with strong control over magic. Although she froze the aircraft, she did not harm the people inside.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the mercenaries gathered together and hurriedly boarded their respective spaceships.
Li Yuan and his group of Xuanji mercenaries naturally still hitched a ride on Tianhuan's spaceship.
The spaceship pilots, who were already prepared, immediately took off and flew away from Longtanfu Island.
The box containing the Silver Spirits was naturally taken aboard the spaceship by Hela. As soon as the lid was opened, the fifteen Silver Spirits were found huddled inside.
"You're safe now. We are mercenaries hired by your companions, and we've come here specifically to rescue you." Goya casually cast a calming spell to soothe the Silver Spirits' emotions, then had his team members give them translators to wear before they began communicating with them.
Immediately afterward, they contacted the employers of the mission, and the two groups of Silver Spirits finally met.
"Why are there only fifteen people? Where are the other two companions?" The employer counted the number of people and found that two were missing.
The rescued Silver Spirits were filled with sorrow: "The two of them were thrown into space by scavengers, and their bodies were already cold."
""
After a moment of silence, the employer said to Goa, "You have done a good job. Please bring our companions back safely, and I will pay you the agreed reward."
Upon hearing this, the mercenaries in the spaceship immediately beamed with joy.
boom!
Suddenly, the spaceship began to shake violently, and everyone almost fell over.
The pilot exclaimed urgently, "Damn it! Dragon's Lair has dispatched a spaceship to pursue us!"
Everyone's expression changed, and they went to the porthole to look behind the spaceship.
At this moment, the spaceships of the three major mercenary groups had already broken away from the artificial ecological shield of Longtan Floating Island and entered space, moving away from the floating island.
However, several ships from the floating island of Lontan emerged and began firing at their ships, lasers constantly striking their shields.
"Activate the warp drive immediately! Once we're in warp mode, they won't be able to catch up with us!" Goya shouted.
While maneuvering the spaceship to evade attacks from behind, the pilot also intensified the activation of the warp drive.
As the starry sky outside the window gradually blurred, the spaceship was about to enter a warp drive.
However, just a second before the jump, the spaceship suddenly froze without warning. All kinetic energy and inertia seemed to vanish into thin air, and no one even noticed the slightest vibration.
Suddenly, the air inside the spaceship began to vibrate and hum inexplicably, creating a terrifying sonic boom: "You think you can just walk away so easily after attacking my men in my own home?"
The next moment, the three mercenary groups' spaceships seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and flew back along the same path.
Goya's eyes widened in shock: "We only made a little noise, how could it have attracted the attention of the Dragon Tan Controller?!"
boom!
The three mercenary groups' spaceships were pulled directly from space back to the floating island dock by an invisible force field. The hatches were torn open, and the people inside had no choice but to grit their teeth and walk out.
Faced with such immense power, resistance is futile.
Above the dock, a throne made of the bones of a void dragon floated steadily in mid-air.
A tall, graceful woman leaned against the throne, her legs crossed, her long, flowing black hair hanging down to the throne, at least two meters long.
She wore a long, sheer black dress with a high slit that revealed two long, white legs crossed together, resembling two white snakes in mating, exuding an alluring aura.
At this moment, she casually draped one hand over the armrest of the chair, while resting her chin on her other hand, her face full of curiosity as she scanned the crowd emerging from the spaceship.
This woman is the creator and controller of Dragon Tan Floating Island, and one of the four Super A-level powerhouses of the Shattered Star Ring—
1. [Dragon Throne] Ames.
She is a superhuman who can manipulate force fields, with a force field strength capable of tearing apart landmasses, making it easy for her to control several small spaceships.
Under Ames's watchful gaze, none of the members of Sky Ring, Blade's Edge, or Purple Gold dared to move rashly. They could only stand there anxiously, awaiting their fate.
Li Yuan and Han Xiao, of course, wouldn't be out of their minds at this moment. They signaled to their mercenary group members to remain calm and not to make any rash moves.
After glancing at the Silver Spirit prisoners standing to the side, Ames roughly guessed what had happened and said with interest, "So you're Silver Spirits. Are you mercenaries hired by the Silver Spirits to rescue them?"
Goya forced a smile and said, "Yes, these Silver Spirits were sold to Dragon Tan Floating Island, so we tracked them down. We apologize for the accidental damage, but we hope you can let them go back."
She tried one last time, hoping that Ames would show leniency, after all, the Silver Spirits were cosmic nobles with a powerful background.
However, Ames simply smiled faintly: "This is the Shattered Ring, not the Protoss Sea."
The Star Spirit Sea is the home of the Silver Spirit civilization and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Radiant Federation.
Having said that, she directly controlled the throne to fly towards her residence in the center of the floating island, leaving only one sentence: "Bring all the mercenaries here."
The Silver Spirit captives were led by Holland and a squad of guards toward the slave market.
The mercenaries watched helplessly as the Silver Spirit was taken away, but there was nothing they could do. They could only obediently walk towards the center of the floating island under the escort of the Dragon Tan Guard.
In the center of the island of Longtanfu lies Ames's residence.
This is a huge fortress that resembles a palace, decorated with dragon bones everywhere, giving it a unique aesthetic appeal.
The group of mercenaries passed through room after room and finally entered an exquisite hall to await their fate.
After a while, Ames floated in through a side door of the hall, her throne hovering before everyone. She said casually, "You attacked my subordinates. Although there were no casualties, I still have to punish you. Visander, what are our rules?"
A hybrid demon emerged, with a pair of distinctive horns on its head, fiery red skin covered in patterns, and a pair of bony wings on its back, its tail swishing back and forth.
He was Visander, the commander-in-chief of the Luntan Guard.
He glanced at the group of mercenaries, squinted, stroked his sparse goatee, and said, "According to the rules, anyone who fights back will be executed."
Ames nodded: "Then let's lock up the people from Sky Ring, Blade, and Purple Gold first, and let their legion commanders come to ransom them."
Visander choked for a moment: "That—the rule is execution—"
"My word is law." Ames leaned back on the throne with the air of a tyrant, her tone indifferent yet exuding domineering power.
"Yes." Visander's eyes twitched.
"Contact your legion commanders and make them pay up, then I'll release you." Ames glanced at the leaders of the three mercenary groups.
She used to hire the three major mercenary legions to do some things, and each time the legion commanders would personally help her without charging her any fees, just to befriend her.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Since no significant losses were incurred this time, she didn't want to make things too difficult for the three major mercenary groups.
Then, she turned her gaze to the members of the Xuanji Mercenary Group, her eyes sweeping over Li Yuan, Han Xiao, and Hela: "Next, it's your turn."
"If you have nothing to say, I'm going to do it now."
The expressions of the members of the three mercenary groups immediately changed. As comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, they all became anxious.
Just then, Han Xiao suddenly stepped forward and out of the group, as if he had something to say.
