hunting light

As a half-life soldier, he drove a mecha to defeat the emperor of the country, and as a dark sentinel known as a "humanoid weapon", Leonardo III has experienced countless battles in his life.

He once led the legion, broke through the enemy's dense camp like black clouds, and released the shrouded golden light of the sun; he once went straight to the dangerous and desperate situation with a single machine and two swords, and completed impossible and difficult tasks.

He also used to push the country with a large army, but took back the entire planet without leaving a single blade; he also once dominated the political arena and created endless legends of heroes...

As for the battle of the Betsy star ring, in terms of scale, it was very inconspicuous among the battles that Leonardo III experienced.In the end, the total number of people on both sides participating in the battle was less than [-].

In terms of the degree of tragedy, it still cannot be ranked.Even though the Betsy star ring was detonated and destroyed in the end, the number of casualties was less than [-] due to the timely evacuation of a large number of people.

But the battle of Betsy was a watershed in life for Leon III.God swung his sword and cut a moat, splitting the man's life into two stages.

Before this battle, Leon was just a young man.Sitting behind the scenes, assisting the father and sending him to the radiant throne.After being bloodbathed by the war, he became a real man.He was pushed onto the stage by the torrent of fate, and lifted up a huge mountain that suddenly fell down.

The tragic victory of this battle also laid the foundation for Leon III's strong implementation of religious reforms in the future.

When Leon jumped out of the wormhole and arrived at the battlefield outside Betsy's star ring, the revolutionary army was actually occupying the upper hand.The Holy See army retreated step by step, almost colliding with the magnetic field of the star ring.

Leon's arrival greatly boosted the morale of the revolutionary army.The Holy See army retreated steadily, and retreated towards the Betsy star ring.The star ring's magnetic field gate reopened.

Rich combat experience told Leon that there must be ambushes in the star ring.But it also contained his imprisoned father, and Emperor Raphael in hiding.

Under the command of Leon, the revolutionary army was divided into two groups. The large force was led by Colonel Kent Hughes to hold back the footsteps of the Holy See army and destroy the magnetic field of the star ring.The squad follows Leon into the hinterland of Betsy and implements a rescue plan.

As Leon expected, as soon as he passed through the magnetic field gate of the star ring, the Holy See army ambushed in the star ring, like a group of wasps whose nest was invaded, outflanked him!

"Isn't it beautiful?" Raphael's voice came from behind.

The Duke of Oran did not turn around.

Elsa really fulfilled her promise and quickly moved the Duke of Oran to a room with wide windows, so that he could enjoy the air force combat in the sky.

Although the ring's atmosphere is thin, there is already enough air.When the fighter plane exploded, it was full of flames and billowing flames, and the scene was quite heroic.

"It's like an air force exercise." Raphael walked behind the Duke of Oran, and joined him in the firefight in the sky, "Can you tell which mecha is Leon, Anthony?"

The exchange of fire in the air is getting lower and lower, and the fighter planes and mechs are already faintly visible. Alpha's five senses are better than ordinary people, the Duke of Oran may indeed have seen Leon.

Sure enough, the duke said: "It's easy, Your Majesty. The one with the most agile figure, the most fierce movements, and the most invincible is my son."

Raphael looked up for a long time, but he had no idea, so he could only smile: "When you gave birth to this child, did you think that he would become what he is today?"

"I'm no different from ordinary parents," said the Duke. "I'm naturally looking forward to success."

Rafael said: "I mean, when you were cultivating that embryo, did you really believe in the legend about 'him', or did you just hold the mentality of trying?"

The Duke of Oran finally turned his face away.

"Yes, I am the emperor, and I have read the details of the last instruction left by Emperor Brad." Raphael snorted, "I know that this ancestor left behind a crazy thing, but I didn't know that it was Where. When you lost the throne and were sent to Fryer Star by my father, he allowed you to take some royal jewels. Among the things you picked, there is a relic of the great ancestor Emperor Brad, A Easter egg. 'It' is in there, right?"

The Duke of Oran said nothing.

"Every child in the Coleman family has heard the legend of Coleman since childhood." Raphael said, "Be a warrior and return to the light, blah blah. We all think it's just an inspiring motto. But You discovered the meaning behind this sentence, didn't you? How did you know that the secret was in that easter egg?"

"I'm curious instead, why don't you know?" The Duke of Oran asked back, "In the Hall of Valor in the Champs Elysees Palace, in the self-portrait that Brad the Great liked the most, he is holding that egg. The first touch of light every morning will be projected onto the egg through the stained glass window across the hall, printing a green leaf."

Raphael froze.

"Our family's ancestors have lived in the Champs Elysees Palace for generations, and people have walked past the portraits of the great emperors countless times. We enjoy the land and wealth accumulated by our ancestors, but we have never bothered to look at their portraits. In addition, the emperor once said a word: "The first light in the morning will dispel the despair of the night. Where it shines is the place where hope sprouts.""

The Duke of Oran smiled slightly at Raphael: "Sounds very normal, doesn't it? But when I knelt in front of the portrait of my ancestors after my parents died, praying all night and begging for his protection. When I saw in the morning light When the egg is illuminated, I know that the heroic spirit of the ancestors has never gone far."

The Duke of Oran exploded into the sky one after another: "Tell me, Raphael, could it be that the ancestors came back because they couldn't see the incompetence and depravity of us younger generations?"

At this moment, Raphael finally found the black flame-like figure of Asura in the fierce battle in the sky, and suddenly shuddered.

Leon's momentum was like a bamboo, and in less than 10 minutes, he had already broken through the triple defense line of the Holy See Army and approached Betsy Palace step by step.

But the Holy See army also suddenly changed, tearing off the veil that was used to paralyze the enemy before, revealing their true strength.

In the eyes of everyone, a second-level wormhole door opened above Betsy Palace, and the shuttle ships of the Holy See army poured out of it continuously!

No one thought that this star ring, which has been neglected as a deserted palace for a long time, actually hides a second-level wormhole door!

This is how the Holy See army sneaked into the Byron Empire without anyone noticing: Raphael secretly opened the door of his house for them.

The soldiers who survived that battle still had lingering fears when they mentioned the Holy See Army afterwards.

"Divine force," they describe it.

The battleships and mechs of the Revolutionary Army were equipped with the most advanced and high-end equipment at that time. However, in front of the artillery fire of the Holy See Army, they were still like a row of paper toys facing the flood from the embankment.

Without the empathy assistance of the Light Guide, the Dark Sentinel is indeed just a powerful individual soldier.Even though the Aurora Mecha like Asura could withstand part of the attack, the Revolutionary Army was immediately smashed to pieces.

At this time, Ashura's cockpit received a communication request from Gercia.

After finishing lobbying Louis, Gercia returned to the imperial capital ahead of schedule.He also received an urgent report from the Duke of Oran on the way, and after discussing with the Duke, he made a decision.

If Gercia's starship also jumps into the wormhole, it will lose contact with the outside world in a short time.If the Duke of Oran loses his personal freedom and Leon is in the wormhole, their organization will fall into a leaderless situation.

So Gercia advanced rapidly according to the normal driving method, and at the same time took over from the Duke to remotely control the whole field.

After the Duke of Oran was detained in the Betsy Palace, the coup d'état was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Gercia!

"Your father has told you, son." Gercia's voice was calm, conveying a warm and heavy strength, "He wants me to tell you that if he is physically restricted, we will try our best to rescue him. If conditions are not allowed, we will give up rescue."

Colonel Hughes yelled in the communication: "General, there are more and more Holy See troops, we can hold on for another 5 minutes at most..."

"Okay, 5 minutes!" Leon cut a mecha that was blocking the way in two, "After 5 minutes, even if the Duke can't be rescued, I will retreat with you."

It was 5 minutes of bloody hell!

From the sky to the ground, the light and shadow of dense shells interweave into a fine net.

Asura was a swift in the net, struggling to fly, dodging the rain of bullets, and desperately rushed towards the palace on the ground.

"What a good boy!" Raphael exclaimed. "I bet if I were in prison, my sons would not come to my rescue like this. They would be eager to replace me and take my place. They don't care if I live or die. You It's enviable, Anthony."

"I will not be the one to open the door of my own house and let the enemy in." The Duke said coldly, "Your father will be ashamed of you, Raphael. Uncle Felix is ​​actually full of vigilance and hatred towards the Holy See , flattery, you don't know."

"This is Elsa's idea. I dare not take this honor." Raphael sneered back, "As for my father, I hate and disdain him no less than you. You don't have to use him to overwhelm me. Anthony."

"This is a fair battle." Princess Elsa walked over slowly. Compared with Raphael's fanaticism, she was always calm and calm, "You can coup, cousin, and we can also borrow troops from the Holy See. Fight for Power ultimately depends on force, isn’t it?”

"It's just obvious that the goddess of victory is on our side." Raphael's eyes sparkled with excitement, "The large force of the Holy See army is still behind. You can ride a starship with us later, Look at the scene where your army was slaughtered, Anthony. Don't worry about your son. The Holy See wants him alive, and it will be of great use to him. As for your bitch, there is no guarantee..."

The pupils of the Duke of Oran shrank severely.

Stray bullets kept falling near Betsy Palace, hitting the protective screen above the palace.It was clear that Betsy Palace was about to become a battlefield, not a place of safety.

Winston made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the royal family to evacuate.

Under the escort of the guards, Raphael walked quickly towards the starship on the tarmac, followed by Elsa.The Duke of Oran was escorted by the soldiers and walked last.

The Duke of Oran walked calmly, looking up at the sky all the time, his eyes firmly following the black stream of fire.

There were constant shells, and even a fighter plane crashed, hit the protective cover, and exploded into a ball of flames.And the wormhole above Betsy Palace is like a huge mouth, constantly spitting out the shuttle ships of the Holy See Army.

Asura has been hovering above the Betsy Palace, the firepower of the Holy See Army poured on him, and more and more stray bullets hit the protective screen of the palace.

The sixth sense triggered Elsa's alarm bell at this time.She glanced back at the Duke of Oran and asked the soldier, "You searched him, didn't you?"

"Of course, Your Highness." The soldier said.

Elsa stared at the smiling side face of the Duke of Oran, her uneasiness expanded wildly.

A woman's intuition takes over at this time.She blurted out: "Take him underground—"

"Be careful—" the soldier roared.

Before everyone could react, an annihilation-level light bullet pierced through the shield with a buzz and hit Betsy Palace behind them.

The magnificent palace instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames. Flames shot out from every window, the building shattered, and the shock wave swept the surroundings, and everyone on the tarmac outside the house was blown up like fallen leaves.

When everyone opened their eyes in the pain and severe dizziness, they found that there was one person missing.

It's the Duke of Oran!

Over the years, people have always regarded him as a politician and got used to him appearing in front of the camera in suits and ties, but ignored his military background.

Obviously, even though the Duke of Oran has reached middle age, his skills have never been rusted.He is still nimble, strong and powerful, and knows all the modes of fighting.

The man counted the time to minutes and seconds, as if he knew that such a shell would land.He neatly dodged behind a bulletproof armored vehicle, escaped the strongest explosion impact, and then broke free from the shackles and regained his freedom.

"Where is he?" Raphael yelled.

The sound of warship engines answered his question.

A small shuttle took off and passed over everyone's heads, like an eagle that had escaped from its cage, flapping its wings and flying into the sky.

The Duke of Oran, who took off his suit jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves, sat in the cockpit with a wide smile, and gave a military salute to the person below.

The shuttle passed through the palace's protective shield, soared into the sky, and broke into the intense firefight.

Many warships in the Holy See Army had been disguised as royal warships before, and the shuttle ship of the Duke of Oran blended into the Holy See Army without attracting the attention of the other party.

Asura made a [-]-degree sharp turn in mid-air, diverting the hot pursuit artillery fire to the opposite direction and covering for the Duke.

After all, the Marquis of Winston was a war veteran. Although his eyes were not as sharp as before, he immediately judged the intention of the Duke of Oran from the direction the shuttle was leaving.

"He's going to blow up the wormhole!" Winston yelled, "Your Majesty, please board the ship quickly! Hurry up—"

"Notify the Holy See Army!" Raphael said.

"No!" Elsa resolutely stopped.

"But the wormhole will collapse..."

"Let the Holy See Army drag the Duke and his son!" Elsa ran to the warship quickly, giving orders, decisively, "Close the gate of the star ring magnetic field. Let's go first! If the father and son can be eliminated in one fell swoop, with one star Huan and a group of Holy See soldiers were buried together, and it would not be considered an insult to the status of the royal family of the two of them."

Raphael sat down on the sofa with weak knees: "If the Holy See knows..."

"We didn't blow up the wormhole!" Elsa said coldly, "Brother, where did you pinch your father's neck so hard?"

Rafael was trembling all over, his face was gray, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The Duke drove the shuttle, passed through the camp of the Holy See army unimpeded, and shot towards the wormhole generator building behind the Betsy Palace like a sharp arrow.

When they got closer, the shuttle ship fired all its guns and bombed towards the device building.The royal army on the ground was caught off guard and turned over on their backs.

The Duke suddenly raised the shuttle ship, dodged a surface-to-air projectile, and dropped an annihilation bomb at the same time.

The missile was accurately launched into the installation building, and it was inserted on the floor in front of the main unit of the installation, and the red light on the warhead flashed.

The soldiers inside the building were terrified and rushed out frantically.

"Leon." The Duke finally got in touch with Leon.

"Father." Leon's voice was very steady.

"2 minutes." The Duke said briefly, "Withdraw!"

Following the Duke's order, Asura made another 360-degree turn in the air, swaying his tail like a fish, throwing off the pursuers, and reunited with the Duke's shuttle ship.

The ammunition of the shuttle ship has been completely emptied, and it has been exposed again.Asura cut off for him, and rushed towards the gate of the star ring's magnetic force field together.

The Holy See army surrounded them like a dense school of sardines. Hundreds of warships crowded into the narrow space in the star ring, forming a steel wall that surrounded the duke and his son.

Leon and the Duke of Oran looked at each other at the same time.

Across the mecha cockpit and space, the father and son can't actually see each other's faces, but the consonance makes them feel each other's heart.

"War—" the father and son said in unison.

In the past more than ten years, the father personally trained his son, hired famous teachers for him, and sent him to the battlefield to accept the most rigorous and harsh tests, but the father and son never really fought side by side.

This is even the first time that Leon is driving a mecha, flying in the sky with his father.

Training memories flow in their blood, they are like a pair of old partners, they cooperate seamlessly, and they are familiar with each other's combat habits and skills.

In the rapidly beating numbers of the countdown, the father and son avoided the artillery fire and covered each other.They passed through heavy warships and bullets, and approached the wormhole inch by inch.

One minute and fifty-five seconds!

One minute and five seconds...

The door is closing fast.The warships that had no time to evade at the gate, whether they were the Revolutionary Army or the Holy See Army, were all cut off by the magnetic gate lazily!

The royal warship has also set sail, brushing past the edge of the battlefield, and passing through the gate of the magnetic field.

52 seconds--

Leon adjusted Asura's energy consumption to the highest level, opened the shield, and abruptly blocked a shell for the Duke.

30 seconds!

Just when the father and son were less than 4000 meters away from the gate, an unexpected change happened suddenly——

The shuttle ship driven by the Duke of Oran suddenly changed direction, turned around and flew towards the ground again.

"Father?" Leon immediately realized something was wrong and turned back.

The Duke's voice was very calm: "The shuttle is remotely controlled...it's Raphael!"

The shuttle ship headed towards the ground against the fleeing Holy See fleet.Leon drove Asura and chased him frantically.

He tried to blow up the booster of the shuttle ship, but there were densely packed warships and fighter planes between them, the route of the Duke shuttle ship was distorted, and Ashura couldn't aim at it.

20 second……

"Father, eject the escape pod!"

"It's locked." The Duke said coldly, "Obviously, he wants me dead."

15 second……

In Asura's cockpit, Leon's eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious.

The excitement of fighting side by side disappeared instantly, and an indescribable panic pierced his chest like a sharp sword.

ten seconds...

There was no one in the installation building, and the red light on the missile head began to flash rapidly.

"Don't chase me any more!" The Duke finally shouted in a deep voice, "The wormhole is about to explode, you retreat first!"

At that moment, Leon was frozen in the cockpit.

"Father?"

"Don't be caught by them!" The Duke's voice was indifferent, as he used to talk to his son in the same way, as if any extra emotion was wasted.

"Do what you should do." The Duke said, paused for a moment, and finally increased his tone, "Make me proud."

Leon felt that for a while, he was almost numb.

But the body seemed to have its own consciousness. Asura turned 180 degrees in the air suddenly, returned according to the original path, and shot towards the star ring gate.

In sight, the shuttle ship driven by the Duke disappeared behind the dense warship group.

A ball of dazzling white light exploded from the wormhole device building, and the ground collapsed into a black hole, which expanded rapidly.

The impact of the explosion was not large, just like a wave of faint water ripples.

But as the wormhole collapses, the resulting suction is fatal to everything nearby.The collapsed wormhole will form a temporary small black hole, absorbing it crazily, crushing all objects to pieces.

Not a single battleship was busy fighting anymore.They all turned around and scrambled to escape.If you escape a little slower, you will be sucked in by the strong suction of the wormhole, and you will die without a place to die.

No matter how solid and huge a warship is, it can't resist this destructive force.

The steel bars were twisted and shattered, and the core engine exploded into powder. A battleship that could carry more than 200 people was instantly reduced to dust, and no one survived.

This is the power of God!

He creates, He rules, He adjudicates, He punishes.

Lord of his universe, he makes all the rules.

The Revolutionary Army fleet retreated outside the gate of the magnetic force field and watched the star ring begin to collapse and shatter.It was as if there was a giant hand that crushed Xinghuan into a bunch of scrap iron one by one!

In just a few minutes, a huge star ring with a ground area as large as a city shrank into a steel waste ball with a diameter of less than one kilometer.

During this process, the magnetic force field naturally could no longer support it and completely disappeared.The fleet of the Holy See Army that escaped the black hole by chance flew out in embarrassment, like a group of bereaved dogs.

And the battle isn't over yet.

What greeted these Holy See troops was another Shura hell!

When the warship of the Holy See Army that Ian was on board rushed out of the regular wormhole gate and headed straight for the Starspace of the Imperial Capital, what he saw were large pieces of starship wreckage floating in space.

Most of the wreckage belongs to the Holy See fleet.

They were horribly damaged, as if they had been torn to shreds by a mad force.

The battle should have just ended.There are also many soldiers of the Holy See Army floating in the air in the escape pod, waving desperately at Ian's warship.

"I've contacted Asura." Guang Ji's voice was not quite right, "The situation is very bad, Ian. Leon is very likely to fall into a state of madness..."

"What?" Ian's voice trembled violently, not just because he had just recovered from a serious injury.

"He's received intense...attention—" Mitsuki yelled.

In front of the field of vision, Asura suddenly appeared, like a scarred beast, slashing at the battleship with a saber——
