Armor Guardians

Chapter 305 Water

"Sis, can I come with you?"

Xia Qianxue knew that it was inappropriate to make this suggestion at this time, but she just wanted to do it. She didn't want to be separated from Xia Qianmeng, not even for a moment.

She always felt that once they separated, she might never see each other again, so she cherished every minute and second she spent with Xia Qianmeng.

"Sweetie, you're not a child anymore. Finish your tasks first, and we'll have plenty of time to spend together later."

Xia Qianmeng reached out and touched Xia Qianxue's head. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Xia Qianxue was taller than her now, which made it a little difficult for her to reach out and touch her head.

However, there were more important things to deal with, so Xia Qianmeng quickly put this thought aside and set off for the Jiulong Mountain refuge that had been attacked by the alien beasts.

Even though she was already mentally prepared to be rejected by Xia Qianmeng, Xia Qianxue still couldn't help but feel disappointed when she actually heard it. Then she followed Nangong Qingyun, Cang Lin, and the other armor summoners to the Nangong family for rescue.

At the Nangong family's base, the situation is even more serious than the intelligence reports. Although the time before the start of the battle is not long, the number of people lost has reached 70%, and these are all martial arts masters from the human side, wearing the latest generation of artificial armor.

Even so, the people on this side were still forced to retreat steadily under the large-scale targeted attacks of the alien beasts.

"Patriarch, why don't we retreat first and retake the territory after reinforcements arrive?" Deep in the back mountains of the Nangong family, some of the Nangong family's high-ranking members who lacked combat ability, as well as women, children, and the elderly, were taking refuge here. This place would not be affected by the battle outside, but if the battle continued, it would eventually be discovered and breached.

Faced with this suggestion, the middle-aged man standing in the center of the group of senior elders seemed to have made a decision. He then took off the large black coat draped over his back, revealing his still unhealed wounds.

"You take your men and evacuate in batches. I'll go and fight those bastards to buy you some more time. As for the position of family head, if I'm gone, you can choose another one later."

Despite the weight of the matter, the man spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if it were some trivial matter. However, everyone present could tell that he was feigning composure, but it was of no real help.

And so, with everyone watching, the man picked up his most handy twin swords and left the place of refuge.

With their patriarch taking the lead, some of the injured who were also hiding here seemed to have come to some realization. They adopted their new tone, followed in their patriarch's footsteps, and decided to face death calmly with their patriarch.

All for the sake of protecting what they want to protect.

Once outside, the leading man no longer concealed his strength. Wielding his twin swords, he shed his previous fatigue and leaped forward like an arrow, flying back towards the main battlefield.

If Nangong Qingyun were here at this moment, he would be able to tell that this person... is his father.
