Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

In an instant, sand flew everywhere from the epicenter, whipped up by the shockwave.

Within a few hundred meters, a light drizzle of sand suddenly began to fall.

Many Cloud Riders felt that they suddenly couldn't hear anything, and the world in front of them seemed to be spinning.

Before they could figure out what had happened, everything went black, and they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Even those who are far from the center of a fire are like this.

After that blast, the epicenter was now a huge crater belching black smoke, with waves of heat surging through it.

At the bottom, tens of meters deep, the glass shimmered with light.

This shot melted the sand on the ground, turning it into countless beautiful colored glasses.

There were originally dozens of Yunqi soldiers standing there.

Now, there's nothing left but black smoke and glass.

Lin Yuan had already reacted and gave orders to the Cloud Cavalry:

"Scatter! Everyone scatter! Keep your distance, or you'll all be caught!"

"Use anti-aircraft weapons! We need to intercept those two beast ships."

Although the Cloud Cavalry had been ambushed, they were a well-trained team. They quickly distanced themselves from their comrades, and some even tried to drag away their seriously injured companions.

The next moment, several small energy beams struck, exploding beneath everyone's feet.

Although it wasn't as powerful as the main cannon from before, some people were still injured.

However, after taking precautions and evacuating, these energy beams did not cause such massive casualties as before.

"A beast ship? There's a beast ship here?!"

Many Cloud Cavalry soldiers found it incredible.

They had clearly seen that these two beast ships possessed the abilities to feed, attack, and reproduce, and from a distance they looked like two giant beasts.

They all belong to the space fleet model, and theoretically, they cannot operate in the planet's atmosphere.

Many of the space fleet's warships were not designed to operate within the atmosphere from the outset.

The battles all take place in space.

This is why the Yaoqing Fleet chose to hover above the planet Erassis after defeating the Buliren fleet in the Erassis system, instead of landing.

During fleet maintenance and leave periods, the ports where they dock are all located above the planet's orbit.

Only a very small number of special warships will enter a planet's atmosphere to fight.

If they were to enter rashly, the planet's gravity would act like a giant hand, directly breaking these warships, some weighing hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of tons, in two.

The plane crashed.

Many Cloud Riders still find it unbelievable: "Isn't this a space-age model? Why is it here!"

"But those two warships have appeared!"

A roar came from a starship: "Why worry about all that! Just do it! Fighters, charge with me!"

"All fighters, provide cover for the ground forces!"

One after another, the starships shot out like streaks of light, attracting the firepower of the beast ships like a swarm of bees.

A squad leader from the Qingqiu army ran up and said, "Commander Lin Yuan, we don't have many anti-air weapons on us!"

Lin Yuan watched as the two main cannons of the Beastman Ship were charging, while dozens of Starships were already attacking from the surrounding area.

The star raft, less than ten meters long, was like a mosquito biting an elephant in front of these two beast ships, each over 150 meters long.

The fighters unleashed their full firepower at the beast ship, but the attacks only created green ripples on its surface.

The attacks were absorbed by the beast ship's shields.

Moreover, the beast ships also had means of counterattack, and starships were constantly being hit.

Like a fleeting firework, it turned to ashes in less than a few seconds.

He gritted his teeth and said, "The Starship Force is buying time. Use whatever you have! Also, try calling the Qingqiu again."

This time, let alone the warships in front of him, he even came by himself in a starship.

The Yaoqing Fleet does have small warships capable of atmospheric warfare, but he arrived in too much of a hurry.

By the time those small warships are ready, I won't even be able to see Feixiao anymore.

Even if those small warships do arrive now, it will probably take quite some time.

Then, the Qingqiu can hold a funeral for them.

"Yes. I'll get started right away!"

A fox-person from the Qingqiu army, carrying a bow and arrows, waved to his companions and shouted, "Bring out the intelligent imaginary arrows, prepare for anti-airborne attacks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of fox-people took out intelligent arrows from their spatial backpacks.

It was an arrow as thick as an arm, and it looked more like a missile than a traditional arrow.

They placed the arrows on the bows and arrows, chanting incantations as if in prayer: "Firing units are being adjusted, data is being shared online, enemy beast ships have been locked on!"

Two or three seconds later, dozens of arrows trailing flames flew toward the two beast ships!

"Boom—Boom—Boom"

A series of imaginary explosions created waves on the surface of the beast ship's shield.

The shield dimmed instantly.

One of the beast ships was even torn open, revealing its internal armor.

But soon, the beast ship's shields were refreshed.

New shields appeared on the beast ship.

Although it is not as powerful as it was at the beginning, it still exists.

Moreover, the beast ship also locked onto the few Qingqiu fox-people who had just fired the intelligent arrows.

Despite Lin Yuan's desperate attempts to block the beast ship's cannon fire with his sword energy, many people were still injured.

Ground-based air defense measures have been exhausted, and the Starship Force has also suffered heavy losses.

They had just escaped death, but now they were about to die again.

Many Cloud Riders witnessed this scene, watching their comrades die one after another, while they themselves were helpless against the two beast ships.

In an instant, despair spread once again.

"Junior brother, I have another idea." Fei Xiao looked at the two beast ships with a determined gaze, as if he had made a decision.

This time, they will not be able to return victorious.

These days, it's a blessing to be alive.

She would never allow Lin Yuan and these Cloud Cavalry soldiers to die before her eyes.

Because she had made a promise.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, turning to look at Fei Xiao, whose face was pale: "What?"

But he could already sense that something was wrong; Feixiao's condition was very strange!

Feixiao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he grabbed the medicinal candy pills that Jiaoqiu had given him and stuffed them all into his mouth.

In addition, the medicine Lin Yuan had just injected into her temporarily suppressed the aftereffects of Yue Kuang.

She has recovered about 70-80% of her strength in a short period of time.

Feeling the power flowing through her body again, she picked up her sword and looked longingly at Lin Yuan.

“Junior brother, after you went to university at the age of eight, your senior sister has not taught you anything anymore, and you don’t need to anymore.”

But today, your senior sister is going to teach you the final lesson, called "Slaying Ships"!

"Watch closely later, your senior sister can only teach you once."

Upon hearing Fei Xiao's words, which sounded like farewell, Lin Yuan suddenly felt his heart being gripped tightly, making it hard to breathe.

After a brief mental blank, a terrifying thought grew in my mind.

She's going to sacrifice herself.

She's willing to sacrifice herself to destroy the beast ship!

He pretended not to understand, reached out his hand to try and stop him, and walked step by step toward Feixiao, saying in a dry voice:

"Senior sister, what are you saying!"

Fei Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Don't pretend, you've never lied in all these years."

"Listen to your senior sister, stand there and don't move. I'll create an opportunity for you, then you lead the Cloud Cavalry to retreat."

"Senior Sister, are you crazy! Those are two small beast ships!" Lin Yuan shouted angrily. "Think again, besides sacrificing you, we must have other ways!"

"Is there no other way but to sacrifice ourselves?"

"There's no time left. Our casualties are too heavy. We can't afford to delay any longer."

But I promised them I would bring them back to Yaoqing. Only you can fulfill that promise for me.

"No, we all have to go back!"

"Don't be ridiculous! Yaoqing can do without a ground vanguard, but it can't do without a fleet commander! Do you know how much effort your teacher has put into training you?"

She paused, her eyes flashing with determination: "Also, because I'm your senior sister, I should protect you."

No further reasons are needed; this is enough.

Fei Xiao looked at the battlefield strewn with corpses all around him, a trace of guilt appearing in his dim eyes.

"Junior brother, stop looking. Senior sister looks ugly when she uses Moon Madness. It will scare you."

Please take good care of the teacher for me.

Lin Yuan rushed forward like a madman, trying to stop her.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Feixiao go up and die!

Just as Lin Yuan's hand was about to touch Fei Xiao's hem.

Feixiao resolutely turned around and transformed into a streak of azure light, rushing towards the distant beast ship!

The outstretched hand grasped nothing, only a faint sigh could be heard in the wind.

"I also want to walk with you... but my path..."
