With Commander Tom's order, the Western Alliance space station, orbiting in sync with Blue Star at high altitude, suddenly shuddered, and missiles detached from it.
One, two... a total of five missiles.
They descended vertically towards the ground of Blue Star, slowly at first. After a distance from the space station, the missiles' tails erupted with blue flames, and combined with Blue Star's gravity, their speed increased exponentially.
Target: Abyssal Mountain Range, Northern Dali Country, landmark 10.87, 46.28.
"B11 Demon Slaying Missiles have entered the predetermined orbit..."
"C8 Demon Slaying Missiles..."
...
The Demon Slaying Missiles were equipped with high-definition, high-speed cameras. Commander Tom's military camp and the leaders of the Western Alliance meeting could clearly see the process of the Demon Slaying Missiles in flight.
The map rapidly zoomed in, and their tension grew.
Soon, a patch of green appeared amidst the snow-white mountain range. This was a forest created by the elf girl using magic.
At the edge of the forest, the elf girl, having finished off the Western rear-guard forces, was helping the forest continue to encroach upon the barren snow. Suddenly, she sensed a hint of danger and looked up at the sky, her exquisite face tilted upwards.
She frowned, flapped her wings, and flew at extreme speed to the center of the forest, above the abyssal black hole.
High above, five missiles, trailing fire, tore through the sky, their speed already exceeding Mach 50.
"Are these... magic artifacts of the half-demons?"
The elf girl gazed at the 'Demon Slaying Missiles,' her expression bewildered yet grave.
The half-demon race were anomalies in the world of Titas. They themselves could not absorb magic arts nor cast spells. Consequently, they had always been looked down upon by monsters and elves.
However, there was one point that monsters and elves had to admit: the immense power of the magic artifacts created by the half-demons was not much inferior to magic...
This was also why the half-demons could become one of the three major races in the world of Titas!
The elf girl grew more cautious. As the five missiles from high above became visible to the naked eye, she gently waved her jade-like hand, scattering starlight. She began to chant in a low voice with obscure words.
"Flower of Annihilation, Devour!"
The elf girl chanted rapidly, and the earth began to tremble slightly.
Boom boom boom—
Suddenly, the lush green forest cracked open, and a black-purple plant grew at an incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, this peculiar plant unfurled five black buds. They were terrifying in appearance, resembling the legendary Venus flytrap, but much larger, estimated to be able to swallow a small building.
These five black buds extended towards the descending Demon Slaying Missiles. As the petals opened, they revealed sharp fangs.
"Quick, evade those black flowers!"
At the command post dozens of miles away, Commander Tom sensed something was wrong and shouted urgently.
"It's too late!" However, the technical staff were powerless to reverse the situation.
In less than a second, the black flowers met the missiles. The five Demon Slaying Missiles, with no time for evasion, were swallowed by the five black flowers with their gaping maws.
Time seemed to stand still, and everyone stared blankly.
However, the Western Alliance officers and many responsive leaders felt their hearts grow cold.
The Demon Slaying Missiles, with their terrifying speed, had failed to penetrate these strange black flowers.
Was it over?
White Lantern, Boss, and other imperial leaders, the core of the Western meeting, felt a touch of despair.
Rumble~
Suddenly, two of the five black flowers began to vibrate, the tremors growing larger and the frequency increasing rapidly.
Then, these two black flowers withered and died quickly!
The bud areas started to crack, and brilliant, dazzling flower light emanated from the fissures.
"This... this is our ten-megaton Demon Slaying Missile!"
In the Western conference room, a military scientist exclaimed, a smile appearing on his solemn face.
"She's about to be unable to hold on!"
The turn of events, which brought a glimmer of hope to the despairing leaders of the Western meeting, made their gazes expectant once more.
The elf girl looked up at the two black buds that were clearly struggling to hold on. Her exquisite face showed no worry, only a greater degree of surprise.
"Magic artifacts of this caliber... could they truly be related to the half-demons?"
The elf girl murmured a few times, then raised her slender jade hands again and chanted.
"Clover of Luck, Protect!"
The three unharmed flowers of the black-purple plant retracted, while the two that were collapsing rose rapidly into the sky.
Simultaneously, the forest on the ground suddenly sprouted numerous lush green three-leaf, four-leaf, and five-leaf clovers.
They emitted a warm, soft glow that enveloped the entire forest.
Boom!
Boom boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, the two black flowers in the sky reached their limit. A deafening explosion sounded, and two terrifying mushroom clouds rapidly expanded, releasing world-destroying energy that swept over everything in its path.
The Western Command and the Western meeting lost contact with the battlefield for a moment.
Could they win?
"Whatever it takes, reconnect the real-time battlefield situation immediately!"
Many Western leaders and officers waited with trepidation and anticipation. However, if they had known the situation in Great Xia, they would not have been so tormented.
Currently, Blue Star technology stood no chance against magic...
After the mushroom cloud explosion storm raged for several minutes, all the flower light and shockwaves slowly dissipated.
The protective glow from the lucky flowers in the snow mountains vanished. Many trees in the forest were broken, the grassland was bare, and fires billowed thick smoke in various places...
"That girl, she seems to be gone?"
"Dead... dead?"
Western reconnaissance planes arrived quickly. After a rapid encircling flight, they found no trace of the elf girl. Joy surged into the hearts of the Western leaders.
However, their smiles ceased less than three seconds later.
From within the forest, a white and pink figure burst forth, her face contorted with anger.
Rushing into the sky, a plant-based bow and arrow suddenly materialized in her hand. With a pull of her slender hand, a white arrow condensed into form.
"Swish!"
The white arrow shot out like a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
The soldiers on the fighter jets were terrified, thinking the elf girl would shoot them down. Fortunately, she did not.
The white arrow flew a hundred miles, striking a farm, causing a massive explosion!
After firing the arrow, the elf girl cast a cold glance around before flying back into the forest.
"What... what does she mean by this?" Everyone in the Western meeting was silent and perplexed.
Suddenly, many stars lit up above the forest, forming a sentence.
"Within the arrow's range, Elven Forbidden Zone. Trespassers will be killed!"
The faces of the Western Alliance leaders turned ashen, their expressions extremely displeased. This sentence was written in the common language of the Western Alliance, Eagle language. This elf girl, through some means, had mastered the common language of the Western Alliance world in a very short time.
"That white arrow appeared in Dingta Town, 138 kilometers away. With this, our Dali Country has lost its entire northern region!" The leader of Dali Country could not remain calm.
"We... have lost!" The leaders of the Western Alliance trembled and lamented.
"This is just the beginning of their invasion..."
"Do we... truly have no hope?"
The Western Alliance meeting fell into silence, and then deeper silence. The increasingly desperate leaders of the smaller nations suddenly remembered Bai Ye.
"Why don't we seek help from the East? Isn't there someone in the East who wants to talk with us?"
This statement immediately caused an uproar in the dead silent Western meeting.
"Talk? It sounds nice, but isn't that just asking us to submit to him?"
"Besides, how do you know she isn't working with him? Are any of them normal people?"
