Chapter 144 Star Envoy Retreats

The followers guarding the conveyor belt outside the Bronze Palace numbered about one hundred, while the Mech Warriors numbered twelve. According to normal combat power comparisons, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched.

But in reality, the Mech Warriors, when in Burnout Mode, had at least twice the combat power of their normal state. In a short period, they could even exchange blows with Apostles. This kind of power was definitely not something ordinary followers could withstand.

If a Mech Warrior in normal mode could fight six or seven followers alone, then in Burnout Mode, it would take at least twenty followers to match its combat power.

However, while Mech Warriors in Burnout Mode were incredibly powerful, the drawbacks were equally obvious. This state of releasing all energy and burning the mech to gain combat power could only last for thirty seconds at most, and the damage was irreversible. Once activated, it would ultimately end with the mech's collapse!

Each time this state was activated, it represented a loss of one billion points for Li Tianran.

But in this resource battle, Li Tianran didn't hesitate to use firepower. This underground cave gave him a very strange sense of crisis, and he wanted to approach the Star Apostle as quickly as possible and drive the Bronze Palace away.

Boom!

Boom!

Two more blazing fireballs erupted in front of the Bronze Palace, and two more Mech Warriors activated Burnout Mode. They were like fearless kamikaze, frantically charging the followers' defense line.

The giant spears waved, and the high temperature rose. A dozen followers were hit by a shell, their figures all engulfed in the sea of ​​fire.

Immediately afterward, a giant spear cut through the fire, hitting the charred bodies of those followers in the sea of fire with incredible precision. As the sound of flesh being cut open rang out, those dozen followers were cut in half on the spot!

"Cutting the conveyor belt!"

A Mech Warrior broke through the followers' defense line, and its huge body landed on the conveyor belt. Its palm aimed at the slowly rotating tracks beneath its feet, and a blue radiance slowly gathered with terrifying energy before erupting!

This conveyor belt connecting the Bronze Palace and the interior of the gate was extremely wide, as much as a hundred meters, like a wide road.

But this strike from the Mech Warrior directly cut across the width, severing the conveyor belt in the middle. The terrifying high-temperature energy of the laser cannon instantly melted the tracks made of some unknown material, and a heavy mechanical jamming sound came from under the conveyor belt.

Crack...

Snap...

Large parts of the conveyor belt's body began to emit thick black smoke, and the whole thing came to a standstill.

...

On the other side, Li Tianran had already maneuvered the Kunlun Behemoth deep into the underground cave. He saw the Star Apostle frantically fighting the Gale Apostle. The confrontation between the two top-level creatures was extremely fierce. Wind and fire merged, forming a terrifying vacuum point where nothing could approach.

Seeing this scene, Li Tianran narrowed his eyes.

If he fired a laser orbital cannon now, there was a sixty percent chance that he could send both the Gale Apostle and the Star Apostle to hell...

But...

Li Tianran thought of Yuan Wen and Tang Su, who were currently living in the same area as the Gale followers on Gale Island, and ultimately couldn't bring himself to press the attack button.

Just like the Gale Apostle once said, loyalty was Li Tianran's strength, but at times, it could also be a flaw.

The Gale Apostle left with him. If he ultimately failed to return to Gale Island, those followers would definitely kill Yuan Wen and Tang Su before launching a frantic attack on Gale Island.

For Li Tianran, if he had to use Yuan Wen and Tang Su to exchange for the lives of the Star Apostle and the Gale Apostle...

There was absolutely no way he would do that!

Although in the eyes of most people, Yuan Wen and Tang Su were not pillars of combat power, nor did they hold important positions in Gale Island's administration. They seemed like insignificant characters, and exchanging them for the deaths of two Apostles seemed very worthwhile.

But Li Tianran was different.

The main reason he established Gale Island and developed the shelter was to protect his family and friends. Tang Su had followed Li Tianran since the beginning of Gale Island's establishment, and Yuan Wen had been close to Li Tianran even before Tang Su.

In Li Tianran's eyes, the importance of these two people did not lie in their combat power or their position, but in themselves!

"Let you live a little longer!" Li Tianran said calmly, looking at the inferno of wind and fire outside the Kunlun Behemoth.

The muzzle of the laser orbital cannon ultimately didn't aim at these two Apostles. The massive Kunlun Behemoth slowly moved toward the Bronze Palace.

In that direction, the battle between the Mech Warriors and the followers was nearing its end.

The massive conveyor belt connecting the Bronze Palace to the interior of the gate had been completely severed, and the followers were rapidly fleeing into the interior of the miracle building to avoid continuing the war with the Mech Warriors.

Boom boom boom!

Dozens of heavy shells suddenly fired from the Kunlun Behemoth.

Because they were kinetic energy shells, the boundary tower barrier outside the Bronze Palace couldn't play any role. They were easily penetrated, and the shells landed on the body of the Bronze Palace, causing violent explosions.

These dozens of shells didn't seriously damage the Bronze Palace, and didn't even leave any marks.

The defense of the miracle building, made of special alloys, was astonishing. Apart from more powerful optical weapons, even nuclear missiles couldn't damage it.

Li Tianran was also very clear about this.

He didn't use the laser orbital cannon or the Valley of Death, partly because of the issue of resource damage, and partly because firing in such a narrow, enclosed space might also affect him.

He bombed the other party with kinetic energy shells just to announce his arrival.

I'm here.

If you don't want to fight me to the death here...

Then now, you should get out of here.
