Chapter 161 Retreat!
Hearing the Night Apostle's merciless retort, the Stellar Apostle did not continue to press it. After all, it needed the Night Apostle to hold back Li Tianran and the Kunlun Battleship. If it really pushed the Night Apostle too far and it quit, then the ones who would ultimately suffer would be the Stellar Apostle and the Oceanic Apostle.

Their need for the metal in this mine was the greatest!

"One minute! Not a second less!" The Stellar Apostle said in an unfriendly tone before hanging up the communication.

...

Mining Area.

A large number of Followers had already forced the Pioneers to the vicinity of the mine. Although the Pioneers were exceptionally brave and good at fighting, they were still inevitably at a disadvantage in the face of the enormous difference in numbers.

The Mecha Warriors were also caught in a bitter fight under the siege of the Followers, making it impossible for them to come to their aid.

Under these circumstances, it seemed that this mine was really going to fall into the hands of the Apostles.

"Huff...huff... Commander, are we going to lose?" A Pioneer stood next to Lu Chi, panting and asking.

Under the high-intensity battle, even a body that had undergone secondary evolution was finding it difficult to hold on. Every Pioneer's physical strength was close to its limit.

Lu Chi glanced at the Followers' corpses scattered all over the mining area, a brilliant smile on his face: "How can you say we're losing? We killed hundreds of Followers, and we only have less than fifty casualties. This is... a great victory!"

The Followers' faces were exceptionally gloomy. Just as Lu Chi had said, in this battle, the Pioneers had killed several times as many enemies as they had lost. And now, although the Followers had forced them to the vicinity of the mine, this did not mean that the Followers could really defeat them!

To kill this group of guys who looked like they had already exhausted their strength and rush into the mine, who knew how much time it would take and how many more of their kind would have to die!

At this moment, the Miracle Building in the rear once again sent an order to attack. It was the Stellar and Oceanic Apostles urging the Followers to seize the mine as soon as possible. The Followers roared, bursting out the remaining strength in their bodies, and launched a final attack on the mine.

After a battle, the Pioneers' physical strength was close to its limit, and the Followers were equally uncomfortable. They could not use weapons, and they did not have any advantage when facing the Pioneers, who had a natural advantage in equipment. They could only use their bodies to withstand the Pioneers' knives and swords. If the difference in numbers was not too great, they would probably have been killed long ago.

The urging of the two Apostles in the rear also made the Followers feel a burst of powerlessness.

They looked at the mine in front of them, and a strong sense of despair welled up in their hearts.

Perhaps only when all the Followers were dead could they break into this cave?

"Damn it! Damn it! The Night Apostle has moved the time forward by another minute..." The Stellar Apostle's emotions became agitated, and its gaze fell on the battlefield. "The Followers can't take it down, and if this drags on, Li Tianran will be here soon!"

On one side, the Night Apostle demanded to shorten the time, and on the other side, the Followers could not conquer it for a long time.

Under the dual pressure, the Stellar Apostle finally could not hold back.

"Wait three more minutes. If they still can't take it down, we'll take action ourselves!" The Stellar Apostle sent a signal to the Oceanic Apostle.

This time, the Oceanic Apostle did not refuse.

If the Followers really couldn't break through the defenses of the mining area within the agreed time, then the only choice left was for the two of them to take action personally, unless they wanted to give up this precious metal.

The reason for choosing three minutes was because they still needed to mine and transport the ore after they occupied it!

Although the technology of the ancient civilization was highly developed and all kinds of equipment were extremely complete, it was definitely not something that could be done in the blink of an eye to move an entire mountain.

It would take at least five minutes or more!

And as time went on, the time for the arrival of the Kunlun Battleship was approaching.

On the battlefield, the ground was covered in blood, gathering in some low-lying areas to form a blood pit, which could be described as a river of blood.

A large number of Followers' bodies fell on the battlefield.

The Pioneers were all covered in broken battle suits and scorched faces, looking like a group of tattered soldiers dug out of a corpse pit, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.

But when the Followers looked at them, a wave of despair welled up in their hearts.

It was this group of tattered soldiers who seemed to be able to be blown down by the wind, but they were able to defeat their attacks again and again. They looked like they had already exhausted their physical strength to the limit, but whenever the roar of the charge sounded, they would once again have the strength to swing their blades...

Was the human race really so tenacious?

At this moment, such a question emerged in the minds of all the Followers.

...

"Time's up! I have returned to the sea!" Inside the bronze palace, the Night Apostle's voice sounded again.

In Carney City, amidst a pile of ruins, a steel giant city that looked no different from the ruins slowly sank into the sea, its whole body emitting billowing black smoke. Above the firmament, after confirming that the giant city had left, the Kunlun Battleship circled for a moment and then sped towards the mining area.

After hearing the news from the Night Apostle, the Stellar Apostle suddenly stood up and crushed the communicator in its hand. It strode towards the outside of the Miracle Building and said sternly: "No more waiting, let's do it!"

The Stellar Apostle's emotions had reached the limit of control. The desire for new metal minerals and the dissatisfaction with the Night Apostle and the Followers were mixed together, allowing it to completely overcome the unease in its heart.

Moreover, it felt that it already knew enough about the battle situation.

The Pioneers had been forced into a desperate situation, and the Kunlun Battleship was thousands of kilometers away. Here, what else could pose a threat to it?

The Stellar Apostle strode into the Miracle Building, and the Oceanic Apostle also appeared. Their eyes were on the distant battlefield.

With a roar.

The Oceanic Apostle's huge body quickly launched a charge towards the battlefield, and the Stellar Apostle opened its arms, and the firelight filled the sky, like a sea of stars, surrounding it. The night was instantly illuminated like daytime!

The Followers, whose morale had already dropped to the extreme, became fanatical again, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, after seeing the two Apostles appear in person.

They cheered, roared, and welcomed the arrival of their king.

For the Pioneers, the appearance of the Oceanic and Stellar Apostles was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

No matter how strong they were, they were definitely no match for the Apostles now!

"I fuck your mother..." Lu Chi rarely cursed, looking at the two Apostles coming towards him, he sternly ordered his team members: "Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
