Chapter 1056: Action Within the Safo Palace

The truth has been revealed! All disguises have lost their meaning!

"Attack! For the glory of Safo! For the ancestors! Take them down!"

"For Linding!"

As Ailamande gave the order, the Cold Blade General drew the ice crystal longsword at his waist, shoved aside the still-dazed Count Kainuo, and charged toward the Dark Angels' formation!

"Guards! Slay the intruders!"

Grand Duke Moge slammed his frost staff heavily against the ground, and an invisible psionic ripple spread out, strengthening the power of the surrounding guards.

From the hidden compartments around the great hall, a large number of Safo royal guards wearing ice crystal armor and wielding energy spears or crystal crossbows that radiated cold air surged toward the Xiuluo Holy Mission surrounded in the center!

"Protect the Diplomat! Fire at will! Send the distress signal!"

Sergeant Safo's voice was transmitted into the ears of every Dark Angel through their helmet comms.

Almost at the same moment Sergeant Safo gave the order, the roar of Bolters echoed through the great hall!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The first few Safo guards to bear the brunt had their ice crystal armor instantly torn apart and shattered before the Bolter rounds!

The scorching metal jets and explosive shockwaves blew their tall bodies to pieces, and blue blood and ice crystal fragments splattered everywhere!

The three-man Dark Angel fire team fired in alternating bursts, leaving no gaps, sweeping the guards charging from the front off their feet in droves.

The flashes and sounds of the Bolter explosions echoed incessantly in the ice crystal hall, deafening to the ears.

However, the number of Safo guards was immense, and they charged on, trampling over the remains of their companions without regard for casualties.

Some guards threw the ice crystal spears in their hands at the Dark Angels!

"Clang! Clang!"

With a few crisp sounds, the ice crystal spears struck the Power Armor; most were deflected by the sturdy Ceramite Armor, leaving only white scratches and spreading frost, but the massive impact still caused the struck Dark Angels to sway.

"Watch out for their freezing effect! Suspected coverage of psionic-like energy; Power Armor joint mobility decreased by three percent!"

At the same time, the Cold Blade General's figure turned into a cold wind, rushing before Sergeant Safo!

The ice crystal longsword in his hand slashed straight down; before the blade arrived, the extreme cold Sword Qi caused a layer of white frost to condense on Sergeant Safo's helmet visor!

Sergeant Safo did not dodge or evade, swinging his Chainsword upward to meet the blade!

"Clang!!"

The ice crystal longsword and the Chainsword collided, erupting in a ring of energy ripples and ice shards!

The Cold Blade General only felt a massive force transmitted from the sword, his web between thumb and forefinger shaking violently, the ice crystal longsword nearly slipping from his grasp!

The Cold Blade General staggered back two steps.

The strength of these "tin cans" far exceeded his estimates!

Sergeant Safo's figure swayed slightly, his right-hand Bolter Pistol raised, aiming at the Cold Blade General's head!

But just as he pulled the trigger, a Safo guard from the side lunged forward, using his body to block the muzzle!

"Boom!"

The Bolter round completely shattered the guard's upper body, and blue blood and organ fragments sprayed all over the Cold Blade General.

The Cold Blade General took the opportunity to roll and hide behind a massive ice pillar.

"Ranged support! Suppress those crossbowmen!"

Sergeant Safo changed his orders, while simultaneously using his Bolter to pick off enemies approaching Li Fengmin from the side.

The two Dark Angels responsible for the flanks immediately shifted their fire toward the galleries and corners above the great hall where Safo archers were aiming with crystal crossbows.

The Bolters blew the ice-carved railings and decorations to smithereens, and the archers hiding behind them screamed as they fell or were torn apart by explosive shrapnel.

Li Fengmin was firmly protected in the middle by two Dark Angels, observing the battlefield.

Ailamande stood before the throne, his hands held in a void grip, the light of the dark purple Crystal Core between his brows growing increasingly intense, and a powerful psionic energy was gathering around him.

Count Kainuo picked up an ice crystal spear from a fallen guard and joined the fray, howling as he charged toward another Dark Angel.

Grand Duke Moge, under the protection of several elite guards, continuously waved his frost staff, and pale blue Psionic Shields appeared before key guards, attempting to block the Bolter fire, but they often shattered with a bang after blocking only one or two rounds.

The battle was exceptionally fierce, but the situation was gradually tilting toward the Xiuluo Holy Mission.

The individual combat power of the Dark Angels far exceeded these Safo guards, and their Bolters and Power Armor formed an absolute advantage in firepower and defense.

Dozens of Safo guard corpses already lay on the ground, while the five Dark Angels, apart from some extra frost and scratches on their Power Armor, had not lost a single combatant.

Ailamande watched his guards fall in droves, his heart bleeding.

"Awaken the 'Frost Warriors'! Activate the 'Absolute Chill' field!"

Ailamande used his psionic power to issue an order to a certain existence hidden in the shadows!

Immediately following, Ailamande spread his arms, and the dark purple light of the Crystal Core bloomed!

"In the name of Yongshuang, freeze!"

A cold wave carrying a dark purple halo spread rapidly in all directions with Ailamande at the center!

Wherever it passed, the air was frozen, and the ground was covered in a layer of ice shimmering with ominous purple light!

The target of the cold wave was aimed directly at the five Dark Angels and Li Fengmin surrounded in the center!

"High-intensity psionic freezing attack detected! Energy level rising sharply!"

"Concentrate! Protect the target!"

Sergeant Safo roared.

The five Dark Angels closed in, tightly guarding Li Fengmin in the center.

Almost at the same time, the cold wave carrying the dark purple light slammed into the position where they stood!

"Hum!!"

The cold wave with the dark purple halo slammed against the defensive circle formed by the Dark Angels!

Even though Li Fengmin was firmly protected in the middle, he felt as if he had been thrown into the absolute ice prison of a star after its core had extinguished!

White frost began to form on his environmental protective suit, and his vision became blurred.

If not for the protection of these Space Marines, he would have turned into an ice sculpture upon contact with this cold wave.

The surface of the dark green Power Armor of the perimeter Dark Angels Space Marines was covered with a layer of solid ice mixed with an eerie purple at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Warning! External temperature dropping rapidly! Approaching the tolerance limit of the Power Armor!"

"Ice layer thickening at the joints! Left elbow joint movement restricted!"

"Servo System feedback sluggish! Power output dropped by fifteen percent!"

The Dark Angels Space Marines could feel the Servo Motors at the joints of their Power Armor emitting a dull grinding sound.

The five of them endured the continuous scouring of the freezing cold spiritual energy, shielding Li Fengmin tightly behind them without retreating a single step!

After the cold wave passed, an area covered in purple ice crystals appeared in the center of the great hall, and the five Dark Angels were covered in purple ice crystals.

"Good opportunity! They can't move anymore!"

Seeing this, Count Kainuo raised his Ice Crystal Spear and was about to charge forward.

"Don't be hasty! Kainuo!"

General Cold Blade held back the impulsive Count.

"Their armor is too thick, ordinary attacks are hard to be fatal! Wait for the 'Frost Warriors'!"
