Chapter 165: It's Time to Blow Up That Kid Xisi!

Sanctum Star's Iron Guard Fortress

Outside, thousands of warships and over a million Terran bio‑ships clash.

Human drop pods and Terran spore pods interlace like raindrops as they fall to the ground.

Bombs, artillery and chainsaws echo continuously amid the dense interweaving of lasers and acid.

It's merely a different, previously desperate, simple delay.

This time on Sanctum Star, the war's objective has shifted to completely expelling the invading Terran insect swarm from Sanctum Star.

Thus, Light Spears that conduct small‑scale exterminations in the fallen zones have, after a long absence, reappeared over Sanctum Star.

Deep within the Iron Guard Fortress at this moment.

The Golden Imperial Guard stare blankly at the still‑unfamiliar comrades beside them, with two guard units simultaneously providing protection, while the outside finally gains the upper hand in the war.

The overall atmosphere inside the Iron Guard Fortress finally relaxed considerably.

But this relaxation is only among the lower ranks; deep within the Iron Guard, Turazhen and Li'ang Tus, who circle Xisi, silently watch the latest projection that arrived from Terra months ago.

Xisi is utterly speechless, because in the projection, the two Terran tendril reports that Kiriman once gave him have now become three.

The two primary tendrils are being stubbornly held back by Li'ang Tus with the Sunblade fleet of the Peace Star Domain and the Sun Star Domain.

The third tendril, upon finding the other two visible tendrils unable to break through, bypasses Sanctum Star entirely, forcing its way toward Terra despite massive losses.

In the projection at that moment, the 'decapitation' tendril, which is far 'slimmer' than a typical Terran tendril, has its spearhead already wrapped around the absolute core of the Human Empire.

Pluto at the edge of the Solar System!

Xisi stared blankly at the projection, not even feeling the urge to mock Kiriman.

Meanwhile, Turazhen and Li'ang Tus likewise have no desire to mock Kiriman.

Xisi didn't expect the Terran tendrils to be three; these two didn't anticipate the reinforcements Kiriman fetched for them—truly the same group of Baishou people from back then!

And looking at the wailing Ma Lajin that Xisi casually brought over, recalling the news Ma Lajin just delivered, even now Li'ang Tus and Turazhen are curious about what a 'Revelation War Veteran' is.

Although the three terms inside are clear and understood by Turazhen and Li'ang Tus.

But they truly hadn't expected that those three terms could combine in such a way.

At the same time, baffled by how Xisi managed to obtain a colossal force of up to five hundred, having survived several Revelation War Veterans, he constantly worries about his own future.

Seeing that even Xisi hadn't thought that far ahead, Turazhen and Li'ang Tus have already begun pondering how to explain the future, that they have become the 'guide party' of the Great Baishou legion back then!

Not only did they receive this ancient legion, they also publicly addressed its leader as 'Lord'.

Finally, they transmitted the precise Coordinates of the Solar System, urging Xisi repeatedly to quickly lead this Baishou group back to Terra!

The three at the command console each harbored their own thoughts.

It wasn't until Xisi finally struggled to pull his attention back from the projection, and his gaze returned, that Turazhen and Li'ang Tus hurriedly focused all their thoughts on Xisi.

Then they completely buried the words 'Rebel Forces' deep in their hearts.

After all, given the situation, retrieving a group of Baishou is still better than dealing with the Terran.

"I need a route to Terra."

"And depart the battle immediately, heading to Terra."

Xisi let out a long sigh before speaking helplessly, and Li'ang Tus and Turazhen across from him instantly brightened at his words.

Li'ang Tus even rotated the projection directly, displaying the route.

"Although the Insect Tide Will's impact on Subspace communications and Star Torch is enormous, we still fashioned a temporary route using the Star Language Court relay method."

Li'ang Tus spoke while showcasing the route, revealing its rather winding path.

"Although many fleets still occupy portions of the route now, once Lord Sisi gives the order, we will clear the entire route immediately."

"We will open a dedicated line for Lord Sisi's fleet to rush to Terra."

Clearly, Li'ang Tus worries about Terra's defenses more than anyone, so when discussing how to quickly reinforce Terra, he hesitates hardly at all.

Moreover, after Li'ang Tus finished speaking, both Xisi and Turazhen, after thinking it over seriously, felt it truly was the best plan.

Only after Li'ang Tus finished, Xisi widened his gaze from Terra to the massive battlefield spanning two star domains, and furrowed his brow.

Glancing at the route's starting point in the projection, Xisi looked up at the Sanctum Star Iron Guard Fortress where he currently stood.

"If I go to Terra, what about Sanctum Star?"

Xisi spoke, and upon hearing this, Turazhen and Li'ang Tus's faces darkened.

In the end, Li'ang Tus forced out a strained smile, looking at Xisi:

"We..."

"... will hold out until the very last moment."

They didn't say what to do, only stated their choice; Xisi was stunned by their words, then, seeing Li'ang Tus already prepared to sacrifice, decisively shook his head.

"Sanctum Star cannot be abandoned."

Li'ang Tus and Turazhen hadn't expected Xisi to still care about them, and tried to appear as calm as possible so Xisi wouldn't worry.

Xisi pointed at the star map:

"Sanctum Star is holding back two main Terran tendrils; if Sanctum Star falls, I could very likely find the Solar System beset on all sides."

Li'ang Tus and Turazhen were taken aback.

Oh......

So it wasn't about caring for us.

Turazhen pursed his lips, and Li'ang Tus, after realizing, wore an even more helpless expression.

"We certainly know Sanctum Star's importance, but to hold it completely, we must keep all the reinforcements you brought."

"But then how can we rush to aid Terra?"

Li'ang Tus explained, while Xisi looked at the scant Imperial guards and the massive Terran insect swarm.

After a long silence, a faint murmuring, intermittent, echoed in Li'ang Tus's and Turazhen's ears.

"Exploding troops... Xisi... kid..."

Tu Lazhen and the other listened in confusion, but Xisi at that moment raised his hand and aligned the entire star map's view to a group of Green Skin forces already ravaging the area near the Sanctuary Star.

Seeing that Xisi was actually focusing on this group of Green Skin caught between the simultaneous pressure of humans and Terrans, Tu Lazhen and Li Ang Tus grew even more puzzled.

At the same time, for some unknown reason, they kept feeling that the combination of "Xisi" and "kid" sounded just like "Green Skin kid"?

Then, amid their confusion, Xisi confirmed that this place had soil suitable for the Green Skin to breed and develop, and finally looked up toward the sky.

His gaze pierced the massive mountain within Aolake, where a group of tall, slender, ink‑green figures—who had long lacked reinforcements and were carefully tended by Xisi—calmly walked toward the projection used for transmitting images.

Then the core of the Iron Guard Fortress.

Seeing the sudden appearance before them, bearing a somewhat Ancient Beastmen bearing, with physiques as fierce as the Forbidden Army's dozens of Green Skin, Tu Lazhen and Li Ang Tus, who had only just barely come to terms with the Worship of Longevity Legion, were stirred again.

Head thrown back, inhaling, face full of unease.

They glanced at the Green Skin before them, then at the surrounding Black Gold Forbidden Army and the Worship of Longevity Legion.

Li Ang Tus and Tu Lazhen were left with faces saying "I've truly never seen this before," and fell into complete silence.

"The composition of this reinforcement group..."

"So complicated?!"
