Protagonist:

Lin En

Lena

They wore red tight-fitting combat suits, with camouflage paint on their faces.

They held modified sniper rifles and scrap machetes in their hands.

Their movements were agile and swift.

The newcomers were the surviving Blood Axe Clan agents who had previously assisted the Destruction Ball Squad in breaking through the Machine Cult defensive line.

After the Machine Cult defensive line was breached, they did not charge forward with the main force.

Instead, they had been hiding in the ventilation pipes and maintenance passages all along.

Like poisonous snakes, they patiently waited for the best moment.

Most importantly, they sensed that their Big Boss Lianggenna had not yet died.

That familiar rampaging breath, though extremely faint, still existed.

And they also saw.

The human reinforcements on the bridge were almost completely exhausted.

Dominic was also severely injured and had lost his combat power.

Now was the best time to kill Dominic and completely end this war.

"Hahaha! Shrimp Clan! Your time of death has arrived!"

A squad leader of the Blood Axe agents let out a smug laugh.

"Victory will ultimately belong to us!"

"Kill them, chop off all their heads!"

The Blood Axe agents let out fanatical shouts.

Like hungry wolves, they charged toward the bodyguards hiding behind cover.

They were the troop most skilled in assassination among the various Green Skin clans.

Their fighting techniques were extremely tricky and cruel.

Specializing in attacking the enemy's vital points.

Several exhausted bodyguards could only barely raise the bomb guns in their hands to return fire.

But their shooting could not pose any threat to the agile Blood Axe agents at all.

Instead, they were easily flanked from behind by the Blood Axe agents, who slit their throats with one blade.

The officers on the bridge, although they had some combat experience.

But most of them were not equipped with decent weapons and armor.

Only some pistols worn on their person.

They could not form effective combat power at all.

They could only hide behind cover and barely hold on.

The Blood Axe agents had already decided that this victory ultimately belonged to them.

Smiles of certain victory appeared on their faces.

"Fight them to the death!"

A surviving bodyguard roared.

He raised the power axe in his hand and slashed at a charging Blood Axe agent.

"Clang!"

The Blood Axe agent easily blocked his attack with a power knife.

Then he fiercely kicked that bodyguard in the stomach.

The bodyguard staggered backward several steps.

Before he could steady himself.

Another Blood Axe agent had already gotten behind him.

The sharp power knife viciously stabbed into the back of his heart.

The bodyguard let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground.

Blood dyed the floor beneath his feet red.

Seeing that the Blood Axe agents were about to rush in front of Dominic.

Sorin moved.

She hoisted Dominic onto her shoulder in one motion.

Although Dominic was tall, for Inquisitor Sorin, who had undergone genetic enhancement and equipment augmentation, he was not too heavy.

"Hold on tight."

Sorin's voice remained calm.

She pushed off with her feet and leaped backward fiercely.

Dodging the shooting of several Blood Axe agents.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bullets struck the spot where she had just stood, sending up splinters of metal.

Sorin brought Dominic, moving quickly around the Bridge.

She had been lying in wait aboard the James Tong for quite some time.

During this time, she had already explored every corner of the areas Dominic frequently moved through.

Including every passage, every cover, and every blind spot of the Bridge.

She constantly used the control consoles and pillars as cover, dodging the sniping of Blood Axe Agents.

At the same time, a strangely shaped Energy Pistol had somehow appeared in her hand.

That pistol did not appear to belong to the technology of the Human Empire.

The gun body presented a strange green color, with complex patterns carved on it.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Sorin moved quickly while shooting backward with one hand.

The green energy bolts precisely shot toward the Blood Axe Agents.

"Ah!!!"

One Blood Axe Agent was hit in the shoulder by an energy bolt.

His shoulder was instantly corroded into a huge hole.

Green blood sprayed out.

He let out a shrill shriek and fell to the ground.

"Damn shrimp!"

The squad captain of the Blood Axe Agents cursed angrily.

He had not expected that this suddenly appearing silver-haired woman would be so difficult to deal with.

"Everyone aim at her, kill her!"

All the Blood Axe Agents pointed their gun mouths at Sorin.

Dense bullets, like a great net, covered toward Sorin.

But Sorin's speed was truly too fast.

She was like an agile lioness, shuttling through a hail of bullets.

The bullets always missed by just a little bit, unable to hit her.

Instead, every shot she fired would take the life of one Blood Axe Agent.

In just two minutes, seven or eight Blood Axe Agents had fallen under her gun.

Dominic lay on Sorin's shoulder, watching everything before his eyes.

He could clearly feel the tension of Sorin's muscles every time she leaped.

He could hear her steady and powerful breathing.

This Inquisitor, a stranger to him, could clearly have escaped on her own.

Clearly could have not cared about his life or death.

But she did not.

She risked her life to save him.

And was still fighting dozens of cruel Blood Axe Agents to protect him.

A warm current slowly flowed through Dominic's heart.

Yes.

Even a stranger Inquisitor had not abandoned him.

Was still fighting for this war.

What qualification did he have to wallow in self-pity here?

What qualification did he have to abandon the soldiers who died for him?

Abandon the fleet still waiting for his command?

Dominic's gaze gradually became determined.

His only remaining right fist clenched tightly.

"Inquisitor Sorin, put me down."

Dominic's voice, although still somewhat weak, was full of strength.

"I can still fight."

Sorin turned her head and glanced at him.

In her red pupils flashed a barely noticeable trace of approval.

But she did not put Dominic down.

"Your injuries are too severe."

Sorin said lightly while dodging bullets.

"Now, you only need to live well."

"Leave the rest to me."

Her tone left no room for negotiation.

But Dominic could hear that a trace of warmth had been added to her cold voice.

Sorin brought Dominic and rushed into a corner of the Bridge.

There was a heavy Bulletproof Door here.

She kicked open the Bulletproof Door and brought Dominic inside to hide.

Afterwards she closed the Bulletproof Door with her backhand.

Bullets "pattered" against the bulletproof door, letting out a series of dull thuds.

But the bulletproof door didn't budge an inch.

Safe for now.

Sorin leaned against the wall, catching her breath slightly.

The high-intensity battle just now had also consumed quite a bit of her stamina.

Dominic climbed down from her shoulder, leaning against the wall.

He looked at Sorin and said seriously, "Thank you, Inquisitor Sorin."

"No need to thank me."

Sorin wiped away a trace of blood on her mouth cheek.

Just now while dodging bullets, she was grazed on the mouth corner by a flying metal fragment.

"I didn't do it for you."

"I did it for the Empire."

"For those soldiers still fighting."

She paused, then continued, "Besides, I'm not fighting alone either."

"Hm?"

Dominic looked at her in confusion.

Not understanding what she meant by those words.

Sorin didn't explain.

She merely raised her head, looking toward the bulletproof door's direction.

In her red pupils, a trace of complex emotion flashed.

There was hatred.

There was also helplessness.

And a trace of..... anticipation.

The reason she hadn't given up yet.

Was not merely because of her duties.

But more because, she had already sensed that guy's existence.

Getting close, very close......
