...
Murmur murmur!
Suddenly, sand splashed on the beach as agile shadows leaped up from beneath the sand, shaking off sand and raising faint dust as they moved.
They were part of an oddly dressed undead army.
Matthew quickly scanned them, confirming that the primary threat of these "Special Soldiers" ca from the glowing double halberds they held.
On the surface, these double halberds only emitted a gentle glow.
But beneath the faint glow, a massive amount of electricity sward, and a direct hit would inevitably result in significant lightning damage.
At the sa ti,
Soldiers dressed in Fishman-like attire also appeared near the beach.
Their weapons were more portable—electric shock guns that Matthew had previously seen on Hu Three.
Furthermore,
Three large ships and fifteen smaller vessels appeared on the nearby sea.
It had to be admitted,
The invisibility technology of Storluk Industries was indeed very powerful.
Evading Matthew's Insight with invisibility alone was no small feat, let alone hiding so many people at the sa ti.
It was the sa old saying—
This undead army could be taken to Aindor, and no army on the mainland could possibly match it!
In thought,
The Special Soldiers on the beach quickly surrounded the three of them.
There were only about twenty of these soldiers, but they felt as though there were hundreds.
Even within Insight,
Matthew was temporarily unable to ascertain the precise positions of these soldiers.
"Phantom technology?"
Matthew glanced at linda.
She nodded slightly,
"Psionic spells, perpetually charged."
"It's often difficult to distinguish the true bodies of the soldiers from their shadows until the combat suits take so damage."
While Matthew admired the advanced technology of Storluk Industries, he prepared to make a move.
But linda signaled him to hold back.
"Are you from the Seahorse forces?"
She stepped forward and shouted at the soldiers,
"Which one of you is the Commander? Stuart or Hoyes?"
The soldiers remained unmoved.
However, they did not launch an attack and only held their weapons, forming an enclosure around the three.
linda continued shouting.
A few minutes later,
A hovercraft appeared on the sea.
There were only two people on the hovercraft besides the driver—a tall fully constructed undead with an elegant tallic shell.
Different from the eyes of other space undead,
The eyes of this commander were a dark purple.
"So it's you, Stuart."
linda relaxed her expression.
She whispered to Matthew,
"He is one of the general's n; I've had a few encounters with him before. I can try to persuade him."
Matthew nodded slightly.
"I guess you didn't set up this ambush for , did you?"
linda greeted Commander Stuart with a cheery smile.
Stuart said calmly,
"Indeed."
"But by intruding on the trap we had set up beforehand, you might cause the failure of our mission, and you must bear so responsibility for this."
linda said cautiously,
"We can leave right away."
Stuart sneered,
"How do I know you are not spies sent by the royal family?"
"Now, thinking of leaving won't be that easy."
linda frowned,
"I have always been loyal to the general."
Stuart said flatly,
"That was in the past."
"After the general lost favor, how many have secretly pledged allegiance to the royal family?"
"You can't just send away with a few words."
linda exclaid in surprise,
"Has your relationship with the royal family beco so hostile?"
Stuart's dark purple eyes stared at her intently.
After nearly a minute,
He said coldly,
"Don't you know?"
"Just now, the royal faction's forces attacked Sky Heart Land, forcefully taking over the Sky-reaching Matrix."
"Many Ancients have died in battle, and the few who survived have been imprisoned..."
"To counter the royal faction's desperate actions, we had to make a wide range of military maneuvers. Now Storluk's waters are in a level three alert state, and any unit approaching the coast is required to undergo our inspection!"
"Now that the royal faction has gained control of the Sky-reaching Matrix, they have the upper hand. I'm sorry, but under these circumstances, I cannot let go of anyone who might be a spy!"
"Even you, too."
Hearing this,
Konda instinctively objected,
"It's impossible!"
"When I left, Sky Heart Land was still safe!"
Stuart glanced at Konda and scoffed,
"Do Tauren also possess enough wisdom to practice psionic power?"
Konda wasn't offended by this.
He simply responded to Stuart's taunt with a calm gaze.
After a few seconds of silence, the latter spoke,
"According to the intelligence I've received, the attack occurred just thirty minutes ago. The Sin Master's whereabouts are currently unknown, which is the best news for us—
It ans the Sky-reaching Matrix hasn't completely fallen into the hands of the royal faction!
You should receive the news soon..."
Before he could finish speaking,
Konda's body suddenly trembled slightly.
Imdiately following,
A humming sound buzzed in Matthew's ears—
It was a special sound wave.
After transformation by the Sky-reaching Matrix, it turned into ssages layered with images and text!
Matthew saw a huge basin with mysterious stone columns rising everywhere, and flas reaching to the sky.
Cries of agony from Ancients like Konda could be heard every mont.
