Contrary to what the fleeing sand people leaders had guessed, Great Elder Hessen not only did not die, he was still alive and well.
After all, he is also a third-ring psyker, the number one master of the Sand People, and the number one master on the planet. He still has a few ways to save his life.
The excellent perception ability given to him by his psychic talent allowed him to sense the approaching danger at the first moment, and he quickly launched his psychic spells. Huge stone puppets grew on the ground, blocking him in the camp.
He fell under his body. And the next second, the deafening explosion sound penetrated the solid rock body of the puppet and dominated his hearing. Then, the blazing high temperature and shock wave tore apart his scales like a sharp sword.
, penetrated deep into the muscle and bone marrow. He felt that there was pain everywhere in his body, his internal organs were churning, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiled dry.
In fact, if Heson was not a psychic master who had opened the third ring of the astrolabe, and his physique was no longer a mortal thing, all the above would have happened.
After severe pain and a brief period of confusion, he seemed to gradually realize that he was being shelled. Moreover, it was shelling from Archie Heights.
The mercenaries rebelled? This was the first thought of the great elder. Did something go wrong during the test firing? No, someone is going to rebel! Yes, the "king" of the city-state and the "khan" of the tribe who don't like me are really
Too many! Are they finally going to attack me? Someone must have bribed those money-hungry goblins, right?
But, it shouldn’t, it really shouldn’t! Even if we were to take action, we should have completely defeated the Tulong garrison! You short-sighted rats are really incapable of planning!
The Great Elder has not had the option of "the heavy artillery position has been captured by the Earthlings" in his mind for a long time. This is understandable. Hessen is not a military expert who has received strict training and arduous study, nor is he a natural general.
There is no superhuman sensitivity. After all, he has an army of millions. It is really hard to imagine that someone would get into the defense line of his army, seize all the heavy artillery, and then in turn bombard his own side.
The heavy artillery bombarded the camp for an unknown number of rounds. Just when the elder felt that he was really going to die below, someone finally dug out the broken stone golem and dug him out.
"Teacher! That's great... you're still alive! That's great!"
It took the Great Elder a few seconds to finally come back to his senses. His vision gradually turned from chaos to blur. The constantly shaking vision, the strong light and heat coming from all directions, and the loud noises one after another still occupied Hessen's huge space.
Most of his senses were used, but he could finally recognize the other person's appearance.
"Mi Xun..."
The most proud disciple of the Great Elder let out a long sigh of relief. The fact that the teacher could recognize him meant that he was not dead nor stupid, so he quickly reached out and helped him up.
The great elder grinned and took a breath. He endured the pain and looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly: "What happened? Did someone rebel? Hanrat? Game? Or someone else..."
Mi Xun said loudly: "Teacher, our heavy artillery position was taken away by the people on earth!"
Hessen was at a loss for a second, then shook his head: "This, this is impossible! We..."
"Teacher, it has happened! Moreover, the defenders in Tulong Port also attacked! We are defeated! Please make a decision!"
The great elder was stunned for another second, then suddenly shook his tongue vigorously, forcing himself to dispel all the confusion. He stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Where are the others? Where is Feng Fist?"
Mi Xun lowered his head with a heavy expression.
Of course, the "rest of people" mentioned by the Great Elder does not refer to the manpower of the other lords and chiefs, but a thousand-man guard led by his disciples. This is probably the most organized force in the history of the sand people. However,
, as guards, they are naturally stationed around the camp, and of course they are also the first round of bombardment targets.
"Really..." The great elder looked at Mi Xun, who was also covered in injuries, and sighed.
"Teacher, most people are fleeing. The situation here is irreversible. However, as long as you are still alive, you still have a chance!" Mi Xun said.
Hessen gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, there is still a chance! Let's go... Wu, wait, Mi Xun, where is Kaz Khan? Have you seen Kaz Khan?"
Mi Xun shook his head, thinking that I was knocked unconscious just now. I came to dig you out as soon as I woke up, so I couldn't care about other people.
"Save him! He is the future! Let's go to him!" Hessen said.
Mi Xun will naturally not object. On the one hand, the teacher is like a god in her mind, and on the other hand, it is naturally a little thought of her own.
She helped the teacher up, looked around, and found a dying large velociraptor not far away. Mi Xun ran over quickly and injected her spiritual energy into the velociraptor. She was a "believer",
And prepare to develop into a branch path of "pure" star rings.
Its abilities focus on repair, treatment, infection, inspiration, etc. To put it bluntly, she is a wet nurse. Of course, she is only a link now, and cannot really live to death with human flesh and bones. At most, she can only use spiritual energy to absorb the opponent's vitality.
Excite them all at once and temporarily restore their mobility.
Mi Xun helped the elder climb up the dragon's back, judged the direction, and prepared to go in the direction of Kaz Khan's camp. However, the two of them had just run a short distance when they collided with the retreating troops from the opposite side.
A large group of sand people bumped into each other.
"Stop! Stop! Go back and fight! You are the sons of Vanu! You are the masters of this planet! Take up arms! Go back and fight! Why are you running away! Why are you running away in front of your mentor!"
Young Mi Xun stood on the back of the dragon and shouted loudly to everyone. However, the sound of cannons and gunshots obscured her voice. The sand people who were in constant panic could not even see the road ahead clearly.
All I know is that they were defeated by the masses like walking zombies, and naturally Mi Xun and the others could no longer be seen.
"You cowards! Stop now!" Mi Xun roared, and the power of the spirit condensed from spiritual energy was like a ball of thunder spewed out of thin air, completely overwhelming the sound of the cannon for a moment.
Many sand people were also shocked and actually recovered from their panic.
"Mi, Master Mi Xun?"
"Great Elder!"
"It's the Great Elder!"
The sand people who came back to their senses saw Hessen on the dragon's back. They immediately ignored the fact that the opponent was obviously seriously injured and his energy was as thin as a thread. Many of them threw themselves to the ground and kowtowed.
"Great Elder, save us!"
"Save everyone!"
"Please guide us again."
More and more fleeing sand people stopped. Civilized society also has a herd effect. They may run away because some people run away, and of course they will regain courage because some people go against the flow.
Hessen looked at Mi Xun with admiration. If this proud disciple hadn't turned the tide through his words, he, the great elder and the "wizard" of the third ring, would have been more vulnerable to the retreating defeated troops than a dead tree in a mountain torrent.
A high level does not necessarily mean that it is powerful, nor does it mean that it is omnipotent. Junior awakeners who can achieve specific effects under specific conditions are probably more useful than those masters or even saints.
The Great Elder felt that he should seriously consider the application of different psykers in war. However, this kind of "high-end" tactics seemed too far away from the current sand people.
"Get up immediately and organize the team! Which of you has ever been an officer? Get up quickly and take charge of the team!" Hesson asked loudly.
This group of defeated troops really had a few officers, and even a warrior captain and a centurion, which were considered the most senior military positions under the "King" and "Khan". With the encouragement of the Great Elder and Mi Xun, they finally
Work began. Unfortunately, they were not the kind of people who could gather and disperse soldiers easily. It took nearly ten minutes to finally reorganize 500 people.
They are still a mob! The great elder shook his head secretly, thinking that this is better than nothing.
He didn't expect to be able to lead this group of people to fight back, but to be able to protect him and rescue Kaz Khan, and then try to use this as a basis to gather the defeated troops, it would not be considered as losing everything.
"We..." The great elder was about to encourage everyone. However, at this moment, a red beam of light fell on the crowd like raindrops. Many sand people were pierced by the blazing beam of light on the spot.
The internal organs and muscles were even directly evaporated. However, when those beams hit the ground, they exploded and spread into turbulent shock waves, constantly tearing apart the bodies of the surrounding sand people.
The sand people had just regained a little bit of courage, and now they were like soap bubbles floating into the fire, disappearing in an instant. But this time, there was no inspiring words to restore everyone's morale.
.
Because another series of blaster beams exploded on the side of the velociraptor, knocking off the master and apprentice on the dragon's back on the spot.
Fortunately, Hessen had recovered a little bit of physical strength at this time. He used his spiritual energy to gather airflow and lifted himself and Mi Xun up. They did not suffer any impact when they landed. His sight passed through the chaotic crowd, and finally
Captured a figure wearing power armor in the distance, as well as a "Divine Guard" tank.
"Divine Guard" is actually the official name given to their "Stitch Monster" tank by the sand people lords after discussion. Although the name is very awe-inspiring, it is essentially a building block made of components made in many countries.
.
Of course Hessen knew that in the Milky Way, a tank of this quality would never be on the market. But he also knew that this was still the most powerful war weapon on this remote planet.
After all, this is a serious tank with armor, shields and an ion cannon. At least it is much more powerful than the Panther tank in the hands of the police.
He persuaded various ministries and city-states to buy 200 tanks from those "collaborators" by selling iron and steel, always thinking that they would become the trump card for breaking through the Tulong defense line. But so far, the enemies killed by these tanks are far less than the number of his own people who have been crushed to death.
There are many, but once it falls into the enemy's hands, it will become a nightmare for one's own side.
"You should listen to Kaz. After you get the tank, you should train for at least a year and form a separate unit to form a combat effectiveness!" Hessen gritted his teeth and grabbed Mi Xun.
"Quick, go find Kaz!"
"...Old teacher!"
"Quickly go! I'll cut off the queen!"
Mi Xun was about to cry, but his mentor had already pushed him away. By the time he reacted, he had been sent a hundred meters away by spiritual energy.
"Remember! He is the future! Help him! Assist him! Give us hope!" Hessen left his final instructions to his disciples, and rushed towards the direction of the enemy without hesitation.
