?What do you think is in that thing??

?I don?t know, maybe there are still some unfinished materials.?

?I see…?

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, then pressed his hand against the metal sphere.

The metal touch permeated through the carbon nano handguard of the power armor and into his palm.

As he focused his consciousness on the palm of his hand, he took a deep breath.

The next moment, the entire furnace disappeared in front of the three of them, like a shadow that was suddenly snatched away

?Then, as agreed??

?Very good.?

Without any warning, Golovin I suddenly took out his pistol and pointed it at Jiang Chen?s back.

?PING!?

Almost at the moment the gun was fired, a silver white blade flickered, and blue flames sparkled in the air.

The metal bullet was cut into two pieces right down the middle. And the expressionless Lilith already stood behind Jiang Chen?s back.

Countless silver needles descended from the air, and with the sound of the needles breaking the sound barrier, they swooshed in Golovin I?s direction. However, the silver needles didn?t hurt Golovin I, instead they collided against an invisible shield, and only left transparent ripples in the air.

?This is really troublesome.?

Golovin I sighed softly, looked at Lilith who stared at him emotionlessly, and lowered the pistol in his hand.

With his back still facing Golovin I, Jiang Chen did not turn around but spoke softly.

?Can you give me a reason??

?This is the best result. You have already lost.? Golovin I said calmly, ?From the moment the Earth Fleet was defeated…No, I reminded you a long time ago that you have no chance of winning.?

?Is that the reason for shooting me??

?It?s just an anesthetic,? Even after he just backstabbed his ally, Golovin I?s look remained calm and collected as if he was stating an obvious fact, ?By the time you wake up, you?ll find yourself aboard the Svetovid.?

Then become the guinea pig in the lab?

?I never asked you to let me on the ship,? Jiang Chen sneered, ?Just tell me, what is your purpose? Planetary forge? Get some more before you leave??

?I don?t deny, or rather, our purpose was that from the beginning,? Golovin I said calmly, ?We can make a deal.?

?Do you think it is possible?? Jiang Chen looked at him, with viciousness and coldness in his eyes.

?Do you still have a choice??

The silence between the two lasted for a while.

Then, Jiang Chen suddenly started to laugh.

His laugh was very delightful…

No.

To be precise, it was very carefree.

After all, he made a choice like this, his mood could not be described as cheerful.

Golovin I looked at him in silence. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes that had never appeared before.

When it seemed that Jiang Chen had laughed enough, he stopped. He then slightly lowered his gaze, so that Golovin I could not see his eyes.

?If it was just now, there really is no choice, but now…?

After he paused for a moment, he used a nearly hoarse voice and squeezed the words out of his throat one by one.

?…Just now, I suddenly understood the meaning behind that gift.?

Golovin I was taken aback at first.

For an instant, the face that hadn?t shown any fluctuation of emotions suddenly changed.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

?Lilith!?

?Roger.?

The silver short blade popped out from between the sleeves and the expressionless Lilith?s petite figure was like a cannonball as she leaped towards Golovin I.

…

?This is Guards-1, I?m being attacked by the Golovins! I repeat, we?re being attacked by Golovins!?

Inside the ruins, the not-so-wide space was filled by the dancing bullets.

Celestial Marine soldiers stationed at the entrance of the portal were caught off guard by a sudden attack from their allies. Fortunately, these soldiers were all elites in Celestial Trade, and they responded immediately.

The original friendly atmosphere was replaced by shock and anger. The Celestial Trade Marine soldiers, inside power armors, moved with their backs against the mobile cover. They raised their electromagnetic rifles and fired back against the Golovin soldiers? laser weapons.

Among the corpses scattered on the ground, some belonged to the Golovins while some belonged to Celestial Trade…

?What exactly happened!??

With disbelief-filled eyes, after Hong Zewei heard the report from the frontline, he smashed his fist against the table with force.

He didn?t understand why the Golovins would stab them in the back right now.

Is there any benefit to them?

He didn?t know anything about the deal between Jiang Chen and Golovin I, and he couldn?t understand the intention behind Golovin?s actions.

However, there was no time left for Hong Zewei to hesitate.

Since the opponent already fired the first shot, it meant that a war that could not be more foolish had already started.

There was nothing to lose anymore. It was surprisingly easy to make this kind of decision that should have been difficult…

With a self-deprecating grin, Hong Zewei took a deep breath, and the expression in his eyes was replaced by fortitude.

He pressed the holographic window at the corner of the table and connected it to the missile force from Heavenly Palace City.

?Launch the ballistic missiles, target, Svetovid City!?

?…Roger.?

In Heavenly Palace City, a shrill alarm sounded.

The missile launchers drove out of the garage and raised the cuboid missile nest. With the plume of smokes that fired forward and backward simultaneously, the dozen meter-long missiles took off one after another, as they headed in the direction of Svetovid City and their space elevator.

Golovin?s land-based short-range missiles immediately lifted off and intercepted the ballistic missiles launched by Heavenly Palace City. Clusters of flames exploded above the desert. Like magnificent fireworks, they announced the rupture of friendship between the two sides.

Hong Zewei stared at the image on the holographic screen and he clenched his fists tightly.

Obviously, the other party had already expected such a day.

In other words, they were preparing for this day since a long time ago.

However, to everyone?s surprise, Golovin, who was threatened by the strategic strike, did not launch a counterattack against Heavenly Palace City and even ignored the civilian transport ship leaving the port from Celestial Trade?s space elevator. They only launched short-range missiles that intercepted the ballistic missiles.

Perhaps in their eyes, these things destined to be destroyed were no longer worth their ammunition.

Containers of supplies were sent along the space elevator to the synchronous orbit, and the Svetovid was in the final phase of preparation for the upcoming voyage. At the same time, rows of guns of different sizes on the ship were aimed at the far away Heavenly Palace City, shrouded by the graviton barrier.

Obviously, the Golovins had been concealing their true strength.

If he hadn?t seen it with his own eyes, Hong Zewei, who stared at the picture on the holographic screen, couldn?t believe that there were so many guns hidden on the harmless starship…

However, at this moment, an unexpected change suddenly happened.

In the direction of the asteroid belt, bug ships waving their tentacles suddenly appeared out from the deep and gloomy universe.

At this moment, the deadly gaze from light-years away finally approached the gate of Earth civilization.

These bugs always seemed to surprise people.

After they just ignored the space colonization ship that had just passed through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. More than thirty bug ships and countless splitters had already arrived on the battlefield.

After the clock ticked forward by half a century, the countdown to the end was pushed ahead unreasonably by three days….
