Chapter 115 The Earth Demon's Valor, Kushana's Counterattack
There is no such thing as a mysterious destiny. The reason why the master was able to sense Nausicaä is because he also has spiritual power. Therefore, although they serve different masters, the master still values Nausicaä highly. As for Asbel...
"Hey... just teach him a lesson, don't kill him!"
The old man also had his unkind side, but to be fair, the superior's compassion was limited to this. After they boarded the ship, they still sailed towards the battlefield according to the original plan.
Meanwhile, Nausicaä returned to the gunboat in the Valley of the Wind.
"Princess..."
"Grandpa Mitt, we have to go back right away, something terrible has happened!!"
As he spoke, he pulled the control lever to its full strength, and the engine at the rear of the gunboat immediately emitted a painful groan. After all, it was a two-hundred-year-old veteran and could not withstand the violent driving of these young people.
A streak of light appeared in the gloomy sky in an instant. If she was moving at this speed, she would be able to reach the battlefield in no time, barring any unforeseen circumstances!
Unfortunately, things are about to go wrong! They're still a few minutes away from the camp, and they can already see the Acid Lake in the distance! Nausicaä suddenly felt dizzy.
"Your Highness...are you alright?!"
Grandpa Mit asked with concern, while Nausicaä rubbed her head, her tired eyes becoming misty.
"Why, why is there such intense hatred, filling the sky?"
"Your Highness..."
Nausicaä suddenly poked her head out, which startled Mito. Nausicaä looked over and saw an endless sandstorm rising in the distance; the Ohmu had amassed an army and was heading this way.
"Why is the King Insect so angry?"
Nausicaä trembled slightly, for this was the first time she had ever encountered such a massive Ohmu army. Of course, she had heard of them before, but it was precisely because she had only heard of them that she felt fear, because wherever the Ohmu army went, human civilization would be wiped out, and the spores left behind by the Ohmu would take root and form the Sea of Decay.
"Is this the trap the Master spoke of?"
"Your Highness, it's Flying Pot from the Earth Demon Kingdom, heading towards the camp..."
Mitt was initially surprised by the army of King Insects below, but as an experienced pilot, he immediately spotted the flying object in the sky, a unique aircraft of the Earth Demon Kingdom.
At this moment, the aircraft was not moving very fast, as if it was carrying a heavy cargo underneath. Nausicaä looked closely and realized that what it was carrying underneath was not cargo at all! It was clearly a small queen beetle.
At this moment, the little king insect's blue blood covered its armor, which was stuck with special steel nails. The traction rope was hanging on the steel nails, and the person on it was constantly applying pressure, so the little king insect's injuries could not heal at all.
As everyone knows, the Queen Beetle has an extremely strong healing ability, so in addition to the dragging steel cable, its body is also covered with various drainage channels, which is to make the baby Queen Beetle bleed continuously, and use the scent of the blood to guide the Queen Beetle army below.
Seeing the bleeding Ohmu larvae, Nausicaä recalled some unpleasant memories, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"How could they be so heartless? They actually used the Queen's love for protecting her companions on the battlefield. It's simply incomprehensible!"
Nausicaä couldn't accept it because a person's perception depends on their living environment. Nausicaä grew up in the Valley of the Wind, and in that atmosphere, the greatest pain she could feel was the lack of parental love.
Only when she stepped out of her familiar environment did she truly understand this world! If before she only felt disgust for war, now she felt disgust for the human race as a whole.
This feeling is equivalent to having one's values shattered. Nausicaä thought she had imagined people to be bad enough, but the bottom line of human morality is that there is no bottom line.
"How could they do this? These humans are absolutely despicable!!"
"Heh, Sivir, actually, both humans and beasts are animals, it's just that sometimes humans are willing to act like beasts!!"
Looking at the scene on the big screen, Liu Yufei felt a little emotional. After all, he had actually seen humans wearing animal skins when he was in the world of Princess Mononoke.
The people before her were no different from the hunters; they were all beasts in human skin. For the first time, Sivir, a robot with emotions, felt fortunate that she wasn't human. She then looked at Liu Yufei with curiosity, and his complex gaze did not escape her notice.
"Young Master...are we just going to watch like this?"
Liu Yufei was also somewhat surprised when he looked at Sivir, because he saw a uniquely human emotion in Sivir's eyes: pity!
Most living things don't have these emotions, because the struggle for survival alone already takes up their limited brain capacity. But Liu Yufei's expression quickly calmed down.
"Sylvia, do you want to save them?"
"Young Master, don't you want to?"
This question stumped Liu Yufei. "You say you want to?" he asked. Liu Yufei didn't really mean anything by it. "If you say you don't want to, doesn't that mean you're less than a robot in terms of humanity?!"
"Ah! How's that girl? Isn't she going to eat?"
Ultimately, Liu Yufei chose to avoid the issue. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Liu Yufei himself knew that as his abilities grew stronger, he became even less compassionate.
Perhaps this was inevitable, which is why Liu Yufei chose to escape.
"Miss Rasdale has eaten some fruit, she's fine!!"
"Ah! Then who are you going on this hunger strike for?!"
Should we invite her over?
"This isn't good! This kind of situation isn't good for a child's development!"
Liu Yufei then picked up his juice and watched the King Bugs advance relentlessly on the screen. Sivir gave Liu Yufei a loving look and silently left.
Lasdel stayed in her room, thinking about her brother and her past life, and tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.
Thump...thump thump!
"Please come in!!"
"Ah! Miss Rasdale, you're still awake?"
"Sivir!!"
Upon seeing it was Sivir, Rastelle immediately wiped away her tears, still holding a sliver of hope in her heart, and said:
"Did the young master promise to help me find my brother?"
“Miss, there are more important things for you to do than finding your brother. The war that has broken out below is already very fierce, and this time the King Worm in the Sea of Decay has also been lured out.”
"What, how could this happen?"
Every existing country has records and prevention agencies regarding insect infestations, because the tragic past cases are still chilling. In the past decade, there have been small-scale insect infestations, and each outbreak has meant the demise of a country.
This kind of annihilation does not refer to a monarchical overthrow like that of Pejite, but rather to a nation where 75 percent of the population is directly overwhelmed by the insect swarm, and the remaining people will gradually be infected, with less than 5 percent ultimately surviving.
With this kind of setting, it goes without saying that we know what the insect swarm and infection represent. The impact on the Second Primal is really huge!
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the flying pot spotted Nausicaä's gunboat and launched an attack without hesitation, much to Mito's chagrin!
"Too arrogant, Princess, I'll shoot him down..."
"No, Grandpa Mitt, I'll get on the glider first, you cover me..."
"Princess, what do you want to do, Your Highness..."
If it weren't for the fact that the gunboat needed to be operated, Mit would have liked to grab Nausicaä directly. He was a veteran of the battlefield and had charged into battle alongside Chief Gil countless times before, but this time, assisting Nausicaä was something that always made him feel terrified and helpless.
Meanwhile, Kushana below was engaged in battle with the vanguard of the Earth Demon Kingdom.
"Damn it, where are the sentries outside? Why are there so many people here?"
Death held no fear for her; what enraged her was that the enemy had already reached the doorstep before she even noticed—the disparity between them was immense!
Fortunately, these people all seemed to be assassins with maxed-out stealth, while Kushana's side consisted of warriors who stacked tankiness and armor.
Boom boom...
As explosions rang out, countless soldiers from the Tugui Kingdom on the outer edge of the hillside charged towards this side! Fortunately, their equipment was not as good as that of the Dorumechia soldiers, and they could not break through for a while.
"Guards! Guards! Protect His Highness! These people cannot be allowed onto the spaceship..."
boom...
"My name is Magnetic Rod??? Dorumechia is doomed!!"
Seeing that even the Tugui Kingdom had started producing suicide bombers, Liu Yufei knew that Dorumechia wouldn't last much longer!
Kushana's personal guards were no cowards either. When they saw the enemy detonate the explosives, they immediately grabbed the other person, and the two rolled on the ground in a heap. With a burst of blood mist, no further damage was caused.
Liu Yufei was already used to such bloody scenes. Even if he felt a little uncomfortable, he just treated it as watching a movie. Lasdale, who had just arrived, also happened to see the scene of the battle and was stunned!
Although she was a princess of Pejite, she did not receive the same training from childhood as her brother Asberu. Instead, she learned etiquette, even after Pejite was invaded by the Tolmekia during a war.
But to be honest, there wasn't much resistance in the city. As I said before, the royal family of Pejite wasn't as popular as Rasdel had imagined.
What was now unfolding before her eyes was the true cruelty of war. Both sides were already bloodthirsty, and the suicide bombers of the Earth Demon Kingdom began to advance relentlessly forward.
The soldiers of Dorumechia were all brave and skilled in battle, and in the heat of the battle, a strange stalemate occurred between the two sides.
As for Dorumechia's allies, aren't they just watching from the sidelines? This group of people can loot and riot when things are going well, but when things are going badly, their first priority is to save their own lives. Some of them have even launched their spaceships.
The country that these allies referenced is self-evident!
It's fine to just come and join in the fun, but if a real fight breaks out, I'll fire a couple of shots into the air to fulfill the alliance with the King of Uzbekistan and repay the Dorumechia for their assistance over the years!
Yeah! Hahaha, don't think that Dorumechia is just a tyrant. He occasionally gives these allies some sweet treats. Otherwise, why would everyone listen to you?
