Chapter 129 The War Ends
Seeing Hua Ye's hasty retreat, Li Yao did not continue the pursuit.
He glanced indifferently at a certain spot in the starry sky; the faint sense of being watched during his fight with Hua Ye had never disappeared.
Carl was indeed secretly observing the situation, ready to rescue the person at any moment. Even if he went all out, the other party would use the giant clock to save them.
However, he never intended to deal with Hua Ye today.
My plan to eliminate the scum hasn't even started yet. Hua Ye is still useful. Keeping him around will make it easier to clean up those remnants of the Heavenly Palace later. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to find them one by one.
He withdrew his gaze and looked towards... well, Morgana, who had already hidden far away.
The battlefield was now a scene of utter devastation.
The Taotie fleet was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size, and the demon legion also suffered a loss of 70%. Only three high-end combatants remained: Ato, Xueyi, and Soton. These three had also suffered considerable injuries and were now fiercely protecting Morgana.
Atto, clutching his bleeding chest, said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you must go! I will cover your retreat!"
Xueyi nodded, "Your Majesty, as long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"
Morgana gritted her teeth, looking at the demon corpses scattered on the ground, her eyes filled with resentment.
She was unwilling to lose like this, but looking at Li Yao, who was full of energy, not far away, she knew in her heart that if the fight continued, neither of them would be able to leave today.
Just then, a massive fleet appeared in the distant starry sky.
Hundreds and thousands of gilded interstellar warships broke through the void and neatly docked in a corner of the battlefield.
The golden sun flag fluttering at the bow of the ship stood out starkly against the dark backdrop of space.
"The Blazing Sun Fleet!"
Morgana's eyes lit up, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled.
She breathed a sigh of relief, a cold smile playing on her lips: "That old fox, Pan Zhen, has finally decided to show himself."
In her view, since Pan Zhen had come, he must have come to join forces against Li Yao.
Even if I can't beat him, I can at least hold him off and buy myself time to escape.
The angels immediately tensed up and gripped their weapons tightly.
Li Yao raised an eyebrow slightly, watching the vast and imposing Blazing Sun Fleet with great interest.
All the cannons of the Blazing Sun Fleet simultaneously charged up.
The next second, artillery fire poured down.
Unexpectedly, the artillery fire did not target the angels, but instead blasted straight into the remnants of the Taotie and demon armies.
Before they could react, the Taotie warship was instantly torn to shreds, and hundreds of demon warriors who couldn't dodge in time were burned to ashes.
"Pan Zhen! I'll fuck your mother!"
Morgana was so angry she was trembling and started cursing.
She never expected that Pan Zhen would turn against her at the last minute!
Atto quickly pleaded with Morgana, "Queen! Stop yelling! Let's go!"
Amid the chaos, Li Yao observed the sudden turn of events and understood what was happening.
Pan Zhen, that old fox, is really shrewd; he's trying to offend neither side.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Court of Clouds, Pan Zhen closed his eyes and pondered.
He originally intended to come and take advantage of the situation, but after witnessing Li Yao instantly kill Shi Hao, cripple Morgana, and utterly defeat Hua Ye, he immediately changed his mind.
Fighting an angel? He wouldn't dare, nor was he stupid.
Instead, we should turn our attention to the demons and the gluttons. This way, we can do the angel a favor and allow Morgana to escape during the chaos, thus avoiding offending either side.
As expected, the Sunfire Fleet's firepower, though seemingly fierce, consistently and intentionally avoided Morgana's location.
But the Taotie and the lower-level demons suffered greatly, almost all perishing in the baptism of fire and becoming cannon fodder.
Taking advantage of the brief lull, Morgana glared fiercely in the direction of Li Yao and Pan Zhen, throwing out a harsh threat: "Li Yao! Pan Zhen! I'll remember this!"
After saying that, she and Ato and the others transformed into a streak of black light and instantly disappeared into the wormhole.
The Demon One immediately initiated its highest-speed jump and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Morgana ran away, the Sunfire Fleet continued bombarding for a while before ceasing fire, but they did not approach Li Yao.
Just as Li Yao returned to the Tianyao with the angels, a clandestine communication channel directly connected to his private channel. Pan Zhen's voice was respectful as he spoke:
"Lord Li Yao, I acted impulsively last time and offended you greatly. I hope you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart. Consider the God-Slaying Halberd as my apology to you."
"This humble general was merely passing through this place today, on his way to Blue Star to welcome my goddess Lena back to Lieyang. Since you have already cleared the battlefield, this humble general will not disturb your return journey any longer."
Before Li Yao could reply, the Lieyang Fleet sped away from the battlefield at top speed, fearing that Li Yao would catch up and cause trouble.
Seeing the actions of the Blazing Sun Fleet, Angel Leng couldn't help but sneer, "What a cunning old fox."
Li Yao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Unfortunately, that old fox miscalculated."
"Hmm?" The angel coldly revealed a hint of doubt.
Li Yao explained, "He thought this move would allow Lieyang to escape unscathed, but little did he know that Karl had already been watching them, and Morgana is also a vengeful person; she wouldn't appreciate this favor."
The angel nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "What about our account with the blazing sun?"
Li Yao said firmly, "Of course we need to calculate everything clearly, but now is not the time."
He turned around, looking at the faces, still bright despite the smoke of battle, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:
"Do you remember the promise I made to you when we left Tiancheng for Blue Star?"
"I said I would make sure that none of us would be left out of the family."
"I did it!"
The moment the words fell, all the angels' eyes welled up with tears.
Looking at the young king before them, a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.
From the moment they left Tiancheng, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. They regarded Li Yao's original promise as just a vision.
Moreover, after Queen Keisha's fall, they had even less hope for it.
Arriving on the unfamiliar blue planet, the future is uncertain. There is no idea where justice and order will lead, or whether one will be able to return to their homeland alive.
They were even prepared for their entire army to be wiped out on Earth.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Yao led them to defeat the enemy and protected every single soldier.
They subconsciously glanced around, their eyes sweeping over every familiar figure: Sister Leng, Zhixin, Lingxi, Yitian, Fanxing, Yaoyang...
They all survived; none of them remained forever on that cold, alien battlefield, nor did any of them turn into unknown dust in the universe.
Their king truly fulfilled his initial promise.
There were no deafening cheers, only dozens of pairs of eyes, already moist, gazing at Li Yao with tenderness and determination.
They raised their right hands in unison, offering a perfect and devout angelic salute to their king, their voices unified and filled with heartfelt reverence and a sense of belonging.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Yao nodded slightly, accepting the offer calmly.
He knew that from this moment on, the soldiers in front of him were his most loyal subordinates.
"Let's go home!"
