Ultragene Warlord

”We won ’t move.
If we do, you ’ll disrupt our formation! ”

Zhang Hanxiang ’s face was as cold as sleet.
”Scram. ”

Using the whirling violet lasers and the black spirits all around them as an excuse, the aliens refused to make way for the draconian forces.
”There are purple lasers all around us, and black spirits that haven ’t been dealt with! How do you expect us to make space for you now? ”

The flashing purple lasers meant that no one wanted to fight with the black spirits at the moment.
Both sides were cutting their losses; the only ones still fighting without care or regard for their lives were the gray monstrosities.
They alone were sufficient to deal with the remaining black spirits; indeed, they even had the upper hand.

As such, the reason the aliens refused to move boiled down to their displeasure with the draconian forces ’ actions—they wanted to hinder what they thought were a bunch of cowards and weaklings.

If they refused to budge from their formations, the draconian forces would have a hard time retreating.
It wasn ’t impossible, but their speed was greatly reduced.

Hong Xi was once again reminded of what Zhang Lie had warned her—beware of your allies, who could well be more dangerous than your purported enemies.
These ”allies ” of theirs could very well be sending the draconian forces to their death.

However, there were a few other aliens willing to listen.
One scaleman called out, ”There are purple lasers all over! How are we supposed to retreat? ”

Hong Xi replied, ”Avoid their trajectories as much as possible. ”

Zhang Hanxiang added, ”It doesn ’t matter if we get struck by the smaller lasers.
We just have to avoid the biggest, thickest one, from the death spirit flagship. ”

”I understand! ”

To Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi ’s surprise, there were finally aliens willing to listen to them.
The forces of the Zongming world followed their command.

There were many aliens from the Zongming world, and their combined numbers allowed the draconian forces to move more freely.
With so many aliens moving at once, the other superior worlds ’ forces didn ’t dare to hold them back any longer.

Even so, they cried out, ”What are you doing? You need to believe in his highness Nightdemon! ”

”Believe in his highness Nightdemon! If he were to find out that all of you were causing chaos in our formation while he ’s trying to block the attack, he ’d be very upset! ”

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

”His highness Nightdemon saved us all during the spatial storm.
I ’m sure he ’ll be able to deal with this crisis too! ”

”Yes, he must have an ace up his sleeve! ”

The aliens tried to stop the commotion, not with their bodies, but with their words.

”Are you certain? ” The scalemen pointed at the Shining Trapezohedron in the sky.
”It ’s already been forced back quite some distance. ”

The intensity of the purple laser was forcing the Shining Trapezohedron back, bit by bit.

The scalemen cried out, ”I do believe in his highness Nightdemon, but I trust Hong Xi more! When the spatial storm erupted, she was the first to react and to propose a solution.
If not for her timely and accurate judgment, we ’d have lost another third of our forces. ”

The scalemen were willing to believe Hong Xi not just because Zhang Lie had warned them to be careful of their allies, but also because of her prudent judgment and track record.

Another alien from the Zongming world called out, ”Look at the forces that Hong Xi commands! She lost the fewest forces when the spatial storm erupted. ”

The other aliens put too much blind faith in Nightdemon.

”His highness Nightdemon surely has a way out of this mess! ”

”He definitely knows what he ’s doing.
We just have to listen to him! ”

”His highness Nightdemon is the clone of the king of chaos, the strongest king! He slew a death spirit on the level of a superior king in the past.
There ’s no way he ’d be pushed back by the death spirits ’ weapons! We have to believe in him! ”

These aliens were immediately forced to confront the truth of their beliefs.

The death spirits ’ flagship, having dealt with Zhang Lie ’s sharks, flew straight at Nightdemon, who was unable to react because of his intense focus on the Shining Trapezohedron.

The aliens all inhaled in shock.

Wilbow sent a battleship flying, while the frost spirit commander held another one back.
Gold Comet emerged in a beam of golden light, zipping around and distracting a third battleship.

”[Ninecarp Transformation]! ” A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr.
It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.

The remaining two battleships flew toward Nightdemon as the aliens began to panic.

Nightdemon, who had to devote his entire attention to the Shining Trapezohedron, was completely unprotected.
Any blow that the two battleships dealt him might be lethal—and that blow would strike at the very heart of the allied forces.

Zhang Lie shot forward with his black serpent.
”[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]! ”

Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.
The black serpent wrapped around the two battleships and halted their motion as the aliens wiped the sweat off their forehead.

”I told you, there won ’t be a problem! ”

”His highness Nightdemon isn ’t the only one fighting out there—the other commanders have joined in! Nothing bad will happen. ”

”Even if you doubt Nightdemon ’s strength, you shouldn ’t doubt the other commanders as well. ”

The aliens tried to persuade the draconian world ’s forces, only to find that they had already evacuated quite some distance away.

”Just what are all of you doing? Look, we ’re all fine! ”

”Believe in your own commander, at least! ”

”These cowards—what ’s there to fear?! ”

The retreating forces spared no thought for the aliens they left behind.
They certainly did believe in Nightdemon ’s strength, but not to such an extent that they would bet their lives on it.

They didn ’t intend to rely on blind faith and laziness—they ’d fight for their own lives themselves.

There were quite a few aliens who were wondering whether or not to flee with Hong Xi and her forces.

”These fellows have upended our entire formation! ” some aliens began to grumble.
”If they can ’t even trust their own commander, who will they trust? ”
