Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World
Chapter 1136: Turning the Tide

Chapter 1136: Turning the Tide

Without weapons, he used his hands, his feet, even his head, fighting like a wild beast.

His desperate actions ignited a spark in the other officers and soldiers.

"Well said! If we’re going to die anyway, let’s take as many as we can with us!" another officer shouted, immediately throwing himself at an alien nearby.

The other soldiers snapped out of their daze, quickly following suit.

At that moment, the cannon fire finally struck.

The deafening explosions rang out endlessly, and the screams of agony formed a symphony of chaos on the battlefield.

The human officers and soldiers who had been ready to perish alongside the aliens suddenly froze in their tracks.

Until the cannon fire rained down, they hadn’t realized that what should have been aimed at them was, in fact, tearing into the aliens instead.

Caught off guard, the aliens were blown to bits, losing two to three thousand troops in the blink of an eye—a devastating blow.

"Why!" Rynis and Tirok, tangled up with their beast puppet foes, looked on in furious disbelief.

"Was it a mistake? That’s impossible! The general wouldn’t make such a low-level error!"

"What’s going on with the battleship?"

"We couldn’t establish contact with the battleship earlier. Did something happen? But the generals and some elite soldiers are onboard! How could the humans possibly have done this?"

The aliens were red-eyed with rage, unable to believe that their prized battleship had been captured.

The generals were incredibly powerful, especially General Aelra, whose strength was unmatched—there was no way the battleship could have fallen.

However, the continuous bombardment shattered any lingering illusions.

On the human side, Major General Rafiq quickly grasped the situation and ordered a retreat for all forces on the battlefield.

Regardless of what was happening with the alien battleship—be it internal strife or something beyond their comprehension—the one certainty was that this ship was targeting the aliens on the battlefield.

There was no point in being collateral damage.

As soon as the command was given, the human soldiers began a frantic retreat.

Most of them were piloting mechas and sprinted back at full speed.

The aliens didn’t dare to pursue, knowing that entering the humans’ defensive zone would still mean certain death.

Onboard the battleship, Amalia watched as the humans withdrew and the aliens were left exposed in swaths.

She immediately issued another command to Tariq: open fire.

A wide barrage of cannon fire followed, and this time, there was no need for caution.

More and more aliens fell.

A single energy cannon struck Rynis, blasting him to the ground and leaving him in a massive crater, his fate unknown.

Tirok fared no better.

Between dodging the relentless energy cannon strikes and the beast puppet’s attacks, he ultimately couldn’t escape.

"This is unfair! Why, why!"

Tirok’s anguished cry of defiance echoed through the air, eerily reminiscent of the humans from before.

When the aliens on Lumora were nearly wiped out, leaving only a small number who no longer posed a threat to the humans, the battleship departed, heading toward the next star system.

By the time they reached the fourth planet, they only needed to clean up a half-finished battlefield, thanks to Amalia’s foresight in deploying two beast puppets to Krythos.

Amalia had a total of five beast puppets at her disposal, and she assigned one of the remaining ones to Krythos, which had the smallest population among the targeted planets.

Krythos lacked strong Mecha Soldier, and its highest-ranking commander wasn’t even a general but rather a former planetary leader.

The same was true for Astralis.

The Draconis Empire didn’t have enough generals to station on every planet, so many planets need to relied on their own residents to rise up in resistance.

As a result, many planets fell quickly, unable to hold out for long.

Only a few of them were managed to survive until now.

After exterminating the aliens on Krythos, Khalil stepped forward, bringing the top commanders from Krythos, Astralis, and Gaia together to Lumora for a face-to-face discussion.

If they hadn’t recognized Khalil, they might have thought this was another alien conspiracy, using a human to deceive them.

A few hours later, the leaders of all five planets gathered in one place.

No one spoke first.

They were all still in a daze.

The arrival of this miracle had been too overwhelming.

Khalil had somehow seized the aliens battleship—a feat so unbelievable that no amount of imagination could explain how it had happened.

Khalil cleared his throat. "I know what you’re all thinking. To be honest, I feel the same way. It’s hard to put this into words even now. But to clarify, this battleship wasn’t captured by us. It was taken by Ms. Amalia and Mr. Kenny. The aliens on the ship have already been killed by them."

A collective gasp echoed through the room.

Major General Rafiq his piercing gaze unwavering, focused intently on the two figures who are seated without hesitation at the head of the table—the seats that Khalil had ceded to them.

From the moment this two people entered the room, Major General Rafiq had felt it.

He knew Khalil’s capabilities very well; after all, he had been one of his subordinates.

If he had possessed this ability himself, Khalil wouldn’t have waited until now to act.

From the beginning, he had suspected that these young woman and young man were involved, but never in his wildest imagination had he thought they would single-handedly take down an alien battleship—one that remained completely intact.

It was well-known that the aliens, to prevent humans from acquiring their technology, were fanatically protective, ensuring not even the remnants of a Cosmorite Mech fell into human hands.

Whenever humans were discovered infiltrating, the aliens would usually destroy everything around them immediately.

Of course, it was also possible that the rarity and complexity of constructing a battleship made the aliens reluctant to destroy it carelessly.

At this moment, Major General Rafiq stood up slowly.

He raised his hand and delivered a crisp and powerful military salute.
