Chapter 1180: The Coming Storm

He even had the expression of a dead man unafraid of torture, which only made Duviel angrier.

Losing patience, he ordered his men to prepare for an interrogation using force, but Amalia stopped him before they could proceed.

"Forget it. No need to waste time. I have a way to get the answers," Amalia said as she uncrossed her legs and stood up, towering over the alien. "I was hoping you’d talk voluntarily, but since you don’t like the gentle approach... I’ll just search your soul by myself."

Nemel hadn’t even processed what "soul search" meant before, in the next instant, his head felt as if countless needles were stabbing into it.

The pain was so intense that he writhed on the ground, screaming in agony.

Within moments, his entire body was drenched in sweat, convulsing uncontrollably, his face twisted in unbearable torment.

His screams echoed through the hall until, eventually, he lacked the strength to even cry out.

Only then did the torture finally cease.

Duviel and the soldiers stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded.

This was the first time they had witnessed such a method of torture—Amalia hadn’t even touched the alien, yet he had suffered to such an extreme degree.

And once it was over, there wasn’t a single mark on his body.

Amalia took a moment to process the information she had just extracted from the alien’s mind.

"The aliens will arrive near Teutonia early tomorrow morning and begin their attack. This alien was sent by Prince of Doomsday to gather intelligence; it has no connection to the other alien factions. The allied forces this time consist of five factions: Prince Crodore himself and the others five alien generals. Apart from leaving a portion of their forces to guard their bases, the rest will mobilize in full force."

She continued, her expression unreadable. "There will be approximately one hundred thousand Cosmorite Mechas and over a million alien warriors attacking Teutonia. Once Teutonia falls, they’ll encircle and cut off our forces from behind, coordinating with Planet Gallia to launch a pincer attack against Major General Rafiq and his fleet."

"This alien was sent by Prince Ceodore because he suspected Aelra wasn’t behind all of this. His instincts indeed sharp," Amalia said with a faint chuckle.

Duviel and the soldiers were stunned upon hearing the numbers—one hundred thousand Cosmorite Mechas and over a million alien warriors.

Even without counting the alien warriors, the sheer force of one hundred thousand mechas was overwhelming.

Their side only had two thousand Cosmorite Mechas.

There was no way they could win in a direct confrontation.

"Ms. Amalia, should we retreat now?" Duviel asked urgently.

"If we flee now, do you really think our ships can outrun their battleship?" Amalia countered.

Duviel fell silent.

There was no way a fleet of transport ships could outpace alien battleship.

"If we stay on Teutonia, we still have a fighting chance. But if we try to escape into space, all they need to do is destroy our ships, and everyone will be doomed," Amalia explained.

"But even if we stay, we’re still no match for their mecha and alien forces!" Duviel was growing anxious.

If escape wasn’t an option, then staying behind would only lead to a massacre.

"That’s not necessarily true. We still have seven to eight hours. I’ll release two of my beast puppets first. If the battle becomes unavoidable and you find yourselves unable to fight back, just run toward them. As for the rest... I will make my preparations. Keep the news of the incoming invasion a secret for now. Wait for my return."

As she finished speaking, Amalia flicked her fingers, sending a blade-like energy slashing through the alien’s skull.

Any remaining life in Nemel instantly vanished.

After she left, Duviel ordered several soldiers to move the alien’s corpse into a room—it might still prove useful.

"Lieutenant, can we really defeat the aliens?" a soldier asked nervously.

He barely believed his own words as he spoke them.

Back then, they couldn’t even defeat thirty thousand Cosmorite Mechas.

Now, the enemy had a hundred thousand, not to mention the million alien warriors they hadn’t even factored into their calculations yet.

"Didn’t you hear what Ms. Amalia said? She’s not worried, so why should we be? If she says she has a plan, then she has a plan. Before the general left, he told us to follow Ms. Amalia’s orders no matter what. We just have to do as she says. I trust she won’t let us walk to our deaths."

Duviel, deep down, wasn’t entirely confident himself.

But as the highest-ranking officer left in command, he couldn’t afford to show weakness.

Even if their chances were slim, he had to maintain their morale.

It their troops lost hope before the battle even began, then they would already be defeated.

"That’s true. Even the general said that our two benefactors possess unimaginable abilities. The aliens are no match for them. What if he really has a way to save us?" A few soldiers allowed themselves a glimmer of hope.

At the same time, Amalia instantly teleported from the hall to a dense, overgrown area in Teutonia’s wilderness.

With this single move, she had crossed nearly half of Teutonia.

This ancient forest was perhaps the only place on Teutonia that still retained its original landscape.

Truthfully, she wasn’t entirely sure if her plan would work.

However, the planet had already granted her so much life force before—this indicated that its will was far stronger than any she had encountered before.

If she could convince it to cooperate with her, she had an eighty percent chance of leading the remaining soldiers to resist the alien invasion.

A powerful wave of divine sense instantly spread outward, expanding rapidly until it enveloped the entire forest.

The world above and below fell into a deep silence.

Her awareness reached out, searching for a way to communicate with the planet’s will.

Meanwhile, just a few light-years away from Teutonia, an enormous battleship was moving through space.
