158: Chapter 158 The Prince's Loss of Composure

"My Prince, our soldiers are in there too. If we release the Giant Beetle in the narrow corridor, I'm afraid our warriors will be torn to shreds first."

Prince Kela 7 showed no expression upon hearing this and continued to issue his order:

"Release the Giant Beetle."

The messenger had no way to refuse the Prince's command and had no choice but to press the button.

The cage forged from flesh and blood quickly disconnected, and a giant red alien was pushed into the narrow corridor.

Appearing before the Giant Beetle were not Xia Xingchen's soldiers, but the warriors of the Lux Civilization themselves. However, in the Giant Beetle's perception, all living things were enemies, including its own kind.

The Giant Beetle swung the bone blades on its feet, reaping the lives of dozens of Lux Aliens warriors in an instant.

Seeing this, even the battle-hardened Star Guards were stunned.

What was going on with the enemy? Why were they attacking their own people first?

However, the Star Guards were only stunned for a moment before they immediately aimed their hellguns and laser guns at the giant alien and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

After slaughtering the kin before it, the Giant Beetle let out a hiss. Green blood splattered all over its body, making its bright red carapace appear even more striking against the green blood.

It roared and lunged toward the Star Guards.

The Star Guards did not panic in the slightest and quickly formed a formation.

The soldiers holding hellguns raised their weapons and aimed precisely at the Giant Beetle's head.

Aiming and pulling the triggers, just two searing rays instantly pierced through the Giant Beetle's head.

Its corpse, carried by momentum, crashed straight to the feet of the Star Guards.

The Star Guard company Commander waved his hand, and the entire squad continued to advance toward the command room.

Prince Kela 7 was completely dumbfounded seeing this; he had not expected the ultimate weapon he had pinned his hopes on to be so vulnerable.

Seeing the human troops continuously approaching the warship's main control room, Prince Kela 7 completely panicked.

"Deploy everyone to stop them immediately! Stop this group of humans at all costs! You absolutely cannot let them get near me!"

Prince Kela 7 roared the order at the messenger beside him.

The next second, all the main elites on the warship were mobilized, surging madly toward the bridge.

Just then, the warship Commander suggested to the Prince:

"Your Highness, our forces are too few. Relying solely on the troops on the ship, we cannot stop the human elites."

Before he could finish speaking, Prince Kela 7 lashed out:

"I know! I know all of that! But what can I do right now?"

Watching the Prince on the verge of a breakdown, the Commander offered a solution:

"We can detach the entire compartment where the human troops are located, eject it directly into space, and then we can immediately withdraw from the battle."

After all, the battle situation outside was also not optimistic. The dream star's strength was too overwhelming; even the battleship Prince Kela 7 was currently on was no match for it.

Prince Kela 7 pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Detaching a compartment would cause immense damage to the warship, requiring significant resources and manpower to repair later.

But this thought lingered in his mind for only a few seconds before another thought took the upper hand.

But my life is more important.

I, Prince Kela 7, the seventh prince of the Lux Civilization, what could be more important than my life?

"Detach the compartment immediately!"

The Commander nodded and agreed immediately upon hearing this.

He didn't think too much about it; judging purely from the battle situation, holding on was meaningless, and withdrawing from the battle was the correct choice.

On the other side, the Star Guards were walking on a floor fused with steel and flesh. Just as they were about to push open a door forged from flesh, the entire warship suddenly shook violently.

The soldiers initially thought it was an external attack, but soon discovered the source of the tremor was internal.

The Star Guards immediately assumed a defensive posture, vigilant against any enemy ambush.

Immediately following, the sound of flesh tearing reached their ears, which was bone-chilling.

The next second, a sensation of weightlessness suddenly struck.

The soldiers then realized what was happening.

The compartment they were in was being detached from the main body of the alien warship.

Almost simultaneously, the dream star reacted quickly.

The Star Guard company Commander grabbed a flesh-covered handrail nearby and connected communication with the dream star.

After explaining the situation, the dream star immediately abandoned the pursuit of the alien battleship.

A tractor beam precisely locked onto the compartment, which looked like a giant flesh capsule, and slowly pulled it into the warship's cargo hold.

The reason they dared to operate calmly in space was that the surrounding Lux Aliens warships had already tucked their tails and fled, and all aliens had withdrawn from the Vanad System.

The alien warships lacked Warp engines and could only rely on a gliding-like method, darting rapidly like water droplets toward the neighboring system they controlled.

The Tech-Priest looked at the giant flesh capsule before him, immediately took out a cutter, and carefully cut it open completely.

Just after cutting an opening, the Tech-Priest was somewhat surprised.

Not a single Star Guard inside was injured.

The Tech-Priest looked at the soldiers in the compartment and spoke in a synthesized mechanical voice:

"My logic calculation engine indicated that your survival probability did not exceed 30%."

"You are very lucky."

After saying this, he widened the opening to make it easier for the Star Guards to walk out.
