“I am Earth’s Lord Luo Feng. Earth does not welcome you,” Luo Feng said directly, not giving Pula a chance to speak during the video connection.
“We are a trade delegation from the Silverblue Empire. We arrived here by accidentally entering a wormhole. We hope to dock on Earth and receive supplies. Rest assured, we will pay sufficient fees and will leave immediately after resupply,” Pula said earnestly, his tone filled with sincerity.
“What kind of trade delegation consists entirely of Astral Rank experts? Earth does not welcome you. Leave immediately, or I will contact the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to dispatch an army to conquer you,” Luo Feng said sternly.
Pula’s expression turned very ugly when he heard Luo Feng’s words.
“Hmph, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!” Pula stopped pretending at this moment. “Atuka, open the hatch! Everyone attack Earth!”
The 100 elite Nolan Guards gave Pula great confidence, and he gave the order to attack. In his view, 100 Astral Rank experts, once they entered Earth, would be able to quickly complete the mission and withdraw. By then, even if the Black Dragon Mountain Empire received the news and came, he would have already left.
Similarly, Qin Hao and Luo Feng also knew that even if they reported it to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, it would be handled, but the process would take a very long time. By then, it would be hard to say what Earth would become. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire’s backing was more of a deterrent; if they truly waited for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to handle it, it would be too late.
Therefore, Qin Hao had activated the planetary defense system before the communication.
“Prepare to attack!” When Qin Hao saw the spaceship hatch open in outer space and Astral Rank individuals appearing one by one, he immediately told Gu Lao.
At the same time, the orbital cannons outside Earth began to rapidly gather energy. After half a minute of energy convergence, powerful beams of light shot rapidly towards the location of Puka and the others.
With just the first strike, among the powerful team of hundreds of people, one-third died directly, one-half were injured, and only a small portion remained unharmed because they dodged in time.
At the same time, many attacks directly hit the spaceship. The ship’s defenses had not even had time to activate, and it had already sustained considerable damage.
“Retreat quickly!” Puka and the others dared not be negligent in the slightest and rapidly fled in the opposite direction from Earth. They had initially thought the planetary defense system posed no threat, but it had unexpectedly unleashed such powerful force, capable of directly annihilating Astral Rank individuals.
“This defense system is definitely C-class or above. We must quickly inform the ancestor of the family and have a Universe Rank from the family come,” Puka said after escaping the attack range, not daring to delay in the slightest. He quickly contacted Dewen·Norland Mountain, the second-generation patriarch of the Nolan Mountain Family.
“Pula, how is the ancestor’s mission progressing?” Before Pula could speak, Dewen·Norland Mountain asked first.
“Patriarch, Earth has a C-class planetary defense system. We suffered heavy losses, with one-third of our people dead,” Pula reported cautiously.
“What? One-third of your people lost, and you haven’t even entered Earth?” Dewen·Norland Mountain shouted furiously. “How could Earth possibly have a C-class planetary defense system?”
“You all hide first. I will report to the ancestor,” Dewen·Norland Mountain said before ending the communication and quickly heading towards the main ship’s location.
“Bai Kaluo, where is the ancestor?” Upon entering the main ship, Dewen·Norland Mountain asked Bai Kaluo. Although he was the second-generation patriarch of the Nolan Mountain Family, his position within the family was not higher than Bai Kaluo’s. As the most talented disciple of Nolan Mountain, Bai Kaluo also held a very high status.
After all, in the universe, the master-disciple relationship is one of the most reliable relationships, even surpassing family ties.
“Come with me,” Bai Kaluo said, leading Dewen·Norland Mountain into the room.
“Teacher, Dewen is here.”
“Hmm, Dewen, what is it?” Nolan Mountain asked coldly.
“Ancestor, Puka sent word that Earth possesses a C-class planetary defense system, and we lost one-third of our elites,” Dewen·Norland Mountain said cautiously, keeping his head bowed the entire time, not daring to look at Nolan Mountain’s expression.
“A small, aboriginal planet actually has a C-class planetary defense system. It seems this Earth is not simple,” Nolan Mountain said, while also growing more curious about the legacy on Earth. The first time he went to the universe, he purchased the sovereignty of Earth, and it even had a planetary defense system. Everything about Earth seemed extraordinary.
“Bai Kaluo, Dewen, you two personally lead the team. Remember, remember, your primary objective when you go to Earth is… to obtain the Automaton Race spaceship! Once you get the Automaton Race spaceship, look for an opportunity to capture that Qin Hao on Earth,” Nolan Mountain said solemnly.
“Yes, Ancestor (Teacher),” Dewen and Bai Kaluo said respectfully.
“They’re finally gone. Earth is safe,” Luo Feng said, sighing in relief as he looked at the destroyed spaceship in outer space and the fleeing Astral Rank individuals.
“Safe? Not necessarily,” Qin Hao shook his head and said, “They clearly came with a purpose. 100 Astral Rank elites—they must be from some cosmic power. The matter is not yet over.”
“Then what should we do? The first time it was 100 Astral Rank individuals, so they must have Universe Rank experts behind them,” Luo Feng said after hearing Qin Hao’s analysis.
“Notify Hong and Thunder God to prepare. The current planetary defense system can withstand Territory Lord Rank attacks, but its offensive power is insufficient. If stronger Universe Rank individuals come, it will still be very dangerous.”
Qin Hao also had limited options regarding the planetary defense system. The current planetary defense system was already the best he could buy; a more advanced one would take time. Qin Hao had originally planned to bid for a stronger one at the Ganwu Universe Country auction, but he hadn’t expected to encounter the current situation.
“Luo Feng, what happened just now?” As Qin Hao and Luo Feng were talking, the door was pushed open, and Hong and Thunder God walked in, followed by Luo Feng’s father, Luo Hongguo. After Hong and Thunder God entered, Luo Hongguo also left directly.
“An alien spaceship wanted to enter Earth and was destroyed by the planetary defense system. Qin Hao said it might be an alien force trying to invade Earth,” Luo Feng briefly explained the situation.
“Don’t worry too much. With the planetary defense system in place, they cannot enter Earth. If it’s only Universe Rank, both the Golden-Horned Beast and I can handle them,” Qin Hao said, observing the serious atmosphere among the Three God Ancestors. “Luo Feng, quickly let the Golden-Horned Beast break through to Universe Rank during this period. By then, you should also be able to touch upon the laws faster. A Golden-Horned Beast that comprehends laws can run rampant even at the Universe Rank.”
