Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1488: 4: A Young Heart

Having faced the brink of death, she suddenly found that demise was not the unbearable terror she had once envisioned.

What she truly yearned for were those cherished, beautiful moments.

Though isolated on this planet, surrounded by a community of kind souls, she still felt an inexplicable sense of solitude...

I possess strength now; I can stand on my own. Yet, I will never have the chance to see you again.

A young girl’s mind conjures the image of a face that perpetually held the most radiant smile, regardless of the circumstances.

…That silhouette, not imposing in stature, yet profoundly grand.

“Sister, Teacher Sister, you seemed lost in contemplation just now.” The young girl Philia gently tugged on the woman’s arm.

Wang Nuonuo’s eyes fluttered, and the fleeting vision vanished.

The cacophony of the beast tide surging before them and the roars echoing in her ears returned with renewed intensity.

“I was merely pondering something. Come, everyone, follow me. We must proceed to reinforce the battlements along the wall.”

The young woman offered her students a warm, reassuring smile that instantly resonated with their young hearts.

[I truly adore Teacher’s smile.]

The shadows of sorrow within the children’s hearts were instantly dispelled.

“Okay!”

In the swift ebb and flow of emotions, children are remarkably resilient.

As Wang Nuonuo stepped forward, the children displayed immense enthusiasm for the impending battle.

Nuonuo swiftly cast aside her thoughts, personally taking a hand in setting up defensive traps.

Boom!

Roar!

“—Slay them!”

Resounding battle cries continued to emanate from the forefront.

The warriors, armed with naught but their own physiques and rudimentary weaponry, astonishingly held their ground against the relentless onslaught of the beast tide.

Gazing down from the heavens, the vast, surging horde of beasts gradually began to divide, pushing towards both flanks.

The mountainous accumulation of fallen creatures finally instilled a sense of dread within the beast herd.

In a mere ten minutes, over twenty members of the White Armor Clan had fallen in combat.

Every warrior who perished did so from sheer exhaustion.

Isaiah and Alva, their bodies drenched in blood, stood resolute like twin steel pillars anchored to the earth, refusing to yield a single inch!

Their bone-forged armaments, subjected to such high-intensity combat, showed absolutely no signs of wear or damage.

“Alva, only a Child of the Starry Sky is truly worthy of Teacher Wang,” the lion-like warrior declared with a grin towards the youth beside him.

“Haha, Uncle Isaiah, I am indeed the Child of the Starry Sky of the White Armor Clan,” Alva responded nonchalantly, surging forward with renewed vigor.

A formidable, single-horned rhinoceros charged forward, colliding with his bone shield, only to be instantaneously repelled by the young warrior’s might.

“Once this wave of fighting concludes, I shall intercede with Teacher Wang on your behalf. Perhaps you should truly seize this opportune moment.”

“What is it, Uncle Isaiah?”

The two individuals engaged in conversation even amidst the fierce fighting.

“The Red Stone Clan has dispatched emissaries; somehow, they became aware of our tribe’s Teacher Wang… They are actually proposing to exchange territory for her!”

Boom!

At that precise moment, Alva’s eyes turned a furious shade of crimson; with a single, powerful swing of his axe, he cleaved the approaching rhinoceros directly in two.

He stood panting heavily, radiating an aura of pure menace.

“Those cowards from the Red Stone Clan, what right do they possess to be deemed worthy of our Goddess! Where are they!?” Alva, his bloodlust palpable, scanned his surroundings.

However, all that greeted his gaze was the thundering mass of beasts, requiring him to periodically lash out at the creatures recklessly charging in his direction.

“Just as we were preparing to act, the beast tide erupted. Damn Basham, the next time I encounter him, I shall tear him limb from limb!”

“The Red Stone Clan, you say! Do they presume to hold dominion over the White Armor Clan?”

“Once we have successfully navigated through this beast tide, Alva, dispatch units to bolster our patrols. Those Red Stone curs will not abandon their intentions so easily.”

“Should any trespass upon our White Armor territory, I shall make them experience the bite of my axe,” Alva proclaimed with impassioned fervor, his gaze fixed on an approaching colossal ape, standing over twenty meters tall. Instead of retreating, Alva charged forward.

His colossal axe sliced through the air, burying itself within the giant ape’s skull, carrying Alva along with it.

A torrent of blood erupted skyward like a geyser.

Upon landing, Alva let loose a primal, beast-like roar.

The entirety of the White Armor Tribe was instantly galvanized by his cry.

This untamed planet, rife with wilderness and unknown dangers, harbored an endless array of species and perils.

Within the boundless expanse of the universe, such a world appeared utterly insignificant.

Yet, the spirit of youth and passion never faltered.

……

In the immensity of the cosmos, it is only upon experiencing it firsthand that one truly comprehends their own minuscule existence.

Exploiting the prevailing chaos on Capital Star, the Revolution Army solidified its hold over the third and fourth Star Districts, transforming them into unbreachable fortresses.

A solitary warship, its bow sharpened like a blade and its hull as black as the deepest night, stealthily glided through the desolate shipping lanes.

Debris drifting haphazardly was vaporized into brilliant sparks while still a hundred meters from the vessel.

“Gu is truly remarkable; observe that route, approximately six thousand kilometers away. This is footage captured by our spy satellite,” proclaimed Young Master Yin, adorned in an ostentatiously flamboyant black military uniform.

The uniform bore the embroidered insignia of a roaring, winged dragon.

Upon closer examination…

It bore a striking resemblance to Shadow Island’s revered national treasure: the pet known as [Evil Wing].

This draconic depiction, however, lacked the inherent adorableness of [Evil Wing], instead amplifying its imposing majesty twofold.

Consequently, when White Hair eschewed his usual flamboyance, he presented an exceptionally handsome figure.

“Take a look at those escort vessels; dual Level-Six warships are maintaining their distance from that merchant convoy in a constant patrol…”

“Gu is quite stingy, only deploying two warships. If he had known we were departing, would he have sent more? Hahaha.”

Fatty Harry cut off White Hair’s discourse with a blunt remark.

“Fool! Last year, that particular route was a defunct lane. These two warships only patrol a five-thousand-kilometer stretch before turning back. What does that fact signify to you?”

“Signify what?” the fatty inquired, showing complete attentiveness.

“It signifies that the Revolutionary Army’s support for commerce and the maintenance of order surpasses even the Federation of historical times! For any merchant, there is no greater reassurance than a tranquil and stable trade environment. This young man possesses a genuine talent,” White Hair exclaimed with admiration.

“Nonsense! I believe anyone capable of engaging in a brawl on Capital Star demonstrates talent,” the fatty asserted his viewpoint with conviction.

Not far from their location, Li Xiaoxi and William exchanged a look of shared helplessness, continuing their silent vigil gazing outward at the astonishingly beautiful, twinkling expanse of stars…

Upon the warship’s bridge, on the uppermost deck.

A figure, tall and slender, stood in quiet contemplation beside the expansive floor-to-ceiling window.

Mu Fan’s mature aura, characterized by his tranquil gaze and sharply defined jawline, consistently captivated observers.

A woman’s elegant form gracefully approached the silhouette from behind.

A subtle tremor passed through Mu Fan’s eyes as he detected the soft sound of footsteps drawing near.

“You should not have come.”

“You brought me out; how could you possibly leave me behind again?”

Her voice, cool and measured, provided the response, and her eyes, luminous like clear water, appeared beside Mu Fan.

A hint of rare displeasure flickered within their depths.
