CHAPTER 22

"No news circulating about an attack on Hexa, Lily." Queen Renoa looked at Lia worriedly, thinking that this was just her daughter's hallucination due to the effects of the one-sided attack she got from Hexa. "Are you sure about your vision?"

"Megalack's soul went to Hexa, Mother," said Lia, clenching her fists while watching the galaxy news channel. "And he saw Hexa's shattered condition."

"But if it is that bad, then shouldn't Hexa ask the other planets for help?"

Lia was silent, unable to answer anything. The Megalack that was swirling inside her body also looked restless.

Meanwhile, Mysty suddenly raised her hand in the air, interrupting politely. After Queen Renoa invited her to speak, she mumbled, "I know the reason Hexa doesn't ask anyone for help, Your Majesty."

"You?" Queen Renoa frowned. "How did you do that?"

"It's a very long story, Mother," whispered Lia pleading. "But please listen to her. She has very strong evidence."

Despite her doubts, Queen Renoa agreed to it. "Alright, tell me what you know!"

Nervous, Mysty raised her head to start explaining, "Hexa thinks this is an internal matter since the Qobra Clan is part of them, even though the Qobra Clan has been expelled. The attack that is happening now they think comes from within Hexa. They thought that the Qobra Clan was hiding in one of the hidden areas in Hexa, then launched a sneak attack. Therefore, asking for help from other planets is considered unethical.

Besides that, they are very confident that they can beat the Qobra Clan at this time because they used to do it before."

"Then why did they lose this time?" Lia asked Mysty, urgently.

"Because the Qobra Clan has more troops that come from the galaxy. They were completely out of Hexa after being expelled, but they were still gathering ways to destroy and seize Hexa. They have recruited several of the pirate races in the galaxy, who are now gathering to attack Hexa.

The only reason why they were able to enter Hexa was because of the protective layer of Hexa's atmosphere that was shattered by an impact. Looks like it coincided with you visiting it."

Lia pouted, remembering the time Prince Aerus pushed her when they kissed. At that time Megalack did expend enormous energy to protect her. "Is it because of that?" she whispered, then recalled how chaos had been in Hexa back then. Even some babies were dying, and many places were blown up.

Looking up, her eyes trembled to look at Queen Renoa. "Mother, this is all my fault! I've broken the barrier on Hexa. I made Aerus angry that he had to attack me. Meanwhile, Megalack was just doing his duty, to keep protecting me. The impact was too strong, even Mother knows it right?"

Queen Renoa grimaced restlessly. Her brain waves penetrated various spaces and layers of energy to see her husband still meditating. Right now she can't talk to him, right now she has to decide this on her own. "But what if something bad happens to you, Lily? We don't want to lose you for the third time. We don't want to harm you anymore."

"I will be in harm if Aerus gets hurt, Mother." Lia looked very sure. "So please..."

…

BOOM!

"Shoot again! Shoot more!" Prince Aerus swooped down while almost crashing into a mountain of immense energy. He drove a Sharpex with modifications for war.

Hexodar's condition was still quite safe, although the protective field had been destroyed in many places. The gathered nobles increased their strength now and then, but when the galactic pirates attacked them, their bodies would bounce and bleed.

"Just give up, my nephew Aerus!" There was a booming sound from the air filled with thick smoke. Everything was gloomy, the sky could no longer be seen. "Leave Hexa to us and you will be safe. We are the rightful successors to rule Hexa because this is the land of our ancestors (Only Clan Qobra)."

"Hexa is the land of all of us' ancestors!" shouted Prince Aerus, hovering in the air, looking at the outer area of ​​the energy ball that protected him. There were more than a dozen galactic planes with black fins, floating in front of him. "We have the right to live here in peace, without having to serve you as if we were slaves!"

"You guys are mixed-race!" shouted King Artesun, "who doesn't even have the purity to rule over Hexa. We accept you because you are part of us. But we know there is a snake brain that is very cunning in the genes in your body."

The Qobra Clan leader swung his staff in his hand, sending King Artesun flying far away and hurting him. "Stop talking nonsense, Cousin Artesun! You're just one of those useless aristocrats. If you weren't matched with Lunanis, then you wouldn't be in this place. But unfortunately, Lunanis can't do much." He glanced sharply at Queen Lunanis, who was now lying down and unconscious.

More Sharpex appeared, who was now escorting Prince Aerus behind. They were led by Prince Phoko.

The Qobra Clan Leader raised an eyebrow. His bald head looked shiny as if it had scales. "Phoko! Can't you see the future? We thought you were our biggest problem. But now I'm sure you won't be a danger anymore since your abilities are no longer functional."

Prince Aerus turned to Prince Phoko, who looked silent and growled.

"Let's fight!" shouted Prince Phoko gallantly. "If you want to snatch Hexa, then shut up your foaming mouth!" He squinted. "Or you guys don't have enough strength?" He pointed at the end of Hexa's palace, which had a very beautiful hexagon stone. "If you succeed in breaking the stone, then the ancestors in Hexa will worship you. But I bet you won't make it through the lines we drew."

Prince Phoko closed his eyes. Then from the sky descended a very heavy light, which blocked the enemies.

It made the Qobra Clan Leader growl. With clenched fists, he shouted at the entire army of him, "Attack!"

There was another explosion, louder than usual. Several troops were assigned to attack the other side of the energy ball created by Prince Phoko. They wanted to destroy the hexagon stone at the top of the Hexa palace.

Fierce battle. Many planes pass by to attack. Blood gushed, bodies exploded, and flesh splattered.

Prince Bealdric was still hidden somewhere, now suppressed by the energy that was attacking from all directions.

Destroyed! Everything was in chaos! Until the last explosion finally managed to break the main barrier, making the Qobra Clan Leader breakthrough and managed to destroy Prince Aerus' Sharpex.

The prince fell and collapsed on the ground, while the Qobra Clan Leader appeared with his feet floating in the air, stepping on the black disk. He immediately threw out a fist that emitted extremely dense energy, then smashed into Prince Aerus' body to shreds!

"Hahaha! Your leader is dead! We have defeated you!" He stared intently at the top of the Hexodar palace, exploding more energy amidst the extremely thick smoke. Then he grabbed the hexagon stone, ready to destroy it.

But before that happened, the whir of strange planes rumbled around him. When he turned his head, he saw a very bright explosion of light aimed at him, penetrating his body to make him bounce.

"Queen Ethelia!" shouted one of the nobles, including Prince Aerus, whose body gradually improved after Prince Phoko drank something from him.

Lia got out of her plane, with a body that floated without using any footing. Her Latherite Stick glowed very brightly, while the crown on her head unleashed more thorns of light to kill all troops attacking Hexodar.

She hovered, drawing closer to the Qobra Clan Leader, who was currently wide-eyed knowing something.

"A queen from another planet shouldn't interfere," he squeaked.

She tilted her head. "A group of people who have been expelled for their heinous deeds should not come again."

They raised their fists, ready for battle.
