"You bastard!" Belche finally recognized the true nature of Bel I. Looking at his mocking face, he cursed, "Don't let me see you again, or I will definitely make you suffer a thousand cuts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Martians' mechs began bombarding the Command Center on Capricorn Planet. The buildings on the ground were all blown to rubble by nuclear bombs. The Command Center was shaken to the point of almost being lifted into the air by the sound of missiles and nuclear bombs, instilling fear in everyone.
Bel IV was terrified and kept urging the king beside him, "Your Majesty... we should escape quickly. If we don't leave now... it will be too late, and we will die here..."
Belche had fewer soldiers he could command now. To be honest, the remaining personnel in the Command Center were the last ones he somewhat trusted, so he dared not run around recklessly, treating the Command Center as his final refuge. Therefore, when Bel IV spoke up, it made Belche uncomfortable; it felt like a deliberate attempt to lead him astray...
Belche was already furious at Bel I for betraying him and could hardly trust his brother, no matter how much he nagged. Gritting his teeth, he signaled to an officer beside him, who quickly called two soldiers into the Control Room. Before Bel IV could react, he was subdued by the soldiers.
Bound and dragged out, Bel IV screamed, "Your Majesty!... Spare me! I am loyal to you... You can't treat me like this!... Your Majesty..."
Belche sneered, "Hmph, if I hear your nonsense again, I might lose my life. You two brothers are nothing but traitors!"

Kairuot stopped his mech on the lawn of the ruined palace under Bel I's navigation map. He ordered that all but one heavy mech remain behind while the rest of the troops mobilized. Fair Connie and Xiaoli also joined the battle.
All entrances to the Command Center on Capricorn Planet were blocked due to collapsing buildings from nuclear bomb strikes, making them inaccessible. Kairuot marked a path on the navigation map and used high-intensity nuclear bombs to blast a large hole in the ground.
Kairuot led everyone through the blasted hole into a dark passageway.
The secret passage leading to the Command Center is quite complex, resembling a maze. Although Bel I is the High Advisor of Belche King, Belche has never brought him to the Command Center, so the navigation map does not clearly indicate the terrain. Once everyone enters this dark maze, they can only rely on themselves to search separately.
Naturally, Belche has set traps in the passage, remote-controlled Nuclear Bombs, and arranged special forces to ambush at key locations. The Martian Soldiers pay a heavy price for every step they take.
Belche watches all of this on the screen, a smug smile appearing on his face. He hopes to use the barriers he has set up to trap the Martians in the passage, buying time until his fleet arrives. Then he plans to launch a two-pronged attack to carve out a bloody path for himself to escape Capricorn Planet and return to his fleet base.
However, after incurring some losses, Kairuot does not continue forward. He receives another navigation map from Bel I, which shows the traps, mechanisms, explosive points, and ambush locations in the passage. After reviewing it, Kairuot says, "There are too many traps and mechanisms in this passage. If we push through, we will suffer too many casualties. We can only retreat and look for another breakthrough point."
Upon receiving the order, the Martian troops quickly withdraw from the passage. This sudden change leaves Belche feeling very frustrated as he can no longer monitor what Kairuot is doing on the surface due to interrupted surveillance; he can only wait anxiously.
Returning to Kairuot's side, not long ago he had been to the Command Center and entered smoothly without anticipating traps or mechanisms. Now seeing many of his brothers harmed by traps set by Belche naturally makes him grit his teeth in anger. He immediately intensifies preparations, vowing that Belche will pay for his blood debts.
Thus, back on the surface, Kairuot uses the new navigation map along with his earlier memories to diligently search for the corresponding location of the Command Center.
They swiftly navigate through houses destroyed by Nuclear Bombs, broken walls, and pockmarked streets until they finally stop by an exquisite artificial pond. He notices that while surrounding buildings have been destroyed by Nuclear Bombs, this pond remains intact. Combining all information, he points at the pond and says, "I feel that beneath this pond is the Command Center of Capricorn Planet."
"Really?" Xiaoli says skeptically. "Such a large pond could actually be considered an artificial lake. If it were filled with water and leaked even slightly, everything below would be submerged. The Capricornian design seems quite illogical."
Fair Connie responds, "The Capricornian have made many illogical designs; this is not just one instance."
Kairuot nods and continues, "Such an important strategic location would not be casually deployed. I believe this structure must be very solid; an ordinary Nuclear Bomb cannot destroy this artificial pond; only a High-Energy Nuclear Bomb Timer would be effective."
To verify his statement, Kairuot drops two ordinary Nuclear Bombs as a test. Indeed, the lake water erupts into waves but settles back down afterward; the entire pond remains intact.
Kairuot immediately removed the two High-Energy Nuclear Bomb Timers he had on him and jumped into the artificial pool, which was over ten meters deep. He found a spot to place the Nuclear Bomb and then returned to the shore, urging everyone to stay away from the Nuclear Bomb and move to a safe location to wait for the timed explosion.
With two thunderous explosions, the artificial pool erupted, sending water columns soaring dozens of meters high. The High-Energy Nuclear Bomb Timer indeed proved its power, creating a massive hole at the bottom of the pool. The entire pool's water rushed underground into Capricorn Planet, flooding the entire underground passage. Although the Capricornians had preventive measures in place and diverted some of the water, most of it still surged into the Command Center.
A large volume of water flooded in, soaking all the equipment in the Command Center, causing severe damage that rendered it unusable. The soldiers in the Command Center, who could not escape, drowned, resulting in heavy casualties. These soldiers were the most loyal Homo Sapiens to Belche, following him through countless battles and supporting him in seizing the throne. Watching them struggle in the water and ultimately perish left Belche powerless.
The incoming water plunged the Control Room into darkness. Belche swam aimlessly in the water, feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency to find an exit and escape. He could not endure being submerged for such a long time.
Fortunately, after several hours, the water gradually receded through drainage facilities in the Command Center. After some time, Belche finally managed to lift his head above water to breathe. At that moment, he was relieved to see several officers swimming toward him; it was evident they had better skills and could hold their breath for several hours.
Belche quickly asked, "How many soldiers do we have left?"
One of them replied, "All our soldiers have drowned; only five of us remain."
Belche gritted his teeth and cursed, "You bastard Kairuot, I will make you pay for this blood debt tenfold!"
At that moment, the Wristband on Belche's wrist began to flash. He saw a Signal displayed on the Wristband and told the five officers, "Our rescue ship has arrived and is near the planet; they are preparing to send a Fleet to get us out of here. Let's go wait for them at the royal palace."
Thus, led by the five officers, they waded through waist-deep water along the dark passage toward the direction of the royal palace.
