High up in the sky, in the central control room of the ten Planetary Federation military battleships.
The white-robed man, Bai Shili, was staring at the big screen in front of him with a gloomy expression.
What was displayed on the screen was the situation of the black star below. The surface of the entire star was now covered in dust, but the star cannons of the ten battleships were still firing at the same time. It was estimated that the ground below had been completely plowed, but the distance from completely blasting the entire star into cosmic dust was still far away.
More importantly, even if they could do that, the energy consumption of the ten battleships would not be able to keep up.
The energy beams of the star cannons did not shoot out of thin air. Every shot represented a large amount of the planet's core source energy.
Although Bai Shili's grandfather, Bai Zhengjun, was the Governor of the Heavenly River Star, there was another big shot on the Heavenly River Star. That was the commander-in-chief of the Tian Chen Empire's military stationed there, a Major General named Zhao Long.
The Wan Luo Federation was huge. The Immortal Dynasty of the science and technology faction and the Ten Jue Celestial Palace of the cultivation faction each occupied half of the territory of Universe 3.
There were three large empires and hundreds of small countries under the Immortal Dynasty. Tianchen Nation was a small country under one of the empires.
The Heavenly River Star, on the other hand, was just an administrative planet in the star field controlled by the Heavenly Dust Nation.
The reason why Bai Zhengjun could become the leader of a planet on Planet Tianhe was because he had a good son, Bai Shili's father. This person held a position on the capital planet of Tianchen Nation.
Even so, Bai Zhengjun was not the only one who had the final say on Planet Tianhe. The Federation system had always been separated between the military and government. Bai Zhengjun was the administrative leader, while Zhao Long was the military's leader on Planet Tianhe.
Zhao Long's family was also on the capital planet of Tianchen Nation. He had a strong background and did not seem to get along with Bai Shili's father.
Hence, Bai Zhengjun and Zhao Long only seemed to be harmonious on the surface!
However, although the military power was in Zhao Long's hands, as the leader of a planet, Bai Zhengjun had the right to deploy some battleships as guards. The total amount of battleships he could deploy was 50 planetary states and three star states.
The 10 ships that Bai Shili brought out were part of the 50 planetary ships allocated to Bai Zhengjun by the Sky River Planet's military.
Even though these warships were for Bai Zhengjun to use, they were still part of the military. If they used up too much energy, even Bai Zhengjun would not be able to explain himself, let alone Bai Shili. Zhao Long would most likely take the opportunity to make things difficult for him!
Therefore, even if these ten battleships had the ability to completely destroy the enormous planet below, Bai Shili did not dare to expend so much energy. Furthermore, it was very difficult to do so with ten Star Cannons firing at the same time.
"That brat definitely won't dare to show his face. He should be hiding in the depths of the planet. Maybe he has already been crushed into meat paste by the collapsed rocks."
Gritting his teeth, Bai Shili continued in a deep voice, "Give the order. Once the Star Cannons are done firing, dispatch ten small landing ships. This Young Master will personally go down and find that brat's body. I hope that the Starry Sky Devouring Beast is fine."
The row of officers standing behind had been anxious for a long time. When they heard that they no longer needed to expend energy, they looked at each other and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they felt that it was a little too risky to let Bai Shili personally go down to search, in order to prevent this guy from staying in the central control room, if the order was given again, they would not be able to explain themselves when they returned …
As such, they hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
Ten small landing ships quickly flew out from the central flagship's rear cabin and headed towards the planet below.
Bai Shili was in the cabin of one of the spaceships.
These small landing ships were about the same size as Ye Xuan's Spirit Concealment Shuttle. They were both a dozen meters wide and a few dozen meters long. However, although they had attack systems, they did not have energy shields.
As for the concealment array engraved on the ship's body, that was even more out of the question.
Moreover, their attack systems were not very powerful. At least, they did not have the two Star Cannons installed on the Spirit Concealment Shuttle.
Therefore, no matter how one compared them, these ten small landing ships were far inferior to Ye Xuan's Spirit Concealment Shuttle. If Bai Shili had known that Ye Xuan actually had such a perfect all-around warship, he definitely would not have dared to leave the central flagship so easily.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world. This also meant that Bai Shili was destined to never return from this trip!
…
On the planet's surface, in the deepest part of the thick and dry trench.
Baldy Xu, Lilith, Hong Wu, and the rest of the thirteen were currently holed up in a natural rock cave deep in the trench with bitter expressions.
The inexplicable disappearance of the God of Fortune cast the entire team into a dark cloud.
Although the other twelve people, such as Lilith and Hong Wu, each had a small warship, they were far inferior to Baldy Xu's God of Fortune.
Not to mention the weapon systems, their private warships did not even have energy shields. In the face of this kind of bombardment from the Star Cannons, they would die if they ventured out!
At this moment, as the bombardment of the Star Cannons stopped, the entire enormous planet became quiet.
Lilith raised her head and glanced in the direction of the entrance of the cave. She said suspiciously, "The commotion outside seems to have stopped. Did that White Scoundrel leave?"
"That's impossible! It's not like you don't know how precious the Universe Devourer is. Not to mention the matter of face, White Scoundrel would never give up so easily just to take back this beast. "
The bald man shook his head slowly, with bad luck all over his face. "If my guess is correct, they must've sent a small landing ship to search for him. After such a long bombardment, the surface of the entire planet must've been plowed. Nobody can guarantee that the wretched space pirate is not dead yet."
"I don't think so. Boss, the strange disappearance of your God of Fortune is most likely the work of that space pirate. That guy is too evil!"
On the side, Hong Wu took over the conversation. At the same time, a perplexed look appeared on his face. "However, it's one thing to lose the Star Core Origins, but now even the God of Fortune has mysteriously disappeared. Could that Universe Devourer be able to directly devour a warship? I've never heard of it! "
"Now is not the time to think about these things …"
Baldy Xu waved his hand and sighed again. "The landing ship sent by White Scoundrel will find us very soon. By then, he will most likely kill us. Therefore, even if this cave does not collapse, we can't stay any longer. Now that the bombardment has temporarily stopped, it should have been the best opportunity to escape, but the God of Fortune has been lost. Not to mention the energy shield, none of your private warships are fast enough to catch my eyes. There is no way you can escape the pursuit of the ten planetary warships. It seems that we are really doomed this time!"
"In fact, you do have one last chance!"
