"All troops, listen to my orders! Fire with everything you've got!"
The battle began once again, but there was no sound in outer space.
However, the creatures in battle could always hear the echoes. Sometimes, it was the voices they imagined, while other times, it was the cries of their companions.
Perhaps … this was the final battle.
That was indeed the case for the Primordial realm.
If they lost the battle, their race, world, and civilisation would be destroyed. Everything would vanish. As a result, they would use their full strength in the final moment.
Countless crystallized armies spread out like a huge net. Their numbers made them seem as dense as the starry sky. Although they were still very far away, the crystallized armies no longer advanced.
Compared to the crystallized armies, the swarm of insects was much denser. They still formed a huge mass like smoke, while the newly joined armies, the emerald dragons and skeletal dragons, were in the middle of the swarm.
Their purpose was to provide firepower, not to lead the charge. In reality … there was only one thing that could lead the charge in this battle.
"Fire!"
Under Blood Mist's command, the Emerald Dragon soldiers turned on the switches on their weapons. Huge arrows shot out from the bow and sides of the ship, shuttling between the countless flying insects. Finally, they left the swarm of insects and arrived in the vast void.
The arrows faced … a dazzling sea of stars.
These were not distant stars. Instead, they were barrages from the Primordial realm army. Like a tsunami, they swept towards the swarm of insects.
The emerald dragon's arrow did not hesitate. It charged into the sea of stars filled with destruction as quickly as it could before dispersing with one or more of the Primordial realm barrage into outer space.
This was the battle … a battle that was like fireworks. The swarm of insects and the Primordial realm constantly barraged each other with barrages. The barrages came in various shapes, but their function was extremely similar. It was to charge … and then explode.
The barrages of the two sides constantly collided. They would erupt with light at the centre of the battlefield before vanishing in the blink of an eye. Countless barrages would collide like that. Some barrages would fly slightly further away, but they would not be too far away from the centre of the battlefield.
As for the barrages that managed to hit the enemy … there was not a single one. Currently, the fate of every single barrage was to collide with another barrage. There were no exceptions.
However, this shouldn't last for long.
Even with the addition of the emerald dragons and skeletal dragons, as well as the reinforcements from the abandoned worlds, the Inca insect swarm could only … fight to a draw against the Primordial realm army.
However, the Primordial realm experts were not attacking with their full strength. More accurately, not all of their troops had arrived in position to attack because … the Primordial realm experts did not all fly over at once.
They were like … a river, forming a very long line and advancing towards this side.
This was mainly because the armies of Primordial realm experts were originally spread out. They did not gather together and instead directly moved the entire army. As a result, some arrived first while others arrived later.
However, it wouldn't take too long for them to gather.
The Primordial realm army that arrived at the very beginning was similar to the ones that had attacked before. There were around two hundred thousand of them, but their numbers were still rapidly increasing.
The troops that flew in from behind joined the troops that were shooting at the front one after another. Once they were in position, they began to launch a barrage of bullets at the swarm.
"There are more and more of them …"
The Cryopteris in the space station could see this very clearly. The huge net formed by the Primordial realm army was gradually expanding. There would always be troops flying in from behind, joining the edge of the net.
Their firepower became fiercer and fiercer. As the barrage of bullets from the Primordial realm army increased, the barrage of bullets from both sides began to slowly press towards the swarm.
The two armies were over thirty thousand kilometers away from each other, so the barrage of bullets moved towards the swarm from fifteen thousand kilometers away.
The increasing number of Primordial realm experts was not the only thing that caused the battle to become unbalanced. There was something else that was huge.
They were … crystalline discs.
They were over ten kilometers in diameter, much larger than the one from before. A total of three crystalline discs flew towards the centre of the battlefield.
They were fearless in the face of the barrage of bullets. Most of the bullets that flew towards them were intercepted. The ones that collided with them from time to time were completely dispersed by a shining 'shield'.
The crystalline discs were the same as the ones Cryopteris had faced before. They were unsealed like shields, and they were relatively tough.
The discs blocked a large number of attacks from the swarm, and they drew closer and closer to the swarm. Cryopteris suspected that they would use the same tactic as last time.
Although the Inca swarm was controlling them this time, the discs were even larger, and they had countless reinforcements behind them.
When the balance of the battle tilted, the swarm needed to use a new tactic to restore the balance. Although the swarm was unable to fend off the Primordial realm army in terms of pure firepower …
"If this continues, we won't be able to last for another hundred seconds or so …" Cryopteris said from the space station, "It's better to use that."
There was no response to his words, but the swarm had already begun to move.
Relatively far away from the battlefield, an army of insects began to move. The army was basically the same colour as the surrounding space, so it was impossible to tell what was different about them.
The new material that covered them could prevent the Primordial realm experts from detecting them, but it was unclear just how effective it was.
The position of the army had already been set up before the battle. They were right behind the Primordial realm army.
They began to rapidly fly towards the Primordial realm army, but when they were six thousand kilometers away, some of the Primordial realm experts suddenly stopped firing. They turned around and aimed at the hidden army that was approaching them.
They had been discovered.
A large barrage of bullets flew over, and the hidden army of insects was exposed. They were reduced to dust by the barrage of bullets.
Their disappearance proved that the Primordial realm had switched to a new method of detection. However, the detection range was not very great. At the very least, the hidden army needed to be relatively close to be discovered.
The Primordial realm army began to move once again. Many of the crystalline discs stopped firing at the swarm and aimed at the surrounding space. A large number of rays of light shot out from their surfaces.
Originally, there did not seem to be anything where the rays of light struck, but a series of explosions occurred.
These explosions also came from the hidden army of the swarm. There were a few more hidden armies, and they did not need to be close to launch attacks. Some of them could launch high-speed explosives from very far away, but the Primordial realm experts had intercepted all of them, so they failed to approach their targets.
However, they were able to buy some time at the very least.
The hidden army of insects did not leave their original positions. Instead, they constantly fired at the Primordial realm experts from behind, approaching them as they fired.
As a result, the Primordial realm experts began to pay more and more attention to them. Even more crystalline discs turned to intercept the barrage of bullets and fired in the direction of the barrage of bullets in an attempt to hit the hidden army.
As the hidden army was beyond the range of the Primordial realm experts, they had no idea where they were, so they could only try to shoot at them.
Sanguine Fog looked at the situation on the battlefield through the screen of the mechanical water puppet. He could see that many of the crystallized flying machines had turned to fire elsewhere. The pressure on the Zerg's side was also slightly reduced. This situation made Sanguine Fog immediately shout, "Now, use that thing!"
Squawk!
As soon as the Emerald Dragon Guard finished speaking, several special arrows flew out. They passed through the swarm of insects and flew into the battlefield.
The arrows seemed to have their own thoughts. They would avoid the barrage of bullets, and in the end, they all struck their target's defences.
It was a huge, shining shield … a shield of crystalline discs.
The arrows were aimed at the crystalline discs in the centre of the battlefield. Just like most of the bullets that struck the discs, they were blocked by the huge shield before exploding and dispersing.
However, there were still a few arrows that managed to pass through the cracks in the shield, flying towards the discs.
However, they exploded very soon.
The surface of the discs could emit countless rays of light, easily shooting down anything that managed to pass through the cracks. Did that mean they were completely protected …?
"Did it work?"
Bloodmist waited in the water puppet for news. Very soon, the screen before him flickered, and an image appeared.
"It worked." Cryopteris' voice rang out from the image, "I've successfully placed that thing into the disc."
"Really?" Bloodmist said, "Why can't I see any effects?"
"It'll take effect very soon … Look."
After Cryopteris said that, Bloodmist looked towards the battlefield as well. He saw a crystalline disc acting strangely. The disc was constantly shooting at the surroundings.
It was shooting at the disc aimlessly.
Some of the bullets flew towards the swarm of insects, some flew towards the Primordial realm troops on its side, and some hit its own defences.
It seemed like it had gone mad, unable to tell what it was doing at all.
The Primordial realm experts seemed to be very confused by the disc's actions. They did not attack the disc. Instead, they sent a few flying machines over to approach it, as if they wanted to repair it.
"Very good. Let's do it again!" Bloodmist saw this and immediately said, "We'll make them go mad … Shoot!"
"Gahhhh!"
