There were many benefits to assembling battleships. They saved more energy when flying together, and they were easier to deploy in battle. However, the requirements for the materials and craftsmanship of the battleship were very high.
After some research, the Douluo Federation rejected the idea of assembling battleships because the cost was too high. Using the same materials to build a mothership-class battleship would yield higher profits.
The Tianhe battleship was actually such an expensive assembly battleship. No wonder their battleships were all standardized. They could split into smaller battleships.
These hundreds of battleships that were smaller than the meteor-class assault battleships but much larger than the reconnaissance battleships quickly spread out and arranged themselves in the surrounding star fields. They surrounded and protected the hundreds of smaller Tianhe battleships in the center. They were clearly acting as outer guards.
In the next instant, the front of the Tianhe battleship began to split open slowly. A huge cannon was revealed in the center of the triangular tip. Blue-white light was faintly discernible in the cannon, and the cannons of five of the battleships began to brighten.
Good heavens, the main cannon is charging!
Lan Xuanyu led his men and ran even faster. Using a battleship to attack the Crimson Domain directly. Could the Crimson Domain absorb energy of this level?
At this moment, the Crimson Domain on Planet Tianhe seemed to have sensed the threat from space. The shuttle-shaped Crimson Domain began to rapidly change shape. From its original shape, it first shrunk inwards, and its volume became one-third smaller than before. At the same time, the shuttle-shaped Crimson Domain turned into a shield. It no longer continued to spit out Crimson Domain creatures. However, the Crimson Domain creatures that had already been spat out didn't return. Instead, they continued to attack in all directions. On the other hand, the Crimson Domain experts had already quickly returned to the interior of the Crimson Domain and disappeared.
"Buzz —"
The air vibrated violently. In space, five rays of blue-white light descended from the sky. They almost instantly pierced through the atmosphere and rapidly descended. They brazenly bombarded the Crimson Domain.
Everyone was looking at the scene in front of them. Using a battleship to bombard a planet, such a situation was extremely rare in the universe. Especially when they were bombarding their own planet. One could imagine how furious the leaders of Planet Tianhe were at this moment.
The palace that had been passed down for thousands of years was destroyed. There were heavy casualties, and the life of the planet was being devoured by the enemy. That was why they launched an attack on their own planet at all costs.
"Boom!" On the surface of the Crimson Domain, a large area of crimson ripples blossomed. The five enormous bluish-white pillars of light over a hundred meters in diameter blasted into the Crimson Domain, bursting forth with blinding light.
Everyone watching this scene held their breaths. Whether or not the warship's attack could cause damage to the Crimson Domain was crucial to this battle.
The shield shape of the Crimson Domain shrank a little, and in the next moment, the surface of the Crimson Domain seemed to have caved in. These depressions turned into vortexes, madly devouring the energy of the blue and white cannons. The Crimson Domain seemed to have become brighter because of this.
The whole process lasted for a few seconds. The earth quaked and the air trembled. The power of the warship's main cannon gradually dissipated.
The Crimson Domain returned to its calm state. From the looks of it, there was no movement at all. However, if one were to sense it with their Divine Sense, they would discover that the dark red color on the ground had stopped spreading at this moment.
Inside the crimson domain, something seemed to be surging. The surging energy fluctuations were clearly becoming more intense.
What is this? Indigestion? This was the first word that came to Lan Xuanyu's mind. Judging from the intensity of the energy, the Tian He warship's main cannon was extremely terrifying. It was definitely not inferior to the main cannons of the Douluo Federation's fleet. Such explosive energy was extremely explosive. It seemed like even the Crimson Domain couldn't devour it instantly.
Looking down from space, one could naturally tell that the Crimson Domain's expansion had stopped. This also meant that the attack just now had a certain effect.
In the next instant, the main cannons of the ten Tian He warships in space started to recharge. The second wave of attacks was about to be unleashed.
However, at this moment, the interior of the Crimson Domain suddenly glowed brightly with red light. Following this, huge pillars of crimson light shot out into space.
Counterattack?
The Tian He warship's reaction was extremely quick. Evidently, this was a warship with outstanding training. The smaller Tian He warships that were no longer in the periphery quickly shot out beams of blue light. They intertwined in space to form a huge net of light that blocked the Tian He warships.
The pillars of crimson light that shot into space were instantly stopped when they collided with the net of light.
However, the crimson light didn't dissipate after colliding with the net of light. Instead, it transformed into gigantic beasts that were more than a thousand meters long. They started to tear apart the light.
These gigantic beasts looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. They were more than a thousand meters long, and they were like huge centipedes. They had many tentacles on their bodies, and the most terrifying part was their mouths. They were more than a hundred meters long. They were extremely sharp. Even the net of light formed from energy was bitten apart by them.
These centipedes were still spitting out dense crimson fog. They actually had corrosive properties. More than thirty centipedes were instantly blasted into space. Under their frenzied tearing, the defensive net of light was about to collapse.
Of course, the Tian He warship wouldn't just watch as the other party attacked. Blue and white cannons exploded and attacked the centipedes.
However, these centipedes were very cunning. Their backs split open, and six pairs of wings unfurled. They flew rapidly in space, and had very strong prediction abilities. They avoided most of the attacks. They constantly attacked the Tian He warship from the periphery.
These centipedes had never appeared in the previous battles. Without a doubt, they were a completely new type of lifeform from the Crimson Domain.
This was an existence that could rival a warship. From Lan Xuanyu's perspective, this was an ecological warship! Moreover, it was the type that had its own consciousness.
However, in terms of numbers, the Tian He warship still outnumbered them. More than a hundred warships had already been mobilized. A portion of them fought against the giant centipedes, while the rest continued to rain down cannon fire on the Crimson Domain.
For a moment, cannon fire filled the sky. Terrifying energy fluctuations caused the surface of Planet Tian He to become restless. For the first time, the Crimson Domain felt like it was being stretched thin.
Very quickly, it was discovered that the Crimson Domain didn't devour all the cannon fire. Some of it was devoured, while some of it was blocked by the Crimson Domain itself. Clearly, even the Crimson Domain couldn't completely devour this explosive energy. At the very least, it wouldn't be able to digest it in a short period of time.
The giant centipedes in space were very strong. Most importantly, they were abnormally agile. The red fog they spat out had the ability to refract light, preventing the Tian He warship's cannon fire from hitting them.
However, the strength of the Tian He warship far surpassed the Ryuma Federation's warships. This was definitely the strongest warship the Ryuma Federation currently had. Its powerful firepower was actually able to temporarily suppress the Crimson Domain. Although the giant centipedes weren't defeated for the time being, they couldn't charge into the Tian He warship's defensive perimeter either. For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate.
Lan Xuanyu and the others had already retreated very far away. They could clearly see the current situation. The Tian He warship's strength had left a deep impression on them. To deal with such a warship, the Douluo Federation would need at least two warships to pin it down. Only three warships would have a greater chance of defeating it. However, it would be very difficult for them to completely wipe out the Tian He warship. This was even under the suppression of the Mothership.
