The 'Dim Moon Plan' devised by Jin Xinyue was about to achieve full success. The three space gates were all under the control of the Federation. It was impossible for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive so soon. Even if they were to jump over without the guidance of the star beacons, they would only scatter in the vast space zone of the Heaven's Origin Galaxy, which was eight billion kilometers in diameter. It would definitely be a disaster for any fleet!
A warship had to be embedded in the entire system precisely in order to carry out its full combat ability.
Without the protection of the shield starships, the arsenal starships were like turtles that had lost their shells. They could only launch a one-time attack that would only end in mutual destruction. They were even destroyed beyond the range of the enemy's super long-distance heavy firepower that the enemy deployed on the planets.
Without the firepower support of the arsenal starships, the shield starships would not be able to resist the enemy's barrage for a long time no matter how powerful their spiritual shields, magnetic fields, and Spiritual Nexus were.
Even the most reckless commander could barely make up his mind to perform such a suicidal 'blind jump'.
Instead of using a space jump, they were traveling slowly through the normal route? Even more impossible! The two parties were dozens of lightyears away from each other in the three-dimensional universe. Even if a large-scale battle group could rush all the way at one tenth the speed of light, it would still take them hundreds of years to arrive at the battlefield!
Therefore, the elites and the 'brains' of the Black Wind Fleet were isolated and without reinforcements!
Then, as long as the reinforcements of the Burning Prairie Fleet arrived in time and destroyed the enemy's sharpest claws and the most important brains, they would be invincible!
They were only a few minutes away from the realization of the goal.
The remaining soldiers of the Heaven's Origin Fleet were still bothering the enemy that was ten times stronger than them with astonishing courage and fighting will. Right when they were about to collapse, the 'rebellious' demon troop deployed near the No. 1 space gate rushed forward in time and filled the gap. They roared at the thousands of pillars of light that the Black Wind Fleet was unleashing, just to buy one second, another second, and another second for the main force to arrive!
The Burning Prairie Fleet, the main force of the Federation, did not disappoint, either. The first wave of attack, led by Chief of Staff Bai Kaixin, completed a textbook space jump.
After they crossed billions of stars and experienced the shattering and condensation of three and four dimensions, their solemn and neat battle formation was not messed up at all. Thousands of straight exhaust flames illuminated the dark sea of stars, like a forest of coldly glittering long spears that were carried on the shoulders of ancient soldiers!
Led by "Burning Prairie", the flagship, the forest of spears in space moved slowly. The distance measured by the feedback of the mystic rays made the whole battle group look like an immaculate work of art. When two starships several kilometers long were moving forward side by side, the head of each starship would be no more than ten meters away from each other. On the scale of the universe, it was thousands of times thinner than a hair!
After the first wave of attack arrived at the Tian Yuan Realm, they were not in a hurry to lunge at the coordinates of the Black Wind Fleet. Instead, they established an arc-shaped defense formation unhurriedly, making room for the second wave, the third wave, and even the fleets from the other Sectors of the Xing Yao Federation that were coming over.
In case the information was leaked, the "Dim Moon Plan" was a top secret among top secrets. Even in the Burning Prairie Fleet, only a few leadership members knew a thing or two about it. The regular garrisons of space zones were absolutely unaware of it.
The garrisons of space zones were weak in combat ability, and it would take a long time for them to assemble and jump. But now that they had taken the initiative, there was nothing to be scared of anymore!
The void that had been ripped apart a moment ago was rippling again. Invisible electric arcs, under the scanning of the probe magical equipment, were spreading to all directions like colorful tides. The second wave of attack was about to arrive. It was the motherships of the Burning Prairie Fleet that had the thickest plate armor, the largest storage space, and the most ammunition and crystals. They were the real "main troops"!
Right then, the thousand star beacons that belonged to the three space gates died out at the same time.
By "dying out", it meant that neither the Burning Prairie Fleet, the Black Wind Fleet, nor the command center of the Defense Counsel on the ground could find them with all the scanning and navigation magical equipment.
They seemed to have turned from the most advanced and precise magical equipment of the civilization of mankind into three lifeless rocks in the blink of an eye.
Only the Union Army stationed near the three space gates, after putting on special glasses that could detect invisible light, could see clearly that thousands of twisted arcs of light suddenly burst out of the three space gates a moment ago and ran everywhere like a chain reaction, entangling every star beacon.
As the ball-shaped electric arcs exploded, the previously glamorous star beacons were eclipsed, as if they were covered in a thick layer of dust.
The main force of the Burning Prairie Fleet, which was about to jump under the guidance of the space gates, was immediately thrown into chaos.
One third of the main force had already completed the jump, only to lose their direction at the last moment. Like paratroopers who were parachuting in a storm, they were blown to a certain place in the vast space zone with a radius of more than a hundred million kilometers.
The remaining two thirds of the main force that did not make it in time stopped the jump by force, but they paid a huge price, too. It was especially so for the space jump units, which were all uttering cracking noises.
It was like a runner who was sprinting at a high speed and slammed on the brakes when he realized that there was a cliff in front of him. Although the danger of being smashed into pieces was avoided, it was inevitable that his veins and bones would be broken!
Right now, for the main forces of the two parties, the three 'passes' leading to the Tian Yuan Realm from the outside world had all been blocked by the 'mudslides'.
It was just the beginning.
Most of the communication bases deployed near the home planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector for instant information transmission on the Spiritual Nexus with the other six Sectors had been paralyzed by invisible sparks and electric arcs.
Even though some of them had escaped, when the information transmission that was shared by almost a hundred base stations was concentrated on them, there was still a serious information delay and congestion.
The government network and the military network on the home planet of the Heaven's Origin Sector suffered fatal attacks immediately, too. The enemy seemed to have long known the location of the most confidential 'Achilles' heel of the military Spiritual Nexus. Even inside the highest command center of the Defense Counsel, on the 'Gai' -level super crystal processor with the highest computational ability and security level in the entire Federation, a vintage sword slowly appeared.
The sword slashed all the data displayed on the 3D picture into pieces unhurriedly, displaying the sharpness of the blades that were enshrouded in spiritual stripes in an almost 'arrogant' manner. Then, it curled up and slowly tied itself into a knot.
"Peace, not war."
Below the knotted sword, a sentence slowly popped up. It was a sentence that was correct to some extent, but it could not have been more absurd and weird at this moment.
"A lot of our critical data has been deleted by it!"
"Damn it. It is tampering with our registered identity information crazily. Even the brainwave features have been messed up by it and rematched randomly. I can't enter my own work interface at all, let alone track it down and kill it!"
"What the hell is this? I've never seen a crystal processor virus in such a form and attack mechanism. The infection is too fast. It is attacking every node of the Spiritual Nexus from the Spiritual Nexus instantly. It — it seems to be alive!"
"The three space gates have all been controlled by it. No. It is not a common crystal processor virus. It is even sabotaged from the outside. The three space gates have all been paralyzed. There is no telling when they will be repaired!"
"The communication with the outside world has been cut off. The other six Sectors are in chaos. Hundred Flowers City, the hub of transportation and information, has lost all information. It has entered the frozen state all of a sudden!"
Including Wan Guqing, Speaker of the Federation, Guo Chunfeng, and Jin Xinyue, who had just arrived, all the leadership of the Federation were about to enter the 'frozen state', too.
Everybody looked at Jin Xinyue, Guo Chunfeng, and Wan Guqing, who was about to shoulder the responsibility of leadership, suspiciously and reproachfully.
"This is impossible."
Jin Xinyue was still wearing a confident smile on her face, but there was frost in her smile. On the hundreds of 3D light beams in front of her, a sharp sword appeared at the same time and shattered all the information and data casually. Then, it slowly tied itself into a knot.
"Peace, not war."
Jin Xinyue seemed to be able to hear vague mockery when the enemy said that.
But she could not figure it out at all. "It's unreasonable. Even if the Black Wind Fleet has seen through my plan, it is impossible for them to defeat us. The Federation's technology in the Spiritual Nexus and crystal processors is as good as the Imperium's. How can it be compromised by the enemy so easily?"
"Enough."
Wan Guqing, Speaker of the Federation, was still like an old camel that was so sluggish that it was somewhat clumsy. Faced with the most dreadful sandstorm, he was still keeping his eyes closed and calm. Even if he was somewhat panicked and hesitant, he did not reveal any of it in his voice. He was still as slow and calm as ever. "Find a way to kill the virus and restart the Spiritual Nexus. At the very least, the situation right now is fair to both the enemy and us. Only the most elite forces of both parties have arrived at the Tian Yuan Realm, and the bloated main troops are dozens of lightyears away.
"Now that the three space gates have all been paralyzed, nobody's reinforcements will be able to arrive for a while, right?"
"Re — report!"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when a 'starship analyst' had finished analyzing the data that was transmitted the moment before the Spiritual Nexus was paralyzed.
It was the appearance data of the starships of the second wave of the Black Wind Fleet's jump. After analyzing, the model, level, and scale of the enemy could be determined.
Before the three space gates were completely paralyzed, the second wave of the Black Wind Fleet's jump had almost been completed.
However, none of the starship analysts could tell what level and model the starships belonged to in the fleet of the Imperium when they were faced with the weird data.
In terms of appearance, most of the starships of the second wave were too bizarre and did not match the appearance of all the starships of the Imperium in the intelligence at all!
It was not until this moment that the three space gates were all paralyzed that they finally realized what was going on. Their faces immediately turned pale.
"Report. The second wave of the Black Wind Fleet's jump was not their main force but — it was their space gate!
"They dissected the enormous space gate into pieces and jumped over together with the abundant starships!"
