The five Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium noticed that Helian Lie was lunging at them, too.
Their bodies came to a halt for a moment, as if they had no idea what the crazy major of the Union Army was up to.
But in the next second, the crystal cannons and honeycomb-type flying sword launchers on their Crystal Suits all emitted the most dangerous brilliance.
The final storm was about to strike. Helian Lie no longer cared about anything else. He only wanted to condense his last drop of wisdom, courage, spirit, willpower, and seven emotions and six desires into this blade and swing it out. He did not swing it at this piece of trash, but at the endless sea of stars. He wanted to tell the entire universe.
"I've been here!"
Helian Lie's ugly face beamed with a smile that was as brilliant as that of a teenager. He was ready to welcome the baptism of mystic rays, bullets, radiation, waves, vibration sabers, and chainswords.
His only regret was that everything was too hasty. He had just found the proud heart of his youth. He did not have the time to think of a sentence that would be recorded in the textbooks of the elementary and secondary schools in Floating Spear City for his' valiant sacrifice '.
Although, no one else would hear it.
But in the next second, when the enemy's honeycomb-type flying sword launchers were all activated and the destructive mystic rays darted out, the five Exos of the Imperium, together with a large area around them, were swallowed by almost a hundred snow-white light balls!
The light balls expanded to almost a hundred meters in one tenth of a second, before they perished in another tenth of a second. In less than half a second, most of the materials within the range of the light balls were obliterated, leaving only some tiny cosmic dust that was still emitting colorful brilliance!
Streaks of white brilliance were still lingering on Helian Lie's retina, but a tiny 'bubble' had appeared on the battlefield. The Exos of the Imperium inside the bubble were like bacteria that had been swallowed by white blood cells. They suffered heavy losses!
Helian Lie was dumbfounded. If the dragon-slaying saber had not been directly attached to the palm armor, it would have certainly been knocked out of his hand.
"This is …"
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the direction where the cannonfire came from.
The remote scanning crystal cameras of the Crystal Suit had been damaged. Because of the intense interference of the battlefield, they could not connect to the battle network of their own side and could not access the pictures captured by the large probe crystal cameras of the Union Army.
He could only vaguely see some tiny light spots, which were like razors that were as thin as paper, driving the invisible wind in the universe and inserting the most vulnerable gap between the two jumps of the Black Wind Fleet!
"It's our fleet!"
Helian Lie opened his eyes wide. He gripped the hilt of his saber and knocked on the helmet, trying to knock out several damaged crystal cameras.
Needless to say, this restoration technique that was widely circulated among the veterans was actually effective. The burning image on his retina seemed to have become a little clearer, allowing him to see clearly that it was a small but extremely fast fleet of the Federation. There was no telling where they had been hiding just now, as if they had directly crawled out of a crack in the universe.
Although he was a major, Helian Lie did not have any specialties in commanding and governing. He was a pure battle-type Cultivator who had always been a 'vanguard'. He did not know the first thing about the competitions of warships.
However, he was a seasoned veteran of the Union Army after all. He still had his own emotional judgment about the outcome of a battle.
His standard of judgment was the uniformity of the exhaust flames at the rear of the starship. Regardless of the scale and capability of the two parties, in every great battle of the fleets that he had participated in, the side with the more uniform exhaust flames at the rear of the starship had almost always won.
Even if the two parties were mired in a muddy, chaotic battle, it was often the side that could unify the exhaust flames at the rear of the starship first would recover from the chaos first and claim the final victory!
But this time, the exhaust flames at the rear of the mysterious fleet on his side were more than 'uniform'. They were almost perfect!
Helian Lie was not a man who was good at calligraphy. Years of fighting and training did not allow him to accumulate too many artistic cells, either. But he still appreciated the soul-stirring beauty from the deflection, turning, and arcs of the exhaust flames at the rear of the starship, as well as the constant changes of color.
Wild bees were dancing crazily, razors were flying, and wolves were roaring. The charge, attack, and evasion of the mysterious fleet were so brilliant that even an outsider such as Helian Lie had found the weakness of the Black Wind Fleet under the guidance of their scalpel. The whole battlefield seemed to have become clear all of a sudden because of the arrival of the mysterious fleet!
Helian Lie saw that the first wave of attack led by 'Black Swirl', the flagship of the Black Wind Fleet, and the second wave of attack, which carried abundant star beacons, were a certain distance away from each other because they had jumped over in two separate jumps.
Before, the Heaven's Origin Fleet had been completely crushed, and the Burning Prairie Fleet was too far away to stop the integration of the two parts of the Black Wind Fleet.
However, the mysterious fleet had crawled out at the moment when 'Black Swirl' was most aggressive and lunged at the rear part of the Black Wind Fleet, which had not stabilized yet and carried a lot of burdens.
Like the sharpest razor, they cut off the shell of the Black Wind Fleet layer by layer. Then, they launched a storm of bombardments, turning the vulnerable star beacons into fireballs!
In terms of number, they were far less than the Black Wind Fleet. The firepower on the starships seemed to be slightly weaker, too. But in terms of timing and the coordination of the starships …
They were the most awesome fleet that Helian Lie had ever seen!
Helian Lie saw that the Black Wind Fleet had been hit in the ass, and the head with 'Black Swirl' as the core was spinning in fury. The enormous fleet extended six 'tentacles' made of hundreds of starships like a cosmic octopus, trying to surround the mysterious fleet from all directions.
The mysterious fleet, on the other hand, was like the most cunning fish that had slipped away before the 'tentacles' reached them. Swimming among the interconnected pillars of light, they even seemed to be taking a stroll in the park.
Then, their battle formation suddenly changed, and they began to harass the enemy from the outside. Like a mosquito that could only drive people crazy, they simply did not allow the two parts of the Black Wind Fleet to merge properly.
The swift charge, the fierce firepower, and the wretched dodging. They could not be caught, killed, or driven away. They did not look like giant warships at least hundreds of meters long at all. Instead, they looked like single armed shuttles wrapped in soap bubbles!
"…"
Helian Lie did not know whether or not the mysterious fleet could reverse the situation of the battle. After all, they were still too weak compared to the Black Wind Fleet in terms of number and firepower. It was possible that they could only delay the enemy for a while by harassing the enemy.
However, the mysterious fleet attracted all the attention. Right now, the main battlefield had become the joint of the two parts of the Black Wind Fleet. The Exos of the Imperium who were cleaning the battlefield all returned as if they had gone crazy. The debris of the Heaven's Origin Fleet immediately cooled down.
Nobody paid any attention to him or the thousands of common soldiers around him who were either dead or floating quietly in iron cans.
If it was really a revelation from the wretched heavens, he could not just wait for the rescue without doing anything.
Helian Lie groped on the battlefield for a long time. He found more medical drugs and high-energy food from the first-aid kits of the Crystal Suit of his dead comrades and refilled them into his own first-aid kit. He was lucky enough to find some external spurting units, which he installed on the broken Crystal Suit to slightly increase the speed.
There were still a lot of intact chainswords and vibration sabers on the battlefield, but Helian Lie was reluctant to part with the dragon-slaying saber that had been with him for a long time and had been broken in the middle.
After all, the enormous saber was almost four meters long in the beginning. Even if half of it was broken, even if it was full of cracks and gaps, even if it might completely fall apart in the next second …
But at this moment, it was still capable of fighting!
Helian Lie turned the handle of the saber around and knocked on his helmet three times. He bellowed to himself, "You are Helian Lie! You are Helian Lie! You are f * cking Helian Lie!
"Go and do something. Anything!"
Helian Lie was refreshed. Activating the power rune arrays and the spurting units, he rushed toward the airspace where thousands of starships were fighting fiercely.
Right now, he did not know what he could do exactly.
But first, he had to think of a heroic and visionary sentence, the kind that was especially heroic and hot-blooded.
…
The laymen enjoyed the show, and the experts appreciated the tricks. For the laymen such as Helian Lie, the mysterious appearance of the Great White Fleet in the highest command center of the Defense Counsel of the Federation raised a white storm ten times more intense.
Under the unremitting efforts of the specialists of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus, the communication lines were repaired one after another, and the probe cameras were reconnected. The previously blurred battlefield was clear again.
The traces of the Great White Fleet's attack that were as fast as the wind and as fast as fire turned into tremendous unbelievable data that was spurted to the faces of all the leadership of the Federation.
"They have passed through the front and the rear of the Black Wind Fleet, causing large-scale chaos in the rear of the enemy. But their own casualty rate cannot be higher than two percent!"
"Fifteen minutes! In only fifteen minutes, they have changed from a cone-shaped attack formation to a butterfly-shaped battle formation that can both attack and defend. Even the Burning Prairie Fleet did not achieve such a feat in their drills! It will take at least twenty minutes for a fleet of such a scale to change its battle formation, not to mention that it is in the scourge of such a high-intensity barrage! "
"Is this really the Great White Fleet? Isn't the Great White Fleet a miscellaneous troop that started with carriers and space pirates? Even after so many years of adjustment, their tactics are still the guerrilla warfare and harassment of the space pirates. Why can they maintain such an immaculate gold battle formation in a head-on confrontation with a large fleet? "
"More than that. Far more than that! Look at the coordination of the cannons and the Exos on the Great White Fleet's own side, and look at their prediction of the Black Wind Fleet's counterattack. The astonishing sense of rhythm is already leading the Black Wind Fleet by the nose, not to mention the coordination of the hundreds of starships! Just think about it. Which level of commander can achieve such an art of commanding even in the Burning Prairie Fleet? "
"Is the guy who is commanding the Great White Fleet really Bai Xingjian? The half-baked commander who was kicked out by the Burning Prairie Fleet?"
