On the bridge of 'Infinite Fire', the flagship of the Great White Fleet, inside the immersive command capsule, Bai Xingjian's soul was surging, and his flames of spiritual energy were fully activated!
Commanding hundreds of starships to dash in the boundless sea of stars and cut and move as precisely as a scalpel was a huge burden on one's computational ability and soul power. One moment of carelessness, and the highest commander might be mired in mental derangement, exhausting his soul, and even collapsing his brain.
The immersive wisdom capsule was a piece of magical equipment that could maximize the commander's safety and enhance his computational and commanding abilities.
At first glance, the immersive command capsule was not much different from the common medical cabins, except that there were more, denser, and thicker cables extending from the top of the command capsule to all directions.
However, the high-energy nutrition drugs, nerval interaction liquids, and ancillary crystal processors inside the command capsule were not available even in the most advanced medical cabins.
Even so, when Bai Xingjian burnt his soul to the maximum and completely unleashed his most powerful strength, crazy bubbles were popping up inside the command capsule that he was immersed in like boiling magma!
The unstoppable air spurted out of the command capsule incessantly, straightening all the cables. His telepathic thoughts shivered like electric currents and spread out to every corner of Infinite Fire. Then, they spread to every starship of the Great White Fleet, making all the starships launch the most delicate attacks as if they were attracted by invisible electric arcs!
"Old fart, I've truly been fooled by you. Had I known that the mission would be so tricky, I wouldn't have made such a deal with you!"
Brilliance that had been sealed for a hundred years beamed out of Bai Xingjian's eyes. Arcs of brilliance spread out from his eyes. He did not seem to be in a perilous battlefield but enjoying the most delicious food. He smiled in satisfaction. "However, forget it.
"After all, I was planning to have a battle with the ace troops from the center of the cosmos and see what my limits are!"
…
At the same time, on the bridge of Black Swirl, the flagship of the Black Wind Fleet, a completely different scene was taking place.
Heiye Ming stared at the Great White Fleet that was bouncing on the light beam like a haunting ghost. The sharpness in his eyes was even more dazzling than the spears of mystic rays on the battlefield.
The assault of the Great White Fleet was not beyond his expectation. Of the 334 possible changes of the battle, forty-seven of them had taken the anomalies of the Great White Fleet into consideration.
However, based on the data provided by the most reliable intelligence network, even if the data were doubled, he could never have guessed that the Great White Fleet had such a high combat ability and that their tactics were so sordid, brutal, and sordid!
How is it possible? Such a commanding ability and fleet training level would be among the best even among the few most famous ace fleets of the Imperium! It would be shocking enough if the Burning Prairie Fleet had such a supreme commander. But right now, it is not the Burning Prairie Fleet but the Great White Fleet!
The commander of the Black Wind Fleet finally could not help but roar, "What the hell are those barbarians doing? Are the high-level commanders of the Xing Yao Federation so abundant that such a monster can only be stuffed into a mediocre Deep Sky Fleet? This is — this is absurd! What kind of weird trap is this? Or are the leadership of the Union Army all blind? "
Heiye Ming's rhythm was completely disrupted by Bai Xingjian.
He was also an experienced fleet commander who was above average.
It was exactly because of that that he keenly grasped the tactical styles and weaknesses of all the high-level commanders of the Federation after receiving the tremendous data and files from his intelligence network and 'Su Changfa'. He drafted more than three hundred battle plans and ran a thousand simulations before he finally came up with the assault plan.
He knew the tiniest data of all the high-level commanders of the Federation like the back of his hand. But he did not expect that he would be faced with such a Bai Xingjian!
The Great White Fleet did not boast the capability to compete with the Black Wind Fleet head-on. But if they were allowed to march and harass the enemy, not only would their battle formation be messed up into a mess, even the precious star beacons would be mostly destroyed.
The construction of the space gate was open and free. The loss of a few star beacons would not affect the functioning of the space gate at all.
However, if more than fifty percent of the star beacons were destroyed, the precision of the navigation would be significantly lowered, which would greatly affect the jump of the following troops.
In such a hurry, Heiye Ming did not have a good solution. Pondering for a moment, he frowned and activated two rune arrays on the control panel. When the strengthened command capsule slowly rose from below the deck, ten tiny shadows rose from the control light beam and rotated slowly, too.
They were the virtual images of ten Colossi, like ten iron beasts that were still rubbing their claws and teeth in their sleep.
But that was not all.
I didn't expect that we would be the ones to use the Colossi first.
Heiye Ming, who was slowly immersed in the strengthened command capsule and prepared to do his best, thought to himself in frustration, Now that the situation of the battle has changed, we can only rely on the Colossi to stall the Great White Fleet. As long as they are stalled for a moment, our warships will be able to swarm forward and slap the annoying flies to death!
Hehe. Even with the unexpected variable that is the Great White Fleet, the enemy's overall capability is far lower than ours after all. It will only add more twists and turns to the battle, but the outcome is already predestined!
Leaving everything else aside, let's just talk about the quantity and quality of the Colossi … Do the bumpkins at the edge of the cosmos know how to maintain and use the Colossi?
Everything is still under our control. There can't be a second 'variable'. Even if there is, it will not be able to stop the Imperium's hegemony!
…
In District 01 space station of Hundred Flowers City …
The silver tides of liquid metal gradually ebbed. More and more people woke up from their nightmares, dwelling in the joy of surviving the disaster and the trance of the great dream.
Of course, there was also the shock of the glamorous return of the heroes that everybody had been watching.
Li Yao's face was solemn, and his eyes were glittering. His hands turned into two clusters of gray mist as he typed quickly on the virtual keyboard of his portable crystal processor.
Countless streams of information poured down like a waterfall. His eyeballs were shivering at a super high speed as he searched and analyzed the files of paramount importance without letting go of the slightest detail.
He was deep in thought now, his eyes glittering now, and he was hesitating now. But in the end, he narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth to make a decision!
Long Yangjun looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing? Did Professor Mo Xuan tell you any critical intelligence that made you think of a comprehensive plan for your desperate counterattack?"
"I do have the critical intelligence, but I haven't thought of a plan for my desperate counterattack yet."
Li Yao did not even raise his head but continued reading crazily. He said solemnly, "I'm reading the famous sayings and speeches of the past dynasties, preparing to assemble a blood-boiling, soul-stirring speech!"
"… Why … Why are you doing that?" Long Yangjun asked.
"Have you not noticed that a lot of people around are waking up?" Li Yao said. "A lot of people are gathering around the two Colossi. Also, the soldiers such as Colonel Luo are looking at me in a different way!
"A lot of people have learned my real identity in the Spiriters' Realm. This is the glorious return of the legendary Vulture Li Yao, dominator of three Sectors. At such a critical moment, don't you think that I should say something to boost the morale and create an atmosphere where everybody is cheering for me? It's not like I can watch everybody in silence without saying anything, right?
"Damn it. I can't connect again. The network hasn't been fixed yet. Hey, do you have any similar experience that you can share? Aren't you a great eunuch? You were the one who drafted the emperor's speeches, weren't you?"
Long Yangjun took a deep breath. "No. That's not our style. However, you were already an expert and a celebrity in Yuanying more than a hundred years ago, weren't you? Are you not prepared for that at all?"
"That's exactly the problem. I was indeed somewhat famous a hundred years ago, but I was only a 'Special Level Federation Hero' at best. The integration with the Blood Demon Sector was highly controversial in society, too. It was hard to say whether or not what I did was right. So, it was not as unbelievable as it seemed!"
Li Yao said, somewhat wrongly, "I didn't know that they would flatter me as if I were dead. Dominator of three Sectors, superhero, father of 'Civilization', and even father of the damn Federation. Did it have to be so awkward?
"What — what — what can I say? It's not like I can wave to everybody shamelessly and say, 'Hello, everybody. It's true that I can't keep it a secret anymore. In fact, I'm the legendary dominator of three Sectors and your father of the nation. I'm finally back to save you.' How about this?"
Long Yangjun thought carefully for a moment. "Can I laugh?"
"You can't!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "Help me think of what I should say. It's so embarrassing. Look. Everybody is surrounding me. Wait. Are they holding flowers in their hands and about to present them to me?"
"There's an idea."
Looking at Li Yao's belly, Long Yangjun said, "Why don't you just stop talking and continue singing with your abdomen? Sing all the patriotic songs of the Federation in the past five hundred years in line. You will have all the atmosphere you want."
Li Yao glared at Long Yangjun.
Looking at her shoulder, he saw more than ten people flying in from the airtight gate not far away. His face suddenly changed. "Not good. Meng Chixin, Han Baling, Qi Zhongdao, and Yan Liren are here!"
"That's truly a bad idea."
Long Yangjun raised her eyebrow and said, unmoved, "I think that, compared to the passionate bystanders, the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector who were deceived by you to the Federation and were almost killed by the extraterrestrial devils for no good reason are much more troublesome. Even with my back to them, I can still sense their burning fury. If I were in their shoes, I would even feel like killing you right now."
Li Yao grew anxious. "What do you mean by deceived by 'me'? It was' us' who deceived them together, alright?"
"Is that so?"
