In both the Federation and the Imperium, when the two destructive meteor showers unleashed the most dazzling brilliance, the pupils and the cerebral cortex of the warriors of both parties seemed to have been directly bombarded, bringing unparalleled stimulation to them.
The Colossi that had been excavated from the primeval relics through all kinds of difficulties and repaired with the precious resources of one or more Sectors, and that was even more valuable than a super starship, exploded into the most expensive debris in the entire universe after Ding Ling Dong's attack.
The awe-inspiring scene cast the communication channel of both parties into dead silence for a moment, before exclamations and shrieks each louder than the last burst out.
The communication channel of the Imperium's army was filled with moans and screams that sounded like a funeral, but the communication channel of the Union Army, on the other hand, was filled with roars at the same time.
"God of War! Our God of War! The Invincible Dragon King! "
In the battle just now, the almost three thousand Crystal Suits of the Union Army were all caught in a hard battle. After a few exchanges, almost a thousand of them had been reduced to cold debris. Their morale had just been affected by fatigue when they were boosted to the sky by Ding Ling Dong's shocking performance. Every Exo of the Federation was like an iron man that could not be killed. They regrouped and launched an unstoppable charge at the most vulnerable and chaotic part of the Black Wind Fleet!
Huchi … Huchi … Huchi …
Ding Ling Dong heard the exclamations in the communication channel, too, but she really did not have the strength to respond.
Redness that was as intense as ink was popping up on the control menu, indicating that the performance parameters of Draconic Phoenix were plummeting.
The three-headed, six-armed Colossus just now was not the mediocre Colossus that she had encountered in the Battle of Firefly ten years ago after all. It was a real top-tier expert.
The price for slaying the enemy glamorously was the heavy damage of Draconic Phoenix and the excruciating pain that felt like burning and slashing from a high-temperature axe deep inside her brain. Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! Three more Colossi of the Imperium lunged at her crazily. It seemed that they had all recognized her identity as the 'God of War of the Federation' and were in a hurry to restore their morale.
Every strand of his nerves was like a fuse that was sizzling, incessantly burning the explosive power to the depths of his brain.
But … so what?
It was not the first time that either she or Li Yao had been through such a scene, had it?
Li Yao had perished together with Skeleton Dragon on Boneyard and been teleported to a faraway place together. Then, he had trained on his own in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau and slayed his enemy by himself. Then, Li Yao had a fierce battle with the resurrected member of the Pangu Clan on Kunlun. Then, his adventures in the Nether World Sector and the Uranian Ring Sector had been through countless perilous, soul-stirring adventures. All of them had persevered just for this day and for the promise that they had made.
"Li Yao …"
Faced with the three aggressive Colossi of the Imperium, Ding Ling Dong put on a touching and even 'gentle' smile inside the iron giant's body. She had never shown such a gentle smile to anyone before. At this moment, the God of War of the Federation and the Blazing Tyrannosaur were all gone. What was left was just a common woman and a wife.
Ding Ling Dong mumbled, one word after another, "You will certainly come back, and I will certainly wait for you to come back!"
Boom!
The somewhat lackluster aura of Draconic Phoenix soared above the galaxy again. Like a unique star beacon that was blossoming for one person, the brightest lighthouse in the universe!
The three Colossi of the Imperium had reached Ding Ling Dong when they suddenly came to a halt, as if they were hesitating. Then, they actually retreated.
The moment they retreated, deep blue pillars of light swept over and protected Ding Ling Dong.
New changes had taken place in the battle formation of the Black Wind Fleet. In a hurry to get rid of the entanglement of the Colossi of the Federation and the Crystal Suit Assault Team, they had to gather into a solemn battle formation even at the cost of dozens of starships.
Ding Ling Dong was slightly dazed. Then, she immediately understood what was going on. Without looking back, she saw countless spots of brilliance on the light beam of her crystal processor that formed a neat rectangular battle formation and marched into the battlefield at a high speed.
"They're finally here!"
Ding Ling Dong could not help but shout in the communication channel. Countless roars echoed together with her.
The elites of the Burning Prairie Fleet had finally arrived. The space battle that would decide the future of the Federation had entered the climax.
The same barrage of cannons, but the Burning Prairie Fleet was much tougher than the Heaven's Origin Fleet, which blocked the Black Wind Fleet in the beginning. Stalled by their allies without any hesitation, the Burning Prairie Fleet was able to establish a battle formation and lock onto the target unhurriedly. In the very first second, the most daunting firepower was poured onto the Black Wind Fleet that was slightly disorganized.
Wildfire played the loudest note of the symphony of destruction!
In terms of combat ability on paper, the Black Wind Fleet at this moment was still above the sum of all the fleets of the Federation.
But they did not foresee that the Great White Fleet would march out of nowhere, nor did they foresee that the Great White Fleet would be so tricky to deal with. One misstep later, they were caught in the rhythm of the Great White Fleet and even the Union Army.
The interference and harassment of the Great White Fleet and the assault team of the Colossi made them unable to establish a standard defense formation when the Burning Prairie Fleet arrived, nor did they have the time to lock onto the important targets of the Burning Prairie Fleet.
After the first round of barrage, both parties suffered heavy losses, too.
However, the Burning Prairie Fleet had long been prepared. Their solemn battle formation was not disrupted at all. When one starship was destroyed, a second one would take its place to ensure the precision and continuity of the firepower. The Black Wind Fleet, on the other hand, was even more chaotic. Many starships were separated by the enemy's firepower. The Great White Fleet and the assault team of the Colossi were still moving in and out of their midst, destroying the defenseless star beacons one after another.
This battle was truly too ugly to watch.
On the bridge of Black Swirl, Heiye Ming, who was soaked in the neural interaction liquids and absorbing the tremendous information on the battlefield with his soul highly integrated with the mainframe crystal processor, could not have been more anxious!
This was not how a battle should be fought.
Even though the two parties were equally exhausted, the enemy's three space gates were merely paralyzed and could be repaired at any moment. More reinforcements would be summoned.
The star beacons on his side, on the other hand, were being destroyed one after another. Very soon, they would reach the tipping point and would not be enough to assemble a standard space gate!
Without the space gate, there would be no reinforcements. Even if the enemy was annihilated, so what? Could they attack the Wall of Heaven's Origin and assault the surface of the Heaven's Origin Sector with the remaining troops on their side? The space fortresses and the defense forces within the atmosphere of the Federation were certainly not to be trifled with, either!
The commander of the Burning Prairie Fleet was well aware of that, too. He had directed eighty percent of his firepower to the star beacons on his side, forcing his main force to 'put out the fire' in the ugliest battle formation time and time again. He could not have been more frustrated if his hands and feet were tied despite his enormous strength on paper.
Besides, there were still the Colossi. Quite a few Colossi that could not be bought with money had been destroyed. One of them had even been blown up by the 'Blazing Tyrannosaur', the God of War of the Federation. There was not the slightest remnant that could be recycled.
Heiye Ming felt that his heart was being twisted when he recalled the scene.
War was a continuation of politics. The people of the Black Wind Sector had come all the way here for money, food, and territory. But if more than half of the few Colossi were to be destroyed, it would not be enough to make up for such a loss even if the entire Federation was wiped out!
In his anxiety, Heiye Ming's soul was vaguely showing signs of exhaustion.
He had to control the number of the remaining star beacons precisely, calculate the new battle formation of the fleet, infer the progress of the battle in the future, decide the number of attacks of the Crystal Suit, and decide the best timing to make a final gamble. Despite his computational ability in the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was still far beyond his limits. Surging tides were surging inside his head, and his brain cells were all exploding like soap bubbles under the sunlight.
To this moment, Heiye Ming still believed in the Imperium's victory.
It was because he still had the last trump card that he hadn't used yet. The expedition army of the Imperium, the Black Wind Fleet that had gathered the elites of five Sectors, naturally carried much more than just ten Colossi.
However, he had to consider carefully how to make use of the remaining Colossi. Those priceless treasures were not cannon fodder that could be consumed easily.
Thinking quickly, Heiye Ming weaved a flawless trap, hoping to lure Burning Prairie, the flagship of the Burning Prairie Fleet, over so that he could destroy the flagship of the Federation with the remaining Colossi!
However …
There was also a thorn that was vaguely aching deep inside his brain.
It was Su Changfa, the Immortal Cultivator of the Imperium who had come to the Federation a hundred years ago.
The Black Wind Fleet had been reduced to such a mess partly because of the unexpected assault of the Great White Fleet, but getting to the bottom of it, it was because he had believed Su Changfa's bulls * it!
It was exactly because Su Changfa had sent tremendous critical intelligence about the Federation over through the Spiritual Nexus, claiming that he could completely paralyze the space gate and the entire network that the Federation established in the Tian Yuan Realm, and showing him certain unquestionable 'evidence' that he had made such a risky assault plan.
But from what he had seen, Su Changfa's words could only be half believed. It was true that he had paralyzed the Spiritual Nexus of the Federation, but the damage was much less than he had imagined. Not only was the Great White Fleet not completely disrupted, even the goddamn Burning Prairie Fleet had recovered so quickly!
Damn it. According to the plan and the 'abilities' that Su Changfa had demonstrated, he should've been able to paralyze the Burning Prairie Fleet, the Great White Fleet, and even the defense system of the Heaven's Origin Sector for at least twenty-four hours!
Right now, the Great White Fleet was not affected by the paralysis of the Spiritual Nexus at all. It even seemed to have foreseen the situation and predicted his tactics. Therefore, they had stabbed into his weakness brutally.
Although the Burning Prairie Fleet was hit, it was completely restored after only a couple of hours of chaos.
As a result, even the Black Wind Fleet seemed to have been caught in a trap of their own making.
Had Su Changfa been boasting and overestimating his abilities, or had he betrayed the Imperium a long time ago and completely surrendered to the Federation, and everything was a trap?
