Faced with the scourge of the unstoppable barrage, those starships boosted their power units to the maximum without exception. Spurting out panicked exhaust flames, they fled desperately in all directions.
Boss Bai's fleet, on the other hand, simply ignored the fleeing starships and focused their firepower on the starships at the core of the enemy's battle formation.
The starships that were still lingering in Song Changlie's battle formation mostly belonged to the Song family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family. Some even belonged to the Yun family.
Those warships of the Yun family were even more confused, wondering if Boss Bai was really supervising the battle here under Yun Xuefeng's secret order.
However, the urgency of the situation left no time for them to think and judge. Before they took any action, they had already been locked onto by the Song family's warships that were right next to them. Even though the Song family's warships had not spurted out the real fire of destruction, their coldness and hostility were obvious.
When two warships locked onto each other at the same time, it was only a matter of time before they destroyed each other.
It was hard to say which one of them opened fire first. All in all, before Boss Bai's fleet approached, the Song family's warships and the Yun family's warships had already been engaged.
The warships of the Li family and the Dongfang family, on the other hand, decided not to be involved in the chaotic turbulence after a moment of hesitation. They fled to all directions crazily like other stragglers, which meant that they had given up resistance and were waiting to be recruited by Boss Bai.
"Bai, how dare you!"
After only half an hour, the enormous fleet fell apart. The starships were dancing crazily like burning fireflies and dispersing one after another. The scene made Song Changlie burst into fury, with smoke popping out of his throat.
He tried to stop the starships that were running away from him, but almost all the starships had cut off the communication with him and fled further and further away without looking back.
Part of the Song family's warships even left the battlefield in secret, leaving him behind!
To this moment, Song Changlie still felt that he had fallen into the most absurd nightmare. He could not believe what was happening before his eyes at all.
Boss Bai was just the humblest space pirate who was good at flattering his master Li Wuji, and Li Wuji was good at flattering Yun Xuefeng. That was why he was elected as the commander of the so-called "National Protection Army".
Also, the starships around him should've been gathered temporarily, too. They couldn't have been the original members of the "National Protection Army". How could he command them so delicately and boast such a high combat ability?
Besides, how could he be bold enough to kill a marquess of the Imperium who belonged to the Song family despite universal condemnation? Was he not scared of the thunderous fury from the Song family? Was he not scared that the great alliance of a million starships would fall apart immediately, and the trust and cooperation among the four families would be gone?
It was a battlefield of paramount importance. The army of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors was right in front of them. How could he be so bold?
Song Changlie could not figure it out.
"You're crazy, surnamed Bai, you're really crazy!"
Song Changlie bellowed, "Just wait until I catch you, skin you, and throw you in front of Yun Xuefeng. Let's see how you explain it to the four families!"
Together with the bellows, Song Changlie's trump cards, the three Colossi, finally showed up. They darted at "Alloy Virus", Boss Bai's flagship, in three streaks of brightness as fast as lightning!
"Hehehehe. Even though you have more starships under your control than I do and you launched an unexpected attack with such a shameless trick, what can you do after I catch your flagship and drag you and Li Wuji out of your nest?"
Song Changlie knew that Li Wuji had a Colossus.
However, Li Wuji was not a pure battle-type Immortal Cultivator. He was more of an admin-type Immortal Cultivator, and he was better at the internal politics of the family as well as the construction and command of the fleet.
The three Colossi pilots under Song Changlie's command, on the other hand, were out-and-out battle-type Immortal Cultivators. They were among the most notorious people in the entire Imperium!
Song Changlie had not been idle in the previous half hour. He had been trying to search, scan, and lock onto "Alloy Virus". It was not until this moment that he finally launched the fatal attack after locking onto the enemy clearly! —
The exhaust flames unleashed by the three Colossi immediately eclipsed the battlefield that was brimming with fireworks.
Every Colossus unleashed tides of spiritual energy tens of thousands of meters tall, which hit the scanning magical equipment of all the starships in undulating noises.
Even the starships that were fleeing in a hurry could not help but slow down after sensing the arrival of the Colossi, wondering if the scales of victory would be tilted to Song Changlie's side.
The starships on Boss Bai's side did not have much fighting will either. Seeing that the Colossi showed up, they all fled, exposing "Alloy Virus". Or rather, "Alloy Virus" moved forward voluntarily and exposed itself to the attack range of the three Colossi!
From "Alloy Virus" and the few starships of the "Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs" nearby, tremendous battle puppets that were specially designed for the gravity-free environment in the vacuum of space were spurted out.
Those battle puppets did not have limbs or any other body parts. They were purely round iron balls that could launch brief assaults with the dozens of exhaust flames all over their body. However, they could also be simply connected and combined with each other through the magnetic field. Such a form was from a "Hyper Spirit" designed by Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan, known as "Colossus Killer". Li Yao and Long Yangjun had fought against similar battle puppets in space before.
Xiaoming and Wenwen were born from the "Hyper Spirits" in the first place. Naturally, they inherited the relevant design and construction data. After being upgraded and strengthened by A Boxing Champion, they had become the new-generation "Colossus Killer"!
Thousands of inconspicuous iron balls congregated into a blood-freezing torrent of iron that swept toward the three Colossi.
The problem that had once been a headache for Li Yao and Long Yangjun haunted the Immortal Cultivators of the Song family at this moment.
There were too many iron balls, and they were moving at a high speed. Also, with the exhaust ports in all directions, they did not have any pattern at all. It was very difficult to lock onto and destroy them.
Also, with their powerful magnetic fields, they attacked the Colossi from all directions like a storm. They would even stick to the surface of the Colossi and unleash intense electric arcs, sharp interference waves, or even explode directly. The three Colossi were all caught in a flurry and were all covered in dust.
In the meantime, Boss Bai's starships were not idle, either. Including Alloy Virus and Stainless Mouse, the main-force warships with powerful firepower locked onto the three Colossi and almost emptied their entire arsenal.
Thousands of snakes of fire surged and built an overwhelming wall of fire. Even the Colossi could not pass through it at all!
With the super firepower that exceeded the limits and the battle puppets and drones commanded by the most advanced artificial intelligence, they were able to compete with the Colossi. That was the battle philosophy of the "Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships", and it had been slightly verified on the "Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs".
Of course, Colossi were Colossi after all. They were the ultimate weapons that could sweep across the sea of stars.
Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion's experiment on "unmanned war" was still in the phase of exploration and experimentation.
The firepower of Alloy Virus and Stainless Mouse was far from the level of the Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships, too.
Therefore, after paying the price of almost half of their spiritual energy, the three Colossi still tore apart the seemingly indestructible wall of fire and appeared before Alloy Virus majestically.
"You're screwed!"
On "Tiger Roar", Song Changlie gnashed his teeth and smashed his fists hard, raising sparks and smoke on the control panel. His own hands were bleeding too. "Bai, Li, you're both screwed!"
"The 'Iron Ball I Fully Automatic Unmanned War System' does indeed have a great loophole!"
On the bridge of Alloy Virus, Xiaoming and Wenwen, who had thousands of clones and existed in all the battle puppets and the command chain at the same time, sighed gloomily. "Although our idea was very good to manipulate all the 'Iron Balls I' with the computational ability of the idle crystal processors on all the starships through 'cloud control', we still underestimated the interference of spiritual energy and the instability of the network on the battlefield. At least 40% of the 'Iron Balls I' cannot be controlled precisely. Even for those that can be controlled precisely, their tactics are too rigid and not as agile as those of real human beings."
"Let's take it slow. Even information lives have to follow the law of evolution. 'Iron Ball II', which is still being experimented on, must be better than 'Iron Ball I'. Perhaps the battle puppets or drones of this model will not be finalized until dozens of iterations have passed!"
A Boxing Champion's calm voice came over. "It took me hundreds of years to evolve into what I am today. I don't mind waiting for another hundreds of years. Time is the least precious thing for us."
"So, are you done rambling?"
Long Yangjun's rather impatient voice came over. "If you are done rambling, will it be my turn?"
"We're counting on you, Aunt Long."
Xiaoming and Wenwen said at the same time, "We will manipulate the remaining 'Iron Balls I' to provide firepower support and battlefield assistance for you. It will be best if the three Colossi can be kept intact as much as possible. After slight modifications, those Colossi will be very suitable for the experts from the Federation, such as' Sword Maniac 'Yan Liren! I believe that his unstoppable blade will certainly be sharper, won't it? "
"Yan Liren …"
Long Yangjun smiled. "I would've almost forgotten about the 'Sword Maniac' if you hadn't mentioned it. I really want to know how much combat ability the guy can wield after he is equipped with a more advanced Colossus. Can he really slay the gods in the universe in one attack?"
With a smile, Long Yangjun stepped onto the battlefield casually in the super Colossus "Heavenly Crystal".
