There were all kinds of strange things in the Vast Thousand World, but a giant beast that was as big as a mountain floating in the air with a cluster of long tentacles swinging from its head to its tail and covered with huge colorful spots was too rare.
"Go wake up Staff Officer Karim." Even though he could only see the ferocious figure of the ancient biochemical weapon from the 3D composition of the 'light energy scanner,' Essengug, who was rich in war experience, could still clearly feel the heavy pressure. After a few seconds of consideration, he ordered with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Sir General." The adjutant not far away saluted upon hearing the order and strode out of the cockpit. Soon, Karim, who had already rested, appeared beside Essengug with traces of water vapor still on his face.
"I'm sorry, Karim. I know that you hate to be disturbed by others the most, and I also know that you've been working continuously for several days in order to formulate the combat plan, but this matter is urgent, so I need your judgment …" The fleet commander saw his good friend's slightly embarrassed look and said apologetically.
Before he could finish his words, he was already interrupted by the chief staff officer who was staring at the 3D picture. "Essengug, I'm not an idiot. I know that this is a critical moment, so what's the meaning of prediction?"
"The light energy surface is a non-metallic substance, so I predict that it's a strange creature," Essengug no longer held back and said concisely.
"Strange creature …" Karim 'chewed' on this judgment and instinctively felt that things were not so simple. "If it's really a creature, then it's indeed strange."
"Do we need to stop them?"
"No, judging from their momentum, they're big guys. We only have three warships, so there's no benefit in provoking them. If they're not malicious, it's smart for us to avoid them for now."
"I actually think so too." Essengug nodded and agreed with Karim's idea. After the two people who had the highest authority in the Atlantis fleet reached a consensus, the warships that were originally hovering on the coast started to move silently and slowly retreated to the depths of the island.
The warships of the light energy civilization entered a state of combat readiness. When they sailed, their shells would automatically refract the surrounding scenery and enter a semi-stealth mode. However, the faint airflow changes caused by the Atlantis fleet's movement were keenly captured by the tentacles of the Wizard Li's giant biological weapon that were swaying in all directions. Because of this, they locked onto their direction.
Soon, a respectful report came from the crystal room in the eye sockets of the Ancient One. "Great God, the Skybeasts have found the outlanders and their sneaky Skybeasts. Should we destroy them now?"
Zhang Lisheng looked at the surging wind and clouds in the distance through the insect's compound eye-like transparent crystal and said with a blank expression, "No, follow behind those outlanders' skybeasts and force them to leave the Wizard Li Island."
The young man's purpose was to intimidate the alien fleet that invaded the Shrimp World No. 2, not to destroy them. He must have a sense of propriety because if he showed an overly belligerent look, he would be listed as a powerful and threatening enemy by Atlantis. Then, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Not long after the young man gave his order, the spots on the edge of the Ancient One's body split open and caved in to transform into mouthparts, making a loud 'ugh …' sound as it spread the god's order to the entire fleet.
The change in the form of the Wizard Li's flagship was clearly shown in the three-dimensional composition of the Atlantean battleship's cockpit. Upon seeing the mouthparts that were full of teeth, Essengug could not help but shudder as he cursed, "Look at how terrifying those guys' teeth are! Karim, all the explorers of the World 30009 should be 'exiled.' To think that such a powerful creature was not even mentioned in the report!"
"Now is not the time to complain, Karim. Look at the trajectory of those monsters' flight," Karim, who was by the side, calmly called out the light key and drew a dotted line on the three-dimensional picture. "It's obvious that they're chasing us. This is not good. They're showing their fangs. Sigh, looks like we've become prey."
"Steel prey? Aren't those big guys afraid of breaking their teeth? They're really inferior creatures whose brains are inversely proportional to their bodies."
"When the body has evolved to the point that it can crush all prey, the brain naturally no longer needs to evolve anymore. Besides, our ancestors have seen the monsters that can devour planets before. Who knows if the guys we've encountered can digest steel or not …"
"Don't use such a dangerous metaphor on the battlefield, Karim!" The fleet commander said with a taut expression, "Since the war is already unavoidable, we can only accept it. Not only that, but we have to take the initiative to attack. What do you think?"
"The number of the enemy is far above us, and their strength is unknown as well. Even if we want to take the initiative to attack, we must control the scale as much as possible. It's best if we can scare them away," the staff officer said in contemplation. "Let's send out two teams of sergeants to harass them first.
If the several dozens of 'little bugs' that fly out of the huge 'prey' have powerful combat power, I think those monsters will give up chasing us. "
"You're always so careful, Karim!" Essengug said casually with a slightly relaxed expression. Loudly, he ordered, "Fleet, stop sailing. 01 and 03 patrol sergeants, attack! Snipe freely!"
As the fleet commander gave the order, the three battleships immediately hovered in the air. A small metal door slowly opened on the belly of the flagship in the middle. Several dozens of Atlantean sergeants, whose bodies were emitting dazzling light, flew out in two rows.
They were reorganized into two teams outside. These sergeants, who were wrapped in silver-white tight-fitting combat uniforms with only their fiery red hair fluttering outside, hovered in the air and looked at the enemies that were getting larger as they approached. Feeling the full sense of oppression, the faces hidden in the masks became extremely solemn.
Among the two teams of sergeants, a man and a woman had a bright ball of light painted on their arms, making them look like the leaders. Among them, the captain, who had a lean male figure in the combat uniform, suggested in a low voice, "Captain Lilith, I'm afraid that the opponents this time are not easy to deal with. I think it's better for us to fight together."
"Fight together …" The female leader hesitated for a while and refused tactfully. "Captain Abigail, our team is used to guerrilla warfare, and you're good at attacking fortifications. It's not a good idea for us to fight together.
All sergeants of the 03 patrol team, stand in threes and disperse to attack! I'll be the first target to attack! Attack! " The instant her words left her mouth, the graceful female captain stretched out both of her hands. The light stone in her palms emitted a dazzling light as it flew forward with a swoosh.
Seeing that their captain was about to face the enemy, more than 30 Atlantean sergeants grasped the light stone at the same time tacitly and turned into a meteor, charging towards the terrifying giant monster in the distance.
"I heard from the flagship's most heroic and powerful female sergeants that our team is good at attacking fortifications.
'Patrol' and 'fortifications' are originally two contradictory words, but because of our bravery, they're combined. "Even though the male captain's proposal was rejected, he still behaved very generously. Not only did he not show any anger, but he even took the opportunity to boost the low morale." Look at the performance of the 03 patrol team … "He pointed to the distance.
As far as the eye could see, the Atlantean sergeants, who had already begun to engage in guerrilla warfare, were flying up and down around the giant monsters. The light balls they emitted had become so bright that they were dazzling. From time to time, they would shoot out hot lasers and blazing flames, turning the sky into a sea of light and fire.
After being attacked, the Wizard Li warrior who was controlling the ancient biological weapon central system reported to Zhang Lisheng, "Great God, some outlanders have left their skybeasts and launched a spellcasting attack on us. Should we kill those outlanders or continue to chase after their skybeasts?"
"Does the outlanders' attack hurt our skybeasts?"
"Yes, but it's only a flesh wound, Your Majesty."
"Flesh wounds are still wounds. We must be careful not to accumulate …" Looking at the sea of fire in front of him through the crystal, the young man muttered and ordered, "Attack with full force! Get rid of these annoying 'bugs' in the shortest time possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After an excited answer, the ancient war weapon that was floating in the air after countless years could once again show its ferocious face on the battlefield under the command of the Wizard Li God. Those tentacles that were originally blindly waving in the wind suddenly stretched and tied up seven to eight flying light balls in the air that were caught off guard. After they tightened their grip, they exploded into blood mist and flesh.
At the same time, the huge spots on the biochemical warships split open into mouthparts and shot out countless strong acids, death rays, freezing rays, and other powerful long-range attacks without any blind spots, instantly killing all the Atlantean sergeants around them.
After killing all of the light balls that were close to them, the dorsal fin of a giant biochemical weapon in front of the formation split open and hundreds of terrifying creatures with slender bodies leaped out.
Those monsters looked like centipedes, except that they did not have heads. Their thousands of limbs had also been replaced by bone blades that could be retracted freely.
Their abdomens and backs were covered with small holes that could adjust their direction and spurt out strong airflow. Rolling in the air, they broke through the sound barrier and charged towards another team of Atlantean sergeants hovering in the air in the distance. Half of them were sacrificed in the melee of flames, strong light, and bone blades to eliminate the remaining enemies.
On the battlefield, the confrontation of cold weapons would always appear to be extremely bloody. Looking at the last light ball in the 3D picture that was suddenly cut open from the middle by the bone blades that suddenly extended to more than ten meters long, a compatriot who was cut in half at the waist continued to twist his upper body in pain while his thoracic organs were thrown out and fell to the ground together with the blood that was splattered everywhere, Essengug was dumbfounded at first. Then, a grave expression crept upon his face.
"It's not a monster! It's not a monster at all!" The fleet commander became silent for a long time before finally gritting his teeth. "There's no creature that can spray acid rain, dense nitrogen rays, activation, and flames at the same time, and there's no creature that can parasitize hundreds of such aggressive animals in the soft abdominal cavity.
There's no creature that can parasitize hundreds of aggressive animals in the soft abdominal cavity. This, this is a biochemical warship, a biochemical warship, Karim. We've encountered a mature and powerful biological civilization … "
