This news caused a huge reaction in the Garton Star System, and many galactic residents knew that the main show was about to begin. As Godora's archenemy, it was obvious that Dark-star would not let go of such a good opportunity. Now, they had finally completed this missing piece of the puzzle.
There was still no evidence to prove that the Mutation Disaster was Dark-star's scheme, but it was no longer important. As long as Dark-star interfered, Godora's greatest enemy would become their archenemy. The situation was completely different.
Dark-star's first wave of attacks on three calamity planets encountered the local Godora disaster relief teams, and both sides engaged in an intense battle. Because the battle was rushed and the size of the fleet was very small, the three Godora disaster relief teams suffered heavy losses.
Logically speaking, the civilizations of these three planets would not be able to withstand a single blow from Dark-star's fleet. However, Dark-star did not destroy these three planets and seemed to have come to attack the disaster relief teams. They symbolically destroyed the planets and retreated before Godora's reinforcements arrived.
The result of the attack was that seventy to eighty percent of the disaster relief efforts on these three planets were destroyed, and the situation that had been stabilized with much difficulty became chaotic once again.
As a result, Godora raised their alert level and sent out their military fleets to the various calamity planets to act as guards to prevent DarkStar from launching another attack. Even so, DarkStar was unable to let the matter rest.
The second wave of attacks happened very quickly, and the other calamity planets were attacked this time.
It was the same process as before. Although Godora increased the strength of their guards, Dark-star also increased the strength of their attacks. This time, both sides clashed head-on, and a large-scale galactic battle broke out.
Spaceships bombarded each other, and shields flickered. The light from the ion cannons was like a new star being born, and the photon pulse was like a rainbow bridge that traversed the dark universe.
After a huge battle, Dark-star retreated in time again, and it did not evolve into an all-out war. Godora's fleet suffered once again, and the calamity planets that they were protecting suffered the same fate as the first three planets. The disaster relief efforts were destroyed.
Most of the time, Dark-star was only hiding in the dark and plotting against Godora. It had been many years since their last battle, and now that Dark-star had come out in full force, it was no longer a small matter. This immediately put pressure on Godora.
Godora had the absolute advantage in terms of raw power, but Godora's territory was vast, and its fleet was stationed in different bases and colonial planets in the Garton Star System. The free forces that Godora could mobilize were not enough to crush Dark-star. Furthermore, Godora did not know how much military power Dark-star had.
For a long time, the scariest thing about Dark-star was that it hid in the dark and could not be detected in advance. Godora had a headache over this. If they did not know where Dark-star would attack next, they would not be able to come up with a targeted strategy. They could only passively defend, which was very inefficient.
After two rounds of attacks, Dark-star seemed to be targeting the disaster relief team. However, Godora would not withdraw the disaster relief team because of this. Otherwise, it would seem that they were afraid of Dark-star. Godora would not show such an attitude to their enemy. Furthermore, since they had already started the disaster relief, if they gave up halfway, it would be a serious blow to their ruling status and reputation. The situation had not reached that stage yet.
The two sides clashed again after so many years, and the Garton Star System was in an uproar. It immediately became the center of attention in the Colton Star Cluster.
…
"Dark-star will not stop here. They will continue to attack, and we will be attacked sooner or later."
In the meeting room of the Sanctuary, Nagojin explained the situation with a serious face. Among the participants present, only Han Xiao was clear about the situation. Bennett and the leaders of the Six Nations listened attentively to Nagojin's speech.
After Dark-star's first wave of attacks, the situation became serious. A few days ago, a Godora fleet had arrived to protect Blue Star. One hundred and twenty Godora battleships were on standby outside Blue Star's atmosphere, guarding against Dark-star's attack.
Nagojin did not care about the disaster relief or the recruitment of Inhumans. Guarding against Dark-star became his most important task, and he had discussed this with Han Xiao many times over the past few days. The meeting was held to increase the alertness of the Sanctuary and the Six Nations. Of course, the Blue Star Civilization did not have much ability to resist in a galactic war. Nagojin mainly wanted them to be mentally prepared so that they could take refuge immediately when the enemy attacked.
"As we have to provide disaster relief, we can only passively defend, and the situation is not good for us. Dark-star's goal is most likely to make use of the weakness of Godora's scattered forces to attack Godora's forces one by one. We do not know what Dark-star's next target will be," Nagojin said with a deep voice.
Han Xiao nodded. This was indeed Dark-star's goal, but it was only one part of the plan. Dark-star's Mutation Disaster Plan was to weaken Godora's strength, not only in terms of military strength but also in terms of all aspects of Godora's rule. Attacking a calamity planet would not destroy the low-level civilizations on the planet. If the civilizations were destroyed, Godora would not need to provide disaster relief, and Dark-star would need to delay Godora.
Bennett and the others had grave expressions. They could not panic, and the problem was very serious. There was no point in panicking.
"How do you plan to deal with it?" Bennett asked.
"The War Bureau will deploy troops from the other Star Zones, and the second and third batches of reinforcements are on their way. The higher-ups want us to continue our work and maintain our vigilance, as well as speed up the disaster relief …"
Nagojin frowned. In truth, the higher-ups had the intention of forcefully moving the refugees from the calamity planet. However, this action would not have a good effect, and there were many hidden dangers. They would not be able to discover if the Mutation Source had followed the refugees into the spaceship. After considering various factors, this plan was temporarily shelved, and the War Bureau decided to face Dark-star head-on.
Some of the more radical officers even felt that this was an opportunity. Dark-star had been hiding all this time, and now that they had finally revealed themselves, they could lure Dark-star's fleet out and attack the enemy. Thus, the War Bureau's decision was to deploy troops.
"Thus, we can only wait …" Nagojin's tone was grave.
In truth, he had hidden an order. If they realized that they were not a match for Dark-star's fleet, the higher-ups would request them to strategically avoid the battle and protect their own forces. If the calamity planet was destroyed by Dark-star, Godora could only express its regret.
Han Xiao shook his head. Dark-star's attack order was random, and he could not be sure. Even if he knew the overall plan of Dark-star, he had to block the enemy first.
"If Dark-star's fleet attacks, I will have to participate in the battle as well. This time, it will not be a ground battle but a space battle …"
Han Xiao sighed. The danger of a space battle was far greater than a ground battle. It would not be a battle with Supers but a battle with a fleet, and he would also feel quite a bit of pressure.
After the meeting ended, Han Xiao gathered all the officers of the Mercenary Group and requested them to be on high alert. He also ordered them to store all the resources in the warehouse of the spaceship in the secret underground base of the Sanctuary.
The spaceship he rented was a traveling model, and its combat power was not strong. He was not prepared to use these rented spaceships in battle. Not only would they not be of any use, it would be a huge loss if they were destroyed. He had other uses for these spaceships.
Thus, the only battleships the Mercenary Group could use were the Blacklight Stealth. Although there were not many of them, they were of high quality.
The Sanctuary also mobilized to disperse the refugees and reduce the population density. They also built some simple defensive measures. With limited technology, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate. Although the refugees did not know what was going on, they all obeyed orders. However, the atmosphere in the Sanctuary gradually became tense.
The players still did not know what they would encounter. Han Xiao still remembered that every time they were attacked in his previous life, the overall progress of the Main Storyline Mission would decrease greatly. With the current strength of the players, it was very difficult for them to be of any use in a space battle.
"It would be best if Dark-star did not come." Han Xiao sighed.
…
A hidden Dark-star fleet moved slowly in the universe. This was a highly mobile armed force. The main ship was not a Dark-star mothership, but a Berserker class command ship called "Blood Gore". More than two hundred battleships surrounded the main ship, and most of them were assault ships with ferocious firepower.
In the busy central control room of the battleship, the fleet commander Nakapu had his hands behind his back as he silently looked at the star map projection. His eyes were emotionless, so cold that no trace of humanity could be seen.
Not long ago, he led the fleet to launch two attacks and annihilated hundreds of Godora battleships. His losses were not even half of that number.
Nakapu's fleet was Dark-star's elite force, and their combat power was strong. According to the orders issued by the upper echelons of Dark-star, he was leading the fleet to the next target.
"How long more until the destination?" Nakapu asked calmly.
"Seventeen hours and twenty-six minutes," the observer replied.
The green three-dimensional projection displayed on the virtual sand table was the star map of Star Zone 9. A planet was marked with a red light, and it was the next target.
Blue Star!
