The battle reached its climax right from the start.
Outside the porthole, Godora's fleet, mercenary fleet, and Dark-star's fleet were firing at each other. The light from the cannons caused the entire universe to be filled with all sorts of colors, and the dazzling colors brought about death.
The laser cannons pierced through the armor of the spaceships one after another, turning the people inside into ashes.
As Degulish did not give the order, the Dark-star fleet lost their commander and became a pile of loose sand. After a while, under the orders of the other Dark-star upper echelons, they began to organize themselves and try to break out of the encirclement.
Unfortunately, as the initial order was not passed down in time, the Dark-star fleet missed the best opportunity and suffered heavy losses. Now that they were advancing against the cannons, it was as though they were stuck in a swamp, and their movement speed was extremely slow.
"From the looks of it, I'm afraid we don't even have to do anything."
Han Xiao looked at the battlefield and shook his head.
If Godora and the mercenary fleet worked together, they would be able to crush the six motherships of DarkStar. It was very likely that they would be able to turn this DarkStar fleet into wreckage floating in the universe without even entering the battle phase.
The Black Star Corps' mission was to be in charge of the battle, and they did not have the chance to do anything at this moment.
The Dark-star fleet gradually showed signs of defeat, and a portion of the Dark-star frigates became deserters. They wanted to get rid of the heavy motherships and escape, but they were turned into fireworks midway.
Han Xiao pondered for a while. Slacking off was not in line with his goal of building up the reputation of the Black Star Corps, so he was prepared to take the initiative to create space for himself.
"Risda, are you able to control the mothership?"
"Yes."
"You will control the mothership and do a short distance jump to the nearest planet. I will convince Godora to let you out."
As he spoke, Han Xiao contacted the War Bureau through his private number.
"I'm Black Star. I'm preparing to control a mothership to land on the planet's surface and engage in a ground battle. There's a Dark-star deputy leader on that mothership. This is a chance to capture him alive and seize a Dark-star mothership at the same time."
Degulish was also the target of the [Godora's Ally] mission. Capturing him alive and handing him over to Godora would give the same rewards as killing him. Furthermore, handing over a mothership would also give a huge reward.
Godora had come prepared. This battle could be the last struggle of Dark-star, and Han Xiao wanted to increase the mission rating as much as possible.
The War Bureau had been paying attention to the battle, and at this point, the upper echelons had no reason to doubt whether Han Xiao was friend or foe. Capturing Degulish alive and obtaining a mothership was very useful, and after some discussion, the upper echelons decided to try Han Xiao's idea. They had the confidence to control the entire situation and dared to take risks. They quickly gave the order to the fleet commander.
The contents of this order confused the fleet commander, but as a soldier, he was used to obeying orders and quickly did as he was told.
The Dark-star mothership under Risda's control broke away from the formation and began to accelerate. The firepower attacking it became sparse.
The other motherships did not receive such treatment and were bombarded with even more ferocious attacks. They could only watch as Risda's mothership moved further and further away.
Before the passengers on the mothership could even react, it had already entered hyperdrive and arrived at the nearest planet. It was the desolate planet that Godora's fleet had been hiding in.
Boom!
The mothership crashed into the atmosphere and crashed into the ground, creating a crater. Smoke and dust shot up into the sky like a fountain.
The Dark-star members in the mothership were all dizzy from the crash.
Degulish was the only Calamity Grade Super on the mothership. His body was strong, and he was not injured. At this moment, his face was filled with shock.
When the communication had been cut off, he had already had his suspicions. When the mothership moved on its own, he had guessed that the mothership had been controlled by the enemy.
It was no wonder the enemy had found out about their whereabouts. Even their mothership was the enemy's!
When did the enemy make a move? Degulish was both shocked and enraged.
The news of the mothership crashing into the planet was transmitted to the mercenary fleet, and Gureja quickly contacted Han Xiao.
"Black Star, it's your turn to act."
"Leave it to us."
Han Xiao nodded.
The Black Star Stealth turned around, and more than twenty spaceships of Black Star followed behind. They left the formation of the alliance fleet and quickly entered hyperdrive. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the planet where the mothership had crashed.
Degulish and the other Dark-star members were all trapped on the planet's surface. The ground battle was the best stage for the players to display their skills.
"Land and prepare to release the mercenaries!"
Han Xiao decisively ordered, and the transport spaceship slowly landed on the planet's surface.
The players in the spaceship came to the cabin door and waited. They were all ready to charge out at any moment.
There should be tens of thousands of Dark-star members on the mothership, and there was no lack of Grade B Supers among them. Targets that were too strong would naturally be dealt with by the officers. The players only needed to deal with the ordinary soldiers and let them fight the monsters on their own.
At this moment, Hella frowned and asked.
"What about us?"
Han Xiao turned around and thought for a moment. "You guys will participate in the battle this time as well."
Hella and Aurora would not die so easily. Furthermore, they would familiarize themselves with the feeling of galactic battle sooner or later, and they needed to train. This was a safer chance to try it out, and Han Xiao did not plan to stop Hella from participating this time.
Hearing this, Hella could feel Han Xiao's trust. Only then did her brows loosen, and she silently nodded.
She did not like being treated as a target to be protected, and she always hoped to be of use.
The densely packed Dark-star warriors on the ground were on alert, guarding near the mothership. The mercenary spaceships carrying the players formed a circular formation and surrounded the group of Dark-star warriors from all directions.
Chi!
The cabin doors opened one after another.
The players walked out of the spaceships one after another, and hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the tens of thousands of Dark-star warriors.
It was a sea of people!
The BlackLight Stealth hovered in the air, and Han Xiao jumped down. He did not need the standard landing of a superhero. Mechanical Force surrounded his body, and when he was about to touch the ground, he created a magnetic field in the opposite direction. The momentum of the fall disappeared, and he floated more than ten centimeters above the ground.
"Black Star! It's you again! "
Degulish gritted his teeth.
Han Xiao was expressionless as he slowly said, "Last time, the three of you surrounded me. Now, it's just you alone. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one will come and save you."
Now that he was a Calamity like Degulish, the difference in strength was greatly reduced. If the two of them fought one on one, there would only be one outcome for Degulish.
He would die!
Hearing this, a tinge of nervousness flashed through Degulish's eyes. He was indeed wary of Han Xiao's toughness and hurriedly tried to think of a solution. However, the more he thought about it, the more despair he felt. He could not think of any way to escape. His fleet could not even protect itself, and no one would come and help him.
The only advantage he had was that while it would be difficult to kill Black Star, Black Star was only a Grade B, and he might be able to delay him for a long time …
Weng!
Just as Degulish was thinking about this, Han Xiao's entire body shot out lightning, and compressed orbs appeared one after another. This was the first time he had used his full strength after entering the Calamity Grade. Dense energy shot out in all directions, releasing energy waves that belonged to a Calamity Grade!
Sensing energy waves of the same level, Degulish's expression changed drastically.
"You … you have also reached the Calamity Grade?"
When they had fought not too long ago, Black Star had only been a Grade B!
How could he be so fast?
Without another word, Degulish abandoned the Dark-star soldiers behind him and turned to run, turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
What a joke. Before Black Star had reached the Calamity Grade, he was already unbeatable. Now that he had entered the Calamity Grade, how could they fight him?
"I'll chase after him. You guys deal with the Dark-star army."
At this time, the new mechanical suit had not been completed yet. Han Xiao put on the backup mechanical suit and activated the propulsion module. Like a bolt of lightning, he chased after Degulish, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Not long later, earth-shattering sounds of battle could be heard from afar. It was as though missiles had been fired, and even the ground was shaking slightly.
This was like a signal, and a chaotic battle erupted!
The Dark-star soldiers retaliated, and the hundreds of thousands of players did not back down, charging forward from all directions.
Boom boom boom!
All sorts of abilities appeared one after another, and countless cannons shot into the sky. The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and both sides clashed, their formations intertwining.
The Dark-star soldiers were all Black Star soldiers, and their average strength was higher. The players fell like wheat being cut down.
However, as the battle continued, the expressions of the Dark-star soldiers also changed. At the start, they were filled with fighting spirit, but they soon became tired. After fighting for a long time, they gradually became lifeless. Finally, the Dark-star soldiers realized that the players were undying.
The enemies would not die, and no matter how they killed them, it would be useless. The moment the Dark-star soldiers realized this, their mentality collapsed.
What was the point of fighting then?
The Dark-star soldiers gradually lost the upper hand, and tens of thousands of them could no longer hold the line. They were swallowed up piece by piece, and not long after, the entire Dark-star army was drowned by the players.
Ashes, who had a destructive Esper ability, was not here, and the players did not have a counter.
The Dark-star officers that were too strong were all killed by Herlous and the others. The rest of the Dark-star soldiers were no match for the hundreds of thousands of players and fell under the torrent of players.
…
Tens of minutes later …
The chaotic battlefield gradually quietened down, and only a few screams could be heard. The battle was coming to an end, and the ground was littered with the corpses of the Dark-star soldiers. The remaining Dark-star soldiers had surrendered, and they were tied up and thrown to the side.
The players happily cleaned up the battlefield, and the equipment dropped by the Dark-star soldiers were everywhere. From time to time, players would fight for the equipment, and Herlous did not stop them. According to the rules of the mercenary industry, this kind of loot belonged to the mercenaries.
"I wonder how Han Xiao is doing?"
Hella wiped the blood off her face and walked to Herlous' side.
She had participated in the battle, and it was scary but not dangerous. She had personally experienced the strength of a normal Black Star Warrior.
The bodies of the tens of thousands of Dark-star soldiers that had died all had traces of dark red air flow that she absorbed.
The recently dead creatures could provide her with energy, and Hella could increase the strength of her Esper ability through large-scale slaughter. In her previous life, she had slaughtered many races to increase her strength through this method. Now, she was not so radical, so naturally, she would not actively choose this method.
"Captain was able to deal with three Grade A's in the past, so there won't be any accidents."
Herlous was not worried at all. He took out his communicator and contacted Han Xiao.
"Captain, have you settled it?"
"What a coincidence, I just finished the battle. Wait for me, I'll go back now."
…
After hanging up the call, Han Xiao looked at Degulish, who was not far away.
At this time, Degulish was panting heavily, and his condition was extremely bad. He did not have any stamina left as he glared at Han Xiao.
The two of them chased each other around, and within a radius of a few hundred miles, there were traces of their battle. The ground was filled with countless craters, and there were even a few places that had become cliff-like terrain.
Han Xiao wantonly displayed the strength of a Calamity Grade Super, enjoying the feeling of destruction.
The shockwaves of a Calamity Grade Super's battle could easily change the terrain.
Degulish's punches and kicks were enough to crack the ground, but he was unable to break through Han Xiao's terrifying tankiness.
Han Xiao now also possessed the strength of a Calamity Grade Super, and Degulish was unable to crush him like when he had attacked Blue Star. Being tied down by Han Xiao, he could neither win nor escape. He was in an extremely helpless situation. If he did not resist, he would be beaten up, and if he resisted, he would inevitably exhaust his energy. Furthermore, he would not be able to injure Black Star.
A high-intensity battle was extremely exhausting, and as his energy was depleted, Degulish's personal combat ability continued to decrease. Han Xiao's attacks were not easy to endure either, causing him more and more injuries, and it was like a rolling snowball.
Han Xiao was currently the most proficient in a battle of attrition. Although the Mech Legion had yet to recover, and his equipment had yet to be updated, with his talents and rare skills, he was able to squeeze Degulish dry.
"Cough cough …"
Degulish coughed a few times, gritting his teeth as he mustered up the energy that he had just recovered.
"Stop fighting. Do you still have the energy to fight?"
Han Xiao was helpless. As expected of a Calamity Grade Pugilist, his body was outstanding, and even if he had exhausted all his energy, he would still be able to recover within a few breaths.
Seeing that Degulish was still trying to gather his energy, Han Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Do you know why your whereabouts were exposed?"
Degulish's face changed drastically, and his movements froze. The energy that he had just recovered dissipated once more.
"Could it be …"
"Before you attacked Blue Star, I had already infiltrated your mothership. It was when you attacked Planet Golden Gate … and the one who provided Godora with information and instigated this battle was me."
Degulish's face turned ashen.
At this moment, his communicator rang once more. This time, it was a message from Gureja.
"Black Star, the battle on my side is almost over. All the Dark-star motherships have been destroyed, and only a small portion of Dark-star members are left. They used the gaps created by the motherships to escape in all directions. Godora is currently chasing after them, and we do not know if there are any upper echelons of Dark-star among them. We are preparing to head over to reinforce you. Have you settled things on your side? "
"En, the mission is complete. Come over."
The complete victory on the battlefield was within his expectations. The information provided by Risda was extremely detailed. Not only did he know the location of Dark-star, but he also knew the number of Dark-star troops. Godora had sufficient time to ambush them.
Godora controlled an entire Star System. With such a huge advantage, if they were still evenly matched in the end, it would be too embarrassing.
Without the ability to hide, Dark-star would not be able to defend against an all-out attack from a Star System civilization. If not for their powerful stealth ability, Dark-star would have been destroyed long ago.
And what Han Xiao had provided was the information that Godora needed the most.
Once a rat hiding in the dark was exposed, it would be destroyed.
It could be said that he was the main reason for Dark-star's destruction.
Han Xiao did not hide anything from Degulish and ended the call.
Degulish fell to the ground and no longer resisted. He closed his eyes in pain and choked with sobs.
