An enormous black iron space station was floating in space. Its outer armor was equipped with rows of satellite defense cannons, and it was surrounded by nine armed satellite fortresses.
T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station was the target of Section Zero's attack.
At this moment, inside the base station, the upper echelons, including Tamaria, were in a conference room, participating in a remote meeting.
The projection showed the figure of the remote battle commander, Joad, speaking in a solemn tone.
"According to reliable intelligence, eleven days ago, Black Star, who had been silent for two months, left the headquarters with his fleet. We believe that he will return to the battlefield soon. All commanders present must pay attention to Black Star's movements."
This meeting was for all the Bloodshed Land commanders in the West Wind, Chaida, and Kaya Star Systems. Black Star's return to the battlefield was the reason for this meeting. After the battle between Black Star and the eight Vanguard Officials, Joad placed a lot of importance on Han Xiao.
Although one person could not influence the entire battle, Black Star was one of the most dangerous high-level combatants in Section Zero. His deeds were shocking, and Joad felt that it was necessary to release a notice for him. Even if this was making a mountain out of a molehill, it was better than not preparing at all.
"Based on the recent rumors and the experience of him fighting with the eight Vanguard Officials, I have compiled a report on Black Star. I will send it to all of you in a while," Joad said.
He believed that knowing the enemy was the key to victory. Purple Crystal would definitely put Black Star in an important position. This report on Black Star would allow every commander to understand their opponent. If they were attacked, they would know how to deal with Black Star.
The meeting ended quickly. The T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station commander's communicator received a message. He glanced at it for a moment before Tamaria strode to his side and snatched the communicator away from him. She began to read the message on her own.
The base station commander was helpless. He was not a direct member of Bloodshed Land but a talent recruited later. Tamaria's position in the base station was higher than his, and this green-skinned woman was not only the captain of more than ten high-level combatants but also the supervisor. Other than listening to orders during battle, she did not care about him at all. The base station commander was already used to Tamaria's rudeness.
Tamaria glanced at it and sneered. She threw the communicator away.
"And here I was wondering how powerful Black Star was. It turns out that he's so easy to deal with …"
The base station commander picked up the communicator and browsed through it. He immediately understood what Tamaria meant.
Joad had even included the idea of dealing with Black Star in the information.
The result of the battle between Black Star and the eight Vanguard Officials was indeed shocking. However, upon careful analysis, Black Star's weakness was also very obvious. He had been suppressed by the eight Vanguard Officials throughout the entire battle and had only managed to survive by relying on his indestructible body. Apart from that, Black Star's lethality was very limited and could not cause too much trouble.
Although it was rumored that Black Star had recently learned psionic energy, he was not the only Mechanic in the entire universe who knew about psionic energy. It was far from being unsolvable.
Furthermore, strategic psionic energy weapons were equivalent to nuclear weapons in the galaxy. With the restrictions of the three Universal Civilizations, even Star Cluster Civilizations would not use them unless they had no other choice, let alone in this secret war. Unless Black Star wanted to go to the military court of the three Universal Civilizations and enjoy a prison sentence of more than a hundred years, he would not use the violent Primordial Psionic Energy everywhere.
According to various factors, Joad had written down a general method to deal with Black Star. As long as they sent one or two senior Calamity Grade Calamities and three to five ordinary Calamity Grade Calamities to destroy Black Star's Mech Legion, they would be able to make Black Star lose his threat and not be of much use in the war.
According to the methods of the various organizations in Section Zero to prevent the loss of their high-level combatants, as long as they killed Black Star, the threat of the other Calamity Grade Supers in Section Zero would be greatly reduced.
No wonder Tamaria looked down on him. Black Star is not as difficult to deal with as I thought … This thought flashed through the base commander's mind.
"However, Black Star's body is great." Tamaria revealed the fangs in her mouth, and her tone was filled with passion, desire, and cruelty. "I wonder if I can obtain his abilities if I eat him."
The customs of Tamaria's race were very barbaric and bloody. They believed that by eating the flesh of the enemy, they would be able to obtain the enemy's strength. Eating a strong enemy would make them stronger. Tamaria was drooling over Han Xiao's body and had a desire to feast. She licked her lips.
Hum!
At this moment, the base station suddenly sounded an alarm. Everyone's expression changed, and they hurriedly returned to their posts.
"Reporting to the commander, Stronghold Planet No.4 is under attack. Enemy, requesting reinforcements from other strongholds. This is the data of the enemy ship from the radar." An observer immediately reported the situation upon seeing the commander return.
T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station was the core that maintained the wormholes of the twelve strongholds. All reinforcements had to be reported to the base station, and the base station's mission was to coordinate the entire situation.
The base station commander took a quick look at the report and said, "Which strongholds responded?"
"No.1, No.6, No.9, and No.12."
"Open support channel No.12. That's it." The base station commander did not hesitate.
The operation team nodded and began to operate the channel.
Through the wide-angle projection porthole of the space station, thousands of blue light beams shot out from two special devices in the base station, forming a circle of dark blue wormholes on the left and right. The space energy at the edge of the wormholes fluctuated and slowly expanded before stabilizing. The two wormholes faced each other from afar, and their positions and sizes were aligned.
The next moment, the wormhole on the left spat out a dense stream of hyperdrive light. It was the reinforcements that rushed into the wormhole on the right and arrived at their destination in an instant. The time taken for the reinforcements to arrive was less than thirty seconds.
"It's a success." The base station commander nodded.
However, before he could catch his breath, three of the twelve stronghold planets on the observation interface turned red, sounding the alarm of an enemy attack!
"Hmm? The enemy is planning an attack! "
The base station commander's expression changed, and he quickly finished arranging the reinforcements. He then ordered loudly, "T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station, enter combat state. Activate the armed satellite fortress and release all the fleets. The enemy might appear at any time!"
This was a common example of an attack on a Hyperdrive Base Station. The base station commander's reaction was very fast, and he could tell that Section Zero's target was their base station. However, this was an open scheme because the enemy had the initiative, and the only way to break it was to fight the enemy head-on.
Section Zero had endured humiliation for two months, and their strategy of spreading their forces had finally paid off. They had chosen T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station as the target of their counterattack precisely because of the limited number of troops in this area and the fact that the long-range stargate had not been built yet.
The entire base station was immediately mobilized. Tamaria narrowed her eyes and stood up. Not only was she not nervous, she even had an excited look on her face.
"Great, someone is finally here to fight. My bones have not moved for too long, and they are about to rust."
Very quickly, more strongholds were attacked, and they called for reinforcements. The base station commander controlled all the troops, but even though he knew that this was a scheme, a large number of troops were still restrained.
Just as everyone was feeling nervous, the radar of the base station rang with an ear-piercing alarm that swept through the entire space station.
"Warning! Warning! A large number of unknown targets are detected approaching! "
Everyone looked at the porthole. The porthole's field of vision had been adjusted to over-the-horizon mode, and the scene in the distance was displayed. They could see streams of hyperdrive light stopping one after another, revealing Section Zero's fleet.
"They're here!" The base station commander clenched his fists.
"They're finally here!" Tamaria clenched her fists and walked out with large strides.
…
T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station was in sight, and the armed satellite fortress was glowing. It was already in an activated state.
"The enemy's fleet is already prepared. Humph, looks like they've already guessed our strategy."
Morred looked at the long-range projection and did not think much of it. He did not think that such a simple strategy would be able to fool the enemy. It was fine as long as it was effective.
"Time is limited. All formations, charge!"
After the order was given, the fleet accelerated and charged forward. Both sides locked onto each other through their radars and opened fire at each other. The high-energy particle cannons shot back and forth, crisscrossing each other. The bright light instantly covered the dark space of the universe. The colorful light was pregnant with death in the silent brilliance.
The nine armed satellite fortresses acted as the nine vertices, forming a huge irregular protective shield to protect the base station from being attacked.
A total of three spearhead units attacked the base station, and reinforcements appeared from two other directions. They immediately dispersed their firepower, and the pressure on Morred's fleet was greatly reduced.
Han Xiao's fleet also charged together with Morred and blended in with the fleet. The light blue electromagnetic shield of the battleship blocked the densely packed ion cannons time and time again, creating ripples in the shield.
At this time, the two sides were very far away from each other and had not reached the stage of close combat yet. Han Xiao suddenly received a communication from Morred.
"Black Star, do you see the nine armed satellite fortresses? That's the generator of the base station's shield. This shield is very strong, and we don't have time to slowly break through it. I've discussed with the commanders of the other two units. We're going to send a team each to land on the armed satellite fortresses and blow up at least one armed satellite fortress!"
Morred spoke very quickly. What he meant was that blowing up one armed satellite fortress would create a gap in the shield. Before the other armed satellite fortresses could change positions to repair the gap, the main force would be able to seize the opportunity to rush in and attack the base station. Only by destroying the base station would the operation be considered a success.
They did not have much time. In this operation, the diversion and feint units were the largest because only by putting enough pressure on the strongholds could they draw away reinforcements and restrain the forces of the twelve strongholds. This way, not many troops could come to support the hyperdrive base station. Therefore, they had to destroy the base station while the enemy's forces were scattered.
"No problem. My teammates don't need to follow me. I'll act on my own."
The tactical mission on the interface changed, and the target became to blow up one armed satellite fortress.
Han Xiao nodded and agreed. He let Risda take control of the spaceship and jumped out of the cabin. He activated the Mountain Ape mechanical suit and entered interstellar navigation mode. He drew a blue arc in the air and avoided the area of the crossfire. He cut in from the side and rushed toward one of the armed satellite fortresses.
The other teammates took the spaceship to attack another armed satellite fortress. The other two units also sent out their own small teams. Han Xiao acted alone. As long as he landed on the armed satellite fortress, it would not take long for him to destroy it.
I'm a smaller target and more agile. Plus, with my reputation, it's easier for me to restrain the enemy's high-level combatants if I act alone. Han Xiaoxin thought to himself.
The burden of flying at high speed was not worth mentioning to him. In his field of vision, the originally small armed satellite fortress gradually 'enlarged', and he could clearly see the mechanical structure on the surface of the armed satellite fortress. Very soon, the fleet guarding the base station discovered him. A portion of the cannons turned around and fired at him.
The high energy ion cannons closed in on him time and time again, leaving light scars on his retina. The built-in tactical screen constantly reminded him of the direction of the high energy reaction. Han Xiao was fully focused on dodging the cannons. From time to time, he would use the Hovering Shield Shuttle to form a psionic shield to block the stray cannons.
Not long after, Han Xiao rushed into the defense line of the base station fleet and dodged among the enemy spaceships.
His brain was extremely active, processing countless data. Time seemed to be very long, but it also seemed to be very fast. Han Xiao did not have the time to care about the outside world. He focused on dealing with the cannons coming from all directions. After some time, the pressure on him suddenly lightened!
Han Xiao looked back and saw that he had already left the defense line behind him. He had unknowingly broken through the entire line of defense. In the distance, Morred and the other two vanguard units had already exchanged fire with the base station fleet at close range. They had indirectly divided the enemy's attention and reduced the density of the firepower that Han Xiao encountered.
"My teammates are finally giving me some help this time."
Han Xiao's eyes lit up. He did not waste any more time and went straight to the satellite fortress in front of him.
The satellite fortress was spherical in shape and looked like an asteroid. Its size was about a few hundredths of the size of the Blue Star. It sounded quite small, but when looking at it from a close distance, Han Xiao felt that it was not much different from a planet.
The blue shield blocked him outside. Han Xiao reached out and pressed his hand on the shield. The shield neutralizer operated at full power. The shield within a hundred meters in diameter began to ripple at a high frequency. The light dimmed, and the energy level dropped. Estimating that it had reached a critical point, Han Xiao's other arm turned into a psionic cannon and fired at close range!
The blue light exploded, and a hole with a diameter of thirty to forty meters appeared on the shield. Compared to the entire shield, this hole was as inconspicuous as a sand pit on a planet. However, it was large enough for Han Xiao to enter.
Han Xiao glanced around. The edge of the hole was shrinking and repairing itself. He summoned more than twenty Army Boxes and rushed in before the hole was repaired.
This satellite fortress had a simple man-made atmosphere that was provided to the maintenance personnel. Han Xiao quickly landed, and the sound of the wind could be heard.
Pa da!
Stepping on the ground, Han Xiao looked around. He was surrounded by mechanical surfaces that were cold, lifeless, and filled with the hardcore charm of machinery.
"Warning, hum! Five high-energy reaction sources detected! "
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed as he turned around to look.
Five enemies with the aura of 'I'm a Calamity Grade' flew over from the horizon and landed not far away with a bang. The leader was wearing a heavy mechanical suit and carrying a dark gold mechanical axe.
"Clatter —"
This person's helmet opened, revealing a ferocious appearance and short blonde hair. It was the person Morred had warned him about, the Bloodshed Land Adjudicator in charge of T-04 Hyperdrive Base Station, Tamaria.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Tamaria stared at Han Xiao and revealed a ferocious smile.
When she had discovered Black Star at the frontline, she had been overjoyed. Based on Han Xiao's charging route, she had brought a few people to this satellite in advance to wait for Han Xiao's arrival.
According to her duty, Black Star should have been dealt with by her, and Tamaria could not wait to fight with Han Xiao.
"Only five people?" Han Xiao glanced at them and said, "All your Vanguard Officials failed to kill me. You're underestimating me too much. All fifteen Calamity Grade Supers from your base station are only able to give me some pressure."
"Ha, Joad has already seen through your weakness. We have no intention of killing you. Not to mention fifteen people, even five of us are enough to stall you. What can you do?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao thought to himself that it was indeed so. After the previous battle, Bloodshed Land would not send a large number of people to try and kill him. Instead, they chose to stall him.
Tamaria licked her lips, and her bloodthirsty desire continued to surge. "Your body is amazing. Just you wait, I will eat your flesh, chew your bones, suck your blood dry, devour your bone marrow, and eat every cell in your body. I heard that your recovery ability is very strong. I hope you can let me eat until I'm full."
Han Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. If it was anyone else, these words might have been used as a threat, but he could tell that Tamaria was not threatening him. She really wanted to do so.
This woman wants to eat me?
How perverted … but I don't like it!
Rumble —
Right at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the surface armor of the armed satellite fortress cracked open. Multiple turrets rose up like a steel forest, and the muzzles all turned to face Han Xiao.
Thousands of Thousand Beast Soldiers ran out from the ground and surrounded Han Xiao from afar.
This was the armed satellite fortress' defense against enemies on the surface.
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by enemies everywhere he looked!
Tamaria closed her armor and let out a muffled roar.
"Before this war ends, don't even think about going anywhere!"
