Kant Star System, Star Zone 4.
An enormous fleet was waiting in the void of space. Its size was comparable to the Purple Crystal Army or the Klent Supreme Fleet. Both of them were the official fleets of Star Cluster Civilizations, and two enormous flagships that were dozens of kilometers long were the core of the fleet. They were built with Purple Crystal's military technology, and their exterior was made of a super polygonal dark purple prism crystal that looked like a man-made purple diamond. Blue-gold energy patterns flickered within the crystal, and psionic energy flowed through the vessels to cover the flagships, giving them extremely strong defensive capabilities. They could also shoot out super compressed psionic energy annihilation rays from every corner of the flagships at any time.
The Star Diamond Flagship was the signature model of the Amethyst Civilization. It was built with the Gemini Star as the furnace and the Amethyst Civilization's specialty material called 'Dark Stream Crystal'. It was produced in the Purple Crystal No.3 Warship Factory and was used as the war weapon of Section Zero.
Every time Han Xiao saw these two huge things, he almost drooled. They contained the crystallization of a Star Cluster Civilization's engineering technology, but it was a pity that these flagships were not for sale. Furthermore, the Amethyst Civilization's technology was more focused on crystal magic and rune magic. They did not have much mechanical technology and were not compatible with him.
After a long distance hyperdrive, Han Xiao brought the Black Star Corps fleet to the gathering point. There were already millions of battleships waiting for orders, and they were all the troops of Section Zero. After ten years of war, Purple Crystal had invested a large amount of resources and used the military factories to support Section Zero, causing the size of every member's fleet to expand greatly.
The Black Star Corps' flagship was a spherical armed satellite base. Based on its appearance, Han Xiao had given it a name that he felt was very appropriate, 'Pinball'. This was a satellite fortress that Han Xiao had modified. It was smaller in size and had increased mobility and combat capabilities. It had a more stable dark energy reactor as its core, and the cost was within a controllable range. According to Han Xiao's estimation, it was about the same as the flagships of an ordinary galactic civilization.
This blueprint originated from the Bloodshed Land's armed satellite fortress. Han Xiao had developed his soul talent and made many improved versions of it. After all, Han Xiao was more focused on Virtual Technology and did not specialize in building super-large machines like the armed forces. He could not gamble with the blueprints of super-large machines. Thus, it was easier for him to reverse engineer the actual machines.
Psionic energy was still too dangerous. For the time being, Han Xiao only used psionic energy on high-grade mechanical weapons. For a large fortress like this, he used a more stable energy source. Dark energy was everywhere in the universe, and it was also an application of [Abnormal State Energy].
The leaders of all the participating organizations were gathered on a Star Diamond Grade flagship called SS Eternity for a battle meeting. As the leader of the Black Star Corps, Han Xiao naturally had to participate. At this time, he was in a meeting room with more than a hundred people, listening to the long-range commander of the Amethyst Civilization talk non-stop.
The virtual screen showed the distribution of the Bloodshed Land strongholds in the Kant Star System. Every Hyperdrive Base Station was connected to three to fourteen planet strongholds, forming a rapid support system. The Bloodshed Land had a total of eleven base stations in the Kant Star System. The 2D map was in the shape of a fan, with the first base station at the edge of the Star System spreading inwards.
The enemy's fan-shaped territory could be roughly divided into three layers. They were the six weakest outer base stations, the four middle base stations in the buffer zone, and the bridgehead base station. This time, the large-scale counterattack was from the outside all the way to the core base station, chasing away all the enemies.
"… Our intelligence shows that the Bloodshed Land already knows of our actions and has raised their alert. We will be facing a head-on battle …"
Han Xiao was not paying too much attention. He had already received this information from Ralph and was casually sizing up the people around him to pass the time.
The various leaders were present, including the strongest organizations such as the Arc Light Organization, the Hero Group, and the New Phylen Revolutionary Army. They were once the trump cards of Section Zero, but now, the leader of Section Zero was the Black Star Corps. These organizations were all inferior to him.
At this time, the commander said, "The Bloodshed Land has mobilized reinforcements. Hardaway will be joining this battle. Your Excellency Black Star, we will be relying on you to hold the fort here."
Han Xiao returned to his senses and nodded. The other leaders also nodded at him.
He was now the strongest fighter in Section Zero, and he would be in charge of the entire organization. The strongest enemy would be dealt with by him. In terms of high-level combatants, all the organizations present relied on him. This was also one of the important reasons why the Black Star Corps had such an outstanding position in Section Zero.
"According to our intelligence, Hardaway and the reinforcements are defending the innermost bridgehead and are building all sorts of powerful defensive facilities. They want to use the outer base stations to delay our progress and buy time to strengthen the defenses …"
"Can't we directly attack the enemy's bridgehead?" one of the leaders asked.
The commander said with a deep voice, "The Kant Star System borders the Kaya Star System. After the Bloodshed Land broke through the Star System border blockade, their forces spread to the Kant Star System. Thus, the Bloodshed Land's stronghold is behind the bridgehead. If we attack the bridgehead directly, we will have to occupy it. At that time, we will be attacked from both the Kaya Star System and the Kant Star System. Thus, we will start from the outermost periphery to eliminate the enemy's strongholds.
The commander looked around and continued. "Because we have to hurry, we have to eliminate all the outer base stations as soon as possible. The enemy is the weakest at the outer base stations, and we have the absolute advantage. We will split our forces into six groups and attack the six outer base stations. The specific distribution is as follows …"
After listening to the commander, Han Xiao realized that the Black Star Corps would be leading a few troops to attack a stronger base station.
He suddenly said, "I have a suggestion."
"Please speak." The commander's attitude was very respectful.
Han Xiao pointed at the star map. "This smallest base station is only connected to three planet strongholds. It's too troublesome to send a team there. Leave it to the Black Star Corps. I'll take some people there and eliminate it."
The commander hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I'll take back this portion of our forces."
He had a lot of trust in Han Xiao's strength. However, it was just three planets, and there was not a single Calamity Grade. Black Star alone could deal with them. The enemy did not have any experts at the outer base stations, and it would be a waste of resources to have an expert like Black Star in the middle.
"Then, the reward …"
"Don't worry. It will definitely satisfy you." The commander nodded. Purple Crystal would not be stingy with the Black Star Corps taking on additional missions.
Han Xiao smiled. "I don't want much. Just give me seven thousand tons of Dark Crystal and two thousand tons of String Alloy."
Rare materials could be used to build many elite mechanical soldiers. Compared to money, Han Xiao preferred faction specialties as a reward.
"I'll report it." The commander's mouth twitched.
…
After returning to Pinball, Han Xiao called Herlous over and told him about the plan to split up.
Lagi would lead the majority of the troops to participate in the joint attack on the other side, while Han Xiao would lead a large group of people to attack the smallest base station alone.
"Do you need to bring people?" Herlous was confused. "You can destroy three planet strongholds by yourself, right?"
"I plan to bring Sylvia and Marian, as well as a portion of the Undead Army. The main purpose is to train them." Han Xiao shrugged.
"Alright." Herlous nodded.
"I have one more thing to tell you. The Undead Army that I didn't bring with me, you have to use them as much as possible. Throw them into the most dangerous battlefield. As long as it's a risky job, throw it all to them."
Herlous scratched his head. "I understand. Then, let them follow Harmon."
After giving some instructions, Han Xiao issued a limited mission to all the players through the faction interface. He said that he would split the troops into two groups, and a portion of them would follow him. There were only three hundred thousand slots.
Through the faction interface, the three hundred thousand slots were taken in less than three minutes. Han Xiao mobilized more than a hundred spaceships and brought Sylvia, Marian, and the three hundred thousand excited players to leave the main group and head straight for the target location.
Han Xiao's goal in this military operation was to fatten up the players and let them obtain as much EXP as possible. Thus, he was willing to be in charge of more tactical operations.
Apart from the side missions of the main storyline, he was also prepared to use up the faction reward quota every day to distribute EXP to all the players in the name of following the army.
…
Planet K- 00156, one of the strongholds of the Bloodshed Land in the outer base station system of the Kant Star System.
This was a new stronghold that had yet to be completely remodeled. The surface was gray and metallic, and thousands of battleships were patrolling in outer space, guarding the stronghold.
Hundreds of streams of light cut through the dark universe, leaving hyperdrive mode, and stopped not far away from Planet K- 00156. Speed was crucial in war, and Han Xiao did not stop to rest. He quickly led his troops to this location.
The three hundred thousand players stared at the planet through the windows of the spaceships with excited expressions.
"That should be the target."
"The battle is finally about to begin. I'm about to die from holding it in."
"Have you guys triggered the mission? Mine is to destroy the stronghold in front of us. Are you guys the same?"
Many players received the side missions of the main storyline one after another, and the requirement was to destroy Planet K- 00156.
Mad Blade and a portion of the professional players participated in this mission, and Maple Moon followed. Pork Bun went without saying. Wherever Black Star went, he would follow. He was always at the front line of the news.
At this time, yellow warning lights lit up in every spaceship, and Philip's voice sounded from the artificial intelligence system.
"All members, head to the assault cabin and prepare for the airdrop. Check the condition of the armor and the life support system. We will enter the atmosphere of Planet K- 00156 and descend to the surface to kill the enemies and destroy the bases on the surface. I repeat, all members …"
Many players heard the order and headed to the airdrop cabin. Maple Moon, however, looked out of the window with hesitation on her face.
The defense fleet of Planet K- 00156 had already discovered the approaching team and quickly surrounded them. The enemy had thousands of battleships, more than ten times the number of this team. They were like sheep surrounded by a pack of wolves, and it seemed like there was no way for them to break through the enemy's blockade. How were they going to carry out the airdrop?
Maple Moon had always been more concerned about such details.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Pork Bun pushed her. Mad Blade also stopped and waited for her to catch up.
"Wait." Maple Moon waved her hand and took out her communicator. She summoned Philip and asked, "The enemy's fleet has surrounded us. How are we going to deal with them? If our battleships are destroyed, everyone will be sucked into space."
"That's not a problem for you to worry about," Philip said cutely. "The enemy's fleet won't cause us any trouble. Hum."
Maple Moon still wanted to ask more questions, but Pork Bun suddenly exclaimed, "Look outside, Black Star is going to face them alone!"
Everyone stopped and looked out of the window curiously. Maple Moon also raised her head hurriedly. Mad Blade walked back to the window and looked out.
Han Xiao flew out of the fleet alone and faced the thousands of enemy battleships.
The thousands of enemy battleships recognized him and opened fire. Thousands of ion cannons formed a triangular cone and shot toward him.
The players in the spaceship could not help but feel nervous. In the previous version, Black Star did not display his overwhelming strength in space. Although they knew that Black Star had definitely become stronger in this version, this was the first time they had seen him in action. No one knew what level he had reached.
This was the concentrated fire of thousands of battleships!
Could he block it?
Just as everyone was feeling nervous, Han Xiao suddenly turned his hands into claws. As if he was using space as a canvas, he pulled and changed the curvature of space around him. The countless ion cannons suddenly scattered and shot in all directions, all of them brushing past Han Xiao.
Immediately after, the space around Han Xiao rippled. Army Boxes jumped through space and lined up neatly behind Han Xiao in a matrix.
Mad Blade quickly counted the number of Army Boxes. There were a total of 121 of them!
The next moment, all the Army Boxes opened at the same time as if Pandora's Box had been released. An endless black tide of machines poured out, firing millions of energy cannons. It was like a moving thunderstorm cloud, covering the sky and swallowing half of the enemy's fleet in the blink of an eye.
The shields of hundreds of enemy battleships were instantly torn apart, and their hulls exploded into fireworks!
In just an instant, half of the thousands of enemy battleships were destroyed!
Even though this terrifying black tide of machines was charging toward the enemy, the players in the spaceship could not help but hold their breaths and feel a sense of pressure.
In the past seven years, Han Xiao did not have much experience to level up, so he focused on expanding the Mech Legion to increase its strength. Now, the scale of the Mech Legion had reached tens of millions. He had created a new artificial intelligence that was responsible for combat calculations, and Philip was the butler.
"Warning, the energy level is rising rapidly! Take precautions! "An alarm sounded in the spaceship's ears.
All of a sudden, a strong energy fluctuation appeared on the surface of planet K- 00156. The observation window of the spaceship automatically adjusted, and they saw a large anti-space railgun on the surface of planet K- 00156. It was two hundred meters tall, and it had been activated. It was aimed at Han Xiao, and the barrel of the cannon with a diameter of more than a hundred meters glowed with a strong purple light.
Han Xiao's attention was also attracted. He threw out a compressed orb, which quickly expanded in space and turned into the Ice Age Star Freezing Cannon. Mechanical Force flowed through the structure of the machine, and an even more terrifying energy burst out. An icy blue beam of light shot out from the barrel of the cannon, which quickly crossed the distance and accurately hit the anti-space railgun on the surface.
The observation window of the spaceship faithfully displayed the result of this attack. Everyone could only see that the base where the large anti-space railgun was located was only left with a huge crater sealed in ice. The ground was covered in ice, and the surrounding area was completely frozen. It stretched for dozens of kilometers, and the area was still expanding.
Although they could not hear anything, many people shivered and felt a chill run down their spine.
If this was a normal colonial planet … one shot would probably be able to destroy an entire city.
Just when everyone was stunned, Han Xiao suddenly moved. He passed through the chaotic enemy fleet and quickly arrived near the enemy's huge flagship. He directly activated Machinery Apostilization, and the eyes under the mechanical suit lit up with a blue light. This was a sign that the energy in his body was extremely abundant.
Han Xiao pressed his palm on the advanced electromagnetic shield of the flagship and continuously released psionic energy through his body. The shield was instantly dyed blue, and after flashing a few times, it exploded into pieces. Han Xiao was unobstructed, and he directly charged to the exterior of the flagship. His hands formed claws, and he fiercely stabbed them into the flagship's armor.
An endless stream of psionic energy flowed through his fingers into the enemy's flagship. With Han Xiao's palm as the center, fine cracks with a blue light quickly spread to the exterior of the flagship like energy veins.
The entire flagship was like a piece of broken porcelain. When the light from the cracks reached its peak, the flagship suddenly exploded. Blue flames surged out and quickly burned all the oxygen inside. It lasted for an instant before extinguishing.
At the same time, the mechanical army had already destroyed all the enemy battleships. Like tired birds returning to their nest, they disappeared without a trace after retrieving their Army Boxes. Only the wreckage of the battleships was left floating in the sky like giant beasts that had been eaten by ants.
The battle ended in less than five minutes. For a galactic expert of his level, as long as there were no Supers of the same level holding him back, destroying a small fleet alone would not be a problem. It was completely a basic operation.
Philip's cheerful voice sounded from the spaceship.
"Your Excellency Black Star has cleared the obstacles. All personnel, please get ready. We will airdrop in three minutes. I repeat, black …"
"Gulp." The throat of the surrounding players moved, and they subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Was this the world of the strong?
