As Sylvia had taken over the hyperdrive base station, Han Xiao used the enemy's wormhole channel to quickly attack the remaining two planet strongholds.
Originally, after the hyperdrive base station was lost, the remaining two planet strongholds knew that they were no match for the enemy and wanted to retreat. However, Han Xiao's efficiency was too high, and the enemy was unable to move the resources away in a short period of time. The second planet stronghold's fleet was completely wiped out, and the third planet stronghold's fleet abandoned the surface troops and escaped.
Having lost their flying vehicles, the ground troops of the two strongholds became trapped beasts. They could only watch helplessly as the airdrop cabins smashed into their heads. The roaring undead troops surged out like a tide, bringing blood and slaughter.
There were not many strong Supers in these small strongholds, and it was just right for the level of the players. Occasionally, there would be some Grade B Supers that could be considered bosses in the eyes of the players. Overall, the cleanup was very smooth.
Not too long later, Han Xiao led 300,000 players and wiped out the three strongholds. Not a single one was left alive, and all the heads belonged to the players. Together with the rewards from the battle mission and faction mission, these players received a huge wave of EXP, and they were very happy.
The remaining forces of the hyperdrive base station were also cleared out by Han Xiao. The resources left behind in this base station would be cleaned up by the logistics team, so he did not have to worry about them.
This base station was successfully removed, and Han Xiao contacted Herlous to ask about the situation of the Black Star Corps. He mainly wanted to see the experience of the players over there.
Under the lead of Lagi and Herlous, the Black Star Army's main force cooperated with a few other allies to attack one of the stronger base stations. Over a million players were scattered and attacked the six planet strongholds. The largest team was led by Harmon.
Han Xiao brought up the image of the battlefield, and it showed a wilderness battlefield. Harmon was at the very front, roaring loudly. His furry and burly body forcefully withstood the concentrated fire of the enemy's ground vehicles as he brandished his warhammer and slaughtered one formation after another. More than a dozen Ten Thousand Beast Soldiers hung on his body, swinging back and forth, but they did not affect him at all.
A large number of players followed behind him and cooperated with him. Because Harmon's Warrior Soul was burning fiercely, he always charged toward the most concentrated group of people. Thus, the players behind him also suffered the most intense concentrated fire.
Although Harmon's recklessness caused the players' scalps to go numb, following behind him, there were plenty of opportunities to deal the finishing blow. It was both painful and enjoyable.
The treatment of the majority of the players was not as good as the 300,000 players on Han Xiao's side. They did not have so many heads to monopolize, so their final rewards would not be as good. However, according to the current standards of the players, the rewards were still very generous.
"There are still a few more battles to come. It shouldn't be a problem for most people to level up a few times."
Han Xiao rubbed his chin.
It had only been half a month since Version 3.0 started. Not to mention those who had already reached Grade B, the average level of all the army players was around LV 93. When they reached LV 100, they would definitely reach Grade B, and the combat strength of the players would undergo a qualitative change.
In the early stages of the version, due to the increase in quest rewards, players leveled up faster. It would not be too difficult for them to reach Level 100 in a short time.
When Sylvia and Marian returned, Han Xiao praised their efficiency.
Needless to say, Marian was a reliable combatant who would work hard without complaint. Sylvia, after ten years of training, had finally become the capable assistant that Han Xiao wanted, able to take charge of things on her own.
In the spaceship's cockpit, Sylvia listened to Han Xiao's praise, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. "It's all because you taught me well, Teacher."
She still remembered that more than ten years ago, her soul had been blinded, and she had tried to attack Han Xiao. In the end, Han Xiao had led her onto the right path.
Sylvia was filled with gratitude toward Han Xiao. The ten years of child labor contract had long passed, but she did not mention it again. If not for Han Xiao's careful teaching for more than ten years, she would still be struggling at death's door in some Star System. She could not imagine how terrible her life would have been.
Instead of saying that it was a contract to sell her body, Sylvia felt that it was more like an excuse for Han Xiao to help her. After more than ten years of being together, she had already developed a reliance on Han Xiao like a foster father. She did not have any intention of leaving immediately after she had grown up.
"Continue to work hard. You still have room for improvement." Han Xiao nodded.
Sylvia had just entered Grade A and was considered one of the weaker Calamity Grade Supers. With the orange equipment that Han Xiao had specially made for her, she was able to unleash her full strength. She still had the potential to become stronger.
Han Xiao let his troops rest for a while before setting off to meet up with the main force. Lagi had many troops, so he was not in a hurry.
When they returned to the main force, the battle had already ended a while ago. They had also successfully destroyed a base station and were cleaning up the battlefield.
Reports of success kept coming in. The six Bloodshed Land strongholds in the periphery of the Kant Star System had been successfully cleared, and some of them had escaped back to the four base stations in the second layer.
Section Zero gathered the troops and pushed forward aggressively.
…
In the next ten days or so, the speed of the troops' advancement slowed down. The defense of the enemy base stations in the middle layer was much higher than the periphery, and they would receive reinforcements from time to time.
The flames of war had been incessant for the past half a month, and the players had plenty of opportunities to fight. They had already gotten used to the mode of the mission and rushed to the most dangerous frontlines.
Cold-blooded — this was the impression that the players left on the other members of Section Zero.
They did not accept surrenders, and even if the enemy gave up resisting, they would still kill them without leaving a single one alive.
The various parties had long known that the Black Star Corps had such an immortal army. They had disappeared for ten years and reappeared. Their role in the war was extremely obvious, and many organizations were envious of them.
As the Black Star Corps was getting stronger and stronger, many organizations had researched the immortal army. Based on the performance of the players, most organizations were inclined to believe that this was a projection of the Space Wonders. They were immortal and indestructible, but they required some sort of energy to revive, and the number of times they could revive in a short period of time was limited.
Although a million low-grade Supers was not a lot in a galactic war, the advantage was that they could be recycled. Every enemy that died would be one less, and they would always have zero casualties. They were comparable to the famous Undead Army, Demon Pool, Indestructible Mecha Empire, and many other special forces.
In the eyes of the other organizations, this group of immortals was Black Star's trump card, a special force that was even stronger than the Ten Thousand Beast Soldiers of Bloodshed Land.
With the current status of the Black Star Corps, they had the qualifications to have a special force. Although many organizations were envious, they did not intend to provoke the Black Star for a million immortals. Furthermore, other than Han Xiao, the others were not clear about the growth rate of the players.
Han Xiao had remained on his side and did not take action for half a month. However, he alone was enough to make an army of thousands retreat, and the high-level combatants of the enemy did not dare to take action. Han Xiao's ferocious name was too well-known, and he had killed too many Grade A Supers in the past ten years. He already had the status of a strategic deterrent, and ordinary Calamity Grades did not even want to fight with him.
In this battle, the only opponent who had the qualifications to fight was Hardaway.
This Beyond Grade A seed was indeed difficult to deal with. Han Xiao had fought him thirteen times in the past seven years, and he had won all of them. However, although Hardaway was stubborn, his brain was not damaged. When he saw that the situation was not good, he ran faster than anyone else. Because he was really tanky, Han Xiao was never able to catch him. He finally felt how the enemy felt when facing him.
Han Xiao estimated that he would only be able to beat Hardaway this time, but he did not mind at all and was relaxed.
The players had already returned, and his level had increased. When the time came, it would be much easier to beat Hardaway. He was not in a hurry at all.
The leader was not doing anything, so Lagi led the high-level combatants of the Black Star Corps to take action. Lagi was currently sitting firmly in the position of the vice captain of the Black Star Corps. In the eyes of outsiders, he was also the leader of the magic side of the army.
Although he was filled with negative energy, Lagi's combat strength was still trustworthy. The former Forbidden Sorcerer Commander did not have an undeserved reputation. His magic was as vast as the ocean, and casting forbidden spells was like throwing away trash. His actual combat strength could be ranked in the top ten of Section Zero.
After spending more than ten days to break through two of the core base stations, the remaining two bases took the initiative to retreat and return to the last core base station.
Originally, Bloodshed Land wanted to use the other bases to stall for time and take the opportunity to set up more defenses. However, Section Zero's attack this time was fierce, and they could not stall for time. Thus, they decided to save their fleet and gather their forces, preparing for a huge battle with Section Zero.
The last enemy base station in the Kant Star System had gathered the retreating troops and a large number of reinforcements. Section Zero had come up with a strategy to deal with them, and the mission given to Han Xiao by the command center was to restrain the high-level combatants of the enemy and defeat Hardaway.
After the battle began, Han Xiao would not be able to take care of the players. Thus, before the battle began, he had instructed his officers to arrange the players clearly.
…
At the same time, the officers of the last base station in the Kant Star System were also having a meeting to discuss how to deal with Section Zero's attack.
As the long-range commander, Joad also participated in the meeting through a virtual projection.
"We have fourteen planet bases and one hyperdrive base station. Regardless of whether the enemy splits up their forces or attacks together, we have a way to deal with them. Although our fleet is much smaller, as long as we can hold on for three days, the next batch of reinforcements will arrive. They will bring a stargate with them."
"Section Zero can't keep gathering their forces. Our comrades in the other Star Systems can take this opportunity to expand. The longer we delay, the better it is for us."
"There is no need to fight to the death. We can retreat to Kaya and wait for the majority of Section Zero's forces to disperse. Then, we can break through the blockade again and return to Kant."
Everyone expressed their own opinions. They mainly gave their own suggestions to Joad, as Joad was the one who made the decision.
Joad nodded and said, "We already have a plan for the overall strategy, and a battle is inevitable. Now that the enemy has the initiative, our countermeasures might be useful, but we still have to adapt according to the enemy's movements. What we need to consider the most is how to deal with the enemy's advantage. Section Zero has far more soldiers than you do. In terms of high-level combatants, Black Star is invincible. We are at a huge disadvantage. "
Hardaway replied with a deep voice, "I will hold him back."
"He has already beaten you back more than ten times, proving that you can't fight him alone. You have many records of retreating prematurely, which led to the annihilation of all the high-level combatants helping you to pin down Black Star. At least fifteen Grade A Supers have died."
Joad said bluntly. Sometimes, he even suspected that Hardaway was sent by the enemy. Every time he made a move, the casualty rate on his side would increase significantly.
Hardaway was speechless. He could not refute his actions of betraying his teammate. He could only grunt to express his dissatisfaction.
Joad's expression was solemn. "This time, I will give you the weapon specially made to deal with Black Star. It can only be used once, so you better grab the opportunity."
Hardaway touched the item in his pocket with a hesitant expression.
A few days ago, Joad had sent a small team to hand him a strange item. He had said that this was a special one-use weapon to deal with Black Star and that it could severely injure Black Star. He had told him to use it when he fought with Black Star.
Although Hardaway did not know the exact function of this weapon, it was definitely something to be used against Black Star. Hardaway worked for Bloodshed Land mainly to fight with Han Xiao. Only by fighting head-on would he be able to unleash his potential. He was not willing to use other methods to deal with Han Xiao.
"Do you understand? You must find the right opportunity to use it! "Joad repeated.
"This does not seem like the Tyrant's style." Hardaway was dissatisfied.
"This is my request!" Joad emphasized. He respected the Tyrant's magnanimity, but some dirty work had to be done. He had obtained this special weapon with great difficulty, and he had not told Heber about it.
Hadavy grumbled and reluctantly agreed. However, he had already decided not to use it.
