The Homestead Fortress's maximum power output cannons hit the Dimensional Beast Fortress. Like a water column, the cannons sputtered in front of the barrier, and the scattered energy turned into rainbow-colored ribbons that slowly disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, Mary sat down again to recover from her shock. She said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to be surprised. In order to avoid the enemy's counterattack, immediately move the Homestead Fortress away from its current position. Order all ships to continue spreading out and launching attacks."
"Yes."
"What's going on with that fortress? How could it block such an attack without suffering any damage? " After saying that, Mary had the same question in her mind. She paused for a moment, picked up the communicator beside her, and pressed a button to start a one-on-one communication with Xiao Ran.
"Did you see that? Even the strongest attack of our Homestead Fortress is useless against that fortress. Even the Dimensional Devourer was able to resist it. All of our ordinary attacks are completely useless against that fortress. If this continues, I'm afraid that we can only use the entire fleet's MACROSS cannons to have a certain effect."
"Don't worry. I don't think that the Homestead Fortress can solve the current problem with one shot." Xiao Ran's indifferent voice came from the communicator beside her ear. "Sherry Dew and the others' singing has a powerful effect on the Dimensional Beasts. The nano-viruses released will also silently and continuously affect the Dimensional Beasts. Psychokinesis will also penetrate the enemy's defense to a certain extent. After eliminating all the Dimensional Beasts, we will combine our forces to launch an attack on that fortress. I'm heading to that continent to confirm the situation there. I'll keep an eye on the Dimensional Beast Fortress."
"That Dimensional Beast Fortress is also very special. If possible, I hope to retrieve it. I can already feel that if we can obtain the control center of that Dimensional Beast Fortress, then we can paralyze all the functions of the Dimensional Beast Fortress. If necessary, it is also reasonable to send Tegaman troops to break in."
"That's the only way." Mary nodded. After putting down the communicator, she ordered the bridge again, "Notify all ships and combat units to prioritize attacking all the Dimensional Beasts and Dimensional Generals. Eliminate all the Dimensional Beasts and Dimensional Generals. Pay attention to the Dimensional Beast Fortress's attacks. Once you disperse, you can freely dodge and defend."
Xiao Ran was a little surprised that the Dimensional Beast Fortress's attack didn't damage the Dimensional Beast Fortress. However, it wasn't as unbelievable as most people. After all, the Dimensional Beast Fortress was the most powerful existence among the Dimensional Beasts. Furthermore, it was the core of this incident. Xiao Ran had never thought that a single shot could solve the problem.... If the Dimensional Beast Fortress was a machine body, then it definitely had an S3-rank or above ability. How could a Dimensional Beast fortress with such capabilities be destroyed so easily?
Of course, a fortress couldn't be viewed simply by the level of the machine body. It was hard to say whether it was complex or not. The two couldn't be compared at all. On the other hand, compared to the Dimensional Beast Fortress, the Home Fortress didn't have any advantages.
The Home Fortress could move, attack, and perform FOLD Jumps. It could teleport the machine body from a designated area to a designated location. The Dimensional Beast Fortress could also move, attack, and use dimensional energy to perform FOLD Jumps. Dimensional Jumps might not have the ability to teleport, but it could affect the Dimensional Beasts and Dimensional Generals, allowing these combat units to obtain the ability to travel through dimensions.
In terms of defensive capabilities, the Home Fortress's defense was completely built up by various means. It didn't have any special abilities. On the level, it was classified as a standard defensive measure. There was nothing special about it. It was purely based on energy.
The Dimensional Beast Fortress had a unique ability. It could effectively use dimensional energy to attack and defend. Together with the special effects of defense and attack, it would cause more changes.
The most special thing about the Home Fortress was probably its modularity. It was true that the Home Fortress was a fortress, and it wouldn't have a problem dealing with enemies of a similar level. However, it was still the Dyson Sphere of the revolutionary machine world. It was a large logistics base for the Burning Legion during missions. It had never appeared in the Burning Legion as a war output. Now that it had encountered a Dimensional Beast Fortress that was extremely special in all aspects, it suddenly appeared to be at a disadvantage.
With the emergence of various situations, the Burning Legion gradually began to expose more and more problems. The development of the machine body was too outstanding, which made other areas appear too weak. Change was imperative. Xiao Ran was also prepared to invest all the benefits of this mission into the reform after the mission. Otherwise, the longer this problem was delayed, the more serious the consequences would be.
The current situation was that they couldn't deal with the Dimensional Beasts without integrating their forces. Therefore, they could only temporarily put the Dimensional Beasts aside and prioritize dealing with the Dimensional Generals and Dimensional Beasts that could already threaten the fleet. However, Xiao Ran still continued to pay attention to the Dimensional Beast Fortress, ready to remind Mary of the next move of the Dimensional Beast Fortress at any time.
As for Xiao Ran himself, he had already entered the continent that appeared with the Dimensional Beast through quantum teleportation. He maintained an extremely low altitude and quickly headed to the place where the distress signal appeared.
Conventional teleportation methods couldn't be used in the situation of space lockdown, but Xiao Ran's quantum teleportation wasn't an ordinary method. It didn't simply open a channel and then go over. It also had a special method of separation and recombination to achieve the purpose of teleportation. Separating oneself into a quantum state in a place where GN particles were scattered and then recombining at the destination was really not a teleportation method. Therefore, the space lockdown naturally couldn't affect Xiao Ran and the Winged Dragon God. Without entering the quantum domain, it was even more impossible to detect the specific movements of the Winged Dragon God. Perhaps some people with high perception would be able to sense the threat to themselves and dodge.
The Homebase launched an attack. The Dimensional Beast Fortress withstood the attack and quickly launched its own counterattack. Energy gathered in front of the exposed devices of the Dimensional Beast Fortress. The absorbed energy turned into elongated balls and entered these devices. In less than ten seconds, countless light beams were emitted toward the scattered fleet and even the entire army. These light beams didn't go in a straight line, but flew in a curve as if they had a tracking effect. It looked similar to the split attack of the Winged Dragon God, but the light beams coming out from all directions were colorful and gorgeous.
After its performance became stronger, such a split attack was an excellent method to target low-level combat power. The Dimensional Beast Fortress couldn't completely cover the entire screen, but such a split attack wasn't a problem at all.
As the light beams created by the Dimensional Beast Fortress flew out, the first to bear the brunt of the attack were the drones that were now fighting the remaining low-level Dimensional Beasts on the frontline. A split light beam could destroy several drones and cause several explosions, but at the same time, the drones could dodge all of them without hitting a single one. The hit rate was indeed a far cry from Xiao Ran's attack.
The fleet had also activated all effective defensive measures. They could only block the enemy's concentrated attack head-on. As for the manned combat units near the fleet, they also began their evasive maneuvers the moment the Dimensional Beast Fortress launched its attack. Machines with powerful defensive capabilities began to erect barriers to provide defensive assistance to the warships or some other machines. But in general, all combat power below Grade A chose to disperse to escape the attack range. A small number of machines hid behind the warships or defensive machines, maintaining coordinated movements and hiding in the shadows.
But even so, when the Dimensional Beast Fortress's attack disappeared, there were still many machines that were hit or grazed by the Dimensional Beast Fortress's attack. Some of the machines were even ejected from the escape capsule. And when every escape capsule appeared, a thick layer of GN particle shields would quickly appear on the surface of the escape capsule. Xiao Ran, who was far away on the other side, was also constantly paying attention to the situation of his troops. He created GN particle shields in front of the warships and the escape capsules to reduce their danger. In addition, the Dragonscale machines that had not rushed to the front had been completely converted into defensive roles. Although they were extremely far away from the Winged Dragon God, they were still under Xiao Ran's control.
Those with broken limbs began to retreat with the escape capsules that had successfully escaped, flying towards the Homestead Fortress that was completely out of the battlefield. The wave of attacks from the dimensional beasts had caused at least a hundred of the army's mechs to withdraw from the battle. This was a 'huge' loss that had not occurred even when the dimensional beasts had appeared. Fortunately, the various units had responded very quickly, with the effective assistance of the A-class pilots and defensive mechs. There were even battleships that used themselves as shields to block the attacks. The result of their unity caused the dimensional beasts' attacks to not have much of an effect, and the withdrawal of about a hundred mechs did not affect the army at all.
However, to prevent such a situation from happening again and cause the army to suffer meaningless losses, Mary gave a new order after less than three seconds of consideration. "All machines below Grade A withdraw from the battle zone. Grade B sniper and firepower machines land on the deck of the warship nearby and cooperate with the warship to launch attacks and defense. Auxiliary defensive machines will also assist in defense."
Low-level combat power would not be of much use in a high-level battlefield. They would only become a hindrance to their allies and a target for the enemy. Withdrawing all combat power below Grade A was the same as crippling their own combat power. At the very least, Grade B combat power could still be considered the backbone of the fleet. However, to ensure the safety of these pilots, Mary did not hesitate to give the order.
As for the Grade B sniper and firepower machines, they landed on the deck of the warship nearby. This was because compared to the assault-type, combat-type machines had more powerful long-range attacks. They could maintain long-range attacks on the warship, and with the warship as a cover, their safety was higher. In addition, there were also defensive machines to assist in defense. This arrangement was not too much of a problem.
After such an order was given, a large group of machines instantly began to turn around and withdraw from the battle zone according to the order. Some of the machines landed on the deck of the warship nearby, and under the protection of the defensive machines, they began to attack the ordinary Dimensional Beasts from afar.
On the battlefield, the only ones that were truly engaged in close combat were the mechs that were Rank A and above. Their numbers were even fewer. However, during the battle, they were much more flexible and relaxed. Several Rank S mechs took the initiative to charge forward, especially the mechs that possessed large-scale attack capabilities. They directly charged into the group of dimensional beasts, using various powerful means to harvest the lives of the lower Rank dimensional beasts. The flames of the battle became even more dazzling. Flashes of light appeared and disappeared one after another, constantly alternating between one another.
On the unknown continent, Xiao Ran, who was moving quickly close to the ground, also eliminated an unknown number of Dimensional Beasts along the way. Even though countless Dimensional Beasts had appeared in the universe, there were still a small number of Dimensional Beasts on this road that did not join the battle. However, these Dimensional Beasts did not have any consciousness and were mercilessly killed by Xiao Ran.
After leaving behind the corpses of many Dimensional Beasts, Winged Dragon God stopped in front of a huge building complex. However, this building complex was already in ruins. Collapsed buildings were everywhere, and there was not a single intact building. However, one could vaguely see the former grandeur of this building complex.
"Winged Dragon, Harrow, I'll leave the main control here to you. I'll come back immediately if there's a problem."
After leaving these words, Xiao Ran's body instantly lit up with a bright light. His whole person turned into a real light shadow and disappeared from the cockpit. His body also entered the quantum domain. He existed in the cockpit, but not in the cockpit. His main consciousness was placed on the light shadow that directly drilled out of the cockpit. Such an ability was comparable to a real god.
The light shadow left Winged Dragon God's cockpit and moved forward quickly, seemingly light but moving forward quickly. It drilled into the interior of a building that was more than half collapsed and moved freely in the airless environment. This light shadow was not Xiao Ran's real body. His body had already integrated into the quantum domain and transformed into another existence. This figure was just Xiao Ran's mental projection, a fake body formed by GN particles. Moreover, it could become more realistic, but there was no need to do so now.
The inside of the building was also dark, but for Xiao Ran, who no longer used his eyes to see, it made no difference. After entering the building, Xiao Ran kept moving downward. In fact, he had never been to this place before, but he seemed to be very familiar with it. He finally stopped in front of a tightly shut steel door without making a single mistake.
"The distress signal came from inside. There's actually a huge underground building hidden under the ruins. Interesting."
