Chapter 655 The First Battle
The fleet of the ck Star Army was mixed within thebined armed forces, marching forward vigorously. From outside, one could only see the light streaks as a result of the hyperdrive jump, resembling a meteor shower.
“The frontal force is to attack and open up the defensive formations in outer space. Attack the enemy base from space, providing firepower to cover for the other formations. As for us, we will be responsible for nking, restraining the enemy from their reinforcements.”
Within the cockpit, Han Xiao wasmunicating to the other fleetmanders.
Themand structure of the ck Star Army had already been fixed. Out of the three hundred battleships they had, they were divided into multiple fleets, with an Officer in charge of each fleet. This would allow for more flexible tactical adjustments.
“Lagi, I’ll pass the mission of charging forward to you. In addition, we have several allies who are sending out Cmity Grade Supers alongside you. Your mission is to kill as many in the opposing fleet as possible. Of course, the priority is to first guarantee your safety.”
Han Xiao’s tone was stern. During an interster war, the Cmity Grades would mainly work to behead themander of the opposing fleet, usually by assassination. However, they could also enter the main battlefield. Their strong individual fighting capability meant that there would be high flexibility. If there were no other Cmity Grades from the enemy side to restrict them, the Cmity Grade would be able to cause great damage to the fleet, even having the opportunity to influence the situation of a battlefield.
For example, Shana’s ability would be a great weapon in such interster conditions.
On an interster battlefield, Grade A Supers had always been the source of headaches for fleetmanders. This was because their uncertainty was too great, making them hard to handle. A Cmity Grade protected by their fleet was undoubtedly even more dangerous.
However, it was still a dangerous matter for a Cmity Grade to go head on against a fleet. If one was careless, they would be hit by tens of hundreds of warship cannons, and their life would likely be forfeit. However, Han Xiao was reassured by Lagihe knew how to protect himself, so there should not be a problem.
“Sigh.” Lagi only sighed, not speaking out.
Dong dong!
The spaceships trembled slightly and exited hyperdrive. Han Xiao’s brows furrowed, and he immediately activated the radar. A red area was marked out in front of them on the radar.
“We’re here. In front of us should be the stronghold for the vanguard force of Bloodshed Land.”
Han Xiao took a deep breath.
A period of two or three years had passed, but they had stille to war with Bloodshed Land.
In themunication channel, many of themanders practically held their breath at this sight.
It was not surprising that the members of Section Zero were nervous. The fame of people inevitably cast shadows, and Bloodshed Land had arge reputation, so no one dared look down on this tyrant.
Through the long-range vision, Han Xiao discovered that the Bloodshed Land’s fleets had assembled outside, grouping into several formations, each with a gship as the core.
“Warning, warning, high-energy response detected. Please take precautions, hum!”
At this moment, Han Xiao received the warning from Phillip. Shouting to the others, his fleet dove to evade.
The next moment, Bloodshed Land’s fleet suddenly lit up with countless light spots. This was followed by countless beams of high energy particle cannons shooting toward thebined forces. They grazed the shields of the various spaceships before disappearing into the distance. A few of the spaceships that did not have time to escape were hit, their shields flickering intermittently.
“How decisive, firing the moment we meet.” Han Xiao’s eyes shed.
Ding.
At this point, Phillip spoke up. “The tactical instructions have been epted. Do you wish to execute it immediately?”
Within the virtual screen, the formations of both fleets had turned into 3D shapes. The situation was clear at a nce. The tactical movements of his own fleet were marked, with the division ofbor clear. Within Han Xiao’s troops, each one also had their own tactical targets, and the enemy fleet to be contained had been marked in red. This was their mission. At the top left of his screen were various parameters as well as the timings to meet.
The rearmander would adjust the tactics and reissue new instructions any time ording to how the situation developed. This method ofmand allowed each team to perform its duties without confusion.
ncing at the tactical board, Han Xiao found it to be eptable and nodded.
“Execute it immediately!”
The ck Star Army fleet followed the rest of the fleet to move with the troops. After circling once, they dove straight into the fray, heading toward their own targets.
At the same time, the entire Section Zero fleet also moved. They spread out and attacked theary stronghold in the battlefield from all directions.
Because the alliance fleet was originally in a state of disunity, in order to prevent any infighting, themander had organized the alliance fleet into more than ten different squadrons. Han Xiao’s fleet belonged to Team Seven, whose main purpose was to restrain and restrict.
The mes of war broke out!
Thebined forces of Section Zero approached the’s fortress from various routes, while the particle cannons of both sides opposed each other. The spaceships navigated their way through the dense of particle rays, and fireworks bombarded the area from time to time. As thebined forces attacked from multiple fronts, the formation of Bloodshed Land also changed to protect every position instead.
When both sides warred against each other, they opened fire at full st. Team Seven charged bravely against the fire, and the pressure they faced increased sharply the closer they got.
Boom boom boom!
The vanguard troops of Bloodshed Land had transformed their fortress using the foundations of the Crimson Dynasty. The ground had arge base, and anti-aircraft guns fired physical missiles that could hit even spaceships in outer space. The firepower within them was fierce, and they almost hit Han Xiao’s fleet more than once.
“Arge-scale battlefield is really dangerous.”
Han Xiao had long switched over to manual piloting, cing his full concentration on this matter. He performed thrilling aerial moves one after another to avoid any the tens of cannons fired toward them.
With such arge-scale battlefield, he did not dare act too casually. He followed the actions of the main troops, avoiding the various attacks by constantly fluttering up and down like a butterfly.
Looking at the tactical screen, he found out that the assault troops had already begun to sh in closebat with those from Bloodshed Land. Looking out of the window, he saw that the entire outer space area had turned into a fierce battlefield, with the inky ck color of the universe as well as the edge of the fortress as a backdrop. Both sides were heavily engaged with each other, and all sorts of lights from the weapons dazzled one’s eyes.
The battlefield was too vast. Even casting one’s eyes out into the horizon would not allow them to see the entire situation. They could only understand the whole battle through the feedback from the tactical screen. At present, both sides had just confronted each other and were evenly matched.
The allied forces offensive had restrained the enemy’s firepower, indirectly helping Han Xiao’s Team Seven approach the enemy and find their restraining targets.
Han Xiao’s current position quickly turned into a small-scale battlefield.
The moment they fought, Han Xiao felt tremendous pressure.
This fleet, with an expedition-ss battleship as its core, seemed to be about to go support the frontal battlefield. Team Seven restrained and harassed them continuously and were immediately violently counterattacked.
Team Seven had about a thousand battleships, of which three hundred were Han Xiao’s. The death toll was increasing rapidly.
“Not good!” Han Xiao gritted his teeth.
While the Purple Crystal Civilization had mentioned that there would bepensation, Han Xiao could not bear to see the battleships exploding one after another. They were his assets that he had spent much time umting.
He activated the Virtual Intrusion skill but immediately encountered resistance. The fleet opposing them had also deployed Virtual Mechanics to protect their fleet. In addition, they also nned to invade the Alliance fleet’s spaceships.
Left without a choice, Han Xiao could only tussle with the Virtual Mechanics from the enemy side, attacking and defending. Both sides started a tug-of-war.
At the same time, within themand room of the fortress, two Grade A Virtual Mechanics were intercepted by Han Xiao on the virtual level, and their looks changed.
“The enemy’s Virtual Mechanic has also appeared!”
“Sh*t, this guy’s Virtual Technology is really strong. The infiltration speed is too fast!”
“Luckily, we still can keep the internal firewall. Did you manage to trace the source?”
“Yeah, I’ve locked down on his position.”
“I see it, eh, turns out its ck Star. No wonder, he’s so strong!”
“Cooperate with me. Fight and seize his spaceship!”
The cooperation of the two was tacit. They immediately locked onto Han Xiao, infiltrating his cklight Stealth.
Within the Virtual ne, the torrent of data manipted by the duo found the artificial intelligence core of the cklight Stealth. Just as they were about tounch an attack, a glowing figure materialized. It was Risda.
Looking at the two torrents of data surging toward him, Risda merely raised a hand, scattering the offensive of both men. The data torrents turned into tiny sparkles of light, bing redundant pieces of data, and were quickly shattered.
The moment the duo saw this, their hearts chilled.
“This Artificial intelligence is too high level. There’s no way to break through it.”
“Dammit, now we can’t shake him off.”
Both sides had undergone a round of confrontation, with Han Xiao gaining a slight advantage. However, his expression remained grave.
He had long expected the Bloodshed Land to employ Virtual Mechanics, as there was no way they would leave out such an obvious shoring. However, the enemy had actually sent two Grade A Virtual Mechanics, which gave Han Xiao some pressure. If he was not present, the opponent would have been free to do whatever they wished.
At this point, both sides were restraining each other. Although he could not utilize Virtual Intrusion to hack into the other party, it was the same for them.
The two sides finally met each other in closebat, and a furious battle erupted. Team Seven and the enemy fleet both used their charge cabins, allowing their respective Supers tond on the enemy’s spaceships.
Han Xiao pulled up a surveince video. Any battleship on his side that got boarded would face a one-sided ughter, as the elite Thousand Beast Soldier troops from the Bloodshed Land were extremely strong.
“My spaceship has been boarded!”
At this point, the frantic voice of Herlous sounded from hismunicator.
Han Xiao hurriedly switched screens, only to see three charge cabins firmlytching onto Herlous’ spaceship. Herlous brought out his troops and was currently engaging with the enemy Thousand Beast Soldiers.
Luckily, Lagi’s spaceship passed by at this juncture and provided assistance. They killed off the bunch of enemies with ease, resolving the danger in Herlous’ spaceship.
Han Xiao suddenly felt his emotions surge. Within the chaos, he had identally discovered a breakthrough point.
“Attention to all, cover the Cmity Grade assault team. Try and allow them tond on the enemy’s gship!”
Within this small-scale battlefield, the core would be the gship of both parties. Compared to the enemy, Team Seven had the advantage with their Cmity Grade Supers, so theirmander beheading operation had a higher chance of sess.
Although their tactical goal was to restrain this fleet, the mainmander would only give the target, and the specific actions were adjusted ording to circumstances. It would definitely be more useful to destroy the opponent’s gship rather than simply restraining them.
If one could obtain ster results, the reward would naturally be higher.
Team Seven’s Cmity Grade assault teams, including Lagi, consisted of four teams. Han Xiao was not included.
When the order was issued, Team Seven immediately changed positions and began to cover the Cmity Grade assault team. They shuttled through the artillery bombing, quickly approaching the enemy’s gship.
The enemy naturally spotted the tactical objective of Han Xiao and worked on intercepting the teams as well as covering their gship to allow it to retreat.
While the distance between both sides was shrinking, it was too slow. Instead, the battlefield was slowly moving toward the frontlines. God only knew when they would reach the enemy gship if that continued. So, making up his mind, he issued a new order.
“All Cmity Grade teams, board my Giant Soldier. I’ll take you there!”
The next instant, Han Xiao popped out of his spaceship, summoning his destroyer and sitting within the cockpit. Lagi and the others quickly got into the body of the Giant Soldier.
“Sit tight.”
Han Xiao operated the destroyer, pouring all its power into the thruster as it rushed toward the enemy’s gship at a high speed.
The Giant Soldiers had more mobility and flexibility. Coupled with Han Xiao’s high operating level, he moved and prated deep into the enemy’s lines, attracting a lot of retaliatory fire. However, most of the attacks shot at him harmlessly, and some almost caused friendly fire.
Their distance was reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was a taboo in battle to operate independently, but Han Xiao was a Cmity Grade himself, and he was apanied by four other Cmity Grade Supers. This turned them into a sharp sword with frightening power, causing the enemies to focus fire on them. Team Seven, which remained outside, immediately reacted, further restraining this fleet.
The destroyer finally arrived at the gship and activated the shield neutralizer. They opened the hatch, allowing the four teams to sessfully infiltrate the gship. With only a single Cmity Grade Super within, they were bound to die.
Han Xiao did not sit idle, instead controlling his Giant Soldier to slice up the spaceships around him into pieces.
It was not long before the gship could not withstand the impact and exploded!
However, the four teams had already evacuated, boarding Han Xiao’s Giant Soldier once again, and they broke out of the enemy lines.
While Han Xiao had seeded in destroying the gship, the armor value of his destroyer had almost reached zero. If not for his team that remained outside harassing and restraining, he would probably have lost his destroyer to the sheer firepower.
However, this small setback had reversed the situation on this minor battlefield. Under the continuous attacks of the team, the enemy troops began to retreat.
Han Xiao was just about to give pursuit, but at this time, he suddenly received a new mission notification.
(Partial Campaign: Retreat]
Mission Requirements: Retreat immediately, and conserve as much of team as possible
“Why are we retreating now?”
Han Xiao jumped in shock, casting his eyes out on the tactical screen. His pupils shrank.
On all the minor battlefields, only his one had gained an advantage!
The situation on the frontal battlefield had deteriorated rapidly. Therge force of Section Zero was prated by Bloodshed Land, and more than two thousand warships had been destroyed. The main force of fifteen Cmity Grade Supers had suffered eight deaths, with seven injured.
All eight Vanguard Officials of the Bloodshed Land had entered the fray!
“No wonder I didn’t even encounter any of them!”
Han Xiao’s heart sank.
With the main force being destroyed, even if he had an advantage on his side, it would not help.
Section Zero had battled Bloodshed Land for the first time and lost!
...
On the main battlefield, a burning arc flew through the gship of the organization. There were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
Puchi.
Hunting de pulled out his war de, and Sevitt’s body fell heavily. There was a huge hole in his side, with his internal organs already gone, and his blood had almost dried out. He was deader than dead at this point.
“This should be thest one. Let’s go. The battleship is about to explode.”
Hunting de wiped his de and spoke through themunicator at the side of his armor toward Fosters, who was near the hole at the hull of the ship.
Fosters was looking through a hole to the distant battlefields. The horrible vacuum suction did not affect his body one bit.
“ck Star is not on the frontal battlefield. He should count his blessings.”
Fosters’ eyes gleamed coldly.
