Chapter 274: This is the strength of Yanhuang

Lang Xiao Tian's order, filled with madness and resolve, echoed on the bridge of every Sirius warship.

The remaining nearly eighty million Sirius warships, at this moment, completely ignored the surrounding "flies."

Like enraged mad dogs, they poured all their energy into the forward shields and main guns, forming a massive cone-shaped formation with an astonishing width of 0.1 light-year.

A black, icy torrent of steel surged toward the distant Heavenly Sword Fleet, which hovered silently and numbered only a paltry hundred thousand ships, launching a death-defying charge.

That world-shattering aura seemed poised to utterly crush the starry sky ahead.

Facing this massive enemy army that surged forward like a black tsunami,

inside the Heavenly Sword Fleet's command channel, however, lay an unexpected calm.

Commander Zhou Shaoqing, the most famous hawkish general of the Yanhuang Civilization, gazed at the enemy forces blotting out the sky on the screen, and even a cruel smile touched his lips.

"Finally willing to play for keeps? Hmph, I've been waiting for you!"

His voice held no trace of tension, only anticipation.

"Heavenly Sword Fleet, all hands, listen up!"

Zhou Shaoqing's voice, transmitted via the command system, reached every warship clearly: "Activate the Phase Shift Shield! Prepare to meet the impact!"

The order was given.

Across the hulls of the hundred thousand Heavenly Sword‑class warships, an invisible shield that shimmered like gentle water ripples sprang open instantly.

The shield appeared as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it would burst at the slightest touch.

And at that very moment, the Sirius Fleet's devastating attack arrived!

Tens of millions of Spatial Annihilation Cannon surges erupted from the Sirius Fleet's formation!

These terrifying attacks continually converged and merged in flight,

ultimately forming an energy storm capable of instantly vaporizing a star and making space itself boil!

This storm slammed head‑on into the Heavenly Sword Fleet's seemingly fragile formation.

Yet a scene unfolded that left Lang Xiao Tian, all Sirius soldiers, and the distant spectators of the Biteen Empire gaping in astonishment.

That space‑storm, capable of destroying everything, produced no explosion whatsoever the instant it struck the Heavenly Sword Fleet's Phase Shift Shield.

It behaved like light entering water, undergoing a strange refraction!

The vast majority of the attack's energy simply slid past the smooth hulls of the Heavenly Sword warships,

shooting into the endless void beyond, causing no harm.

Only a tiny fraction, whose angles were too extreme to be fully deflected, struck the Heavenly Sword warships' hulls squarely.

Yet the Heavenly Sword‑class warships' space and energy shields, blended with Biteen Empire technology, possessed a defensive strength far beyond their imagination.

A few Spatial Annihilation Cannon blasts that could severely cripple an ordinary Third‑level Civilization warship merely caused the shield's energy to flicker slightly—no ripple at all.

The hulls emerged unscathed.

"This… this is impossible!"

On the bridge of the Greedy Wolf, Lang Xiao Tian's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

His pride‑and‑joy, a saturation attack capable of destroying a star in one blow,

had… failed?

"Their shields… what high‑tech are their shields?! Why does our attack bend?!"

He let out a disbelieving roar.

Inside the Biteen Empire's observation chamber, it was equally deathly silent.

The National Defense Councilor, who had been chatting and laughing moments before, sprang to his feet, his face etched with shock and horror.

"Phase Shift Shield… this is… this is our Empire's Academy of Sciences,

theoretically just finished its initial conception, still at the concept stage! How could they… have already put it into practical use?!"

The first saturation barrage proved ineffective, yet the Sirius Fleet's charge could no longer be halted.

The massive fleet had already surged to point‑blank range of the Heavenly Sword Fleet.

Lang Xiao Tian roared ferociously:

"Ram them! Use our overwhelming numbers to bury them completely!

I refuse to believe their turtle shells can withstand the impact of ten million warships!"

He intended to win this war, which had surpassed his comprehension, by the most primitive, brutal means.

"Want to play bumper ships with us?"

On the Heavenly Sword Fleet's flagship, Zhou Shaoqing eyed the frenzied enemy rushing onto the screen and let out a cold laugh.

"Then let you taste what true despair is!"

He issued the counter‑attack order.

"Heavenly Sword, hear my orders! Target the enemy flagship—Greedy Wolf! Activate the Singularity Gravity Cable! Drag it out of the enemy formation, alive!"

The instant the order was given,

the bows of the hundred thousand Heavenly Sword warships lit up, their formerly black weapon ports now glowing with tiny, ink‑black points that devour all light.

The next second.

ten thousand invisible strands of pure‑gravity energy spanned the void.

amid the astonished gazes of tens of millions of Sirius Fleet sailors, they locked on with perfect precision to the flagship—Greedy Wolf—nestled at the enemy formation's core, shielded by layer upon layer of protection.

The moment the ten thousand Singularity Gravity Cables struck simultaneously, the space around the Greedy Wolf was forcibly twisted and sealed by an irresistible, terrifying force.

This colossal flagship, over a hundred kilometers long and representing the pinnacle of Sirius Civilization shipbuilding,

was like a deep‑sea leviathan bound tight by countless invisible giant chains.

Its immense forward momentum was instantly cancelled.

The entire warship, in the void, emitted a metal groan of overstrain and came to an abrupt halt!

What's going on?!!

Inside the bridge, Lang Xiaotian was violently thrown to the ground in the intense shaking.

He didn't even have time to get up before he looked in horror at the speed readout on the main screen plummeting to zero and the frantically flashing red alarm.

Report! Report, Commander! We've been caught by an unknown super-strong gravity field!

Engine output is already at 120 percent! But…… we can't break free! The hull structure is being torn apart!

The desperate shout of the technical officer made Lang Xiaotian's mind go blank with a buzz.

Captured?

His flagship, was it precisely snatched from the enemy's charge formation of one hundred million warships?

What the hell kind of technology is this?!!

Around, the millions of Heavenly Wolf warships guarding the 'Greedy Wolf' immediately tried to approach the flagship to conduct rescue.

But they quickly discovered in despair that an absolute death zone had formed around the 'Greedy Wolf'.

Any warship attempting to approach would be mercilessly torn apart and shredded by that terrifying and chaotic gravity field, turning into a heap of twisted scrap metal.

Pull it over!

On the flagship of the Heavenly Sword Fleet, Zhou Shaoqing watched the 'Greedy Wolf' struggling in vain on the screen and issued a cold, merciless order.

The zero-point vacuum engines of the one hundred thousand Heavenly Sword–class warships simultaneously activated reverse thrust mode.

Thus, a scene appeared on the battlefield that was the most absurd and most shocking in history.

That massive 'Greedy Wolf', like a moving mountain, was under the gaze of tens of millions of Heavenly Wolf fleets,

was forcibly dragged out of the tightest protective circle!

Just like a group of ants using invisible silk to drag an elephant.

All the personnel of the Heavenly Wolf fleet stared blankly at their own flagship,

watching their supreme commander being slowly dragged toward the abyss of death formed by the one hundred thousand black warships.

Their fighting spirit began to collapse at this moment.

Faith, collapsed.

Pride, was crushed.

Only endless fear and bewilderment remained.

"It's over......"
