Chapter 285: Siege

"Commander Hannes, a massive number of Blood Beasts have suddenly converged at the edge of detection. The speed at which the Blood Mist is closing in has accelerated. In a few more hours, I'm afraid the entire planet will be enveloped."

Urgent battle intelligence was delivered to the Combat Briefing Room. Hannes's expression changed several times; it was very obvious that the other party seemed about to launch a general offensive.

"When will Li Yu return!? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold them off alone!" He looked at Hunter, who was relaxed and content in the corner, and asked loudly.

"No idea..." Hunter shook his head: "He just left..."

He subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to check the time, but found nothing on his wrist, and sorrow suddenly welled up in his heart.

"...Half a day, maybe. What are you rushing for... you're a fleet commander-in-chief, after all."

Hannes stared closely at Hunter. It was one thing for Li Yu to boss him around, but a mere deputy commander dared to insinuate things about him.

"I don't have time to waste with him here. I'm going to Space Orbit to handle the battle." Hannes said coldly.

Hearing this, Gober, who had just taken over as Archon a few hours ago, looked at Hannes in disbelief. Going to Space Orbit? Wasn't this clearly abandoning them?

"Hold on!?" Hannes directly interrupted Gober and sneered: "Because of your Internal Traitor Archon, my fleet suffered heavy losses, and even I was seriously injured. How can we hold on!?"

Hunter spoke leisurely: "As a fleet commander-in-chief, you shouldn't easily trust anyone in the first place, especially in a place where an Evil God crisis has erupted... This should be basic knowledge, right?"

"Who do you think you are? You dare speak to me like this?" Hannes looked at Hunter with a cold gaze. Without Li Yu, is there anyone else here who can suppress me?

Hunter shrugged and didn't speak. He casually tossed out a projection device. The palm-sized device quickly transformed and projected the great Primordial Heavenly Venerable from its electronic eye.

"...Your Excellency Hannes, I knew you would flee before the battle, so I have a few words for you..." The projected Li Yu looked at Hannes and continued: "32.15.26.11..."

"You should still remember this complex sequence of numbers, right..."

Hannes's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but step back a few paces. He really knew...

"I've already uploaded a backup in advance. If you flee before the battle, a lot of information will be made public. Many people would probably love to see the private life of a high-ranking commander..."

Hannes's face was hideous, clenching his fists and staring closely at Hunter before him, as if intending to Predatory and Ferocious.

"Don't look at me, it's not me..." Hunter spread his hands, looking very innocent.

"Oh right..." The projection that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared and reminded: "Make sure you don't kill my people, otherwise I will be very angry..."

Trying to restrict me with just a projection!?

Hannes glared angrily, raised his hand, and threw a punch, tearing apart the metal door in front of him. His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Prepare... to engage the enemy!"

Looking at the large hole in the wall, Gober slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "That commander really made foolproof preparations."

"You can say that again..." Hunter shook his head and complained: "I just don't know why he calls this thing a Clever Scheme."

............

The Blood Mist gradually closed in, and roars could be heard from within it from time to time.

This Sinking Blood Mist not only distorted magnetic fields but also continuously corroded metal. It was highly toxic and eroded people's minds.

The Meteor Fleet and Patrol Fleet deactivated their Optical Invisibility and engaged in joint defense. A massive Energy Shield enveloped the entire Shelter.

Hundreds of thousands of Transformers walked out of the Shelter, all transformed from electronic devices within.

At the same time, an endless stream of Transformers from the outside was rushing towards here.

In places the Patrol Fleet couldn't detect, a massive number of Blood Beasts had already engaged in fierce combat with the Transformers.

A giant bucket fell from the sky, smashing a large number of Blood Beasts into mincemeat. An earthy yellow Mechanical Body, tens of meters tall, shouted to the heavens: "For Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

It was almost the tallest transformed Mechanical Body. The next moment, a blood-colored ripple drifted over. A rumbling sound suddenly came from within it, and then it exploded entirely, scattering parts everywhere.

A blood-colored humanoid figure, about two meters tall, slowly walked over. It was covered in blood-colored armor, seemingly without skin, dripping massive amounts of fresh blood with every step.

The four black horns on top of its head curved at different angles, and it spread blood-colored wings on its back.

Its only organ was a giant blood-colored pupil in the center of its head. Tiny tentacles drifted all over its body, continuously devouring the surrounding Blood Beasts.

.........

"Watch out for high-level lifeforms; the Shield cannot block high-intensity attacks..."

Hannes arranged the defensive measures methodically. Since they couldn't leave, they could only defend.

Hunter provided supplementary suggestions beside him. The two seemed to have forgotten their recent unpleasantness.

As time passed minute by minute, the Blood Beasts became increasingly restless. Various giant Blood Beasts, beast-shaped Blood Beasts, and Flying Blood Beasts became more and more numerous.

Every Divine Spirit had their own combat Weapons. The Blood Beasts transformed from the Flesh and Blood Quagmire were Rohan's combat Weapons.

"What are they doing? Delaying their attack but becoming increasingly agitated?" Hannes was somewhat puzzled, staring at those Blood Beasts.

"They are waiting..." Hunter narrowed his eyes: "Like a wolf pack waiting for the wolf king's command."

"Wolf king..." Hannes's expression changed slightly. The next moment... alarms rang out in the Combat Briefing Room.

"High-Energy Reaction detected within range, suspected A-Tier Lifeform!"

"It's here!" Hannes's pupils contracted. The next second, countless Blood Beasts surged forward overwhelmingly, like beasts that had starved for four or five days.

"Prepare for battle!" Hannes shouted loudly. The battleships fired colorful energy pillars, bombarding the Blood Beast horde.

"For Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

The Transformers shouted loudly, their massive mechanical bodies charging towards the Blood Beast horde.

A massive number of survivors hid in the Shelter, feeling the tremors of the Earth, their expressions terrified.

"Mom... I'm scared..." The Young Child hid in his Mother's embrace, not daring to look up.

"Rest assured, you little rascal... Primordial Heavenly Venerable will resolve all this." The Old Radio comforted.

Gober's fingers gripped so hard they turned white. They absolutely could not lose this battle!

.........

"Oh ho... what a coincidence, managed to make it back just in time..." Li Yu stood at the edge of the battlefield, "I thought I'd make a hero's entrance at the most critical moment of the battle..."

He looked down at the entire battlefield. The battlefield was roughly divided into two parts. In front of the Shelter was the place of direct combat with the Blood Beast horde.

Then came the chaotic battles scattered across the entire continent in the rear. On his way back, he could see fighting Transformers and Blood Beasts everywhere.

The Divine Child of Rohan, heading towards the Shelter, seemed to have sensed something. It stopped in its tracks, turned its body, and its giant scarlet eyes looked in Li Yu's direction.

Li Yu also noticed this chilling gaze. The two stared at each other across a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

.........

"Your Excellency Hannes, what are you still hesitating for? Only you can deal with high-level lifeforms." Hunter urged: "Both fleets are crippled. This kind of large-scale Shield cannot block the other party's attacks at all."

Hannes looked hesitant, remembering the High Priest he had seen... If the other party's Strength was similar to that High Priest...

"You're not scared, are you?" Hunter asked suspiciously.

Boom!

A violent roar came, attracting everyone's attention.

A Subordinate quickly reported: "Another high-energy lifeform detected, suspected to be Commander-in-Chief Li Yu."

Hannes breathed a sigh of relief: "Since Li Yu has returned, leave it to him to deal with. I will be responsible for overseeing the overall situation."

Hunter shot him a disdainful look.

......

Outside the edge of the battlefield, Li Yu stared at the blood-colored figure not far away. There was a giant crater on the ground; the two had just clashed and retreated from each other.

The other party was clearly no normal lifeform. Without any nonsense, it suddenly attacked. Over a thousand blood-colored Shockwaves thrust out, leaving trails of distorted air in the sky.

Li Yu easily dodged them, but the attacks landed on the battlefield behind him, penetrating straight through.

Bang bang bang!

Over a thousand fireworks exploded on the battlefield, shattered parts flying everywhere.

Nearly ten thousand Transformers were severely damaged, their bodies shattered, and similarly, even more Blood Beasts were torn apart.

"Have them scatter, stay far away from here!"

Li Yu directly ordered Claptrap. Then the outer armor on his arm transformed, turning into a spiral drill wrapped in Golden Electric Arcs, piercing towards the Divine Child of Rohan close at hand.

The Divine Child of Rohan had quick eyes and hands, clapping its blood hands together to clamp the drill.

Screech screech——

The drill spun at high speed in the hands of the Divine Child of Rohan. The palms of its hands were covered in a blood-colored Shield, rubbing crazily against the drill, shooting out strings of yellow sparks.

The blood light in its giant pupil exploded. The next instant, the Divine Child of Rohan erupted in a Blood Mist all over its body, and ripple-like blood-colored Light Rings rapidly expanded.

Like an invisible wall pushing over, Li Yu was pushed back several kilometers.

Immediately after, the Divine Child of Rohan gripped its arm tightly, and with a boom, a vigorous Energy Fluctuation shot into the sky!

Li Yu stabilized his figure and focused his eyes, only to see the appearance of the Divine Child of Rohan had undergone a massive change.

The body of the Divine Child of Rohan had expanded a circle, and the four curved black horns on its forehead had grown longer.

The tiny blood-hair-like tentacles all over its body merged, turning into huge blood-colored tentacles, whipping back and forth, seemingly of very tough texture.

The pair of blood wings on its back, which looked like exhaust pipes, opened to the maximum.

A dazzling blood-colored light lit up in its eyes, and its body surface was covered in complex symbols, emitting abundant Energy.

Sharp flesh-and-blood blades grew from the blood armor at its joints, and a blood-colored cloud-like mist continuously released from its body surface, wrapping around its body.

The Divine Child of Rohan was getting serious; this was its official combat form.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed. It could actually change forms; this Divine Child was indeed not simple.

Boom!!

Li Yu no longer held back. Power surged out, and the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 continuously divided into various energy Weapons!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Pressing forward simultaneously, he focused all his fire on the Divine Child of Rohan. The World-Destroying Energy cannon offensive was like stormy waves.

Compared to the hasty collision just now, this was a real battle!

The two figures crashed into each other like comets!

Bang!!

The Energy Shockwave produced by the collision sent the densely packed Transformers and Blood Beasts in the surroundings flying.

The surging Energy within his body continuously sprayed out. Li Yu's fists pounded heavily on the blood-colored Shield of the Divine Child of Rohan.

A resonant vibration like a giant bronze bell rang out. He didn't pull back his fists.

The mechanical structure transformed, merging into a giant hand cannon. The dark, large-caliber muzzle lit up with surging hot Crimson Glow.

Boom——

A violent Energy Ray poured out. The thick Light Beam washed over the reef-like Divine Child of Rohan but didn't cause much damage.

"This guy's defense is too formidable; that blood armor is very tough." Li Yu frowned deeply.
