Chapter 654: The Might of the Republic

"Have Legion Commander Raymond and Legion Commander Ted lock their targets onto those twelve special Transformers." Lyman issued the order.

The threat of the Twelve Golden Immortals was relatively large. Each had its own characteristics, and wave after wave of large-scale attacks had caused immense losses to the Imperial Fleet.

"At the same time, prepare..." Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze.

Not just him, everyone in the entire command cabin was stunned.

"Did you all hear it too?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Mhm, a very desolate horn sound..." The others nodded.

Everyone was very confused, not understanding where this horn sound came from. One must know that this command ship possessed the highest level of defensive measures.

It was very difficult for any mental interference to break through here.

Even the mental pollution unconsciously emitted by the Fallen Titan earlier had not broken through the Defense Barrier here.

"Your Highness!"

His words were suddenly interrupted by someone. On the screen, a Holographic Screen rapidly enlarged, filling everyone's line of sight.

Everyone was attracted by the scene on the screen. Large swaths of shadows gathered on one side of the image.

That represented a distorted zone that was completely unknown to the Star Glory Empire, and which Scanners could not break through.

And the edges of these shadows were jagged wavy lines that appeared chaotic and disorderly.

These wavy lines were not actually existent, but interference bands generated by Spatial Distortion Phenomena.

These interference bands stretched endlessly, shrouding the entire area in a thick fog.

At the same time, it blocked all of the Star Glory Empire's detection equipment.

"What is that thing, when did it appear!?" Lyman shouted a question.

"We don't know, we didn't observe it in advance. It seems to have appeared simultaneously with the horn sound." A Staff Member was sweating profusely and said: "That gray fog blocks all detection equipment, it's very difficult for us to know what's inside."

"A bat-wing detection ship is approaching!"

"Wait, something is coming out! It's a fleet!"

Someone exclaimed in shock. Lyman looked up, his expression changing drastically, his pupils quaking, subconsciously clenching his fists.

The desolate horn sound echoed in their minds. Everyone seemed to be watching a magnificent epic.

In that Star Sector distorted by invisible forces, a fleet of inestimable numbers slowly sailed out.

The style of these warships was sharply angular, precisely built according to geometric structures, filled with a sense of heaviness and solemn killing intent.

Just by looking at the exterior, Lyman could analyze that this was a well-equipped, highly combat-capable fleet, completely incomparable to the Transformation Legion.

Warships with different exteriors all had their own uses, able to cope with various battlefields and make on-the-spot reactions.

Various models of Imperial Star Destroyers were lined up neatly. Interdictor Class, Conqueror Class, and Warrior Class Dreadnoughts were merely commonplace here.

Superweapons such as Tarkin space stations and Galaxy Guns were impressively in the ranks.

And the most eye-catching was still the giant war fortress composed of a pair of dark Twin Death Stars and a massive number of Space Fortresses deployed around the Twin Death Stars, running on complex orbits.

Not counting those fortresses that might be hidden in spatial folds preparing to fire cold shots, there were already thousands of visible large defensive space stations.

These large space fortresses, which looked like several stacked flying saucers, were many circles larger than Interstellar Fortresses.

They relied on vast quantities of carrier-based space fighters and heavy fortress missile launchers for combat.

They ran in high orbits. The fire coverage area of every Space Fortress directly intersected with at least five other fortresses.

Even without using Hyperspace Strike firepower, there were no gaps to exploit. These behemoths were their own Defense System, sturdy and durable, and incredibly powerful.

At a glance, this was a massive fleet born to cope with large-scale Interstellar War, its overall number no less than ten million.

The Galactic Republic Fleet descends!

This super fleet, which came for war, didn't intend to greet the Imperial Fleet of this Universe.

Or rather, their way of greeting was very special.

A giant tractor beam shot out from their fleet, crossing an extremely far spatial distance in an instant, bombarding the Imperial Fleet's joint shield.

This tractor beam was not a conventional energy attack.

The joint shield directly produced Spatial Distortion Phenomena. All warships within the range issued warning sounds, the stabilization devices failed, and Gravity began to fluctuate.

All warships within the range were condensed into iron balls, and were still continuously collapsing.

"Gather the formations. This fleet... is not easy to deal with." Lyman quickly issued instructions, his expression gloomy.

Such a massively numerous and well-equipped fleet far exceeded his estimates.

A large number of war analysts had already begun inferring their combat capabilities and characteristics based on the exterior features revealed by these warships.

"A fleet of this scale and level is truly astonishing." Morgan withdrew his gaze, his expression changing slightly.

He didn't even need to fight head-on to feel that the combat power of this fleet was absolutely not ordinary.

This was the intuition brought to him by years of Interstellar War.

"This time, I'm afraid I can only accept Sissoko's favor." He thought to himself.

Using the Tree of Life to repair Sissoko was not within his plan.

But under these circumstances, he could only accept Sissoko's support.

"Let's drag it out first... Once Sissoko arrives, victory will still belong to me." Morgan's expression flickered, and the offensive movements of his hands suddenly paused.

"Hmm?" Li Yu instantly felt something was wrong.

"He's preparing to drag it out to be safe." Li Yu's eyes moved slightly.

[Binary Form] had a time limit, but he wasn't too worried. Even if the time ended, he had a way.

"Just right, I also want to figure out where your Stargate is."

The Stargate was the other party's capital for rapid support. If he couldn't find it, even if he temporarily won, the Star Glory Empire could continuously send people over.

This was not advantageous to Li Yu.

The two, Each harboring schemes, actually started to slack off, simultaneously secretly observing the battlefields in other places.

The war directly unfolded. The Galactic Republic fleet arrayed neatly, clustered light energy crossed the border like meteors, and began a frontal confrontation with the Star Glory Empire fleet.

Flowing Light shot out in all directions in the Starry Sky, the Energy Radiance illuminating the surrounding Star Sectors brightly, and the coverage of the battlefield expanded once again.

The blinding Energy Torrent washed over the battlefield again and again, tearing, assimilating, igniting, and destroying everything they encountered along the way.

Heavy Physical Missiles rushed fiercely out of the rippling spatial gates.

These missiles, forged using special materials, brought a dazzling Fireball like a small asteroid every time they appeared.

Warships were silently dismembered in the Starry Sky. Powerful weapons capable of easily destroying conventional Life Planets could be seen everywhere here.

Highly expensive warships became consumables here, turning into sky-filling fireworks in batches.

Perhaps several months or even years later, some Astronomy Enthusiasts located in distant Star Systems could still see these extraordinarily magnificent Flowing Lights.

………

"You keep an eye on this Mechanical Lifeform. I'm going to help the fleet." A high-level lifeform who was joining forces to besiege the Death Star said to his teammate.

An A5 Level high-level lifeform, even in an Interstellar War of this scale, could still play a huge role.

"Lawton, you be careful." The teammate exhorted.

Lawton nodded, turning into a streak of Flowing Light, heading straight for the external battlefield, his Mental Fluctuations sweeping across the entire field:

"Other-Dimensional Camp, I've come to meet you!"

He was a Force Field User, with astonishing destructive power in large-scale combat, instantly twisting a massive number of Galactic Republic warships.

But from the Galactic Republic fleet's camp, four terrifying Auras erupted simultaneously.

A figure draped in a black robe walked out from the Twin Death Stars. He held a Gray-Black Scepter, his eyes profound, like a god of death walking out from hell.

Without any omen, a Force Storm with a massive coverage area suddenly erupted within the Star Glory Empire fleet's camp, directly wiping out a massive number of warships.

At the same time, a streak of crimson light rapidly approached Lawton. His pupils contracted, forming a force field barrier in front of himself.

Boom!

The crimson Lightsaber collided with the force field barrier, causing a Space Collapse nearby. The two clashed dozens of times in an instant. Lawton was beaten into continuous retreat, his expression appalled.

A bald man indifferently retracted his pitch-black pupils, looking down at a certain warship formation of the Star Glory Empire. Similarly, without any omen, that warship formation suddenly lost channel connection.

It was quiet inside all the warships. Only through internal monitoring could one discover that all the soldiers inside the fleet were lying silently on the ground, their entire bodies twitching, Bleeding from All Orifices.

And another person wearing a black blindfold over their eyes, the Energy erupting within their body was like a Supernova Explosion, causing everyone to unavoidably look sideways.

"Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Grand Inquisitor Rejek, Black Hole Prophet Cronal, tsk tsk... the Galactic Republic is still generous..."

Li Yu's eyes were bright, the names and origins of these characters naturally surfacing in his mind.

They were not from the same era of the Galactic Republic, yet they appeared simultaneously and were brought here.

Each of them had their own legendary stories, and their own strength was beyond doubt.

"Four top-tier lifeforms..." Lyman's eyes were heavy, his expression not looking too good.

"This is more like it." Morgan's expression changed slightly, but to some extent, he was also relieved.

In his view, this should be the entirety of the forces the Other-Dimensional Camp dispatched this time.

Before figuring out the other party's true trump cards, he had always been vigilant.

But now, they only needed to think about how to deal with the situation before them.

Based on the current situation, their side was currently no match for the Other-Dimensional Camp. Defeat was only a matter of time.

But as long as they waited for Sissoko's support to arrive, the situation would reverse.

Dense beads of sweat had already appeared on Lyman's forehead. With the expansion of the combat scale, it was already very difficult for him to remain calm and composed.

Flaws had appeared in his command several times, and the losses of the Star Glory Empire were also gradually expanding.

"Damn it, when support arrives, that will be the time of your defeat!" Lyman held his breath in his heart, still struggling to hold on.

Stellar Radiance shone brightly, Energy Torrents swept past. Other than A5 Level lifeforms, even Ted and Raymond wouldn't dare say they could retreat unscathed in a war of this tier.

An unknown amount of time passed. In this kind of war where massive numbers of casualties occurred every moment, the passage of time also seemed to become very slow.

"Hmm?"

Morgan, who was slacking off with Li Yu, suddenly had his eyes narrow slightly, noticing that the other party's Aura was rapidly declining.

"Your strength..." Morgan was somewhat puzzled, but then he immediately reacted, saying in a deep voice: "It seems to be some kind of Burst Technique, and the duration has ended."

Li Yu retreated a very far distance in the blink of an eye. With the assistance of the Thunder Battle Armor's Cloak, his speed was extremely terrifying.

Morgan sneered, his expression moving again as he turned his head to look in another direction. A massive-scale warship fleet was sailing over.

"Just right, our support has also arrived. The current situation... seems to have reversed." Morgan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

The Throne of Ruin was his trump card and would cause a great burden on his body.

In a situation where the enemy didn't have a Super Lifeform appear, he wouldn't actively use the Throne of Ruin.

He scanned the surrounding battlefields, saying indifferently: "Did you prepare a Super Lifeform for this operation? If not, then you can only accept the result of defeat."

"What if I did prepare one?" Li Yu chuckled softly.

"Mhm..." Morgan pondered for a moment, then said: "Then you can barely delay for a period of time, but the outcome won't change."

Imperial Nobles were not just for show. Every Noble could support a Long and protracted Interstellar War, possessing unimaginable foundations.

And now, the Empire, to be safe, had dispatched two Nobles, enough to deal with the current situation.

Even if the Other-Dimensional Camp's power exceeded estimates, with the hidden Stargate, the Empire could still provide rapid support.

The Star Glory Empire was his source of confidence!

"I haven't completely failed yet. Isn't it a bit too early for Your Excellency to say this?" Li Yu withdrew his gaze, his tone inscrutable.

………

At the same time, Nikas, hidden at the edge of the battlefield, staring at the approaching support fleet, was Muttering Curses:

"Damn, how did I get on Li Yu's pirate ship? If I destroy the Star Glory Empire's Stargate this time, the enmity will be massive."

"But if I don't go..."

Thinking of this, Nikas felt another wave of sorrow. Even Loyd, the First Successor of the Empire, was manipulated by Li Yu.

With my small body, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be enough for him to play with for a day.

"Forget it... Do it. It's too late to get off the ship now." He gritted his teeth, found the direction the support fleet came from, concealed his figure, and headed in the opposite direction.
