Chapter 839: The First Battle of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance (7)

~7 min read 1,394 words

Bridge of the Fengqi Star Alliance flagship, Qingsuanzhe Hao.

Major General Jialuo stood before the main console, his originally calm face now clouded with gloom.

His fingers tapped against the alloy surface, making a "clack-clack" sound, his gaze locked onto the holographic star map.

On the star map, the light points representing his Weiguang Fleet were engaged in fierce combat with the light points representing the Xiuluo Holy defense forces, the trajectories of energy beams and explosions densely intertwined.

However, the combat situation was far trickier than he had anticipated.

Although the fleet of those "indigenous" people still seemed to be at a disadvantage in numbers, their tenacious fighting spirit and the firepower, armor, and tactical coordination displayed by those unfamiliar warships completely exceeded the scope of a "primitive civilization."

Their small warships were charging the formation of the Weiguang Fleet, and the main guns of those cruiser-class warships could even pose a substantial threat to the shields of his own capital ships!

"Report! An emergency distress signal has come in from the '... Hao'! A large-scale boarding action has broken out internally! The invaders are assault teams of the Xiuluo Holy Indigenous! Their destructive power is extremely high! Multiple key areas are damaged! Requesting support!"

The Communications Officer's hurried voice carried a hint of panic.

"The engine room of the '... Hao' cruiser has been hit by enemy torpedoes! Power has dropped by 40%! It is withdrawing from the combat sequence!"

"The '... Hao' destroyer has been hit by the main gun of an enemy cruiser! Shields are overloaded! The hull is severely damaged!"

Bad news followed one after another.

Jialuo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

These Xiuluo Holy Indigenous... what on earth is their background?! This kind of combat power, this level of technology... the intelligence error from Director Fenisi is far too great!

This is not a relaxed hunt at all, but a head-on war of attrition!

Just at this moment, the Radar Officer's voice suddenly rose.

"Major General Jialuo! Emergency! The detectors have picked up large-scale hyperspace fluctuations! On the flanks and rear of our fleet! The quantity... the quantity is extremely high! They are manifesting rapidly!"

"What?!"

Jialuo jerked his head up, his pupils contracting.

"Are they enemy reinforcements? Where did reinforcements come from?! Analyze the signal characteristics immediately!"

On the holographic star map, right on the periphery of the airspace where the Weiguang Fleet was locked in fierce battle with the Xiuluo Holy defenders, a dense and astonishing number of new blue light points suddenly lit up.

They spread out rapidly, forming a massive encirclement!

Its scale even exceeded that of this Xiuluo Holy fleet currently struggling in battle!

The designs of these newly appeared warships were of the same lineage as the Xiuluo Holy fleet below, but they seemed even newer, and their formation was even more orderly!

Their main guns had already begun charging, and without exception, the muzzles were pointed at the Weiguang Fleet trapped in the center!

"Characteristic analysis complete! The energy signature... is highly consistent with the Xiuluo Holy Planet defense fleet below! It is... it is their reinforcements! We are surrounded!"

Major General Jialuo only felt a chill shoot from his spine to the top of his head, leaving him almost suffocated!

These indigenous people... not only did they hide their strength, but they also hid an entire massive fleet?! How is this possible?! Where did they get the resources? Where did they train the crew?!

This is simply a meticulously laid trap!

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The Weiguang Fleet is facing both the planetary defense forces and a larger, fresh force that has been waiting at ease, and they are in a state of being surrounded... the outcome is almost foreseeable!

"All ships! Adjust formation immediately! Turn! Prioritize responding to the periphery..."

Jialuo's response order had not yet been fully issued.

Boom!!!!

A violent impact and explosion from inside the hull suddenly arrived!

The entire Qingsuanzhe Hao shook violently because of it!

The bridge lights flickered, and the alarm sound rose to the highest level!

"Report! The armor belt in B Zone above the hull has encountered a high-intensity impact! Multiple high-energy objects detected penetrating! It is... it is assault landing pods! The enemy assault landing pods have broken through our close-in defense fire net and successfully landed!"

"What?! At this distance? Braving our firepower?!"

Jialuo was both shocked and furious.

"Immediately mobilize internal guard troops! Head to B Zone! Block them at the landing point! Leave none alive! Activate internal defense turrets!"

He pulled up the surveillance footage near the B Zone landing point, wanting to see which death-defying fellows dared to directly board his flagship.

On the main screen, several surveillance feeds were filled with static due to explosions and interference, but a few lenses still captured the tragic state of the landing area.

In the footage, thick smoke billowed from the breach where the landing pod had exploded, and flames raged.

The dark purple-armored Fengqi internal guard troops were pouring out from various passageways, energy rifles and energy weapons spraying dense firepower, attempting to suppress the invaders at the breach.

However, the next second, Jialuo saw a sight he would never forget!

A dazzling golden light, like a small sun, erupted violently from the thick smoke!

Wherever the light reached, the energy beams fired by the Fengqi soldiers seemed to collide with an invisible wall, scattering and dissipating one after another!

Immediately following, a tall figure stepped out from the light, one step at a time!

He was clad in magnificent, sacredly gleaming golden power armor, a pair of incomparably huge, snow-white wings suddenly unfurling behind him, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure and a sense of pure power!

He held a spear in his hand with an ancient design yet containing terrifying power, the tip of the spear glowing with sunlight-like radiance!

Sanguinius's flawless face carried compassion and majesty, but in those blue eyes, what was burning at this moment was a cold flame that purified everything!

Facing the dense firepower raining down, his wings flapped gently, and a soft yet indestructible golden halo expanded, blocking all attacks completely!

He waved the power spear in his hand casually, and a crescent-shaped, massive golden blade of pure energy swept out!

Sshhh—!!!

Wherever the light blade passed, the alloy walls were sliced open smoothly! Seven or eight Fengqi soldiers who could not dodge in time were cut in half, along with their armor!

Severed limbs and internal organs splattered everywhere!

Their attacks hadn't even been able to leave a single mark on that golden armor!

"Monster! Open fire! Concentrate fire!"

A Fengqi officer roared at the top of his lungs, his voice distorted by fear.

More firepower poured out, but Sanguinius merely turned his Spear with elegance, and all attacks were once again deflected and bounced away by that invisible force field and his shining wings!

He took a step forward, and the floor trembled!

The Spear thrust out again, at a speed so fast that the naked eye could not capture it at all!

A golden stream of light flashed by, and a Fengqi heavy weapons specialist attempting to fire a Missile, along with the launcher on his shoulder, were instantly vaporized!

This was not a battle at all; this was a one-sided crushing and purification of mortals by a god!

Major General Jialuo stood frozen in place, his mouth agape, his pupils shrunk to pinpricks due to extreme shock and terror.

The Data Pad in his hand slipped to the floor with a "clatter," and the screen shattered into pieces.

The Adjutant and operators behind him were also all dumbfounded; inside the Bridge, only the monotonous alarm sounds of the instruments and the short, final screams of his own soldiers coming from the surveillance monitors remained.

"That... what is that thing?!"

Jialuo's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with incredulous fear.

"Xiuluosheng... how could there be such a... such a..."

He could not find the appropriate words to describe that existence who was slaughtering everyone on the surveillance screen.

At this moment, all his pride, all his tactical planning, and all his chances of victory completely collapsed before that figure who was waving snow-white wings and massacring the guards.

Boundless wealth? Now he only felt that it was a bottomless Shenyuan opening its giant maw toward him!
