Chapter 842: The First Battle of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance (10)

Bridge of the "Qingsuanzhe Hao".

Major General Jialuo slumped in the command chair, his face as pale as paper, cold sweat soaking through his officer's uniform.

The bridge was in shambles; half of the monitoring screens on the main display had turned to static, and alarm sirens blared one after another, though more prominent were the cries for help and collapse coming through the communication channels.

Outside, his fleet was falling apart under the siege of three enemy fleets; inside, that terrifying existence with wings was approaching unstoppably!

It was over... all over... the Weiguang Fleet... although it was only an exploration fleet under the Feng Qi Xing Alliance Entertainment Plaza, to be beaten like this... was he going to be buried here? Buried at the hands of an obscure indigenous planet?

No! He had to get the intelligence out! He had to let Director Fenisi know what was happening here! Know the true terror of these "indigenous people"!

Jialuo grabbed the last straw, his trembling fingers operating the Control Console frantically, attempting to bypass the chaotic battlefield communication network and connect directly to the encrypted channel of the "Entertainment Plaza" director, Fenisi.

"Quick... hurry..."

He muttered unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the progress bar of the communication link.

Just at this moment—

Boom!!!!!!!!

A loud noise, far more deafening than any explosion before, suddenly came from the thick alloy door of the bridge, which was theoretically capable of withstanding Energy Cannon attacks!

The entire bridge shook violently, and that heavy door, symbolizing the final dignity of the warship, developed a massive, inward-protruding dent in the center, its edges twisted and torn, revealing the fractured structure inside!

Before the terrified bridge crew could react—

Boom!!!!!!

A second loud noise followed immediately! That twisted door could no longer hold, and it burst inward with a crash!

Countless metal fragments shot into the bridge, tearing several operators near the entrance to pieces!

Fire and thick smoke poured in from the breach!

Amidst the billowing smoke and flying sparks, a tall figure, shining with the dual radiance of holiness and destruction, stepped with steady paces into the core command hub of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance warship "Qingsuanzhe Hao"!

Sanguinius's snow-white wings fluttered slightly, dispersing the dust, and a golden halo enveloped the entire bridge, suppressing even the blood-red alarm lights.

The tip of the Power Spear in his hand was still dripping with molten metal liquid.

No joy or anger could be seen on his flawless face, only a majesty that looked down upon all living beings.

His pale blue eyes swept across the bridge, and all the Fengqi personnel touched by his gaze were unable to move, even breathing becoming incredibly difficult.

"Drop your weapons, cease resistance. Kneel."

Sanguinius's voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the depths of everyone's soul, carrying an irresistible power.

Some mentally broken operators subconsciously dropped the Data Pads in their hands and collapsed to the floor.

Several loyal guards attempted to raise the Energy Pistols in their hands, but before they could pull the triggers—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Blood Angels Space Marines who had poured in following Sanguinius!

With precise shots from their Bolters or fierce strikes from their fists, those guards attempting to resist were instantly knocked down or sent flying, either dead or crippled!

"Control all exits! Disarm everyone! If there is any suspicious movement, kill without mercy!"

The Blood Angels Sergeant ordered coldly.

The Blood Angels Space Marines scattered rapidly, securing every key position and dragging those trembling Fengqi operators away from their seats.

The entire control process was executed without the slightest hesitation.

Major General Jialuo watched all of this in despair.

On the communication screen in front of him, the progress bar of the encrypted link finally reached the end—it had connected!

Director Fenisi's stunning face, carrying a hint of impatience, had just appeared on the screen.

But before Jialuo could say a single word, a large hand covered in golden ornate Armor gripped the back of his neck, an irresistible force surged, lifting him from the command chair and placing him onto the Control Console!

Bang!

Jialuo's face slammed heavily onto the alloy surface, his nasal bone shattered, blood flowing freely; he felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart, leaving only painful groans.

Sanguinius suppressed Jialuo casually with one hand, as if pinning down a struggling insect, while the other hand leaned on his Power Spear.

His gaze fell upon the communication screen that had just connected, which was displaying Fenisi's image.

Fenisi, on the other end of the screen, clearly also saw the chaotic scene and heard the screams on the bridge through the encrypted channel.

The signature smile on her face froze instantly.

She saw the destroyed door, saw those red-armored warriors, saw Major General Jialuo, covered in blood and pinned tightly to the console, and finally, her gaze met those deep, pale blue eyes before the screen that contained endless majesty.

Even across the endless starry sky, Fenisi felt a chill instantly shoot through her entire body.

Her pale green pupils contracted slightly, and her pointed ears twitched imperceptibly.

"... Truly... a breathtaking performance."

Fenisi quickly regained her composure, her voice still carrying a hint of languid charm, but if one listened carefully, one could detect the tension beneath it.

"It seems I severely underestimated the... potential of Xiuluo Holy Star. You are not lambs waiting to be slaughtered, but beasts disguised as rocks."

Sanguinius watched her calmly, not speaking, waiting for her to continue.

Fenisi laughed softly, attempting to regain the initiative.

"Then, powerful Guardian, perhaps we can talk in a different way? The Feng Qi Xing Alliance appreciates the strong. The power you have displayed is worthy of respect. Perhaps... we can cooperate? The Bode Star System, and even the vast star regions beyond, hold endless wealth and opportunities. Why fight to the death? The Feng Qi Xing Alliance can provide everything you need—technology, resources, and even... more tickets to the 'game'."

At this moment, Sanguinius said with an unquestionable tone.

"Alien, you have mistaken a few things."

"First, the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance will not submit to any power, especially one that views Humans as stakes and playthings."

"Second, we do not seek wealth or opportunities; we shoulder a more noble mission—to liberate all enslaved and oppressed Human worlds and restore the glory of Humanity."

"Third,"

Sanguinius's gaze looked directly at Fenisi.

"This 'game' should be played by the rules set by Humans."

The smile on Fenisi's face vanished, and her pointed ears tilted slightly backward in anger.

"Arrogant! You have no idea what you are facing! The power of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance is far beyond your imagination! Your actions today will bring destruction upon your planet! I guarantee that the next time they come, it will not just be the Weiguang Fleet!"

"Try it, then!"

"Hmph! We shall see!"

Hearing Sanguinius's brief reply, Fenisi let out a cold snort, a flash of malice in her eyes, and then cut the communication.

The Bridge was deathly silent, with only the painful gasps of Major General Jialuo and the faint humming of the Blood Angels Space Marines' Armor Servo Systems remaining.

Sanguinius released Jialuo and tossed him aside, and a Blood Angels Space Marine caught Major General Jialuo.

He turned around and looked at the fully controlled Bridge, as well as the starry sky outside the window, which was gradually calming down but still glowing with the fires of warship wreckage.

"Clear the battlefield and receive the surrender signals. Report to Horus: the Heretic main warships have been controlled, and the enemy Commander has been captured."
