Chapter 979: Battle Ongoing

The rumbling sound echoed between Hai Tian and the Sirens' fortress, which was divided into two major battlefields inside.

One battlefield was the clash between the Arbiter Siteliankus and Yujin Feilong, while the other battlefield was the fleet led by Bisimai versus the Testers.

Although most of the main force had been dispatched to the surroundings to blockade the fortress, the number of people remaining in the main battlefield was not large.

But those who could stay in the main battlefield were all elite troops. Moreover, adding to the fact that the Sakura Empire had previously wiped out the Testers once, even though the Testers now wore new equipment, their concept remained largely the same as before.

Therefore, under the guidance of Wuzang and Bisimai, this battlefield had firmly secured the advantage, and the downfall of the Testers was merely a matter of time.

"Gelüweng, attack!"

Only to see a huge Flying Dragon flapping its wings and flying near the Testers, exhaling a massive breath directly toward them.

Although the Testers wanted to defend, other attacks also restrained them, so Gelüweng's breath sprayed directly onto their bodies, burning their equipment to a crisp.

"Tsk, their growth rate is terrifying; in just a few short years they've reached this level, not even falling short compared to the original code-named monsters from the beginning."

"So this is the relationship with Heaven's Mandate? It's truly amazing; it's about time to withdraw, so let's put on one more grand performance." The Testers looked at their scorched equipment and couldn't help sighing.

Immediately a strange wave rose from her body, instantly putting Wuzang on alert.

"Everyone take note, the Testers' equipment has reached its limit; they are about to self-destruct, Vanguard Fleet withdraw immediately." Wuzang hurriedly said, after all, back then the Testers' self-destruction had caused some losses to the Sakura Empire, so she had been paying attention since the start.

When the Testers showed any abnormality, Wuzang reacted swiftly.

Although some people had doubts about Wuzang's order, they quickly responded and came over to retreat at high speed. Earlier, Gangqu had transmitted the information that the Sakura Empire had wiped out the Testers, showing that Wuzang knew the Testers' nature well; otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.

As the Vanguard Fleet withdrew, Bisimai responded, "All Main Force Fleet, hold at a safe distance and open full fire on the Testers, destroy them before they self-destruct! Even if we can't destroy them, we must reduce the power of their self-explosion!"

After this order was issued, the previously hesitating Main Force Fleet began to unleash furious output.

Countless shells and aircraft carrying Aerial Bombs exploded on and around the Testers, dispersing much of the rapidly spreading strange aura. Seeing their attacks work, everyone's output became even more frenzied.

Even the Vanguard Fleet, while withdrawing, used its own ship guns to attack.

Such attacks indeed lengthened the time the Testers needed to accumulate energy, allowing the Vanguard Fleet to retreat to a safe distance. However, the Testers' self-destruction was not easy to interrupt; although that strange aura had dissipated somewhat, its buildup was faster than its dissipation.

Finally, upon reaching the critical point, the Testers turned into a beam of light, and then violently erupted on the sea surface of the fortress area.

The largest explosion caused the sea surface of the entire area to generate towering waves tens of meters high, accompanied by the blast's energy wave, continuously pushing outward.

Even though the Vanguard Fleet had retreated to a safe distance, facing such waves, many were still knocked down onto the sea surface.

However, these waves came and went quickly; after they passed, the remaining personnel swiftly hauled the ships that had fallen on the sea back up.

"Report the losses of each squad." Looking at the somewhat disheveled crowd, Bisimai inquired via the communicator.

Soon the flagship of each squad reported their squad's status; although they had anticipated the Testers' abnormality early, the recent attack still inflicted some losses on the fleet. Fortunately, these losses were not great, and could even be said to be the minimum within the realm of possibility.

After hearing the report, Bisimai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the battle had so far only proceeded halfway, or even less than half, because the energy possessed by the Arbiter Siteliankus was absolutely beyond what the Testers could match.

Especially now, the battle over there had already entered a feverish pitch; if I led the corrected fleet into the fight, it would likely turn the tide of the entire situation.

"Everyone pay attention to use repair devices for simple fixes; once the minor repairs are complete, quickly join the battle against the Arbiter Siteliankus."

Responding voices rose one after another in the communicator; at the outbreak of battle, everyone carried repair devices, precisely to cope with this situation or any mishaps that might occur during combat.

Therefore, the repair process went smoothly, taking only a little time, and the fleet was already repaired.

A new round of battle also unfolded as everyone finished repairs at the same time. Since most people had prior experience fighting the Arbiter Siteliankus, after firing a few shots they quickly adjusted the trajectory so that the shells would land quickly within the Arbiter's damage range.

Obviously, with the fleet's addition, the battle against the Arbiter Siteliankus quickly gained an advantage. Especially the attacks of Yujin Feilong and Shenhuosite, etc., had improved from the previous state of high interception rate by the Arbiter to a state of higher hit rate.

Black blade qi occasionally slashed across the Arbiter Siteliankus' ship equipment, sending up sparks. Although most shells still were blocked by the gravity field when they fell before the Arbiter's eyes, many also directly struck her ship equipment.

The damage from the attacks continued, and everyone saw the dawn of victory.

And just then, the Arbiter Siteliankus leapt into the air with a sudden jump, then fiercely smashed toward the sea surface, using a weak gravity field to temporarily repel the Vanguard Fleet and a few Yujin individuals, after which a crystal-clear, crystal-like blue shield appeared above her head.

Along with the generation of this blue shield, the Arbiter Siteliankus' previously damaged ship equipment began to recover rapidly.

"Everyone immediately attack the Arbiter Siteliankus' shield to prevent her ship equipment from recovering!" Genaisennao, seeing the situation, hurriedly said.

"Understood, everyone immediately unleash their special skills and all firepower, targeting the Arbiter Siteliankus' shield!"

Bisimai had been waiting for this moment, and all the ships were also waiting.

Streaks of lightning and fire-like attacks, all at once, were directed at the Arbiter Siteliankus' shield, making the entire sea surface appear extraordinarily splendid.
