Chapter 276: The Third Party Appears
The surface of Terra was silent.
The gunfire that had raged for days fell silent at this moment.
Both sides of the battle looked up together toward the sky.
In orbit, all of Longlin Star's artillery fell silent, and all energy was channeled into the core's ancient artifact, sustaining the massive spacetime tunnel.
The spacetime tunnel did not shock either side much.
What truly astonished everyone was the identical Terra at the other end of the tunnel, and the massive fleet surrounding it, equal in size to our own.
Moreover, looking at the opposing fleet, many on the battlefield—especially the rebels—throats tightened in unison.
Because unlike the fleet Xisi just brought, which included ten starships that raced like a single rider, the rest were mostly hastily built micro warships.
Although numerous, their construction time was evident, and their quality was completely crushed by the Rebel Forces' fleet.
Now, the fleet on the other side of the tunnel has none of that problem.
Some Rebel Forces ships nearer the tunnel, peering through their port windows, saw just a corner, yet the Empire's core warships included no fewer than a hundred Moon-class cruisers.
And the Green Skin's massive stone vessels were everywhere in the fleet sea!
At this moment, the moment they detected the tunnel, these warships instantly ignited their engines.
The massive fleet surged straight through the tunnel.
Even from a great distance, the colossal Waaagh from the soul level already reverberated in everyone's ears.
"Two indomitable fleets, nine great Xisi Empires!"
"Perhaps it cannot compare to the military strength at the height of 30K."
"But..."
"Strike you Helusu, enough!"
On Longlin Star's surface, Xisi still stood in place.
His primary task now is to protect Longlin Star so that 40K reinforcements can continuously pour into the battlefield.
Moreover, maintaining a spacetime tunnel of this scale on Longlin Star is extraordinarily costly.
Furthermore, the surrounding Rebel Forces' fleet can instantly see that Longlin Star is the foundation; its deadly barrage coverage and Void Shield protection both rely entirely on Xisi's Hundredfold Amplification.
Thus Xisi must remain on Longlin Star and cannot go elsewhere.
However, Xisi is not overly worried about being unable to leave, because if Xisi does not go after Helusu, Helusu's people will naturally come looking for him!
The surface of Terra at this moment.
Beside Terra, a massive celestial body was docked, opening a spacetime tunnel that summoned a fleet even larger than our own from the other side.
Helusu's steps toward the palace suddenly halted uncontrollably.
The scene at this moment was spectacular.
Especially when viewed from Terra's surface.
The colossal Longlin Star, at almost face-to-face distance, appeared from Terra's surface like a massive iron sphere covering the entire sky.
Countless Yunxuji and industrial demons shuttled continuously between the iron sphere and Terra's surface.
Although Longlin Star entered the spacetime tunnel state, it could no longer serve as a moving starship as before.
However, it could act as a temporary relay station for aid to Terra's forces.
Now, hordes of Whisperers, Extreme Warriors, endless Sith Kids, and mortal support troops are boarding Longlin Star from all directions, then joining the continuously resurrected industrial demons to pour incessantly onto Terra below.
At that moment, where Helusu looked, the airborne Xisi legion had amassed enough to outnumber his rebel troops, forcing him to stay put and first devise a way to eliminate the nearby Xisi legion.
And the palace, which clearly had only a few remaining gates.
Its interior tore open a Subspace rift, from which endless industrial demons poured out, impossible to kill.
Moreover, the surviving thousand sons crossed artillery and rebel blockades, forcibly setting up a teleportation array inside Terra's palace.
From the array, wave after wave of Sith Kids and mortal support troops surged forward; despite being led by several Original Bodies and great demons, their virtually endless numbers made it impossible to advance even a single step.
Even as Helusu looked, he saw a great demon being dragged back into Subspace by an Ancient Beastman accompanied by a dozen elite guards, along with a large number of LupiLaoda and Astra, forcibly exiled back to Subspace!
Great demons being exiled to Subspace on a battlefield like Terra is not new; even Helusu and the Terra side have become accustomed to it.
But what Helusu could not accept was that the one charging forward with the elite guards was, damn it, a Green Skin!!!
Don't tell me it's some green alien; I, Helusu, won't buy that!
And the thought that the empire he wishes to annihilate had already sunk to collude with the Green Skin made Helusu lose all restraint, his eyes flashing with an even stronger urge to destroy the empire.
Just as Helusu was about to order to ignore Xisi and Longlin Star, he rushed to kill the false emperor before Xisi's massive army could arrive through the tunnel.
Facing the palace, as another teleportation array brightened again, the sight before him made Helusu unable to...
Xisi needs to hold down Longlin Star, truly unable to leave.
But the team Xisi has built over the years can!
At this moment, the scene Helusu saw left everyone, including Helusu himself, utterly stunned!
Angelon and Motarian flapped their flesh wings to fly beside Helusu, while Fogrem twisted his worm-like body to crawl up the high wall.
There were also over a dozen Four Gods great demons, among them even Bilake.
Logically, Helusu's side could be called an all-star lineup.
Yet the opposite side, which should have been thinly staffed, at this moment also fielded a lineup no weaker than theirs!
Saint Giless, Rogdoen, and Chagatai Khan need no introduction.
What truly stalled everyone was the influx of personnel from Longlin Star and the palace.
Leading the front were Washituoer and Makado!
Behind them followed four Ancient Beastmen, plus Luo Jia and Kiriman.
Also added were the elite guard commander and Wanfulian, along with Bunoke, these ultimate mortal warriors.
Opposite Helusu, there was a feeling of a dazzling galaxy of stars.
Moreover, behind this group a tide of low‑level troops kept pouring out directly from the teleportation formation and Subspace rift; this time, not only Helusu but even Angelon did not rush forward at once.
Instead, the people on Helusu's side stared blankly at the opposite side, then all turned to look at Helusu.
Helusu's mouth twitched wildly, and the battle in the sky above was already getting more chaotic.
As the arriving 40K army grew larger, both time and the situation had completely ceased to be on Helusu's side.
And after hesitating for a long while, they wondered whether the Four Gods were also bewildered at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Helusu thought it over with his own mind and suddenly spotted an obvious weakness.
He said nothing, only under the gradually widening gazes of Luo Jia, Wanfulian, Bunoke and other old followers of Xisi.
Helusu turned his gaze toward the sky where only Xisi remained...
Longlin Star!
