"Second salvo ready!"

"Light Spear charging at ninety-eight percent! Macro Cannon ammunition loaded!"

"Target locked on Green Skin flagship!"

On the Bridge of the James Tong, the officers' voices carried a slight Trembling.

Outside the Window, that massive green iron pot was still approaching at an astonishing speed, melted Metal constantly dripping from its Hull, like a monster's drool.

Dominic still held his Wine Cup, but had long since lost the Mood to continue drinking.

The Confidence and composure on his face had long vanished, replaced by a near-rigid gravity.

That salvo just now, sufficient to destroy any Main Ship, had actually been swallowed whole by that Strange big pot.

This had already exceeded all his Cognition of war.

But as a Wen Tu Li Ya Noble, an Empire Navy Rear Admiral, the pride in his bones did not allow him to show the slightest cowardice.

Even if the enemy were Evil Gods from the Warp, he still had to stand Here, fight to the last moment.

"Open Fire!" Dominic's voice remained firm.

"Boom!"

Another earth-shattering salvo.

Three Giant Skyfire Light Spears, like three blue Dragons, once more tore through the Universe, slamming hard into the Anna.

Following Closely behind was a Steel Torrent composed of hundreds of tons of Chuan Jia Po Dan.

Same as last time, the big pot in the center of the Anna once again opened that Abyss-like giant mouth.

All attacks were once again swallowed without suspense.

The iron pot closed, its Surface violently bulging, Distorted, emitting a teeth-aching metal grinding sound.

This time, the iron pot's Deformation was even more severe, several places blown open with fine cracks.

Dark green Sticky liquid Seeped from the cracks, condensing into beads in Space.

But it still did not break.

"Third salvo ready, continue firing, do not stop!" Dominic roared loudly.

He did not believe this broken pot could endlessly Devour attacks.

Everything has a limit.

As long as we keep attacking, there will come a time when we punch through it.

Before long, the third salvo arrived on schedule.

This time, the James Tong even deployed Reserve Thermal Bombs and plasma Torpedoes.

Even more dazzling Radiance illuminated the dark Universe.

The Anna's big mouth opened once more, swallowing all attacks.

"Crack~"

A crisp sound reached the Anna's Bridge.

At the iron pot's Edge, a massive crack finally appeared.

The Escort Captain shouted excitedly: "It's injured!"

Everyone on the Bridge exhaled in relief, their tense facial expressions relaxing somewhat.

Even Dominic, his tense Mouth Corner curved upward slightly.

Indeed, there is nothing the Empire's Cannon Fire cannot punch through.

But their relaxation lasted only a few Seconds.

Only to see that massive crack actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dark green Sticky liquid surged from the cracks, quickly filling the crack completely.

Not only that, the Anna, having devoured three salvos, actually swelled another circle in size.

The originally already enormous Hull was now nearly half again larger than the James Tong.

The green light on the Hull was even more dazzling, the waaaagh energy radiating from it even more Rampage.

The atmosphere in the James Tong's Bridge, just livened a little, froze again.

Everyone looked Yaya at the Anna on the screen, a strand of ice-cold chill rushing from their Feet straight to their crowns.

What kind of Monster is this?

It can not only Devour attacks, but also grow stronger by Devouring attacks?

Dominic's complexion turned somewhat pale.

His heart began pounding uncontrollably.

This was the First Time he felt the sensation called "Fear".

This is humanity's Instinct when facing the Unknown.

He had participated in countless wars, faced countless powerful enemies.

He had once single-handedly slain Chaos Space Marines, and led Fleets to Breakthrough other Green-skinned Warlord encirclements.

Participated in enough wars, seen enough enemies — this was the source of his Confidence.

But facing this kind of monster that completely defied common sense and could not be destroyed, any courage and tactics appeared so pale and powerless.

But he could not retreat.

He was Dominic Wenturia.

His pride did not allow him to retreat.

"It only has one ship." Dominic took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"No matter how strange and blasphemous it is, it is still only one ship."

"And it has already completely separated from the Green Skin main fleet."

"The boarding troops of one ship, even if they are Green Skins, how hard to deal with can they be?"

"As long as we hold the James Tong, when it exhausts its strength, that will be the moment of our victory."

His voice was not loud, yet it carried a power that made people calm down again.

The officers on the bridge gradually calmed down.

Right, it only has one ship.

The James Tong is one of the Empire's most powerful battlecruisers, with nearly a hundred thousand elite soldiers on board.

No matter how well Green Skins fight, it is impossible for them to occupy the James Tong in a short time relying solely on the troops of one ship.

"Third Escort Squadron, listen to my command!" Dominic shouted into the communication device.

"Move forward immediately, intercept the Anna! Delay its advance at all costs!"

"All combat personnel of the James Tong, listen to my command!"

"Close all valves, activate the highest level defense protocol!"

"Prepare for boarding battle!"

"Fortheemperor!"

"Fortheemperor!!!"

The earth-shaking roars of the soldiers came from the communication device.

The James Tong instantly entered a combat-ready state.

All armed personnel began turning toward the direction the Anna was approaching from.

Countless soldiers picked up weapons and laid down defensive lines in every corridor and cabin.

The Mechanical Priests prayed ceaselessly, wiping weapons and armor with holy oil, soothing the restless machine spirits.

Ralph drew the power sword at his waist, his gray eyes staring tightly at the Anna outside the porthole, every muscle in his body tensed, ready to throw himself into battle at any moment.

And the captain's quarters where Dominic was had long since been heavily garrisoned.

After receiving the order, the five Sword-class frigates of the Third Escort Squadron immediately turned their bows and charged straight at the Anna.

The Sword-class frigate is the most common escort ship in the Imperial Navy, and also the most balanced small warship.

The five frigates deployed in a fan formation, charging at high speed on one side while wildly pouring firepower at the Anna with close-in weapon systems and laser cannons on the other.

Countless bullets and lasers struck the Anna's heavy armor, scattering fine sparks, yet not leaving a single trace.

The Anna couldn't even be bothered to open its big mouth; it just ignored the five frigates' point-blank bombardment like that and continued approaching the James Tong.

"Increase firepower, hit it hard!" the Third Escort Squadron captain roared loudly.

He knew their mission was to buy time.

Even if it meant ramming with their own warships, they had to stop this monster.

The five frigates rushed to a position less than ten kilometers from the Anna.

Just then, the Anna suddenly stopped accelerating.

That big pot in the center of its hull slowly opened again.

This time, no light spears or cannon shells shot out.

That irresistible suction force burst forth from the big pot once more.

But this time the target was no longer the cannon fire filling the sky, but those five frigates!

"Alert! Alert! Detected super-strong gravity field!"

"Set engines to maximum power!"

"We are being pulled over!"

"Damn it! The power system has no problem, but we simply cannot shake off this suction!"

The captains of the five frigates simultaneously issued similar alerts.

They all pushed their engines to maximum power.

The frigates' sterns sprayed dazzling blue flames, trying to break free of this suction.

But it was all in vain.

That suction was too powerful.

Like countless invisible chains, it tightly bound the five frigates, dragging them bit by bit toward that abyss-like big mouth.

"Damn it, then accelerate and ram it!" the captain ordered in despair.

But it was already too late.

As they were sucked into the interior of the big pot, the big pot actually began to close.

Then, a hair-raising scene occurred.

The closed big pot began to spin, squeeze, and crush frantically.

Green radiance seeped out from the gaps of the pot.

The void shields of the five frigates, under the abrasion of that green light, saw their energy bars plummet at an astonishing speed.

"Void shield energy at fifty percent!"

"Thirty percent!"

"Ten percent!"

"Void Shield overload!!!"

In just one minute, the Void Shields of all five Escort Ships completely collapsed.

Having lost the protection of the Void Shields, the Escort Ships were like shucked oysters, exposing their soft Hulls within.

The Anna was like an impatient gourmand, caring for nothing else, only swallowing down this rare delicacy.

"Crunch, crunch~"

Only the crisp sound of metal bursting echoed within the Big Pot.
