Three Sword-class frigates were swallowed whole directly, vanishing into the pitch-black big pot.
The other two frigates desperately turned at the last moment, yet still had their rear hulls bitten by the big pot.
Immense force cleanly severed the two 1.6-kilometer-long frigates at the waist.
Explosions' flames soared skyward.
The severed forward hulls rolled helplessly in space; the soldiers inside were either dead or wounded.
And the Anna, after swallowing roughly four frigates, actually opened its maw slightly.
A non-lethal shockwave sprayed from the great mouth.
Countless metal fragments, twisted weapon wreckage, and shattered human soldier corpses surged out along with the shockwave.
Like a sated man letting out a satisfied burp.
"The Emperor..."
The escort captain stared at the hellish scene on the screen, voice trembling as he spoke.
His face was written full of fear and despair.
This is no ship.
This is clearly a terrifying demon from the Warp.
The bridge fell into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned dumb by this horrifying sight.
They had seen countless enemies of varying abilities.
But they had never seen such a combat method.
No overwhelming firepower or psychic might — just a mouth, eating enemy warships alive.
Where did this come from? Is this still real space?
Dominic's body trembled slightly.
He stared unblinkingly at that colossus.
Five frigates, nearly one hundred thousand Imperial soldiers.
Just like that, within a few minutes, disappeared without a trace.
Not even a sliver of room to resist.
For the first time he began to doubt whether his decision was wrong.
Perhaps he should have listened to Lin En's suggestion and temporarily retreated.
But now, whatever is said is too late.
The Anna had already arrived before the James Tong.
Its massive bulk completely blotted out the starry sky outside the portholes.
On the James Tong's unlit corridors, utter darkness had completely taken hold.
The flashing alarm lights on the screen, and the green radiance emanating from the Anna, illuminated the soldiers standing guard duty in the corridors.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Large object approaching at high speed, estimated impact in ten seconds!"
"Void shields to maximum power!" Dominic snapped back to his senses and roared.
"All personnel, brace for impact!"
He walked to the center of the bridge, drawing his master-crafted power sword.
The decomposition force field on the blade activated, erupting with blue radiance.
"Soldiers!" Dominic's voice, broadcast across every corner of the James Tong.
"Vile xenos, using unknown blasphemous power, blocked our attack and devoured our comrades."
"They think that can defeat us?"
"No!"
"The James Tong still stands, we still stand!"
"We are the Emperor's warriors, we are humanity's guardians!"
"No matter how terrifying the enemy, we will not shrink back!"
"Take up your weapons, crush these xenos!"
"For the Emperor!"
The James Tong had no Commissar assigned, because Dominic himself was the best Commissar.
Nearly one hundred thousand officers and soldiers, pulled back from shock by Dominic's speech, returned to their senses.
Many of them had served on this ship since the day the James Tong was assembled complete at the Mars Forging World.
Following the James Tong, they had experienced countless cruel wars.
Having witnessed too much death and destruction, they were the Emperor's most loyal, most courageous warriors.
Even if the Evil Gods descended in person, they would dare raise weapons and charge.
Fear can never defeat them.
"Ten, nine, eight......"
The sound of the countdown rang out on the Bridge.
Everyone held their breath, tightly gripping the fixtures beside them.
"Three, two, one!"
"Boom~~~~!!!"
With a deafening roar, the entire World trembled.
The Anna slammed hard into the left side of the James Tong.
The tremendous Impact caused the James Tong to Shake violently.
Everyone on the Bridge was thrown about, stumbling left and right.
Dominic also staggered several steps before barely managing to steady himself.
He looked up toward the Porthole.
The Anna's giant maw was clamped dead tight onto the Left Wing Void Shield of the James Tong.
Green waaaagh Energy and blue Void Shield constantly Collided, rubbed, emitting sizzling Sounds, splashing countless Energy Sparks.
The Void Shield's Energy bar plummeted madly.
But this time, the Anna failed to bite through the James Tong's Defense as easily as it had Devoured the Escort Ship.
As the Empire's most Top-Tier Victory-class Battleship, the James Tong's Defense employed a multi-layered, multi-array Void Shield design.
The giant maw that could easily crush an Escort Ship's Void Shield was now firmly stuck above the James Tong, unable to advance a single fraction.
"Good, we blocked it!" the Escort Captain shouted Excitedly.
"That's right, it can't swallow us!"
The officers on the Bridge rekindled Hope once more.
Having lost the Devouring protection of its giant maw, the Anna's Hull was completely exposed to the Firepower of the other Human Warships.
"Relay my Command: all other Warships, immediately concentrate fire on the Anna's Hull!" Dominic ordered loudly.
"It can't move now, hit it hard for me!"
"Yes, Adult!"
The three Mars-class Battlecruisers and Dozens of Cruisers and Escort Ships hiding behind the Kal II immediately swiveled their Cannon Mouths, Opening Fire on the Anna's broadside and stern.
Countless lasers and Bao Dan rained down on the Anna's Hull like a violent storm.
Without the Big Pot's protection, the Green Skin's armor simply couldn't withstand the Human Fleet's Firepower.
Armor Plates were peeled away piece by piece, Explosions constantly erupting inside the Hull.
Green Skin Shrieks rang out incessantly.
"Hold on, just hold for Ten Minutes more!"
"The next Main Cannon salvo will destroy it!" Dominic's eyes were Ice Cold Determination.
As long as they endured these Ten Minutes, the Anna would be utterly destroyed.
This war, he still won.
