Chapter 906: Chapter 679: Bloodbath on the Planet
“That is… an enemy attack!”
As those brown spheres soared into the air and abruptly exploded, forming a massive net of flesh suspended in the sky, Major roared out.
The cheers within the fleet came to an abrupt halt.
When the giant flesh net, towering thousands of meters high and spanning tens of thousands of meters wide, appeared, it was so sudden, so breathtaking.
The crew’s thoughts paused for a moment.
Those damned insects dared to attack them?
They were the pure HZ1 Assault Fleet composed of level seven warships.
The crew, who came to their senses, felt nothing but rage, the kind of rage that comes after being provoked by ants.
“Major, this time we can complete the task assigned by the General.” A Captain grinned.
The Major sneered, “Enter battle formation, this time let’s see the attack of these insects.”
With a pounding sound, seven giant crystal balls were once again launched from the deck, and the Sky Strike Lightning mode was activated again.
Boom!
A streak of lightning flashed across the sky, blasting a huge hole in the flesh net.
Another lightning flashed, breaking another hole.
Soon, countless lightnings flashed, riddling the flesh net with holes.
“Hahaha, not so tough, huh.”
The soldiers burst into laughter.
But just amidst their laughter, the ruptured brown flesh net began to wriggle, healing itself in just two or three seconds under the crew’s eyes.
“It can heal itself!?”
The Major was stunned, and at this incredible sight, his voice finally reflected surprise.
“Major, radar scans have failed, our detection signals have been isolated.”
“Then keep blasting, keep blasting until they can’t heal anymore! All ships prepare for assault.”
The crew responded with a roar, their fighting spirit rising once again; they had weathered countless storms over the years.
Yet, just as these assault ships were about to make a move.
The flesh net silently opened countless holes on its own.
Vast black shadows emerged from them.
Ruthless scarlet eyes simultaneously fixed on the irregular crystal in the sky, blood-red giant mouths opening wide.
“They’re all… those insects?”
The Major muttered dumbfoundedly, then his expression changed, “Fire!”
The dispersed assault ships opened all particle cannon power, blasting at the gigantic irregular crystal, causing it to shine brightly, akin to the sun.
The density far surpassing the previous lightning strike.
And at that moment, the Corruptors’ giant mouths finally spewed out clusters of green poison liquid fiercely.
The sheer number created a long river in the air the moment it was spewed.
“Major, there’s also a flesh net at the rear!” the communications officer reported loudly.
Just like the Guardians once treated the Taigu Mechas, sealing the evasion space with a flesh net and then covering it with poison liquid attacks.
Lightning had a devastating effect on Zeg Clan’s bodies, yet it had no effect on those rivers of poison liquid…
The two lead assault ships were instantly covered with a thick layer of poison liquid.
Sizzle~
A cloud of blue smoke rose, and in the Major’s pupils, those two warships appeared like candles nearing a melting furnace, melting into a pool of molten iron in the blink of an eye, dripping from the air.
No flames ignited, no screams sounded in their ears, only silent dissolution.
The scene of Mu Fan and the others escaping on a transport ship once again played out.
However, the difference was that back then, the attacker was merely a single Corruptor, attacking from tens of thousands of meters away.
Now, hundreds of Corruptors were attacking the trapped warships simultaneously.
Facts proved, if not for the isolation of Taigu’s gravity field back then, metal was simply too fragile in front of these corrosive poison liquids.
“Retreat!”
“Retreat!”
The Major’s voice rang out sharply, the level of this attack had far surpassed his expectations, and far surpassed the firepower that the assault fleet could endure at this moment.
The opponent’s numbers were entirely able to sustain considerable bombardment, their flesh net encircling the battlefield.
Thus, the advantage of the assault ship—firepower and speed, was completely targeted.
The biggest disadvantage—defense, was infinitely magnified in this moment.
But the Major is completely unaware that the insect swarm at the moment is driven by a battle instinct, and if the Brain Worm joins, they might not even have time to react.
As the remaining five Assault Ships were about to turn around, the flying spider smaller than the Corruptor—Guardian, suddenly opened its giant fang-filled mouth, with its abdomen bulging high.
Clusters of brown spheres suddenly fired swiftly.
In the dense rain of bullets, the speed of the five warships was not enough to avoid them.
They were instantly hit by several brown spheres.
Bang!
Upon impact, the brown spheres spread into a massive web of flesh, tightly entangling the warships.
It acted almost like a beacon, as the following brown spheres hit consecutively, the parts attached to the armor of the Sky Strike Lightning Assault Ship emitted a sizzling sound, and deep marks began to corrode the ship’s body.
“Power falling abnormally.”
“Engine power down to 70%, 60%, 50%…”
Boom!
In the Major’s eyes, the warship on the side was hit by a mass of corrosive poison liquid at the engine flame mouth, and exploded dramatically.
“Damn it, let’s fight these bugs, for the Federation!”
“Sky Strike self-destruct!”
The Major heavily pressed a button, countless electric sparks flickered in the irregular crystal, heavily striking the Assault Ship.
This time it was as if the energy reactor was struck by lightning, and a terrifying sea of fire rose from the sky.
“For the Federation!”
The soldiers, seeing the destroyed ship with desperate eyes, shouted loudly and pressed the self-destruct button.
Three consecutive reactor explosions completely painted the whole sky into a sea of fire, directly swallowing the nearest few Guardians with fire waves.
HZ1’s Third Submarine Fleet thus completely vanished from Planet 131.
The insect swarm that lost its target started to retract the crimson from their eyes, the giant web faded away…
However, the shadows on the ground and sky were multiplying.
Moreover, in their perception, the great new leader seemed to be descending soon.
“Expand territory… massacre life forms… gain energy… gain energy!”
The cruel compound eyes of the insects looked afar.
There was a scent of high crystal stone in the distance!
The flying Zeg swarm gently vibrated their wings and then directly spread outwards.
Even though their eyes began to regain their hollow and dazed look, the overwhelming numbers clearly reported back to the command room.
…
Su Qi’s body shook all over, within ten minutes after getting communications, he saw his Submarine Fleet… seven warships… completely annihilated.
By those terrifying and huge creatures, not even a trace of remains was left, both ships and people were completely wiped out in the skies over the wasteland 1500 kilometers away.
His elite troops, those admirable lads, couldn’t even leave a last word, just shouted “certain victory” and “for the Federation” before dying in battle.
“I will kill them!”
Su Qi’s chilling voice emerged from his chest, raising his dark face, he stared at Gerald, his eyes blood-red.
“Vice Admiral, didn’t you need the minerals over there? From now, my fleet will join the Blue Dawn! I have only one request… slaughter those damn insects! I want nothing else, not battle merits, not minerals… they are all yours! I just want the lives of those insects!”
Gerald’s fierce aura began to climb again, he looked at Su Qi, “The Federation’s warriors won’t die in vain. My Blue Dawn Fleet will wipe these insects off this planet!”
He shouted backward, “Lieutenant!”
“Get me connected to the Federation Military Department, tell them that I, Gerald have discovered the Zeg’s lair, I want to slaughter these damn insects. Blue Dawn will cleanse this planet with the enemy’s blood!”
“Yes!”
The lieutenant outside the command room resolutely responded.
All of the Blue Dawn fleet warships, a total of 2400 ships… at least 6-level warships formed a terrifying fleet, dispersed the clouds, and with a thunderous momentum pressed towards the other side of the planet!
8-level warship [Blue Curtain], 8-level warship [Snow Wind], simultaneously initiated.
The fangs from Blue Capital Star’s military finally fully revealed at this moment!
And at this moment, on Shadow Island, which has completely left the asteroid belt heading towards the gray zone.
Black muttered to itself, “I wonder if the Federation has gone head-to-head with those damn bugs yet? Hope they’re not easily sliced like vegetables.”
Mu Fan stood in front of the gigantic floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the magnificent cosmic view outside, coldly saying, “This is a species war, and if cards are put on the table… the Federation definitely won’t be so weak.”
“The certainty is, the insects won’t be so easily exterminated; the Federation Fleet’s losses will surely make some people feel the pain, finally allowing me to see who the real power behind Blue Capital Star is…”
“Black, arrange a spaceship for me, it’s time to return to the academy.”
Lowering his head, Mu Fan looked at the prismatic crystal in his hand, with a cold black aura flickering in his eyes.
