Astrology and the Undead

That's true, but when the enemy fleet was poised to strike and approach, the other fleets in the Federation Military District were not as calm Lieutenant Colonel Weiss.

The enemy fleet was larger than theirs to begin with, with four medium-sized warships leading the charge.

Behind them were nearly ten small ships, including hundreds of frigates.

Clearly, they had made preparations in advance and planned to annihilate them in one fell swoop after this wave of attacks.

Their side had just experienced a high-energy planetary explosion, and it would take time for the three medium-sized ships to recover their combat capabilities.

Meanwhile, the other side, having rested and prepared, launched a crushing attack with an almost certain victory.

The two sides started fighting as soon as they met and got close.

The opposing warships were fully prepared and launched the first attack.

A dozen neutron cannons fired simultaneously, targeting three medium-sized warships that were still under repair.

Strike while the iron is hot, attack with maximum force, and hold nothing back.

In a short time, the decisive battle between the two sides arrived ahead of schedule.

The Thirty-Ninth Central Army, which had initially held the advantage and pressed forward relentlessly, is now caught in this crisis.

Just then, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss appeared in front of several warships.

Holding the staff, a blue energy beam began to spread out from beneath his feet.

The beam of light swept across the entire battlefield at incredible speed, and a massive six-pointed star array illuminated the entire star field of battle.

The dozen or so neutron cannons that were supposed to hit the three warships were suddenly cut off out of thin air.

The next moment, under the flashing of the six-pointed star array, all the neutron cannons attacked the enemy warship from all other directions.

I never expected him to be an astrologer.

Lister silently observed the battle situation, having prepared to act when the neutron cannon fired.

The enemy's advance was fierce. Although he was not afraid of the enemy leader Marquez's strength, the siege by so many warships was still a great test for him.

Even with his massive health pool of millions, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this level of direct confrontation!

Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss lived up to his reputation as Quasi-Hegemon.

Moreover, it is a rare profession among magic-based professions: Astrologer.

Lister had only heard of this profession in his previous life, but had never witnessed it firsthand. Now, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's methods had truly opened his eyes.

The six-pointed star formation beneath their feet could even deflect attacks like those from a neutron cannon.

The surging purple energy beams annihilated the escort ships and then bombarded the rest of the vessels.

Soon, fewer than ten small ships were breached by their own attacks.

At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss moved in one step and instantly appeared at one of the points in the hexagram.

It is also a spatial displacement, and this displacement method seems much more sophisticated than Lister's Flash. Of course, it also has more limitations and cannot escape this astrological array.

The entire massive hexagram array shifted and moved in tandem with Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's movements.

In the distant starry sky, a beam of light suddenly appeared from that point and converged on Lieutenant Colonel Weiss.

[Health Points: 484512/484512 (Rapidly increasing)]

This must be the so-called Celestial Phase skill; an SS-level, World-Ending Level skill, its extraordinary nature is immediately apparent upon its release.

And Lieutenant Colonel Weiss didn't stop moving; he flashed to the side again.

The enemy warship, which had just been attacked by its own neutron cannon, suddenly glowed red, and flames even broke out in some areas, as if the entire ship was being scorched.

Moreover, the intensity of the burning was extremely high, and even the main materials of a small ship could not withstand it.

Only medium-sized ships can barely withstand the damage for now, but most areas are also severely damaged.

This unpredictable and bizarre fighting style involves unprovoked attacks made entirely by utilizing stellar phases.

Especially with the Astrological Phase Array of the hexagram, all phase attacks are greatly amplified, making them extremely powerful.

Their various attack methods are also unpredictable, which explains why most martial arts professions are at the bottom of the Galactic Federation.

Lister was observing very carefully; in his previous life, he had only seen Overlord Tier combat power in the bosses of each scene.

Even though he encountered many Overlord Tier combatants in this life, such as Kavin, Hoffman, and Wang Yue had not yet fully matured.

But the first time I truly witnessed his opponent's attack was today, when Lieutenant Colonel Weiss went all out; only then could he truly assess his own strength.

As expected, none of the Overlord Tier should be underestimated, especially those from major classes other than martial arts, whose attack methods and techniques are the most threatening.

At least with Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's methods, after only two rounds of attacks, the enemy warships' advantage had vanished, and all the smaller ships had lost their combat capability.

Given the current situation, as long as the opposing leader doesn't flee, Lieutenant Colonel Weiss alone can complete this recruitment mission right now.

Lieutenant Colonel Weiss had clearly considered this as well, and he raised his staff high at that moment.

Endless energy surged, then slowly tilted a few degrees to the left, and the energy beam was immediately activated.

In Lister's perception, a star in the neighboring star system seemed to have been shifted slightly out of thin air.

The next moment, the six-pointed star array began to detach from Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's feet and solidify.

The outermost star array beams of light continuously rose from beneath our feet.

"Notification: You have been placed under confinement within this area, confinement level 17. (Note: The strength of this confinement is affected by the relative displacement of celestial bodies in the universe and may increase or decrease at any time.)"

Only now have Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's actions finally stopped.

Of course, the entire process from Lieutenant Colonel Weiss's solo appearance to this series of actions was completed in a very short period of time.

Now we've truly trapped them, and only the final push remains.

To everyone's surprise, the enemy's leading warship showed no signs of retreating, fleeing, or launching a hasty attack.

Instead, they took the lead in opening all the hatches of their warships, and the sound of orderly movement emanated from inside the ship.

Some of the soldiers were fully prepared for battle, ready to make a final stand.

However, those who actually emerged from within were not warriors from the Silver Mutual Aid Society.

Instead, it was an endless army of undead, skeletal and armed with various standard weapons.

Even before the army had fully launched its attack, souls were being Sacrifice continuously.

Through this Sacrifice, several giant undead bone dragons are being continuously reassembled from ordinary undead warriors!

At the same moment, a man also holding a staff emerged from the warship.

He had flowing white hair, wore a jet-black robe, and his eyes were particularly unusual, flashing with an eerie green light.

As the man pulled up the hood of his robe, concealing his white hair, he casually waved his staff in front of him.

Hundreds of thousands of undead of various kinds, as well as the three-headed undead bone dragon in the sky, all had icy green soul flames burning deep in their eye sockets.

Especially in the enormous eye sockets of the bone dragon, the incantations engraved in the green soul flames were particularly clear.

A deathly, oppressive aura swept over them, exerting an extremely strong sense of pressure.

Even Lister himself felt a sense of pressure, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Even Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, who had initially been confident of victory, now wore a serious expression.

Nothing more!

This Marquez's strength is far from what the intelligence reports suggest; he has already dropped to A-rank.

Based on current perception, it is absolutely indisputable S-rank.

Clearly, either the intelligence was wrong from the start, or this Marquez had already raised his strength back to S-rank while establishing the Silver Mutual Aid Society.
