He directly pushed the Black Hole Engine to maximum power, breaking away from the Crusader Army's main force, which was still advancing at cruising speed, and headed toward the intercepting fleet ahead.
Randall did not even give a pre-battle speech. A single sentence was enough to drive every soldier in the legion into a frenzy.
"Advance! Purge all heretics!"
For a civilization like the Black Church, nothing stirred greater fanaticism than purging heretics.
Forward, forward, ever forward!
Kill, kill, and kill again!
All heretics would be purged completely.
For the one true god, the Lord of Darkness!
However.
A day later.
Once the distance had closed enough for them to ignore the interference with their observations and finally see the enemy fleet in its entirety.
Randall froze.
This...
was not the fleet of that Tri-Union Civilization. Its warship designs were completely different, and...
there were a full three legions. That was not something his single legion could handle!
Realizing this, Randall immediately contacted Archbishop Piris, intending to report the situation and have the Crusader Army's main force speed up and join the battle.
But Lin Fan clearly had no intention of giving him that chance.
Nearly a thousand Civilization Guardians transformed directly into vanguards and charged in while the enemy was still slightly sluggish.
These were nearly a thousand Black Hole Lifeforms, and they were fighting in Black Hole Cavity Space, where their strength was not suppressed.
They might not be able to wipe out Randall's legion quickly, but breaking it in a very short time would not be a problem.
And the battle developed exactly that way. Already hesitant due to the unexpected situation, Randall was hammered by nearly a thousand Black Hole Lifeforms until his entire legion's formation descended into chaos.
Voices kept shouting over the communications channel.
