The massive Chaka flagship had long since lost its earlier swagger. Its shields were completely shattered, and a fifth of its hull was badly damaged.
Thousands of ugly Chaka corpses drifted through space.
The remaining Chaka warships were also suffering fierce attacks from the Eternal Fleet. Alerts about various warship shields being severely damaged echoed without end.
Qingyang had originally planned to make a serious entrance to intimidate the enemy, but after seeing what the Chaka Race looked like, he found them utterly unbearable and decided to wipe them all out.
Facing the Eternal Fleet's overwhelming firepower, the two warships closest to the flagship moved across in front of it, hoping to cover the flagship's warp escape.
"Gah gah gah! The warp engine has been destroyed!!" The Chaka Leader crawled to his feet, even more despairing.
This fleet of unknown origin possessed technology far beyond the Chaka Civilization's. They were at least elite warships from a Level 5 Civilization!
After frantically operating the controls for a long while, the leader attempted to send the information back to his civilization.
[Warning! Warning! High-intensity energy lock detected]
Bzzzz~
A beam gleaming with golden light suddenly swept across them, directly slicing the two Chaka warships shielding the damaged flagship in half.
They exploded on the spot.
Ordinary Chaka warships with shields under two thousand energy levels were no different from paper before the Radiant Moon Battleship's penetrating main cannon.
With no warships sacrificing themselves to block the attacks, the shieldless flagship was completely exposed to the Eternal Fleet's firepower. Several secondary cannon shots cleanly destroyed the flagship for good.
On the Taiyi, Qingyang ordered free engagement against the Chaka warships.
At the same time, his gaze fell upon the enormous Seed Ship. "Guxing, take your squad and sixty Dark Mantis Mechs to deal with the enemies inside.
The Chaka Civilization's ground forces consist only of those mechs, and there aren't many of them.
Also, be careful of the Chaka mechs' long-range firepower. Guxue isn't good at defense or frontal combat, so remember to bring a Shadow Edge Mech."
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately began preparing. At the same time, a Shadow Edge Mech appeared behind Guxue.
Energy circuits lit up across the Shadow Edge Mech's body. Dense mechanical components began contracting and condensing, turning into particles that covered Guxue.
In the end, the Shadow Edge Mech condensed into an exquisite two-meter-tall suit of armor. Dense circuits flickered across the lightweight black battle armor.
Eight powerful Floating Cannons slowly drifted around her.
[Armor Mode. Epic Ability Energy detected. Replace the original reactor power supply?]
[Epic Energy power supply will increase base defense and weapon damage by 50%]
Guxue immediately said, "Confirm."
The Armor Mode of special mechs had originally been designed for abilities and Ancient Martial Artists. It consumed little energy, even less than Guxue used casting a few skills.
Guxue activated her two Light Blades and various long-range weapons, her pretty face beneath the visor full of smug delight.
"Hehe, big bro, how about I wear this and we spar one-on-one afterward?"
"No."
Guxing glanced at the armor's energy circuits. They gave off Mid-tier Level 5 Energy fluctuations, so he refused outright.
Once everything was ready, the Assault Unit activated. Guxing and the others, along with dozens of mechs, immediately appeared inside the Seed Ship.
"Thirty Dark Mantis Mechs will head to this warship's central area and rescue this civilization's higher-ups. The rest will come with me to the main combat zone." Guxing had roughly reviewed the scan results before giving the order.
Thirty Dark Mantis Mechs shot into the air!
The outer defensive line of the command hall.
Over a hundred Octopus Mechs followed their programmed intelligence as they steadily advanced toward the command hall, powerful dark-red beams roaring continuously.
Violent explosions erupted along the massive battle line. The Stan People, who had yet to develop individual shield technology, suffered devastating casualties.
Twisted tanks and mechs lay everywhere. Even fortresses with thick armor had all been destroyed.
Smoke and seas of fire covered the kilometer-long curved battle line, with wails echoing amid the sound of gunfire.
In contrast, they had sacrificed all the heavy firepower along the entire line just to destroy barely more than a dozen Octopus Mechs.
"Hold them back! Hold them back!"
The three thousand remaining soldiers on the line raised their energy rifles and frantically operated the few laser cannons they had left.
Within the smoke, the towering Octopus Mechs continued advancing at an unhurried pace.
Watching the unscathed Octopus Mechs emerge from the dust, even the Stan soldiers who had resolved to die could not help but feel powerless.
The command hall.
The head of state and the others stared at everything unfolding on the screens in utter shock.
Their eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
The Chaka fleet, which had originally crushed the fleeing Stan fleet, was now being slaughtered one-sidedly by a mere nine warships. The shields of Chaka warships, which Stan warships had struggled to shake, were torn apart as easily as scraps of paper.
The fleeing Stan fleet could still threaten more than a dozen Chaka warships, yet before these mysterious, magnificent, powerful warships, the Chaka fleet's full firepower had failed to harm them in the slightest.
They had not even broken the shield of a single mysterious warship.
The Chaka fleet in space kept erupting in flames. Armor and hull fragments drifted through the surrounding void with the explosions, and heavily damaged Chaka warships occasionally suffered secondary detonations.
Twenty minutes ago, the Chaka fleet had been swaggeringly crushing the Stan fleet. Yet after only twenty minutes of battle, the Chaka fleet had completely collapsed!
These had to be powerful warships that only the Level 5 Civilizations at the center of the galaxy could possess!
Could this fleet from a Level 5 Civilization know that the Stan Civilization possessed precious resources?
The head of state grew extremely excited at the thought. The Stan Civilization had already been destroyed, so if this Level 5 Civilization wanted to seize those precious resources, it would inevitably come into conflict with the Chaka Civilization.
Following the usual conduct of high-level civilizations, they likely would not negotiate, but would attack the Chaka Civilization instead.
A Level 5 Civilization only needed a few thousand warships to wipe out a Level 4 Civilization, just as the Chaka Civilization had destroyed the Stan Civilization.
Rumble!
Suddenly, an extremely violent explosion and tremor came from the command hall.
The head of state and the others immediately snapped back to their senses and stared solemnly at the doors.
"All officers, issue your final orders to the troops under your command. The enemy is about to breach the command hall's defensive line!" The head of state tightened his grip on his gun.
He took one last deep look at the mysterious fleet on the screen, which was madly harvesting the panicked Chaka warships, and silently sighed. If only the Stan Civilization had been strong enough, strong enough to deal with every outside enemy.
How wonderful that would have been.
Boom!
The command hall doors shuddered violently.
The head of state immediately stared gravely at the slightly deformed doors. The entire command hall fell deathly silent!
Thud! Thud!
The command hall shook violently, the armored doors seeming to be struck over and over by something.
The deformation became increasingly severe, and every impact made everyone's hearts leap.
At last, the half-meter-thick armored alloy doors were smashed open completely. Then a massive black shadow flew into the command hall and slammed into the wall.
A severely twisted Octopus Mech!
"Hm??"
The head of state, who had already accepted death, froze. Then he heard the dense roar of weapons outside the doors.
Instinctively raising his head to look outside, the head of state's pupils contracted slightly.
The Stan soldiers around him stood in place with blank expressions, as if something utterly shocking had happened.
Not far from the battle line, dozens of Octopus Mechs had lost their usual unhurried attacking posture. They were rapidly moving about, their twelve mechanical arms firing dark-red lasers in saturation volleys, as though attacking something.
Then, just as three Octopus Mechs moved before the doors, a shadow flashed past. The three Octopus Mechs and their shields were directly split in half.
Next, a dark mech brimming with lethal aesthetics burst into the hall. Ignoring the instinctive gunfire from several guard soldiers, its deep-blue mechanical eyes swept across the immensely tense crowd.
At that moment, two Octopus Mechs charged over at high speed. Dozens of beams struck the dark mech's back directly, but as a thin shield lit up, every beam was blocked.
Two Floating Cannons flew out from either side of the dark mech. Two beams instantly blasted one Octopus Mech into fragments. Then, without even turning its head, the dark mech flung out a massive Light Blade, cleaving apart the approaching Octopus Mech along with its shield.
At the same time, the dark mech's deep-blue mechanical eyes had completely scanned the hall.
[Rescue target confirmed safe]
Taiyi.
A Star Network screen suddenly popped up.
[Verification complete—Stan Civilization—Pan-Human Civilization. Genes normal. Memetics normal.]
[Mental Will meets the Alliance Admission Mechanism standards.]
[Report to the Star Sea Human Alliance?]
Brothers, I don't know if I can update the second chapter today. It might be a little slow.
