Preparing to Leave, Magic Sea Academy's Accident

Boom! Boom boom!

Beams wrapped in arcs of electricity streaked across the starry sky, grazing the hull of the Taiyi.

They directly shattered a large number of asteroids behind the Taiyi.

Dozens of starships broke through from different directions, pushing forward against the dense arcs of electricity.

Blinding beams and rays struck one after another, and the fierce firepower forced hundreds of disc-shaped Mecha warships in the distance to retreat steadily!

The shields of the foremost Mecha warships quickly shattered, and then exploded under the Eternal Fleet's assault.

"This is the fourth Moro Metal production area. We'll finish and head back," Qingyang said with a relaxed expression.

It turned out Qingyang's guess was correct; the Mecha fleet ambushing the Eternal Fleet was the local 'mine' defense force.

Under the overwhelming firepower of the Alliance's war stars, the defensive strength of the nearby Moro mines had indeed been significantly reduced.

After successfully acquiring over two hundred units of Moro Metal from the third mine, Qingyang rushed to the fourth mining area without delay.

This was also the last marked Moro mining area within tens of thousands of light-years.

Further out would require venturing deep into the Star Lake, or even to the other side of Qian Sen Star Lake, so Qingyang planned to stop after clearing this mine.

Currently, the Qian Sen Star Lake map was too advanced for the Eternal Fleet; they could only roam the outer edges at most.

Qingyang had come this time just to broaden his horizons, never expecting so many things to happen.

Blue and purple arcs of electricity rained down on the Taiyi's shields, splashing countless violent energy particles.

Dozens of ripples echoed and spread across the shields.

The Taiyi drew the main firepower, while two Chichen Battleships accelerated sharply from the sides, charging towards the flank of the Mecha fleet.

The Chichen Battleships and Radiant Moon Battleships suddenly accelerated, quickly breaking through the Mecha fleet's firepower coverage and heading straight for the weaker flanking artillery points of the Mecha fleet.

The remaining Cruisers followed closely behind the three main ships, opening fire at full power, their ship cannons firing at high frequency, suppressing the already precarious Mecha fleet.

Screech!

The Yuan Sha Main Cannon fired resolutely, its crimson beam piercing through dozens of Mecha ships in a straight line!

To maintain the intensity of their firepower against the Taiyi, the surrounding Mecha ships moved away from their original positions and converged on the Taiyi, unleashing a barrage of electric arcs!

Clearly, the Mecha had not calculated that the Eternal Fleet's shields were linked.

Dispersed attacks and concentrated fire made no difference to the Eternal Fleet; concentrating fire on the Taiyi would even drastically reduce the pressure on the Chichen Battleships' advance.

Finally, with several Cruisers, they fiercely charged into the Mecha fleet's formation!

The powerful and dense broadsides of the high-end starships poured out madly, throwing the entire Mecha fleet into disarray.

Faced with this situation, the Mecha's control modules, as always, chose close-quarters combat.

This played right into Qingyang's hands.

The scales of victory began to tip.

As the last medium-sized Mecha ship detonated, the fourth mining area completely fell into Qingyang's hands.

After quickly collecting the Moro Metal mined by the Mecha, the Eternal Fleet showed no intention of lingering and immediately entered subspace to depart.

Even though the scale and number of Lost Mecha in Qian Sen Star Lake were far less than in the outside world, they were still Mecha!

A fleet composed of tens of thousands of Mecha warships was merely the defense force of the nearby mining area; the total number of warships was certainly far more than tens of thousands.

If they were caught again by a Mecha fleet equipped with a War Fortress, they would have no choice but to warp away.

Qingyang looked with satisfaction at the over a thousand units of Moro Metal, then turned to face the fantastical Star Lake scenery outside the bridge.

He sighed with emotion.

This famous Star Lake fulfilled most of his fantasies about the wonders of the universe.

But it was time to leave!

Qingyang did not intend to waste too much time in Qian Sen Star Lake. Although it was rich in treasures and rare resources, these were not things a mere T8 Fleet could access.

The most exciting parts were all in the inner regions of Qian Sen Star Lake!

Qian Sen Star Lake, with a diameter of hundreds of millions of light-years, had already presented many insurmountable crises to the Eternal Fleet within just a few thousand light-years of exploration.

This distance didn't even count as the outer region; it was merely the fringe, let alone true exploration within Qian Sen Star Lake.

The many crew members had no objections.

The frontier was always Qingyang's most core objective at present.

Tianling, who was currently absorbing basic Alliance knowledge, raised her small face, feeling a sense of curiosity about the outside world.

Even from the fragmented information revealed, Tianling could still deduce that the Alliance's power far surpassed that of the Tianqu Civilization.

Changxi's gentle voice echoed in the Taiyi's control room, "The flight path has been adjusted. The Alliance has built a batch of new star-class Star Ports near the frontier. We are expected to arrive at the frontier two months earlier than originally planned."

Oh?

Qingyang withdrew his gaze from the view outside the ship and looked at the Star Chart with pleasant surprise, "That's great."

The frontier front, facing the direction of the inner domain, had an area of hundreds of millions of light-years cleared by the Alliance Army.

Aside from the military's various industrial, armament, supply, and production star systems, only the bases of some major Alliance powers exist.

Star Gates and Star Ring Channels are not as dense within the territory.

Heading to the frontier will greatly accelerate the acquisition of military merits, and by then, fighting to sustain the fight will quickly allow them to reach the T7 Fleet.

Within the territory, aside from some Star Lakes and Dimensional Worlds, it is difficult for Commanders without the backing of a faction to improve quickly.

Of course, for Qingyang, the most important thing is not this, but the endless, myriad forms of cosmic civilizations!

As well as the countless magnificent and dangerous cosmic regions and wonders.

Because the Alliance is suppressed by the Star Net and civilization rules internally, most cosmic danger zones and wonders cannot form, except for normal celestial activities.

In short, apart from resting or attending to important matters, Qingyang intends to stay on the frontier until he reaches T5 Fleet.

It is much easier to go out than to come in.

The Eternal Fleet sailed out of the Star Lake range in just two or three days this time.

The fleet slowly docked at the orbital starport of a star fortress.

After completing the Moro Metal collection mission, Qingyang stretched his back, "Let's rest for a day, and set off tomorrow."

"Want to play cards?" Gu Xing suggested.

In the blink of an eye, only Gu Xing and Qingyang were left in the control room.

And a mechanical girl who was diligently catching up on common knowledge.

"Don't look at me, I have something to do. Uh. I'll go see if the Alliance Army's rewards have arrived." Facing Gu Xing's gaze, Qingyang's expression changed slightly.

He was careless, these guys are really fast.

"..."

Forget it, it's fine to find someone to play with in the virtual world.

Watching Gu Xing's retreating back, Qingyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed Tianling looking at him with a cold expression, her slightly childish face showing a hint of confusion.

"Anyway, just don't go if that guy asks you to play cards in the future," Qingyang patted Tianling's head, then entered the lounge.

Tianling tilted her head, then withdrew her gaze and continued to diligently catch up on common knowledge.

Logging into the Star Net, Qingyang appeared at Magic Sea Academy.

Without going to the virtual observation deck, Qingyang simply strolled along the pedestrian path on a nearby ecological island.

He looked at the bustling Commanders and related students within Magic Sea Academy.

The Commander Academy has more than just Commanders; it also offers courses for teaching Extraordinary individuals.

There is even a dedicated department for Star Adjuncts!

Speaking of which, why not find a way to send Valen and the other one to the academy for a period of study?

The two are not yet capable of helping the Eternal Fleet, and besides, the fleet will soon be promoted to T7 by the time they reach the frontier.

Teaching them solely through unconventional means will not allow them to fully utilize their abilities as Star Adjuncts.

Whether it's for the Eternal Fleet or for Valen and the other one, leaving them to their own devices is not a good thing.

Qingyang's gaze became distant as he seriously considered this matter.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, Qingyang was knocked down by a dark figure.

He instinctively looked at the figure rubbing its head in front of him, and Qingyang's expression became strange.

Does the virtual mode of the Star Net still have pain?

"Huh? It doesn't hurt."

The figure, reacting a beat late, looked up with a hint of embarrassment.

Qingyang's gaze paused, and he looked at the person before him in surprise.

[Student of the Star Adjunct Department]

Ah, please keep reading! The traffic has been so bad lately, and the intelligent recommendation is gone too, sob sob sob.

I'll post the group number in the description before it goes on shelves, so you can conveniently steal my ideas, hehehe.
