However, reality is cruel and does not favor Dialo.

"Your Highness, energy accumulation has been detected in the Chuyun Planet!" Aslite received the message as soon as she boarded the vehicle.

"What happened?"

"It's Zerg Electromagnetic Cannon from the Chuyun Planet!" Aslite exclaimed.

Dialo understood what had happened after listening for a moment. Although the concentrated explosion of the Tactical Nuclear Bomb had not destroyed the Zerg's land-based weapons, the resulting light bursts and electronic pulse turbulence had rendered the fire control systems of those Electromagnetic Cannon useless.

However, the Tactical Nuclear Bomb's effect was short-lived. After such a long delay, the Zerg's fire control radars have been restored, and the Electromagnetic Cannon are about to attack again.

"Except for the four Qishaya, DX12475, DX12490, and DX12497, all other warships are to turn around, activate their Laser Defense Array and Repulsion Field, and move forward to block the way," Dialo calmly ordered.

In this situation, since we can't escape anyway, we might as well maintain a steady defense and wait for the fleet to return.

The Duoqi Race has a very strong execution capability. Since the start of the war, even some near-suicidal missions have been executed perfectly without hesitation.

With the aid of their side thrusters, the warships, exceeding 1600 meters in length, were able to adjust relatively quickly. Furthermore, since Electromagnetic Projectile are not energy beams and therefore travel at a slower speed, they managed to reach their designated positions before the Electromagnetic Projectile could reach them.

Facing the direction of Chuyun Planet, this means that these warships will no longer be able to evacuate in the short term, so the energy supplied to the engines was stopped, while the Laser Defense Array and repulsion field were re-energized.

Repulsion Field are truly the nemesis of Electromagnetic Cannon. Although intercepting Electromagnetic Projectile requires a massive amount of energy, as long as the Repulsion Field is still active, any warship that follows it is invincible.

Several warships blocked almost all the projectiles aimed at the Doria and the four surrounding warships. A small number of Electromagnetic Projectile that passed through the Repulsion Field were also destroyed by the Laser Defense Array. These were originally designed to defend against Electromagnetic Cannon and fighter jets, and this was their primary function at the moment.

However, relying solely on these few warships to face thousands of Electromagnetic Cannon is still somewhat of a stretch. While the Repulsion Field is invincible, the other components are not.

After a salvo from the Electromagnetic Cannon, although the Duoqi warships on this side suffered no losses, two warships experienced malfunctions in their energy supply systems due to the instantaneous overload of energy output, causing the Repulsion Field in front of their bows to disappear.

However, they have gained valuable time, because Electromagnetic Cannon require a long time to charge and for projectiles to fly.

Several hatches on the side of the Doria suddenly opened, and a large number of small vehicles flew out, splitting into four groups and heading towards the four surrounding warships.

Meanwhile, the hatches of the four ships, including the Qishaya, were also opened simultaneously...

The Swarm naturally wouldn't watch them move away. The few remaining small Mature Form and Larval Form swooped down, but at the same time, the Drone swarm seemed to have gone mad, crashing into them relentlessly, completely disregarding the casualties.

A ten-meter-tall Larval Form had barely taken off when it was locked onto by more than ten Drone and smashed into a pulp in mid-air...

A 30-meter-tall Mature Form had just clung to an escape vehicle when a swarm of Drone, showing no regard for the Drone inside, crashed into it. The Mature Form, along with the Duoqi vehicle, was reduced to ashes.

Seeing that the little guys were about to fail, the four 300-meter-long Mature Form that were still sweeping carrots turned around and pounced on the escape vehicles.

The reason they hadn't attacked the four surrounding warships before was because they knew the Doria carried a Duoqi Race, but now that he was moving, the Doria had naturally lost its value, and there was no need to continue attacking it.

But for the already crazed Duoqi Race, the Doria without Dialo was also worthless. The moment the 300-meter-class Mature Form turned around, the main and secondary guns on the four surrounding warships, equipped with firing angles, launched an attack simultaneously.

At this close range, let alone Mature Form at 300 meters, even Ancient Class would not be able to withstand the concentrated barrage of dozens of main cannons and hundreds of secondary cannons.

The four 300-meter-class Mature Form were instantly riddled with holes. The extremely penetrating energy beams, after passing through their bodies, continued their momentum and pierced into the hull of the Doria ship.

The 300-meter-tall Mature Form, the Doria, including the smaller Mature Form and Larval Form clinging to its hull, as well as the Duoqi Race that hadn't had time to evacuate from the ship, were all reduced to ashes in this round of attacks.

A huge fireball exploded in space, blowing many vehicles that had just exited the capsule into the air and causing some chaos.

Although the Duoqi Race lost a frigate and some personnel, ninety percent of those wretched Octopus Monster were wiped out, and the remaining smaller ones posed no threat. If these creatures weren't dealt with, they would slowly devour more warships, causing even greater losses. Therefore, in Dialo's view, it was all worthwhile.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. This is the least damaging solution." Aslite gently comforted Dialo, looking at his uncertain expression.

However, Dialo did not reply, but simply gazed out at the starry sky, lost in thought.

The escape vehicle was still being slowly gathered together, but at that moment, the second round of Electromagnetic Cannon fire had already arrived.

With the repulsive force field of two fewer warships, the perfect shield developed a gap, allowing more Electromagnetic Projectile to penetrate the defenses, which even the Laser Defense Array could not intercept completely.

After all, the difference in numbers is simply too great.

Several projectiles pierced through layers of defense and struck a few warships that were in the process of being assembled. Fortunately, their numbers were small, Duoqi Race withstood the attack thanks to the excellent performance of their Reactive Armor.

But misfortune never comes singly. Faced with such concentrated Electromagnetic Cannon fire, several more defensive warships experienced problems due to the excessive energy output.

With the sudden disappearance of the repulsive field, the Electromagnetic Projectile slammed into the Duoqi warship without hesitation.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The shattered armor was blown off, the front of the ship was smashed to pieces, and several projectiles crashed through dozens of cabins, triggering a massive explosion inside the ship.

In an instant, two warships were engulfed in flames, and several others suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the Reactive Armor on their bows blocked the attack, but in their current condition, they were absolutely unable to withstand the next salvo.

At that moment, at least a thousand small Mature Form and Larval Form swarmed in from both sides.

These were the passengers carried by several 300-meter-long Mature Form that had just been intercepted by the Drone en route.

The 300-meter-class Mature Form were held back, but they took the opportunity to break free. At this time, the defending warships had been severely damaged, and the Drone were also destroyed. They could only watch as the creatures continued to approach.

But before they arrived, a 300-meter-long Mature Form crashed into a defending warship.
