"Hmph! Let's see who has the last laugh!"
Elder Ge waved his cloak and turned to leave the conference room. Seeing Elder Ge leave, Dong Tian gave everyone an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry everyone, I've let you all see our family's quarrel."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. What brings you here? We don't believe you'd engage in any reconciliation with hostile forces."
Xiahou Chan crossed his arms with an unfriendly expression. He didn't believe the other party had come to chat; they definitely had another purpose!
Upon hearing this, Dong Tian reverted to his cold demeanor, speaking without any emotion, "Since General Xiahou has asked, I will be frank. I have come here to give you my final notice. I will use your head to prove to the Goddess that you are unworthy of the Emanator of Existence. I am the most suitable person for this position."
Xiahou Chan's eyes darkened. Wanmeng and the others exchanged glances. Qi Tianque said with a murderous look on his face, "Anyone can talk big. I hope you'll still be this confident when the war starts."
Dong Tian smiled politely, neither confirming nor denying, but he had 100% confidence in himself for the final battle.
Garden of Existence
After turning off the projections of Xiahou Chan and the others, Dong Tian looked at his trusted confidant beside him.
"How is the battle plan progressing?"
"Reporting to the Chief Justice, all Antimatter Legion under the Garden have entered their designated combat positions, Antenna charging rates have reached 95%, logistical supplies have been distributed to each regiment, and the ground battlefield on the planet's surface is ready."
"Yes, very good."
"Your Honor, I have a question. Why did you leave half a planet for the enemy to land? Wouldn't it have been better to deploy an entire planet's worth of air defenses to intercept them? Why did you have to let them land?"
The presenter raised his own questions.
Dong Tian revealed a confident smile, "Because I want to win fair and square, I want to completely crush them head-on! Don't those people from the Xianzhou claim to be the orthodox and call me a traitor and an outcast? Then let them see how their so-called traitor and outcast will trample them underfoot!"
"Judge, you're brilliant! This move is truly devastating, it strikes at the heart of the enemy."
The reporter's face was full of obsequiousness. Seeing his obsequious expression, Dong Tian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Go to the front lines and keep an eye on the enemy's movements."
The reporter left the room, and Dong Tian stood up from his seat, placing one hand on the glass while his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Alliance Army.
"Today, I will show everyone what true legitimacy is."
His response was a distant burst of fire and explosions—the signal that the starship had been destroyed; the battle had begun.
The main gun landed in the Garden's fleet. The massive energy of the main gun hit a frigate, and the frigate exploded instantly. The shockwave from the explosion affected other ships next to the frigate, causing them to collide with each other. Although no explosions occurred, the ships were indeed damaged.
The Garden also reacted quickly, choosing to disperse immediately upon being attacked to reduce the number of ships affected by the blast wave.
Meanwhile, ships farther away from the exploding vessels and unaffected by the blast began to retaliate. Rays of energy cannon fire streaked across space and landed in the Alliance Army ' ranks, but because the Alliance Army starships had their defenses activated, they did not cause any significant damage.
The two sides' cannons, energy beams, and other highly destructive weapons collided and exploded in space, and scenes of starships exploding appeared one after another in both camps.
"I will remain on the main ship to command the battle. Wanmeng, Amo, Tianque, you take your men to open up the ground battlefield! Cut off their ground support supply to the space battlefield!"
Xiahou Chan decisively gave the order: the Garden, backed by the satellite planet, had a continuous supply of support, while their own side had no planet behind them and could not resupply resources over short distances. Therefore, their forces this time consisted of all the forces of the Alliance Army. In this battle, they could only win and could not afford to lose!
"Yes, Tianque! Dispatch 500,000 soldiers to the transport ships!"
" Elder Ge, lead the brothers of the Guard Corps and the brothers of the Tenth Antimatter Legion to the Arch Satellite Sphere!"
Wanmeng and Amo simultaneously issued orders, and the Alliance Army, consisting of 20 Antimatter Legion, Antimatter Legion with 500,000 men, instantly transferred out a million of their 10 million troops.
However, this team does not have a large overall troop strength.
Although most of the forces on both sides were concentrated in the space battlefield, a considerable number of people remained in the Garden on the satellite sphere, numbering in the millions.
Upon learning the situation, Xiahou Chan was furious. He had initially thought it was just a rebellion by Dong Tian, but it turned out there were so many parasites in the Garden.
This made Elder Ge sigh. He never expected that the Garden, which outwardly showed utmost respect and reverence to the goddess, would actually have more than half of its people resisting her.
Is there really any need for such Garden of Existence?
He was confused, but Amo gave him the answer.
He said, "If we can't change it, then smash it and start over! If we can't go from a hundred to a thousand, then we'll start from scratch and create a new Garden, a Garden that follows in the footsteps of the goddess!"
Transport ships are not difficult to attract attention. They are much larger and more imposing than attack ships. Moreover, due to their function, transport ships carry more defensive and speed-enhancing components, and fewer offensive weapons.
Therefore, as soon as the transport ships began to move, Xiahou Chan dispatched four escort ships to follow them.
The Garden also dispatched attack ships to intercept, but those attack ships were blasted into cosmic debris by the escort ships before they could even get close to the transport ship's attack range.
As escort ships protecting large starships, they are far superior in performance to the attack ships on the front lines of the battlefield, and their weaponry is also much more sophisticated.
The Garden side still wanted to intercept, but due to the immense pressure of the space battlefield, they had no choice but to give up and continue the battle on the main battlefield.
Without the harassment of the ships, Wanmeng and the others quickly reached the nearest orbit of the satellite sphere. From the images transmitted by the transport ship, the first thing she saw was the huge open space that had been left open.
"Sister Wanmeng, are we going to land there?"
Qi Tianque frowned. He didn't want to land here, after all, it was an open space left by the enemy. What if Dong Tian had already planned the location and laid a trap, just waiting for them to walk into the trap?
Wanmeng had clearly considered this as well. A smile played on her lips as she turned and ordered, "All starships, activate stealth mode and flank the enemy. Frigates, clear the area. Transport ships, be ready to deploy!"
