Five million Wind Master were neatly docked in a planetary system 200 light-years away from the space vortex. There was no one there, only machines. Each warship carried at least ten energy orbs, which were given warp drive capabilities and the same speed as the Wind Master. There were also one hundred Wind Master carrying giant energy orbs. They were a major weapon of the entire fleet and Hu Yu's trump card.
If these energy orbs of varying sizes fail to achieve sufficient offensive effect, Hu Yu has no idea how to defeat this Xuan Star Civilization, and the hope of rescuing Luo Zhigao will become even more remote.
Beside these 50 million Wind Master were 10,000 specially reinforced Wind Master, 1,000 of which also carried giant energy spheres. The mission of these Wind Master was to slow down the spatial vortex for a period of time, buying Luo Zhigao time to escape.
Luo Zhigao had almost reached his limit. Some of the smaller warships could not withstand the gravity of the vortex center and were pulled in, disintegrating and exploding. Luo Zhigao had no choice but to abandon all the smaller warships again and concentrate the crew on civilian ships and some larger warships.
The rescue operation was about to begin, and Luo Zhigao was eager to join the fight as soon as Hu Yu were freed. However, he didn't know that Hu Yu had no intention of having him participate in the battle. To this end, Hu Yu had even prepared a battle plan with Luo Zhigao Luo Zhigao to convince him.
According to this battle plan, Hu Yu will secretly send the energy ball into the space vortex. Once the space vortex slows down, Luo Zhigao's fleet will be able to fight against it. Although the fleet will still be unable to use the warp drive, the conventional power engine will gradually drag them out of the vortex, but this will take nearly a year.
Even if the Xuan Star Civilization discovered that the energy sphere could help Luo Zhigao escape, they would not risk entering the vortex. Based on their observations and research over the years, the Xuan Star Civilization indeed does not yet have the ability to escape from this spatial vortex; otherwise, they would have already destroyed Luo Zhigao's fleet.
Once Luo Zhigao's fleet emerges, Hu Yu will immediately launch an attack. The two sides will cooperate to inflict heavy damage on the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet. Then, the unmanned Wind Master will be responsible for holding back the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet, allowing Luo Zhigao to take the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
Even Luo Zhigao couldn't find any flaws in this plan; he didn't believe Hu Yu would lie to him. However, Hu Yu didn't think so. Luo Zhigao had already lost many of his people, and his fleet was on the verge of collapse. If he were to participate in the war again, the losses would be incalculable. Hu Yu didn't want to see any more of his people lose their lives. Therefore, before the energy sphere exploded, Hu Yu would launch an attack on the Xuan Star Civilization. Once the Wind Master were nearly exhausted, the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet would likely be shattered, giving Luo Zhigao an opportunity to escape the battlefield.
Hu Yu paced back and forth in the command room. None of the generals dared to speak. This battle was far more perilous than the battle against the Wind Star Civilization. Even if the battle against the Wind Star Civilization had failed, Hu Yu could have ensured the safety of Earth Two if the Fish Horse Star Civilization hadn't intervened. But if they failed this time, the plan to rescue Luo Zhigao would fall through. Even if Luo Zhigao escaped, he could only watch helplessly as the fleet was devoured bit by bit by the Xuan Star Civilization. Charging into battle on the battlefield meant certain death, but watching billions of his people die without being able to lend a helping hand felt like having his heart being ripped apart piece by piece with a knife.
" Zhonghua."
"You've got an idea, Old Hu?"
" Minister Luo is now at the last minute; we must act no matter what."
"Do whatever you say. We can always start over."
"Look everyone, the majority of the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet is deployed in these three locations around the vortex, forming a triangle around it. If we attack any one of them, the fleets in the other two locations can arrive to support us within a few hours. We have no other shortcuts right now. I've decided to divide the Wind Master into four parts: the first, second, and third parts, each with 5 million ships, each carrying 20 giant energy balls, aiming to inflict maximum damage on the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet; the fourth part, with 35 million ships."
"After the first three groups launch their attacks on the Xuan Star Civilization, we must try our best to hold them off for at least four months. The fourth group will coordinate with one of the Xuan Star fleets attacking this area to try and eliminate a portion, or even annihilate, the entire fleet as quickly as possible to reduce subsequent pressure. The ratio of enemy to friendly warships here is 1 to 2, and with our powerful energy sphere, we should have a chance of winning. If we win, this fleet will immediately attack another Xuan Star Civilization fleet in another location. Even if we lose, we must keep the Xuan Star Civilization fleet firmly tied down here for two years. Minister Luo will then emerge from this position within the vortex. Due to the warp drive being unusable, it will take Minister Luo about a year to leave the vortex from his current position. By then, Minister Luo will have to leave whether he likes it or not; we cannot allow Minister Luo and his group to participate in the war. After they have been gone for a year, the chances of the Xuan Star Civilization finding them will be very small, and we will have completed our mission."
"What if our attack doesn't have a significant effect?" General Gao Jianchuan asked.
"We've studied the warships of over a dozen Star System-Level Civilization, and combined with Minister Luo's experience, we know that energy spheres shouldn't exist in Star System-Level Civilization. Moreover, we're well aware that the power of such weapons is tens of thousands of times that of antimatter. Even warships from Small Star Sector Civilization couldn't completely defend against them. With 5 million warships, 50 million small energy spheres, and 20 large ones, if used properly, they can definitely achieve a surprise effect."
" Old Hu, do you think this Xuan Star Civilization might have a backup fleet, or that if we delay too long, they might send even more fleets from their base?"
"It shouldn't be that bad. Our strength is clearly inferior to theirs. If they still need to call for reinforcements, the fleet commander won't agree. Remember, once the battle begins, gravity bombs must be dropped continuously to disrupt the battlefield and prevent the enemy from utilizing their speed advantage. Understand?"
"Understood!" "Understood!" "Understood!"
The Wind Master fleet, traveling at 1800 times the speed of light, could reach 200 light-years in just 40 days. The Wind Master were divided into four groups, with the first three smaller groups in front and the larger group behind, each heading towards one of the three fleets of the Xuan Star Civilization. Luo Zhigao was completely unaware of all this.
When they were one light-year away from the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet, the massive fleet was discovered by the Xuan Star Civilization. The Xuan Star Civilization's fleet immediately assembled to meet the enemy and charged towards the Wind Master.
"Stop advancing, launch energy ball."
As the order was given, each Wind Master simultaneously launched five energy ball bombs. These energy ball bombs, equipped with warp drives, traveled at the same speed as the Wind Master, and the two steel torrents advanced irresistibly through the starry sky.
The Xuan Star warships immediately dispersed to avoid the direct attacks of these energy spheres. Regardless of whether they recognized the weapon or not, avoiding it was always the best course of action.
As 25 million energy bombs hurtled into the Xuan Star fleet, a string was struck on Earth Two, 3,000 light-years away. The energy spheres, affected by the vibration of this string, exploded silently in space, without light, heat, radiation, or particle streams, only pure energy.
These energy ball bombs swept across the starry sky like locusts, destroying anything that dared to stand in their way; even the most powerful warships could not withstand them.
