"Chief of the General Staff, the entire airspace is now in chaos, and with the Xuan Star Civilization constantly launching space attacks, we are unable to break through effectively," Chen Peng replied.
"Then launch warp energy spheres! These spheres are now comparable to the warships of the Xuan Star Civilization. Let's see how they dodge them!"
"Chief of the General Staff, didn't you say at the beginning to use the energy balls sparingly?"
"You brat, when did you learn to talk back? Watch out or I'll kick your ass. What's the use of keeping the warp energy ball? It might blow up your own warship in the vortex."
"Doesn't our energy sphere have friend-or-foe identification? Besides, the space here is already in chaos. Aren't you afraid of blowing yourself up?"
"Come on, you take charge. Should we listen to me or you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the Chief of the General Staff is right. Launch the warp energy ball immediately." Chen Peng quickly feigned fear and laughed.
In an instant, the entire space was once again filled with curvature energy spheres. Due to the spatial chaos, these energy spheres had almost no possibility of moving in a straight line in the air. They replaced the Grim Slayer in pursuing the Xuan Star Civilization's warships. For the first time, everyone finally experienced the benefits of speed advantage. They could go where they wanted, fight where they wanted, and chase where they wanted. The initiative of the entire battlefield was completely in the hands of humanity.
The Xuan Star Civilization's warships continued their pursuit of the Grim Slayer with even greater fervor than the humans. Any Grim Slayer attempting to reach their territory were blocked. They paid no heed to the incoming energy spheres. In this spatial environment, the Grim Slayer' speed advantage was less significant, especially when encountering sudden spatial turbulence. The Xuan Star Civilization civilization's warships could easily find an opportunity to ram the Grim Slayer, destroying both of them.
However, the Grim Slayer continued to break through the defenses and enter the spatial vortex. Even without a frontal attack, the speed of the Grim Slayer was such that the Xuan Star Civilization warships could not stop or catch up with them. After another wave of curvature energy balls was launched, the Grim Slayer left the battlefield at high speed and rushed into the vortex from both sides of Ji Wa's defenses.
As he watched the human fleet bypass him and enter civilized territory, Ji Wa was overcome with grief. Inside were his people, his kin. He slowly raised his weapon and aimed it at his own brain.
"Brother Bi Cha, Ji Wa failed in his mission. He has let down the people and the leader."
" Ji Wa! Don't do anything foolish! Come back! Let's fight against humanity together!"
"Goodbye, brother, bang~~" Ji Wa slowly fell to the ground.
" Ji Wa!!!" Bi Cha cried out in anguish. Although the two had some disagreements, just as Ji Wa said, what did these disagreements matter in the face of the life and death of civilization? Occasional conflicts were just a spice in their lives.
"Lieutenant, bring back Commander Ji Wa's body," Bi Cha said sadly to Ji Wa's lieutenant.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I've also decided to go with Lord Ji Wa. I've followed Ji Wa for tens of thousands of years, and now that Lord Ji Wa is gone, I don't want to live on. Ji Wa's body will be automatically transported back by the warship. Goodbye, my lord~~ bang"
"Why are you doing this to us? Are we really too proud to bear the slightest setback? Alas, perhaps you are right. We will face even more sorrow ahead. Perhaps it's better not to meet again. But humans, I, Bi Cha, will fight to the very end, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will never retreat a single step," Bi Cha said fiercely.
The surviving population has all been transferred to warships, with two hundred million warships protecting the leader and the people as they depart for the outskirts of the territory. He himself will remain behind to fight against humanity alongside the fleet, buying time for the leader and the people. Unlike before, when defeat was acceptable and lost warships could be replenished from the civilization's territory, now if he is defeated, his people and leader are the very foundation of the entire civilization.
(The upcoming war will span a very large timescale. Since warp drives cannot be used, navigating a region 200 light-years in diameter using conventional engines is extremely time-consuming. To maintain a sense of urgency, the issue of time will not be discussed in detail in the following chapters. However, the plot development will take time into account; just keep that in mind.)
Bi Cha absolutely will not allow the Xuan Star Civilization to be destroyed so inexplicably by a Human Civilization that is not even a Small Star Region. Its own civilization has developed smoothly all the way, but it has also paid for countless hardships. Countless people have shed blood and sweat for the civilization, and even sacrificed their lives.
With over 200 million Grim Slayer facing 800 million warships in the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization, the battle was surprisingly one-sided. Humanity's conventional power engines were exceptionally powerful when powered by pure energy, and their movement through spatial turbulence was not greatly affected. Coupled with the super-strong protection of the Reversed State Armor, the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet was unable to Grim Slayer.
However, the Grim Slayer were able to destroy all the Xuan Star Civilization warships that came to intercept them with their massive amounts of energy orbs. Faced with the ferocious Grim Slayer, the Xuan Star Civilization warships suffered losses at an alarming rate.
"All warships, listen up! Charge forward and mingle with the humans! Then activate your warp drives. If chaos is to be made, make it even more chaotic."
"Sir, the space here is already in a state of extreme chaos. If we forcibly activate the warp drive and cause a collision, our losses will far exceed those of humanity."
"There's no better way now. If there's going to be chaos, let it be chaos to the extreme. Go, destroy all 20 stars near the war zone. Don't be afraid of losses. As long as we can hold off humanity and buy time for the leaders and the people, it's worth it even if we all sacrifice ourselves. Besides, we have a numerical advantage now; humanity can't afford to lose any more. Go!"
These stars could have existed for billions or even tens of billions of years, but now, in the war between two advanced civilizations, their powerful bodies have become as vulnerable as eggs, and their violent energy is no less than that of a giant energy ball exploding, causing the entire sky to tremble.
The intense light illuminated the entire sky, and high-energy radiation and violent particle streams swept forward like a raging flood. Any matter that dared to block this energy was instantly annihilated. Even the warships of the Xuan Star Civilization were impacted and rolled for millions of kilometers before barely stabilizing. The Grim Slayer fared no better, being swept away by the energy tide without any resistance, as light as fallen leaves in the wind.
No wonder the Destroyers said that Small Star Sector Civilization could manipulate stars at will. In the face of technology, the power of stars is nothing but a paper tiger. Due to the difference in spatial velocity, energy spheres explode, stars explode, and the various weapons of both fleets attack each other, if space had a physical form, it would probably be like a pot of boiling water at this moment.
Taking advantage of the spatial chaos, the Xuan Star Civilization's warships, with their overwhelming numerical advantage, charged into the ranks of the Grim Slayer. Like headless flies, they stumbled around aimlessly. After activating their warp drives, they were completely unable to control their direction in the spatial turbulence. In an instant, flames erupted and debris flew everywhere. Who could have imagined that a war between two advanced civilizations would degenerate into this state?
Faced with this situation, the Grim Slayer had no choice but to hand over all control to AI. In just over ten days, more than 20 million Grim Slayer were destroyed, while the Xuan Star Civilization suffered even greater losses, exceeding 40 million ships. However, the Xuan Star Civilization's fleet was more than four times the size of the Grim Slayer '. At this rate, the Grim Slayer were no match for the Xuan Star Civilization's warships.
"Order the Grim Slayer to assemble in units of ten thousand and conduct a comprehensive defense of the surrounding area, advancing while defending!" Wen Zhonghua commanded.
