" Old Gao, this is too risky. Li Shun's fleet has a million ships, and they also have this wire-long worm helping them. Don't forget that it was this worm that helped those two warships perform a space jump to get into our fleet."
"No matter what, we can't escape unscathed now. Losing some warships is unavoidable. Also, if Li Shun's fleet concentrates for a dimensional reduction attack, the energy density near his warships will be terrifyingly high. At that point, we can use a Third Reversed State, or even Second Reversed State, to directly paralyze them."
"Yay! That's right, Old Gao, reading books really does come in handy. By the way, record these data about Li Shun's warship and give them to Academician Zeng when we get back. We can work on some of these warships too."
"Hey Little Zhuge, aren't you supposed to be the smartest person in the fleet? Why are you suddenly so clueless? Someone like Li Shun is only somewhat useful in the Insect Zone, with the help of Zerg. But without the Zerg swarm, he's only good for bullying lower-level civilizations. Otherwise, let's see how many of you there are in the fourth dimension, we'll blow them all to smithereens."
"Furthermore, we are currently surrounded by the insect swarm and cannot maneuver. If our fleet could deploy, could his strategy of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own could withstand the attrition? Moreover, building such warships is probably quite difficult, otherwise Li Shun would have more than just these 100,000 four-dimensional warships. You see, his normal warships have been staying outside all this time, they must know how powerful we are, and now they don't even dare to approach us."
"That seems to be the case."
"Therefore, no Great Star Region Civilization would use Li Shun's method. It's not that Great Star Region Civilization lack the capability, but rather that they don't want to do something so foolish."
The four-dimensional energy extraction device inside the Reaper has been activated to its maximum power, and energy is continuously emanating from within the Reaper. The entire space occupied by the Reaper exceeds one astronomical unit. Now, the Reaper is no longer afraid of the dimensional fall attack from the Insect King and Li Shun's warship and has begun to shrink its formation.
Everyone knew that Li Shun was cautious. In order not to attract Li Shun's attention, they did not rush to open a breach on the side facing Insect King Li Shun's fleet. Meanwhile, the two warships that had already attacked were also busy on that side, trying to completely open the passage and let Li Shun's remaining four-dimensional warships in.
After enduring several heavy blows, the Reaper deliberately exposed a weakness. When two of Li Shun's warships exploded simultaneously, a gash hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide was torn open. However, this explosion also destroyed hundreds of thousands of Reaper.
Sure enough, as soon as the breach opened, Li Shun's fleet rushed in instantly, whether they were enveloped by the Zerg swarm or not, they all rushed into the Reaper fleet.
This was the opportunity everyone had been waiting for. The Reaper quickly cleared the central airspace for Li Shun's fleet, with all the warships forming a giant sphere in the air. The outer fleets also immediately retreated, directly shrinking the battle zone from an astronomical unit to a ten million kilometer radius. With a diameter of ten million kilometers and over a hundred billion Reaper, the Reaper density was now quite considerable.
The Reaper continued to shrink their battle zone, and Li Shun's fleet was not idle either, especially the Insect King, which almost never stopped throwing the Reaper into the fourth dimension. However, the number of Reaper was enormous, and a single Insect King could not destroy them all in a short time.
Li Shun's warships seemed to have been caught off guard by the Reaper' complete disregard for the Insect King's harassment, concentrating all their firepower on his 100,000 warships. They were momentarily flustered, but the warships quickly regained their footing. In Li Shun's mind, these warships, working in conjunction with the Zerg swarm, had a great chance of annihilating the Reaper.
The 100,000 warships began to surge in all directions, preparing to repeat their previous tactics and destroy the already densely packed Reaper fleet.
However, the Reaper's firepower was already extremely dense, and the disc-shaped warships couldn't even get close to the Reaper. The Insect King tried his best to throw the Reaper into the fourth dimension, but the Reaper used the shrinking battle circle to fill the gap, until the circle shrank to a distance of less than two million kilometers between the two farthest Reaper.
Li Shun's 100,000 warships were also moved by the spatial attack to the narrow space in the very center. The explosions were almost non-stop, and Li Shun's fleet was also constantly exploding. However, the explosions were no longer one ship at a time, but in clusters, because the distance between Li Shun's warships had become very close. The explosions caused by the dimensional fall were now able to affect his own fleet.
At this point, Li Shun finally started to get anxious. The warships stopped cutting the fourth dimension into the three-dimensional universe, and simply let the Reaper destroy their warships again and again. Without the involvement of the fourth dimension, the Reaper destroying one ship would not affect another. However, even without the dimensional collapse, the Reaper were still destroying Li Shun's fleet piece by piece.
Finally, the disc-shaped warship that had been destroyed over a thousand times never reappeared, and everyone suddenly saw hope. It turned out that it only took a little over a thousand times to destroy a disc-shaped warship.
Suddenly, the Insect King ignored the Reaper and charged towards the disc-shaped warship despite Reaper attacks. Using the method of destroying the Reaper, it brought the disc-shaped warship into the fourth dimension. Then, it used its long body to send the disc-shaped warship 200,000 kilometers away. Repeating this process, with a few jumps, the disc-shaped warship appeared in the midst of the Reaper ' dense fleet.
This dimensional reduction attack instantly turned a million Reaper to ashes. The Insect King returned to the center of the battle, bringing the second and third Disc-shaped warships into the midst of the Reaper fleet.
The explosions struck Wen Zhonghua and the others' hearts repeatedly. The Insect King had been busy for a long time and had only destroyed a million warships. But now these disc-shaped warships had wiped out hundreds of millions of Reaper warships in an instant. Moreover, the four-dimensional structure of the disc-shaped warships was far from being exhausted. Hundreds of explosions were enough to destroy hundreds of millions of Reaper warships.
There are still 100,000 disc-shaped warships. Each one can destroy hundreds of millions of them. 100,000 ships are enough to consume 10 trillion Reaper. Now it is impossible for the Reaper to create distance again in a short time. The outer swarm of insects has surrounded the Reaper in layers. This is a swarm of insects, and the one thing they have no shortage of is insects.
"No, we need to find a way to kill this Insect King, otherwise we won't last long. Zhuge Xiong, think of something quickly, aren't you always full of clever ideas?" Wen Zhonghua said.
"Chief of the General Staff, even if we take down this Insect King, it might attract even more high-level insects."
