As Tie Xingzhen and his men stormed into the first cruiser, the second cruiser, carrying fragmentation bombs, arrived at its designated deployment position.
While this disintegration bomb and a nuclear bomb serve similar purposes—both being highly powerful bombs—compared to a nuclear bomb, its destructive power primarily targets living organisms, while its environmental impact is significantly reduced.
Although he said he could just give up the planet, Aozile it.
After all, the value of a habitable planet is enormous; it's all about money.
Even Lao Mu was frugal, scrimping and saving to save money for himself, let alone his Aozile.
He'd be heartbroken if this planet were blown up like that.
But a planet is a planet, and people are people. Cleaning up the rats on this planet shouldn't be a problem.
The drop pods for those cannon fodder were also disposable; once they were thrown in, they weren't given a chance to return.
After all, according to Lao Mu, these cannon fodder were all dropped using substandard drop pods. If someone from above came to investigate and let it slip, Lao Mu's position as captain would be in jeopardy.
To be honest, when Aozile heard Lao Mu say that, his first thought was what he should do.
Lao Mu could discard all the cannon fodder because they were worthless. By the time they finished fighting here and returned, more than ten years would be enough for a new batch of cannon fodder to grow up.
But those inferior frigates owned by Aozile don't have that advantage. Those captains are all Snail People; no matter how low their status, they're still citizens. If someone reports them back home, will their promotions even be possible?
The first time I tried to adulterate someone, it seemed like I'd dug myself into a huge mess.
Fortunately, he only replaced a batch of frigates and didn't tamper with the cruisers. Otherwise, given the current situation, when they returned after the battle, it would have been the end of his life.
Fortunately, Lao Mu and he were true allies, with a very close relationship.
Faced with this situation, it also taught the Aozile a few tricks.
Since things have already come to this, let's go all the way and use the captains of the escort ships whose ships were replaced as cannon fodder, preferably wiping them out in battle.
This will also shut most people up.
It was precisely for this reason that, when faced with resistance from Venus, Aozile did not immediately launch a full-scale deployment, but instead reinforced his troops in stages, slowly wearing them down.
As long as the Star Destroyer doesn't have any problems, he's as safe as a rock.
The launch hatch beneath the second cruiser opened, and three cylindrical missiles fell out in succession.
As it approached the atmosphere, the missiles were activated, and the three fragmentation warheads flew toward three different locations on Venus. After reaching their designated positions, they turned and plunged into the interior of Venus.
The missile was very fast; it took less than a second from entering the atmosphere to detonating on the ground.
Even if the cultivators on the ground noticed something was wrong and wanted to intervene, it was already too late.
A terrifying shockwave emanated from the spot where the missile struck.
A massive mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and where it landed, an even larger sun appeared.
But for some reason, although it looked the same, the explosion of this thing disappeared very quickly, unlike the nuclear explosions we'd seen before, which had a violent blast that lasted for several minutes.
The explosion subsided, and then a shockwave spread in all directions.
Wherever the shockwave reached, the clump of cannon fodder was lifted up and thrown dozens of meters into the air without warning.
Before they could even land, these cannon fodder soldiers discovered that their bodies seemed to be cracking open, and their skin was becoming rough.
With the strong winds brought by the shockwave, their bodies seemed to turn into a pile of sand and were blown away in the air.
This phenomenon is not isolated.
Wave after wave of cannon fodder were scattered and broken up by this invisible force.
They then realized that this was a terrifying weapon, and its purpose was probably to cleanse the entire Venus.
Some cultivators put on shields, but after the shockwave passed, the shields seemed to be completely useless.
Although he wasn't blown away, his body still began to dissipate after being swept by an invisible force, even though he was hiding behind a shield.
Before he could even cast his healing spell, he turned into a pile of dust.
An invisible force, propelled by the disintegration bomb, swept across the entire surface of Venus.
At this point, all life remaining on Venus, whether human or alien, was reduced to dust by these three disintegration bombs.
The bomb's power was terrifying.
Far away aboard the Star Destroyer Aozile laughed when he saw the effects of those bombs.
With such weapons, what good are a large number of people? They'll still be wiped out.
As for those natives who rushed into space and are now engaged in battle aboard the cruisers...
Aozile gritted his teeth.
With this planet around, he can afford the cost of this cruiser!
"Tell Lao Mu that our Star Destroyer can also warm up."
Its intuition told it that once the natives had landed on board, it was only a matter of time before the cruiser was cleared out and occupied. In that case, it might as well wipe out the ship and the enemy together.
The order had only been given for a few minutes when the Star Destroyer began to adjust its attitude.
It turned one side of itself toward the battlefield, and then countless shipborne weapons bared their fangs.
An exceptionally thick beam of light emanated from the middle of the ship, like the wind from a giant swordsman's slash, forming an arc of light that cut towards the cruiser's location.
The beam of light surged forward, mercilessly swallowing up anything that stood in its way.
Not a single crumb was left.
Even the cruisers, which were extremely difficult for the cultivators to deal with, began to melt rapidly under the beam of light.
Just like a finger poking into ice cream, within this beam of light, the cruiser's hull melted into a lump of cream.
The cultivators inside the ship only lasted two seconds longer than it before they all dissolved into it.
The beam of light melted the cruiser but did not disappear; instead, it continued to fly forward.
The patrol ships along the way were also affected, and many of them were caught in the crossfire.
"This Star Destroyer is indeed the pinnacle of Imperial technology; just this one light cannon is worth an entire fleet."
Seeing the power of that shot, Aozile chuckled.
No wonder Lao Mu insisted on becoming a captain. With a ship like this, what's the point of leading troops? Nothing can stop this thing.
The light blade grazed past Venus from this side.
Aozile very happy.
It's all over now.
With just a few shots of weapons with slightly higher energy levels, this planet changed hands.
Then, he saw a bizarre scene on the monitor.
The enormous blade of light stopped abruptly after grazing Venus.
There was nothing there, and nothing unusual was found, yet the light blade simply hovered in place for no apparent reason.
It was as if something was binding it.
Li Xingkong was very angry, extremely angry.
His magical deduction was at a crucial juncture when suddenly a tremendous force from the outside pulled him out of his deduction.
A colossal blade of light slammed into him, dissolving all the space debris that had gathered around him, and then propelled Li Xingkong backward.
Reaching out, Li Xingkong forcefully stopped the blade of light. He was furious.
In other words, he's having a fit of morning grumpiness!
