The fleets of Holy Stone and Black Raven each surrounded half of the battlefield, on high alert. Countless cannons were aimed at the two sides locked in fierce combat in the center of the battlefield. Sivadi kept his eyes glued to the battle, remaining vigilant at all times.
Third-party conflicts at the border are always a tough job. Maintaining the border is the responsibility of the defense forces. First of all, blindly intervening will not bring any credit. After all, this is not resisting foreign enemies. There is no reward for winning, and you have to bear the losses yourself. If you lose, the consequences will be even more serious. Participating in the battle is the worst choice. Sivadi believes that if his decision causes damage to the fleet, the hostile noble faction will definitely use him as a starting point to attack his political faction. The Holy Stone Royal Aristocracy is full of factions, and the military is also mostly composed of nobles. Naturally, there are political enemies who are eyeing it covetously.
Fortunately, the exchange of fire between the DarkStar mothership and the combined fleet was confined to a certain range. As long as the situation did not escalate further, Sivadi should be thankful.
At that moment, his subordinate reported urgently, "Captain, a huge object is approaching the battlefield! The main fleet of the Streamer is in its path of advance! Requesting instructions!"
Sivadi was startled and looked at the screen. The detection image showed a huge object flying at high speed with a high energy level. He adjusted the angle of the porthole to look in the direction of the approaching object and saw a golden oval object shining brightly in space, gradually approaching. Its size and volume were dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the warship. It was the Floating Dragon Island with its shield activated.
"That's Floating Dragon Island, just passing by? And - a book?" Sivadi exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing that Floating Dragon Island was advancing and about to collide with their fleet, Sivadi immediately sent a message to Floating Dragon Island: "Dragon Calm, please be aware! Dragon Calm, please be aware! I am Sivadi, commander of the Third Squadron of the Holy Stone Border Defense Army. There is a battle ahead. We have sealed off this area. Please take a detour."
A second later, the Streamer received a reply, accompanied by Jenny's indifferent, aloof voice, containing only two short words.
"Give Way."
A hint of anger flashed across his face. This was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant passerby who not only refused to take a detour but also demanded that the entire fleet make way for him. However, Dragon Calm had the right to be domineering, Sivadi really dared not provoke him.
Dragon Calm showed no sign of stopping, charging straight ahead, about to crash into the Holy Stone Fleet's formation. Sivadi's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, ordering, "Everyone scatter! Abandon the blockade! Make way for him!"
The Holy Stone Fleet hastily dispersed, clearing a path for Dragon Calm, who swaggered through the ranks into the battlefield. This scene was captured on the news ship's camera, causing Brimlna's usually fluent speech to falter. She paused for a moment before quickly correcting herself, stammering, "Uh... as you can see, the Holy... Holy Stone Fleet is actively giving way, seemingly due to failed negotiations. It appears Dragon Calm doesn't care about the battle ahead. I wonder what will happen next..."
Viewers of the show couldn't help but marvel at Dragon Calm's domineering attitude, but no one felt that Dragon Calm had come specifically to interfere.
Meanwhile, the combined fleet still couldn't break through DarkStar's blockade. They contacted the mercenaries being Pursuit but couldn't provide support. They could only watch helplessly as one channel after another went silent, and team members were captured one by one before their eyes. Their rage was directly reflected in the combined fleet's attack intensity. From initially trying to bypass DarkStar, they were now engaged in a frenzied battle, which became increasingly brutal.
Rumble!!
Suddenly, a spot on the planet's surface bulged up, the land cracked, and then a gigantic ice crystal pillar, as large as an iceberg, burst forth, rising from the ground. Goya and her teammates rode the ice pillar back to the surface. Her blue and white mage robes were covered in dust and torn, and she looked exhausted. She had been cornered by her pursuers and, after gathering her strength, unleashed an attack, finally leaving the underground. She looked up, and her clear blue eyes reflected the magnificent scene.
In the deep blue-black outer space, under the vast and distant sky, countless fleets clashed, cannon fire raged, and countless rays and lasers flashed like stars. At a lower altitude, DarkStar warships circled around her, heading straight for her, stirring up dust and sand like a storm, and the scorching heat of their thrusters distorted the atmosphere.
"Still... no backup?"
As if all his strength had been drained away, Goya slowly knelt down, his staff rolling from his pale palm into the dust. He looked up at the scene of the Allied Fleet, who should have been his saviors, trying their best but being powerless to help.
The color of despair gradually spread across his eyes.
The three legions were the backbone of their resistance, and everyone held onto hope, knowing that a fleet would come to their rescue. However, when the long-awaited reinforcements arrived, they were unable to save them. One by one, their comrades fell, and their last bit of resilience crumbled. In this situation, who could save them?
Countless floating ships surrounded them. Goya's teammates looked dejected, lowered their weapons, and stopped resisting.
Just then, the floating Floating Dragon Island suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the two opposing fleets hurriedly avoided it. The fierce battle seemed to have been paused, coming to an abrupt end.
Sarota was shocked. "How come there are intruders? Didn't the Holy Stone and Black Raven seal off the battlefield? This is... Dragon Calm?!"
Both sides stopped fighting, Dragon Calm became the focus of everyone's attention. Whether it was DarkStar, the mercenary fleet, Holy Stone, or Black Raven, they were all waiting for it to leave as soon as possible. Everyone was fighting well, and suddenly a random passerby appeared, and one that they couldn't afford to mess with. This fight was impossible to continue.
However, the Floating Dragon Island remained motionless in the center of the battlefield.
What happened?
What does it stop to do?
Seeing this, the captains of all sides were surprised. Wasn't Dragon Calm just passing by? The road had been cleared for it, so why wasn't it moving?
At that moment, the detectors on each warship suddenly emitted an extremely piercing alarm.
"Attention! Spatial fluctuations have occurred nearby! A high-energy reaction has been detected! Energy level values are being calculated... Precise calculation failed, the range is fluctuating and cannot be displayed!"
A tiny, pale blue light appeared above Dragon Calm, gradually expanding into a rotating halo filled with white mist. It was only two or three meters in size and would have been inconspicuous in the vast starry sky, but at this moment it firmly attracted everyone's attention.
Advanced Arcane Technique: Physical Teleportation Portal!
Immediately afterwards, long, snow-white legs stepped out from the halo, and Ames, dressed in a black dress, "Walked out." Her long black hair cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles, and her charming face still wore an indifferent expression, as if the sight of countless warships could not make her brows furrow even slightly.
The fleet commanders all paled at the sight.
"The Dragon Emperor?!"
"Why is she here!"
Just as everyone was stunned and guessing Ames's intentions, a sudden change occurred!
Upon seeing the DarkStar, Ames unleashed a Berserk force field without hesitation. The armor of the nearest dozen or so DarkStar warships deformed, caved inward, and were crushed by the terrifying pressure, exploding into a cloud of smoke!
The whole process seemed effortless; the DarkStar Technology warship in her hands was as thin as paper, easily crumpled into a ball!
Sarota's expression changed drastically; he was completely taken aback. Why was the Dragon Emperor attacking them?!
Everyone was shocked. Sivadi looked astonished, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "She wasn't just passing by! She's going to help the mercenaries!"
The combined fleet was stunned, then overjoyed, and their morale soared.
"The Dragon Emperor is our reinforcement! All troops, attack!"
Sarota's face finally showed panic, and his subordinates around him watched anxiously, waiting for orders.
"Take this! Everyone retreat immediately! No, fleet, protect the mothership! Form a defensive formation and cover the mothership's escape!"
The Dragon Emperor's reputation was legendary, but upon encountering Ames, he completely forgot about the mission. Sarota now had only one thought: to minimize losses and escape! After issuing the orders, he immediately left the command room and rushed towards the escape pod.
The DarkStar Fleet contracted its formation, protecting the mothership like a wall, forming a shield array to block the combined fleet's concentrated fire. Under this heavy protection, the mothership's appearance gradually blurred as it concealed itself and retreated.
Seeing this, Ames's force field grabbed the entire Dragon Calm and slammed it down!
The Floating Dragon Island, shrouded in a golden shield, resembled a meteorite wreathed in high energy. The DarkStar warships looked like tiny beans in its presence, their defensive arrays crushed. The Dragon Calm crashed into the mothership with a deafening roar, the shield exploding with intense sparks, and nearly half of the mothership was shattered!
Floating Dragon Island is Ames's territory, palace... and weapons.
From the commander to the ship's soldiers, everyone present was completely stunned by this scene.
Brimlna's mouth was agape, completely speechless. It should have been a broadcasting mishap, but no one blamed her. Everyone watching the program had the same expression as her—utterly horrified.
The name Ames resounded throughout the Shattered Star Ring, yet she displayed her destructive power only a handful of times. Witnessing this incredible individual power firsthand was a shock that struck one's heart like a heavy hammer.
The Dragon Emperor, descend!
