Boom!

Nagokin's spaceship collided heavily with a DarkStar warship nearly 100 meters long. The interiors of both ships shook violently, and the hatch in front of Nagokin opened with a hiss, exposing him directly to the space environment. His Goddora combat suit activated, providing life support.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of golden flames erupted from Nagokin's body and exploded behind him, like the tail flames of a thruster. Nagokin seemed to transform into a golden meteor and crashed heavily into the outer armor of the DarkStar warship.

The size difference between a person and a warship nearly 100 meters long is enormous, like an ant bumping into an elephant.

However, the force of this punch left a deep dent in the outer armor of the DarkStar warship!

With a flurry of over a dozen punches, the fist shadows blended into one, and in the next second, Nagokin punched a hole in the DarkStar warship, sending out a large number of metal fragments. Nagokin, enveloped in golden flames, rushed into the warship's interior.

Bang bang bang!

The DarkStar warship began to explode continuously. Nagokin rampaged through the ship, Tu Shu it from the inside. No DarkStar DarkStar warrior on board could stop him. He moved with impunity, smashing equipment and devices to pieces. As a result, more and more parts became disabled.

Soon, Nagokin rushed out again, jumped onto the spaceship, and moved away from the warship to find his next target.

Behind him, the warship, riddled with holes, exploded with a deafening roar, bursting into a sky full of fireworks in space!

In space warfare, powerful superhumans usually act as scouts, engaging in boarding maneuvers and attacking enemy ships from the inside. They rarely engage in direct confrontations, as tearing apart a warship by hand is too dangerous and far less efficient than destroying its interior... Beyond Grade A powerhouses are not included in this category.

Following Battet's orders, the troops remaining in Goddora withdrew to rejoin the main force. Norcap, sensing Battet's radical intentions, reacted swiftly, ordering the assault team to split up again. Most of the assault ships followed the remaining troops to prevent the command ship from being besieged.

Only thirty assault ships remained to attack Planet Aquamarine. Although Black Star had not yet made a move, Norcap estimated Black Star's strength based on the archives and believed that these forces were more than enough.

Without the protection of the Goddora fleet, Planet Aquamarine was like a delicate young girl. Thirty DarkStar assault ships entered the atmosphere and unleashed a barrage of fire on the surface.

Boom boom boom!

Beams of green ion cannons, like Thunder, rained down from the sky, bombarding everything in their path.

These assault ships were not attacking randomly; they were firing on the capitals and Sanctuary of the Six Nations, aiming to destroy these locations and ruin the disaster relief efforts.

Han Xiao had already ordered more than a dozen mercenary ships to guard these areas, and they were now deploying shields to block the thunderous green ion cannons.

Rumble--

The explosion resounded through the sky, and the spaceship's shield flickered and trembled, its strength gradually weakening.

The numerous players in the Sanctuary could not see the spaceships high in the sky, but they could see the green ion cannons hitting the spaceships above the Sanctuary continuously, like a series of lightning strikes, with incessant roars, creating a scene like a natural Calamity Grade.

This scene surprised many players and sparked a lot of discussion.

"Is the fleet attacking us?!"

"Damn it, the mission progress is slowing down, is it because of the attack?!"

"If it weren't for these spaceships blocking the way, the Sanctuary would have been blown to smithereens by now!"

The refugees in the capitals and Sanctuary of the Six Nations did not have the same confidence as the players. Every ion cannon shot that hit the spaceship's shields caused a deafening explosion that seemed to pierce their hearts. Countless refugees were terrified, their faces as pale as paper, and they hurriedly covered their heads and fled, creating chaos.

Han Xiao had already boarded the Blacklight Stealth, and the mercenary group's officers were also gathered on the ship, their faces solemn. With the Goddora fleet out chasing the enemy, the remaining enemy warships could only be dealt with by them.

Knowing that Goddora was unreliable, Han Xiao hadn't placed any hope in them, so he wasn't too disappointed and shook his head helplessly.

"These days, you can't rely on anyone; you have to be self-reliant to have enough to eat and wear!"

Sylvia assessed the situation and quickly said, "Thirty DarkStar small assault ships. With the current firepower, the shields can only hold for a few more minutes. We must eliminate these enemies before then, otherwise the Sanctuary will suffer major damage."

Han Xiao nodded. At present, he only had one Blacklight Stealth warship to engage the enemy. To quickly eliminate the enemy, it would be best to engage in boarding combat, sending officers into the interiors of each assault ship to wreak havoc. However, the firepower of the thirty assault ships was quite fierce, and even if his vehicle was Blacklight Stealth, there would still be danger if he approached rashly.

Fortunately, I switched to the virtual technology track. Since I lacked hardware skills, I made up for it with software.

"Jinda, you'll control the spaceship. Sylvia, you'll be his second-in-command."

In order to maintain the fighting capacity of the officers, Han Xiao decided to let others pilot the spaceship.

He turned around and opened a control panel beside him. A three-dimensional virtual imaging interface appeared before his eyes. His fingers flew across the screen, rapidly inputting massive amounts of data. The data flowed like a waterfall, infiltrating the enemy's spaceship intelligence at the virtual network level. At this moment, the profession [Virtual Mechanic] was proficient in this technology, and the skill bonus was very high.

Virtual mechanics all have data transmitters. Connecting to enemy spaceships doesn't require hardware connections; as long as they are within the transmitter's range, they can directly connect to the target system.

"Resta, help me crack the firewall!" Han Xiao said while operating the system. This was originally Phillip's job, but Resta's processing efficiency far exceeded Phillip's, making it a greater help.

While Han Xiao was conducting the intelligent intrusion, the Blacklight Stealth quickly took off. With the powerful engines, the ship soon reached high altitude and flew rapidly around the thirty DarkStar Assault Ships, continuously firing.

Bang bang bang--

Laser beams struck the shields of the assault ship array, but failed to penetrate their defenses.

The assault ships also fired a few shots at the dark spaceship, but they were no match for the highly equipped Blacklight Stealth. Seeing that Han Xiao only had one spaceship and that they couldn't penetrate its shields anyway, the assault team ignored the Blacklight Stealth buzzing around like flies and focused on firing at the ground.

The Six Nations watched the battle from the sky via satellite, and their leaders were on edge.

Goddora is unreliable, and Black Star is the last line of defense for Planet Aquamarine. However, it seems that even Black Star cannot stop the enemy. An atmosphere of despair is beginning to permeate the underground fortress where the high-ranking officials of the Six Nations are hiding.

Just then, the shield of an assault ship flickered a few times and suddenly disappeared. The Blacklight Stealth's laser struck the assault ship's hull directly, instantly piercing through the external armor and causing a violent explosion.

Bang!

Flames shot into the sky, and black smoke billowed. The assault ship lost control, swerved, and crashed into its companions. The DarkStar crew members inside the two assault ships were thrown to the ground.

"Hit!"

The leaders of the Six Nations suddenly became much more energetic!

On the Blacklight Stealth, the virtual image in front of Han Xiao had changed, transforming into a 3D projection of a DarkStar assault ship—the very assault ship that had been successfully hacked.

Han Xiao is controlling the projection here, and the effect will be directly reflected on the main body of the assault ship on the other side. He just turned off the opponent's shield generator.

"Done."

Han Xiao's lips curled up, and he glanced at the panel as messages scrolled by.
