Three powerful Lower God attacked, but Lancelot single-handedly killed two of them, and the remaining one dared not fight any longer and fled in panic.
This scene in the Void greatly boosted the morale of the allied forces, while also terrifying the enemy, who immediately retreated. However, it was too late. Without the support of advanced combat forces, the Void fleet alone was easily breached, creating a breakthrough.
Even if this breach can be plugged in time, as long as powerful individuals wielding individual strength continue to launch attacks, the fleet will eventually be overwhelmed if it lacks effective defensive measures.
The subsequent development of the war indeed followed this pattern: Lancelot ventured deep into enemy territory alone, becoming a Intimidation dagger that charged directly into the enemy lines, rampaging through everything in its path.
The reinforcements from the Eight Gods' Realm had to devote a significant portion of their energy to dealing with Lancelot, which gave the allied fleet the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Don't forget, the allied forces also have a True God, Barakat. Although his combat power is far inferior to Lancelot's, he is still quite destructive when dealing with Void fleet that does not have God Level warship.
The two True God attacked from both sides, closing in on the warships and wreaking havoc. One after another, the Void warships were blown to pieces, and various fragments scattered like snowflakes, tearing through the Void and creating streaks of dim light.
Almost instantly, the allied forces, who initially seemed to be at a disadvantage, actually routed the enemy's reinforcements, who held an absolute advantage. Their performance was even more impressive than that of the main combat forces, which was astonishing.
The vanguard fortress was also breached by the main army. The garrison inside was either killed or taken prisoner, while some fought desperately, retreating into the trenches and ravines on the ground to put up a last stand.
In terms of combat results, Lancelot and his troops on the front line have undoubtedly achieved success.
Of course, the victory in a local battle did not go to Lancelot's head; he then led his fleet and Barakat to support other battlefields.
Not long after destroying another Eight Gods' Realm fleet, Lancelot was about to press his advantage and destroy the enemy's vanguard fortress when he suddenly received a new tactical mission.
After glancing at the contents, Lancelot's eyes narrowed, while Barakat, who was beaming with joy beside him, exclaimed in shock, "What? We're being told to retreat immediately? Why?"
"Why the sudden retreat? Did the staff behind them get their heads caught in a door?"
Lancelot, instead of making a scene, calmly contacted Logo and quickly received the information. "I see."
"What happened? Your Excellency Holy Light, do you know the reason?" Barakat asked quickly when he saw Lancelot's sudden realization.
Lancelot sighed, saying helplessly, "In this operation, only our side achieved decent results. The situation on other local battlefields deteriorated rapidly. The main force of the allied forces was directly overrun by the Eight Gods' Realm. More than 40,000 Void warships were reduced to dust and fragments. The twelve True God were either captured or perished on the spot. The losses were heavy!"
"What?!"
Barakat almost let out a sharp screech, his low-slung body swaying a few times, appearing quite disoriented.
"It's simple. The Eight Gods' Realm deployed most of its high-end combat power to the battlefield in the first wave. Not only that, they also brought in many mysterious True God from somewhere as external reinforcements."
Lancelot explained, squinting his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Barakat managed to calm himself and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be True God secretly sent by the Crimson Moon Civilization?"
"I don't know." Lancelot shook his head. "The key now is to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise we will face the danger of being surrounded from all sides."
"Yes, yes, let's retreat quickly, I don't want to get captured." Barakat hurriedly replied, and then ordered the entire army to retreat, with engines running at maximum power, not sparing any energy consumption.
Although the warriors of the Void Fleet did not understand the great True God's orders, they resolutely carried them out. After all, just now, the great True God had led them to victory in two consecutive wars, winning their trust with the blood of the enemy.
One after another, warships streaked across the dark Void like meteors, trailing streaks of energy. From a distance, they resembled a meteor shower. Lancelot stood at the rear of the fleet, his heart heavy. The first battle had resulted in heavy losses; the strength of the Eight Gods' Realm was unexpectedly formidable.
Even though he achieved some good results on local battlefields, it was all in vain. The first direct confrontation between the Alpha Universe Cluster Armed Forces Alliance and the Crimson Moon Universe Cluster's Eight Gods' Realm undoubtedly ended in failure.
Just as Lancelot led his fleet in retreat...
On the other side, the main battlefield.
Inside the burning skeleton warship, the corpses of various undead creatures were scattered all over the ground, piles of white bones, and the deathly flames of souls drifted everywhere.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, Kalachi, Middle God the Eight Gods' Realm nicknamed "Raging Flame," pulled his Iron Fist, encased in a metal gauntlet, from the chest of his heavily wounded enemy.
The leader of the Deathspeaker Force collapsed heavily, his soul fire flickering like a candle in the wind. Cracks covered almost every part of his body, his bones were nearly reduced to dust, and he was on the verge of death.
"Be careful of his Raging Flame; don't actually kill him. The king wants a living True God; a dead one won't fetch a good price."
"I'm standing to the side," said Sky Thunderbolt Darian, frowning.
Raging Flame Kalachi stood up, wiped his hands, and smiled disdainfully. His eyes, burning with flames, resembled two suns. "Don't worry, I'm keeping things under control. This guy won't die."
Upon hearing this, Darian shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he received a piece of intelligence. After reading it, his expression immediately changed.
Noticing this, Raging Flame Kalachi asked nonchalantly, "What's going on now?"
"See for yourself." Sky Thunder Darian sent the intelligence message he had received to Kalachi.
The latter, after reading it, smiled and eagerly said, "I heard you and Kanerxi mention this Radiance of Holy Light Lancelot last time. A mere Lower God, yet he managed to escape from your encirclement. Now he even possesses the combat power of Middle God. If his life rank is still Lower God, then he's fighting beyond his rank! Even at the True God level, he's a genius!"
"To fight against such an opponent would definitely be very rewarding!" Raging Flame Kalachi said, licking his lips, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Darian was not surprised by Kalachi's reaction. Among the eight gods of the Eight Gods' Realm, Raging Flame was undoubtedly the most obsessed with fighting, and his strength was second only to the King and the Lord of Broken Blade, Kalachi him extremely formidable.
"Let's proceed slowly. Ursula is setting up a capture plan. This Radiance of Holy Light is very important. Even if the two of you fight in the future, don't kill him. It's best to capture him alive... This is the king's order!" Darian instructed.
Raging Flame Kalachi curled his lip and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, no need to use the king to intimidate me. I know what's important. If I run into this kid, I'll spare his life!"
