The Sea Fork Race's Strange Behavior

No one knows why the Central Star Sea incident happened.

Some factions even sent people to inquire with the Sea Fork Race, but the Sea Fork Race revealed no information whatsoever.

This made many forces feel uneasy.

Besides this incident, several other major events occurred in the Dinghai Star Domain.

The first thing was that Fen Wuji and Xu Wuji of the Void Spirit Race led a group of powerful warriors in a great battle against the cultivators of the Sea Fork Race.

That great battle destroyed several cultivation planets, but the final outcome was unexpected.

Because the two sides suddenly ceased fighting on the fifth day.

No one knows why the two sides stopped fighting, but on the sixth day they joined forces and headed to the Ming Province Continent on the outskirts of the Dinghai Star Domain.

The Ming Province Continent, once an insignificant place, has now become a focus of attention for the Dinghai Star Domain and even the Nine Great Star Domains.

Not only did the Sea Fork Race send people to the Ming Province Continent, but even the strongest individuals from the Nine Great Star Domains followed the Sea Fork Race to the Dinghai Star Domain.

The combined number of Dharma ships numbered over 100,000.

The Sea Fork Race makes up the largest proportion of these forces, since the Dinghai Star Domain is the territory of the Sea Fork Race, and there are a large number of forces that are vassals of the Sea Fork Race.

The reason given by the Sea Fork Race for attacking the Ming Province Continent was also quite unexpected.

That is, a force called Xingfeng Sect on the Ming Province Continent betrayed the Nine Great Star Domains and chose to collude with alien races from the Beyond the Realm.

For the sake of peace in the star field, the Sea Fork Race chose to annihilate the Xingfeng Sect.

Many people don't believe this reason; Beyond the Realm races are too abstract and unrealistic for most people.

Although they didn't believe it, since they couldn't find the specific reason, everyone could only speculate in secret.

However, because of this incident, the name of the Xingfeng Sect spread throughout various star regions during this period.

Such a force, capable of attracting the attention of so many star regions, has rarely occurred in the history of the Nine Great Star Domains.

In everyone's eyes, this great battle would surely be a decisive victory for the Sea Fork Race army, which would annihilate the Xingfeng Sect with overwhelming force.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Before the Sea Fork Race's army even approached the Ming Province Continent, they were suddenly attacked by the Xingfeng Sect.

On that day, the other forces watching the battle only saw bursts of fire in the starry sky.

The flashes of these explosions illuminated every corner of the night sky outside the Ming Province Continent, lasting for a full three days.

The Sea Fork Race's army suffered heavy losses.

The massive fleet of 100,000 French ships was reduced to less than 80,000 after this bombing.

They wiped out 20,000 French ships in one fell swoop.

The strength of the Xingfeng Sect has shocked many people.

Because of this attack, the Sea Fork Race Clan's offensive slowed down, and they began to adopt other tactics to attack the defensive lines set up by the Xingfeng Sect of the Ming Province Continent.

What was originally a decisive battle has turned into a protracted tug-of-war between the two sides.

Six million miles away on the Ming Province Continent.

This is the third line of defense at the Xingfeng Sect.

With the Ming Province Continent as its center, Xingfeng Sect has deployed five lines of defense across a radius of tens of millions of miles in the starry sky.

Each line of defense was fortified with a large fleet and war fortresses.

Each Aerospace Carrier in the fleet carries at least twenty space fighters, capable of rapidly deploying a powerful firepower network in space.

Coupled with their powerful information gathering capabilities, the Xingfeng Sect fleet demonstrated combat strength far exceeding that of the Sea Fork Race Sea Fork Race.

The third line of defense, constructed by the Xingfeng Sect, consisted of more than three hundred war fortresses.

The war fortress is a large-scale war machine developed by Yue Yao.

Each war fortress is equipped with at least a thousand missile silos, enabling rapid saturation nuclear strikes.

Moreover, these war fortresses also possess space-based weapon systems.

Each war fortress is equipped with at least twenty space-based weapons.

And this is only the third line of defense; the next two lines of defense have even more war fortresses, and are practically equipped with Star-Annihilating Cannon.

In one of the war fortresses.

Zhang Xuan was discussing matters with his subordinates.

Zhang Xuan is now the captain of the Black Tortoise Formation. His duty is to be stationed at the front line and provide long-range fire support to the front.

The task of direct combat was left to the other three formations.

"Elder, news has just come from the front lines that a convoy of French ships has broken through their blockade and is heading towards our position. We must intercept them as soon as possible."

A subordinate standing nearby reported to Zhang Xuan.

At the same time, several signal points appeared on the screen in the room, totaling more than thirty.

Their speed was extremely fast, no slower than that of Void Refinement cultivator.

It was clearly a French ship with extremely high speed.

"Trying to launch a surprise attack again, huh? They really won't give up." Zhang Xuan calmly looked at the display on the screen.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

With its speed and powerful weaponry, the Xingfeng Sect fleet prevented the Sea Fork Race army from penetrating within a five-million-mile radius of the Ming Province Continent.

However, this does not include some of the top experts.

For example, cultivators at the Void Refinement, seeing that they couldn't break through head-on, would choose to send out small groups of people on extremely fast magic ships to attempt a separate breakthrough.

They had experienced something like this several times before.

Unfortunately, all of them failed.

The Xingfeng Sect possesses a terrifying weapon of destruction called the Star-Annihilating Cannon.

This weapon was specifically designed by the Xingfeng Sect to deal with cultivators who had reached the Half-Step Dao Integration stage.

Those Void Refinement who attempted to bypass the main army and directly enter the Ming Province Continent almost all perished under the rays of the Star-Annihilating Cannon.

Zhang Xuan looked at the screen and said:

"Taiyi, calculate the target's speed and then generate an attack plan for me."

As Zhang Xuan's voice rang out, Taiyi's voice quickly followed in the command room.

"In progress"

"Detection complete. Target speed: 200 kilometers per second. Estimated to pass through the third defense line in 13 and a half minutes."

"Strike plan in progress"

"Generation complete!"

As Taiyi finished speaking, a red area immediately appeared on the map on the screen, along with the exact time of the missile launch.

Taiyi's calculations are extremely precise.

It not only calculated the time it took for enemy ships to reach the red zone, but also the flight time of friendly missiles.

The screen Taiyi showed the time and the location where the missile needed to strike.

As long as we follow Taiyi's instructions, we can accurately strike the target.

This is the power of intelligent AI.

What was originally an incredibly complex calculation can be completed in a second with AI, and it can even generate multiple combat plans.

AI intelligence provides its opinions based on the battlefield environment and the enemy's situation.

In space warfare, information and decision-making are key to victory or defeat.

Although the cultivators of the Xingfeng Sect were weaker than the Sea Fork Race, they managed to bring the balance of power to an equal footing by relying on their technology and powerful weapons.

Zhang Xuan did not hesitate for long and immediately adopted the plan proposed by Taiyi.

"Notify War Fortresses 135, 168, and 178 to prepare for launch and await my orders!"

Zhang Xuan gave an order.

The subordinate standing nearby immediately nodded in agreement. "Yes!"

Zhang Xuan looked at the solution Taiyi had provided on the screen with a sense of helplessness. Ever since Taiyi came along, he had found himself becoming increasingly lazy.

He was initially quite excited about the Black Tortoise Formation entering space for combat.

But after having Taiyi, he found himself only able to be a tool for giving orders.

You don't need to think about anything, just follow the plan Taiyi gives you.

In fact, not only Zhang Xuan, but other high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect also felt this way.

With Taiyi's help, they didn't have to put in much effort in terms of combat command.

Over a century has passed, Taiyi's evolution is far beyond what it was back then.

Taiyi has now become a qualified military AI commander.

If Chen Feng hadn't been worried about the risks of intelligent AI, he would have already handed over all of the Xingfeng Sect's weapons and equipment to Taiyi for command.

But AI is AI after all; who knows if it might one day evolve into intelligent life and break free from control?

Therefore, Chen Feng always regarded Taiyi as an auxiliary tool, and the final decision-making power still rested with Zhang Xuan and other high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect.

After discussing the tactics, one of the subordinates said with a smile:

"Elder, the Sea Fork Race doesn't seem very strong. Their main army is still blocked outside the third line of defense, so they can only send out small units to harass us now."

The other subordinates also smiled, all feeling that the battle had been easy.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the group, his face turning cold:

"Are you all so smug? You don't actually think those people represent the entirety of the Sea Fork Race's strength, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the people present immediately vanished.

"Hmph, those are just chickens and dogs. In all this fighting, have you seen any of those Half-Step Dao Integration cultivators make a move? Those are the opponents we need to face!" Zhang Xuan said coldly.

Zhang Xuan was well aware of the power of the Sea Fork Race.

This dominant force in the Nine Great Star Domains has only dispatched a portion of its personnel so far.

Given the strength of the Sea Fork Race, it's impossible that they only possess this much power.

"The elder is right!" a subordinate said, ashamed.

He was only thinking about defeating the enemy and getting Contribution Points; he hadn't thought about anything else.

"Keep working. If the enemy breaks through our defenses, we won't even have the face to return to the sect to report back, let alone Contribution Points!"

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly.

Inside the Xingfeng Sect branch on the Ming Province Continent.

Liu Qian sat in the council hall, looking at the intelligence report sent to his phone.

Below Liu Qian sat Yun Qingjue and Jiang Bohan, respectively.

As for the rest of the Xingfeng Sect, they have all been sent to the front lines to fight.

"The Sea Fork Race sent five Half-Step Dao Integration this time, along with Li Songxuan and a few others, making a total of eleven Half-Step Dao Integration level experts. So far, only three Half-Step Dao Integration experts have shown up, and the whereabouts of the rest have not yet been found."

Liu Qian's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Jiang Bohan said:

"Manager, why aren't these Half-Step Dao Integration making a move? With their strength, breaking through our defenses would be no problem at all. Why send those low-level cultivators to attack?"

Yun Qingjue, standing beside him, also looked puzzled.

The actions of the Sea Fork Race were so strange that they still couldn't understand why the Sea Fork Race was attacking them.

Liu Qian shook his head. "I don't know why they haven't made a move either; they must have other plans."

Yun Qingjue hesitated:

Why did the Sea Fork Race suddenly attack us?

Both of them were puzzled by this question, but Liu Qian had not explained it to them before.

"Since you want to know, then I won't hide it from you anymore. The sect leader has already told me about this matter. It's related to a demon he offended in the Immortal Domain Secret Realm."

Liu Qian recounted the story of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil.

After listening to Liu Qian's account, both Jiang Bohan and Yun Qingjue became serious.

Jiang Bohan became puzzled again:

"The sect leader said that a part of the Immortal Domain Secret Realm was controlled by extraterrestrial demons. Then what's going on with this Sea Fork Race army? Could they also be controlled by those Outer Realm Devil Cultivator?"

Liu Qian shook his head:

"Although the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil are strong, they are only at the Dao Integration level. The Sea Fork Race has two Dao Integration, and this time, it wasn't just the Sea Fork Race that attacked our Xingfeng Sect; there were also cultivators from other star fields. I suspect that those people have reached a cooperation agreement with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil."

"What? They actually dare to cooperate with Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil!" Jiang Bohan exclaimed in disbelief.

With just a brief understanding, Jiang Bohan knew exactly what this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil was.

He is clearly a demon, and to cooperate with a demon is like trying to get something out of a tiger.

Yun Qingjue wasn't surprised at all.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, so what if Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil? For those old monsters standing at the top of the star field, it's not surprising that they can cooperate with anyone as long as there is profit to be made."

Liu Qian nodded, "I think so too."

Yun Qingjue then said in a deep voice:

"What I'm worried about now is the Dao Integration- Merging expert behind the Sea Fork Race. The sect already has five Star-Annihilating Cannon. If we add other antimatter weapons, they can handle a few Half-Step Dao Integration, but what if Dao Integration level being makes a move?"

Although Yun Qingjue didn't finish her sentence, her meaning was clear.

Beings at the Dao Integration level are beyond their capabilities to handle.

If it weren't for the fact that Xingfeng Sect had recently created a devastating weapon like the Star-Annihilating Cannon, they wouldn't even be able to handle Half-Step Dao Integration.

Liu Qian said:

"You don't need to worry about that. If they really send out Dao Integration, someone will naturally deal with them."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingjue and Jiang Bohan exchanged a glance, and their first thought was of Chen Feng.

But our sect leader only broke through to the next level not long ago, so how could he already be able to deal with Dao Integration level expert?

Even though they were used to Chen Feng's rapid improvement in strength, they still couldn't believe that Chen Feng could reach the top level of the Nine Great Star Domains in such a short time.

Liu Qian didn't offer an explanation; he continued:

"Simply playing defensively won't work. They've taken the initiative to attack; it's time we started to collect some interest from them."

Yun Qingjue asked, "Does Steward Liu have any plans?"

Liu Qian nodded. "Yes, I've decided to send you with a fleet to raid the vassal states of the Sea Fork Race. Most of their forces are with us now. If we disrupt their rear, they'll definitely fall into disarray."

"Great idea! Those vassal forces definitely don't have any strong warriors left to guard them right now." Jiang Bohan's eyes lit up.

Liu Qian said, "I have already summoned back half of the Antimatter Warship inside the gate. You can take the Antimatter Warship there; it will be faster, and you can escape in time if you encounter danger."

The Xingfeng Sect has recently built another batch of Antimatter Warship.

The Xingfeng Sect currently has a total of thirty Antimatter Warship, and they are still in expedited production.

The fact that so many could be produced in such a short time is naturally due to the resources Chen Feng brought back from the Immortal Domain Secret Realm.

Jiang Bohan and Yun Qingjue didn't chat with Liu Qian, but got up to say goodbye and leave.

With the war intensifying, the sooner they can raid those vassal states, the better it will be for the front lines.
