Chapter 614: 600 Battle Prologue
The chaos that erupted within the Star Alliance Fleet also caught the eye of Bai Zhongqi.
It seemed that the Chancellor's consciousness became clearer and more expansive as his body was severely ravaged. Bai Zhongqi felt as if he could see the entire battlefield stretching across several astronomical units, as if he were an omniscient and omnipotent deity, able to see the smallest details—even a fragment of a celestial body mere centimeters in size within this range was clearly perceptible to him.
"Could it be Wang Dong, that kid?" Through the Sky-Piercing Pyramid, Bai Zhongqi sensed the new owner of the Yaksha, never expecting this man, who always scorned the powerful and never really showed him due respect, to have become his Knight.
His consciousness then reached out to his new Knight and warrior, "Alright, there's no reason to let the Yaksha Knight have all the glory alone, it's our turn to join in."
At this moment, Taschwe said excitedly, "Perfect, let me test out my new partner!"
Even Jun Jiushao was eager to try, "Although I'm not an ace mechanic like you, piloting vehicles is also my strong suit."
Chi Jia quietly looked at the Divine Weapon in his hands and said, "I'll pass, as a captain of a fleet, I can play a much larger role than being a mechanic."
Cui Zhihao, who made the same choice, was probably the most excited of them all after becoming Bai Zhongqi's official Knight of Destiny. Cui Zhihao was arranged by Bai Zhongqi into his newly formed fleet and easily became the captain of a warship. He was eager to lead his former Rebel Army comrades and show the now unprincipled and sycophantic Star Alliance troops what true Earthlings should be like.
Bai Zhongqi didn't demand that these new Knights take their Mechas into battle, although these Mechas were indeed very powerful—comparable to a fleet without any exaggeration.
"Then let's begin!"
———DIVIDER———
Su Shuang looked serious, gazing at the large-scale wormholes appearing in the universe ahead, his heart wavering slightly over his decision.
Suo Kexiao also smiled, teasing Su Shuang, "Fifth Divine General, are you sure this isn't a case of biting off more than you can chew? This Chancellor's fleet might well exceed the ten thousand vessels we estimated."
Xiao Yu, who had been dragged here by the two Divine Generals, retorted angrily, "I am the Chancellor, that one is the rebel!"
Suo Kexiao didn't even bother to pay attention to him, his hands cradling his head, appearing extremely relaxed, only those familiar with him could detect a trace of calmness and precision in his eyes. The Divine General, known for his accurate calculations and not wasting an iota on the battlefield, has always been rebellious and loves causing trouble. That's why Suo Kexiao has always been suppressed within the Borke Civilization, even forbidden from casually leaving the homeworld.
Su Shuang didn't seem particularly tense either, just his usual serious and meticulous self. After observing for a moment, he said, "About seventy thousand warships, mostly Swarm Ships. We're significantly outnumbered."
Suo Kexiao said nonchalantly, "One side with seventy thousand, the other with one hundred thousand, together making a battle with a total of one hundred seventy thousand warships. The last time we saw a war of this scale was during the High Council civil war, right?"
Su Shuang glared at Suo Kexiao and said, "Silence, you know that is not a topic we are allowed to discuss."
Suo Kexiao chuckled, "History that has happened is too difficult to cover up."
"We now have our own enemies to deal with."
"Fifth Divine General, your ranking is higher than mine, and you still have your two flagship treasures of the army, so I won't interfere with your business. The enemy has 30,000 fewer warships than us, and we also have at least 5,000 warships from the top ten giants above level 30, no one could possibly lose such a battle."
Su Shuang wasn't as relaxed and calm as Suo Kexiao thought; he said, "This enemy is one we have never confronted before, a Swarm with human thinking. Even if it's not the highest-level Swarm civilization the Galaxy has ever faced, it's not far off. Moreover, there are four fleets with different formations from the Swarm over there, their military training and standard are much stronger than most of the civilizations in the High Council."
"What's the point of being so pessimistic?"
Su Shuang replied, "I'm not being pessimistic. The fact that they can come and go as they please means that it's a battle they can't lose. I've merely drawn Xiao Yu into this, giving them a reason they cannot refuse to fight."
Xiao Yu, standing beside, was seething with anger, yet he kept silent. If he could have taken down these two Divine Generals, he would have done so already. He hadn't imagined that both Divine Generals were Star Warrior masters, and that Su Shuang also wielded a quite magical power that bound his Star Energy usage.
Indeed, Xiao Yu held the Supreme Command, commanding more than eighty thousand Star Alliance warships on the battlefield, but he couldn't fall out with Su Shuang. Although he was forced to come by Su Shuang, as Su Shuang said, if this battle were truly won, then the troubles of him as the Chancellor of the Star Alliance would be resolved.
Suo Kexiao then proposed, "If we want to prevent the Star Swallowers from leaving, it can be done. Immediately inform the council, and ask them to pressure the Flyshear Civilization to produce another Space Boundary Adhesive Generator. Optimistically estimating, it could be sent through the Stargate and deployed near the nearest instant Stargate within about thirty hours and deployed onto the battlefield."
Su Shuang nodded, "So your suggestion is that we drag out the war as much as possible, and once the Space Boundary Adhesive Generator is on the battlefield and blocks the Star Swallowers' escape route, we give it our all to defeat them?"
Suo Kexiao smiled, "Those are your own words."
Su Shuang pondered for a few seconds, then said, "I will declare this situation to the council. However, I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be."
At this moment, Xiao Yu, seeing the two discussing strategy so leisurely, unable to suppress his anger, pointed at the Yaksha Mecha rampaging on one of the screens and shouted, "Haven't you seen? That thing has already destroyed seven or eight of our ships, aren't you going to do something about it?"
Su Shuang had naturally noticed the Divine Mech from the beginning and was familiar with such things.
"It doesn't matter, like humans, this thing will also run out of energy eventually, and it's not invincible."
Su Shuang commanded his two Divine Flagships to turn their guns, and as the gunports moved, the Sergeant Major inside the Yaksha Mecha seemed to sense it and desperately retreated, immediately breaking away from the combat circle of the Star Alliance Fleet.
Several powerful cannon shots blasted towards the Yaksha, almost all the nearby warships could feel the terrifying tertiary waves of power from these shots. The Sergeant Major, being a veteran too, immediately engaged short-range warp when he could have been targeted by several cannon shots.
