The Seventh Base - Chapter 1237 - Capítulo 1237: 280: Advanced Starship
Capítulo 1237: Chapter 280: Advanced Starship
On Chloe Star, countless people watched the fierce battle in space.
On the battlefield, they saw the space base turning into a sea of flames, with ruins everywhere after explosions, but the remaining forces of the base were still fighting.
The space base on Chloe Star was on the brink of collapse.
However, for this, the Kales Empire had paid a great price. Even after the support fleets from all sides of the O’Brian Republic arrived, the Kales Empire still launched a fierce attack on the space base, trying to threaten Chloe Star directly by destroying the base, forcing the republic into caution.
But under the stubborn resistance of the space base and the Chloe Star Province, coupled with the continuous attacks from the support fleet, the Kales Empire Fleet suffered extremely heavy losses. Now their formation had long been torn apart, warships were scattered in different places to fight, from a whole into scattered forces.
In fact, on many battlefields, top Transcendents who piloted Mecha or wore Battle Armor had already stepped out from the space base to fight in space, forcefully boarding the enemy’s starships.
As the war reached this point, Transcendents also took the stage of war. The space base was running out of energy for further battle and could only rely on the most primitive method, manpower combat, to continue blocking the enemy’s advances.
“Boom…”
A destructive attack descended, and a giant weapon of the space base was hit, causing an explosion. It was the Anti-gravity Shock Wave Weapon, which played an extremely important role in the base’s defense, blocking the opponent’s multiple destructive attacks.
But now, it finally fell.
In the command room, alarms sounded, lights flickered as if ready to go out at any moment, Rorich spoke: “This is Rorich, Governor of Chloe Star. The space base of Chloe Star is about to lose combat capability. I will make a tactical retreat. From here on, it’s in your hands; don’t let the Kales Empire Fleet break through the space base to attack Chloe Star. The lives of tens of billions on Chloe Star rest in your hands.”
Having said that, Rorich turned and walked outside.
In this battle, Chloe Star made great sacrifices to annihilate the Kales Empire Fleet. He had fulfilled his duty; from here on, it was no longer his responsibility.
Although Chloe Star still had many independent armed forces, they could no longer be unified for command and combat.
Not long after Rorich left, a beam of light directly penetrated the command section where he was, and in an instant, the entire area shattered into nothingness, the space base was paralyzing. Rorich, driving a starship towards Chloe Star, looked back.
This Chloe Star battle, who knew if it could alter the war dynamics between the O’Brian Republic and the Kales Empire.
He saw some starships starting to back in the direction of Chloe Star, and more and more did so. The Republic’s fleet didn’t completely take assault tactics but adopted some level of defense after the space base’s paralysis to prevent opponent’s starships from attacking Chloe Star, otherwise, it would result in a disaster.
If Chloe Star were destroyed, even winning this battle would be meaningless.
In the Netherworld Battleship.
Roson Chris wore a grim expression. As the battle went on, he knew they were losing. The O’Brian Republic hadn’t dispatched a huge fleet for support, but the arriving fleets consisted of very high-level starships, including numerous Advanced Starships, forming a trend of annihilation once they entered the battlefield.
Now, more than half of their fleet had already been lost, and continuing the battle would only result in heavier losses, even total burial here was possible.
Starships that lost their combat power were gradually retreating from the battlefield. Some made it away, while others were destroyed during the retreat.
Roson Chris was of Destroyer Level, he thought of personally breaking out and heading towards the opponent’s main ship.
But with a large number of starships still in the battlefield, many of them Advanced Battleships, once he went out and was noticed, the opponent might focus all starships to attack him. Under the attack of multiple Destruction Level weapons, even a Destroyer would find it hard to bear.
“Mr. Roson, we need to withdraw.”
At this moment, a voice came, from another warship.
Roson Chris’s face turned cold; the voice wasn’t from someone from the Kales Empire but from the Church. This time, in name, they were dispatched under the Kales Empire, but in reality, the Church’s forces mixed in, reaching some kind of agreement.
Because of this, Xu Mo could learn of the operation through an Archbishop’s memory. That Archbishop was responsible for certain matters in this war.
Now, facing a passive war situation, the Church’s forces were preparing to withdraw. They did not want to be buried entirely here.
However, although the Church contributed significant forces in this operation, most of the fleet’s starships belonged to the Kales Empire. After suffering such severe losses through the battle, a withdrawal would be ultimately unsatisfactory.
The Church’s people, instead of discussing with him, informed him of the result.
They were going to withdraw.
Sure enough, as the voice fell, many fleets started to fight and retreat, beginning to withdraw, but the O’Brian Republic fleet noticed their actions and launched fierce attacks.
In another part of space, fighting equally broke out.
Xu Mo stood in the command room, able to see the war scene breaking out over the main battleground in outer space of Chloe Star. Some starships they previously controlled had already mingled into the battlefield, some destroyed in the action, while the remaining starships could provide them with a view, and even later, a route.
Not far outside their fleet, several starships were surrounded. Their personnel had already landed and were bringing a group of people their way. Moments later, the faces of their side appeared in the command room of the opposing starship.
“Mr. Xu Mo, they are under control,” the other side responded.
“Hmm, thank you for your hard work.” Xu Mo nodded, then turned to head outside, preparing to interrogate the people. Having the ability to search memories made interrogation much easier.
Not long after, Xu Mo returned to the command room and said, “They are people from the Church. They disguised themselves as the Kales Empire Fleet. They must have been dumbfounded when they saw our fleet’s emblem.”
The Church’s fleet disguised themselves as the Kales Fleet, acting together, yet they hung the Church’s emblem, which made Xu Mo a bit dismayed. Had he done something useless?
One could easily tell they weren’t from the Church, because the Church would never hang their own emblem.
“The Church has had quite a hand in this war; they are inciting it,” Gaia spoke. “I saw an advanced starship retreating from the battlefield. Let’s go hunt it down.”
“An advanced starship.” Xu Mo’s eyes brightened a bit.
He had done this sort of thing before, so he was quite adept at it. He initially became wealthy through war.
This time, it was also a return to the old road of prosperity.
This couldn’t be helped. Although they obtained Fred’s team, development takes time. No matter how formidable Fred was, they still just had a limited number of people.
To develop quickly, they could only rely on war to plunder and develop some power first.
The main hunting target of this operation was advanced starships.
Their advanced starships were too few, with only two that could be used in combat.
The Plunder and Chiyou started simultaneous actions, heading in a direction, preparing to target a retreating advanced starship.
Moreover, they no longer concealed their actions, just like how they took over the opposing starship before.
A battle was already raging over there, and they were not afraid that the Kales Empire could spare strength, so they didn’t need to worry about anything, only to fight boldly.
……
The ‘Hell’ warship, one of the main ships of the Kales Empire’s current operation, was also a main ship of a fleet.
The ‘Hell Fleet’, formed by this fleet, excelled in raids and fortifications, boasting formidable firepower. Thus, they suffered the heaviest hits in this battle, always on the frontline, enduring the strongest pressures.
As the ‘Hell’ warship was about to lose combat power, they decided to retreat to preserve this fleet.
Any fleet led by an advanced warship was a significant force of the Kales Empire, and they would do everything to preserve it.
The commander of the Hell Fleet was General Morris, who was rich in battle experience and a top-level Skywalker himself, with outstanding personal combat power.
At this time, he wore black advanced battle armor, standing in the command room, still paying attention to the scenes on the battlefield there.
“It seems the information has been leaked,” Morris said. If the information hadn’t leaked, the actions from the O’Brian Republic side wouldn’t be so precise. This was a premeditated hunt, using Chloe Star as bait, intending to annihilate them in outer space near Chloe Star.
“General, we’ve discovered several probes in our travel path. These probes seem to be watching us and we’ve already destroyed several,” someone in the control room said.
Morris frowned and said, “Are you suggesting…”
“General, is it possible that the O’Brian Republic set up a fleet in the periphery to intercept, laying out this space domain?” that person keenly sensed a hint of something wrong. If so, they were in trouble.
“If the Republic had such strong power, they could just invade comprehensively,” Morris said. “Probably not, right?”
His voice seemed less confident.
Currently, besides the main ship, the ‘Hell’ fleet only had twenty to thirty starships left, many severely damaged, making their combat power much reduced. If they encountered another Republic fleet for intercepting, it would be extremely dangerous for them.
The main ship of the Hell Fleet, already had little combat power.
At this moment, the person who was speaking suddenly turned pale and said, “General, enemy signals are detected, they are attempting to block signals.”
Morris’s face also became grim, then he connected to the main ship and said, “Marshal, we are ambushed; external fleet forces exist outside. Take care.”
After saying that, the signal was strongly jammed, and on the screen, two fleets had already appeared in view.
