Capítulo 1238: Chapter 281: Pursuit
When he saw the two fleets appear, General Morris understood that they were finished.
This time they were completely caught off guard, the opponent’s setup was more perfect than they had imagined, and there was no escape.
If this was merely one of the forces for interception, then it would be a huge disaster for the Kales Empire, as any fleet attempting to retreat would be intercepted.
“General…”
In the main ship, the voices of each warship commander came through, all of them ready for battle. Although they were part of the retreating fleet, the ‘Hell’ warship could still make a final desperate struggle.
However, the other side did not attack immediately; instead, they were attempting to invade the main ship’s signal.
“Let them connect,” Morris commanded. The ‘Hell’ warship, as one of the main ships of the Kales Empire, was not so easily breached by signals. Only after Morris gave the order did the opposing signal connect to the Hell warship.
Before Morris appeared a figure hidden in armor, their true identity unknown.
Morris stared at the figure without speaking, only listening as the figure spoke: “Surrender and you won’t be killed.”
The Hell Fleet still had combat power. If they fought desperately, it would certainly cause some losses for the opponent. If they could resolve the situation without fighting, that would obviously be best.
“Who are you, and why are you masquerading as the Church’s fleet?” Morris asked, contemplating other possibilities. Could this fleet not be the Republic Fleet?
“All fleets ready,” Xu Mo ordered, ignoring Morris’s question. Instantly, the two fleets locked onto the Hell Fleet. If the Hell Fleet dared to resist, they would immediately launch an attack to clean them out.
“I don’t have much time,” Xu Mo stared at Morris and said, “Hand over the command of the warships, and you may be spared.”
Morris’s expression changed constantly, staring at Xu Mo he asked, “You want the warships?”
“So, not the Republic Fleet…”
Morris speculated that if it were the Republic Fleet, there would be no need for these actions.
Thus, besides the O’Brian Republic and the Kales Empire, there existed another power in this space.
They were here to plunder.
Seeing Xu Mo not respond, Morris spoke solemnly, “I don’t even know your identity, how can I be sure that after handing over the warships, you’ll spare the fleet’s members?”
“Sorry, you have no choice. I’m not bargaining with you.” As Xu Mo’s words ended, a beam of light suddenly burst from space, hitting one of the warships in the Hell Fleet. That warship was already on the verge of being scrapped and could not withstand another attack, directly exploding in space.
Dead silence.
Morris stared fiercely at Xu Mo, who also looked at him, continuing, “In ten seconds, the next round of attacks will be stronger.”
Again silence, each second seemed exceptionally long.
“Three,” Xu Mo began counting down.
“Two.”
“I hope you keep your promise,” Morris said, “What should we do?”
“Bring all warship commanders from the fleet to my main ship, my people will take over your warships,” Xu Mo stated.
“Alright.” Morris nodded in agreement.
The Plunder Battleship moved forward towards the Hell Fleet, both fleets converging in that direction with their weapons ready to fire at any moment. Any sudden movement would result in the immediate destruction of the Hell Fleet.
A moment later, the Hell warship’s hatch opened, and a group of figures stepped out into space, heading towards the Plunder Battleship.
“Be careful of deception,” Gaia transmitted a warning to Xu Mo.
“I’ll go myself.”
Xu Mo said, then left the command room with Gaia following him.
Xu Mo certainly understood there might be trickery involved.
The Plunder Battleship still allowed Morris and his team to come aboard.
“You promised our safety,” Morris said to Xu Mo upon entering the Plunder Battleship.
“Of course,” Xu Mo nodded, “However, some matters need confirmation, so I would like to see your memories to ensure your sincerity in surrendering.”
With that, his spiritual power enveloped Morris and his men, delving towards their minds.
Feeling the invasion of his mind, Morris’s expression changed.
“Kill.”
In the next instant, Morris spat out a cold word, and a violent energy aura erupted fiercely.
The Hell Fleet was near collapse; if a battle ensued, they would not be the match and would likely face total annihilation.
Hence, Morris feigned surrender, entering Xu Mo’s main ship, waiting for an opportunity to seize control of the opponent’s main ship later.
As the Supreme Commander of the Hell Fleet, General Morris himself is also a formidable Skywalker.
“Boom…”
At this moment, the Divine Domain of Xu Mo and Gaia erupted simultaneously, suppressing the internal space of the starship, making Morris and the people behind him feel immobile, as if under a deadly suppression.
Morris felt his Domain Power was being tightly suppressed, his gaze fixed on Xu Mo and Gaia, shouting, “It’s you.”
This Domain Power, combined with the events that occurred in Asgard and the Republic Capital Star of the O’Brian Republic recently, led him to roughly guess the identity of the other party.
“Do you still want to resist?” Xu Mo’s voice echoed in Morris’s mind.
“As a general of the Empire, I will die rather than surrender.” Morris roared, his body charging towards Xu Mo and Gaia.
“Barbarian Star Domain, dare to claim yourselves as an Empire.” Gaia coldly scolded, as terrifying Divine Domain pressed down on the opponent. Xu Mo moved forward, delivering a punch to Morris’s head. Due to the double suppression by Gaia and Xu Mo, Morris was unable to defend against this punch and was brutally killed.
After killing the opponent, Xu Mo and Gaia’s spiritual pressure targeted the others behind him; quickly, the dead were dead, and those not dead were controlled.
Some time later, the Hell Fleet was completely under their control, and they set off to leave this area of space.
Afterward, the two fleets separated once more to continue their plundering.
As time slowly passed, outside the main battlefield of the Chloe Star Space Base, the brutal battle finally came to an end. After the Church’s fleet chose to retreat, the Kales Empire Fleet also ordered a retreat, with all warships departing in different directions to divert the opponent’s attention; otherwise, if they gathered together for retreat, they would face annihilation by the O’Brian Republic.
Previously, they had already withdrawn some damaged warships, but they discovered some warships had lost contact.
Among them, a total of three main battleships.
The Netherworld Fleet encountered strong encirclement during its retreat, with the main force of the O’Brian Republic fleet focusing on them.
In the Netherworld Battleship command room, Roson Chris’s face became icy.
This battle can be considered a disastrous defeat.
Furthermore, there is still an external force conducting a hunt.
How many can escape this time is unknown.
This grand military operation will end in an extremely tragic manner.
“Teacher, how did the information leak?” Lonco’s icy voice spoke out; now they all knew that there was a definite leak of information beforehand.
“Now is not the time to pursue this issue.” Roson observed the continuous attacks from outside; they were still not out of danger.
He is somewhat worried now whether there is still an O’Brian Republic fleet hijacking them in space.
Who hijacked Morris? The O’Brian Republic or is there another force?
Not only are they doubtful, the other force is also full of suspicions.
The Church’s fleet was also chased; although they were the first to retreat ahead of the Kales Empire Fleet, the O’Brian Republic did not let them off, tracking and bombarding them all the way, leaving the Church fleet shattered and with heavy losses.
Even the main ship, the Holy Light Battleship, faced numerous attacks, expending enormous energy and suffering significant shield damage.
Within the Holy Light Main Ship, the commander is a Church fleet high-ranking officer, accompanied by a Red-clothed Archbishop.
This joint operation targeting Chloe Star was originally impossible to fail; with the mighty army at the gates, their estimate was to break through the space base, occupy Chloe Star, and destroy all defense measures and military forces on Chloe Star within a day, causing the O’Brian Republic to lose a main star.
However, against expectations, this military operation ended in a disastrous failure.
Now, they are like homeless dogs on the run.
“What happened to our trial starship?” The Red-clothed Archbishop’s voice was low and angry; his mood was extremely bad.
“I surmise there exists another force.” The commander spoke; the Church started planning and assembling its fleet power many years ago, establishing an independent leadership structure for the fleet, but it is still under the Church’s control on this side. Therefore, although this commander is in the highest position within the fleet, he is still subjected to the jurisdiction of the Red-clothed Archbishop.
“Another force?” The Red-clothed Archbishop inquired, “Are you certain it’s not the republic?”
“The previous messages sent from over there mentioned seeing the mark of our Church, so it should not be the republic’s force.” The commander lowered his voice, and the Red-clothed Archbishop’s face turned ashen.
In space, there is unexpectedly a mysterious force disguising itself as their Church fleet, gradually consuming many of their starships.
They were unaware of this.
At this time, at a certain position in space, there are two fleets traveling from different directions but maintaining the same course as them, relentlessly tracking them.
On the Plunder Battleship, Xu Mo and his team were able to clearly see the position of the Church fleet fleeing, as within the opponent’s fleet there happened to be their previously captured warships, providing them with navigation, allowing them to continue tracking.
The Church!
Xu Mo has a deep enmity with the Church, considering this fleet is not very strong, they decided to tail it to see if there’s an opportunity; however, currently, the O’Brian Republic’s fleet still adheres to them, continually straining the Church fleet. They are not yet suitable to reveal themselves, only silently moving through space; if there’s no opportunity, then so be it, but should there be a chance, perhaps they could attempt to consume the Church’s fleet.
