The Seventh Base - Chapter 1262 - Capítulo 1262: 21: Lineup

Capítulo 1262: Chapter 21: Lineup

General Morris walked into the command room and saw on the screen that a starship had been locked on.

“Just one?” Morris asked.

“Yes, just one, but its level is very high,” someone in the front responded.

As he spoke, glaring energy light shot towards their fleet.

“Intercept.”

Numerous starships simultaneously fired to intercept the opponent’s firepower. Intense light burst forth in the universe, as if light swords crossed the cosmos, composed of terrifying energy. The energy bursting from the light swords triggered strong warnings in the Kales Empire’s starships.

Their fleet fired simultaneously to intercept, but they were shocked to find that the horrifying cosmic ray lightsabers were like true cosmic swords, slicing through space, cutting it apart.

“What kind of weapon is this…” Morris’s face darkened as he saw the terrifying cosmic ray lightsabers cutting through space. Some ships couldn’t intercept them, and when the cosmic ray lightsabers struck the starships, they sliced through the protective shield and continued downward, instantly severing several starships, which exploded and were destroyed in space.

Morris’s face darkened and he ordered, “Concentrate all fleet firepower, we must take them down.”

The fleet’s more than a hundred starships simultaneously lit up with strong light. Although the opponent’s starship was powerful, it was ultimately just one starship.

“They’re retreating.”

The operator said that they noticed the opponent’s warship began accelerating to retreat after firing one attack.

“They’re requesting a connection…”

“Answer it.” Morris, with a cold gaze, connected to the signal from the opposing starship, and the picture immediately appeared before him. He saw two faces.

“Xu Mo, Gaia…”

Morris spoke when he saw the two. He knew both of them. Xu Mo and Gaia were well-known figures in the universe now.

It seemed likely that Xu Mo was indeed related to the Emperor.

With Xu Mo and Gaia present, that must be the flagship of the Star Ring.

“Who are you?” Xu Mo asked.

“Kales Empire, Morris,” Morris responded.

“If the Kales Empire is willing to withdraw, we can maintain peace,” Xu Mo said.

“Maintain peace?” Morris stared at them, “The battle of Chloe Star, was that you?”

“We were targeting the Church,” Xu Mo said, “We do not wish to wage war with the Kales Empire.”

“Wage war with the Kales Empire? With your current power?” General Morris said, “If you surrender, perhaps the Emperor of the Empire could forgive past grievances.”

“The Emperor of the Empire? Even Emperor River dares not enter, yet dares to call it an Empire,” Gaia frowned, and then Morris found the signal was cut off unilaterally.

Morris stared at the vanished picture and said grimly, “All fleet units, intercept the opponent’s starship and destroy it.”

He believed that Xu Mo and Gaia would survive.

On the other side, the base ship.

Both Xu Mo and Gaia were there, and just after the signal was cut, they saw terrifying attacks coming at them. The opponent fleet opened fire simultaneously, with long-range shots, and the destructive beams almost engulfed the Base Starship.

The Base Starship manifested several cosmic ray lightsabers, intercepting many of the attacks, and at the same time, the protective shield of the Base Starship was activated. Yet, even so, many attacks still landed on the Base Starship, though the threats posed by regular starships were limited aside from the advanced starships.

The Base Starship fled at full speed, continually firing, and the signal frantically searched for starships in space.

Their combat plan was not to destroy the opponent’s starships. With only one main ship, they couldn’t destroy the opponent, and in direct combat, a single fleet against an entire fleet would surely see them fall first.

Moreover, the opponent would likely have fleet reinforcements. Their goal was to draw out the opponent and see what forces they could deploy this time.

In space, a pursuit unfolded, with terrifying attacks continually erupting in the cosmos, creating a spectacular scene.

“Three fleets have appeared,” Gaia said in the Base Command Room, as they had already detected three fleets closing in to encircle them.

These three fleets had advanced starships, totaling over three hundred ships, and there might be more.

“It seems the Kales Empire has deployed considerable power against us this time,” Xu Mo said. The war between the Kales Empire and the Republic continued. They needed to deal with the Republic’s side, mobilizing a fleet in the Republic’s space domain specifically against them, showing how much they were regarded.

However, it is also normal, given Gaia’s identity. Initially, it attracted the attention of various forces across the universe. Later, Gaia and he found the Star Ring and joined them. Plus, with his current ‘false identity,’ who wouldn’t want to capture them alive?

“Boom…”

The starship shook violently, clearly having suffered numerous attacks, and their energy protection shield had already been significantly depleted.

“Sir, another fleet has appeared.” The starship operator said. The command room’s screen was divided into several segments, split into four parts, with each area showing the image of a fleet.

At this moment, another fleet appeared in the upper area above them.

This new fleet had over a hundred starships.

“Their main ship has locked onto us, and this warship is strong,” the operator continued, Gaia and Xu Mo stared at the screen display, where they saw dazzling energy light erupting from the newly emerged fleet’s main ship.

“Prepare to intercept,” Gaia said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light appeared on the screen, resembling a massive bullet in an umbrella-shaped spike.

The Base Starship unleashed brilliant cosmic light swords, slashing towards the umbrella-shaped missile, but the light swords didn’t manage to split it open this time. The terrifying umbrella-shaped beam continued to press forward, pushing the light swords aside.

Almost in the next instant, the Base Starship erupted with another bright light. This light wasn’t an attack but rather formed a nebula shield, guarding the front of the warship.

The umbrella-shaped attack made contact with the nebula shield, instantly flooding this part of space with bright light. Even inside the starship, it felt dazzling. The umbrella-shaped attack pierced into the shield but ultimately didn’t penetrate it. However, at that moment, the attacks from other warships in the fleet fell upon different parts of the nebula shield simultaneously, causing it to violently explode like fireworks in space, extremely dazzling.

While intercepting the attack, the Base Starship didn’t stop moving, advancing rapidly toward a gap position, its powerful engine propelling it like a beam of light through space.

The four fleets closely followed the Base Starship’s path, knowing that Gaia and Xu Mo were both onboard, and that this starship must be a creation of the Star Ring. In such circumstances, they couldn’t help but go all out to capture it.

“That fleet may be the Kales Empire Fleet, but its main ship belongs to the Church, and Morris’ main ship isn’t even the strongest among them. It seems the Kales Empire and Church are quite strategic in their approach.” Xu Mo remarked coldly.

“However, in this case, the opposing fleet should appear one after another, as there are already seven or eight advanced starships. We should soon know the entirety of the opposing fleet.” Gaia responded.

Earlier, they deliberately connected with Morris to let the opponent know they were on the Base Starship, ensuring the opponent wouldn’t hold back and would dispatch all their starships for annihilation. This was indeed the case.

Meanwhile, aboard the Church’s main ship,

A figure stood in the command room, with everyone around appearing particularly tense and on high alert.

The figure standing there was one of the four Church Elders, a Destroyer-level existence. This time he came mainly to target the opponent’s Destroyer.

During the battle on Asgard, an advanced warship was seized, and a Red-clothed Archbishop was killed.

Before the ship was seized, rumors of a Destroyer emerged.

He came to possibly oppose the opponent’s Destroyer, uncertain of which iconic figure from the Empire era they might be.

But for now, blocking the opponent’s main ship was crucial, as the Destroyer’s strength was formidable, but its speed couldn’t match top starships.

“General Morris, why has only one warship appeared so far?” he questioned via link on the screen.

“They likely guessed it was a trap, so other warships don’t dare to reveal themselves easily, only deploying their strongest main ship, allowing them to withdraw swiftly if danger arises,” General Morris’ voice was heard.

“Is it possible the opponent has set up a trap against us as well?” the Church Elder coolly replied.

“Such a possibility cannot be excluded,” Morris replied. “However, this time we have estimated the opponent’s strength as much as possible, considering the Star Ring as well, and even the main fleet of the O’Brian Republic is being monitored by us. Time-wise, they wouldn’t make it, so even if they set a trap, it would be meaningless. As long as we pursue the opponent’s main ship, we can annihilate them, albeit with some cost.”

“Since General Morris is so confident, I look forward to seeing it,” the Church Elder replied.

“I’ll leave that Destroyer to you,” Morris said, estimating the Destroyer may also be onboard the main ship, yet to reveal themselves.

The space pursuit battle continued, as over time, Xu Mo and the team detected six fleets, including more than ten advanced warships.

With such a lineup, if it were earlier, it would definitely have the strength to take down their entire fleet.

Even now, with their entire fleet dispatched, the outcome remains uncertain.

The Church and Kales Empire, after estimating the strength of their fleet, deployed forces far exceeding expectations.

“It should be all the fleets now,” Gaia said quietly. “Unless some fleet couldn’t catch up.”

“Hmm.” Xu Mo nodded, as they had been pursuing in space for a long time, not ruling out the adversaries having fleets still en route.

“Shall we engage?” Xu Mo asked Gaia, as the enemy’s current displayed troops were already capable of threatening them, and if reinforcements arrive…
