The Seventh Base - Chapter 1263 - Capítulo 1263: 22: Ambush

Capítulo 1263: Chapter 22: Ambush

Base Starship, Command Room.

Xu Mo stood in front of the screen and said, “Attention all fleets, from the time our fleet was established until now, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. The Kales Empire and the Church have jointly dispatched six fleets, with more than ten advanced starships and over six hundred warships. Such a number of fleets already exceeds our total number of starships, and this is just the number of known fleets. Whether the opponent has additional forces is unknown.”

“We could have avoided the battle, but avoiding this war would destroy what we have built over many years, making it even harder to rebuild, and the opponent could strike again.”

“Therefore, this battle is unavoidable. I have decided that all fleets will head to the Skull Star Domain to engage in combat. Utilizing our familiarity with that area, although it poses a significant risk for the future, we are on the brink now, and without the present, there is no future to consider.”

“In this battle, many starships will be destroyed, and many brothers and friends will die. Life and death come only once, and I cannot comfort or promise anything. If you die in battle, the Base will carry your shared beliefs forward, until either destruction or the creation of a new civilization.”

In Xu Mo’s calm voice, there was a sense of solemnity as he said, “For the Base.”

In the fleet, most were commanders trained on Byron Star. Hearing Xu Mo’s calm voice, they still felt their hearts stirring, silently saluting, for the Base.

They did not have such grand dreams. Xu Mo had brought glory to Byron Star, washing away past humiliations. They hoped to accompany their idol and predecessor to witness a better future and conquer the universe together.

Byron Star was also marching towards a new history.

This was the dream of many, their driving force forward.

They set out from Byron Star, heading into this starry sky, already carrying the determination of no return.

The warriors of the Star River were prepared to bury their bones in the sky.

“All fleets, head to the Skull Star Domain for ambush, follow commands, and prepare for battle,” Xu Mo loudly commanded, and immediately, all the starships in different parts of space moved in the same direction.

Meanwhile, on Skull Star, all battle-ready starships and armed forces set off.

This battle would determine their fate; only victory was allowed, not failure.

The Base’s speed erupted to the limit, traversing space, with major fleets tightly locking onto the Base, the main ship at the front, the fleets trailing behind, and the formation stretched apart.

Skull Star Domain.

A strong light suddenly appeared, and the Base seemed to emerge out of nowhere, heading into the Skull Star Domain.

In the rear, beams of strong light appeared one after another, with many warships in pursuit, though the main ships arrived first, and a dozen or so advanced warships gradually appeared, keeping a close watch on the Base.

In the Base Command Room, Xu Mo said, “We have now entered the outskirts of the Skull Star Domain, everyone prepare for battle, let the opponent’s main ships enter first, and then completely intercept the trailing enemy fleets, ensure to eliminate a wave of their forces with the fastest speed.”

Due to differences in fleet level, there were disparities in speed, so the opponent’s main ships were closely following the Base, but the rest of the starships couldn’t keep up and were left at a considerable distance.

Prin Star was not very far from the Skull Star Domain. This action might lead the opponent to suspect that the Black Dragon Star Domain is their base, but at this moment, they had no choice; this battle was inevitable.

“It’s up to you,” Xu Mo’s voice carried a heavy tone. The Base had already been significantly worn down, and although it possessed superior defenses, they had been locked and hit numerous times along the way, with more than half of the Shield consumed.

If they continued to wear down like this, the Base would be exhausted to death.

However, they had successfully stalled and lured the opponents into the Skull Star Domain, where they had the geographical advantage.

“What is this place?” On a main ship of the Kales Empire, Morris asked.

After entering the Skull Star Domain, he felt that this star domain seemed somewhat peculiar. Huge floating rocks were everywhere, resembling planets, and some even collided to form large patches of cosmic dust.

In this star domain, the speed of starships was affected.

“The data shows this is the Skull Star Domain, a peculiar area of the O’Brian Republic, reportedly occupied by interstellar thieves. However, because it’s quite remote, the threat is limited, and the Republic has not used force to eradicate it.”

The operator said, “The opponent’s starships seem to be very familiar with this star domain.”

“We might have found their lair.” The cold, icy glint shone in Morris’s eyes. They had long suspected that Xu Mo and Gaia had a base, and they had always wanted to find this place.

But the universe was too vast, and searching for a place was far from easy.

Yet now, Morris felt he had found it.

Skull Star Domain!

The base should be in this star domain, a natural hideout that could also be disguised as a thieves’ den.

In the battle of Chloe Star back then, the opposing party engaged in disgraceful actions.

“General Morris,” a voice came through at this moment from an elder of the Church, who spoke, “This is the Skull Star Domain, a peculiar place in the republic, possibly where the enemy’s base is located.”

“I think so too,” Morris responded.

“The enemy fleet hasn’t appeared; now they’ve retreated to the base. Be careful of it being a baiting tactic,” the voice continued.

“I’ll remind all fleets now,” Morris nodded, preparing to alert all fleet members when a voice came through: “General, signals from starships are disappearing, and spreading.”

Morris’s pupils contracted, knowing their assumptions were correct; they had entered the enemy’s nest, where Gaia and the Star Ring fleet awaited them.

At this moment, signals began to be cut off.

“There is signal interference,” the operator continued, “This star domain contains multiple signal jammers.”

“Destroy them,” Morris said grimly, “All fleet members take note, we might be ambushed by the enemy fleet; proceed with caution.”

Then he spoke separately on the Church starship channel: “The fleet’s main ship needs to stop advancing, turn around and regroup with the main force.”

“General Morris, Gaia and Xu Mo are on that starship; that’s the enemy’s main ship. Even if it’s a baiting tactic, since we’ve reached this point, there’s no turning back. Taking that starship will end everything,” the Church elder said, making Morris’s expression slightly somber.

The core team of the fleet belongs to their Kales Empire, the Church doesn’t mind sacrificing; they only pursue the result, capturing Xu Mo and Gaia is the result they want.

“General Morris, sacrifice is inevitable,” the voice continued, with a red-clothed archbishop behind Morris speaking: “General Morris, if you miss this chance, there might not be another; go all out and intercept the enemy.”

Morris hesitated; having found the enemy’s nest, adopting a cautious strategy is also viable, but the Church obviously doesn’t want to give up.

“General, enemy fleet spotted, we’re ambushed,” a slightly sharper voice came through, making General Morris’s face increasingly grim, he ordered: “All fleet pursue the main fleet group, regroup as much as possible, and avoid battle.”

“Main fleet speed up, firepower launch, intercept the enemy’s main ship.”

Now, it seems there’s no retreat; they can only intercept the enemy’s main ship, forcing them to cease their ambush.

“General, the disappearing starship signals continue,” someone beside him said, Morris replied: “Send the ambush fleet information.”

He wanted to know the current level of their enemy’s power.

In a region of the Skull Star Domain, a fleet of over a hundred warships was ambushed, their signals jammed while a round of terrifying attacks fell, directly destroying several starships.

“Request reinforcements…” in a warship’s command room, they continuously sent distress signals, and overhead, fleets arrived together en masse, they counted over three hundred ships, among which five or six were advanced battleships.

“What is that?”

They looked towards a place, there appeared three giant creatures.

They were monsters, yet their size rivaled starships.

As they were stunned, the three Star Sky Giant Beasts simultaneously emitted beams of destruction towards a warship.

“Boom…”

That starship’s protective shield was destroyed by the horrifying beam, directly pierced, and instantly the starship exploded in the air, turning into a brilliant fire.

Over three hundred warships surrounded them and then began to fire.

“Magic Shot Attack,” in a warship command room, the Commander shouted frantically, a look of despair in his eyes, knowing full well their fleet wouldn’t be a match for the enemy; this would be a total annihilation.

Countless rays of destruction engulfed this star domain, starships exploded in space, some desperately fleeing, trying to retreat from this area, but they were locked on by advanced starships, and one advanced starship seemed to be the one that had once hijacked them.

In the Kales Empire’s main ship, Morris watched signals disappearing one by one, until a fleet’s signals completely vanished, his face darkened to the extreme, his angry expression as if ready to devour, the command room was dead silent.

They received an image transmitted from a disappearing starship signal, in that image a fleet of over three hundred warships appeared in the air, matching their predictions roughly, the enemy concentrated all their power to ambush one of their fleets.

Additionally, in that image, there were three terrifying Star Sky Giant Beasts, what the hell are these beasts?

“Other fleets continue advancing towards the main ship,” General Morris gritted his teeth and said, “The enemy’s main fleet launched an all-out ambush against one of our fleets; that fleet is finished.”

However, the other fleets should be safe.
