The Seventh Base - Chapter 1264 - Capítulo 1264: 23: Convergence

Capítulo 1264: Chapter 23: Convergence

Morris’ eyes were icy as he looked at the fleet whose signals had completely disappeared, feeling a chill in his heart.

Now, all he could do was kill all the members of the opposing fleet, capture Xu Mo and Gaia, and destroy the opponent’s base star, only then could he vent the rage in his heart.

This wasn’t the first time the Kales Empire had stumbled at their hands.

Just as Morris was still in anger, he saw that all the major fleets were gradually entering this star domain and preparing to move forward together.

Even though this was the opponent’s territory, it was impossible to monitor the entire star domain, the space in the cosmos was too vast.

“Yet another starship signal is continuously disappearing.” Personnel in front of the fleet screen said, the fleet suddenly became particularly silent.

“Retrieve the footage immediately…” Morris’ heart twitched, the battle over there should have just erupted, right?

It wasn’t possible for two fleets that were somewhat apart to happen so quickly, suddenly he felt a sense of unease.

“The signal disappearance is still ongoing; it’s Ramos’ fleet they are leading…”

Ramos’ main ship was pursuing the Base Starship alongside them, but the fleet had been left behind because they were not in sync, thus allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity.

“They’re calling for help.”

“The footage has been transmitted…”

Morris stared ahead, seeing another area. There, one starship after another appeared in view, this fleet was organized, like one single unit of power, even the starships seemed to have been manufactured in the same batch.

Moreover, this fleet was also an enormous one.

In space, they saw another terrifying giant beast, this space giant beast was of the same species as the previous three giants.

However, when it spewed a beam of destruction from its mouth, Morris knew, though it was the same species, this space giant beast was far stronger than those earlier, a starship’s defensive shield could not withstand even for a moment before it was pierced through.

“Mr. Satter, though I respect your opinion and have always honored the cooperation with the Church, sparing no effort to find Gaia and the others, now, I must be responsible for the members of the Kales Empire Fleet.” Morris said: “All starships stop pursuing, return, and consolidate with the main fleet to annihilate the opponent.”

After speaking, his main ship directly turned back, facing a Destroyer Level Church Elder, he wasn’t discussing, he was informing.

The reason he agreed to pursue the Base Starship earlier was because he believed the opponent only had a strong fleet, even if ambushed by their power, as long as the other fleets could unite, there would be no major issue.

But upon seeing this other powerful fleet, Morris knew, if he continued with the original action, the Kales Empire Fleet would suffer unbearable losses.

They might even be completely devoured by the opponent.

The significance of one fleet and two fleets is entirely different, dividing forces would annihilate both of their fleets simultaneously, once united and locating their fleet, they would face complete annihilation…

And afterwards, the opponent could come back and deal with their main ship.

Because pursuing one starship, the main ship was constrained and led to the opponent’s stronghold, where it was ambushed.

All this because they were too confident in their own strength, or perhaps, it was a mistaken estimation of Xu Mo and Gaia’s controlled power.

They had maximized the estimation of the opponent’s fleet power, but didn’t expect they were still wrong, and the gap with the estimate was quite large.

However, knowing they were wrong, remedying it might still be possible.

Their main battleships, together with the remaining fleet, still held power not inferior to the opponent, a battle was possible.

“Damn it…”

In the Church starship, Satter’s eyes carried a trace of coldness, he hadn’t expected Morris to decisively decide to return aid, abandoning the continued pursuit of Xu Mo, rendering previous efforts in vain.

“Mr. Satter.” The command room control personnel looked at Satter.

“Follow them.” Satter said coldly, at this point, there were no other options.

They could choose to keep chasing the Base Starship with Xu Mo, but the risk was too great.

This clearly was the opponent’s territory, with numerous detectors and signal blocking devices.

Continuing the pursuit, he couldn’t ascertain what power awaited them, just as they couldn’t understand why the opponent controlled such a formidable fleet, Satter didn’t want to take risks.

Even being of Destroyer Level status, in a space battle of this magnitude, caution was still necessary.

Sacrificing others was preferable, sacrificing members of the Kales Empire he didn’t care for, but risk himself? Sorry, in Satter’s eyes, Xu Mo and Gaia were not as significant as himself.

He was a person just below one in the Church.

With such power and status, how could he afford to take risks?

Therefore, over a dozen advanced battleships simultaneously returned, following Morris’ starship, and summoned the remaining fleets that could be notified to prepare for consolidation.

Only in this way can we avoid being defeated one by one, ultimately leading to total annihilation.

“They’ve retreated.” The operator in the Base Starship spoke.

Xu Mo and Gaia naturally saw it too; the screens before them clearly displayed two battles breaking out, where the main ship of the Kales Empire was invisible, yet they could keep track of the battle in real-time.

This was part of their battle strategy.

Skull Star is their base here, akin to one of their strongholds, and they’ve made considerable arrangements in the Skull Star Domain over the years.

Detectors and signal shielding devices are scattered around the Skull Star Domain, allowing constant monitoring of the activities within, watching for any fleet intrusion.

This was originally devised for self-protection.

Now, it’s working.

Moreover, they have an absolute geographical advantage in the Skull Star Domain, enabling them to target and eliminate enemies one by one.

Xu Mo chose not to spread the forces too thinly to concentrate fleet power and destroy the opponent’s two fleets first, minimizing their losses.

“Let’s go and regroup too,” Xu Mo said.

“Continue long-range reconnaissance as we move forward, be cautious of a potential reverse ambush,” Gaia said, very carefully. Although Zero wasn’t on the main ship but Xu Mo.

But now in Gaia’s eyes, there wasn’t much difference between the two, they’re all one family.

Xu Mo agreed with Gaia’s suggestion; caution comes first. While returning, they kept a close watch on the battlefield situation.

This time, they split into two major fleets, the front fleet being one.

The fleet brought over from Byron Star forming the other.

The front fleet carried three Nidhoggs, and the rear fleet was escorting the Nidhogg ‘King.’

The goal was to concentrate power to destroy part of the enemy fleet swiftly, thereby reducing pressure regardless of future situations.

In the screen battlefield, two scenes of intense battles erupted simultaneously, yet the situation was overwhelmingly one-sided, just as Xu Mo and his team anticipated, their fleet encircled the enemy fleet and began a blitz of bombardment.

With absolute advantage, it was a crushing situation.

Rapidly, dozens of starships from the Kales Empire’s two fleets were destroyed.

The remaining starships started scattering in various directions like headless flies, hoping to break through to join the main force and eliminate the enemy, staying here would only lead to a dead-end, a meaningless dead end.

Even though the fleet fired intensely, directly destroying most of the starships attempting to flee, due to the vast breakout perimeter, some stragglers managed to escape.

However, this wouldn’t affect the overall battlefield situation; even if they escaped, it’s no big deal.

Xu Mo’s team also knew that with many warships, they couldn’t sweep it clean directly. News of this battle would certainly spread, and their power would become known throughout the Universe.

But that’s a matter for the future; the present is more important.

For now, he aimed to annihilate the enemy fleet. This time, he didn’t even demand their surrender, only destruction.

The battle continued to rage, and soon, under the absolute crushing advantage, the opponent’s two fleets nearly suffered annihilation; regardless of the advanced starships or fleet numbers, under absolute advantage, the Kales Empire Fleet couldn’t withstand for long.

“Fleet regroup, continue searching for fleets entering the Skull Star Domain, destroy them once found, but retreat to avoid direct combat if encountering the enemy’s main fleet,” Xu Mo’s voice instructed. They could keep wearing down the opponent.

Until the showdown with the opponent.

Now, it depends on how far the strategy can be executed.

Time passed slowly; the Kales Empire Fleet regrouped after a baptism of blood and iron. With the arrival of the last fleet, the grand Kales Empire Fleet took shape, like a formidable ruler.

Just not long ago, they suffered heavy losses.

On the Kales Empire Command Ship, Morris stared ahead, unusually cautious, feeling that the opponent’s fleet could appear and attack at any moment.

“We seem to be lost,” an operator said, although their fleet was regrouped, they seemed lost within the Skull Star Domain, even after starship fire clearing, those giant stones felt endless.

“Lost?” Morris’s face darkened; could they really get lost in space?

“Then sweep all the way through,” he replied coldly.

After regrouping, at another star domain, the returning Base Starship also joined its fleets, along with forces from Skull Star, their fleet was mobilized in perfect formation for the first time.

This battle is critically important for the Skull Star Domain.
