The Seventh Base - Chapter 1363: 122: Capturing the King
Chapter 1363: Chapter 122: Capturing the King
The sudden outbreak of war caught the Kales Empire off guard. They thought they were the hunters, only to find themselves the prey. It was a well-prepared encirclement battle.
Skull Star possessed a large number of anti-air weapons, many of which were top-tier Star Annihilation Level.
The ground weapons were fixed to the surface, allowing better application of technology to the weapons. Their power often surpassed those aboard starships, but they had a clear disadvantage of being immobile, making them fixed targets.
For instance, in one area of Skull Star, a giant bomb similar to a star body was launched, carrying an incredibly terrifying amount of energy. It was a planet bomb weapon, capable of easily destroying an ordinary planet, let alone a starship.
There were also extremely powerful electromagnetic weapons and super vibration wave weapons, which fired at the Kales Empire Fleet in space at the first moment.
“Zzz…”
Within the main ship of the Kales Empire, electromagnetic signals faced strong interference. The opponent fired numerous electromagnetic weapons, and with the support of ground-based jamming devices, their fleet was fragmented, and signals were heavily challenged.
“Although the Imperial Fleet was ambushed, it still holds an absolute advantage. Maintain the formation, engage freely, don’t panic, and send out the message.” Roson Chris knew the fleet command faced a significant challenge, and now, it depended on the ability of each starship squadron’s commander.
“Yes,” the operator responded.
Sain Kales looked at the space battlefield. Although there were signs of chaos on the periphery, the empire’s fleet was enormous, and he believed it could hold its ground.
“What are those forces doing, a suicide attack?” Sain Kales stared at the small starships and drones swarming towards their fleet, attacking like mad waves, batch after batch.
However, many were intercepted and destroyed, and when destroyed, the starships and drones exploded violently, generating an energy storm that radiated out to their fleet.
“Each is equipped with Destroyer Level weapons. We can’t ignore them,” said Roson Chris, watching intently as the incoming starship swarms posed a threat that couldn’t be ignored, drawing significant firepower.
In space, catastrophic explosions occurred across many parts of the Kales Fleet as weapons breached the fleet’s internal areas.
“Continue closing in on Skull Star, fire Star Annihilation Weapons at the planet, and locate Xu Mo’s flagship,” Sain Kales said coldly.
The Kales Empire Fleet was the invading side, yet they were now on the defensive.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” A voice responded as the main weapon of the Kales Empire’s flagship, ‘Kales,’ harnessed the energy of a super terrifying storm, with a destructive blue arc taking form, as the Star Annihilation Weapon launched.
As the flagship fired the Star Annihilation Weapon, numerous starships in other directions simultaneously prepared their own Star Annihilation Level weapons, aiming at Skull Star.
Skull Star seemed to light up as the entire planet was illuminated by energy light. From within each crater, ground-based weapons emerged in full force, shooting countless beams of light into space, creating an extremely spectacular scene.
Inside Skull Star, many indigenous residents looked up through the openings, imprinting the magnificent space scene into their minds.
When did this chaotic region of a planet gain such combat power?
The citizens of Skull Star were unclear about when this transformation occurred.
On the space battlefield, chaos reigned.
The Kales Empire Fleet was besieged, but in fact, they still held a numerical advantage. They were caught off guard by the sudden assault, had communication obstructed, and were encircled, which led to their passive state.
However, destroying the Kales Empire Fleet was by no means an easy task.
This much, Xu Mo was fully aware of.
This war was essentially a battle of the weak against the strong.
The weakest Kales Empire Fleet was still stronger than their fleet. Of course, over the years, their own fleet had developed to a certain scale, incomparable to ten years ago.
So the opponent’s strength could be compensated for by other means.
And Xu Mo’s approach was simple and straightforward.
In space, one section of the Kales Empire Fleet had been blasted open, causing chaos, and the opposing fleet kept closing in and suppressing with continuous firepower.
On one of the Kales Empire starships, the commander looked pale, feeling like he was about to die in battle here.
“What’s that?”
Then, in a direction in space, beams of light appeared from different positions, rushing towards the Kales Empire Fleet at a terrifying speed, like light-speed.
“Transcendents!!” Their pupils contracted, for those were not weapons, but people.
Six beams of light represented six Transcendents, diving down like meteors, directly infiltrating the Kales Empire Fleet.
These six individuals were: Xu Mo, Zero, Master Qiong, Fernand, Aldoff, and Satter.
Satter, controlled by Xu Mo, the Church Elder, also appeared on this battlefield.
“Kill them.” The Commander’s face was grim as he let out a low growl, and the Starship immediately opened fire on those six Transcendents.
A beam of light suddenly veered off and rushed this way, avoiding the dense firepower attacks with terrifying speed, continuing its charge towards the Starship where he was located.
“Don’t let him get close.” The Commander shouted, clearly aware of the threat posed by a Destroyer Level presence; allowing a Destroyer to get near the Starship would spell disaster for it.
But it was no use. Despite the Starship’s incessant firing, the figure did not stop in the slightest. They watched helplessly as the figure grew closer and larger in their vision.
“Boom…” The Starship’s hull shattered, and the figure forcefully plunged into the Starship, piercing through its interior. The next moment, their own fleet’s firepower struck the Starship, causing an explosion. In the firelight, there were looks of despair as everyone was engulfed by the explosion’s energy wave.
After destroying a Starship, Xu Mo didn’t stop for a moment and continued diving down. In five other directions, the five Great Destroyers followed suit, continuing their assault into the enemy fleet from different angles. This way, the enemy fleet would be apprehensive and dare not fire too heavily for fear of hitting their own.
Moreover, if a significant number of Starships were to confront them, the outer fleet would struggle to withstand the fleet’s and surface weapons’ firepower attacks.
Powerful Destroyers could not single-handedly defy a fleet, but they could influence the battle, altering the course of war.
Xu Mo and his team chose the Kales Empire not just because its fleet was relatively weak; the combat power of the Kales Empire’s sovereign was likely weaker compared to Lin Qinghe and the others.
Therefore, Xu Mo and his team decided to capture the King.
In this regard, his thinking aligned with Lin Qinghe’s—a decapitation strategy to take down the Kales Empire sovereign, Sain Kales!
In space, a dense array of Energy Beams simultaneously shot toward Xu Mo, but Xu Mo maneuvered through the beams without even slowing down.
Boom, boom, boom… In space, one Starship after another exploded.
Inside the Kales Empire Fleet, chaos ensued as small Starships and Transcendent combat groups rushed toward Xu Mo and his team, aiming to overrun them.
As Xu Mo advanced, the Origin Helmet emitted a dazzling light, and the vastness of space, everything around, became vividly engraved in his mind.
The heads of the Transcendents charging at Xu Mo started to tremble violently. The next moment, they simultaneously turned direction and began attacking their own side.
Subsequently, the Starships were similarly invaded, and those Starships also launched weapons at the Kales Empire Warships.
In other areas, the other five Transcendents continued their descent, fully armed with specially crafted Battle Armor.
In the Kales’s main ship, Sain Kales and Roson Chris kept their eyes on the six advancing figures. Although there was still some distance, they were heading straight for the core. The deeper into the central area they went, the more wary the fleet became, fearing to unleash full firepower.
“Are they mocking me?”
Sain Kales spoke, his tone carrying a cold aura, causing everyone in the fleet command room to fall silent.
Clearly, Xu Mo and his team intended to capture the King.
Sain Kales, the reigning monarch of the Empire, even proclaimed himself Emperor, imitating that figure from the Silver Star Empire in the past.
But now, Xu Mo and his team dared to attempt the capture of the King?
Sain felt deeply humiliated.
“Let him come.” Sain Kales spoke, “Roson, coordinate with the fleet to intercept the others, I’ll go and kill him.”
“Your Majesty…” Roson Chris exclaimed as he heard Sain wanting to go out to fight. Sain glanced at him, exuding a sense of overwhelming presence, leaving Roson Chris unable to persuade him otherwise. He changed his tone and said, “Xu Mo, with the Origin Helmet, has formidable combat power. Majesty, if you are to kill him, you should be serious.”
“Understood.”
Sain Kales stepped outside, the hatch of the main ship Kales opened, and Sain’s body appeared outside in space, before moving forward.
When the Kales Empire’s Starships saw Sain appear, the members on the Starships displayed fervor, as the Emperor was going to personally take action.
As if in tacit understanding, the fleet intercepting Xu Mo made way, allowing Xu Mo to proceed unhindered.
Simultaneously, Sain Kales advanced through space, heading towards Xu Mo.
His imposing and majestic physique exuded an overwhelmingly domineering aura. Centered on his body, an enormous Energy Storm converged in the vastness of space, forming a terrifying pressure.
Xu Mo, of course, saw Sain Kales too. The Emperor of the Empire did not hide inside the Starship but came out to face him head-on, an act reflecting the pride of the Kales Empire Emperor, unwilling to allow Xu Mo to desecrate him.
All around, the intercepting fleet divided into two rows, resembling space guards. The Kales Empire Fleet’s core region was filled with an air of lethal intent.
Kill Xu Mo!
