Chapter 316 Playing the long game to catch the big fish
Dazzling white light burst out, filling every inch of space in the area, and surging psionic energy swept everywhere like a tsunami. Facing the most terrifying energy in the universe, the Raven-class Even if the battleship turns the shield power to the maximum, it can only resist for two or three seconds before being corroded into particles by the psionic tide, leaving not even a trace of metal debris.
The beast-class battleship is in slightly better condition. It is like a lone boat churning in a tsunami. Although it is okay for the time being, it is in danger of capsizing at any time.
Su Mo stood on the top of the Star, his black hair turned golden, and his roots stood upright, his eyes glowed with golden light, and the blazing holy light flames rose around him. He entered the second state of over-limit explosion. The strength of the whole body was pushed to the extreme, maximizing the intensity of [Holy Blessing Barrier].
The golden barrier of light formed a large-scale hexahedral barrier, including as many warships as possible. Facing the impact of psionic energy, the barrier performed very tenaciously, collapsing, bouncing, and collapsing. , bounce up, leaving time for the warships in the barrier to connect with each other and enter a matrix-type protection state.
As more and more cracks appeared on the barrier, at a certain moment, the barrier finally collapsed, and a tsunami of nether energy surged in, but its intensity was already several percent weaker than at the beginning. Facing the fleet's matrix shield system , can no longer make too many waves.
After a long time, the nether energy dissipated.
On the starry sky battlefield that was once a fierce battle, there are now only a few hundred lonely battleships left, and more than half of the battleships are near the Seiya.
All the frigates of Devil's Ark disappeared, not a single one was left, and only the Galen-class battleships and some Beast-class battleships were left of the coalition forces. The losses were quite heavy.
“Damn, it’s so dangerous!”
Su Mo stood at the top of the Star Arrow, his blond hair turned black again, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used [Holy Blessing Barrier] to resist the first wave of psionic energy. Otherwise, he would have Some battleships will definitely suffer heavy losses.
It's a pity...
Su Mo looked around and saw that the warships of the Holy Light Legion were responsible for outflanking the main force. Even if it is stretched to its maximum, it can only protect some of the nearby battleships.
Bang!
“Asshole!!!”
In the central command room, Chirag slapped the table. He looked at the sparse light spots on the combat system, and his whole heart was bleeding.
This time, the losses of the coalition forces were too great.
Not only the Magic Civilization, but also the battleships of the other four major civilizations and the three major consortiums have lost more than 60%. Only the battleships of the Holy Light Legion have been completely preserved.
As the initiator of this operation, Demonic Civilization’s plan was completely seen through by Demon Ark, causing the coalition forces to fall into a trap and suffer such losses.
He could fully imagine how furious the other allies would be and how they would hold him accountable.
As expected...
"Schilage!!!"
"Schilage, I'm CNM!!"
Many roars and curses rang out within the command system. Chirag had not heard those extremely unpleasant curse words for many years. His face turned blue and white, but he could only suffer in silence.
In the command room, the staff officers of Modong Civilization felt very uncomfortable when they saw their marshal being so insulted. However, they knew that this time it was indeed a major dereliction of duty by Modong Civilization.
Why did things become like this?
The staff officers lowered their heads, a look of deep regret flashing deep in their eyes.
Yes - contempt.
From top to bottom, Demonic Civilization did not take Devil’s Ark too seriously.
Although Devil's Ark is famous in the universe and appears everywhere, causing many cluster-level civilizations to suffer frequent setbacks, in the final analysis, it is still the image of a criminal organization in the minds of the outside world, but it is just good at hiding.
This group of generals and staff officers have been trained in the most brutal interstellar battlefields. They have battled wits and courage with famous generals and fought with powerful fleets, and have created a series of brilliant achievements.
As an active ace unit, who would take criminal gangs seriously?
However, it was this mentality that caused them to suffer a big loss.
Buzz~~
At this moment, a light screen popped up on the deputy general’s smart watch, and Vasily’s feminine face appeared again, with a contemptuous and arrogant smile on his lips. .
"Hahaha, friends of the magic civilization, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"
"Vasily!!"
The deputy general gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
Sirag stared at the screen. The spacecraft under Vasily's feet had been engulfed by the psionic bomb, and a black cover surrounded him, keeping him safe from the psionic tsunami.
“Remember, this is just a small lesson, if there is another time...”
Vasily made a gesture of cutting his throat and grinned:
"You will all die, hahaha!!!"
Such an arrogant approach made everyone look livid, and then, they He watched helplessly as a circular vortex appeared behind Vasily.
They know that this is the passage to the secondary dimension. Vasily, like Satan, is a believer of the dimension demon Doram. He can borrow Doram's power anytime and anywhere to travel through the secondary dimension.
Seeing that half of Vasily's body had entered the vortex and was about to fly away, everyone was shaking with anger and their eyes were about to burst.
However, at this moment, Vasily's body suddenly stiffened, as if frozen, stuck in the middle of the whirlpool.
What's going on?
This scene shocked everyone and they didn’t know what happened.
The next moment, a golden light crossed the starry sky, as fast as lightning, and came behind Vasily in an instant.
"That is...the commander of the Holy Light Army?"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the familiar figure on the screen.
Holy Light! ! !
A gleam of light suddenly burst out of Schilage's eyes. He leaned forward slightly and clenched his fists. If the Holy Light could keep him...
Pfft~~~
The long sword glowing with golden light slashed with lightning, and an arm flew high. A scream came from behind the space vortex, and a majestic force burst out, pushing Su Mo hundreds of meters away.
The vortex quickly shrank, and when it was about to disappear, three scarlet eyes full of hatred and violence stared at Su Mo, as if they wanted to carve that face into the depths of his soul.
Pa~~
The vortex disappeared, and a rotating arm circled in the air, and was then burned to ashes by a golden flame.
When everyone saw this scene, they felt their blood surge up, dissipating most of the depression and anger in their chests.
…………
"Silag!!!"
"Silag, are you all pigs from the magical civilization!"
"I****"
On the command ship of the Demonic Civilization, all natural disaster experts and military commanders from all forces were included, pointing at the faces of Chirag and others in the Demonic Civilization and shouting curses, spitting stars flying all over the sky.
Everyone was attracted by Mo Dong Civilization’s confident plan and joined in this operation. Who would have thought that Mo Dong Civilization’s plan had long been seen through by Demon Ark. Lead them into traps and use high-polymerized psionic energy bombs to give everyone a head-on blow.
The loss of battleships is one thing. However, all the forces present are wealthy owners, either galaxy-level civilizations or top consortiums. As long as the natural disaster experts and military generals are fine, the loss of hundreds of battleships and a group of elite soldiers will not be the same. It can't be called a traumatic injury.
However, the key to this matter is that a group of so-called famous generals and think tanks present were actually tricked by a criminal organization like Devil's Ark. If this spreads out, these people will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire star field, and even the entire universe.
Sirag was scolded and remained silent. It was not until everyone’s anger subsided slightly that he spoke:
“Everyone, this matter is indeed our fault. Modong Civilization has failed in its responsibility, and we will definitely compensate you for your losses.”
This sentence could not make the rest of the people's anger subside.
Do they lack some compensation?
What they fear is losing face, not only their personal face, but also the face of the civilization and consortium behind them.
“Also, this operation has always been top secret, and has not been disclosed to anyone except a few of our forces. The operation to encircle and suppress Demon Ark is not over yet, and we still have a chance, so I hope everyone will hold off for the time being. Don't publicize this matter to avoid alerting others," Schilage said seriously.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions softened a little. In fact, everyone knew that the operation was not over yet. It was all nonsense. The traitors were all dead. It would be impossible to catch the devil in the future. ark.
But Schilage's subtext is obvious. Since everyone feels embarrassed, they have made an internal agreement not to make it public and treat it as if it never happened.
“I agree!”
“I agree too!”
“Well, this matter is not over yet, and it really shouldn’t be made public.”
Many The representatives expressed their opinions one by one. At the end of the speech, everyone looked at a man in the corner with his arms folded and thinking quietly.
"Commander of the Holy Light Army, what do you think?"
Sirag asked politely.
Thanks to one person for this operation, they were not completely defeated.
This person is Su Mo.
With his own efforts, Su Mo protected the Holy Light Legion and dozens of allied warships around him. At the same time, he cut off one of Vasily's arms at the most critical moment, causing the other party to pay a certain price. .
The Holy Light Legion did not lose any troops, but made some achievements, which was the only highlight of this operation. However, because of this, Schilage was worried that the people of the Holy Light Legion might publicize this matter in the future and spread the matter. .
After all, mercenaries like to drink and brag the most.
For a while, everyone focused their attention on Su Mo, waiting slightly nervously for his reply.
“Ah, I’m sorry that I was distracted just now.”
Su Mo smiled apologetically, and then said seriously: “Everyone, I agree with everyone, the encirclement and suppression of Devil’s Ark is not over yet. It’s really not appropriate to alert the enemy, I will restrain my subordinates.”
Hearing Su Mo say this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Commander of the Holy Light Army, thanks to you this time~"
"Thank you to the Commander of the Holy Light Army for your help just now, allowing us to retain a few battleships."
< br>"It's a pity, if only the leader of the Holy Light Army could keep Vasily, we can also ask about the location of the Demon Ark."
"It would be good to keep one of Vasily's arms. Without the leader of the Holy Light Army, that guy wouldn’t know how arrogant he would be.”
Next, many forces briefly discussed the follow-up arrangements. In fact, there was nothing to discuss. Vasily ran away and the traitor died. It would be difficult to find the Devil's Ark. After a few words about the compensation issue of the Demonic Civilization, they Everyone goes back to their own homes, each looking for his own mother.
Coming in joy and returning in despair, this is a true portrayal in everyone's mind, except... Su Mo.
…………
Inside the Seiya
Hu Tao was sitting on the sofa, kicking her legs around and pouting her mouth very dissatisfied:
"It's boring, so boring."
After staying on the spaceship for more than half a month, I thought I could have a hearty battle. Who would have thought that in the end I didn't even touch the enemy, so I had to go back to the original route. Go back, if I had known this, I wouldn't have come out.
Angry!
Seeing Hu Tao's bulging face, Qian Liuyu couldn't help but smile. He was not too disappointed or dissatisfied with the failure of the mission. After all, there were no casualties in the Holy Light Legion. Compared with other forces, it was So much better.
At best, it's a pity that I couldn't avenge the members who died before.
"Captain, shall we return directly?"
Kurosawa Bei stood beside Su Mo and asked in a low voice.
“No, let’s just walk around nearby first.”
Su Mo waved his hand and said.
Just wander around?
Kurosawa Kita was stunned, what did the legion commander want to do?
Could it be that he was upset because of the two boss wives, so he just took this opportunity to relax.
Well, that must be the case.
Recalling Su Mo’s embarrassing situation recently, Kurosawa Bei thought he had guessed the truth. A smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he nodded:
“Yes, Captain, I will do it now. Go check it out and see if there are any interesting planets nearby.”
Kurosawa Bei stepped aside and searched for nearby planet information through his optical brain. After Su Mo saw his actions, he didn't say anything. At this moment, his attention was completely focused on the vague perception in his mind.
Just now, he used [Eye of God·Fixation] to keep Vasily behind. In fact, he had a chance to know the other person's life with one strike, but in fact, he just cut off an arm and did so. Naturally, he has a deeper intention.
He wants to play the long game and catch big fish.
Whether Vasily dies or not has no meaning to him. He has only one goal, and that is the real Demon Ark.
As the number two figure in Demon Ark, Vasily will definitely return to Demon Ark as soon as possible after hiding in the secondary dimension, and this is exactly what he wants to see.
The moment he swung the sword, he left a sacred mark on Vasily's body. With the mark, he could locate Vasily's location and find the Devil's Ark.
Now, the perception of the sacred mark is very weak, indicating that Vasily is still within the secondary dimension, but once he comes out and returns to the chaotic star field, he will definitely not be able to escape the perception of the sacred mark.
He did not tell anyone about this matter, especially not to the magic civilization and other allies just now. He also had some plans.
According to Su Mo's instructions, the Holy Light Legion fleet wandered in the Marshall Sector for two days, and stopped at a certain commercial star for half a day to give the legion members a half-day holiday.
On the fourth day, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes from practicing, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Appeared!
