Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1804 - 879: The Battle Begins
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
Aside from Song Chi and Ying Yi, who head back to the Torch Domain for extensive preparations ahead of their rise to the myth rank.
Right now, Human Emperor City in the Chaos Divine Land endures an unmatched level of strain.
The front lines of the Five Races United Army have arrived right at the city's gates. The Blood Evil Battle Formation, formed by millions of foreign battle troops, looms like surging crimson clouds, weighing down intensely on the spirits of every Torch Fleet defender in the city.
Three massive Void Armor-breaking Beasts, each as large as a minor Floating Land, advance like colossal peaks. Every lash of their paws rips open enormous cracks across the Divine Land's terrain. Even from a fair distance away from Human Emperor City, their thunderous bellows echo fiercely against the Chaos City Shield and the Civilization Great Wall’s Guardian Light Screen, sending waves rippling out with a disturbing buzz.
Upon the walls, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Wilson Aclemon, and the other key figures of the Torch Civilization appeared solemn but resolute.
They understood that passive defense alone wouldn't hold out. An offensive push was essential to shatter the foes' drive and secure additional breathing room.
"We can't delay anymore," Jiang Yuan's piercing gaze swept over the far-off crimson army array, "We need to hit them with a surprise assault and inflict a massive strike right away!"
"I concur," Ji Heng gave a nod, his gaze sparking with cold intensity, "While the front force under the three Void Armor-breaking Beasts doesn't pose a real danger to Human Emperor City, eliminating them early can seriously shake the primary enemy troops following behind."
In short order, a bold ambush strategy took shape among the leaders.
The strategy relied on two vital elements.
The initial one involved aid from the Holy Hall Federation’s Immortal powerhouse, the "Klein Family"—a rare Seven-Colored Quality hiding device known as the Illusory Spirit Concealing Umbrella.
The other came from the natural illusion ability, a divine technique of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox that had just reached the mythical rank, belonging to the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce!
"The Illusory Spirit Concealing Umbrella will mask the fleet's motions and power signatures, whereas the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox’s illusion can warp senses, even forging deceptions that look utterly real. Together, they could fool the opponents entirely!"
Wilson Aclemon broke it down, his eyes shining brightly.
Once the strategy was locked in, they sprang into motion without hesitation.
The top-tier quick-strike fleet of Human Emperor City got selected, under Jiang Yuan's direct leadership. Though not vast in size, it consisted solely of High Rank Torch Warships, particularly adept at sudden strikes and explosive maneuvers.
Buzz!
Silently, the Illusory Spirit Concealing Umbrella activated within the city, its Seven-Colored radiance shifting into a misty barrier that wrapped around the whole elite squadron.
Concurrently, a huge ethereal figure of a heavenly fox, pure white with nine tails gracefully waving in its wake, materialized above the city. Its fox-like eyes glowed with a hypnotic sparkle, and an unseen illusory energy wave spread like gentle ripples, merging seamlessly with the Illusory Spirit Concealing Umbrella’s power to flawlessly hide the fleet's existence while projecting a misleading scene of a fortified guard position on Human Emperor City's walls to deceive the invading forces.
Sure enough, the enemy front lines' focus was drawn in, showing no hint of doubt.
"It's time—advance!"
Under Jiang Yuan's order, the flawlessly veiled elite fleet slipped out like shadows in darkness, quietly sliding from the southern wall past Human Emperor City, curving wide along the Chaos Storm's border, aiming directly at the enemy front's rear— the spot where the three Void Armor-breaking Beasts clustered!
The squadron raced forward at blinding speed, producing no power traces, slipping past the turbulent Blood Evil Battle Formation undetected until they closed in on their marks.
"Target locked! Full power output! Fire!"
As Jiang Yuan's chilling directive reached the whole assault group via secure links, the Torch Warships concealed in the depths of space all at once focused dazzling white lumens at their forward sections.
When the charge peaked, innumerable gun barrels unleashed devastating energy blasts in unison.
BOOM——!!!
In that instant, it seemed the Star River flipped upside down, with countless guns thundering in fury!
The glowing energy floods, void-rending rays, contaminant projectiles laced with Rule Runes... Every bit of this onslaught landed without waste, slamming straight into the crimson Battle Formation underneath, zeroing in especially on the three legendary Void Armor-breaking Beasts—the prime aims for the Shenxia Jiuli Ship and every Superdimensional Mother Ship in the group.
The pair of Void Armor-breaking Beasts focused forward had their weaker rear and flank joints open to the Torch assault team's firing zone.
At the same instant, Ji Heng, positioned remotely back in Human Emperor City, unleashed her pre-set distant backup barrages. Multiple advanced armaments carrying the civilization's legacy fired off, luminous lances streaking through the heavens to sync with the fleet's opening volley. Above, the blazing barrage from billions of Intermediate Rank Torch Warships on Human Emperor City poured out completely, forging an inescapable lethal peril for the invading front's Blood Evil Battle Formation.
ROAR!!!!
The pained howl echoed across the starry expanse!
The two aimed Void Armor-breaking Beasts failed to respond fast enough; their plating, tough enough to withstand stellar impacts, got ripped apart, liquefied, and punctured under the intense near-point barrage!
Their dark-green blood and broken innards burst forth like a downpour, caught in the ceaseless Chaos Storm, immediately staining a huge swath of chaotic emptiness in green.
In a single assault wave, these two Tenth Rank mythical colossal creatures took heavy wounds, their life force draining away swiftly.
