Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1805 - 879: War Begins (Part 2)

Just then, the vanguard forces of the aliens snapped out of their stupor like waking from a nightmare, throwing themselves into utter turmoil right away.

Efforts to counter the horrifying barrage of shots blasting from ahead were thrown off by the visions from the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, along with the extra deceptions spawned later by the Illusory Spirit Concealing Umbrella, which scattered their ranks completely.

"Second wave! Clear out the rabble! Expand the results!"

Without pause, the top-tier armada pressed on, its vessel guns spinning like grim reaper's blades, swiftly reaping the foreign fighters deprived of Mythical Units' shield and thrown into panic.

Throughout this, the defensive armada of Human Emperor City stayed put inside the walls to help out, since nobody could tell if extra watchers lurked in the endless Chaos Void outside. Even though every scanning technique the race possessed showed nothing unusual, the Torch Civilization refused to take the risk, lacking the means to afford it anyway.

Because a loss in that bet would mean total ruin for the Torch Civilization from then on.

For that ambush beyond the walls, besides the Mythical Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, the rest consisted of vessel avatar projections rebuilt from vessel avatar parts, maximizing room for mistakes.

Still, even though just the ambush squad was fighting, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship’s vessel avatar by itself holding off the leftover Mythical Void Armor-breaking Beast turned the clash into a total rout.

In the end, with a few dim, unknown mythical presences starting to rise from the emptiness at their backs, the ambush armada abandoned heaps of alien debris and pulled back securely to Human Emperor City.

Surveying the field of battle, besides the remains of hundreds of thousands of alien vanguard parts, lay the bodies of those two fully slain Void Armor-breaking Beasts; the ambush armada claimed them, since to the Torch Civilization, the bodies of Mythical Creatures counted as vital strategic assets, scarce from start to finish.

The sole surviving Void Armor-breaking Beast unleashed a roar of dread before fleeing wildly backward alongside the scraps of its broken forces.

Evidently, this carefully orchestrated ambush yielded a stunning success way past what anyone anticipated!

A few days on, once word hit the pushing main body of the Five Races United Army trailing behind, it sparked massive uproar.

Nearly the whole vanguard got erased, two Tenth Rank mythical forces dropped, leaving the Five Races' leaders stunned and furious, compelled to reevaluate the guarding strength and resolve of Human Emperor City.

Their earlier advance, once bold and firm, now had to slow to a careful pace, as scouting and testing moves grew common, unavoidably pushing back the big push for total attack.

In turn, Human Emperor City gained vital extra delay time for both itself and the entire Torch Civilization.

From the ramparts, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and the rest stared at the dark haze pulling back for now in the far sky, but joy barely showed on their expressions.

They understood this was merely a short win; the real challenge waited further on.

Without thinking, everyone's eyes shifted to the distant horizon's edges, where the huge mass of the Five Races United Army crept steadily closer to Human Emperor City, out of sight.

Right now, time was their greatest need.

Be it fresh High Rank fighters rising in the Torch Domain or the advances of Song Chi and Ying Yi, everything hinged on time, serving as the ultimate swing between triumph and loss.

In the secure magnetic pulse chat set up by two Mythical Immortal Ships, the mood stayed heavy.

"Their main force will be here at most within a thousand years."

With a grave tone, Ji Heng spoke, picking up a handful of strange mythical presences from the distance, including two at Eleventh Rank even.

"Next time, there won’t be any opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack."

"A thousand years..." Wilson Aclemon whispered. "Plus the minimum of a thousand years we can withstand under a full-scale siege, that’s two thousand years. Hopefully, that’s enough."

His mind, just like Jiang Yuan's, Ji Heng's, and the others', raced together to the Torch Domain, to the stellar landmass gradually shifting into the Immortal Qin Continent.

...

In the Chaos Divine Land, a thousand years passes like a blink.

Using this vital pause, Human Emperor City had fortified itself completely.

Along the walls, endless dark energy gun mounts, glowing with menace, got freshly mounted; the Chaos Energy Shield wove denser with the Civilization Great Wall's glow barriers, power flowing without end, nearly solid to the touch; inside the city, every ready force stood positioned, the atmosphere thick with the choking weight of looming massive conflict.

However, as that vast crimson foul presence at last swept over the Starry Sea like a surging wave, inching past the Chaos Horizon into plain sight, it unleashed inexpressible dread and hopelessness.

Not the earlier hundreds of thousands as scouts, but millions upon tens of millions of alien combatants!

Their arrayed troops extended forever, evil clouds from the massed foulness eclipsing heaven and earth, the sheer size making the whole chaotic emptiness feel like a hell of blood.

Avoid likening it to the prior joint strike of demonic apes and Netherworld Souls from various races on Human Emperor City with millions in numbers; that old force of millions in the united mythical host looks weak now. Yet keep in mind, in this present united mythical host exceeding ten million, even the lowliest is a Seventh Rank Dominator, so the million-strong full Dominator setup dwarfs what came before.

Leading that frightful array loomed over twenty savage colossal creatures, each differently shaped yet all towering like peaks!

In their midst stood the Void Armor-breaking Beast from before, badly wounded earlier, now apparently healed and fiercer than ever.

Hovering still over these Tenth Rank Mythical Giant Beasts floated four shapes. They released no deliberate pressure, but acted as the Chaos Void's core. Just their being there quieted nearby Chaos Storms, warping reality around them.

Eleventh Rank Myths! Four in total!

The core of the Five Races Alliance Army had at last shown up.

"Finally... they’ve come!"

On the Shenxia Jiuli Ship's command deck, Jiang Yuan positioned himself, eyes cutting through stacked voids to lock on those four Eleventh Rank Myths, tone hard like steel.

Nothing in the way of talks, no exchanges.

The instant the endless troop array locked in place, the middle Eleventh Rank myth—a form wrapped in warped darkness, like built from myriad broken tormented spirits—gently lifted its "arm."

Then, it slashed it downward abruptly!

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like the cosmos' first blast! Innumerable Alien Race troops bellowed together, cracking the void, while the Blood Evil Battle Formation swelled into a deluge of ruin, barreling at Human Emperor City!

Over twenty Tenth Rank Mythical Giant Beasts lunged ahead at once, every stride breaking the void, power strong enough to smash celestial bodies.

Even unmoving so far, those four Eleventh Rank Myths weighed like anchors, bearing down fiercely on the psyche of each guardian leader.

"Civilization Great Wall! Activate!!"

Ji Heng's bellow rang across the city, boosted by Mythical Dark Energy.

Buzz——!!!

Unmatched splendor burst from the Civilization Great Wall. Myriad ghostly laws appeared and intoned on the barrier, as a shield robust like a star fortress abruptly surged up, covering the Chaos Energy Shield's exterior!

Right after, the deluge of ruin slammed hard into the glow barrier.

That split second, silence gripped the world.

A beyond-words fearsome blast wave raced outward wildly, smashing all Chaos Storms, stones, and even minor Chaos Mountain Chains in its path.

The glow barrier warped and shook hard, creaking from crushing strain, but in the end, it held against this opening salvo of the harshest onslaught.

"All units! Open fire freely! Target, the enemy’s vanguard!!"

Like a chill stream, Jiang Yuan's order roused the guards stunned by the doomsday sight.

"For civilization!!"

"Kill!!!"

All the fury and war fervor built up across ages exploded fully now.

Human Emperor City morphed into a giant spiked beast, hurling deadly fire.

Billions of Torch Warship Main Cannons unleashed together, briefly lighting the timeless dull Chaos Sky Dome, their glare briefly outshining the Mythical Stars.

Endless rays of power, hard projectiles, and law-guided warheads rained down like a storm, crashing onto the broad, boundless Alien Race troop array.

Each moment, scores to hundreds of Alien Race Dominator War Soldiers vaporized, ripped to shreds, reduced to Chaos Debris.

Yet the foes numbered too vast, almost boundless. Front liners dropped, but rear ones trampled over fallen allies to keep surging.

Furthermore, those Tenth Rank Mythical Giant Beasts endured the intense barrage, frenziedly battering the Civilization Great Wall’s glow barrier. Every swipe and impact made the barrier flare wildly, waves rippling out fiercely.

From the outset, the fight dove into its rawest, gore-drenched stage of grinding wear.
