Chapter 1984 - 1571: Imminent Crisis (Part 1)
A few minutes later, Su Mo piloted the Mad Eye Rhenhok out of the Immortal Blade, floating in the starry sky.
At this time, Qian Chengxue, Kendi, Sun Duoxiang, Chen Shan, Xiao Wen, and others all piloted their mechas and flew beside Su Mo, forming a net-like formation, each one on high alert.
Looking into the distant starry sky with the naked eye, countless Spirit Touchers could already be seen attacking, though the density was not overly exaggerated.
"Everyone, stay alert, don’t be complacent!"
Su Mo solemnly reminded.
"Yes!"
Sun Duoxiang and the others responded one after another.
After Su Mo’s instructions, he glanced towards Earth Star in the distance. In fact, he wasn’t too worried about the defense of the Heart of Forbidden Prison. Although his side didn’t have a lot of troops, there was a Divine Guard Mecha squadron present. Unless it was a special situation, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. He was more concerned about Earth Star.
At this moment, the Immortal Blade and many starships opened launch ports in rows, all ready for action.
As time passed, everyone wore a heavy expression.
"Fire!"
Accompanied by Tilo’s command!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Missiles rained down, followed by dazzling fireworks, swallowing spirit touchers in bursts, yet many managed to break through the firepower net and encircle them.
At this time, Tilo rapidly marked all the escaped monsters and synchronized the targets to each subordinate squad of the divisions; everyone received their assigned target to eliminate.
A combat coordination directive popped up in front of Su Mo’s eyes.
"Target 1, eliminate Code L01·V-type Lord Level Spirit Toucher."
"Target 2, destroy Code S01·Small Coral Fortress."
...
Su Mo instantly locked onto the V-type Lord Level Spirit Toucher, and the whole Thunder God’s Spear flashed dazzling thunder light, then he manipulated the Mad Eye Rhenhok to transform into a dazzling beam of light charging forward. At the moment of nearing, he pierced through with a single shot.
The target hadn’t reacted before the Stance Barrier was penetrated, and the Thunder God’s Spear tore through the Stance Outerwear, plunging deep into its body.
Violent lightning rampaged inside it, violently damaging its internal neural lines.
Accompanied by a special wailing sound, the V-type Lord Level Spirit Toucher perished on the spot.
Around him, Qian Chengxue and others also swiftly finished off their targets, forming an impenetrable defensive line.
However, it wasn’t so easy over on Earth Star.
An overwhelming number of Eternal Sleep Clan troops clashed against the Federation’s defensive fleet.
Led by the Star Destroyer·Phantom Flower, the fleet frantically unleashed all sorts of barrages, and the vast number of mobile units continuously intercepted any stragglers.
The battle was extremely intense, with Tia’s fervent voice echoing on the public channel.
"I don’t care what means or methods you use, you absolutely cannot let the enemy break through our defensive line. Behind us is our Mother Star, our dearest kin."
"Yes!"
Numerous NCOs roared in response.
At this moment, everyone temporarily cast aside their distractions, stopped thinking about Negative Energy Pollution, and stopped dwelling on Icaroya’s words.
All they had was the determination to fight with all their strength!
In the Star Destroyer·Phantom Flower Command Room, Tia pressed her hands on the control platform and lifted her head to watch the waves of incoming enemies.
Her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, her expression tense to the extreme.
"Lady Tia, haven’t we withstood the assault?"
Jiang Hanqiu had never seen Lady Tia so nervous and unsettled and couldn’t help but speak.
Tia took a deep breath and then said in a low voice: "This is just the beginning, and given the intensity of the assault, how long do you think we can hold out and ensure no loose enemies break into Earth Star?"
Jiang Hanqiu’s body trembled slightly, unable to speak for a while.
"Order all Earth Star’s planetary defense weapons to be deployed, constantly ready to counter any breaches."
Tia exhaled deeply and issued the order to Jiang Hanqiu.
"Yes!"
Jiang Hanqiu nodded in reply.
At this moment, on the surface of Earth Star, seed-like satellites unfolded as if blooming flowers, deploying rows of defense Sentinels.
The scene was quite spectacular.
Meanwhile, both Galmotos and the Yamak Free Country faced strong assaults.
However, there was one exception: the Immortal Empire.
All Eternal Sleep Clan troops directly bypassed the main star of the Immortal Empire without launching any attacks.
This scene appeared out of place.
In the Immortal City·Underground Palace.
Emperor Kilmock sat on the throne, with Prince Kyarat, Krisia, Buseray, Reoter, and core members of the Immortal Empire all present.
At this moment, Prince Kyarat, his face full of anxiety, spoke to Emperor Kilmock.
"Father, we can’t delay any longer. The main forces of the Eternal Sleep Clan are besieging Star Ring City. Although Star Ring City has held out against the first wave of attacks, it has already become an isolated city. Moreover, the Eternal Sleep Clan has deployed ten top experts, including two Star Lord Level ones. Star Ring City is definitely doomed. If we don’t switch sides now, once the war is over, the Eternal Sleep Clan will come for us."
"Yes! Emperor, Prince Kyarat is right, the situation is urgent now."
"Emperor, if we switch sides now, we can heavily damage Star Ring City, and then we would be considered heroes."
...
Almost over ninety percent of those present anxiously advised.
Only Krisia remained silent, not expressing any stance, though her gaze kept flickering.
Emperor Kilmock’s aged face continuously wriggled, struggling to make a difficult decision.
He truly hadn’t expected Patrick to bring such substantial forces to provide support.
"Father! We must make a decisive move. Time is running out, we must act quickly, or when everything settles, we’ll face calamity."
Prince Kyarat was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.
"Emperor, Prince Kyarat speaks the truth."
Reoter couldn’t help but agree.
Emperor Kilmock looked at the one-sided scene, his flickering eyes gradually becoming resolute, and slowly stood up, hoarsely saying.
"The situation is still unclear, let’s wait a little longer."
"Father! We really can’t wait."
Prince Kyarat was thunderstruck by Emperor Kilmock’s words, pleading desperately.
"Emperor, please reconsider."
...
All the core members of the Immortal Empire in attendance were in an uproar, unable to comprehend the Emperor’s decision.
Emperor Kilmock’s gaze gradually cooled as he swept over everyone who opposed him.
"Are you questioning my decision?"
In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped by several degrees, and everyone inexplicably felt a chill.
"No..."
"We dare not!"
...
Instantly, everyone fell silent.
