Chapter 1981 - 1568: Sense of Oppression
At this moment, more countries have yet to make a decision, wandering aimlessly.
Just then, the Endless Sleep Clan’s endless troops began to approach the edge of the Ring Star Sea, and then the mighty army stopped.
The sky was filled with Spirit Touchers, scattering to make way for a huge passage.
Then a fortress-shaped like an hourglass with countless fluorescent tentacles on its surface, its massive body covered in various special circuits emitting a gentle glow, moved to the forefront – the VI-class Fortress Nest, You Guang.
On the central control platform of the VI-class Fortress Nest, You Guang.
Mankadi, Alklay, Brunan, and others gathered together.
"We’ve reached the edge of the Ring Star Sea; why not push in and destroy Star Ring City all at once?"
Mogasi asked puzzledly.
"Haste makes waste. Star Ring City is already a fish on the chopping board, unable to make any waves. What we need to consider now is how to mentally oppress the other side to the greatest extent while minimizing our casualties."
Brunan said in a deep voice.
"I agree. I think we can encircle Star Ring City in a semicircular pincer and lay siege to it. Meanwhile, leave an escape route at the rear. That way, the subsidiary minnows of Star Ring City will be scared witless and flee!"
Mankadi hoarsely proposed.
"That sounds like a great idea! We can besiege without attacking to break their morale, and by then Star Ring City will be isolated."
Alklay replied in agreement.
"Feasible, but the density of our troops must be controlled, not too large! Star Ring City should have quite a few terrifying super weapons, like the Heart of Destruction!"
Brunan reminded deeply.
At this point, Patrick arrogantly asked, "All your talk is fine, but what if Star Ring City runs away without fighting?"
"Tsk tsk, you can rest assured about that. Icaroya, that madwoman, would rather die in battle than run like a stray dog. If she really swallows her pride and flees, then that’ll be interesting!"
Mogasi said excitedly.
"Then let’s do it!"
Patrick agreed with this strategy.
In the starry sky, the Endless Sleep Clan’s overwhelming monsters surged from all directions into the Ring Star Sea, forming an arc-shaped formation to encircle Star Ring City and all the Third Birthplace nations.
At the instant the Endless Sleep Clan’s troops entered the Ring Star Sea, the colossal Star Ring City moved.
The massive Star Ring City began advancing, while broadcasts echoed throughout the city.
"Emergency notice: Star Ring City has entered combat state and is advancing. A danger warning is now issued. All non-combatants, please hurry to the shelter. Additionally, Star Ring City will close all ports and major civilian hangars, keeping only combat channels open."
...
At this moment, many people hiding in underground shelters wore uneasy expressions.
Their lack of confidence wasn’t in Star Ring City or Icaroya; it’s just that when Star Ring City entered combat state in the past, it was always crushing others, leaving nothing to worry about.
But today is different from the past. Now Star Ring City is about to be besieged, coupled with the enemy’s overwhelming numbers, leaving no room for fear.
On the streets of Star Ring City, uniform Night Guard Mechas began patrolling the streets, thoroughly clearing internal threats.
At this point, images of the Endless Sleep Clan’s army invading the Ring Star Sea were uploaded to the Star Ring Forum.
Immediately triggering a new wave of panic.
Various desperate and fearful posts appeared.
"Run away! With this many enemies, Star Ring City definitely can’t win. Fellow members of the Third Birthplace, hurry and escape!"
"Offering a high price for escape ship tickets."
"Run away!"
....
In an instant, numerous different types of ships set sail from all the nations of the Third Birthplace, swarming towards the starry sky to escape.
The scale of which reached a terrifying extent.
Too many people’s defenses were broken!
These escaping ships even included some from within the Federation.
Of course, regarding this situation, all countries chose to turn a blind eye. Although they decided to stay and fight for various reasons, they also felt uncertain. A partial exodus might not be a bad thing.
Inside the command room of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade.
Tilo was reporting the latest situation to Su Mo.
"The Endless Sleep Clan’s troops have entered the Ring Star Sea and are closing in on us. The latest development here is that Star Ring City has moved forward, positioning itself in front of the Mother Stars of the Third Birthplace nations. This means Star Ring City will take the main impact, and our Earth Star and Fortress of the Heart of Forbidden Prison will be relatively less impacted."
"Hmm, I understand."
Su Mo nodded slightly, sincerely admiring Star Ring City’s decision.
In fact, the best strategic confrontation would have been to use the Mother Stars of the Third Birthplace as a buffer defense zone for interception, to lessen the pressure on Star Ring City or for Star Ring City to directly flee, ensuring its escape.
However, Icaroya did not do this.
This shows that Icaroya isn’t as cold and ruthless as she appears. Upon meticulous consideration, the things she does are actually quite significant.
This time, after listening to Tilo’s words, Long Ke and others also sighed in relief, as Star Ring City’s forward movement greatly reduced their pressure.
Tilo immediately reported to Su Mo: "There’s also troubling news."
"What news?"
Su Mo asked.
"The scale of the Endless Sleep Clan’s invading army is too massive, so many in fear broke down and chose to flee directly."
Tilo said gravely.
"What about the Federation?"
Su Mo pondered for a moment and asked.
"The Federation also experienced a mass exodus, but fortunately, the regular Legions are intact, constructing the Earth Star defense line and also sending a troop to support Star Ring City."
"Okay!"
"Su Mo, should we head to the frontline?"
"Not for now, hold the Heart of Forbidden Prison! But even so, do not let your guard down. Even if we are not at the frontline, the subsequent troop impact will not be small."
Su Mo replied simply. He planned to hold the Heart of Forbidden Prison first, then go to assist.
"Understood!"
Tilo nodded in reply.
At this point, Qian Chengxue looked at the Ring Star Forum’s published tracing map of the Endless Sleep Clan troops, and asked Su Mo with some confusion.
"Su Mo, I always feel something is off."
"What’s off?"
Su Mo replied puzzledly.
"In the past, when the Endless Sleep Clan troops attacked, it was like a tsunami, violent and fierce! This time the troop advancement isn’t quick."
"Indeed, it is a bit unusual. It’s unclear what their intention is. Let’s hold our position and not lose our composure."
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.
