The Petrachelys was quietly suspended in s.p.a.ce. A few kilometers down below was the gigantic energy s.h.i.+eld of the Naqdal Continent. The fortress, built on the foundation of a s.p.a.ce continent, was moving out from the inspection array. The land filled with temples, artillery, factories, and drone hangers was moving slowly below the s.p.a.cecraft. On the real-time screen onboard the Petrachelys, it looked like the scene of a moving steel jungle.

“It is an incredible miracle.” Y’zaks was amazed. The old demon might no longer lead his army to war, but the awe-inspiring war machine still earned his praise. “In my homeworld, the scale of this thing is large enough to accommodate a few kingdoms. But here, it is a mobile weapon that carries some devastating power.”

“AG.o.dal is even bigger than this.” Lily lay in the chair, wagging her tail and watching the holographic image. “And the planetary fortress is still perfectly intact and better than this fragment what is only one-third of its original size.”

“It is called the sense of accomplishment; don’t you understand?” Hao Ren glanced at the husky. “It was the drones and me who built up Naqdal while AG.o.dal was built by the giants. How could they be the same?”

Lily thought for a moment. “I do not see the difference. You see, I don’t cook, but I still enjoy the stewed pork ribs that Vivian cooks. Is it not, Battie?”

Vivian replied with her arms crossed. “I have told you that it is not possible to knock sense into her.”

“The Guardian Legion has been deployed. As per the plan, the AG.o.dal will remain near the Heart, and the Naqdal will be the only large fortress in this operation,” said Nolan with reports and images of the Guardian Legion next to her holographic image. “The new structures at the southern tip of the continent are working well, and the structural force field stabilizers and inertia suppressors are working normally. It is the first time we apply battles.h.i.+p technologies on a pile of rocks and buildings. But they work pretty well. after all, the principle is the same.”

Hao Ren nodded and looked at the lights that lit up gradually on the Naqdal Continent. “The real test will only begin during the combat.”

The ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce continent began to accelerate slowly under the powerful force of the large thrusters. The engineering drones had fixed the large cracks and exposed pipes and machines on the base of the continent. s.h.i.+ny silver-white armor belts had covered up the fissures, and a ma.s.sive array of thrusters, weapon modules, and drone factories was on the connecting bridges and at the tips of the continental skeleton. Coupled with the secondary psionic guns, the Naqdal fortress looked a lot bigger than before.

Indeed, it was too big and over the top. On the southern part of the continent, there was an extension structure of metal frames and bridges connecting to an ‘island,’ which was essentially an asteroid. It was as if a satellite nestled next to the Naqdal, full of artillery and energy arrays, and an external weapon bay.

It was a planet-cla.s.s weapon bay.

Around Naqdal, a large swarm of drones had formed a spherical formation that held Naqdal in the center, as if they had made the broken planet whole again. It looked incredible in s.p.a.ce.

Further afield was the Guardian Legion. Salaman was...o...b..ard the Aiur and leading his army in front with thousands of mothers.h.i.+p-cla.s.s black battles.h.i.+ps and tens of thousands of escorts flying in a neat formation as they left the gravitational berths of AG.o.dal. After leaving the berth, they seemed to spread out chaotically as the formation was preparing for wrap jump.

Unlike the drones that could form a compound protective force field, the battles.h.i.+ps of the guardians would deliberately make it as if they were chaotic and without a formation to increase the survival rate of the battle group. It was a common strategy of those interstellar civilizations that had not mastered the joint-s.h.i.+eld technology. Of course, those clowns who did not have a compound s.h.i.+eld, quant.i.tative advantage, and absolute strength yet were still keen on pressing the A key were excepted.

The holographic image of Salaman popped up on the communicator. The old giant nodded to Vivian. “The Lord of the Throne, the Guardian Legion is ready to go to battle at your command.”

“I have told you many times; call me by my name.” Vivian sighed helplessly. “Argh, forget it. Call whatever you like. As I have said before, I do not know anything about commanding an army. So, you and your military strategists will be solely responsible for that. Your mission is to work together with the drone army. Your main task is to attack with the drone corps and build the fortification outside the destruction of Amantier. After receiving our news, we will prepare for it. can.”

Salaman nodded slightly, but hesitated to say: “We can bear more…”

“Your mission is simple yet meaningful.” Vivian interrupted. “The operation is not to clash with the enemy head-on this time. This is a special operation. Do you understand?”

The giant general bowed his head. “Yes, at your command.”

After the call ended, Hao Ren saw continuous flashes in the direction of the Guardian Legion. It was a sign that the battle fleet had entered the warp s.p.a.ce. He turned to Nolan and nodded gently. “Land on the southern island of Naqdal. Let’s roll.”

A moment later, the Naqdal fortress and the entire drone cl.u.s.ter had entered a sparkling s.p.a.ce distortion field and disappeared altogether in s.p.a.ce in the blink of an eye.

After the interference and vibration of the teleportation subsided, the battle group had come to a whole new region of s.p.a.ce.

It was a region where the festered army and the Amantir war fortress controlled.

“The warped s.p.a.ce has opened, the optical path is smooth and visual has returned to normal. Now in transit.”

As soon as Nolan’s voice trailed off, the visual image of the outside scene showed up on the bridge. The first thing Hao Ren saw was a weird purple light that was ubiquitous in s.p.a.ce.

The power of the Mad Lord had infested and corrupted the sacred Amantir planetary fortress and turned its powerful energy reactor into a grow bed, from where evil energy spurted out and permeated the universe, distorting the distant starlight into a hideous sight. The faint purple-red light contained a power that could throw the mortal species into insanity.

Amantir, the blood-red planetary fortress, was right in the center of this mysterious purple-red field.

The degenerated planetary fortress was full of lava craters and erupting volcanoes. Toxic water was gus.h.i.+ng down the rivers and oceans, and the poisonous steam rose to the air and formed a strangely colored atmosphere. Meanwhile, at the equator, the so-called Evil Crack was still surging in red as the festered that had been alerted broke out from within.

Those having even quicker response than the festered were the orbital guns and defense platforms in orbit above the Amantir, and the festered stationed in s.p.a.ce.

“The enemy has come out to meet the Guardian Legion.”

“The drone fleet has spread out. Sequence 1 to 233 are in position. Now exchanging fire with the enemy.”

“The Naqdal fortress is moving.”

“Drone group 234 to 368 battle sequence flank the enemy!”

There was no time for formation, laying out positions and observing the strategy of the enemy, but the counterattack of the festered was quick and ruthless.

Battle reports were sent to the bridge of the Petrachelys in real-time. The onboard battle module of Nolan and the battlefield processing program of the MDT processed the information and issued commands to the drone cl.u.s.ter consciousness, which then issued even more detailed battle instructions to the individual drones.

The process was real-time without any delay.

It was a terrific, efficient battlefield command program. In short, Hao Ren had sent a wave of 30 million battle units and then given each of the 30 million battle units 800APM instructions. On the surface, it looked like he was just using the F2+A hotkeys, but in fact…

Well, in fact, Hao Ren was indeed using F2+A.

The disturbed army of the festered floated and squirmed in s.p.a.ce and then further divided into the endless black tide of monsters. The Guardian Legion, led by Salaman, started to bombard the enemy using long-range firepower. As a guest in this ancient galaxy, the drone fleet once again demonstrated their strength.

They came in swarms and were ruthless, and at the same time, they were orderly, highly precise, and efficient. Each drone was a precision component of the drone group, and the drone swarm that these drones formed was a ruthless meat grinder.

But this time, there were not as many drones as previously.

It was as if the drone fleet did not manage to replenish their lost units since the last battle, there were far fewer drones in meeting the festered, and the scene where the drones flooding the battlefield did not appear this time.

The festered army and the drone army were almost evenly matched.

As the battle raged on, the holographic image of Salaman popped up before Hao Ren.

“Our remote sensing radar has detected an energy response from the Amantir crystal near the fissure.”
