Free Web NovelChapter 1778: Chapter 1412: Trap (First Update)
After the communication was completely cut off, Long Ke couldn’t help but complain.
"Boss, the guy from the Mechanical Empire is just too arrogant. We kindly asked him, and he dismissed us. Speaking so harshly, he might end up getting his ass kicked."
"It’s not surprising, since our relationship with the Mechanical Empire has always been rocky. There have been repeated conflicts before, so having such an attitude is pretty good. If they want to fight on their own, let them fight. Once they clear the path, we’ll follow, and it will save us a lot of trouble."
Su Mo, on the contrary, saw things quite clearly.
"Boss, you’re wise."
Long Ke grinned, showing his yellowed teeth, and flattered him.
"Alright, enough of that. Slow down, we’ll hold our position at the back."
Su Mo directly issued the order.
"Yes!"
Tilo immediately responded.
At this moment, in the starry sky ahead, in the command room of the Standard-Level Star Destroyer Light Crystal.
Luo Qi hung up the communication, his expression somewhat gloomy.
"Lord Luo Qi, wasn’t it inappropriate to refute Commander Su Mo like that? After all, he’s part of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, and it seems our mission is linked to his."
A subordinate hesitated for a moment and asked.
"So what? He’s in the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, his strength is indeed impressive! But does that mean I’m inferior? Who can claim the top spot in this war is still uncertain. Tell the people below to move quickly and cleanly, and deal with those bothersome Eternal Sleep Clan units swiftly."
Luo Qi responded confidently, not backing down at all.
"Understood!"
Everyone present echoed in agreement.
In the starry sky, numerous Spirit Touchers continuously launched attacks, fiercely assaulting Luo Qi and An Yin’s units.
They frantically broke through the interception, launching suicidal attacks on the ships, not hesitating even if it meant certain death. Their purpose was to delay the fleet’s advancement speed, buying time for the rear units to gather and organize.
Although the Eternal Sleep Clan had deployed nearly five billion troops in the Gray Mirror Star Sea, the sudden assault from Radiant City and Dust Fortress shredded the Elken Defense Line and Algae Defense Line instantly. The entire star sea was torn open, and a massive force surged in, catching them off guard.
Just as they began internal mobilization, Kedora Fortress forcefully barged in from another side of the Gray Mirror Star Sea, instantly disrupting their internal mobilization.
Su Mo gazed at the battlefield in the starry sky, watching the Spirit Touchers in an almost frenzied state, his brows tightly furrowed.
"The combat strength of the Eternal Sleep Clan is truly formidable."
"This clan’s combat power has never been weak; highly neurotic, they have very special methods to block fear from their brains. They can also place themselves in a state of extreme excitement. When they are determined, ready to die, they can erupt with formidable combat strength." freewebnøvel.coɱ
The creator, Swallower, explained.
"This ability is truly OP."
Su Mo couldn’t help but praise.
"Enough about that, do you really trust them? I must remind you, the Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces across are rapidly gathering. Once they succeed, it will be much harder to break through."
The creator, Swallower, replied quietly.
"Even though I don’t quite like them, I still trust their capabilities."
Su Mo responded calmly.
Just as Su Mo’s words fell, the Mecha intercepting the Spirit Touchers all scattered.
Under the lead of the Star Destroyer Light Crystal, ships led by Luo Qi began to open their launch ports, firing out round, chunky missiles.
These missiles didn’t travel far before all cracking open, dispersing into a multitude of small black Crystal Cluster Missiles.
These black Crystal Cluster Missiles seemed to have eyes, locking onto the suicidal Spirit Touchers and ferociously attacking.
An Yin wasn’t outdone either, ordering his subordinate ships to open numerous launch ports, frantically unleashing a sea of tracking missiles.
BOOM~ BOOM~
In an instant, smoke and fire rose up into the sky,
Countless Spirit Touchers fell.
Soon after, the ships from the Mechanical Empire and Laurel Kingdom accelerated forward, quickly hitting the gathering Eternal Sleep Clan forces ahead.
Light Crystal took the lead in attacking with a dazzling meteor beam, striking a giant coral-shaped fortress.
BOOM!
The energy barrier of the entire coral-shaped fortress collapsed immediately.
Other ships focused their firepower, launching attacks upon it.
Brilliant explosions erupted one after another.
Simultaneously, An Yin and Luo Qi’s numerous subordinates piloted Mechas, swiftly infiltrating the enemy forces, harassing the retaliating Wind Shuttle ships.
Soon, the stalemate on the battlefield was broken.
In the command room of the Legendary-Level Star Destroyer Immortal Blade.
Tilo reported, "They successfully broke through the defense line of the Eternal Sleep Clan ahead."
"We’ll just follow behind and let them lead the way."
Su Mo replied indifferently.
"Understood."
Tilo responded knowingly.
In the star sea, Luo Qi and An Yin’s fleet, after successfully smashing through the Eternal Sleep Clan’s web-like defense line, kept advancing toward the depths of the star sea.
In the command room of the Standard Star Destroyer Light Crystal.
Luo Qi was in a good mood and praised his subordinates, "Well done, true to being Imperial Soldiers, breaking through so quickly, you didn’t disappoint me."
"Thank you for your praise, my lord, but Lord Luo Qi, there’s a matter—"
Luo Qi’s adjutant, Weiqi, hesitated for a moment and said.
"What matter?"
"It’s about Commander Su Mo’s ship, which has been trailing behind us all along, without any intention of moving forward. Is that okay?"
"Humph, let him be. We just need to do what we’re supposed to."
Luo Qi replied arrogantly.
In fact, it’s not entirely Luo Qi’s fault for having such a deep prejudice against Su Mo, since the position Su Mo currently occupies belonged to Luo Qi’s elder brother. For Luo Qi, this frustration is beyond words.
Someday, he must prove himself and reclaim his family’s lost honor.
Just then, in the starry sky, the floating debris, with its surface adorned by disguised mechanical eyes, suddenly lit up. Observing closely, one would find these mechanical eyes aren’t purely mechanical; at their centers, eyeballs seem embedded. These eyeballs rotated, locking onto the passing ships around them.
BOOM~ BOOM~
Suddenly, the entire Light Crystal trembled violently, and a red warning popped up.
"Warning, Energy Barrier strength down by twelve percent!"
Luo Qi steadied himself, annoyed, and asked.
"What’s the situation?"
As soon as he spoke, ships surrounding Light Crystal saw their Energy Barriers explode into violent blasts.
One 5th-level Battleship and seven 4th-level Battleships were severely damaged on the spot, effectively crippled.
"It’s a concealed trigger trap; as soon as ships approach, they get attacked!"
Weiqi hurriedly explained.
"Those damned bastards have started setting traps."
Luo Qi was extremely infuriated.
