Free Web NovelChapter 1834: Chapter 84: Snow Feather Piercing Cloud
On the side of the insect swarm, the Insect Queen, which had already gained a decisive advantage, began to actively advance. It let out a scream composed of Spiritual Power, and then led the main force of the swarm towards the Alliance Fleet at maximum speed.
"The speed of the insect swarm has accelerated again, and the distance between us is now less than three star units. At this rate, we may encounter them in two minutes..."
Inside the fleet, several detectors stared unblinkingly at the instruments in front of them, observing the rapid approach of the swarm, and they were utterly terrified.
Upon receiving this news, many commanders instinctively froze, swallowing hard as they tried to maintain a facade of composure. However, their bodies betrayed them, with their hands shaking uncontrollably, and large drops of sweat rolling down their pale faces.
These people knew very well what would happen once the Insect Race arrived. The fleet didn’t have any advantage in long-distance bombardments, let alone a melee with the swarm. By then, perhaps within a few rounds, all ships would be torn apart by the insects.
Morale had dropped to an unprecedented low, and some even resorted to using the Spiritual Power Cannon on their own heads, seeking to end the struggle in such despair quickly.
"Think of something, quickly think of something to hold them off! The strength of the Insect Domain is still too high; we simply can’t escape. Have the fleet take the initiative and intercept those damned insects! Hold on a little longer, just a little longer!"
"Commander... it’s useless... we can’t stop them anymore..."
"Damn it! Why did things turn out like this!? Why!? Where the hell did those insects come from!? Why is it us..."
Listening to the officer’s complaints, the soldier merely sighed lightly and said:
"Commander, we’ve already failed... I suggest you take this opportunity to, well, perhaps write a will or something..."
"A will, my ass!"
The commander smacked the soldier on the head with his fist and roared:
"When the insects arrive, there will be nothing left here! They will eat up everything! Damn it! I won’t give up! Order all ships to immediately activate extreme overload mode! Don’t leave the ammo and energy to them! We’ll fight them even to the death!"
The commander planned to fight to the bitter end, but he clearly knew that doing so held little significance. The doomed would still meet their fate, and besides a few Ancestors present, no one would likely escape. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The soldiers quickly carried out his orders to launch an attack. This time, the entire Alliance Fleet activated extreme overload mode, boosting firepower once more. A barrage of Spiritual Power attacks flew towards the swarm.
Yet even so, these attacks remained insignificant in the face of the massive insect swarm, as laughable and small as an ant trying to shake a tree.
The commander closed his eyes in pain, knowing what the upcoming scene would entail without even looking. These attacks, consuming vast amounts of the fleet’s energy, would be overwhelmed at the very first contact with the swarm, unable to create any noticeable waves.
However, in the next second, the exclamation from the soldier beside him awakened him, prompting him to gaze curiously towards the center of the battlefield.
"How... is this possible!?"
The commander was also stunned because what was unfolding before his eyes completely exceeded his expectations, and it could only be described as incredible.
The attacks fired by the fleet had hit the swarm, and all the insects unexpectedly stopped advancing at that very moment, as if struck by some irresistible force, completely adopting a posture of taking a hit. They stood there stupidly, not even putting up a basic defense.
"Do our fleet’s weapons... have such power?"
This idea was the first to pop into the commander’s head, almost making him want to engrave a big question mark on his forehead.
But the next second, he immediately realized.
"No, that’s not right! The fleet’s weapons can’t possibly have such an effect, there’s definitely something stopping them... Wait! Look! Who is that!?"
The ship’s observational equipment immediately projected over, showing three figures standing in the void along the swarm’s path, halting the swarm’s advance.
"Ah! It’s them! It’s Honorable Zi Kuang! And that Demigod named Ji Xing, and that Holy Angel!"
The soldier beside him identified the figures.
"How... could they..."
The commander’s attention had been solely on the swarm earlier, thinking that everyone up ahead had already retreated with Blue White Clothes. He didn’t expect the three of them to remain halfway. freeweɓnovel.cøm
He was a bit uncertain and puzzled. The fleet’s earlier attacks clearly couldn’t achieve such awe-inspiring results, so the only explanation was due to those three.
"Who... exactly are they...?"
The commander felt that everything unfolding before him was incredibly bizarre, especially the positioning of those three, leaving him a little baffled.
Honorable Zi Kuang, the most powerful one, stood at the back, while Ji Xing, the Demigod, took on the role of guard, and the Holy Angel girl stood beside him with the Holy Sword, seemingly like his attendant.
"A Demigod, why would..."
The commander could hardly believe his eyes.
It wasn’t that he underestimated Demigods, but facing such a terrifying Level 7 Insect Swarm, even the Invincible God King like Blue White Clothes had failed. How could a Demigod who hadn’t even fully reached the Extraordinary Level manage to stop the swarm?
