False Court
Chapter 1422 Accident
Yan Gang and the others, upon hearing Su Mo's words, manipulated their mechs and charged forward to clear the path, decisively slaying the Lingchu Zhe (Soul Touchers) that stood in their way.
At the same time, the legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, opened rows of launch ports, unleashing a torrent of fire!
Rumble~
The vanguard of the Everlasting Sleepers' forces was instantly devastated, shattered as soon as they gathered.
Su Mo and the others rapidly broke through toward the rear of the starry sky.
However, the Everlasting Sleepers' forces were far from giving up. Disregarding casualties, they swarmed from all directions, sacrificing themselves to impede Su Mo's escape.
It was a spectacular sight: countless Lingchu Zhe, like flying insects, frantically latching onto the Immortal Blade.
The Immortal Blade's defensive and offensive turrets unleashed their full firepower!
Rumble~
Any Lingchu Zhe that approached was almost instantly blasted into fragments, turning into a bloody rain across the starry sky.
But the relentless tide of Lingchu Zhe showed no sign of diminishing, instead growing ever larger.
Allied ships and mechs also began to sink and fall in large numbers.
To make matters worse, every so often, one or two Gale class ships would charge at the Immortal Blade or position themselves in its path, attempting to ram and block it.
Inside the Immortal Blade's command center.
Long Ke, sweating profusely, said to Di Luo, "Big Sis, this isn't working! These Everlasting Sleepers are insane! We can't increase our speed at all."
Di Luo, her expression tense, remained silent for a long moment.
The hearts of everyone in the command center sank further, not knowing when that mysterious attack would strike again.
Finally, Di Luo looked up and said, "Don't panic."
Long Ke swallowed hard and said, "It's not that, Big Sis, but that attack is so unpredictable and incredibly fast. And the radar can't give us any early warning. By the time we get a warning, it's already too close. And at the very end, the beam even makes micro-adjustments. No one can dodge that! And now these damned enemies are still harassing us like crazy."
"The more frantic the enemy's actions, the more it reveals its purpose. Even though they're in the dark and we're in the light, it's not like we have no way to respond. Preheat the warp drive."
Di Luo quickly issued the order.
"Immediately!"
Long Ke immediately began the operation.
Just as Long Ke finished, Artificial Intelligence·Dark Spirit issued a warning.
"Warning, two Dandelion Fortresses detected on the forward flight path, closing in on us at maximum speed. Estimated probability of evasion: seventeen percent."
"Load antimatter missiles as backup."
Di Luo quickly responded.
"Big Sis, shouldn't we launch an attack immediately?"
Long Ke was also slightly taken aback.
"Not yet. And we're not fighting alone!"
Di Luo was reluctant to expend the antimatter missiles.
Just then, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, piloting their mechs, rushed past the legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, and headed straight for the two Dandelion Fortresses.
Su Mo raised the Thor's Spear in his hand. Lightning flashed, and with a roar!
Su Mo transformed into a streak of light, instantly piercing through the Dandelion Fortress, exiting through its vital point.
Boom!
The Dandelion Fortress exploded in an instant.
On the other side, Qian Chengxue, piloting the Future Envoy, also forcefully shattered its energy barrier and penetrated into the Dandelion Fortress.
In an instant, the entire Dandelion Fortress was crippled.
Di Luo decisively seized the opportunity, maneuvering the legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, to charge forward.
Just then, three more Dandelion Fortresses appeared in front of the Immortal Blade, crashing toward it madly.
At the same time, from behind the Immortal Blade in the pitch-black starry sky, a dark red beam of destructive energy, moving with extreme speed, slashed across the void, approaching at a devilishly sharp angle.
The two formed a perfect pincer attack.
"No, we can't evade!"
Long Ke's heart was in his throat.
"Jump!"
Di Luo decisively activated the warp drive. The entire legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, instantly twisted.
In an instant, the destructive dark red beam pierced through the Immortal Blade's afterimage, annihilating the three Dandelion Fortresses closing in.
The next moment, the legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, reappeared in the distance ahead, successfully dodging the attack.
Seeing this, Su Mo's tense heart finally relaxed, and he immediately issued the order.
"Everyone, accelerate and retreat!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Thus, the many ships accelerated and retreated.
About half an hour later, Su Mo and the other ships had left the combat zone, retreating a considerable distance.
At this point, no Everlasting Sleepers' forces were pursuing them.
The legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade, also began to slow down, and the scattered ships began to regroup.
Over the public communication channel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally escaped! We're saved!"
"It's like a nightmare. What was that terrifying attack?"
"No idea. This is crazy."
...
Su Mo took a deep breath and said to the Creator·Devourer, "Don't you think that attack is similar to the attack on the Gagua Republic by Planetary Fortress·Hongjing Zhi Nu (Crimson Rage) last time?"
"It is similar, but not on the same level. Although that Crimson Rage fortress can attack from extreme distances, its power isn't that strong. It couldn't pose such a great threat to the legendary Star Destroyer, the Immortal Blade. And that fortress's accuracy wasn't good either. It could hit a stationary target, but it couldn't hit a moving target."
The Creator·Devourer quickly rejected Su Mo's idea.
"Makes sense. So what the hell is attacking us..."
Su Mo couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"This, I also... Not good! It's coming again!"
The Creator·Devourer suddenly warned, cutting his sentence short.
Hearing the Creator·Devourer's words, Su Mo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his face revealing an expression of utter disbelief.
Inside the Immortal Blade's command center.
Artificial Intelligence·Dark Spirit issued a piercing alarm.
"Warning, strong energy reaction detected, the enemy is launching an attack on us."
At this moment, Di Luo's delicate face turned pale, completely lacking her previous composure. She never imagined that even after escaping such a great distance, the enemy could still launch an attack.
This completely exceeded her expectations.
"We're finished!"
Long Ke and the others were also dumbfounded.
At that moment, Su Mo's first reaction was that the Immortal Blade was in danger. He instantly piloted the Kuangyan Reenhawk (Raging Thunderhawk) to the rear of the Immortal Blade.
In the distance, a dark red beam of destructive energy, moving with incredible speed, slashed across the starry sky, causing the surrounding space to collapse, faster than words could describe.
"Get out of the way! You can't block it!"
The Creator·Devourer said to Su Mo with intense emotional fluctuations.
