Rumble—

The mechanical legions plowed through the satellite fortress time and time again, and the four Beyond Grade A powerhouses were no longer besieging Han Xiao, but fleeing for their lives.

Han Xiao was distracted by the virtual invasion, destroying the satellite fortress being his combat mission. After killing Tamaria, the other four did not dare to attack him head-on; no one was there to interrupt him.

With the various abilities of his virtual technology advancing multiple times, Han Xiao did not expend much effort and successfully seized control of the satellite fortress. The technical ability of an A+ grade virtual mechanic was enough to break through most intelligences.

Han Xiao searched through the control modules of the satellite fortress and sighed.

"There's no self-destruct module, what a shame."

After thinking for a while, Han Xiao controlled the satellite fortress to open the surface通道 (passageway), and then sent a portion of his mechanical soldiers into the fortress to place secondary psionic energy bombs.

From an efficiency standpoint, detonating the satellite fortress's internal energy furnace was much easier than destroying the fortress from the outside.

…

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield.

Several nimble small spaceships shuttled through the chaotic battlefield, carrying the Beyond Grade A powerhouses dispatched by Morid and others, trying to break through the enemy's blockade to support Han Xiao.

However, in the battlefield, high-energy particle cannons crisscrossed, and these few support teams were repeatedly forced back by the dense artillery fire, making it difficult to break through the enemy ships' firepower network.

As waves of war realm fleets arrived on the battlefield through rapid support channels, the main force's pressure increased sharply, and they could no longer provide complete cover for these support teams.

"The situation is not good. We've been dragging on for a bit too long. The forces from several enemy strongholds have already shaken off the units containing them and are rushing to the base station. The number of enemies we are facing has increased several times over!"

In the flagship, Morid heard the observer's report, his expression changing.

He gritted his back teeth, his cheeks bulging, his voice seeming to burst out from between his teeth.

"At this rate, we'll at best achieve a pyrrhic victory! Black Star is the key to quickly breaking the stalemate, but he is currently isolated and without support. Are the helpers we sent still unable to break through the blockade!"

"No, the enemy seems to have seen through our intentions, completely sealing off the route to the satellite fortress where Black Star is located," the observer said.

A touch of fierceness appeared in Morid's eyes, and his expression became decisive. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Send my order, the entire army shrinks its formation, advances deeply in this direction, opens the way for the support team, and pierces through the enemy's defenses!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the command room's expression changed, revealing shock.

The current situation on the battlefield could be described as a five-layer chocolate ball, the situation being clear at a glance.

The outermost layer was the fleets of Morid and the other three Zero Organizations, the second layer was the base station's defense fleet, and the two sides were fighting.

Behind the defense fleet was the base station's super-large protective shield. With this layer as the boundary, it separated the outer battlefield from the base station's core. The inner circle, one layer further in, was the nine satellite fortresses surrounding the base station, and the center of the "chocolate ball" was the target that the Zero Organization wanted to destroy, the T-04 warp base station.

Morid's order was for the entire fleet to advance alone, opening the way for the team supporting Black Star. This move was tantamount to abandoning the retreat route, entering the enemy's hinterland, and actively falling into encirclement.

Once the main force pierced through the enemy's blockade but failed to immediately break the base station's protective shield, it would be equivalent to falling into a dead end, with no way forward and pursuers behind.

"This is a gambling tactic, too risky!"

"I don't agree with this radical approach. It's better to be steady and methodical."

As soon as he finished speaking, many captains protested. They belonged to other cooperating forces and were not Morid's direct subordinates.

The drawbacks of the joint forces were revealed again. When encountering a crisis that required risk, people's hearts were not aligned, and more people tended to calculate their own losses rather than the battlefield situation.

One after another, rebuttals rang out in the communication channel, and Morid's face became even more unsightly. Only the New Fellan Military's fleet was his direct force, but this amount of force was simply not enough. He needed the help of other forces.

Bang!

Morid couldn't bear it any longer and slammed the table, interrupting the protests of the many captains.

"I know that every one of your forces wants to gain the favor of the Purple Crystal and become a long-term partner of the Star Cluster level civilization. However, do you think the Purple Crystal Civilization is so easy to fool without risking your lives?! I'm tired of being defeated by the war realm again and again. Now that the opportunity is clearly in front of us, His Excellency Black Star is fighting bloody battles. As long as we lend him a helping hand, we can break the stalemate and win this victory! You are all large forces in your respective star systems, famous and powerful. Why have you become a group of cowards now? If you don't even dare to take a little risk, I'll be blunt, what did you come to the war for?!"

The communication channel suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke anymore.

Seeing this, Morid stopped talking nonsense and said in a deep voice, "Execute the order!"

The entire fleet no longer slowly advanced, the entire battle line shrinking, like a war hammer, heavily piercing into the formation of the base station's defense fleet!

The shields of the warships withstood attacks from all directions, advancing all the way like a hot knife through butter, penetrating deeply, and charging toward the satellite fortress where Han Xiao had landed.

The enemy fleet was initially knocked into a mess, but quickly adjusted its formation to intercept and block Morid's fleet.

Before long, Morid's fleet no longer had the momentum of its initial advance, as if it had fallen into a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward. At this time, they had already penetrated deep into the blockade, only a short distance away from the satellite fortress's protective shield.

However, it seemed that Morid's fleet would take ten times longer to cross this distance.

"Hold on, the satellite fortress is right in front of us!"

The flagship was taking concentrated fire, and the command room shook slightly. Morid ordered loudly, "Support team, it's your turn, seize the opportunity to land!"

At this time, the atmosphere on the support team's ship was tense and solemn.

The Beyond Grade A team leader looked serious and loudly instructed the others.

"Everyone, get ready for battle. His Excellency Black Star needs our help. Move out!"

In the next moment, these Beyond Grade As jumped out of the spaceship, moving nimbly and circuitously, using the main force as a barrier, and under Morid's tense gaze, finally broke through the blockade and headed straight for the satellite fortress.

Morid looked hopefully at the Beyond Grade A powerhouses rapidly approaching the satellite fortress.

Whether they could achieve a great victory depended on this move!

However, just as he was tense, a sudden change occurred!

The members of the support team had just approached the protective shield outside the satellite fortress when they saw the satellite fortress inside suddenly emit a strong light and explode violently!

The entire satellite fortress expanded and shattered from the inside out. This space fortress, which looked like a small planet, turned into a dazzling ball of light in the blink of an eye!

The shock wave swept through, countless armor, parts, and machines bursting apart, turning into floating space debris, the momentum like a planetary explosion!

With the destruction of the fortress, the base station's protective shield lost one of its endpoints, and the shield in this area instantly evaporated and disappeared, revealing a huge hole large enough for a fleet to enter.

Behind the hole was the warp base station, unprotected.

The road to the enemy's hinterland was opened!

A figure flew out from the wreckage of the satellite fortress. It was Han Xiao.

The sudden change here attracted the attention of the entire battlefield. Whether it was friend or foe, everyone turned their gaze over, and shock appeared on everyone's face.

Black Star, alone, blew up the satellite fortress?!

The mechanical legion had already been recovered. Han Xiao left the wreckage of the fortress with dozens of barracks boxes, his mecha bearing many scorched marks.

He saw the support team members stopped in mid-air at a glance, waved hello, and sent a voice message.

"You're late."

The support team members had been psychologically prepared for a bloody battle, but at this moment, they felt like they had punched cotton. They looked at Han Xiao blankly, dumbfounded.

W-where are our enemies?

Could it be that you killed them all?!

Everyone was shocked.

How many Beyond Grade As had Black Star killed?!

"Well done!!"

Morid was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted excitedly, his expression ecstatic.

He thought that Black Star was being held back by the enemy, isolated and without support, but it seemed that the situation was completely opposite to his guess!

Unexpectedly, under the pressure of being besieged by many Beyond Grade As, Black Star could still blow up the satellite!

So reliable!

The protective shield was broken in a very timely manner, it was simply a godsend.

Not having time to consider other things, Morid seized the opportunity and decisively ordered the entire fleet to break through the blockade, and followed the hole in the protective shield straight into the base, madly firing at the base station.

…

At the same time, the base station was being bombarded, shaking non-stop, and the interior had fallen into chaos, the shrill alarm echoing in every corner.

"Warning! Warning! High-energy attack detected!"

Outside the window, dazzling artillery fire, as bright as stars, was rapidly approaching like the Grim Reaper's countdown.

In the main control room, the base station commander looked out of the porthole, his lips trembling, and his face twitching with fear, like all the staff around him, revealing a look of despair.

He didn't understand why Black Star was so much stronger than the intelligence reports said.

He sent five Beyond Grade As to reinforce Tamaria and the others, which was originally a precaution to guard against the powerhouses who came to support Black Star. However, he didn't expect that these five Beyond Grade As were still on their way when Black Star killed Tamaria!

That was the strongest person stationed at the base station!

Just like that, he was killed?!

When the five reinforcements arrived, the four Beyond Grade As who followed Tamaria were either dead or injured, completely crushed. Black Star was in great shape, and turned around to knock down the five Beyond Grade As who came to reinforce!

Black Star alone had defeated more than half of the high-level combat power stationed at the base station!

What use was the countermeasure mentioned in the intelligence reports?!

This completely disrupted all the plans, and the base station commander was directly stunned, his brain blank.

Facing the crushing-level high-level combat power, he only felt helpless, without any solution, and could only watch Black Star turn the satellite fortress into fireworks.

Time seemed to be stretched, the artillery fire was getting closer and closer, the light was dazzling, reflected on the face of the base station commander, filling his vision, as if he had fallen into a white world.

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

"I just… lost to Black Star."
