The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1130: Chapter 176: Battle Record

In space, blinding energy beams silently and effortlessly destroyed one warship after another.

The outcome of this battle held little suspense; the Blue Star Fleet, led by the Chiyou, was practically overwhelming the enemy.

Keith had initially thought that there was only one advanced battleship, the Chiyou, and had prepared to hold them off to buy time, believing victory would eventually be theirs.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. This wasn’t just a single warship but a massive fleet led by the Chiyou, which had also blocked their communications and encircled them. Hoping to hold out was nothing but wishful thinking.

The battle scene was nearly one-sided, with the Blue Star Fleet responsible for containment and encirclement, while the Chiyou was tasked with annihilation.

The brilliant energy lights from the destruction of warships illuminated the deep, dark space.

“Colonel Keith, the flagship can’t withstand the attack anymore. The energy shield is down to twenty percent, and the protective fleet in front has been cleared out,” said the operator on the flagship with a hint of despair in his voice.

The defense of their flagship was actually very strong, but with the Chiyou Battleship’s firepower, it might only take one or two attacks to completely destroy the shield and the ship.

“Open the hatch. Colin, you take over command of the warship.” Keith’s expression was solemn as he walked outside, a resolute glint in his cold, deep eyes.

The adjutant watched Keith’s departing figure stand tall and saluted.

Clearly, he knew what Colonel Keith intended to do.

As a fleet commander with significant command authority in this military district, Colonel Keith himself had impressive combat power and was a Great Practitioner at the level of a Skywalker.

Keith would use his Skywalker-level single combat power to challenge the warship.

Though Skywalkers were powerful, they naturally couldn’t shake advanced battleships. However, if one could penetrate the warship’s interior and control or kill the opposing commander, victory could still be achieved.

This is also the significance of becoming a Great Practitioner. Even in space, powerful cultivators still wield significant deterrence, able to directly combat small warships with their own strength and threaten larger ones with their individual prowess.

Especially the top-tier Skywalkers. If an advanced battleship lacked a powerful Skywalker for protection, it would face significant danger. Once the top-tier Skywalker infiltrated, it would likely be game over.

Though not a top-tier Skywalker, and considering the opposing commander might also be a Skywalker-level presence, at a time like this, there was no choice but to fight to the death.

The deep space was ablaze with destructive warfare.

At this time, a jet-black figure darted through the war zone, racing towards the Chiyou Battleship at incredible speed.

“Human target approaching,” the Chiyou Battleship’s intelligent body alerted, locking onto Keith’s rapidly approaching figure on the screen.

“Shall we annihilate him?” the intelligent body inquired, as its advanced capabilities enabled it to perform most tasks, requiring the operator to merely make the final decision.

“No,” the operator replied, “Test his strength.”

He wanted to gauge the strength level of this Skywalker rushing in. If he proved too powerful, then he wouldn’t take further risks.

After all, the Chiyou Battleship was too important to them to risk any mishap.

The Chiyou Battleship fired at Keith, but not with annihilation-grade firepower, merely using dense attacks to probe Keith’s capabilities.

Keith moved swiftly, forging ahead despite the firepower. However, because the actual distance between warships in space is so vast, considering they launch long-range attacks, reaching the other side didn’t seem all that easy.

“Seems a bit ordinary,” Xu Mo remarked, watching the screen footage. But it couldn’t be ruled out that Keith was deliberately hiding his true power.

“Intensify the particle energy beam firepower.”

Xu Mo instructed, determined to get serious so Keith couldn’t continue hiding.

“The opposing warship is covering Keith’s advance,” another warship reported as they launched power attacks towards the Chiyou Battleship.

“Destroy them,” the operator commanded. “We must end this battle quickly.”

They had lured the enemy fleet into deep space to avoid exposing the Blue Star Fleet’s presence for the moment. Their operational goal this time was to leave no enemy warships behind.

Despite having blocked the signals in this space, Colonel Keith likely notified military forces in advance, who would track them down.

Thus, they couldn’t afford any delay.

Keith encountered great cost reaching the Chiyou Battleship, his armor shattered, clothes stained with blood, and the warships covering him destroyed.

He shot directly towards the Chiyou Battleship’s hatch.

Just as he was about to force his way in, the Chiyou Battleship’s hatch suddenly opened. Although he sensed something was wrong, at that moment, Keith had no choice and charged straight in.

“Boom…”

The instant Keith entered the hatch, his spiritual power was violently assaulted. A tremendous spiritual force rampaged through his mind, bombarding him with countless memory images as if invaded all at once.

Deep in his mind, it was as if another person emerged.

“Bang.” The hatch closed, and a powerful attack hit Keith’s body, causing his internal organs to shudder, as though fractured, blood spurting from his mouth.

Keith finally understood why things felt wrong all along; they had intentionally let him enter.

But he had no other path to take.

“Congratulations, you guessed right,” a voice from the operator directly echoed in Keith’s mind.

“Who are you?” Keith’s consciousness asked.

“Boom…”

The terrifying spiritual power contained an irresistible will, continuing to invade Keith’s mind. Keith was horrified to discover that his brain was gradually being eroded and occupied by the other party.

If this continues, he might become another version of the other party.

“Xu Mo…” As Keith’s mind was occupied by Xu Mo, the residual consciousness finally knew who the other party was, it was Xu Mo’s clone.

The cloning technology that the military has always wanted—yet they could never have imagined that Xu Mo was the clone himself.

“Boom.”

Accompanied by Xu Mo’s continued attack, he completely crushed Keith’s will to resist. Subsequently, his gaze changed; there was no longer the previous terror but instead an exceptional calm.

The clone stood motionless, while Keith headed back to his main battleship.

Keith returned to the military’s main battleship.

“Colonel Keith.” The adjutant looked at Keith somewhat strangely, wondering why he came back?

“Cease fire, surrender,” Keith said.

The adjutant’s expression changed and he looked at Keith with a solemn expression, “Colonel Keith, as a soldier, I can die in battle but I do not accept surrender.”

“Bang.”

Keith smashed the adjutant’s head directly with a punch, and blood splattered out. The people in the command room looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

What has happened?

Keith’s eyes coldly scanned the dead adjutant. As a soldier, one can die in battle, but does not accept surrender — how glorious.

When slaughtering civilians, did they remember the duties of a soldier?

Feeling moved by oneself?

If you can die in battle, then go die.

“Surrender,” Keith continued.

“Yes, Colonel.” The main battleship issued a surrender signal, and seeing the main battleship surrender, other warships naturally lost their will to fight; at this moment, this fleet was already destroyed and shattered.

Keith controlled the operator of the main battleship, and then the military’s main battleship headed towards the Chiyou Battleship. When Keith returned to the Chiyou Battleship, he stood before the clone, and then his body fell softly. The clone glanced at him coldly and dragged him towards the control room.

“All warships, follow my battleship.” The voice of the clone from the Chiyou Battleship transmitted into all the enemy warships. Leave here first and then receive this fleet.

“Those who do not comply will be directly destroyed.” The clone’s voice was icy. The Chiyou Battleship turned around to withdraw, Keith’s main battleship followed, and immediately a mighty fleet moved in unison with the Chiyou Battleship.

The Blue Star Fleet was still on the outer perimeter, forming a blockade net, not allowing any warship the chance to escape. At the same time, signal jamming continued to avoid the opponent from sending signals out.

After they had left for a while, a warship came searching in the deep space. Moments later, the fleet reached here, but this area of space only held many wreckages. Clearly, a war had broken out here, but the fleet had already disappeared.

On the main battleship, the Commander’s expression was solemn, and his gaze was icy as he stared at this area of space.

The signal was lost, space wreckage, and still no contact was established.

Clearly, a space battle erupted not long ago, and their side was the defeated.

If victorious, it would be impossible to remain out of contact until now.

But the fleet—are they dead or alive?

How did the opponent clean up a large United Fleet so quickly?

As he predicts, if the opponent is Xu Mo’s people, even possessing that advanced battleship, it would still be impossible to clean up so swiftly.

Is it not the Blue Star Technology Group but rather the Empire’s forces?

“No…”

If it were the Kales Empire, the likelihood of directly attacking Komlin Star is higher.

Is it other space forces?

Who would dare to do this?

When the Governor of Komlin Star, the head of the Bern Family, and the people of the Tang Family received the fleet’s disappearance news, they were all shocked.

A United Fleet had vanished in space.

Just how strong is the opponent’s force? It seemed to become a mystery.

Even they didn’t know who the enemy was; the Blue Star Technology Group was just speculation—they could only say it’s the most likely.

In space, a mighty fleet advanced, the Blue Star Fleet had completed intercepting and controlling all the warships.

Tang Mo and others were brought onto the Chiyou Battleship; with the clone’s spiritual power methods, it was easy to completely control these people.

This space battle saw the Blue Star Fleet losing one warship, while more than a dozen warships sustained varying degrees of damage.

Additionally, in this operation, forty-two warships were captured, while the rest were destroyed. Not a single warship managed to escape, and all that tried to breach and flee were swiftly subjected to concentrated destructive strikes by the Chiyou Battleship and the Blue Star Fleet.
