The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1295: Chapter 54: Full-Scale Eruption

Skull Star is now filled with military factories.

As the war crisis approaches, all major factories work tirelessly through the night. At the entrances of Skull Star, a large number of detectors fly out every day.

Since the war a few years ago, they have been tightening their layout, using the resources of the entire Skull Star to produce detectors at the fastest speed possible, monitoring every location in the Skull Star Domain. This way, once war breaks out, they can utilize their geographical advantages to the fullest.

Additionally, aside from producing detectors, Skull Star is also frantically producing a new type of weapon, the ‘Hive.’

The Hive uses unmanned Mechanical Bodies as its lead, equipped with fusion destructive weapons. The power of the explosion can even threaten Advanced Starships. This is a weapon evolved from the Imperial era, but it has a fatal flaw: it’s difficult to approach the opponent’s starships in space combat. In large-scale battles, the attack and defense of large fleets are terrifying, making it very difficult for this weapon to get close, as it can be blasted from afar and destroyed.

Therefore, to detonate the ‘Hive,’ a prerequisite is necessary—to be able to reach the opponent’s fleet to create a strong enough threat; otherwise, it’s futile.

This weapon is also used in long-range attack methods, but the opponent’s fleet won’t stand still for you to hit.

The larger the fleet, the more terrifying the overall defense in large-scale combat. The defense lines they create are impregnable and hard to break. While their defense is strong, their attack power is also formidable.

Xu Mo and his team are now at the military factory checking production intensity, with Old Stark in charge of Skull Star’s production work.

Skull Star mainly engages in the production of various armed equipment, selling to all major planets, while also producing defense equipment for the Skull Star Domain. As for Starships, Skull Star has Starship factories, but their primary focus is not on production; rather, more on repairing and installing equipment.

The large-scale production of Starships mainly occurs at the Byron Star base. Now, the star domain Byron Star is in fully cooperates with all major planets, having already transformed into a giant planetary factory, with extremely mature supporting facilities already in place, and technological development advancing rapidly.

It can be said that since Gaia and Star Ring brought technology to Byron Star, Byron Star is undergoing drastic changes daily.

Over the years, the Byron Star now is completely different from back then.

Even so, it is still far from enough. They must make people assume that Skull Star is their headquarters base, delaying the opponent from discovering Byron Star’s existence; otherwise, once the opponent attacks Byron Star, it will be catastrophic—a true blow to the foundation.

“Based on our production capacity, how strong can the destructive power of the ‘Hive’ weapons produced during this period be?” Xu Mo asked.

“The biggest problem with Hive weapons is that they cannot explode close by. If the Hive weapons we produce can all detonate in the center of the opponent’s area, it would be tantamount to tens of thousands of space weapons directly hitting the opposing fleet,” Old Stek replied. “Enough to threaten a large fleet. But that’s theoretical. In reality, when Hive weapons are fired, it’s no different from the mass firing of weapons from a Space Station. The opponent’s fleet could sweep through and annihilate them entirely.”

“Any suggestions?” Xu Mo asked Benjamin.

“Only you can do it.” Benjamin shrugged, and Xu Mo immediately understood his meaning.

“Control the opponent’s starships?” Xu Mo said.

“Yes.” Benjamin nodded. Only by controlling the opponent’s starships and approaching the opponent’s main fleet can the objective be achieved.

But the premise is first to disperse the opponent, and when returning, not be detected and be able to enter the core area of the fleet. In this way, the difficulty of operation remains extremely high.

“If a large fleet unfortunately arrives at Skull Star Domain on this occasion and Skull Star cannot withstand the outcome, there will only be one,” Xu Mo murmured, his expression suddenly becoming extremely grave, as did the others.

They have no doubt that once the opponent’s fleet locates the position of Skull Star, they will launch a destructive attack that will completely destroy Skull Star.

The Lin, Church, and Saint Tiya Star, they will not allow Old Empire era teams to have bases and develop rapidly, especially with the Emperor’s descendants present.

Old Stark, Benjamin, and the others remained silent. If breached, they would be deemed the traitors of Skull Star.

With the fleet, they still have the chance to escape; however, for the entire Skull Star, the billion people simply cannot escape and will be destroyed along with the planet.

Hope it won’t come to that.

“Xu Mo.”

At this moment, Gaia called Xu Mo. He replied, “Mr. Gaia.”

“Latest battle status: The Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain are about to arrive, ready to launch a preliminary deterrent attack on the opponent-controlled star domain planets,” Gaia said.

“Hmm, wishing everything goes smoothly,” Xu Mo replied.

After the meeting of the day, the Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain immediately led their fleets to set out, using terrifying fleet resources, nearly mobilizing the forces of the entire star domain to invade.

This action must force the opponent to withdraw troops from the O’Brian Republic; once the O’Brian Republic and Skull Star Domain are breached, the Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain will essentially be lambs to the slaughter, unable even to connect with the Abyss, and the Abyss might not necessarily ally with them.

A few days later, war erupted first in the Saint Tiya Star and the Emperor Star Domain controlled by the Lin family. The two major forces initially destroyed each other’s military planets, diminishing parts of the power of Saint Tiya Star and Emperor Star, and continued advancing toward their core areas. The ultimate attack target seemed to be Emperor Star and Saint Tiya Star.

……

At the edge of Emperor River, in the universe, a fleet was grandly exercising, all marked with the Cross Sword insignia, a fleet belonging to the Church.

In one flagship, a senior elder of the Church, Arthur, with Destructive Realm powers personally stationed on the flagship. However, he was not the Supreme Commander; the Church fleet was independent, with its own commander, who had full authority over the battlefield.

“The territories of Lin family and Saint Tiya Star have been attacked. Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain did not choose to support the O’Brian Republic but instead launched a massive invasion. On the other side, the Lin family and Saint Tiya Star realized the opposition would advance all the way, so they chose to withdraw a part of their fleet power for defense.”

Commander spoke, frowning: “I’m more worried that we might also face attacks over there.”

Although it hasn’t happened yet.

“They don’t have that much fleet power.” Arthur responded coldly.

“Abyss has not shown up yet.” Commander replied, Arthur frowned. If it were Abyss, indeed troublesome.

Abyss Fleet came from extremely distant areas; they couldn’t even counterattack the opponent’s nest.

“Switch targets?” Arthur said: “Attack Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain.”

“Such large-scale military actions can’t be kept absolutely secret, and even if successful, in dire straits, Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain might fight back desperately, while Abyss, O’Brian Republic, and Skull Star Domain could gain at our expense.” Commander replied, worrying if the opposition would spare nothing to attack our main star.

“What do you think?” Arthur asked.

“Our five major fleets alliance army, more than enough to deal with the O’Brian Republic, could retract part of their powers, prep for defense, leveraging geographical advantages and fleet quantity, even possibly annihilate the opponent.” Commander said: “Now it’s about choosing, how much power to retract.”

“You decide.” Arthur said.

Commander revealed a thoughtful look, just then, signal received in the command room, a voice transmitted: “Abyss launches massive invasion.”

Just recently, Abyss Fleet massively invaded a church-controlled planet.

Arthur and Commander looked grim, now, they seemed to have no choice left.

“Connect Lin family, Saint Tiya Star signals.” Commander spoke.

Main ship of Kales Empire Fleet.

Marshal Roson Chris heard the message from the Church commander, his face didn’t look pleasant.

Successively invaded were the several major forces, with Lin family and Saint Tiya Star already starting fleet withdrawals. Now, the Church also plans to withdraw part troops, currently only Odyssey Star Domain and them haven’t encountered attacks.

But in reality, they’ve received news, Kales Empire Universe Star Domain already spotted traces of local fleets, and not just in one place.

With forces withdrawing part of fleets amidst attacks, should they still leave most powers to attack the O’Brian Republic?

Roson Chris was hesitant.

“Take down the O’Brian Republic, five alliance armies, part fleet should be enough.” Roson Chris said, opponent’s withdrawal prompts them to be on guard.

Thinking this, Roson Chris also issued partial withdrawal orders, preparing mentally for double-front battles.

Even with partial withdrawal here, alliance army still enough to seize the O’Brian Republic, Empire side assures not major losses, opportunity to counterattack opponent.

Odyssey Star Domain was the last to decide withdrawal, discovering Abyss Corps within their territories, quickly engaged in attack.

A grand scale war erupts first in Emperor Star Domain, Saint Tiya Star Domain, church-controlled domains, catching fire heading toward opponents’ main stars, grand scale, successive military planets paralyzed and overtaken.

Meanwhile, the five alliance army powers have finally entered into O’Brian Republic’s territory, aiming for a swift decisive battle, heading straight for the O’Brian Republic Capital Star.

Seize the O’Brian Republic Capital Star, end the war.
