The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1298: Chapter 57: Deception

Day by day, time passed.

The war in outer space outside the O’Brian Republic Capital Star was extremely brutal, with terrifying casualties every day.

All combat-capable fleets of the O’Brian Republic were gathered at the Capital Star, coordinating with the planetary space defense system, struggling to hold on. Yet, even so, the casualties remained terrifying as the opposing side completely controlled the initiative, constantly adjusting attack strategies.

They even captured the planets surrounding the O’Brian Republic Capital Star, fully controlled them, and used them as supply bases to repair damaged warships.

Meanwhile, the Capital Star of the Republic became an isolated planet, constantly at risk of being breached. Once the outer defense system is broken, the O’Brian Republic Capital Star would be completely exposed to the opponent’s attacks, which would be fatal.

Therefore, suppressed unrest surged once more, causing massive turmoil within the planet. The Transcendents of the Republic needed to support space operations while maintaining order on the Capital Star, already finding it overwhelming.

Panic spread as order continued to collapse.

Many top Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple also went to the battlefield, but under large fleet operations, the role of Transcendents was limited; even those at the Destroyer Level dared not rashly join the battlefield with their flesh and blood.

A round of salvo from a large fleet could cause a planet to collapse and be destroyed. Hitting the Destroyer would be equally fatal.

Unless the Destroyer could get close to the opponent’s Starship and fight inside the ship, but in such large fleet operations, there’s little chance for that. They engage in long-range strikes from very far away.

Simultaneously, elsewhere in the O’Brian Republic, a fleet of thousands of warships traveled mightily through space, with a terrifying lineup, including nearly a hundred Advanced Starships.

This fleet was heading towards a certain direction, with their target being the Skull Star Domain.

Moreover, this fleet was also a United Fleet.

Among them were fleets from the Church and the Kales Empire.

Years ago, they lost a fleet’s power in the Skull Star Domain, with the entire army wiped out, and a person at the Destroyer Level from the Church went missing.

According to the messages relayed from the last war, the Skull Star side led by Xu Mo and Gaia also has hundreds of warships, not weak in strength. That allowed them to use their geographic advantage in the Skull Star Domain to annihilate their fleets.

However, this time, they won’t give the other side any chance.

“The Skull Star Domain is approaching.” On one of the main ships of this fleet, a figure stood and displayed the map and information on a screen, enlarging the overview star map and some information of the Skull Star Domain.

“The Skull Star Domain is an undeveloped star domain by the Republic. The original inhabitants were possibly a group of natives, who later developed an interstellar pirate army here, likely the predecessor of Xu Mo and Gaia’s fleet. After they took control, they used it as a base to develop, probably renovating the Skull Star.”

The person explained, “There are dense planets and giant rocks in this star domain. We can’t jump, so we can only conduct a carpet search using signals, but this takes a lot of time. Therefore, before that, we agreed to destroy all celestial bodies in the Skull Star Domain during the search process, pushing through until they find the Skull Star.”

“Then let’s begin the action.” The Commander said, looking at the screen with a murderous intent in his eyes.

This time, where could Xu Mo and Gaia go?

Even if they ran, the base was still there. Destroying the base would make them take at least decades to build another base.

In the development process, besides technology being essential, primitive accumulation is also crucial. Starting from scratch again is very time-consuming.

The mighty fleet directly entered the Skull Star Domain.

A beam of laser fired, causing an explosion in the distance, as a detector was discovered and directly destroyed.

As the detector was destroyed, Skull Star immediately received the information.

The five major Alliance Fleets had arrived at the Skull Star Domain, and they captured footage of the fleet.

When Xu Mo received the footage, he was still on the road.

He departed the moment the opponents entered the O’Brian Republic, so his time was naturally slower, but by now, he had already left the O’Brian Republic area, entered the Emperor River, and was heading toward the direction of Midgard Star.

Midgard Star is located in the central region of the Emperor River, home of the Church headquarters Panassa Mountain Temple, and the Holy Light City is situated on the planet.

At this moment, a great battle was also erupting outside Midgard Star.

The Abyss Fleet left a few fleets in the Odyssey Star Domain to deceive and confuse the opponent, making the Odyssey Star Domain fleet afraid to rashly support others. Most of the Abyss Fleet’s power was attacking the Church-ruled star domain and had even launched rounds of ferocious attacks on the headquarters Midgard Star.

However, as the headquarters of the Church, Midgard Star was not so easy to breach, and centering on Midgard Star, forces from many Church-controlled planets were continuously rushing to the battlefield to provide support.

The battle here was becoming increasingly fierce, intensifying with time.

At the same time, similar situations were occurring on Saint Tiya Star.

After a round of attacks by the Lin family in the Coriade Star Domain, they deployed some fleet powers to roam around. The main army retreated and converged with Tyr Star Domain to launch the fiercest attack on Saint Tiya Star, forcing it to withdraw its forces.

Currently, all the known strongest cosmic forces are caught in the flames of war.

For this situation, those cosmic forces who initially attended the Asgard meeting are secretly delighted. They wish these top forces would fight even more fiercely, ideally resulting in mutual destruction or even annihilation, so that a new order could be born, giving them a chance to rise through seizing the opportunity.

Therefore, they are very willing to watch this grand cosmic war unfold. They hope this war lasts longer and becomes more brutal.

Meanwhile, these warring forces are racing against time. Whoever can seize the opponent’s main star first will gain absolute dominance in this war, securing a strategic advantage.

As time progresses, the battles in the outer space of the O’Brian Republic’s capital star turned out to be the most brutal.

In these days, the O’Brian Republic has lost nearly half of its starships. Even if this war ends now, the Republic will still suffer severe damage, unable to recover in the short term. However, this brutal war has not ended; instead, it is escalating with increasingly fierce attacks, and the space defense lines show signs of collapsing.

Continuing to fight risks a collapse at any moment.

The fleet heading to Skull Star Domain has also advanced into the depths of the star domain. They no longer know how many Celestial Bodies have been destroyed, and anything that appears in their signal range is directly annihilated, pushing forward determinedly as if they really intend to level the Skull Star Domain.

Skull Star, Gaia not only did not order a counterattack, but instead commanded Skull Star to shut down all machinery and large energy stations, cutting off all signals that can be severed. This will weaken signals to the greatest extent, making it harder for the opponent to detect and requiring closer proximity.

Meanwhile, Gaia issued commands to the Mechanical Bodies stationed in the star domain’s uninhabited Celestial Bodies, releasing strong signals, using all means necessary to slow the opponent’s pace.

Xu Mo had already arrived in the Midgard Star Domain.

This war had reached a critical survival moment.

In the church-controlled star domain, there is a planet named Asel Star.

At this moment, the fleet from Asel Star was sailing through space, heading toward Midgard Star, having just assembled another fleet to assist Midgard.

“Detected a small starship.” A voice sounded in the main ship’s command room.

“It’s fleeing.”

“It should be an Abyss Reconnaissance Ship.”

“Locked; the other side refused to connect.”

“Attack directly; destroy it.”

After a brief conversation, a strong light pierced the universe, striking the small starship, instantly tearing the starship apart and disintegrating it in space.

After the starship disintegrated, a figure helplessly floated in space, like it had fallen.

“Energy signal detected is weak; the opponent’s Battle Armor suffered fatal damage, yet there are life signs. Continue attacking?”

“Send a few people over to check it out; if there are no issues, bring it back alive,” Commander ordered. If it was an Abyss reconnaissance officer, perhaps they could obtain some intelligence about the Abyss.

They currently have very little intelligence regarding the Abyss.

Soon, several figures were fully armed, dressed in Battle Armor, leaving the starship and heading toward the floating figure, while the fleet continued to lock on to the area. Just the slightest movement, and they would destroy it immediately.

The group approached cautiously, keeping their weapons trained on the figure. Someone cursed the Commander silently, thinking about how they were assigned such a task, and if the opponent was feigning death and was a powerful Transcendent, wouldn’t they be in trouble?

Killing would be much simpler. They send us to risk it all for intelligence; what a bunch of bastards.

“Boom…” Just when the thought crossed his mind, a terrifying spiritual power invaded, instantly piercing his mind domain, and took control completely.

He and another person stepped forward to inspect the figure and then used a Mechanical Body to relay the message, “He’s still alive, not too many issues.”

“Bring him back.” The other person responded, then the two dragged that figure back to the starship.

At that time, the figure still lay quietly, and it was indeed Xu Mo.

And far away, there was a large starship, the Base Number quietly suspended in space. It was it that had captured the other’s trace, and then Xu Mo went hunting.
