The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1299: Chapter 58: Surprise Attack

The war in the O’Brian Republic is extremely brutal.

The Republic’s space defense system is on the brink of collapse, with numerous breaches appearing, as the five major alliance armies launch a massive offensive.

Now, their main base is also under great threat, especially Saint Tiya Star and Midgard Star, where the war is at a crucial moment. They must make a decisive push to completely destroy the O’Brian Republic’s defenses and conquer the Republic.

Large fleets begin to advance, and under the concentrated fire, the Republic’s defense line continues to collapse. In one area, a huge breach appears, as that section of the defense system has been completely destroyed and the energy shield dissipates, exposing the surface of the planet.

The order on the capital star is on the verge of collapse, in chaos, everyone wants to survive, but they know no one can escape. Once the planet is breached, they might all die.

On the planet’s surface, countless people look up to the sky, accompanied by a violent explosion sound. Looking up, they can already see the explosion scenes in the sky, a terrifying scene covering a vast area that can be seen by them.

“The capital star has been breached,” someone murmurs in a low voice, feeling a bit desperate.

“The planetary surface defense system has been fully activated. All citizens, please maintain order and do not panic.” In different regions, the voice is transmitted from every corner. The Republic capital star has entered a wartime state, and government statements can be directly delivered to every corner.

However, it seems no one believes in the government’s voice anymore. The explosions in the sky continue, and the capital star’s space defense system is collapsing step by step. It won’t take long before it’s completely breached, and then the attack would directly hit the planet.

Mystic God Temple.

Adela Palace Master and others are equally anxious. They all know the space defense system is about to give in.

“Mystic God, how much longer can we hold on?” Adela Palace Master asked.

“Within a day, the outer space defense system will completely collapse,” Mystic God replied.

“How long can the capital star’s defense system hold?” Adela Palace Master asked again.

“The capital star’s defense system is mainly the space defense system. The power on the planet’s surface is hard to resist large-scale fleet attacks. Compared to defense, the attack capability is even stronger,” the virtual voice continued.

“So, the capital star is about to collapse.” Adela Palace Master sighed. If the O’Brian Republic’s capital star is breached, it would symbolize the collapse of the Republic.

“Mystic God, do you have any solutions?” Adela Palace Master inquired.

Mystic God did not answer.

Skull Star.

Gaia and others looked at the screen. The probes launched from different places in the Skull Star Domain continuously transmitted information back.

Now, the opposing fleet is not too far from their location. Even though they previously used other strong signal devices to send signals from other celestial bodies, it only confused the opponent for a short time. After that, the opponent just ignored it and proceeded according to the established steps.

“According to the current situation, conservatively, within seven days, Skull Star may be discovered, and even, the time might be shorter,” Gaia said. “Let all Skull Star fleet members prepare for battle as planned.”

Besides, messages have just been received from the O’Brian Republic’s capital star, saying that the Republic has almost reached its limit, and the defense system is collapsing.

This war is unraveling just as he predicted, neither side able to withstand the other’s attacks.

If ultimately unfeasible, he would choose to lead the fleet to withdraw rather than make futile sacrifices.

“Send a message to the Coriade Star Domain that, at most three days, both the O’Brian Republic and Skull Star will be breached,” Gaia said to the person beside him.

This is also the final notice to the opponent. Once O’Brian is breached, Emperor River, the O’Brian Republic’s side, and the Kales Empire will form an encircling force against the Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain. At that time, there will be no turning back, and the Abyss might not cooperate with them.

Therefore, upon receiving our news, both the Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Star Domain should launch an all-out attack at any cost.

As for the Abyss, he couldn’t determine what Abyss would do.

According to the latest news he received, Abyss is already launching a strong attack against the Church.

Last, Xu Mo has also reached near the Midgard Star.

Moreover, the base can directly and mutually communicate with the Abyss.

This is all they could do. If it still ends in failure, they can only retreat to the Byron Star base.

…

Midgard Star, strong attacks are also erupting in space.

At the space base, a Church commander looked grim, watching those frantically attacking fleets coldly, “Abyss, this group of madmen, are attacking regardless of cost, not counting casualties.”

“Abyss occupies a corner, and perhaps they don’t care at all. I heard Lin Shou is extremely stubborn, why would he care about the life and death of fleet members,” the person beside him said. “But thinking of capturing Midgard, they must be dreaming.”

“Hmm, do not disturb His Holiness the Pope, or we all will be sinners.”

“Rest assured, the Abyss shall not break through the space base’s defenses. His Holiness the Pope can peacefully contemplate; as for these sinners, God will grant them death.”

“What are they up to?”

At this moment, the Commander noticed some unusual movements within the Abyss Fleet and frowned.

Outside Midgard, beams of destruction continually fired into the depths of space. But then, the massive Abyss fleet began to advance en masse, accelerating while attacking simultaneously.

The vast fleet surged forward at full speed, charging toward the Church’s space base, led by a colossal fleet whose starships were exceptionally large, shielding against the firepower launched by Midgard’s space station.

“Attention all units, the Abyss Fleet is invading at any cost. Do not let them get too close—annihilate any approaching starships.” The Commander of the space station issued a death order.

From the side, numerous starships from various places providing support joined the battle, launching attacks against the Abyss Fleet.

At this moment, a fleet Commander contacted the space station and said, “I am Colonel Rhine of the Asel Fleet. The Abyss Fleet’s attack is fierce; we request permission to enter the space station to attack.”

“Colonel Rhine, sir, cooperate with the space station operations from now on. Your mission is to intercept the starship marked with the coordinates.” The space station relayed the information along with the coordinates.

“Yes.” After receiving the order, Colonel Rhine launched a fierce attack on the specified starship, which was soon annihilated.

Nevertheless, Colonel Rhine soon received the next combat mission and continued to fight in space.

As the battle escalated, the number of starships in Colonel Rhine’s fleet dwindled, and the flagship also sustained considerable damage.

“Base, the flagship shield is less than ten percent remaining, requesting withdrawal.” Colonel Rhine continued to communicate with the base.

At this time, the intensity of the space battle increased even more.

“Colonel Rhine, please continue to fight.” The base replied with a message as a violent attack struck the starship, depleting the shield to zero; the flagship trembled, seeming unstable, on the verge of collapse.

“The shield is depleted,” Colonel Rhine stated, “Asel Fleet, to protect Midgard, I am proud of you as the fleet Commander—continue fighting.”

The fleet defended tirelessly, continuing to launch attacks.

“Colonel Rhine, permission to land now.” The base’s voice came through, and Colonel Rhine responded, “Understood, ships that have lost combat power withdraw; those that can fight remain to continue the battle.”

Saying this, Colonel Rhine’s starship and Asel Fleet’s flagship headed toward the Midgard space base.

The starships traversed through terrifying space firepower, moving forward, shield open, entering within.

Behind the starships, the Abyss Fleet still attacked madly, as if in a frenzy.

“Honorable Colonel Rhine, your courage is Midgard’s pride.” A mechanical voice transmitted into Colonel Rhine’s starship.

“Serving His Holiness the Pope is my honor,” Colonel Rhine placed a hand on his chest, bowed, and saluted.

The starship began accelerating downward, analogous to a beam of light, faster and faster.

“Colonel Rhine, please decelerate,” the base’s voice warned.

However, it was as though the starship did not hear; its occupants behaved as if deranged, Colonel Rhine’s face contorted while the starship accelerated toward the base—a collision rather than a landing.

“Shoot it down…” Orders were issued from the base as anti-air weapons locked onto the starship, but it was too late.

The starship’s speed was too fast; at this instant, the space base command room was populated by many figures, orchestrating this space warfare. But now, all eyes froze, watching as the starship descended—a halt in time, under their fixed gaze, colliding into the space base.

In that instant, alarms rang throughout the base; an unfathomably terrifying wave of energy erupted from the explosion site, followed by bursts of blinding light.

Centered on the explosion, the space base began to disintegrate, circular shock waves radiating outward, forming a massive luminous entity and continuously expanding, annihilating everything in its path, engulfed in strong light.

The Church starships engaged in battle were stunned, witnessing the space base’s scene—the majestic, golden space base, dazzling with an explosion storm, annihilating everything.

Even the Abyss Fleet members were similarly dumbstruck; clearly, they hadn’t planned for this.

So, what happened?

Only aboard a flagship, the Commander watched everything unfold, standing upright.

Success.
