The Seventh Base

Chapter 850: Chapter 160: Shadows (Part 2)

He was already the youngest Major General of Lucas Star, and this operation would once again bring him great merit and take him to the next level.

“Everyone ready, attack Odin Mountain Star.” General Gilson ordered, and the warship entered Odin Mountain Star.

“The Star System Alliance fleet has entered Odin Mountain Star.” A voice came from the main ship control room, where Soto and Sorey were also present, feeling uneasy.

Both sides clashed on Odin Mountain Star, and its citizens suffered the most.

“The battle has begun, the Mandala Star fleet is prepared and left a garrison fleet, as if they knew someone would invade, launching an attack at the first moment.” Another voice came, the cruiser was at the forefront, monitoring the war in real-time.

“How many large warships did the Star System Alliance fleet deploy?” Xu Mo asked.

“More than fifty,” the other side responded, “and they are all elite warships, likely the combined fleet of the Seven Executive Member Stars.”

“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded. The Star System Alliance’s Seven Executive Member Stars hid a powerful surprise strike force, more than fifty elite warships, likely making it very difficult for Mandala Star’s defensive forces to withstand.

“When should we strike?” Soto asked.

“Wait until the battle nears its end,” Xu Mo said. “If we go now, our power is not even as strong as the Star System Alliance’s fleet. If the opponent counterattacks, it would be very disadvantageous for us.”

The Star System Alliance has more than fifty warships, and the overall quality of the warships is superior to theirs. After all, these more than fifty warships are the elite of the Seven Executive Member Stars.

For now, wait.

Wait until the other side approaches the end of the battle, then seize the opportunity.

“Currently, the Star System Alliance fleet has the upper hand.”

Hearing this, Xu Mo’s eyebrows furrowed. He was thinking that if the Star System Alliance took Odin Mountain Star, it would not be convenient for them to take action. Should they directly attack the Star System Alliance fleet? This was obviously unwise.

The outcome he most wanted to see was that both sides were evenly matched, so they could come in to finish off, or the Star System Alliance fleet could be defeated.

Of course, if the Star System Alliance ultimately won, their fleet could go to support the decisive battlefield, and they could secretly incorporate Odin Mountain Star’s fleet.

“Captain Xu Mo, another fleet is arriving. It’s the Mandala Star reinforcement fleet headed towards Odin Mountain Star.”

“So quickly?” Xu Mo showed a strange expression.

If it’s a detachment fleet, the timing is off, unless the other side knew in advance.

Or perhaps…

Xu Mo thought of a possibility, blinking his eyes. Could it be a fleet coming to deal with them?

The Star System Alliance fleet took the blame for them?

“Stay hidden,” Xu Mo continued to remind. In this great opportunity, they naturally couldn’t expose themselves.

Let the battle rage on, the more intense, the better.

On Odin Mountain Star, the Star System Alliance fleet almost took down Mandala Star’s defenses, but at that moment, a fleet suddenly appeared behind them, launching a direct attack.

“How did the Mandala Star fleet return so quickly? Did someone leak the information?” General Gilson was puzzled on the main ship. The support speed shouldn’t be so fast.

Moreover, he had received news from that side that a decisive battle had already started, so why was there a fleet returning for support?

“Disperse,” Gilson ordered, and immediately the fleet scattered to distance and counterattack.

Over the capital of Odin Mountain Star, a terrifying war raged continuously, with extremely fierce assaults.

And on the outskirts of Odin Mountain Star, there was a fleet quietly watching, like a Hunter in the starry sky, ready to hunt at any moment.

In this battle, the Star System Alliance fleet was not weaker than the opponent. They even had an advantage in the number of warships, but being attacked from both front and back, plus the ion battleship’s attacks, they found themselves in a highly unfavorable situation, with even the main ship under threat.

The support warships dispatched a few Divine Shield warships at the front to draw fire. Unable to break through for a long period, they suffered a significant loss of warships in the process.

“General Gilson, at this rate, we’re all going to stay here. What should we do?” A voice came from the main ship; Gilson’s eyes turned dark.

“Fight to the death. Either destroy the opponent, or we’re left here. Choosing retreat now will lead to even more miserable deaths; fighting gives a sliver of hope. Don’t entertain any thoughts of luck,” Gilson said.

His voice had a tone of determination, cutting off any thoughts of retreat for some, forcing them to continue attacking fiercely.

On the outskirts of Odin Mountain Star, Xu Mo and his fleet were ready to join the fight at any moment.

At this moment on Odin Mountain Star, a large-scale battle was being fought with dozens of warships involved, making Xu Mo’s heart race, curious about how much gain there would be this time.

The brutal battle erupted within Odin Mountain Star, and one warship after another was destroyed. Many lost their combat power and began to leave the battlefield.

At this time, the Star System Alliance fleet could no longer hold out, and someone began ordering a retreat.

After all, it was an Alliance Army, so even with unified command, they were not entirely cohesive. Each major starship still had its own commander.

“It’s over.” Seeing this scene, Gilson knew it was over. This operation was a complete failure.

“Break through, get out.” Gilson ordered; now, the only option was to retreat.

Outside in space by Odin Mountain Star.

“Captain, some warships are headed this way; they seem to be damaged.” A voice came from the command room.

“Wait until they enter, then jam the signals and capture them,” Xu Mo ordered.

“Understood.” Everyone complied.

Soon, two warships entered the space area. Just as they entered, they found their signals intercepted.

Then, one warship after another interfered with their signals, turning the warship commanders pale.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

In this space, there was still another fleet. So, who captured their warships before? Was it the Star System Alliance fleet or this fleet?

The already damaged warships naturally couldn’t engage in combat; starting a battle would be courting death. They chose to surrender, all harboring hopes that if the Mandala Star fleet defeated the Star System Alliance, they would bring them back.

One by one, warships entered their encirclement and were captured.

Unbeknownst to them, Xu Mo’s fleet had captured over a dozen warships.

After capturing the warships, their first task was to control the personnel, strip off their Armor, and with Superpower Equipment, against flesh and blood, even if the other side had a high Source Power Level, it did not matter.

All the members of Xu Mo’s fleet wore Superpower Equipment.

The ongoing fierce battle went unnoticed by both sides, getting increasingly brutal, with both suffering tremendous losses. Of the more than fifty Star System Alliance warships, only about a dozen were left, and they were all damaged.

Mandala Star’s side suffered heavy losses too but still held an advantage, wildly hunting down the Star System Alliance warships.

Xu Mo felt a bit of heartache; so many warships were destroyed.

But in such a large battle, capture was not feasible; they could only destroy.

At that moment, Gilson led a few warships to break out of the encirclement, heading out of Odin Mountain Star, while a few Mandala Star warships chased closely behind. During the chase, a few more warships were destroyed, leaving only Gilson’s main ship surviving the escape.

Two warships chased behind, continuously firing at Gilson’s main ship.

In space, a fleet moved with the enemy’s escape route, like a dark hunter hiding in the shadows.

“Boom…”

The main ship of Gilson had already rushed into space and was still moving forward. Behind him, a main gun had fired, hitting the warship and causing it to shake, but it continued forward.

The three warships were engaged in a space chase.

“Operation failed.” General Gilson sent a message to the Star System Alliance Headquarters. But just after the message was sent, before receiving any reply, he noticed the signal suddenly cut off.

“What’s going on?” Gilson frowned, though the ship was still advancing, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

He gazed outside, into the deep dark space, like a dark mouth opening to swallow them whole.

In the next moment, General Gilson saw a mighty fleet appear, surrounding them.
