Chapter 1772: Crush the Big Bai Fleet First!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Let’s begin!” Wan Guqing’s eyes stopped on the raging Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on Bai Kaixin’s chest. A long while later, he said gravely and solemnly, “The federation will win!”

“The federation will win!” Bai Kaixin on the light beam saluted and left. The picture of the bridge behind was soon twisted, with mottled rainbow swirls popping up, which was an amazing scene when the long-distance, real-time communication was seriously affected by the twisting space ripples.

In that moment, the information streams that contained boundless important data went one step forward. They rippled the stars and rushed at the highest speed in the four-dimensional space. Transferring and being accelerated at the Grand-Unified Spiritual Nexus Information Processing Center, they smoothly arrived in the Flying Star Sector where the main force of the Burning Prairie was.

That data established an invisible bridge of wormholes among the Flying Star Sector, Hundred Flowers City, and the Heaven’s Origin Sector. Countless coordinates, directions, and sailing route and space gate measurements were transmitted, recorded, and processed within the moment.

Deep inside the Flying Star Sector, the first mixed team of the Burning Prairie Fleet, including a thousand state-of-the-art starships including the flagship, was immediately covered in hazy light mists. The mists grew brighter and brighter, almost devouring every starship, before they were lengthened into sharp arrows of light that were about to be shot into the most important field at the life-and-death moment!

Compared with the splendid No. 1 space gate, the other two space gates around the main planet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector were relatively small and of a lower scale. The number of starships that they could navigate at one time was smaller, too.

Moreover, in order to deceive the spy network established by the Imperium that was everywhere in the federation, the Burning Prairie Fleet could not have gathered all the troops beforehand.

Therefore, the first mixed fleet to be teleported was all the elites of the branch fleets. They were the essence of the essence.

Their mission was the same as the Big Bai Fleet’s, which was to defend the space gates and cover the following troops while they were performing the space jump.

As long as all the three space gates were under the federation’s control, the Black Wind Fleet would be nothing more than fish in a boiling pot. With the collective defense of the first mixed fleet and the Big Bai Fleet, it was impossible for the Black Wind Fleet to seize the No. 2 and No. 3 space gates when only fifty percent of its forces had been teleported. When the main troops on the federation’s side arrived, the Black Wind Fleet would be completely screwed!

Therefore, when furious space ripples were raised around the No. 2 and No. 3 space gates, and the gravitation probe devices detected that objects of enormous masses were jumping out of the void, inside the Defense Counsel of the Federation, from Wan Guqing to Guo Chunfeng, and from Jin Xinyue who was waving blades on the light beam or the MPs and experts around whose worry was turning into joy, nobody had any doubt that it was going to be an unprecedented triumph!

…

The Black Wind Fleet, which had been stalled by the Heaven’s Origin Fleet with astonishing tenacity, detected the gravitational changes from the No. 2 and No. 3 space gates, too.

They and the other two space gates happened to be on different sides of the home planet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector. It was difficult to measure the precise mass that caused such gravitational changes over such a long distance.

But it was doubtless that the only objects that would jump to the Heaven’s Origin Sector in an enormous scale at such a moment were the reinforcements of the federation.

On the bridge of Black Swirl, Heiye Ming, having received the emergent report, was not surprised at all. Instead, he took a deep breath before he put on a hideous smile.

“You’re finally here. You must be the most elite vanguards of the Burning Prairie Fleet, mustn’t you?

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The spy network we deployed over ten years has been entirely uprooted and suppressed, too. Jin Xinyue is truly an unreliable skank.

“However, those idiotic barbarians at the edge of the cosmos who do not know how big the universe is really think I, the commander of an expedition army of the invincible Imperium of True Human Beings, will solely wager the hope of victory on a savage detector? That’s truly stupid of them!

“They will never see it coming that my trump card is not Jin Xinyue but Su Changfa, an Immortal Cultivator from the Imperium of True Human Beings and one of our own!

“Right now, the most elite vanguards of the Burning Prairie Fleet are about to arrive. As long as we devour the best troops of the best troops and then occupy the Heaven’s Origin Sector, the Star Glory Federation will be fish on the chopping block!”

Heiye Ming sneered. He glanced at the bottom left corner on the ocean of dense light beams around the mainframe crystal processor unintentionally. In the corner, there was a small, unattractive light beam, which was so eclipsed that it was about to disappear when drowned in the ever-changing war data.

It was the status of the brainwaves and biophysical features of Lu Qingchen, Su Changfa’s disciple as well as the liaison whom he had sent out.

“Should I set him free?”

Heiye Ming pondered for a moment but abandoned the idea. After all, the war was basically settled now. He could always release the monster when the battle came to a brief halt.

Although Su Changfa was much more dependable as a compatriot from the Imperium and an avid believer of the true path of immortality than Jin Xinyue, a demon from desolate lands that he had never met before…

Heiye Ming’s cautious nature made him unwilling to trust anyone completely. Even this time, he had performed minor adjustments on the battle plan that Su Changfa had sent over through Lu Qingchen in advance.

The most trustworthy person for anyone was themself. Heiye Ming believed in nothing but his own capabilities!

Far behind the Black Wind Fleet, in the place where they jumped out at the beginning, Heiye Ming’s second troop ripped apart the void, presenting an enormous outline on the dark universe that looked like black velvet.

However, a lot of the curves that constituted the outline did not appear to be long, graceful starships but were more like—

“Report!”

An advisor stepped forward quickly and spoke to Heiye Ming. “The sixteenth Deep Sky Fleet on the enemy’s side is accelerating toward our rear, trying to attack us from the back with the Heaven’s Origin Fleet in the front!”

“Attacking us from both sides? Who do they think they are?” Heiye Ming chuckled. “The Heaven’s Origin Fleet is about to be completely shredded by us. The sixteenth Deep Sky Fleet—the so-called Big Bai Fleet—is nothing more than a lightweight, rapid assault fleet. Their commander is an insignificant person who only knows guerilla warfare. The crew members are also rabble that are better at robbing than fighting.

“Before the first attack groups of the Burning Prairie Fleet complete their space jump, let’s finish the Big Bai Fleet. Blow them to smithereens from their skin to their bones!”

…

In Hundred Flowers City, deep inside the Spiriters’ Realm, red leaves were falling, and furious fire was burning the sky. The paradise a moment ago had turned into the goriest slaughterhouse.

A bunch of soldiers in ancient armor rode high horses into the village like locusts, breaking the serenity of the place that had lasted a thousand years within a moment.

The old were burnt. The young were stabbed with spears. The children were trampled by the hooves. The women’s miserable cries were rising into the clouds. But the hideous laughter of the soldiers was even louder than the cries.

The scroll painted with blood and fire was unfolded in front of Li Yao’s eyes.

A woman whose clothes were a mess with a baby in her arms ran toward him in tears, screaming, followed by an animalistic soldier on a horse.

The soldier grinned and dashed forward, holding a spear in his hands. He was about to stab both the woman and her child.

Li Yao could not stand it any longer. Gritting his teeth, he jumped up and snatched the spear before it pierced through the woman’s chest and the baby’s skull. Then, he jabbed the spear backward and nailed the soldier into the ground from his horse!

“Gulu! Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!”

The soldier was pinned to the ground in a twisted posture. His arms and legs were still struggling, and weird sounds were echoing from his throat. His bloodshot eyes were a bit frozen at the beginning, but they were spinning quickly again a moment later.

In an inhuman posture, he plucked himself from the long spear inch by inch while vomiting tremendous blood. His hideous face melted like a candle only to condense into Professor Mo Xuan’s face again!

“Why did you save her?” Professor Mo Xuan, in the soldier’s armor, with a giant hole through his chest, gazed at Li Yao. “If you believe that everything here is false and virtual, just data and algorithms, why did you bother to save them, those worthless Deviant Spirits?”

Behind Li Yao, the woman who was simulated with data tripped over herself in the meadow. She seemed to have broken her feet, but she was still holding her baby in her arms tight, as if she could really protect the child that was also simulated with data with her weak body.

Behind Professor Mo Xuan, it could be seen through the enormous hole in his chest that similar cruel tragedies were going on in the burning village, where the soldiers were slaughtering and savaging in the hell on earth.

Li Yao had never been more outraged before.

Even when he saw the ancestors of human beings, who were developed by the Pangu Clan for the purpose of ‘tools’, and the inhuman ‘Three Fundamental Laws’, he had never sensed such intense evil!

“You are defiling the most beautiful feelings in the world. You are defiling the proud name of ‘human being’ itself!” Clenching his fists, Li Yao gnashed his teeth. “For you, love, friendship, compassion, and all other precious emotions, what are they exactly? Are they tools that can be randomly simulated with data and algorithms? You unpardonable lunatic!”

“Don’t forget that it was you who destroyed the peaceful world, Peach Blossom Paradise, first. I am merely showing you what this place will look like after it is completely destroyed!” Professor Mo Xuan laughed hideously. “If you claim that everything here is false and virtual, however many old people, women, and children are killed here, that will be nothing more than a change of some data. Is that worth all your fury?

“Otherwise, even you have to admit that the insignificant data changes in an illusionary world are also enough to cause the most real emotional reactions and that the village that is being destroyed, and the mother and child that are being saved in front of you, are real to some extent, don’t you?”
