Chapter 108: A Tree Stands Tall in the Forest
The fleet of the Watcher Civilization did not look particularly large, and strangely enough, there was only one white ship that was one kilometer long.
Its appearance did not look ferocious; it possessed none of the murderous aura a battleship should have, but instead gave off a somewhat gentle and soft temperament.
Well, when Lin Lei saw this battleship, he could only use words typically used to describe women to describe the feeling it gave him.
In terms of speed, it inherited the advantages of the Watcher Civilization. Lin Lei only saw the starry sky outside the window flash, and the starship had already reached its destination—the outer space of the Katzga Star Region.
Abnormal gravitational disturbances in the Katzga Star Region appeared at the edge of the entire Star System, and as time passed, the gravitational disturbances here became more and more intense.
Space in this area was like boiling water, either concave or convex, and the resulting gravitational fluctuations were incomparably chaotic. Lin Lei saw with his own eyes a small celestial body with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers rush into this area, and then silently disintegrate.
“The spaceship begins deconstruction; all combat personnel take your positions in Aggregation Mode!” The captain standing beside Lin Lei gave the order.
All Aostarians executed the order immediately. This main ship, which was one kilometer long, instantly began to disintegrate. Small spaceships less than a hundred meters long separated from the main ship and distributed themselves in space in a certain order.
When the main ship became a white battleship two hundred meters long, there were already fifty battleships in space, making it truly a fleet worthy of the name.
“This is to connect together to perform a Space Jump; otherwise, fifty battleships jumping together would cause spacetime turbulence,” the captain explained to Lin Lei who was standing nearby.
Lin Lei nodded and asked, “Then what can we do?”
Fifty starships of the Watcher Civilization were enough to destroy a Star System. Lin Lei really did not understand why the Star Alliance called an outsider like him here.
“To guard against the unexpected, the number of Dark Remnants has reached a terrifying figure! Sometimes, victory can be achieved through numbers, especially when there is no essential difference in combat power between the two sides. We need you to win a chance for the starships!”
Since the Dark Remnants could kill the warriors of the Watcher Civilization, the Watcher Civilization could not ignore their combat power.
At this time, the gravitational fluctuations here had reached a level that could affect the entire Katzga Star System. In the middle space of the Katzga Star System, a gaseous planet suddenly deviated from its orbit and rushed towards another massive gaseous planet on the periphery, moving faster and faster. If these two collided, the impact on the entire Star System would be catastrophic.
In the inner space of the Katzga Star Region, there was an uncivilized Life Planet; the intelligent life forms on it were still in an agrarian society and were completely powerless against the imminent disaster.
Their planet was also undergoing violent changes, with landslides and ground fissures, and global earthquakes. They could only kneel on the ground and pray, hoping that the gods could help them survive the catastrophe.
“Captain, an unknown object has been detected at the source of the gravitational fluctuations. Our scanners cannot penetrate it.”
The captain looked at the black hole-like object in the holographic screen and began to calmly issue orders: “All starships disperse in an anti-curved pattern and begin adjusting positions for a concentrated attack!”
“Send the situation here to the command console of the War Fortress. If there is an accident, ask them to immediately carry out a destructive strike on this place!”
“All Star Alliance warriors stand by on the periphery of the starships, ready to deal with possible attacks at any time!”
The captain issued orders, and at the same time marked the attack target, beginning to aggregate the power of all starships to carry out a focused strike.
Lin Lei also exited the spaceship with the Star Alliance warriors on board at this time, standing guard on the periphery of the battleships.
“Captain, do you think there is a problem with the guy who just went out?” On the main ship, an Aostarian warrior asked silently.
“It is not what I think, it is Elder Yun. In a moment, all Star Alliance warriors pay attention to keep a distance from him. The Star Alliance will have some measures.” The captain looked at the target with flickering light in front of the starship, and at the same time silently transmitted this news to the hearts of all Aostarian warriors using the mental communication skill.
Not far away, the gravitational fluctuations had already begun to show terrifying spatial tearing phenomena. The entrance to Subspace was revealed from time to time; gravitational fluctuations of this intensity were no less than a small-mass black hole!
Not far away, the two gaseous planets had already crashed together. Both planets were supermassive, and were not far from the critical mass to ignite nuclear fusion. This collision produced a huge energy release, and at the same time, their mass exceeded the critical mass of a lowest-level star.
This newly created star was ignited by the collision energy, instantly becoming a large fireball glowing with red light. A small-mass star was born, forcibly produced at a very fast speed under the control of these strange gravitational fluctuations.
The energy of the fifty starships was about to be fully aggregated. The small starships had already emitted energy to the front end of the main starship, and the main ship began to aggregate it. Once the main starship completed the regulation, it would launch a thunderous strike against the target.
But things happened just as the captain expected; an accident occurred. In the deep starry sky, a thousand black battleships suddenly appeared. As soon as they appeared, the main guns of the starships opened fire towards this side, all of which were super-high-power Subspace attack types.
At the same time, Silver Mechas, like locusts, continuously surged out of these spaceships, pouncing towards the small starships on this side that were preparing to attack the gravitational disturbance source with all their strength.
The Star Alliance captain predicted there would be a sneak attack, but did not expect it to be this fierce.
“Damn it, their battleship main gun attack energy is abnormally high, and they are all first-Dimension Subspace attacks. Transfer all defense energy to the first Dimension!”
In just this moment, a small battleship on the Star Alliance side was destroyed, and the situation of the Mecha Warriors on the periphery was even less optimistic.
These suddenly appearing Silver Mechas all had a type of Will-suppression attack that could not be defended against. As long as these Silver Mechas were not destroyed immediately, the Watcher Warriors would be besieged by dozens, or even hundreds, of Silver Mechas.
The numbers on both sides were intensely asymmetrical; on one side, there were less than ten thousand Watcher Warriors, and on the other side, there were enough Silver Mechas to number over a million. It was also unknown where these Mechas popped out from.
Everyone had to fight against a hundred; at this time, the extraordinary combat power of the Watcher Warriors was revealed.
Everyone switched to super-large-range melee attacks. Most of the warriors dragged an energy weapon hundreds of meters long in their hands, sweeping towards the Silver Mechas as if sweeping garbage.
Although the attack power of these Silver Mechas was very high, their shells were very fragile; basically, they died upon touch.
Although these warriors were suppressed by Will, they still counterattacked based on instinct. For a time, with a number of less than ten thousand, they forcibly blocked the massive tide of Silver Mecha attacks.
Among these warriors, Lin Lei was the most fierce. With his current reaction speed, the Will suppression of these Silver Mechas had no effect on him at all.
And his attack intensity was also very terrifying. The energy whip in his hand, which was nearly five hundred meters long and infused with nearly 50,000 Energy Level intensity energy, was wiping out Silver Mechas with the momentum of sweeping away a thousand armies.
The Star Alliance battleships also gave up their attack on the gravitational disturbance source at the first moment, concentrating their firepower on the attacking black battleships.
Although these white battleships were very small in size, their attack power was not to be underestimated. Every time the full-Dimension energy cannon was fired, it would shoot down an enemy black battleship. Their attacks on the Silver Mechas were even more terrifying; a flash of an energy line would directly sweep out a vacuum channel.
This efficiency of killing, among the Star Alliance warriors present, only Lin Lei’s Source Quality Battle Armor could compare.
The power of the Watcher Civilization’s battleships, having fully entered the counterattack, was very terrifying. Although the enemy had over a thousand battleships, they had no advantage on the battlefield. Instead, they were being suppressed and beaten, nearly a one-sided slaughter.
Lin Lei glanced at the gravitational disturbance source not far away and suddenly felt alert. These guys were simply stalling for time; they were using their lives to exchange for some opportunity for the gravitational disturbance source.
Apparently, the Star Alliance’s main captain also discovered this problem. He immediately reported the situation to the command tower of the War Fortress and quickly received a reply.
“The War Fortress will carry out a super-long-range full-Dimension energy strike on this gravitational disturbance source. Star Alliance battleships must evacuate this place before the energy strike arrives!”
The main captain quickly notified all Star Alliance warriors fighting outside of this news, except for Lin Lei.
“Captain, why?”
“This is the resolution of the Council of Elders. This person is too strong! He is growing rapidly and is not an Aostarian. The Council of Elders sees some kind of potential in him, which is the reason to eliminate him! Everyone must retreat in an orderly manner, and must not let him notice anything unusual!” At this moment, the captain’s voice was unusually cold.
And at this moment, Lin Lei was killing to his heart’s content. Wielding the powerful energy whip all the way, he rushed beside the enemy’s battleship with an unmatched posture and quickly rushed inside.
A few seconds later, this battleship was breached and then exploded, and Lin Lei also locked his target onto the next enemy battleship.
This kind of terrifying combat power was shocking even to the warriors of the Watcher Civilization. One had to know that what Lin Lei breached was not an ordinary spaceship, but a battleship with abnormally powerful protection. To do this, the required attack had to reach a very high level.
“This person, even the Watcher Civilization cannot control. Just looking at his combat power, he indeed needs to be eliminated.” The captain was also deeply shocked. While commanding the Star Alliance side to quietly evacuate the battlefield, he lamented.
