Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1383 - 1076: Enemy Attack
Su Mo sighed slightly and said, "Not only that, but the Blackthorn Base and Watcher Base have also been massacred by the Doomsday Cult. By the way, there is still a team of people hiding deep within the Observer Base’s cave who survived. Send someone to bring them back later."
"Doomsday Cult!"
"A bunch of bastards!"
Everyone present cursed angrily.
Spade said to everyone in a deep voice, "I know everyone is very angry, but now is not the time to be angry. We must carry forward with the beliefs of the fallen, continuously strengthening ourselves. Someday, when we are strong enough, we will surely avenge and wash away this humiliation."
"That’s right, avenge and wash away this humiliation!"
...
Everyone present shouted passionately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Revalclus Space Defense Base.
The vast starry sky outside.
Dots of light appeared in the distance, and the edges of the starry sky glowed with white light, as if completely illuminated.
Of course, this spectacle wasn’t beautiful in the eyes of the patrolling ships at the rear; instead, it was like a scythe of doom.
If you zoom in on the optical images, you can see the distant horizon teeming with countless troops from the Eternal Sleep Clan, including Dandelion Fortresses, Wind Shuttle Ships, Spiritual Ability Users, Planet-Level Nest Fortresses, and other weapons aplenty.
Terrified voices rang out on the special emergency communication channels.
"Sound the alarm!"
"Quick, sound the alarm!"
...
Meteor Field’s central region.
In the densely inhabited meteorite habitats and artificial planets, a Level 1 alert was raised.
The piercing alarm echoed incessantly.
Black and White Limit Fortress.
Commander Nan Qi led many NCOs hurriedly to the command room.
With a very grave expression, he asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"The outer region troops are sounding the alarm. The Eternal Sleep Clan’s enemies have invaded."
Bai Li respectfully reported.
"Damn it, how many of them are there?"
Commander Nan Qi was so angry he almost cursed. These guys are really disgusting; they just suffered a heavy blow from us, and still, they don’t learn their lesson.
"Many, too many to count,"
Bai Li hesitated for a moment and eventually responded.
After hearing this, Commander Nan Qi became even more enraged and quickened his pace toward the command room.
Not long after, he arrived at the command room with his crew.
"Activate remote conference mode."
Without a word, Nan Qi ordered the AI Black and White Apostle.
"Activating,"
the AI Black and White Apostle responded.
The command room dimmed, and then virtual projections of generals in Mechanical Armor appeared, led by Vice Commander Genod.
"What’s the situation now?"
Nan Qi asked.
"The Eternal Sleep Clan is attacking with full force. Incomplete statistics estimate their forces at no less than tens of billions,"
Vice Commander Genod said gravely.
"Can we hold out?"
Nan Qi asked through gritted teeth.
"Absolutely not. I’ve already informed Commander Lorrek. He’s on his way back from Ceres, and he’s told us we must hold out."
Genod took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"We can’t hold out, so how do we fight?"
Commander Nan Qi was almost ready to explode.
"It’s not entirely hopeless. You can see that the Star Gate is nearing completion. If we can hold out for 43 hours, the Star Gate will be fully erected, and once it opens, victory will be ours."
Genod waved his hand, revealing a huge virtual image.
The image showed a magnificent Star Gate being erected, its base already constructed, with stabilizers being installed above.
"43 hours."
Commander Nan Qi calculated heavily, pondering as if it’s not entirely impossible.
"To prevent the enemy from infiltrating and damaging the Star Gate, we can’t rely on base defensive fire. We must fight a full front-line battle outside. So even if some slip through, it won’t be easy to breach the base defense perimeter,"
Genod explained gravely.
"Are you kidding me? Fighting directly with our current forces?"
Commander Nan Qi nearly exploded with fury, thinking this is suicide since even relying on the Revalclus Space Defense Base’s firepower and traps might not withstand the enemy’s attack.
Now they’re proposing direct confrontation!
"I know, but there’s no other choice,"
lamented Genod, who didn’t want to do this but had no alternative.
Commander Nan Qi’s expression changed several times, and he finally stomped his foot and replied through gritted teeth, "Let’s go all out, just do it."
"Alright, gather all forces and position them for immediate battle!"
Genod wasted no words since the knife was at their throats, and there was no room for hesitation.
"Understood,"
everyone responded one after another.
At this moment, the armies of the Twelve Nations and Birthplace of the Kingdoms were also in an uproar.
The public communication channels were filled with panicked discussions.
"We’re done for, truly done for this time. The main force of the Eternal Sleep Clan is attacking."
"Can we win?"
"How could we win? Haven’t you seen their numbers? It’s more than what we encountered on the way before."
"What do we do now?"
"What can we do? Wait for orders from the Star Ring City Commanders."
...
Inside the Shadow Command Room.
Sun Duoxiang paced back and forth nervously, muttering.
"Finished, we’re finished."
At this moment, a virtual directive popped up.
Zhang Hao looked at the latest command that had popped up, stunned, and stammered to Sun Duoxiang, "Brother Sun, it’s over. The orders from the Black and White Limit Fortress have been relayed. All alert ships are to stand by in outer space, preparing to form an external battle formation."
"Is this crazy? Are they facing it head-on? Have the commanders lost their minds, or have they been kicked by a mule?"
Sun Duoxiang initially waited for retreat orders, but instead, this command arrived.
"Brother Sun, what do we do now?"
Zhang Hao asked, trembling.
"What else can we do? Follow commands and prepare for battle. Relay the orders and inform everyone to gear up for battle."
Sun Duoxiang slumped into the command chair, feeling rather hopeless.
"Yes,"
Zhang Hao quickly responded.
In Su Mo’s room aboard the Shadow.
Qian Chengxue sat quietly at the edge of Su Mo’s bed, her cold eyes revealing a trace of severity as she gazed at the familiar objects in the room.
Just then, Zhang Hao’s voice echoed through the broadcast.
"Emergency broadcast, the Eternal Sleep Clan is attacking. We need to engage, so everyone prepare for battle."
...
At that moment, Qian Chengxue slowly lifted her head, her gaze growing colder, and her beautiful face became increasingly fierce.
She resembled the chilling winter, striking fear into anyone who saw her.
She took one last look at the room’s arrangement, then stood up and left decisively.
...
In the starry sky, fleets from various countries began to assemble, moving to their designated coordinates according to specified orders.
Faced with no choice but to follow orders, they shook off their complaints and steeled themselves for combat.
After all, slacking off ensures death, but fighting gives at least a slight chance of survival.
And after forming their arrays, the fleets from different nations did display considerable might and grandeur.
