If a Level 8 power were to arrive on the battlefield, the impact would be immense.

Especially when their contractors don’t have corresponding level powerhouses internally.

If a Seventh Rank in this kind of warship bombardment battlefield is still a target that might be critically hit by unknown AOE or even killed after a targeted attack,

Then an 8th Rank powerhouse not only gains stronger survivability, making them hard to kill and target, but they also have combat abilities far exceeding the Seventh Rank, enough to change a battlefield’s fate.

Once they join the war, their role in a battle situation becomes decisive!

Even as the overall commander, he believed he could keep the calmest thoughts unless in special situations, but seeing such a bad situation now, he couldn’t help but curse out loud.

"*Exchange Paradise swears*, what are those guys doing!

I specifically found this world and used those alchemists’ methods to get them such powerful Heroic Spirits, and they have already perished so quickly!

I don’t even expect them to defeat that Fan Mao’s 8th Rank, relying on continuous reinforcement; even if they can’t exhaust Fan Mao’s 8th Rank, they should at least hold the 8th Rank in outer space, preventing them from joining the battlefield!

And yet it’s only been such a short time!"

Dei breathed heavily, but the urgency of war forced him to calm down after venting a few words.

He actually knew himself, he was just finding an outlet for emotions, venting the frustration of being suppressed by the opposing command these days.

Facing Fan Mao’s invasion, facing the mandatory tasks given by Paradise, those contractors controlling the Heroic Spirits absolutely couldn’t hold back.

And the abilities of those Heroic Spirits were also the first he detected in this world and unearthed from that alchemist.

Before the formal war, he also personally tested the effects of those Heroic Spirits with other contractors using several samples, very clear on how powerful those Heroic Spirits were.

With a continuous supply of mana, compared to same-tier, attributes that are especially strong in all aspects, just these two items alone can make these Heroic Spirits invincible under the same tier, enough to use delay tactics to achieve victory even one-on-two.

Not to mention the contractors themselves increasing abilities and their own professional skills.

Except that it requires a large ritual array as the core, a huge mana consumption, and cannot stray too far from the array, this special Heroic Spirit is practically the simplest and most convenient 8th Rank measure.

Even before the incident, those Heroic Spirits were fighting well and even had hopes of winning.

And now, this 8th Rank Heroic Spirit has rapidly moved from evenly matched to defeated in just a few minutes.

Exactly how much combat power did the enemy invest!

You have to know, this is just a single Lord!

But no matter how much he doesn’t want to face it, the current enemy was something he couldn’t avoid.

After a few deep breaths, he adjusted his rationality back to optimal before refocusing his attention on the battlefield projection in front of him.

After his moment of distraction, the battlefield had already changed again.

The spot that had just been bitten off had dimmed quite a bit, and many points representing their own ships disappeared from the battlefield projection.

And this disappearance continued to occur.

Dei frowned, pondered for a moment, then continued to give orders.

"Pass my command, Fleets 3, 8, and 15 are to retreat five hundred meters, Fleets 1, 2..."

With his orders, the points on the projection began to change, retracting the original line into individual formations, leading to another significant retreat of the line itself.

Now the enemy’s combat strength is clearly more advantageous, wanting to continue as before in a tie is impossible, they can only choose to shrink the defensive line, waiting for an opportunity.

The adjustment of points within the projection led to a rapid decline in battle damage compared to before, but it still continued to bleed resources.

But at least, now, it’s barely stabilized.

"What news from the alchemist in the rear?"

"I have consulted the alchemist, and he stated that within one day, he can create another Level 8 Divine Statue! Enabling us to regain 8th Rank combat power!"

Hearing this, Dei slightly frowned, as he himself was an alchemist, just not in the same direction, and was not familiar with the creation of such statues.

Otherwise, he would not have unearthed such an alchemist with special techniques.

According to his understanding, those statue-level alchemy creations require a long time of refinement to succeed.

Even the ones they just lost, he had to advance with preparation time before the declaration of war, after arriving on this planet with others.

It cost them considerable time and resources.

But after all, it is not the direction he was most familiar with, and he is not sure of the exact crafting methods of those statues, nor whether they can be created quicker the second time around.

Since that high-level contractor has already relayed the alchemist’s promise, combined with the current urgency of war, he can’t afford to delve into such details.

"Very well, all-out support for the alchemist! Go oversee it personally! Report any results immediately!"

After leaving these words, Dei stopped concerning himself with other matters, refocusing on command, attempting to buy more time.

......

On the other side of the battlefield

In contrast to Dei’s tension, Bai Yi’s side was much more relaxed.

After all, they were winning, and their mindset naturally differed from Dei’s turmoil; whether in pressure or mindset, they were worlds apart.
