Chapter 724: The Red Glow
Hu Song commanded the fleet to move forward at full speed, intending to collide head-on with the enemy fleet!
Subsequently, all the Powerhouses of Small Galaxy rank returned to their warships, disregarding the harassment of surrounding fighter jets and mechas. They advanced at full speed, ready to crush the enemy with their superior warship technology.
Such a significant move did not escape Su Yi's eyes.
"Oh, they want to use their fleet's advantage to directly confront us? They should have done this earlier. Seems the enemy commander lacks strategic intellect," Su Yi chuckled.
The Super Soldiers shared the same sentiment. It would have been wiser to initiate this strategy from the start. Regardless of the outcome, they all believed that any enemy would eventually fall at their feet!
"Is it our turn to take the stage soon?" Natasha inquired.
"We'll need to wait a bit longer, at least until the enemy's Large Galaxy rank Powerhouses make their move. That's when you'll step in," Su Yi clarified. He knew his role this time; he was a commander, not a warrior. He didn't need to fight Powerhouses directly but had to ensure the annihilation of the enemy's fleet.
Their combined strength had grown considerably. Previously, they couldn't match a Large Galaxy rank Powerhouse, but now they had grown confident.
"It's a pity that the Confused Dark God cannot be mobilized. It would be great to use him as a target," Yun Ru sighed.
The mention made Su Yi twitch. He was aware that Yun Ru had collected scattered fragments of the Dark God's flesh for research. She would occasionally gaze at the Dark God with a longing expression, almost making the Dark God question its own existence, wondering if Yun Ru was the real Dark God.
The distance between the two fleets was closing rapidly.
Just as the fleets were about to collide, a series of red glows flickered, covering the surface of the Red Alert Empire fleet. The sight caught Hu Song by surprise, fearing another trump card from the enemy.
At this moment, the warships from both sides were almost face to face, the ideal distance for an all-out attack!
"All main and secondary cannons, space torpedoes and missiles, fire!" Hu Song roared.
He couldn't believe that the might of their empire's fleet would be inferior to this minor force.
The audacity to call themselves an empire was laughable to him!
Thousands of warships fired simultaneously, lighting up the sky so brilliantly that it was visible even from the Twin Moon Star.
However, what puzzled Hu Song was the enemy fleet's lack of movement. Had they lost control?
Regardless, countless artillery continued to rain down on the Red Alert Empire fleet. Massive explosions lit up the void.
"Ha! This is the firepower of our latest warships; they're doomed!" Deputy exclaimed. But his laughter faded within seconds.
According to the warship scans, the enemy's number hadn't diminished. Worse, it seemed that their firepower was reflecting back to them.
What sorcery was this?
"Scatter, everyone scatter!" Hu Song shouted, his pupils dilating in disbelief.
"Is it the red glow?" he wondered. He was right. This was the effect of the red glow, conjured by Su Yi.
Su Yi, as the commander with super-template abilities, was formidable. His abilities had grown stronger, especially in the vast expanse of space.
This red glow had a single purpose: to reflect any attack. But the warship had to withstand the assault, or else the reflection would be voided. Without the protection of a formidable psychic shield, this tactic would be suicidal.
Facing the enemy's barrage, most of their psychic shields were nearly obliterated. However, the resulting reflection was overwhelmingly devastating.
It was evident that their fleet couldn't withstand their own firepower. Warships tried to maneuver away, but the sudden change in trajectory wasn't fast enough.
Brilliant explosions representing warships blossomed in space.
Even the Small Galaxy rank Powerhouses couldn't endure such a ferocious onslaught. And the harassing fighter jets and mechas were teleported away in an instant due to Hyperspace Teleportation Devices.
"Damn the Red Alert Empire!" Hu Song almost shattered his teeth in rage. Although his warship remained unharmed, a significant portion of the fleet was obliterated.
In an instant, his fleet was reduced to less than a thousand warships!
"Fall back! I'll handle this!" Unable to sit idle, Hu Song emerged.
He had intended to remain passive, but the losses were too great.
Unprecedented energy erupted, and he appeared in the void, ablaze like a miniature sun.
"The boss has shown up; it's your time," Su Yi said, sounding drained. Using his power for the entire fleet nearly exhausted him.
"It's worth fighting only against a Powerhouse," Guangtou Qiang arrogantly declared, leaving his warship to confront the enemy in space.
Subsequently, all Super Soldiers appeared before Hu Song. For this battle, only the Super Soldiers engaged, with others like Les merely observing.
"Why didn't you let me fight? With my power, I could finish him off in one move," Les grumbled while munching on skewers.
Su Chen glanced at him, "Now that you've regained Large Galaxy rank, you're getting cocky? What if they reach Constellation-level before you?"
At present, Les had regained his power up to the first tier of Large Galaxy. As he claimed, with one move, he could have taken down Hu Song.
Such was the confidence of a Protoss Reaper!
"That's impossible!" Les vehemently responded.
"To each his own. Let's watch and see," Su Chen smiled, continuing to observe the ongoing clash.
While they conversed, the Super Soldiers were already engaged in a fierce battle with Hu Song.
In the midst of their fight, every second could spell an outcome. In battles between Powerhouses, every moment was crucial. (To be continued…)
