210: Chapter 209 Mysterious Light Destroys the Enemy! Dawn Breaks the Darkness to Secure the Nation, Power Warms the Hearts of the People (1)

The cold night rescue mission concluded. Mu Li led the three rescue teams back to the Xuanguang Energy Base on schedule. Without daring to pause for even a moment, they threw themselves into the final preparations against the Void Temple army.

Inside the Command Center, the golden halo of Xuanguang Energy intertwined with the pitch-black glow of Dark Energy signals on the screens. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere of battle; every keystroke and every command conveyed carried the weight of protecting their Home.

Mu Li stood in the center of the command console, the lingering warmth of Xuanguang Energy from the rescue still on his fingertips. The exhaustion in his eyes was overshadowed by a firm fighting spirit. He had just finished confirming the final deployment of the three Xuanguang defensive nets when a hurried warning sounded from the technical department in his headset.

"Engineer Mu! Emergency!" The voice of the head of the technical department carried undisguised anxiety. The previously stable Dark Energy signal cluster on the screen suddenly accelerated, and red alarm lights flashed wildly. The harsh red light illuminated every solemn face in the Command Center.

"The Void Temple main fleet has broken through the outer perimeter of the Solar System. The concentration of Dark Energy is skyrocketing, and they are only 40 minutes away from the Home atmosphere. Their flagship's main Dark Energy cannon has begun to preheat!"

Xuanguang Energy surged around Mu Li, and the golden halo in his pupils flickered. He stared intently at the energy curves of the three Xuanguang defensive nets on the screen, which fluctuated slightly due to the approaching Dark Energy. Every rise and fall tugged at everyone's heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the exhaustion accumulated from days of rescue and preparation, and said in a deep voice: "All units, enter the highest combat state immediately! Zhao Gang, lead the First Assault Team to hold the first defensive net at all costs. Concentrate fire to prioritize destroying the enemy's ship-borne Dark Energy emitters. You must hold the first line of defense to buy time for the subsequent counterattack. Li Rui, lead the Second Assault Team to flank the enemy's side, attack from the rear, and target their supply fleet to cut off their Dark Energy supply. Technical department, maintain the energy output of the defensive nets at full power, simultaneously activate the Dark Energy interference system to weaken the enemy's attack power. Report any anomalies immediately!"

"Received!" The crisp and powerful responses of Zhao Gang and Li Rui came through the communication channel. There was no hesitation, only the determination to face death without fear.

At this moment, on the screens of the Command Center, the outlines of the Void Temple fleet could be clearly seen. Hundreds of warships, like dormant giant beasts wrapped in black mist, sped through the universe. Wherever they passed, the light of the stars was ruthlessly swallowed, leaving behind a dead silence of darkness.

Outside the atmosphere, three golden Xuanguang defensive nets unfolded slowly like a huge firmament. The energy beams intertwined into a dense protective matrix, glowing with dazzling golden light, firmly wrapping their Home.

The First Assault Team led by Zhao Gang drove thirty xuanguang assault boats, forming a wedge formation in front of the defensive net. The Xuanguang Weapons on both sides of the boats had finished charging, and the golden energy light condensed at the muzzles, sizzling. The air was filled with the scent of energy collision.

Zhao Gang sat in the flagship cockpit, hands gripping the joystick, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the approaching black fleet in the distance. The Xuanguang Energy in his body resonated faintly with the energy system of the Assault Boat.

"Attention everyone, fire at will. Prioritize clearing the vanguard fighters, do not let them get close to the defensive net!" Zhao Gang's voice sounded in the formation channel, his tone firm and carrying an unquestionable command.

Before the words fell, thirty golden Xuanguang beams pierced the void like sharp swords, carrying a whistling sound, accurately hitting the Dark Energy fighters rushing at the front. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of violent explosions echoed in the universe. fragments of black fighters, wrapped in the aftermath of Dark Energy, scattered and splashed, blooming with short and harsh sparks in the pitch-black universe.

However, the number of Void Temple warships far exceeded expectations. Subsequent fighters surged like a tide, densely packed without any gaps. At the same time, they fired a large number of Dark Energy beams. The black beams, like poisonous snakes, attacked the Xuanguang defensive net.

Wherever the Dark Energy beams passed, the cosmic space slightly distorted. Carrying strong corrosiveness, they landed on the defensive net, making a "sizzling" sound. The golden defensive net trembled slightly, and its light dimmed a little.

"Engineer Mu! The energy loss of the first defensive net is 12%!" The technical department head's voice came again, with obvious anxiety. "The enemy's Dark Energy beams are highly corrosive and are continuously eroding the energy barrier. The stability of the defensive net is declining!"

Mu Li's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he quickly pressed his hands on the energy conduction device of the command console. The energy of his Xuanguang Holy Body was continuously injected into the defensive net. The golden light spread along the conduction lines, instantly filling the entire defense system.

"Activate core energy overload output, I will replenish the defensive net!" His voice was a bit hoarse. Forcing out a large amount of energy had already caused his body to bear a load, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead. "Li Rui, speed up the flanking, you must destroy their supply ships before the enemy's main cannon finishes charging to cut off their energy source!"

System Prompt: Detected that the enemy flagship's main Dark Energy cannon has started charging. The estimated charging time is 25 minutes. After charging is complete, it will release a fatal Dark Energy beam, causing an irreversible and fatal blow to the Xuanguang defensive net. Please destroy the enemy supply ships or stop the main cannon from charging as soon as possible.

Li Rui's voice immediately came from the communication channel with rapid panting, and violent explosions could be heard in the background: "Understood! The Second Assault Team has broken through the enemy's left flank defense line, avoided the enemy's main firepower, and is rapidly approaching the supply fleet. Expected to reach the target location in 10 minutes!"

Meanwhile, inside the Void Temple flagship command room, the leader sat on a towering command chair. Powerful Dark Energy radiated from his body, and black mist shrouded him, making it impossible to see his specific face, only a pair of eyes flashing with greed and bloodthirsty light.

He looked at the stubborn Xuanguang Assault Team on the screen, a hideous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, his tone cold and arrogant: "A group of ants dares to block the car! Overestimating themselves! Speed up the main cannon charging, and simultaneously activate the Dark Energy suicide fighters. Tear open their defensive net, flatten the Xuanguang Energy Base, and seize the Xuanguang Technology!"

Following the leader's order, dozens of small fighters flew out from the enemy warships. The fuselages flashed with unstable Dark Energy light, flickering on and off, carrying the aura of destruction, and rushed straight towards the first defensive net. These suicide fighters did not carry any weapons; their only purpose was to hit the target and detonate the Dark Energy within them, creating a fatal explosive impact.

"It's suicide fighters! Everyone evade, concentrate fire to intercept!" Zhao Gang shouted, immediately adjusting the posture of the Assault Boat, ordering the team members to disperse, and simultaneously firing dense Xuanguang Energy shells at the suicide fighters.

Golden energy shells poured out like a rainstorm. After hitting the suicide fighters, they instantly triggered a chain explosion. The black Dark Energy aftermath collided with the golden Xuanguang Energy, forming dazzling light clusters in the universe. However, some suicide fighters still relied on their small size to break through the fire net and crashed into the first defensive net like lunatics.

"Boom—" The violent explosion resounded through the universe. The powerful impact made the golden light of the defensive net flicker violently. The energy loss instantly soared to 35%, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the defensive net.

In the Command Center, a drop of blood spilled from the corner of Mu Li's mouth. Forcing out a large amount of energy caused his internal organs to bear a significant load, and his face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. His hands did not loosen at all, continuously injecting Xuanguang Energy into the defensive net: "Technical department, activate the emergency repair program for the defensive net, and do your best to compensate for the energy loss! Zhao Gang, hold on under the pressure, persist for another ten minutes, Li Rui and the others will succeed soon!"

"Understood! Engineer Mu, we will definitely hold it!" Zhao Gang's voice carried determination. He led the First Assault Team to adjust their formation again, concentrating all firepower to intercept the remaining suicide fighters and enemy warships. The muzzles of the xuanguang assault boats flashed continuously, and golden beams hit the targets again and again. Although team members were injured and the Assault Boats were damaged, no one retreated. Every Assault Boat was doing its best to protect the defensive net.

Just then, Li Rui's voice brought good news, with undisguised excitement: "Engineer Mu! The enemy supply fleet has been completely destroyed! The Dark Energy supply has been completely cut off. The energy output of the enemy warships has begun to drop significantly, and the main cannon charging speed has also slowed down!"

Mu Li was overjoyed, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth no longer looked so harsh: "Good! Well done! Zhao Gang, organize a counterattack immediately, concentrate all forces, target the enemy flagship, destroy its main cannon, and completely defeat the enemy army!"

"Received!" Zhao Gang immediately led the First Assault Team to turn direction, gave up intercepting the enemy vanguard fighters, concentrated thirty xuanguang assault boats, and rushed towards the Void Temple flagship.

At this time, the flagship's main Dark Energy cannon had finished charging. A thick black beam, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, shot out from the muzzle and rushed towards the first defensive net. Wherever the black beam passed, obvious cracks appeared in the cosmic space, carrying the power to destroy everything.

Mu Li's pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he injected all the remaining Xuanguang Energy in his body into the defensive net. The golden defensive net instantly shone brightly, colliding violently with the black Dark Energy beam.

"Resist with all your might!" He shouted, his voice filled with determination. The Xuanguang Energy around him was almost exhausted, his face was as pale as paper, his body trembled slightly, but he still supported it firmly.

The violent energy shockwave made the entire Home atmosphere tremble, and people on the ground could even feel the slight shaking. The golden defensive net and the black Dark Energy beam were deadlocked, the light flickering on and off. The energy loss of the defensive net reached 70%, and the cracks on the surface were getting bigger and bigger, and it could break at any time, but it finally blocked this fatal blow.

Zhao Gang seized this gap, led the First Assault Team to break through the obstruction of the remaining enemy fighters, quickly rushed to the bottom of the flagship, and fired Xuanguang armor-piercing shells. The golden armor-piercing shells, carrying powerful penetrating power, accurately pierced the flagship's energy shield and hit the hull.

"All Assault Boat personnel land on the flagship, destroy its core energy chamber, and completely paralyze the enemy flagship!" Zhao Gang ordered, taking the lead in opening the Assault Boat hatch, wearing Xuanguang armor, jumped out, and rushed towards the flagship's hatch.

Dozens of Xuanguang Assault Team members followed closely, wearing Xuanguang armor, jumped out of the Assault Boats, and rushed into the interior of the flagship. The Dark Soldiers inside the flagship immediately surrounded them. They were wearing black armor, the armor shining with a cold luster, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, and their bodies exuding cold Dark Energy, engaging in fierce close combat with the Xuanguang Assault Team members.

Xuanguang Energy and Dark Energy collided fiercely in the corridor, making a "sizzling" sound. Golden light and black mist intertwined. Dark Soldiers were continuously defeated by Xuanguang Energy, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating. Xuanguang Assault Team members were also injured, but they still fought bravely and did not retreat at all.

"The core energy chamber is just ahead! We can reach it by passing through this corridor!" A team member reported loudly while resisting the Dark Soldiers' attacks, his armor already eroded by Dark Energy, showing slight damage.

Zhao Gang led the team members to break through the layers of obstruction by the Dark Soldiers, fighting all the way, and finally reached the door of the core energy chamber. Inside the energy chamber, the huge Dark Energy core was running continuously, making a low roar. Black energy pipelines were all around, and Dark Energy flowed along the pipelines, nourishing the entire flagship.

"Concentrate firepower to attack the core! You must destroy it completely before it restarts the supply!" Zhao Gang shouted, taking the lead in activating his Xuanguang Weapon, launching an attack on the Dark Energy core. Golden energy beams shot towards the core continuously. After hitting the core, they made a violent explosion.

The Void Temple leader sensed the crisis of the core and personally led the elite Dark Soldiers to rush over. Powerful Dark Energy erupted from his body, and black mist instantly filled the entire energy chamber. He slapped Zhao Gang with a palm, the wind of the palm carrying a powerful impact, enough to shatter Xuanguang armor.

"Don't even think about ruining my plan! You all must die!" The leader's voice was cold and bone-chilling, carrying monstrous anger.

Zhao Gang immediately raised his xuanguang shield to resist. With a loud "bang", the huge impact made him retreat several steps, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, and a crack appeared on the xuanguang shield.

"Engineer Mu, request support! The enemy leader has taken action personally, we can hardly resist!" Zhao Gang shouted into the communicator, raised his Xuanguang Weapon again, rushed towards the leader, and tangled with him.

"Zhao Gang, I'm coming to support you!" Mu Li's voice came immediately. Regardless of his body's exhaustion, he drove a small Assault Boat, rushed to the outside of the flagship, and continuously injected the remaining Xuanguang Energy in his body into Zhao Gang's armor through the system.

Golden energy spread along the communication lines, wrapping Zhao Gang's armor. Zhao Gang's power soared instantly, the Xuanguang Energy around him shone brightly, and he launched a fierce counterattack against the leader.

Under the joint attack of Zhao Gang and the team members, plus Mu Li's energy support, the Void Temple leader gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the Dark Energy output became weaker and weaker. Meanwhile, the Dark Energy core could not bear the load and exploded violently. Golden light and black Dark Energy intertwined, instantly swallowing the entire energy chamber.

"Retreat! Evacuate the flagship immediately!" Zhao Gang shouted, leading the team members to evacuate quickly, running towards the Assault Boats.

Behind them, the Void Temple flagship gradually disintegrated in the explosion. The huge hull was torn apart, black fragments wrapped in the aftermath of Dark Energy scattered and splashed in the universe, finally turning into dust in the universe.

Losing the flagship's command, the remaining Void Temple warships fell into chaos, fleeing everywhere like headless flies. The Xuanguang Assault Team took the opportunity to launch a general attack. Beams of Xuanguang Energy, like a golden rainstorm, destroyed the enemy warships one by one. Not a single warship could escape.

Inside the Command Center, the Dark Energy signal cluster representing the Void Temple army on the screen completely disappeared. The shrill alarm sound finally stopped, replaced by cheers. All the staff cheered excitedly, hugging and celebrating each other, their faces filled with the joy of victory. The exhaustion and tension of the past few days dissipated at this moment.

Mu Li looked at the screen, his tense nerves finally relaxed, his body went limp, and he slumped in his chair. His face was still pale, but he showed a tired yet gratified smile.

"Engineer Mu, are you okay?" The technical staff nearby hurriedly stepped forward to support him, handed him a cup of warm water, his tone full of concern, "You forced out a large amount of Xuanguang Energy, your body definitely can't handle it. Rest for a while."

Mu Li shook his head, took the warm water, drank a small sip, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "I'm fine, we won, the Home is safe." A simple sentence carried too much sacrifice and persistence. At that moment, all the hard work and pain became worth it.
