171: Poor Chris

The array formed by the dispersed warships fired their main cannons in unison.

A blue-white light illuminated the entire Yaoguang City, and the next second, the beams seemed to merge into one, spanning thousands of miles.

Inside Yaoguang City.

Everyone was attracted by this spectacular scene, flocking to the observation windows to gaze into the distant deep space.

"What is this?"

"Did the Radiant Empire attack?"

"Probably not, there is no response on the radar."

"Then what are they doing, firing cannons for fun?"

...

Ninth Corps, Mothership [Divine], bridge.

legion commander Remi stood before the simulated observation window, gazing at the endless deep space with his hands behind his back, and snorted coldly: "It is almost time, we will be able to take Yaoguang City immediately."

"Overclocked energy reaction detected!"

"Emergency evasion!"

"Speed is too high, no time to turn!"

Remi raised his eyebrows and turned around in confusion, and it was this turn that completely froze his posture in place.

The blue-white light struck, completely swallowing the Ninth Corps.

20 warship formations, 2200 warships, were instantly wiped out and turned into dust.

As if they had never existed.

On the flank of the Tenth Corps, over 300 warships were grazed by the blue-white light, rapidly dissolving like melting wax at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Explosions occurred in patches, silently lighting up the entire star region.

Radiant Empire Seventh Knight Legion, frontline war fortress.

The Deputy's hands trembled uncontrollably, his eyes widened, staring at the tactical Terminal in his hands in disbelief.

The signal source marked as the Ninth Corps disappeared in an instant.

Over 300 signal sources from the Tenth Corps were extinguished almost simultaneously.

"legion commander, the Ninth Corps..."

Leighton turned his head, and seeing the Deputy's expression, he grabbed the Terminal in confusion, looked up, and was instantly stunned in place.

"Where is the Ninth Corps?"

The Deputy's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily, and he replied with a trembling voice: "They were just here... in the blink of an eye..."

At this moment, an emergency communication popped up in Leighton's tactical helmet.

"Connect."

"legion commander, the Ninth Corps was ambushed and completely wiped out!"

"What happened?"

A video clip slowed down one hundred times appeared in his tactical helmet.

Leighton watched as the blue-white beam of light, spanning tens of thousands of miles, flashed past and completely swallowed the Ninth Corps.

He watched it repeatedly and finally confirmed his suspicion.

"This kind of firepower is definitely a titan ship!"

"Damn it, the intelligence is wrong!"

Deputy: "legion commander, what should we do?"

"Damn it, what else can we do? All troops, retreat at full speed!"

The order was issued.

The once aggressive fleet of the Seventh Knight Legion turned their bows and, as if fleeing in panic, disappeared into the star region at the fastest speed in the direction they came from.

...

"Sir, the enemy fleet has been annihilated, with an estimated count of 2100 ships."

He Ming's spiritual consciousness entered his inner universe to communicate with the omniscient notebook.

[Current movements of the Seventh Knight Legion]

[Retreating from the main battlefield at full speed]

[Will they attack Yaoguang City again in the next seven days]

[No]

[Specific movements]

[Heading to Blackstone City]

"Blackstone City, I remember that seems to be the area Chris is responsible for guarding..."

After getting the answer, He Ming ignored it and entered a state of cultivation.

He had come to the frontline with the intention of slacking off; after all, Wang Chao's established reputation was there, and doing too much would only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

After witnessing the cluster strike firepower of the Star Destroyer Cannon, as long as the Radiant Empire commander wasn't stupid, they would definitely not dare to continue probing forward.

Completing the task assigned by the Star Empire was simply too easy.

Cannon fodder?

Non-existent.

Let alone guarding Yaoguang City for two months, even waiting until the end of the war, absolutely no one would dare to come and probe again.

...

The main general responsible for guarding Blackstone City was General Hai Ke, with Ninth Stage Stellar Level strength; he had strong troops and possessed 200 fleets.

Adding the Deputy Chris, the Yuanyang Star System had also brought out all their assets this time, totaling 30 fleets.

The task assigned by the higher-ups was to guard for two months.

Chris stood before the observation window, hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face, gazing into the deep space.

"Wang Chao, after you die, the Luol Star System will be mine for the taking."

The Deputy beside him laughed and echoed: "Governor, as long as Wang Chao dies in battle, we can recover those two star marrow ore mines."

Chris: "Hahaha... I was originally wondering how to deal with Wang Chao; this guy actually chose to self-destruct, it's simply brainless to the extreme."

Deputy: "Now the entire star system views him as a thorn in their side; being sent to Yaoguang City by the higher-ups this time is clearly intended to make him die."

"And that Wan Xingying, it serves her right, actually choosing to form an alliance with Wang Chao."

Chris nodded with a smile, in a great mood.

"Hmph, this is the consequence of offending me."

In order to be transferred to Blackstone City, Chris had pulled strings and emptied his family fortune.

But he felt that it was all worth it.

Star systems with weak strength are pure cannon fodder in interstellar wars.

Want to earn military merit?

Simply non-existent.

Military merit is reserved for powerful star systems.

Being able to survive this war is already the greatest victory.

...

Ten days later.

Blackstone City was besieged by the Radiant Empire's Sixth and Seventh Knight Legions.

Blackstone City, command center.

Blackstone City's commander-in-chief, Governor Hai Ke, slapped the armrest of his chair, shattering it, and stood up in anger, veins popping on his forehead.

"Damn it, the intelligence is wrong!"

Chris's forehead broke out in a fine layer of sweat, his expression panicked: "Governor Hai Ke, why would the Seventh Knight Legion run to Blackstone City?"

Hai Ke's chest heaved violently, his heart felt ice cold, he glared fiercely at Chris, and roared: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

Chris hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to talk back.

Although both were governors, the difference in status between the two was worlds apart.

The Yuanyang Star System was located at the very edge of the Star Empire.

And Governor Hai Ke's territory was in the central circle of the Star Empire.

Total strength of Blackstone City, 230 fleets.

It was already very difficult to confront the Radiant Empire's Sixth Knight Legion, but by relying on the defenses of Blackstone City, it was still possible to hold out for two months.

But now, with the Seventh Knight Legion suddenly joining the battlefield, under the pincer attack, defeat was inevitable.

At most, they could hold out for half a month.

Hai Ke said urgently: "What about reinforcements? What did the higher-ups say?"

"The command headquarters told us to hold for ten days; the reinforcements from Yaoguang City are already on their way."

When Chris heard this news, his face turned dark.

Reinforcements?

He had a deadly feud with Wang Chao, how could he possibly come to support...

Even if he came, he would definitely delay and delay.

It's over...

He thought to himself: "Is the Seventh Knight Legion crazy?"

"They don't chew on the soft bones, but insist on attacking Blackstone City!?"
