223: Chapter 212 The Decapitation Plan

Facing the obsolete warships of Beixing Star that should have long been discarded by the era.

Many soldiers of the Resistance Army had looks of disbelief in their eyes, clearly not expecting to see such antiques on the battlefield.

The disadvantage brought about by the generational gap in weaponry would be infinitely magnified as technology progressed.

Therefore, even though over ten thousand spacecraft were packed densely together in the planetary orbit.

The Resistance Army fleet, with less than one-tenth the number of warships compared to the opposing side, showed not a hint of fear.

Instead, they felt it was laughable.

More crucially, the soldiers of Beixing Star had been rushed to battle after only being half-trained.

Warship after warship flew in a crooked and erratic manner.

The carrier-based aircraft flying out from within were even more chaotic and disorganized.

Some had not even left the warships for long before several collided due to careless operation.

Many Resistance Army soldiers mocked, "Dilapidated ships manned by people who don't even qualify as recruits—what kind of army is this? Who gave them the courage to fly into space to fight us?"

Only Grand Commander Lin Han frowned slightly, his expression complex.

Not knowing what he was thinking.

The two armies engaged in close-quarters combat in the vast expanse of space.

Nearly a thousand Resistance Army warships launched a one-sided massacre against the more than ten thousand Beixing Star spacecraft.

Old-fashioned spacecraft exploded into flames that shot into the sky, like blooming fireworks.

Then they were broken down into wreckage, drifting with the currents formed by various weapons on the battlefield.

Accompanying the debris were countless corpses of the new Beixing Star recruits.

It was unclear whether the Shi Family's spacecraft were truly too backward and lacked escape pods.

Or if they had discarded those life-saving devices to maximize the number of crew members carried.

In any case, after every Beixing Star spacecraft was destroyed, all the soldiers on board perished along with it.

None survived.

Wei Wei had specifically deployed five medical ships to retrieve escape pods or soldiers from both sides.

But since the battle began, her fleet had only rescued a handful of Resistance Army soldiers.

Yet, according to the current battle damage ratio, the number of Beixing Star warships destroyed was nearly a hundred times that of the Resistance Army.

Yet not a single Beixing Star soldier had been able to escape from their destroyed spacecraft.

Lin Han couldn't help but roar, "Are these idiots so loyal to the Shi Family that keeps squeezing them dry?"

"The battle has reached this point, and they still don't know to surrender!"

"They are forcing my soldiers to wipe them all out!"

But before long, Hope, who had been observing the entire battlefield, stepped forward to explain, "Those soldiers are inside those old warships; they don't even have many portholes, so how could they know the situation outside!"

"They are just a group of pitiful people, unable to control their own fate and at the mercy of others."

Lin Han asked curiously, "What about the people in the command room?"

"Don't they know the situation, and that only by surrendering can they save their lives?"

"Are they really willing to risk their lives for the Shi Family like this!"

Hope observed for a while and finally understood everything.

"The people in the command room are not actually loyal to the Shi Family."

"They are loyal to the Great Commander General Xiang of the Manghui Civilization."

"I just confirmed it again; the captains, helmsmen, navigators, and communication officers on every Beixing Star spacecraft..."

"Everyone sitting in the bridge command room belongs to the Manghui Civilization."

"Perhaps the Beixing Star recruits currently haven't received enough training to handle these jobs."

"The people in the command rooms now are all subordinates of General Xiang."

"And the Manghui Civilization is a military civilization; their loyalty to General Xiang is absolute!"

Hearing this, Lin Han took a deep breath and said with a pained expression, "Must we kill everyone on these old warships?"

"It's just a pity for those Beixing Star people; they are merely puppets for the Shi Family!"

At this moment, nearly a thousand dark silhouettes flew out from the Resistance Army's fleet.

Flying rapidly through space.

Leading them was Xiliu, whose body was completely encased in black nanobots.

He used his communicator to call out to Lin Han, "Grand Commander, don't worry! Our Symbiotic Armor Squadron is now initiating the decapitation plan!"

He then loudly ordered the entire squadron, "All Symbiotic Armor Warriors, listen up!"

"Precisely control the power and accuracy of your laser weapons. Only destroy the bridge command room of each warship and annihilate every living thing inside!"

"As for other parts of the ships, do not attack!"

Upon receiving the order, the members of the Symbiotic Armor Squadron immediately charged straight toward the Beixing Star fleet.

Lin Han saw that the people from the Xingyang Civilization had entered the battlefield.

He immediately ordered his men to cease fire, as their firepower was far superior to the opponent's.

Since the Symbiotic Armor Warriors had already interspersed themselves into the opposing fleet, this was the only way to avoid harming friendly forces.

Soon, the warriors used lasers to burn a hole straight through the bridge command rooms of the Beixing Star warships.

Then they flew inside, dropped a high-explosive bomb, and left with style.

Very quickly, the command rooms within the Beixing Star fleet turned into a hell of fire, and countless instructors from the Manghui Civilization became charred corpses.

After the command rooms were completely destroyed, Hope hacked into the network.

And then made an announcement to all ships.

"People of Beixing Star, please wake up. There is no need for you to risk your lives for President Shi En anymore, because he is about to be finished!"

"The Shi Family has been brainwashing you, turning you into machines without your own consciousness. I think you have long had enough of this life!"

"And those instructors from the Manghui Civilization in the command rooms—they must have been oppressing you while training you."

"But now the Xingyang Civilization has arrived. Whether it is the Shi Family or the Manghui Civilization, they will soon cease to exist."

"The Great Deity Xingyang will not only bring you supplies but will also bring you freedom!"

The voice, resounding through every ship, echoed for a long time inside the old spacecraft.

Those people of Beixing Star, after a brief moment of panic and confusion.

Immediately erupted into earth-shattering cheers!

"We are free!"

"We are free!"

"Xingyang God, the Great Deity Xingyang watches over us. We will never believe a single word from the Shi Family again; we will only forever believe in the Great Deity Xingyang!"

"Xingyang God is eternal!"

Under the precision strikes of the Symbiotic Armor Squadron, the more than ten thousand Beixing Star warships were ceasing fire one after another.

Hope also used the hacked network to steer those warships with destroyed command rooms away from the battlefield.

Lin Han's tense expression finally relaxed significantly.

He muttered to his subordinates nearby, "Thanks to the Xingyang Civilization; if it weren't for Xiliu's Symbiotic Armor Squadron, we would have been forced to slaughter those innocent Beixing Star people!"

A subordinate nearby nodded repeatedly, "Nearly one-third of the command rooms on the opposing warships have been destroyed!"

"And even if those instructors from the Manghui Civilization are battle-hardened, they cannot cause harm to the Symbiotic Armor Warriors using those warships that should have been eliminated long ago!"

"Before long, the remaining instructors will also surrender. They have no need to die for General Xiang in this senseless, one-sided battle!"

Listening to his subordinate's analysis, Lin Han agreed wholeheartedly.

However, after some time.

Only about three thousand Beixing Star warships remained on the battlefield, and only these had their command rooms still intact.

Yet their captains still showed no intention of giving up.

The captain of the Symbiotic Armor Squadron, Xiliu, was very puzzled, wondering what these people were still holding on for.

Just obeying General Xiang's orders so absolutely?
