224: Chapter 213 Rescue
The space battle raging in the orbit around Beixing Star had already been going on for quite some time.
Both the Resistance Army and the Symbiotic Armor Squadron of the Xingyang Civilization had long since realized the true worth of President Shi En's so-called "nation in arms".
An extremely closed, totalitarian civilization that relied on brainwashing and oppressing its people would never produce any decent weapons.
To the Resistance Army, those dilapidated warships, which should have been phased out by the era long ago, were no different from bamboo rafts.
Consequently, the initial probing attacks turned into a scenario where they were grinding the opponent into the dust in space—it was nearly an overwhelming massacre.
Fortunately, Lin Han, who was not bloodthirsty, held back immediately and switched to having the Symbiotic Armor Squadron carry out a decapitation strike.
This prevented a large number of unnecessary casualties.
However, out of the ten thousand-plus warships of Beixing Star, there were still over two thousand putting up a desperate resistance.
The Resistance Army simply moved their fleet to a safe distance to watch the Symbiotic Armor Squadron perform.
After all, those old enemy warships could not launch a preemptive strike from that distance, whether in terms of speed or firepower.
Meanwhile, Xiliu, the captain of the Symbiotic Armor Squadron, suddenly grew tired of blowing up the command rooms of those warships one by one.
Instead, Xiliu helplessly contacted Hope via the communicator.
"How is it going? Have you hacked into the enemy fleet's network yet?"
"Make them surrender. Don't let them die in vain anymore!"
"The people of the Xingyang Civilization are not executioners! As long as they give up resistance and clear a path for us to capture President Shi En."
"Then everything can be forgiven!"
Inside the Resistance Army flagship.
After listening to Xiliu, Hope replied after a moment, "I can hack into the networks of the warships whose command rooms you've already blown up immediately."
"But for the ones that haven't been heavily damaged yet, I'll need a bit more time."
"This kind of network protection and shielding technology is definitely not from Beixing Star."
"It's likely equipment brought over by the Manghui Civilization and installed temporarily."
In the flagship command room, besides Lin Han, there were naturally people from the Xingyang Civilization.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Lan stood up decisively: "Forget it, let's stop bothering with this pile of junk."
"The Resistance Army can send three hundred warships to completely pin them down, so there's no need to worry about them causing trouble in the rear."
"The rest of the warships, including the Symbiotic Armor Squadron led by Xiliu, will head straight for Beixing Star!"
"We just need to capture that guy, President Shi En, directly!"
"Once he's dealt with, the entire Beixing Star will naturally stabilize."
Everyone nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Solia and Suo Xiaoli stood up immediately, volunteering: "Then we will also put on the Symbiotic Armor and fight on the ground!"
"Although Beixing Star is extremely backward, there is no guarantee that their ground forces don't have powerful weapons and equipment provided by the Manghui Civilization or obtained through some other means."
"So having a few more helpers is always good! Please let us contribute too."
Lin Han was the first to nod. After all, the gap caused by the difference in generations of ground equipment was not that significant.
At this time, naturally, the more the better.
Yu Lan also readily agreed: "Good, you two will also join the Symbiotic Armor Squadron, under the unified command of Xiliu!"
"All our soldiers must make this a quick battle and a quick decision; just drag President Shi En back directly!"
"The longer we drag it out, the more variables there will be!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "Good!"
Lin Han immediately arranged tasks for his subordinates.
Three hundred warships would deal with the remaining Beixing Star space warships that were still resisting.
All other warships would follow the Symbiotic Armor Squadron into the atmosphere to capture President Shi En!
After assigning the tasks, just as everyone was gearing up for ground combat.
A piercing alarm resounded through all the ships of the Resistance Army.
Hope reminded them immediately: "We have guests!"
"Tens of thousands of warships from the Manghui Civilization, and the highest-spec mothership of the Ate Civilization."
"That is Sha Han's private vessel; she must be on that mothership. This time, the Ate Civilization might have mobilized their entire force!"
Everyone on the Resistance Army flagship looked stern.
It wasn't that they hadn't anticipated that these three civilizations, which had conspired together to seize the parallel channel, would band together when they attacked Beixing Star.
But this speculation had been quickly dismissed.
Everyone had arrogantly assumed that the Alliance Member and Ate should be cowering and trying to protect themselves at this time.
They dared not oppose the Resistance Army, especially not the great Xingyang Civilization.
But clearly, everyone had underestimated the determination of the three civilizations to band together.
