92: The Art of Fighting

"Synchronize coordinate positions, weapon charging ready..."

"Assault starship shields at full power, enter combat state..."

"Special mech pilots proceed to designated positions and stand by..."

"All units, listen up, attack!"

Gore stepped forward a few steps and quickly deployed on the command channel.

The probe starships in front emitted ripples, which rebounded quickly upon touching the Galaxy Beast swarm, feeding back real-time coordinates on the display.

The rest of the starships in the rear instantly pushed their thrusters to the max, advancing towards the direction of the beast swarm.

"Coordinates 362, 170, 644. Gravity Shock Bomb loaded, countdown 3, 2, 1, fire!"

"Particle refraction cluster cannon charging complete, acceleration rail preheated, target locked, fire!"

Almost the moment they entered range, all starships fired at full power.

Dense missiles dragged brilliant sparks across the dark red starry sky, and radiant cluster beams converged into a light curtain that swept everything before it.

Boom!

In an instant, violent roars accompanied by fierce growls resounded throughout the entire large Disaster Zone.

However, despite the massive momentum, the first wave of the offensive did not achieve much effect.

These Galaxy Beasts had dismantled many planets as cover, blocking quite a bit of damage.

"The intelligence of these beasts is getting higher and higher."

Gore continued to order expressionlessly: "Switch to high-power star-annihilation cannons, maintain fire suppression; since they are hiding behind planet fragments, blast them all flat."

"That really is blanket fire... isn't there a better way? This seems like a rather serious waste of energy."

Zhang Huaiyuan said, feeling a bit pained as he watched this scene.

His own fleet hated to spend even a single energy stone when fighting, so they couldn't play like this; it could only be said that the Free Star Alliance was indeed wealthy and imposing.

"Mr. Zhang Huaiyuan, facing a large swarm of Galaxy Beasts, maintaining long-range suppression is the best method; after all, close combat means risk. Even an Ion Shield of the SD-7 level cannot block the continuous attacks of a Double A-Class Galaxy Beast or higher, and the losses would be even greater then. As for a better method..."

Gore hesitated: "If a commander with 'Command-type' supernatural abilities came, it should be possible; they could better control the battle situation and avoid accidents."

"Hmm... can the Statue of Liberty do that?"

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded.

He understood what the other meant; in interstellar warfare, the battle fronts are very long, like the meteorite belt in front of the beast swarm which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, and ordinary people simply couldn't pay attention to the overall situation in time.

"Uh... Sir, the Statue of Liberty certainly can; she is the strongest battlefield commander in the Star Alliance. However, the Statue of Liberty doesn't have time to interfere in this 'playing house' scale of combat; most of her computing power is concentrated on those Cataclysm-level Disaster Zones..."

Before he finished speaking, a staff member at the command console suddenly exclaimed: "Bad news, I've lost control of the targeting system."

"Me too..."

"I am the Statue of Liberty, I am taking over this battle now."

An indifferent female voice rang out, and the noise came to an abrupt end.

The staff, who had been somewhat panicked, immediately relaxed. It turned out that the Statue of Liberty had arrived, so there was nothing to worry about.

They had seen this many times during this period, and were not surprised.

"Uh... this... Sir, the Statue of Liberty really dotes on you."

Gore looked at the light screens lighting up all around, wanting to say something but stopping. It took him a long time to squeeze out this sentence. He hadn't seen the Statue of Liberty descend as many times in his entire life as he had in these last one or two months.

"Yes, she is one of my best partners."

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled and gestured to his right wrist, then put on his tactical helmet and looked at the broadcast view of the probe starship.

"Particle cluster cannon charging, trinity, mark coordinates, 32% power, release..."

"Gravity Shock Bomb, trajectory adjusted, 1.32 second delay..."

"Calculating possible attack vectors of the Galaxy Beast swarm... 32% probability for coordinate #1, 21% probability for coordinate #2... Pre-deploy firepower, railgun ready..."

Lines of data were fed back on the display screen.

One could see beams of light cutting through the starry sky, every three of them merging together and shooting straight towards the planet fragments.

This type of single-point kill weapon easily melted the rock layers, and before the energy was exhausted, it perfectly penetrated a channel about three meters wide.

And the delayed gravity missiles flew through the channel just right, falling straight into the unsuspecting beast swarm.

The unsuspecting group of Galaxy Beasts was instantly pulled to the center by the gravity weapon and crushed into powder.

In just an instant, over fifty thousand of them fell.

"Roar!"

"Eat them!"

The heavy-loss beast swarm instantly turned red-eyed, the ferocity that had been restrained under the suppression of a few SS-Class Star River Beasts suddenly exploded, and they all roared and rushed up.

However, all of their attack routes seemed to be within calculations.

Energy beams always hit perfectly at the moment each monster landed, as if they were actively going up to accept destruction.

The dense beast swarm was destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They roared, hissed, and even grabbed small meteorites to throw as attacks, but it was all useless.

Under precise fire suppression, in long-range combat, technological weapons were far stronger than these carbon-based lifeforms.

"Tsk... this is the art of war."

Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It seems that after going back, I should let Asroth receive more war command knowledge. intelligent lifeforms possess powerful computing power and rationality, and are indeed the best candidates for coordinating the battlefield."

Just as he was thinking, the battle situation changed again.

A flash of lightning appeared from afar and arrived in an instant, appearing on the periphery of the fleet.

Golden thunder tens of meters thick swept across, and seven assault starships instantly had their shields pierced and fell from the void.

A golden unicorn stood proudly in the ruins.

It was the three SS-Class Star River Beasts that couldn't sit still after seeing their subordinates fall in large numbers.

"Such fast speed."

Gore's expression became somewhat solemn, and a strong fighting spirit emerged in his eyes.

"Colonel Gore, the destructive power of the SS-Class Star River Beasts exceeds the current fleet's tolerance, please intercept them immediately. I will handle the interference from other beast swarms."

"Understood, Statue of Liberty."

Gore nodded and walked straight towards the cabin door.

"Wait a moment, Brother Gore."

Zhang Huaiyuan pondered for a moment, called out to stop the other party, and said: "I have some research on Galaxy Beasts. Those that use the power of thunder to gain speed far beyond normal usually cannot last long; there will be great side effects. In addition, watch out for its horn..."

He quickly stated the information he saw with his ability in a speculative tone.

"I understand, thank you for the advice, Sir."

A flash of surprise crossed Gore's eyes. He had long guessed that the other party was an expert in this field, but he didn't expect that he could analyze these never-before-seen SS-Class Star River Beasts so thoroughly upon meeting.

He was indeed the hope for solving the Galaxy Beast disaster!

"Since the weakness is known, it is easier to deal with. The battle must be resolved cleanly; I cannot let Sir down."

Gore thought to himself, his fighting spirit becoming more and more intense.

He pushed open the cabin door without hesitation, stepped out, and some inscriptions on his battle suit flashed. The added short-range warp effect activated, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the unicorn.

The cold blade light illusion rose into the sky and slashed towards the direction of the three SS-Class Star River Beasts.

"Die!"
