The Pharmacist was still in her usual attire, a cheongsam.
Unless he couldn't dissuade Lan Jue from piloting a mecha, he preferred to dress like this.
The Pharmacist paused and turned her attention to the distant watchtower.
In the control room of the airship hangar.
"Hey, where'd that beauty come from?
She's quite the character! "Several of the pirates in charge of surveillance were watching the scene unfold through their monitors. Their eyes lit up.
"Should we notify the boss?
It's the middle of the night, what's a woman doing here? "One of the older pirates asked in confusion.
"Notify what?
What's there to do with us if we notify them?
It's early in the morning, and there's no one around.
Let's get her in here, and then we'll find a place to have some fun.
Then we'll get rid of her without anyone knowing … "
The one who spoke was a wretched pirate, but his voice ended there. He was stunned to see that behind the beauty in a long cheongsam, a light suddenly lit up, and then the display screen in front of him turned dark.
"Enemy attack?
Enemy attack! "
The drowsy crew in the control room woke up with a start. They screamed at the top of their lungs. Alarms blared across the airship hangar.
The metal watchtower in the distance began to collapse. It split in the middle, sparking with electricity.
The alarms began to blare, and the Pharmacist leapt into the air like a cloud. In a moment she was inside the hangar.
Seven stars lit up, and as they did so, a giant sword, more than a hundred meters long, appeared.
Pfft! The nearest patrol ship was cleaved in two.
"Pu!" The nearest patrol ship was instantly sliced in half by a single slash.
It opened up.
Then.
The giant sword split into a thousand pieces and shot out in every direction.
The alarms blared, and the ship's internal defense systems were activated. Layers of light flared to life, and each ship was protected by its own special shields.
The Pharmacist vanished into thin air, and the swords slammed into the shields of the surrounding airships. The Pharmacist vanished into thin air, and the swords slammed into the shields of the surrounding airships.
Blinding lights flared up.
However, the powerful energy storm swept away the pirates who had just woken up and came out of the warehouse.
In such a short period of time, not a single pirate had been able to board his mech.
The spaceship's shield played a pretty good protective role. Although the light flickered under the attack of the Big Dipper Sword, it did not break.
However, this only lasted for an instant. Immediately afterwards, the giant swords suddenly lined up in an orderly manner and flew towards the largest battleship.
A giant sword fell, and the barrier shook.
The giant sword disappeared without a sound, followed by a second, a third, a fourth …
The scarier thing was …
They all stabbed into the same spot, and in the time it took to breathe, over a hundred giant swords had already fallen and pierced through!
Penetrate!
BOOM!
Amidst a huge roar, the battleship was instantly riddled with holes, and hundreds of seven-star swords flashed, leaving a deep scar on it.
When the pirate mechs finally appeared, the battleship had already been reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
In this spaceship base, there was only one battleship.
The Big Dipper Sword slashed out. Although the area of the airship base was not small, under the sweep of these 100-meter-long giant swords, all the standing creatures disappeared in an instant.
The Pharmacist didn't have as many taboos as the Gourmet. First of all, she wasn't a Paragon, and wasn't bound by protogenia. Secondly, her path of protogenia was one of righteous slaughter. This was something she'd come to after becoming one with Occisus.
If there was righteousness in her heart, what harm was there in killing? Evil was good!
As a result, the Pharmacist didn't hold back. She herself had become one with the swords, and was constantly changing positions between the hundreds of swords.
The beams of light from the hangar's defense systems bounced off the giant swords. They didn't pose a threat.
Even the battleships could only hold on for a few minutes, let alone the patrol ships.
Fifteen minutes later, the Pharmacist reappeared on the hangar's surface. She sauntered out of the hangar like she was taking a leisurely stroll. As she walked, she activated her communicator.
"Mission accomplished.
Exterminate. "
…
"Prepare for battle!" Mika's deep voice reverberated through Zeus -1.
Zeus -1 lifted off from the moonfiend mines and rose into the air. Its cloaking systems were on full blast.
Compared to Majesty, Zeus -1 was lacking in both offense and defense. After all, they weren't of the same size. However, Zeus -1 had an advantage – agility.
Whether it was infiltration, evasion, or surface combat, it was more suited to all of them.
Majesty's combat prowess was so great that it didn't dare use its full power on the surface of a planet. It didn't want to be affected by the shockwaves. It was better suited for space combat.
But Zeus -1 was different.
Zeus -1 was the size of a patrol boat, but it had the speed, attack, and defense of a battleship. It was the perfect vessel for planetary warfare, perhaps even the Shattered Starfields.
That was why Lan Jue had given it the task of dealing with an airship hangar.
In fact, Zeus -1's mission was the most important. It wasn't just to destroy an airship hangar, it was also to provide support for Star Division.
It was also to provide support from the outside during the assault on Luna.
In the distance, their target was approaching.
"Fully charged. Ready to fire!" Xiu Xiu's voice boomed. She and Kerr were in charge of the weapons systems.
Psychic Tide and Lin Guo-guo were in charge of the recon systems.
Mika was in charge of the controls.
Zeus -1 was like a nimble nightingale as it glided through the air. Radars were useless against the S-ranked Blinding Stone.
Zeus -1's main and secondary cannons were fully charged.
After the Keeper and Bookworm's modifications, the ship's combat prowess had increased by leaps and bounds.
It was a massive upgrade.
"Weapons systems ready to fire."
Lin Guo-guo sat in Lan Jue's usual seat. She wore her helmet, and her psychic powers were one with the recon systems. She could see the entire hangar in the distance.
The pirate ships locked onto their targets.
Battleships that did not have their shields activated were the easiest to destroy, so their first attack was also the most important.
"Fire!"
Zeus -1's main cannons glowed with a faint blue light. It was the focal point of the ship's light. A massive column of blue light burst forth and fell upon the pirate hangar.
Sixty secondary cannons fired at the same time.
Under Lin Guo-guo's precise guidance, five of the secondary cannons found their mark on a single battleship.
Then the main cannons took aim at the battleships.
A total of thirteen warships were within its attack range.
Star Division's fighting style was unconventional, which was why they'd been so successful in their previous battles.
No one would have guessed that a battleship would appear above their hangar without warning. No radar could detect it.
The shields required a large amount of energy, and were only activated when an enemy attacked.
However, if the attack came without warning, they wouldn't have time to react.
Battleships attacked at the speed of light, and even if the shields were automatically activated, it would take time to activate.
In the next instant, the entire spaceship base exploded like fireworks, and countless violent explosions rang out.
There were two battleships in the hangar, side by side.
Zeus -1's main cannon was the first to arrive. It struck one of the battleships.
If this had been a space battle, with both ships' shields up, the battleship would have suffered a major loss of energy, or even been damaged by a direct hit from Zeus -1's main cannon.
At this moment, it was completely defenseless against such an attack, so the result could be imagined.
Kerr's eyes were wild with passion. She quickly began to recharge.
She gripped the controls in front of her and poured her Discipline into the battleship.
Even a ninth level Adept couldn't rely on their own power to bring out the battleship's full potential.
However, a large amount of Discipline would greatly reduce the time it took to recharge.
For this reason, besides piloting mechas, Adepts were most welcome in the role of a battleship's fire controller.
Of course, at the level of a commander-class battleship, one or two Adepts wouldn't be of much use.
Only a large number of Adepts would be able to make a difference.
Mika's mouth twitched. "This hangar is like a piece of paper.
There's no resistance. "
Xiu Xiu smirked. "It's not that they're made of paper. We're just too strong!
We can't help it. "
"Yeah." Mika nodded in agreement.
Star Division hadn't used their full strength against the other pirate clans. They'd fought like a lion hunting a rabbit, sometimes ending the fight in a matter of minutes. That was why they hadn't shown much of their strength.
This time, however, Moonfiend was different. Everyone was involved, even a Paragon like the Gourmet.
Star Division was on full display.
That was why Lan Jue and Su Xiaosu had said this would be a test of Star Division's true strength.
The battle was in full swing, and Star Division was on full display.
