Holmen's eyes were glued to the screen in front of him. He watched Tyrannosaurus and its fleet battle the alien planets.
These aliens were cunning, using this kind of tactic. If he'd encountered them for the first time, he'd have been in trouble.
Kang Hui, you lowly bastard, you have to hold on!
Wait for me, I'll help you kill these aliens.
No matter how much they cared about profit, protecting the Northern Alliance was something they all shared.
"Sir!
Admiral, we've detected strong life signatures on the radar. "The staff officer's voice was urgent.
Holmen and Kang Hui operated Bastion in different ways. Kang Hui was more hands-on, relying on his keen eyes to analyze the data.
Holmen, on the other hand, delegated most of the responsibility to his subordinates. He believed that no matter how strong a person was, there was a limit to how much they could do.
Only by gathering the strength of more people could they achieve more things.
His subordinates were the fastest in the army. Although he was irascible and cold, he was loved and respected by his subordinates.
Unless there was a special circumstance, the staff would take care of things on their own. They wouldn't report to him.
"Prepare for battle. How's the main cannon charging?" His eyes flashed dangerously. He slapped the desk in front of him.
Immediately, a metal hoop popped up on both sides of his chair, fixing his entire body in his seat. The desk in front of him suddenly split open, and various control panels rose up from below, forming an extremely complicated operation interface.
"Main cannon charged forty-one percent. Remaining time: eleven minutes and thirty-two seconds."
"Full charge. Turn thirty degrees to the left.
Reduce speed by forty percent. "Palmont's voice was cold.
Arachnid's massive body spun around in midair. One of its metal arms reached out and pressed against the surface of a large asteroid. It pushed hard, forcing the ship to change its course even as it was flying at high speed.
At the same time, the other eight metal arms retracted around the bastion.
One by one, railguns popped out of the ship's hull.
Dots of light could be seen on the surface of Arachnid's hull. They were the result of the railguns.
Just then, a violet planet appeared not too far in front of Arachnid. Countless beams of violet light erupted from the planet and shot toward Arachnid's position.
A smile appeared on Holmen's cold face at this moment.
Kang Hui's prediction was right.
Did they really come?
Good!
Come on then.
Brothers of the Seventh Fleet, wait for me to avenge you!
Arachnid's surface glowed brightly as its railguns took aim. At the same time it sped off to the side.
Numbers began to appear on the screen in front of Holmen. According to his calculations, the planet was thirty-two times the size of Arachnid.
It was much larger in size.
The amount of energy it contained was incalculable.
Holmen did not panic in the slightest because this situation was within his expectations.
Come on, you bastard!
The rays of purplish-red light were extremely fast and were rapidly approaching.
Through the screen, they could see that it was a group of giant aliens.
At the very front was a group of umbrella-shaped aliens.
Their bodies were large, and their targets were obvious.
However, they were incredibly nimble in space. They weaved in and out of the way, changing directions.
They gave off an unfathomable aura.
At the same time, the umbrella-shaped aliens pulsed with powerful psychic energy that interfered with radar's ability to lock onto them.
"First Fighter Division, release them!" Holmen ordered.
Arachnid's surface opened up a series of tunnels. A moment later, a swarm of interstellar fighters began to pour out from the ship's interior.
These fighter aircrafts were all silver-white in color. Each of them was about 50 meters long and had a streamlined design.
As soon as they emerged they spread out and began to circle around Arachnid.
A bastion's internal structure was different from that of a regular army. Here, a division of space fighters was a thousand.
Generally speaking, a bastion was equipped with five to ten thousand fighters.
These were its most important weapons.
Tyrannosaurus couldn't deploy its fighters in the midst of the asteroid storm.
Arachnid, however, was facing a different situation.
Paelmen quickly dispatched a division of soldiers.
In space combat, fighters were often more effective than mechas, because they were easier to coordinate.
Mechas, on the other hand, were superior on the ground, because they had more flexibility and adaptability.
There were many ways in which fighters could fight. A Bastion with a full complement of fighters was enough to contend with an interstellar fleet.
It was clear to see how strong they were.
The fighters of Arachnid's First Fighter Division spread out as soon as they emerged. However, they didn't disperse completely. Instead, they split into a hundred groups of ten.
In this way, when they attacked, they would be able to ensure that their attacks were the strongest.
The aliens seemed to have been catapulted from an alien planet. They moved with incredible speed, and arrived just as First Fighter Division spread out.
However, what greeted them first wasn't the fighters, but more than five hundred beams of light.
The beams of light pierced through the gaps between the fighters and found the aliens with unerring accuracy.
Railguns!
Arachnid was the ultimate weapon of humanity.
Every railgun was controlled by a specialist to ensure it didn't harm its allies.
When the railgun was fired, all the Space Combat Jets would stop on their own to prevent accidental damage.
The battle was in full swing!
The umbrella-shaped aliens at the front reacted quickly. Their enormous bodies spun in midair, and purple orbs were flung out of their grasp. The orbs gathered in midair and formed a barrier in front of them.
A moment later, a thunderous explosion shook the entire universe.
Blinding white light and purple light intertwined.
Holmen's face tightened as he watched from behind the controls. In his mind, this round of attacks would deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
After all, these were only ordinary aliens released by the alien planet. Holmen had already deployed a large number of first-level and second-level railguns.
But that wasn't the case.
Floating in the air were giant alien shields with tortoiseshell patterns.
They were large enough to keep the rest of the attacking aliens at bay. They took the brunt of the railgun's power.
Through the long-range scanning system, they could see that these creatures were enormous. They floated in the air like turtles, heavy and clumsy.
Their bodies were much larger than turtles, oval in shape. They were more than two hundred meters long, and a hundred meters short.
Their shells were a deep purple, and shone with a deep light and patterns. They were thick and sturdy, and had incredible defensive capabilities.
The railgun slammed into them, but only managed to push them back. The shells rippled with dark purple light, but they didn't show any signs of damage.
Even Lan Jue, who was most familiar with these creatures, couldn't recognize them. He'd never seen them before.
The shield-beasts were carried by the umbrella-shaped aliens, like natural shields.
The umbrella-shaped aliens hid behind the shield-beasts, pushing their massive bodies forward against the railgun's power. The rest of the aliens followed close behind.
Off in the distance, the alien planet continued to rise. It was following, pressing forward!
Holmen sat in Arachnid's control room, his expression grave.
It wasn't because the Hidden Armor aliens had blocked the first wave of attacks. Rather, it was because he realized that these aliens were highly intelligent.
Everything was planned and premeditated.
"Wargod's Blade!"
Holmen shouted coldly into the communicator. At the same time, he pressed an unusually bright red button on the control panel in front of him.
The fighters that had flown out of Arachnid scattered like petals from the heavens. Not only that, but more were coming out of Arachnid.
However, the interstellar rail cannons quickly flipped and closed, and there was even a thick alloy armor blocking the outside.
The bastion's energy shields shrank inwards. It looked like they were getting smaller, but in reality they were becoming more solid.
Even more frightening was the fact that Arachnid's eight long, slender legs spread out. As they did so, the metal plates on the back grew thicker, while the front became as sharp as a blade.
Arachnid was thirty thousand meters in diameter, and each of its legs was more than eight thousand meters long.
The legs were divided into two halves, five thousand four hundred meters long at the back, and three thousand six hundred meters at the front.
In other words, in a short time Arachnid had transformed into eight blades, each three thousand six hundred meters long.
They were called: Wargod's Blade!
Tyrannosaurus was so powerful because of its size and comprehensive combat capabilities, but it was a traditional bastion ship.
It had an enormous reserve of energy at its core.
What it excelled at was coordinating with an interstellar fleet.
At the end of the third watch.
