They flew out and headed for the densest concentration of aliens.
The alien army was in a state of chaos.
Middle Heaven's attack had been so sudden that the aliens didn't have time to react. By the time they had time to react, they were already scrambling to protect themselves. Then came another beam of light. More damage was done. Even the super alien in charge of the ship was killed.
For a time, the bandit army was like a dragon without a leader. How could it not be chaotic?
By the time the six blue orbs arrived, the alien army was in a state of chaos. They had no way to advance or retreat.
The six blue balls of light looked exceptionally dazzling. Each one of them was crystal clear like a gemstone, and there was a halo circulating within them. It was as if they contained a blue world of water.
They didn't seem to be moving very quickly, but in the blink of an eye they were in the midst of the alien army. Rings of hazy blue light spread out in all directions.
There was no violent rumbling or explosion. The blue halo expanded soundlessly, and it was even exceptionally gorgeous.
Wherever it passed, the aliens became blue statues. They floated in the air, motionless.
These statues were as clear as the orbs. They were dazzlingly beautiful, but their beauty didn't last long. They dissolved into streams of blue water that dissipated into space.
All that remained were their vital crystals.
The blue light seemed to possess a special power that melted them away.
The six rings of light covered a vast area, even larger than Middle Heaven's.
Suddenly, six rings of blue light appeared in space. Their dazzling brilliance dazzled all who saw them.
In a matter of minutes the tide of battle had turned upside down. The alien army crumbled in the face of this unexpected turn of events.
In that short time the aliens had lost at least a fifth of their forces, and that wasn't even counting those who had been injured by the shockwaves.
Shrill buzzing filled the air as the alien army scattered in a frenzy.
Humanity's forces were already on the move the moment the six orbs appeared. The twelve fleets stopped their retreat and charged at full speed. Their main and secondary cannons fired in unison as they charged at the alien army.
The tide of battle had turned too quickly for the eyes to take in. But in the blink of an eye the alien army was beginning to crumble.
It was all part of Lan Qing's plan.
Ever since the war between humans and the aliens began, humans had been at an absolute disadvantage. This gave rise to a feeling that the aliens were invincible.
But was it really so?
Were they truly invincible?
Lan Qing had used his actions and his command to show them that the aliens weren't to be feared. They weren't perfect, they had their flaws, they had their weaknesses. Behind their strength, they also had their weaknesses.
Yes, Middle Heaven's true power had been revealed when it had transformed into the shape of a sun.
Middle Heaven was the bastion's most powerful weapon.
The Solar Cannon just now was one of its most powerful attacks.
In an instant, every part of his body became the starting point for firing cannons, allowing the enormous energy contained in the Ink Element to be released in an instant, thereby achieving a terrifying attack power that could attack from all directions and angles.
In fact, Middle Heaven's cannon wasn't designed to be used on the battlefield, but for self-defense.
However, after the Middle Extreme Sun Cannon was developed, it wasn't meant to be used on the battlefield, but for self-protection.
Although the Middle Pole Solar Cannon was powerful, it also had many drawbacks.
The most important of these was its short range.
It wasn't that the Solar Cannon couldn't be fired further, but the instantaneous energy consumption of this kind of omnidirectional firing based on a planet was simply too terrifying.
Even its core couldn't withstand it.
If too much energy was released, it would destabilize the core and cause Middle Heaven to explode.
Because of this, Middle Heaven's cannon was limited to a limited area.
It was specifically designed to deal with the alien tentacles that lurked in space.
Lan Qing had taken advantage of the alien's close-quarters combat prowess to make Middle Heaven their target. When the aliens closed in on them, Middle Heaven's Solar Cannon proved to be an unimaginable success.
It killed countless enemies in an instant.
And this was only the beginning. Middle Heaven's cannon could last more than a minute. For Tyrannosaurus and Neptune, a minute was enough time for their main cannons to recharge.
Under the cover of Middle Heaven's blinding light, a minute was enough for both bastions to recharge.
Bastion ships didn't use their main cannons lightly in battle. First, it consumed too much energy, and second, it couldn't be fired again for a short period of time. They were reserved for critical moments.
Lan Qing had studied the history of humanity's battles with the aliens.
The two most important were the three bastions of the Northern Alliance in the Shattered Starfields, and the eight bastions in the Northern Alliance's territory.
He discovered that the aliens were afraid of the main cannons of humanity's bastions. Humanity's weapons had reached a level of destructive power that was unparalleled in the universe.
The power of the main cannons exceeded the limits of universal protogenia. But the aliens weren't alive, so they weren't subject to such restrictions.
Lan Qing also noticed that during the battle the aliens had been trying to find a way to limit the Bastion's cannon fire. That way they couldn't unleash the full power of their weapons.
From what Lan Qing could tell, humanity's main cannons had never hit the home planets.
This meant that the main cannons of Middle Heaven's bastions were a threat to the home worlds, and a threat to the aliens themselves.
Therefore, today's battle had begun with a plan to maximize the power of the bastions' main cannons. He would do everything he could to destroy the enemy and turn the tide.
The alien army was spread out, allowing them to evade the bastions' main cannons.
The aliens were familiar with human bastions. They knew that a bastion's main cannon would take a long time to recharge, and there would be obvious flaws in the system.
This was how they'd faced the bastions before. After many attempts they'd discovered that the bastions' main cannons were completely defensible, and they'd underestimate them.
This time, however, they'd fallen for their trap.
First of all, they didn't know much about Middle Heaven. They didn't expect its main cannon to be so different.
Middle Heaven's main cannon had already been fired, so it shouldn't be able to fire again.
What they didn't know was that Middle Heaven's power was far greater than any bastion's, and its main cannon's cooldown was much shorter.
Furthermore, the ring-shaped shells they'd fired earlier weren't from Middle Heaven's main cannon.
Under these circumstances, they were at a disadvantage.
Tyrannosaurus' main cannon had finished charging while Middle Heaven was busy firing. It had taken out the strongest alien in one fell swoop, and had also dealt some damage to the others.
The six balls of blue light had come from Neptune.
Just as they weren't familiar with Middle Heaven, the aliens weren't familiar with Neptune either.
The six balls of blue light were called Soft Water Cannons. It was an ordinary name, but they could also be called Neptune cannons, because they were Neptune's main cannons.
Soft Water Cannons were a powerful weapon developed by the Hanhai Group themselves. They combined a special type of energy with the Hanhai Group's research to create a special substance they called Soft Water.
Soft Water Cannons could assimilate almost anything in the world, especially living things.
If the cannon's target was a human battleship, then it was likely that the ship would be fine after the Soft Water baptism, but everything inside would be destroyed.
Soft Water also had the ability to penetrate all energy defenses. It was terrifying.
This was the Hanhai Group's true secret weapon. Only the highest echelons of the Hanhai Group knew about it.
Even Mo Xiao didn't know about it until Huali had a child.
The Hanhai Group had come with confidence, not just because they trusted Lan Qing, but because they had faith in themselves. It was because of this that they had come.
They'd already tested the Soft Water Cannons and found that they were effective against the aliens.
Today, when the six Weak Water Cannonballs were launched, they really played a huge role on the battlefield. Their lethality even exceeded the power of the Solar Cannon.
They assimilated living things, turning them into water.
It was an attack designed to deal with the aliens. Their life force was instantly drained away, and only the vital crystals were spared.
Middle Heaven floated in the air, unmoving. Tyrannosaurus and Neptune were already on the move.
They followed the twelve fleets as fast as they could, chasing the fleeing aliens.
Today is the third watch, a new week begins.
