His admiration for Lan Qing filled his heart.
What he had brought was not only a victory, but more importantly, humanity's long-lost confidence!
He used his actions to prove to everyone that the aliens were not invincible.
This was the first time Kang Hui had seen Bastion ships work together in such a way.
Without Middle Heaven's protection, they and Neptune wouldn't have been able to charge their main cannons without the enemy noticing.
They wouldn't have been able to engage in a crossfire to maximize their effectiveness.
In the past, the East had never had enough bastions for the God of Wisdom to command and train!
How did he come up with this idea?
In fact, there was no record of Bastion ships working together in battle.
Bastion ships were already so strong that they didn't need to work together.
But Lan Qing's actions proved that Bastion ships needed to work together in order to unleash their full potential.
Kang Hui felt that after experiencing this battle, his horizons had been broadened.
If he had to describe Lan Qing's fighting style, there was only one ancient Chinese phrase that could best describe it. Unfathomable.
Lan Qing's tactics had no set pattern to them. Sometimes he was aggressive, sometimes he was calm, sometimes he attacked from the front, sometimes he was ambushed.
It was like he was playing a game of chess, and the outcome of the game was in his head.
By now the alien army had scattered. They didn't return to Angel, but instead flew off into the distance.
They still controlled a large number of human planets in this region of space, so they had places to go.
Angel, however, had been breached.
That meant a gap had been opened in the human army.
This was something they had to do. Whether it was good or bad, they didn't know, but at least they'd won a victory.
Even if they took control of Angel, they still had to face the possibility of slipping into a trap laid out by the aliens. Retreat was out of the question.
The aliens weren't at a disadvantage. They'd created a situation where humanity had no choice but to advance.
What awaited them now, and whether or not the home worlds had begun to evolve, were still unknown.
Therefore, today's victory was just the beginning.
However, the significance of this battle was undoubtedly great. With confidence came momentum. The moment of victory was undoubtedly the moment when the entire army's morale was at its highest. This was undoubtedly very important to an army.
The twelve fleets were spread out in space. Eight of them were spread out in a circle, keeping a watchful eye on the outside. Three bastions flew in the center, forming a triangle as they closed in on Angel. When they were within range, they hovered in the air.
The human army still maintained a neat formation without any loopholes.
Middle Heaven's battleships had already been prepared. More than five hundred ships set out for Angel.
There were more than 30,000 mechas on these 500 landing ships, which was equivalent to the combat power of three entire divisions.
This included Star Division, the strongest force in the world.
Majesty was at the forefront of all the landing ships, leaving a trail of flame in its wake as it headed for Angel.
More than two hundred battleships were escorting the landing craft to avoid the sudden appearance of the aliens.
Of course, the chances of that happening were slim.
When the aliens were defeated, they weren't the only ones in space. Even the ones on the surface of Angel were defeated. They fled without a care in the world.
When Majesty received the signal that it was safe, Lan Jue appeared on the ship's screens. Majesty's crew cheered.
Before they left, Star Division knew Lan Jue was already on Angel with the others. He was the vanguard of the Star Division.
"Boss, how are things on your side?" Su Xiaosu's face was flushed. It wasn't from embarrassment, but from excitement.
All of them had just witnessed the unprecedented battle between the humans and the aliens. They had witnessed the victory, and it was a huge boost to their confidence.
Lan Jue smiled. "We've killed the progenitor. Everything's normal. Follow the coordinates I gave you.
You have a difficult mission ahead of you.
The aliens have retreated, but they've left behind a large number of infected and genetically altered humans.
We have to be careful when we move. We just tested it out. The modified human body has the ability to self-destruct, and the power is quite great.
You guys should also remind the other allied forces that are landing. "
"Yes, sir!" Su Xiaosu nodded and sent out the message.
From the looks of things, the battle was going much easier than they'd anticipated. There were no aliens strong enough to stop them.
"Boss, did you break through?
That light from Angel, is it … "Su Xiaosu asked, trying to get a feel for the situation.
Tang Xiao, Tang Mi, and Jin Tao had all gathered around. To them, nothing was more important than Lan Jue.
Lan Jue nodded, confirming Xiaosu's question.
Everyone cheered. They'd waited a long time for this day.
Ever since Lan Qing had broken through, they'd hoped Lan Jue would do the same. She'd become the youngest Paragon.
Huali and Chu Cheng had broken through, but Lan Jue hadn't.
They didn't feel good about it. They knew their teacher was a proud man. Everyone around him had broken through, and he was the only one who hadn't.
But they didn't dare ask.
Lan Jue hadn't told them until the very beginning of the mission.
They were overjoyed. They were happy for Lan Jue.
Lan Jue smiled. Her face was cold. "We'll talk about it when the war is over.
Be careful. "
Through the screen, Lan Jue saw a familiar face. Tan Lingyun, the Savage Goddess. Tan Lingyun stared at the man on the screen.
He'd broken through?
He'd become a Paragon?
A Paragon at such a young age, it was unbelievable!
He was Lei Feng, that man. He didn't wear a mask, but he was still that man!
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She turned her head away from him.
Tan Lingyun knew that this man would never belong to her.
Whether he wore a mask or not, that would never change.
Lan Jue hung up, then turned his attention to the scene before him.
This was the gymnasium they had been to last time. Not all the aliens had left, at least those infected by the Progenitor could not escape.
With the progenitor dead, the infected had lost control. One by one they fell to the ground and died.
But the genetically modified humans didn't.
When they saw Lan Jue and the others, they charged out in a frenzy and tried to attack them.
When things didn't work out, the humans self-destructed. It was a powerful explosion.
Everyone's good mood was ruined. If these aggressive humans were to run into someone who was still alive, there was no doubt what would happen.
In other words, the number of survivors on Angel was few and far between.
What's more, they hadn't found any humans who hadn't been genetically modified.
In other words, all the people on this planet had basically become genetically modified humans.
And not a small number.
Roxanne had used her spatial Discipline to seal away the modified humans in the arena. Sealing them would only make them lose their ability to attack, but it wouldn't solve the problem.
The Keeper and the others had reached a bottleneck in their research. Genetics had always been the most mysterious existence of the human body, and restoring these modified humans wasn't something they could accomplish in a day or two.
But sealing them away would only lead them to their deaths.
What's more, the number of modified humans on this planet was astronomical. There were tens of millions of them, perhaps even hundreds of millions!
They'd be a huge problem.
"Don't think too much about it. Get some rest. You've just ascended, and although you haven't had enough time to stabilize your powers, you can't just keep fighting like this." Roxanne patted Lan Jue's shoulder comfortingly.
"Mm." Lan Jue nodded. She went to the arena's bleachers and found a quiet place to rest.
But he didn't immediately sit down cross-legged. His eyes flashed with a complicated emotion, and he looked hesitant.
Yes, he was hesitant. He was about to face a situation that would leave him in pain for the rest of his life.
He'd always wanted to break through to Paragon. One of the main reasons was that once he broke through, his lover would come back, and he'd regain his consciousness.
But now that the time had come, Lan Jue's heart was filled with uncertainty.
He and Qianlin had broken through at the same time. They'd both broken through to Reflection of Heaven and Earth, and were now Paragons.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
At the end of the third watch, he pleaded with everyone.
