Chapter 733: On the Brink_5
Xiao Wen estimated that even if their fleet entered the battlefield now, there was a high probability they would become cannon fodder if their luck was bad.
But even so, Xiao Wen and his team felt no fear.
They followed Su Mo's commands without question.
Time ticked away slowly.
Su Mo's eyebrows were nearly twisted into a knot. He constantly monitored the battle conditions of the six transport fleets, noticing that no matter which one it was, they were all fiercely engaged in combat.
After some calculation, he realized that even if he piloted the Fake V Generation Mecha into battle, he might end up on the ground if targeted, let alone leading Xiao Wen and others into the fray.
The situation was so chaotic that he couldn't manage it, and Xiao Wen and the others would likely all suffer heavy losses.
...
Inside the Earth Star·Council Hall.
Council President Long Ming's cloudy eyes were fixed on the real-time battle images from various battlefield regions, observing the entangled Imperial Fleet without a hint of joy on his face.
Tang Qin reported in a low voice to Council President Long Ming: "All the battles in various regions are going very smoothly; the Imperial fleet has been stalled. Our people are breaking through their defenses, trying to destroy their transport ships. Although the Imperial Army is stronger than us, they are at a disadvantage with their passive defense. If all goes well, there shouldn't be any problem. The only pity is that capturing their supplies is difficult as many of the sunk Imperial transport ships choose to self-destruct or violently destroy their cargo."
Long Ming sighed softly and said in a low voice.
"From the moment we acted, I pretty much knew the outcome. But there is nothing to rejoice about. Our brave soldiers did not die on the battlefield fighting monsters but sacrificed themselves in such meaningless internal conflicts. This is deeply regrettable."
After listening, Tang Qin also fell into silence. Indeed, in this battle, it was not only the Imperial Army that suffered; the Alliance Army's situation was not much better.
Star Ring City Center·Star-Picking Tower.
A woman with silver long hair, wearing a blue long dress, her expression cold as ice and her demeanor proud and elegant, sat sideways on the Starry Throne, holding a crystal-clear, translucent crystal goblet in her right hand, filled with vibrant wine like a red ruby.
She elegantly tasted the wine as she observed the fierce battle in the starry sky.
The beauty before them was none other than the City Lord of Star Ring City·Icaroya.
At this moment, Goli walked up to Icaroya, glanced at the fierce battle, revealing a hint of concern on her face, and asked Icaroya.
"Sister, should we not stop them? Are we just letting them continue fighting?"
Icaroya showed no concern, simply saying calmly: "Let them fight, the fiercer the better. Only the victor has the right to live, and those who survive are the strongest and most valuable. I want a pack of wolves, not a flock of greenhouse sheep."
"Understood."
Goli responded respectfully.
------------------------------------
Two days later, in the command room of the Far Wind.
Su Mo was still watching the battlefield, yet he had not ordered to join the battle.
Xiao Wen maintained unusual composure throughout and never urged Su Mo. As for Sun Duoxiang and Mo Baoke, seeing the scale of the battlefield, they were already scared.
They hoped Su Mo would stay out, and certainly would not urge him.
By now, the battle had reached a fever pitch, and both sides were so enraged, many of the Imperial Transport Ships had already sunk.
Su Mo's brows furrowed further.
"What's wrong? It looks like you're troubled by something."
Swallower, the Fake Owner's deep voice echoed in Su Mo's mind.
Su Mo didn't respond to Swallower, the Fake Owner. Instead, he continued scanning the battlefield across various regions, his expression constantly changing.
He seemed to have thought of something, but remained unsure.
But soon Su Mo's eyes became remarkably determined.
"Link Sun Duoxiang and Mo Baoke!"
"Yes!"
Sean replied immediately.
Soon enough, the holographic images of Sun Duoxiang and Mo Baoke emerged. Seeing the communications link with Su Mo, their hearts raced, and they both took a deep breath, bracing themselves as they replied.
"Boss, are we going to start fighting now? Give your command."
"Transmit my command, all ships turn the bow, target the Sea Origin Star Domain!"
Su Mo wasted no words and directly gave the order.
"Yes, target the Sea Origin Star Domain, wait? Boss, didn't you give the wrong order? Aren't we supposed to intercept the Imperial ships? Why fly there?"
Sun Duoxiang and the others just responded, then froze, staring at Su Mo in shock.
Even Xiao Wen was utterly surprised.
The Sea Origin Star Domain is located in the rear star domain between Star Ring City and the frontline direction.
"Execute! Full speed ahead!"
Su Mo did not elaborate.
"Understood!"
Xiao Wen, seeing Su Mo hadn't given the wrong order, didn't ask further and immediately issued the navigation command.
Sun Duoxiang and Mo Baoke, though still confused, didn't say much more.
Soon, Su Mo's fleet advanced at full speed toward the Sea Origin Star Domain.
Swallower, the Fake Owner, asked Su Mo in puzzlement: "What are you doing?"
"You'll see, there might be a surprise,"
Su Mo did not offer much explanation.
Although Swallower, the Fake Owner, was still very puzzled, it refrained from asking further questions. It completely couldn't understand why Su Mo was doing this.
