Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 744 - 730 Breakout Battle (6)

One by one, the Light Escort Ships that had retired from active Empire Army service were able to employ spatial sealing techniques similar to the Mechanical Behemoth, after being modulated with primitive mass by Bai Zhongqi. Although it might not be on as grand a scale as an entire galaxy or star region, it was more than enough to handle tens of thousands of warships.

The Galactic Army was deploying its fleet for a breakout in multiple directions. The very astute Divine General Sanlin Luzhi, to maintain a unified tempo, had set a precise route for all warships to arrive at the inner nodes simultaneously, even prescribing dozens of different speed changes. To counter the Iridium Star people’s use of the anti-warp, the Galactic Army had also developed countermeasures, ensuring all fleets could navigate without disruption.

Nevertheless, the Iridium Star people completely thwarted their breakout efforts. Unmanned Light Escort Ships directly warped to the Galactic Army’s travel route. Regardless of the fact that the Galactic Army was not traveling on the surface of space but within a warp bubble, the enemy initiated a spatial seal, making it impossible for the warp bubbles to leave the area.

Even if the Galactic Army managed to sink a few Iridium Star Light Escort Ships, it was too late. Vast numbers of the Galactic Army’s fleet were trapped in different locations. The Iridium Star Fleet didn’t engage them in combat; they just hung there, like ships in a massive prison, unable to escape.

Of course, not all breakout fleets were trapped by Zang Xingyan’s tactic. Several main forces of the Galactic Army fleets were not sealed but encountered large fleets dispatched by Zang Xingyan.

Sanlin Luzhi led five Strategic Fleet groups – the only Galactic Army fleet to reach the inner node. There Sanlin Luzhi saw the sealed inner node and the vast numbers of the Iridium Star United Empire Fleet.

Sanlin Luzhi was silent.

A cool male voice transmitted over the public communication channel, "Your Excellency the Second Divine General, I hear your civilization values spiritual cultivation and a life of asceticism, where everyone is a hermit, preferring solitude. That’s wonderful because, before becoming the Iridium Star’s Chief Knight and the Commander of the Empire Army, I too once lived in seclusion among the bamboo forests, and when I think about it now, I truly miss that life."

Sanlin Luzhi knew who the other party was but did not respond.

Nevertheless, the fellow on the other side kept chattering on, "In the quiet, one can ponder many things. I still often go to my bamboo hut, bare my upper body, drink clear tea, and sometimes watch adult films, cough cough, anyways, such a life was indeed good."

Finally, Zang Xingyan’s words turned serious and stern, "So, it was truly a wrong choice for your noble Peak Civilization to abandon such a beautiful life, to follow a Galactic Emperor whose true nature is unknown and has deemed our Iridium Star a heavenly disaster, causing so much trouble for the United Empire."

"It is time to pay the price for your wrong choices."

The communication cut off.

From beginning to end, Sanlin Luzhi didn’t speak.

Before the attack from the Iridium Star’s million-strong fleet, Sanlin Luzhi released a piece of information from his shadowy body, which was not translated into a human voice by the electronic translator.

He was saying, "So it turns out that in this world, besides myself, there is another Star God."

With that, his figure, dark as the night sky, vanished on the spot, and the long robe and mask he wore scattered on the ground.

The other Divine Generals displayed on the bridge via holographic projection were dumbfounded at this scene.

The irascible Dagu Civilization Divine General Muwato angrily said, "That bastard, he actually just ran off? Does he really think he can escape from here just by running?"

As a master Star Warrior, Su Shuang, who understood the existence of Star Gods better, spoke up, "Sanlin Luzhi isn’t a carbon-based life form at all; he’s an ion-based life form. What we’ve always seen isn’t his real body; it can only be said to be a puppet. In this universe, such an entity is the hardest to kill, especially since he’s a Star God. Nobody knows how many bodies he actually has—maybe a thousand, maybe ten thousand—but unless all are killed, Sanlin Luzhi will not die. Therefore, we lose and die, but Sanlin Luzhi does not."

Even the Divine Generals who had initially approved of Sanlin Luzhi were now cursing non-stop, but it was all too late to say anything.

The most fierce, Howling Sea Beast Divine General Kuo Shu, trapped in one place, bellowed, "It’s nothing more than fighting Iridium Star to the death, and if we die, so be it!"

Suo Kexiao, however, said sarcastically, "Really? Once the Iridium Star people have wiped out Sanlin Luzhi’s fleet, they can turn back and eliminate us one by one. We’ll be like a herd of lambs, powerless to resist."

The most fearful Burden, shivering, asked, "Isn’t the Galactic Emperor going to do something about it? We’re all going to lose."

Su Shuang said coldly, "The last time the tenth Divine General Tai Ruonuo lost a battle, the Galactic Emperor did do something—he killed countless people to form Mechanical Behemoths, but in the end, Bai Zhongqi still survived and didn’t even suffer significant damage."

Suo Kexiao added, "I reckon the Galactic Emperor can’t defeat Bai Zhongqi. Otherwise, let’s change sides and join Iridium Star."

Su Shuang was not courteous to his close friend either, "You’ve always been against Iridium Star; I don’t think the Iridium Star Chancellor will let you go. Perhaps it would be more practical to stew you in a pot."

While several Divine Generals were discussing irresponsibly, the fifty thousand Galactic Empire warships led by Sanlin Luzhi, now headless, were being ruthlessly slaughtered by the million-strong Iridium Star fleet.

Su Shuang glanced and sent a message to Suo Kexiao.

"It’s time to go."

Suo Kexiao replied, "It’s a good thing we prepared escape ships that haven’t been contaminated by the Galactic Emperor’s Crystal Cube Core. But to be honest, even if we escape, with Iridium Star’s pursuit, can we really survive?"

"Let’s go to the most ordinary planets, preferably those where the administrative reach of the Iridium Star United Empire isn’t so strong, and live as commoners, observing how the situation unfolds," Su Shuang suggested.

"It seems that’s all we can do," Suo Kexiao said with regret, but his tone was rather light.

Su Shuang asked, "Are you really so thick-skinned that you don’t feel worry or fear at all?"

Suo Kexiao still spoke lightly, but replied, "No, I live in constant worry and fear."

Su Shuang could hear his sincerity but didn’t press further. The two successfully escaped from the Galactic Empire warships, and no one seemed to notice them. Shortly after their escape, the Empire fleet’s warships emitted a faint light, and their hulls started to undulate like jelly.
