Facing Jia Yan’s death, everyone expressed their inability to accept it.
However, there was only one place that, at this moment, witnessed this scene. Although tears were flowing, they also held disbelief, but they weren’t as grief-stricken as expected.
"Mom, mom, don’t worry. Brother just sent us a message, saying he’s not dead and will come back after some time."
Jia Lin wiped her tears and tried to comfort her silently crying mother.
Though she didn’t believe the words herself, she recalled that her brother had ’died’ before and then revived. Even with the Giant Mosquito, there seemed to be some inexplicable connection, so the words she spoke grew more firm.
"Yes, I know, I know, but in that explosion, it must have been so painful. Xiao Yan, it must have been so painful..." Saying this, Mother Jia couldn’t hold back her tears.
"Wife, stop saying that. Our son won’t die. Having a son like this, I’m content with this life as Jia Sheng. It’s enough."
Father Jia was also choking with emotion, yet he still tried to comfort his wife.
Before this event, Jia Yan had sent a short communication to his family, telling them not to worry. He would disappear for a time but assured them he could revive.
The people from Jia’s family were not too saddened, but other Earth people didn’t know this, and almost the whole Earth was in chaos.
Whether they liked Jia Yan or not, everyone now understood that losing Jia Yan left Earth as vulnerable as an undefended infant. If another fleet came, they would be doomed.
Ironically, prior intelligence had informed all Earth people that another fleet was a few hundred million kilometers away from Earth, set to arrive in a matter of hours.
At this point, intelligence across the Earth was almost public because, at the last moment, secrecy served no purpose and could only erode public trust. As a result, everyone soon knew about the incoming fleet.
Instantly, Earth fell into chaos!
Without Jia Yan, without the Guardian Deity, people dared not imagine how to fend off the enemies.
And amidst this emotion, several Earth battleships that seemed like wandering souls searched the cooling explosion site for Jia Yan, suddenly heard a cold shout.
"Get a grip!"
From the command vessel, Kari, the Earth Fleet Marshal, shouted out loud.
In truth, he was slightly shocked inside. After all, when he heard of Lord Jia Yan’s plan earlier, he felt Jia Yan should still have some hope of survival, but the reality in front of him showed that Lord Jia Yan, in jest, truly sacrificed himself like that.
But as the likely only one on all of Earth who could confirm that this ’Jia Yan’ was actually the ’Giant Mosquito’, he wasn’t too frightened and shouted out at this moment.
With Jia Yan gone, he, as the Marshal of the Earth Fleet, became the backbone of the entire fleet. He had trained this fleet for over ten years, and his prestige sometimes was even above Jia Yan’s.
So when he bellowed, all Earth soldiers reflexively ceased their near-mad emotional state.
"Everyone, calm down. Lord Jia Yan said he’s not dead, which means he is still alive. Don’t forget the task Lord Jia Yan left us: to hold off the new invaders!"
"Soldiers, Lord Jia Yan has already dealt with a great enemy for us. Next, it’s our turn to stop another great one with our blood and flesh. Just eight... no, seven hours later, everything will be clear skies!"
Following Kari’s words, the eyes of the Earth soldiers gradually lit up.
Even though they were still heartbroken, they recalled Jia Yan’s last mission!
That was, after his disappearance, the Earth Fleet must independently resist the newly arriving invaders.
Almost minutes later, the Earth Fleet abandoned the task of searching for Jia Yan and flew towards the east of Earth with slightly irregular formations.
The true adventure of the Earth Fleet had begun.
Not far from the Solar System’s edge, space twisted slightly.
It seemed that within this space, there was a huge entity hiding inside, but this creature hadn’t appeared in normal space and was almost invisible.
"Damn! The more I try to stop, the shallower the subspace level, even shallower than if I entered subspace by myself."
Jia Yan, clad in battle armor, almost helplessly wanted to give a strike seeing the subspace depth value displayed by the Superfast Battleship.
Though this speed was faster than his own flying speed, it was far from the initial daunting speed. If he had that initial speed, he would arrive at Earth in less than a few seconds.
"Sacrificing the avatar, I don’t regret it, especially since in this battle, the enemy has attacked all the way to Earth’s edge. Sacrificing it can reverse the tide, which isn’t bad at all."
"The only problem is the Earth Fleet, who next have to face a new enemy fleet. With their capabilities and without my Overwhelming Tactics, it practically means a death mission. Yet, I can’t do anything."
Jia Yan dragged his battle armor, almost exploding with anger inside the Superfast Battleship.
While managing the avatar, he had been holding onto his temper throughout the battle.
The enemy’s power was obviously far inferior, yet they looked down on him after injuring his avatar, even wanting Jia Yan to utter flattering words, which was nearly humiliating for him.
"Even if it’s just a little bit, a few dozen minutes would do, speed it up!"
Jia Yan calculated time and again, and realized that the Earth Fleet was impossible to intercept during the previous two-hour gap to resist the enemy fleet, so he suddenly activated his brainwave power!
BOOM!!!
In this subspace, the entire space began to shake.
His brainwave power was released directly, and the two massive black spheres that followed in the back were immediately abandoned.
Without these two burdens, the Superfast Battleship increased its speed slightly, shaving about thirty minutes off the time.
"Looks like I guessed right. Dragging black holes at deep levels of subspace doesn’t affect speed, but when the speed drops in surface subspace, the impact is significant. I dropped them at just the right time."
A half-hour advance time, Jia Yan was quite satisfied, yet it didn’t make him give up further acceleration.
After all, with a half-hour gained, the Earth Fleet still had to delay the opponent’s fleet by an hour and a half. By his assessment of the Earth Fleet’s capabilities, it was impossible to achieve.
"Space Talent, activate!"
There was a faint gleam that appeared in Jia Yan’s eyes, and then his brainwave power moved again.
Accompanying his brainwave power, it surprisingly transformed into Space Talent, then this Space Talent enveloped the entire Superfast Battleship, making the whole ship enter the deep layers of subspace.
Pushed by brainwave power, Jia Yan suddenly felt that his brainwave power indeed increased the speed of the Superfast Battleship!
"Accelerated another hour! But I’ve done all I can, Earth Fleet, it’s up to you now, it’s your fate..."
Speeding up until they reached the point where they theoretically would arrive at Earth, just half an hour different, Jia Yan was already certain that even if the Earth Fleet couldn’t hold the enemy for a second, he could reach Earth before it was completely destroyed, even though at that time much life on Earth might have been obliterated, but at least some Earth people could be saved. More importantly, the people from Jia’s family would surely be able to hide in safe fortifications until he arrived, so Jia Yan was slightly more at ease.
Next, it’s up to the Earth Fleet to see how they perform.
If they can delay even one more second, they might prevent one less artillery round from hitting Earth, which could mean tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives.
"Now I can only cheer you on, go for it, young men."
Jia Yan thought about the group of young men who had worked hard to cultivate alongside his Avatar and sighed slightly.
No matter what, most of these young men, who have suffered few casualties until now, might never be seen again after this battle.
Time slowly passed, a fleet flew through the universe starry sky, and received a communication.
"What? The Renqi Fleet attacking Earth has completely lost contact? Quick, switch to the special reception frequency, and see what message the other side’s black box reveals."
The Fleet Commander, upon receiving this message, was nearly shocked, and hurriedly instructed the intelligence ship within the fleet to gather the intelligence.
Not long after, a new report was brought tremblingly by a biological soldier to the commander.
This was information released by the Smart Brain of the fleet that previously attacked Earth in its final stages.
It was detailed and had no omissions or subjective recording of the situation at the time.
"That...that Jia Yan was so terrifying, at the brink of despair, he used special means to perish along with the Renqi Fleet?"
Looking at this message, the leading Semi-permanent Star Creature could hardly believe it.
But not long after, he quietly put down the communicator.
"Since we began our assault on the Orion Arm, our forces have never suffered such losses. Send my order, speed up towards Earth, now that this civilization no longer has a guardian, it is just an ordinary elementary civilization, take advantage of their not having retreated substantially, directly eliminate this Earth civilization in the universe, to give a warning effect to any daring resistance in Orion Arm civilization!"
This fleet finally sped up, according to their speed, they would even arrive an hour earlier at Earth.
This greatly exceeded Jia Yan’s calculations, but he hadn’t arrived yet, and had no other choice.
Who would have thought those enemy battleships, destroyed in an instant explosion, still had the ability to transmit, causing the newly arrived fleet to increase its speed.
But just as this new fleet was flying towards Earth at a super fast speed, after traveling for two hours, they could already faintly see Earth’s blue planet. Seeing that in just two more hours, they would reach Earth...
A fleet that didn’t appear so well-organized rushed towards them in their field of vision!
That speed was like a roaring beast that had gone mad at that moment.
"Hmm, the Earth Fleet, huh, even without Jia Yan, they still dare to come and block me?!"
