Wandering Meteor-Chapter 29: Diamond Star Battle

"Report, metallic flying apparatus and traces of Demon Star discovered within the Diamond Star System!"

The star-stationed fleet at Diamond Star set sail, while reporting this news to the Mother Star and Reinforcement Fleet.

Soon, the Reinforcement Fleet, which was establishing a base on Tree Demon Star, replied to the message, "How far are the two parties from each other? Has the battle started?"

"According to observations, the Demon Star and the metallic flying apparatus are about 0.5 astronomical units from Diamond Star. Although no battle has started yet, they are speeding towards Diamond Star and a frontal collision is expected soon!"

"We will depart immediately and will arrive in about three months. Your star-stationed fleet has two tasks: one is to confirm whether that Demon Star is a Celestial Civilization, and whether it possesses Consciousness Particles; the other is to hold off the Demon Star and the metallic flying apparatus as much as possible, and after our Reinforcement Fleet arrives, we will encircle and capture them from both fronts!"

"Yes!"

Captain of the star-stationed fleet ended the communication but a cold smirk slowly appeared on his face.

What a joke, how could he let such a great achievement slip to others?

It's just a metallic flying apparatus and a planet, after all, their star-stationed fleet has two cosmic battleships of the same model, considerably powerful, fully capable of capturing them alive.

Unexpectedly, the Captain of the star-stationed fleet was a person who says one thing and does another.

He had just agreed with the Reinforcement Fleet, but turned around and issued another order, commanding the fleet to prepare for a full battle!

However, the star-stationed fleet has rich combat experience. Knowing that the enemy poses a certain danger, the Captain did not act recklessly. First, he sent drones to scout for information, then ordered the various models of fighters in the fleet to line up in the usual training formation.

Eventually, a combat formation was formed with drones leading, various models of fighters as the main attack force, and the two cosmic battleships at the rear.

.......

"Big brother, it looks like they have already spotted us. They moved faster than us!"

Wandering had just proposed to seize diamond and rare metals, only to find the enemy already in battle formation, making them seem like the prey.

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "It seems we've been underestimated. Let's make them regret deeply!"

Immediately, both Lu Chen and Wandering surged forward with murderous intent, accelerating to the Cosmic Fourth Speed, while the star-stationed fleet also quickly approached. Both sides seemed eager to meet each other.

About half a day later, the fiercely momentum-filled parties finally clashed.

Wandering took the lead, heading straight for the few drones at the forefront.

However, since the star-stationed fleet was on alert, upon seeing Wandering's offensive, they immediately controlled the drones to scatter.

"Hehe, think it's that easy to dodge?"

With a snide laugh from Wandering, they astonishingly didn't give chase but stayed in place using its own magnetic force to pull a few drones. Since the drones were made of metal, they could not avoid the effects of magnetic force.

Wandering analyzed correctly, its magnetic force indeed had an effect.

However, its magnetic force was still weak, and given the drones' high speed, they easily escaped the influence of the magnetic force.

Seeing this, Wandering immediately released its own gravity to intertwine with the magnetic force, suddenly increasing the suction power and finally managed to attach the two closest drones onto it.

These two drones, as if stuck on a giant magnet, could not move at all and were eventually slowly disintegrated and absorbed.

"The escapees have fallen into my hands. You may have escaped the suction of the Wandering, but you cannot escape my gravity." Lu Chen surveyed the whole situation from behind.

When he noticed four drones had escaped the suction of the Wandering, he immediately locked them with his own gravity control.

With his current Planet Gravity, the Gravity Increment easily stacked up to 2000, a speed the drones could not possibly achieve, causing them to crash heavily onto the planet's surface.

"It seems that planet indeed possesses Consciousness Particles!"

The initial battle was a total defeat, but the stationed fleet wasn't disheartened; instead, they were somewhat excited.

Because through the probing of the drones, they had obtained certain intelligence - the Demon Star had likely used a Gravity Increment.

Even though their First-level Civilization technology couldn't detect Gravity Waves, due to some special reasons, they were certain that was the case.

Moreover, they detected a very strong magnetic field reaction on the Wandering, leading them to deduce that the Wandering must have absorbed Magnetic Mountain from Tree Demon Star, thus possessing Magnetic Force!

After obtaining this intelligence, the stationed fleet immediately adjusted their offensive strategy.

They sent out four gigantic fighters, each no smaller than the Wandering, to confront the Wandering, while dispatching a few hundred smaller fighters to deal with Demon Star Lu Chen.

At first, Lu Chen didn't quite understand the thinking of the Yin Yang Star People.

Being stronger and larger himself, why did they send a bunch of "flies" to deal with him?

When he saw those hundreds of fighters circle around without attacking, repeatedly flying at the limit of his gravity range, seemingly trying to test the extent of his gravity, Lu Chen instantly understood!

It turned out the Yin Yang Star People intended to defeat him one by one, using the tactic of Tian Ji's horse racing: first tie him up with weaker "horses," deal with the Wandering using stronger "horses," and then concentrate their forces to deal with him once the Wandering was handled.

It must be said, these Yin Yang Star People were quite intelligent.

Moreover, the tactics they used didn't seem new, but rather seemed well-rehearsed.

There must have been explanations on the tactical board, otherwise, so many fighters would not have been able to maintain such high uniformity.

As for why these Yin Yang Star People would have rehearsed tactics specifically targeting Celestial Civilizations, Lu Chen had no way of knowing at the moment.

The current situation didn't allow him to ponder these things; he needed to concentrate on dealing with the annoying fighters surrounding him like flies.

"Since you are madly probing at the edge of death, I'll fulfill your wish!"

Once Lu Chen knew that the opponent had tactics specifically for Celestial Civilizations, a surge of killing intent rose in his heart.

He actively controlled his massive planetary body to fly forward.

Since those annoying fighters refused to come closer, he would take the initiative to strike.

However, he didn't strike immediately, but waited until a few hundred fighters were all within his gravity range. Then, he suddenly used the Gravity Increment to close the net. In an instant, hundreds of fighters, like meteors, uncontrollably plummeted toward the planet's surface.

Boom...

Hundreds of fighters crashed one after another onto the planet's surface, igniting like firecrackers, and exploding in succession.

Seeing the hundreds of fighters annihilated overnight, the stationed fleet then realized they had been tricked.

They initially wanted to test out the exact range of Demon Star's gravity, but didn't expect the Demon Star to lure them into a trap, waiting until his gravity fully enveloped all the fighters before closing the net, catching them off guard and resulting in heavy losses!
