Global Era of Star Trekking

“Song Xingru: That…”

Song Xingru wanted to ask something else, but at that moment, almost simultaneously, both Song Dingbang and another Ultimate Battleship Captain from the Chenxing Clan had already begun speaking rapidly in the group chat.

“Be alert, a large number of High Rank Robber Star Race are heading our way, including at least four Sixth Rank, forty Fifth Rank, and close to 600 Fourth Rank Robber Star Race.”

Upon hearing this, a shock ran through the executives of both families in the group chat.

Such a scale of High Rank Robber Star Race, once they break into the fleet and start a massacre, would result in incalculable losses for the ordinary members of both families.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem for these executives to escape; a single jump would allow them to easily get away. But the ordinary members of their families couldn’t do the same, and to neglect them and suffer heavy casualties would put both families at risk of a break in their lineage in the future.

With this in mind, the executives of both families responded in perfect unison. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Song Dingbang: So, let’s each handle two of the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race. As for the Fifth Rank and Fourth Rank Robber Star Race, let us have our subordinates coordinate their efforts to block them, shall we?”

“Agreed!”

…

Song Family senior executives’ communication channel:

“Song Dingbang: Order them immediately to organize the family fleet to retreat in batches. Remember, we mustn’t panic!”

“Additionally, Tian Hao, Xingru, and I will handle the two Sixth Rank Robber Star Race. Little Pool, you do your best to hold off those Fifth Rank Robber Star Race.”

“Song Chi: Grandson can hold off one Sixth Rank on his own…”

Song Chi hadn’t finished speaking when Song Dingbang interrupted him.

“Little Pool, follow orders. With the presence of three Sixth Rank Enslaved Species and our three battleships combined, we can stop the two Sixth Rank Robber Star Race. But it’s different for you; you have a Sixth Rank Abyss Demon at your command. You need to direct it and the Enslavement Army to block as many of the Fifth Rank Robber Star Race as possible. With more than 40 of the Fifth Rank Robber Star Race, aside from you, there aren’t many in the family capable of dealing with the frenzied Fifth Rank. Your mission is of great importance!”

“Song Chi: Grandson understands!”

Under Song Dingbang’s orders, the family’s million-strong battle fleet began to retreat in an organized fashion. However, besides the Zhulu Warships and battleships, there remained thousands of Hellfire Mechs on the battlefield, not all belonging to the Song Family; the Chenxing Clan also had quite a few.

Not just Song Chi had originally obtained the complete Hellfire Mech manufacturing blueprints; Ansewei had also handed the blueprints over to the family, and with the Chenxing Clan’s foundation, they naturally developed the Hellfire Mech.

Although the Hellfire Mechs from both families looked somewhat different, their performance was more or less the same. According to information shared between the two families, the Song Family brought with them over 14,000 Hellfire Mechs into the Robber Star Floating Land, the Chenxing Clan had slightly fewer, just over 8,000.

But the Hellfire Mechs that were currently there amounted to only about 5,000, plus the 1,000 each left for the retreating fleets, in total around 7,000 mechs—not even a third of what was brought initially.

The reason, of course, was the consumption due to nearly a year of war.

Take the Song Family, for example, in the past year since entering the Robber Star Floating Land, the extraordinary military achievements they made involved the sinking of only two Zhulu Warships. The underlying reason? The considerable assistance of a plethora of Hellfire Mechs.

However, despite the fierce firepower of these Hellfire Mechs, close combat was their weakness. Once engaged by a Robber Star Race of the same rank, even several Mechs acting together could not overpower a single Fourth Rank Robber Star Race. Under this premise, the massive losses of the Hellfire Mechs occurred.

Fortunately, while clearing out the major Robber Star Race cities, the ordinary starship groups following both families also managed to scavenge all sorts of readily available resources; overall, the benefits definitely exceeded the losses.

Looking at the 5,000 Hellfire Mechs ready for combat behind them, the less than 300 Zhulu Warship Captains from both families felt slightly reassured.

The advancing horde of Robber Star Race seemed to possess a Strange Object related to space. Under the group teleportation of this spatial Strange Object, they quickly reached the defensive line set up by the senior executives of both families.

No communication.

The two sides were long-standing foes, one being the invaders who slaughtered all along their path, the other the guardians willing to burn their lives to protect their homeland. The battle erupted quickly.

Several battleships and four Sixth Rank Robber Star Race soared into the sky at once, clearing out a battlefield tens of thousands of miles high.

As for the more than 40 Fifth Rank and nearly 600 Fourth Rank Robber Star Race, they soon mixed in a chaotic conflict with over two hundred Zhulu Warships and hundreds of Enslaved Species, while the 5,000 Hellfire Mechs in the rear seized the opportunity and occasionally provided a round of firepower support.

Clang!

Following a sharp metallic collision, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was blasted tens of thousands of meters back by the terrifying force of a Fifth Rank Robber Star Race.

The Robber Star Race were naturally strong in physique, their bodies tempered by the light of the Death Robber Star for years. Although they might not be as formidable as the Eight-Armed Snake Demon or Starry Sky Behemoth, their difference in strength was not huge. Especially now when they were in a frenzied state and burning their lives, the power they could unleash in every strike was even more fearsome.

Even with the strength of level 69 Neutron Star Core Armor, it was still barely holding up.

Besides the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong that was facing off directly against this particular Fifth Rank Robber Star Race, the One-Eyed Giant Fiend, and the Flame Giant had each stopped five more. As for the Abyss Demon and its Enslavement Army, they were halting 10 Fifth Rank and dozens of Fourth Rank Robber Star Race.

That meant Song Chi alone was stopping more than half of the Fifth Rank and a tenth of the Fourth Rank Robber Star Race.

Yet even so, the overall situation on the battlefield still appeared to be at a disadvantage.
