Chapter 1076: Black Starship
The two sides' interstellar warships constantly attacked and even collided with each other.
Zhao Chen watched as these interstellar warships were destroyed one by one, as if he were watching a game.
One thing Zhao Chen noticed was that after those pitch-black interstellar warships were destroyed, they would quickly dissipate, just like burning into ashes, disappearing with the wind.
On the other hand, the wreckage of interstellar warships was increasing, even piling up like mountains.
“We call these enemy fleets the ‘Undead Legion,’ but some jokingly refer to them as the ‘Dark Legion,’” Ah Yin said.
"The Undying Legion?" Zhao Chen frowned.
"As the name suggests, these are the destroyed interstellar warships."
They will respawn infinitely and reappear on the battlefield.
"It's like a wave, sweeping over the dam every now and then until it collapses," Ah Yin explained.
Zhao Chen frowned; he still couldn't understand it: "An interstellar warship with infinite resurrection? How is that possible..."
“I know it’s impossible. A long time ago, the Gaia Empire’s fleet didn’t realize that it was actually fighting the same fleet as itself.”
Until they discovered the problem by chance.
These interstellar warships are immortal and will endlessly resurrect to attack the enemy again.
"As for the exact principle behind it, our master may know, but we don't," Ah Yin said.
Zhao Chen remained silent; this whole affair was too fantastical.
But considering the resurrection technology we possess, if life can be resurrected, can interstellar warships also be resurrected?
Although it's hard to believe, the possibility cannot be directly denied.
You should have heard about it.
In the later years of the Gaia Empire, a massive Gaia Expeditionary Legion fleet was established.
They set out to confront the source threatening the universe.
"And he never came back." Ah Yin waved her hand.
Time seemed to speed up, and the battlefield suddenly became silent.
But soon, new interstellar warships appeared here.
Zhao Chen recognized these interstellar warships; they belonged to the Machine Race.
They began to build fortresses and bases here.
"In this space, there are no resources, not even light."
All resources need to be transported from our universe.
We have inherited the will of the Gaia Empire, and we stand guard over this universe, awaiting the return of the Gaia Empire's explorers.
This wait... lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Until thousands of years ago.
Those pitch-black interstellar warships reappeared. Ah Yin's gaze deepened.
In the scene before Zhao Chen's eyes, those dark interstellar warships reappeared.
Their arrival foreshadows war.
The machine race's interstellar warships began engaging in numerous battles with these dark interstellar warships.
Round after round of confrontation.
The number of Mech Race interstellar warships falling is increasing, and the number of Dark Starship fleets arriving each time is also growing.
At first, the machine race fleet could cope, but later it gradually became difficult to maintain.
Even during the war, there were instances of bases and fortresses being destroyed.
And from some unknown time, in this space, structures resembling the Great Wall began to appear.
Those were all made up of battle-damaged Mech Starships, forming lines of defense.
The still-usable starship cannons continue to be used along these sections of the Great Wall, serving their remaining purpose.
"Initially, the Dark Legion fleet appeared once every hundred years, but later it gradually became once every fifty years."
Thirty years, twenty years, ten years, five years, three years.
With each attack occurring at increasingly shorter intervals, we didn't have enough time to repair our already damaged bases and fortresses.
So we started building these defensive lines made from abandoned interstellar warships, which were very inexpensive and quick to build.
We call them the 'Black Wall'. Ah Yin's eyes shone with intense excitement as she gazed at these sections of the Black Wall.
Zhao Chen also felt a deep sense of respect.
Although these mechanical interstellar warships appeared cold and impersonal, at this moment...
Gazing at these black walls, Zhao Chen felt a burning heat.
"Six months ago, the Dark Legion fleet reappeared."
The master once again rushed to the battlefield, but this time the enemy was far stronger than ever before.
I've heard that the mechanical fleet on the other side of the gate suffered a loss rate exceeding 70%, with tens of millions of interstellar warships lost.
Ah Yin clenched her fists: "If it weren't for this exact moment..."
How could those demon starships possibly threaten our Mechanical Kingdom!
After a six-month-long battle.
The ship itself was severely damaged, but fortunately, the enemy was defeated.
Hearing this story, Zhao Chen felt a deep respect for these mechanical beings.
"What exactly were the attackers' motives?"
"Do you want to enslave us? Or seize our resources?" Zhao Chen asked.
Since we know there is an enemy, the enemy must have something in mind when they invade.
"We don't know that, but the owner might know."
All we know is that we must hold this door.
"We absolutely cannot let those dark legion fleets enter this universe, or everything in this universe will be destroyed!" Ah Yin said in a deep voice.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly. It seemed there were still some secrets he needed to wait for the girl to tell him in person.
"How long do I need to wait?"
"Only then can you speak with your master," Zhao Chen asked.
Ah Yin paused for a moment and said, "Based on Master's condition this time, the hibernation period will be at least three months."
Three months?
This takes a bit long.
Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You said before that your master left me a message?"
“Yes. Do you want to check it now?” Ah Yin asked.
"Mm." Zhao Chen nodded.
Ah Yin raised her hand, and a holographic projection device appeared in her palm.
The little girl's figure reappeared.
She was very small, sitting in Ah Yin's palm, swinging her legs like the person in the other's.
Hey, long time no see.
I wonder how the demon race is doing.
My energy is insufficient to sustain me until I return to our universe, so I must enter a period of hibernation.
But I think you won't let me down.
"What little devil? You should be able to handle him yourself," the little girl said with a grin.
Zhao Chen glanced at Ah Yin and couldn't help but chuckle.
He's a little devil, isn't he?
You didn't even know they almost robbed your house.
“Ah Yin should have already told you everything she knows.”
As for things she doesn't know, I'll have to tell you after I wake up.
There's another thing I'd like to ask you.
