Chapter 1598: Chapter 516: The War That Finally Arrived (6k)_3
"That wasn’t part of the plan initially. Killing them is an unexpected joy, and it’s no loss if they can’t be detained.
At least this time, our core objective has been achieved.
Moreover, even though they didn’t fall this time, their depletion isn’t small. At least for the next two hours, they probably won’t have much impact."
Bai Yi waved nonchalantly, smiling.
He grabbed the middle of the staff, pointing the tip forward, releasing a Life Aura around them which slightly improved the complexion of the high-tier participants in the battle, before continuing:
"Let’s go back; we’ve also suffered considerable losses this time.
The upcoming battles will be long, and we need to focus on recovering."
Having said that, Bai Yi communicated with the Soul Armor, but this time did not teleport back directly.
The recent war was a massive drain for Bai Yi; she could only quickly recover her magic power, not possess unlimited magic power.
In an environment filled with numerous High-level Strong Persons, the magic power was extremely scarce. Even with stocked Magic Power Crystals, there was a limit without resupply.
After a short-distance leap back to the core of the Constant Star System’s fleet, Bai Yi first returned to her warship to properly replenish a round of Magic Power Crystals before going back to Jue Nalu’s "Red Flying Disc".
"Fan Mao, thank you for your hard work."
As the Tree-man led Bai Yi into the main control chamber’s platform, Jue Nalu greeted her with a smile.
"Thanks to you, Fan Mao, holding them off for a whole hour, the fleet’s needed defense time was greatly reduced, giving us some assurance.
Once the main fleet arrives, I will definitely nominate you for the position of Admiral to His Majesty the Emperor."
Jue Nalu saluted earnestly, although he could frankly admit that he looked down on Fan Mao’s military literacy, which lacked lots of common sense and was even more immature than a freshman from the military academy.
Yet Fan Mao’s powerful execution capability made up for this aspect well.
The simple plan earlier unexpectedly allowed Fan Mao to have an effect far exceeding expectations.
This powerful high-tier extraordinary must be tied to the Gemini Civilization.
Moreover, in this war, Fan Mao’s contribution was so significant that it was difficult to give any special reward.
Thus, after thinking over and over, Jue Nalu had this heartfelt idea, attempting to use his thoughts to solve the problem.
But he didn’t expect to mention exactly what Bai Yi desired most.
However much the proposal appealed to her, Bai Yi still managed to control her expression immediately, as if such a proposal was not an essential matter.
"But unfortunately, this time was a special case, with harsh conditions that cannot be replicated. Once they realized it, such methods might not be usable again.
The situation remains dire with nearly half the time still left."
"Indeed, after this, there probably won’t be many methods left to delay the fleet’s onslaught."
The smile vanished from Jue Nalu’s face, becoming serious again.
"Forget it, this war will inevitably come, but it’s always good to delay it as long as possible.
Where is the next coordinate?"
Bai Yi shrugged off the topic, receiving only a wry smile from Jue Nalu.
"But here’s the problem: we aren’t familiar with distances further away, and the range is broader, merely a desolate space.
It’s like trying to guess the answer from numbers without questions, impossible to calculate, leaving everything to fate and see what luck brings."
"Fate?
Exactly, we can only rely on fate..."
Why not directly consult the all-knowing fate?
The mirror she had today had yet to be used!
"Later, I’ll take someone to give it a try; maybe fate will favor us?"
Leaving these words, Bai Yi waved and controlled the Tree-man to turn and leave.
Based on their earlier experiences, they had confirmed the cooldown time for those believers’ teleportation gates. Returning to the ship and back here, the time would just about be right.
With the coordinates obtained from the mirror’s divination, Bai Yi easily found the corresponding coordinates outside the Constant Star System and quickly received both a piece of good news and bad news.
The good news was that, as expected, the result of the mirror was very precise in such a small-range divination. When she arrived, the believers’ teleportation gate almost opened right in front of her.
And the bad news was, as anticipated, seeing Bai Yi appear behind the gate, those believers decisively abandoned their action.
The teleportation gate hadn’t fully opened before it closed up again, not wasting a split second.
Even so, because the mirror only used a short-range divination, it precisely found the teleportation gate’s coordinates twice before exhausting its divination chances, further delaying the war by half an hour.
But without the divination ability, Bai Yi had no further methods.
Fortunately, after such attempts, the coordinates chosen by those believers were already quite a distance from this Constant Star System.
Ten minutes after calculating the next teleportation gate’s opening, the fleet detected the arrival of the Church Fleet at the margin of this Constant Star System, using their conventional engines to approach.
But the number displayed on the radar, even with preparation, stunned everyone on the main control platform.
Although it’s only the vanguard, the number is nearly double that of their isolated United Fleet.
And the Church’s warships were still receiving almost endless reinforcements.
"This number..."
