Chapter 1684: Chapter 538: The Miraculous and Unspeakable Uses of the Mirror (6k)
Even though the fleet’s artillery locked onto the pursuit again a second later, as long as the commander of the Church Fleet doesn’t get too embarrassed or recklessly mobilize too many ships to join the chase.
After teleporting into the cluster of inferior Insect Swarm, the artillery could no longer affect her capture of the swarm.
After all, with the swarm as a barrier, whether they could aim accurately and do her harm aside, the greater the power of the artillery, the more damage it would inevitably do to the swarm.
Once inside the swarm on the battlefield, it seemed that they thought she couldn’t cause much damage and believed she was merely using the swarm to avoid artillery, they even stopped the symbolic barrage completely this time.
This allowed her to leisurely complete the capture of the swarm.
Instead, it took longer than the previous battle, and it was only ten minutes later that Bai Yi managed to collect the last Insect Clan into the storage space.
"This should be enough now..."
With a scan of her Perception over the storage space, all the alien races in the swarm that were locked by her superpower had already stored more than three inside.
After confirming, Bai Yi came to the edge of the swarm and scanned the battlefield outside the swarm with her superpower.
She quickly locked onto the high-tier transcendents she brought out.
During the ten minutes she spent capturing the swarm, the battlefield outside had obviously entered a heated phase, and the high-tier battlefield was at a stalemate.
"It seems the commander behind the Church this time has a great strategist...
But indeed, being so restrained, even stopping the attack after I hid in the swarm, this commander is definitely not to be underestimated.
Could it be the Favored of the Creator?"
Bai Yi thought of a candidate, adjusted her state, and once again prepared for battle.
This battlefield was dominated by the Gemini Civilization, and she didn’t have to aim for achievements to deepen her relationship with the fleet commanders, as she did in the previous Radiant Civilization battles.
But since it’s a battlefield led by the Gemini Civilization, as an ally who has always cooperated, it’s still important to show respect.
Her gaze sharpened, and she chose a high-tier transcendent battlefield as her first target, then used Teleportation to join the battle.
With her, an additional combat power that had not truly participated before, joining, the originally stable battlefield balance was instantly broken.
After helping the first high-tier transcendent defeat the high-level believer opponent, the freed high-tier transcendent immediately joined the support ranks.
Quickly expanding the advantage to all high-tier battlefields, either repelling or killing the high-level believers.
Then using these now freed high-tier transcendents as an advantage, they began to roll up the war advantage snowball.
Bai Yi deliberately did not use her Magic Power Crystal to replenish Magic Power; after she followed up by destroying a small half of the fleet, her ’Mana Bar’ was already more than half consumed, tipping the scales of war completely.
Looking over the entire battlefield, even the fleet that had originally pursued her no longer had the energy to bother with her; she smiled contentedly at her achievements.
If this still gets overturned, then the commanders of the Gemini Civilization wouldn’t remain such.
She took out a miniature communicator stored in her storage space, pinched her throat a bit, and put on a slightly tired voice.
"My magic power is almost depleted; the rest is up to you now."
Almost immediately, excited responses from other high-tier transcendents echoed through the fleet’s communication channel.
"Don’t worry, leave the rest to us!"
"Haha, now that the Church is in a dire state, they can’t threaten us without Teleportation, Fan Mao, you can safely retreat!"
"..."
The joy in the hearts of the high-tier transcendents on the channel was already overflowing.
In such a war with absolute advantage, the retreating side will inevitably leave a batch of sacrificial pawns to cover the retreat.
These covering enemies pose no threat, and are essentially walking contributions.
It is indeed a good opportunity to ’hit them while they’re down’ and gain additional contributions!
As long as they join the chase, they can easily gain extra contributions and take some spoils along the way.
Unlike Bai Yi, they can’t disregard these minor contributions.
Fan Mao’s willingness to put in effort at a critical moment of the war and retreat during the final division was simply generous!
Feeling she had gained a substantial amount of goodwill from these high-tiers, Bai Yi calmly put away her communicator.
The number of fleets covering the retreat was limited; with her strength, if she continued to fight, she could undoubtedly take down the most within those Church Fleets.
But with her current perspective, she no longer cared for these minor contributions, preferring to let them go and gain more goodwill from these high-tiers.
Bai Yi felt this business was not a loss.
With a smile on her face as if her plan had succeeded, Bai Yi communicated with her Soul Armor, locked onto the flagship’s position, and began teleporting.
As soon as she returned to the flagship, someone immediately came up to her.
"Lord Fanmao, were you alright just now? We saw you being besieged by a group of high-level believers and under fleet attack..."
The commander asked worriedly.
But obviously, since she was standing here, the question didn’t really need an answer.
Bai Yi recognized the underlying meaning, paused, and then politely waved her hand and said with a smile:
"It’s okay; these past few days, I’ve already gotten used to being chased by fleet artillery. This time, the number of warships was relatively small; those fleets posed no real threat to me.
Moreover, among those besieging high-tiers, not all were high-level believers; some were special divine arts creations like puppets, without true high-tier extraordinary strength."
