Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 619 - 605: The Grand Melee of 170,000 Warships (Part 5)

From the start of the battle, Su Shuang and Suo Kexiao's council coalition fleet mostly stood at the back of the large formation, which, to put it nicely, was called supporting, but more bluntly, was just making up the numbers. Su Shuang intended to drain the Star Alliance Fleet, so there was no rush to engage the council coalition in direct combat; instead, the plan was to take advantage of opportunities.

Despite the Seven Phoenix Civilization and the Borke Civilization being among the top ten powers, with fleet strengths superior to the Star Alliance, they were not the ones tasked with breaching operations.

According to Su Shuang's plan, when the Swarm and the Star Alliance had worn each other out to a significant extent, the council coalition would then move in to pick off the remaining easy targets. By that time, the Swarm would have been significantly reduced in size and heavily damaged, and the Star Alliance's side would also have suffered severe losses, allowing the council coalition to endure the minimal damage and reap the maximum benefits.

Xiao Yu was not yet in a position to criticize Su Shuang because without the support of nearly 20,000 warships from the council coalition, the Star Alliance Fleet might indeed face defeat against the Swarm Ships. Thus, no matter how disadvantaged Xiao Yu felt now, he had to swallow his pride.

Su Shuang's thought process was not beyond Bai Zhongqi's understanding; Su Shuang believed he held the key to victory, and Bai Zhongqi knew precisely what needed to be done to achieve it.

Thus, when his encompassing awareness of the entire battlefield captured the Star Alliance Fleet starting a large-scale push against the Swarm Ships, Bai Zhongqi keenly sensed his opportunity had arrived.

Xu Lanzhou, aboard the Blade Empress, suddenly swung his arm and shouted, "Attack!"

The Chancellor Bai Zhongqi, who had an excellent rapport with his Commander, albeit currently lying in a medical pod like a broken man, undergoing body reconstruction in the repair fluid, still synced his actions intuitively.

Several colossal wormholes appeared in front of the vast fleet led by the Blade Empress, and Xu Lanzhou, without hesitation, led four Military Lords and as many as 30,000 Swarm Ships, which had not yet entered the battlefield, straight through the wormholes.

The other end of the wormhole—was precisely located in the gap that had formed between the Star Alliance and council coalition fleets due to Xiao Yu's aggressive push.

"Star Creation Department warships, block the battlefield!" Xu Lanzhou immediately issued the order.

The mere two hundred or so Star Creation Department warships were not meant for head-on confrontations on the battlefield. These ships quickly dispersed, drawing approximately a two-hundred-thousand-kilometer boundary line. As the "Rejection System" on the Star Creation Department ships activated, a translucent barrier pulsing with white light spanned across, positioned between the Star Alliance Fleet at the forefront of the assault on the Swarm and the council coalition fleet.

This sudden turn of events shocked Xiao Yu, Su Shuang, and others. However, Suo Kexiao was more relaxed, laughing to Su Shuang, "Hey, we've been underestimated, huh? Playing such a tactic, cutting us off midway and targeting our High Council's fleet first. Is this planet-swallowing a bit too overconfident?"

Su Shuang coldly responded, "Since they underestimate us, they naturally should pay the price for underestimating us."

He then said to Xiao Yu, "Chancellor Xiao Yu, please order the Star Alliance's forefront fleet, two-thirds to fiercely attack the already numerically inferior Swarm Ships, and one-third to fiercely attack and try to bypass the barrier blocking the battlefield."

He looked ahead once more, his face filled with calm, as he issued the order with composure, "Deploy the High Council Combined Forces in an attack formation and swoop in to defeat them."

When Bai Zhongqi's senses told him that the High Council's fleet truly displayed a posture akin to a tiger descending the mountain, nearly nine thousand of the Council's warships, about half of which were tier 30 or higher from the ten largest powers. Had the Jinxi Civilization not encountered a situational hiccup, General Achino would not have been able to redirect forces here, and Bai Zhongqi might have faced more than six thousand warships of tier 30 or higher, making the situation even more thorny.

The fleet of the High Council, with the Seven Phoenixes and Borke civilizations' fleets at the core, executed large, sweeping motions in their forward attack. The gap in weapons technology between the two sides had become quite clear, which allowed them to swiftly break through the shields of numerous Swarm warships and even sink them outright.

Yet, Bai Zhongqi had slightly underestimated the strength of the ten largest powers' fleet, so he immediately made corresponding adjustments by pulling back the fleets of the Star Creation Department and other two military lords, letting the Swarm's warships take the forefront.

As Xiao Yu witnessed this scene, a flush of red ignited on his face, and he laughed proudly, "Hahaha, Bai Zhongqi, you're seeking your own doom. Your fleet wasn't at an advantage yet you still played the strategic master, using the battlefield isolation tactics that split the field into two. The result? Your front battlefield was short on forces, suffering a fierce onslaught from my Star Alliance Fleet, while the rear couldn't match the strength of the Seven Phoenixes and Borke civilizations' fleets, getting schooled like a novice."

This could be said to be one of the rare moments of delight for Xiao Yu during the entire battle. Watching Bai Zhongqi's Swarm fleet getting beaten on both sides and performing quite miserably, Xiao Yu felt greatly relieved and started to overflow with hope and elation.

Victory seemed to be right before his eyes.

"Kill Bai Zhongqi, kill him! The Star Alliance is mine, I am the sole and supreme Chancellor in the Galaxy, the destined ruler who will ultimately unify the Galaxy," he declared.

Xiao Yu's behavior led Su Shuang and Suo Kexiao to shake their heads in disapproval. Xiao Yu was not without skills, but his character thrived in dark corners, capitalizing on them profusely. However, once brought into the light, his dark nature and tactics prevented him from truly harnessing the power of the formidable civilization of the Star Alliance.

The Swarm warships, like bugs scorched by intense fire, suffered heavy losses, which also exceeded Xu Lanzhou's expectations. Yet, this commander, who had struggled for a long time just to return under Bai Zhongqi's command to fight for the Chancellor and for the one she loved, clenched her teeth and continued to execute Bai Zhongqi's combat philosophy.

"Charge, advance straight into the center of the enemy's fleet formation!"

Undoubtedly surprised, Zero asked, "Have you gone mad? Although we outnumber the enemy three to one, at this rate of exchange, even if we do break into the center of the High Council's fleet formation, our battle losses would certainly exceed seventy percent, and we might even be completely wiped out, while the enemy will still have more than four thousand ships remaining, unable to change the course of battle!"

Xu Lanzhou had not yet answered when Bai Zhongqi consoled Zero, "It's okay, once we truly break through to there, we win."

Zero nodded, being the one who trusted Bai Zhongqi the most, even if he were wrong, Bai Zhongqi could always use a wormhole to escape. Losing a battle didn't matter, as they could always rise again.

Yet what Zero didn't know was that at this moment, Bai Zhongqi actually already held the winning cards.
