Chapter 812: Chapter 483: Seeing Isn’t Always Believing_2
At this moment, the vast fleet was not in good condition, with almost every ship suffering damage to some extent – an inevitable result of forcefully entering and exiting supercurved motion.
But no one complained, and there was no sign of panic.
Now, this huge carrier fleet was rapidly approaching the midpoint between Morrowind No.2 and the Prism Ships in the rear.
The fleet formation was neat.
Before even getting close, the vast fleet had already begun to unleash a barrage of intense fire.
These seemingly mismatched carriers, varying in size, were now unleashing an incredibly powerful onslaught.
Additionally, one by one, small fighter ships swooped out from the relatively larger warships and quickly gathered into a billion-strong fighter swarm.
Their weapon systems were highly advanced, no less than the main fleet within the DF-711 Fortress Starship that was destroyed a few months ago.
This massive carrier fleet possessed strength wildly different from their outward appearance.
The small fighter ships that emerged were at least two generations ahead of the ships’ own designs, and so were their weapon systems.
The fleet’s commander, captains of each ship, and operators all demonstrated excellent military discipline.
Just one glance was enough for Harrison Clark to know that this fleet must be the Sage Institute’s backup plan.
Their mission was clear: to lie in hibernation until a crucial moment, and then appear and carry out a key mission.
If the Sage Institute could calculate when and where he would appear near the Shadow Galaxy, it was impossible they wouldn’t be prepared.
In the interior of the Shadow Galaxy, 30,000 Star Shadow Warriors, other than those within Torrent Assault Team, began cooperating with their fleet hiding in the asteroid belt to launch an inward-outward assault.
Various kinds of energy and solid ammunition weapons created a series of intense chain explosions in space, continuously assaulting the dwindling number of Prism Ships that formed the grid link.
Many more intelligent warships encircled the dozens of nearby, Star-shattering Cannons-equipped Prism Ships that could directly target Morrowind No.2.
No need to destroy these Prism Ships, they just needed to block the path of the Star-shattering Cannons directed towards Morrowind No.2.
This was the most widespread, largest-scale engagement of both forces, with the most participants and the most intense conventional firepower exchanges thus far in the battle.
Not only that, in the distant fourth sector, a fierce explosion of beam energy bombs suddenly erupted.
Billions of kilometers away in the first sector, Needham Brown, wearing the Star Shadow Battle Armor, and a small team of his confidantes were slowly approaching a crack in the midsection of a Prism Ship, “held hostage” by several hundred Blade Mantises.
As for the other ships of the Shadow Forces, they were frantically battling the Blade Mantises that had suddenly launched an attack on them.
Harrison Clark received the battlefield intelligence provided by the Sage Institute, Planning Institute, and the Command.
He immediately noticed the heading at the top of the intelligence document.
The campaign was named “Guidance Plan – End.”
Amidst the splendid explosions of countless stars, the bullet-shaped Morrowind No.2 only lost its first layer of exterior armor, leaving only a small part of the two-kilometer-long front section as it punched through the line of Prism Ships and entered behind the asteroid belt battle lines.
Morrowind No.2 was then picked up by a 200-kilometer-long, heavily-armed engineering ship that emerged from the inside and fully stored it within its cabin.
Guidance Plan – End had succeeded.
Martha Owen was inside the heavily armored engineering ship with a small yet skilled technical team, waiting in full battle array.
In the arsenal of the escort ships, several customized Star Shadow Battle Armors were prepared for Harrison Clark, featuring the best performance, firepower, mobility, and defense capabilities to date, as well as reserved space for installing a warp engine.
The performance of the current Star Shadow Battle Armor was even better compared to the custom-made armor Marthus wore a month ago.
Just waiting for Freddy now to do the final step, and the Star Shadow Battle Armor would have warp capabilities and be renamed the Folding Shadow Battle Armor.With Harrison Clark now safe, the battle situation on his side came to a brief pause.
However, in sector one, diagonally opposite, the intensity of the combat did not slow down but suddenly intensified instead.
It could be that the Compound-Eyed Observer suddenly realized that it had been fooled, or it may have only planned to capture General Brown and had no interest in the other “followers” within the Shadow Forces.
In any case, since they had already completed the transfer ahead of schedule and concentrated a large number of Prism Ships in one direction, the commander of the Compound Eye Fleet did not want to seem foolish. Instead, they decided to forcefully increase the firepower intensity, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to open up a real gap in the asteroid belt defense line.
The Compound-Eyed Observer did not hesitate to open fire on the remaining ships of the Shadow Forces while also reinforcing their firepower in all directions.
The Shadow Forces hastily retaliated.
Luckily, most of the people in the Shadow Forces had Star Shadow Battle Armor, making them individually powerful. Otherwise, these thousands of people would have been wiped out in a matter of seconds.
As for General Brown, upon seeing his trusted subordinates slaughtered, he did not show any reaction at all. He obediently followed the Blade Mantis into the Prism Ship, looking like a foolish captive.
Here, Freddy was never at rest for even a second.
He had just stepped down from the navigation chair when he was escorted by technicians to quickly exit Morrowind No.2’s damaged hatch, heading straight for the small workshop on the side of the Engineering Ships. There, the Folding Shadow Battle Armor was waiting.
Harrison Clark felt no disrespect as almost every person passed by him, pausing slightly and bowing courteously toward him.
Some said ‘Hello Lord Sage,’ others said ‘I’ve seen Lord Sage,’ and some were even so excited they couldn’t speak coherently.
Martha Owen was more composed than the others. She said: “Lord Sage, please wait a moment. In no more than fifteen minutes, you will have your Folding Shadow Battle Armor. I guarantee that this will be the strongest individual weapon you have ever used.”
Harrison Clark looked at the silver-haired and round-faced “young girl” and smiled.
After a hundred years, he finally saw a “familiar face” in the real world.
With a thousand emotions welling up in his heart, Harrison Clark impulsively reached out and pinched the face of this person.
“Ah!” Martha Owen nervously covered her face. “Lord Sage, you…”
Harrison Clark continued to smile.
A hundred-year-old lolita, yet still without any wrinkles, she took care of herself much better than Freddy.
This shows that the medical conditions in the Shadow Galaxy are much better than on the ship.
“Lord Sage, do you want to pair with me right now? Ahem, but I don’t have any stock here. I can’t use it myself either, and time is tight.”
Martha Owen tentatively asked.
Harrison Clark knocked on her forehead, “Don’t think about unnecessary things. Go and get to work quickly. My battle armor is important, but after you finish, have Freddy undergo a comprehensive medical examination as soon as possible. His condition isn’t that great. At least let him recover to the same level as you, Dean Owen.”
After Martha Owen left, another middle-aged man came to Harrison Clark’s side.
“Lord Sage, hello.”
“Hello.”
“I am the Chief Executor of Internal Affairs at the Sage Institute.”
“Oh, what can I do for you?”
“There’s a letter for you here.”
“A letter?”
“Yes, from General Brown. Our quantum network is not absolutely secure, so important information with a large volume is usually transmitted using more traditional methods. For example, letters, Morse code carried by radio signals, or codes that change every day. This letter was handwritten by General Brown six days ago and just arrived here.”
