Chapter 423 - 423 423 Crazy All Crazy

?Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Crazy, All Crazy Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Crazy, All Crazy I felt like Monsk and those Protos Natives’ brains had gotten squashed in a door—they had nothing better to do than to launch a combined attack on us?!

Human battlecruiser fleets and those mysterious Protos fleets, as if they had conspired together, suddenly emerged en masse from the edges of the Empire-controlled territories. The former assembled a large force to ambush our patrol units, while the latter used their high-tech warships capable of holding up under Imperial Army attacks to carry out relatively large-scale assaults. And judging by their fleet formation—it was clear that they had organized these numbers after becoming well aware of the Imperial Army’s formidable combat power.

The current situation was that we, coming from afar, had to deal with hundreds of billions of enemies with interstellar war capabilities… and their tactics were still so disgustingly annoying.

As the first to launch the assault, the Independent Federation fleet uncharacteristically chose guerrilla warfare, which did not align with their usual style. Massive battlecruiser fleets merely chose to attack isolated Imperial patrol units. They braved the minimal damage from small Xyrin units, swarming in hundreds to unleash a volley from the Great Harmony Cannons, then turned tail and ran without regard for the outcome they achieved, leaving behind thousands of expendable escort ships to blind our sight. This tactic proved exceedingly effective when cost was no object. Despite the Xyrin Army’s overwhelming combat power, where even a high-level Apostle could single-handedly wipe out an entire battlecruiser fleet, an assault ship used for patrols couldn’t possibly withstand a hundred battlecruiser volleys from the Great Harmony Cannon—they weren’t at the level of being impervious to bullets and blades yet.

In the initial skirmishes, two patrol units were thus dealt heavy blows; there was even a Subordinate Commander who chose to self-destruct because of this.

Besides the seemingly deranged Independent Federation Army, the Protos Natives attacked the Imperial forces as well. It was hard to imagine that the Protos, who traditionally employed a policy of elite units, could assemble so many fleets—in some cases, hundreds of carriers leading tens of thousands of spaceships ambushed two or three Imperial outposts. The defenses in the East Sky Zone were weak due to it not being a main Insect Race territory, and no one expected the Protos to treat it as a breakthrough point for their attack. The vast “Divine Race” forces used space jumps to seize control of two critical planets there like lightning and began establishing a base. The problem was, our main forces were still sweeping through the remaining Insect planets in the Star Zone. If we diverted the main forces to deal with humans and the “Divine Race” launching a joint attack, our previous efforts would likely be in vain. To avoid senseless losses, we withdrew our forces from the East Sky Zone, forming a temporary standoff with the Protos fleet while hunting down the Independent Federation’s fleet with all our might. Comparatively speaking, eliminating Monsk’s forces was much easier than dealing with those Protos with plenty of advanced technologies.

After completing the replication of the main military modules, the core area of General City already disassembled and ascended, transforming into the “Imperial Admiral” class mother ship. We have now arrived within the borders of the East Sky Zone, with the Protos Natives camped in the Proxima Star System right here, less than 0.3 light-years away from our temporarily established Planet Fortress—we were essentially within reach for either side to crash the other’s party at any moment.

“They still haven’t responded, and we can’t confirm their identities. However, according to the data Zeratul left us, we found no marks of Shakuras in their base. Our initial guess is they must be an extreme faction from the Protos, like the Taldarim.”

“Even their identity is unclear…” After listening to Sivis’s brief, I felt somewhat gloomy. “Tell me, we didn’t do anything outrageous, right? How come all the races in the entire Star Zone have banded together to attack the Empire?”

“Indeed, they have launched a joint attack.”

Sandora’s expression was somber, her gaze fixed on the star map in front of her with a grim look.
