At the same time as the alarm sounded on the lighthouse star, at the edge of the warning sector, more than three million warships of the Fallen Ark formed a long dragon-like formation, and were continuously penetrating into the hinterland of the defense line.

Among the main ships, Ability God and his capable subordinate Hutchison looked at the star map. The distance between the lighthouse star marked as a red target and them was gradually shortening.

"Boss, we have entered the warning range of the Lighthouse Star. The radar shows that the imperial fleet patrolling nearby is heading towards us, and there will be a battle soon."

As Hutchison spoke, he scratched the back of his neck with his long tongue.

"Try to speed up and don't get restrained."

The Ability God spoke calmly, this time it was not his clone, but his true self who was present.

Hudkison flicked his tongue and said: "Even if we cooperate, Ethereal Religion is still wary of us. Not only did they not reveal their specific action plan, they also changed the location of their secret star gate, obviously to be wary of us.

, and I don’t know when they will attack and from what direction they will attack.”

The Ability God didn't take it seriously. The cooperation between the two parties was to seek skin from the tiger, and it was normal to be wary of each other. Just like he would not tell the Ethereal Religion where his secret star gate was built.

With the Lighthouse Star as the center, the warning sector as a buffer zone is very large. Once the enemy is discovered and there is sufficient time to mobilize troops, they will not be able to reach the Lighthouse Star for a while. Therefore, although the Ethereal Religion operates secretly, the gods can guess

to their thoughts.

It is nothing more than letting him play the vanguard. With the size of his fleet, it is not enough for the empire to abandon the Lighthouse Star outpost. After he breaks through all the way to the Lighthouse Star and entangles the three Transcendent A Grades from Black Star so that they cannot escape easily, the virtual

Only the Spiritual Sect will attack, and the reason for doing so is to prevent the enemy from being scared away.

Ability God felt that he had guessed the intentions of the Ethereal Religion very well. The only thing that was in doubt was how many high-level combat forces the Ethereal Religion had sent out this time.

The empire has three Transcendent A Grades, and Milizaus’ combat power is barely comparable to his own, so the Ethereal Religion only needs to deal with Black Star and Beoni.

There is still a big gap between the combat power of these two people and the top Transcendent A Grade. To be on the safe side, the Ethereal Religion can crush the opponent by sending four or more Transcendent A Grades.

'I don't know who Ethereal Religion sent out this time...'

The power god narrowed his eyes. If the person coming was too strong, he would have to be careful not to be taken advantage of.

At this time, the fleet that the empire came to attack finally arrived and appeared on the radar.

Hutchison looked at Ability God's face and saw that the boss had no intention of speaking, so he issued an order on Ability God's behalf.

"Everyone is free to fire! Destroy all blocking enemy ships!"

…

The Lighthouse Star has entered the highest alert state, and three Transcendent A Grades followed Tarrokov to the remote operations command room.

A large number of officers and personnel gathered in the room, and countless messages were sent back from the battlefield and handed over to them for processing. Tarrokov stood in front of the huge three-dimensional projection of the battlefield with his hands clasped, his eyes fixed and his face serious.

The scene projected on the battlefield is exactly the scene of the battle between the Ark Fleet of the Fallen and the Empire's outer guard fleet. The enemy's and our spaceships have been shrunk countless times, completely restoring the scene of the battlefield, as if two mini fleets are fighting in front of everyone's eyes, lifelike. And the projection on the battlefield

Surrounded by a shrunken star map of the warning sector, the lighthouse star is highlighted. The shrunken planet projection is glowing, and a red line stretches out to connect with the enemy fleet - this represents the current distance between the two sides.

"There are approximately 3.2 million enemy ships. This is a huge fleet. It can send this fleet into the Glittering World. This force is very powerful. Their origin cannot be seen from the model of the spacecraft."

A staff adjutant said.

"The most likely possibility is the Ethereal Sect." As he spoke, Tarrokov glanced at Han Xiao and continued: "But the possibility of other forces cannot be ruled out."

Han Xiao noticed his eyes and spoke in a positive tone: "It's the Ethereal Sect."

Tarrokov looked at him again, nodded slowly, and said in a calm tone, "I understand."

Han Xiao looked calm, but his actual mood was extremely solemn.

His words were not conjecture. Just after this mysterious fleet appeared, a mission trigger prompt popped up on his panel, and the mission introduction revealed that this was an action of the Ethereal Religion.

[You have triggered the emergency mission [Cause and Effect]!]

[Mission introduction: You took away the Evolution Cube and attracted the hostility of the Ethereal Religion. Today they finally took action and decided to carry out a thunder blow on you and regain the Evolution Cube in your hand!]

[Task requirement: Defeat the enemy or escape successfully]

[Failure condition: 1. Death]

[2. Lose the evolution block]

[Reward: 240e~450e experience, legend +1, random reward x3, unknown character card x3]

Han Xiao was shocked when he saw the reward.

Minimum experience reward of 24 billion?! When we first defeated Heboar, the highest reward for the mission was only 8.5 billion experience!

Even from his perspective, this is a huge experience!

Han Xiao couldn't be happy at all, because the reward is directly proportional to the difficulty. Such a high reward means that the intensity of the Ethereal Religion's attack will be unprecedentedly terrifying! The maximum is more than 40 billion experience, which means more than five super

A-level means!

Who can withstand this!

Although Han Xiao secretly hired other foreign aid just to be on the safe side, he couldn't help but want to retreat, but at the same time he was wary:

——If you escape through the star gate now, it is theoretically very safe, but if you successfully escape, there is a minimum reward of more than 20 billion. Will it be so easy to complete the task?

Maybe the Ethereal Religion has some unknown means. If I run away now, will I be caught alone?

He is under heavy protection and is still safe at the moment. If he runs away as soon as he sees the enemy, he will be looked down upon by the empire. After thinking about it, Han Xiao did not act rashly for the time being, but followed Tarrokov to the battle.

room, planning to wait and see the situation.

The buffer zone is wide enough, and it's not too late to check the situation yourself before deciding whether to run or not.

‘The task is called cause and effect... Hey, as expected, other people’s cosmic treasures are not so easy to get.’ Han Xiao secretly grinned.

But no one present knew his mental activities.

Tarrokov carefully observed the changes on the battlefield and slowly issued the order:

"Notify all the empire's allies who are out exploring that all Transcendent A Grade combat forces will return immediately and rush to the aid of Lighthouse Star as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Han Xiao's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly.

Apparently Tarrokov was also aware of this, and the commander-in-chief still had a vision.

There are still three Imperial Transcendent A Grades exploring the Glittering World. Heboar, Ravenloud, and the machinist Maxirol, who had a close relationship. If they all come back and the six Transcendent A Grades gather together, then

It basically doesn't scare the enemy anymore.

Without knowing how much advanced combat power the Ethereal Religion has, Tarrokov doesn't care about making fuss. His style is to be steady and not afraid of trouble. Even if it turns out to be unnecessary, it is better than regretting it.

"The imperial fleet at war has received news of asking for help. They cannot stop the enemy. Commander-in-Chief, should we send peripheral security forces from other areas to the nearest area for reinforcements?"

Tarrokov squinted his eyes and observed for a while, "Only mobilize the security troops in that direction. Do not move the peripheral troops in other directions. The rest will be sent out by the Lighthouse Star headquarters as reinforcements."

Beoni was a little surprised, "Sending a fleet from headquarters will take a lot of time on the way. This group of enemies will rush forward for a long distance. Why not directly mobilize the peripheral fleets?"

Tarrokov said solemnly: "The enemy's fleet went deep alone and had no markings. I think this is not a large force of the Ethereal Religion, but an advance army. The purpose is to involve our peripheral defense lines and alert them.

There is a vacancy in the sector. And their large forces will take advantage of the loopholes in the warning sector to rush in from other directions, forming a situation of flanking attacks from two sides or even from multiple sides, making us focus on one and lose the other. This should be the tactic of the Ethereal Religion."

After listening to the commander-in-chief's explanation, everyone took a closer look at the situation and had to admit that this was a plan that the enemy was likely to adopt. Tarrokov had seen through it. There was nothing wrong with this approach.

"But this is only a temporary response. Next, we need information. We must find out how much Transcendent A Grade combat power there is in the enemy's fleet."

Tarrokov turned to look at the three of them. The meaning was self-evident. Only those of the same level could force the same level to take action.

"Leave it to my ranged troops."

Han Xiao nodded. He was the target of the enemy and the key figure in this battle. In this case, it was not suitable for the three Transcendent A Grades to be separated.

And the long-range troops he sent out during this period can now be used just right.

…

"What? The Lighthouse Star was attacked?!"

Renault Star Cluster, War Realm Fleet, Heboar who was taking a bath on the star quickly received the news from Joad, and his expression couldn't help but change.

"The enemy is Ethereal Religion and the target is Black Star. Commander-in-Chief Tarrokov wants us to go back to support... Lord Overlord, what should we do?" Joad asked cautiously.

Heboar frowned, there was still a rift between the two, and he did not want to help Black Star.

However, he immediately thought of something, and his brows slowly relaxed.

"Since it is an order from the empire, then go and provide support. Notify my headquarters fleet and head to the nearest stargate jump point at full speed!"

Heboar's fleet quickly turned around and headed towards the star gate leading to the lighthouse star at full speed.

Although there is a grudge against Han Xiao, this time is about the dignity of the empire. As a member of the empire, maintaining the status of the empire is in line with one's own interests.

On the other side, the Gaolu Star Cluster and the Arcane Academy Fleet.

Ravenloud also received a message from Tarrokov asking for help. After reading it, his face was expressionless.

Black Star's life and death has nothing to do with him. He wishes he had one less competitor...

But it is a pity that his power is in the central star sea and relies on the care of the empire.

It was not appropriate to disobey the empire's orders for such a trivial matter, so he had no choice but to lead his people to support him.

Soon, he discovered an annoying thing. The stargate transportation network built by Black Star in the Gaolu Star Cluster suddenly became a fast support channel, providing convenience for rescue. Even if he wanted to delay, he had no excuse.

At this moment, Ravenloud had a flash of inspiration and suddenly became alarmed.

——Did Black Star calculate this in advance when building long-distance star gate passages?!
