World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1825 - 79: Insect Swarm Assault (Part 2)

The space barrier is inherently meant for border defense, its durability speaks for itself, so even with the major battle that Blue White Clothes and others had here just now, the residual effects of the battle could not completely destroy the barrier.

All fleets have retreated to the rear of the barrier. Although the barrier has suffered extensive damage, it can still provide some defense; something is better than nothing.

Currently, there are five forces left present, and after integrating the remaining fleets, the scale is still quite large, with no fewer than thirty thousand ships waiting behind the space barrier.

Unfortunately, many super large warships, due to speed reasons, could not migrate to the rear of the defense line in such a short time and had to be abandoned as remote-controlled bombs.

At this moment, as time passed second by second, the insect swarm approached closer to the defense line formed by the United Army, making many people sweat profusely, their faces turning pale as they look at the vast empty space.

"The strength of the Insect Domain is getting stronger, they are coming soon! Oh no! Our warship engines have malfunctioned, it must be suppressed by the Insect Domain, quickly contact the commander!"

The approach of the Desert Worm’s major forces led to engine paralysis in many warships, with the battle not having begun, and the sides not even having faced each other, yet already more than twenty percent of the United Army’s warships were unusable.

"All ships, move closer to the center position, do not disperse! We must always remain within the Solid Spirit Array, to ensure that the warships are not affected by the Insect Domain and continue to operate normally!"

The United Army also had countermeasures, utilizing warship combinations to form a special array, establishing energy transmission paths between them, forming a robust self-defense mechanism to offset the influence brought by the Insect Domain.

Zhang Xiaoman did not stay inside the Heavenly Storage Battleship but came to the damaged space barrier with Yeluo, watching the position from where the insect swarm was attacking from afar.

Initially, they appeared as faint starlight, but as the insect swarm approached, the starlight became brighter, eventually turning into a scene resembling a sky full of stars.

"Those are Dominis Star Worms! The Desert Worm Clan’s battle mother ships! There are so many of them! Surely there are at least over five thousand of them!"

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim at the spectacle before their eyes.

In spiritual perception, those dazzling stars were all towering Dominis Star Worms. Normally, encountering a single one was enough to vex people, yet now over five thousand of them appeared at once, instantly causing many new recruits who had recently joined the fleet to slump to the ground.

Zhang Xiaoman felt a slight bittersweetness in his throat at the sight before him. He knew the Desert Worm Clan always had the advantage in numbers, but he didn’t expect the number to be this overwhelming. No wonder even Blue White Clothes uttered words of uncertainty; this extraordinarily large Level 7 insect swarm was truly frightening to hear about.

"Distance of twenty-three starly units, estimated contact in ten minutes!"

The command center was already a hub of frenzy, with commanders from each fleet gathered here, continuously calculating the optimal distance for concentrated fire attacks.

Finally, after two minutes of waiting, the Desert Worm Clan reached the location where Zhang Xiaoman had previously stayed, where Vashanesh had been slain by Yeluo.

At this level, Zhang Xiaoman could already use his strong perceptive ability to clearly observe the specific forms of the insect swarm.

Apart from the five thousand insect mother ships, space was filled with an innumerable insect swarm, which, gathering together, resembled patches of dark clouds, just gazing at them stirred a sense of helplessness within people.

"Impossible to win... Impossible to win... There are too many of them... No, I can’t! I have to leave here! Let me go! Let me go!"

A recruit murmured with a dazed expression, then suddenly shouted hysterically, turning to escape from his previous position.

"Bang!"

An energy wave shot out, instantly blowing the recruit’s head apart. A squad leader stood out, pointing at the corpse on the ground, shouting angrily:

"Deserter! Death!"

Others saw this scene and gulped, even those considering fleeing forcefully suppressing their urge to turn, trembling as they stared ahead.

"Target distance position nineteen starly units!"

"Target distance position eighteen starly units!"

"Target distance position seventeen starly units!"

"Target has entered optimal fire coverage point, command concentrated fire!"

"Heavenly Storage Fleet, fire!"

"Poison Fleet, fire!"

"Yuanxin Clan Fleet, fire!"

"Satuer Fleet, fire!"

"Tianfu Formation, fire!"

"..."

The five forces all responded to the concentrated fire command, with all fleets firing together, targeting the insect swarm beyond the seventeen starly units, which is the optimal fire coverage point set by the United Army.

At this moment, countless spiritual power attacks were launched simultaneously, illuminating the entire space with brilliant beams, the powerful spiritual power fluctuations moving even Zhang Xiaoman deeply.

Such terrifying attacks, even those at the Extraordinary Level could hardly withstand them, right?

It was his first time seeing such a scene, leaving his heart deeply amazed. A single warship alone certainly couldn’t handle an Extraordinary Level, but if united, their attacks would be formidable enough not just for himself but perhaps even for Zi Kuang and Blue White Clothes too.

If utilizing the defensive characteristics of the Divine Domain to block, it could hold for a while. However, under such a number of continuous attacks, the defense of the Divine Domain could not remain open indefinitely and would eventually be hit by the fleet.

Of course, at the level of Zi Kuang and Blue White Clothes, such attacks were troublesome, but they hardly needed to take them directly, as they could easily activate Dark Speed and leave.

Nonetheless, the Desert Worm Clan clearly did not have the ability to ignore the attacks, as the United Army fleet’s spiritual power attacks hit their targets, instantly melting numerous insects, even the massive Dominis Star Worms could not escape the fate of death, only howling as they were reduced to ashes.

However, the insect swarm was simply so vast that although the United Army’s recent wave of attacks took out many insects, it was just the tip of the iceberg for the whole swarm, and the Desert Worm’s advance was not hindered at all.

Simultaneously, numerous white lines lit up on the distant insect swarm side, representing spiritual power-constructed remote attacks, dense as a meteor shower crashing into the United Army’s lines.

In an instant, images of warship explosions appeared in everyone’s eyes, with the sturdy and expensive Dark Spirit Battleships appearing to be made of paper, and the Shields having a minimal effect, silent fireworks blossomed in this patch of starlit sky.

"The insects’ attack power is too strong! Clustering together could result in complete annihilation! We must spread out!"

"We can’t spread out! That would only result in faster deaths! The Insect Domain would directly turn our warships into scrap metal! We can only choose to fight head-on!"

All sides were overwhelmed, with the United Army showing signs of insufficient capacity with just one confrontation.

Fortunately, although the space barrier was damaged, it still provided some protection, blocking half of the insect race’s attacks.

"Target has entered fifteen starly units! Estimated contact time is seven minutes!"

"Detonate the outer perimeter warships! Quick!"

With the command center’s instruction issued, the super large warships left on the outer perimeter due to speed issues were successively detonated, with intense flames flashing, enveloping numerous surrounding insects.

"Damn it! Our Poison Clan’s over two hundred flagship ships! Just gone like that!"

A Poison Clan elder couldn’t help but feel as though heart bleeding upon witnessing this scene.

Other families were not much better off, with each having numerous large flagship ships left outside, all detonated now. Alternatively, the Lan Family Fleet, having remained immobile, managed to avoid the loss from self-detonation.
