CHAPTER 1052: CHAPTER 1050: NO ONE IS GETTING AWAY

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The battle has begun on the outskirts of the mineral vein, with ships firing at full force, unleashing tongues of fire madly at the enemy’s ships.

Warriors from both sides are fighting fiercely together, the chaotic scene making it difficult to distinguish between allies and enemies. Some unlucky souls even perish under the fire of their own fleet.

Even those Level Six and Level Seven Life Forms are caught in the intense fight, their battles are so fierce that just the shock waves can kill a group of Level Five Life Forms; they can sink a top-tier ship with just a gesture.

Even those Level Eight Life Form Legion Commanders are starting to engage in mutual restraint, the scene vividly illustrating the essence of war.

"If not for our Legion Commander, we might be like that cannon fodder now, wouldn’t we?" The warriors in Zhang Menglong’s legion pondered individually.

Joining Zhang Menglong’s army is undoubtedly the luckiest event of their lives, as their strength has increased hundredfold, allowing them to navigate the bloody battlefield with ease and composure.

"Just recite this script for me, using the full-band communication channel, make sure that the entire universe hears it!"

...

War is happening in almost every corner of the mineral vein outskirts. The honorable ones are engaging in one-on-one duels on the battlefront, while the dishonorable ones are ambushing each other.

The powerful universes lead large groups of followers, while the weaker universes hover around, avoiding attacks from stronger universes and waiting to strike opportunistically.

Almost every minute, countless cannon fodder perish, countless ships are destroyed, and in just a few minutes, a legion is completely erased from this game. It’s an outright meat grinder.

Everyone’s eyes have turned red with killing, yet at this moment, a voice rings out across all communication channels.

"Listen up, everyone, we are the peace-loving Universe Seven. We hereby unilaterally announce that this Star Core mineral vein is now under our control. From now on, anyone remaining nearby within five minutes will be considered an intruder. Consequences are your own responsibility. Remember, you only have five minutes, only five minutes!"

"Repeating once more..."

...

"Universe Seven? What’s that nonsense? Never heard of it!"

"Such arrogance, claiming to have unilaterally occupied the mineral vein. Do they think we other universes don’t exist?"

"Hahaha, Universe Seven? Aren’t they almost last among the universes? Did they drink some fake booze and lose their minds?"

"Found the data. Universe Seven defeated only one legion, and their legion is less than half the strength of an average standard legion. Their equipment and weapons are outdated, and their warriors’ combat capabilities are bottom-rung. Our single legion could probably defeat ten of theirs!"

"Ignore them. Universe Nine is our biggest threat in this battle, keep attacking!"

"Idiots, I want to see what happens if we don’t retreat after five minutes."

...

The warning from Universe Seven has spread to over 3000 civilizations, but none of them take it seriously.

It’s laughable, like a baby standing up and threatening to kill an adult. For universes like Universe Seven, sending a single legion could easily crush them.

"Legion Commander, we’ve sent this notification to everyone, but no one has chosen to leave."

"No reply?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Yes, but I’m afraid to report it..."

"Speak!"

"1029 universes called you an idiot, 837 universes insulted your family, and over 200 universes dared us to broadcast our current coordinates, claiming they’ll wipe us out directly to stop us from making a fuss here..."

"Great! Great!" Zhang Menglong clapped his hands, "Their courage is commendable!"

"You, broadcast our coordinates now! Let’s see who dares to defy death!"

Seeing Zhang Menglong’s expression, En Chen suddenly began praying for all the universes on this battlefield, hoping God would have mercy on them, Amen.

...

"Legion Commander, Universe Seven actually broadcast their coordinates!"

"Send any legion to deal with them, don’t let them continue distracting us here!"

"Yes!"

More than half of those 200-plus universes that provoked Zhang Menglong dispatched fleets toward the revealed location. These are very powerful universes, and a legion’s strength does not affect their overall combat power in the battle.

But they couldn’t sit idly by while an unknown universe brazenly challenged them right under their noses.

Challenging every legion on this battlefield? That’s sure to come with consequences!

...

No. 20 Universe’s Third Fleet.

"Honestly, it’s boring, how could the commander have us deal with trivial Universe Seven?" a Vice Legion Commander yawned.

No. 20 Universe ranks among the top 100 on the entire outer battlefield. Eliminating Universe Seven’s fleet is simply a waste of time and effort for them.

"I’m not complaining, so why are you?" the Third Fleet Legion Commander said, "We just follow the commander’s orders."

"Commander, what nonsense! He’s just a few million years older than you, Legion Commander. In terms of combat strength, his legion doesn’t even match ours. It’s puzzling why General placed him in command this time."

"Enough, don’t say any more," the Legion Commander smiled, glancing at the display screen, "Universe Seven seems to have angered the masses. Look, at least 150 legions are heading to their coordinates; I genuinely want to see what gives them the confidence to challenge us."

Suddenly, the Legion Commander’s expression turned strange.

"What’s the matter, Legion Commander?" The adjutant suddenly sensed something amiss.

"What’s going on? Why is the number of legions constantly decreasing? Did they encounter other universes’ attacks?"

The monitor, which was densely displaying trajectories of over 150 legions, was directing them all toward the coordinates marked by Universe Seven.

But those trajectories were disappearing at a visibly rapid rate.

140.

130.

120.

This type of detector measures by energy reaction, and rarely does any technology evade such detection; more importantly, on a battlefield of direct confrontation like this, such technology isn’t needed.

Hence, it implies those energy reactions have vanished.

In other words, those legions are disappearing one by one!

"Legion Commander, look, what is that?" The adjutant suddenly pointed into the distance.

It was dozens of golden beams, trailing beautiful tails like meteors, heading toward their battleship formation.

"Activate the defense systems!"

However, it was a futile operation.

"Rumble!"

No. 20 Universe’s Third Legion was directly erased amid a golden glow.

...

"Report, Legion Commander: incoming forces from No. 20 Universe’s Third Legion are neutralized, only 102 life forms left alive!"

"Report, Legion Commander: incoming forces from No. 2 Universe’s 15th Legion are neutralized, only 98 life forms remain!"

"Report, Legion Commander... all 157 incoming legions have been completely struck down! Please continue your orders!"

"Is it five minutes yet?" Zhang Menglong asked calmly.

"Legion Commander, 20 seconds remaining."

"Close enough," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "Since you didn’t leave earlier, now none of you will!"
