"Boom boom boom!"
Artillery fire streaked across the skies of Atari Star like a meteor shower.
The coffins seemed to be endless. Even though all five motherships fired precisely with every shot, they still appeared inexhaustible!
"What the hell are these damn coffins?"
Fang Er was becoming impatient.
They possessed propulsion, could navigate space, and their defense wasn't bad either, comparable to Spore-class warships.
Yet the enemy could deploy so many at once, something he couldn't comprehend.
Furthermore, the ten Emperor-class motherships indicated just how powerful the civilization of these two-headed giants was.
And they had specifically targeted Atari Star!
Moreover, according to the Da Yuan Zhong, the two-headed giants had attacked Atari Star not just once over countless years!
There had to be something fishy going on!
Time could wash away everything, but it hadn't washed away the two-headed giants' ambition to invade Atari Star.
It was too bizarre!
"Lord Duke, we've contacted Commander Li!"
Suddenly, Wang Xuance, holding a communicator, shouted ecstatically at Fang Er.
Pressing the communicator, Fang Er got straight to the point.
"Commander Li, this is Fang Anzhi. Atari Star needs your support!"
However, from the communicator came Li Wan's apologetic voice.
"Brother, I'm sorry, but I can't get involved in this matter!"
Fang Er was very surprised by this response and quickly said.
"What do you mean you can't get involved?"
"I can pay more!"
"Name your price, as long as you can drive these brats away for me!"
Li Wan's voice held a hint of helplessness: "There are some things I can't tell you yet. If you want to know, you'll have to survive this ordeal!"
With that, the line went dead.
Putting down the communicator, Fang Er pondered for a long time, unable to understand what he meant.
Li Shimin, standing beside him, stroked his beard and said, "Since he said that, it means this war is not simple!"
"Perhaps he also has some unspeakable difficulties."
Fang Er: ???
Unspeakable difficulties?
As a captain of the Enforcement Team, he was considered management in the entire Interstellar Black Market. What unspeakable difficulties could he have?
He couldn't figure it out, but the situation outside didn't allow him to delve deeper.
Because the Star Annihilator cannon on one of the enemy ships had locked onto their mothership, the White Emperor!
"Alert! Alert!"
"In five minutes, the Star Annihilator will strike!"
The ship's control system had deduced the attack countdown based on the energy fluctuations from the enemy mothership.
This made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.
"Commander Fang, we can only divert all energy to the defense shields now, otherwise, we won't survive this round of bombardment!"
At the control console, a Naga man named Dodora suggested to Fang Er.
He was a subordinate of Wei Zhi'entian and was familiar with operating various ships, having participated in many space battles while plundering with Wei Zhi'entian.
However, this was his first time encountering a large-scale battle of this magnitude.
At this moment, his forehead was as if washed by water, and large amounts of sweat seeped out.
Fang Er was anxiously scratching his head. Those damn Wei Zhi'entian and Jin Wutu'an had also gone off to plunder somewhere, disappearing for a while and hadn't returned yet.
If they were here, seven against ten, there might still be a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Facing an enemy of this scale, all strategies seemed useless.
"Strength overcomes ten skills" perfectly described the current situation.
Insufficient firepower, what could compensate for it?
"Open the door, I'm here to support!"
Suddenly, Xi Tong's voice echoed in his mind. Fang Er subconsciously looked at the monitor.
Outside the White Emperor-class mothership, a Spore-class warship had appeared at some point!
"It's Madam!"
Wang Xuance also saw the spaceship. The number on the hull made him instantly guess who it was.
"Quick! Open the hangar bay!"
Fang Er's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly shouted.
Soon, Xi Tong was led in. As soon as she entered the command deck, she pulled out the data cables from the control console without a word.
Familiar actions, familiar scene!
Li Shimin stood by, watching in confusion, completely unaware of what she was doing.
Only Fang Er and the members of the Tianhuo Army watched her with anticipation.
The next moment, a series of alarms sounded within the ship.
"Warning! Warning! System being invaded, data rewriting in progress!"
"Unknown language pack loading, warning! This operation may cause the ship to lose control!"
"Fire control system rewriting, warning! This operation may cause the ship's weapons to malfunction!"
"Defense system rewriting, warning! This operation may cause the ship's defense system to fail!"
"Energy conversion system rewriting..."
"..."
The alarms blared one after another, never ceasing.
But Xi Tong continued as usual. Warnings could warn, but she had her own tasks to complete!
While doing so, she even had time to tease Fang Shan.
"Little thief, what are those things outside? It seems you're not doing too well!"
Fang Er chuckled wryly and shook his head, "Don't talk about that for now, how long will your upgrade take?"
"Five minutes at most... no, four minutes at most, the enemy's Star Annihilator will strike!"
Xi Tong had no idea what was going on. She had come here voluntarily after analyzing the blue mist.
Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon the ongoing battle.
Xi Tong replied without thinking.
"Four minutes... that's enough. I'll let them have this round first!"
"Have all other ships hide behind this ship!"
"I'll show them what an indestructible tortoise shell looks like!"
Fang Er was overjoyed. Without time to pay attention to the bewildered Li Shimin, he quickly relayed the order.
Time ticked by, and over four minutes passed in a blink.
Xi Tong's upgrade to the mothership was not yet complete, but she suddenly commanded the control console.
"Activate the Dragon Turtle Shield, power at 500%!"
"Received, as you wish, my dear Madam!"
The control console responded, but this time, it was no longer the common language of Andromeda, but pure Mandarin!
Then, the mothership's hull vibrated slightly, and an earth-yellow energy shield appeared around the ship.
Like a tortoise shell, it blocked the path between the enemy ships and the White Emperor!
But on the other side of the White Emperor, there was no defense at all!
This was...
Concentrating the entire defense on one side!
At that moment, a blinding light emanated from the enemy ships.
The attack was coming!
