The acceleration phase had begun. Because the mass had increased, the speed of this Continent-Class ship was rising somewhat slowly. But it did not matter. Xiao Yu had left it a sufficiently long acceleration distance. Under such conditions he did not need to worry too much about excessive acceleration damaging the hull. It was going to be destroyed in the end anyway, and a little damage was nothing.

At full acceleration, its speed began to climb slowly from ten kilometers per second to one hundred kilometers per second, five hundred kilometers per second, three thousand kilometers per second.

By the time it entered the battlefield, its speed had already reached nearly thirty thousand kilometers per second.

The battle within the battlefield was extremely fierce at this time. This caused those within it to easily overlook subtle signs from outer space. What was more, Xiao Yu had already applied some disguises to this Continent-Class ship, so before it reached the battlefield, the Pegasus Civilization had not discovered Xiao Yu’s move.

Now they saw this behemoth and saw it ramming in at a speed of thirty thousand kilometers per second. Its target was precisely the planet they had transformed into a planetary war star.

What does it mean for a twenty billion ton behemoth to ram in at thirty thousand kilometers per second. Its current mass was roughly equivalent to a small asteroid of two cubic kilometers in volume. Such an asteroid, striking Earth at tens of kilometers per second, would already be enough to completely destroy Earth’s ecological environment and trigger violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, even change Earth’s plate structure. Not to mention this warship. One must know the materials that composed a warship were many times tougher than those of an ordinary asteroid, and moreover its speed had reached thirty thousand kilometers per second.

An impact of this magnitude possessed power that a planetary shield absolutely could not withstand.

This behemoth, this colossal monster, came roaring in to smash against the defensive line laid down by the Pegasus Civilization.

It was unstoppable. Its kinetic energy was too great. Even if another Continent-Class ship met it head-on, it could not be stopped. There would not be enough time or distance to accelerate. Doing so would only destroy both ships, yet after they were destroyed, the wreckage would still strike the planet. So long as this thing struck the Pegasus Civilization’s capital planet, it would suffice. As for whether what struck was an intact ship or the ship’s wreckage, Xiao Yu could not care less.

It was indestructible. No matter what was said, it was still a Continent-Class ship. During the dismantling of instruments, Xiao Yu had not removed its shield-related systems and had even deliberately reinforced part of them. How could a Continent-Class ship be destroyed in just a few minutes.

At the same time, the Pegasus Civilization’s capital planet that had been transformed into a war star could not escape in time. A planet was, after all, a planet. Its relatively fragile structure determined that it could not move quickly. It was a living target and had no way to evade the ramming Continent-Class ship.

It was a helpless matter. If the distance had been long enough, through heavy attacks by many ships or bombardment by the super negative matter cannon, perhaps its trajectory could have been altered to avoid this collision. Unfortunately, this planetary war star had already been transported to the front line. It was too close, and there was no way to block it.

On the capital planet of the Pegasus Civilization, atop that small mountain, the leader who received this intelligence kept his expression steady, but the slight twitch at the corner of his eye betrayed his feelings at that moment. He sent out an order, and a small ship immediately flew over and took him away.

“Order the Galloping Pegasus and the associated escort fleet to retreat at once. All scientists, guards, and preselected personnel are to board immediately and prepare to evacuate. This stellar system cannot be held. We must go to the Death Flower Star System.” the leader ordered, a little hurriedly.

“But, but…” the aide stammered, his voice trembling. “Are we just going to leave our homeland like this. This is only one ramming Continent-Class ship. Even if it can destroy our planetary shield, it does not matter. Our defensive line can still hold, and in only three days we can repair the planetary shield. By then I do not believe the Divine Ark Civilization will bring another Continent-Class ship to ram our line. We have no need to flee. This is, after all, the home where we have lived for tens of thousands of years.”

The leader looked at his aide with some sorrow and said in a rather desolate voice, “Do you think the Divine Ark Civilization will give us the chance to repair the planetary shield. Do not question my decision. Go. Go. Act quickly.”

Under the leader’s authority, the aide finally lowered his head. He moved to the side and used the communicator to transmit the leader’s orders.

“First I used the other four star systems within the capital planet’s defensive ring to wear down half of the Divine Ark Civilization’s power, then dispatched the Galloping Pegasus to lead a superior force to fight the Divine Ark Civilization’s fleet on home ground. Without accidents, they would certainly fail. But they revealed a trump card and used that fleet suspected of being made with Level 6 Civilization technology. Then I moved the capital planet to the front and even brought out the super negative matter cannon, which allowed me once again to take the upper hand. Yet how did I overlook that captured Continent-Class ship. The ramming of one Continent-Class ship can destroy the planetary shield. Then those hateful Level 6 Civilization ships can take advantage of the breach and destroy all planetary engines and the planetary shield generators. Without the capital planet’s support, the front line will certainly collapse. The battlefield is already rotten. All my trump cards have been played. The situation cannot be salvaged. Only by reaching the Death Flower Star System and relying on the strength of the Level 5 Civilization Alliance can we rise again. Go. Go. So long as we can reach the range of a Level 6 Civilization, all sacrifices are worth it. All sacrifices are worth it.”

The leader silently closed his eyes.

At this time, the Continent-Class warship that Xiao Yu had transformed into a garbage ship had only just reached the edge of the battlefield. Xiao Yu’s ships had already withdrawn in advance to clear a path for its advance. Perhaps the Pegasus defensive fleet had received the relevant information, yet they had not retreated.

“Do they intend to grasp that sliver of life, to hope to sacrifice themselves and block the ramming of this Continent-Class ship. Your courage and spirit are admirable, but useless. Hm. Why is the Pegasus Civilization’s flagship withdrawing. Together about four hundred thousand ships are retreating with it. They are heading toward their capital planet. Do they intend to set up a final defensive line?”

The initiative had returned to Xiao Yu. He quietly watched the changes in the battlefield situation and temporarily kept his forces on hold.

The rapidly charging Continent-Class ship finally reached the battlefield. Like a maddened giant beast, it surged forward with unstoppable momentum.

At that moment, the first collision occurred. It was a Town-Class ship of the Pegasus Civilization. Its size and mass were very small, which meant it had extremely strong maneuverability and could, in a very short distance and time, accelerate itself to an extremely high speed. In fact, in this brief time its speed had already risen to nearly forty thousand kilometers per second, even faster than the ramming Continent-Class ship.

Added together, the relative speed had reached nearly seventy thousand kilometers per second.

It slammed straight into the Continent-Class ship. Unfortunately, its mass was too small and far from enough to pose a threat. Aside from bursting a spark on the Continent-Class ship’s shield, it had no effect.

Another ship moved. Like a moth to a flame, it followed in the former’s path and struck the Continent-Class ship. Then came the third, the fourth.

They were like those valiant soldiers of Earth’s era who held satchel charges to blow up tanks. From the actions of these ships, Xiao Yu perceived the spirit and will of the Pegasus Civilization. But such actions themselves had no meaning. Unless a Nation-Class or Continent-Class ship rammed, there was only a sliver of hope.

“Hm, a Continent-Class ship moved indeed. They hope to sacrifice one Continent-Class ship to save their capital planet. It is impossible.” Xiao Yu murmured, steering the Asia to rush forward.

Even a Continent-Class ship’s ramming could not stop this frenzied behemoth. However, a lateral collision could still alter its trajectory, and an impact at that level would definitely damage the internal systems of the ramming Continent-Class ship. That is to say, once it was knocked off course, Xiao Yu would be unable to readjust its trajectory, and it would naturally fail to strike the capital planet.

But how could Xiao Yu allow that to happen. As soon as that Continent-Class ship moved, the Asia rushed up to block it. Other Nation-Class ships attempting to ram were also blocked by Xiao Yu’s forces.

The ramming of small ships continued, but their sacrifices brought no return. The Continent-Class ship still maintained its mad posture and hurtled toward the planet ahead.
