CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 513: FRUIT OF VICTORY

The starry sky was chaotic, the atmosphere chilling!

This war had reached the moment of the final battle.

With the emergence of eight thousand Constant Star Avatars, Lu Chen led the entire Wandering Alliance to launch a counterattack.

Ten thousand one hundred combat forces, consisting of eight thousand Constant Stars and three thousand Battle Stars, flew towards the Krypton Gold Battle Star in the starry sky, launching their fiercest attacks.

Instantly, the already bright starry sky became even more magnificent, with various weapons of different sizes and colors flying and streaking across the space, creating a vast rainbow rain across the clear sky.

"Damn it!"

Faced with the desperate counterattack from the Wandering Alliance, the Krypton Gold Civilization gradually found themselves overwhelmed, with the commander even letting out an angry roar!

Initially, their three thousand-plus Battle Stars were able to hold their own against the Wandering Alliance, but with the addition of the eight thousand Constant Stars, the balance of power was lost. Now, each of their Krypton Gold Battle Stars had to face three to four enemy Battle Stars, putting them at a disadvantage.

What’s worse, as the number of the Wandering Alliance’s Battle Stars had surged, they were everywhere, encircling the Krypton Gold Battle Stars. Those that had been fighting dispersed were isolated one by one and brutally attacked by enemy Battle Stars, creating a dire situation.

This was akin to a three thousand-man army tasked with attacking the enemy’s headquarters.

However, upon really rushing into the enemy’s headquarters, they discovered that a trap was set, and eight thousand reinforcements were ambushed, equivalent to walking into a trap.

The Krypton Gold Civilization, being a Level 5 civilization, naturally did not want to perish here.

Thus, the Krypton Gold Civilization fiercely resisted and countered, attempting to turn the tide of the disadvantageous battle.

Unfortunately, most of their intelligence had already been compromised by the Wandering Alliance in previous conflicts, and the numerical superiority of the Wandering Alliance had suddenly expanded to three times. Such gaps could not be filled by mere desperation, so Krypton Gold’s Battle Stars quickly could not hold on.

"Commander, the enemy’s firepower is too strong, and some of our equipment has malfunctioned—we can’t hold on much longer!"

This was a message sent from one of the Krypton Gold Battle Stars to the commanding Battle Star, and similar messages continued to stream in as the war persisted.

Faced with this worsening situation, the command Battle Star of the Krypton Gold Civilization felt powerless as they themselves were being attacked by three Battle Stars from the Wandering Alliance, at risk of being taken down at any moment, with no capacity left to save other Battle Stars.

Among them, after sending out a message about the war, one Krypton Gold Battle Star was subjected to fierce attacks by three Constant Star Avatars and one Source Material Battle Star. Due to malfunctions in the Information Wall during the battle, they were unable to use the Information Wall for interceptions, hence they could only use the Jump Engine to evade the incoming Information Weapons.

However, having received no further orders from the command Battle Star, they did not teleport too far, just one light-year away. But at that moment, the entire Protostellar Nebula had become a battlefield, with no truly safe place. When they thought they had teleported to a safe location, they soon discovered a Constant Star Avatar nearby. Without further ado, it launched an Information Source Collapse, annihilating the Krypton Gold Battle Star that had just teleported there.

This was not an isolated incident, as many Krypton Gold Battle Stars were subsequently destroyed across the nebula battlefield.

Watching as the number of Krypton Gold Battle Stars dwindled, and countless compatriots living on them died in battle, the command Battle Star was deeply distressed but powerless.

In the end, with no other options, the command Battle Star could only announce a retreat.

"We’ve lost this war; we underestimated the Wandering Alliance’s military strength. To minimize our losses and save more lives, I solemnly announce an immediate retreat. Krypton Gold Battle Stars that still have combat capability should not entangle too much with the Wandering Alliance, and those that have lost or have insufficient combat capabilities should immediately request nearby capable Battle Stars for a retreat. Our only goal now is to ensure as many of our compatriots safely evacuate!"

This order signified that the Krypton Gold Civilization acknowledged their defeat, also serving as recognition of the Wandering Alliance’s strength.

But this was something the Krypton Gold Civilization could not have anticipated, no matter how. They never expected the technological level of the Wandering Alliance to match theirs, a newly formed Level 5 civilization with unique advancements in technology. Moreover, it was undeniable that the Wandering Alliance had bold strategies, daring to incorporate Celestial Consciousness into the nebula, leading the rapid formation of Constant Star Celestial Bodies, an innovative thinking they had never considered before.

Previously, they had mainly promoted celestial body formation externally, never considering the internal approach.

And before they set off, they thought they could easily bring back the Metal Civilization, but the current outcome had severely embarrassed them, revealing that the Wandering Alliance was stronger in every aspect than they had anticipated.

At this moment, they began to understand why the Metal Civilization was so resolute in staying with the Wandering Alliance.

On the other hand,

The Wandering Alliance quickly noticed the Krypton Gold Civilization’s retreat.

However, with the war having progressed to this stage, the Wandering Alliance naturally would not easily let the Krypton Gold Civilization escape. Thus, Black Hole Lu Chen ordered all Battle Stars to forcefully intercept the fleeing Krypton Gold Battle Stars, making sure they could not escape back to their base.

Under the full-force interception of the entire Wandering Alliance’s Battle Stars, many Krypton Gold Battle Stars were successively annihilated. Some, having lost their combat capability, decisively detonated their entire planets to cover the retreat of their compatriots and prevent the Wandering Alliance from blocking and pursuing further.

Ultimately, after suffering heavy losses, the Krypton Gold Civilization’s Battle Stars gradually disappeared from the nebula battlefield.

The nebula battlefield instantly quieted down, signaling the end of this war, with the Wandering Alliance achieving the ultimate victory!

However, Black Hole Lu Chen remained highly vigilant, stating, "Although the Krypton Gold Civilization appears to have retreated, we must not take it lightly. Now, with the fruits of victory within our grasp, we must not be deceived by the enemy’s surface actions. We must repeatedly confirm their movements!"

Under the orders of Black Hole Lu Chen, some Battle Stars began to meticulously detect the entire territory.

Meanwhile, another group of Battle Stars began to clear the battlefield and tally the casualties.

After thorough detections, the Wandering Alliance did not find any traces of hidden Krypton Gold Battle Stars. This indicated that this time, their use of the Jump Engine was not just a shift between battlefield locations but a genuine retreat. It was only then that the members of the Wandering Alliance could slightly relax.
