As he spoke, Valan, the leader, took out a highly sophisticated launch device. He indicated that as long as he removed the safety, entered the correct launch sequence, and pressed the button, the Titan Elf Clan on this planet would be annihilated instantly, with no survivors.
The room erupted in enthusiastic applause...
At this moment, Valan smiled and stated that, in fact, the simulated gravity was just a facade. During the half-day they purportedly were setting up the simulated gravity, Valan had secretly constructed several missile silos fitted with the 'Tuo Lu' dispersal system, enabling instantaneous coverage of the entire star domain except for the human alliance, a full-screen strike.
Surprise? Unexpected?
It certainly was a surprise, and unexpected too. This lunatic secretly built missile silos on the planet without even the allied nations knowing. It's too reckless.
Bergheide's spokesperson looked a bit worried, "Your Excellency, it's better to act sooner rather than later in this matter."
"Haha, but shouldn't we celebrate this victory for humanity first?"
This... celebrating a victory before the battle even begins? Celebrate my ass, just act already. The Titan Elf Clan's troops are already attacking, and there's no time for a celebration here.
Under the constant urging of the leaders of various countries, Valan finally decided to initiate a global strike.
With the high command on the ground issuing orders, in an instant, dozens to hundreds of missile launchers fired a salvo in all directions, loaded with countless nuclear bombs. However, only the central region occupied by humans remained safe, untouched.
Meanwhile, the Allied Space Fleet was closely monitoring ground movements, Adams was stunned... his mouth agape as if it could fit an egg inside, and the Silver Alliance Speaker was utterly speechless. Just bombing without considering anything at all, not even convening an allied meeting.
Seconds later, the main computer Noah released a message. This message was surprisingly joyous; astonishing indeed. Before the coalition's nuclear weapons were even halfway to their targets, they were intercepted mid-air by enemy armaments resembling conventional weapons, resulting in explosions...
The effects of a space explosion were even more devastating than those on the ground. The impact killed thousands of our soldiers outright and destroyed 20 large warships, with countless medium and small warships impacted as well. Yet, this was only the loss from a single unlaunched atomic bomb exploding; other missiles were still en route.
It exploded the coalition forces right away! This was just the direct casualties; the effects of radiation pollution were just as severe as the casualty figures, requiring an immediate halt to the launches or redirecting the missiles to uninhabited areas.
Valan was dumbfounded. How could a launch system equipped with the Tuo Lu storm be intercepted so easily?
More surprising news followed. Just as the coalition's ground missile forces launched a wave of salvos, the human alliance was bombarded disproportionately with another series of attacks, with missiles flooding the sky as if money were no object, coming from some unknown corner.
This time, however, the bombing targeted humans, making it impossible to defensively cover such a small area.
Luckily, the human alliance had the Noah defense system. With its precise calculations, the active interception success rate exceeded 80%. The remainder was either too difficult to intercept or simply not worth intercepting.
In no time, the human landing plan faced unprecedented blows. The Titan Elf Clan charged at humanity at the most critical moment, and though each warrior repeatedly boarded their Mechas to resist, the headquarters nearly descended into chaos, with advanced generals of various countries like ants on a hot pan.
Immediately, the space force dispatched four armored divisions as reinforcements, but the Titan Elf Clan also had them tied down, leaving them in disarray.
The Ancient Queen sneered at the chaotic humans, "Is this… the human army that Darkwing spoke of?"
Absolutely speechless, it seemed Kexiao wasn't all that formidable, considering misinformation and exaggeration have always been a human trait, a genetic flaw.
But it wouldn't be easy to sweep away humans in one fell swoop, as the Titan Elf Clan hadn't lived on the ground for many years. Even the most courageous warriors would be constrained by gravity and unable to perform at half their potential.
They didn't refuse to live on the ground; they just couldn't find a suitable place to reside, whereas within this human-occupied star domain spanning dozens of light-years, there were many planets suitable for the Titan Elves.
Human resistance persisted; it was a life-and-death battle, under the steel shelter of Mecha armor. Human soldiers had some capacity to resist.
Yet as scattered troops sounded the retreat, the soldiers of various countries were already in a state of disarray, those unable to retreat devolving from initial chaos into a final scattered flight.
Witnessing countless soldiers in disarray on the battlefield, Sky Shadow felt both bewildered and filled with unnamed emotions, as though words failed to describe them, leaving confusion etched on his face.
Haven't even started, and you all ended already…?
Tch, no idea which idiot gathered the troops in such a dead-end. Losing was inevitable.
Though Sky Shadow was astonished, he wasn't so indifferent as to stand by and watch, letting these soldiers remain unaided. After all, they were human, no matter how their stupidity astounded him.
Just as the Titan Elf forces pursued their victory, Sky Shadow intervened mid-way, unleashing a flurry of air slashes with an almost imperceptible speed, eliminating over a hundred Titan Elf soldiers in an instant.
The humans had barely reacted when suddenly their pursuers were gone? The squad leader composed himself and saw a figure standing behind them. Despite being just a silhouette, it exuded a faint but indescribable sense of oppression.
A soldier boldly approached, and before he could speak, Sky Shadow turned around, an action that nearly made the soldier wet himself!
"Devil! Devil!"
The team leader found this figure increasingly familiar, as though he'd seen them before. Cautiously, he asked through a loudspeaker: "Buddy, no, gallant hero, might you be the one known as Sky Shadow of the 12 stars?"
"Don't link me to such frivolous titles. You can leave now."
The leader wanted to ask for his name, intent on expressing gratitude in the future, but looking at his grim expression, he decided against it. He sensibly refrained from further questions, "Men, retreat."
Dozens of people dispersed instantly.
Sky Shadow vanished in an instant, using his Mental Power to easily locate moving units not far from himself. His decisive and overwhelming assaults soon drew high-level attention from the Titan Elf Clan.
What was this situation? Even Kexiao among humans couldn't handle dozens to hundreds so easily. Despite being in space, the combat capabilities of ground-deployed elf warriors would be greatly reduced, yet they weren't something ordinary humans could deal with.
Yet, the person on the Crystal Mirror proved able to single-handedly obliterate Titan Elf soldiers easily. How could the Titan Elf leaders not be moved?
After watching, it was easy to discern that he continuously targeted groups of Titan Elf soldiers as his primary targets. This person was even more threatening than Kexiao, and he must not be left alive!
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh... Through high-speed ground movement, Sky Shadow quickly reached the alien gathering zone. The scale was no less than a few thousand, not something that could be easily dealt with.
Sensing the situation, Sky Shadow furrowed his brow, uttered no words, and instantly increased his combat power to deliver a direct Starburst of Fate.
The destructive power, akin to a nuclear bomb, was far beyond what the Titan Elf warriors could withstand. The scene quickly turned into a vast sea of fire, a living hell...
Ah! This… what was this situation? The Titan Elf Queens were left gape-mouthed and dumbstruck by the scene. Could war be fought this way? Doing things like this certainly wasn't playing fair, now was it?
