Chapter 1042: Chapter 567, Everyone Arrives
In the lower deck area, the tactics of the ethereal entities were rather sinister.
They deliberately spared a batch of Protection Army soldiers, letting them continuously transmit ssages, saying they were holding strong, saying they were about to fail.
Then, the reinforcents continuously sent by the Protection Army were relentlessly added in. They couldn’t even reach the inner sector where the previous position was held, as they would be ambushed and raided by ethereal forces far outnumbering them on the way, and swiftly annihilated.
After destroying a considerable number of Protectorate forces here, almost clearing the surrounding areas, the ethereal entities did not continue with this tactic of besieging to aid reinforcents. Instead, they decisively wiped out the remaining enemies at the original position and then advanced boldly.
The ethereal entities did not forget the order from the Alliance Governor they worshiped.
The aim of striking the enemy’s living forces was to conquer the mission target.
Otherwise, truly wanting to kill all the fifteen million Protection Army troops on board would be extrely difficult.
Gu Hang supporting so many ethereal entities in constant battle also required power consumption, not to ntion in space, during the battle formation between the ships, his Spiritual Energy was still entangled with that Neuron Progeny’s power.
The most crucial thing is, even if Gu Hang did this, wanting to rely solely on ethereal entities to kill all fifteen million Elite Protectorate Army troops on board, it would take an indefinite amount of ti.
It’s simply impossible to kill them all.
It’s still necessary to go to the place where Dubo had imprisoned and was controlling that Neuron Progeny.
Fighting from the lower deck area to there is quite far.
However, after the already scarce defending forces around were cleared by the ethereal entities using the besiege tactic, a considerable distance beca smooth to pass through.
At one point, they even reached a place just fifteen kiloters away in a straight line from Dubo.
Even though they still needed to climb over ten floors upwards and navigate the complicated internal routes of the ship, this nonetheless made Dubo feel sowhat anxious.
He connected with Boreson, who was in charge of the Starship’s internal defense, and scolded him fiercely.
With Boreson scolded into a sorry state, he personally led a team to block the breach.
The previous reinforcent tactic was no longer executed; he initially planned to let these ethereal entities rush further in, simultaneously mobilizing more abundant forces before making a move.
But now, with Dubo’s scolding, he had to block earlier.
The forces were sowhat insufficient, so what to do?
Rely on enough elite troops then.
Being a fully modified Sage himself, need not say much; at the sa ti, he also brought along a combat group solely consisting of the most elite top-level automaton soldiers.
Once he led his team to the scene, the effect was imdiate.
The montum of the ethereal entities’ continued assault was quickly blocked.
They attempted to find other pathways to expand the scope and depth of the battlefield. On a multi-story, ten-kiloter-wide multidinsional battlefield within the ship, due to the ship’s unique terrain, it was divided into small, localized, but interlinked and mutually influencing battlefields.
This brought great pressure to Boreson.
But at the sa ti, it also stimulated the abilities of this Sage.
The computational units in his mind managed the complex situation of the entire battlefield, deploying one unit after another to the most needed places, firmly blocking the ethereal entities’ assault with relatively scarce troops.
And, as ti passed, the issue of insufficient forces was rapidly being alleviated.
After all, the manpower on Alfonso II was still very abundant.
The continuously gathered forces alleviated the force scarcity problem every mont.
Even though those ethereal entities, after occupying the lower deck area, opened larger Subspace rifts, with more ethereal entities erging, the Protection Army still gradually leveled the numbers on the battlefield, even slightly exceeding them.
Here, both sides ford a major battlefield, with the unfolding battle resembling a brutal street fight aid at a small-scale Nest Capital on the surface.
Moreover, it was a street fight where neither side could use heavy weaponry.
In comparison, although so Subspace rifts would open elsewhere in the ship, with other Sages filling gaps and the large reserve forces left behind, they were still able to extinguish any ethereal entities before they could establish a presence in a Subspace rift or open a second battlefield.
Dubo continuously contacted several Sages, while also ‘watching’ scene after scene of the ship’s internal warfare through the information flow input, roughly grasping the overall situation.
For now, things seed relatively stable. Although the entire interior of the Starship appeared to be boiling, with battles erupting everywhere, so far, none of the ship’s critical areas were at risk of being conquered.
At the sa ti, he could also feel that the Spiritual Energy from Gu Hang, which had been contending with him in space, had weakened significantly.
Although this could be Gu Hang pretending, considering he had previously done so, faking dispersal and then conducting a sneak attack.
But this ti, Dubo judged it to be genuine.
Seizing the opportunity while he is weak, he intensified the encirclent of Gu Hang’s Spiritual Energy.
The goal was to exert greater pressure on Gu Hang, not only preventing him from attacking their Starship again but also drawing more of Gu Hang’s focus away, thereby reducing the input of ethereal entities inside the War Ark.
