The Ark of the Fallen stopped the firefight, and millions of pyramid ships turned into leaping streamers, far away from the Lighthouse Star battlefield, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As the alien god ran away with his troops, the battle situation suddenly changed.

Without strong foreign support, the number of warships on the Illusory Spirit Sect side was nearly halved, and at this time, the Lighthouse Star defenders had recovered all the peripheral fleets and shrunk the defensive line, and the fleet size of the two sides was already evenly matched, and the Illusory Spirit Sect could no longer maintain its suppressive power.

"Damn......" Sagman gritted his teeth and watched this scene, but his heart was full of powerlessness, and he was in no mood to accuse the alien god of betraying the alliance.

He knew that although the two sides cooperated, the high-level of the Ethereal Spirit Sect did not have much hope for the alien gods, and it was precisely because the high-level leaders were full of reverse confidence in the discipline of the alien gods, so they would gather six super A-level people with the scepter of the gods to launch a surprise attack, intending to settle the battle before the alien gods entered.

In fact, according to the calculations of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, the success rate of Sagman and the others is really high, and the six to three take the initiative, as long as the Pantheon Scepter is used to make Milizaus lose his combat effectiveness, the plan will be eighty percent successful, and it is not impossible to capture three Imperial Super A-level alive.

However, what I didn't expect was that Han Xiao's back hand for the sake of insurance took effect, and Austin, a foreign aid who was secretly observing, intervened in the turmoil, making the three-on-six situation become four-on-six.

Although it was only one more person, it greatly reduced the combat power of the six members of the Ethereal Spirit Sect.

What's more, the Great Killing Weapon of the Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods was actually restrained by Black Star with strange means, and it was even sealed!

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid we'd have captured the Black Star by now, grabbed the Evolution Cube, and evacuated with the fleet...... The thought flashed through the minds of the five Sagemans, and they became more and more annoyed.

Observing the current unfavorable situation, Sugman only felt that his brain hurt terribly.

If it was simply a retreat of the alien gods, the six of them would actually have a chance to complete the task.

Because the participation of the alien gods in the war was not useless before, after fighting for so long, Milizaus was more seriously injured, his combat power dropped significantly, Austin's temple of arcane magic was damaged to a certain extent, many magic circuits failed, resulting in a large number of magic circles failing, Beoni is also in poor condition, only one black star is still standing...... But his mechanical legion also suffered heavy losses.

And the six of them are in good shape, at least their combat power is more intact than Han Xiao's four, and if they continue to fight, the chances of winning are still very high.

However, Di Lun was captured by Black Star, and this accident made Sagman's calculation directly fail.

In this battle, Blackstar showed new abilities that he didn't have in intelligence, and Sagman had to admit that he did have a fear of Blackstar, and he didn't know what hole cards this guy was hiding.

"What now?" Niga frowned and asked in the telekinesis network.

Sagman's gaze swept over the vast interstellar battlefield, taking in the fleet's firefight, only to see that the fleet of the Ethereal Sect had turned from a layer of advance to a stalemate, unable to break through the Imperial fleet's defenses and attack the stargate they were assembling.

He grimaced, and his tone was as if chewing steel, spitting out bloody iron slag, "...... Inform the commander that we retreat! ”

"You're going to abandon Dillon?" Sisko has a bad eye.

"Sugman is right." Niga nodded, "Di Lun was captured, the alien gods were evacuated, and it became five to four, the other party still held hostages in his hands, and the plan for a quick solution has failed, and there are only two ways left in front of us, one is to continue to entangle, and the other is to evacuate decisively."

The other party's state is not good, continue to entangle, there is no doubt that we can definitely win, but time is a problem, we have lost two combat power, it is difficult to solve the battle in the short term, don't forget, the shining world is the territory of the empire, we have no foundation here, only the secret star gate has a way out, the longer the struggle, the greater the risk. ”

Tylerdy also interjected: "And the alien god wants to use us to break the queen, and he can't let him succeed." ”

"Nadilon ......"

"The risk of saving him is too great, it is likely to stimulate Black Star to kill, so he can only be left behind, at least he can save his life, and he can only rely on the Ethereal Spirit Sect and the Red Empire to negotiate afterwards." Nica shook his head, even if the empire was willing to exchange hostages, the Ethereal Spirit Sect would definitely bleed heavily, and the empire might not be willing to hand over people.

The good friend was pinched in the hands of the Black Star, and he didn't know how he would be treated by the Empire, but he couldn't do anything about it, and Sisko was in an extremely bad mood.

"While the Empire is still erecting a stargate, we will retreat." Sagman paused, his tone complicated, "Inform the higher-ups, this operation ...... Failed. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood was low.

Six to four, no one has caught one yet, this face is a big shame!

The original action was unexpectedly unsuccessful, and the Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods was also heavy, what would the higher-ups of the Ethereal Spirit Sect think of them?

Almost every step to turn the situation around was made by Han Xiao, and if his gaze could poke people to death, Sagman and the others would have already stabbed him to the ground.

Although they don't want to admit it, they know that they were forced back by the Black Star!

Sisko glanced at the seriously injured Dilon from a distance, his eyes full of apologies.

Seeing his eyes, Di Lun knew that he had been abandoned, and his heart ached, this feeling of being treated as an outcast was uncomfortable, and thinking of the treatment after he became a captive, his heart kept sinking.

The effect of super silence has passed, and Di Lun's ability has been restored, but the round of attacks with real damage just now all fell on his body, losing the continuous defensive barrier of the alien energy, his body was not fleshy enough, and he was directly hit hard, and his combat power plummeted, if it wasn't for Han Xiao wanting to catch him alive, he felt that he would even be killed, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

At this time, Han Xiao was close at hand, and the arm around Di Lun's neck contained explosive power, Di Lun was not a martial artist, although his physical fitness far exceeded the natural disaster level, but it was not enough to see at the super A level, coupled with various mechanical traps, Di Lun couldn't break free at all, and the mechanical troops were aiming at him, and rashly resisting was joking with his own life and Black Star.

The five of Sagman retreated to the fleet of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, entered the spaceship one after another, and followed the Ethereal Spirit Sect fleet to begin to withdraw, and the retreat was orderly and did not show any flaws.

Relying on superior mobility, the fleet of the Ethereal Sect gradually broke away from the entanglement and slowly distanced itself from the Imperial fleet.

The three Milizaus came to Blackstar, and Beoni felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life:

"It's a good thing you caught one of the enemy's super A-ranks, otherwise they wouldn't have retreated so easily...... This guy is the 'Sea Spirit' Di Lun of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, his combat effectiveness is not bad, and he was caught by you all at once, what means did you use against him? ”

Han Xiao glanced at Beoni strangely, "Believe me, you're no stranger to this trick at all. ”

When he cooperated with the alien gods in the Central Star Sea, Beoni was hit by a genuine "Super Silence", and his memory was still fresh, but he would not have thought that Han Xiao also used this ability.

Super Silence is the nemesis of the Alien Ability, I am afraid that there are few Alien Beings in the whole universe who can win the Alien God alone, and the Alien God Character Card in Han Xiao's hand has a total of two opportunities to use it.

It was used to deal with Di Lun once, and next time, Han Xiao planned to leave it to the other god himself.

Before the start of the war, he drew two blank character cards for random rewards, but he didn't use them on Xeno, after all, Xenos collected too many abilities, and the possibility of drawing Super Silence a second time was too slim, and it was useless to draw some messy abilities, and he had to keep them to replicate Renard's perfect sense of mechanic.

On the other side, Milizaus watched Sagman and the others retreat, and asked in a deep voice, "Sagman, they ran away, are we chasing?" ”

"Don't count me in pursuit." Austin gathered his robe and said lightly: "Black Star, the favor I owe you has been repaid, and now you owe me a big favor." ”

"Yes." Han Xiao was helpless, to be honest, if it weren't for Austin's discipline and fulfillment of his promise this time, there would definitely be dead people on the Empire's side.

Austin nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at the forbidden witch troops who had suffered heavy losses, and there was a hint of heartache in his eyes, these people were his elite, and it was very difficult to cultivate.

As for the seriously damaged Hall of Secret Arts, Austin didn't feel distressed at all, just spend some time repairing it, and he didn't care about the material cost...... As a noble master who has escaped from low-level interests, making money is as simple as breathing.

Austin was not an Imperial ally, and he was not good at asking for others, so Milizaus immediately looked at Beoni, "What about you?" ”

"Don't look for me for any adventures." Beoni directly refused.

Just kidding, he finally got through this crisis, the enemy has retreated, he doesn't want to be in danger anymore, how good it is to stay here and wait for reinforcements.

"You're really cowardly." Milizaus was disdainful.

"I'm the most brittle, I'm afraid of death, it's okay." Beoni snorted and turned his head to look at Han Xiao, "Do you want to pursue?" ”

"What do you say?" The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, Austin and you are not going, then I will still chase a fart, do you think I will not die.

"You're not going to ......," Milizaus said suddenly, and his tone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

The three of them looked at him in unison.

"Look, when you see that there is no hole in my chest, even if I am the most seriously injured, do you still want to force me to chase after me and be beaten? Is it okay to be considerate of the elderly dragon? ”

Han Xiao was speechless.

If you don't go yourself, then you ask a fart......

But it's true, except for him who is in good spirits, the other three are not in good shape, and the risk of pursuing is too great, no wonder they are unwilling.

At this time, Tarrokov also contacted several people, and his tone was shocked.

"Black Star, have you captured a super A-class of the Ethereal Spirit Sect?"

"As you can see." Han Xiao turned his head to look in the direction where the main ship was located, and casually crossed Di Lun's head, which was wet and slippery, but quite round.

"Excellent! You've made the Ethereal Sect pay the price, so we'll have the chips in our hands! ”

Tarrokov's tone was excited, paused, and became serious again, "The Ethereal Spirit Sect is evacuating, I will send troops to track it, you stay here with the large army and stand by, don't act to pursue the enemy without permission." ”

"Don't worry, even if you ask us, we won't go." Han Xiao was helpless.

"That's for the best." Tarrokov nodded.

Defused the surprise attack of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, not only did he not lose his own high-level combat power, but even Black Star also caught the enemy's super A-level and made a great achievement, and the results were amazing.

Tarrokov didn't want a few people to chase after him, so the stargate was assembled near the lighthouse star, which needed to be calibrated for spatial coordinates and couldn't be used while being moved. If the Ethereal Spirit Sect flicks a shot, and suddenly counterattacks after leaving the range of the Lighthouse Star, it will lure the enemy deeper, but it will only increase the risk, and it may bury the advantage that Black Star has fought so hard for.

Tarrokov is not in a hurry to pursue the Ethereal Sect to expand his gains, and as a veteran, he likes to play steady.

Therefore, he only planned to send scout troops to track down the Ethereal Spirit Sect and lock the other party's escape route, as for Black Star and the others, they would stay in the Lighthouse Star honestly, waiting for reinforcements to come, which was the safest and would not give the enemy any chance.

Following the Ark of the Fallen, the fleet of the Ethereal Sect also broke away from the battlefield and disappeared from view as a streamer.

Tarrokov sent a small force to follow up, and the rest of the large force guarded the engineering troops, assembling the stargate step by step.

The enemy retreated, and the battle was finally extinguished, Han Xiao and the others were relieved, and flew to their respective warships one after another to count the losses of their respective troops.

At the same time, Tarrokov contacted the upper echelons of the empire to report on the results of the battle.

……

The central sea of stars, the home planet of the empire.

Ever since the news of the raid by the Ethereal Sect on Beacon Star came back, it has caused a sensation in the upper echelons of the Imperial military.

Ulanriel directly summoned all the military generals in the conference room, and those who were not present participated in the meeting with remote projection, and everyone gathered together and was excited.

Tarrokov's first report on the battlefield showed that they were facing the flanking attack of seven super A-class and the Sect of Ethereals and the Ark of the Fallen, and the disparity in combat power was too great, and the situation was extremely critical.

The military high-level in the room had already analyzed the battle situation, including Ulanryl, most of them thought that the lighthouse star was not saved, and eighty percent would be wiped out by the Ethereal Spirit Sect, and the three imperial super A-level were either killed or captured alive by the enemy.

At this time, everyone was discussing how the empire should react to this matter.

"Your Excellency is right, the Ethereal Cult and the Radiant Federation have teamed up to attack our army, killing Marshal Tarrokov and three super A-class fighters, and we must retaliate with an iron fist."

Many high-ranking military officials have spoken out in agreement, Tarrokov is very prestigious in the military, and this time he is likely to die, and many old comrades-in-arms have flames of revenge in their hearts, and anger is raging.

Ulanriel also nodded expressionlessly.

As soon as he got the news, Ulanriel decided to retaliate against the Ethereal Sect.

The dignity of the empire has been provoked and the losses have been heavy, and the situation must not be calmed, otherwise the prestige of the empire will be discredited and the allies will be alienated.

Most of the Imperial soldiers were hardliners, and those who favored retaliation made up the majority.

But even a powerful civilization like the Empire, with its iron-blooded tradition, has different voices. There were still a small number of people present who did not agree with the excessive retaliatory strike, they were not against the counterattack, but believed that the empire's forces were contained by the shining world, and the counterattack should not be too intense, if it really provoked a cosmic-level war, it would make the empire's situation even more disadvantageous.

While everyone was arguing and arguing, a new remote projection suddenly appeared in the conference room, and it was Tarrokov.

The military high-ranking people present immediately stopped talking, and their eyes were focused on him.

"Your Excellency, the Lighthouse Star has been defended, the Ethereal Cult and the Ark of the Fallen have been repulsed by our side, the battle is over, the battle damage is being counted, and Milizaus, Beoni, and Blackstar are all safe and sound." Tarrokov bowed his head to everyone present.

Hearing this, all the military high-ranking officials present were slightly surprised.

"You repelled all the enemies?" Ulanriel raised his eyebrows, and a faint surprise flashed in his eyes, "Tell me the details." ”

Tarrokov nodded, and recounted the battle process succinctly and clearly, without any added fuel and vinegar.

While listening, everyone's faces changed several times, and they all noticed the great achievements of Black Star in this battle, and secretly arranged for foreign aid Austin, resisted the Scepter of the Gods, and captured Di Lun...... The methods of the Ethereal Spirit Sect were almost completely dissolved by the Black Star.

It can be said that if it weren't for the Black Star doing these things, the three super A-level of the empire probably wouldn't have survived, and the enemy would really have succeeded.

Many of the imperial military leaders glanced at each other and were deeply impressed by Han Xiao.

Such a desperate situation could turn him around, and this new Empire ally ...... It seems to be a bit fierce.

Ulan Ruier squinted, this battle was led by Black Star, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, it was obviously not cost-effective to lose two Imperial Super A level for Black Star alone.

However, the record taken by Black Star left her speechless, and even caught one of her opponent's super A-level in turn, giving the empire a chip in her hand.

This result was impossible to find fault with, dispelled the mustard in her heart, and couldn't help but feel admiration for Han Xiao.

However, Ulanriel would not show it on her face, she did not change her face and nodded slowly.

"Command me to mobilize all the fleets of the Empire in the shining world and hunt down the enemy...... There are also troops of the Broken Star Ring, and if necessary, they can directly attack the Ethereal Spirit Sect's stronghold in the Star Gate of the Broken Star Ring, and strive to eat them before this force returns to the central star sea. ”

"And ......," Ulanriel paused, "and I'll have Blackstar talk to me directly." ”

meanwhile

The upper echelons of the Ethereal Sect also received the battle report from the fleet......
