The violent icy magic spread out, and the sturdy hulls of the warships, forged from the bones of giant star beasts, were instantly frozen upon contact with this icy power. The eerie green bio-energy on their surfaces was frozen solid, and the entire warship instantly transformed into giant ice sculptures floating in space.

"Damn it, activate overload thermal propulsion immediately, melt the ice, and drag the warship out."

The Cuban sheep was angrily giving orders from behind the screen.

However, before its instructions could be relayed, the second layer of traps was triggered.

Inside those frozen ice sculptures of warships, the space began to violently distort and collapse.

A black void, formed purely from dark matter and the laws of space, suddenly opened up without warning at the core of the frost vortex.

Advanced forbidden spell: Annihilation Black Hole.

A pitch-black sphere, only a few hundred meters in diameter, yet exuding an aura of extreme destruction, floats in the starry sky.

The unparalleled, terrifying gravity instantly unleashed a tearing force like a tsunami.

Those frozen, immobilized warships had no chance to resist; they were like withered leaves falling into a whirlpool, hundreds and thousands of them being forcibly pulled in.

As it approached the pitch-black sphere, the tens of thousands of meters long steel-boned warship was twisted and flattened by the terrifying tidal force, and finally turned into cosmic dust in a massive spatial explosion.

"Do not".

The Cuban sheep, witnessing this horrific scene on the screen, let out a mournful cry.

That wasn't the end of it. With the explosion of the black hole, the remaining elemental traps hidden all around completely lost their balance and began to produce a chain reaction.

Chapter 426 Insidious Humans

Countless raging, fiery dragons, stretching tens of thousands of miles, appeared out of thin air and rampaged through the fleet, turning the sturdy armor into molten iron.

The azure hurricane transformed into billions of invisible wind blades capable of slicing through space, mercilessly cutting through everything around it.

Furthermore, massive bolts of purple destructive lightning, as thick as great rivers, raged through the frigid space, turning warships into torches in the cosmos.

The entire pursuit front, stretching 100,000 kilometers, instantly descended into uncontrollable chaos.

"Report the losses, report the losses to me immediately."

The Cuban sheep gripped the control panel, howling hysterically.

After a second of ruthless calculation, the control brain delivered a statistic that terrified all the bone demons present.

[Alert: The first through seventh vanguard columns have completely lost signal. In the recent series of trap encounters, the Empire lost a total of 21432 improved main battleships, and more than 10,000 other warships suffered varying degrees of spatial structural damage and a 35% reduction in power.]

More than 20,000 warships.

More than 20,000 main combat ships were completely evaporated by a bunch of inexplicable traps in less than two minutes, without even touching the enemy's clothes.

On the other end of the holographic projection, the Senate members who had witnessed the disaster firsthand through communication were also in an uproar.

Even the supreme leader of Cuba, sitting in the center, had a faint bluish tinge on his dark gold skull face.

"These damned humans are so insidious."

The Cuban sheep's eyes were bloodshot, and it roared angrily.

"Why? Why are our warships' defensive shields acting as if they don't exist in the face of those attacks? What is the fire control center doing? What is the interception system doing?"

"S-Sir..."

The chief communications officer, his face contorted with grief, reported the news with trembling hands.

"Because just now, in order to keep up with the abnormally high speed of those humans, you ordered all warships to overload their engines to the limit."

"This resulted in almost 90% of the warship's energy being diverted to the propulsion system. To prevent the core from overheating, the fire control brain automatically shut down most of the matrix energy shields, which allowed those humans to take advantage of the situation."

In an attempt to gain speed, the shield was turned off, resulting in a headlong collision with a minefield that had already been laid out by the enemy.

This dramatic scene made the atmosphere in the entire Senate meeting room oppressive.

"Enough, you disgraceful thing."

The Cuban king's voice, filled with absolute authority and rage, suddenly boomed out, interrupting the Cuban sheep's impotent fury.

It stared intently at the Cuban sheep kneeling before it and coldly issued its instructions.

"Cuban Sheep, put away your useless anger. Since you've suffered such losses, stay put and slowly adjust your formation. Order the damaged warships to retreat to the second line. The remaining intact warships, bypass that damned energy residue area and continue the pursuit."

The King of Cuba raised his head and looked at the boundless starry sky, his tone exuding an undeniable domineering aura.

"You don't need to send your people to fight them to the death. The Empire's more powerful forces will naturally intercept them on the necessary shipping lanes ahead."

Upon hearing this, the Cuban sheep felt as if it had been granted a pardon and hurriedly banged its head heavily on the deck.

"Understood, Your Excellency. Thank you for your mercy, Your Excellency. I will reorganize the fleet and vow to complete the tracking mission to the death."

The communication was abruptly cut off at that moment.

Inside the Senate chamber, the holographic projection dissipated.

More than a dozen core elders of the Bone Demon Civilization regrouped, each with a solemn expression.

"Leader, what is our specific strategy for dealing with this next step?"

An elder in charge of military deployment asked anxiously.

"The route that group of humans is advancing has been calculated with the most precise precision by the AI. They are now completely abandoning all logistics and positions, charging straight towards our empire's home planet in a suicidal manner."

"If they cannot be completely crushed along the way, the dignity of the empire and its core ruling class will suffer an irreparable blow."

The King of Cuba slowly sat back on his supreme throne.

“There is no other shortcut. Since ordinary interstellar warships and numerical superiority are ineffective against their indestructible bodies, then immediately issue my supreme decree to mobilize a large army to set up an absolute deadlock defense line on their inevitable route and trap them in the void with absolute power.”

Upon hearing this, another elder in charge of internal affairs and coordination rubbed his forehead with a headache and sighed.

"Leader, mobilizing a large army is no easy task. You should know very well that due to our previous plan for territorial expansion, more than 70% of the Empire's elite expeditionary forces are currently engaged in territorial expansion in unknown alien regions. They cannot be recalled in the short term."

It pointed to the imperial star map in front of it and continued.

"Currently, the only ones that remain within the territory and can be mobilized at any time are the three main combat corps responsible for homeland defense."

"Although the four border defense armies responsible for border security are spread out in four directions, due to the great distance, the only one that can arrive in time and block their path of advance is the Northern Border Defense Army stationed in the north."

"But can Cubato, the corps commander of the Northern Expeditionary Force, really stop these monsters all by himself?"

Upon hearing this, the Cuban king's dark golden frame trembled slightly.

It was well aware of the Northern Defense Force's strength. Although it had stationed a large number of warships, facing four thousand physical gods who could ignore the main guns firing in unison, even if more planetary-level forces were deployed, it would probably only delay the inevitable.

The bizarre strength displayed by this group of humans is simply too much.

This is a situation that cannot be resolved by sheer numbers or by ordinary planetary-level armies.

Thinking of this, a cruel glint flashed in the Cuban king's dark eyes.

"Since planetary-level units are useless, quantity is just a joke in their eyes."

The Cuban king's voice echoed in the conference room, carrying a chilling quality.

"Then, why not just have a stellar-level being take action personally?"

Upon hearing this, the Senate meeting room, which had been somewhat noisy and filled with anxiety, fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, all the Bone Demon Elders' eyes simultaneously blazed with wild joy.

"Stellar level? The leader is brilliant."

"That's great. If it were a supreme powerhouse at the stellar level who made the move, those despicable humans would be instantly killed even if they possessed indestructible bodies."

"That's right. What a stellar level master possesses is the ultimate power that can truly destroy a galaxy. Under the suppression of the absolute laws of a stellar level, no matter how strange a planetary-level ant is, it can only be annihilated."

Chapter 427 Stalling

Listening to his subordinates' celebratory shouts and cheers, the Cuban king, sitting on his supreme throne, felt little less anxious.

It gazed silently at the four thousand red dots of the human race still charging wildly on the big screen, and thought to itself deep in its soul.

"I hope so, these damned humans..."

Meanwhile, on the only route between the players and the next star system, a massive and impenetrable defensive line has been completely set up.

The supreme commander of the Bone Demon Civilization's Northern Expeditionary Force, Guba Tuo, was standing in the control hall of his super flagship at this moment.

His face was more somber than anyone else's.

Looking out the window at the boundless void, one sees a steel scroll that could drive any civilization to despair.

A total of 700,000 Bone Demon main warships.

These 700,000 spaceships are arranged in a densely packed honeycomb matrix formation along a long void defense line spanning light-years.

All the energy shields on the warship that could be activated were operating at overload, and the shield light connected to form an incredibly thick, gigantic energy barrier, locking the entire passage to the next star system.

"All warships, listen up! Fire control systems are activated at full power. All main guns, secondary guns, and missile bays are in maximum charging state."

Cuban leader Ba Tuo issued a death order through the entire army's communication channel.

"As soon as we calculate the moment those humans leave the passage, without any probing, the entire army will immediately launch a full-scale, indiscriminate barrage of fire. We absolutely cannot give them even the slightest chance to catch their breath."

After issuing orders to the fleet, Cuban leader Gu Tuo did not feel relieved.

It turned its head and looked at the huge figures standing densely packed on one side of the hall.

"All planetary warriors of the Empire stationed in the Northern Defense Zone, the time has come to show your loyalty to the leader."

Cuban Tuo shouted in a deep voice.

At its command, massive airlock doors roared open on the sides of the flagships.

Countless powerful bone demons, radiating strong soul fluctuations, flew out of the warship, stepping through the void.

They wore specially made armor and held various heavy cold weapons.

This is the strongest individual force that Cuba was able to gather in a short period of time: a total of 1,500 top-tier Bone Demon warriors who have reached the peak of the Planetary level, and more than 7,000 Bone Demon elites at the Planetary level.

Nearly ten thousand planetary-level alien powerhouses stood at the forefront of the warship formation, squeezing their bio-energy to the limit to form a mental barrier that spanned the starry sky.

Cuba stared intently at the massive force, a resolute glint in his eyes.

It was perfectly clear that if these humans, who could ignore long-range main guns, were allowed to easily approach the fleet and unleash their almost rogue close-range, large-scale destruction, then these 700,000 cumbersome warships, slowed down in pursuit of firepower, would instantly turn into scrap metal in space.

Therefore, we must rely on these high-end combat forces to form a defensive line to stop them from the outside and absolutely prevent them from getting within 10,000 kilometers of the warship.
