Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　More than 15 million alien snipers were reduced to ashes under the attack of these two devastating weapons, while the same number of alien snipers suffered varying degrees of damage.

　It is worth mentioning that the casualty figures listed here only include those alien guards who were still able to maintain their charging speed and keep up with the charging column.

　There were also a nearly equal number of alien guards, whose injuries were so severe that their movement speed was greatly affected. They were forced to stay behind the main force of the legion and could only continue to move forward at a relatively slow pace.

　However, even after suffering such heavy casualties, the alien guards never wavered or retreated in the slightest.

　Under Vita's command, the elite warriors known as the "Alien Guardians: Filler" among the remaining 30 million-plus alien guards activated their precious short-range teleportation ability.

　This is an extraordinary ability that can only be used once in a short period of time, but it is enough to allow these elite alien guards, whose strength is comparable to that of master-level superhumans, to instantly traverse vast spatial distances and appear directly in the core of the Death Fleet's spherical artillery formation.

　Faced with the warp-in attack launched by millions of [Alien Guardians - Filling Gaps], the [Commander's] computing core remained completely undisturbed.

　The database accessible to this tactical command AI already contains in-depth analysis and accurate predictions of the supernatural abilities that this elite alien guard might possess.

　Combining his precious memories as a captain in his previous life, it is not difficult for Moros to reconstruct and speculate on the various strange abilities that the alien guards under So might possess.

　With the database

　With detailed analysis and scientific speculation as support, the commander was certainly well prepared for the situation at hand.

　Now is the time to put these meticulously planned battle strategies into practice.

　Under the command of the [Commander], the flying undead swarm led by Thousand Souls immediately rushed towards the [Alien Guardian - Filler] who were struggling to recover from the brief discomfort caused by the short-distance jump.

Chapter 895 Hurting Each Other

　Faced with the surging swarm of flying undead, those [Alien Guardian - Filler] who had used their short-range warp abilities to break into the spherical artillery formation of the death fleet naturally would not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

　Those [Alien Guardians - Filling the Gap] who were the first to recover from the brief discomfort caused by the short-distance jump raised their crystal weapons, which resembled both staffs and lances, and summoned bursts of dazzling stardust meteors, which slammed violently into the attacking flying undead.

　【Star Rain】!

　However, despite the overwhelming bombardment of stardust and meteorites, the flight trajectory of the flying undead swarm remained completely unchanged.

　This was certainly not because the tactical command AI that was directing these flying undead—the "Commander"—intentionally made them withstand this wave of attacks, but because it firmly believed that these stardust meteors could not pose a real threat to the flying undead swarm.

　The unfolding events undoubtedly validated the results derived from its core computational mechanism.

　Upon receiving the [Commander's] orders, the ghost dragons in the flying undead horde opened their ferocious and terrifying dragon mouths.

　The next moment, fan-shaped streams of deathly dragon breath swiftly and precisely covered all the incoming stardust and meteorites, swallowing them one by one into the torrent of deathly magic.

　Taking advantage of the moment when the ghost dragons were fully engaged in intercepting the stardust meteorites, the vengeful spirits and vampire counts rushed toward the increasing number of [Alien Guardian - Filler] who were recovering from their illness at an astonishing speed.

　At the same time, the hundreds of Thousand Soul Leaders, whose strength was comparable to that of legendary-level transcendents, launched a powerful [Soul Impact] against the alien guards who were releasing stardust and meteorites.

　Indeed, as biological weapons meticulously created by So, all types of alien guardians possess immunity to the [aura of fear].

　But since they are biological weapons, these [Alien Guardians - Fillers] who have stormed into the Death Fleet naturally also possess souls.

　In fact, precisely because they are standard biological weapons, the souls of these alien guardians are particularly vulnerable.

　With just one round of [Soul Impact], thousands of [Alien Guardian - Filler] who were releasing stardust meteorites fell on the battlefield.

　This is also due to the fact that the current battlefield is in the Quantum Sea, and the alien guardians who have completed the jump attack are relatively far apart.

　Otherwise, the results achieved in this round of [Soul Impact] would have been even more astonishing.

　However, even though the attacks of the Thousand Souls Leaders were remarkably effective, compared to the millions of [Alien Guardian - Filler] units that had broken into the Death Fleet formation, the loss of just over a thousand units was nothing more than a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

　As the Thousand Souls Leaders' attack yielded results, the remaining [Alien Guardians - Fillers] also fully recovered from the brief discomfort caused by the short-distance jump.

　They then immediately demonstrated the value of the enormous energy that So had poured into creating them.

　[Starfall]!

　Faced with millions of stardust meteorites summoned by millions of [Alien Guardians - Filling Gaps], even the Ghost Dragons, despite their best efforts, were unable to intercept them one by one.

　The powerful energy contained in these stardust meteorites means utter destruction for most flying undead if they come into contact with them.

　Let alone the Wraith, a level three undead unit, and the Vampire Count, a level four undead unit, even the Ghost Dragon, a level seven undead unit with strength equivalent to a high-level superhuman, would suffer considerable damage after being hit by a Stardust Meteor.

　This is because these flying undead have the 169-point [Defense] attribute bonus from the necromancer.

　Otherwise, even a single meteorite would be enough to severely damage this behemoth with a wingspan of nearly two hundred meters.

　However, those Thousand Soul Leaders with legendary strength were able to maintain a calm and composed demeanor when faced with such an attack, dealing with it with ease.

　Getting back to the main point, faced with this unprecedented and fierce offensive, the tactical command AI—the [Commander]—conducted countless precise simulations and in-depth deductions at the fastest speed, and finally made a crucial strategic decision.

　It was clear that although the Ghost Dragon and the Thousand Souls both possessed considerable power, even they would find it difficult to withstand such a dense and powerful shower of stardust and meteorites for an extended period without sustaining damage.

　Therefore, the commander decisively and resolutely issued a new order.

　This tactical command AI quickly adjusted the formation of the relatively inexpensive wraiths and vampire counts, blocking their path.

　In front of Ghost Dragon and Thousand Soul Head.

　Its tactical intent is clear and explicit: to use these low- to mid-tier undead units to forge an unbreakable wall of flesh and blood, absorbing and resisting the impending devastating damage from the more powerful flying undead behind them.

　As soon as the [Commander]'s order was given, the vengeful spirits and vampire counts carried it out without any hesitation or delay.

　They faced the overwhelming onslaught of stardust and meteorites in an almost suicidal manner.

　With each falling stardust meteorite, a mournful and desperate wail of the dead echoed.

　Even so, they steadfastly held their ground, using their flesh and blood to build an unbreakable defensive line for the Ghost Dragon and Thousand Soul Head behind them.

　Thanks to the ruthless yet highly efficient command of the [Commander], and the sacrifice of the vengeful spirits and vampire counts, this round of stardust meteor shower ultimately failed to inflict even the slightest damage on the Ghost Dragon and the Thousand Souls.

　As the undisputed damage output core of the flying undead swarm, the unscathed state of Ghost Dragon and Thousand Soul Head means that the overall output capability of the flying undead swarm has been almost unaffected, and it still maintains its powerful combat strength.

　Therefore, while this round of stardust and meteorite rain was frantically bombarding the flesh and blood barrier forged by the vengeful spirits and vampire counts, the death dragon breath from the Ghost Dragon and the soul impact from the Thousand Soul Head once again struck the [Alien Guardian - Filler] who were wantonly releasing stardust and meteorites.

　Because this round of attacks incorporated the death breath of nearly a million ghost dragons, the effectiveness of this offensive far exceeded that of the previous attacks launched by only a few hundred Thousand Soul Leaders alone.

　This single attack resulted in the loss of nearly 50,000 units of [Alien Guardian - Fill the Gap].

　However, the meteor shower from the alien guardians showed no signs of stopping; it continued to pour down like a torrential downpour, ravaging everything it touched.

　Thus, in the tens of minutes that [Alien Guardian - Fill the Gap] broke into the Death Fleet's impenetrable spherical artillery formation, the two sides engaged in a fierce and brutal battle, exchanging blows and refusing to yield, inflicting incalculable losses on each side, with the number of casualties reaching hundreds of thousands.

Chapter 896 Tactical Choices and Close Combat

　For the tactical command AI that directs the death fleet and flying undead swarms—the Commander—the current situation where the flying undead swarms and [Alien Guardian: Filler] are mutually damaging is still within its acceptable range.

　Admittedly, the flying undead forces did pay a heavy price in their battles against these red and white bio-weapons that resembled messengers of hell.

　In just a few tens of minutes, the casualty figures for the vengeful spirits and the vampire counts had already exceeded one million.

　But these flying undead, through astonishing sacrifice, perfectly completed the task they were given—

　Tightly engage those [Alien Guardian - Filler] units that break into the spherical artillery formation of the Death Fleet, buying the fleet precious time to regroup.

　Maintain the current situation!

　While flexibly adjusting the positions of the vengeful spirits and the vampire count to quickly fill the gaps in the flesh wall caused by the meteor shower, the [Commander] precisely directed the firepower of the death fleet, attempting to inflict maximum damage and weaken the alien guard army before its main force could break into the fleet formation.

　The fleet fires in unison!

　As the order was given, the interstellar warships, which were essentially powered by the "Undead Engine," finally broke their silence. Their long-accumulated firepower erupted like a volcanic eruption, aimed directly at the main force of the alien guard army led by Vita.

　In fact, this was the real reason why the Death Fleet remained silent during the previous fierce battle between the flying undead and [Alien Guardian - Fill the Gap].

　Compared to these nearby [Alien Guardian: Filling the Gap], whose strength is comparable to that of a master-level superhuman, the Death Fleet's firepower undoubtedly needs to be concentrated on the main force of Vita's alien guard army, which numbers over thirty million—[Alien Guardian: Entanglement] and [Alien Guardian: Preservation].

　Although the individual strength of these units is slightly inferior to that of [Alien Guardian - Fill the Gap], their sheer number is enough to form a terrifying force capable of crushing everything.

　If they are allowed to charge into the Death Fleet's artillery formation, the pressure and threat they create will far exceed that of a mere million or so [Alien Guardian - Fill the Gaps].

　Unfortunately, because Vita's mental domain, constructed with [Self-Concentration], still existed, this meticulously planned fleet salvo, despite its astonishing power, only caused casualties of a few hundred thousand enemy units.

　Compared to the terrifying number of over thirty million in the main force of the alien guards, such losses are completely insignificant.

　The fleet is expected to enter full-scale melee within fifteen minutes...

　Upon receiving the analysis results from the shipborne supercomputer, the Commander's thought processing module instantly activated an overload operation mode.

　Amidst this surging torrent of information, the internal temperature of this tactical command AI rose sharply.

　But it is precisely in such extreme environments that its unprecedented computing and analytical capabilities have been unleashed.

　Amidst an endless interplay of data and possibilities, the [Commander] finally arrived at the ultimate conclusion.

　The conclusion.

　Command: Immediately open a remote portal to assist the Death Dragon in its defense!

　As an artificial intelligence, the Commander never dwells on past successes or failures, nor does it feel regret or hesitation due to temporary tactical setbacks.

　In its logical world, only by constantly adapting to changes on the battlefield and flexibly adjusting strategies can the troops be led to final victory.

　Since the existing tactical layout can no longer meet the current needs, the commander will not hesitate to turn to a new tactical direction.

　Just like now, with the chaotic battle already a foregone conclusion, this tactical command AI naturally demonstrated its adaptability.

　As the commander's calm and resolute order echoed through the fleet's communication network, a magnificent remote portal suddenly opened at the rear of the fleet.

　The next moment, five death dragons, each the size of a Charon-class light frigate, burst out from the eerie blue remote portal.

　The enormous skeletal dragon head, shrouded in dark mist, swayed from side to side. The five magically summoned creatures, comparable to demigods, flapped their tattered dragon wings and flew towards the rear of the fleet at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of physics.

　It is worth mentioning that the primary task assigned to the [Commander] by the necromancer is not to achieve final victory in this legion battle, but to delay as much time as possible.

　Therefore, in the calculation and analysis of this tactical command AI, how to maximize the duration of the legion battle battlefield naturally became its primary consideration.

　Under this strategic guidance, the Commander demonstrated its ruthlessness and decisiveness as an artificial intelligence.

　If sacrificing some of the fleet's ships could buy more precious time, it would not hesitate for a moment.

　After all, in the logical world of artificial intelligence, the definition of victory is far more than simply winning or losing on the battlefield; it is whether or not a predetermined goal can be achieved efficiently and accurately.

　Now, within the Commander's tactical judgment module, a clear strategy has taken shape—

　The five Death Dragons were deployed at the rear of the fleet as a hidden trump card, waiting for Vita to appear before launching a fatal blow, thus buying as much time as possible.

　Since such a layout can maximize the fulfillment of strategic needs, the commander will naturally not hesitate to take such measures.

　Even though it knew that such a decision would subject the Death Fleet to immense pressure and casualties for a period of time, and might even present unprecedented challenges, it was all worthwhile in order to achieve the ultimate goal of this campaign.

　"Oh dear, it seems something interesting has happened."

　Sensing the fleeting magical fluctuations, a meaningful smile bloomed on Vita's charming face.

　After flawlessly deflecting yet another volley from the Death Fleet, a thought flashed through her mind, and she cleverly shifted the focus of her mental domain, granting her troops an extreme speed boost.

　With the added support of the rules, the alien guards' already physical speed surged even further.

　In less than half the time originally estimated by the [Commander], the alien guards at the forefront brought the Charon-class light frigates at the very front of the Death Fleet's spherical artillery formation into their attack range.

　It's important to know that both [Alien Guardian - Misunderstanding] and [Alien Guardian - Preservation] are purely melee-based units.

　Their effective attack range is measured in meters.

　Imagine what the battle would be like if these biological weapons were to pull the warships into their attack range.

　【Jurnal】!

　[Hurricane strikes!]

　[A fleeting glimpse in the wind!]

　……

　[Sprint!]

　[Spinning]!

　[Rushing!]

　……

　Under the onslaught of the massive alien guards, the Honkai energy shields of several Charon-class light corvettes quickly overloaded and shut down.

　Without the protection of the Honkai energy shield, these warships were quickly and completely swallowed up by the alien guard's tide.

Chapter 897 The Fierce Battle

　With their terrifying power, which was only a step away from the realm of gods, Moros and Sona could not ignore the changing tides of the battle millions of kilometers away, even though they were deeply embroiled in a life-or-death struggle with their opponents.

　Especially when [Alien Guardian - Entanglement] and [Alien Guardian - Preservation], like two sharp blades, suddenly cut into the Death Fleet's spherical artillery formation, sinking several Charon-class light frigates in succession.

　The suddenly rising fireball, after engulfing every alien guard it touched, also served as a soul-shaking signal, conveying an urgent message to the necromancer millions of kilometers away—

　The time that the death fleet and the flying undead horde could buy them was running out.

　As the master of the Death Fleet and the Flying Undead Swarm, Moros has a profound and clear understanding of the limits of these two forces under his command.
