Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 770: A Motley Army

Ten million Pegasus Civilization warships left their garrison and began heading through the void toward the battlefield of those two Level 6 peak civilizations. These ten million warships were the Pegasus Civilization’s entire military strength. If they had tilted their focus a bit more toward building armaments, the Pegasus Civilization would have had even more warships, but they had not done so before.

These warriors understood very clearly what this journey meant. Though they were also a Level 6 civilization, the technological content of their warships was far inferior to that of the Sweepers Civilization. Stories that circulated between civilizations, such as ‘a single Level 6 civilization warship can restrain several million low-level civilization warships,’ told them that even if the enemy had only tens of thousands of warships, even if they had ten million warships, they still might not be the enemy’s match.

This trip might mean death. It might mean the Pegasus Civilization’s military system being completely destroyed. It might mean the battlefield spreading to their garrison, causing massive civilian casualties, severe damage to their industrial system, and the Pegasus Civilization’s thousands of years of accumulated development being ruined in one stroke. Yet they still set out with burning passion, for only one purpose, to fulfill a promise their civilization had once made.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was at the most tightly stretched point mentally. The battle situation had undoubtedly developed to the final stage. The ultimate victory or defeat might be decided the next day, or it might be decided in the next hour. But no matter when the result appeared, Xiao Yu knew that the final outcome would certainly be his death. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Yu now had only fewer than one thousand warships left, while the Sweepers Civilization still had at least thirty thousand warships and five spherical warships. From the beginning of the war until now, aside from the Sphere of Death eruption that destroyed nine Sweepers Civilization spherical warships, Xiao Yu had never been able to destroy even a single spherical warship using conventional combat power.

But Xiao Yu still had not given up. The Asia spaceship had been wounded in many places. There were even several holes with diameters reaching several kilometers on the hull of the Asia spaceship, yet the Asia spaceship was still fighting. Xiao Yu had never given up and kept enduring. In Xiao Yu’s heart, there was always a voice saying, endure, endure, don’t give up, never give up.

This voice might be Xiao Yu’s own heart speaking. It might also be Chen Mo speaking. It might even be Xiao Yu’s homeland, that place that had granted Xiao Yu two lives, speaking.

“Fight to the last moment. As long as I’m not dead, there is still hope.” Xiao Yu said silently.

Xiao Yu endured, enduring all the way until now. Xiao Yu suddenly discovered that a huge fleet was closing in on him. A cruising speed close to one hundred times the speed of light indicated this was a fleet of a Level 6 early-stage civilization. That familiar construction style told Xiao Yu that this was the fleet of the Pegasus Civilization, the civilization he had saved twice.

“The Pegasus Civilization, is it? I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Xiao Yu sighed softly.

A broadcast message was sent and received by Xiao Yu, “Divine Ark Civilization, Xiao Yu, hello. I am the leader of the Pegasus Civilization. At this moment, I have come to fulfill our civilization’s promise. When you face danger, I have brought all of our civilization’s fighting power to rescue you.”

“We have no confidence that we can repel your enemy. We have done our best. No matter what the final result is, we will live and die together with you.” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said. “After this incident, between us, we are even. No one owes anyone anything.”

Xiao Yu burst into laughter. “Good, good Pegasus Civilization! Just as you said, no matter whether your rescue succeeds or not, after this incident, between us we are even, no one owes anyone anything!”

In this brief exchange, these ten million warships had already arrived within less than one light-day of the battlefield. The Sweepers Civilization reacted quickly. One spherical warship led ten thousand ships to remain here and continue encircling and annihilating Xiao Yu’s remaining forces. The remaining four spherical warships led all remaining conventional warships and rushed straight toward the Pegasus Civilization fleet.

The battle began in an instant. At the same time, the Pegasus Civilization leader in the rear of the battlefield received this message and released it.

“The war has begun. What we can do now is complete our own duties and create a stable rear for our warriors… I order all armament factories to operate at full capacity!”

The entire civilization became like a huge yet precise machine. Countless citizens fought at their posts. From this moment on, war became the first priority.

As soon as the Pegasus Civilization fleet came into contact with the Sweepers Civilization forces, the gap in combat power was immediately revealed. The Pegasus Civilization possessed only the most basic space shield system, and their weapons were only spatial rifts, while although the Sweepers Civilization could not match Xiao Yu’s technological level, it far surpassed the Pegasus Civilization. Most importantly, the Sweepers Civilization had spherical warships.

Each spherical warship was at minimum equivalent to the combat power of a Level 6 peak civilization Planet-Class warship. Moreover, because of their small size and the special construction materials, they possessed survival ability even stronger than conventional Planet-Class warships. Xiao Yu saw that at the first contact between the two fleets, a leading Continent-Class warship was rammed straight through. This impact seemed to hit a critical part of that Continent-Class warship, and so the warship immediately began a violent explosion.

Just in the prelude of the war, a Continent-Class spaceship was destroyed. The Pegasus Civilization clearly did not have modular construction technology, nor holographic defense technology or holographic attack technology, so compared to Xiao Yu’s warships, their warships were much worse.

Before the two fleets truly made contact, long-range attacks had already begun. Countless spatial rifts crisscrossed like blades through the pitch-black space. But it was very clear that the attacks launched by the Pegasus Civilization were far weaker, and their defense and mobility were also more than a full level below the Sweepers Civilization warships.

Tens of thousands of Sweepers Civilization warships charged into the Pegasus Civilization warship fleet like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and what followed was an undeniable slaughter. Although the Pegasus Civilization had many warships, it was difficult for them to effectively restrain the Sweepers Civilization warships, and even when they did restrain them, because of the mismatch between Pegasus Civilization warship attack power and Sweepers Civilization warship defense power, they could not inflict effective damage. This was only against the Sweepers Civilization’s conventional warships. Against the spherical warships, the Pegasus Civilization had no solution at all.

But the arrival of the Pegasus Civilization fleet still greatly shared Xiao Yu’s pressure. The number of enemies Xiao Yu needed to face dropped sharply, giving Xiao Yu a rare breathing space. Xiao Yu began using exquisite tactics and clever coordination, maneuvering with the Sweepers Civilization among hundreds of stars. Xiao Yu was no longer like before, throwing away millions or tens of millions of ships at will. Xiao Yu also began to budget carefully. Every ship was precious combat power to Xiao Yu now and could not be lightly abandoned.

Under these circumstances, the combat power gap here was gradually narrowed by Xiao Yu. But the Pegasus Civilization side was not optimistic. The Pegasus Civilization’s numerical advantage was not enough to completely level the quality gap between the two sides. Two months had passed. In this period of fighting, the Pegasus Civilization’s warship count dropped by a full half, while the Sweepers Civilization had only lost a few thousand warships.

Even worse, a situation neither Xiao Yu nor the Pegasus Civilization wished to see occurred. From the Sweepers Civilization fleet, another spherical warship split off, leading five thousand conventional warships, and rushed toward the main garrison of the Pegasus Civilization.

Hundreds of thousands of Pegasus Civilization warships immediately turned back, but the mobility gap made it impossible for them to catch up to the enemy’s pace. The Pegasus Civilization garrison also began deploying defenses. The star system’s defense system immediately activated. The last remaining tens of thousands of warships all launched. Even transport ships, cargo ships, research ships, travel ships, and so on, which were equipped only with self-defense weapons, all gathered together.

The Pegasus Civilization had truly mobilized all the power of their civilization to confront the Sweepers Civilization.

“My warriors, you do not need to worry about the situation in the rear. Restrain the Sweepers Civilization’s main force and buy breathing room for Xiao Yu is the most important thing, and also the only way out for our civilization. Leave the defense of the rear to us…” The leader of the Pegasus Civilization sent this message, then turned his gaze toward the star system’s defense system, looking at the interstellar fortresses, interstellar gun turrets, interstellar mines, ground launch bases, and so on built there, as well as all kinds of messy ships of different sizes and functions, and calmly issued an order, “No matter what your previous profession was, whether you were a scientist or a civilian, at this moment, we all share one identity. We are warriors, warriors protecting our homeland from enemy invasion. Behind us is our homeland, so we cannot make any retreat.”

“Warriors of the Pegasus Civilization, begin battle and annihilate the enemy before us…” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization murmured. “I am with you. We are always together.”

As this final order was issued, the battle had already begun. The Sweepers Civilization spherical warship led the charge, the first to slam into the Pegasus Civilization’s defense line. Thousands of warships followed in a steady stream. In an instant, all kinds of flashes and explosions filled this entire region of space.
