Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 771: Desperate Situation and the Arrival of the Arrow Beast Civilization

The Sweepers Civilization fleet completely broke through the defensive line laid down by the Pegasus Civilization in just one day. Several million transport ships, cargo ships, research ships, tourism ships, and the like, together with tens of thousands of warships, were annihilated here. All interstellar turrets, fortresses, and so on were also swept away clean.

Facing a preliminary Level 6 Civilization like the Pegasus Civilization, the Sweepers Civilization could hold an absolute advantage even without deploying Neutron War Star. What was more, most of the ships participating in the defensive battle were civilian ships.

Countless members of the Pegasus Civilization from all professions, civilians, merchants, scholars, scientists, workers, and so on, all dedicated their lives to this defensive battle. The defensive line had already collapsed, and the Sweepers Civilization warships all surged into the interior of the Pegasus Civilization territory.

At this moment, the Pegasus Civilization had become completely undefended. Not to mention warships, there were hardly even any civilian ships left. Even those instruments that could only fly within the atmosphere were spontaneously organized by the people, and after simple modifications they flew into the sky, taking on the duty of planetary defense.

The Pegasus Civilization leader clearly saw all of this. He picked up the communication device and said calmly, “Everything in the rear is good. Fight with peace of mind, fight with all your strength, and be sure to accomplish the predetermined strategic objective.”

After putting down the communication device, the Pegasus Civilization leader stared somewhat blankly at the display screen in front of him. He saw prosperous cities easily razed to the ground by bombs falling from the sky. Strands of black spatial rifts descended from the heavens, effortlessly carving the ground open into an enormous fracture whose length and width had to be measured in kilometers. Countless people scattered and fled, terrified cries reaching straight into the clouds. Everywhere were massive mechanical industrial bases, mining bases, shipbuilding bases. The key buildings that kept the cities running, energy bases, water supply bases, and the like, were destroyed one by one, sinking into seas of fire…

The Pegasus Civilization leader silently closed his eyes. In his heart, he told himself, “If possible, I would also be willing to use my own death to nourish the spirit of our civilization, to make it grow even stronger. But I still cannot die. Our civilization still needs my leadership.”

After seeing that the rampage of attacks on the rear of the civilization did not trigger much reaction from the enemy fleet, this small squad of the Sweepers Civilization quickly gave up this futile effort and began heading toward the battlefield. What remained here was a scene of devastation. Every planet that the intelligent beings of the Pegasus Civilization had ever set foot on suffered the Sweepers Civilization’s cruel blows, and some planets were even directly shattered, turning into endless asteroids.

Because this small squad was pulled away, on the main battlefield, facing the Pegasus Civilization’s numerous and fearless assault fleets, even though the Sweepers Civilization held an advantage in quality, they still felt enormous pressure. So this small squad was reassigned back again.

The battle situation remained locked in stalemate. In terms of conventional fleets, Xiao Yu and the Pegasus Civilization still had a total of four million warships. These four million warships finally managed to suppress the Sweepers Civilization’s roughly thirty thousand warships. However, the Sweepers Civilization still had five spherical warships. And among these five spherical warships, not a single one showed any sign of reduced combat power.

“Without Star-Class warships, it’s basically impossible to eliminate these spherical warships.” Xiao Yu silently shook his head in his mind. “My current warships have already been reduced to fewer than three hundred, and the Pegasus Civilization’s warships have already been damaged by more than half.”

“Pegasus Civilization, go back. As long as we have no way to destroy these five spherical warships, we are destined not to achieve victory. I can’t bear for you to suffer pointless losses, and I also know you have already done your best, you have already fulfilled your promise. Go. I don’t blame you. I will stay here and fight to the final moment, and in order to eliminate me, presumably the Sweepers Civilization will not devote too much attention to you.” Xiao Yu said.

Blood flowed from the corner of the Pegasus Civilization leader’s mouth. He smiled miserably and said, “No. Since we made a promise back then, then no matter what situation we encounter, we will carry it out. We will live and die with you, fight to the final moment. Either victory, or death. And moreover…”

The Pegasus Civilization leader paused. He looked somewhat despondently at the civilization territory that had once been incomparably prosperous and full of vitality, but now was unrecognizable, a wrecked mess, and said slowly, “We don’t think there’s any use in running away now.”

Xiao Yu fell silent for a moment, then responded, “Pegasus Civilization, thank you. If we can survive this crisis, I will regard you as comrades-in-arms who live and die with me. As long as the Divine Ark Civilization exists for even one day, I will not tolerate anyone laying a finger on your civilization.” 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Pegasus Civilization leader shook his head and said, “In comparison, we would rather see ourselves rely on our own strength to obtain the qualification to survive in this universe. We accept your goodwill, but we do not need it. Don’t say so much for now. Fight. Only by wiping out the Sweepers Civilization fleet will we have a slim chance of survival.”

The numbers of the Sweepers Civilization conventional fleet, and the conventional fleets of the Pegasus Civilization and Xiao Yu, continued to decline. The Sweepers Civilization fleet count dropped from thirty thousand ships to less than ten thousand, while the Pegasus Civilization’s four million ships dropped to less than eight hundred thousand. Xiao Yu was even more miserable. Aside from the Asia spaceship, Xiao Yu had only one hundred and eight warships left.

If not for the Pegasus Civilization’s desperate protection, the Asia spaceship would have long since been destroyed. And the destruction of the Asia spaceship meant Xiao Yu’s death.

Both sides seemed to have suffered enormous losses. But Xiao Yu saw that those five spherical warships were still five. This number never changed. The loss of several million ships did not trade for even a single spherical warship.

These five spherical warships had always been the core of the battlefield. Their lethality was simply too powerful, and their defensive power was also too powerful. Facing the black spatial rifts filling the sky, they were as if strolling leisurely across grassland in spring. With every attack, an enemy warship was certain to be destroyed. It was precisely because of the existence of these five spherical warships that the coalition fleet of the Pegasus Civilization and Xiao Yu had been suppressed the entire time.

At this moment, within the Pegasus Civilization territory, the surviving people who were still shaken made their way out of their shelters and returned to the surface. What appeared before them was a sea of ruins. The once-bustling commercial skyscrapers were gone, the smooth streets once filled with traffic were gone, the scenic tourist districts were gone, the busy ship ports were gone… Nothing could be seen, nothing remained. What there was, was only ruins, and the flames of war.

Countless surviving people collapsed to the ground and wept uncontrollably. They knew very clearly that this was the price they had to pay for making the choice to go and rescue the Divine Ark Civilization. They had long made psychological preparations to face the fact that everything their civilization had accumulated over several thousand years could be destroyed in a single day, but when this fact truly appeared before them, they still cried, crying with heartbreaking grief.

There was nothing left, nothing left. The people of the Pegasus Civilization knew clearly that they were about to bid farewell to the beautiful life they once had. What awaited them in the future would be another several thousand years of struggle and accumulation, and even, if the worst case occurred, they would no longer have any future at all. They would be directly exterminated by the Sweepers Civilization.

They had long known this would happen, yet they still chose this road. In their hearts, the people of the Pegasus Civilization all silently repeated one sentence, “This is the spirit of our civilization. Even if our civilization goes extinct here, our spirit will not change. Even if our civilization goes extinct, our spirit will continue forever.”

Countless Pegasus Civilization people began to pray here. Without instruments, they simply could not see what the distant battlefield looked like at this moment. The only thing they could do was pray, pray that final victory would belong to their civilization.

But reality happened to be the exact opposite of what they prayed for. In the fierce battle, the number of Pegasus Civilization warships decreased once again. Up to this moment, Xiao Yu had fewer than fifty warships left, while the Pegasus Civilization had about one hundred thousand warships remaining, and the Sweepers Civilization had three thousand conventional warships left, yet the five spherical warships still had not suffered any losses.

“Spherical warships, spherical warships! Spherical warships are the key to this war. If we cannot eliminate the spherical warships, then even if we wipe out all of the Sweepers Civilization’s conventional warships it will be useless. Sooner or later we will be ground to death by these five spherical warships. But how can we possibly eliminate them?”

Xiao Yu was urgently thinking of countermeasures, but regretfully, Xiao Yu had no way.

Right at this moment, several light years away from here, a group of a peak Level 4 Alien Beast Civilization were rapidly closing in. They seemed to have already sensed the massive aura of war within this region, and also sensed the familiar aura ahead that originated from the Divine Ark Civilization.

“I know Brother Xiao Yu is up ahead. He is fighting the enemy, and his situation is very dangerous right now… We have to go save him. Brother Xiao Yu needs us.” Lorna murmured. “In the past, Brother Xiao Yu saved our Arrow Beast Civilization. Now, it’s time for our Arrow Beast Civilization to repay that kindness…”

Over thirty thousand Arrow Beasts rushed toward that place ahead that had not yet come into view. Although they were only Level 4 alien beasts, their current speed of advance reached over thirty times the speed of light.
