Galaxy Domination Guide

Bai Zhongqi struck decisively, never lingering in battle. After evading a series of attacks with his mecha, he initiated another short-distance warp, flashing outside the attack range of the Star Alliance legion and then flew back to Blade Empress to take command.

With the destruction of the Stargate, although the large shared Shield Array still existed, protecting the three legions of the Star Alliance Fleet, this fleet of just over two thousand warships had now become trapped like turtles in a jar. The Star Alliance Fleet's total size was said to be no less than one hundred thousand, but spread out over half of the Great Star Zone, there was not much left. Just like the three legions stationed on Earth, not all their strength was concentrated there; even the Thirty-Seventh Legion had subordinate fleets stationed on Mars, Emerald Sea Star, and other locations.

"Why aren't you speaking, Chancellor Xiao Yu?" Bai Zhongqi couldn't resist jabbing, but he received no further response.

He was well aware that Xiao Yu was suspected of being stubbornly defiant. If he withdrew two legions, Xiao Yu could naturally still find an explanation. However, now that Bai Zhongqi had destroyed the Stargate with a stroke, these two legions could no longer retreat. There was no point in coming out to argue with Bai Zhongqi anymore.

At this moment, the Thirty-Seventh Legion's fleet, abandoned outside the Shield Array, charged forward with fierce momentum, but the situation inside was extremely chaotic.

"Legion Commander, our warships have lost control!"

Mastrov's face turned ashen, and he asked sharply, "What about the escape pods? Where are our escape pods?"

"The escape pods are also inoperable; all the escape functions have failed."

"Legion Commander, the communication systems have also been blocked; we are unable to make any contact with the outside world."

Mastrov was in extreme pain and said, "This means he does not want our situation to get out, does not want people to know that we were forced onto the battlefield. He wants us to become 'Dead Soldiers' willing to die, the military personnel who died fighting against the invader Bai Zhongqi, the Dead Soldiers loyal to him, Xiao Yu."

The chief of staff next to him started to cry out, "Damn it, that bastard Xiao Yu!"

Mastrov had already slumped to the ground, his tears falling in large drops. Inside the bridge, all the officers and combat personnel had fallen into a state of hysterical frenzy. Some were frantically pounding on the operational interface of the warships, trying to regain control; others were weakly lying on the tables bursting into tears; and still, others were constantly praying to their gods, hoping to be spared from disaster.

"Xiao Yu, you scumbag! You will not die a good death!" The Legion Commander, who had been flattering Xiao Yu for over a decade, was utterly vile in this moment.

It was in these final moments that the tens of thousands in the fleet, who had sung praises to the Chancellor every day, and among them many who were truly loyal to Xiao Yu, erupted with a rage wholly different from before. They linked Xiao Yu with every filthy word they could think of, cursing Xiao Yu's ancestors for eighteen generations and wishing to tear him into thousands of pieces.

Naturally, these actions would have no effect. Xiao Yu might not even hear them, for the Chancellor had only given a simple order—allowing the fleet's AI system to take the leading role. People in the fleet had already become inconsequential little mice.

At this moment, Bai Zhongqi also became somewhat silent.

The 37th Legion Fleet was sent to their deaths; for that merciless Chancellor of the Star Alliance, those potentially rebellious hearts were unreliable. The only thing he could rely on was the military force under the control of the Supreme Command. He would not accept those Star Alliance subjects who were his loyal citizens one second and the next had sworn oaths of allegiance to Bai Zhongqi, becoming the vanguard against him.

For those of the Star Alliance disloyal to him, there was only death.

Bai Zhongqi, who had long been mentally prepared for this, was still filled with anger and helplessness when faced with this scene. The 37th Legion before him had to be annihilated; the crew and soldiers inside those warships that had turned into sealed tin can prisons might not all be innocent, but dying this way was obviously unjust.

The barrage of fire from the Swarm Fleet became even denser, oftentimes a single 37th Legion warship had to withstand the assault of more than ten Swarm warships. Although Star Alliance warships were exceptionally balanced in offense and defense, having their shields breached and then their armor pierced, sinking was an inevitable fate.

The two legions of the Jinwu Army, already unable to retreat from the Solar System, also fully committed themselves to the state of war. These legions comprised of bionic humans were indeed skilled in combat. Relying on their impressively durable shared shield arrays, the goal of the Jinwu Army's warships was clear: to kill the living forces of Bai Zhongqi's fleet.

Xiao Yu wasn't sure how many warships Bai Zhongqi had, but weakening them even slightly would be beneficial to the decisive battle he would have with Bai Zhongqi in the future. Two thousand Jinwu Army warships split into different fire strike groups began to purposefully attack the Swarm Fleet.

Bai Zhongqi didn't dare to take any chances, he began to maneuver his own fleet and bombarded the shields intensively. This exchange of fire, while seemingly not very high-tech, in reality, both sides were constantly adjusting formations and firing positions to minimize their own casualties.

Bai Zhongqi also kept trying to find ways to crack the shield array; clearly, this defense array with astonishing strength had long surpassed the original version devised by the Tezians. Other than utterly shattering it, there seemed to be no better method to break through it.

"Breaking this turtle shell is going to take some effort," Bai Zhongqi frowned slightly.

This war of revenge proved to be a bit tougher than Bai Zhongqi had anticipated.

After more than twenty hours, no Star Alliance warship entered the battle again, and Bai Zhongqi finally breached the thick and annoying shield array. The individual shields of the two thousand Jinwu Army warships completely shattered as well.

Even though warships without shields still had offensive capabilities and their armor could hold for a while, they were destined to be sunken targets. As the artillery fire completely engulfed the Star Alliance warships, Bai Zhongqi knew the battle had essentially come to an end.

This surprise assault on Earth, which had erupted and shifted completely without warning, finally culminated in a brutal hand-to-hand fight and drew to its conclusion.

The Star Alliance lost Earth, lost the backbone of their civilization, lost the political center, and lost the main battle fleets of three legions, but the vast majority of its military and industrial strength remained.

Bai Zhongqi also paid a price; the combat ability of the Star Alliance Fleet was remarkable. To sink more than two thousand warships and destroy the entire Earth orbit defense circle, Bai Zhongqi consecutively lost more than a hundred warships, mainly from the Swarm Fleet, while the four Military Lords had minor losses.

After the battle, Bai Zhongqi casually also took possession of the Moon.
