Chapter 1430: Chapter 1430

Seeing so many tier-six powerhouses entering the warship, and being very familiar with warships, even having personally disabled a tier-seven war fortress, Du You certainly knew the situation was extremely dangerous now.

"Should we go help? If we don’t, I’m afraid the losses will be huge."

No sooner had Du You finished speaking than he was pulled aside by Lin Yucha, who also shook her head at him.

Someone next to them immediately said, "We can’t help with this one; have you not seen that no one is going? This battle is fought by the American Alliance for their own reputation. If we go to help, they won’t appreciate it but will actually resent it."

"Yeah, they’ll definitely say, ’Who asked you to help? We could have handled it ourselves.’"

Next to him, someone vividly imitated the American Alliance’s attitude, but the sarcasm in their eyes was unmistakable, for people of the American Alliance were like that. The higher up in the ranks, the more so, especially among the upper class of the high-tech military.

"Don’t say they’d be grateful; I wouldn’t go even if they were."

"That’s right, we’d be there to stifle our momentum, to show off their strength, and they’ve put forward so many conditions. I’ve been annoyed with them for a long time. It’s better to see them suffer more losses now."

Du You looked at Lin Yucha, who whispered, "According to the information before, these people came here under the pretext of helping us, without caring whether we needed it, and proposed a bunch of conditions."

Du You understood; this was forced trade, so their losses were irrelevant. If they suffered significant losses, those so-called conditions would become a joke. If they dare to insist, once exposed, that would stain their lives forever, even causing the American Alliance military to lose face.

Without any help, the combined battleship was in danger. As each blood-colored lotus bloomed and the lights of the ships and warships were extinguished, along with the guns going silent, it signified that one module after another was destroyed.

This destruction was not just a matter of killing the personnel; the entire warship module was destroyed from the inside out. Even if they were taken back for repairs, they couldn’t be fixed - they were scrapped right on the spot.

"Hold them back, what are you all good for? Is this how I should use you?"

"It’s no use, Commander, their attacks are targeted at the outside of the warship; once the enemy enters the interior, we can’t do anything. Now, nearly a third of the warship modules have fallen."

"Commander, please give the order quickly, otherwise our losses will be even greater."

Some began to pressurize the Warship Commander, with such heavy losses, someone had to be blamed, and now the Warship Commander was the most suitable. Although such commanders were hard to train, they were not irreplaceable.

One would fall, and plenty more were eyeing the position.

Finally, the Warship Commander compromised, shouting loudly: "Order all breached modules, including nearby modules, to detach immediately and initiate the self-destruct sequence. Turn off the self-destruct alarm and notifications, execute instantly."

After speaking, the Commander closed his eyes, knowing he was finished. Going back, he would face a military tribunal and could only live like an ordinary person for the rest of his life. That was the best outcome; otherwise, he might spend the second half of his life in prison. As a technological Professional, life would be tough in a special prison.

Others, seeing the Commander’s order, issued instructions immediately. The preliminary preparations had been done; they were just waiting for the Commander’s final order - they dared not overstep their authority.

Even so, they would surely be punished after returning, but at least it would be better than the Commander’s fate.

This time, the mistake was the Commander’s choice to take the risk; there were no major faults in other aspects. They had rigorously executed all orders, and many were already thinking about how to write their reports once back. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Meanwhile, numerous warship modules suddenly detached from the war fortress itself and fell towards the ground. The Blood Lotus members were still inside the warship, unaware of the situation outside.

With their strength, this slight loss of gravity during descent was nothing. Many of them thought the warship’s flight system was damaged, so the warship was going to fall. This scenario was not only possible but very likely.

The descending warship modules emitted no sound. The people on the abandoned intact modules had no idea what had happened. The upper class of the Blood Lotus continued to push forward, causing destruction.

Suddenly, however, many felt a sudden panic, as if something terrible had happened.

Before they could figure it out, a white flash erupted before them, and then they knew nothing more. Onlookers clearly saw the detached modules suddenly explode violently, shrapnel and shockwaves scattering in all directions.

Even the solid mountains were blasted into pits. The nearest small mountain was directly blown in half from the middle, marking the most significant terrain change since the fighting began.

The explosion was instantaneous. Accompanied by a roar, three figures flew out from the explosion, Blood Lotus’s upper class. One lost an arm, and the other two were covered in blood but seemed intact.

None of the other intruders in the warship made it out; Blood Lotus had suffered huge losses.

At the same time, the remaining part of the combined warship in the air flickered and went dark from the explosion’s impact; many modules were evidently severely damaged and might have been broken.

Next, the huge combined warship shook and could no longer maintain its ability to fly, starting to plummet towards the ground. It fell faster and faster, eventually crashing harshly into the mountains.

Dust filled the air, and when it cleared, the huge warship was exposed to everyone’s view. It was just as devastated as if it were in ruins. It was uncertain how many of the warships inside could still be used.

"Why are they fleeing? Aren’t they going to pursue the victory?" someone said. In the distance, the people of Blood Lotus had retreated.

"Why pursue? They didn’t see we’re all here. Although the warship was destroyed, in the end, their upper class was nearly wiped out. If they dare to pursue us, their fate will depend on us."

The combined explosion of the tier-six warship was terrifying. Even Du You himself wouldn’t be sure to escape unscathed in such a situation. Now, having three survive was impressive, indicating they must have used life-saving measures. As for the others, even those who used such measures didn’t make it.
