Chapter 1590: Chapter 1590
Unfortunately, no matter how these people protest behind the scenes or engage in petty tricks, their influence on the battlefield is now insignificant. Once a major war breaks out, it’s not something that individuals can withstand.
The key point is that they don’t dare to send troops. The few forces they have are all reserved for their own use.
In case they need to retreat or encounter other unforeseen situations, it would be unacceptable to be left without any troops. At this moment, who would dare to deploy their troops to the front lines? Besides, even their forces might not be sufficient.
The enemy has deployed too many troops, completely surpassing what the rear armies can compare to.
As for other regions, while they do have forces, everyone is currently retreating and defending their own territory. With such commanders, it’s hard to inspire confidence. Now, the forces in those territories and armies barely follow orders.
To be honest, the alliance’s frontlines being in such disarray is definitely not something that happened overnight. The root cause ultimately lies in themselves.
Du You didn’t place any hopes on these people and continued to watch Ke Jisi take command of the forces in battle.
Speaking of which, Ke Jisi displayed significant talent in command, accompanied by Sera as her deputy. This allowed Du You to witness the art of strategy firsthand. In this regard, Du You couldn’t help but feel inferior.
Even as a seventh-tier powerhouse, with thinking abilities far beyond the average person, Du You often took more time and effort to deliberate over matters, and his command might not have been as precise or appropriate as these two individuals. One reason was experience, and another was innate talent.
When it came to commanding battles, Du You’s specialty was recklessly charging forward, completely devoid of any strategic finesse.
Still, by the end of the battle, he’d have to step in personally; under absolute strength, all tactics would be rendered meaningless.
As the battle progressed, ten days had already passed. What started as a skirmish had now escalated into full-scale war. His forces continuously retreated, eventually being confined to the surface of several planets.
There was no other option—it was simply that the enemy forces were too overwhelming. Du You’s remaining sixth-tier warships numbered less than one-tenth of the opposing side, not to mention their reinforcements, which were certainly far from the surface appearance.
As for the amount of reinforcements, Du You was clueless since they all arrived alongside the interstellar fortresses.
Du You also had no idea what other tactics the enemy might have in store.
"Lord, seventh-tier powerhouses have already made their move on the battlefield. Three days ago, in the third battle zone, a seventh-tier powerhouse emerged, directly destroying two of the enemy’s interstellar fortresses. We’re unclear about the details after that."
"Do we know which faction they belong to?" Du You’s eyes lit up.
As long as he wasn’t the first to make a move, he wouldn’t attract too much attention; at least, it wouldn’t put him in the spotlight. Moving forward, Du You still needed to develop within this world and had no reason to stand out so deliberately.
Maintaining a low profile was the key to Du You’s smooth progression thus far.
"We don’t know the specifics, but based on speculation, it’s likely someone from the American Alliance."
"The American Alliance, huh? That makes sense. They’re the ones most passionate about technological worlds, so it’s natural for them to be the first to lose patience." Du You was well aware of the American Alliance’s near-fanatical pursuit of technology.
Though most individuals wouldn’t choose a technological path, this often came down to considerations about their futures or their own innate talents. However, their perception of technology was fundamentally different from others.
"If that’s the case, then it’s time for us to fight as well. By the way, have those targets already entered the attack range?"
"They entered two days ago, but following your instructions, we’ve been holding steady. There may still be reinforcements coming from the rear, but they won’t amount to much unless their interstellar fortress arrives."
"No need to worry about interstellar fortresses. Once this wave is over, I’ll handle them with Yu Shi and Yucha. As for this current wave—let’s show them our true strength."
Du You smiled and summoned his Photon Elf. The Photon Elf was the nemesis of technological weapons. Though it had yet to advance, its current state was perfect for this battle.
On No.1 Planet, a colossal spherical building already stood prominently.
Its surface was laced with arcs of electricity flickering back and forth, projecting a futuristic and sci-fi aesthetic. However, anyone daring to approach would be instantly electrocuted by the powerful currents, leaving no trace behind.
After receiving the order from the front lines, the workers immediately sprang into action.
"Quick—the Lord’s command—initiate the Super Electromagnetic Pulse immediately."
A group of people worked frantically, taking a full five minutes to complete the prerequisites to activate the device. While this machine wasn’t classified as a seventh-tier weapon—its evaluation only reaching fifth-tier levels—it had an enormous range of effect, enough to encompass all of Du You’s territory.
The prior battles had already drawn all the enemy’s deployable combat units into this range.
Unseen to anyone, the Photon Elf had already integrated itself into the machine, tirelessly generating special signals.
Suddenly, the massive spherical structure erupted, emitting a visible halo of light that expanded outward from No.1 Planet, enveloping the entire planet and continuing to spread outward. Everything in its path was penetrated, yet unaffected—no visible damage or harm occurred.
The enormous light circle continued to expand, drawing everyone’s attention with its sheer presence.
"Report—we’ve identified it as the Electromagnetic Shock radius. Based on its intensity, it will cover the entire star system within twenty minutes at most."
"Electromagnetic Shock? What effects will it have on us?" Observing the halo, they knew escape was impossible. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Based on intensity analysis, it’ll have little impact on us. Weapons rated at tier three and below will stall for a few minutes before recovering. However, this attack affects both allied and enemy forces indiscriminately."
"Heh, so this is their final play? Indiscriminate impact—I find it hard to believe. Spread the word and have everyone prepare for the shock. Also, deploy the bioweapons; they won’t be impacted by this."
Indeed, the Blood-colored Empire’s specialty was bioweapons, especially pure biological ones that were completely immune to such effects. Electromagnetic Shock was targeted specifically at technological weapons.
