Chapter 3144: A Direct AssaultEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"No."

Captain Granville shook his head slightly, refusing the proposal.

"The Land of Ice Soul possessed an extremely rare ore. An indiscriminate orbital strike would damage the ore veins. The mission description specifically stated that the ore veins needed to be kept safe, and the spawns had repeatedly reminded us of this beforehand."

Granville thought for a moment, then looked toward the various captains projected on the communication screens and said, "Fellow allies, there’s no need to worry. The spawns have authorized us to construct a high-tier prism attack array this time. We only needed to enter the Land of Ice Soul, find an area not yet occupied by mutant worms, and secure it for a period of time to ensure the prism attack array was completed. Then the spawn mechanical units would transmit onto the battlefield through the prism device."

"This time, we came prepared. The high-frequency weapons targeting the Seed of Ouroboros were already fully equipped. Dealing with a few mutant worms would be nothing. If everything went smoothly, we might not even need to engage the mutant worm swarms head-on."

As he spoke, Captain Granville glanced through the surveillance monitors at an alien figure in one of the projection mirrors.

"In addition, the high-tier warrior team of the Blue Lizard clan would accompany us in this operation to ensure we could safely establish the prism attack array."

The captains of the various allied fleets in the projection all turned their attention to the Blue Lizard clan.

In the past, the Blue Lizard clan’s strength ranked at an upper-mid level among the major races.

But recently, the entire clan’s strength level had taken a tremendous leap forward.

"In that case, prepare. We have already confirmed the weak points in the mutant worm creep coverage. Premonition transition coordinates 2891*2781. In 30 minutes, begin the formal ritual transition."

...

On the surface of the Land of Ice Soul.

Fang Heng had already used the defense network positioning system in the ground control room to lock onto the Spawn Alliance fleet’s invasion orbit outside the planet.

Unfortunately, the locals lacked weapons capable of targeting outer space, so he could only give up on that option.

He didn’t run. He was betting that the spawns valued the Land of Ice Soul’s ore so much that they wouldn’t destroy the whole world along with the ore.

Sure enough, the Spawn Alliance fleet soon made a move.

"Mr. Fang, massive spatial fluctuations detected in sector B283. We judge that enemy ships are invading from this area."

"Mm."

Fang Heng stared at the screen in the command room, quickly mobilizing the zombie clone groups. He said in a deep voice, "Buller, gather and prepare for battle."

"Yes!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Buller’s eyes.

Mere aliens, nothing more.

Time for a good fight!

Thousands of kilometers above the ice plains outside headquarters, five hundred warships hovered as they emerged from the transition passage amidst intense spatial fluctuations.

The spawns, after prior reconnaissance, had deliberately chosen an area not covered by creep for the transition.

Once the transition was complete, the ships spread out in a defensive formation, extending their side decks. The shipboard cannons were deployed into firing position, ready to engage at any time.

"Begin scanning procedures. Detected high-concentration Black Fog in the environment. No Seed of Ouroboros reactions detected within five kilometers."

"Mm, expand the scan range."

Having completed the transition, Shadow Clan Captain Granville allowed himself to relax slightly.

Seed of Ouroboros mutant worms combined with Black Fog—just imagining it was terrifying.

The Shadow Clan captain did not dare to be careless. He turned to the Blue Lizard clansmen who had just followed him into the control hall.

The Blue Lizard patriarch nodded lightly and said, "Captain, there is no need to worry. Just act according to plan. If we encounter danger, our Blue Lizard clan will naturally assist."

"Mm, good. With the Blue Lizard experts assisting, I can rest easy."

Granville straightened his spirit, took the microphone, and issued an order through the fleet’s internal communication channel. "Send people down. Prepare to set up the prism transition system."

"Understood!"

At the center of the defensive line formed by the fleet, small transition passages began to open.

Well-equipped alien squads stepped through the teleportation passages from the ships onto the ice plains covered in vines and began transporting and assembling the spawn prism attack array.

Granville raised his head, looking through the ship’s window at the busy allied forces outside.

The spawn prism attack array consisted of a series of advanced Prism Towers. Once placed and activated at fixed positions, high-grade war machines from the spawn headquarters could arrive continuously on the battlefield through the transition.

In most cases, the spawns would not personally join the fighting. Nearly all battles were fought indirectly through allied forces and mechanical legions.

This kind of prism attack array was already one of the spawns’ highest-tier offensive methods.

Once the setup was complete, they were considered to have fulfilled their mission, and the remote spawn mainframe would take over the battlefield.

There would be no problem.

Granville was reassuring himself when a ship control operator raised an alarm: "Report! Captain, massive Seed of Ouroboros reactions have suddenly erupted ten kilometers away. A large number of mutant worm creatures are approaching us!"

"The mutant worm creatures are moving quickly. They are estimated to arrive in ten minutes."

Captain Granville narrowed his eyes slightly, opened the communicator channel, and issued an order to the fleet. "All ships, take note: we have detected a swarm approaching. All ships, assume defensive posture and prepare to engage."

"Understood!"

Each ship entered pre-combat status, with combat personnel taking positions in the battle zones.

Granville stood in the main control room, looking out the window toward the distance.

Soon, a spreading brown swarm appeared on the horizon!

The swarm did not move quickly, but advanced along with the spread of creep.

When the swarm entered weapon range, the ships’ beam weapons locked onto their targets and opened fire in unison.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

A dense storm of energy beams swept into the thick swarm of worms.

The beams exploded among the mutant worm swarm, blasting large sections of it away.

Granville watched the battle outside coldly.

As the reports had said, the swarm had terrifying vitality and self-regeneration. Ordinary beam weapons could hardly deal lethal damage.

Even the energy beams specially designed to counter the Seed of Ouroboros could only increase damage—they could not stop the swarm’s regeneration.

As the Licker packs approached the ships’ long-range attack range, the Lickers quickly pressed themselves to the ground, driving their limbs deep into the creep for stability, and aimed the biological cannons on their backs at the fleet.

"Boom! Boom-boom-boom!!!"

Long-range biological cannons!

A dense barrage of biological shells slammed into the fleet’s outer defensive barriers, blooming into bursts of fire.

The Lickers split into two groups—one set up to exchange fire with the ships, while the other rushed straight at the fleet through the beam attacks.

"All tactical squads, prepare! Deploy and join the battle!"

The prepared tactical squads on the warships grabbed their guns, leapt from the decks, and advanced rapidly toward the Licker groups.
