NOVPUB"What! They launched an attack?"
"Did they just make a blunder?"
Upon seeing Lin Yun’s battleship initiate the attack, many people on Fang Ao’s side were taken aback; some even cried out in surprise.
A lot of beginners who had never experienced battle before reacted this way when a fight suddenly broke out. They launched attacks prematurely, before even being within range. Although such blunders were not common in these times, they did happen.
"How hilarious, to think they were a group of hotshots. They’re nothing more than greenhorns..." some people began to sneer once they realized what was happening.
At the moment, they were not very far from the other side, but the latter was still far from their shooting range. Thus, subconsciously, they thought that the others had made a blunder.
However, before they could finish their sentences, their faces changed.
Because they discovered that things were not as they initially believed.
Based on the data displayed on their screens, the attack from the other side was about to hit them.
"Quick! Get out of the way!"
"Get away!"
Those who were controlling the battleships could not help but shout out loud.
However, the window of opportunity slipped away in a moment, and it was too late to react.
"Boom-boom-boom—"
"Bam! Bam!"
A series of powerful energy beams hit their ships, causing their defensive energy barriers to quickly deplete, and their shields to break open, one after another.
"Such a powerful attack!" Upon seeing the rapidly updating data, their faces changed again.
Not only was the range of the opponent’s battleship far greater, but the intensity of its attacks was much stronger than theirs.
"This kind of attack probably only needs three waves to break through the defensive shield of one of our battleships. Luckily, they only have one of these battleships. If they had three, we would be in serious trouble!" One of them gasped in shock.
If the other side had three battleships of this caliber, one round of attack could obliterate one of their battleships. Their own firing range fell short of their opponents’, how were they supposed to fight this battle?
Even though they could depend on their overlord, a level-ten cultivator, to turn the tide, it was impossible to recover their lost battleships.
A premium battleship of a tier-six technological civilization was a significant loss.
And, if they had to endure the second or third wave of attacks, their losses would be even greater.
After all, it would also take time for their overlord to attack.
"It’s not an ordinary premium battleship of a tier-six technological civilization?" Upon seeing all this, Fang Ao’s eyes sparkled with a burning light; he was obviously excited.
Having attained their level of power and status, what were they seeking?
Of course, advanced military power!
An advanced battleship was one such form!
However, within a radius of several hundred million light-years, the Kodis Empire was the most powerful civilization. Premium battleships of a tier-six technological civilization were the most advanced battleships that their civilization could produce.
The battleships they were using were of this type.
No matter how strong Fang Ao was, he couldn’t acquire anything better.
The Kodis Royal Family had a few battleships of a tier-seven technological civilization. He shouldn’t even think about those; those were the trump cards of the Royal Family, and he could never acquire them.
This was quite regrettable.
However, the battleship in front of them stirred his heart.
The data of this battleship clearly surpassed theirs by a great margin.
Since he couldn’t secure a battleship from a tier-seven civilization, wouldn’t this battleship be the next best thing?
If he could get his hands on it, it would certainly be impressive to reveal it in the future!
This thought alone nearly made Fang Ao teleport there right away.
However, he decided to wait a little longer...
A flash of intent shot through Fang Ao’s eyes.
"Quick! Close the distance and confront them head on. The battleship that was attacked, quickly replenish your energy!" Fang Ao ordered sternly.
"Yes, my lord..."
All his subordinates nodded and began to execute the operations quickly.
Although they had three against one in this battle, their opponent was not an ordinary battleship, and they could not afford to take it lightly.
"Shii-- Shii-- Shii--"
At that moment, an attack from Lin Yun’s battleship arrived again, an array of energized pillar network attacks, targeted towards the same battleship they had just struck.
"Quick!"
"Evade!"
The ship’s operators maneuvered hastily while some crew members shouted orders.
However, the speed of this type of energy pillar attack was too swift, coupled with a certain lock-on ability, so despite them trying their best to evade, some portion of the attacks still landed on their battleship.
"Boom--"
"Pop! Pop!"
Some of the just restored defense shields were once again quickly depleted of substantial energy, some defensive layers were rapidly broken through again.
"The defensive shields haven’t fully recovered their energy yet, and they’ve been hit again by such a powerful attack. At this rate, I’m afraid this battleship can only withstand five or six more rounds of attacks!" One helmsman, his face changing, stated in consecutive remarks.
"Shii-- Shii-- Shii--"
Just then, another attack was launched from Lin Yun’s battleship.
"This won’t do, we can’t completely evade the opponent’s attacks! Hurry, prepare to use counter-attack mode!" the battleship’s chief helmsman declared.
Counter-attack mode meant that they would initiate their attack while simultaneously trying to intercept the opponent’s attacks, thus reducing the impact of the opponent’s attacks, enabling their battleship’s defenses to withstand fewer attacks, and allowing more time to restore the defensive layers.
This was a rather passive mode.
Because their attack couldn’t aim at the opponent’s, yet the opponent’s attacks were targeted at them. Although they were intercepting the opponent’s attacks, they definitely couldn’t block everything. Some of the enemy attack would inevitably strike their battleship.
In this case, their battleship would expend colossal energy.
Not to mention, only with this kind of attack method could their battleship withstand several rounds.
If it turned into a war of attrition, they would surely lose.
"Requesting counter-attack mode support! Requesting counter-attack mode support!" After that, the chief helmsman sent a message to the other two battleships, conveying rapidly.
If the other two battleships could help them resist the attacks, their situation would significantly improve. As long as they could let their battleship’s defensive layer recover, they would not fear a war of attrition.
After all, they had three battleships on their side, and a tenth-level cultivator from their master’s side.
...
"The range of our battleship’s attack is so much greater than theirs!"
"Our battleship attacked them three times before we even entered their range, it feels fantastic. I just observed that the defensive layer of their battleship is almost being broken through. Unfortunately, we only have one battleship on our side. If we had three or four and attacked together, we might have blown it up!"
On the side of Lin Yun, Zhao Gang, Xia Xiaotian, and Lin Duoer were exclaiming excitedly.
The battleship on their side was controlled by all of them collectively, Lin Yun intentionally trained them to operate the battleships and to experience the feeling of battle.
They kept their heads down practicing and seldom experienced actual combat, at most they fought virtually in games. This situation was not beneficial for long-term cultivation. Although this battle was between battleships, to let them experience it and feel the atmosphere was a good practice.
"This battleship is not cheap. If you allow it to be blown up, we’ll have to compensate for it!" Hearing them saying so, Lin Yun chuckled, responded.
He paid such a hefty price, and he already counted the enemy’s battleship as his own.
Previously, he only knew that the battleships from the Cosmic Trading System were somewhat stronger than ordinary battleships of the same level from the data. But now, in actual combat, he recognized how vast the gap was and what it represented.
War is ruthless, a slight difference could mean life or death.
"The opponent’s three battleships have already used counter-attack mode to intercept the attacks. Let’s back off so that we don’t get within their range!" Seeing the opponent’s defense mode change, Lin Yun voiced out his commands.
If they couldn’t break through their defenses in a short period, then they should wage a war of attrition. There was no more meaning to continue their fierce attacks.
Should they approach too close, allowing the opponent to retaliate and attack them, it would instead be unfavorable.
Such a kite-flying strategy was the best treatment method.
Assuming they had sufficient energy with this kite-flying method, they could exhaust the opponent to death. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Of course, this was unless the opponent had a powerful being out of their range.
Like... a tenth-level cultivator.
Of course, on their side, they also had two robots that were tenth-level cultivators and weren’t afraid of this level of powerful beings from the opponent’s side.
In fact, Lin Yun was just waiting for the opponent’s tenth-level cultivator to make a move.

The opponent would be, and so would he!
The experiences during this period taught Lin Yun to act this way!
