Chapter 2227 - War Tolerates No Mercy!

Chapter 2227 War Tolerates No Mercy!
The image of Dongfang Lei, the commander of the Godly Might Fleet, appeared on the light beam.
It was a handsome, vigorous young man who had eyebrows that looked like swords. His straight uniform highlighted his perfect and athletic body figure, as if it were part of his body. His attractive face was full of the pride of the upper-class men. One could tell at first look that he was a core descendent of the four Kurfürst families who was meant to control the lives of thousands of people after he was born.
Indeed, it was possible to distinguish him from Yun Chenghua just based on their faces.
One of them was a man who had no reliance in the family and was destined to spend his entire life suffering in the desolate land if there was no accident.
The other, however, had only come to the Godly Might Prison to gain more experience. This place was nothing more than a platform for him to climb to the higher sky.
Therefore, even though Dongfang Lei’s military rank was lower than Yun Chenghua’s and he was theoretically under the warden’s command, he was, in fact, free to act on his own and did not need to bother with Yun Chenghua’s orders.
It was also the reason why Li Linghai would rather infiltrate the deputy advisor and part of the captains of the Godly Might Fleet. Dongfang Lei, as the commander-general, was too tricky to deal with. It was impossible for him to be persuaded or bought over.
Lei Chenghu never thought to buy Dongfang Lei over either. He simply stared at the highest commander of the Godly Might Fleet emotionlessly.

Dongfang Lei, however, was greatly surprised by the mess in the control center as well as Lei Chenghu whose clothes were soaked in blood and whose left arm was gone.
Looking at Lei Chenghu and then at Yun Chenghua, who was commanding his subordinates to operate quickly next to him, Dongfang Lei immediately understood everything. Intense fear and fury spurted out of his eyes.

The fear and fury flashed quickly and were hidden in the deepest part of his pupils. Dongfang Lei took a deep breath and made the final attempt.
Marquis Liaohai, I surrender!

Lei Chenghu made a
launch immediately
gesture at Yun Chenghua as he said casually,
Okay.


The Heaven Battering Cannons have been fully charged with spiritual energy. Launching in the extreme bombardment mode!

With dense sweat of blood leaking out of his forehead, Yun Chenghua clenched his fists. He looked at Dongfang Lei, not without ecstasy, and smashed the control panel hard!
At this moment—
The hundreds of small warships that belonged to the Godly Might Fleet had all broken into the atmosphere. Drifting below the sky and the clouds, they completely exposed their abdomens to the anti-air fire net of the Godly Might Prison.

In order to increase the speed of the descent and to boost the anti-gravity rune arrays, they did not even activate the spiritual shield to 100%. They never thought that their allies would bare the sharpest tusks at them.
Dongfang Lei’s flagship was floating in the atmosphere, caught in a predicament.

By the time he discovered that he had been locked onto by four Heaven Battering Cannons and hundreds of anti-air weapons, there was already no time to either change the direction or to activate the spiritual shield!
A universal war had to follow the most ancient military common sense—that the firepower based on the continent was always higher than the firepower based on vehicles.
For even the super heavy warships more than ten kilometers long, it was already the limit to allocate one to two kilometers for the cabin of main weapons. It was needless to say that a starship could only accommodate limited fuel and ammunition. Even with the dozens of Cosmos Rings that were carried on board, it was not enough to sustain the long-time roaring of destructive cannons.
It was also the reason why the crystal suits and the Colossi prevailed in the war in space. Due to the restriction of the fuel and ammunition, both parties of the war had to adopt the most
cost-effective
way of fighting, which was the melee battles.
The firepower based on the continent, however, was totally different.
Even the smallest planet often had a diameter tens of thousands of meters larger than the length of a starship. Their sizes were even exponentially bigger.
Compared to the starships, which had limited rooms and had to worry about supplies all the time, a planet always had an infinite load of weapons and ammunition.
Some of the important military fortresses could totally dig a dozen kilometers into the ground to establish the appalling cannons, which could launch tons of bullets multiple times faster than the speed of sound with almost infinite fuel.
Unfortunately, the Godly Might Prison was such an
important military fortress
. The four
Heaven Battering Cannons
that were deeply buried below the ground, if dug out and placed on the ground, would have been skyscrapers rising to the clouds. It was not hard to imagine how powerful they were!
What was ironic was that although the Imperium worked on the Godly Might Prison for hundreds of years and built such four super anti-air cannons at the consumption of tremendous resources, the first time they were used was to be aimed at the Imperium’s own starships.
The Heaven Battering Cannons adopted a dual-attack mode with both super radiations and electromagnetic bullets. First of all, four mystic rays rose to the sky like a lightning storm and immediately locked Dongfang Lei’s flagship from four angles, destroying the spiritual shield that had been raised in a hurry unstoppably.
In the end, four cannonballs filled with highly-explosive crystals, dragging daunting exhaust flames behind, broke the void like the claws of devils and snatched the enemy.
Dongfang Lei’s flagship dodged hard. But the two parties were too close to each other, and the super radiations in the first wave significantly disrupted the anti-gravity rune arrays and the power units of the starship, making the starship unable to move at all as if it were caught in a vortex.
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With the price of almost tearing his starship apart, Dongfang Lei dodged the attack of the first highly-explosive cannonball. But the remote detonation rune array on the cannonball had been set in advance, and it exploded brutally when it was almost flying out of the atmosphere. The blast greatly disturbed his evasion, allowing the following three cannonballs to penetrate into his flagship one after another. Three deafening explosions, like a series of thunders, echoed in the front, middle, and rear parts of the flagship at the same time. The sky was immediately dyed red by the fireballs, only to be blackened by the intense smoke!
In the picture of communication, Dongfang Lei was completely consumed by the blast and the flames before he even had the chance to scream!
Despite the cruelty of the bombardment, Lei Chenghu did not let go of the flagship of the Godly Might Fleet that had been reduced to debris. He commanded Yun Chenghua to concentrate all the firepower on the ground, even including the single weapons of the spiritual puppets and the ground troops, to barrage the fireball in the sky crazily.
For a moment, ten thousand gold lines were blossoming in the sky and on the ground at the same time. The barrage almost dazzled everyone’s eyes.
The spiritual energy of the Godly Might Prison went completely dry. Even the lights in the control center were flashing.
The flagship of the Godly Might Fleet had broken apart and fell to the snow in billions of burning pieces, thawing the snow into thick, rising pillars of smoke that looked like a splendid gray forest.
All the starships of the Godly Might Fleet, as well the soldiers on board, saw the scene where their flagship was destroyed with their own eyes.
For a moment, the whole world and even time itself seemed to be frozen by the everlasting snow. On all the starships, all of them, from the captains to the common soldiers in the engine compartment, was dumbfounded!

The Heaven Battering Cannons are broken. The whole anti-air fire net and the internal defense system are down too!

Yun Chenghua gnashed his teeth and said,
The bombardment just now intensified the burden on the energy supply bases. Whatever left of the few reactors has been wasted too. We won’t be able to launch a single cannonball to the sky in the next three hours!


That’s alright. Continue locking onto all the starships in the sky and sending the signals out without disguise to show them that we have aimed at them accurately. Then, connect to the public channel of the fleet. I would like to speak to all the soldiers of the Godly Might Fleet.

Lei Chenghu cleaned himself with his remaining right hand as the enormous light beam before him was dissected into almost a hundred sections, in which the picture of the bridges of almost a hundred starships was displayed.
Naturally, the bridges were teeming with the pale, confused soldiers of the Godly Might Fleet, who were even more panicked when they heard the sound of weapons aiming at them.
Seeing
God of War
Lei Chenghu all of a sudden, most of the captains and advisors were greatly shocked, and even more confused about what was going on.

Brothers of the Godly Might Fleet, I am Lei Chenghu. I’m sorry that I blew up your flagship the moment we met, causing the deaths of countless innocent brothers.

Frowning hard, Lei Chenghu announced solemnly,
However, I had no choice, because the Godly Might Prison is at the most perilous moment!

The spies of the Covenant Alliance had long snuck into the Godly Might Prison and the Godly Might Fleet. They were carrying out the greatest prison break in the history of the Imperium. The underground volcanoes were detonated, and half of the Godly Might Prison was already destroyed!

The Covenant Alliance’s operation went so well because their spies had infiltrated your heart and your brain. Your highest commander, as well as a large batch of captains and advisors, was a spy of the Covenant Alliance, or had been brainwashed and controlled by them!

Should you land, the spies of the Covenant Alliance would’ve joined the captives below the ground and killed all of you, before they seized your starships and ran away. That was their plan!

I was entrusted with the mission to crack the enemy’s plan in the emergency, but I was one step too late. So, I had to destroy the flagship that was completely controlled by the Covenant Alliance, although there must’ve been our own brothers who knew nothing of the matter. I didn’t have a choice!

Have you detected massive objects jumping out from behind? That is the main force of the Astounding Thunder Fleet, which has come to suppress the prison break. There is no need to panic. The reinforcements have arrived. The Godly Might Prison is still in our hands!

I announce now that the Godly Might Fleet is officially under my command from this second. To prevent the spies of the Covenant Alliance who have snuck into the fleet from further sabotages or suicide attacks, all the starships shall cancel the spiritual shields and descend to one hundred meters from the ground in three minutes!

I repeat. In three minutes, all the starships that are not controlled by the Covenant Alliance but still loyal to the Imperium will cancel the spiritual shields, descend to one hundred meters from the ground, and wait for the reinforcements!

Three minutes later, the starships that have not canceled the spiritual shield and descended to the altitude of a hundred meters will be regarded as rebellious starships controlled by the spies of the Covenant Alliance. They will be destroyed without any mercy by the anti-air fire net and the soon-to-arrive Astounding Thunder Fleet like Dongfang Lei’s flagship!

In the meantime, everybody on the bridge, watch your surroundings closely. It is very possible that the spies of the Covenant Alliance are lurking next to you! I authorize you to take any action necessary to those around you to descend the starship to the altitude of one hundred meters. As long as you find a spy of the Covenant Alliance, you will be duly awarded after the battle!

Brothers of the Godly Might Fleet, please trust me that I do not want to fight any of you. However… war tolerates no mercy!

You have only three minutes. All the starships staying at high altitude in three minutes will end up exactly like Dongfang Lei’s flagship!’
