Chapter 1752 The Surprise Attack
Chapter 1752 The Surprise Attack
Yet when the shields got brightened up by the constant attacks from the Soulers and Reapers, they finally noticed something wasn't right.
The enemy sent almost all of their small ships to rescue their entrapped comrades. They left close to ten thousand small ships behind, alongside a large number of big ships that were moving at slow speed.
"Thanks to your urgency and worry, you made my forces avoid the useless small ships for now…" Hye evilly grinned, as he knew the first loot he'd collect would be quite impressive.
He estimated to get around twenty big ships and a few hundred medium-sized ships in the first assault. Then he had to struggle against the rest of the fleet to secure the big guns there.
But right now he was about to take over a few hundred large ships, and thousands of medium-sized ones. This was by far a great start, almost taking away one-fourth of the entire fleet's high firepower.
Just before the enemies would grasp what was going on, Hye's warriors penetrated the shields and started a massacre. By the time they spread out warnings, asking everyone to start attacking these ships, things went bad as the attacked ships had their shields down, a sign that they lost everyone on board.
They thought the enemy planned to detonate the ships, or even control them. But weirdly enough, the moment these ships were cleared, the hostile weird forces flew out from them, and went towards more ships around.
It was best described like this: A surprise attack that turned everything into total chaos!
Such a move came out of their expectations, and by the time they thought of a way to respond, Hye's warriors managed to take control over lots of ships.
Then many started to vanish! Simply like they never existed before, leaving behind huge gaps in space, and leaving the other universe fleet leaders baffled.
Then another hit came! All of a sudden, many leaders went off, without a signal to get in contact. This only meant one thing, their ships got hit by Hye's warriors, and this was a glaring red signal to everyone.
The moment they lost contact with their comrades and colleagues, the remaining leaders started to spread out their orders. They gave the fleet one single command, retreat, regroup, and take down all the incoming enemies.
Hye expected that and yet he never stopped what he was doing. Instead, he gave Major one single and crazy order:
"Attack the small ships that are coming your way, take down as much as you can! Don't chase them, just take as many while you are positioned at your place!"
Hye could have ordered Major to follow and come hard at these folks, and yet he didn't. He could tell the nature of this enemy, as they seemed quite vigilant, and would never let anyone hitting them hard slip by.
So he didn't see any need to let Major break apart his encirclement and chase these small ships. It freed the other fleet, which was pressured all this time by Major and his men.
If that ever happened, then he'd exchange taking down hundreds of thousands of small ships in return for releasing tens of thousands of very angry fleets, one with lots of large ships.
The initial attack took down lots of these small ships. Hye timed his move to when the small ships were close to Major's fleet. And that made them close to their firing range, unable to break free without losing a tooth.
As things developed this way, the enemy acted the same way Hye expected. They called part of the fleet of small ships back while releasing the rest over Major.
The latter could tell this was coming his way even before the enemies leaders gave the order. And so he and his fleet were ready to welcome the incoming deadly charge.
The most important point to notice was that all of them were small ships, ones that wouldn't threaten Major's large and medium-sized ships that he ordered to move out and welcome the incoming enemies.
At the same time, he mobilised his small ships to keep the entrapped enemies busy. The move that the entrapped forces thought was going to help them break free ended up adding more pressure on them. As for their reinforcements, they didn't do much help thanks to the lack of big guns in the incoming fleet.
The larger ships were all entangled with Hye and his warriors. Hye kept taking more ships until the enemy started to blindly open fire.
Five days passed on the start of this massacre, and by the end of it, the new other universe forces retreated for tens of thousands of miles, while getting chased by Hye's warriors.
They couldn't get rid of these annoying ants, couldn't stop them from taking down more ships. As everything failed, they started to shoot, shooting their big guns all over space, even hitting their ships that got their shields down and emptied from all of their forces.
"Damn you! You are destroying my ships, fckers!" Hye shouted the moment he saw many ships explode, feeling more pain than ever from such a loss.
During the past five days, he gained tens of thousands of ships, including all sizes and models. He didn't get a single moment to check over his gains, as the space was literally filled with tens of thousands more ships to loot.
And yet when the big guns started to blindly fire, he was forced to retreat, find shelter at his big ship, defending himself from the deadly attacks coming using its shield.
"Come back!" when he looked around, he could see many of his Soulers and Reapers getting hit and killed by these deadly guns. So he didn't hesitate to call all of them back, and that gave the other side the chance to breathe.
"Hmph, you want to regroup, heal, recuperate, and be ready for the upcoming battle? Let me show you how futile all of this is…"
