Chapter 2528 - 9: Official Counterattack Begins (1)

"The gentleman gave us several of these subspace artifacts, they should be useful."

"Heh, if you’ve already guessed his identity and still doubt him, I can only say you’re a fool."

These two Stellar Class Junior Strong Ones are the most formidable top-tier existences in this fleet. They observe the soldiers’ morale while chatting with each other.

In the upcoming war, these two Stellar Class Junior existences have to face three Stellar Middle Level, five Stellar Class Junior—quadruple the number of existences. Even with their joint tactics, it’s extremely perilous; they might be annihilated by the enemy’s three Stellar Middle Level in an instant.

After all, the joint Yin Yang Path requires at least three people to significantly boost combat power.

Moreover, the enemy is at Stellar Middle Level, much stronger than Stellar Class Junior. Even if they joined forces, they’d only manage to tie with a single Stellar Middle Level existence.

But now we’re dealing with three Stellar Middle Levels.

The seemingly suicidal war is transformed into a source of surprise and delight for these two Stellar Class Junior existences, all because of the emergence of that ’sir’ the other day.

He brought several ’Yin Yang Paths’ and antimatter explosives hidden within subspace.

According to what he said, these antimatter explosives might not seem formidable, but they should make the upcoming war relatively easy. If used wisely, a bit might even remain afterward, serving as their secret weapons in the future.

Initially, these two Stellar Class Junior beings were puzzled by the sudden appearance of this being, whose strength seemed unimpressive yet felt like a terrifying abyss upon close examination; a mysterious and revered presence, hard to believe.

But when this being took out the antimatter from subspace, the two Stellar Strong Ones realized immediately.

This being’s identity is none other than the exalted ’Mosquito Patriarch,’ also Mister Jia Yan.

It must be his avatar.

Thus, these two Stellar Strong Ones cheerfully accepted the materials brought by Jia Yan’s avatar, as well as his request to deliver a lecture to the soldiers.

Once the lecture was completed, this avatar hurriedly left for his next destination.

After all, he was very busy.

"Alright, with these materials, they’ll indeed boost our combat power significantly. Now we’ll see in the war three days from now how they’ll help us."

"Haha, I hope those three days pass quickly. I used to fear time passing too fast, but now that we have a trump card, I want time to pass faster."

"You’re so eager for war merits, aren’t you? But these items are not simple artifacts. If we manage to save some, it’s best to do so. Didn’t that gentleman say? If we’re able to conserve them, they’ll certainly be our secret weapons in the future, as these are crafted by him, surely extremely formidable."

"Alright, that’s what I thought too, so in this war, we’ll avoid using these materials if possible, as our joint battle tactics are quite effective."

The two Stellar Class Junior beings intend to use the materials sparingly and save some for future emergencies.

This is precisely the effect the mysterious being wanted to achieve.

This being is naturally one of Jia Yan’s avatars.

In fact, he’s dispatched not just one avatar but at least a hundred, similar to the previous Biochemical Star Region battle.

After all, this isn’t combat; it’s deploying avatars to distribute subspace materials and communicate information. There’s no harm in spreading out one’s efforts.

Thus, Jia Yan swiftly uses hundreds of avatars to deliver ’antimatter’ power sourced from subspace at multiple locations.

These explosive antimatter materials were swiftly manufactured by Jia Yan recently. He was somewhat deceptive, as unused materials lose power over time. To prevent subordinates from flaunting power prematurely, he expressed kind intentions to encourage conservation.

"The delivery is complete; only less than a day remains before the commencement of the remaining war operations."

In subspace, a creature resembling a bull’s head completes its final target delivery.

Inside the vast Orion Arm, there are countless soldiers and fleets. Yet, with efforts from over a hundred avatars, the message is quickly delivered.

Jia Yan’s hundreds of avatars are hidden within subspace, silently awaiting the start of the conflict.

As time slowly passes, the clock quickly shifts to a point a day later.

Beep.

The clock chimes.

"It’s time."

"Prepare to commence operation ’Counterattack’. "

"Commence, counterattack!"

"The Great Counterattack of Orion’s Arm begins now!"

Fleets from various locations, soldiers from different areas, strong or weak members, suddenly become filled with battle spirit.

They’ve prepared long for this day.

They’ve anticipated the moment when Orion’s Arm shifts from passive to active.

And now, finally, the roles have reversed.

For the first and largest time, Orion Arm transforms from a weak, passive victim to an attacker.

"Attack!"

One battleship after another frenetically charges toward Orion Arm’s homeland, those areas occupied by the enemy.

"Here they come!"

"Haha, the Orion Arm fleet actually dares to counterattack?"

"They sure have guts! Though Orion Arm might soon lose, I admire their courage."

"Are they fools? We clearly expressed our strength, yet they dare to fight; these Orion Arm people are fearless of death."

"It’s one thing for one to be fearless, but the whole fleet is fearless, even the entire Orion’s Arm Army; that’s truly terrifying."

"If this army survives, they’ll be extremely fearsome in the future."

"We must wipe them out; they charge at us with such little strength, as if they’ve never faced death."

"Alright, Stellar Strong Ones should also make efforts. Though their power isn’t great, their cooperative tactics will definitely cause damage to our Stellars."

"Rest assured, at a stellar level, they’re much weaker. We can easily obliterate their Stellar Strong Ones to pieces."

"Deploy!"

Poof.

Across the Starry Sky, countless spots simultaneously explode into flames.

Both sides are ablaze.

Orion Arm approaches the enemy, but were they ever afraid to battle Orion Arm?

The speed of both sides rapidly closes in.

Boom boom boom.

From afar, numerous battlefields show both sides’ battleships, moving swiftly, drawing near each other.

The speed is so fast, there’s fear of collision.

But collision is impossible.

In each battlefield, the number of battleships reaches the tens of thousands. While it seems Orion Arm holds the absolute advantage, in reality, whether in terms of the quality of battleships or the number of strong beings, the Fifteen United Armies hold the edge.

This advantage is so significant, it makes one feel Orion Arm is impossible to win—even if it isn’t a mere illusion.

"It’s time, begin the offensive! Concentrate long-range fire and commence firing!"

Bang.

Within the interstellar space, the first salvo from both sides instantly erupts.

Then numerous artillery fire bursts forth simultaneously.

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!

Within the Starry Sky, radiant lights ignite like bright lamps, every battle group lit up by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of attack lights.

The counterattack of Orion Arm officially begins!
