Chapter 1168: A Tough Battle

lect real-time data."Little uncle, is this okay"Ripple had also expressed confusion at the time.Of course, you're helping me test it. How else would I know what problems the mecha hasDu Zi Feng smiled...When the ripples carrying the whirlwind arrived at the command room, everyone was busy. Data scrolled rapidly on the screen before them, and lines of instructions were sent out at lightning speed.

Major Quinn, Lieutenant He Lianyi has arrived for duty.

Ripples came to Quinn's side and bowed.

"You've arrived just in time, the third spaceship has already self-destructed. This is their last transmission."

Quinn sent the message to Ripple's AI.

The ripples made Xiao Liu open it, and after a cursory glance, he sighed.

The third spaceship was the reconnaissance vessel that had been missing the longest. All three of their ships did successfully infiltrate the Octarvis people's migrating fleet.

But among them, there was a female soldier who had a star beast named Dream Butterfly. Compared to attack-type star beasts, this one could only be classified as a pet or a viewing type.

However, the Dream Butterfly can send enemies into an instant illusion through the powder on its wings. As soon as this Dream Butterfly boarded the Okotevis star cruiser, it realized something was wrong. After flapping its wings, the pink powder on its wings could tag consciousnesses, which made the Third Fleet realize something was amiss.

Then the two sides engaged in battle. However, facing enemies they had never fought before, and these enemies being intangible and formless, they suffered losses. Some were successfully invaded by consciousnesses, and then comrades turned against each other, killing one another.

As the female soldier who possessed the butterfly escaped back to the spaceship, she was informed by her star beast that the entire spaceship was already filled with consciousnesses, waiting to invade the alliance after returning.

The female soldier couldn't do anything; she had to take the message back, so she feigned ignorance and immediately activated the ship to leave. Then, after writing down what had happened, she sent it out after the third spatial jump was completed.

Then she activated the spaceship's self-destruct system. To prevent herself from being invaded and controlled by the consciousness, she stopped the self-destruction and had Butterfly protect her. In the end, even Dream Butterfly perished along with its master, reduced to dust.

"Rowley's message is crucial; it proves at least that the entire Ocoteves starfleet has become a carrier of consciousness. There is no need for the Alliance to negotiate; there is only one path: to stop the enemy."

Major Quinn, having read the ripples' message, spoke directly.

"Yes, and this further proves that some Star Beasts can see consciousness bodies. My cyclone is an offensive type Star Beast, Lieutenant Rolene's Dream Butterfly is a low-attack type Star Beast. This can serve as a reference, after all, only by seeing where the enemy is can we launch an attack."

Ripple also shared her thoughts.

"The message has been sent to the extraterrestrial research department. Currently, all members of the Star Beast Squad have gone to the research spaceship to cooperate with their research. The more star beasts that can see the enemy, the greater our chances of winning."

Quinn is still relatively optimistic.

"Colonel Quinn, if there's nothing further needed here, I'll return to the First Legion's lines. We have a tough fight coming up."

"Alright, you can go back now! See you on the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

After the mission ended, Ripple went to see Xiongjian and bid farewell to him. She told him everything she knew about the weaknesses of the consciousness body, warning him not to take it lightly, before driving her spaceship back to the XZ9 defense line.

When Ripples first met Thomas, she briefed him on the mission and its completion status. Then, she volunteered to join the Star Beast Squad.

"As the commander, it is normal to stay on the flagship."

Thomas said with some disapproval.

“I used to think the same way, but this time the enemy is special. I don't want our consciousnesses to be breached when we fight the Oktovisians. I will lead the Beast Squad as the third line of defense and guard our front.”

Ripples spoke solemnly.

"Okay, I'll put the entire Star Beast Corps under your command."

Thomas pondered for a moment before issuing his command directly.

"Yes, I guarantee to hold the line."

Ripple took the order and immediately headed to the spaceship where the Star Beast Squadron was located. She gathered the 20,000-strong Star Beast troops on their defensive line. Whirlwind went to communicate with them, while she was responsible for communicating with the masters of the Star Beasts.

The next day at noon, the XZ9 frontline was once again attacked by the Oktevians. This time, they were truly enraged and even brought along warriors from the Alliance to perish together.

Ripples stared at the fierce battle ahead, her brows furrowed tightly. She immediately deployed the Star Beast Squad on the third defensive line, with Cyclone responsible for relaying orders to all the star beasts. Ripples commanded everyone to prepare for battle.

Half a day later, an Ocothvis starfighter, impervious to all resistance, piloted a mecha and breached the third line of defense.

Ripples used the Thunder attribute ability, with one move "Heaven and Earth Net" he blasted an Okteviss soldier from the Fearless Assault Corps into charcoal. Just to be safe, he also threw a blast of hellfire.

"Master, no consciousness entity detected at this time."

The typhoon gave its first response immediately.

Another group of Okotevsians was ambushed by a defending Alliance officer in another location and rendered combat ineffective. Because of their existence as consciousnesses, they made no prisoners this time, simply slaughtering anyone who stood in their path as they stormed the defenses.

The battle lasted for a whole day and night, and in the end, the Ocktovis star people suffered losses of 60%, forced to retreat unwillingly.

While XZ9 was cleaning up the battlefield, a problem arose at WYB1. A warship rammed the defenses in a suicide attack, breaking through the first two layers of protection. Even after being hit by particle cannons, it relentlessly charged at the last line of defense.

"Lieutenant He Lianyi, we need your support here. A Star Beast has been detected with a conscious entity. High-level psychics are on high alert and defending against the attack on the entity, but without your fire-based abilities, we are ineffective."

Xiong Jian immediately sent a message to Lian Yi.

"I'll be there soon."

After Ripple reported to Thomas, she rode off on Whirlwind.

This time, the ripples directly tore through space and appeared on the Second Army's frontline in the shortest amount of time.

The appearance of the ripples immediately startled Major Quinn.

"Who appeared on the third line of defense Put it on the main screen." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!

"Huh Isn't that Lieutenant He Lianyi"

Someone immediately recognized the ripples, after all, they had only come here to support them two days ago.

"Connect with Principal He."

Major Quinn spoke immediately.

"Yes, connecting with Major! Interference detected, unable to connect."

The lieutenant responded immediately.

"Look, that's He Xiaochang's fire-based ability!"

Someone exclaimed excitedly.

All eyes were immediately drawn to the main screen.

The moment ripples appeared, the whirlwind opened its mouth and emitted a sonic wave. Its form rapidly enlarged, and in an instant, it swung its claws, strangling a circle of surrounding entities to death.

"Master, there are many consciousnesses here, attacking the defenses. The mental warriors are fighting both to defend and to kill the consciousnesses, they are already starting to run out of energy."

The golden eye of the whirlwind flashed, and it immediately transmitted its voice.

"I understand."

The ripples also released their divine consciousness, and at the same time, she flipped her palm. Two red lotus業 fire emerged from her palm, and in the next second, they spread throughout the entire defense line like flames falling into hot oil.ntroduced into the game by his unscrupulous younger brother at the banquet.
