The content of the order was concise yet brutal: the Torch Civilization Fleet was to imdiately take over the frontline main force position, replacing the heavily damaged Titan Flank Legion, and maintain the offensive against the core passage of the Molten Hell Abyss, without any errors.
The mont the order was issued, the Torch Fleet command center fell into a deathly silence.
The avatars of the four Human Emperors—Jiang Yuan, Ying Yi, Ji Heng, Ferdinand—and a strand of consciousness from Song Chi, who was far away in the Ancestral Domain but could still perceive the situation here, all fell into silence.
Discontent, anger, helplessness... various emotions interwove in their hearts.
Everyone knew what the so-called "main force position" ant in this at-grinder-like frontline.
It ant throwing the civilization’s most core fleet into the highest mortality frontal assault, it ant the forces preserved cautiously over thousands of years were likely to be consud in a very short ti. Even the formidable Titan Flank Legion was damaged and required rotation; the consequences for the Torch Fleet taking their place could be easily imagined.
This was blatant strategic manipulation, a "reasonable" consumption imposed by the Transcendent Civilizations upon lesser forces.
Though the Torch Civilization was a new overlord in the Shattered Starry Sea, with limitless potential, in the eyes of the transcendent existences like the Sky-splitting God King, Eternal Ancestor, Source Star God Master, and Mother of Ten Thousand Machines, lacking their own transcenders backing them, they ultimately lagged behind.
In this war concerning the fate of the entire Starry Sea, yet intertwined with top-level civilization gambits, such "new aristocrats" like them were often placed in the most dangerous and cruel positions.
"We have no choice..." Emperor Jiang Yuan’s avatar slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness. His Immortal Ship avatar, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship, was already marked with scorch marks from confrontation with the Fla Demon Lord.
The Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon under Emperor Ying Yi’s control exuded a cold killing intent but ultimately only transford into a cold snort.
No one dared to refuse?
Because if they showed disobedience, they might imdiately be branded with accusations of "desertion in battle" or "undermining the Alliance Army," without the need for the Abyss to act. The four Transcendent Civilizations would first crush this Expedition Fleet to set an example.
"Execute the order." Ji Heng’s tone was calm, but the slightly trembling hull of the Profound Yellow Red Yu revealed his inner unrest.
Ferdinand silently nodded as well, and under his Heavenly Light Ship, it began to gather Holy Energy in preparation for the impending bloody battle.
Far in the Ancestral Domain, Song Chi’s consciousness perceived all this, his heart heavy as well.
But at this mont, most of his Spiritual essence was focused on his own breakthrough, unable to spare attention, he could only convey his worry and resolve through an ethereal connection to the frontline.
"Command the entire army!" Emperor Jiang Yuan’s avatar’s voice echoed through the Torch Network, resounding in every Torch Warship Captain’s mind, "Advance the front lines, take over the Titan Legion’s defense zone, this battle concerns the survival of our civilization, everyone must... fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The tragic and resolute echo reverberated in the fleet channel.
Although their hearts were filled with indignation against unfair treatnt and fear for the future, no Torch Captain retreated.
They knew very well that from the mont they embarked on the expedition, their personal life and death had long been tied to the fate of civilization.
In the next mont, the massive Torch Fleet began to advance as a whole, five Mythical Immortal Ship avatars exuding mighty divine power leading the large fleet, tempered by thousands of years of war baptism, although reduced but still elite, resolutely headed towards the fiery sea of the Molten Hell that had devoured countless lives.
There, the hideous Fla Demons, frenzied Demons, and eerily twisted Demonized Buddha Soldiers prepared to welco this new "prey" with their bloodthirsty gaze.
The Torch Civilization Expedition Fleet was about to face the most brutal and perilous battle since their departure.
