844 Shocking Change!
The instant that the alarms went off in Planet Lighthouse, more than three million Fallen Ark battleships appeared near the security periter in a long, stretched-out formation.
In the flagship, EsGod’s subordinate Fakisen was looking at the star map, and the distance between them and Planet Lighthouse was rapidly shrinking.
“Boss, we have already entered the security periter of Planet Lighthouse. The radar shows that the nearby dynasty fleet is heading our way and will exchange fire with us soon.”
Fakisen used his long tongue to scratch the back of his neck as he spoke.
“Try to speed up. Do not get tied down by them,” EsGod said calmly. This ti, his main body had made an appearance.
Fakisen swung his tongue around and said, “Even though we are working together, the Arcane Church still has their guard up against us. Not only did they not reveal their exact plans, they even changed the location of their secret stargate. They are obviously guarding against us, and who knows when they will take action and from which direction?”
EsGod was not too bothered; it was perfectly normal for them to guard against each other. It was just like how he would not inform the Arcane Church of where his secret stargate was located.
With Planet Lighthouse at the center, the security periter around the planet was extrely large, and the dynasty had sufficient ti to mobilize their troops the mont an enemy was spotted. Thus, EsGod could guess what the Arcane Church’s intention was even if they kept it confidential.
They obviously wanted him to be the vanguard, and the size of his troops was not sufficient to get the dynasty to abandon their Planet Lighthouse outpost. By the ti he fought his way to Planet Lighthouse and tied down Black Star and the two other Beyond Grade A Supers, the Arcane Church would take action.
EsGod felt that his guess was definitely not too far from the truth, and the only thing that he was not sure about was how many high level combatants the Arcane Church had sent out this ti.
The dynasty had three Beyond Grade A, and Milizaus’ strength could almost equal his own. If that was the case, the Arcane Church only needed to send out manpower to deal with Black Star and Beyoni.
Black Star and Beyoni were still a distance away from a top notch Beyond Grade A Super, and it should be sufficient for the Arcane Church to send out four Beyond Grade A Supers.
I wonder who the Arcane Church will send out this ti...
EsGod narrowed his eyes. If the Arcane Church sent out too powerful a line up, he would have to be careful as well.
Right at this mont, the dynasty’s fleet arrived and appeared on their radar.
Fakisen looked at EsGod, and upon seeing that his boss did not have any intentions of saying anything, he ordered on behalf of EsGod, “All weapons free! Destroy all the battleships in our way!”
...
Planet Lighthouse had already entered high alert, and the three Beyond Grade A Supers entered the command room together with Tarrokov.
A large number of military personnel were gathered in the room with plenty of ssages being sent back from the battlefield. Tarrokov stood in front of the 3D battlefield model with a solemn expression.
The scene being shown on the battlefield was the battle between the Fallen Ark fleet and the dynasty’s fleet. The battleships of both parties had been shrunk down many tis to completely simulate the battlefield environnt. It was as though two mini fleets were battling it out in front of everyone’s eyes.
“The enemy fleet has about 3,200,000 battleships. An organization capable of sending a fleet of such a size to the Flickering World is definitely a powerful one. We cannot see the origins of the fleet from the models of the spaceships,” a staff sergeant said. “The highest possibility is the Arcane Church.”
As he said that, Tarrokov turned around to look at Han Xiao and said, “However, they may also belong to other organizations.”
Han Xiao noticed his gaze and said without any hesitation, “They are from the Arcane Church.”
Tarrokov nodded slowly and said, “I understand.”
Although Han Xiao’s expression seed calm, his mood was low.
His words were not completely baseless as a notification popped up after the appearance of the fleet.

Han Xiao was shocked upon seeing the reward.
Twenty-four billion experience at the very least‽ The highest reward when he was fighting Heber was only 8.5 billion experience!
Even he felt that this was a huge sum of experience!
However, Han Xiao just could not find it in himself to be happy. The reward would correspond to the difficulty of the mission. With such a large reward, this ant that the strength of the Arcane Church would be extrely frightening! The reward of over forty-five billion ant that he had to face at least five Beyond Grade A Supers!
Just who would be able to survive‽
Although Han Xiao had already secretly hired help just to be safe, he could not help but have thoughts of retreating. At the sa ti, however, he was also extrely wary.
If he escaped through the stargate right now, he should be extrely safe. However, would it be so simple to complete a mission with a reward of twenty-four billion experience?
Perhaps the Arcane Church had so other ans that would make it easier for them to catch him if he escaped alone.
He was currently being surrounded by many layers of defense and was still considered safe. Furthermore, the dynasty would not think too highly of him if he escaped the mont he t an enemy. After pondering for a mont, Han Xiao did not make any rash moves but arrived at the command room together with Tarrokov.
Since they had a sufficiently large buffer zone, it would not be too late for him to decide to run after observing the battle.
The na of the mission is [Cause and Effect]. Heh, a Universal Treasure truly isn’t that easy to take.
However, all those present did not know what he was thinking about.
Tarrokov observed the changes in the battlefield and issued a command.
“Inform all our Beyond Grade A allies to return imdiately.”
Upon hearing that, Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled, and he nodded.
Tarrokov had obviously noticed sothing, and this chief commander truly had foresight.
There were still another three Beyond Grade A Supers in the Flickering World: Heber, Ravenlaude and another chanic who was called Maximiler. If they all returned, there would be six Beyond Grade A present, and they would not have to be afraid of the enemy.
Without knowing how many high-level combatants the Arcane Church had, Tarrokov did not mind being on the safe side. Even if his actions were deed unnecessary after this battle, it would be better than regretting his inaction.
“Our fleet has sent a ssage for reinforcents. They won’t be able to hold the enemy back. Chief commander, are we going to send the security fleet from the other regions to support them?”
Tarrokov observed the battle for a mont before saying, “Only mobilize the security fleet in that direction. Do not move the other fleets in the other directions. The remaining reinforcent troops shall be sent from Planet Lighthouse.”
Beyoni could not help but be surprised by the order. “It will take quite so ti to send out troops from our base. The enemy fleet will then be able to close the gap quickly. Why don’t you mobilize the troops on the outside instead?”
“The enemy doesn’t have any insignia and chose to attack our security periter alone,” Tarrokov replied with a deep voice. “I think that this isn’t the Arcane Church’s main force but a vanguard force. Their objective is to tie down our defense force on the security periter and create a gap in our formation. Their main force will then break through our defenses, and we will have to face a pincer attack. This should be the Arcane Church’s tactic.”
Upon hearing the explanation of the chief commander and looking at the battlefield, everyone had to admit that it was likely for the enemy to employ such a strategy. Since Tarrokov had seen through their plans, his thod of dealing with it was not too bad.
“However, this is only a temporary asure. We need intelligence on how many Beyond Grade A combatants this fleet has.”
Tarrokov then looked at the three people with his intentions obvious. Only soone at the sa level would be able to force the enemy out.
“Hand it over to my long-distance troops.”
Han Xiao nodded. Since he was the enemy’s target and a key character of this battle, it would not be good for the three of them to split up at such a ti.
The long-distance troops that he had sent out would also show their use.
...
“What? Planet Lighthouse was attacked‽”
The Bloodshed Land troops that were currently in Renault received news from Jorde and could not help but be surprised.
“The enemy is the Arcane Church, and their target is Black Star. Chief commander Tarrokov asked us to return to reinforce them... Your Excellency Tyrant, what should we do?” Jorde asked carefully.
Heber began to frown. He did not wish to help Black Star. However, he suddenly thought about sothing, and his brows relaxed.
“Since it is the dynasty’s orders, we shall return to reinforce them. Inform my troops to head to the nearest stargate at full speed!”
Heber’s fleet then turned around and headed to Planet Lighthouse at full speed.
Although Han Xiao and he had so conflicts, this matter concerned the pride of the dynasty. As a mber of the dynasty, defending the dynasty was compatible with his own benefits.
In the Garu Star Cluster, Ravenlaude also received Tarrokov’s request for reinforcents.
Black Star’s death had nothing to do with him, and he would rather have one less competitor.
However, it was a pity that his organization was located in the Central Galaxy, and he needed to rely on the dynasty.
Such a small matter was not worth disobeying the dynasty’s orders, so he could only lead his troops over.
Very quickly, he realized a very frustrating matter. Black Star had constructed a stargate in the Garu Star Cluster, which ant that he could arrive at Planet Lighthouse rapidly and did not have any excuse to delay.
Right at this mont, Ravenlaude suddenly realized sothing.
Could it be that Black Star had constructed the long distance stargate because he knew that sothing like this would happen‽
That’s right. This must definitely be the case. If not, I can’t think of another reason why Black Star would sacrifice his own benefits to construct a long distance stargate.
Ravenlaude finally understood Black Star’s ‘true goal’. To think that he was still laughing at the other party’s thoughts before this. Even if his skin was not too thick, he could not help but feel a little embarrassed at this mont.
...
EsGod’s fleet gradually entered the core of the security periter and battled the dynasty’s fleet along the way with the battle line being dragged out.
The dynasty’s fleet stabilized the space along the way, and neither party could enter hyperdrive. EsGod’s fleet was slowed down inevitably and continued to be harassed along the way.
Millions of battleships exchanged fire, and a large intergalactic war exploded.
Laser beams of different colors flew in all directions and lit up the pitch-black space. The explosions of the battleships beca fireworks in the universe.
There was a special fleet in the battlefield that was the long-distance force that Han Xiao had sent out. The fleet weaved around the formation of the Fallen Ark fleet like a flock of crows.
This chanical fleet had more than a hundred thousand chanical soldiers, and they were all boosted by his chanical Force. Their attributes were boosted and could achieve the strength of a Beyond Grade A Super.
Energy explosion!
Another three enemy spaceships were destroyed, and the chanical army was about to find their next target. Right at this mont, a dark red energy pillar swept past the explosion and smashed right into the chanical army, swallowing almost half of the troops.
After the pillar of light disappeared, the chanical soldiers that were hit by it had been reduced to scrap.
Han Xiao’s eyes narrowed upon witnessing such a scene.
“An enemy Beyond Grade A Super has taken action! This isn’t an ordinary individual...”
Han Xiao looked in the direction of the attack through the viewpoint of his army. He wanted to see who the enemy was, and EsGod’s figure appeared in his sights.
The next mont, Tarrokov, Milizaus, and Beyoni saw Han Xiao’s expression change greatly.
“Did you see who the enemy is?” Tarrokov asked.
Han Xiao let out a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, “It’s actually... EsGod! It’s his main body!”
Everyone was stunned for a mont.
“Isn’t the enemy the Arcane Church? Why would EsGod be here‽”
Beyoni was truly shaken. Because he had personally fought EsGod before, he was extrely clear about his strength.
Tarrokov’s expression grew solemn. “The Arcane Church must have provided aid to EsGod and gotten him to leave the Central Galaxy. Dammit! To think that they would work together with such a character for the Evolution Cube!”
EsGod’s combat strength was famous throughout the universe, but this ti, they also had a top-notch Beyond Grade A Super on their side.
Milizaus shook his head and said, “I’ve fought EsGod many tis before, and holding him back won’t be a problem. However, I won’t be able to be distracted when fighting him, and I won’t be able to do anything else.
“Apart from EsGod, the Arcane Church will definitely send out other high-level combatants, and the situation is not to our advantage. Chief commander, what are your thoughts?”
Upon hearing that, Tarrokov fell into deep thought.
The enemy had a single EsGod and a few million battleships on the surface, and they would definitely have three Beyond Grade A Supers and even more battleships being hidden for sure.
On his side, they had three Beyond Grade A Supers and around four million battleships guarding Planet Lighthouse. Their strength was definitely on the losing side, but they would be able to stall for ti with the huge buffer zone for their security periter. Furthermore, the dynasty had more troops in this Star Field, and they were currently rushing over from various regions.
Tarrokov was currently considering whether he should retreat imdiately or wait for reinforcents to arrive.
The enemy’s target was Black Star, and if they chose to retreat, they should be able to protect Black Star. However, the dynasty’s outpost would definitely be destroyed by the enemy if it was not guarded. Losing the resources was secondary, but they would definitely have to close up their stargate if they did not want to let it fall into enemy hands. If that was the case, the dynasty would temporarily lose the core of their transportation network, and their mobility would be greatly affected.
Upon thinking about that, he then took a look at the battlefield again. Apart from the dynasty’s troops that were facing EsGod, the other troops were currently awaiting their orders and keeping their guard up in their respective regions.
He had even sent out a portion of the fleet stationed on Planet Lighthouse as a quick response force to prevent another enemy force from launching an ambush.
After thinking for a mont, Tarrokov let out a long sigh and said with a deep voice, “Although the situation isn’t good, we have the ability to hold on. Let’s try to stall for ti. When the reinforcents arrive, we will be...”
Woo!
Before he could even finish, an ear-piercing alarm went off in the command room.
“Alert! Alert! Detecting an odd spaceti disturbance outside the planet! Spaceti is being shifted to form a wormhole!”
“Wormhole? Transportation gate?”
Tarrokov had a face full of shock; the appearance of a wormhole was truly out of his expectations. It was not because he did not have any preparations. With the Crimson Dynasty’s technological skills, they would definitely install appropriate equipnt to cut off any long-distance transportation, and it was impossible for the Arcane Church not to know about this.
He did not understand why the Arcane Church would make such a pointless attempt!
Right outside the atmosphere of Planet Lighthouse, space seed to have been folded. This was the sign of a wormhole appearing. The forces stationed on Planet Lighthouse also made an appropriate response. They imdiately triggered the space stabilizing equipnt to disrupt the formation of the wormhole. This would work regardless of whether the other party was using magic or technology.
However, the scene that followed truly shocked everyone. Their infallible anti-wormhole equipnt was useless. Space continued to fold, but the wormhole did not appear imdiately, and a strange scene occurred.
A hazy appearance of battleships appeared outside the atmosphere like an illusion.
Just when everyone was still in a daze, the next mont, the folds in space suddenly flattened out, and these hazy figures beca solid. In the blink of an eye, the illusion beca reality!
This fleet contained a few million Arcane Church spaceships with the famous Butterfly Flagship!
In that instant, a few million spaceships descended upon Planet Lighthouse!
They had ignored the security periter of Planet Lighthouse, and the defenses of Planet Lighthouse had weakened because they had sent out a portion of their fleet. This was the Arcane Church’s true strategy.
Tarrokov suddenly seed to have thought about sothing, and his expression changed abruptly.
“This isn’t wormhole transportation. Only the strategic Universal Treasure of the Federation of Light, [Multi-Dinsional Sky Opening Transportation Device], has such an effect!”
“The Arcane Church actually joined hands with the Federation of Light‽”
