Bai Zhongqi scratched his head, feeling that the matter was really complicated. However, he had figured out the essence of the game and the Supreme Command. The original Supreme Command was like a blank sheet of paper; he needed to give it to himself from a few years ago in order to keep the closed loop going. The key in his hand pointed to the First Universe timeline after R19 departed from Iridium Star; if he could activate that point in time, he would be able to lead the millions of warships of the United Empire out of there.
"But I still can't activate the subsequent space-time points of the First Universe. Hmm, is it because I haven't finished my business in the First Universe five thousand years ago?" he guessed, but he was no longer in a hurry now.
After he sent off the original Supreme Command, he would be left with only the key. He could keep trying to open that time point, to go to the subsequent space-time of the First Universe. Then he would lead the fleet out, of course, making another adjustment when entering the Second Universe. But with the Mother Ship of the Elder Race, this adjustment would not be a problem. By then, Bai Zhongqi anticipated that he might create a brand new Supreme Command.
"Apart from the Supreme Command, I still have Zero's Enslaved Beast to use," Bai Zhongqi said with a smile to Zero.
Zero didn't know what Bai Zhongqi was thinking about or busying himself with, but seeing that he had figured it out, she was also very happy.
"Chancellor, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders," she said with a sweet smile.
"That's right, we're about to leave this place."
Zero didn't ask too much, saying, "Wherever you go, I will follow. It doesn't matter where that is."
"However, Chancellor, we should go out and take care of the situation outside. The Dragon Clan turned out to be stronger than we imagined."
Bai Zhongqi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, after this is done, we can almost leave."
At this moment, around the altar, Zang Murenqing and the other Knights of Destiny, leading the Yimoduoya humans and the Enslaved Beasts, were fighting desperately against the Dragon Clan.
The sky was filled with enormously large dragons, their sheer size alone was terrifying. Not to mention, these dragons had thick hides, most of them shielded, almost like some space warships.
The destructive power of the Dragon Clan was also extremely potent. Their Dragon Breath, once expelled, could wipe out a swath of warriors on the ground.
However, humanity did not collapse. The Destiny Artifacts in the hands of the Twelve Knights of Destiny were the most dazzling weapons on the battlefield.
Zang Murenqing waved his banner, gold light enveloping the Cannon Beasts on the ground; cannons that couldn't pierce the dragons' hides before were now greatly empowered, directly penetrating some of the Giant Dragons' shields and bringing them down from the sky.
Gang Naj brandished his long spear, able to leap hundreds of meters into the air with a single bound, striking with all his might. Any hit would pierce through the body of a Giant Dragon.
Xu Erli's shield kept enlarging, protecting the warriors from the Dragon Clan's breath.
It was precisely because of the valorous fighting of the twelve Knights that humans still held hope, believing they could win. Moreover, Zang Murenqing had informed them before the battle that the Chancellor was holding back an Ultimate Move, and as long as they could hold off the Dragon Clan, victory was assured today.
But the battle had raged for six hours, the twelve Knights of Destiny were now covered in blood, unable to fly any longer. After making a move, they would land on the ground, gasping for breath.
Despite the Dragon Clan's numbers also noticeably declining, such a battle left the Giant Dragons both shocked and enraged.
The Dragon Commander roared from the sky, "Humans, you have thoroughly enraged the Dragon God. The Dragon Clan will exterminate every human on this planet until none are left. Your folly will lead to the extinction of humanity on this planet."
Gang Naj smacked a Giant Dragon with the Imperial Seal, repelling it, and shouted back defiantly, "Dream on! It's your Dragon Clan that's finished today. As soon as our teacher comes out, we will surely defeat you completely."
The Dragon Commander scoffed, "Humans are the weakest creatures after all. Even the most powerful dragon slayer wielding some simple yet forceful weapons can hardly compare to the dragons' naturally gifted physical conditions. Dragons are born war gods; humans only need to grow up to provide food for the dragon horde. Thinking of rebelling, huh? That's the most naive thing I've ever seen."
"All talk and no action, more words are useless!"
The Dragon Blood Archer, Mokyo Bow Knight Avi, was the most desperate in battle. With the Destiny Artifact in hand, he was no longer under the instinctual control of the dragons. Now, this Knight of Destiny was seeing red as he drew his powerful bow, continuously firing Broad Arrows. Although they were not as powerful as the spear of Maudie Tianba, they made up in range and were extremely tricky, even capable of turning corners.
Avi's Mokyo Bow had already taken down more than a dozen giant dragons, provoking a mass attack from the horde. It was only with the cover of the other Knights and the army that he was able to retreat.
Already, more than twenty percent of the soldiers, both human and enslaved beasts, had fallen, with the survivors all bearing wounds. The human army's formation was in shambles, and the dragon horde was concentrating its attack on what they perceived as the threatening enslaved beast weapons, which by now were almost entirely gone.
And in this most difficult time, the dragon horde dropped the final straw.
The Warship Dragon descended slowly from the outer atmosphere. This largest and most terrifying type of dragon wielded attacks that could flatten everything on the ground. With a body length of tens of thousands of meters and even a space within that carried supplies, its Dragon Breath was comparable to the main cannon of a warship, and furthermore, the Warship Dragon could shoot missiles from multiple points on its body, just like a warship.
This was the ultimate weapon of the Dragon Clan; all the Knights of Destiny knew that the Warship Dragon was the last thing they wanted to face and the most fearsome enemy in the dragon horde.
Zang Murenqing's hand holding the flag standard was trembling slightly.
Like a warship's main cannon firing, the intense light erupted from the Warship Dragon, and Zang Murenqing closed his eyes. This strike announced their fate.
"Teacher, avenge us," Zang Murenqing silently prayed.
However, a few seconds later, he realized nothing had happened.
He opened his eyes and to his shock, a pale aqua Shield had appeared above the human army, blocking the Warship Dragon's attack.
"Teacher!" Zang Murenqing exclaimed excitedly.
There stood Bai Zhongqi, dressed in white Chancellor attire, on top of the Altar with one hand behind his back, looking aloofly towards the sky, he said indifferently, "I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to waste with these reptiles."
He gestured with his hand, and the massive Ruins on the ground began to rise slowly. Artillery doors opened one after another across the flat expanse, and thousands of huge cannons aimed into the sky.
The giant dragons circling in the sky, upon seeing this, screeched in terror like frightened birds at the sight.
"What in the world is this?!" the Dragon Army Commander howled.
Bai Zhongqi stretched out his index finger, pointing towards the sky.
The Mother Ship hovering midair fired ten thousand beams of light; the largest of the main cannons shot through the belly of the gigantic Warship Dragon, leaving a hole tens of meters wide. The other Flying Dragons, caught in the barrage, were either vaporized instantly or shot down, with not a single one spared.
When the light subsided, the dragons in the sky fell like mosquitoes sprayed with insecticide, not a single one left alive.
Zang Murenqing and the others were so stunned that they couldn't even follow up with their joy. What level of attack was this, that had annihilated the dragon horde that had ravaged Yimoduoya for who knows how many years, with just a single strike?
