Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

"Enemy attack!"

Air raid sirens sounded.

The expeditionary force and fringe space guerrillas waiting outside Earth were subjected to precise strikes from the fleet.

They called it an unknown fleet, but in reality, they just didn't recognize the markings on the fleet.

The fleet that suddenly launched the attack was none other than the Esmeralruda Expeditionary Force, which had been pursuing them all along!

On the fleet's flagship, Emeralna angrily gave the order: "These bastards dare to interfere with Lord Belial's plans! Open fire! Bomb them all down!"

After Amelana gave her order, the entire expeditionary force faithfully carried it out.

The fleet formed a semi-circle, blocking the Zero Expeditionary Force and the fringe space guerrillas within the solar system.

Three powerful capital ships, dispersed in three directions, led numerous cruisers and frigates, forming independent artillery positions.

Then countless cannons opened fire, unleashing their full firepower upon the enemy.

After the first wave of attacks, the three positions began to fire in turn, constantly compressing the operational space of the Zero Expeditionary Force and the Edge Universe Guerrilla Force.

As the artillery fire intensified, the Zero Expeditionary Force suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of frigates and cruisers being shot down.

The situation for the Edge Universe Guerrilla Forces wasn't much better; they had a larger fleet, and their losses were even greater under this round of bombardment.

The first round of fire alone cost them over a thousand ships!

This only accounts for the loss of the spaceship; it doesn't even include the enormous and countless casualties!

It's important to know that each spaceship carries approximately a thousand combat personnel. If the spaceship crashes, they will all perish in the cold universe, becoming unclaimed corpses floating in space.

They wanted to retaliate, but the overwhelming firepower prevented them from doing so.

"Damn it, what's going on? Quickly, find a way to call for reinforcements! We still have so many guerrillas who haven't arrived yet! Remind them to launch an attack from behind enemy lines!"

The fleet commander shouted angrily.

The liaison then took action, attempting to send the message out.

However, as the regular army of the Empire across the entire universe, Esmeralda's army already had a complete plan for dealing with information dissemination.

The moment their fleet appeared, powerful signal jammers were activated.

When multiple signal jammers are connected to each other, they form a signal shielding area. Within this area, only their special signal transmitters can propagate, while all others are blocked and rendered ineffective.

Just as Emeralana was taking control of the situation, Tregear, who had been lining up for X and the others on the Earth battlefield, sent a clone to Emeralana's command room.

"Esmeraluda's fleet, why are you here?"

"Lord Tregear!"

Emeralna was startled when she heard the voice, and after getting up, she saw Toregia standing behind her with his hands behind his back, so she quickly bowed.

"Forget all this formalities, tell me why you're here? Who gave you permission to cross the border? And who ordered you to come here to fight?"

Torregia was somewhat annoyed because the appearance of Esmeralda's fleet had disrupted his plans to some extent.

Originally, his plan was for X and the others to be evenly matched with Orb Ginga, accumulating experience and improving their strength in the battle.

Belial fought Zero one-on-one and beat Zero up to vent his anger.

Then, the Zero Expeditionary Force and the Edge Space Guerrilla Force from outside Earth arrived, threatening Belial's rebellious son Geed with overwhelming firepower and forcing him to fight.

Then, together with Beria, he, Tregear, defended the Earth from the expeditionary force's artillery fire.

Finally, make a slight deception, revealing a flaw. This gives Zero "a chance" to steal the plasma spark that was randomly stuck on the ground.

In this way, you can eat the fish three times and kill three birds with one stone!

However, the appearance of Esmeralda's fleet interfered with his plans, causing the fleet that should have appeared much earlier to be delayed.

So Torregia is very angry now. If Emerana can't give him a reasonable explanation, he doesn't mind giving this little girl an unforgettable fireworks show!

"That's right, my lord." Emeralna recounted in detail how Zero and the others had gone to the Esmeralda universe to cause trouble, and also explained the purpose of her expeditionary force.

Upon hearing that Zero and his companions had destroyed mining equipment and the infrastructure of various planets, including portals, Tregear became somewhat angry.

"I see. Then I'll forgive you this time. Damaging the Empire's property is not allowed, but this time I have my own plan."

Tregear said, "You guys coordinate for a bit, and when that Crimson Flame and Mirror Knight launch their attack, then take the opportunity to withdraw from the solar system."

"Then you will lie in ambush outside the solar system. Once my plan succeeds, you will wipe these guys out in one fell swoop. If you let them escape, I will turn you into fireworks in the deep space of the universe."

"Yes! The Esmeralda fleet will absolutely not disappoint you, sir!"

Amellana bowed respectfully.

"Hehe, you're not bad. What's your name?"

"Amelana, my lord."

"Yes, I'll remember you."

After Torregia finished speaking and left, Emeralna finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her seat, and began to direct the fleet and relay orders.

Just then, Mirror Knight and Crimson Flame, who had been suppressed by firepower, finally got a chance to catch their breath.

"Their gunfire has stopped, now's the time!" said the Mirror Knight.

"Oh! I understand!"

Crimson Flame clutched his head with both hands, flames rising from his head, and then he transformed into a ball of fire, crashing into the Esmeralda fleet.

The Mirror Knight also deployed a mirror barrier, and then continuously fired shuriken.

After the foremost defensive ship was destroyed, the two men moved through the entire fleet as if it were empty.

But even before they launched their counterattack, Emenara had already adjusted her fleet.

They were attacking unmanned boats; all personnel had already been moved to the rear.

As the two attacked, the Esmeralda fleet slowly retreated, gradually withdrawing from the solar system.

"Yo! It's us again!" Crimson Flame exclaimed excitedly, "We only needed to make a slight move to repel them!"

"The repelling was real, but something still feels off..."

"What's so strange about it? Let's hurry up and go support Zero and the others."

"All right."

Mirror Knight thought for a moment. Although he felt strange, he had no clues and could only temporarily put it aside to support Zero.

The entire fleet began to turn.

They surrounded the Earth, and countless cannons were aimed at the Earth's battlefield.

Mirror Knight and Crimson Flame landed on Earth and saw Tregear standing in front of them... (End of Chapter)
