Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

In the vast sea of ​​stars, intense artillery fire continued to tear through the dark void.

The company's large number of space warships formed a dense and long defensive line, with dense particle cannons continuously pouring firepower towards the Iron Tomb.

Each volley of fire exploded into a blinding ball of light within the Iron Tomb's purplish-black body.

The warships of the various legions of the Celestial Ships and Cloud Cavalry advanced in formation, their cannons booming and echoing throughout the starry sea.

Small starships darted back and forth around the main ships, repeatedly cutting through the spreading Iron Tomb golems.

The Star Train was parked some distance away on the flank of the battlefield. Himeko activated the railgun, and the high-energy beams it fired bombarded the ever-emerging torrent of steel golems.

Unfortunately, railguns have a slow charging time and limited sustained combat capability, so they can only selectively intercept large-scale impacts and cannot support the main battle line.

Walter constantly monitored the energy fluctuations of the Iron Tomb, his glasses reflecting the data streams jumping on the screen.

The Iron Tomb's puppets did not employ complex tactics; they simply charged straight at full speed toward the Allied lines as expendable resources, detonating the energy stored within them as soon as they got close.

Violent explosions continued unabated, sending out waves of dark shockwaves across the defensive line.

Many of the Cloud Rider Starships were unable to dodge in time and were devoured by the self-destructing puppets.

The company's warships' shields were continuously worn down by the relentless suicide attacks, and gaps were frequently appearing in the defenses, causing a sharp increase in pressure on the front lines.

Jing Yuan's solemn voice rang out over the public communication channel:

"Each squad disperses to avoid the impact of the puppets' self-destruction! The Starship Squad prioritizes intercepting the oncoming puppets, maintaining a layered blocking tactic. Our mission is to delay as much time as possible."

Himeko responded immediately.

"Our Star Train will use railguns to support the clearing of large-scale puppet swarms, while continuously providing detection data."

In the void, cannon fire roared and explosions rose and fell, as the arduous tug-of-war between attack and defense continued.

The tug-of-war across the entire starry sea has entered its most intense phase, with every minute and second feeling like an eternity.

The fleet's losses continued to climb, and Jingyuan's brow had not relaxed since the start of the war.

Just when everyone thought this brutal war of attrition would continue indefinitely, the battlefield situation suddenly took a bizarre and dramatic turn.

The Iron Tomb golems, which had been multiplying wildly and fearlessly charging at the fleet, suddenly stopped generating.

New puppets no longer split off from the Iron Tomb colossus, and those already deployed collapsed like broken puppets after losing their commands.

The offensive that had ravaged the entire star field came to a complete halt, and the massive power of the Iron Tomb was briefly slowed down.

Everyone present instantly realized—Lu Ze and his team had succeeded.

Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and Jing Yuan's lips even curled up slightly for a moment.

Before the passengers on the Immortal Ship and the Star Train could catch their breath, a cold and assertive male voice suddenly rang out on the public communication channel. It was a director from the market development department of Interstellar Peace Company.

"Attention all personnel! Our flagship's ultimate weapon—the Mystery Cannon—is fully charged!"

"All combat units of Immortal Ship Luofu and Star Train, retreat immediately! Leave the central star field of the battlefield. Repeat, retreat immediately!"

The sudden instruction startled everyone present.

The slight relief that had just appeared on Jing Yuan's face vanished instantly, and Fu Xuan's fingers tightened slightly inside his sleeve.

The Mystery Cannon is a weapon developed by the Knowledge Society based on the long-range transmission device of the #77 Mystery, capable of directly triggering an explosion at the target location.

They wanted to take advantage of the window of opportunity presented by the Iron Tomb's malfunction to fully charge up their reserves and end the war in the most direct way.

But Luze and the Big Black Tower are still inside.
