Karliza had not felt this pleased in a long time.
For this expedition, he had spent a full three years preparing, gathering a fleet of one hundred seventy-three ships.
With all these preparations in place, he disregarded his family's objections and resolutely plunged into a high-stakes gamble.
That gamble was this: although all living beings considered the Abandoned Continent to be a barren wasteland, devoid of any resources, a place even Wizard Apprentices were unwilling to reside in for long, he had stumbled upon an ancient parchment. It detailed that in ancient times, the Abandoned Continent actually had another name—Primordial Land.
However, after his thorough interpretation, he discovered that "Primordial" was actually two words: Final and Initial Land.
Primordial Land was, in essence, the place where it all began.
At the same time, it was also the Final's "graveyard."
A graveyard!
Whose graveyard?
Of course, it belonged to the most powerful individuals of the realm, the graveyard of the wizards of Final, who possessed god-like abilities.
According to the parchment, only the two or three strongest individuals of each era could choose to construct their Final resting place here.
All other wizards were forbidden from disturbing or exploring this sacred ground.
As time passed, there were no longer any fragments of information circulating about this matter, which left Karliza both shocked and filled with deep confusion.
Who was hiding the truth about this incident?
Could it be that among the ancient forces that had existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, there were no records regarding the Abandoned Continent?
After discovering this secret, Karliza was not only terrified for a long time but also felt as if an overwhelming darkness would engulf him every time he closed his eyes.
He struggled between fear and temptation for three years, preparing for another three years. For a total of six years, he kept a watchful eye on any ancient texts related to the Abandoned Continent, whether directly or indirectly.
Now, he had finally found a clue.
In that parchment, there was a phrase: "Follow the guidance of the stars, walk across the back of the dragon; in that place, the Primordial Land, endless mysteries awaken."
When Final translated these four lines, Karliza felt an even greater chill and began to grow increasingly anxious because it clearly involved the most mysterious realm.
If discovered, his family would be completely devoured in an instant.
What he did not know was that someone had already noticed his unusual movements long ago, and among the more than one hundred seventy ships, at least seven or eight factions had secretly infiltrated.
Although they lacked concrete evidence about what was being sought this time, they were still very interested in Laliza, the leader known for her Shining Gold family and her grand ambitions.
However, his mood was utterly ruined just as they were approaching their destination.
Because there were actually other forces involved here.
“Boom Boom Boom!”
Suddenly, the seven ships at the forefront of the fleet detected a very strange flying object. However, under the targeting of the ‘Lava Burst Cannon’, they immediately exploded with a deafening sound.
The orange flames shone brilliantly against the black starry sky, both dazzling and tragic.
“Chief, we have received a message from Elder Sank ahead; a large number of strange ships are rapidly approaching.” Just as Karliza was frowning in deep thought, someone rushed in to report.
“A large number of strange ships?”
Karliza was taken aback and immediately asked, “How many ships do they have? Can we take them all out?”
…
Just as Karliza was preparing to eliminate the unidentified force's ships blocking their way, Ye Kai was already ready. Over fifty Aerial Battleships and the enormous Hope began to accelerate.
Tens of thousands of aircraft surrounded dozens of massive vessels. For ordinary people in this world, the unparalleled shock and impact were unimaginable.
Even Bari and his son Allen were frightened by this scene. Without hesitation, they hurried everyone onto the Aerial Battleships and immediately headed for the newly constructed base to take refuge.
“WIKI, activate the cloaking device for the Right Wing fleet, set the Electromagnetic Shield to 80%, and prepare all aircraft squadrons!” Ye Kai commanded from the command room of the Hope, constantly issuing orders to WIKI.
“Left Wing Fleet, move forward and form a defensive formation immediately. Activate the Electromagnetic Shield at full power. Preheat the Main Cannon and Secondary Cannon, and activate all Missile Systems, awaiting orders!” The command was issued once again.
With the issuance of these two commands, Ye Kai could see from the video that the fleets on both wings began to take action.
The Right Wing fleet slowly lost its trace, while the Left Wing Fleet immediately formed a half-arc formation, maximizing the Electromagnetic Shield to create a nearly seamless barrier.
However, unlike the Right Wing fleet, Hope, as the flagship of the fleet, also gradually activated its Electromagnetic Shield but simultaneously had nearly all of its Missile Systems online.
At a single command, over twenty thousand powerful missiles would unleash a torrential rain of destruction, completely covering that group of fleets.
Meanwhile, the densely packed aircraft transformed into a triangular attack formation, ready to utilize their agility to harass the enemy at any moment.
“Report to the Chief, an inexplicable number of ships have appeared ahead. Preliminary calculations indicate at least sixty large Type Spaceships, along with tens of thousands of smaller craft. What should we do?” Karliza's aide approached him with a grave expression.
As the aide reported, the alarm in the command room suddenly blared loudly.
“Not good, Chief! The enemy is preparing to attack!”
“Activate the defensive magic array and prepare to unleash the Black Annihilation Wave immediately. All Lava Burst Cannons and Hurricane Magic Crystal Cannons target the enemy ahead. If they make any move, open fire at once!” Karliza's face changed dramatically.
……
“Lord God, we have detected a special Energy Fluctuation with an extremely large concentration of radiation energy. It is predicted that if it hits us, it will trigger a massive energy radiation storm, with an estimated 0% of our aircraft being completely destroyed in this strike.”
Just as the formation was being finalized, WIKI suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?"
Ye Kai asked coldly, "Is the aircraft really that fragile? What about the Aerial Battleship? Will it be affected, and can it withstand this energy radiation storm?"
"Lord God, the Aerial Battleship will also be affected. However, all Aerial Battleship Main Cannons and Secondary Cannons have been fully locked in position. If we fire them all before the energy radiation storm arrives, we can expect to reduce losses by 17%."
Only then did Ye Kai feel a slight sense of relief. However, within the next five seconds, he made a bold decision, marking the first formal command of his life: "I order..."
Everyone in Hope straightened up simultaneously with a sharp 'pop,' looking at him with serious expressions.
"Activate the maximum power electromagnetic shield on the Aerial Battleship. The Battleship energy cannons on both wings will operate at full capacity. At the same time, project a Virtual Measurement Image, order them to stop advancing immediately, and retreat from here at once."
Seeing that Ye Kai had made up his mind, God had nothing more to say because, in her view, any command from Lord God was correct.
Yet she still felt a bit unhappy; after all, nearly ten of her toys had been damaged. How could she possibly have any good feelings toward these invaders?
After sulking for a while, she suddenly had an idea. A smile began to form at the corners of her mouth, and her big eyes curved into crescent shapes.
