The entire Star Domain was engulfed in battle, with two fleets rapidly approaching from the distance. Meanwhile, Cao Ke's Zhongzheng Army and the Suihuan Army Fleet were retreating in an orderly fashion.
The battlefield had descended into chaos, making coordination nearly impossible at times.
Jufeng watched as Cao Ke became entangled with the other six brothers, suddenly feeling a different sensation arise within him.
Cao Ke's strength was indeed formidable; he seemed to have transcended the ordinary mid-tier level, at least standing ahead of Romain. This feeling was quite unsettling.
However, having studied military strategy for two years, Romain instinctively approached the situation from a broader perspective. Although Cao Ke was powerful enough to hold back the six elites, he could not alter the overall situation. This was precisely the meaning behind Qi Fa's words when he first encountered Romain, as well as the reason for his arrogance.
In this melee, a random barrage from any battleship or a coordinated shelling from a mech squad could easily obliterate a general.
Before such terrifying power, there was no essential difference between Crimson Rank and Scarlet Level.
Thus, when Romain shifted his gaze to the strategic deployment of the Suihuan Army, his brow furrowed deeply. Despite Cao Ke's imposing momentum, why was the army gradually withdrawing from the battlefield?
Jufeng was still some distance away from the Dragon Breaker Army and Hurricane Army, unable to establish contact with the battleships. For now, these mechs could not hold off for long. More critically, up until now, the enemy's battleships had not displayed overwhelming strength. Was this a show of humility? Certainly not; it must be part of Cao Ke's ulterior motives.
In today's battle, their side had already fallen into a trap; their morale had plummeted. The appearance of the Dragon Breaker Army was a blessing bestowed upon them, but they could not sustain that blessing throughout.
It seemed that Cao Ke intended to avoid today's confrontation.
With battleships behind him, there was no way to retain Cao Ke if he wished to leave. Therefore, Romain immediately signaled to his brothers.
"Let Cao Ke go."
The six fighters heard Romain's command and were somewhat surprised. However, out of trust in Romain, none dared to object as they gradually withdrew from combat.
The six surrounded an oval formation: Romain on one end and Cao Ke on the other.
Cao Ke was slightly out of breath among the generals while battling against six masters. Though this honor was immensely prestigious, only he understood the hardships involved.
He gazed at Jufeng, who was floating and locking eyes with him, feeling that this person had changed significantly compared to two years ago.
He wanted to connect with Jufeng, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Cao Ke was smiling, a cold smile, because he sensed that Jufeng had seen through his intentions, which was an uncomfortable feeling.
But it didn't matter; it wasn't necessary to fight to a conclusion. He was no longer young, not impetuous, and understood the value of patience.
So he suddenly turned and walked away from the battle.
In the distance, the Battleship team was getting closer, but the Suihuan Army was about to depart.
Jufeng issued orders to the thousands of mechs present, commanding them to withdraw from the fight and line up behind him as A Squad, forming a dense net.
Then Jufeng gave the command for each mech to deploy their defensive shields. Countless mechs connected, truly laying down a vast web of protection.
This web was expansive, stretching far and wide. It looked magnificent.
Back on the Command Ship, Cao Ke witnessed this scene and fell silent.
His Master, who remained aboard the Battleship, looked at the unfolding spectacle and sighed regretfully at the approaching Battleship Fleet in the distance.
He turned to Cao Ke and asked, "General, how could they be prepared? Should we continue with our plan?"
Cao Ke remained silent for a moment before responding, "Proceed. Since they’ve guessed our intentions, I must bolster their confidence. That way, our next encounter will be even more interesting."
The Master received the order and immediately directed his subordinates to make preparations. Moments later, a dramatic change swept across the universe.
Just beyond the battle site, several planets began to glow with visible intensity, illuminating the vast starry sky as if suddenly ignited by autumn winds lighting lanterns.
Beautiful things often come with great risks, and they can be the most terrifying.
In a moment, the brightness of those planets reached a critical state, so intense that it distorted one's vision.
Many people noticed that the planets were gradually expanding, growing larger and larger.
At first, they thought it was an illusion, but when they saw the planets swell to a certain extent before bursting, they realized that what they were witnessing was indeed real.
Several planets exploded simultaneously.
Compared to the planets, the mechs seemed incredibly insignificant. In the vastness of space, even a tiny fragment from an exploding planet striking a mech would lead to terrifying consequences.
With multiple planets exploding at once, one could only imagine the fate awaiting those mechs here.
Fortunately, there was a net.
A defensive net composed of countless mechs.
The old saying holds true: a single chopstick is easy to break, but a bundle of chopsticks tied together is not easily bent.
Many hands make light work; this principle applies here as well.
This Joint Defense Network had astonishing defensive capabilities, preventing the terrifying shockwaves from the explosions from breaching its perimeter.
It blocked both physical damage and energy wave impacts.
Yet, the net was still on the verge of breaking under the force of the explosive energy. The mechs in the center had retreated far back, facing unprecedented pressure.
Jufeng stood at the very center, flanked by six skilled fighters. The Special Forces of Qi Fa had Azure Level mechs, followed by Azure Rank and Scarlet Level mechs in succession.
The explosion lasted for a moment, and afterward, both the Dragon Breaker Army and the Hurricane Fleet fell into a temporary pause. At that moment, they were unable to provide any assistance.
Even after a minute, the aftermath of the explosion had not completely dissipated. A significant amount of dust swirled around in this Star Domain, continuously spinning. It would take at least a hundred years for it to clear up completely.
Once the shockwaves of the explosion faded, the defensive network also vanished entirely. The network had obstructed the advance of both the Dragon Breaker Army and the Hurricane Army, while simultaneously blocking their view of the situation ahead.
Only after it disappeared could they see clearly that the Suihuan Army had vanished without a trace. The only way to leave so quickly in such a short time was through Spatial Leap. Of course, this required some preparation time, indicating that Cao Ke's departure had been planned well in advance.
The distance of a Spatial Leap is not very far, primarily due to energy constraints and spatial compatibility issues. If there were no distance limitations, one could easily leap right into the enemy's doorstep and engage in battle.
However, even if the distance is short, the directions are limitless; in three-dimensional space, there are countless angles to consider, making it impossible to pursue.
