Ziyu's spaceship made a turn and accelerated instantly, heading towards the core.
To protect the spaceship, weapons are generally not installed near the core to avoid accidental "suicide" incidents. Therefore, the safety of the Mother Ship core now relies entirely on the protection of the nearby ships.
"Zero, can you target that spaceship in front?" Ziyu asked.
"Not yet..."
"Just a little more..."
"Now!"
As soon as Zero said "now," Ziyu pressed the attack button. The automatic targeting controlled by Zero guided Ziyu's attack beam directly toward that spaceship.
"Boom..." Ziyu's beam attack hit the thruster of that spaceship, causing it to explode.
"Great." Ziyu had just smiled but then became serious. "Not good."
The shockwave from the explosion affected the core of the Mother Ship, causing it to temporarily lose power in an instant.
"Ziyu, quickly fill the gap to cover us; we will be able to restart the core soon!" Sutton's voice rang out.
The explosion did not damage the core but affected it; it just needed a brief moment to reboot. However, this short time could also lead to a fatal blow.
"Squad, cover." The captain of the nearby Squad began issuing commands, and the formation of the ships became orderly, protecting Sutton's Mother Ship.
The enemy's assault intensified. Ziyu flew rapidly around the Mother Ship, taking down as many enemies as possible during this maneuver.
"On the other side, they are temporarily disorganized. We should intensify our offensive..." A man said to The King of Ouyuxing inside the Mother Ship.
"Not so fast..." the King decided against increasing the intensity.
"This is a rare opportunity."
"What if... this is their tactic?" the King replied. "The people we have placed within their ranks haven't actually harmed Sutton's ship. If this is indeed their strategy, a rash attack on our part would surely play into their hands..."
In the end, the King's words became authoritative, and Ouyuxing did not truly escalate their attacks; they only slightly increased the attack ratio against Sutton's ship.
This alleviated some pressure on Sutton's ship.
"The energy core has been activated. The squadron disperse; we continue the battle from before," Sutton commanded.
Due to the concentration of power here at Sutton, the enemies nearby suffered a significant setback, prompting them to naturally increase their efforts to maintain balance in the fight. However, Sutton's ship nearby suddenly dispersed its power. Although this increased pressure on Sutton's ship somewhat, it had a significant impact on other areas of the battlefield.
"The enemy has sustained a loss of ninety percent; our side has lost sixty-five percent," an intelligence officer reported to Sutton.
"Good. Let's launch a full-scale attack!" Sutton waved his hand, and the entire battlefield between the two sides was laid out before him. "We will annihilate them in one fell swoop."
This unexpected event gave Sutton's squad an advantage, while Ouyuxing's disadvantage was entirely self-inflicted.
Ouyuxing had long begun infiltrating Qutian Star. The incidents involving Kiron and the ships were all hastily planned by Ouyuxing during the outbreak of battle but had not yielded any real results.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Sound cannot normally travel in a vacuum, but this scene was so shocking that it seemed even space trembled!
"I guess we're going to win." Ziyu could tell that the momentum of the Qutian Star's Fleet was completely different from before; it had a sense of being victorious.
"Then let's win," Ye Ling responded without much feeling.
"The enemy's flagship is surrounded..." Ziyu observed the battlefield. Since Sutton's ship had restarted its energy, the Qutian Star had become very formidable, crushing the enemy's forces and surrounding the main battleship of Ouyuxing.
"We're in," Ziyu knew that they had reached the final stage, whether to surrender or be annihilated, negotiations were at hand.
Of course, in this negotiation, the Qutian Star held absolute initiative.
"Let's wait for good news..." Ziyu completely relaxed.
Ziyu also understood that the situation on Earth was merely a catalyst; these two neighboring planets had long wanted to fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ouyuxing's main battleship, Control Room.
Ouyuxing was forced to open its ship, and Sutton along with some important figures arrived here under the protection of Qutian Star soldiers.
"Didn’t expect this, did you? You plotted against me, yet I’m still alive... and I’ve defeated you..." Sutton casually sat down and said to the leader of Ouyuxing, "To be honest, your tricks are really not impressive."
"Your schemes didn’t harm us; instead, they caused your troops to panic... Haha, how ridiculous," Sutton continued. "And you even chose Kiron... why not pick someone reliable?"
The King of Ouyuxing looked very grim. They had searched for a long time before discovering that Kiron was someone they could communicate with, only to find out later that Kiron was actually quite incompetent.
"What do you want?" The King of Ouyuxing's deep voice resonated. "What must I do to ensure my people and I survive?"
"It's simple," Sutton said, "you give us half of the resources from your planet to Qutian Star, and then you can freely dispose of the remaining half of your planet's resources."
"That's impossible."
"If it's impossible, then you will all die." Sutton's expression was cold, showing no signs of emotion.
Silence.
Everyone fell into silence.
Sutton knew that this matter needed the King of Ouyuxing's agreement to proceed, so Sutton stated it without pressing too hard.
The King of Ouyuxing was deep in thought, as his words would determine the fate of his people.
If his people lived, he and his subjects would still be able to rise again; if everyone died, their dignity would remain intact...
But the King of Ouyuxing did not know how his people would choose...
"Alright, we will give you half of the resources from our planet," the King of Ouyuxing said, holding his breath as he uttered these humiliating words.
"Very good," Sutton smiled, "Earth still has matters to discuss... let's see what they have to say..."
Sutton turned to an operator and said, "Notify Ziyu to come here."
By giving half of their energy to Qutian Star, the people of Ouyuxing survived, but in reality, they could be considered slaves to Qutian Star. From now on, this planet would remain in a state of humiliation.
Moreover, with half of their resources gone, Ouyuxing would no longer be able to develop.
About half an hour later, Ziyu boarded the main battleship of Ouyuxing.
"Speak, what do you want?" The King of Ouyuxing's attitude towards Ziyu was clearly different. No matter how down-and-out Ouyuxing was, Earth was still a low-level planet without unification.
"It's not what I want; it's what our Earth needs," Ziyu said in Chinese, with Zero responsible for the translation. "I want all your technological data."
"What? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The King of Ouyuxing went crazy. All technological data? Years of research just to be given away?
"Then tell me what technology you cannot give me, and I can make concessions," Ziyu took a step back.
Ziyu never expected to obtain all the technology, but saying it this way would make him feel more acceptable to make further concessions.
"Wormhole construction technology... anti-gravity technology... Nuclear Energy recycling technology... powerful propulsion technology..." The King of Ouyuxing pondered, excluding many technologies.
"How much is left after you finish?"
"At least sixty percent." The King of Ouyuxing felt heartbroken; sixty percent of the technological achievements would be given away, and Earth would enter a phase of rapid development afterward.
"Alright, I'll make you a promise as well," Ziyu said.
