Chapter 1890: Chapter 589: Encirclement and Counter-Encirclement (6k)_3

"Huff... huff...

Thankfully, there’s a second shield..."

Inside the pale blue shield on the ground, the Mechanical Master lay on a comrade’s corpse, breathing a sigh of relief.

Upon witnessing that golden magic just now, he knew the shield couldn’t hold. Thankfully, he was quick-witted enough to pick up the relic of another Mechanical Master from the team’s dead body, deploying a second shield.

Otherwise...

"That believer’s divine art is coming again! Block this attack and break through immediately!"

The captain turned to his teammates, nodding heavily.

Boom—

The brilliant golden blazing sun rose again, shattering the seemingly solid shield.

In the explosion, the captain burst out first, launching several Fluctuating Fists at the surrounding buildings as cover.

Remaining in the encirclement would only lead to being trapped to death; only by leaving the environment familiar to the believers could they have a chance to rebuild the defense line!

But just after a few steps, the captain suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

The Martial Artist’s combat intuition almost spelled ’danger’ right in front of him, and the source of the danger...

The captain looked back and saw a brilliant golden potion magic chasing after them, about to fall in front of them!

It was too late to brake, and they almost crashed headlong into the explosion caused by the divine art.

Unlike the explosion earlier, where the shield had reduced most of the power, this time they were subjected to its full force.

The Transcendents under his command were instantly torn apart, dying in an instant.

As a 4th Rank Martial Artist, the captain felt a flash of white before his eyes, and his body was sent flying like a sandbag into a nearby building.

When he regained consciousness, excruciating pain surged throughout his body. The magic power that had been passively consumed during the construction of his defense was almost exhausted, leaving him with little strength to move.

How is this possible!

He had just released a potion spell—wasn’t there supposed to be a few seconds before the next one?

How could it be so fast...

He looked up at Ellie, standing not far from him, full of bewilderment in his eyes.

"What gives you the confidence to think my potion magic has a cooldown?

Don’t worry, surviving that ’nuclear explosion potion’ of yours is quite impressive. I won’t let you die that easily."

Won’t die...?

The captain suddenly remembered some previous intelligence, and his eyes widened.

"Oh, it looks like you know, huh.

I was just promoted recently. When I was Tier Three, I didn’t have the chance, but even now, I still don’t have any Blood Servants."

Ellie smiled and wiped her hand across her waist, pulling out two rune-filled test tubes and pouring the potion onto the captain’s body from head to toe.

......

Meanwhile, in a corner of the city, after the descending ship formation was attacked, the fleet in the starry sky immediately responded, followed by a new batch of Transcendent troops coming to support.

Using the limited firepower support from the small ships, they barely managed to construct a temporary defense line with several buildings as the core on the ground.

"Sir, the Empire’s personnel have arrived!"

"Please..."

"No need! I’ve arrived!"

Outside the makeshift command room, the Empire’s person in charge strode in.

"What’s the situation now?"

"Very bad; half of the first batch of Transcendent troops have not returned. From our current observations, there are several signs of battle. They are likely already..."

The Radiant Federation’s person in charge slapped the table, shaking his head in pain.

Those who died were all his troops, especially the Transcendent troops, most of whom were his trusted subordinates, notable members whose names he could remember.

Now, with these people sacrificed, he couldn’t help but be grief-stricken.

"It’s not about me. How is the starry sky? Why are there so few people?"

"You’re really keen; indeed, something happened."

The Empire’s person in charge deliberately sighed.

"After you brought people down, the Insect Swarm appeared.

They seem to have mastered some kind of concealment ability. If it weren’t for someone accidentally noticing the starlight being obscured, we wouldn’t have detected it.

Saien’s side decided to take responsibility for the starry sky battlefield, so I brought people to support."

"It’s the Red Moon believers! Those Red Moon believers have the ability to shroud magic power with black fog!"

Bam—

The Federation’s person in charge slapped the table and stood up abruptly, but only for a few seconds before sitting back down.

Although there was anger on his face, he managed to suppress it well.

"The most important thing now is to deal with those believers. They attack with such confidence, they must be well-prepared. The strength of our United Law Enforcement Fleet isn’t hard to investigate; they must have arranged for stronger combat power long ago...

And according to our current observations, the Red Moon Church has gathered a large number of believers with divine arts, with combat power far exceeding our Transcendent troops!"

Seeing him calm down so quickly, the Empire’s person in charge looked at him more favorably, thinking that this Federation Martial Artist would be blindsided with anger after being ambushed and losing so many men.

It seems the original plan won’t work...

The Empire’s person in charge feigned a regretful expression, nodding.

"I’ve already reported to the Empire and applied for high-tier support.

The Faith Hunter side has accepted the request for help and is on their way. We just need to hold on for a little longer."

"That’s great! Right after we arrived on the surface, we lost the Quantum Network signal due to interference from those believers. It’s truly great you could request aid in advance."

The Federation’s person in charge’s expression relaxed significantly, exchanging a smile.

Yet, the Empire’s person in charge had a tinge of worry in his smile.
