Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 483: Chapter 164 Steel Giant_2

Bai Quan’s remark was merely an observation, not a command.

Chen Ming didn’t respond, continuing to follow his own plan, controlling his small ships to disperse and leave from the back of the Space Station.

These small ships would scatter towards the edge of the Star System, as if preparing to retreat through Superspace.

Chen Ming’s idea was to use these ships to draw some of Zuo Jing’s fleet’s attention.

Although Zuo Jing had been monitoring Chen Ming, they couldn’t guarantee he hadn’t had the chance to board those small ships from the dock until now.

This meant that Zuo Jing had to attend to those small ships.

Otherwise, if Chen Ming escaped on one of them, their mission would be completely in vain.

Soon, Chen Ming’s five small ships each attracted a destroyer and five Frigates, gradually pulling away from the battle lines.

Zuo Jing believed these six ships would be enough to destroy one of Chen Ming’s ships.

However, Chen Ming thought, given his capability to multitask with Spiritual Energy support, he could handle this number of ships.

Chen Ming was confident that the Warriors and Torrent Level wouldn’t be overwhelmed even in an outnumbered situation.

Yet Refraction and Centurion would have to hold out longer.

However, the small ship skirmishes were not the pivotal point of the battle now.

The decisive factor lay in the two Cruisers Chen Ming commanded.

With the Space Station as cover, Chen Ming could now attack steadily.

Although Chen Ming only had two Cruisers, the opposing side had four.

A Ruler, two Defenders, and an Eagle Level.

Representing formidable frontal firepower overall.

Yet now, with the Brilliant Level unleashed, it erupted with an overwhelming frontal power output.

Even though Brilliant wasn’t a combat-type Dusk.

The terrifying front firepower of the Brilliant Level, combined with additional boosts from auxiliary systems.

And the constant repair and rapid cooling enhancements supplied by Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy.

On the forefront of the Cruiser engagement, it was actually Zuo Jing’s fleet that was pressed hard by Chen Ming.

Four Speed Particle Spears, glowing with the distinctive green of plasma and the iconic blue of Dusk Energy Weapons, each singled out one of the enemy Cruisers, overwhelming them with relentless pressure.

As Brilliant suppressed the Cruisers.

Chen Ming boldly focused all his firepower on the smaller ships.

The two Speed Particle Spears at the Supreme Point’s forefront, along with the side-mounted ”Locust” large close-range missile launchers designed for small ships, proved to be the ultimate enemy-clearance weapons.

The striking deep purple particle torrents of human Speed Particle Spears danced relentlessly around the four suppressed Cruisers.

An overwhelming swarm of miniature Locust missiles nearly covered a third of the battle line.

A series of explosions lit up like fireworks within Zuo Jing’s battle line.

Chen Ming’s two Cruisers indeed exerted the aura of four Cruisers.

And their actual firepower output truly rivaled that of four Cruisers.

Besides Chen Ming’s efforts, the Space Station defense systems were now fully activated.

Shields expanded, and the Space Station’s perimeter weapons continuously assisted Brilliant in suppressing the enemy, exerting greater pressure on those already faltering Cruisers.

At the moment, it was unclear which side was stronger.

Bai Quan, watching Chen Ming’s strategy, remained silent.

He initially thought this would be a fierce battle.

The discrepancy in strength between the two sides seemed quite substantial.

Even with the Space Station’s support, the overall strength disparity wasn’t significantly bridged, still a situation of fewer against more.

Especially since Zuo Jing and the Battle Zone had the initial advantage, having also incapacitated the Space Station for a period.

He thought he might have a chance to provide advice and guide Chen Ming to achieve some results.

Then find an opportunity for withdrawal at the end, concluding the fight.

But now, he had merely offered a non-guidance comment.

And the battle was already tilting decisively.

Seeing the unceasing intertwining particle torrents of green and blue from the Speed Particle Spears ahead, Bai Quan didn’t know what to say.

However, this was precisely the scenario every commander wished for.

If overwhelming firepower could crush the enemy, strategic commands became redundant.

Victory is the best outcome.

After half a minute of observation, Bai Quan concluded that the scales of victory were tipping towards Chen Ming.

Yet as Bai Quan formulated this idea.

The sole Ruler in Zuo Jing’s fleet suddenly deactivated its shield.

Relying on its exceptionally thick armor compared to ships of the same class, it began a retaliation, stubbornly advancing towards the frontline under Brilliant’s fire.

Just like the Offensive Level ship Bai Quan previously commanded.

The early bird gets the worm.

Chen Ming clearly understood the optimal counter to such a situation.

He immediately ceased obliterating Zuo Jing’s smaller ships, turning focus to concentrate fire on the advancing Ruler.

Though the Ruler boasted incredibly thick armor, it didn’t have the insane capability to withstand Main Level weapons using solely its armor like the Offensive Level.

Concentrated fire from plasma-charged Speed Particle Spears was something no Cruiser could withstand with armor alone.
