Chapter 552: Insecure

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Engaging again with the humans had been a total tragedy to the Glassians.

Before the fleets started traveling at the speed of light, they had already lost four fleets in a lengthy three hour period.

…

At the war command hall of the Space City.

As the scenes of the war were synced to the space fighters, the entire hall was filled with excitement and many of their faces had flushed red.

Most of them were being pessimistic about the war before it started.

Glassian were the human's teachers to some extent. Humans learned their technology and everything from the Glassian. Humans started from an imitation and soon they were beyond the Glassian's capabilities. However, they were not confident enough since their improvement was compared to the technology that the Glassian had developed about 60 years ago.

Human's target was to catch up with the Glassian and it had been done better than expected.

Everyone was disappointed and depressed, especially when the Glassian's fleet was getting a head start on the war by approaching the Barnard's Star in a way that was beyond imagination.

It was a dramatic victory. Despite it being beyond one's expectations, although they somehow had relied on luck, it had still boosted their confidence.

They then realized that the Glassian were not as powerful as one would imagine. Putting aside that they could travel at a superluminal speed, their warship was incomparable to the human's warship. Furthermore, they were confused and also somehow relieved when the Glassian's fleet had no idea what should they do as soon as the war had begun.

”It means that we've only lost three space fighters and in turn managed to destroy four of their warships.” Looking at the odd results, Bi Jianping was confused. The results of the war had been verified several times and confirmed that it was true. Otherwise, he would have doubted their reliability.

Was it because the humans were too strong or maybe the Glassians being too weak.

”No particular conclusion has been made yet but the pre-judgment is that there might be an issue among the commanders which caused them fail to enter the state of war.” An officer explained, ”However, their warships are indeed weaker. They can't defend against our gamma-ray cannon.”

Gamma-rays had a high penetrating power. However, heavy metal atoms could defend against the penetration of the gamma-ray effectively. The human warships were equipped with multiple layers of advanced gold alloys. It was impossible for a space fighter to destroy a warship through such a penetration protection system. Apparently, the Glassian's warships did not do proper precautionary measures in order to prevent that.

That's how technology was. When there was a shield, there would be a spear. There was no skill that could fight everything.

At that moment, an alarm was heard coming from the war command hall. The space wave detection system had discovered that there was a drastic change in their flight path. It all caused a stir in the hall and thus everyone was paying close attention to the changes occurred in the light dot.

It seemed like the light dot that was representing the Glassian's warship was traveling on a curvature path. It gradually made a big turn and soon… it was heading back to the direction where it came from.

Bi Jianping was stunned and asked in doubt, ”What are they doing?”

The officer was puzzled as well. The Glassian's act was beyond comprehension. He opened his mouth and mumbled, ”It could be a strange strategy!”
