Chapter 432: Fight for Your Destiny!

”It would depend on all of you,” said Brahmara.

Ye Yin's expression was somber, with the little flicker of light remaining in his soulless eyes.

He had witnessed everything in the past three days. Xue Lai clan and Xi Feng tribe suffered the greatest loss as they lost at least half of their men being at the frontmost line. It was also known as the highest amount of casualty in the record of history in the past few years.

Non-combat units in the fleet also suffered a considerable amount of damage due to limited energy supply. These ships were not assigned a combative role in the evacuation, so they were only given the energy amount for basic flights. In their plan, most of the batteries had been given to the mechs of frontline. They had to, or the frontmost defense line would never last beyond three days. The only saving grace was, most of the goals of the evacuation had been achieved this time, though with a great cost.

The clouds of Crustalades had slowly faded away, as the giant ones had probably been wiped out. Their minions were still everything nevertheless. Ye Yin had a much important mission to carry out thus they decided to treat these pests with ignorance.

There was one last obstacle in their course.

The mollusc bristleworm, 6000 of them or so.

These bristleworms had gathered up and formed into a gigantic conglomeration, which wriggled like a dragon of darkness as it stood in the way of the fleet.

Ye Yin's eyes were dimmed as he looked upon the giant monstrosity. How many people would he have to lose in order to get home? How many people could survive in this ever-going fight? It took a few moments of silence for him to muster that inner voice of his, his eyes sharpened, ”Go as planned. Attack!” shouted the ultimate order.

The mechs retreated and the fleet reformed as the ships accelerated.

The ships hovered across the pathway at the front.

These ships were empty and were moving under pre-programmed piloting.

The ships sped up dramatically.

Mach 8

Mach 10

Mach 12!

The empty ships were leading their own parade as they hurriedly charged towards the wriggling ugly monster.

These vessels had been modified with additional engines to give him stronger thrust, thus the ability to hit Mach 12 effortlessly.

It was not easy to defeat the conglomerated worms. Ye Yin and the rest had cracked their head thinking up a plan. The conglomeration was imaginably massive. One bristleworm would be about 40 meters in length, 6 to 7 meters in breadth. Now, multiply the figures by 6000 to get the estimated size of the monstrosity. It was simply horribly giant that mechs felt like the ants before the anteater. It would be impossible to slash through the monster with insufficient momentum. Things would only work if the fleet drilled its way through.

All the ships were travelling at maximum speed. Ye Chong was a little astonished by the grand view as he saw the distance decreasing between the fleet of empty ships and the monster.

The bristleworms seemed to have noticed the incoming fleet as the surface of the monster was quivering. The monster turned restless as it began thrashing.

The 50 empty ships then sank into the body of the monster.

Boom!

The monster had been pierced at its weak spot, as it began squirming in immense pain.

The bristleworms leaked out of the conglomeration upon contact, as they began scurrying around in panic. The empty ships continued ”drilling”, to the deepest of the monster.

And at the next moment, the monster collapsed, as a wave of bristleworms engulfed the pathway.

The bristleworms were writhing everywhere frantically, where clouds of green smoke escaped from their bodies and cloaked the entire place.

The fleet could only see the green sea ahead while making out the shape of those little squirmy silhouettes.

”A-all units ahead!” Ye Yin's calm voice cracked a little, as he launched the final gambit of entire fleet. His mech had first initiated the move, as it travelled ahead at full speed.

No doubt it was a final gambit for them, as the release of those green gases had an effect that promoted disintegration of metals. The metal would gradually lose its particle cohesion upon contact, resulting a highly brittle structure that eventually would break down on its own due to the overwhelming artificial air pressure controlled inside the ship. In simpler terms, Brahmara had expected the effect to go on full swing in a duration of about 3 days, that would mean they would be a goner if they did not arrive at He Yue galaxy within the period.

It was just natural to die without the protection of any spaceship or mech.

But, that was not all. According to calculation, they would need 4 days to fully walk through the entire pathway and they had just hit the middle. Halving that and they still needed 2 more days to completely exit the place, given that nothing happened that is. Nonetheless, the green worms were still there, at worst case scenario Ye Yin and the army must finish the battle in less than a day!

Time was no longer money, rather it was solely life to them at the moment. They must leave the pathway in 3 days, by hook or by crook, or else!

The main force of the second phase would be Ye family this time. Both Xue Lai clan and Xi Feng tribe had fully consumed their military forces. They had to take a break from battle also because of how bristleworms were completely immune towards energy-based firings, like those beams. So, they started clearing up the course instead. The remnants of Crustalades were everywhere. A cleanup would be needed.

Ye Yin had only 852 war machines left and they had to clear a way out in the midst of those green waving madness at the very least.
