Chapter 564: Fourth Heaven Ships and Guerilla Warfare

“Boom!”

At the very end of a huge fleet, a giant serpent suddenly rushed out and devoured thousands of spaceships.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

The moment Fang Yun appeared, sirens and harsh alarms rang through the fleet, instantly informing the fleet of the appearance of the serpent behemoth.

This serpent is extremely big. It had a length of over a hundred thousand kilometers and a diameter of thousands of kilometers. Ordinary creatures can’t even be considered bacteria in front of it.

The mere presence of this behemoth exerted incredible pressure on the fleet, especially those pairs of huge golden pupils. They shone through the darkness like two giant suns.

“Attack!”

At the center of the fleet, Lu Ming immediately noticed Fang Yun’s appearance. Without the slightest hesitation, he gave the order to launch an attack.

“This monster actually made a detour and came behind us.”

Lu Ming was a bit shocked. The giant serpent’s actions showed its wisdom and cautiousness, taking the battle situation out of control.

He particularly hates this kind of situation out of his control.

“Damn it, if it wasn’t for our special detector’s use restrictions. You would never be so arrogant!”

Lu Ming cursed under his breath. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down and coldly watched the holographic screen in front of him, on which was the battle scene of the giant serpent against the fleet.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

All kinds of attacks were fired at Fang Yun. To be honest, the artillery attacks from ordinary ships are useless to him. They can’t cause substantial damage.

However, these fleets consist of many advanced and powerful ships, especially the ships of the fourth heaven. Their attacks are different from those of the rest of the fleet.

They released some kind of green fissure energy attack. This energy attack is dozens of times more explosive and powerful than the rest of the ships. Not to mention the terrifying temperature they exuded. Fang Yun felt that even bathing in the core of a star is easier than receiving those attacks.

“Damn it, the firepower of those ships is too fierce.”

Fang Yun glanced at the location of the fourth heaven ships with a look of fury. He quickly used “Gamma-Ray Burst” to destroy the surrounding fleets.

After destroying thousands of ships around him, he quickly fled away.

In this trial battle, Fang Yun destroyed more than 30,000 ships. Although most of them were ordinary ships and had no effect on the fleet as a whole, he still gave many soldiers a sense of oppression, even causing many of them to have anxiety and other mental problems.

This is mostly because most of them couldn’t cause any damage to the giant serpent. Most of the ordinary ships were barely able to create a few dozen meters wide wounds on the giant serpent.

However, these wounds are insignificant. Even the gullies between the serpent’s scales are much bigger. Their damage can’t even be considered as a scratch!

Basically, the fourth heaven ships were the lead attacker this time, the ordinary ships are nothing more than cannon fodder.

But at any rate, the giant serpent was repulsed, so even if many people are worried, there’s no major problem.

“Haah!”

In the command ship, Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the giant serpent fleeing. However, he fell silent the next moment, guessing when the giant serpent would attack them next time.

He does not doubt that this giant serpent will attack them again. This monster has a high IQ and from its past actions, it’s adamant about fighting them. It’s using an ancient mode of combat that was passed on since ancient times.

That is guerrilla warfare.

“Commander, I’m afraid that this giant serpent is planning to use guerilla warfare against us.”

Suddenly, Lu Ming’s adjutant walked up and said solemnly to him. What they fear most now is that the giant serpent uses this tactic.

The giant serpent holds the initiative due to its mobility and stealth. Most importantly, their special detectors can’t be used lightly, as their energy can easily run out.

“Did you send back the news?”

Lu Ming did not answer his adjutant’s problem but asked him another thing.

“Commander, the news has been sent back.”

“The higher-ups told us to hold the giant serpent for as long as possible. They are going to send the main army this time.”

“Oh?”

Lu Ming raised his brows and said to his adjutant,

“So, what’s the situation now? I mean our fifth heaven.”

“If they send the main army this time, I’m afraid that our fifth heaven will fall into a very bad situation. Chaos is just the beginning.”

Lu Ming had a solemn expression as he said this. The adjutant fell silent.

There’s a lot of pollutants in their fifth heaven, either taking sovereignty of a certain galaxy or being trapped in a certain area. They generally don’t cause too much trouble due to the supervision and suppression of special fleets, but now that all special fleets are being convened, they will certainly take this opportunity to cause trouble.

“This…yes.”

After pausing for a moment, the adjutant hesitated and said. He certainly understood the commander’s meaning, but he still didn’t talk too much about this problem in the end.

“Send a message to the higher-ups. Tell them to rest assured, I will definitely drag the giant serpent until the reinforcements arrive.”

“Even if I fight to the death, I will not let this monster cross the boundary line!”

“Yes!”

After hearing Lu Ming’s bold proclamation, the adjutant felt his blood surging up. In the next moment, he turned around and quickly walked to the communication room to send the message.

……….

After Fang Yun left, he found a place to heal his injuries. He knew that he still couldn’t fight head-on against the ships of the fourth heaven small fleet. His only way out is guerilla warfare.

About a week later, Fang Yun completely healed his wounds and adjusted his state to the best shape again. From that day on, Fang Yun carried out successive attacks on the fleet.

The entire fleet was depressed because of Fang Yun’s harassment. The giant serpent always appears out of nowhere, launches a mad attack on them, then quickly flees away before they have the chance to encircle it.

Apart from the first time where Fang Yun was discovered due to carelessness, he wasn’t found in the next wave of attacks.

He still relied on the giant turtle’s stealth, but this time he was much more cautious, not daring to stay next to the fleet for too long, because he didn’t know when they would use their special detector.

After a thunder-like attack, he quickly escapes every time. The fleet suffered greatly due to him.

The number of ships in the entire fleet dropped drastically, and as a last resort, they could only periodically use the special detector, even if it costs a lot of energy.

On one occasion, they found Fang Yun’s trace, then immediately launched an attack on him. Fortunately, Fang Yun quickly reacted and used “Space Barrier”, deflecting most attacks.

Some of the remaining attacks fell on his body, but they did not cause him any serious trouble. In the end, he managed to escape.

“Commander, what shall we do now?”

Lu Ming’s adjutant asked him. The most difficult time has arrived, and this is the scene they least wanted to see.

That giant serpent knows how to proficiently use guerilla tactics, and it’s slowly eating away at their fleet. If things continue like this, their fleet is going to become weaker and weaker, until it’s completely eaten.

“Now, how many times can our special detector be used at most?”

Lu Ming asked his adjutant. What they need most now is to find the location of the giant serpent so that they can launch a vicious attack on it.

He could see that the giant serpent isn’t invincible, but only the powerful ships of the fourth heaven could inflict fatal injuries on it.

It’s a pity that they don’t have many of these powerful ships in their fleet. Furthermore, under the targeted attacks of the giant serpent, they lost many of them. Only 35,000 of those ships remain.

“It can be used up to one hundred and eighty-three times.”

The adjutant replied.

“Commander, are you planning to use the detector to track the escape route of the giant serpent?”

“Yeah.” Lu Ming nodded, ” We have to catch up with that monster. Otherwise, we will only be a target for that monster to attack and consume.”

Although their fleet can cause some damage to that giant serpent every time, it’s not fatal. Most importantly, the giant serpent heals up to peak condition before returning every time.

“Yeah.”

The adjutant nodded, then reminded, “Commander, although the special detector can be used more than 180 times, it’s not only energy-consuming, it’s also very harmful to our soldiers.”

“They will be awarded the Imperial Hero Medal.” After a moment of silence, Lu Ming suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the adjutant didn’t talk anymore. He saluted Lu Ming and then went to the other side.

The detector on the command ship started to operate again, looking for the traces of the giant serpent. Soon they found some of the traces it left while escaping, then followed it.

When the fleet started following behind, Fang Yun immediately sensed it. The number of ships in that fleet is too high, each one of their movements can cause a great commotion. Moreover, Fang Yun is less than a light-year away from that fleet, so it’s not difficult to sense their movements.

This made it extremely hard for the fleet to catch up with Fang Yun. Even if they increased their speed to the maximum, they couldn’t catch up no matter how hard they chased.

The chase continued as the fleet never relented. Eventually, they reached the edge of the seventh heaven.

During this period of time, Fang Yun had always wondered whether to leave the seventh heaven. It seems that he can do so soon.

Lu Ming and others behind Fang Yun were particularly troubled. They have to constantly use the special detector to keep following the traces left behind by Fang Yun, but the problem is that their speed isn’t high enough to catch up with him.

Therefore, even if they found Fang Yun’s trail, they weren’t able to catch up with him, wasting their energy with achieving any result.

However, if they don’t use the special detector, they wouldn’t be able to find Fang Yun’s trail at all.

This caused them to be caught in a dilemma.

“The problem is that we still have few high-level ships.”

Lu Ming shook his head and sighed. If their fleet was entirely composed of the fourth heaven ships, they won’t have to worry about the great serpent’s attack.

They could in fact carry out an anti-kill on the giant serpent and immediately kill it, unfortunately…

“Commander, we are not far from the boundary of the seventh and sixth heavens.”

The adjutant reminded Lu Ming.

Lu Ming’s heart was filled with irritation as he heard this. He knew that they had to deal with the giant serpent as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they don’t have any solution for the moment.

“Damn it!”

Lu Ming cursed bitterly. Suddenly, a piercing siren resounded through the control center.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Ming was startled at first, but he quickly recovered. He hurriedly shouted at the crew in charge of the control board.

“Has the giant serpent appeared?”

A soldier not far away immediately reported.

“Commander, the giant serpent has appeared again. This time, it’s attacking the fourth heaven’s ships we brought.”

“Stop it! Quickly surround and suppress it!”

Lu Ming screamed frantically, then said to a crew member not far away.

“Immediately show the image over there to me!”

A holographic projection appeared in front of him. On the projection, the giant serpent could be seen madly attacking a slightly different small fleet. The fourth heaven fleet.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The giant serpent was attacking the surrounding ships frantically, using his most powerful energy skill “Gamma-Ray Burst” to destroy as many ships as possible.

“This bastard!”

Looking at the giant serpent that seemed to be unstoppable, Lu Ming clenched his teeth. He noticed that in just a short period, they lost almost a thousand top-level battleships.

If this continues, their fleet will be over soon.

“Boom!”

In the end, Fang Yun ended his attack and slipped away generously, right before they could surround him.

“It’s almost certain now.”

After Fang Yun left, he started pondering on his plan.

“Now I don’t have to hide anymore. Anyway, I can just head towards the sixth heaven.”

“The sixth heaven shouldn’t have these top ships from the fourth heaven, and even if they have it, the quantity should be very small. Anyway, the danger of going to the sixth heaven is very minimal now “

Fang Yun analyzed. After that, he called the giant turtle, then the two of them headed towards the sixth heaven.

At the moment, they are on the edge of the seventh heaven. As long as they cross a few more galaxies, they will reach the edge of the seventh heaven.

Not long after Fang Yun and the giant turtle rushed towards the sixth heaven, Lu Ming and his fleet discovered it while following their trail. This caused them to be very anxious.

“We absolutely must stop them from entering the sixth heaven!”

Lu Ming shouted loudly. Everyone in the fleet had solemn expressions. Especially the fleet from the sixth heaven, they had a nervous and anxious expression.

At this moment, they all wished to stop the giant serpent, then fight it till the end.

Even if they die, they mustn’t allow that monster to easily enter their territory.

It’s a pity that Fang Yun had taken the lead this time. He had given up on fighting against them and even often changed courses, making it almost impossible for them to catch him.

Soon after, Fang Yun and the giant turtle reached the boundary between the sixth and seventh heaven.
