Counterfeit Hero

No one can describe everything they are seeing with words.

The Chuckna Fleet, which had just emerged from the Jump Channel, became the scapegoat for the Feiyang Fleet.

Countless artillery fire poured onto these unprepared warships.

With no energy shield and no maneuverability to evade, the Chuckna Fleet, just finishing its jump and still in semi-closed engine status, could only meet the Suss Fleet’s volley with their bodies.

One magnificent warship after another was directly hit by the Energy Cannon without any obstruction. The heavy external armor of the ships scattered and flew, the sturdy hull was pierced by meteor-like energy cannon lights into terrifying large holes.

Inside the ships, bodies, parts, and fragments were thrown into the void, flames roared in the leaking air. The internal detonations from the Power Cabin and weaponry, like volcanic lava bursting through the silent ashes of a volcano. In just a moment, irregular lightning-like cracks ripped through the hull, red light burst out, and entire warships broke into dozens of pieces of varying sizes, rolling in all directions.

The whole Oasis Airspace had become a hell of soaring flames. The explosive white light, the woven net of energy cannon lights, illuminated the dense nebula and floating asteroids around.

This was a sinful betrayal and a bloody massacre!

Fatty stared intensely at the flickering virtual screen, his entire body trembling uncontrollably in anger.

On the other hand, Sammon, who ordered the fleet’s collective jump, looked expressionlessly at the flashing lights outside the window, lowered his beautiful wide-brimmed military hat, and hid his twinkling eyes under the brim.

The Feiyang Fleet entered the Jump Channel, behind them, the Chuckna Fleet struggled amidst the energy cannon lights!

In the void, there was no sound. The only thing that could propagate was light. In this dead silence and dazzling beauty, time cruelly slipped by. One minute, two minutes...... one Chuckna Warship after another was destroyed under the Suss Fleet’s volley.

When they saw the Suss Fleet assembled in formation and adjusted its firing angle, the main cannon intertwining white silk lights, ready for a second volley at the Chuckna Fleet, many bandit soldiers closed their eyes.

Suddenly....... cheers erupted across the warships, sounding explosively in the ears of the soldiers who had closed their eyes.

They opened their eyes in confusion, only to be captivated by the scene before them— in the starry sky, dreamlike blue lights began to flash one by one from the surviving Chuckna warships.

God, it’s the glow of the energy shield! The Chuckna people reacted so quickly!

”Whenever at the brink, there is the phoenix’s rebirth, emerging anew from the fire!” Everyone stood up, pairs of eyes focused on the Chuckna Fleet’s energy shield light shimmering amidst Suss’s volley, and one sentence arose simultaneously in everyone’s heart, the evaluation of the Chuckna nation by the world: ”Indestructible Chuckna!”

****************************************************************************************************

Zhang Pengcheng stood straight on the command post. Even though all of his strength was exhausted in that instant, he still had to stand here. He must straighten his back!

If not for the Suss Fleet’s volley targeting the slender formation of the Feiyang Fleet, if not for the slight distraction and bewilderment of the Suss people upon the appearance of the Chuckna Fleet, if not for the careful circular defensive formation adopted during Chuckna’s Fleet jump...

His mind was a jumble of thoughts.

Zhang Pengcheng couldn’t imagine further.

Everything that happened at the moment of the attack flashed through his mind like lightning.

”Enemy attack!”

Just as he jumped out of the Jump Point, the advisor responsible for the energy scanner monitoring let out a piercing scream.

Before everyone could react, Chuckna’s [Unhindered Stride]-class Space Carrier [Heaven and Earth], ranked third in size in the universe, was shaking violently in the energy waves.

Standing by the simulation table discussing with the advisors, Zhang Pengcheng, although grabbing the edge due to the end of the vessel’s jump, was still flung out in an instant.

When he stood up with his bleeding forehead pressed, the entire bridge was already in chaos. Looking up, the display screen of the energy scanner showed hundreds of steep peaks rising in energy lines, turning his head towards the window outside, there were countless explosive white lights, shattered hulls, and flames rolling out.

When Zhang Pengcheng turned his head back, the scene before him instantly chilled his blood.

”Feiyang Fleet!” shouted an advisor: ”They.... they are preparing to jump!....” Zhang Pengcheng already couldn’t remember what was said after by the advisor. He only remembered the tragic scene and the noisy voices around him.

This was the most dangerous moment he had experienced since joining the army, as well as the most vile betrayal he had suffered!

The anger from the betrayal did not make Zhang Pengcheng lose his mind. On the contrary, he grabbed the stair railing of the central control console beside him and, with the calmest voice, fulfilled his duties as the fleet’s highest Commander.

”Zipper Formation!” This was Zhang Pengcheng’s first command given.

This formation is basically a staple in space combat. The vessels, in motion, mesh together like a zipper. Sacrificing the frontline ships to gain time for the rear ones. Although most Commanders learned this sacrificial fleet formation, few could actually use it on the battlefield.
