This wait was agonizing for Consul Ernest.

He paced back and forth in his office.

Meanwhile, his adjutant and subordinates kept trying to contact the eight legion fleets, but kept receiving messages that they could not make contact.

They also realized something was wrong.

Suddenly, Consul Ernest straightened up and looked at his adjutant: "Immediately convey my order: all Holy Radiant Empire expeditionary fleets on all fronts cease all military operations."

If you are currently engaged in combat, immediately withdraw from the battlefield and reach a safe location, then await my next orders.

Upon hearing the governor's words, the adjutant was startled: "Sir, we are currently fighting alongside the Warhammer Alliance, especially in the Black Tiger Starfield battlefield."

If we unilaterally cease military operations, it will inevitably have an impact...

"I don't care about any impact right now, all I know is that..."

"The interests of the Holy Radiant Empire are our top priority!" Consul Ernest said solemnly, his eyes bloodshot.

"Yes...yes." The adjutant swallowed hard and went to give the order.

And then, finally, some 'good news' arrived.

"Your Excellency, we have made contact with one of the eight legion fleets you requested!" the adjutant said excitedly.

"Bring him directly to me!" Consul Ernest immediately ordered.

A video window appeared in front of Consul Ernest, opposite him was a captain with a flustered expression.

"Officer...Officer..." the captain stammered, showing none of the demeanor of a high-ranking officer.

"What's the situation on your end now?" Consul Ernest questioned.

The moment the captain opened his mouth, he broke down and burst into tears, crying out, "It's...it's terrifying!"

That starship... no! That was a behemoth! It unleashed a terrifying purple-gold beam of light that instantly destroyed any starship it struck!

It can even move horizontally, like a sharp sword slicing through the stars.

Our...our starship was shattered.

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!..."

The captain continued to recount the horrific scene that had unfolded.

Consul Ernest had no interest in listening to any of that; he went straight to the point: "What is the extent of your damage?"

The captain was stunned upon hearing this, then said with even greater horror, "Our legion fleet, three thousand interstellar warships... only one of us... survived..."

I am the interstellar supply ship located at the very rear of the Legion fleet...

As for the losses of the other fleets, I don't know... anyway... anyway, very few ships escaped."

Consul Ernest froze.

Nearly 25,000 interstellar warships... yet... yet only a few escaped?

In just a few minutes, 25,000 interstellar warships of the Holy Radiant Empire were gone.

Although he witnessed the scene firsthand.

But until he heard definite news, he still held onto a glimmer of hope.

But that hope was shattered.

As this captain said, there may be a few more interstellar warships that survived.

But compared to the total of 25,000 interstellar warships, what are those few surviving interstellar warships?

This can be described as a complete annihilation!

Moreover, apart from launching several attacks on the star shield of that mysterious giant ship, it did not cause any substantial damage to that giant ship at all!

collapse!

He, the governor, is now on the verge of a breakdown.

From the above descriptions, he already had a general idea in mind.

That means the JF-17 Legion already possesses T5-level interstellar warships.

If it weren't a T5-class interstellar warship, there's simply no way to explain the powerful combat capabilities of that mysterious behemoth.

They annihilated 3,000 elite interstellar warships of the Holy Wings Legion and 25,000 conventional legion fleets!

A single interstellar warship possesses such terrifying combat capabilities.

Besides the T5 starship, are there any other possibilities?

The biggest problem now facing this governor is...

That is... just how many of these terrifying behemoths does the Dragon Legion possess?

After a moment of silence, Consul Ernest directly contacted the supreme commanders of each war zone and issued his orders.

All Holy Glory Empire Expeditionary Fleets are to cancel their current combat missions and withdraw from the Warhammer United States at full speed, returning to the Holy Glory Empire.

Do not ask why, execute the command immediately.

This is an order issued by Consul Ernest.

It was also his decision.

On the other side, Zhao Chen and the others had anticipated the feat of this T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought.

But when it actually appeared before my eyes, the shock I felt was indescribable.

"Is this the Sword of Hades?" Xiong Xiangxiang exclaimed in surprise.

She also had some basic information about the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought, mainly from Zhao Chen's efforts to help her train the crew needed for the T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought more quickly.

She knew this attack pattern existed, but witnessing its effect firsthand was still unbelievable.

"Report: The attack of'Sword of Hades' has been completed, consuming 52% of the core energy."

Currently, 16% of core energy storage remains.

According to our reconnaissance, apart from a dozen or so enemy ships that were within the attack range of our'Sword of Hades,' all the remaining enemy ships were annihilated by our forces. The subordinate reported to Captain Xue Xiaoxiao.

Xue Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with excitement, and her chest was heaving.

This is the giant cannon she's been looking for!

With a single shot, 25,000 interstellar warships were wiped out!

Even her favorite T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship didn't have this terrifying ability.

Xue Xiaoxiao watched as the super cannon slowly retracted, returned to its original position, and the ship's hatch slowly closed!

This is the love of her dreams!

It's big, powerful, and can continuously output power; most importantly, it can move!

She absolutely loved this Hades-class interstellar dreadnought, and she decided that she would spend the rest of her life on this interstellar warship.

Born to be a member of this Hades, die to be a dead man on this Hades.

"The Hades Sword is a sustainable energy cannon, and it can also move horizontally during continuous output."

Just like before, it swept across an entire area.

However, both the duration and the distance traveled will increase energy consumption.

There are two other drawbacks. One is that the Hades-class interstellar dreadnought is unable to move when using this weapon mode.

Secondly, there's the range. Within range, everything can be destroyed; beyond range, there's nothing that can be done.

Anne acted as their guide.

Hades Domain and Hades Sword are the two trump cards of this T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought.

Zhao Chen finally understood why only one of these interstellar warships could be built.

Because it's just too powerful.

The 'Pluto Matrix Core,' a crucial technological core of the T5 Pluto-class interstellar dreadnought, is the foundation of all this. Zhao Chen even doubts that this technology is even at the T5 level!

It provides the necessary energy for this T5 Hades-class interstellar dreadnought without such a powerful heart.

It's simply impossible to move this terrifying behemoth!
