learly attacked by animals, and not just one kind.Ripples furrowed her brow, rummaging through their temporary encampment. She found a stone pot, a blackened clay jar, and a torn piece of animal hide....Bai Yu calmly told Hewlett the results of their self-investigation. Hewlett's face also darkened considerably. It wasn't that they weren't careful, it was just that the nature of the meteor cluster made them unprepared.

“As long as we can leave this asteroid field, we can contact the 718th Fleet headquarters. We still have small airships. Let Dodo escort the airship to send a message. We will first rescue the people on the other spaceship and repair the ship's engine room while waiting for reinforcements.”

Bai Yu made the decision immediately based on the current situation.

"Alright, I'll take your word for it! Just to be safe, we're sending three airships. If we encounter another attack by the Oktevites, as long as Doudou can protect one airship out of the asteroid field, that's all that matters."

Hewlett immediately said, he was really worried, tens of thousands of people were waiting for a life-saving!

"Okay, I'll arrange that right away!"

Bai Yu immediately turned around and began to deploy with his deputy.

Dodo listened to their entire conversation, but she only shook her flower plate in approval. After an hour, Dodo set off again with the airship.

On the other front line, the Alliance's superpowered beings and Xenos combat unit had engaged with the Outer Ships of the Oktovian invaders. Ripples watched through the light screen as the ships were bombarded, and comrades consumed by particle cannons, her expression growing ever more grave.

"Liang Qian, notify all Esper and Stellar Beast combat teams to retreat. Do not engage Ocotervis star people's ships head-on."

The ripple effect commanded immediately.

"Yes!"

Liang Qin immediately issued an order.

The squads of operatives with the ability to conceal attacks and the star beasts immediately began retreating.

The ripples then summoned its own intelligent brain screen and began communicating with Little Six:

"Xiao Liu, how's it going over there"

"Ripple, I've already infiltrated the Octovian's network here. I'm decrypting their messages, but it's proving to be a bit tricky."

Xiao Liu spoke frankly, knowing his boss was in a tough situation. If he tried to exaggerate and put on airs, it would only backfire and hurt his boss's chances. He could easily see the consequences for himself if that happened.

"Did you disrupt their communications"

"All communications on the pathways I was using to infiltrate were severed by me."

"So there's still a part of the communication that hasn't been cut off"

"Yes!"

"Can you control their main ship's large particle cannons"

If that were the case, I would be exposed, and they would definitely close in on me immediately.

Xiaoliu hasn't become arrogant enough to think he is the best in the universe. He made it clear to Lianyi about the situation he faced after being exposed.

“I'll buy you some time. Don't try to decipher the Okotevians' messages, just download their database and then find a way to activate the main ship's self-destruct sequence. That will take out the surrounding warships as well, relieving pressure on our side.”

The ripples recede, seeking a lower path.

She subconsciously felt that she had to figure out why the Oktovians launched such a fierce attack on the Alliance. Before knowing if there would be any chance to command the battle again, she had to get what she wanted in one go.

"This is possible, but their database is very large, your brain's memory is not enough."

You'll be directly connected to the 10th Battleship. I'll have them set aside a storage unit for me alone.

Ripple said decisively.

"Okay, I've started the download."

Ripples immediately turned to face An Mengmeng and said:

"Give me a separate storage space. From now on, all the information returned should be stored separately in this space, and it should be marked as top secret. No one is authorized to access it."

"Yes, Commander."

An Mengmeng immediately began to clear a path.

Because the current command system was built by Xiaoliu, he quickly obtained the transmission pathway and began uploading the data he had downloaded.

Anmengmeng didn't pay attention at first. As the transmission speed increased and the symbols flashed across the screen in front of her, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped.

"Report! Commander, now transmitting."

Captain Deru also noticed the fleeting symbol on An Mengmeng's light screen, and he was equally surprised.

"Principal He, what is this"

"After our distress signal was intercepted, I had the AI system follow the interception route and invade their system. This is stolen information, hopefully it will be of help to us."

Ripple gave a simple explanation.

Dru coughed lightly and stopped asking. The other party looked like a capable commander at first glance, in this situation he just needed to do his best to support him.

The Octevians stood their ground for a time, confirming that the defenses before them were nothing more than a ruse. Especially after receiving reports from the flanking squad, they knew there wouldn't be reinforcements arriving in the short term. With a roar, they launched a full-scale assault on the line.

The ripples immediately issued a counterattack order:

"Qingluan, notify all warships to commence long-range artillery bombardment. Remember to avoid being surrounded by the enemy."

"Yes!"

At Ripples' command, ten warships instantly formed a flanking position and began launching long-range attacks.

The Octarians wouldn't just sit there and take the beating, so they quickly changed their formation. They left some ships to guard their main warship, while the rest scattered, facing the Alliance's warships three to one.

The ripples, they were also taken care of over there.

"Headmaster He, shall we retreat"

Drew asked.

"Hold on a little longer, now is not the time to retreat."

Ripples shook his head.

She was well aware of the disparity in strength between them, not just in numbers but also in weaponry. What she wanted to do was shake the morale of the Octuvians.

"Xiaoliu, are you alright"

As the ripples spread, her spaceship was hit by a blast. Luckily, the warship's shield deflected it, but if they took two more hits, their defenses would be breached.

"I've located their self-destruct system, but I can't cover or modify it, only activate it."

Little Six immediately replied.

"Start!"

"Received!"

"Xiao Liu, don't let them forcibly shut down the self-destruct system."

Ripples added.

"Unless they manually disable it, I've set up a firewall. In Starfleet language, you just wait for the sound."

"Great!"

The ripple of her voice fell, and the battleship was hit by two more shells.

"Captain Drew, Commander He, the warship's defenses are damaged and cannot be reactivated for one hour."

Liang Qian immediately reported.

"Employ evasive tactics, and do your best to protect the warships from being hit."

"Yes!"

"Qingluan, the same order goes to the other warships. Now is not the best time to launch an attack."

The ripples turned their head and ordered again.

"Yes!"

Qingluan's typing speed was incredibly fast, and she immediately issued a new command.

The ripples were fixedly staring at the enemy's flagship, which had already stopped advancing. They should be in a hurry to defuse themselves.

"Xiao Liu, accelerate self-destruction!"

"Doing this!"

Little Six was also desperate, a segment of data that had already been calculated flashed out like a remnant.

Then everyone watched a silent explosion. The main warship of the Ocotevians exploded, and hundreds of surrounding warships were affected. For a moment, the shockwaves rippled outwards, even rocking their own ships.

"Order all warships to begin a full counter-attack!"tention to Xiangyi. After all, this woman is the enemy of her sister."Has the scar on her face healed too"Ripples smiled and asked.Xiang Yi's face was injured by Lei Yaojian. Her natal sword carried t...
