The Ark of the Fallen ceased the firefight, and millions of square-pyramid spaceships turned into streams of leaping light, far away from the Beacon Star battlefield, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. This posture of betraying teammates has obviously been refined over time, and it is extremely skilled.

As Ability God ran away with his troops, the battle situation suddenly changed.

Without strong foreign aid, the number of warships on the Ethereal Sect's side has been nearly halved. At this time, the Lighthouse Star defenders have taken back all the peripheral fleets and shrunk their defense lines. The fleets of both sides are evenly matched, and the Ethereal Religion can no longer maintain its suppressive power.

"Damn it..." Sagman gritted his teeth and looked at this scene, but his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and he was not in the mood to accuse the Ability God of betraying his alliance.

He knew that although the two sides cooperated, the senior leaders of the Ethereal Religion did not have much hope for the Ability God. It was precisely because the senior management had full confidence in the integrity of the Ability God that they assembled six Transcendent A Grades with the Scepter of the Ten Thousand Gods to launch the

A surprise attack, intending to resolve the battle before the alien god enters the scene.

In fact, according to the calculations of the Ethereal Religion, the success rate of Sagaman and others' actions is really high. Six against three take the initiative. As long as they use the Scepter of the Gods to make Milizaus lose his combat effectiveness, the plan will be 80% successful.

It is not impossible to capture three Imperial Transcendent A Grades alive.

However, unexpectedly, Han Xiao's backup plan for safety took effect, and the secretly observing foreign aid Austin intervened in the situation, turning the three-on-six situation into a four-on-six situation.

Although there was only one more person, it greatly reduced the combat power of the six members of the Ethereal Religion.

What's more important is that the great killer weapon of the Ten Thousand Gods Scepter was actually restrained by Black Star using strange means, and was even sealed!

If not, I'm afraid we would have captured the Black Star, grabbed the Evolution Cube, and evacuated with the fleet... This thought flashed through the minds of the five Sagmans, and they became increasingly annoyed.

Observing the current unfavorable situation, Sagman only felt that his brain hurt badly.

If the Ability God simply retreated and the six of them were left, there would actually be a chance to complete the mission.

Because the previous participation of the gods in the battle was not useless. After fighting for so long, Milizaus was more seriously injured and his combat power dropped significantly. Austin's Secret Magic Palace was damaged to a certain extent, and many magic circuits malfunctioned, resulting in a large number of magic circles.

It failed, and Beoni was also in poor condition. Only one black star was still standing...but his mechanical army also suffered heavy losses.

The six of them are all in good condition, at least their combat power is more completely preserved than the four of Han Xiao. If they continue to fight, the chance of winning is still very high.

However, Dillon was accidentally captured by Black Star, and this incident caused Sagman's plan to fail.

In this battle, Black Star showed new abilities that were not seen in intelligence. Sagman had to admit that he was indeed wary of Black Star. He didn't know what other trump cards this guy had hidden.

"What should we do now?" Nika frowned and asked in the telepathy communication network.

Sagman's eyes swept across the huge interstellar battlefield, taking in the scene of fleet exchanges. He saw that the Ethereal Religion's fleet had turned from advancing layer by layer to a stalemate, unable to break through the Empire's fleet's heavy defenses and attack the ships they were assembling.

Stargate.

He had a livid face, and his tone sounded like he was chewing steel and spitting out bloody iron slag, "...inform the commander that we are retreating!"

"Are you going to abandon Dillon?" Sisko's eyes were unkind.

"Sagman is right." Nika nodded, "Dylon was captured, the alien gods evacuated, and it became five against four. The opponent still had hostages in their hands. The quick solution plan has failed. What we have to do is

There are only two ways left in front of us, one is to continue to struggle, the other is to retreat decisively.

The opponent is not in good condition. If we continue to fight, there is no doubt that we can definitely win, but time is a problem. We have lost two combat forces. It will be difficult to resolve the battle in the short term. Don’t forget, Glittering World is the empire’s territory.

We have no foundation here, only the secret star gate is our escape route. The longer we fight, the greater the risk."

Taylor Di also interjected: "And the Ability God wants to use us to cut off the queen, we can't let him succeed."

"Then Dylan..."

"The risk of rescuing him is too high, and it is likely to stimulate Black Star to kill people. We have no choice but to abandon him. At least he can save a life. Afterwards, we can only rely on the Ethereal Religion to negotiate with the Scarlet Empire." Nika shook his head, even if the empire was willing.

If hostages are exchanged, the Ethereal Sect will definitely suffer a lot of bleeding, and the empire may not be willing to hand over the hostages.

His good friend was held in Black Star's hands. He didn't know how he would be treated by the empire, but he was powerless. Sisko was in an extremely bad mood.

"While the empire is still erecting the star gate, we retreat." Sagman paused and spoke in a complicated tone, "Notify the higher-ups that this operation... failed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood dropped.

Six against four, and no one has caught one of them. It’s such a shame!

What was supposed to be a sure-shot operation actually failed, and the Scepter of All Gods suffered serious damage. How would the top leaders of Ethereal Religion view them?

Almost every step to reverse the situation was made by Han Xiao. If eyes could kill someone, Sageman and others had already stabbed him full of holes.

Although they don’t want to admit it, they know that they were forced to retreat by Black Star!

Sisko looked at the seriously injured Dillon from a distance, his eyes full of apology.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Di Lun knew that he had been abandoned, and his heart ached. This feeling of being treated as an abandoned son was uncomfortable. Thinking of his treatment after becoming a prisoner, his heart kept sinking.

The effect of super silence has passed, and Di Lun's super powers have been restored. However, all the attacks with real damage just now fell on his body. Without the continuous defensive barrier of super powers, his body is not fleshy enough.

, was directly hit hard, and his combat power plummeted. If Han Xiao hadn't wanted to capture him alive, he felt that he would even be killed, and he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

At this time, Han Xiao was close at hand, and the arm around Di Lun's neck contained explosive power. Di Lun was not a martial artist. Although his physical fitness far exceeded the natural disaster level, it was not good enough at the Transcendent A level. In addition, various

There is a mechanical trap that Dillon cannot break free from, and the mechanical troops are targeting him. If he resists rashly, he is joking with his own life and Black Star.

The five Sagmans withdrew to the Ethereal Religion fleet, entered the spaceship one after another, and followed the Ethereal Religion fleet to begin their evacuation. The retreat was organized and no flaws were exposed.

Relying on its superior maneuverability, the Ethereal Religion's fleet gradually broke away from the fight and gradually distanced itself from the Imperial fleet.

The three of Milizaus came to Black Star, and Beoni felt lucky to survive the disaster:

"Fortunately, you caught one of the enemy's Transcendent A Grades, otherwise they wouldn't have retreated so easily... This guy is the 'Sea Spirit' Di Lun of the Ethereal Religion. His fighting ability is not bad, but you caught him all at once.

What methods did you use against him?"

Han Xiao glanced at Beoni strangely, "Believe me, you are not unfamiliar with this trick at all."

When he cooperated with the Ability God in the Central Star Sea, Beoni was hit by a genuine "Super Silence" move, and the memory was still fresh, but he did not expect that Han Xiao also used this ability.

Super Silence is the nemesis of superpowers. There are probably not many superpowers in the universe who can defeat the Ability God in a one-on-one fight. The Ability God character card in Han Xiao's hand has a total of two opportunities to use.

It was used once against Di Lun, and next time, Han Xiao planned to leave it to the Ability God himself.

Before the war started, he drew two blank character cards as a random reward, but he did not use them on the God of Power. After all, the God of Power collected too many powers. The possibility of drawing the Super Silence for the second time was too slim.

These messy abilities were of little use to him, and he still had to keep them to copy Leonard's perfect weapon sense.

On the other side, Milizaus watched Sagman and others retreat, and asked in a deep voice: "Sagman and the others have run away, should we pursue them?"

"Don't count me out if you pursue me." Austin gathered his robe and said calmly: "Black Star, I have repaid the favor I owed you. Now you owe me a big favor."

"I know." Han Xiao was helpless. To be honest, if Austin hadn't had the integrity to carry out his promise this time, people would definitely have died on the empire's side.

Austin nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to look at the forbidden witch troops who had suffered heavy losses, with a look of heartache in his eyes. These people were his elite, and it was very difficult to train them.

As for the badly damaged Temple of Secrets, Austin didn't feel bad at all. He just needed to spend some time repairing it. He didn't take the cost of materials seriously... As a noble magician who has escaped from vulgar tastes, making money is as easy as breathing.

Just as simple.

Austin is not an ally of the empire, and it is not easy to ask others. Milizaus then looked at Beoni, "What about you?"

"Don't come to me again for adventurous matters." Beoni refused directly.

Just kidding, after finally getting through this crisis, the enemies have retreated. He doesn't want to put himself in danger anymore. It would be better to stay here and wait for reinforcements.

"You are really a coward." Milizaus scorned.

"I'm the most fragile. I'm afraid of death. That's okay." Beoni snorted and turned to look at Han Xiao, "Do you want to pursue me?"

"What do you think?" Han Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, "If Austin and you don't go, then why should I chase after you? I think I won't die."

"You don't want to go..." Milizaus suddenly changed the topic, his tone seemed to be relieved, "Then I'll be relieved."

The three of them all looked at him.

"What are you looking at? If you see the hole in my chest, I am the most injured. Do you still want to force me to catch up and get beaten? Can you be considerate to the elderly dragon?"

Han Xiao was speechless.

If you don’t go there yourself, then what the hell are you asking...

But it was indeed the case. Except for him who was in good spirits, the other three were in poor condition. The risk of pursuit was too great, so it was no wonder that they were unwilling.

At this time, Tarrokov also contacted several people, his tone was shocked.

"Black Star, you captured a Transcendent A Grade from the Ethereal Religion?"

"As you can see." Han Xiao turned to look in the direction of the main ship and casually touched Di Lun's head. It was wet and greasy, but quite round.

"Very good! You made Ethereal Religion pay the price, so we have a bargaining chip in our hands!"

Tarrokov sounded excited for a moment, paused, and then became serious again, "The Ethereal Religion is evacuating. I will send troops to track it. You stay here with the main force on standby. Don't take any unauthorized actions to pursue the enemy."

"Don't worry, even if you beg us, we won't go." Han Xiao was helpless.

"That's best." Tarrokov nodded.

After resolving the Ethereal Religion's surprise attack, not only did Black Star not lose any of its high-level combat power, Black Star even captured the enemy's Transcendent A Grade, achieving great success and achieving astonishing results.

Tarrokov did not want a few people to follow the team in pursuit, and the Star Gate was assembled near the Lighthouse Star. This thing needs to calibrate the space coordinates and cannot be moved and used at the same time. If the Ethereal Religion feints a shot and suddenly counterattacks after leaving the Lighthouse Star range,

Using a move to lure the enemy deeper will only increase the risk and may ruin the advantage that Black Star finally gained.

Tarrokov is not in a hurry to pursue the Ethereal Religion to expand his results. As a veteran, he likes to fight steadily.

Therefore, he only plans to send out scout troops to track down the Ethereal Religion and lock the opponent's escape route. As for Black Star and others, they will stay at the Lighthouse Star and wait for reinforcements to arrive. This is the safest way and will not give the enemy any chance.

Following the Ark of the Fallen, the Ethereal Religion fleet also left the battlefield, turning into a stream of light and escaping from sight.

Tarrokov sent a small force to follow, while the remaining large force guarded the engineering force and assembled the star gate step by step.
To be continued...
