Chapter 831 Crippling The Reinforcements
So, these armies decided to send a part of their forces as reinforcements to other planetoids.
"Brothers! Sisters! Show those puny humans our power!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"We\'ll conquer your planetoids first! Then it\'s your turn, Martians!"
"For our Empire!"
"For our Race!"
"For Peace! For Prosperity!"
Loaded into a hundred ships, thirty thousand Abyssals were en route to a nearby planetoid Rhodes.
Rhodes was at a critical juncture as 300,000 Humans faced an equal number of Abyssals.
The 30,000 reinforcements would tilt the favor toward the Abyssals. Depending on the situation, Rhodes would get anywhere between 30,000-60,000 more reinforcement.
No matter how hard the human army would decide to fight, they would be crushed and Rhodes would be conquered.
Or at least, that\'s the plan.
"C-Captain, who is that guy, and what is he doing here?" The Vice Captain of the fleet pointed outside the window and asked.
"Huh?" The Captain followed his subordinate\'s direction and saw a young man in white in the dark space.
He was right in front of the fleet, but just three hundred miles away. Usually, their ships should\'ve detected him. Even if it didn\'t, the pilots should have.
But only the peak level 7 Vice Captain was able to sense the presence of that man!
\'This means…\' The captain\'s eyebrows jumped and he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Turn around! Escape! Now!"
His order was played across the hundred ships and every Abyssal was confused for a moment.
But they didn\'t disobey the superior\'s command and cooperated. The pilots veered the ship and turned around.
Even though they were slightly dissatisfied with \'fleeing\', they followed the orders.
But when the captain yelled the most dreaded name \'Varian!\', the pilots let go of all inhibitions and supercharged their ships.
As a result, the hundred swarmed ships fled in a hundred different directions.
"What the…" Varian, who had just teleported to the main ship was dumbfounded as he watched the ships disperse in all directions.
Even if he tried his best, he could only catch five or six before he lost sight of the rest. These spaceships were damn fast!
But Varian of course didn\'t leave it like that.
Lightning arcs crackled around his body like snakes and with a snap, the lightning arcs themselves were teleported to five spaceships in the distance.
The spaceships were literally struck by lightning.
Under the lightning wrath, not a single Abyssal survived. Even the captain, who was unlucky enough to be in one of the five attacked ships, was burnt to coke.
In the dark space, the exploding spaceships resembled beautiful fireworks.
But only Varian appreciated them. The rest of the spectators feared them.
"How is that even possible!"
"We should already be out of his lightning sense!"
The Abyssals watched this scene with horror even as their ships pulled away from Varian.
"Only five out of a hundred?" Varian shook his head and channeled lightning mana along with space power.
This time, he also added his water mana along with telekinetic and psychic powers. Soundlessly, a few dark green seeds appeared on Varian\'s palm.
"Let\'s test my ranged attacks." Varian smiled and used his space power to teleport his \'powers\' to the enemy location.
The lightning mana that was leaving his body and turning into lightning bolts was teleported to the spaceships midway. It finished the transformation after teleportation and struck the enemies.
The same happened with water mana, but only it turned into countless ice bullets.
The telekinetic power turned into hundreds of invisible spears and destroyed five ships.
The psychic power, on the other hand, was already programmed to create a chaotic illusion.
Once it was teleported near the spaceships, it drowned the Abyssals in the illusion. The spaceships collided with each other and the Abyssals in them fought with each other kicking off a carnage.
Finally, the seeds that Varian teleported to the ships sprouted and turned into long vines in a breath and enveloped the ships.
Just as the Abyssals started to react, the vines destroyed the engine of the spaceships and caused them to detonate, resulting in fatal explosions.
"What a wonderful sight." Varian complimented with a smile.
He just finished off fifty spaceships. The remaining fifty that he couldn\'t catch, he didn\'t chase.
"Boo, where\'s the next reinforcement detected?"
"It\'s in…"
Three hours passed by quickly.
Enigma was busy assisting the human level 9s while Varian engaged in preventing the reinforcements.
Since the reinforcements were scattered all across the planetoid belt, Varian had to spend a lot of time traveling.
Thankfully, he negated the time wasted in travel with quick battles.
He had already repelled fifteen reinforcements and killed more than two hundred thousand Abyssals already.
But.
"They aren\'t stopping their crazy plan, suicidal idiots."
The Abyssals kept didn\'t stop sending reinforcements.
They were sending out two or three at once, forcing Varian to pick one and drop others.
Varian did indeed pick one and left two others. But once he was done dealing with the first batch, he went to the planetoids where these reinforcements invaded and cleaned them up.
It was time-consuming, but he ensured that none of the thirty remaining planetoids were conquered.
What\'s more, since the Abyssals kept sending more and more reinforcements, the human army in these fallen planetoids gained breathing room.
In ten of these thirty fallen planetoids, the human army formed a stable line of defense and turned the inevitable defeat into a war that could be protracted for at least a week.
Twenty planetoids, however, were doomed.
The human army on these planetoids was reduced to less than 20% of their Abyssal counterpart. In a few hours, they\'d be slaughtered to the last man or woman.
After repelling another batch of reinforcement, the Ghostship rushed to a nearby planetoid where a batch of reinforcements was about to land.
"Forty thousand Abyssals? Fuck!" Varian prepared to kill as many as he could and drive away the rest.
But the sky turned red and a female Abyssal landed from the clouds.
Clad in crimson armor, she was looking at him with undisguised killing intent.
"Varian!" She gripped the sharp side of her sword so hard that her palm started to bleed.
Then, she waved her hand at Varian. The droplets of blood fell on his face as the female Abyssal\'s cold voice shook the sky.
"I, Alvira Everblood here to avenge my brother, Alec Everblood."
