Chapter 1334.

The Underworld Dragon that had lost its head was as if petrifying magic had been applied, frozen motionless in the void.

However, its severed neck area ejected bright purple light, and the light was getting more and more intense.

Wang Chen, who had just successfully beheaded the dragon, immediately had a creepy feeling.

Without thinking, he maneuvered the God of War mech to fly backward and raised the power of the four engines to the maximum!

At the same time, those Spectral Battleships and Spectral Fighters scattered around the Spectral Dragon fled in all directions as if the end had come, and some of them even crashed together.

The pilots on the Imperial Army’s side also realized that it was not good, and retreated after them.

After only a few seconds, a purple light shot out from the headless Ghost Dragon’s entire body, and then the whole thing exploded.

It was as if this airspace had detonated a 10 billion ton nuclear bomb, and the shockwaves generated by the explosion indiscriminately swept over both the enemy and us, who had not retreated in time, and drowned them in the violent and incomparable energy storm.

Due to his timely reaction, Wang Chen retreated the fastest, thus avoiding the first wave of impact from the self-detonation of the Underworld Dragon.

Although he was swept by the energy aftermath, he was able to carry it off by relying on his force field shield.

It was just that a lot of his comrades were sacrificed.

It couldn’t be helped.

And due to the fall of the Spectral Dragon, the situation on the battlefield was even more skewed towards the side of the Imperial Army.

Wang Dust took the opportunity to withdraw within the cabin of the Glory Cruiser.

The missiles of the Battle Spirit Mecha had run out, and the Chopper had been damaged, all of which needed to be replenished and replaced.

After the fierce battle in front of them, the losses of the Radiance were not small, its power and defense had dropped by more than 25%, but it was still under the cover of many destroyers and frigates, pouring powerful firepower into the Psi Corps.

Since the Iron Lion Cluster’s space fortress didn’t have any Titan Battleships stationed in it, it was the one with the strongest firepower, except for this fortress’s several ultra-large caliber main guns.

After a short replenishment of ammunition, Wang Dust drove the Battle God Mecha into the vastness of space once again.

However, the battle situation at this time had completely favored the side of the Imperial Army.

The destruction of the Underworld Dragon had undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to this Underworld Legion, and the former’s sudden self-destruction had dragged many of its fellow armies into the bottomless abyss.

The battle losses of the Spectral Legion had exceeded one-third, and more than half of the ghost fighters released earlier had been shot down, not to mention destroying the space fortress and occupying the stargate, and now it was a question of whether or not they could go back.

The Underworld is not an emotionless life form, realizing that the end of the defeat is irreversible, they have withdrawn to the stargate area, trying to escape by using the power of the stargate to leap.

However, the Imperial Army, which had already gained momentum, couldn’t possibly watch the remnants of their enemies escape peacefully.

A fierce battle of pursuit began!

Since the jumping of the Underworld warships needed time to prepare, once it was interfered with, it would not be successful, so the two fleets of the Imperial Army dropped a large number of space torpedoes into the stargate area.

These powerful space torpedoes were not aimed directly at the Phantom Battleships, but rather interfered with the stability of the stargate space through explosions, preventing the latter from leaping.

This tactic proved to be very effective, except for a few Psi warships that managed to escape by jumping under the cover of their companions, most of them were lost under the siege of the imperial fleet.

Some of the Psi ships attempted to rush into the Iron Lion star cluster, using the cover of the planet to escape.

But the Imperial Army had long been on guard against this, and divided their forces to sink them one by one, without letting a single one escape.

This battle around the stargate was declared over after an hour.

Wang Dust once again returned to the Radiance.

He left the War God Mecha to the logistics personnel in the battleship for maintenance, and went to the main cabin on the upper deck himself.

Although they had just won a great victory, almost completely annihilating a Psi Legion, not many of the crew members of the Radiance cruiser had smiles on their faces.

This was because in this battle, the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet had suffered great losses.

Because of his status as a Glory Noble, and because he was a Dragon Cavalry Pilot, Wang Dust had the authority to access the battle data.

It was easy to understand the losses.

And in this Battle of the Stargate, the Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet, which had traveled from afar, had lost a total of five destroyers and thirty-seven frigates, with hundreds of assault ships.

As for the armed mechs, battle losses exceeded four figures!

The full human casualties had yet to be tallied, but it was predicted to be no less than seventy thousand – just the number of sacrifices!

The Glory cruiser was mostly intact, but many of the pilots who had gone out to attack had not been able to return.

There were also some casualties among the crew.

In such a situation, how could one be happy with a victory?

After resting in his cabin for a while, Wang Dust uploaded his battle data through the internal network.

Every mech in the Imperial Army was equipped with a special recorder that could accurately record battle results.

In this way, the merits were determined.

Wang Dust’s greatest battle result was undoubtedly the Underworld Dragon, and although destroying this strongest weapon of the Underworld Clan was not his merit alone, it was completely fine to account for 60 or 70% of it.

This single credit was enough for Wang Dust to be promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel and more.

Coupled with the Ghost Fighter and the Underworld Battleship that he had shot down, it was estimated that there would be no problem even getting promoted two levels!

Although Wang Dust didn’t care much about it.

After a few more hours, the reorganized Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet completed its search and rescue efforts and berth into the Bastion’s base.

Although the battle was over, there was still a lot of follow-up work to be done, and the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet also needed to replenish its battleships and personnel.

But these things had nothing to do with Wang Chen, and did not want to be “confined” in the base of the fortress, so he applied to the top for a temporary leave of absence.

This application was approved on the same day.

So Wang Chuan left the space fortress and came to the capital of Iron Lion Star, Lion Heart City, for vacation.

Iron Lion Star was a very unique life planet, its land accounted for 75% of the planet’s surface area, while the desert Gobi and rusty plateau accounted for another 75% of the land area, the habitable area was not very large.

However, the mineral resources of Iron Lion Star are extremely rich, more than 98% of the currently known minerals can be found on this planet, some of the special mineral reserves are very high, the quality is also very good.

Therefore, the Empire has invested huge manpower and material resources in the development of the Iron Lion Planet, which has led to the booming economy of this planet.

The population of Iron Lion Star was only a mere two billion, mainly concentrated in a dozen large and super large cities, of which the capital, Lionheart City, had more than three hundred million permanent residents.

With such a large population living in a livable area, it was inevitable that there would be overcrowding, and the scale of the buildings was the largest and densest that Wang Chen had ever seen.

Lionheart City could be called a super modernized cyberpunk city!
