"Sir! We've received an unknown communication request. What's the location?"
The communications officer suddenly shouted.
"Connect me immediately!"
The commander's tone was clearly tinged with emotion.
The other crew members on the bridge also instinctively stopped making a sound.
The communication was connected.
A smooth bridge appeared on the 3D holographic screen, and standing directly in front of it was a neatly dressed, upright creature with two hands, two legs, and smooth skin.
Even though they were separated by the void, all the beings inside the bridge of the flagship of the escort fleet, including the commander, felt a sense of oppression. This was the sixth sense at the biological level.
It was as if they were facing not an ordinary intelligent creature commander, but a terrifying behemoth.
That feeling isn't wrong; the mental output relies on the entire Protos flagship.
However, despite the repression, it seems that the other party really has nothing to do with the aberrant entity.
The correspondent worried that the language barrier meant that relying on a translation device at close range would be useless if the two sides couldn't meet face-to-face, as the transmitted language would be largely unrecognizable.
Deciphering a new language is difficult if one has not been familiar with it extensively.
"Hello, friends of civilization in the universe."
A calm voice rang out directly from the minds of every person on the bridge, bypassing the machines and translators, clearly conveying the meaning to their consciousness.
The so-called communication request on the machine just now was more like a polite greeting, to give us time to prepare, when in fact the other party could have just called out directly.
Although the other person's mouth was opening and closing, it was indeed a pure spiritual transmission.
'But we can't!'
With this slightly frustrating feeling, the commander had no choice but to respond by sending a communication.
"Greetings, unknown and powerful fleet. Thank you for saving us."
The unknown race over there revealed an expression that resembled a smile.
"No need to thank me. The aberrant beings are the common enemy of all life in the universe, and Protoss is happy to slaughter them."
The word "slaughter" caused the commander's compound eyes to narrow.
Although it's just a simple sentence, it actually reveals some weighty information.
It is very likely that the aberrant beings' crushing slaughter and devouring of other cosmic life forms will be reversed when they encounter this unknown fleet or its civilization.
Because the tone was so casual, so matter-of-fact.
Li Shengyao was indeed not lying to them on this point. In the past ten years, humanity has launched numerous amphibious operations, and the Earth forces have generally crushed the aberrant beings, with few or even no casualties.
"Let me introduce ourselves. We are the Protoss, a Protoss race from Aiur. After this battle is over, we will learn about this universe from you."
Before the escort fleet could send any further communications, the mysterious entity calling itself Protos unilaterally cut off communication.
Arrogant?
To be fair, if we had encountered a relatively inferior civilization and happened to have saved them, we would probably have demanded an audience with them directly, without even sending a friendly greeting via communications.
Now I'd like to know when they'll finish the battle, and whether the fleet is planning to open fire.
However, Li Shengyao clearly did not want to do that, and instead directly ordered the Psionic Warriors to be deployed.
For the Protos Space Fleet, the corpses of the abominations are a valuable resource for the World Tree, and it's better to recycle them unless absolutely necessary.
...
The rest and preparation room for the psionic warriors.
"Bang!" A fist slammed into the locker.
"It's finally our turn!"
More than a hundred soldiers rushed out of the maintenance room within seconds and arrived at their vehicles, which they had prepared in advance, in roughly the same amount of time.
Half a minute later, almost every single one of the Colossus burst out of the hatch of the central flagship, Protoss.
These more than one hundred Colossus units are vastly different from the previous standard equipment.
Whether it's the color scheme, the strangeness of the weapons, or even their size, they all break through the standard fifteen meters for giant weapons; some are too big and some are too small.
Even the biomass and active metal armor have their own distinct sections, which, rather than reflecting combat power, give people a sense of flamboyant individuality.
As if to make the alien escort fleet and the mining ships that had stopped visible, when Li Shengyao disconnected the communication, apart from the Protos fleet main force, the other Colossi and Phoenix fighters could be clearly seen in the holographic image of the alien fleet.
It seemed to be actively accommodating the scanning system.
"More mechs have appeared! Only 123?"
At this moment, the alien fleet was filled with this astonished question.
More than a hundred? What can they do?
If there were alchemical creatures here, they could tell them what it would be like to experience over a hundred beings with attack strength and bio-field equivalent to high-level silver creatures charging at you.
However, soon, the alien fleet will be able to witness that unforgettable moment with their own eyes.
"Brothers, the soldiers in front did a good job, but they only eliminated less than a third of the space monsters, and they still couldn't get close to those monster civilization fleets that were firing indiscriminately."
"Then we'll gladly accept the rest, hehe!"
"Everyone, activate your psionic sensing state!"
"Received!" "Received!" "Received!"
These few sentences were sent on the internal communication channel of the Psionic Warriors Brigade.
Immediately afterwards, they all used their combined spiritual power with that of their vehicles to roar loudly.
"For El~".
Swoosh~~
More than a hundred dim rays of light suddenly appeared, instantly traversing the cosmic distance that the Phoenix Fighter and the regular Colossus squadron had just flown for a while.
They appeared directly on the outskirts of the combat zone.
...
Throughout the bridges of the alien fleet and in the cabins viewing split-screen perspectives, the hearts of all races trembled violently.
"So fast!"
With just over a hundred psionic warriors, they subtly encircled the entire battle area, even including the fleets of those monstrous civilizations.
This ridiculous situation did not elicit laughter from any of the alien soldiers who witnessed it; in fact, it stirred a strong sense of foreboding even among the beings in the alien civilization's fleet.
...
wing!
Wings resembling particles of light appeared faintly behind each psionic warrior, but those who squinted to look a second time often could no longer see them, leading them to suspect it was a hallucination.
These psionic warriors, like great warriors of ancient times, struck bizarre poses. Their weapons seemed to come alive, sliding automatically into their hands, while others floated eerily around them.
This is a fusion of martial arts and "immortal magic," a secret technique of sudden enlightenment through combined evolution.
These actions seem to stretch out the timeline, appearing somewhat unhurried, but in reality, they are only a matter of a moment.
In the next instant, all the psionic warriors on the screens of the alien fleets and the spawned civilization fleets disappeared.
Have they gone into hiding again?
No, it was just too fast. Once the intelligent system recalculated the appropriate frequency, their images finally reappeared on the screen.
Like a rapidly moving beam of light, all the monstrous beasts in its path crumbled. If you were to watch a segment in slow motion, you would find that their movements were incredibly swift, a stark contrast to their seemingly sluggish opponents.
Some attacks were even beyond comprehension; for example, after a fleeting glimpse of a silver mech, a massive burst of lightning linked together hundreds of abominations, instantly extinguishing their life force.
At the same time, large bursts of light appeared, from the continuously exploding spaceships.
The mechs were even more efficient at destroying the spaceship than the spaceship's main cannons, of course, referring to the alien civilization's main cannons.
