The standoff lasted a full week.
Although the coalition's offensive was fierce, it paid a heavy price under the layers of defense of the Matrix Galaxy - the wreckage of ships piled up in strips in the starry sky.
Even the star cluster-level powerhouses had to take turns resting due to excessive energy consumption.
But their advancement did not stop. The outer star port of the "Matrix Era", the higher plane of the Matrix Galaxy, had been completely destroyed. The defense line was forced to shrink inward, revealing the outline of the core area.
Meanwhile, the reef zone was unusually calm.
The four galaxy-level golden behemoths, like an insurmountable barrier, are entrenched deep in the star reefs. The pressure they emanate prevents the coalition forces from acting rashly.
The other half of the fleet led by Seth attempted several exploratory attacks, but was forced back by the giant fist of the Golden Behemoth and the dragon breath of the Dragon Knight. Apart from leaving behind a few smashed reconnaissance ships, there was almost no progress.
"The defense of these beasts is too strong!"
Seth slammed his fist on the table in the command cabin, his face livid as he looked at the energy reading of the Golden Behemoth on the tactical screen.
"Our anti-behemoth weapons are almost ineffective against them, and the terrain of the reef zone restricts the fleet's deployment. If we continue to waste time, we will only be dragged to death by Martin!"
The adjutant handed over a battle report: "Lord Seth, news has come from the Matrix Era that the main force of the coalition has broken through the outer defense line. The masters of the Xuanhuang Realm have asked us to resolve the trouble in the reef zone as soon as possible and return to support the main force."
Seth scratched his hair irritably, his eyes sweeping across the screen, at the four golden behemoths leisurely resting on the outer star reefs - they seemed certain that the coalition forces would not dare to go deeper, and even their vigilance had relaxed a lot.
"We can't wait any longer. We can only take a risky move."
He stood up suddenly, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Pass the order down, mobilize all heavy firepower ships and concentrate bombardment on the star reefs in the southeast corner to blast open a passage! I don't believe that these four beasts won't go to support!"
The tranquility of the reef zone was finally about to be broken. Meanwhile, in the starry sky, the artillery fire from the core area of the Matrix Era became increasingly intense.
Inside the command ship in the reef zone, Martin's eyes were fixed on the tactical screen. The slowly moving trajectory of the coalition fleet left a clear afterimage on the screen.
When the area of "Southeast Corner" was highlighted, he tapped his fingertips on the virtual star map, his eyes darkening.
"Want to tear open a gap from the southeast corner?"
He muttered to himself and drew a circle with his fingertips in the southeast corner of the area where the star reefs were densely covered.
Although the density of star reefs there is high, there are several channels with weaker energy turbulence hidden inside. It is obvious that the other party has done their homework.
After a moment, Martin closed his eyes and sank into his spirit. "Eric."
"I'm here." Eric's voice, with the unique calmness of a dragon knight, sounded in his mind.
"The coalition forces are mobilizing ships to head towards the southeast corner, intending to break through."
Martin's instructions were concise and clear.
"Lead your Cluster-class and Stellar-class Dragon Knights to engage the enemy covertly. When their formation loosens, attack from the flanks to disrupt their deployment. Don't engage them head-on."
"Understood." Eric responded without any extra words.
The communication was cut off, Martin opened his eyes, and looked at the light spots on the screen representing the Dragon Knight Corps, which began to move quietly - they were like sharp arrows blending into the shadows of the reef.
Sneaking towards the direction the coalition forces are turning.
In the star reefs in the southeast corner, energy turbulence is still surging silently.
Martin knew that Eric's surprise attack would not completely defeat the enemy, but it could delay time. More importantly, it could test the true confidence of the coalition forces in this attack.
"It's better to make a bigger noise."
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, tapping his fingertips on the table lightly, "Let those coalition forces see that there are more than just golden behemoths in the reef belt."
Outside the window, the four golden behemoths seemed to sense something. They slowly raised their heads, their golden pupils looking towards the southeast corner.
Four golden behemoths lay in the shadow of the star reef, their golden pupils fixed on the movements of the coalition fleet.
When they saw those ships carrying heavy firepower slowly moving away from the main formation and heading towards the southeast corner, their sturdy limbs tensed slightly and they waited patiently for the opportunity.
A moment later, the roar of energy collision came from the southeast corner - that was the signal that the dragon knights were engaging in battle with the heavy firepower fleet.
Almost at the same time, Martin's command exploded in their minds: "Attack."
"roar--!"
A deafening roar resounded throughout the reef zone, and the huge bodies of the four golden behemoths suddenly blurred, and the next second they flashed in front of the void shield of the coalition main fleet.
They swung their giant fists like mountains, and with strong winds that tore through the void, they smashed hard into the energy shield that was flashing with light blue light.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Amidst the continuous loud noises, the Void Shield vibrated violently, and the light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The alarms of the coalition fleet suddenly became sharp. The originally neat formation was thrown into chaos due to the withdrawal of heavy firepower fleet from the fleet. Many ships hurriedly turned their guns, but it was difficult to aim because the distance was too close.
A golden Behemoth seized the crack in the shield, and its strong arms reached directly in, crushing the bridge of a cruiser into scrap metal.
The other end opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching energy beam, which accurately hit the engine compartment of a frigate, causing a series of explosions.
In the starry sky, the Dragon Knight was holding back the heavy firepower fleet in the southeast corner, while the Golden Behemoth was rampaging through the main formation.
The coalition forces were attacked from all sides, and their original offensive plan was completely disrupted. The command channel was filled with panicked shouts and orders.
Martin stood on the bridge, watching the collapse of the coalition formation on the tactical screen, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Now," he said to his adjutant. "Order all ships to break out through the southwest passage, pick up the Golden Behemoth and the Dragon Knights, and lead the battle to the rear of the coalition forces."
In the shadow of the reef belt, the long-dormant fleet finally moved.
The dark blue flames of the engines merged into one, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, rushing towards the weak point in the coalition's defense line.
