The best way to crack this strong lineup was either to move at the same speed or to use a suicide attack.
The other Aslan warriors didn’t hesitate one bit when Lin Feng’s mech rushed in. They followed closely behind him to break the enemy’s rhythm. One, two, ten, a hundred… a thousand…
Huiyin’s voice was the last trump card of the Aslan Empire. Aina and Lin Huiyin both possessed group-type Ability Xs that could inspire the soul.
If Aina could fill the warriors with courage, then Lin Huiyin’s Song of Aslan could make the Aslan warriors completely give themselves up and to give up their lives.
Huiyin was tear-streaked. This was the situation she feared the most. She understood what helplessness was. Today, she had matured. This was a coming of age gift filled with blood and fire.
Being unafraid of death and seeking death were two totally different concepts.
It was further intensified by Lin Feng being the first to rush in. Lin Feng, the third in line to the throne of the Aslan Empire, a prince and one of the powerful rulers of the future Aslan Empire…
The Aslan Empire would not be able to win this war. There would be no retreat before the entire Aslan Empire’s army was destroyed!
Ren Yixuan’s fleet was cut off because of the heavy price paid by Aslan. Ren Yixuan’s game was no longer able to proceed.
Ren Yixuan smiled. He looked down on the women of Aslan. The heart of a woman was indeed the most vicious. A suicide attack was the only loophole of his strategy. Making countless warriors charge into their deaths, this was something even he had to hand to them. The first battle could not continue. If they could only win by destroying the whole army of Aslan, then Arbiter would also be finished.
That was why Ren Yixuan ordered them to retreat. Such an attack could only work once, while Ren Yixuan’s strategy could be deployed numerous times.
That was war, a long, arduous game.
The Arbiter Republic’s fleet retreated in an orderly manner. They had to pay a price as well, but it was less than that of the Aslan Empire.
This battle had caused huge losses to both parties. The Mayans were the first to run when the retreat order came. They really didn’t care much for death matches.
The Milky Way Alliance was surprised by Aina Aslan in this battle. They said that war was no place for women. She might be a good mascot, but war was different. Aslan was almost left in despair against the superior strength and invincible tactics of their opponents. A country would naturally collapse after the casualty rose to a certain level. However, Aina did something that violated the rules of war, and that was to repel Arbiter’s forces with high costs to their side.
Prestige was established through war. In any case, the Aslan Empire had won the first battle.
Aina didn’t agree to a world conquered by Ren Yixuan!
However, the second wave of attack would be a problem for Aina.
This battle was too crucial. Aslan would be at the edge of a cliff if they were to lose. Their morale would also plummet. However, this victory was timely. It had proven that Ren Yixuan’s strategy wasn’t unbreakable — even though this tactic was just quenching thirst temporarily.
Victory could be said to be something worth celebrating as a nation. The enemy had retreated temporarily and Aslan obtained a respite. However, Aina and Lin Huiyin could not feel any happiness. They had lost countless elite soldiers in the very first battle. Lin Feng was dead. This highly anticipated genius warrior had defended his dignity with his life. He was a future Heaven-rank warrior, but he had died in Ren Yixuan’s game. Moreover, his death had only provided temporary relief from the enemy.
The war hadn’t started because of Aina and Huiyin, but they had to shoulder the responsibility. They couldn’t lament their fates, since it was brought about by their relatives. Kashawen might only have implemented Constantine’s plan faithfully, but this plan didn’t bring hegemony to Aslan, only war.
It wasn’t in Aina’s nature to complain. She knew this would happen when she left Wang Zheng. She knew Wang Zheng would help her if she begged him to. She understood her own man. However, Aina wasn’t someone selfish. She wasn’t going to let Wang Zheng leave his loved ones to stay with her to shoulder this burden that was hers. That was why she had chosen to leave.
Was it right or wrong? She didn’t know. She only wanted to shoulder the results of Aslan’s plots. She didn’t want to get Huiyin involved at first. Kashawen was dead. Grandpa was outside, unable to return. Their father drank everyday due to the shock. She hoped that Huiyin didn’t need to experience any of this, but she had gone up instead of escaping. These Aslan sisters had unimaginable power.
Aina’s power had been amplified in Atlantis, as though the Atlanteans had long known that this would happen. Huiyin… It was impossible to imagine that her power actually originated from her concerts. Her power traveled through her music. Her concerts were the most popular in the Milky Way Alliance because she had unleashed the power unknowingly. Her power had strengthened without her knowing, only the little princess had been deliberately suppressing her powers. She didn’t want to interfere with others and hoped her audience liked her music. However, the power was unimaginable once it was fully unleashed.
The target was important too. The effect on her enemies would not be as high as if she were to use it on Aslan warriors. The choice was given to Lin Feng, but the consequences were borne by them. Lin Feng had chosen his death.
They had to remain calm and resilient to win this war. Weakness was no longer needed.
This respite won by Aslan was very important. The whole country started to operate efficiently. Everyone, from aristocrats to commoners, contributed their own strengths. A country’s strength was visible only in warring years, especially when faced with the possibility of extinction.
The other countries spared from the war were mostly spectators. The tides changed numerous times. Heroes were created in chaos. Aina Aslan was a heroine of this era, and so was Ren Yixuan. Wang Zheng was one too, even though the battle was on a smaller scale. However, the difficulty of fending off the Sirius Star by himself was formidable. He was also the youngest Heaven-rank warrior in history and would definitely become the top man in the Milky Way Alliance if he were to continue.
