Three hours later.
Two hours had passed since the Rank 7 Purgatory creatures left the battlefield.
When the last Clan Dirty-level creature that did not have time to pass through the space channel was killed, the entire void quieted down.
A large number of fleets began to clean up the battlefield. After all, the bodies of these Purgatory creatures were treasures that could not be wasted.
Moreover, according to the grapevine, the Federation's research on the next generation of genetic evolution medicine had reached a bottleneck. The Academy of Science was hoping to find a breakthrough from these Purgatory creatures!
Two Netherworld Fleet legions, plus the three galaxy clusters that came an hour ago as reinforcements, except for some warships that were on alert, all the other fleets joined in collecting the corpses.
-----
"Marshal, the results of the battle in the Xassar Sector are out!"
"In this battle, we killed a total of one Rank 7 leader-level creature and 957 million Dirty-level creatures."
"Our losses are as follows!"
"The two legions of the Netherworld Fleet did not lose any warships, but many combat personnel are mentally exhausted from operating the battleship EDAC for a long time. They will need to rest for at least three days to recover to their peak combat strength."
"As for the three regular galaxy clusters that came as reinforcements, 17 Sea King Dragon-level battleships were destroyed, and another 127 were heavily damaged!"
In the command center of the new Gonggong, Liang Xue looked at her command terminal and reported.
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
He had already expected the outcome of the Netherworld Fleet. Dark Energy Manipulation required a lot of mental power to control attacks and defenses for a long time. After a few hours of battle, it was not surprising that mental power was exhausted.
However, he really did not expect the loss of the regular fleet.
The current three major fleet systems of the Federation were the regular fleet, the Netherworld Mirror, and the Fearless Fleet!
Among them, the regular fleet could be said to be the weakest, but it was still equipped with the Seventh Generation Spatial Shield. It had almost developed the Spatial Shield technology to the extreme.
Coupled with the absolute advantage of the battlefield situation … they still lost so much!
It was important to know that the Federation had not suffered any losses in an interstellar war for many years.
"Have you investigated the cause of the regular fleet's losses?"
"The expert team is already analyzing it. The preliminary result is that the attacks of the Inferno creatures seem to have a strong restraining effect on the Spatial Shield. The specific results are expected to wait for a few days."
"Alright, submit the detailed report to me as soon as it's out. In the meantime, the Netherworld Fleet and the Fearless Fleet will be in charge of the conquest, and the regular fleets will be responsible for the firepower support on the battlefield!"
"Understood!"
"Looks like … the plan to fully equip the regular fleets with Phase Shields has to be brought forward!"
Rubbing his chin, Lin Fan could not help but mutter to himself.
Perhaps Lin Fan did not feel it when he was dealing with the Zergs because he had an absolute advantage in terms of range. However, now that he had caught up with the Purgatory Creatures, he deeply felt it …
The Spatial Shield could no longer keep up with the demands of the current war!
However, the good news was that the Phase Shield technology at the Academy of Science had already been cracked and had entered the final testing phase.
In at most a year, it could be completely finalized and mass-produced.
-----
At the same time, at the periphery of the Boötes Constellation.
More than thirty Class 7 Leaders were surrounding Ipnos. In the distance, a large number of Infernal Creatures were still coming out of the ten Spatial Portals.
"What's the situation now?"
Ipnos, who slowly opened his eyes, asked in an extremely weak voice.
As soon as he woke up, he immediately realized that this was not the Xassar Sector. The surroundings were empty, and there was not even the light of a star.
"Commander, we've retreated into the Boötes Constellation."
"Retreated … Did we really lose?"
Ipnos was not surprised. Even a Class 8 Leader like him was so heavily injured, how could he expect these Class 7 Leaders to turn the tables?
Impossible!
"Where's Olar? Why don't I see him? "
Ipnos looked around at the Leaders around him and found that one of them was missing, and it was the indispensable Olar of the entire army. Ipnos' heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"Olar … Olar is over there!"
Hearing Tara's answer, Ipnos heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he's fine, as long as he's fine!
He looked in the direction Tara pointed, but …
There was only a huge corpse that had lost all signs of life.
"Olar!!!"
Ipnos' eyes were bloodshot from anger.
However, at this time, Ipnos did not realize that a huge crisis was approaching him.
"Do it!"
A voice was transmitted through the spiritual network into the minds of the Voidreavers, who were parasitizing the bodies of two Class 7 Leaders and had obtained complete control.
The two giant leader-class creatures slowly approached Ipnos without attracting the attention of others.
Without Olga, no one here noticed anything strange. No one noticed anything at all.
But when they made their move, Ipnos felt that a murderous intent had locked onto him, and the torturous murderous intent came from behind him.
Originally, it was just two Class 7 Leaders. Even if it was a sneak attack, it would not be difficult for Ipnos, who was already a Class 8 Leader. He could easily deal with them.
But the problem was that Ipnos was now seriously injured, and it was difficult for him to even move, let alone defend or counterattack!
Even if he felt the danger at the last moment, he still could not react. With a violent impact, his huge body was directly sent flying.
This was … a fatal blow from Aliya!
This scene had stunned everyone …
"Not good, the two of them are parasitized, quickly suppress them!"
After being stunned for a second, Tara immediately reacted. Without Olga, none of them could sense those damned parasitic Arachnids.
After a year, the fear of being dominated by the Voidreavers once again filled the minds of every Leader.
Soon, the two parasitized Leaders were suppressed. After all, there were almost 30 Leaders attacking at the same time.
After being suppressed, what followed was a series of punches and kicks!
Yes, punches and kicks.
However, they did not even use 10% of their strength.
After all, their goal was not to kill the two Leaders, but to kill the parasites in their bodies!
As mentioned before, the weakness of the Voidreavers was that they were too weak. Even if they successfully invaded the body of a Leader, the Leader only needed to slap the location to kill the Voidreavers in the body.
The only difference was that when Olar was here, she could accurately pinpoint the location of the Voidreavers and kill them with a slap.
But now that Olar was not here, these Class 7 Leaders could only continue to punch and kick the two Leaders' bodies.
"Stop hitting, I've already regained control!"
"I've also regained control of the body. Stop!"
After a short while, the two captains that were previously controlled began to shout loudly.
The other leader-class creatures stopped what they were doing when they heard this.
