Dozens of fist-sized black metal spheres slowly unfolded outside the atmosphere of Tiānxiāng Star, and high-precision wide-angle lenses slowly protruded.

  The destinations of the three small fleets, including the Asian Dao Alliance, were all exposed in front of Gu Xie. The three small fleets respectively found a small island to establish their bases 3,000 kilometers east, 3,700 kilometers west, and 4,000 kilometers south. Each fleet brought more than 10,000 ground combat personnel, who operated large-scale engineering machinery and quickly built the prototype of the base in a short period of time.

  These pre-positioned monitors in space also noticed that the three small fleets each deployed nearly a hundred surveillance satellites before entering the atmosphere, and these satellites have now begun to operate.

  "Haha, speaking of which, the Earth Federation Army is about to arrive." Gu Xiechen burst out laughing and shook his teacup, saying: "Don't disappoint me!"

  The Romans' reaction did not disappoint Guxiaodun, as they saw the arrival of the Asian Tao Alliance and other three forces. They knew that the main force of the Earth Federation Army was right behind them. After ending their conversation with the three forces, it took only thirty minutes for the fleets of the nine Roman imperial families to disperse in all directions.

  The First Fleet of the Elector, led by Borukin and Yakkin, landed directly on the ground. Ten first-class warships landed around the forward base, and a large number of Roman warriors and spirit servants emerged from the warships, operating fully automatic engineering mechs to repair the base. Dozens of other first-class warships released a large number of fighter jets and small warships, and a large number of Roman warriors began to land. The Devouring Star Cloud Trireme emitted a massive electromagnetic interference, and a powerful electromagnetic pulse swept across an area of hundreds of kilometers in an instant.

  This is a common tactic used by the Romans against the Earth Federation military, with overwhelming electromagnetic pulses capable of destroying all electronic products within their coverage.

  Tens of kilometers away, the battlefield observation instrument on Xin Jia's shoulder suddenly exploded with a loud "bang", spewing out countless sparks.

  The light screen in front of Gu Xie's dusty face went dark, and he could no longer see the situation at the forward base. He immediately sent a signal to Xin Jia with his heart.

  "Are we making our move now?"

  Gu Xie said calmly, "If you're not afraid of the Roman king ordering a manhunt, it's best to pray that this time he doesn't get his two sons killed. Destroying several first-class warships is already a great achievement!" He coldly smiled at Sai Chen and said, "We are just mercenaries, fighting with these Romans to the death is the military department's job!"

  He raised his head, propped up his legs and sipped a mouthful of fragrant tea. Gu Xie said lightly: "My Gu family is a merchant family, we only do business that is within our power and can bear the risk!"

  Xin Jia threw away the abandoned battlefield observation instrument, grabbed a handful of mud and scattered it towards the sky. A burst of yellow gas erupted from underground, and Xin Jia's massive body sank into the ground. In an instant, Xin Jia arrived at a huge underground cave beneath the forward base. The cave was filled to the brim with piles of medicinal herbs, leaving only barely enough space for Xin Jia to squeeze in. Above the cave was covered with a thin layer of metal plates, on which numerous square and round talismans were faintly shining.

  It was these metal plates that allowed the massive Zha medicine to evade the Roman warship's scan, all of which were made by Xin Jia himself, who consumed a large amount of rare metal ore and mobilized the Golden Crow Pillar to refine them.

  On the medicine pile, there was a huge mechanical turntable. Xīn Jiǎ fiercely twisted the turntable and then hastily grabbed a handful of mud and splashed it towards the sky before escaping without a trace.

  The dial began to rotate with a "tick-tock, tick-tock" sound. Less than thirty seconds later, a strong metal spring inside the dial suddenly sprang up and violently struck a chemical detonator.

  Two glass bottles inside the detonator shattered, thick high-density energy liquid and high-intensity oxidizer mixed together, immediately triggering a large amount of light and heat. A small piece of high-explosive zha medicine soaked in the detonator suddenly exploded. The detonator blasted open, the mixed liquid was splashed everywhere, and three million tons of high-explosive zha medicine buried under the forward base instantly exploded.

  The Devouring Dark Nebula Trident had just landed on the ground, its 10-meter-thick energy shield outside the hull was slowly weakening. The fifty family warships that descended with it had already retracted their energy shields, which were more than twice as thin as those of the Devouring Dark Nebula Trident, and they retracted their energy shields much faster.

  At this moment, a black-red flame burst out of the ground less than ten meters away, swallowing the Star Cloud Trident and dozens of warships that had landed with it. The specially made alloy armor plates, which were as thick as ten meters, on the ten first-class warships that had landed early, were reduced to their most basic particles in a fraction of a second. The ten massive warships left behind a striking black shadow in the flames and disappeared.

  Flames shot up into the sky, black and red smoke columns and fire pillars mixed together, slowly rising into the air. The ground within a radius of several kilometers was scorched and cracked in circles. Then large areas of the ground burst open, countless flames carrying visible white shockwaves shot up into the sky, the ground disintegrated, and a massive crater emitting red light appeared on the surface.

  The Trident was blown up to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, the external energy shield on the hull lasted less than three seconds before completely collapsing, the long golden pipeline at the stern broke into dozens of sections in the ear-piercing "screech" sound, the main control computer of the warship quickly closed the cabin doors leading to the golden pipeline, the backup energy shield system was instantly activated, and another thick layer of energy shield ten meters thick firmly protected the Trident inside.

  But the other warships were not so lucky, when the explosion occurred, their main control computer immediately activated the energy shield, but in a hurry, their energy shield only barely reached ten percent of its maximum power. In the first instant of the explosion, their thin energy shield was completely torn apart, the hull twisted like a doughnut, the thick armor plate was torn open, and high-temperature and high-heat plasma poured into the opening, causing the plasma engine and loaded ammunition to explode violently, and the warship disintegrated instantly. A series of violent explosions occurred one after another, each warship exploding and spraying out a huge amount of light and heat in all directions, making the slowly rising smoke column even more enormous.

  A massive mushroom cloud rose, with the forward base as its core. The original forest within a radius of thirty kilometers was flattened, countless giant trees were crushed, and countless giant trees were burning fiercely. The shockwave transformed into a violent storm that swept through hundreds of miles around, and numerous giant trees were uprooted by the storm and thrown far away.

  300,000 tons of specially made high-explosive zha medicine, with an explosive force 3.5 times that of standard zha medicine, equivalent to the actual explosive yield of a 1 million-ton nuclear warhead!

  The golden tail pipe broke, leaving only the main body of the devouring nebula Trident. The Trident emerged from the mushroom cloud with a rolling thick smoke. The wailing voices of Borukin and Yakov seemed to penetrate the thick hull and energy shield, spreading throughout the entire Tianyuan Star. Almost the entire Roman First Fleet was annihilated, with sixty advanced warships reduced to ashes without even exchanging fire with the Earth Federation Army.

  The hull structure of the Tricentennial-class battleship, Trident, was also severely damaged as the Romulan King's flagship, and its body had been twisted into a three-pronged plug shape.

  Everyone who observed all this from far away via satellite gasped in shock.

  "Hua muttered to herself: 'What a ruthless move, who is that evil dragon?'"

  "Archbishop Andrei's handsome face contorted in a scowl: 'God have mercy, this is the work of the devil!'"

  Bobby burst out laughing: "No matter who did it, I like this guy, he has great potential to join our team."

  In an instant, everyone came to their senses, and the crowd exclaimed: "How did he do it? Are the Romanians' scanning instruments all useless? With such a huge explosive force, at least tens of thousands of tons of explosives were buried, and such a strong energy reaction was not detected by the Romans?"

  Everyone has become incredibly excited - Gu Xie Chen must have discovered something on this planet to be able to do such an unbelievable thing! Did he lay down zha medicine in advance to secretly calculate the Roman fleet? Someone had done it before, but never succeeded. The Roman's technological level is a notch higher than that of the Earth Federation, and their scanners can detect zha medicine buried hundreds of meters underground. This time Gu Xie Chen successfully calculated the Romans, he must have found some precious treasure!

  The three forces were busy opening the communicator, using the high-privilege communication code set by the Earth Federation to contact Gu Xiechen. However, Gu Xiechen had long since pulled out all the power cords of the communicators, how could they get in touch with him?

  Here hasn't been busy yet, and the fleets of the two elector families who just flew to the designated garrison point also had an accident.

  These two locations were exactly the kind of scenic and mineral-rich places that Kuaizhe Dust had chosen. The fleets of the two imperial families followed the standard procedure in the Roman landing manual, first lowering ten warships to land, deploying a large number of ground troops to guard, then sweeping the surroundings with electromagnetic pulses, and finally the family flagship slowly descended under the escort of the fleet.

  A similar massive explosion occurred, and two family fleets were reduced to nothing in the flames. Only the flagship equipped with a backup energy shield system barely escaped from the explosion.

  Three flagship cruisers, engulfed in flames and spewing black smoke, hung suspended in mid-air. The direct descendants of the three imperial families wailed and cursed Guxiao Chen's ruthless tactics on public channels. The fleets of the other six imperial families were momentarily stunned into immobility, and no one dared to make a reckless landing again.

  Three hundred and forty Romanesque first-class warships were destroyed in three large explosions, with one hundred and thirty ships being sunk. The fleet's strength was reduced by 40% immediately.

  Three huge pits on the ground flashing red light seemed to be the eyes of the devil staring at the Roman fleet, a strong killing intent emerged.

  Poruchik's voice rose to a hoarse bellow: "Those three scoundrels who were sent ahead as scouts, I'll kill them!"

  Koetsuji put down the teacup and smiled: "I think those three unlucky guys who were hypnotized and sent back will be in trouble. Hmm, the Romans have a strong spirit, their hypnosis can be lifted quickly, I really want to know what kind of torture they will receive."

  Ling Hu smiled and stroked his beard, nodding at Gu Xiechen: "It's just a pity that they only blew up three of their fleets."

  Gu Xie shook his head and said calmly, "Don't be greedy. Three family fleets are already the greatest achievement of the Earth Federation against the Romans in the past twenty years. Hmm, I never expected that each of our ambush points would coincidentally have a fleet stationed there, after all, it's a probabilistic event."

  He took out a bamboo slip and played with it in his hand for a while, before Gu Xie coldly smiled and said: "Connect the communication devices of those three parties. When doing business, one can't rely on probabilistic events; a straightforward transaction where one hands over money and the other hands over goods is much more satisfying."

  The communicator was reconnected to the power source, and the forced communication code of Tong Hua and others immediately connected to the communicator.

  This time, Gu Xiechen appeared in front of the light screen. He didn't give Huahua and others a chance to speak, and directly took out the bamboo slips in his hand: "An ancient scroll, recording more than a dozen strange alloy quenching methods. The actual combat effect is also seen by you, it can perfectly shield the Roman's scanner. Now let's start the auction, the highest bidder gets it!"

  Hua and others simultaneously drew in a cold breath, their eyes almost spewing fire.

  Gu Xie thought for a moment, then continued: "Also, the mountain valley coordinates where this scroll was found will be given as a gift along with the scroll. There are still many good things in the mountain valley that you can definitely use."

  A sudden commotion broke out inside the communication device.

  "Hua shouted loudly: 'What do you want? Money? Beautiful women? Or something else?'"

  "Does the office of Cardinal hold any attraction for you, Mr. Kao?" Archbishop Andre thundered.

  Bobby stretched out his ten fingers and shouted: "You set the price yourself, as long as our Lord can do it, we will definitely agree to it!"

  Gu Xie dust smiled. Sai Jin's fingers moved slightly, and he reached out to gently touch his chest.

  Aridiya grasped Saren's hand and gently shook her head.

  The Roman warship, which had been motionless in the air for a long time, suddenly moved.

  Gu Xie dust looked at the light screen displaying the Roman warship's movements and suddenly laughed. He waved his hand with a bamboo slip and said, "Twelve hours later, I will designate a location for an auction! Open bidding, fair trade, no deception of old or young, what do you think?"

  Hua, Andre, and Bobby looked at each other and said in unison: "Great idea!"

  Gu Xie's smile suddenly turned colder than ice, and he sneered: "However, the three witches of the Asian Taoist Alliance are not allowed to participate. I also ask the Asian Taoist Alliance to swear that none of the information on this bamboo slip will be leaked to the Three Witches Sect, otherwise I will cancel the Asian Taoist Alliance's auction qualification!"

  Hua's face stiffened, while Andre and Bobby burst into applause and laughter.

  The handsome young Taoist beside Huahua let out a soft sigh, and he looked at Andrei and Bobbi with a helpless gaze, nodding slowly: "So be it. If the Asian Tao Alliance obtains the bamboo slips, they won't reveal a single word or sentence to the Sanwu Sect."

  Members of the Asian Dao Meng took oaths on the light screen, except for a gloomy-faced young man with a dark complexion who was furious and had a black face.

  The old man looked at the young man with a dusty and uncaring expression, and openly raised his middle finger to the young man in front of so many people.
