Chapter 451: Chapter 119: The Best Strategy is to Retreat_3

The “Cloud Rainbow” followed its orders to economize on “ammunition” and only attacked when the insect race puppets crossed the red line, completely ignoring the other immobile puppets.

This created an eerily stale standoff.

If the enemy didn’t move, they didn’t either. But the moment the enemy moved, they’d attack.

This was the “Cloud Rainbow”‘s current battle strategy.

After a strenuous journey, the shuttle controlled by Link finally made it past the distorted battlefield, ready for a close encounter with the Nest before a large group of the Scorpion Insect Tribe could reinforce it.

However, before making contact, the shuttle needed to circle around the Nest.

A Nest that endured three rounds of the star-annihilating cannon without damage clearly couldn’t be harmed by a mere shuttle’s self-destruction.

Had they gone through all this effort, braving various obstacles to get close to the Nest, just to set off some fireworks?

Link wasn’t that poetic, not that literary.

Right from the start, his goal was to get close and investigate the condition of the Nest.

The shuttle was like a diligent honeybee, circling around the Nest, this flower, searching for a tasty place to land.

In doing so, they came across an interesting find.

The Nest only had a front half, the back half was mysteriously missing.

Through the real-time images transmitted by the shuttle, they could clearly see that there was no large-scale damage on the surface of the Nest.

This meant that the Nest had separated itself, not that it had been half destroyed.

No wonder Link felt something was off about the Nest.

It was only half there, it wasn’t fully functional and incapable of responding.

Not that the Nest didn’t want to respond to the relentless attack of the “Cloud Rainbow”.

So, where did the other half of the Nest go?

Sandra rapidly turned her head and looked through the window at the mission world with a profound gaze.

Finally, she understood why a Level 3 World could fire the Light of Annihilation.

She also figured out why her location was exposed as soon as she landed, why four team members were quietly cursed, and why seven team members were silently parasitized.

The other half of the Nest was in the mission world!

All of this was caused by the other half of the Nest and the Royal Clan member of the Insect Race that controlled it.

“Main cannon, full power, rapid fire five rounds, target: the most likely location of the other half of the Nest in the mission world,” ordered Sandra decisively.

Tower Spirit, controlling the “Cloud Rainbow”, executed the order. First, they fully scouted the mission world, calculated positions, then the fully charged main cannon fired five star-annihilating cannon rounds at the calculated coordinates.

If the half of the Nest in space could handle three star-annihilating cannons, there’s no reason the other half in the mission world wouldn’t be able to.

After five rounds of the star-annihilating cannon, there was a giant hole as big as West Lake in the mission world.

The second half of the Level 5 Nest showed itself, completely unscathed.

Not far from it, there was a Level 3 Nest that had one corner smashed by the star-annihilating cannon.

Through the surveillance, it was clear that there were only a few insects in the Level 3 Nest, but each was a significantly bigger, stronger evolved individual compared to the standard Arthropod Insect Race.

Beneath the Level 3 Nest, however, were nearly extinct regular Arthropod Insect Race members.

The “Cloud Rainbow” locked on to its target: one hit to send them packing, two for a trip to heaven, three to scatter their ashes, four as a farewell, and five to celebrate.

“Great!”

Sandra couldn’t help but shout upon seeing such fruitful results.

Joining forces with Link to fire this round had truly relieved the pent-up anger in their hearts.

She instantly felt refreshed.

No longer suspended in uncertainty, enduring discomfort.

“They’re trying to run,” observed Crew Cut Brother, noticing that the Insect Race puppets surrounding the “Cloud Rainbow” seemed to have received orders to frantically charge at the interstellar battleship, attempting suicide attacks to draw their fire.

In the mission world, half of the Level 5 Nest and the Level 3 Nest were initiating the interstellar flight mode, trying to take off.

“Shoot them down,” Sandra ordered ruthlessly, planning to take advantage of the Light of Annihilation’s cooldown period on the Level 5 Nest to further increase their battle results.

As Link initiated the shuttle’s self-destruction program, he threw out a bucket of cold water:

“We should be the ones on the run now!”

Through the shuttle’s perspective, he could see that there was a vague shape looming behind the Level 5 Nest, like a massive beast patiently lurking.

Waiting for the right opportunity to devour its prey!
