Chapter 333 The Battle to Protect the Ruins and a Difficult Choice
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations of the mysterious aircraft rapidly approaching, Lin Yu instantly snapped out of his shock at the deluge of information and shouted, "Attention everyone! Prepare for battle! We absolutely cannot let them destroy the ruins and seize the secrets of the ancient energy!" The team members acted swiftly, constructing defensive fortifications using the terrain inside the ruins and adjusting their weapons to optimal condition.
While operating the equipment, Ellie reported to Lin Yu, "The energy intensity of these aircraft far exceeds that of before, and they seem to have made tactical adjustments in response to our last counterattack." Lin Yu frowned, his gaze resolute: "No matter what, we must hold our ground. Notify the fleet to be on standby for support, but do not approach lightly unless absolutely necessary, to prevent being wiped out by the enemy."
The mysterious aircraft quickly arrived above the ruins, unleashing a torrent of purple energy beams that rained down on the ruins' external defenses. Violent explosions echoed throughout, sending debris flying and trembling the entire ruins. Lin Yu and his team fought back fiercely from within, using the complex terrain to their advantage.
"This can't go on. We have limited ammunition and can't hold out for long," a team member said anxiously. Lin Yu knew the situation was critical. He looked at the energy sphere floating in the center of the hall and suddenly had a bold idea.
"Ellie, can you use the energy of the sphere to build a temporary defensive shield?" Lin Yu asked. A hint of hesitation flashed in Ellie's eyes, but she quickly nodded firmly: "Theoretically possible, but it's very dangerous. If we're not careful, the entire ruin could be destroyed by the energy backlash."
Without hesitation, Lin Yu said, "There's no time to lose, we have to try." Under Ellie's command, the team members acted swiftly, adjusting the energy lines within the ruins to channel the energy from the sphere. As energy was injected, a faint blue shield slowly rose around the ruins, temporarily blocking the attack from the aircraft.
However, the mysterious aircraft did not seem to intend to give up easily. They changed their attack strategy, concentrating their firepower on a single point on the shield. The powerful energy impact caused the shield to flicker constantly, threatening to shatter at any moment.
"Hold on! Think of another way to strengthen the shield!" Lin Yu shouted. Just then, a team member discovered a tiny flaw in the spacecraft's energy matrix.
"Captain, I've noticed a brief energy gap behind the energy matrix when they concentrate their fire!" a team member shouted excitedly. Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Great, let's use this opening to counterattack!"
He quickly organized a strike team, equipped with portable energy weapons, and took advantage of a lull in the aircraft's attack to rush out from inside the ruins. The strike team circled around to the rear of the aircraft's energy matrix and launched a fierce attack the instant an energy gap appeared.
Under the assault team's attack, the energy matrices of several aircraft were successfully destroyed, and the out-of-control aircraft exploded in mid-air. However, the enemy's numbers were simply too great, and the assault team's attack did not pose a substantial threat to them.
As the battle continued, the ruins' defensive shield gradually depleted its energy, and the mysterious aircraft's attacks intensified. Finally, under a powerful energy surge, the shield shattered, and the aircraft's attacks came crashing down like a tidal wave.
"Retreat back into the ruins and use the passageways for defense!" Lin Yu ordered helplessly. The team fought their way back into the ruins. But the mechanical guards from the aircraft also surged in, engaging the team in close combat.
In the fierce battle, the team members gradually found themselves in dire straits, and casualties continued to mount. Lin Yu looked at his wounded comrades beside him, his heart filled with pain and helplessness. He knew that if this continued, they would all die here.
Just then, Ellie suddenly discovered another way to use the ancient energy—it could release a powerful purifying energy that could not only destroy enemies but also repair the disrupted cosmic order. However, the cost would be the complete depletion of the energy sphere and the potential to trigger a massive energy storm that could endanger the entire planet and fleet.
"Lin Yu, we face a difficult choice. If we use the purification energy, we might be able to repel the enemy, but the consequences would be unimaginable; if we don't use it, we will all die, and the secret of the ancient energy will fall into the enemy's hands." Ellie's voice trembled, her eyes filled with pain and inner turmoil.
