Chapter 1420: Star Cores
The thunderous roar of the Rank Five Molten Steel T-Rex shook the skies above Nocchi.
With the colossal metal beast looming nearly a kilometer long, the billowing black smoke in the distance, and endless explosions lighting up the horizon, Nocchi had become a scene from the apocalypse.
The Gallant Federation’s support fleets had at least achieved part of their mission. Nearly a third of Nocchi’s stockpiled resources had already gone up in flames.
The federation would rather destroy the supplies themselves than let Magus World lay hands on them.
Fortunately, the Magus World Army had Welks with them. Without the peak Rank Five mechanic, the Gallant Federation would have destroyed far more than just one-third of Nocchi’s reserves. They might even have forced the entire planet into self-destruction.
Welks had prevented the federation from attempting that, and soon after, more Magus World’s legions arrived, pressing the support fleet until it finally withdrew.
With Nocchi lost, the Gallant Federation was left with no choice but to abandon the Transversa Star Domain altogether.
How could their frontline legions hope to hold out after losing their supply transit hubs in the rear to the enemy?
Several intact federal legions had already begun to withdraw in an orderly fashion from the star domain. But the Magus World Army had no intention of letting them escape so easily!
A few federal legions might manage to slip past the army or shake off pursuit, but due to dwindling supplies and the lack of reinforcements, most would inevitably be crushed by the Magus Civilization’s legions!
This was the nature of war—victors showed no mercy to the defeated.
Just as Magus World’s knights and mages had fought to their last breaths when trapped inside the federation’s strongholds, now it was the Gallant Federation’s turn to bleed out to the very end.
