Chapter 1075 Choice

Perhaps it was because the situation on the battlefield earlier was too tense and tragic, suppressing everyone's emotions to the limit. Now, upon hearing that Berserkwind Island was safe and sound, Qin Yiming wanted to ease the atmosphere in the command room, so he deliberately made such a trivial joke.

The entire Kunlun Giant Ship was under Li Tianran's control; he could see everyone's every word and action inside the ship.

Li Tianran glanced at Qin Yiming in the corner and said calmly, "Save the gloating for after the war is over. We haven't won yet... Return to your battle stations immediately! If we let the Babel Tower escape from under our noses, I'll let you know what 'being polite' really means!"

Yes, after witnessing the Tri-Tower leave the battlefield, Li Tianran was certain that the Gale and Night Apostles had no more tricks up their sleeves.

The powerful destructive force of the Valley of Death activated the Tri-Tower's self-protection function, providing shelter for the allied Babel Tower and Giant City, but after Han Han woke up, control of the Tri-Tower was taken over by the newly born consciousness within her.

This new consciousness did not choose to continue sheltering the Gale and Night Apostles; it did not order the Tri-Tower to remain in the Great Desert and fight Li Tianran.

In other words, the Earth Apostle, who had previously been regarded as their trump card by the Gale and Night Apostles...

Abandoned them!

And with technological weapons not yet recovered and having endured another bombardment from the Valley of Death, the Babel Tower and Giant City had no way to escape from this battlefield unscathed.

"I suspect that the condition for stimulating the Tri-Tower's revival and entering self-defense mode is not being attacked... but being attacked by a destructive electromagnetic attack like the Valley of Death!"

"Otherwise, after learning that I was going to attack the Tri-Tower, the Apostles wouldn't have needed to come here; they could have simply waited for me to use the Sky Citadel to ram it, or for the Kunlun Giant Ship to bombard it with its orbital cannons, and they could have awakened the Tri-Tower."

"The Apostles' plan was originally feasible... They knew that the Tri-Tower would enter self-revival mode after encountering a terrifying electromagnetic attack, so they showed up in this desert and fought me, forcing me to use the Valley of Death."

"Until ten minutes ago, things were still going according to their plan."

"The Valley of Death fired, the Tri-Tower revived, the Earth Apostle broke free..."

"If things had gone according to their original plan, the next step might have been for the Bronze Palace to rush to Berserkwind Island, the Earth Apostle to go berserk and massacre, my rear would have been unstable, the T-119 defense line would have collapsed... and the entire Human Alliance would have been utterly defeated!"

Li Tianran closed his eyes and, in a few seconds, completely reconstructed all of the ancient civilization's plans for this battlefield. It wasn't difficult, because the situation was now very clear; with a little thought, he could figure out every link in the chain.

"And Li Zhi's rout greatly increased the likelihood of the ancient civilization's plan succeeding..."

"The only thing... they didn't anticipate was that I would erase the Earth Apostle and Han Han's existence together, and that this newly born consciousness, now in a peculiar neutral state, would become a key factor in reversing the entire battle."

All of the victory points that the ancient civilization had established in this battle with Li Tianran were almost entirely based on the "normal revival of the Earth Apostle." Now that there was a problem with the Earth Apostle, their hopes of victory naturally vanished.

Li Tianran looked down at the earth. Without the shelter of the Tri-Tower, the two miracle buildings looked very weak in the endless desert. Even though a large number of sea beast swarms were still rushing to provide a defense against the Kunlun Giant Ship's attacks for these two miracle buildings, it was ultimately futile.

Ten minutes was enough time for the Kunlun Giant Ship to recover seventy or eighty percent of the energy it had lost from firing the Valley of Death. Under the bombardment of the laser orbital cannons, those massive, dense swarms of beast kings were easily torn apart like paper.

"Look, they're starting to move in different directions!"

At this moment, on the satellite monitoring screen, the Babel Tower and Giant City first made close contact, then quickly separated and headed in two different directions.

The Giant City was heading towards the sea not far away, while the Babel Tower was heading towards the deeper desert.

Li Tianran frowned. He opened the satellite monitoring's playback function and slowed it down.

Sure enough, he discovered that in the brief few breaths during which the Babel Tower and Giant City were in contact, all the Gale Tribe members, including the Gale Apostle, had withdrawn from the dilapidated Babel Tower and entered the Giant City, which had suffered less damage in comparison.

Obviously, faced with this situation, they had made a timely decision.

They chose to abandon the Babel Tower to attract Li Tianran's firepower and ensure the safe departure of the Gale and Night Apostles and the Giant City from this battlefield!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Tianran had to recognize the fact that he couldn't destroy both miracle buildings today. He could only follow the Apostles' lead and take out the Babel Tower, which was serving as a distraction, and let the Giant City leave.

First of all, the Giant City's defense was far greater than the Babel Tower's, and its direction of advance was towards the sea. If Li Tianran wanted to be greedy enough to take down the Giant City and the Night and Gale Apostles together, he had to ensure that his firepower was sufficient to completely destroy it before it entered the sea.

Otherwise, there was a high probability of such a result occurring: chasing the Giant City to no avail, and letting the Babel Tower escape in the other direction...

Based on the Giant City's current speed and its distance from the sea, it could be roughly calculated that it would only take fifteen minutes for it to enter the sea.

Li Tianran's firepower couldn't destroy it in fifteen minutes!

So he could only chase the Babel Tower.

"This battle has had too many unexpected events. Being able to destroy one miracle building is already considered achieving the strategic goal; we can't be too greedy." Li Tianran sighed. He desperately wanted to leave the Gale and Night Apostles on this battlefield and send them to hell with the Sky Apostle, but unfortunately, the firepower of a single Kunlun Giant Ship was still somewhat insufficient.

If the Sky Citadel was here today...

Li Tianran thought about it. Even if the Sky Citadel was here today, it would probably be difficult to stop the Giant City from escaping. Before the Sky Citadel's technological weapons were unlocked, speed was indeed its advantage, but relying on the attack power generated by the impact of the hull was not its forte.

"Forget it, an Apostle who has lost a miracle building is not to be feared! Not all creatures are like the second Earth Apostle!" Li Tianran's eyes were fierce. He stopped paying attention to the Giant City and instead focused his gaze on the Babel Tower in the distance. After a moment of silence, he said, "Pursue!

"Release all firepower and destroy it as quickly as possible!"
