Soon, the battle between Ashton and the Xyrans entered its climax. Orion and mercenary ships continuously shot missiles and laser cannons at the Xyran fleet.
There were casualties on each side, but since the Xyran had attacked the tower master, the mercenaries had no choice but to fight back.
As for the Orion Empire, they couldn't afford to miss the chance to get on Ashton's good side as well as deal a massive blow to the Xyrans, who were the only civilisation stronger than them.
While their reasons for engaging in the battle varied amongst them, the end result they wanted was the same. To annihilate the Xyrans and end their dominance in the galaxy.
As the battle continued, it brought countless deaths, both on the surface and over it. Massive clouds of smoke and dust erupted throughout New Lycania as ships constantly crashed and fired on the city dwellers.
