Suddenly a swirling blue hyperspace window appeared.
Immediately, a Federation Zhurong-class battleship suddenly flew out of it.
There are only more than thirty people in this battleship.
After all, this is a mission that requires a position, and these thirty people are just enough to control the warship's normal navigation.
At the same time, he was also a death squad who voluntarily participated in this operation.
In the bridge, everyone is busy at the moment.
"Quickly, check the surroundings to see if there is any special radiation that corrodes the airspace!"
"Captain, it has been tested. It is safe here and there is no special radiation."
"Radar officer, scan the surrounding area to see if there are any enemy shadows."
"Report, no enemy situation was found, but..."
"but what?"
"This... Captain, it's up to you to see for yourself!"
As he spoke, the radar officer opened more than a dozen observation images and projected them all on the bridge.
And when everyone sees the scenes in these images...
hiss...
In some pictures, there are metal blocks that have been flattened or even rolled into irregular shapes. If you identify them carefully, you can even find the characteristics of some battleships on them.
In some pictures, there are planets that look like they were dented by a punch, or the remains of the planet that were broken into pieces.
In short, every scene is extremely tragic.
This...
This is the scene after the gravity bomb wreaked havoc.
For a fourth-level civilization that has not yet come into contact with space technology, the visual impact is simply too great.
"Communications officer, can you establish communication with the Star?"
"No, Captain, I've tried it many times."
"Okay, record everything here, then start the hyperspace engine and return to the fleet!"
"Yes, Captain!"
------
at the same time.
Within hyperspace.
An imperial spaceship is traveling inside.
And this spaceship is exactly that Fire Ship.
At this moment, Kyle was standing in front of the huge porthole of the bridge, staring at the colorful and flashing lights around the battleship, in a daze.
"This is hyperspace?"
While muttering to himself, Kyle was also very emotional.
It was this hyperspace engine that put the Empire into absolute trouble when facing the Federation.
Although the empire now exists, it is too late...
If the empire could have possessed it a year earlier, it would definitely be able to defeat the human fleet now.
well...
Thinking of this, Kyle also sighed heavily.
"Slater, how long will it take for us to reach the Sculptor Galaxy?"
"Commander, according to the instructions of the hyperspace engine, due to energy issues, we can only travel approximately 1,000 light years per day, and the entire voyage takes 308 days."
"One year? I don't know if the empire will still exist in one year..."
Kyle sighed slightly again.
He knew very well that after the fleet in Hamilton was wiped out, although the empire still had 20,000 conventional warships and more than 300,000 guard warships.
But relying on these...
Definitely no match for humans.
The most important thing is that His Majesty Guren was captured by humans, and His Highness Selt is now...
In addition to this, almost all of the imperial ministers were captured by humans...
Under this situation, the empire may collapse!
Even if it does not completely collapse, it is likely to fall into pieces.
After all, without the royal rule and the coordination of ministers, how can we maintain this system?
I'm afraid that the person stationed at the entrance of the first main spiral arm will take the opportunity to seize power, or even think about controlling the entire empire?
but...
Forget it...
Even if that person is ambitious and succeeds in the end, he still cannot escape the fate of being destroyed by mankind.
And this fire ship of mine may really become the fire of the empire!
Corrosion outside the airspace.
Federation First Fleet Array.
Star number.
"Report, the scout ship has returned!"
"How is it going?"
"It has been confirmed that the gravity bomb successfully struck, and there is no one left alive in Hamilton."
"Inside the battleship?"
"Due to being ravaged by gravity bombs, the precise number cannot be determined based on the wreckage alone, but the total number should be within 7,000-8,000."
"Well, I understand. Let's order the fleet to return."
"Yes, Commander!"
------
The imperial capital of the Kerry Empire fell.
The successor, Selt, is also missing.
As for the fleet, except for the 20,000 battleships stationed at the entrance of the main spiral arm, all the remaining battleships and main battleships were destroyed.
Although the Kerry Empire completely blocked the entrance to the first main spiral arm.
But this is the interstellar age after all.
The news still spread to the other three main spiral arms.
The most important thing is the message...
The person who led all of this was actually the human being who had disappeared for ten years?
Now, not only are humans back, but they are returning in a very strong manner.
The first thing he did was to severely damage the Kerry Empire, the strongest among the four major forces.
This caused the other three major forces to fall into a state of panic.
Not to mention the other two level-4 civilizations, they were originally two of the protagonists who participated in the destruction of the Star Sea Federation more than 400 years ago.
As for the Freedom Alliance, they are all second- and third-level civilizations that seem to have little to do with the destruction of mankind.
But the problem is that many of these civilizations sent fleets to follow the four major civilizations and participated in the ten-year war more than four hundred years ago.
Even those who did not participate in the war, in the past four hundred years, which civilization has not humiliated humans or purchased human slaves?
If you really want to talk about it, maybe humans hate them more than the four major civilizations.
because...
These low-level civilizations were once beneficiaries of the federal-led galactic order.
At the same time, many of them are still under the protection of the Federation to prevent them from being destroyed by other civilizations.
It can be said that the Federation is kind to them.
But what they did back then and over the past four hundred years was obviously repaying kindness with enmity.
Therefore, once humans settle their accounts, which civilization can stay out of it?
The three major forces are panicking, they are really panicking!
As a result, in just one day, after a brief contact between the top leaders of the three major forces, an offensive and defensive alliance was officially formed without even negotiating.
This speed is unprecedented in the history of the entire galaxy.
However, just a few days later.
Another piece of news came out.
Federation fleet...
Launched an attack on the Freedom Alliance!
------
Said it before.
Under the mutual checks and balances between the four major forces, the wormhole that finally connected the Orion Arm gained the Freedom Alliance's advantage.
After the Freedom Alliance captured this place, they also sent fleets to station at both ends.
That is, the opening of the wormhole is located in the Galactic Center Channel, and the opening is located in the Orion Arm.
According to the original plan of the Freedom Alliance, after stabilizing the entire force, the civilizations in the alliance would then re-divide and develop the Orion Arm.
For this reason, the Freedom Alliance stationed 300,000 warships at both ends of the wormhole.
But at this moment...
The Federation's First Fleet has launched a sneak attack towards the entrance to the wormhole on the Orion Arm.
This was also the first step of the Federation's original counterattack on the galaxy.
Right now...
Seize the wormhole and build layers of defense here.
This provides strong support for cleaning the Orion arm.
On the battlefield...
On one side are three thousand Zhurong-class battleships.
On the other side are 300,000 Free Alliance battleships.
Compared to the Federation fleet, the Freedom Alliance fleet is simply a card of all nations.
After all, they were originally composed of hundreds of thousands of second- and third-level civilizations.
The battleships have different shapes and are comparable to an interstellar battleship museum...
If we look at it in terms of numbers, this is a hundred times difference in military strength.
But after all, they are only second- and third-level civilization warships. If a Zhurong-class warship fights against it, as long as the distance is controlled...
You can directly crush it completely with its huge range advantage.
What does it mean to not fight back when beaten?
At this time, the Freedom Alliance fleet was being beaten, but it was unable to fight back.
There is no way, the range is not enough, it is not enough!
We can only rely on physical projectiles such as railguns to attack.
