"Woo... Wu..." A shrill siren sounded in the huge base, and the soldiers were running while wearing various equipment on themselves.
They had not heard such an alarm for a long time, and they were shocked by such an alarm. After all, at this time, it was not easy to fight a war.
"What on earth happened..." A soldier pulled the zipper to the right position, letting the space army uniform he was wearing fit him. He looked to his side and asked his comrades who had also arrived.
The comrade shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a drill, so don't be too nervous."
After hearing this statement, the soldier obviously relaxed a little, because he had just joined the army and had not experienced a real war yet.
Three years have been enough time for the Elanshir Empire to adjust the composition of its army. Young supplementary soldiers now account for at least 30% of the empire's army.
They have no combat experience, but they have mastered more technologies than the previous soldiers. These technologies allow them to use more powerful weapons and have greater strength.
"Emergency assembly! Emergency assembly! This time is not a drill! This time is not a drill!" Soon, before everyone could relax, the voice from the radio came quickly.
Everyone became nervous again, and under the urging of the broadcasting voice, they quickly ran to their combat positions.
It has been almost 4 years since the establishment of the Airanhill Empire's space army. This is the first time that it has had a real combat mission. Since the broadcast said that this time it is not an exercise, then there is really a mission this time.
Got it!
Sitting on the rotating seat fixed on the floor, he adjusted the distance from the table. The noncommissioned officer in white straight uniform put on his earphones and confirmed: "The power propulsion device operators are in place!"
As he shouted, a hologram about the engine was displayed in front of him, and puppet robots could already be seen standing at their respective posts.
At the same time, on the computer in front of him, various parameters of the engine have been displayed, and the huge energy space jump engine has also begun to charge slowly.
"Report the combat readiness status of the spacecraft!" Sitting in his command position, a young captain ordered loudly before he could adjust his breathing.
"The spaceship's supply is 100% complete! The spacecraft's hull is 100% complete! The armor is in good condition! All weapon systems are functioning normally!" the first mate stood next to the captain's position and replied loudly with his chin held high.
After he finished speaking, he sat down in his seat, then pulled out the X-shaped seat belts from both sides and buckled them on his chest.
"Apply for departure! Get ready to set sail!" The captain raised his lips with satisfaction, and then immediately gave the order to set sail.
"Exploration level two space destroyer No. 0015 applies to leave the port!" The sergeant sitting in the liaison position immediately held down the earphone and applied to the port.
"Departure is approved! I wish you all the best!" came the gentle voice of the female dispatcher in the port dispatch center.
The channels connected to the hull of this huge Discovery Type 2 space destroyer began to be disconnected one after another, and the entire battleship was also disconnected from the dock above the star ring.
Then, four small spaceships, two on the bow and two on the stern, used their own power to guide the huge warship away from the bustling area.
The Discovery-class space destroyer has been the main battleship of the Airanshir Empire's space force in the past two years, but it has become slightly outdated due to size constraints.
Because the territory of the empire is so large, it would take more than a month for the Discovery-class space destroyer to travel from one side to the other with non-stop space jumps.
Therefore, the empire had to design a large destroyer that was very similar in function and purely to increase the endurance of the battleship.
This kind of destroyer has a hull that is almost twice as large, equipped with engines, power systems, and weapon systems, but it is not much more powerful than the exploration space destroyer.
The standard weapon configuration of the exploration-class space destroyer is one torpedo, two main guns and four secondary guns, while the exploration-class space destroyer is equipped with two torpedoes, four main guns and eight secondary guns.
You must know that the hull of the Exploration Level 2 space destroyer is five times larger than the Type 1 space destroyer, while the speed remains basically the same and the weapons are only doubled.
The remaining extra space is used to improve the living standards of the crew, increase the number of magic crystals carried, and increase endurance.
In front of me, this huge exploration level 2 space destroyer has slowly entered the departure orbit, and the small barge-like spacecraft on both sides have also separated.
The main engine on the battleship began to work. As the flames in the nozzle became more and more intense, the entire spacecraft began to accelerate, and eventually turned into a small star in the night sky.
A few minutes later, the spacecraft merged into a large fleet. The entire fleet consisted of five Exploration Level 2 space destroyers, followed by three even larger transport ships.
These transport ships are actually combat ships, because they are not transporting cargo, but ground combat troops under the Space Force.
Although His Majesty the Emperor did not order the use of force against the newly discovered planet, it was still necessary for the Imperial Fleet to dispatch sufficient force to ensure the smooth progress of the mission.
Even, if necessary, with just an order from His Majesty the Emperor, the mission can be changed immediately, and peace will be gone in a matter of seconds.
Standing on the bridge of his own ship, Mahir had his hands behind his back and no expression on his face. He was fortunate enough to become the commander of the Space Force's first actual combat mission, and he might also become the first to break the empire after four years.
People in a state of peace.
In front of him is the vast starry sky, the boundless universe, and the border of the entire empire. In a few seconds, his fleet will leave the empire's territory and enter the star field that has not yet been colonized and developed.
"The formation rendezvous is complete, Space Destroyer No. 0015 has joined." A noncommissioned officer reported loudly.
"The synchronized space jump will begin in 20 seconds!" Mahir still showed no expression. The entire fleet of the Airanthil Empire has performed this type of synchronized space jump countless times, and it is not a particularly difficult technical operation.
However, what makes them speechless is that they cannot jump to tens of thousands of light-years in one go. They can only jump forward in a few light-years, and each jump requires waiting for the space engine to be recharged.
By the time they arrived at the planet, maybe the natives on that planet had almost forgotten the stupid things they had done...

I originally wanted to make up for the update today, but my body is still not feeling well, so I can only temporarily resume the update and wait for my health to get better before making up for the update.
