Just after adjusting his flight trajectory to the core of the Empire's First Fleet formation on the flank of Higgs 5, in the bridge of the super battleship Seris, an officer held his chin high and reported loudly: "The enemy is approaching! The distance is
4.5 million kilometers! The Star Destroyer Cannon is fully charged!"
"Strong electromagnetic interference environment! These guards came out with their own BGM, right?" Not far away, an officer sitting in front of the radar screen couldn't help but complain in a low voice after reporting the situation.
"The radar detection accuracy is affected! We are using the backup frequency band for reinforcement!" Another officer shouted loudly.
The weapons officer stood astride his command position and immediately reported: "All energy laser cannon main cannons are ready to fire!"
"The magic defense barrier is opened! The output power reaches the maximum!" A senior puppet robot sitting on the console controlled the switch in front of him and reported in his unique voice.
The entire bridge was busy. In the corner, a combat staff officer in charge stood stiffly, staring at the three-dimensional star map in front of him in a daze.
Behind him, the chief of staff of the First Fleet came over and put his hand on his shoulder.
The officer who had been in a daze came to his senses, turned his head to look at his superior, and said softly: "Sir..."
"Are you nervous?" The chief of staff, who was already in his fifties, asked softly with a smile. Behind him, the entire bridge was still noisy, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.
"I am willing to fight for my country!" the young officer replied standing at attention.
The chief of staff let go of the other person's shoulders, with a faint smile still on his face, and encouraged him: "Very good! I'm proud of you!"
Inside the bridge, the atmosphere was still so tense that it was suffocating, because everyone had never seen such a number of opponents!
What you see on the monitor, those huge fleets that cover the sky and the sun, were something that the Airanhill Empire was proud of in the past - now, the enemies of the Airanhill Empire also have the same thing!
The officer guarding the detection radar loudly reminded again: "Report! The enemy is 4.1 million kilometers away!"
"The ballistic computer is calculating the aiming data..." the weapons officer glanced at the working aiming computer and reminded him.
"No need to aim! With this density, as long as you fire, you will definitely hit the target! Fire!" Genesis, who was sitting at the top, stood up and decided to preemptively fire and cause some trouble for the opponent.
"Understood! Fire!" After hearing his order, the weapons officer immediately grabbed the phone in front of him and loudly gave the order to fire.
"Flagship Siris gave the order to Marshal Lawns...Fire!" Admiral Bakalov, Commander-in-Chief of the Second Fleet, who had been waiting at the command position, heard the order to fire and immediately issued the order.
"Fire the Star Destroyer Cannon!" On the bridge of the battleship Gushan, which was advancing side by side, the captain stood up and slashed his palm forward.
"Fire!" Further away, following the captain's order, the Star Destroyer Cannon on the bow of the battleship Longshek had already lit up.
"Magic laser cannon fire!" At the same time, the captain of the battleship Seris, the flagship of the First Fleet, gave the order to fire a salvo.
Almost at the same time, on the deck of the Seris battleship, the huge twin turrets began to adjust their angles slightly, aiming the two stubby muzzles at the darkness pointed by the bow of the ship.
After a brief silence, these dark barrels suddenly lit up, and huge energy beams rushed into the distance.
"Fire!" In the bridge of more battleships, the commander issued the order to attack. As these attack orders were issued, light like a musical score connected from the direction of the Alandhill Empire fleet to the darkness in the distance.
among.
"Main gun salvo!" The same order spread to all the battleship command cabins, and all commanders were giving almost the same order.
"Fire!" The orders came one after another, turning the entire battlefield into a visual feast.
Countless beams of light appeared between the two fleets. At the same time, there were rounds of energy clusters fired by magic laser cannons as dense as raindrops flying between the energy beams of the Star Destroyer Cannons.
The Watcher fleet, which had been heading towards its designated target, Higgs 5, suddenly became as bright as day.
Countless rays of energy crashed into the Watcher's fleet, instantly illuminating those huge super battleships.
The fatal beam suddenly penetrated an advancing Guardian spacecraft and directly exploded the spacecraft into powder.
The huge power of the Star Destroyer Cannon was simply devastating. After penetrating a Watcher's Guardian spacecraft, it continued to fly forward until it hit a larger and shockingly large ship.
The front end of the spacecraft was blocked.
Even so, the terrifying vibration still shook the huge battleship that could not be destroyed just by looking at its size.
The front end of this battleship was originally filled with sharp spikes, but with the explosion, these spikes began to shatter, splashing into the universe, and flying everywhere.
"Boom!" The battleship here was still shaken and collapsed by the explosion, and another guardian spacecraft over there was directly hit and exploded.
Because there were so many of them, these Guardian spacecraft were unable to make decent evasive actions when being attacked, so they could only follow the original flight trajectory and hit the incoming energy beam.
"Ah! Stupid bacteria! Their struggle only makes me feel more excited!" Solens's voice sounded in the darkness, seeming to be much more excited than before.
He twisted his huge body in the darkness, causing bursts of rumbling sounds: "Start counterattack! All energy cannons open fire!"
After a brief pause, he continued to order: "Order the more powerful Advocate spacecraft to move forward! Disperse the guardians to both wings! The battleships open fire!"
"Buzz...chirp!" The bow of a huge Arbitrator spacecraft that was rushing ahead shot out a thicker black light, and instantly flew towards the fleet of the Elanthir Empire that kept flashing in the distance.
.
At the same time, more black light began to fly towards the Elanshir Empire fleet, and some of the black energy even directly collided with the shining light, directly triggering a terrifying explosion.
"Boom!" A black energy hit the thick magic defense barrier, and the Alandhir Empire Invincible-class battleship, which was as huge as a flying city, also shook.
Feeling the vibration coming from under his feet, the commander of the warship who was the first to defend against the enemy outside the fleet frowned and ordered: "Activate the second set of defense devices! Let the first set of defense devices dissipate heat! Prepare for impact! All artillery pieces
Keep firing!"
"Keep firing!" the weapons officer repeated his captain's order. On the huge turret on the deck, the black barrel continued to pour violent energy toward the enemy.
Seeing the fleets of both sides shooting at each other intensively, Origins walked to the star chart table where the staff were sitting.
A staff officer pointed at his own fleet with the cursor and said anxiously: "With this density, it is impossible to avoid enemy attacks... We can only use defense to resist the enemy's counterattack! This one consumes energy! It's not good for us.
It doesn’t seem very beneficial.”
Origin gestured in the middle of his own fleet: "There is no way. If we cannot ensure the density of firepower output from the front, the enemy will approach our fleet from the center and try to knock off our defense line from the front!"
"It's so nerve-wracking! Now it's just a matter of seeing who of the two sides can't bear the loss first, or whose defensive means fail first... It's like two giants are standing and punching each other, and the competition is to see who can't bear the loss first and fall down...
"The chief of staff muttered helplessly.
"The one who falls first is the one who loses..." Lawns also said with emotion.
The current battle situation is far from reaching the stage where the outcome is truly determined. Everyone is testing each other. What seems like a devastating intensive attack is actually just an appetizer.
Lawns knew, and he felt that the commander of the Watchers also knew very well that what was really fatal was the ensuing war of attrition.
Soon everyone's defense methods will become ineffective due to energy exhaustion and distance shortening. At that time, the instantaneous losses will increase to a terrifying order of magnitude.
The battle damage will expand to an unbearable level within an hour. Whoever exhausts his warships first may lose his "air superiority".
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Airan Hill Empire's space fleet, Lawns is naturally unwilling to destroy all the empire's fleets in one morning.
Avoiding such losses and preserving the fleet as much as possible to win is the reason why Chris appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Space Fleet.
If a fleet commander-in-chief only knows how to face the enemy fleet and win, and defeat his own fleet and lose, then he is not worthy of Chris's trust.
Until now, the main reason why he has not responded is that he has not yet figured out the intelligence of many enemies, and both sides are just testing each other.
Real decisions are made based on the actual situation after roughly judging the situation.
"Marshal! The detector found that the enemy's strange ball spacecraft is extending to the two wings... Those huge warships are reaching the front!" An officer came over and reported loudly.
"Do you want to order the obstructing boat to give up its position? Interesting." Lawns saw the subtle changes in the star map and immediately reacted, and sneered.
"Since these guys think it is interesting to extend the front line, then I will let them see what the strategic will of the Airan Hill Empire Space Fleet is!" Lawns looked at his adjutant and ordered loudly: "Order, deploy
Move out in front of the 3rd Fleet in the Arant region! Detour from the flanks and prepare to flank the invading enemy fleet!"
"In addition! Order the 4th Fleet deployed in Dothan to move closer to me and prepare to contact the enemy's flanking fleet!" He paused and continued the order.
"Yes!" After the adjutant recorded his order, he immediately turned around to convey the marshal's combat order.
"The frontal battle will continue for a while. It seems that those huge super battleships are not easy to deal with! The enemy is not much behind us in technology!" Lawns looked at his side getting closer and closer.
The giant enemy fleet at the defense line frowned and said.
He still has the 5th Fleet and the 6th Fleet as reserves, which can be put into battle at any time, so he is not in a hurry to make tactical changes, but just waits patiently, waiting for the enemy to reveal his flaws first.
At the tactical level, the side that makes changes first can gain local advantages first, but the side that responds later has more precise counterattack opportunities - the choice depends entirely on the commander's decision-making and the comparison of the strengths of both sides.
The side that takes the lead in choosing changes is often the side with slightly weaker strength. Because it is slightly weaker, it is more willing to actively change the battlefield situation in order to win.
If the party that responds later fails to respond in time, it may miss the opportunity and eventually ruin its advantage and lose the entire battle.
Although Lawns does not feel that he has an advantage in this aspect, he is more willing to wait for opportunities. He is confident that he can keenly capture the fleeting dawn of victory on the battlefield!
At the same time, at the core of the Watcher fleet, inside the super battleship called the Destroyer, Solons was also paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
The fight between the two sides has just begun, and his mood is getting better and better now. Compared to the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, which is as vulnerable as a clay sculpture, this opponent can completely excite him.
Even if it was just a face-to-face encounter, the trouble the other party had brought to him already gave him a feeling of surprise. This was a civilization worthy of his long journey to witness its destruction with his own eyes. Now he simply wanted to laugh out loud.
"Their number of warships is also very large. According to your order, we are stretching the fighting area between the two sides, trying to disperse the opponent's forces and find the opponent's weak points..." A voice explained to Sorens.
"I asked the guardians to get out of the way because I didn't want them to get in the way of the Arbiter warship! What a boring thing it would be to lengthen the defense line!" Sorens corrected the other party's wrong thinking with disdain: "Conspiracy and
Conspiracies are just the struggle of weak beings."
"They are destined to be destroyed! So no matter how hard they struggle, no matter how they calculate, it is just a useless fantasy to resist destruction." Solens twisted his huge body and said in his weird voice.
"Order the Arbitrator battleship to move forward! Split the opponent's defense line from the middle! Simple, crude, and effective! What an intoxicating decision! Hahahahaha!" Solens ordered while smiling.
"As you wish! Sir!" Another deep voice sounded, replying word by word.
