The Dreadnought Fleet is a special fleet that enjoys the title of invincibility within the Federation.
From the time it was first established in the Large Magellanic Cloud to the present day, it has never lost a single spacecraft in battle, and not even a single crew member has been sacrificed.
But now, more than 100,000 warships have been lost. Although this number is not even a scratch for the five cluster fleets, it is also an unprecedented first time in the history of the entire Dreadnought Fleet.
However, the opposite side of the Seles Republic was even more miserable. As the Bisalamo Republic set out first, they suffered heavy losses in these ten hours, with the number of destroyed warships approaching the 5 billion mark.
But in any case, the number and level of civilization are there, even if it is because there has not been a large-scale war for tens of thousands of years and the extremely unfavorable terrain in the mouth of the ocean, it is gradually established after a steady stream of support arrives.
The prototype of a bridgehead was formed.
At this moment, at the exit of the ocean current, nearly 100 million warships of the Seras Empire had gathered, and the casualties of the Dreadnought Fleet also increased sharply. From the first five hours, there was no loss, to the next five hours.
More than 100,000 warships were lost in an hour, especially in the last hour, the number of losses directly reached 80,000.
In order to deal with this situation, Lin Kexin had to order the fleet on the first line of defense to retreat to the second line of defense. At the same time, since the second line of defense was a full 2 au away from the ocean outlet, it was many times larger here.
Lin Kexin also threw the remaining three reserve groups into the hemispherical encirclement.
The five galaxy clusters, coupled with a huge number of fire support platforms, immediately suppressed the signs of the Seras Empire's counterattack, but this... was only temporary. The rest depends on the Nether Fleet.
When will support arrive?
"Commander, I suggest using Zero Point missiles to clean up a wave and knock out the opponent's bridgehead!"
"It may not be effective, but you can try it. Prepare ten zero-point missiles and launch them at the same time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Kexin shook her head and then said.
After all, the new dreadnought fleet was tested after being refitted, and the test results showed that the dark energy shield can completely withstand the bombardment of zero-point missiles. It would take at least five missiles to destroy a warship with a dark energy shield.
Zero point missiles continued to bomb.
However, the opponent's warships are constantly arriving. Let's not talk about whether the zero-point missile is effective. Even if it is, do you want to lose it for several days or even dozens of days in a row?
Even if the Federation currently has a large reserve of zero-point missiles, it cannot withstand such consumption!
The most important thing is that people may not be able to resist forcefully. Not to mention the civilization on the other side, the Federation itself has several methods to prevent zero-point missiles. The simplest method is to directly attack the hyperspace engine.
Interference will prevent your zero-point missile from even having a chance to hit you!
"Commander, preparations for zero-point missile launch are complete, quantity 10!"
"emission!"
"Yes, the Zero Point missile has been launched!"
Ten missiles were instantly shot out of the New Roselle's belly, and after a short flight, they started their small hyperspace engines and plunged into the blue hyperspace window.
At the same time, in the center of the Seras Empire fleet, in the bridge of a battleship that was obviously different from the surrounding ones, First-Class General Wilvis was looking at the tactical board with a solemn expression.
He arrived at Jerez about five hours ago, and it was precisely because of his arrival that the chaos of the Seras fleet was finally ended, giving it a unified command and gradually building a bridgehead at the mouth of the ocean current.
"Although the opponent retreated 1au, they were able to invest more warships in the encirclement, and the fleets did not have to be as crowded as before. Overall, we will still be passively beaten for a long time.
situation."
Wilvis' face didn't look very good. The intelligence error led to a sharp increase in casualties, which far exceeded the original prediction.
Before departure, Wilvis, as the commander of the vanguard fleet, had already deduced that even if the seventh-level biological civilization and the eighth-level technological civilization were stationed at the ocean current node, he was confident that he could easily capture it and incur battle losses.
There will be no more than 1 billion battleships.
But now, the situation is completely different. This is not the eighth level of technological civilization. It is obviously the ninth level. Even if the opponent only has 5 billion warships, he wants to completely win Jerez without losing any numbers.
Tens of billions of warships are simply impossible!
And this... is still based on the fact that the other party has no support!
"General, it has been detected that the enemy has opened ten hyperspace windows, on a micro scale!"
"Huh? No, turn off the dark energy shield immediately, switch to phase shield, and notify all warships except the outermost ones at the same time. Act quickly!"
Wilvis's face suddenly changed when he suddenly thought of something, and he immediately yelled at the adjutant.
After all, they had obtained some information about their opponents from Purgatory, so they naturally knew that humans had such things as zero-point missiles.
Although this kind of thing is not that big a threat to the ninth-level civilization, the problem is that now all the fleets of the Seras Empire are crowded together. If coupled with the intensive bombardment of zero-point missiles, the dark energy shield will really
Can't bear it.
The moment Wilvis's car had just switched to mutual shielding, ten zero-point missiles had already shot out of the hyperspace window and exploded directly in the fleet of the Seras Empire.
The first one to be hit was the battleship that had turned off its dark energy shield but had not yet had time to activate its phase shield. In just an instant, it was swallowed up by the powerful energy and turned into dust in the universe.
Then it was the turn of the warships on the periphery of the array that had not turned off their dark energy shields. After all, all warships could not turn off their dark energy shields. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand the waves of human beings after everyone had turned them off?
Wave attack?
Therefore, Wilvis did not let the outer warships turn off the dark energy shields from the beginning.
Although the dark energy shield also has excellent defense against zero-point particle energy, it cannot withstand the concentrated bombardment of too many zero-point missiles. After a few seconds of resistance, the dark energy shields on all the warships were broken one after another, and then
What followed was that countless battleships were destroyed one after another.
In this wave, although there are no detailed statistics, at least 20 million warships were destroyed, which made Wilvis, who was in different phases, almost bursting with tears.
It was clear that I had obtained intelligence a long time ago that the other party had such weapons, but why didn't I respond in advance?
Is there nothing you can do?
No, I have at least ten ways to prevent this kind of human weapon in advance.
However, he did nothing!
At this moment, Wilvis wanted to slap himself.
In fact, if I really want to say it, I still say the same thing. I have been at ease for too long without fighting a large-scale war. In terms of experience in interstellar warfare, the Seras Empire is still too lacking.
