Chapter 22: Pick the Softest Persimmons

"Your Majesty, according to the detectors we launched in advance, the enemy's fleet has been dispersed, and the number of ships they have taken off has only reached half of the original number. At present, the independent fleets of the member states have not shown any signs of taking off." Tianyi reported beside Li Mingze.

"Okay, all troops will attack! Target the enemy's first fleet! Quick battle and quick decision!"

"Yes!"

The Imperial Fleet hidden outside the border started the jump engine towards the enemy's dispersed first fleet.

Bridge of the First Fleet of the Parker Alliance

Commander Hormand was sitting decadently on the command seat, and his vigilant eyes swept over the crew in the bridge from time to time. He had become nervous and always felt that there were infected people around who wanted to infect him with the virus! This made him dare not even contact his secretary!

"Sir, after jumping out of hyperspace ahead, we will reach the destination A-4423 galaxy!" The hyperspace pilot reported to Hormand.

Hormand squinted and nodded gently, indicating that he had received it.

"No, no, no! The armor damage rate exceeds 90%! The damage rate of the warships has reached 35%. There are enemies everywhere. We can't hold on!"

After the fleet jumped out of hyperspace, countless missiles and red beams were seen! The huge explosion threw the unprepared commander Hormand to the ground!

"This is an ambush! Sir! There are too many enemies! Our engine has been destroyed!" The intelligence officer cried to Hormand with a sad face!

With a bang, the huge explosion tore a huge hole in the bridge. The intelligence officer who was still shouting just now was sucked into the universe.

Hormand felt that his surroundings became quiet. The vacuum environment made him unable to hear any sound, only the violent explosion and huge beams in sight!

Hormand was horrified to see a missile shooting towards him. He suddenly felt that the space around his body seemed to have solidified. It was impossible to escape. He closed his eyes in despair.

"Well, I don't have to worry about when I will die from the virus infection. Maybe this is a relief!" This was his last thought before he was blown into pieces by the explosion.

A few minutes later, only the wreckage of the Alliance Fleet's spaceships remained on the originally fierce battlefield. Everything happened so quickly. The fleet was wiped out without even sending a distress signal!

The reason why this ambush tactic was successful was that the Empire detected the fleet entering hyperspace through a detector before accelerating into the radar range of the galaxy, and the spacecraft could not receive any information in hyperspace! The Empire used this subtle time difference to quickly bypass the space station and ambush at the Alliance Fleet's jump exit. (There will be electric light and energy leakage at the exit before jumping out of hyperspace)

A gap was opened through the Alliance Capital Star, but Li Mingze did not intend to attack the Capital Star directly.

The Imperial Fleet continued to activate hyperspace towards the Alliance's Second Fleet.

Although the other fleets of the Alliance received news that a large number of Imperial Fleets appeared here, due to the long distance between galaxies, there was a time difference for other fleets to get here! Li Mingze's goal was to use the time difference and number advantage to eat up as many fleets as possible before the enemy noticed his plan!

Using this tactic put the enemy in an embarrassing situation of constantly coming to die. You know, the power of hundreds of warships and dozens of warships is completely different, and the damage ratio of both sides may reach an astonishing 1:10!

The initial version of the shield is the latest research result of the Empire, and it has the function of self-repair. As long as the main body of the Imperial fleet equipped with the initial version of the shield is not destroyed, the shield will slowly self-repair until it is restored to its original state!

The second squadron is accelerating towards the edge of the galaxy. Because of the different positions between the galaxies, the position where they jumped out of the hyperspace and the position where the Empire jumped out of the hyperspace are separated by a whole galaxy!

It's too late. When the second squadron just reached two-thirds of the journey, the Empire's fleet jumped out of the hyperspace!

"All warships, all main weapons are fired, and concentrate firepower to eliminate the opponent's destroyers first!"

"The power of their cruiser weapons is not a big threat to our fleet, so leave it to the end!" Li Mingze ordered.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The Imperial fleet aimed its beam cannons at the enemy's destroyers, and hundreds of beams gushed out after a few breaths.

Hundreds of warships shone their red lasers on the armor of the Alliance destroyer, like a red-hot blade cutting into tofu, instantly tearing the destroyer to pieces!

Behind the beams arrived countless fusion missiles. The beam weapons of the Alliance fleet fired desperately, trying to intercept the missiles in mid-air, but there were too many missiles! The laser attack seemed pale and powerless.

Thousands of small light balls as bright as the sun were produced with the explosion of the missiles! The hit hulls melted like summer ice cream!

The Alliance fleet lost two-thirds of its personnel as soon as it entered the range! By the time they desperately came to the Imperial Fleet, the second wave of missiles had left the launch bay. The commander of the Alliance Fleet issued a surrender order in despair!

After receiving the surrender order, all Alliance warships turned their guns, shut down their engines and waited for the Imperial Marines to receive them.

The missiles that were about to fly braked one after another, turned slightly and flew to the rear of the fleet, exploding into countless small light spots in the distance!

Hundreds of landing ships following behind the fleet took off and quickly received the surrendered Alliance warships.

After all the Alliance prisoners were detained, the reserve fleet crew quickly took over the Alliance warships and transformed them into the Empire's combat power.

After everything was done, the fleet turned on the engine again and jumped to the third fleet.

After using this tactic to deal with two Alliance squadrons again, the Alliance fleet seemed to have learned its lesson. They no longer came in a scattered manner, but gathered together to form a large fleet. Prepare to wipe out the Empire's fleet in one fell swoop!

In response to the enemy's tactical changes, Li Mingze quickly changed the Empire's combat strategy. Order all captured warships and the warships originally sent to ten star systems to re-form a small squadron! Specialize in destroying space stations or bombing planets at the border! Once the enemy's fleet comes, run immediately! Use the guerrilla tactics of the ancestors to the extreme! And Li Mingze led the main fleet to the enemy's capital star and went straight to Huanglong!

Dozens of captured Alliance warships broke away from the main force, and after joining the original ten light cruisers sent to perform special tasks, they entered hyperspace towards a border star system.

The Empire's large army flashed blue lightning towards the Alliance capital and disappeared.

A few days later, the Alliance Empire capital.

Hundreds of warships were quietly hidden in the starry sky. This was where the Empire fleet was about to jump. The Alliance's Third Fleet, which had received the news from the space stations along the way, had already ambushed here.

In the center of the space minefield in the distance, flashing blue lightning suddenly appeared!

The Empire's army is coming!
