Chapter 325 Gaining Air Superiority

"The upgraded battleships are in the front, the remaining battleships are in the second row, and the cruisers and destroyers are in the last row!" Following Monica's command, the few upgraded battleships in the fleet were pushed to the front of the fleet.

They will use shields and the powerful hulls forged with the metal of the previous generation of civilization to resist the first wave of attacks.

Because the range of the Corruptor's power guns is much higher than that of the Empire's fleet, when the Empire's fleet has not yet entered the range, the Corruptor's shells have already rushed over.

The shields of the hundreds of upgraded battleships leading the way were shattered after a few seconds, and then these shells hit the hulls of the upgraded battleships.

The armor and keels of the battleships, which were strengthened by the metal of the previous generation of civilization, struggled to withstand this overwhelming attack, and the tolerance value of each battleship was close to the warning line.

Fortunately, the attack intensity of these Corruptors has not yet reached the point where the upgraded battleships collapse.

"Upgraded battleships withdraw, ordinary battleships take the top."

"Aim at the first Corruptor fortress, and immediately retreat after firing all at once!" After discovering that the Corruptors relied on immovable fixed turrets, Monica decisively adopted this hit-and-run tactic.

Hundreds of thousands of beams of light and shells were fired from the Empire's Second Division Fleet at the first floating space fortress on the Corruptor capital planet.

The shield of the Corruptor space fortress didn't last more than two seconds before it was shattered by the Empire's weapons.

The remaining shells and beams hit the armor of the Corruptor fortress one after another. Although the energy-absorbing structure of the fortress had tried its best to absorb energy, there was no choice but to deal with the excessive number of salvos this time, coupled with the powerful force.

The first space fortress of the Corruptor didn't even survive this salvo and was blown into flying fragments by countless attacks.

After a successful attack, the Imperial fleet retreated at full speed in the direction it came from, not giving the Corruptor's fortress guns any chance to attack.

When the Corruptor's kinetic cannon was almost fully charged, it was discovered that the Empire's fleet had withdrawn beyond their effective range.

A few hours later, after the Empire's upgraded battleships had fully restored their shields, the Empire's fleet once again rushed towards the Corruptor's fortress under the leadership of the upgraded battleships.

This time, the Corruptors were obviously smarter. They no longer evenly distributed their firepower to the upgraded battleships led by the Imperial fleet, but instead targeted twenty upgraded battleships for concentrated attacks.

Under this concentrated fire attack, the Empire's upgraded battleships were not as lucky as last time. The kinetic energy carried by countless shells had exceeded the tolerance of the previous generation of civilization's metal armor on the battleships.

The twenty targeted Empire upgraded battleships turned into a pile of fragments in a burst of fire.

Monica's eyes twitched. Although such a loss was a bit large, it would be worth it if they could capture their capital star before the Corruptor reinforcements arrived.

"Aim at the second space fortress! Fire!" Monica picked up the communicator and shouted.

The Imperial Fleet, having received the order, aimed the guns of the warships at the second fortress in the orbit of the Corruptor Capital Star.

At this time, although the expeditionary force did not receive the order to withdraw, the two fleets responsible for encircling the two dreadnoughts of the Empire received the communication from the Capital Star.

After knowing that the Capital Star was at risk of falling, the two fleets immediately turned around and rushed to the Capital Star.

And Li Mingze, who had been chased by them for a long time, also received good news from the second squadron fleet. This time, the positions of their two dreadnoughts had a big reversal, from being chased to chasing.

The two dreadnoughts began to chase the two Corruptor fleets that were withdrawing to the Capital Star, intending to interfere with their return and buy time for the attack of the second squadron.

One day later, Tianyi calculated that there were still two days left before the fall of the last line of defense of the Empire.

After a long and tense battle, half of the space fortresses on the third line of defense of the Empire had been destroyed by the Corruptor fleet, and more than half of the newly built warships and fighters had been lost.

At this time, the Second Fleet finally received good news. After more than 20 hours of attack, 45 upgraded battleships and 113 ordinary battleships were sacrificed.

The Second Fleet finally succeeded in taking down the outer space fortress of the capital planet of the Corruptor civilization.

Now the capital planet of the Corruptor is like a naked girl, at the mercy of the Second Fleet of the Empire.

"Use orbital weapons to attack the capital planet of the Corruptor immediately and blow it into a lava planet!" Li Mingze, who was chasing the two Corruptor encirclement fleets, gave the order decisively.

After destroying the command center of the Corruptor, he didn't believe that the remaining Corruptors could still attack the Empire's defense line in such a united and orderly manner.

According to what he learned from Liss, there are six major families among the Corruptor's top leaders, and these six major families are usually full of open and secret struggles.

I believe that after the Corruptor's capital planet is destroyed, there will definitely be families that take the opportunity to seize control of the Corruptor civilization.

At that time, it will be the time for the Empire to reap the benefits!

Monica nodded after receiving Li Mingze's order, and lifted the glass cover on the control console in front of her, revealing the red button inside.

"Orbital bombing authority is enabled! Target the Corruptor capital star in front of us, and start bombing!" After saying that, Monica pressed the button hard.

At this time, she recalled the time when she was just rescued by the Empire. At that time, the Empire was just a weak civilization that had just stepped into the interstellar space.

At that time, the Empire's warships were still a weak fleet composed of frigates and destroyers.

At that time, the Empire even used a large number of transport ships to transport orbital weapons in order to eliminate the Zerg on her home planet.

When she pressed the attack button, the scene of the entire planet's surface being burned into glass by nuclear weapons was vivid in her mind, as if it happened yesterday.

Now, she stood in front of the button again and pressed it, but this time she was no longer facing the Zerg, but the capital of a civilization hostile to the Empire.

But now she has no feelings, as if she has seen life and death, and the life and death of people on a planet can no longer arouse any compassion in her.

She only knows that anyone who stands in front of the Empire is an enemy and must be eliminated, and Li Mingze's order is the first priority. Even if he orders her to destroy the world, she will not hesitate!

As the button is pressed, the orbital attack permissions on each warship are unlocked one after another, and the armor on the belly of the warship begins to unfold to both sides, revealing the neatly stacked nuclear warheads inside.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!" As the countdown ended, nuclear warheads fell from the battleships and headed for the Corruptor's capital planet, which was already below the fleet.
