My Empire of Stars

Chapter 59 Preparing for the General Offensive

The warship that was asked to leave behind could only glide forward by inertia because its thrusters were destroyed. The weapons on the ship continued to spit beams at the approaching Imperial Fleet.

But the warship that lost its maneuverability was just a fixed target in space. Without the interference of irregular maneuvers, the hit rate of the Imperial Fleet was almost

100%!

The warships that left behind only lasted for more than ten minutes before they turned into large fireworks one after another.

Barre gritted his teeth. There was no time. Continuing to resist would only increase casualties! Emergency jump!

The Alliance Fleet, which was chased around like a rabbit by the Imperial Fleet, activated the emergency jump and disappeared into the starry sky.

At this time, Li Mingze, who had landed again on the flagship of the Imperial Second Fleet, walked to the window and looked deeply at the direction where the Alliance Fleet disappeared.

The era of the old alliance is over! Their last home has been exposed to the guns of the Empire!

Li Mingze gently said to Tianyi beside him:

"Tianyi, tell Yang Shihe to transfer the warships of the original First Fleet back to the First Fleet. When the new warships arrive at the Fortress Galaxy, we will launch a general attack on the Alliance's Emon Galaxy!"

"It's time to end this war that has lasted for three years. We need to focus on development for a while."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Tianyi's figure on the open space beside him flashed twice and disappeared. Li Mingze turned and entered the room with the hibernation chamber, and his consciousness returned to the capital of the Empire, Sis.

Time flies, and eight days have passed since the ambush in the Fortress Galaxy.

The new warships have been incorporated into the Empire's First Fleet. The warships that were not seriously damaged were also simply repaired with the help of the engineering ship. Only the severely damaged warships returned to Sis with the remains of the fallen soldiers.

At this time, Liu Yi, the commander of the First Fleet, was also slowly waking up in the medical room of the warship. Because his body had not recovered yet, he had no choice but to return to the edge star for treatment. The command of the First Fleet was officially handed over to Huo Yun.

The prepared First and Second Fleets of the Empire were ready to go.

Li Mingze's majestic figure in armor appeared on the bridge display of the two fleets.

"All warships listen to my orders! Target the Amon system, start the hyperspace engine! The Empire will win!" Li Mingze shouted with his scepter raised high.

"The Empire will win! The Empire will win!" The mighty roar of the soldiers echoed everywhere in the ship.

The fleet composed of hundreds of warships started the hyperspace engine together and disappeared.

A few days later, a small transport ship appeared on the edge of the Amon system. After entering the Amon system, the transport ship turned on the high-power scanner installed on the hull. After confirming that there were no traps such as air mines at the jump exit, it started an emergency jump and re-entered the hyperspace.

In the flagship of the second fleet.

Li Mingze was sitting in the command seat with his eyes closed to rest. The latest ship-borne AI installed by the Empire appeared beside Li Mingze, and a gentle voice pulled Li Mingze out of meditation.

"Your Majesty, the unmanned exploration ship has arrived at the target area first and found no ambush."

Li Mingze opened his eyes:

"Oh, then we can jump out of hyperspace, order all ships to open shields, and charge all weapons!" The Alliance must have discovered their arrival, and there will be a fierce battle waiting for them after leaving hyperspace.

The holographic display in front of the bridge changed from the ship's hull data to the external landscape captured by the hull detector, but because it was still in hyperspace, there was only endless purple in sight.

"We are about to leave hyperspace! Everyone prepare for the impact!" The voice of the ship-borne AI sounded in the battleship, and everyone grabbed the handrails around them.

Accompanied by a blue light, the original purple turned into a deep starry sky. The Imperial Fleet, which had just completed the jump, suddenly found that there were tens of thousands of small light spots flying towards the Imperial battleship in front.

"Encountered an enemy attack!!"

As soon as the AI ​​finished speaking, thousands of light spots had already flown to the front of the fleet. At this time, everyone realized that these were fusion missiles.

"All weapons fire at full power!" Li Mingze shouted in the communication channel!

The close-in defense guns and beam guns on the Empire's warships opened fire at full power, shooting at the approaching missiles. Missiles on the side of the warships detached from the spacecraft and sprayed yellow flames toward the front of the fleet.

A violent flash of light lit up in front of the fleet. The interceptor missiles fired by the Empire detonated themselves in space, intending to use the explosion to intercept the enemy's missiles.

Although the effect was good, many missiles still escaped and flew towards the two fleets. At this time, the close-in defense guns and beam guns were already red, and the heat generated by long-term shooting made the firing rate begin to slow down.

"Find cover! Prepare for the impact!" The voice of Yang Shihe, commander of the second fleet, sounded in the communication channel.

As the missiles hit the shields of the Empire's fleet warships, small suns lit up in the starry sky!

"Shield 80%, shield 42%, shield broken!" The system alarm sounded continuously.

In the blink of an eye, the fleet's shields were shattered into blue light spots in the nuclear explosion and dissipated in the air. The warships could only rely on armor to withstand the next impact.

There was a huge sound of metal tearing, and the warship shook violently. Soldiers who didn't hold on tightly were thrown aside, and sparks fell from the top of the bridge. A monitor couldn't withstand the violent vibration and fell off the ceiling, hitting a soldier.

"Send him to the infirmary quickly! Ari, report to me the damage to the fleet!" Yang Shihe shouted loudly.

"The warship is 99.84% intact. A utility room caught fire and has been extinguished! No ships of the Second Fleet were sacrificed. A destroyer of the First Fleet was hit by missiles continuously and the reactor exploded." Intelligence officer Ari wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported.

"Your Majesty, the damage is not very serious. Should we start the general attack?" Yang Shihe turned and asked Li Mingze respectfully.

Li Mingze nodded:

"Notify the First Fleet to cover, and the Second Fleet will press on!"

The First Fleet, which received the order, scattered and escorted the Second Fleet in the four directions of the upper, lower, left and right. The two fleets flew towards the distant Emon Star in a huge cross shape.

At this time, the second wave of missiles of the Parker Alliance had also swarmed out from the orbit of Emon Star and attacked the Imperial Fleet.

However, this no longer posed a threat to the Imperial Fleet, which was already prepared! Just now, it was because the enemy's missiles suddenly appeared and had flown beyond the optimal interception distance that caused such a great harm.

Now these missiles are so far away from the fleet that they are nothing more than tens of thousands of smaller targets.

"Launch the interceptor missiles!" Yang Shihe and Huo Yun ordered at the same time.

Countless missiles left the fleet one after another and flew towards the missile group of the alliance in the distance. Soon, a dazzling white light flashed in the distance.
