Chapter 92 Declaration of War
Note: From this chapter on, "light cruiser" is renamed "frigate"! !
A violent blue electric light suddenly appeared at the edge of the Woston galaxy, the border of the Imbechi Alliance.
In the observation station at the edge of the Woston galaxy, the alarm sounded throughout the base, and several urgent messages were sent to the planetary government on Woston II and the capital star of the alliance.
At the same time as the electric light appeared, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sith Empire sent a declaration of war to the Imbechi Alliance.
At the same time, it announced to the surrounding countries that this war was just! A group of interstellar terrorists hid in the Imbechi Alliance, but the Imbechi Alliance sheltered them!
This behavior is extremely shameful! There is a price to pay! The dignity of the empire cannot be trampled on!
But to the surprise of the Imbechi Alliance, after the flash appeared in the Manchiton galaxy, an ordinary transport ship jumped out...
In the energy cloud at the edge of the Comanche galaxy next to the Woston galaxy, a fleet consisting of hundreds of destroyers, hundreds of frigates and thousands of transport ships disguised as warships left the hyperspace and came to the universe.
In the bridge of the flagship of this fleet, Huo Yun, who has been promoted to the commander of the third fleet, is sitting on the command seat, playing with the command knife in his hand.
A vibration came, and the holographic screen of the battleship bridge changed from a purple to a pale yellow starry sky. The yellow nebula in the distance was clearly visible, reflecting the starry sky beautifully.
"Report! We have arrived at the Comanche galaxy. The energy fog in the nebula has caused strong interference to our radar!" The crew member in charge of the spacecraft radar stood up and saluted Huo Yun and reported.
"Send detectors around! Provide us with early warning." Huo Yun put the command knife back into the scabbard in his hand and stood up to order.
The warehouses of several destroyers in the fleet slowly opened, and hundreds of detectors flew around.
As the probe flew around the bridge, the space around the spaceship on the holographic screen gradually changed from a blur to a clear holographic image.
"No enemy found!"
"Very good, move towards the predetermined target." Huo Yun selected the target that had been explored before departure on the map in front of him: Comanche Star
Comanche Star has a diameter of 11,963 kilometers, a thin atmosphere, a harsh climate, very little water resources on the planet, and 90% of the planet's surface is covered with deserts. The temperature difference is huge. The desert is extremely cold at night, and it can reach extremely high temperatures under direct sunlight during the day. It is simply an uninhabitable barren planet.
However, since the Imbechi Alliance discovered a prophet's ruins on Comanche Star, several large scientific research bases and space stations have sprung up here! There is even a small escort fleet in the orbital space station responsible for the safety of this star field.
The Empire's fleet is advancing rapidly towards Comanche Star, and a large number of deep space probes are constantly dispatched along the way.
The alarm sounded in the warships of the Imbechi Guard Fleet. The detector hidden in the meteorite discovered the Imperial Fleet approaching at high speed.
Dozens of Imbechi frigates ignited their thrusters and slowly left the port where they were docked.
In the Imbechi Space Station, the commander in charge of this guard fleet smiled as he watched the red dot approaching on the radar.
"As expected by the think tank, the Sith Empire sent a decoy fleet. Let's have some fun with the Sith Empire."
The Imbechi Guard Fleet that left the airport did not leave, but circled around the space station.
The Imperial fleet was getting closer and closer to Comanche, and the pale yellow Comanche was vaguely visible.
The Imperial Fleet began to change its formation, with dozens of destroyers staying in the middle of the formation and frigates moving to the wings of the fleet.
"General, we will reach the orbit of Comanche in fifteen minutes." A crew member in the Imperial flagship reported.
Huo Yun nodded:
"All weapons are charged, don't worry about damage and accuracy, fire a volley outside the range to disrupt the enemy's formation."
"Yes, sir."
The gun platforms of the battleships in the Imperial Fleet began to emit a faint red light, and the muzzles were aimed at the distant Imbechi escort fleet.
Zizi... The sound of beam cannons simulated by the computer sounded in the battleships, and red beams shot towards the distant Imbechi battleships.
Looking at the beams, the commander of Imbechi was not fooled.
"All battleships should not move. After this ultra-long-range firing, the beam cannons will not have much power left. Use the shields to carry it through."
The Imbechi fleet was no longer panicked, but increased the power of the shields, and a touch of blue light flashed on the battleship armor.
Countless red beams arrived in the blink of an eye and hit the Imbechi fleet. The shields of the Imbechi battleships showed their shapes in the attack, and the blue light film covered the battleship armor.
"Shield loss rate 11%! Estimated to recover in five minutes!" The soldier reported to the fleet commander beside him.
Commander Imbechi nodded with satisfaction and ordered:
"Order the space station weapons to start charging, the fleet to make irregular maneuvers around the space station, do not leave the protection range of the space station."
"Yes, sir," the soldier saluted and turned away.
The Imbechi space station turret slowly turned towards the direction of the Imperial Fleet. Unlike the Empire, Imbechi used kinetic weapons, that is, electromagnetic railguns.
Unlike the Empire's vigorous development of energy weapons, the Imbechi Alliance did not choose to develop energy weapons, but developed railguns to a new level, giving them stronger destructive power than beam weapons, but the charging and cooling time were much longer.
A few minutes later, the Imperial Fleet entered the range of the orbital gun, and metal bullets flew out of the barrel and attacked the Imperial Fleet.
"Open the shield and prepare for the impact!" Huo Yun commanded calmly.
Through the holographic screen, everyone saw hundreds of "meteors" flying from the direction of Comanche Star, and in the blink of an eye, these meteors hit the shield of the battleship.
A huge vibration came, and the alarm in the ship kept ringing. Fortunately, although the orbital gun had great destructive power, the shield had a restraining attribute to it. However, it would be miserable to use armor to resist this kind of kinetic weapon.
"The frigates pressed forward, and other warships did not move, and led the enemy out of the protection range of the space station." Huo Yun ordered.
The frigates on both wings immediately separated a small part and flew towards the Imbechi guard fleet, emitting beams of light in a luring manner.
Commander Imbechi looked at the time and nodded with satisfaction:
"Okay, send a distress signal to the headquarters and send out the escort fleet to deal with it."
"Yes, sir!"
A beam of encrypted signals was sent from the Comanche Star Station to the starry sky...
Inside the Imperial flagship.
"General, the enemy has sent a distress signal!"
"Very good, when the enemy's support fleet arrives, our mission will be completed. Let each warship charge the hyperspace engine in advance. If the enemy's main force appears, we will withdraw from the Comanche system." Huo Yun said with satisfaction.
I was typing last night and the power went out! ! But for so many friends who support me, I can't stop updating, so I can only go to the Internet cafe to make up for it all night... Woohoo, the author's curse: becoming an author will inevitably lead to a power outage!
