Chapter 1184: Angel City Fortress: First Battle!
Beyond the Angelic Front, one can see a vast and mighty Order Zerg army, a dark mass of them sweeping towards the Angelic Front.
"Based on preliminary assessments, the number of Zerg motherships within a six-hour flight range on our front line is around ten million."
Among them were ten T5 Leviathan-class Zerg motherships.
Inside the command center of the Angel City Fortress, the adjutant looked nervously at Commander Haina.
This was the first real battle for their Angel City fortress, so even their high-ranking officers were quite nervous and apprehensive.
Now that the enemy is right in front of us, in this tense and ominous situation, very few people can remain calm.
At this moment, the adjutant noticed that his mermaid commander had a very calm expression, and there was not even a trace of worry or tension °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° in his eyes.
It was as if she were facing a routine simulated combat exercise.
"Issue orders to all weapon units, including the main cannons, railguns, and energy rapid-fire cannons of each fortress, that they are not to launch an attack without my command."
"Let some of the bugs on the other side in first!" Commander Haina issued the first order.
The adjutant immediately relayed the message.
"All starfighters and star drones from all departments, prepare yourselves and await my orders to deploy immediately!"
"All missile launch units are ready to launch."
"All squads of the Star Guardian-class interstellar unmanned guard ships, take up your combat positions and enter standby status as per my orders!"
"..."
After giving these instructions, Commander Haina turned her gaze to another electronic window in front of her.
On that electronic window were the Dragon Empire fleet currently within the Angel City Fortress area, and the Dragon Empire fleet that was about to arrive within the Angel City Fortress area.
No Dragon Empire fleet has arrived at the interstellar fortress yet.
However, three teams are already awaiting support; it's just a matter of time.
With everything arranged, all that's left is to wait for the enemy to approach.
Bridge of the Nantianmen Starship
Although it's called a bridge, it's actually more like a stargate control room.
"The fleet is currently being transported," the adjutant reported from the side.
"Hmm." Jiang Xiaoni glanced at the control device, then continued watching the battlefield broadcast.
There was even an electronic notebook that was already open next to her.
This is one of her habits.
Knowing she couldn't match others' talent, she would record every battle and repeatedly analyze it, gradually grasping its essence.
This war was undoubtedly a typical defensive war.
With minimal effort, find a way to block and deplete the enemy's main force.
This reduces the pressure on the northern insect nest defense line behind.
Time passed little by little.
Perhaps no one within the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire could have imagined that a battle concerning the fate of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was taking place in a star system so far away from it.
Commander Haina stared at the holographic interstellar sandbox before her, and finally, the Order Zerg fleet had entered the range she had anticipated.
Because the weapons used in Angel City Fortress are all large, there is no need to reduce the size of the weapons due to the size limitations of interstellar warships, thus avoiding any impact on their range.
All of these fortress weapons can be described as having an incredibly terrifying range.
It far surpasses most interstellar warships of the same class.
"Three enemy T5 Leviathan-class Zerg hive motherships have entered the firing range of our fortress's giant cannons."
Super Angel Fortress's giant cannon has locked onto this target; it must be destroyed!
"Fortress Orbital Heavy Cannons, fire freely and annihilate all Order Zerg within their attack range!"
"The fortress's energy rapid-fire cannons are primarily targeting T3-level Zerg motherships and have attempted to raid our fortress's high-mobility enemy targets to ensure the safety of the fortress's safe zone!"
"Fortress secondary guns, fire freely and destroy all targets you can reach!"
"The fortress's close-in weapon system is activated, fully automatic defense, to ensure the safety of the interstellar fortress."
"The first echelon of Angel Hunter starfighters has been deployed, with the main missions being to protect the stargate and eliminate enemy Zerg combat units that have infiltrated."
The battle will last for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, the second flight echelon will take over!
"The first team of Butterfly Angel interstellar drones has been deployed."
If necessary, launch suicide attacks against high-value targets hidden behind enemy lines!
All other combat units, remain in place and await further orders!
Commander Haina's orders have been delivered.
The entire Angel City fortress is now officially operational.
It began to bare its fangs at the enemy.
The most eye-catching feature is the Super Angel Fortress Cannon on the fortress, of which there are ten in total.
Located in different directions from the fortress, their large size severely limits their attack angles, which is their only drawback.
At this moment, the three super angel fortress cannons located in the direction of the battlefield slowly rotated, aiming their huge muzzles at the three T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg motherships opposite!
"fire!"
The three Super Angel Fortress cannons launched their attacks almost simultaneously, sending out terrifying crimson orbs of light like cannonballs.
All low-level Zerg motherships and Zerg combat units in the area it passed through were completely wiped out.
Although the obstruction from these low-level Zerg motherships and Zerg combat units somewhat mitigated the energy intensity of the three fortress cannon attacks.
But when they finally hit the enemy's three-headed T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg mothership, the effect was quite significant.
A Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg mothership was unfortunately hit directly in the head, its entire head caved in, leaving only a large crater from the explosion.
This means that the Leviathan-class Zerg hive mothership has essentially lost its combat capability.
The remaining two Leviathan-class Hive Motherships were relatively lucky, but although they were not killed on the spot, they suffered great damage.
Even from a great distance, you could see a terrifying, arc-shaped wound, like a huge whale whose side had been bitten by something.
You can see the skeletal remains inside, which gives you the creeps.
The attack on the three Leviathan-class Zerg motherships clearly enraged the Order Zerg fleet, which charged even faster.
Even on radio channels, one can feel the other party's strong fluctuations.
If Mushihime were here right now, she would probably say something.
These Order Zerg are angry and furious; they now want to tear apart everything in their path.
But today, this Angel City fortress will become a forbidden zone they cannot cross!
The Zerg mothership opposite began deploying its Zerg combat units, a massive, dark mass.
Even the Wyvern Legion, with its extremely strong computing capabilities, is unable to calculate exactly how many Zerg combat units are in this star field.
But no matter how many Zerg combat units there are.
They could not get past the terrifying barrage of firepower from the Angel City fortress.
The 20,000 fortress energy rapid-fire cannons, relying on almost non-stop firing, formed a huge fire net. Zerg combat units that entered the fire net would be instantly annihilated.
And for some higher-level Zerg combat units, or Zerg motherships.
Naturally, there are other, more powerful weapons designed to counter them.
For example, 1,100 fortress railguns and 200,000 fortress secondary guns, although both types of weapons have intervals between their attacks.
But dealing with the current Zerg is still not a problem.
"How are the various energy repositories in the fortress operating?" Commander Haina looked at an important information panel for the fortress next to her.
There are a full one hundred energy piles on it.
These one hundred energy piles are the heart of the entire Angel City fortress.
In peacetime, these energy repositories keep the Angel City fortress running.
In wartime, they will provide the necessary operational energy for those war machines.
Of course, these energy repositories are not inexhaustible; they require the consumption of stored raw materials and resources.
Once these raw materials are exhausted, these energy repositories will also be depleted.
This is the same principle as adding fuel to a fire.
This is why Zhao Chen specifically arranged the T6 South Heavenly Gate starship on the Angel Front, so that a support fleet could be dispatched here at any time to assist in the battle.
Another, more important reason is that it can provide a continuous supply of energy and materials needed for the Angel City Fortress.
Only in this way can this war fortress continue to operate.
"Everything is operating normally, and the current supply rate of each energy stack is only 30%."
"It's far from meeting the supply capacity standard," the adjutant said from the side.
The supply of these energy stacks involves more than just the consumption of energy and materials.
Another issue is the supply rate.
If certain super-large weapons and industrial facilities such as shipyards operate at high frequency and high load, it will lead to the supply rate being oversaturated, resulting in situations such as energy reactor overload.
If the overload condition persists for an extended period, it can cause potentially permanent damage to the energy reactor.
It might even malfunction completely!
Therefore, these one hundred 'hearts' are of utmost importance.
"Closely monitor the operation of these energy reactors."
"Remind me immediately if the supply rate reaches 80%!" Commander Haina said with a serious expression.
"yes."
The battle at the Angel City Fortress is intensifying.
On the thousands of flight decks on the flanks of the Angel City fortress, rows of pre-prepared Angel-class starfighters launched at incredible speeds, forming flight formations outside to carry out their combat missions, primarily defensive.
Inside the open hatch in the belly of the Angel City fortress.
The butterfly-angel-class interstellar drones, hanging upside down like bats, were dropped down, their numbers as numerous as insects spreading their wings for the first time.
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were insectoids.
They were so numerous that I even worried they might collide.
However, under the operation of the extremely advanced AI in the Angel City Fortress, these interstellar drones can quickly carry out their combat missions.
Some are primarily focused on airspace defense.
Some will wait for orders.
For example, at this moment, a T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg mothership is attempting to retreat after suffering heavy damage.
At this point, a squadron of Butterfly Angel-class interstellar drones will swarm in and launch a deadly attack on the T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg hive mothership.
Finally, destroy this T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg hive mothership!
In addition, 30,000 T4 Star Guardian-class interplanetary unmanned guard ships are already on standby in their respective combat positions, ready to engage these Zerg motherships at any time.
Meanwhile, the opposing Order Zerg fleet struggled to advance much during its initial offensive.
However, as the battle continues, the swarm tactics can still allow them to slowly advance the front line.
Put pressure on the Angel City Fortress.
"Star missiles ready." Commander Haina calmly observed everything, as if it were all under her control!
...
Rakshasa Hades-class Interstellar Dreadnought - Bridge
"The battle in Angel City has been going on for ten hours." Zhao Chen said, looking at Charlotte walking towards him.
I guess she's here to tell me about the battle over the past ten hours.
"Yes.
After ten hours of fighting, the outer defenses of Angel City Fortress are still under control.
Because the battle was so intense, it was impossible to calculate exactly how many low-level Zerg motherships were destroyed.
As for the T5 Zerg mothership, at least five of them have already been destroyed!
Although a portion of the Order Zerg fleet bypassed the Angel City Fortress defenses and continued heading towards our northern Zerg hive defenses.
However, the numbers have been greatly disrupted.
"As you can expect, this will greatly reduce the pressure on our northern Zerg hive defenses," Charlotte said.
"The T6-level Zerg mothership hasn't appeared yet?" Zhao Chen asked seriously.
Although low-level Zerg motherships are inferior to the interstellar warships of other races of the same level, they rely solely on Zerg swarm tactics for combat.
However, his long-term experience fighting the Zerg, as well as some Zerg information obtained from consulting the Zerg Queen, proved valuable.
As the Zerg evolved, the combat capabilities of their hive motherships also underwent significant changes.
Especially the T6 Zergling Mothership.
According to Mushihime's evaluation.
It absolutely surpasses any known T6-class interstellar warship in this universe.
Therefore, Zhao Chen and Charlotte were very concerned about whether the Order Zerg had already developed a T6 Zerg Hive Mothership.
"We haven't yet discovered any T6 Zerg motherships among the Order Zerg," Charlotte said.
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction, but then said, "The opposing Order Zerg are not like ordinary Zerg; they have their own commanders."
They will definitely figure out what we're thinking, and at that point, their most direct approach will be to directly attack our angelic front.
Destroy the Angel City Fortress.
Commander Haina is under a lot of pressure.
Charlotte smiled and said, "Now, all we can do is trust her."
beep beep beep
A window popped up on Zhao Chen's communication channel.
On the other side was Lilith, the secretary who remained in the Xiaolong system.
"Latest emergency news."
In the Judgment Angel Galaxy, the undead army has launched its attack!
