Chapter 79 Interstellar War

A few days ago, the fleet received the news from the parliament.

The military strength of the unknown force has been found out, and it has two "Cobra" destroyers and a "Firestorm" escort ship.

When he heard the news, Leo was happy for a while.

Just three warships, even if the tonnage of the two sides is far different.

But Leo believes that the Steadfast-class frigate will definitely defeat the enemy's seemingly primitive giant ships.

"About to leave the jump space, countdown: 5, 4, 3, 1..."

At that moment, Leo only felt a flash in front of his eyes.

The blue jump space disappeared suddenly.

Replaced by the familiar starry sky.

Cold, dead, and dark starry sky...

Leo reacted quickly, and he quickly ordered: "All ships open the scanning array to detect the enemy fleet, quickly!"

Outside, in the dark universe.

The fleet that left the jump space sailed in formation.

Each warship's tail spurted out a shining blue tail flame, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark starry sky.

"Multiple high-energy fluctuations detected, coordinates: 1234.3187, warning, high-energy plasma radiation signal detected!"

At the same time, in the S-01888 star system, on the orbit of Star No. 1.

As soon as the "UNSC" fleet appeared, it was detected by the Imperial fleet docked in the planet's orbit.

The fleet, which was originally stationary in the planet's orbit, lit up the engines at the tail of each ship and spurted out hundreds of meters of white tail flames.

A fleet consisting of a "Firestorm-class" escort ship and two "Cobra" destroyers flew to the depths of the starry sky outside the planet's gravity well.

Just as the fleet was about to leave the planet's gravity well, suddenly, something strange happened.

In the depths of the starry sky in front of the fleet, a blue light suddenly appeared, and instantly turned into a huge blue vortex.

Warships about 500 meters long flew out of the vortex and rushed directly towards the fleet.

There are so many of them that at first glance, the blue flames shining at their tails spread across a large area of ​​the starry sky.

Appeared, appeared...

In the bridge of the No. 1 ship of the "UNSC" fleet.

Leo saw a huge earth-yellow planet appear in the starry sky outside.

And in the picture captured by the optical equipment, Leo saw a fleet of three warships.

The two sides were very close, and Alansha had perfect control over the distance of short-range jumps.

With a wave of his hand, Leo shouted: "All ships attack, launch all missiles, each ship attacks the designated target, open fire!"

With Leo's order, the fleet opened fire in the starry sky outside.

There was a flash of fire, and anti-ship missiles were launched from the launch devices of each ship, heading straight for the enemy fleet.

Among the densely packed missiles, some missiles were particularly large.

That was the M4093 "Hyperion" nuclear missile.

A Steadfast-class frigate was equipped with three M4093 Hyperion missile launch systems.

In the starry sky, the shining missile tail flames turned into a meteor shower and attacked the Imperial Fleet head-on.

The distance between the two sides was very small, less than a few hundred kilometers.

Such a distance was like two big men standing chest to chest, and they could punch each other with their hands.

The Imperial Fleet opened fire...

The bows of the two "Cobra" destroyers flashed with bursts of fire.

One after another, giant anti-ship torpedoes shot out and flew towards the enemy fleet deep in the starry sky.

The main gun of the "Firestorm-class" escort ship, the Light Lance, emitted a dazzling white glow.

The next moment, a 30-meter-diameter white high-energy ray beam shot out from the muzzle under the bow.

The sustainable high-energy ray beam instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of kilometers and shone on a Steadfast-class frigate.

A layer of blue shield flashed on the surface of the Steadfast-class frigate hit by the Light Lance.

It lasted only a few tenths of a second before it shattered with a bang, and the thick light spear continued to hit the hull.

"Boom..."

The huge power of the light spear directly penetrated the hull of the Steadfast-class frigate.

In the dazzling explosion, the Steadfast-class frigate exploded.

The entire hull was torn apart layer by layer, and finally exploded, turning into a dazzling fireball.

Destroyed a Steadfast-class frigate with one blow?

The power of the light spear scared Leo.

He saw a huge white beam of light passing through the starry sky and crashed into a Steadfast-class frigate.

Leo thought that with the powerful shield of the Steadfast-class frigate, it could at least block a few light spear attacks.

Unexpectedly, it was destroyed after being irradiated by the light spear for less than a second.

"Warning, large missiles are coming, point defense system is activated, preparing to intercept..."

Just as the anti-ship torpedoes of the Imperial Fleet were about to rush into the enemy fleet.

The missile rain launched by the "UNSC" fleet reached the Imperial fleet first.

In the dark universe, a meteor shower swept across the starry sky and crashed into the Imperial fleet.

"Boom!"

The high-speed missile was intercepted by the void shield, and a group of fireballs burst out.

Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the void shield.

"Boom..."

In the shining fire, on the void shield, a group of larger light balls rose up.

Its power was so great that the diameter of the flame particles of the bursting light balls spread outward reached hundreds of meters.

That was the power of the explosion of the "Hyperion" nuclear missile.

The missiles launched by the UNSC fleet were too small to be intercepted, making the Imperial fleet's close defense system basically useless.

Under rounds of nuclear missile attacks, the void shields of the three warships rippled.

It seemed that they would be broken at any time, but they held on.

"How could it be..."

Seeing that a wave of attacks did not even break the shield of the opponent's warship, Leo panicked.

He never expected that the strength of the opponent's warship would be so high.

"Large missiles are coming, intercepting..."

Outside, facing twenty incoming anti-ship torpedoes.

Fire dragons burst out from the ships of the "UNSC" fleet.

The point defense system opened fire, and the 50mm defense machine guns spewed out flames.

The dense barrage turned into a fiery red meteor shower and attacked the depths of the starry sky.

"Boom..."

In the starry sky in front of the fleet, huge fireballs shone.

Those were anti-ship torpedoes hit by the point defense system.

But not all anti-ship torpedoes were intercepted.

"Boom..."

Multiple anti-ship torpedoes broke through the firepower network and hit their respective targets.

Several Steadfast-class ships suddenly burst into shining fireballs.

Those were 20-meter-caliber anti-ship torpedoes with great power.

A Steadfast-class frigate was hit by two shots in succession, one of which broke the shield and the second one directly evaporated.

The entire warship was engulfed in flames, and the hull was torn apart layer by layer.

Finally, it shone into a larger fireball.

Another Steadfast-class frigate was destroyed...

Three warships were lost in such a short time, and the enemy's warships didn't even have their shields broken.

Leo's face changed, and he realized that he was careless and too confident.

"Alansha, notify all ships to concentrate firepower to attack the enemy's flagship, quickly!"

He was careless, he originally thought that the concentrated firepower of five warships was enough to destroy one of the enemy's warships.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.
