Chapter 132: Fire a Star Destroyer Cannon at the Blue Planet’i

“Attack!”
At Seth’s command, the six accompanying fleets launched a furious attack towards the Hellfire Point, guns blazing.
Seth felt some dissatisfaction deep within him. Such a monumental task of destroying Earth, and it wasn’t assigned to him, but to Kether, who was always chummy with Moro.
Destroying Earth was a significant feat!
Miro, by his side, also expressed his discontent, grumbling, “Big brother is biased, handing this task to Kether instead of me…”
The battle near the Hellfire Line raged on incessantly for an entire day.
The spaceship belonging to Zhao Yu faced massive destruction, forcing Li Zongheng to request reinforcements from other lines of defense. Simultaneously, he sent an application to the lunar base.
“Commander, Li Zongheng reports a large-scale enemy attack on Hellfire Point, likely attempting to breach it once again…”
“He requests reinforcement from other military bases…”
The entire first defensive line consisted of 12 military bases, each with nearly twenty thousand warships on average.
The Fifth Military Base, where Li Zongheng was stationed, had nearly forty thousand warships, counting the additional twenty thousand that were there for support, besides the regular twenty thousand.
However, within a day, over twenty thousand warships were destroyed.
“The enemy’s firepower is immense. They’ve been playing it cool until now, and it seems they’re planning a large-scale attack!”
Uncle Da’s face hardened. He hadn’t expected the enemy to organize a counterattack so soon.
Zhao Yu, on the other hand, looked excited. He asked, “How many of our latest generation of spaceships, equipped with a particle black hole thruster, have been built?”
“Thirty thousand escort ships, twenty thousand shuttle ships…”
“Great! All ships, take off and intercept them at a speed of 500 Mach…”
The main reason the enemy dared to attack on such a large scale was because they believed that Zhao Yu’s side had limited spaceship speed due to their late Stage-1 civilization status.
“I hope they’ll send more ships. That way, we can catch them all at once!” Although their spaceships still used third-generation nuclear fusion for their energy systems, the propulsion was not too far behind that of the enemy. According to the simulation, fifty thousand warships should be more than enough to intercept the enemy’s hundred warships.
“Boom -“”Boom -“”Boom
One after another, warships near the Hellfire Line were destroyed.
Just as Li Zongheng was about to organize a new fleet of spaceships for reinforcement, he suddenly received a message from Zhao Yu.
“Do not use the latest model spaceships. Keep those yet to be revealed at the Fifth Base. We can summon some ships from other bases…”
“Also, let the enemy fleet enter without resistance…”
“This time, 1 want to play a game of trapping the enemy and striking hard!”
Li Zongheng was overjoyed.
He had known about the creation of spaceships with particle black hole thrusters at the lunar base for a while, and a fleet was ready at the Fifth Base as well.
But Zhao Yu had never let him reveal this. Now, it seemed like Zhao was planning to use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
With this thought, Li quickly held off the ready-to-launch spaceships, and sent orders to the nearest military bases to each send five thousand warships for reinforcement. They should not rush, and travel at the maximum speed provided by the third-generation nuclear fusion power.
Given the distance between their military bases, reinforcements would not arrive in time, but the gesture was necessary. It could also increase the enemy’s sense of urgency, prompting them to break through without much thought.
As expected, not long after, Li Zongheng noticed that the enemy’s attack had doubled again. Many warships on the front line were destroyed, and the number of damaged ships was approaching thirty thousand.
Another hour passed, and when the number of spaceships near the Hellfire Line drastically reduced to a thousand, the enemy’s Tenth Fleet finally charged. Leading the way was a large shield warship. It was purely a defensive vessel, equipped only with an energy shield.
Combined with the energy conversion efficiency of a particle black hole, its defensive power greatly surpassed that of laser systems.
After all, laser defense systems primarily intercepted attacks and released energy with losses. This energy shield, however, only consumed energy when it was attacked.
In just half an hour, the shield ship endured millions of strikes, but its energy shield was only half depleted.
By this time, the Tenth Fleet had reached the Hellfire Point.
“Attack!”
Kether shouted.
Following this, other attack warships emerged from behind the shield ship, firing an array of high-power, high-impact weapons.
The attacks from Zhao Yu’s side caused only ripples on the enemy shields.
However, the enemy’s attacks could destroy Zhao Yu’s ships in one blow.
The offensive and defensive capabilities of the two sides were not on the same level.
In just a flash, hundreds of warships were destroyed.
“Captain, there are too many ships to destroy. We need to break through as soon as possible. We’ve detected that nearly thirty thousand ships from nearby military bases are on the way. Once they arrive, we won’t be able to escape if we’re held up…”
Their warships were advanced but were just one generation ahead of the enemy. If they were to be surrounded by thirty thousand ships at close range, they would face certain death once their energy was exhausted.
“Alright, let’s break through!”
The Tenth Fleet only had nine ships, less than the usual ten in a fleet since their tenth shuttle ship had already been destroyed.
The nine ships ceased fire, weathered numerous attacks, and broke through the encirclement at a speed twenty times faster than the nearby base ships. “Haha, 1, Kether, have performed a great feat this time!!”
After leaving the Hellfire Point, Kether couldn’t stop laughing.
Once this line of defense was breached, there was basically no suspense. They just needed to evade the enemy ships blocking their way and reach the vicinity of the Earth.
“Captain, there are about fifty thousand enemy warships 30 million kilometers ahead…”
“What does the simulation say?!”
“With their ships traveling at a speed twenty times slower than ours, they can’t stop us!”
“Great!”
Kether laughed heartily, boasting confidently: “Send a message to Earth, tell them we’re coming to destroy them…”
“Haha!”
Everyone laughed.
These days, everyone had seen the attitude of Moro towards Earth.
Especially after their shuttle ship was blown up last time, and Earth’s sarcasm under the guise of concern had left them furious.
“Notify the battleship to fire a star-destroying cannon at Earth…”
“Yes…”
“Captain, according to our current position, our shot may not reach Earth and could be intercepted by enemy ships…”
“No problem, 1 don’t plan on destroying Earth with this cannon. 1 just want to let them know that we, the Glen people, are here.. These damned giants who only know how to spew rhetoric, will meet their end!”
