On the first day of the new year, which became known as the Age-of-Noah for various reasons, the Imperial Army (Note 1), which had reached the attack distance of the Earth Circle under the gaze of the stunned and frightened inhabitants of the Earth Circle, formed a formation while silently rejecting the Federation Army's successive demands for negotiations. The central front of the Imperial Army, which had been advancing in a straight line, gradually shrank backwards, forming a collapsed L-shaped battle formation. Based on extremely limited information, the commander-in-chief of the Federal Space Force, Admiral Rebil, judged that the Imperial Army was attempting to carry out a pincer attack by observing a large number of MS drop ships on both wings of the Imperial Army, and did not change the configuration of the elite MS units equipped with GN weapons to concentrate in the four flank theaters of BCDE.

However, at 11 a.m. GMT on January 1, the Imperial Army, which had been silent, suddenly began to make some moves, leading by the attack of nearly 1,900 Frostgiant-class artillery ships specializing in shelling, and the Imperial Army launched a saturation artillery bombardment of the Union Front with cross-artillery fire at a distance that the Federation Army considered [impossible to carry out effective shelling]. At the same time, the arsenal fleet, concentrated on the wings and disguised as MS delivery ships, also fired a salvo of nuclear-powered missiles carried by the fleet.

Admiral Reybir gave the Federal Fleet an evasive order to the Federal Fleet just before the Imperial Army launched the offensive, and ordered the Federal Fleet to launch the Particle Disturbance Curtain just before the Imperial Fleet's artillery bombardment arrived. However, the rain of missiles that was expected to hit both sides of the Federal Front turned around and hit the A theater in the center of the Federal Front.

Some of the Imperial MS troops in the center of the pincer attack formation began to break through to the central A theater of the Federal Army's defense line, but they were strangely maintaining a distance from the Federal forces and conducting a medium-range MS artillery battle, because of the presence of superior armor and high-speed particle weapons, the Imperial MS troops put the Federal Army troops in a bitter battle.

At this time, Admiral Rebil judged that the focus of the Imperial Army's offensive was still in the A theater in the center of the Federal Army's front, and that the two flanks were only part of the virtual and the real, so he ordered the MS troops to concentrate in the center of the battle line in a state of releasing camouflage and interference...

[Isn't the other party trying to trick us into pooling our combat power and then annihilating it with one point? Admiral Rebil's adjutant asked.

But according to the memories of the surviving personnel at the time, General Reybier only made a helpless wry smile and replied [Science is the most accurate guess, and tactics are sometimes just the luckiest gamble, I think the other party has the same idea as you, so it is not necessary to wait for the two wings to be the most dangerous place].

And just after Admiral Rebier finished speaking, the main artillery fleet of the Empire had just completed three overloaded shellings, melted the barrels, and began to replace the barrels. The artillery fire thinned out in an instant, leaving only the mobile units of the two armies in the central A theater exchanging artillery fire, and the battlefield fell into a kind of [tranquility] that made the officers and men of the Federation Army feel frightened and weird.

In the midst of this [tranquility], the equatorial ring of the huge artificial astral fortress that terrified the Federation Army and even the entire Earth Circle began to move. In the optical images that the Federation Army can observe, the equatorial ring, which has already begun to rotate with the entire star fortress, begins to stop as if the rotating track is stuck in something, and begins to perform irregular movements. Then, the equatorial ring, which had been moving like a cipher roller in the old days, came to a halt.

Something had been turned around---- General Rebir, who was paying attention to the battle situation, couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

Soon, the equatorial ring of the star fortress began to open to both sides, making the entire star fortress look like an apple suddenly peeled in a ring from the middle, and after the skin fell off, it revealed five black holes in a horizontal line, each with a huge hole nearly four kilometers in diameter.

Such a terrifying sight was transmitted at the speed of light to the Federation Army's on-demand fleet, and to the Luna 2 fortress, which was also like the Imperial fortress--- standing above the battle line--- so the decision was made in an instant.

At the same time, in the universe about 38,000 kilometers away from the E area of the flank of the Federal Army, on the galloping New Zeon Army battleship Aeneas, Guo Zhouyi raised his head violently---- a certain rhythm was coming from afar, shocking him, Guo Zhouyi closed his eyes, focused his mind on the void, and the new human who felt some kind of violent energy fetal movement opened his eyes in an instant:

"The stars and God..."

In the Empire's front-line command center, Gülen is fully synchronized with the central control system known as Alice. Gast looked at the screen with an incomparably Odin face, and gave the order in a voice that was truly stripped of emotional interference from technical means:

"Start the final countdown."

"Inside the resonant catheter array, confirm the end of the electron flow bombardment, confirm the formation of the quantum fiber layer, and confirm the excitation medium."

"Laser excitation medium, distribution status confirmed, please confirm the barrel"

"The laser resonance vibration was observed in the gun body, and the circulation quota of the cooling system was increasing."

"The angular velocity of rotation is stable, and the critical output is immediately reached."

"1st to 190th output cores, everything works fine"

With the orders of the Supreme Military Commander of the Empire and the continuous voices of the controllers, the muzzles of the five huge cannons began to emit a strong light, and the countless light resonance tubes laid in them resonated, making the intensity of the brilliance gradually rise; The solar energy collected by the 192-base giant Tokmak reactor and interstellar voyages poured out of the 192 output cores, and the energy equivalent to the electricity consumption of the entire Plant for three years pushed the gas suppression field to its limit.

"The suppression force field is lifted, and it is fired."

A bright light that burned out fate illuminated the entire Celestial Domain in an instant.

At the moment when the suppression force field of the excitation gas inside the gun body was contacted, five scorching lasers erupted from the muzzle of the gun, spanning more than 300,000 kilometers of space, roaring towards the target, and the thickness of the intermittent optical axis had changed from nearly 4 kilometers to about 100 kilometers when it reached the target, and the five 100-kilometer lasers fanned towards the five theaters of the Federal Army like a palm.

The first life to be swallowed up by these tsunamis of light was the two Plant's Advance Observation Ships located above the battle line, above the Federation Army's Theater B.

"That's... Diego was the leader of this miniature vanguard. Eelsman only had time to sigh and curse the military order that ordered them not to retreat before he was swallowed up.

The green hull of the ship was shattered like leaves bombarded by a waterfall, and Diego, who was thrown out of the captain's seat, was burned to the point that his bones did not even exist before his body flew into the ceiling, only to turn into cosmic dust and scatter, and the entire battleship was detonated and evapotranspirated almost instantly, and the three explosive lights flashed in the tsunami of light, and then disappeared immediately.

The tsunami then crashed directly into the Federation's front, scouring the Federation warships in the area of coverage into atomic-level cosmic dust. Lucky enough to avoid the laser coverage, Reybir sat on his inconspicuous flagship disguised, a little sluggish, even in a daze, looking at the screen covered in light, noise, and garbled characters. And just as he was in a daze, the Colonial Laser Cannon, which had been integrated by the Federation Army on the Luna-2, was also fired three seconds late.

The pillar of light that spread into a width of more than two hundred kilometers crossed the space where the tsunami of light had just surged and smashed into the Imperial Star Fortress.

The things covering the screen have completely become noisy and garbled characters, all the screens on Rebier's flagship are in a mess, the huge energy rush has brought electromagnetic wave obstacles--- facing such a screen without information, Rebier's flagship "Rum" is extremely silent, no one is talking, everyone is looking up at the screen in the noise of electricity.

No one thought about how many station mates they had just lost, no one thought about whether the battle line could still be maintained, no one cheered that their super weapon had hit the target, everyone just looked at the screen dementedly, and it took nearly a minute to accept the reality in front of them.

And then there was a scream:

"What the fuck is that..."

The fog of the vaporized wreckage dissipated, and on the restored screen, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a stunned scene--- in a celestial domain where many ship wrecks were floating, but there was a colorful "big ball" that seemed to have been splashed with paint by a crazy impressionist painter, and the color that made people feel absurd distorted a few times, and then dissipated at once, revealing the astral fortress inside.

"It's impossible to !!" The correspondent's voice sounded like a scream.

"Those battleships, how did they get there... In a tremor that brought him fear, Rybir spat out the words bitterly.

"Photochromatics-Field, lifted, the sea of nanobot fog is completely wiped out, and the fortress fleet that is responsible for the dispersal task loses 80%." Alice to Goulen. Gast Report.

"The problem that nanobots can't multiply themselves in space still needs to be solved, and next time there will be no such fortress fleet manufacturing field that acts as factories, but they have been exposed, annihilate them."

The Imperial flagship immediately fired three signal flares, and the fleet that had been ordered began to move, so the inexplicable warships that were curious about what it was took advantage of the chaos of the Federation to set up a formation like a satellite dish standing up, and pointed the tips of their droplet-like hulls to the focal point --- the Luna 2 fortress of the Federation Army.

As the small tokmak reactor, which powers the main guns of the Imperial Fortress, began to operate in unison, the 900 laser emitters mounted on the 900 warships instantly condensed the amount equivalent to the instantaneous energy output of 800,000 large nuclear power plants and illuminated them in the form of X-Ray lasers in a circle with a diameter of about 10 kilometers.

97 minutes into the start of the battle, at 12:37PM on January 1 of the Noah's Era, after the Empire and the Federation irradiated each other with strategic laser weapons, the Imperial Special Laser Bombardment Ship bombarded the Luna 2 fortress. The high-energy laser pierced through the thick rock cladding and armor plates of Luna 2, penetrating the innermost space of Luna 2 and shining on the nuclear bomb stored inside Luna 2.

The sun-like light rushed out from inside Luna 2, and the fusion reaction that was enough to tear the Empire's astral fortress into pieces exploded inside the fortress, turning the entire fortress into wreckage and dust along with the 500,000 Federation soldiers stationed in and around it.

The Empire's MS Central Cluster activated its own nucleon-ramjet-propelled propulsion skateboards and began to attack the Federal Army line in an avalanche-like manner towards the Federal Army's defense, which had been pierced by five laser diagonal angles.
