207 Otto Empire
85 years in the federal calendar.
1400 light-years from Earth, the Otto Empire.
The Otto Empire was one of the two subordinate powers of the Babawi Empire on the secondary arm of Orion's arm, the other being of course the Orr Republic on the edge of the Shanhai Pass.
Being able to become the subordinate eleven of the Babawi Empire proves that it has a lot of strength, and among the third-level civilizations of Orion's arm, the Otto Empire, like the Orr Republic, can be ranked among the top ten.
However, at this moment, the emperor of the Otto Empire, Murat, no longer has the majesty of the past, and instead has a look of horror.
Today is supposed to be the celebration of the 10,000th anniversary of the founding of the Otto Empire, and for this reason, the empire has even brought back a large number of elite troops from all over its territory more than 20 years ago to prepare for the largest military parade in the history of the capital area.
At this moment, seventy percent of the main warships of the empire gathered here, and the number reached a full 8 million, including 600,000 Babawi warships, and the scene was spectacular!
However, in the middle of the parade, the capital area of the Otto Empire welcomed an uninvited guest.
It was a huge fleet that was not much smaller than itself, and visually, this fleet was more powerful than the 8 million warships on parade.
After all, except for the 600,000 Babawi warships, the other warships of the Otto Empire are composed of multiple types of ships, most of which are frigates, destroyers, cruisers and other small and medium-sized ships.
On the other hand, this uninvited huge fleet, whose warships turned out to be unified battleships, how could this make Murat not surprised, in his impression, it seems that the fleet composed of a single ship type like this seems to be only the Babawi Empire.
Coupled with the fact that this huge fleet appeared in exactly the same way as the Babavi Empire's jump, Murat had a very bad premonition.
As if to confirm Murat's premonition, the sudden fleet began to pour its ferocious firepower on the various regiments in the parade.
Speaking of which, the military literacy of the fleet of the Otto Empire is still good.
Although it was attacked suddenly, it did not act panicked, but quickly changed its formation, formed an attack array, and gradually began to counterattack.
But when the wave of attacks passed, everyone was stunned, because the battleships on the opposite side all had energy shields, and after a wave of covering shots, they were unable to cause any damage.
"Quick, immediately change to a concentrated fire attack, form a fireteam for every 30 warships, and set fire to one battleship of the other party!"
As the Grand Commander of the Otto Empire's Starfleet, Matvey reacted quite quickly, immediately adjusted his attack strategy, and gave orders to the legions!
Standing beside him was Emperor Murat, who was accompanying Murat when the mutation occurred.
"Matvey, do you know the identity of the other party?"
"Your Majesty, the database is comparing data, and I believe there will be results soon!"
Matvey's face was quite unsightly, after all, as a commander of a third-level civilization, in the face of nearly 7 million fourth-level civilization warships, no one's face could look at it.
"The report, the data comparison has been completed, and more than eighty percent of its warships are the warships of the Io Federation, but it is recorded in the database that this Io Federation should be a civilization that has just been promoted to the middle of the third level, as for the remaining hundreds of thousands of warships, there are no search results in the database, it may be its new warship."
Mavit's lieutenant came to Murat and Matvey and reported.
At this moment, Murat and Matvey were stunned.
You even told me this is a third-level civilization? And it's just a civilization in the middle of the third level?
When I'm blind?
Just when the two were stunned, the situation on the battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Otto Empire.
On average, the Otto Empire lost tens of thousands of warships in each wave of bombardment, while the opponent's losses were only a few dozen warships.
It didn't take long for Matvey to realise that the reason for such a big difference in battle damage was because of the distance.
At present, the distance between the two sides is about 3 million kilometers, and at this distance, the army led by Liang Xingchen can use range coverage shooting, and the mission accuracy rate is maintained within an acceptable range.
Matvey, on the other hand, had to divide the battleships into fireteams of 30 ships in groups in order to target the energy shield of the fourth-tier civilization warships, so as to carry out concentrated fire attacks.
Although this can indeed bring damage to the opposing battleship, after all, the main guns of 30 battleships are fired, and once they hit, even if they have energy shields, they can't withstand it.
But the problem is that the distance between the two sides is now 3 million kilometers, and the hit rate of concentrated fire attacks is simply so low that people are speechless.
"Order all the legions, stick it on me, shorten the distance!"
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, you should contact the Babawi Empire!"
After giving the order, Matvey turned to Murat and said.
"yes, yes, how did I forget that!"
As she spoke, Murat pulled out a communication device from her body and pressed it.
Soon, the communication was connected, and Barbaria's figure appeared on the bridge.
"Your Majesty Barbaria!"
Murat bowed his head respectfully.
"Murat, what's the matter with your emergency communication to contact me?"
"Your Majesty Barbaria! The Otto Empire is under massive attack, and we are already going to be overwhelmed! ”
Listening to Murat's words, Barbaria was also shocked, the Otto Empire is definitely a hegemon in the second arm, it's not bad if he doesn't bully other civilizations on the side, how can he...
"Murat, which civilization attacked you?"
"Your Majesty Barbaria, it is a civilization called the Io Federation, and our database shows that the other party is a third-level civilization! Now it's all in our capital area! ”
"Wait, I know the Io Federation, but they don't have the ability to hit your capital area, and the Io Federation should be nearly 2,000 light years away from you, right?"
Barbaria is a little confused, he still remembers the Io Federation quite deeply, after all, he reported to Babaville just a few years ago.
But this Io Federation is only a civilization that has just reached the middle of the third level, and the most important thing is that people are nearly 2,000 light years away from you.
What is the concept of 2000 light years, that is, it will take at least nearly a thousand years for people to reach you through the way of the stars!
"Lord Barbaria, all of the opponent's nearly 7 million warships have energy shields, and their firepower is also quite fierce, not at all like a third-level civilization!"
As Murat spoke, he had the image of the battle line taken over and projected it in front of Barbaria.
I saw that the two huge fleets were bombarding each other at the moment, the difference was that one side had a shield, and there was not much loss after each bombardment, while the vast majority of the warships on the other side did not have energy shields, and every wave of attacks had to lose tens of thousands of warships.
If this situation continues, in less than two hours, the side without the shield will be completely annihilated.
Seeing this picture, even Barbarea was shocked.
"You're telling me this is the Io Federation?"
