Chapter 610: Preliminary Capture
The emphasis on surprise attacks is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and to launch a fierce offensive against the enemy with lightning speed.
After the Collectors destroyed all the Space Fortresses behind the Gate, and confirmed that none of them were radio-free, they temporarily stayed in place to repair.
One by one, the fleets of the new empire passed through the door and reached this end of the door.
The number of leaping creatures is small, and at the same time, there are not enough antimatter giants, strong pressure giants and other giant creatures to ensure the logistics supply chain of the war, once dragged into a protracted war by the enemy, it will fall into an extremely passive situation, especially antimatter, the difference between resource consumption and output is very huge.
As a result, the Gatherers are only responsible for the role of 'spearheads' when strategizing, and the main force is still the fleet of the new Empire.
"The First Fleet is ready!"
The new Imperial fleet that came out of the gate reported to the gatherers after the formation was put in order.
In this strategy, the Gatherer's rank is above all fleets of the New Empire, and they have the right to command the fleets of the New Empire to fight with them.
"You are responsible for guarding the door, at all costs."
"Roger!"
The Gate is an extremely important strategic point, responsible for connecting the two places, and if the Gate is recaptured by the enemy, it will be equivalent to cutting off the back road to the Leap Creature Cluster, not to mention anything like supply logistics.
After giving the order to the First Fleet of the New Empire, one of the individuals in the Leaping Biological Cluster released extremely high-energy radar pulses, and the pulse beams swept the entire star system at the speed of light, and soon learned the general information of the major stars in the entire star system.
This is a binary star system, one blue dwarf, one red dwarf, three Earth-like solid planets, two gas giants, and a total of eight moons orbiting the planets.
On the periphery of the star system, there are a total of three gates, one of which is the one that the gatherers pass through, and the other two are unknown, but referring to the gate that the gatherers are currently passing through, the other two gates should also be the garrison of the Holy Worm State.
These two gates have been designated as the next target of the Leaping Creature Cluster, and so far, the enemy's actual cross-star ability has only been the cross-gate ability, although there are spatial teleportation that the collectors do not understand, but this displacement method, the fleet of the Holy Worm State has not expressed it on the transstar system, so the collectors temporarily consider this technology to be unattainable.
Determining the number of space fortresses in a gate's near-orbit, the antimatter propulsion was activated, encased in a dazzling gamma ray, and the gatherers accelerated to a high speed, launching another raid while the garrison of the Holy Vorm State was unaware of everything.
The results of the battle are very significant, with mental arithmetic or unintentional, the antimatter shield in front of the gatherers annihilated the gamma beam released, and wiped out the gate that was regarded as the target of capture, and all the space fortresses in the near orbit, not to mention the people inside, even the bacteria did not exist, and it was very clean.
The Gatherers then moved their attack to another gate and launched another round of attacks.
At this time, the space fortress that was targeted had clearly learned of the existence of the attackers of the gatherers, the acceleration of the annihilation of matter by leaping creatures, and the gamma rays released when launching an attack, these could not be hidden, and after solving the space fortress near the second gate, the remaining space fortress in the near orbit of the third gate had basically completed the preparation for entering the combat state.
These space fortresses released a large number of combat bodies, densely distributed near the near orbit, and from a distance, it seemed like a dark cloud covering all the space fortresses and doors.
They seem to be on the lookout for a desperate battle against the door.
And then...... And they all died.
Each space fortress was hit by a black hole bomb, but since the mass of the fortress itself was not enough to last a black hole for long, the singularity soon exploded.
The first time was a gamma-ray burst released by the annihilation of a large amount of antimatter when the black hole bomb exploded, and the second time was a singularity explosion with half the mass of a space fortress and an ultra-small black hole.
The intensity of the battle at the third gate was such that even the new Imperial First Fleet, which was on the other side of the star system, could observe the light released by the battle with the naked eye.
"How's the consumption?"
"There are stocks of sub-light shells, but there is basically not much antimatter left."
Originally, the Leap Creature Cluster consumed a lot of antimatter when it sailed across stars, and then it frequently accelerated and slowed down in battle without antimatter replenishment, all of which required the consumption of antimatter.
"Got it, pause the offensive tempo and turn it into a defensive operation."
The Cluster Leader then gave orders to the fleet of the New Empire, asking them to send a fleet to take over the remaining two gates.
At this point, the Gatherers' initial offensive strategy came to an end.
There are also many man-made structures within the star system, including a habitable planet, apparently a planet under the Holy Worm State.
There is no doubt that there is a certain amount of armed force in these places, but this is not a problem, because the entire star system can be said to be in a closed state, and the turtle in the urn cannot make any waves.
The Fourth Fleet of the new Empire has been ordered by the Gatherers to launch an attack on the facilities of the Holy Worm State within the star system.
These facilities under the jurisdiction of the Holy Vorm State also unleashed some warbodies, but these warbodies did not seem to be able to teleport too far at once, flashing in an attempt to get close to the attacker's New Imperial Fourth Fleet.
However, the speed of light is always the upper limit of speed, and it is true that teleportation can exceed the speed of light, but this does not mean that the manipulator inside can also react faster than the speed of light.
Under the attack of gamma-ray combined with autonomous ships, the few combat bodies were all killed on the space battlefield.
The flagship bridge of the First Fleet
The adjutant next to the commander of the fleet was preoccupied, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind to ask the commander of the First Fleet.
"Commander, I'm a little worried, although there is no evidence yet, but the Holy Worm State does have space teleportation technology, just snatching and guarding the door, can it really contain the follow-up counterattack of the Sacred Worm Nation?"
The commander glanced at him very calmly, and his gaze returned to the operational projection in the star system, paying attention to the situation on the battlefield with current affairs.
"This is just a tentative attack, and it won't be a problem if we fail, in order to learn more about the technology that the Holy Worm State has in its possession."
"In the war of interstellar civilizations, we are just pawns, and so are those gatherers."
