Dozens of minutes later, the fleet of the Messenger of the Holy Presence arrived at the gravity well of Lafayette.

Although the Vulcans had already received the news by this time and were fully prepared for battle, the gravity well was indeed surprisingly quiet.

As the defenders, the Vulcans, although they occupy a geographical advantage, but the initiative is in the hands of the attacker after all, the Vulcans are suddenly attacked, and they want to mobilize a fleet to defend, which takes time.

Before the main fleet arrives at Lafayette, what the Vulcans can do is to rely on orbital defenses and the interstellar base hidden on the back of the planet to resist the attack of the Holy Messenger, they don't need to kill the enemy, as long as the planet is not captured, that's fine.

Therefore, at this time, the few small fleets of the Vulcans on Lafayette were also hidden on the back of the planet with the interstellar base, instead of taking the initiative to fight to the death with the huge fleet of the Holy Presence Emissary!

"It's so quiet...... Helen didn't immediately order an attack after the fleet entered the Lafayette gravity well.

"Maybe they've evacuated because they've found outnumbered?" Some captains speculated.

"Impossible! The Vulcans had strict military law, and it was a capital crime to flee without firing a single shot, and no commander dared to do that! Helen shook her head.

"Could it be that there is really an ambush here?" Helen frowned, she remembered the interstellar base that Qin Hao had mentioned before.

"If there really is an interstellar base here, it won't be easy......" Helen's brow furrowed.

"Commander, shall we attack now?" A second-class commander asked.

"Attack!" Helen made up her mind that while it was possible that there was a hidden starbase, she had no choice now.

Now that the Advent has officially declared war on the Vulcans, the wheels of war have turned, and no one can easily stop it until the winner is decided, and now if Helen orders the evacuation of Lafayette, then the fleet of the Vulcans will have to find a new target, and when they delay like this, the Vulcan reinforcements will also arrive at the front.

In that case, the two sides are likely to fall into a war of attrition, and the entire sector will become a huge meat grinder, where both the Holy Presence Messenger and the Vulcans will pay a heavy price, and when the war is over, it will no longer matter whether they win or lose, because at that time, whether they win or lose, they will be greatly damaged and become prey in the eyes of other higher civilizations.

And the two sides have been restrained before, just to avoid this from happening, and the reason why the high priest dared to start this war was because she wanted to annihilate the other party's main fleet before the Vulcans reacted, and it was best to destroy a few of their capital ships.

In this way, there will be a clear gap in the strength of the two sides, and the Holy Coming Messenger can take this opportunity to force the Vulcan people to cede land and pay reparations, as for the invasion of the Vulcan hinterland and the complete elimination of the Vulcans, no one has thought about it, whether it is the high priest or the generals below.

After all, the Vulcans are also a high-level civilization with several capital ships, even if they annihilate two or three of their capital ships, it cannot completely eliminate its combat effectiveness, and once the Holy Presence Messenger enters the hinterland of the Vulcans, making the Vulcans feel the danger of extinction, at that time, the Vulcans will definitely choose the ending of the fish and the net, when the time comes, one or several capital ships sneak into the territory of the Holy Presence Messenger to massacre, or even destroy the planet, even if the Holy Presence Messenger wins the war, it will also suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, after gaining the advantage, take it when you see it, and don't push the other party to a dead end, this is the conventional way to end the war between higher civilizations.

Adhering to this strategic thinking, then Helen's primary purpose in this battle is to break through the opponent's defense line, cut the opponent's battlefield, and make her own strength advantage in the local battlefield, especially the superiority in the number of capital ships, so as to find an opportunity to besiege and kill the opponent's capital ships, and once the Holy Presence Messenger fleet retreats now, when the Vulcan reinforcement fleet arrives, then three capital ships against three capital ships, then everyone can only fight a war of attrition.

So now, Helen has no other choice, even if there may be a hidden interstellar base here, she can only choose to attack, she only wants the other party's star base to be smaller, so that she can destroy the opponent's main fleet before it arrives!

In that case, when the main fleet of the Vulcans arrives, the fleet of the Holy Messenger can face it calmly, whether it is to cooperate with the capital ship sitting in the rear to attack, divide the opponent's battlefield with the advantage of three capital ships, or take the initiative to retreat and look for an opportunity to besiege again, the initiative is in Helen's hands.

But if she is dragged down by the interstellar base here, then things will be more troublesome, and when the opponent's main fleet arrives, it will form a trap on her fleet, and then the battle will inevitably be very hard.

Under Helen's orders, the fleet of the Holy Presence began to approach Lafayette, but they did not enter the low-earth orbit of Lafayette, but formed a formation at a distance of about 400,000 kilometers from the ground, preparing to attack the planet's air defense facilities and orbital defense facilities.

"Order the sky drone carrier to release unmanned bombers! Destroy enemy orbital defenses! Helen gave the order.

"Yes! Commander! "The captains of those sky drone carriers released their respective carrier-based drones one after another after receiving the order.

The sky-level drone carriers of the Holy Messenger are all small aircraft carriers, their size is not very large, and the size is similar to the auxiliary cruiser that Qin Hao sat on, and they are equipped with a powerful remote control system and radar system, which can support three drone squadrons at the same time.

And because the sky drone carrier is also loaded with a drone production line, although it can only send three flight squadrons to fight at the same time, once a drone is destroyed in battle, it can be produced immediately and quickly put into battle.

This time, there were a hundred Sky Drone carriers in the fleet of the Holy Arrival, so when Helen's order was given, more than three hundred flying squadrons flew out of the drone carriers, and they were like swarms, heading straight for the orbital defense facilities in the distance.

At the same time, the Kingfisher-class aircraft-carrying battlecruiser also turned on the energy enhancement force field, which after the force field was turned on, the cooldown time of the beam weapon of the unmanned bomber was reduced by 125%, which greatly improved the firepower output of these drones.
