On June 15, 32442 in the federal calendar, the third group of expeditionary forces of the Gaoting people had entered the Cartier star field.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the number of this large fleet has increased from the original 180,000 warships to 210,000.

Some of them were damaged warships placed in the rear by the Gaoting people for maintenance, while the other part was rebuilt from captured new warships of the Federation.

——This shows that the people of Gaoting have formed a certain industrial capacity in the two major star fields of Cartier and Columbus.

Presumably, it will soon be possible to form a large-scale warship production in the territory of the Earth Federation. And in the future, the Gaoting Divine Kingdom only needs to transport their fighters with a steady stream of transport ships, which will greatly reduce their logistical pressure.

By 16 June, the atmosphere at the Yingzhou border was already tense. Originally, there were only sporadic exchanges of fire between the two sides, but in just two days, there were already four fleet battles of the scale of 3,000 ships.

The opposite side was constantly probing, launching fire reconnaissance to various parts of the Yingzhou defense line. And the Guangying Theater under the command of Zhang Xin was also unyielding, and he always tried his best to cut off the minions stretched out from the opposite side.

The effect is not bad, although their side has never been able to really inflict heavy damage on the opposite side, but with the help of semi-permanent fortifications scattered everywhere, they can basically maintain a casualty exchange ratio of 1 to 2.

Then, on June 17, Zhang Xin had already determined the main direction of attack on the opposite side, which was the Kassel system. There are relatively few large objects in this system, and many of the heavy guns produced by all powerful industries can only be placed on floating batteries. But the latter's ability to withstand blows cannot be compared with large planets.

Therefore, although there are 280 floating batteries piled up here in the Guangying Theater, its overall defense capability is still the weakest in the entire defense line.

However, this is only relative to other areas, and the two large military fortresses in the vicinity will appear on the battlefield at the beginning of the war by curvature navigation.

The five fortresses that Weizhong was responsible for building, despite their large size, were able to sail at a curvature of a thousand light-years with the help of the Pengbai power group in their bodies. As a result, each of them can cordon off space within a 1,000-light-year radius.

And because the border between Yingzhou and Cartier is relatively narrow, it is surrounded by impassable asteroid belts or stardust dense areas. Zhang Xin can evenly distribute these five fortresses in the border area of the two star fields, and no matter which direction the opposite side attacks from, he will face the defense of at least two fortresses.

Therefore, compared with other regions, the difference in defense strength here is only 100 percent to 100 percent and 2 percent, and the difference is only 0.2 percentage points.

At seven o'clock in the morning of June 18, Earth time, the Grand Fleet of the Gaoting people really tried to cross the route from the direction of the Kassel Galaxy, and then had to leave the curvature space near the Kassel Galaxy under the action of the super-large curvature jamming device on the Yingzhou side.

A huge fleet of 340,000 ships appeared fifteen astronomical units away from the Kassel IV system.

At this time, the 230,000 battleships on the Yingzhou side, two battleships, and Zhang Xin's new flagship 'Sun and Moon' battleship also completed the curvature shuttle in the following time and began to deploy in front of the Kassel 4 galaxy.

At the same time, all the floating batteries in this star field began to adjust, and the various fortress guns carried on board were pointed at the High Court fleet.

At nine o'clock sharp, when the High Court fleet entered eleven astronomical units from Planet Kassel IV. The two fortresses, as well as the battleship Sun and Moon, all seventy-six Sea of Divine Might' guns, and nine hundred and ninety-eight Demonstrator secondary guns, all began to fire in a salvo.

Crimson beams of light crossed the void and shot towards the battleship that was as dense as a swarm of locusts on the opposite side.

- Actually, the fleet of the Gaoting people is not too dense. The reason why it gives people the feeling of being row upon row and impermeable is just because of the distance, which is just a visual effect.

However, more than 1,000 main guns still caused great trauma to the other party. More than 300 warships were destroyed by this salvo.

After only fifteen seconds, the main and secondary guns began to fire a second time.

Such an exaggerated range and firepower density are obviously far beyond the expectations of the other party.

In particular, the main guns of the 'Sea of Divine Power', the 'Sun and Moon' battleship, are fine, but due to the limitations of the ship's size and power pack power, although these main guns are powerful, they can be illuminated at a distance of eleven astronomical units for a limited time.

However, the sixty gates of the 'Sea of Divine Might' on the two military fortresses of the 'Shenhai' and the 'Shentian' could continue to irradiate for at least a second after each salvo. And even if it is eleven astronomical units away, it has the majestic power to destroy the opponent's largest ship in 0.05 seconds!

And these sixty Divine Sea main guns, every horizontal and every skim in the void will cause huge damage to the opposite High Court fleet. A salvo is often the destruction of more than 200 warships.

- It is foreseeable that as the distance between the two sides closes, the deterrent and lethality of these main guns will only become more and more great.

This also forced the commander on the opposite side to further disperse the overall fleet formation in order to achieve the purpose of reducing casualties, on the one hand, to march with all his strength and quickly close the distance between the two sides.

And at this time, not only the internal atmosphere of the Divine Royal Court, the flagship of the High Court people, was depressed. At this time, the two spectators who were near the battlefield also gasped.

"Is this the so-called 'Sea of Divine Power'? ”

On an empty asteroid, Charlie Anjou, the 'King of the Divine Heart', stood on a protruding rock, looking at the scene ahead with a strange expression.

- Although I have known that God Mighty Gong for a long time, I have extraordinary faith in this weapon. But this power is inevitably too strong.

Such a range, such a destructive ability, has generally surpassed other types of fortress guns at least three times!

"The performance of those 'demonstrators' is also very good, the intensity of firepower, the rate of fire, and the utilization rate of energy, etc., have all been greatly improved, especially the former, which has increased by at least 20 percent! Is this the rune technology that the Weiyan Group has mastered at present? It is indeed a surprise. ”

Standing on Charlie Anjou's side was none other than the 'King of Zhaowu' Belisarius Claudius: "But now, in fact, I want to know how they managed to produce so many main fortress cannons in less than nine months. ”

In fact, the 'demonstrators' produced by the Weiyan Group are enough to be used as a first-class main gun in the current Bundeswehr, and they are the most advanced of the class.

However, in front of the two military fortresses of 'Shenhai' and 'Shentian', these demonstrators were reduced to the status of secondary main guns.

It can also be inferred from this that the nuclear fusion power units of these military fortresses must have also been greatly improved in terms of power. Even the most conservative estimate is at least thirty percent, otherwise, it will never be enough to afford such a large number of main fortress guns.
