Eight o'clock in the evening.

In the take-off areas of various bases, the spacecraft fleet, which was in full array, had not yet received an order from the commander of the fleet, General Liu Hong.

However, the situation above the earth has become more tense, from sporadic firefights to large-scale air battles.

As the engagement escalated, a number of small Maltese pentagon ships had entered the atmosphere to strangle with the Solar System's Interstellar United Fleet combat ships.

Both sides dispatched a large number of combat ships, striking each other without showing weakness, and the sound of explosions resounded in the sky.

Inside Beijing's Fifth Ring Road, the 150-story building of the Interstellar Alliance Headquarters Building of the Solar System is brightly lit, and the top of the pointed building is like a bright blue giant cone, piercing into the black night.

In the conference hall on the fifth floor at the bottom.

Heads of state and senior leaders are already online, and together with William Rams, the coalition's secretary general, selected by the United States, are following the situation above Earth through a holographic system connected to the command center of the interstellar United Fleet in the solar system.

Apparently all countries already knew that the Combined Fleet was about to launch a general attack on the Maltese Stranded Fleet tonight.

Opposite the Interstellar Alliance, the headquarters of the interstellar fleet of the solar system in the shape of twenty layers of lotus leaves is shining with mercury lights, and it looks like it has a crystal clear beauty.

The early warning command center of the headquarters was brightly lit, and countless screens on the command positions were flashing, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

All the staff are in place, and all kinds of passwords and data are being sent out non-stop.

In the position of the commander-in-chief of the fleet in the command center, General Liu Hong, commander-in-chief of the fleet, clasped his arms in his hands, and while paying attention to the situation of the air battle in the holographic monitoring area, he mobilized a large number of small spaceships on the ground in various theaters to meet the battle, looking confident.

There was no rush to give the order to attack, and the fleet immediately sent the latest large spaceship, apparently choosing the right time.

Yang Yi connected to the holographic information display system of the fleet warning center through the control center of the No. 005 spacecraft, and watched the changes in the combat situation above the earth.

As the battle became more and more intense, and the number of small spaceships sent by the fleet became smaller and smaller, Yang Yi's heart became a little nervous.

Yang Yi knew very well that at this time, Commander Liu Hong of the fleet had not yet given the order to attack, and he must be waiting for the end of this wave of Maltese spacecraft attacks and judging the intention of the Maltese to attack tonight.

After another ten minutes of fighting, the sound of explosions above the earth finally began to become scarce, and the Maltese pentagonal spacecraft began to withdraw out of the atmosphere, and it seemed that it was only a tentative attack.

"Attention to the commanders of the bases, start attacking! All small combat ships are dispatched to cover the approach of the enemy fleet with large ships! ”

Five minutes later, Yang Yi's ears finally heard the voice of General Liu Hong, commander-in-chief of the fleet.

"005 received, the other spaceships in the base pay attention, dispatch all small combat spaceships, and cover the launch of five hundred large spaceships!"

After Yang Yi quickly gave orders to the other spacecraft in the base, he activated the fusion engine of spacecraft 005.

In an instant, the nuclear fusion engine of the 100,000-ton spacecraft let out a loud roar, and two blue flames erupted from its tail, like a huge black bat, slowly flying up from the take-off area of the base and flying towards the underground base.

The valley suddenly roared to the sky, thousands of small ships started at the same time, and the blue light of the tail engine was like countless bright lights, illuminating the dark night sky.

"The ships are moving closer to me, and the small flight covers the large spacecraft in the middle, forming a two-fold equilateral triangle formation inside and outside!"

At an altitude of 3,000 meters above the valley, the spaceships of Yang Yi's fleet, which flew out of the underground base in advance, issued combat orders.

"Small battle ship clusters received, forming a cover formation!"

"The large spaceship teams have received it and are in formation!"

The clusters of spacecraft responded one after another, and at the same time they quickly flew towards Yang Yi's vicinity while climbing at high speed, quickly forming an equilateral triangular formation.

The reason why Yang Yi used this formation was also out of consideration to ensure the survivability of the fleet. Yang Yi knew very well that although there were a lot of spaceships in the United Fleet, the number of large spaceships was only a small number after all.

The targets of tonight's attack were the large pentagonal flying boats and the command ships of the remaining fleet entrenched by the Maltese entrenched over the earth, and only the 500 large ships weighing 100,000 tons in the center of the fleet had this capability.

These large pentagonal spacecraft are much more powerful than small spacecraft in terms of protection and attack capabilities, and if the formation is destroyed before the pentagonal spaceship carrier formation is reached, it indicates that the attack operation has failed, and the damage caused will be immeasurable.

According to the principle of equilateral triangles, no matter where the enemy attacks the triangle formation, there will be dense fire support throughout the formation, so as to ensure the survival rate of the large spacecraft in the center of the formation to the greatest extent and to reach the airspace where the command ship formation of the pentagonal spacecraft is located.

Yang Yi drove the spaceship to climb while staring at the formation of the formation.

Twenty seconds later, the formation finally formed twenty kilometers above the earth, and the blue flames emitted by the tail engines of thousands of spaceships, like a huge bright blue triangle, looked extremely beautiful in the night sky.

In the next second, the formation quickly flew towards the atmospheric dust at high speed.

At the same time, the spaceships of other bases also formed huge formations of different shapes, starting to attack from different directions in the night sky, flying towards the outside of the atmosphere.

Yang Yi piloted the spacecraft in the center of the triangular formation, which had already begun the second round of acceleration and was approaching the edge of the atmosphere.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! ……”

At the moment when they rushed out of the atmosphere, countless pillars of blue energy suddenly flashed wildly, and the Maltese apparently discovered the triangular formation, and the dense energy cannons began to attack.

Immediately, quite a few small combat ships were hit and exploded in the air.

"The outer ship returns fire, and the middle ship continues to move forward!"

Yang Yi gave the order with a solemn face, and the spacecraft on the periphery of the formation fired back. Fierce space battles broke out in an instant, beams of energy flashed back and forth in space, and spaceships were shot down on both sides.

In the fierce battle, the blue triangle formation still advanced at high speed, breaking through the dense firepower network of the blue energy light pillar of the pentagonal spaceship, and approaching the command ship formation of the Maltese pentagonal left-behind fleet, and the small combat spacecraft on the periphery of the formation kept exploding in the air.

While ordering the formation to fire, Yang Yi approached the large pentagonal spacecraft formation at high speed while estimating the losses of his own formation.

Now two hundred kilometers away from the pentagonal command ship formation, the loss of the small spaceships on the periphery of the triangular formation has been close to a quarter, and Yang Yi can't help but sweat in his palms.

Such losses are undoubtedly enormous, and every pilot has a precious life, and these pilots who are on the periphery of the formation in small combat spacecraft pay for their lives in advance just because of the common future of the earth.

Although Yang Yi was very worried, the will to win told him that he could only maintain the formation now and have a chance to approach the pentagon command ship.

Of course, at this rate of loss, if it is really close to the command ship formation of the remaining fleet, there will be very few small combat ships left on the periphery.

However, it is gratifying that the triangular formation has remained intact so far, and the speed of approach has increased significantly, and the dense firepower of the Maltese cannot stop the advance of the fleet at all.

One hundred and eighty kilometers, one hundred and sixty kilometers, one hundred and forty kilometers, Yang Yi looked at the formation of the Mal Pentagon spacecraft that was getting closer and closer, and calculated the approaching distance.

"Spread out and attack the mothership!"

Just when the formation was approaching a hundred kilometers of the pentagonal spaceship carrier formation, and the small pentagonal spaceship in front was almost swept away, Yang Yi gave the order for the formation to disperse.

In an instant, countless blue points of light flashed in the dark sky, and a large number of energy weapons were aimed at the Pentagon Fleet Command Ship and launched.

Among the command ships of the remaining fleet of the pentagonal fleet, the new fleet commander suddenly saw a huge bright blue triangle formation appear in the space near the fleet through the holographic projection of the command center, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

The commander of the Pentagon Fleet obviously did not expect that the Earth Combat Ship would be able to break through his own dense firepower network and be so close to the fleet.

Just as he was about to order the pentagonal command ship to start maneuvering and climb higher into the airspace, the huge bright blue triangle suddenly turned into countless points of light and spread out into space.

Almost at the same time, a dense array of energy weapons fired at the command ship, and countless pillars of blue energy light flashed wildly.

"Speed up the climb and fire back with all your might!"

The new commander of the Maltese fleet suddenly commanded in a loud voice in the Maltese language like a snake and scorpion, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the crimson snake.

Despite the fact that the two ships were so close that it was too late to get out, there were already ships in the large pentagonal fleet that were hit by the energy beams emitted by the Earth fleet, and they caught fire and exploded. The formation also became chaotic in an instant, and began to fight on its own, but the commander of the Maltese fleet obviously did not think that the Earth fleet could help the pentagonal fleet.

Half an hour after the engagement, the airspace of three hundred kilometers of the Earth.

Yang Yi piloted the No. 005 new spaceship command ship at high speed, chasing and firing at each other with several pentagonal spaceships at high altitude.

So far, most of the small combat ships have been lost, and nearly 100 of the 500 new ships of the 100,000-ton class have also been shot down.

The Maltese moved a pentagon fleet of several square kilometers, with only a few dozen ships on fire, but they were still emitting energy beams to attack the Earth fleet.

In front of these pentagonal spaceships weighing millions or even tens of millions of tons each, Yang Yi finally saw a huge gap, and the new spaceships of the earth's 100,000-ton level were simply small toys compared to these behemoths.

What made Yang Yi even more uneasy was that the gamma energy cannon launched by the new spacecraft did not have a very obvious attack effect on these pentagonal ships, and almost most of them were absorbed by the pentagonal fleet.

Yang Yi's heart couldn't help but rise, this is not a good sign, if the energy weapon is useless, the only way to use the killer weapon of the new spaceship, the antimatter cannon, is bound to be affected by the huge power of the antimatter cannon.

At the same time, many ships of other bases of the Interstellar United Fleet of the Solar System also broke through the Maltese fleet's energy weapon strike fire network and approached the airspace where the command ship of the Pentagon Fleet was located.
