Chapter 378: Blocking in front of the defensive line

The people know that every time the highest level of combat readiness represents the outbreak of war between empires and civilizations with vastly disparities in combat effectiveness, this time is no exception.

Some people deduced from the dynamics of the TV station during this time and the newly added mechanical race in the game that the outbreak of war with the empire must have something to do with this so-called mechanical civilization.

That's right, the Readiness Alert was issued because the Empire's gravity probe detected a massive gravitational migration in Eva's starfield.

One of the high-gravity units is heading faster than light in the direction of the Empire.

A gravity unit of this size is not possible other than Eva's fleet.

And by dividing the estimated weight by the weight of Eva's mechanical battleship, we get a staggering number of about 100 million warships!

This shocked Li Mingze, he didn't expect Eva to use fifty years to develop such a large number of warships! It's horrible!

In order to hold off the enemy as long as possible, the Empire has built enough Xenomorph and Tiger Shark-class warships.

All fortresses and space stations along the way from the Imperial to Eva were retrofitted with one-time hyperspace engines and sent into hyperspace to fly towards the front lines.

In the Imperial Capital, a large number of construction workers began to dismantle the defense modules on the four planets in the starting star system, load them onto transport ships and fly towards the front line.

At this time on the front line, the four planets have completed a simple transformation to ensure that the defense modules transported from the Empire can be put into use directly.

As the days passed, the Empire's transports used the Wormhole Highway to transport the defense modules to the front line before Eva's fleet arrived.

Pieces of defense modules began to be assembled on the four prepared planets, and the long-departed Battlestar and Space Station left hyperspace one after another to reach their destination.

According to the gravity detection device, Eva's fleet is getting closer and closer to the front line of the Empire, and there is only half a day left to go.

"Where do they appear?" Li Mingze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the control room of a space fortress on the defensive line, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and turned his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's in this direction." An officer swiped his hand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and a flickering icon appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Aim in this direction in four hours, launch all the missiles and torpedoes, and I'll see how long they can hold out under our sea of missiles!" Li Mingze snorted coldly, raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

"The enemy warship is about to enter the stellar range, twenty minutes countdown!" Four hours later, an alarm sounded in the control room.

"Launch the missile!" With Li Mingze's order, countless missiles took off from various space stations, fortresses, and spaceships, forming a barrage of bullets in front and back, flying in the direction of Eva's fleet.

At this time, many artificial intelligence beings in Eva's fleet did not know that a terrible rain of missiles was approaching in front of their fleet.

Relying on optical detectors, they are ignorant of the outside world while traveling faster than the speed of light.

In this way, the missile curtain wall got closer and closer to Eva's super fleet, and it was not long before the first curtain wall collided with the mechanical warship flying in front of it.

With a burst of explosions, a large number of space bubbles of the mechanical battleship were shattered, and the spaceship was exposed to the shrapnel produced by the explosion.

Countless flashes of explosion began to flicker on the emerging mechanical battleships, and a large number of mechanical battleships were blown into splinters before they could react.

The first wave of explosions passed quickly, and the mechanical battleship that followed behind the leader battleship easily bounced off the debris floating in space with its own space bubble, and continued to fly towards the target.

However, at this time, the curtain wall of the second batch of missiles had already met up, and bursts of explosive fire began to flicker in space again.

From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the space station, it looks like a brilliant fireworks have been set off in space.

Eva's mechanical battleship is like a moth flying into a campfire, crashing into the curtain wall of missiles launched by the Empire.

The lack of means of communication at the speed of light has led to the fact that many mechanical warships cannot communicate with each other at all, and the battleships behind them have no idea what is happening to the battleships in front.

Originally, for safety, the front and rear warships left a large distance to advance, which just filled the gap in the flight time of the Imperial missile curtain wall.

A large number of mechanical battleships are firmly blocked on the periphery of the star system.

However, the number of missiles in the Empire is limited after all, and in addition to the fact that this covering shot consumes a lot of unnecessary ammunition, the missiles carried on the Empire's space station and battleships will soon bottom out.

It didn't take long for the remaining mechanical warships to finally get out of the way of the missile barrage, and one by one they left the warp state and came out of the range of the space station's ordinary weapons.

Eva's clones who left the faster-than-light state were shocked to see the debris floating in space, and from the fragments of the wreckage, it could be seen that these were their own mechanical warships, and they had lost three-tenths of their warships before they reached their destination!

According to the incomplete statistics of the system, only 50 million of the 1.30 million missiles launched by the Sith Empire were hit.

But these 50 million rounds took away as many as 30 million of Eva's mechanical warships, so that Eva and her super fleet only had 70 million warships left.

But even so, the sheer number of warships left left was overwhelming the people in the Imperial Front Command.

"Activate the missile's backup thruster, and the target has left the faster-than-light state of the mechanical battleship to attack!" Li Mingze smiled, turned around and sat back in the command chair.

A moment later, the missiles that had already flown far away and missed Eva's fleet turned around and flew back.

In the panicked firing defense of the battleships of the Eva Machine Fleet, there were still many missiles that dodged the flying shells and missiles and rushed into Eva's super fleet.

However, due to the lack of special advantages against the ship when flying at warp speed, the damage caused by the remaining 200 million missiles is extremely limited.

But Eva's mechanical warships were also killed in this U-turn attack, close to 10 million of them!

The remaining 60 million ships are still weighing on everyone's hearts like a big mountain.

At this time, Eva's clones had already reacted and began to control the warships to rush towards the Imperial defenses.

Sixty million warships obscured all view of the front of the Imperial line of defense.

However, this also facilitates the Empire's attack, and anyway, as long as you fire a cannon at the front, you will definitely be able to hit a battleship.

After the mechanical battleship reached the range of the Imperial fortress's fortress cannon, a glowing beam cannon and mass-accelerating cannonball fired wildly at Eva's battleship.

Violent explosions began to spread through Eva's fleet, and countless warships were bombarded by the Empire's fortresses, but the number of these destroyed warships was only a drop in the bucket in the face of 60 million.
