Chapter 698: Engagement

"We are the Sith Empire! We have come with good intentions to help you build a river system of co-prosperity. The commander of the Imperial Advance Fleet smiled slightly.

The two fleets have just exchanged basic language libraries, and now the calls between the two sides have been automatically converted by the computer into a language that they can understand.

"River system co-prosperity? What is the meaning? The representative of the other party looked back at the group of companions behind him with some confusion, and the companions also shook their heads lightly to indicate that they did not understand.

"If you are willing to submit to the rule of our empire, we can lead you to prosperity together!" The Imperial Fleet Commander said with a sneer.

"If we don't promise you, what can you do!" The commander of the other party sneered disdainfully, what are you kidding, just this fleet of less than 10,000 ships still wants to dominate their entire river system and make their entire river system submit?

"You'll know what we can do!" With a wave of his hand, the Imperial Commander ordered the officers on the side to turn off the video communications, while secretly putting all the ships into combat mode.

The battleships on the opposite side also sensitively entered a state of combat readiness after the communication was cut off, and the battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

But this is not what the other side wants to see, after all, they are still weak now, and the other party wants to hold on until the fleets of other civilizations arrive, and the losses will undoubtedly be much smaller when the time comes.

But the Imperial Fleet did not give them a chance, although the Imperial Fleet did not know that the other side's reinforcements were on the way, but the commanders and staff knew that no matter what the other side wanted to do, they would definitely have ghosts if they did not take the initiative to attack in the face of the invading enemy!

The Imperial Commander made a decisive decision and decisively ordered the fleet to immediately approach the opposing fleet.

The opposing fleet saw that the Imperial fleet that was beginning to accelerate finally knew that this battle was inevitable, and began to spread out in all directions into the battle formation.

Ignorant of each other's combat prowess, each side sent a battleship to the front of the queue.

The role of this ship will be to attract the enemy's firepower, understand the strength of the opponent's firepower, and at the same time launch an attack on the opponent's ship to test the extent of damage to the opponent's defenses with its own weapons.

The distance between the two fleets grew closer, and just as the two sides approached a distance of millions of kilometers, the Imperial warships fired the missiles first.

As soon as the antimatter-filled missiles left the launchers, they operated at full power, and 95 percent of the area of the missiles was replaced by thrusters because the warheads became extremely small.

This missile can accelerate itself to up to 85 percent of the speed of light in just three seconds! The energy crystals equipped in their bodies provide enough power for the thrusters!

With the help of mass shields, the weight of these missiles will be reduced to almost non-existent, which is why they can accelerate to 85 percent of the speed of light in a short time.

The distance of three million kilometers between the two fleets can be reached by today's missiles in just over ten seconds.

The number of missiles fired from the Empire's 10,000 warships was as high as a million, and the million missiles had just flown halfway when the opponent immediately began to try to intercept them.

Millions of missiles also rose from the opposing fleet, flying towards the missiles fired by the Empire.

It is clear that missiles in this river system have not withdrawn from the stage of history, and this civilization is still equipped with anti-missile weapons!

However, they clearly underestimated the insidiousness of the Empire, and when their interceptor missile was about to meet the Imperial missile, the Empire's missile suddenly opened the fairing in the head, and thousands of sub-warheads flashed red flashed out of it.

The thrusters at the rear of the missile began to drift forward by inertia because of the loss of energy.

If someone who has fought against the Empire sees the current scene, they will definitely exclaim that the Empire is playing this trick again!

That's right, there are no warheads in these sub-warheads, they are just hollow balls that have been temporarily inflated.

And the real antimatter is hidden in the thrusters that seem to have lost their function.

But this civilization in the battle with the Imperial fleet did not know that they were immediately frightened into a cold sweat when they saw the sub-warheads fired from the missile.

They did not expect that the missiles of the Reich would be able to carry so many sub-warheads!

Fearing that some warheads had missed, they hurriedly fired another wave of interceptor missiles.

The opponent quickly set all the interceptor missiles to detonate in an area with a dense number of warheads.

These interceptor missiles turned into one flash after another in the rain of Imperial sub-warheads, and countless sub-warheads were blown to pieces by the explosion of these missiles.

Due to the limited number of interceptor missiles, these interceptor missiles do not target thrusters that rush forward by inertia.

The interception force is already a bit insufficient, and it must not be wasted on these useless wreckage, even if these wrecks are allowed to hit, it will not produce much damage!

When the two violent explosions passed, less than 100,000 warheads were left of the scattered Imperial missiles.

When these 100,000 warheads flew next to the opponent's battleship, they encountered the opponent's battleship's close defense system.

Rapid-fire artillery shells flew out of the battleship and met the warheads of the Imperial missiles in the air, blowing them to pieces.

The wreckage of the missile thruster continued to fly forward seemingly harmlessly, the opposing warship had already set its flight trajectory, and their battleship would completely avoid the wreckage of the flying thruster.

Of course, it would be nice if things were as simple as that, when the missile thrusters floated into the opposing fleet, the missile thrusters suddenly ignited their respective engines!

Under the shocked gaze of the enemy, the missiles crashed straight into the nearest battleship.

The close defense guns of these battleships are still strafing the flying warheads, and they didn't expect these wrecks to have the ability to maneuver!

In the expectant eyes of the Commander of the Imperial Fleet, the thrusters slammed into their respective targets.

The antimatter warhead embedded in the missile thruster detonated instantly, and the antimatter instantly reacted with the armor on the surface of these warships, and an incomparable energy impact erupted from the surface of these warships.

Before the ships could eject the escape pods, they were blown to pieces by the blast of energy.

Countless battleship wrecks instantly filled the entire starry sky, and even the other party's flagship was not spared, although this flagship was extremely heavily armored, it was taken care of by the missiles launched by the Empire, and it was directly vaporized in the explosion caused by more than a dozen antimatter missiles!
