Chapter 328: Countdown to the Fall of the Defense Line

"Keep up! Kill them! Seeing the two Dreadnoughts of the Empire leap into hyperspace, the commanders of the two Corruptor fleets said angrily, they were already carried away by anger at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No, sir, we've been affected by the gravity well created by that giant orb, and we can't make the jump!" The Corruptor officer in charge of the jump said in frustration.

"Keep going until you can leap into hyperspace!" The Corruptor Commander sighed, fearing that the Imperial fleet would lay a trap on the other side if he had been given enough time to react.

But now they can't jump into hyperspace, and it's impossible for them to give up the encirclement and suppression of the two Imperial dreadnoughts.

..................................................................................

Unlike the two Imperial Dreadnoughts, which had achieved amazing results, the Empire's newly built Battlestar was in the midst of a bitter battle on the route from the Corruptor to the Empire's starfield.

The Fourth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet, the Corruptors.... By the Eighth Fleet, the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet of five fleets had arrived in front of the Empire's Battlestar.

Despite the fortress's thick shields, the fortress complex has withstood the first salvo of the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet.

However, the shield margin, which has bottomed out, suggests that if the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet fires another salvo, the Empire's fortress group may lose the protection of the shield and be directly exposed to the Corruptor's shells.

Seizing the time for the Corruptor Battleship's main gun to recharge (no secondary guns, just one main gun), the Empire's Battlestar shoots wildly at the Corruptor fleet, completely oblivious to the wear and tear of weapons.

This high-intensity uncooled shot makes the service life of the weapon significantly reduced, not even one percent of the design life, but so what.

Who knows if these weapons will be useless after the next salvo of the Corruptor fleet, and maybe the fortress group will be destroyed by then.

While the fixed batteries on the fortress were firing frantically, the staff in the fortress had already boarded the evacuation ship and flew towards the next fortress group.

These fortress clusters are one of the Empire's defenses, and the Corruptor is already attacking the Empire's improvised first line of defense.

After the first line of defense, there is a second line of defense that is much older and more complete.

The second line of defense is followed by the longest-built, most resource-intensive third line of defense, the last line of defense of the Empire, which is also home to a material transmission transit station.

If this third line of defense is breached, it will not only mean that the Empire's homeland will be like a piece of fat in front of the hungry wolves, but it will also mean that the Imperial fleet that has penetrated deep into the territory of the Corruptor will lose its ability to resupply.

Without the ability to replenish, the survival materials of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet could only last for three years, and the ammunition could only support two medium-intensity battles.

It can be said that the fall of the last line of defense represents the victory or loss of the empire in this war.

"Your Majesty, the Corruptor's fleet has reached our first line of defense, and although the fortress of the first line of defense has tried its best to resist it, the strength of the Corruptor's expeditionary fleet is too strong."

"Our first line of defense will only last another day at most." Tianyi came to Li Mingze with a somewhat ugly face.

"The first line of defense can hold out for one day, and the journey from the first line of defense to the second line of defense takes six days, so how long can the second line of defense last?" Li Mingze's complexion was also a little difficult to look at.

"The number of forts in our second line of defense has doubled that of the first line of defense, and with the Corruptor warships eliminated by the first line of defense, the second line of defense will be able to hold out for a little more than two days." Tianyi closed his eyes and calculated for half a second and replied.

"Two days for the second line of defense plus the first seven days, that's nine days, and the journey from the second line of defense to the third line of defense also takes six days! How long will our third line of defense hold? Li Mingze's face was already a little dark.

"Our third line of defense is the most complete, and the number of forts is also the largest, and we are also equipped with fighters and unmanned batteries, but even then, we can only hold out for four days at most." Tianyi shook his head and said.

"The four days of the third line of defense plus the previous fifteen days, we have nineteen days, and the third line of defense will take nearly twenty days to reach the Imperial Star Field."

"That means we only have thirty-nine days at most! The optimal time is 19 days. Li Mingze frowned with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but it will take us fifteen days to reach the capital circle of the Corruptors from our current position, and this is without any fighting on the road!" Tianyi nodded.

"We continue to circle around with the two encirclement fleets of the Corruptors, and order the second detachment to move at full speed at once and give me a punch into the Corruptor's capital circle!" Li Mingze ordered at Tianyi.

Skywing nodded, and controlled the dreadnought to leap out of hyperspace, flying in the other direction.

At this time, there were eighteen days left before the fall of the third line of defense.

The second fleet of the Empire is speeding through the dead end marked by Leith towards the star system, the capital of the Corruptor civilization.

Although Leith wanted to use the encirclement and suppression fleet of the corruptors to weaken the strength of the Imperial fleet, he did not want to kill the Imperial fleet just yet, so the route given was quite reliable.

The second squadron did not encounter a single manned executive star or Battlestar along the way.

On the other side, the two Imperial dreadnoughts began to circle with the two encirclement fleets that were reluctant to follow.

Because he was worried about exposing another fleet that was in a hurry, Li Mingze ordered that the two detachments of the fleet should not open fire, but could only run away, and not even a chicken could be killed along the way.

Only by suddenly giving the corrupt capital a surprise can Li Mingze achieve the effect he wants.

Twelve days remain before the third line of defense is destroyed.

The Corruptor's expeditionary fleet has easily wiped out the fortress group of the Empire's first line of defense, and is outside the second line.

While this line of defense is more than twice as many as the first line of defense, it is not a problem for the incomparably large Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet.

You have more fortresses, we have more ships in our fleet, and if we can't fight for quality, we will fight for quantity, this is the tactic of the corrupters.

No matter how many Imperial Fortresses there are, there are countless Corruptor warships that can surround the Imperial Fortress in all directions.

Attack the Imperial Fortress Complex in 360 degrees without dead ends.

The encircled Imperial fortress can only strafe at will, anyway, it is densely packed with Corruptor warships, and a few can be killed with a casual sweep, and none of them will miss.

Similarly, the destructive power of the large number of Corruptor ships is impressive.
