Chapter 329: Race against Time

Although the combat effectiveness of a single Corruptor ship is not very high, the sheer number of the Corruptor fleet masks this shortcoming, just as a swarm of ants can bite an elephant to death, and the power of the pack is terrifying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Countless cannonballs instantly wiped out half of the shields of the Empire's Battlefortress group, which had been specially strengthened by shields.

Although the Battlefortress group kept strafing all around, it would take tens of thousands of Corruptor ships with them before the next salvo of the Corruptor fleet.

Although tens of thousands of warships seem to be a lot, for the corrupt with 30 million warships, it is like rubbing a little skin, and they still don't feel pain.

By the time the Corruptor fleet has finished charging and fired a second salvo, the Imperial Battlefortress Group's shields have bottomed out, and if the Corruptors fire another salvo, the Imperial Fortress Group will lose the protection of their shields.

At this time, a large number of fortresses suddenly lowered their outer layers of heavy armor, revealing honeycomb-shaped launch nests, and tens of millions of mass-accelerating shells were fired out of these fixed cannonball storm launchers.

Fly towards the Corruptor fleet that lives around the Battlestar!

The Corruptors didn't expect that the dying Imperial Battlestar group would still have such a hand, and the very compact fleet of the Corruptors was like a target sent to the door.

The mass acceleration of these cannonball storms hits 99 percent with the formation of the Corruptor fleet!

With such a high hit rate, hundreds of thousands of casualties are high!

The Corruptor ships that had been parked at the front were reduced to wreckage flying in the air under the untold cannonballs.

Unfortunately, these cannonball storms are too large to reload at once.

Of course, this also has to do with the cost reduction in order to build in batches, and the shell storm launchers in these Battlestar will completely damage the barrel after a single shot, and they will have to be removed and replaced with new ones.

However, the Empire originally intended to use the first two lines of defense as disposable consumables, and their role was to delay the third line of defense as much as possible, so that the third line of defense could be more prepared.

After dispersing the formation, the commander of the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet waited for a long time to find that the Empire did not have a next attack, and only then did he realize that this weapon of the Imperial Battlestar was a one-off.

Feeling teased, the Corruptor Commander viciously ordered the fleet to press down, filling the gaps between the ships once again.

And by this time, the Imperial Battlestar had managed to delay for another six hours.

In these six hours, the shield of the Imperial Battlestar has been restored by 20%, and with the original remaining 20% of the shield, the Imperial Battlestar can once again resist the next salvo of the Corruptor fleet, which invisibly delays the Empire for several more hours.

After several hours of charging, the Corruptor fleet fired another volley, knocking down the shield of the Imperial Battlestar group to a state where the second line of defense was already in jeopardy.

At this time, the second detachment of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was very close to the incubator's capital star system, and it only took eight or nine days to reach it.

There are still four days left before the calculated third line of defense falls.....

At this time, the second line of defense had been breached by the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet six days earlier, and the remnants of countless fortresses were suspended in disorderly space.

And the expeditionary fleet of the Corruptors is outside the last line of defense of the Empire.

At this time, hundreds of huge spacefortresses were distributed in the galaxy in a circular sphere on the last line of defense of the empire, and the advantage of this formation was that no matter which direction the enemy was in, at least half of the battlestars could attack them.

The other side of the Battlestar is also able to attack enemies on this side through the huge gap between the fortresses on this side.

In addition, in all the hangars in the fortress, the rows of space fighters stacked together have all been filled with energy, and nuclear warhead missiles have also been installed in the fighters.

In the drone launch bay on the other side, countless drones have also been loaded with missiles, quietly waiting for the order to come.

Around the fortress, there are dense unmanned artillery batteries, which are constantly rotating in space, scanning the vast starry sky.

On the back side of the Battlestar, the newly built Imperial ships are also quietly suspended in space, and after the first salvo of the ships of the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet, they will be poured out along with space fighters and drones.

Hours later, the prepared Corruptor fleet was within range of the Empire's third line of defense.

With the commander's order, countless Corruptor warships formed a huge wall-shaped formation.

Corruptor destroyers, with thick armor and shields, lined up in front, forming a shield wall.

The alternate destroyer is behind the first destroyer, followed by the Corruptor frigate and five Corruptor flagships (cruisers).

The reason why the Corruptor Commander chose this formation is because in this kind of hard-fought offensive and defensive battle, instead of flying around, it is better to use the shield advantage of large ships to attract firepower, and the frigates with relatively weak defenses follow behind, which can be pinched to shoot at the enemy in front.

"Fire!" With the Corruptor Commander commanding, countless cannonballs flew out from behind the shield wall and headed for the Empire's Battlestar Complex.

However, it is clear that this number of shells will not do much damage to the Imperial fortress group that has already connected the shields together, and it seems that taking this line of defense will be a long-lasting project.

Not to be outdone, after receiving a salvo from the Corruptor Expeditionary Fleet, the Imperial Fortress Group opened fire from countless main guns, and the outer armor of the fortress also opened, revealing the cannonball storm launchers inside.

"All spare destroyers ready to step forward!" Seeing the Empire unsurprisingly unleash this disposable weapon, the Corruptor Commander sneered disdainfully.

As the shell wrapper of the Storm Launcher's launch port was torn open by the shells, shells rushed towards the Corruptor fleet.

The Corruptor battleship did not dodge, but ordered the destroyers in the second row to prepare to step forward and replace the destroyers in the first row.

But it didn't occur to this group of corruptors that the Empire would not play its cards by common sense at all, and that all mass-accelerated shells would be replaced with extremely expensive nuclear warheads.

These mass-accelerating shells are out of the category of kinetic weapons! Countless small nuclear explosions flash through the Corruptor's shield wall.

Blinding white light caused the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Imperial Fortress command center to automatically change color until the light was no longer so harsh.
