Chapter 405: Heavy losses

Two days later....

The Combined Fleet returned to the real universe from the purple world of hyperspace with electric light.

The combined fleet, which had just leapt out of hyperspace, fell silent, and all the warships did not even dare to turn on the thrusters in the tail.

The cause of this strange phenomenon is the alien warship floating around the Combined Fleet, with no end in sight.

To the surprise of the Combine Fleet commanders, the probes in front of them did not reveal any life in the star system.

The energy detectors did not react at all, as if these alien warships floating in the starry sky were lifeless meteorites.

At this moment, an open eye on the body of the alien battleship suddenly turned, and the entire alien battleship seemed to be injected with vitality, and its body began to squirm continuously.

Li Mingze, who was observing through the holographic screen, knew that this was the scene when the hibernation mode specially designed by the empire was lifted.

Originally, in order to conserve resources in the absence of war, a dormant gene of microorganisms was added to these alien warships.

In their dormant state, these Xenomorph ships will lose nearly all of their health fluctuations and consume negligible amounts of energy.

The only way to undo hibernation is for all Xenomorph ships to wake up from their dormancy as soon as their eyeballs detect a ship approaching, or if one of them is attacked in any way.

"Sir, a large amount of energy fluctuations have been discovered, and the number is being calculated!"

"A million!"

"Two million!"

"Three million!"

"Five million!" The soldier's face was bloodless.

At this time, the holographic screen in the bridge of the flagship of the Republic also began to appear one after another, and these highlights were undoubtedly the alien warships that had been released from dormancy!

Cold sweat also began to break out on the face of the commander of the combined fleet, the commander of the republic.

He didn't expect that there were so many monster warships around him!

"Fire now!" He gritted his teeth and commanded loudly.

Anyway, it's already in the encirclement, so it's better to seize the opportunity.

The fleets that received the order began to aim their guns at the alien warships that had awakened and were gathering around them.

Colorful cannonballs flew out of the combined fleet, and countless shells, missiles, and beam cannons flew towards the alien battleship.

Because the weapons of the five civilizations are different, the entire battlefield is more like a fireworks show, with weapons of various colors flying together.

At this time, the alien fleet also reacted and began to counterattack, aiming at the combined fleet and spitting acid shells.

Five million acid shells burst through the air to form a large net, and by inertia, they shrouded towards the United Fleet.

The acid poured on the shield of the Combined Fleet warship, causing the shield to flicker wildly.

Based on the concentration and amount of these acids, the shield lasts less than a minute!

"Activate the acid-proof shell!" Li Mingze, who had been prepared, ordered to the soldiers on the side.

The armor of the New Human Federation's warship suddenly unfolded outward, and a transparent armor shell protruded from under the armor and covered the hull.

In tens of seconds, a transparent shell firmly enveloped the warship of the New Human Federation.

This made other civilizations dumbfounded, what is this new human federation doing, isn't it the enemy's first salvo, is it necessary to make such a fuss?

However, they soon tasted the hardships of the enemy, and the acid soon corroded the shields of the destroyers on the outer side of the fleet.

After the acid corroded the destroyer's shield, it began to drift through the universe because of the lack of kinetic energy.

The destroyer, which had lost its shield, was inevitably stained with floating acid because it was moving.

In the blink of an eye, the armor of these ships began to bubble with molten metal.

The ships of the New Human Federation had no effect, and the transparent acid-proof armor kept the acid firmly out of the battleship.

This armor was directly immune to acid, which was left behind in the rear of the fleet without any effect.

At this time, the various civilizations scolded the fuck, the acid of this biological civilization did not expect to do so much damage to their armor.

And the transparent armor technology on the outer layer of the new human Federation warship is too advanced, and even such a powerful acid does not cause damage to this layer of armor.

This can't help but make the countries overestimate the strength of the New Human Federation by a step.

"Watch out for their second attack." Before Li Mingze could finish speaking, the alien warship fired a second salvo at the United Fleet.

Countless bone spur shells were fired at the Combined Fleet, and the destroyers whose armor had been softened by the corroded acid were easily pierced by the bone spurs.

The ensuing explosion of bone spurs tore the poor destroyers into pieces.

The battleships of various countries were a little better, the thick shields depleted the acid early, and even more so because they hid under the protection of the destroyers with the cruisers, and the acid they got was very limited.

After the second round of attacks by alien warships, the combined fleet only bottomed out its shields, and did not lose any warships except for the destroyers that were torn apart.

However, the loss of destroyers is a bit unacceptable to all countries, except for the New Human Federation, there are almost a dozen destroyers left in all civilizations.

The destroyers of up to 200,000 destroyers in the original combined fleet attacked in two rounds, and only 20,000 of them were left, mainly the New Human Federation!

"Keep firing! Don't stop! "Although the fleet on his side suffered heavy losses, after seeing that the alien fleet also lost 300,000 warships, the commander of the combined fleet was full of motivation again.

He didn't know that he was right, the alien fleet took a very long time to resynthesize acid cannonballs and bone spur cannonballs, which was enough time for them to destroy a lot of alien warships.

The new alien matrix apparently also discovered the disadvantages of its own fleet, and began to order the gathered alien warships to start maneuvering irregularly.

This greatly reduced the combat efficiency of the Combined Fleet, which took two hours to destroy less than a million alien warships.

"Inform the fleets of all civilizations to prepare to retreat! Let's just say that we have detected a large amount of energy reaction inside these alien warships, and it must be that their acid bombs are starting to condense again! Li Mingze pinched the time, estimating that it was time to reload the weapons of the alien warship, and hurriedly ordered Shen Yahui.

Seconds later, fleet commanders of all civilizations received a warning message from the New Human Federation.

After launching all of its weapons in stock at once, the Combined Fleet made an emergency leap into hyperspace.

These fleet commanders knew that if their own warships continued to resist another acid attack, it was likely that even the cruisers would be lost in the end, so it was better to retreat back and rebuild the battleships.
