Chapter 769: Go to War
However, it is a pity that Li Mingze did not know that during the time he left the main universe, because of the difference in time between the universes, thousands of years have passed in the main universe!
The Zerg that has used these thousands of years to develop is no longer the Zerg it was at the beginning!
Although it seems that the empire has used nearly a thousand years of time to develop rapidly, the speed of the development of the Zerg is not inferior, and the empire and the Zerg happen to be on the same starting line again.
When the Imperial Fleet had just lined up the battle formation, the Zerg swarm had already jumped out of hyperspace and in front of the Imperial Fleet.
The Zerg didn't expect that they would be able to put themselves in the arms of other civilizations by jumping casually.
Along the way, in order to avoid the tracking of the assimilators, the Zerg fleet did not dare to scan the outside world at all.
They didn't want to be discovered by the assimilators while they were scanning, so the swarm set a general direction and hurried away.
Anyway, even if they get in the way, the swarm that has already gathered together can ignore any enemy!
After discovering the Imperial fleet, the Zerg were unexpectedly frozen in place, they had flown for so long and had encountered other civilizations for the first time.
And this civilization, somewhat..... Familiar.
That's right, the livery on this civilization warship makes the Zerg Mother Empress a little familiar.
Yes! The Sith Empire that fought her more than 5,000 years ago!
The Zerg Mother Empress suddenly sounded the Sith Empire, which had been inseparable from her and even did not hesitate to detonate her own territory to prevent her development.
I didn't expect this Sith Empire to pop up again after disappearing for so long.
I don't know what the relationship between this Sith Empire and the civilization called the Sith Alliance is, if it weren't for the big difference in strength, she almost thought that the Sith Alliance was the Sith Empire.
The Imperial Fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, took advantage of the time when the Zerg was stunned to launch all the weapons that had been stored in one go.
Suddenly, the entire starry sky was filled with cannonballs fired by the Empire, and the light from the beam cannon firing obscured the glow of the nearby star.
However, just when the Imperial officers thought that the swarm would suffer heavy losses under this salvo of Imperial ships!
A large green shield suddenly rose in the direction of the swarm, which carried all the attacks down, and it shattered and dissipated when the last shell hit the shield.
The Imperial fleet, which had not had an effect on the first salvo, instantly lost its first-mover advantage, and the situation on the battlefield was in the hands of the swarm.
At this time, the battleships of the swarm unhurriedly aimed their guns at the Imperial fleet.
It seems that the Zerg Mother Emperor has the intention of playing tricks on the Imperial fleet, and the speed of these cannon barrels makes the officers of the Empire a little crazy, and it is better to be directly hit by a cannonball.
Obviously seeing the turrets of the Zerg battleships turning, the Imperial fleet could not move easily.
Equipped with a group shield, the Imperial fleet needed to keep the formation tight so that the shields of all ships could be fused together to form a more powerful shield.
Any ship that leaves the formation without permission can cause the fleet's group shield to fail.
So the Imperial warships could only quietly wait for the arrival of the Zerg attack.
It took two minutes for the Zerg warship to aim its guns at the Imperial fleet, and these two minutes were simply torturous for the Imperial officers!
However, since the other party is so light on the enemy, then the empire will naturally let them taste the bitterness.
During the confrontation between the Imperial fleet and the swarm, the mothership of the swarm was already on its way to the ground.
The attack of the swarm fleet was not the plasma or acid that the Empire was once accustomed to, and the same kinetic cannonballs and beam weapons were fired from their turrets.
It seems that this Zerg has completely changed its technological structure, could it be that they have embarked on the path of mechanical technology?
Like the shield that popped up by the Zerg, a blue shield was raised in the Imperial fleet, blocking all attacks from the Zerg fleet.
The current battle has a turn-based feel, and both sides can't move around for mobile combat because of the group shield.
It's so absurdly separated by thousands of kilometers of confrontation, and whoever has a cooldown time for their weapons will be fired.
It's all about fighting each other's shields and attack capabilities!
Such a boring battle made Li Mingze sleepy, and he got up directly from his command chair and left the bridge.
I just learned from the rest of the shield that based on the enemy's current attack strength and efficiency, it may take ten hours for the shields of both sides to be broken.
That's when the battle really begins, and now it's all about draining each other's shields, so he still has plenty of time to rest for a while.
What's more, the Empire's swarm mothership is also on the way, and when the swarm mothership arrives, it will be the time for the empire to turn back the war situation.
By the time Li Mingze returned to the lounge, the warships of the two sides were still shooting at each other.
More than nine hours passed, and Li Mingze returned to the bridge, at this time the shield of the imperial fleet had bottomed out, and so was the shield of the swarm.
However, with their mothership backing them, the Zerg's shields should be able to hold out for a little longer than the Imperial fleet.
"Your Majesty, our mothership has arrived!" Suddenly, an officer stood up and reported to Li Mingze.
Li Mingze's eyes narrowed: "Oh? The mothership of the swarm has arrived? Order all warships to launch all antimatter missiles empty! No need to drain the water! ”
That's right, the Empire's attack has been releasing water all the time, and antimatter-filled missiles and cannonballs have never been useful, just to wait for the Hive Mothership to arrive.
One may wonder why antimatter weapons have not been put into service. Rather, it is necessary to wait for the arrival of the hive mothership.
Because of the special properties of antimatter, it must react with positive matter to release energy, so if you directly use antimatter missiles and cannonballs to attack the Zerg's shield, it will not be able to release huge energy at all, and it will be able to have a few percent of the original power.
But it's different with the Hive Mothership, which is a good medium for antimatter release.
Once the number of Vespa fighters gathered is enough, the energy that these antimatter shells and antimatter missiles of the Empire can release can even wipe out a planet.
When a cylindrical battleship sailed out of the rear of the Imperial fleet, the swarm sensed that something was wrong, but they didn't think much of it, their weapons were now charging, and even if they thought about it, they couldn't do anything about the ship.
And at this moment, countless Vespa fighters poured out of this hive mothership like a tide!
