"All the ships are ready to disperse! All weapons are charged! The Imperial Commander squinted and issued the order to the entire fleet through the psychic network.

The Imperial fleet, after five salvos from the Federation, finally reached the optimal firing distance of the main guns.

After the fifth salvo was over, the Imperial warship, which had been hiding behind the white dwarf-class battleship, suddenly scattered in all directions, and aimed all the weapons on the battleship at the Federation's unmanned turrets and spacefortresses.

"The main gun is aimed at the Space Fortress, the secondary gun is aimed at the unmanned battery, and the missiles are fired at the same time!" As the order to fire arrived, the Imperial battleship began to flicker with flashes of fire, and antimatter shells erupted from the barrels.

At the same time, the armor plates on both sides of the battleship opened again, and missiles were ejected from the battleship's launch bay into the air, igniting the tail thrusters in the air and rushing towards the Federation's unmanned battery.

In less than a second, the entire starry sky was filled with cannonballs and missiles fired by the Empire.

The missiles flying in the sky each chose an unmanned battery as a target and rushed over.

At the same time, the white dwarf-class battleship also opened its armor on the hull, and exposed its main guns to those space fortresses with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

Bang bang

Shells filled with large doses of antimatter began to be accelerated by the accelerating stance inside the railgun.

The shells spun and rushed out of the muzzle of the main gun, and the thrusters in the tail ignited in mid-air, accelerating the shells to a higher speed.

In the blink of an eye, the shells slammed into the armor of the Federation fortresses, the outer shields of which had already been removed by the main guns of the Imperial Zeus-class battleships.

When the main gun of the White Dwarf Star battleship hit the armor of the fortress, the internal antimatter was instantly pushed to the head of the shell, making contact with the armor of the fortress.

The antimatter, which had lost its shackles, immediately began to annihilate with the metal that made up the fortress's armor, and a large amount of energy was released.

In an instant, the heavy armor on the outer layer of the fortress could not withstand the violent energy released, and began to bend inward.

The alarm bell in the fortress was instantaneous, the lights in the entire fortress turned bright red, and the alarm lights in the corridor were flashing constantly.

As the outer armor of the fortress continued to deform under the impact of energy, a piercing sound of metal twisting could be heard throughout the fortress, and the sound tickled people's eardrums.

At the same time, the huge tremor caused the staff inside the fort to start swaying from side to side, and the artificial gravity that was originally used for convenience made people affected by the tremor.

After a few seconds, the corridors inside the fortress began to twist and deform, data cables fell from the ceiling to the floor, and huge cracks began to appear in the walls.

No way! No way! All the staff inside the fort were in disbelief.

You must know that the fortress they work on is a super fortress with a diameter of 50 kilometers and armor up to 100 meters thick!

How could such a fortress with such a powerful defense not be able to withstand a salvo from the opponent! It's impossible! The soldiers inside the battleship ran frantically through the corridors, trying to escape to the nearest escape pod.

Looking at the corridors that were constantly distorting, at the walls that had begun to spark with electricity, and at the data cables flying around, the soldiers no longer believed that the fortress was safe.

The life of this fortress is coming to an end! They have to get out of here.

However, what these soldiers did was nothing more than useless work, and now the energy impact caused by the antimatter shells fired from the main guns of the White Dwarf Battleship had spread all over the body of several fortresses.

The forts finally began to hold out, and explosions of various sizes began to occur inside.

Soon the armor of the fortress could not withstand the impact of energy from the outside, and began to crumble into tiny pieces.

In the blink of an eye, the Battlestar was engulfed in several larger explosions, turning into several huge areas of wreckage after a dazzling flash of light.

The wreckage from the explosion of these Battlestars shot out wildly, and some of the unmanned turrets that could not dodge were so overwhelmed by the rain of Battlestar debris that there was no need for the Empire to do anything, and these unmanned turrets next to the Battlestar were completely destroyed by the debris.

"Fifty-one percent of the unmanned batteries in the federal defense line have been cleared, and the eight battlegrounds of the opposing side have also been destroyed."

"At the same time, the defense fleet of the other side's 135,800 warships was also completely destroyed."

"Now the opponent is left with a bunch of unmanned batteries with almost zero defense to hold on, so to speak, we have taken this node!" An officer reported to the commander.

At the same time, the First Fleet of the Imperial Expeditionary Force also received this good news, and Li Mingze knew that the time for the First Fleet to set off had come.

Together with the Imperial Expeditionary Force's flagship Fortress, the First Fleet leapt into hyperspace, charging toward the very middle of the Union Line.

At this time, the Federation also received distress messages from four important nodes of the defense line, and one of the nodes has completely lost contact with the command, and I am afraid that it has been more than lucky.

The two million fleets that had been hidden in the front line of the Federation could no longer hide, and they flew out from behind the planets in the star system in the middle of the defense line, split into four parts, and rushed to the nodes that needed their support.

And when the hidden fleet jumped away, the Empire's First Fleet reached the star system where they had just been hiding.

On an inconspicuous planetary moon in this star system, a base hidden tens of kilometers deep underground is in chaos.

This base is the headquarters of the entire defense line of the Federation, originally this base was hidden, and there are two million fleets responsible for defense, so this command has always been extremely safe.

However, as soon as the fleet of the Command of Protection disappeared, a fleet of the Empire was killed!

"We must activate planetary defenses!" One of the generals in the base yelled at the rest of the generals.

"No, we should continue to be silent, after all, the Empire doesn't know yet that this is where the headquarters of our defense line is! The so-called most dangerous and safest place, as long as we are not exposed, we are safe! A general retorted by tapping the table.

"Impossible! It's impossible for this Sith Empire to be without equipment to scan planets, and if they are the first to discover the existence of our base, it will be over! We might as well get a first-mover advantage with planetary defenses! "A general who advocated an attack stepped forward.
