Xiao Ming naturally didn't know what Bai Zhen said after he left, and until now, the soul difference between him and Da Pan and Bai Zhen was still quite huge. With the improvement of his own strength and the sublimation of his soul, he can more and more deeply understand the soul gap between himself and Dapan and Bai Zhen.

If his soul is already a sun, then Da Pan's soul and Bai Zhen's soul are at worst a red giant - this is only the part that Xiao Ming can sense something wrong now, he knows very well that there are still a large part of the souls of these two non-humans who have not been sensed by him.

Because of this, if Da Panzi and Bai Ji whispered something in Xiao Ming's soul world, Xiao Ming would not be able to know.

Of course, Xiao Ming actually didn't care too much about this, he was now used to the big guys who lived in his soul world - in a sense, Xiao Ming was used to being the setting of a residential building.

After returning to reality, Xiao Ming's gaze swept over the battlefield, and within his sight, all the jumping assault troops had been killed, and the near airspace of the Dark Moon finally calmed down. The idle Darkmoon and planetary weapon platforms are finally ready to fire at the Skycanopy fleet in the distance.

I don't know if it was Gu Qiusha's exaggerated blow that scared the other party, or disrupted some kind of arrangement of the other party, the Sky Curtain Fleet has now stopped its jump tactics and started to advance in the most conventional tactics - all starships deploy their joint shields and advance against artillery fire.

This seemingly barbaric method is the standard way of ship-to-planetary defense system in space warfare. Under normal circumstances, no one would be like the Skycanopy Fleet just now. Completely unremembrance of the use of jumping tactics. In that kind of fight, it is estimated that more people will die than the enemy.

At this time, the Skylight Fleet had advanced to the second half of the fifth line of defense. It's about to break through. As long as they come to the position of the sixth line of defense. It will be possible to start a truly threatening firefight, at which point Darkmoon may have to switch from offense to defense, and transfer all of its energy allocation to the shield system. All attacks are left to planetary weapon platforms and orbital defense systems.

As for the escort fleet, they were not counted in the combat effectiveness in the first place. The biggest effect of pulling them out is to deploy the combined shield to protect the most important planetary weapon platforms.

Light-years apart, the fire-gathering attacks of both sides created a dense grid of attacks in the starry sky. This kind of space-time strike capability is still quite jerky for current human technology. It's also quite clumsy to use, and only the main guns of large starships or planetary weapon platforms have this technology.

Under Chrono Strike attack mode. The main cannon will directly cross the distance of the light-year, attacking in a space-warping manner.

So although the two sides are separated by light years. But when the attack is launched, it will hit the opponent directly in a maximum of ten seconds.

However, this kind of replication technology derived from the fully mature technology of the late Golden Empire has only been mastered by humans now, so not only can the range of the chrono-space-time strike be limited to ten light years, but at the same time, the main cannon of this strike capability is only equipped with large equipment.

This is also the reason why the Skycanopy Fleet needs to get close to the sixth line of defense, that is, when the distance between the two sides reaches a light year, can officially launch a large cluster of fires - the main guns of small and medium-sized starships can't hit that far at all.

The closer the galaxy defense line is to the host star, the denser it becomes. The tenth through fifth lines of defense span a full seven light-years, but the last one. But there are four dense lines of defense.

At the same time, these four dense lines of defense are also the last line of defense, once they are breached. That and the entire witch star will be completely exposed to the main cannon of the Skycanopy Fleet, and at that time, even if the revolutionary army pulls ten more zero teams, it will be useless - in the face of the space fleet formed into a group army, even if it pulls ten S-ranks, it is useless.

It's true that S-class supreme powerhouses have the ability to confront starships, but it's quite powerful to deal with one or two large starships with people. In the face of the weapons of war that have converged with wisdom and technology, the individual combat effectiveness of human beings is still insignificant.

The fifth line of defense was broken through within two hours. This is already the best result. But it was also much faster than the previous expectations of the revolutionary army, and only the second half of the fifth line of defense of the first five defenses was supported by fire from the rear planetary weapon platforms. So it was broken through quite quickly.

The sixth line of defense consisted of a large number of floating guns. Each of these little creatures with a diameter of ten meters (relative to the space environment) is spherical in shape, and its whole body is full of jets - in fact, their weapon system and jet system are one. Any one of the nozzles can become a muzzle), so a bunch of fairly nimble guys.

The main thing is that this kind of thing stops there, you don't even know if it's aimed at you until you fire, this kind of guy can fire from any position on the body, and the extremely flexible guy is a rather headache-inducing defensive weapon.

Of course, the floating guns are not dealing with the main starship, and their firepower of tens of thousands together will take more than ten minutes to break the shield of the capital ship, which is completely worthless, so they target light assault ships and space fighters. If the shield of the capital ship is broken by heavy fire, then they will also replace the space fighters in air defense domain warfare.

The biggest difference between a floating cannon and a space fighter is that its individual power is extremely small, if the space fighter is really operated well, it is also possible for a fighter to destroy a starship, but even if the floating cannon is shut down and parked in the starport, it may not be able to defeat the main starship for a day with the firepower of a single floating cannon.

So the floating cannon was a policy from the very beginning of its design - quantity.

In fact, the design of the floating cannon was originally a kind of space worm that imitated the Polaf worm, which is a spherical in shape, with a single function and very little single power, but once the number is too much, it is quite annoying - hit them, waste firepower, if you don't fight, it may cause chain damage.

The same goes for the floating cannon, which is an auxiliary combat device used in the defense line of the planet. In essence, their existence is the same as the crazy jumping tactics of the Skycanopy Fleet before, and the core tactic is not to damage the enemy, but to waste the enemy's firepower.

The floating cannon is simple to produce. The production plant on the synchronous track is fully open. 10,000 can be produced in an hour. The Skydome Empire had previously placed tens of millions of floating cannons on the sixth line of defense of the Witch Galaxy, and now these things were instead enjoyed by the Skycanopy Empire's own fleet.

The combined shield of the Skylight Fleet has been flickering non-stop, and countless spots of light like snowflakes have appeared on the light curtain under the faint light, which is the phenomenon of energy shield neutralizing the attack, which means that the opponent's shield is almost saturated, and it may break down at any time.

Tens of millions of floating cannons flew wildly around the Skydome Fleet, and the few legion guns were also forming concentrated fire from various asteroid fragments to strike.

The planetary weapon platform and orbital defense system are firing at full power, quickly depleting the combined shields of the Skycanopy fleet.

The combined shield of the Skycanopy fleet is crumbling. But the revolutionary army is not optimistic.

Under the jelly design, the Darkmoon has an oversized photon shield, and zero energy shield generators have been assembled in some key locations. However, when the Darkmoon is safe, the planetary weapon platform, orbital defense system, and escort fleet do not have such a strong defense capability.

This forced Darkmoon to shield itself in front of the planetary weapon platform. Bearing 70% of the opponent's firepower. The convoy was originally an auxiliary fleet, and in the face of the concentrated fire attack of the main fleet, their combined shields were even weaker.

Several starships have already turned into space fireworks under the energy torrent of the opponent's concentrated fire attack, including a large starship. And a heavy proton cannon platform in the orbital defense system was also blown up.

Now it's up to both sides to see whose shield can't hold on first. On the surface, the Skycanopy Fleet is more dangerous there, after all, the firepower of the planetary weapon platform is beyond the specifications.

But the Sky Fleet had the strength of two armies. In the extreme, even if the fleet that is now at the head is completely destroyed. The opponent only lost a third of his troops, and he could still launch an attack of the same level later.

But on the side of the revolutionary army, their forces are there, and once the shield collapses, it is equivalent to the collapse of the defensive line.

The brave subhuman warriors fought quite stubbornly, and not a single one shouted to retreat, nor did one shout to surrender. In order to provide limited time for the combined shield, there are already quite a few subhuman fighters who use space tactics to block the opponent's artillery fire with suicide tactics.

This doesn't have much effect, and a person's sacrifice is at most exchanged for a shield buffer of a few tenths of a second. But even so, these subhuman warriors did not need any mobilization, and launched an attack completely spontaneously.

Xiao Ming and Shakti were at the forefront of the near-air defense line on Hydra's body, and their attack power could indeed threaten the opponent's main fleet, but the problem was that their defense could not ignore the opponent's concentrated fire.

Now the opponent's main fleet is still a light year away from them, and their attack cannot be fought no matter how far away. The only thing they can do now is to use their abilities to reduce the power of their opponent's attacks as much as possible.

Emperor Shakti unleashed a lightning storm within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, and Xiao Ming threw a sea of flames, thunder and fire into it, this strange energy shield did not have any defensive ability in the strict sense, but any attack that passed through this energy shield would be consumed a lot of energy. Thus cutting down the opponent's attacks in such a way.

Hydra's ability is mainly in support, but at this time, her ability is more suitable than Xiao Ming and Shakti, and she can actually improve the efficiency and fault tolerance of the combined shield, so that the shield can last longer.

I have to say that the power of the three S-ranks gathered together is terrifying, especially Xiao Ming, a guy who has ignored the general consumption of soul power by common sense. While he cooperated with Shakti, he was still researching how to combine the flame thunder and the shield to make the shield have more powerful defensive capabilities.

However, it is obvious that Xiao Ming is not a person who is engaged in scientific research, and he is not allowed to make mistakes on the battlefield at all now, so he has studied for more than an hour without any results.

On the contrary, Jelly reconstituted several zero-energy shield generators in this time, and got two of them to the planetary weapon platform, increasing the defense level of this key defensive high-force.

This is also thanks to the fact that Jelly is now free to manipulate programmable protomatter, otherwise it would not have been possible to make such a complex device so quickly.

Of course, this is a temporary device, and it consumes Jelly's computing power, but with the help of Darkmoon, Kronos, and Ry, Jelly still seems to be at ease.

Two hours passed, the sixth line of defense was breached, and the biggest damage caused by tens of millions of floating cannons to the Skylight Fleet was to make it completely dare not use jump tactics at all, and at the same time knocked out hundreds of small starships of the opponent.

The combined shield of the Skydome Fleet was broken once, but it was not a complete collapse, but only a gap was revealed, which gave those floating cannons the opportunity to drill into millions of them in one go, and then cause huge problems in the Skydome Fleet. In addition to defeating hundreds of small starships of the opponent, it also miraculously destroyed the battlefield production line of a parent ship, reducing the production and maintenance capacity of its frigates by a part.

However, because of the presence of such a big guy as the Eternal-class space defense ship, the opponent's combined shield looked like it was about to collapse completely several times, but in the end it persevered.

On the side of the revolutionary army, more than two-thirds of the frigates have been damaged, and only the last few large starships and a dozen medium-sized starships are still holding on, but most of them are still creative, the damage management system has long been overworked, and the subhuman fighters on its bridge are listening to the battle of more than a dozen alarms per second.

On the Witch Star, a part of the ground-to-air defense weapons that have been urgently assembled have formed an array, but this weapon can only hit a distance of ten astronomical units at most, which is absolutely ultra-close, so it was stopped after only assembling a batch, which was mainly used to defend against the opponent's assault fighters.

Most of the forces on the ground are all near-airspace autonomous combat fighter robots, relying on the productivity of the entire planet, in a few hours, thousands of production lines are fully operational, and the speed of 1,000 robots per minute is being produced.

These urgently assembled robots have a combat program programmed by Jelly himself, and they have the usual style of Jelly design - all with self-detonation systems, which will blow up if they can't be defeated.

These can be said to be the last struggling forces of the witch star, and if these can't stop the last, until the reinforcements arrive, then there is no other way.

Qiandapo's brows were about to be twisted into blood, and she didn't let go for a moment, she kept scheduling protective tactics, hoping to drag on the longest time at the least cost, but in the face of absolute disadvantage, there really wasn't much she could do.

"The most optimistic estimate is that it will take another four hours for the opposing side to break through all the defenses and reach the near-airspace area (an area of five astronomical units) of the planetary weapon platform. In terms of total time, it was only nine hours. Unless we have a better way, we won't be able to hold out until the help arrives!"

"I've just been in contact with the support forces. The Sky Curtain Empire really used the remaining army group to block reinforcements. The time it takes for reinforcements to arrive in ten hours is almost zero!" Feng Daopei also sighed.

is inferior to others, and having the ability to do nothing in such a space war has no effect.

"Looks like there's only one way to try!" said Tifa.

"You mean that, are you sure?" asked Gandharva.

"As soon as the opponent enters the seventh line of defense, no more than forty astronomical units away from us, we can launch the Leap. There is nothing wrong with the leap itself, we have experimented with it before. The key is ......"

"Is it the key after the jump? This is a rather dangerous tactic!"

"We don't have a choice, though, do we?"

"In that case, do you want to call back Xiao Ming and Brother Emperor Shakti?"

"No, they have their mission, we have ours!"

After a brief conversation, Gandharva and Tifa had already made plans for the next steps. (To be continued.) )
